Chapter 415: Psychic Attack

However, many of the Qi warriors from the other clans, who were at the middle or late Greater Heaven stage, suddenly fell to the ground with blood coming out of their ears and eyes.

Even worse, some early Greater Heaven stage cultivators, who hadn’t spent much time forging their soul sea and thus didn’t possess significant psychic power, were caught off-guard. With their souls pierced, they died instantly.

Dong Mingxuan’s face turn pale with fright as he reminded everyone loudly, “Watch out! It’s the Phantasms’ psychic attack!”

However, his reminder came a little late.

After yelling out these words, he looked over his shoulder and discovered that some early Greater Heaven stage members who weren’t skilled at using their psychic power had already collapsed to the ground upon the strong impact from the Phantasms’ psychic attack. With their souls riddled with holes or simply shattered, many died instant deaths.

Even those with higher cultivation bases had fallen to the ground, where they hastily fetched medicinal pills with grim expressions to cure the injuries to their souls.

All of them had focused on protecting themselves from the corrosive phantasm Qi with their spiritual power shields, but had ignored the defense of their souls.

As soon as the sharp screech echoed out, they all took serious blows. They were either killed or severely injured, their miserable wails filling the air.

“Hmm?!” Dong Mingxuan couldn’t help but exclaim as he set his eyes on the Dong Clan’s Qi warriors, confusion appearing on his face.

At this moment, the other Worldly realm experts who had been marching in the front, as well as Cao Qiushui, Qian Xin, Gu Haofeng, and Qin Yan, all noticed the Dong Clan members’ condition: none of them died or had blood coming out of their eyes and ears.

All of them seemed unharmed by the Phantasms’ psychic attack.

Each and every one of them cast their shocked and admiring gaze towards Dong Li, as they were all very grateful for her wise instructions.

“Our Miss is so awesome!”

“We made the right decision by following her!”

“Without our Miss’ reminder, none of us would have been able to ward off the Phantasms’ psychic attack. We would either have been killed or severely injured!”

Respect and admiration filled their eyes as they looked at her.

However, under her subordinates’ gazes, Dong Li’s expression grew somewhat uneasy, as she secretly felt ashamed.

“Dong Li!!” Cao Qiushui couldn’t help but yell at her. “How come your men are the only ones who are unhurt? If you knew what was going to happen, why didn’t you remind us?!”

Qian Xin and Gu Haofeng’s expressions also grew unpleasant.

Even Qin Yan’s expression grew grim as she stepped over and asked with her eyes fixed on Dong Li, “What’s that about, Li?”

Dong Li hadn’t expected the change would take place so abruptly and catch everyone else off guard.

By the time she realized she should have told everyone, it was already too late. People from the other clans or sects had already sustained different degrees of injuries.

“Well... I wasn’t sure that the Phantasms would launch psychic attacks,” Dong Li said with a deeply embarrassed expression on her face. “I was going to let Han Mu inform you guys about my speculation after he finished informing my men. However, who would have known that the change would come so abruptly?”

“This is not the time to place blame!” Shen Zhong from the Pill Pavilion Sect called out. “Everyone, learn from your lesson and do your best to guard your souls! There’s something strange about this place. The moment that screech echoed out, the mountain walls on both sides seemed to have enhanced its might. I should taken some of the responsibility, as I failed to notice the anomaly and discover what the Phantasms were up to.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone shut their mouths and hastily gathered their psychic power to form defenses protecting their souls, lest more psychic attacks should come.

Just as they expected, soon after their defenses were raised, another screech rang out.

Hearing the screech, the well-prepared crowd looked at the mountain walls on both sides of the valley as they summoned psychic power to defend their souls.

The sparsely vegetated mountain walls were once again covered in watery, cyan energy. Immediately afterwards, the might of the ear-piercing screech skyrocketed. Like tens of thousands of sharp arrows, they shot towards everyone’s souls.

However, since everyone was prepared, they did their utmost to defend against them. Some of them let out muffled groans, but no one was seriously injured.

Qian Xin let out a cold harrumph and called out, “Dong Li! Next time you discover any anomalies, let us know, alright?”

“Of course, I will!” Dong Li said, grievance filling her stomach. “I was going to remind you. It was just that it happened too fast.”

“That’d better be it.” Qian Xin seemed very displeased. “We’re all from the Realm of a Hundred Battles, and we’ve worked with each other many times.I hope we can trust each other instead of harboring disloyalty! Please save your schemes for our enemies!”

Dong Li seemed rather embarrassed.

After the incident, everyone raised their guard and didn’t rush into the depths of the valley.

Everyone guarded their souls tightly, worrying that they would face more psychic attacks.
