“Who’s there?” Chai Liang frowned and asked harshly.
Everyone also raised their guard and looked at the person with unfriendly eyes.
They had just been tricked, so they were wary of anyone who suddenly appeared.
The Corpse Sect disciples who had just been robbed of their prey were incomparably angry. Seeing someone quietly arrive at rhe top of the mountain, the leader, Yu Youquan, immediately snorted coldly. He threw out a bone nail and shot it at the rough man like an arrow.
His Cursed Bone Nail was a superior-grade enchanted armament. With his cultivation level, ordinary ninth-stage Bright Aperture Stage cultivators wouldn’t dare to take it head-on.
However, the burly man didn’t dodge at all. He only sneered slightly. Only when the Cursed Bone Nail approached did he suddenly open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of dark red fog.
The Cursed Bone Nail and the dark red fog suddenly made contact. Unexpectedly, there was a crisp sound of metal colliding. Then, the dark red fog suddenly spun and annihilated the Cursed Bone Nail in the blink of an eye!
Seeing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Spiritual essence!
That person was a cultivator master!
Yu Youquan was also taken aback. When he saw the burly man looking at him, he felt his scalp go numb, and he groaned inwardly.
Why was he so muddle headed? He didn’t even know the strength and cultivation of the person and attacked rashly!
Offending a cultivator master was no joke!
Just as he was feeling bewildered, he saw a cold smile appear on the burly man’s face. His cold gaze slowly swept across everyone.
“Corpse Sect, Blood Sea Sect, and Flying Cloud Sect. Heh, three of the most famous large sects of the East Sea Path have gathered here at once. How lively!”
Yu Youquan suppressed his shock and pretended to be calm. “May 1 know your name?”
The burly man glanced at him and said coldly, “You’re not important enough to know that!”
Yu Youquan’s face immediately flushed red. He was furious in his heart, but before he could speak, he saw the rough-looking man raise his hand. A streak of dark light immediately shot over like a bolt of lightning. Before he could react, it suddenly entered his chest and disappeared.
Yu Youquan’s expression changed drastically as he cried out involuntarily.
“What did you do to me?”
The burly man ignored him. He raised his arm repeatedly, and in an instant, more than ten streaks of dim light shot out one after another, attacking the others.
Everyone’s expressions changed as they dodged in panic.
However, no matter how they dodged, they couldn’t escape the pursuit of the light.
Neither martial techniques nor Dharma treasures could withstand the dim light.
Before long, everyone was hit, and the dim light buried into their chests.
Just as they were bewildered, they heard an incomparably miserable scream.
T hey turned around and saw Yu Youquan lying limp on the ground. His entire body was curled into a ball like a cooked shrimp. Blue veins protruded from his face, neck, and arms. The twisting and trembling as if something was squirming under his skin.
“You’ve all been hit by my Spirit Erosion Insect!”
T he rough man’s cold voice sounded as if it came from hell, making one’s heart palpitate.
“With just a thought from me, the insect in your body will begin to act up and eat the spirit meridians. Every time it acts up, not only will you have to endure the pain, but you’ll also lose a spirit meridian. Even if you try to gather it again, you won t be able to recover!”
As soon as he said this, everyone’s faces turned ashen.
Losing a spirit meridian and never being able to recover was equivalent to reducing the upper limit of their cultivation level.
Compared to the pain, this was undoubtedly more shocking.
After all, they had come to the Xuandu Meeting to obtain the Mystic Essence Liquid to condense spirit meridians. How could they stand the fact that the upper limit of the spirit meridians was reduced?
If rhe insect acred up a few more times, wouldn’t they be unable to become cultivator masters for the rest of their lives?
As for whether the rough man was lying to them, rhe possibility was very low. After all, after Yu Youquan recovered, they would know if his spirit meridians had really decreased.
When he came back to his senses, Chai Liang hurriedly said, “Senior, we re not on the same side as the three people from the Corpse Sect!”
He meant, “It was the Corpse Sect that offended you. If you want to punish someone, punish the three of them. It had nothing to do with us.”
However, the burly man glanced at him and sneered. “Humans and demons are irreconcilable. Even if I kill all of you, I ll feel righteous!”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. When they realized what that meant, their faces turned even paler.
It turned out that the person in front of him was actually a demon cultivator!
Humans and demons had always disliked each other. If they fell into the hands of a demon cultivator, they knew things wouldn’t end well.
T hinking of this, everyone felt their heart sink.
At this moment, the burly man suddenly pointed ar Chai Liang and said coldly, “You, tell me what happened here.”
Chai Liang looked at Yu Youquan, who was already unconscious. He swallowed and started to tell rhe story obediently.
Hearing this, the rough man frowned.
He had followed the aura left behind by Miao You all the way here. He had thought that Miao You had injured these people, but according to Chai Liang’s description, that wasn’t rhe case.
The cultivator who snatched the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit was a young man and not a woman. Moreover, his cultivation had yet to reach the Spirit Nurturing Stage.
“But there are indeed traces of Miao You’s aura in this area. Could that person be in cahoots with her?”
T he burly man’s eyes flickered.
Even though he had chased Miao You all the way, he didn’t find any accomplices.
However, that man might be the subordinate she had just subdued these few days.
After all, he wasn’t the only one who had the means to intimidate and subdue human cultivators..
