After traveling to the world of cultivation, I rely on the game system to survive

Chapter 178 Speculation

The refining room was quiet. Xia Chen moved gently to the front of Xie Changan and Pei Nianyi.

"Uncle Xie, I think there's something wrong with Senior Brother Yun." He explained everything about Yun Yaoqing's abnormality in detail.

Yun Yaoqing's condition made him feel that something was wrong.

In extraordinary times, any abnormality cannot be ignored.

So, Xia Chen took advantage of Yun Yaoqing meditating and quickly found Xie Changan.

Xie Changan's face remained expressionless, his eyes casually sweeping towards Yun Yaoqing who was meditating in the corner.

Yun Yaoqing seemed unaware of Xie Changan's inquiries. He still had his eyes closed, his lips pale and his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Xie Changan frowned slightly: "Did the Evil Detection Mirror react?"

Xia Chen shook his head: "I took a quick look, and there's nothing unusual." He paused and continued, "But ever since we entered the Dusk Forest, Senior Brother Yun's words and actions have been a little strange..."

After hearing Xia Chen's words, Xie Changan withdrew his gaze from Yun Yaoqing.

Nothing unusual?

Xie Changan did not let down his guard. Just because there was nothing abnormal with the evil-detecting mirror did not mean there was no problem.

What if it is a special disguise that the evil-detecting mirror cannot see through?

However, Yun Yaoqing has not done anything dangerous now, and he will not accuse anyone wrongly.

But now they are in danger, and any mistake may lead to their destruction. Yun Yaoqing's weirdness must be treated with caution.

We can't just shout and kill because of a little abnormality, but we can't just abandon it. If it really is an evil demon from outside the world, and it stabs you in the back at the critical moment, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The only solution now is to keep the person under our watch and go with the flow.

"Pay more attention to him and don't act rashly." Xia Chen felt that Yun Yaoqing was increasingly strange, and he became extremely alert.

The night passed quickly, the sky turned pale, and the mysterious demons wandering outside the refining room had quietly retreated.

A brief silence returned between heaven and earth.

Pei Nianyi woke up leaning on Xie Changan's chest, and the first thing he felt when he woke up was his heartbeat.

"Your heartbeat is so fast." Pei Nian said consciously.

"You lean on me, of course my heart beats fast." Xie Changan's voice was inexplicably low.

"It seems like we're a little too close." Pei Nianyi's tone was a little awkward.

She suddenly realized that she was still leaning on Xie Changan's chest. She quietly moved back and quickly looked at the other people.

Well, that’s good. Everyone was resting and no one noticed that she slept against Xie Changan all night.

The other people gradually woke up.

"You can go directly to the academy from the back mountain of the Weapon Refining Peak. There are also defensive formations there to protect the disciples with lower cultivation levels. It is a relatively safe place."

"It's okay if the formation fails. Let's continue walking towards the main hall."

Today, they are going to go deeper into Qingliu Sect, and Xie Changan explained the general route.

"We are just getting deeper into the center of Qingliu Sect. The road ahead will be more difficult to walk on. Everyone should be more careful."

After Xie Changan finished speaking, several people stood up.

Pei Nian opened the door and exclaimed, "It's foggy!"

The mountains were filled with thick white fog, blurring the entire sky and earth, and even the sounds seemed to be stuck together.

Even though he was prepared, Pei Nian frowned when he saw this scene.

The fog came strangely, undoubtedly turning people blind and deaf. Even if they knew the route, they had no idea what dangers lay in the white fog.

Xie Changan didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He calmly ordered Su Huaining to take out a few ropes and tie the two ends of the ropes to the wrists of the two people.

This way, they are tied together like beads, preventing everyone from getting lost when their vision is obscured by the white fog.

Xie Changan's eyes swept over Yun Yaoqing lightly, and he handed the other end of the immortal rope tied around his wrist to Yun Yaoqing: "Junior Brother Yun, follow me, and then Yi Yi, Chu Huaiyan, Su Huaining and Xia Chen."

"Okay, thank you, uncle master." Yun Yaoqing took the immortal rope and lowered his head, a faint light flashed in his eyes.

It is better to keep uncertain factors under your own eyes.

After everyone had tied up the ropes, Xie Changan said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Xie Changan took the lead and stepped out of the weapon refining room first.

The thick milky white fog was like flowing slurry, which seemed to stick to people.

Stepping into the thick fog, my vision was completely blocked. The scenery three feet away became dizzy and weird. Slender shadows flashed by, and everything was distorted in the blur.

Xie Changan held the ancient-style lamp, which could penetrate the darkness and naturally illuminate the white fog. The orange light was like a small sun, becoming the only light in the thick fog.

The strange white fog not only makes things invisible, but is also filled with murderous intent.

Pei Nianyi, who was holding the rope, soon encountered a sneak attack from Xuan Mo.

The girl's slender waist swayed slightly, and the black ink sword was unsheathed and stabbed quickly, accompanied by a sharp gust of wind and an astonishing momentum.

With a few hissing sounds, Xuan Mo was stabbed by several swords and fell to the ground dead.

"Xiaoyi, are you being attacked?" Su Huaining noticed the fluctuation of Pei Nianyi's spiritual energy and asked loudly.

"Well, there was a mysterious demon attacking us. How are you guys?" Pei Nian put his sword back into its sheath and became concerned about his friends' situation.

"I am fine."

"Nothing happened."

Among the group, only Pei Nianyi was attacked; the others were all fine.

"Everyone, be alert. If you can't handle it, pull the rope." Xie Changan reminded.

As they walked, the group killed the evil spirits that came their way, the magical beasts in the sky that were infected by evil spirits, the mysterious demons that were possessed by other people on the ground, and even the dead trees on both sides of the road that were eroded by evil spirits would suddenly stretch out slender branches and trip people.

Various attacks emerge one after another and are difficult to defend against.

"This is... too disgusting." Xia Chen was annoyed by these sudden attacks.

"There are too many evil demons here. How can the evil energy continue to flow? Isn't the passageway destroyed?"

Yun Yaoqing pondered for a moment and said, "It is said that after the king of the evil demons from outside the realm, the demon tyrant owl, was sealed, his body is in the Qingliu Sect."

"However, this is just a record in unofficial history, and its authenticity cannot be verified."

"The demon's body is invulnerable to weapons and cannot be destroyed. This has been proven."

"Could it be that the endless evil spirit in the Dusk Forest and those endless low-level evil demons are all related to the corpse of the Heavenly Demon?" Su Huaining took a breath.

"This is too scary. The devil has been sealed for thousands of years, but his body can still wreak havoc on the world of cultivation." Xia Chen also felt a chill down his spine.

A guess that made several people shudder.
