A devil's self-redemption

After staying in place for half an hour, Song Hongzhuang looked away, turned around and walked in the direction Luo Lai and the others left.

However, he was bumped into by Yu Cai'e and others before he had walked far.

Yu Cai'e has a small figure, about a little over 1.6 meters tall, but the scenery on her chest is really magnificent. After seeing Song Hongzhuang, she quickly walked up to her, and the majestic breasts jumped up and down with her steps, and she couldn't bear to People can't help but worry about whether their clothes will suddenly burst out.

"Sister Song, didn't you go after the people from the Lichen Sect? Why are you walking slower than us?"

After hearing this, everyone else also moved their eyes away from the magnificent mountain peaks and landed on Song Hongzhuang's face.

Song Hongzhuang said expressionlessly: "We just encountered an abandoned spiritual pond, which delayed us for some time. However, the people from the Lichen Sect seem to have left from there as well. Let's catch up quickly. It would be bad if we lose them. .”

Song Hongzhuang's half-truths and half-false words were fine to fool Yu Cai'e who was inexperienced in world affairs, but Lian Xinnu of the Soul Refining Sect understood the dangers of people's hearts. She calmly glanced at the direction Song Hongzhuang was coming from without noticing. Abnormal, but I still don’t believe everything Song Hongzhuang said just now.

But now there is no loophole, so I have no choice but to keep up with Yu Cai'e and others who have gone far away.

Just after Luo Lai felt the throbbing, his speed had already increased, which made several of Lan Xin's less powerful disciples panting from exhaustion.

At this time Luo Lai didn't care about so much anymore. The throbbing in his heart just now made him feel like the sky was falling. With his current strength, if he encountered the culprit that made him throb, it would definitely be more dangerous than bad. He was eager to Need to improve strength.

After running wildly for another hour, just as he was about to enter the forest, Luo Lai's footsteps suddenly froze and he cast his eyes on a small mountain peak on the left.

It is not accurate to call it a mountain peak, because it is too small and the distance above the ground is no more than fifty meters. It is more appropriate to call it a dirt bag.

After looking at the bumpkin for a while, Luo Lai suddenly jumped out and quickly distanced himself from the people behind him. Wen Ruyu and others had to try their best to catch up. When they came to Luo Lai again, Luo Lai was already squatting. Next to a pool with a radius of one foot.

This pool is crystal clear, with some pebbles at the bottom. There is not much water in the pool, only about half, but there is a spring at the bottom of the pool, which is slowly replenishing the water.

There were traces of a fight next to the pool, and the blood had not yet solidified. It was obvious that the two parties had just left.

Luo Lai closed his eyes and felt carefully. A chaotic and violent breath came from the depths of the forest. It was obvious that the fight between the two sides was not over.

This spiritual spring is of a slightly higher level and can be regarded as the best spiritual spring in the outer area. Naturally, Luo Lai will not give up easily.

He stood up and said to the people behind him: "The level of this spiritual spring is not low, but judging from the traces of fighting nearby, it should be dangerous. However, it is not a big problem. Who is willing to practice here?"

Lan Xin was a little moved when she heard this. Her strength was at the bottom among these people. It was of course the best to improve her strength as soon as possible. However, those traces of fighting really made people feel uneasy. After thinking about it again and again, she gave up here. The idea of ​​​​cultivation.

The other people's thoughts were similar to Lan Xin's, they didn't want to face danger on the periphery and not get the chance to improve their strength at the same time.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Luo Lai nodded and said: "Then take the spring water away. As long as you don't leave this secret realm, the effect of the spring water will not disappear too fast. It is better than nothing." After he said that, he faced the direction of the fight and waited at any time. Be prepared for unexpected battles.

Fortunately, the process of fetching water went smoothly. When Luo Lai and others left, there were only some smooth pebbles left in the pool, and the small spring was still gushing out, but the speed was too high. Slowly, if I want to continue to the previous position, I don’t know how long it will take.

It only took a quarter of an hour for everyone to walk into the forest. The moment they entered the forest, everyone clearly felt that the spiritual energy was much richer than the outside world.

Correspondingly, the difficulty of Luo Lai's induction has also increased a lot. The spiritual energy here is so rich that it is impossible to tell where the spiritual energy is richer in a short time.

After feeling it for a moment, Luo Lai gave up and said to the people behind him: "Who has a better way to identify the direction? Let's go straight inside and don't get lost by then."

Ding Xiaojia took a step forward and said: "I have an auxiliary magic weapon. As long as you set a direction for it, it will continue to move in this direction. As long as you keep injecting spiritual energy into the magic weapon. But you must protect it. It is very fragile and will explode immediately if attacked."

Luo Lai couldn't help but wonder that there was such a strange magic weapon.

Under the curious eyes of everyone, Ding Xiaojia took out a small, umbrella-shaped magic weapon, only the size of a palm. Ding Xiaojia made secrets with one hand and kept driving the seals into the small umbrella.

As more seals were inserted, a layer of green light appeared on the surface of the small umbrella. With a flick of Ding Xiaojia's finger, the small umbrella, a magic weapon, immediately flew away into the distance.

"Follow me!" The moment the little umbrella flew out, Ding Xiaojia jumped out after him.

Luo Lai and his group also stood up and jumped to follow Ding Xiaojia.

Luo Lai was very fast. He caught up with Ding Xiaojia in a few breaths and walked side by side with him.

Although Xiao Umbrella was fast, it was not so fast that a group of Li Mortal Realm monks could not keep up. The group followed closely behind Xiao Umbrella and walked deep into the forest.

Ding Xiaojia ran and said to Luo Lai beside him: "This secret realm seems unusual. I have never heard of monsters occupying or plundering the spiritual springs of other monsters before. We encountered such an unusual event not long after we entered. , be careful in the future!”

Luo Lai nodded in agreement. He also noticed something was wrong. The two sides fighting just now had clearly lost their minds. Even the spiritual springs they valued were no longer concerned. It was clearly a fight to the death.

This is very unreasonable. The incentives that led to the desperate fight between the two sides have been stolen by Luo Lai and the others. The two monsters are still fighting desperately, relying entirely on instinct.

With a trace of uneasiness, the group of people marched for half an hour again. Not a single spiritual spring was found along the way, which was even more unreasonable.

In the past, as long as you entered the central area, there were often a lot of spiritual springs, but the levels were very different. Most of them were relatively low-level. If there was one mid-level spiritual spring out of ten, you were lucky.

And they have never encountered an abandoned spiritual spring, not to mention a mid-level spiritual spring. This was unimaginable in the past.

"Senior Brother Luo, Senior Brother Ding, stop! Something is wrong!" Wen Ruyu ran two steps to Luo Lai and said.

Luo Lai slowly stopped and looked at Wen Ruyu, and Ding Xiaojia did the same.

Wen Ruyu calmed down his breath that was disturbed by excessive exertion and said: "In the information given by the sect, there has never been a situation where the spiritual spring cannot be reached after entering the inner circle."

Ding Xiaojia also nodded and said that this situation has never appeared in the records of the Shenquan Gang.

Luo Lai frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Then there are only two possibilities."

Wen Ruyu's expression perked up and he asked hurriedly: "What are the two possibilities?"

"The first is that we are going in the wrong direction, but if there is nothing wrong with Senior Brother Ding's magic weapon, this possibility is extremely slim!"

"My magic weapon will make no mistakes. You have also seen that along the way, he never changed his direction. Even if he encountered obstacles such as trees, he rushed through them!" Ding Xiaojia said confidently.

Luo Lai's face became more solemn and he continued: "That is the second possibility. There is a problem in the secret realm, or there is a special situation in the secret realm that has never happened before!"

"But this doesn't make sense. The spiritual energy here is so rich, why can't we see the spiritual spring?" Wen Ruyu expressed his doubts.

"That's the problem. With such a strong aura, there shouldn't be a spiritual spring, but now there really isn't one. Maybe it's not that it's not there, but that we can't see it!" Luo Lai looked around with dazzling eyes.

Ding Xiaojia also put away the umbrella-shaped magic weapon and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, a scream came from behind the team. Luo Lai flew over immediately and saw a scene that made him unbelievable.

A Lichen Sect disciple penetrated Lan Xin's abdomen with the long sword in his hand. Not only that, the disciple was still pushing Lan Xin back quickly, with the intention of extending the sword tip from Lan Xin's back to Shan Ling. Kill Shan Ling together.

Blood gurgled out of Lan Xin's mouth, accompanied by horrifying screams.

Shan Ling was also stunned by such a scene and made no dodge movements at all.

Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to pierce Shan Ling's body, a white ray of light passed by like lightning, directly cutting the part of the sword blade that leaked from Lan Xin's body in half, and then Luo Lai's figure appeared behind the Lichen Sect disciple, with his palm Holding his neck with a little force, the disciple fell limply to the ground.

Lan Xin covered her punctured abdomen and slowly fell to the ground.

Wen Ruyu's reaction was only slightly slower than Luo Lai's. At this time, he had come to Lan Xin to support her. The three healing talismans in his hands were activated at the same time and slowly applied to Lan Xin's body.

Only then did the rest of the people react, and the one who reacted the most was naturally Shan Ling, who was almost killed. At this moment, her face was pale, her whole body was shaking, and large beads of sweat were falling from her forehead down her cheeks. She seemed to be very frightened.

Luo Lai said in a deep voice: "Be careful, Junior Brother Zheng seems to have been tricked."

After hearing this, everyone looked at the disciple of the Lichen Sect who had collapsed on the ground. His name was Zheng Qi. He was always kind. This time, he suddenly attacked Lan Xin and severely injured her. No one would think that this was his original intention.

Ding Xiaojia came to Zheng Qi, supported his body with his palms, and checked whether there was any abnormality in his body. After a moment, he opened his eyelids and saw that Zheng Qi's eyes were scarlet at this moment, without the whites and pupils of normal human eyes. It seemed extremely scary.

Ding Xiaojia stood up after the inspection, frowning as if thinking about something.

Luo Lai did not disturb Ding Xiaojia from beginning to end, until Ding Xiaojia looked at him and said: "The information in the Shenquan Gang has never recorded that such a thing would happen in this secret realm. It seems that there is really something wrong with the secret realm, and they just killed each other. The monster is probably bewitched by something."

Luo Lai nodded without saying a word. He came to Lan Xin's side. At this time, the broken sword inserted into Lan Xin's abdomen had been pulled out, and the wound was slowly healing under the powerful effect of the healing charm. However, Lan Xin was already unconscious at this moment. It should be caused by excessive blood loss.

Wen Ruyu stood up and looked at Luo Lai and said, "Junior Sister Lan's injury has been stabilized. Now that she is using two healing charms, she will be back as before tomorrow morning."

Luo Lai hummed and said, "Take care of her more, and comfort Shan Ling by the way. She is also very frightened."

Unexpectedly, Shan Ling's voice rang out: "Thank you, Senior Brother Luo, for saving your life. It's all useless to me and makes all the brothers worry!"

Luo Lai smiled happily: "I wish you could recover so quickly. There will be many more things like this in the future. I hope you can protect yourself soon."

Shan Ling hummed, lowered his head in shame, and stopped talking.

Luo Lai walked aside and began to think, and after a quarter of an hour he said: "Take Junior Brother Zheng and Junior Sister Lan with you, let's go as soon as possible!"

Wen Ruyu hesitated after hearing this, but finally obeyed Luo Lai's order.

He found a disciple to carry Zheng Qi on his back. Wen Ruyu personally carried Lan Xin on his back, and then began to follow the team and move forward quickly.

This time, after only walking for half a quarter of an hour, he heard a loud bang. Luo Lai turned around and saw that Zheng Qi had fallen into a pool of blood, and his head had been shattered. The loud noise just now was the collision of his heads. The sound on the boulder.

The Lichen Sect disciple who was carrying Zheng Qi was already rushing towards Wen Ruyu who was carrying Lan Xin. Shan Ling, who was already beside Wen Ruyu, unsheathed his sword and stabbed at the crazy person. That disciple.

This time Shan Ling did not flinch, and stabbed the disciple on the shoulder with her sword. However, she seemed to have underestimated the degree of madness of the disciple. Before she could change her move, the disciple had already knocked him down with one palm. After flying out, the person was already spitting blood and was seriously injured in the air.

Wen Ruyu took this opportunity and got into the crowd with Lan Xin on his back.

Ding Xiaojia flew up and kicked the crazy disciple directly, and then attacked and punched the flesh one after another, subduing the disciple in a moment.

At this time, this disciple's eyes were scarlet red, and he was letting out meaningless roars, as if he had turned into a beast that only knew how to fight.

Ding Xiaojia started to check the condition inside his body again. After a quarter of an hour, he stood up, shook his head and said, "Nothing abnormal was found!"

Luo Lai began to explore around the disciple. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of an idea. Since there was no problem with the body, was there something wrong with the soul?

Thinking of this, he immediately closed his eyes, completely immersed himself in the black stone statue, and then probed outwards from the black stone statue to scan the disciple's soul.

Just for a moment, Luo Lai's body trembled and he discovered the clue.

He saw that the disciple's three souls and seven souls were missing one soul, and the life soul that originally belonged to him had disappeared, replaced by a group of scarlet mist, exuding an evil aura.
