"Yes, I can feel that his strength is increasing. There must be someone else assisting him." Qingli's eyes swept over everyone present.

"It must be these evil practitioners! They must have a leader!" Dongfang Qingmo said with certainty, "No wonder Erdeni and Wuzhitu led us here. It seems they want us to be sacrificed!"

It turns out that everything has a trace.

"It seems that we need to solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." Qingli clenched his fists.

"Then what should we do now?" Qian Shuishui asked anxiously.

"We need to investigate this matter more thoroughly," Huangfu Yi analyzed calmly. "At the same time, we must strengthen our defenses to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of our situation."

"Okay, I'll take you out now." Qingli made a decisive decision.

"But, Brother Qingli..." Zili still wanted Qingli to go back to the mist forest with her.

Qingli patted Zili's shoulder and said earnestly, "Zili, this matter is of no small importance. Once it is settled, I will go back with you."

"Okay." Zi Li was a little disappointed, but still nodded obediently.

Qingli tapped lightly on the table in front of him, his voice clear and loud: "In that case, let's not delay any further. I'll take you out now." After that, he turned his gaze to Huangfu Yi, Dongfang Qingmo and the others, as if waiting for their response.

Dongfang Qingmo frowned slightly, turned to look at Huangfu Yi beside him, with a questioning look in his eyes.

She hoped that Huangfu Yi could make a decision, but Huangfu Yi just nodded, indicating that he agreed with Qingli's proposal.

Seeing this, Qingli stood up without hesitation and said in a firm tone: "Then please follow me." As he spoke, he walked into the depths of the cave, and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The four of them followed closely behind, following Qingli back to the dark cave.

Suddenly, Dongfang Qingmo stopped, a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He said to Qingli, "Well, my protective device was destroyed by your men. Don't you want compensation?"

I almost forgot, she hasn't used this treasure properly yet! !

Qingli turned around and looked at Dongfang Qingmo with a puzzled look on her face, and asked, "What protective device?"

Zi Li, who was standing by, quickly took out the small white ball from her bosom, handed it to Qing Li, and explained, "Brother Qing Li, this soul is the protective magic weapon that Grandpa Wu gave to Sister Qing Mo."

However, Qingli did not answer immediately, but fell into a brief silence.

He stared quietly at the white ball in his hand, a feeling of shock welling up in his heart.

At this point, Qian Shuishui could no longer suppress her inner anxiety and rushed forward to question Qingli, "Hey, are you going to compensate us or not? We can't let our protective gear be destroyed like this!"

Qingli remained silent, as if thinking about something important.

In fact, his heart was already in turmoil at this moment.

Qingli secretly wondered in her heart what kind of mysterious background did this Dongfang Qingmo have that could make Old Man Wu go to such great lengths to protect her, even sacrificing his own soul to protect her!!!

If Dongfang Qingmo knew the reason, he would probably roll his eyes.

After all, all this is because Qingli is of vital importance to Wu Lin, so Old Man Wu is willing to spend such a huge amount of money.

Otherwise, how could he easily hand over such a precious treasure to her? ! !

"Ahem..." Qingli coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed. Then he waved his hand, and the little monster he had defeated instantly reappeared before him. "This is my compensation!"

As soon as the words fell, the little monster was extremely excited as if he had been pardoned. He quickly rushed forward and hugged Qingli's thighs tightly, choking and saying: "Brother, I thought my life was over."

Dongfang Qingmo stared at Qingli with suspicion and asked in disbelief, "How can this thing be resurrected after it died?"

Qingli shrugged helplessly and admitted frankly: "It is actually my clone."

However, as soon as he said this, he immediately realized that he seemed to have let something slip!

Doesn't this mean that he is implicitly confessing that he knows everything that happened before...

He couldn't help but feel annoyed and felt like he had slapped himself hard.

In fact, he only found out about this after he took back his clone. Otherwise, how could the little monster have allowed Old Man Wu to destroy his clone?

But when he saw their condemning eyes, he felt that even if he had a hundred mouths, he would not be able to explain himself clearly.

Zi Li was not stupid either. She stared at Qing Li with wide eyes and said with a puzzled look on her face: "Brother Qing Li..."

"Ahem, I only found out after I took back my clone." Qingli sighed helplessly, feeling that she still needed to explain. "It has eight points of my strength, so it can help you when necessary."

As he spoke, Qingli gently lifted the little monster off him, and the little monster quickly shrank and turned into a small and cute civet cat.

"Keep it." Qingli handed the civet cat to Huangfu Yi.

Huangfu Yi was not polite. He took it with a wicked smile on his face and said teasingly, "Its name is Xiaoqing?"

Qian Shuishui immediately clapped her hands and said excitedly, "Great, this is a good name!"

Xiaoqing wanted to protest, but it was useless because Huangfu Yi had already grabbed its neck tightly and it could not move. It was forced to accept this new name.

Qingli felt speechless for a moment, and a frown appeared on her head.

But he knew he was in the wrong, so he just kept his mouth shut and said nothing more.

Dongfang Qingmo was thinking about something else in his mind: Eight points of strength is already so difficult to deal with, what if Qingli adds two points?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, there was still a relationship between them.

Everyone continued on their way in silence. Dongfang Qingmo would occasionally glance at Qingli, secretly wondering what he was planning.

Huangfu Yi seemed to have noticed her gaze and always blocked her sight intentionally or unintentionally.

After finally arriving at the destination, Qingli stopped, turned to look at the group, and warned with an extremely serious expression: "It's not safe outside, you must be careful." After that, he returned the ball to Zili.

Zi Li took the ball and nodded vigorously. She held the white ball tightly in her hand.

"Then if we need your help, should we still come to the Eye of Heaven to find you?" Qian Shuishui asked.

Qingli frowned slightly and pointed at Xiaoqing and said, "Just tell it, and it will naturally convey it to me. This place is too dangerous. It's better not to come here unless it's necessary."

Qingli's hands emitted a bright white light, which was like a layer of soft gauze, tightly enveloping the four people and one cat.

As the light flickered, Qingli's figure gradually became blurred and finally disappeared completely from their sight.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared at the shore of the Eye of Heaven Lake, surrounded by sparkling water and lush woods.

Qian Shuishui took a deep breath, as if she wanted to inhale all the fresh air here into her lungs, "Hu~"

She frowned in confusion, "Why does the air outside not smell as good as in the Eye of Heaven?!"

Dongfang Qingmo smiled slightly and explained, "The Eye of Heaven is filled with powerful energy, which makes its aura unique and naturally incomparable to that of the outside world."

Qian Shuishui playfully stuck out her tongue at Dongfang Qingmo, "Lululu~ I was just saying it casually."

Then, she asked curiously, “What should we do next?”

Dongfang Qingmo pursed her lips slightly, and her gaze involuntarily turned to Huangfu Yi.

Huangfu Yi glanced at them and said, "Let's go, let's go find Erdeni first."

"Okay, let's go." Dongfang Qingmo nodded in agreement.

Zi Li walked silently behind Dongfang Qingmo, feeling increasingly heavy-hearted.

She didn't know when she would see Qingli again, nor did she know if he would really come looking for them.

Wu Lin really needs him.

Although her heart was full of doubts and worries, she still firmly believed that Qingli would not deceive her.

When they crossed the valleys and grasslands and finally returned to Erdeni's tribe, they were shocked by the scene before them.

The once bustling tribe has now turned into ruins, with corpses that have been drained of their essence scattered all over the ground, which is horrifying.
