There were several waves of Nether Spirit Clan monks who fought with Bai Zhirui and her group, all of whom were deliberately lured away by Demon Lord Huiyue.

Although those guys are also in the Foundation Establishment Stage, their strength should not be underestimated.

At least, he is better than those younger humans.

He originally thought that he could definitely lure out the guy hiding behind the scenes, so that he could judge the strength of this person by observing his actions.

But from beginning to end, that guy never showed up in person.

There were only a few times when the situation was critical, and he used one of them to deal with several monks of the Nether Spirit Clan.

Especially in the group battle just now, he used the White Lotus magic weapon again.

Unfortunately, based on these few attacks alone, Demon Lord Huiyue really couldn't see the opponent's true strength.

After all, considering every battle along the way, the guy in hiding is definitely a master at manipulating people's hearts.

Just taking out a fake White Lotus magic weapon can make the monks of the Nether Spirit Clan fight to the death and kill each other.

Demon Lord Huiyue even felt that perhaps the battles along the way were a trap set up by the other party in order to lure him into the trap.

The more this happened, the more Demon Lord Huiyue dared not to act rashly.

Anyway, as long as he hasn't tested the other party's true strength, he will never take action.

If all these ordinary monks died, they would not be able to find out the enemy's strength.

He was even prepared to give up the treasure he had coveted for so long.

Bai Zhirui took Lin Feng and Su Yao and started playing hide-and-seek with the monks of the Mingling clan again.

Only this time, they could all clearly feel that the pressure was several times stronger than before.

Perhaps because the casualties were too great, the remaining Nether Spirit Clan monks actually began to cooperate sincerely.

Zheng Yi felt more than once that someone was using divination to calculate their location.

Several times when they changed direction, they almost ran into the monks of the Nether Spirit Clan.

This shows that the other party has already begun planning to surround them in advance.

So far, the three of them were able to dodge in advance with Zheng Yi's warning.

However, with such a huge difference in numbers, it was only a matter of time before the route was completely blocked.

"Land!" Bai Zhirui urgently reminded Lin Feng who was driving the flying sword.

The three of them have been working together for so long that their mutual understanding is beyond doubt.

Lin Feng immediately suppressed the flying sword and landed in a forest.

Su Yao had already prepared the Kunyi hairpin, and the three of them held hands and disappeared into the ground in the blink of an eye.

After dozens of breaths, three monks from the Nether Spirit Clan arrived at the place where the few people disappeared.

"Damn it! I'm one step behind them again. Are these human guys born in the year of the rabbit? They run so fast."

"If they weren't so fast at running, they would have been dead by now. Tell Lord Lanshan about this location so that he can adjust the encirclement in time."

Seeing his companion's frustrated look, the person next to him smiled and consoled him: "Don't worry, they won't be able to run away for long."

Su Yao, Bai Zhirui and Lin Feng, sneaked hundreds of miles underground.

Just as he was about to return to the ground, he heard Bai Zhirui's warning: "Don't move, there are people nearby."

Su Yao stopped quickly and dared not move.

After waiting for a whole cup of tea, Zheng Yi was sure that those guys had left, and then he notified Bai Zhirui and asked them to return to the ground.

Although when not in a hurry, the Kunyi hairpin does not consume too much mana.

But Su Yao was only a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage after all, and there was no way she could take them and hide underground for too long.

"Master, their encirclement is getting smaller and smaller. I'm afraid it won't work if we keep hiding like this?" Bai Zhirui asked worriedly.

Zheng Yi smiled bitterly, if it weren’t for that guy who wanted to pretend to be dead and escape, he would have attracted all the pursuers here.

They could have continued to use that non-existent treasure to defeat these Nether Spirit guys one by one.

The monks of the Nether Spirit Clan, who were scattered in various places, would not take it too seriously even if they knew that many people had been killed by them.

After all, the strength of Bai Zhirui and the other two is just so-so. Most people would think that the people who were killed were just because they underestimated the enemy and were careless. If it were them, they would never do that.

But when they gathered together, they found that more than half of their number had been lost.

No matter how stupid they are, they will realize that they can't continue to disperse.

There are also smart people among these dark spirits.

The opponent's method is simple, but very effective.

The person in charge of the search does not need to chase them after they find them, they just need to let everyone know their location.

Then, based on their movements, we gradually narrowed the encirclement.

No matter how many schemes Zheng Yi came up with, the other party simply turned a blind eye. You run yours and I surround mine.

Since his strength was inferior to that of the opponent, Zheng Yi was helpless.

"Things have come to this..." Being at a loss doesn't mean Zheng Yi has no idea at all.

It’s just that it’s impossible to easily get rid of all the pursuers like before.

Moreover, he must be prepared to take action at any time.

Two monks from the Nether Spirit Clan are following Lanshan's instructions to make a roundabout encirclement.

Because their distance was farther than where Bai Zhirui and the others had appeared before.

Therefore, these two cultivators from the Nether Spirit Clan could not help but become a little slack.

"These past few days have been really unlucky. With so many of us, we were fooled by a few young humans."

"Be content. We are lucky that we have not been able to catch up with them. Otherwise, we might have been killed long ago."

"That may not be the case." Another person was very unconvinced: "You have seen battlefields before. Apart from sneak attacks, most people died by killing each other."

"Those human guys are not that strong at all. If they dare to appear in front of me, I will definitely kill them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a teasing voice sounded beside the two Nether Spirit Clan monks.

"Since you are so powerful, I must ask for your advice."

"I am Lin Feng from Wuzhuang Mountain. Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist." Lin Feng was surrounded by flying swords, looking like a modest gentleman.

The faces of the two Nether Spirit Clan monks turned green.

"How do you..."

jingle!

A clear bell rang out, and the seemingly insignificant sound waves directly tore a cultivator of the Nether Spirit Clan into pieces.

The remaining person seemed to have completely forgotten what he had just said and turned around and ran away.

As soon as he made a move, he was wrapped in the white lotus petals and died on the spot.

"What a shame, I really want to compete with this guy."

Bai Zhirui glared at him unhappily: "Go first!"

Sensing the scent of battle, the Nether Spirit Clan monks chased after them.

They were fast, but Bai Zhirui and the other two were even faster. They disappeared into the ground in the blink of an eye.

Although the pursuers from the Nether Spirit Clan came quickly, by the time they arrived, Bai Zhirui and the other two had already run an unknown distance.

Some people wanted to give chase, but were stopped by a monk named Lanshan.

"This is their purpose. If we chase them, they will easily throw us off and defeat us one by one." "Still follow the original plan, but add two more people to each team."

"Everyone, be careful and alert. Once you find those human monks, don't think about fighting them, just run away and wait for reinforcements."

"Remember, as long as you are still alive, we will catch them sooner or later."

Bai Zhirui and the other two quickly noticed the other party's changes.

"Friend Bai, what should we do now?"

Bai Zhirui told Zheng Yi about his decision: "It doesn't matter, just do it the same as before."

"I think they will run away the first time they see us. If you can kill them, kill them. If there is no chance that they will run away, don't chase them and leave immediately to avoid being surrounded by them."

They found another group of Nether Spirit Clan monks and the three of them took decisive action.

Su Yao used her sonic magic to control the actions of several people. Lin Feng took decisive action and directly killed the weakest one among them.

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt ten of them.

Wait until the other party reacts and wants to do something.

Bai Zhirui gave a crisp reminder: "Let's go!"

Lin Feng and Su Yao didn't bother to fight at all, they turned around and fled without a trace.

Several monks from the Nether Spirit Clan took out their weapons.

When I looked up again, the scene in front of me was empty. Where was the shadow of the attacker?

After receiving this news, Lanshan had to increase the number of people in each team again.
Although their number is larger than Bai Zhirui and her three companions, their previous losses were also huge.

Moreover, an increase in the number of people in a team also means that fewer teams can take action, and the search range will naturally not be as large as before.

On several occasions, Bai Zhirui and the other two relied on Zheng Yi's guidance to escape from the gaps in the encirclement.

Demon Lord Huiyue, who had been observing in secret, had scolded these cultivators countless times.

If he wasn't unsure of the true strength of the person behind him, he would have wanted to kill all these trash himself.

Bai Zhirui and the other two led these Nether Spirit Clan monks by the nose for a full seven days.

Lanshan racked his brains and finally surrounded Bai Zhirui and the other three.

"Assholes, let's see where you can run this time." Lanshan slammed the table with gritted teeth.

After only seven days, Arashiyama seemed to have become a completely different person.

His originally black hair has now turned gray, his face is thin, his eye sockets are sunken, and his eyes are dull.

That appearance was very close to the thin and skinny Demon Lord Huiyue.

It can be seen that the intrigue with Zheng Yi in the past few days has consumed a lot of Lanshan's energy.

But it doesn’t matter, the hard days are over.

Now, they have trapped Bai Zhirui and the other two on a small hill.

Lanshan looked up, and although he couldn't see anything yet, he was sure that the person was here.

"Make arrangements immediately. We must not let them escape."

On the top of the mountain, Bai Zhirui and the other two looked down at these Mingling cultivators busying about.

The earth cultivators set up a formation to prevent them from sneaking underground and escaping.

In the sky, several sword cultivators were roaming back and forth, and four lines of magical restrictions filled the sky, looking dazzling and colorful, fascinating.

But behind this beautiful scenery was a murderous intent directed at them.

"It seems that we can't escape this time." Lin Feng smiled carefreely, took out a wine gourd from somewhere, and took a big gulp.

The intoxicating aroma of wine wafts in the air.

"I'm sorry, my two fellow Taoists. It's my fault that I led you to this desperate situation." Bai Zhirui felt a little guilty.

According to Zheng Yi's original plan, they were to kill most of the ordinary monks first.

If he could fight the Demon Lord Huiyue alone afterwards, he might still have a chance to escape.

Unfortunately, as man proposes, God disposes, an unexpected event happened in the end.

Even with Zheng Yi's wisdom, there is no such a huge power gap.

I could only take them and hide in a panic.

Although they killed many Nether Spirit Clan monks, they were still surrounded by them and could not escape.

"Brother Bai, what are you talking about? If you hadn't saved us, we would have died long ago, and we wouldn't be alive today."

Su Yao nodded vigorously: "Sister Bai, you don't have to blame yourself. We don't mean to blame you at all."

Bai Zhirui is not a pretentious person. She made things clear just to have a clear conscience.

"It seems that they also need time to rest. I don't think they will attack us in a short time."

"Let's not waste time and recover as much strength as possible."

"The battle will begin soon..." After a pause, Bai Zhirui sighed helplessly: "May the two Taoist friends wish you good luck."

At this point, they no longer have any room for maneuver and can only fight to the death.

In a head-on battle, what you rely on is strength, not those conspiracies and calculations.

Lin Feng waved his hand, drank the wine in the gourd, chose a comfortable place and began to practice.

Bai Zhirui was just trying to find a place when Su Yao slowly walked up to her.

"Sister Bai, we are facing a powerful enemy. I'm afraid we will all die in battle. I have kept some words in my heart for a long time. I don't want to die with regrets."

At this time, Su Yao looked a little embarrassed because of the continuous fighting in the past few days, but she was obviously familiar with the dress.

Her pale face, with a faint blush, looks delicate and fragile, making people want to protect her.

"Uh..." Bai Zhirui subconsciously glanced in the direction of Lin Feng: "At this time, shouldn't you be with fellow Daoist Lin Feng?"

Su Yao, who was about to speak, was stunned when she heard this: "Why?"

Bai Zhirui blinked with a smile: "Friend Su, what else do you have to hide at this point?"

"Don't worry, I will seal my ears later. No matter what you say, I will never eavesdrop."

Su Yao was stunned at first, then smiled silently. Her smile was very bright, like a broken rose with thorns, thrilling.

For a moment, Bai Zhirui was a little dazed.

"Sister Bai, you misunderstood. The relationship between Senior Brother Lin Feng and I is not what you imagined."

"It's just that our two sects are on good terms, so I'm more familiar with Senior Brother Lin Feng."

"Ah?" Bai Zhirui was extremely surprised by this answer.

She and Lin Feng might be Taoist companions, this is the master's speculation.

Why would a master who had planned everything make such a big mistake?
and many more……

Bai Zhirui seemed to be suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning, and all the memories from the time she met the two people to the present quickly flashed back in her mind.

If the two of them were not a pair of Taoist companions, things would seem to be heading in a very bad direction.

"Master...are you there? Master, help me!" Bai Zhirui desperately called out to Zheng Yi in her spiritual consciousness.

Unfortunately, there was no response from my master.

Seeing her reaction, Su Yao smiled again: "Sister Bai, it seems you understand."

"You are right. I like you. Can you please become my Taoist partner?" (End of this chapter)
