The thick fog enveloped everyone like a shroud, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face, and even breathing became difficult.

Yan Yue's heart was pounding, and an inexplicable uneasiness spread in her heart.

This fog is definitely not ordinary.

"Be careful!" Before Yan Yue finished speaking, a scream came from the side.

A cultivator suddenly fell to the ground in pain, holding his head, mumbling incoherently with a look of madness on his face.

Almost at the same time, screams came one after another.

Some weak-willed cultivators seemed to have lost their minds, with crazy lights flashing in their eyes. They drew their weapons and began to attack the people around them.

"Oh no! There's something strange about this fog! It can affect people's minds!" Hong Gang roared, waving the giant axe in his hand and repelling a cultivator who had lost his mind.

"Everyone be careful! Stay awake!" Elder Zhao also reminded loudly, while releasing a protective aura to resist the erosion of the fog.

In the chaos, Lan Xing's face was pale and his body was trembling slightly. He was obviously affected by the fog.

"My head... hurts so much..." She groaned in pain, barely able to hold the staff in her hand.

Yan Yue immediately realized that the situation was critical.

Relying on her memories from her past life, she knew that hidden in the fog was an evil force that could control the mind.

She quickly circulated the spiritual power in her body, calling upon the special skills she had cultivated in her previous life, to calm her mind.

At the same time, she channeled a gentle spiritual power into Blue Star's body to help her resist the erosion of her mind.

"Lan Xing, concentrate and keep your mind!" Yan Yue's voice rang in Lan Xing's ears, like a clear spring, making her chaotic consciousness gradually clear.

Lan Xing looked at Yan Yue gratefully, his eyes full of trust.

At this moment, a cold voice came from the fog: "Hehehe... I didn't expect someone to come in so soon... You really don't take the road to heaven, but you break into hell!"

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow flashed from the fog, as fast as lightning, and rushed straight towards Yan Yue.

"Be careful!" Nong Jin shouted and stood in front of Yan Yue. A golden light flashed in his hand, and a huge golden sword appeared in his hand.

He brandished the golden sword and fought with the black shadow.

The shadowy figure was none other than Gongsun Yu. He stared at Yan Yue with a sinister, hateful look, gritting his teeth and saying, "Yan Yue! Today is the day you die!"

In the fog, faint roars could be heard, which was creepy.

"It seems that the real danger has just begun..." Nong Jin's eyes flashed, and the golden sword in his hand shone even brighter.

The fog rolled like a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, trying to devour everything.

Yan Yue frowned slightly. The mental attack in the fog was stronger than she had expected.

But she was not unprepared. Her experience of lingering on the brink of life and death in her previous life gave her a unique resistance to this kind of mental attack.

She silently recited the mental method she had practiced in her previous life. A cool breath rose from her dantian and flowed through her body, forming an invisible barrier that kept the fog out.

Lan Xing's complexion gradually recovered, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared, replaced by gratitude and admiration.

"Yan Yue, thank you." Her voice was still trembling, but full of sincerity.

Yan Yue smiled at her and said, "Now is not the time to thank me. First, find a way to break out of this siege."

Nong Jin held Yan Yue's hand tightly and whispered in her ear, "I'm here, don't be afraid." Yan Yue felt Nong Jin's warm breath and her heart warmed.

His presence was like a stabilizing force, giving her a sense of security in a crisis-ridden environment.

At this moment, a cold laugh broke the silence of the fog, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, which was creepy.

"Hehehe... Yan Yue, do you think you can hide away?"

Gongsun Yu's figure slowly emerged from the fog, followed by a dozen men in black, each with a gloomy and murderous aura.

They were like evil spirits from hell, surrounding Yan Yue and others.

Gongsun Yu looked at Yan Yue, his eyes full of hatred and sarcasm.

"Today is the day you die!" He waved his hand, and the men in black behind him pounced on Yan Yue and others like hungry wolves.

"Protect Yan Yue!" Hong Gang and Elder Zhao shouted at the same time and stood in front of Yan Yue.

Hong Gang swung his giant axe with great force, forcing back several men in black.

Elder Zhao raised a bronze shield to block the attack of the man in black.

A golden light flashed in Nong Jin's eyes, and the golden sword in his hand shone brightly, like a golden lightning, cutting through the fog and going straight for Gongsun Yu.

Gongsun Yu snorted coldly, and a black sword appeared in his hand, meeting Nong Jin's attack.

For a moment, golden light and black light intertwined, sword energy was everywhere, and the fog was filled with the sound of fierce fighting.

Yan Yue was not idle. She knew very well that in this situation, passive defense would only put herself in a more dangerous situation.

She quickly took out a dagger that was flashing with cold light from her storage bag, and with a flash of her body, she joined the battle.

Her dagger may look ordinary, but it actually holds great power.

Each strike was precise and ruthless, aiming directly at the black-clad man's vital points.

Before the men in black could react, they were knocked to the ground by her.

Lan Xing also waved his staff, releasing rays of purifying light to dispel the fog and weaken the power of the man in black.

The fog gradually dissipated and the situation on the battlefield became clearer.

Although Yan Yue and others were outnumbered, they gradually gained the upper hand with their tacit cooperation and strong strength.

Gongsun Yu's face darkened, a fierce glint in his eyes. He hadn't expected Yan Yue to be so formidable, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful for taking the enemy so lightly.

"Damn it!" He roared, the black sword in his hand shone brightly, and a powerful force burst out from his body... He suddenly concentrated his strength on one point and rushed straight towards Yan Yue.

Seeing this, Nong Jin flashed and stood in front of Yan Yue...

The golden sword light and the black sword energy collided violently, making a sharp explosion and shaking the surrounding trees.

Nong Jin stood in front of Yan Yue, wielding the golden sword tightly, neutralizing Gongsun Yu's fierce attacks one by one.

"You think you can protect her? You are overestimating yourself!" Gongsun Yu sneered, and the black sword in his hand shone brightly. The sword energy was like a black poisonous snake, wrapped in a suffocating breath of death.

"Hong Gang, cover!" Nong Jin shouted in a low voice.

Hong Gang roared angrily, and with the huge axe in his hand, he chopped down Gongsun Yu's men with the force of splitting a mountain.

He was a burly man with incredible strength. Every time he swung his giant axe, it created a gust of wind that forced the men in black to retreat.

However, although the individual strength of the men in black was not as good as Hong Gang, they had the advantage of being numerous and cooperating well, gradually surrounding Hong Gang.

The swords in their hands flashed with cold light, like the fangs of poisonous snakes, constantly attacking Hong Gang's vital points.

Although Hong Gang was brave, he gradually became powerless and small wounds began to appear on his body.

"Hahaha, Hong Gang, is this all the strength you have?" Gongsun Yu laughed triumphantly when he saw Hong Gang gradually losing the upper hand. The attack of the black sword in his hand became more fierce, and the pressure on Nong Jin became greater and greater.

Yan Yue stood behind Nong Jin with a frown on her face. She could feel Gongsun Yu's strength, and she also knew that although Nong Jin was powerful, he would inevitably be at a disadvantage if he continued to fight with Gongsun Yu for a long time.

She had to find a way to turn the situation around.

She took a deep breath calmly, secretly circulated the spiritual power in her body, and condensed a thin, almost invisible spiritual power thread at her fingertips.

This thread contains her unique mental power, which can interfere with the opponent's consciousness. Even a strong man like Gongsun Yu would find it difficult to detect.

Gongsun Yu was proudly suppressing Nong Jin when he suddenly felt a slight dizziness and the black sword in his hand paused slightly.

In this brief moment, Nong Jin seized the opportunity. The golden sword was like a flash of lightning, cutting through Gongsun Yu's protective qi and leaving a deep wound on his arm.

"Ah!" Gongsun Yu screamed in pain, staggered back, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

He never thought that he would be hurt by Nong Jin.

"Now!" Yan Yue said in his heart.

Nong Jin took advantage of the victory and pursued, the golden sword shone brightly, like a golden dragon, roaring and rushing towards Gongsun Yu.

Gongsun Yu tried to resist hastily, but he had already lost the initiative and could only watch the golden sword approaching.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Gongsun Yu was knocked away by the golden sword, fell heavily to the ground, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, the men in black behind him also stopped and looked at Nong Jin in horror.

"Ahem..." Gongsun Yu struggled to stand up, but the severe pain in his chest made it difficult for him to move. He looked at Nong Jin, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.

Lan Xing hurried to Hong Gang and treated his injuries.

Although Hong Gang was covered in wounds, fortunately they were all superficial injuries and not serious.

"Yan Yue, thank you." Nong Jin walked to Yan Yue, his eyes full of gratitude.

He knew that without Yan Yue's help, he would not have been able to repel Gongsun Yu so easily.

Yan Yue smiled at him and said, "There's no need to thank each other."

However, just when everyone thought the crisis was over, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and a low roar came from the depths of the ruins, as if something terrifying was awakening...

Elder Zhao's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Oh no! It's Lingying! It's awakened!"

Gongsun Yu fell to the ground in a mess, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of resentment.

The men in black he brought with him were all injured. They looked at Nong Jin in horror and did not dare to take another step forward.

The attack just now made them witness the true strength of the Immortal Emperor, and also made them understand that the gap between them and Nong Jin was like a chasm.

"You don't know your own limitations." Nong Jin snorted coldly, and golden light flowed on the golden sword, ready to give Gongsun Yu a fatal blow at any time.

Gongsun Yu struggled to get up, but it agitated his wound, causing him to groan in pain. He glared at Yan Yue fiercely, gritting his teeth and saying, "Yan Yue, you're cheating!"

Yan Yue smiled faintly and said in a feigned softness, "Master Gongsun, that's wrong. On the battlefield, things change rapidly. Knowing how to capitalize on opportunities is also a form of strength. Is Master Gongsun only capable of head-on confrontation?"

These words seemed weak, but in fact, every word was heart-wrenching, exposing Gongsun Yu's incompetence and recklessness.

The cultivators around looked at Gongsun Yu with a bit more contempt in their eyes.

At this moment, the ground shook more violently, and the roar coming from the depths of the ruins became clearer and clearer.

Elder Zhao turned pale and shouted in fear, "The spirit shadow is coming out! Everyone, run!"

Elder Zhao’s words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone’s hearts.

Lingying's evil reputation is known to everyone in the world of immortal cultivation.

It is said that it guards the treasure in the ruins and its strength is unfathomable. Countless cultivators have died at its hands.

Everyone was frightened and retreated.

However, before they could take a few steps, a powerful pressure came from the depths of the ruins, pinning them firmly in place.

"You can't run away!" Hong Gang said with a grim expression.

Nong Jin protected Yan Yue behind him, looked firmly into the depths of the ruins, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Yue, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Yan Yue felt warm in her heart, and she held Nong Jin's hand tightly, saying softly, "I believe you."

At this critical moment, a gleam of light flashed in Yan Yue's eyes. She quietly activated the spiritual energy in her body, and an invisible force quietly spread out.

Almost at the same time, Gongsun Yu suddenly felt dizzy and the spiritual power in his body became disordered.

He was horrified to find that he could no longer control his body!

"What's going on?" Gongsun Yu exclaimed.

A sneer appeared on Yan Yue's lips. This was the opportunity she had been waiting for! The magic she had secretly cast was designed to target Gongsun Yu's weaknesses.

"Nong Jin, do it!" Yan Yue shouted in a low voice.

Nong Jin understood what he meant, and the golden sword turned into a golden light, instantly piercing Gongsun Yu's chest.

"Ah!" Gongsun Yu let out a scream and fell heavily to the ground, dying.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Lan Xing quickly stepped forward and dispelled the negative energy from everyone.

"Thank you, Miss Yan, for your help!" Elder Zhao said gratefully.

Yan Yue smiled faintly and said, "Elder Zhao, you are too polite. Now we should think about how to deal with Lingying."

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the depths of the ruins, followed by a powerful wave of force that swept over, shocking everyone back.

"It's out!" Elder Zhao exclaimed.

Yan Yue looked up and saw a huge figure slowly emerging from the depths of the ruins. The figure was completely black and exuded a terrifying aura.

"That's Lingying..." Yan Yue muttered to himself.

Nong Jin held Yan Yue's hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, we will face it together."

Yan Yue nodded, a look of determination flashing in her eyes. She knew that a fierce battle was inevitable.

Suddenly, Yan Yue grabbed Nong Jin and pointed to the seemingly peaceful forest ahead, "Wait, there..."
