Chapter 87 - Awakening Mental Demons (2/2)

Sorcery filled the air in seconds. Yi Qing and Lonemoon were sword cultivators and could handle one or two Traveling Immortals, but there was simply too many of them. When the three masters of the aristocratic families entered the pagoda, they brought along all the Traveling Immortals from their families. Only the master of the Xuan Yuan Family did not do so due to the Traveling Immortals from his family all being seriously wounded.

Apart from the family masters, there were eight other Traveling Immortals. Lonemoon and Yi Qing each had to take on four of them – merely thinking about it tired him out. The fact that he sustained injuries in the previous level made matters worse. While not seriously injured, it did affect his performance.

They had no time to look for the exit. The only solution was to fight their hardest and wake these people up.

It did not take long for Lonemoon to realise that these people’s situations differed from his. Their blank looks revealed that they were not merely missing their consciousness – even their primordial spirits were…

Lonemoon’s eyes widened. He shouted at Yi Qing beside him, “Yi Qing, most of them are completely enchanted by their mental demons. We can’t wake them up!”

He gritted his teeth. Traveling Immortals were, by definition, cultivators who failed to achieve Immortal Ascension. Their mental demons were bound to be greater than most people. It would not be so easy for them to defeat their mental demons.

Yi Qing’s expression fell as he suddenly realised this as well. He scanned the group of manipulated bodies as he defended against their attacks. Then, he replied, “Focus! Wake the three family masters up first!”

Lonemoon nodded as he dodged the Traveling Immortal’s side attack. He turned around and focused his attention on Yin Feng.

This battle lasted over twenty hours. As Lonemoon’s spiritual power drained, he made a final effort to thrust his sword toward Yin Feng, generating an aggressive killing intent. Just before the sword cut through Yin Feng’s body, his distracted face regained some sort of focus. His eyes filled with horror as he suddenly registered the sword intent. He dodged but the sword still sliced his right arm. Blood began to flow out of the wound.

“This… this is…” Yin Feng still looked terrified, but the fear was now mixed with a tinge of confusion. “Supremacy Lonemoon?”

Lonemoon had no time to explain. Yi Qing was already helping the two other family masters – now conscious – fly over to meet them. Compared to Yin Feng, the two other family masters were far more seriously injured. Clearly, Yi Qing did not hold back.

Yi Qing turned around and thrust his sword toward the Traveling Immortals who were chasing him. The sky filled with Sword Qi. “They’re awake! Go!” Yi Qing instructed. Then, he changed directions and flew toward the horizon.

Lonemoon wasted no time. He helped the injured Yin Feng up and followed Yi Qing.

They needed time to rest.

At this time, 50 kilometers away.

Shen Ying studied her strange surroundings and suddenly recalled an important question.

Where’s… Huayuan City?

If she had known she would get lost, she would have brought Radish out with her. She had already walked such a distance… Should I turn back?

Just when she decided to turn back, she paused.

Which direction is… home?

It’s so troublesome to leave the house.
