Suddenly, the red lightning around them transformed into several soldiers, each holding a sword, a knife, a hammer and other weapons. They all rushed towards Yong Shanling.
Yong Shanling summoned her wooden sword and charged at the soldiers. Although the soldiers were fast, their hand - movements were extremely slow. Yong Shanling waved her wooden sword, aiming to cut off a soldier's hand.
However, the soldier seemed transparent, and the wooden sword passed right through its body. Yong Shanling was a bit surprised. She dodged backward but still got hit.
Soon, large red streaks appeared on Yong Shanling's hand, making it look as if it had been seared, which was extremely uncomfortable. Yong Shanling bit her lip and grasped the injured part of her hand. In a short while, the large wound disappeared.
The soldiers, seeing Yong Shanling dodging, charged at her again. At this moment, Mu Yu seemed to be controlled by something. He was suspended in the air, with his head down and his limbs outstretched. It seemed that Mu Yu was controlling the soldiers.
Yong Shanling was a bit anxious. It was quite difficult to defeat these intangible soldiers.
"Transform the intangible into the sword of nothingness, the sword of spiritual water."
In an instant, the calm water surface rippled. Then the waves grew larger and larger, as if they were about to swallow everyone. The soldiers who were originally standing on the water began to sway.
They started to fall one by one. A spiritual sword slowly took shape in the water. Its blade was made of water. It flew back and forth in the air a few times and then returned to Yong Shanling's hand.
She held the sword in front of her chest with her other hand behind her back, looking at the soldiers who had fallen and then stood up again.
The soldiers charged at her one after another. When the first soldier reached out his hand, Yong Shanling swung her sword. The soldier's hand immediately fell to the ground and disappeared.
Mu Yu in the air also seemed to be injured. He shouted a few times. There were more red blood streaks in his originally blood - red eyes. He seemed to be in great pain. But in an instant, Mu Yu lowered his head again.
Several soldiers attacked one after another, but they all fell one by one. Mu Yu seemed unable to withstand the torture and fainted. Yong Shanling also had more red marks on her skin due to several contacts.
Yong Shanling slid down the wall slowly. Although there were many wounds on her skin, her spiritual power had also been disrupted. She gasped for air, supported herself against the wall and managed to stand up. Then she walked over and picked up Mu Yijie's coat.
She took off her shoes and held them in her hand, then walked towards Mu Yu. The moment she touched Mu Yu, rolling thick smoke rose around the two of them, instantly surrounding them.
"What on earth do you still want?"
Exhausted, she felt even more tired looking at the scene around her.
"She's the one who made a deal. You'll never be able to take her away..."
"I don't care what she's done. As long as she obediently completes the wedding, you can do whatever you want."
The voice thought her idea was ridiculous and sneered.
"Her body is already mine. You can't take her away."
Yong Shanling gradually regained her strength. The wounds on her body began to fade, and she slowly concentrated on dealing with the smoke around her.
"What if I insist on taking her away?"
"You're such an arrogant little girl. It's useless even if you think about it."
"Who on earth are you? Or do you know Nan Min?"
"That kid Nan Min isn't even qualified in my eyes. As for who I am, you may never know in your lifetime."
"Seems like you know Nan Min?"
"I heard he's going to advance to the twelfth rank. A person of that level wants to advance to the twelfth rank. They must be blind."
"Do you know Gu Li?"
Yong Shanling thought that since Nan Min knew Gu Li, it was not surprising that this person did too. As soon as she asked, the air around them seemed to freeze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
"I don't know. What do you want?"
"Nothing. Just hand Mu Yu over to me first."
"You can also make a deal with me. You can exchange everything you have."
Yong Shanling thought for a while, then smiled and helped Mu Yu up. "Sorry, I don't want anything. I'm taking Mu Yu away. If you want to get her back, come and get her."
After saying that, Yong Shanling disappeared from the spot.
In an instant, the two of them were back at the door of that room. At this time, Nan Min was standing beside them.
"You're really something, actually attracting the Misty Smoke."
Yong Shanling gave him a sideways glance and sneered, "That guy even looks down on you. He said it's blind for you to advance to the twelfth rank."
It seemed that only after leaving the room did Mu Yu's complexion and body return to normal. Just as she was about to leave, the smoke immediately surged up.
"Qing Sui, Qing Yuan."
As soon as Yong Shanling's words fell, the two of them appeared in front of her. Qing Sui was holding a cup of wine, while Qing Yuan almost fell to the ground.
"What's this? It's so black and disgusting." Qing Yuan looked at the smoke filling the air.
She turned around and saw Nan Min standing behind her. She patted his shoulder, as if they were friends.
"Are you here too, the soul - cultivator?"
Nan Min slapped her hand away and said disgustedly, "I'm not familiar with you."
"A snake also dares to think it's useful? You're so naive, little girl."
Qing Sui threw the wine cup into the smoke, but there was no sound. "This is your space, right?"
"Exactly."
"Fancy."
At Qing Sui's order, vines began to grow continuously on the ground. Perhaps due to the breathing of the plants, most of the black smoke had disappeared, and the surrounding scene gradually appeared.
As the territory expanded, the group walked forward. At this time, the Misty Smoke spoke.
"Nan Min, what do you mean?"
"What are you talking about?"
Nan Min shrugged and looked at the Misty Smoke.
"Are you going to betray the sect master and defect to these people?"
"Misty Smoke, if you like to daydream, do it by yourself. Don't drag me into it."
Yong Shanling stopped walking when she heard their conversation.
"Qing Yuan, take Mu Yu out first. I still have something to do."
After saying that, she threw Mu Yu to Qing Yuan and walked back to Nan Min's side.
She looked back and saw that Qing Yuan and the others had left, then slowly spoke.
"If I'm not wrong, you know Yan Ling, right?"
"Who? Oh, that useless and dead loser."
Saying this, Nan Min smiled.
"I think she's more powerful than you." Yong Shanling frowned and looked at Nan Min.
"What's there to talk about with two frogs in a well."
The Misty Smoke spoke disdainfully.
"So, your appearance this time was also arranged by the sect master?"
Yong Shanling immediately got back to the point. Although she wasn't sure if they would tell the truth, she still wanted to see what scheme that man had.
"I came here to arrest Nan Min. It's just that that girl sold her memories and body to me."
"Arrest me?"
"Hehe, the advancement conference is about to start. Most people have arrived a few days ago, but you're still out there. If the sect master finds out and gets angry, you won't have a good time."
"So, what did Mu Yu ask for?"
"She just asked for a more perfect body."
Hearing this, Yong Shanling's eyes darkened.
