"That person looks somewhat familiar!" Xu Qingfeng's attention was instead focused on the one fighting against the Ink Qilin. It was no surprise; anyone capable of battling a divine beast like the Ink Qilin was unlikely to be an ordinary person.
However, Xu Qingfeng's feeling of familiarity with that person surprised Ling Mo Xie. The individual was currently engaged in combat with the Ink Qilin, and as their techniques circulated, dark energy surged around them, clearly indicating they were using Evil Path techniques. How could Xu Qingfeng recognize someone from the Evil Path?
Thinking this, Ling Mo Xie glanced at Luo Yan beside him and asked, "Brother Luo, do you know that person? He seems to be one of your Evil Cultivators."
Luo Yan hesitated for a moment, looking at Xu Qingfeng, who seemed to have suddenly realized something. He then spoke up, "I know him; he is the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect."
Upon hearing Luo Yan's response, Ling Mo Xie was taken aback. This was the man who had been cuckolded by his own father; how did he end up here?
"We should leave. The beast left behind by the Heavenly Demon Sect is actually the Ink Qilin. This is not good news for us. From the looks of it, the Ink Qilin is handling the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect with ease. We should take advantage of the fact that the Ink Qilin is occupied with him and leave quickly!"
Luo Yan's eyes flickered as he smirked slightly, watching the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect struggle under the Ink Qilin's might. He smiled at Ling Mo Xie and the others and said.
For some reason, Ling Mo Xie felt that Luo Yan at this moment was different from the troubled Luo Yan before; it seemed he had let go of something and was relieved.
However, the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect was a top figure in today's cultivation world and had already noticed Ling Mo Xie and his companions. Seeing Luo Yan actually advising them to leave while he himself was being held back by the Ink Qilin made him anxious. He directly threatened Luo Yan, "Luo Yan, do you really want to watch the Heavenly Demon Sect disappear from the cultivation world?"
Luo Yan paused for a moment, clearly worried, but then turned to look at the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect and smiled as he said, "Do you have that capability right now? You should be more concerned about your own life!"
"What’s going on?" Ling Mo Xie listened to the conversation between Luo Yan and the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect in confusion. Did it mean that the leader had threatened Luo Yan somehow?
Thinking this over, Ling Mo Xie suddenly became puzzled again. How did the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect end up here? Hadn't Luo Yan said that to reach the Demon Tomb, one could only use the transparent staircase in his possession? Flying up was impossible. It was only then that Ling Mo Xie noticed that after they had walked through the transparent staircase earlier, everyone was too tired to notice that Luo Yan hadn't put it away.
The transparent staircase could be considered the first key to entering the Demon Tomb; it should be something very valuable to Luo Yan. There shouldn't have been any chance of forgetting to retrieve it. So, did Luo Yan... leave a way out for the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect?
With this thought in mind, Ling Mo Xie looked at Luo Yan suspiciously and said, "Brother Luo, did the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect threaten you into doing something?"
Luo Yan glanced at Ling Mo Xie with a hint of guilt in his eyes and was about to speak when he heard a cold snort from over there—the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect said, "Luo Yan, you need to think this through. The Ink Qilin is a being from a higher realm; I indeed cannot defeat it, but escaping... I have already set things in motion. As long as I do not return, within three months, the Evil Ridge Sect will attack the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
Upon hearing this from the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect, Luo Yan froze for a moment before his expression turned grim. He apologized to Ling Mo Xie and then looked at the leader of the Evil Ridge Sect and said, "Speak up; what else do you want me to do? The appearance of this Ink Qilin is unexpected; I can't help with that."
At this moment, if Ling Mo Xie still didn't understand what was happening, he would truly be foolish. They might have been tricked into coming here by Luo Yan; he understood all of this place's traps and formations while they were completely in the dark. If Luo Yan intended to harm them...
Seeing this situation unfold even made Xiao Chi—who usually was lively—stunned as she angrily pointed at Luo Yan and exclaimed, "Brother Luo! You... you are actually in cahoots with those from the Evil Ridge Sect!"
Luo Yan glanced at Hong Chi and then at Ling Mo Xie, offering no defense, only whispering an apology before turning to the Evil Ridge Sect Leader, waiting for his orders.
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie had calmed down; he knew he shouldn't blame Luo Yan. If anyone was to be blamed, it should be the Gate Master of the Evil Ridge Sect. If it weren't for him, how could Luo Yan have been threatened to the point of needing to frame them?
Seeing Luo Yan's attitude, the Evil Ridge Sect Leader nodded with satisfaction. He looked at the disinterested Ink Qilin playing by itself. Fortunately, the Ink Qilin didn't seem to take things seriously; otherwise, he might have truly met his end under its claws.
The Evil Ridge Sect Leader's lips moved, but Ling Mo Xie and the others heard no sound. However, Luo Yan seemed to have heard something, his eyes flickering with hesitation. But when the Evil Ridge Sect Leader smiled and attempted to threaten him with the Heavenly Demon Sect, Luo Yan nodded before he could say anything.
The Evil Ridge Sect Leader smiled with satisfaction, his gaze towards Ling Mo Xie filled with a sharp intensity. That gaze was like a knife, making Ling Mo Xie feel extremely uncomfortable. "What are you looking at? My cheap old man got a green hat; that's your own incompetence, not my fault."
Ling Mo Xie thought angrily, but more than that, he was contemplating what exactly the Evil Ridge Sect Leader had said to Luo Yan and what kind of danger they would face next.
A former friend had turned into an enemy; how should one deal with that?
It was impossible not to retaliate; he wasn't noble enough to sacrifice himself for righteousness.
However, the Demon Tomb now seemed closely related to Luo Yan. His understanding of the Demon Tomb was far greater than that of Ling Mo Xie and his companions. Now that he was being threatened by the Evil Ridge Sect Leader, all of this would turn into potential danger!
At that moment, a surge of Black Qi emanated from the Evil Ridge Sect Leader. Ling Mo Xie thought he was about to unleash a powerful attack. To his surprise, the Black Qi flashed and the Evil Ridge Sect Leader disappeared in an instant. The speed was so fast that even Ink Qilin paused for a moment before reacting. As for Ling Mo Xie and his companions, they only saw a flash of Black Qi before the Evil Ridge Sect Leader vanished.
“Brother Luo... Luo Yan has also disappeared!” Hong Chi exclaimed, pointing at where Luo Yan had been standing.
“This... The Gate Master of the Evil Ridge Sect shouldn't have let me go! Why did both of them leave?” Ling Mo Xie said in confusion.
Then, Ling Mo Xie turned around and saw Ink Qilin yawning lazily. His expression changed as he grabbed Hong Chi and Xu Qingfeng and ran towards the stairs while saying, “Hurry! They probably want to trap us here; there’s an Ink Qilin in this place!”
However, it was already too late. Just as Ling Mo Xie's words fell, a loud noise echoed through the air. Following the direction of the sound, he saw that the Main Gate they had walked through earlier was now firmly shut.
Grinding his teeth, Ling Mo Xie turned around and prepared to escape through the window with Hong Chi and Xu Qingfeng.
But who would have thought that at this moment, the noise did not stop? With a series of rumbling sounds, railings began to rise around the pavilion's walls like a birdcage, completely enclosing them inside. The area where the windows were located was no exception.
The railings appeared to be wooden; however, when Ling Mo Xie tried to attack them with his Spiritual Energy, he discovered that within this birdcage-like prison, his Spiritual Energy was actually restrained and could not be unleashed at all. In this place, they were no different from ordinary people who had never practiced cultivation.
Even Hong Chi was imprisoned; although the power within him was not Spiritual Energy, he could not unleash it. As for Xu Qingfeng, a conventional Cultivator, there was even less hope.
Ling Mo Xie looked dejected. The System was currently upgrading, otherwise, if the System were available, perhaps those Spells could still be used as skills. But now, he could only mobilize Spiritual Energy like an ordinary Cultivator. However, in this place, he could not mobilize Spiritual Energy, so naturally, he could not cast any skills.
"What do we do now? Are we just going to wait for that Ink Qilin to come over and eat us? Right now, we don't even have the ability to resist; we can only helplessly watch ourselves being devoured like ordinary people," Xu Qingfeng said despondently.
Ling Mo Xie fell silent, not speaking for a long time. It seemed that apart from resigning to fate, there was no other way out.
The Ink Qilin was originally a creature of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and it might understand this Demon Tomb better than Luo Yan. This cage-like structure might not be able to restrain its Spiritual Energy. Moreover, even if the Ink Qilin did not have Spiritual Energy, its size was something that Ling Mo Xie and the others could not compare with. A single swipe of its claw could turn them into pulp.
"Whoosh~" At that moment, a strange sound came from above, causing the three of them to exchange puzzled glances.
They had previously reacted and intended to escape, so they had already run down a flight of stairs and could no longer see the Ink Qilin on top of the pavilion. The sound was coming from the top of the pavilion, which naturally left them feeling confused.
"Should we go up and take a look?" After a long silence, Ling Mo Xie, seeing that there were no other movements apart from the sound, tentatively asked Hong Chi and Xu Qingfeng.
"Let's go up and check it out; after all, we're going to die anyway. It’s better to satisfy my curiosity before I go!" After hesitating for a moment upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Xu Qingfeng finally replied.
"Let’s go! There might still be a glimmer of hope up there; this is a pavilion with no walls on all four sides!" Hong Chi appeared more decisive and stepped toward the ladder while speaking to Ling Mo Xie and Xu Qingfeng.
