Murong Ling'er pulled out a bottle of healing medicine from her bosom, handed it to Chifeng, and said, "Captain Qi, apply the medicine to the injured officers first, and hurry to treat their wounds."

Chifeng gratefully took the medicine bottle and hurried to treat the injured officials.

Murong Ling'er helped clean up the scene and checked if there were any important items left behind.

After a short rest, everyone prepared to leave this troubled place.

Murong Ling'er said with a serious expression, "We can't stay here for long. Let's leave quickly."

Everyone nodded and was about to leave when that strange feeling came again. Murong Ling'er's heart tightened and she thought to herself that something was wrong.

"Everyone be careful!" Murong Ling'er shouted loudly.

Everyone instantly entered a state of high alert, scanning the surroundings vigilantly. The wind blew quietly, and the leaves rustled, which added a bit of eerie atmosphere.

Chu Lingfeng frowned and said, "Could there be more enemies?"

Murong Ling'er pursed her lips and did not answer, but just focused more on feeling the movements around her.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps coming from the distance. The sound was very light, but it was particularly clear in the silent forest.

Murong Ling'er whispered, "Don't act rashly. Let's see what happens first."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the arrival of the unknown. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and everyone's heart was in their throat.

Finally, a figure slowly walked out of the woods.

The person who came was a mysterious man in a black robe. His face could not be seen clearly, and he exuded an unfathomable aura.

Murong Ling'er stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you?"

The mysterious man let out a deep laugh: "You have gotten into trouble that you shouldn't have gotten into. This is just the beginning."

Murong Linger's eyes turned cold: "Stop playing tricks here, show your true colors if you have the guts."

The mysterious man ignored him and disappeared in an instant.

Murong Ling'er was shocked and was about to chase after him, but she found that a fog suddenly surged around her, making it difficult to tell the direction.

"Everyone, don't walk around, gather together!" Murong Ling'er shouted.

Everyone clung to each other in the fog, their hearts filled with fear.

Murong Ling'er tried to use her internal energy to dispel the fog, but found that the fog was extremely stubborn and difficult to dispel.

Just when everyone was at a loss in the fog, Chu Yinyin suddenly screamed in horror: "Ah! What is this? I'm so scared!" Her voice was filled with tears and sounded particularly shrill in the fog.

"Yinyin, don't be afraid, mother is here!" Although Wang was also afraid, she still hugged Chu Yinyin and Chuchu tightly to comfort them.

Huo Shuixian took the opportunity to complain: "Sister, aren't you very powerful? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be trapped here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Jianjie scolded her harshly, "Narcissus, stop talking nonsense! Ling'er has been working hard to protect everyone. You are not allowed to talk nonsense like this!"

Huo Shuixian muttered aggrievedly and said nothing more.

Murong Ling'er had no time to pay attention to their quarrel at the moment. She was concentrating on thinking about how to break the fog. After all, she couldn't use talismans to break it in public, as that would be too conspicuous.

The stalemate lasted for a while. Murong Ling'er didn't want to wait any longer. She quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. A light blue light emanated from her hands, trying to penetrate the fog. However, the fog only fluctuated slightly and returned to its original state.

Seeing this, Chu Lingfeng said, "Miss Murong, this mist seems to be strange. It can resist your spells."

Murong Linger frowned: "This is not an ordinary fog, there must be someone controlling it behind the scenes."

At this moment, the mysterious man's voice came from the fog: "Haha, don't waste your energy, just wait and die!"

Murong Linger snorted coldly: "As long as I'm here, you're dreaming!"

She calmed down and carefully felt the energy fluctuations in the fog, trying to find its weakness.

After some investigation, Murong Ling'er discovered that the power of the fog came from several specific directions.

"Chu Lingfeng, follow me to these directions and work together. Maybe we can break the control of this fog." Murong Linger said.

Chu Lingfeng nodded in response, and the two of them quickly rushed towards the direction Murong Ling'er pointed.

When they arrived at the designated location, they simultaneously exerted their powerful internal strength. For a moment, light shone everywhere and the fog began to churn violently.

Seeing this, hope ignited in everyone's hearts.

After some effort, the fog finally dissipated and everyone's vision gradually became clear.

The fog finally dissipated gradually. Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief, but before they had time to rejoice, the mysterious man in black robe appeared again.

His face was gloomy, his eyes filled with deep resentment, and he shouted angrily: "Humph! You are quite capable, actually able to break my illusion, but this is just the beginning!"

After saying that, he danced his hands and muttered something. A black aura surged from his body, and the atmosphere around him instantly became oppressive.

When the prisoners saw this scene, they cried out in horror: "Oh my! What shall we do?"

"Help! This is none of our business!"

"What kind of evil magic is this! Are we going to die here?!"

They were already frightened, and now they were even more panicked. Some of the prisoners' legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground, while others ran around like headless flies.

Murong Ling'er looked solemn and said to Chu Lingfeng, "Chu Lingfeng, protect Chen'er and everyone else. This mysterious man is probably sent by the Wu Clan. He can't be dealt with by force. I will deal with him."

Chu Lingfeng nodded solemnly and stood in front of everyone to protect them.

Murong Ling'er formed seals with her hands, and a light blue light emanated from her body, counteracting the black aura of the mysterious man in black robe.

The mysterious man sneered, "Little girl, your abilities are not good enough! Today I will show you how powerful I really am!"

As his words fell, the black aura transformed into countless poisonous snakes, spitting out their tongues, hissing, and swooping down towards Murong Ling'er.

Murong Ling'er was not in a hurry. She shouted softly, and the light instantly turned into a solid shield, blocking the poisonous snake out.

But those poisonous snakes were extremely ferocious, constantly hitting the shield. Every impact caused ripples on the shield, as if they were about to break through the defense line in the next second.

Seeing this, the mysterious man in black robe increased his strength again, and more black aura poured out continuously. These auras quickly condensed and turned into hideous images of evil spirits, with bared fangs and claws, making creepy howls, and rushed towards Murong Ling'er madly.

Murong Ling'er showed no sign of nervousness. She kept changing the seals with her hands, trying her best to resist the attacks of the evil spirits.

At this time, Chu Lingfeng was protecting everyone and watching the battle between Murong Ling'er and the mysterious man with a nervous expression.

Murong Chen's face was tense, his hands tightly grasped the corners of his clothes, and he didn't dare to say a word for fear that his mother would be distracted. His eyes were full of worry for his mother.

Huo Jianjie also looked at Murong Ling'er with great concern, fearing that she would be hurt.

Huo Shuixian was extremely conflicted. On the one hand, she hoped that the mysterious man in black robe could kill Murong Ling'er, but on the other hand, she was worried that the mysterious man in black robe would kill everyone here after killing Murong Ling'er.

At this moment, her heart was in great torment, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes showed entanglement and struggle. She kept weighing the options in her mind, but she could not make a firm decision.
