Lonemoon took out a dharmic talisman, casted a spell and covered it on Shen Ying’s hand. Immediately, that red light slipped into the talisman paper. “Take it back to the mountain, cleanse the baleful Qi on it with spirit qi and just send it into Samsara.” With that said, he was just about to keep the talisman, but then he thought about it, and his hand turned to stuff it into Shen Ying’s storage bag. The immortal qi on him was too thick, he was afraid that he’d really break the remnant soul if he’s not careful. It’s still safer to put it on Shen Ying.

“… Yes, Master.” Jian Xing nodded. He gave Shen Ying a look and said nothing more.

Yet the ground suddenly started shaking. Without the support from the Ghost Qi of that evil ghost, the mountain started destabilizing.

“It is collapsing here. Let’s leave quickly.” reminded Lonemoon.

“Wait!” Jian Xing turned and said, “There’s still Mushroom!” He pointed to the side.

Indeed, Mushroom was lying here, seeming to have fainted. Lonemoon walked up and grabbed her directly. Then he looked around, but saw no other figure. He asked subconsciously, “Where’s that sister of yours?” Wasn’t she the one said to be caught?

Jian Xing’s face whitened and his eyes dimmed immediately. His head bowed down with some sorrow. Lonemoon understood immediately that he came one step too late. For a time, he didn’t know what to say. He sighed and lingered no more, but directly waved to set an array, transporting them out.

Before the four returned to the place just now, they already saw Fatty and others who rushed towards them.

“Master, is that ghost dealt with?” Fatty hastened his footsteps and walked over, yet he saw the person he was grabbing immediately. “Mushroom! What’s up with her?” Fatty hurried to take the person into his arms and started checking carefully.

“She was injured by that ghost and fainted.” Lonemoon explained casually. “That ghost was very good at soul summoning, her primordial spirit might be unstable.”

Fatty’s face changed. He hurried to take Mushroom’s hand and sent a bit of immortal qi inside. Indeed, the primordial spirit showed the tendency to leave the body at any moment. He hurried to help her stabilize the primordial spirit.

Lonemoon actually turned to Jian Xing at the back, took out a recovering elixir and said, “You are also hurt rather badly. Eat the elixir and adjust your breathing right here for a while.”

“Thank you so much, Master!” Jian Xing took the elixir and ate it. Instantly, the wounds on him began to heal.

The other disciples looked behind them, and discovering that one person was missing, they couldn’t help but say, “Uncle-Master Jian Xing, where is Miss Zhi Lin? Why didn’t she come back with your party?”

The figure of Jian Xing who just sat down swayed a little. His hands tightened by his body. After a long while, he finally said in a low voice, “I… didn’t reach in time. She was killed by that ghost.”

Everyone’s faces paled together, and they started sighing and sobbing. Especially the disciple who just spoke, he didn’t know what to do at all. Though Zhi Lin was also chased out of the sect, she used to cultivate together with them after all. Though she made mistakes on the way, it was not worth a death. There was a bit of friendship after all, especially with her being the younger sister of Jian Xing.

Jian Xing worked harder in cultivation than others partly because of this younger sister as well. So long as he finished his studies and went down the mountain, there would eventually be a day of reunion. A pity that… life is unpredictable.

The scene silenced down, and nobody knew how to comfort him.
