Chapter 2172 Human Factors
Although everyone inevitably felt regretful, the battle on the scene was still going on, so they could only feel regretful.
However, as the main body of the black tentacles disappeared, everyone suddenly discovered that the demons' cultivation level had suddenly stopped.
The first person to discover it was not the immortal Xing Tong who was responsible for the operation of the entire formation, but the paranoid.
Since the beginning of the battle, he has been using lightning magic the whole time - there is no other way, gold magic is difficult to be effective against the demon.
When he found that after a bolt of lightning struck, the attacked Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon stiffened greatly, he was a little surprised.
He had launched many attacks before, but the results were mediocre.
It's not that it can't cause stiffness, but it's only stiffness, and not only is the duration short, but the opponent can also withstand the attack and his cultivation level can be improved.
This makes people lose the will to fight more and more - they have already launched an attack with all their strength, but it's no use!
If he hadn't known that the team had a series of backup plans and the boss was also thinking about following the clues, the paranoid guy would have become emotionally unstable long ago.
When this thunderbolt technique was used, he suddenly discovered that the Nascent Soul Demon he was hit not only froze, but the demonic energy also clearly began to dissipate.
"Ha, the demon's support is cut off!"
"The situation has turned around!" Jiang Hui then also shouted. She found that the effect of her sound attack had increased dramatically.
For a moment, the morale of the cultivators on the scene was greatly boosted.
Especially the demon that was about to leave its body. It brought too much pressure to everyone. Now under the concentrated fire, it was visibly collapsing.
The pressure on the battlefield was relieved a lot in an instant, and Master Yulin even stopped after observing the battle situation.
The current war situation can be dealt with by relying solely on the disciples of the library.
Then she flashed and came to Qu Jianlei's side.
At this moment, Master Qu Ling frowned slightly, obviously thinking about something, and there was a figure beside him.
This is because Mu Yu noticed that the situation had been decided and took the initiative to protect the boss.
This kind of job used to be Jing Yuexin's exclusive job, but her sound attack is extremely effective in killing the demons, so Mu Yu was asked to protect her.
While guarding the law, she looked up into the sky, where the small cauldron was sweeping up the remaining demonic energy from the tentacles, and the cloud crown was absorbing the demonic energy that had left the body.
Teacher Yulin wanted to ask a question, but Mu Yu waved her hand at her, signaling her not to disturb the boss.
About half a minute later, Qu Jianlei nodded slightly and whispered, "This is probably the clue... It should be like this."
The next moment, Jia Shuiqing's consciousness swept across the entire place, "Do you need any more help?"
"No need," Jing Yuexin replied easily, still activating the Soul-Calming Bell in her hand, "The external force has gone, it's nothing but a chicken and a dog."
The Hongyeling team was a little nervous at the beginning, after all, they didn't know how the situation would evolve.
Of course, it’s just some pressure, far from despair. What kind of scenes hasn’t the team seen?
The most amazing thing is that he is facing several demons that have left their bodies. Even if he cannot defeat them, he may be able to escape.
The only thing to worry about is whether the foundation of Hongye Ridge can be preserved, and at most we can consider how much impact the Cangwu world will have.
It is easier to explain now. The big formation was originally the place to imprison the demons. Once the external force is gone, won't it be at the mercy of everyone?
Jing Yuexin couldn't help but remind everyone, "It's almost done, don't be too harsh, we still need to study it."
However, it was too late for her to speak. Immortal Zhiyuan had just killed a Nascent Soul Heavenly Demon. Hearing this, he asked in confusion, "Ah?"
He and others worked together to kill the demon, but he was the one who delivered the final blow.
So he subconsciously argued, "Fairy Jing, these demons... may pose a hidden danger."
There is nothing wrong with what he said. The demon's cultivation level had been improving just now. Although everyone attacked fiercely, they did feel a little chill in their hearts.
Since this situation could happen the first time, why can't it happen the second time?
Jing Yuexin did not refute him, but nodded slightly, "That's true, but we should keep some for specialized research."
Hidden dangers are a problem, but mutants have special research value. It doesn’t matter if we kill some of them, but it’s not appropriate to kill them all.
At the same time, Master Yulin asked Qu Jianlei, "Are there any clues?"
"There is one thing that needs to be studied later," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, then looked at her, "What did you want to ask just now?"
He was concentrating on thinking, but he couldn't hide the reactions of those around him, but he had no time to ask.
"I want to ask..." Master Yulin hesitated before speaking, "Can I curse him this time?"
After asking, she quickly added, "I know there will be backlash, which is not good for Master Qu Ling, but the library still has some treasures for recuperation."
"My feeling is that this guy's ability is too dangerous. It is not comparable to ordinary out-of-body abilities. I suggest you get rid of him as soon as possible."
She took the trouble to explain, just to show that she was indeed acting out of public interest.
"I understand," Qu Jianlei nodded and said with a smile, "but it depends on the specific situation. I can't make a decision right away."
The two of them were talking animatedly, and the situation gradually calmed down. Zhiyuan Zhenxian also came over, "Is there anything difficult to handle? Leave it to me."
"Thank you very much," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "We will investigate later. There is no rush for this matter."
The situation was finally calmed down half an hour later, but no one dared to be careless and left enough manpower for precaution.
When they returned to the celebration site, the guests were still waiting anxiously. When they saw them come back, they immediately started asking questions one after another.
Amid the noise, Qu Jianlei apologized and walked away.
Many people want to say hello to the number one person in Hongyeling.
But the others stopped him, saying that tonight’s matter was not over yet and the boss still had things to deal with.
Wen Yuhuazhu really wanted to make an exception, and his status was indeed not low.
But unfortunately, before the people from Hongyeling could show up, Master Yulin stopped him.
"Master Hua, please stop. They said they have something to do."
The status of the Master of the Book Pavilion is equal to that of the Five Masters of the Taoist Palace. She said this without any hesitation.
Although there were many people at the scene, apart from the Hongyeling team, only she and her senior brother understood Master Qu Ling's attitude towards this person.
Master Wen Yuhua looked at her, frowned at first, then shook his head helplessly, "Master, I have something important to do."
"You say that as if someone has a lot of free time," Master Yulin looked at him and said calmly, "This is not the Taoist Palace!"
This is a pretty stern warning: you'd better figure out who you are!
Their communication was relatively low-key, but their aura... they were both at the Nascent Soul stage, so even the slightest emotional fluctuation would have a significant impact.
Jiang Hui came over calmly and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? I want to listen too."
"Nothing," Wen Yu Zhenxian glanced at her, turned around and walked back to the guest seats.
The next two days were still the Golden Elixir Celebrations, and because of the incident at night, there were more people coming.
Many practitioners, even though they were thousands of miles away, could feel more than one breath of energy leaving their bodies.
The various attacks that illuminated the entire sky were so bright that they could not be blocked at all.
It was not until seven or eight days later that Hongye Ridge returned to its former tranquility.
However, strictly speaking, it is not too peaceful - the Foolish Lord is staying here and won't leave.
When others wanted to chase him away, he pulled Koros, one of the protagonists of the celebration, and talked to him all day long.
This was because Corona had already gone to the research site of the big formation again, so he could only talk to his brother.
Kolos knew this, but there was nothing he could do. As a Yuanying, Lord Yuhua was incredibly enthusiastic towards him.
The key is that many of the things he talked about were full of practical information. Not to mention that they were beneficial to Jindan, many situations were also unknown to the team.
Although they have been developing in Hongyeling for decades, many of the local customs and anecdotes are not recorded in historical records.
Even other people who listened to it found it very helpful, so who could stop them?
When they were chatting animatedly, even Hall Master Jiang Hui or Master Yulin would occasionally interrupt and say that things might not be as they seemed.
During this process, everyone realized that Wen Yuhuazhu was not good at awkward conversation—at least he was not very good at pleasing others.
But it is unexpected that such a guy can be regarded as a confidant by the governor of Sanjiang. It seems that this world is quite amazing.
Anyway, everyone knew that he was waiting for Lord Qu Ling to come out of seclusion, as if he had something important to say.
No one was optimistic about his efforts, but Jing Yuexin said it didn't matter.
Even though Wen Yu is pestering the boss at the moment, he may take the initiative to look for the other party after the boss comes out.
After all, the situation on the first night of the celebration was indeed a bit weird, and the boss had been trying hard to track down the real culprit.
On the thirteenth day after the celebration, Qu Jianlei finally came out again.
Hearing that Master Wen Yuhua had stayed there, he frowned slightly, but finally said, "Bring him in."
Qu Jianlei's retreat place is underground in Hongye Ridge, the place closest to the spiritual vein.
However, in order to meet this person, he still came to the meeting place in the core area of Hongyeling.
As soon as the two met, Qu Jianlei activated the defense formation and said directly that this was Nascent Soul level protection.
"If there's anything inconvenient to say, just say it directly. No one can eavesdrop... You've stayed here until now, isn't it because you have some concerns?"
Wen Yu Zhenxian was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect that Lord Qu Ling would be so straightforward and merciless in his words and deeds.
Then he asked, "I wonder what clues did Lord Qu Ling get that night a few days ago?"
"Are you sick?" Qu Jianlei's face darkened and he scolded the other person without hesitation.
"It's you who want to see me, it's you who have something to say to me, it doesn't mean you have the right to ask questions, understand?"
Wen Yu's face turned slightly pale. After all, he was one of the five masters of the Taoist Palace.
He also knew that he was not well-liked on a daily basis, but it was extremely rare for someone to scold him in person without giving him any face at all.
But in the end, he took a deep breath, calmed himself, and spoke in a deep voice.
"What I mean is that Lord Qu Ling should have already verified that this matter... may have a human factor."
