Chapter 331 - The Hopeless Plight (2/2)

Everyone turned to the sound, only to see Zhou Li panicking in the distance. Qingyu who was lying there yesterday had disappeared, leaving only a blue and white gown. Yu Yifeng hastily walked over and said, “What happened!”

Zhou Li’s eyes were red and he said anxiously, “I was watching over her last night, but then I somehow fell asleep. When I woke up, Junior Sister was gone…”

When he said this, he suddenly stared at Ling Fei and Wan Yanyan who were a distance away and yelled, “Is it you!” With a “clink”, he summoned his flying sword and attacked the two.

“Junior Brother, don’t be impulsive!” Yu Yifeng hurriedly stopped the flying sword.

At this moment, the rest also looked at both Ling Fei and Wan Yanyan. Ling Fei laughed scornfully. “Zhou Li, there is no proof or evidence. You shouldn’t make accusations!”

Yu Yifeng frowned deeply as he looked at the crowd. “Who was last on duty last night?”

After hearing this, the crowd looked at each other. It seemed that in the early hours of the morning, everyone fell asleep in a daze. Xiao Chen turned to look at the boy in red who seemed to have woken up slightly earlier than him. He asked, “Little brother, did you see the girl in white from yesterday?”

The boy did not reply. He stretched out his left hand and pointed to the southeast direction. Zhou Li sprinted and rushed towards the direction he pointed. Behind him, Yu Yifeng and Xiao Chen followed closely. Su Zimu and Xiaoyue exchanged glances before they follow suit.

After running for about 20 miles, a cliff could be seen. The cold wind on the cliff blew, making the dresses of a woman in white danced.

Suddenly the woman raised her sword in her hand and was about to wipe it on her neck. Xiao Chen condensed a Qi on his finger and pointed at her. A strong air blasted, with a “clink”, the woman’s sword bounced several meters away.

Zhou Li dashed over and grabbed the woman in his arms, and sobbed. “Junior Sister Qingyu, what are you doing! Junior Brother Xiao said there will be a way; how can you…”

Qingyu pushed him away, tears streaming down her face. “Don’t, don’t touch me, I’m already a monster… I don’t want to become a monster in front of you…” Then she started to sob so uncontrollably that she could not speak anymore.

The rest of the people also came over at this moment, but they did not dare to go closer. The back of Qingyu’s hand was already covered with a layer of black scales. Even on her neck, there were many devil patterns… The skin was oozing black Qi, which looked frightening. She was to be completely demonized within 6 hours.

The cold wind howled and no one spoke. So what if they were former companions.

All of a sudden, Zhou Li knelt in front of Xiao Chen and cried, “Junior Brother Xiao, you can cure Miss Ye. I beg you…”

“Senior Brother Zhou, don’t do this!” Xiao Chen hurriedly lifted him up. He looked at Qingyu and was about to walk over when a blue one purple two figure suddenly blocked his way. It was Qingluan and Ziyun’er.

Xiao Chen shook his head and pushed the two sisters away. He walked near Qingyu, but Qingyu took a step back and said, “Don’t, Don’t be near me…”

Xiao Chen sighed. He was now clueless of what to do. Suddenly an idea flashed into his mind like a lightning. He remembered the time in the tomb of Xiao family when he had accidentally seen a Devilish Skill in a book called Mystic Diabolic Enchantment.

There was a method in the book that could direct the Devil Qi from any place into oneself. Now that it was impossible to dispel the Devil Qi from Qingyu’s body, but it is not necessarily impossible to direct it into himself.

As he thought about this, Xiao Chen looked at people not far away and said, “Can you please support me with a Barrier later to prevent the Devil Qi from penetrating from the surrounding area?”

He had to run the skill in the Mystic Diabolic Enchantment to absorb the Devil Qi in Qingyu’s body. But once this skill set off, it was bound to also absorbed the Devil Qi from the surrounding. Therefore, it was needed for a Barrier to block off the surrounding Devil Qi.

Qingluan and Ziyun’er knew what he was thinking. Both of them knelt on one knee and bowed. “No! My Lord, please put yourself first! ”

“Don’t worry. I can’t be invaded by ordinary Devil Qi.” Xiao Chen was not worried. In the past, his body had produced Devil Qi before because of the Heaven’s Talisman. However, he had managed to resolve it with the mind cultivation method of the Yaoguang School.

Moments later, the crowd together held up the Barrier to block the Devil Qi of the surrounding from invading outside the barrier. The two sisters, Qingluan and Ziyun’er frowned deeply but they knew it was impossible to persuade Xiao Chen.

Inside the Barrier, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged behind Qingyu and said, “You don’t have to worry. Remember not to exercise resistance later.” With his arms shaking, his two palms placed against the center of her back.

Everyone was on tenterhooks, with cold sweats on their back. A demonized Qingyu would be easy to deal with, but Xiao Chen had the highest cultivation level here. If he was to be demonized, who could fight against him here? However, there were no other ways at present. Each of them could only do their best to maintain the barrier to prevent the Devil Qi from outside to get in.
