C1093 Trouble

Elder Dong, who knew that Lin Long already had the intention to kill, quickly begged for mercy, "Lin Li, we were wrong, please let us go."

He was naturally regretting his decision back then to satisfy Dong Changyu.

"It's too late to know the mistake." With that said, Lin Long directly struck out towards Elder Dong and Dong Changyu.

Although Lin Long's attack was normal, Elder Dong and Dong Changyu both had no way to activate their demon qi, so how could they block Lin Long's attack?

After two muffled sounds, both of them died.

Jing Xuan, I hope that you're alright. Looking at the two of them on the ground, Lin Long silently thought in his heart.

Following that, Lin Long went straight to the place where Jing Xuan disappeared from, but no matter how hard he searched, Lin Long could not find him, and he could not find any trace of him either. It was as if Jing Xuan had disappeared into nothingness.

However, Lin Long did not give up.

During the time that Lin Long was searching for Jing Xuan, something happened in the Demonic Sect Disciple in the stronghold. One of the disciples mysteriously lost his soul.

In the beginning, one or two things didn't attract anyone's attention. After all, in this kind of hidden mystic realm, no matter how strange something was, it wasn't an accident.

However, something like this had happened for several days, and more and more disciples had lost their souls. This inevitably attracted the attention of the members of the Devil Sect in the stronghold.

Elder Yan and Elder Du had gathered all the elders.

"Recently, there have been seven or eight disciples who had such a situation unfolding. Can everyone tell what's going on?" The Elder Yan said as he looked at the people in front of him.

Naturally, he himself had personally inspected these disciples before, but he couldn't figure out the reason at all.

All the elders expressed their opinions, but none of them were able to say what the reason was.

At this moment, an elder suddenly said, "Could their souls have been devoured by something?"

These words immediately caused Everyone at the scene's eyes to light up, because in their eyes, these words were the most suitable.

"However, I've never heard of anything that could devour a person's soul." Someone asked doubtfully.

"That is true, but that is the most plausible reason." The Elder Yan said.

Then he said seriously, "In the future, any team that leaves the stronghold must have at least four elders that can use Black Cloud Four Devils Formation s to accompany them."

"Yes, that's it."

"That way we can guarantee the safety of the people we go out with."

"If this is the case, then there's even less of a need to worry about Lin Li secretly attacking."

"This is the only way to find the thing that can devour a person's soul."

The rest of the elders naturally agreed with him.

And just like that, after that, the teams that left the foothold would have four elders who knew Black Cloud Four Devils Formation s.

In truth, they did not want to leave the stronghold. However, if they did not leave the stronghold and search outside, they might be trapped here forever.

Thus, it was necessary to leave the stronghold and search outside.

Not long after, a group of twenty people left the stronghold. There were five elders in the group who all used Black Cloud Four Devils Formation s.

The five elders had followed the group this time not only to protect the safety of the Demonic Sect Disciple in the team, but also to find the culprit who could swallow one's soul.

Therefore, these five elders were the strongest people in the stronghold besides Elder Yan and Elder Du.2

Their group did not have a specific target, and the reason for that was because the disciples who had their souls devoured did not all meet with troubles at the same place, which meant that the thing that devoured people's souls did not have a fixed location and direction.

If there was a fixed location and direction, Elder Yan and Elder Du could directly lead people to encircle and annihilate them.

"Previously, the Elder Yan said that the thing was only an individual entity. However, I have a worry, and that is that there are a lot of things that can devour a person's soul." A certain elder whispered as he walked.

Now that they had just left the stronghold, it was unlikely that there would be any danger. Thus, the five elders didn't spread out and instead walked together.

"If that's really the case, then there's a high chance that we won't be able to deal with that thing." The other elder immediately said worriedly.

"Elder Yang, Elder Lu, to think that you two are elders, you are actually so cowardly. If these words were to spread to the ears of the disciples nearby, it would be terrible." An Elder immediately scolded in a low voice.

This elder's surname was Zhao, and he was the captain of their team.

Although his words shut Elder Yang and Elder Lu up, from their expressions, he could tell that they were still worried, and not only these two elders, the other two elders were the same.

Therefore, he immediately said, "You can rest assured. No matter how many you have, they won't be that strong. Otherwise, we would have reached our stronghold long ago."

"That should be the case." Seeing that his words were quite reasonable, the other four people immediately nodded their heads.

However, even though they agreed with this point of view, they were still worried. After all, the enemy was something they had never seen before.

Because of this, the next few people did not speak any further and instead proceeded forward in silence.

When they had left far enough, Elder Zhao directly had them stand in the front and back of the group, keeping a close watch on the situation around them.

After walking for a while, they encountered a group of evil spirits. Although this group of evil spirits had a few commanders at the third rank, they were no match for them. They had easily taken care of them.

After taking care of the group of evil spirits, after walking for a while, they discovered another group of evil spirits rushing towards them.

When they clearly saw these evil spirits, their expressions changed. This was because there were over a dozen third rank commanders inside.

However, they were only slightly surprised. After all, with so many elders present, these evil spirits were not enough to threaten them.

Immediately, the group began to fight with these evil spirits.

As time passed, Elder Zhao felt that something wasn't right. He discovered that these evil spirits were actually fighting and retreating, unlike the previous time where they were fighting on the bottom of their heads.

"Everyone, quickly retreat!" Sensing that something was wrong, Elder Zhao hurriedly shouted.

At this moment, they had already chased these evil spirits into a cave.

However, it was too late to shout like that because at the same time, there were actually two groups of evil spirits attacking from two sides.

After seeing these evil spirits, the expressions of these Devil Sect members immediately became unsightly.

This was because even though there weren't many third class commanders among the two groups that had just charged over, the sheer number of them had left Elder Zhao and the others completely flustered.

If things got out of hand, those disciples would be in danger.
