Emperor Qiankun

Next, Li Qingyuan and others led a large group of more than 50 people to chase in the direction where Yang Haochen and others fled.

They had only one thought in their minds, which was to snatch the ginseng fruit back first.

Along the way, they met disciples from Haoyue Pavilion and Lingyin Pavilion again. These disciples joined in one after another, strengthening the team.

There are now more than eighty people in this team.

In addition, they also encountered the descendants of the Tianwu Dynasty, and they all killed them without mercy.

As for the people from the Tianjian Sect, I haven’t met any of them yet.

This made Li Qingyuan feel puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. Perhaps it was because the number of people in the Tianjian Sect was too small, only fifty.

The crowd chased him relentlessly for three days.

On this day, everyone stopped and looked forward.

Ahead is a vast and dense forest with lush trees and intertwined branches and leaves like a green barrier.

But this forest is filled with a gloomy atmosphere, as if shrouded in haze.

The eerie atmosphere gave off a chill in their hearts the moment they approached.

This is the Soul-Eating Forest.

When Li Qingyuan heard the name, he felt it sounded familiar.

After a while, he remembered that the poison he had been poisoned with before was the Soul-Eating Poison.

Could this poison be related to this forest?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, Chen Lingyu took out a space ring from his arms and said, "Everyone come over to me and receive a drop of Spirit Source Purifying Dew. If you are bitten by a Soul Devouring Beast in the Soul Devouring Forest, you can take it immediately to detoxify it. But remember, each person only has one drop. I hope you don't need to use it as much as possible."

Everyone came to Chen Lingyu to receive the Lingyuan Purifying Dew.

Chen Lingyu gave five drops to Gu Yuyan, but there was no need to distribute any to Li Qingyuan.

After the division was completed, Chen Lingyu waved his hand and everyone resolutely entered the Soul-Devouring Forest.

Not long after they entered the Soul-Devouring Forest, they encountered a fourth-order early Soul-Devouring Beast.

This soul-devouring beast is as big as a small hill, covered with hard black scales that gleam faintly in the sun. It has thick limbs, claws like scimitars that can split rocks, and a tail like a giant python with great destructive power.

The head is ferocious, the blood-red eyes emit a strange light that seems to be able to see through the soul, the huge mouth is full of sharp teeth that can bite any object into pieces, and the curved horns on the head flash with mysterious light as if they have great power.

It exudes a chilling evil aura, and is often surrounded by black mist. It contains soul-devouring power that can corrode the soul and cause pain.

“Howl!”

The moment the soul-devouring beast saw everyone, it immediately let out a hoarse and terrifying roar.

"Oh no! This Soul Devourer is very intelligent and is calling for its companions."

Chen Lingyu's expression changed, and he was about to draw his sword and rush towards this early fourth-order soul-devouring beast.

However, there was a figure that was faster than him!

It was Li Qingyuan.

After the soul-devouring beast let out a sharp and shrill cry, Li Qingyuan knew that something was wrong, so he took decisive action.

"Pfft!"

In the blink of an eye, the sword pierced through the Soul-Devouring Beast's ferocious head like lightning.

But at this moment, something strange happened.

Suddenly, a beam of blood shot out from the blood-red eyes of the soul-devouring beast, heading straight for Li Qingyuan's eyes.

At the same time, its huge body wanted to run backwards, not even caring about its own head.

"Humph!"

Li Qingyuan snorted coldly, and the power of time and space was instantly unleashed.

Suddenly, the strange power of the Soul-Devouring Beast became extremely slow before it even got close to Li Qingyuan, as if it was bound by invisible shackles.

Then, Li Qingyuan casually swung his sword, and a flash of sword light flashed across, easily cutting off the blood light.

Then, the sword in his hand flew out and shot towards the headless soul-devouring beast like a flash of lightning.

“Howl!”

In the blink of an eye, the sword accurately pierced the Soul-Devouring Beast's abdomen, and the Soul-Devouring Beast immediately let out a shrill scream.

A huge hole appeared in the Soul-Devouring Beast's abdomen, it was a horrific sight.

Li Qingyuan attacked again, slapping out with one palm. The powerful palm force roared out and directly smashed the soul-devouring beast into pieces.

"Wow, Brother Li San is so awesome!"

Gu Yuyan exclaimed in a sweet voice, admiration gleaming in her beautiful eyes.

Chen Lingyu, who was standing next to her, was also very happy, but at this moment, he inadvertently noticed Gu Yuyan's expression, and an inexplicable jealousy surged in his heart.

At this time, Li Qingyuan returned to the group and said solemnly, "We must leave this place as soon as possible. The Soul Devourer just now was probably just a small guard. It won't be long before more powerful Soul Devourers arrive."

Chen Lingyu and Gu Yuyan looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

They immediately led the others to follow Li Qingyuan and left the place as quickly as possible, hoping to avoid the greater crisis that was about to come.

Everyone sped along, and a tense atmosphere permeated the team.

Li Qingyuan led the way while keeping a vigilant eye on the movements around him.

Not long after walking, they came to a relatively open area. Li Qingyuan stopped and thought about his next move.

Gu Yuyan looked at Li Qingyuan's solemn expression, and a trace of worry welled up in her heart. She asked softly, "Brother Li San, where should we go next?"

Li Qingyuan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "The Soul Devouring Forest is full of dangers. We can't act blindly. We need to observe the surrounding terrain first and then make plans."

Chen Lingyu also nodded. He looked around and suddenly found some strange marks on the ground not far away.

He walked over quickly to check, and his expression became more serious.

"These traces look like they were left by a fierce battle between the Soul Devouring Beast and others, and there are quite a few of them. They are most likely Yang Haochen and his group."

Chen Lingyu said.

When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened.

At this moment, a low roar was heard faintly in the distance, as if countless soul-devouring beasts were approaching.

Li Qingyuan's expression suddenly changed, and he said decisively: "Let's go! We can't stay here."

Everyone immediately turned around and continued running towards a seemingly safer direction.

However, they hadn't run far when they saw a group of dark shadows appearing in front of them, approaching them rapidly.

"Oh no, it's a group of soul-devouring beasts!"

Gu Yuyan exclaimed in shock.

Li Qingyuan's eyes flashed, and he quickly drew out his sword, ready to face the upcoming fierce battle.

Chen Lingyu also held the sword tightly, standing beside Li Qingyuan, ready to fight at any time.

The soul-devouring beasts were getting closer and closer. Their ferocious appearance and terrifying aura made people shudder.

Li Qingyuan took a deep breath and said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic. Hold your ground and work together to resist the enemy."

Everyone responded, huddled together tightly, and prepared to fight a life-and-death battle with the soul-devouring beasts.
