Xiao Li had just been frightened by the power of that thing's explosion. It had blown him away with all of his Zhen Qi activated. The Zhen Qi within his body had been blocked, and his clothes had been torn to shreds. Xiao Li stood there and was about to glare angrily at Old Zhao. Why did he still launch such a sneak attack? He suddenly realized that he was trapped in thick black smoke.
The hall was already dark, so Xiao Li couldn't see his own fingers in front of him. The Great Elder on the stone steps suddenly shouted, ”This is bad, this is the Sect's' Soul Devouring Bomb '. Leave one person behind to guard the door, do not let the bandits escape while the situation is chaotic, the rest of you follow me down to capture the traitor. Pay attention to the Soul Devouring Smoke. Even if you extend your hand, it will be difficult to dispel the smoke. You need to guard against sneak attacks from the opponent. This smoke was the foundation of the demonic arts. One had to focus on the essence and not be fooled by the illusion. Everyone had their backs to each other, protecting each other. It wasn't certain that they would be able to find the two thieves in the hall. Hong Tong, guard this place and capture whoever who tries to escape through this door. If they are unable to capture them alive, they will not be able to do so. ”
Hong Tong was Foreign Dignitary Hong. He acknowledged the order and said, ”Yes, Great Elder.”
When Xiao Li heard this, he subconsciously understood. It turned out that Old Zhao had just secretly resented him for preventing him from stealing the secret manual. Thus, when he released the 'Soul Devouring Bomb', he purposely blasted Xiao Li to avenge his earlier injury. The reason why he released the Soul Devouring Smoke was mainly to use it as a cover and perform some secret techniques to hurt the enemy and escape.
Xiao Li carefully sniffed the black smoke and found some clues. The smoke contained a large amount of knockout drugs that would cause people to hallucinate. He immediately held his breath and regretted not being able to refine some of the knockout drugs. Although his own medical knowledge was not very good, he had read a large number of medical manuals and records from the senior doctor, so he could naturally discover some peculiarities within the smoke.
(This Hong guest was not just thinking like Xiao Li. He came to investigate Xiao Li's situation.) After he received Xiao Li's medicinal formula, he naturally wanted to do everything in his power to help Xiao Li, so he specially came to the inner altar to investigate. He didn't expect that Xiao Li would trigger the traps at this very moment. The First Elder immediately brought them over.
Xiao Li was inwardly anxious. It wasn't his intention to be trapped in this muddy water to begin with. Now he was even more trapped in the thick smoke. If he didn't think of a way out, he would be trapped in a deep prison.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred within the thick smoke. The surrounding smoke surged, condensing into gigantic figures that roared loudly, the sound was as loud as thunder, the surrounding ground started to shake, Xiao Li's head was also shaken by the thunder, his mind was buzzing, all thoughts disappeared from his head. He felt that the world had suddenly become hell, his body was surrounded by evil spirits and devils, he himself was like a small ant in front of these demon gods.
Suddenly, a clear whistling sound could be heard, accompanied by the demon's roar. It was clear and resonant like the cry of an eagle, causing people's spirits to rise. When Xiao Li heard this, he finally calmed down. He couldn't help but feel alarmed. He knew that these demon gods were most likely the doing of the sect's evil arts. He had almost lost control of his mind and entered a state of immersion. The whistling sound must have been released by the Elders of Lou Guang Sect just now to resist the bewitching sound produced by the demonic technique.
The thick smoke gradually disappeared after the howling sound had broken through the demon's roar, and the surroundings returned to how it was before. Xiao Li didn't dare to act rashly. He knew that the thick smoke was filled with killing intent and that someone could ambush him at any time. He could only rely on his hearing to listen to their situation.
After the whistling sound, the dense smoke returned to its previous tranquility, as if nothing had happened. Xiao Li didn't hear anyone either, as if everything around him had been isolated from him.
Suddenly, there was a slight cracking sound, followed by a loud bang, then the Great Clan Elder's voice came from the right, and said: ”Of the group of rats, all you can do is to steal from the dog, the Soul Sucking Demon Sound was only so, and now you actually dare to walk in and activate the mechanism, hahahaha, how did the 'Demon Subduing Palm' taste?”
After some time, he suddenly heard a creaking sound, and then Old Zhao's voice rang out, ”Thank you for your gift, allowing this old man to obtain the 'Cyan Scaled Sword' as he wished. Now that I have it, you all should be careful.” After Old Zhao said this, there was silence.
The Great Clan Elder seemed to be very angry, and said angrily: ”What's the use of getting the sword now? If you can take the treasure with you, I don't need you to do anything. I will personally deliver it to the group of old men with my head held high. If you really have the ability, then come here and fight me to the death. If we don't stop until we die, then relying on evil techniques to escape is not an honorable action. ”
