"You'll soon find out if we dare," Yan Xiao said. Then he turned to Du Yuanbai and added, "Dean, they've all been poisoned. How long they can hold on depends entirely on themselves. Let them fend for themselves in this formation."
"Fine," Du Yuanbai replied.
"No, you can't do this!" The people from the Four Great Families finally panicked.
They could tell that Yan Xiao wasn't lying at all.
They had bright futures ahead of them and didn't want to die here.
However, no one paid them any heed.
Du Yuanbai and the clan elders left.
They were all injured during the battle against the Central Continent people.
Du Yuanbai was already slightly injured when he fought against the puppets from the Five Divine Realms.
This battle against the Four Great Families only made his injuries worse.
That night after returning, Du Yuanbai vomited blood due to his severe injuries.
The clan elders were in no better condition.
The people from the Eastern Family, the auction house, and several other families were also injured to varying degrees.
They all felt that while the external enemies were not yet completely eliminated, the people on their own continent were already fighting among themselves.
Moreover, they took Du Yuanbai and Yan Xiao's conversation to heart.
Those who were captured today didn't return, and more might come. They had to hurry up and recover from their injuries and practice cultivation.
...
Meanwhile, Feng Yuqin and the others had already dealt with a group of puppets.
After they entered the passage, the demons just happened to send in another group of puppets.
Mo Xuanye had been standing beside Feng Yuqin to protect her.
Feng Yi and the others also surrounded them, preventing any puppet from getting close.
The passage was long and wide. As Feng Yuqin and the others advanced, they dealt with the puppets they encountered.
As the puppets were eliminated, Feng Yuqin's Buddhist root became even brighter.
It was a dazzling golden light.
As her Buddhist root changed, her abilities also grew stronger, and the time it took to exorcise demons shortened.
"Qin'er, there are demons ahead," Mo Xuanye said suddenly after seeing her exorcise another group of puppets.
"Are we at the end?" Feng Yuqin asked in confusion.
"Probably," Mo Xuanye replied. "If I'm not mistaken, there are countless more demons at the exit than the ones we've encountered before."
"Can you sense them?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"I can sense the auras of many demons," Mo Xuanye said.
Feng Yuqin frowned. "There are too many demons. Can you handle them?"
Although she wanted to solve the problem once and for all, she cared more about his safety.
Mo Xuanye looked at Feng Yuqin, a doting smile curving his lips. His voice was deep and charming. "I can."
Seeing this, Feng Yi and the others thought silently to themselves. Should they also find a wife?
Otherwise, they couldn't stand being constantly fed lovey-dovey stuff by their master and mistress.
Hearing that he could handle it, Feng Yuqin felt relieved. "Then let's continue forward."
Not long after they walked, Feng Yuqin saw some sandstones flashing golden light not far away. As soon as she walked over, Xiao Jin's surprised voice rang out. "Master, quickly collect these golden sandstones."
"What are they for?" Feng Yuqin asked as she picked up the golden sandstones on the ground.
Xiao Jin excitedly emerged from the space. "This is the golden sand used for talismans."
Then, without bothering to explain further, he quickly swept all the golden sandstones on the ground into the space.
Feng Yuqin thought he would return to the space after picking them up. But then she saw Xiao Jin running forward. She asked in confusion, "Are there more ahead?"
"Even more than here," Xiao Jin said excitedly.
Feng Yi and the others didn't expect to find golden sandstones in this passage.
Moreover, they knew that the second young master liked talismans.
The eldest young master liked formations and was taught by the master. Miss Xiaoling liked alchemy and was taught by the mistress.
So far, only the second young master hadn't met a suitable master. Now that they had the legendary golden sandstones, it was a consolation for the second young master.
With this thought in mind, Feng Yi and the other four also started helping to collect the golden sandstones.
Soon, Xiao Jin led Feng Yi and the other four running ahead, while Feng Yuqin and Mo Xuanye walked behind, observing the situation in the passage.
"This passage was expanded later. Otherwise, the demons would have taken these golden sandstones," Feng Yuqin analyzed.
"Qin'er is really smart," Mo Xuanye praised. "The demons used a secret technique to expand it and then kept sending in puppets. That's why they didn't notice these golden sandstones."
"This is a lucky break for us," Feng Yuqin said happily.
After all, her idea was to give these to Xiaobao as a gift.
When they went to the Xuanyu Realm in the future, she would definitely find a good master to teach Xiaobao talisman techniques.
However, Feng Yuqin never expected that her second son was no ordinary child.
When she returned again, Xiaobao had already mastered the basics of talisman techniques.
Moreover, he had studied it on his own using the secret manual he accidentally obtained from the old man Bai of the Tianji Sect in the Xuanyu Realm.
When Mo Xuanye sensed that they were not far from the demons, he sent a voice transmission to Feng Yi and the others. "That's enough. If we go any further, we'll run into the demons."
Xiao Jin had cultivated the spatial domain, so he also keenly sensed that the demons were just ahead.
He took all the golden sandstones into the space. "Master, if Xiaobao knows we got him so many golden sandstones, he'll be really happy."
Feng Yuqin smiled. "It's rare that you still remember what he needs."
"He's your son. I could never forget him, even if I forget everyone else," Xiao Jin said with a grin.
Hearing this cheesy talk, Xiaoying silently thought that Xiao Jin was such a schemer.
When Feng Yuqin and Mo Xuanye reached the exit, there was a sea of darkness outside.
Seeing them, Feng Yi immediately stepped forward. "Master, Mistress, all those people are puppets."
Feng Tong said, "Master, the demons in the Five Divine Realms are really crazy. So many people have practiced the forbidden technique."
"And they've all succeeded. These people are all standard puppets now," Feng Xiu said with a solemn expression.
"However, I noticed that there are still some people who haven't practiced the forbidden technique," Feng Mo said. "I guess these people are the ones who have colluded with the demons."
Soon, the people outside also noticed Feng Yuqin and the others.
At first, they thought there were a lot of them.
But when they saw only a few of them, they immediately didn't take Feng Yuqin and the others seriously.
"Are you from the Wild Dragon Continent?" an old man asked.
"Are you the people from the Five Divine Realms who want to invade our Wild Dragon Continent?" Feng Yuqin asked calmly.
The old man snorted and said arrogantly, "We detected that there's a place called Wild City on the Wild Dragon Continent with relatively abundant spiritual energy. So if you're smart, just let us pass obediently. Otherwise, this day next year will be your death anniversary."
