Practicing Qi to snatch a Yuanying for marriage? Do you think this is a female channel?

The shouts from afar were extremely urgent, as if some terrifying being was chasing them from behind, causing them to panic and run for their lives.

Upon seeing Jun Mengqing, he was overjoyed and ran straight towards her.

The cultivators from the Cangxuan Holy Land frowned slightly. That person did not seem to be a disciple of the Cangxuan Holy Land, but they were calling her the Holy Maiden.
"They're from the Jietian Sect. I didn't expect them to be here too."

Some people recognized those people's backgrounds, and Jun Mengqing had recognized them long ago, as they carried the aura of the Jietian Sect's identity tokens.

She didn't have a good impression of these Jie Tian Sect disciples simply because of Lin Chen.

When the uproar was at its peak, these disciples of the Jietian Sect got involved quite a bit.

Regardless of whether they had malicious intent, whether they were deliberately putting pressure on Lin Chen to curry favor, or whether they were just unintentionally joining in the fun, Jun Mengqing was very unhappy.

However, given the current situation, as the Holy Maiden of the Jietian Sect, she would not sit idly by.

"Stop!"

The cultivators from the Cangxuan Holy Land stepped forward and blocked their way. They had heard about Jun Mengqing's affairs before, and some of their disciples had even followed Cui Xuan'er and witnessed the great battle between Gu Shenge and Lin Chen.

At that time, some disciples of the Jietian Sect made outrageous remarks and showed little respect for Jun Mengqing. Now, they have taken the side to protect Jun Mengqing.

The cultivators from the Jietian Sect rushed forward but were blocked in front of them. They were panting heavily, and their faces still showed signs of tension.

The group was also watching the area behind them; they hadn't seen anything terrifying on their way here.

Jun Mengqing frowned slightly, looking indifferently at the six disciples of the Jietian Sect. They all looked nervous, which was quite strange.

"What's wrong with you all? Why are you so agitated?"

At the forefront, a female disciple, her face still showing fear, cried out in alarm, "Holy Maiden, they are evil spirits! Our magical attacks have no effect on them. We are being harassed, and three of our junior brothers have been eaten!"

Jun Mengqing's expression darkened slightly: "What do you mean? The magic is useless?"

The female disciple trembled, as if recalling something terrifying.

"None of our techniques or laws have any effect on those demons. They lurk in the shadows and will appear and devour us whenever they are hungry!"

The cultivators of Cangxuan Holy Land scoffed at this, coldly snorting, "Heh, when did you disciples of Jietian Sect become so cowardly? We've seen plenty of monsters in this secret realm, and their numbers are beyond your imagination!"

After recovering, the disciples of the Jietian Sect also roared in anger: "You people from the Cangxuan Holy Land are just accompanying our Holy Maiden, what right do you have to speak to us from the Jietian Sect like that!"

The two sides immediately started arguing, creating a noisy and jarring atmosphere. Jun Mengqing's pretty face showed a hint of displeasure: "Shut up! After all, you are disciples of the Jietian Sect, so you can follow along. But none of you can argue anymore."

With Jun Mengqing mediating, everyone quickly shut their mouths and stopped talking.

"Where are the demons you're talking about?" Jun Mengqing asked about the whereabouts of those demons.

Since they say those demons have been following them, then let's just take action and kill them. The female disciple of the Jietian Sect bowed and replied, "Holy Maiden, those demons might be right beside us."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gazes instantly sharpened as they scanned their surroundings, trying to find the demon and kill it.

However, after searching everywhere, there wasn't even a trace of unusual spiritual energy fluctuations, which was truly infuriating.

The female disciple said bitterly, "They can't see them. They seem to be able to hide in the shadows using something, and they only come out to eat people when they are hungry. Our companion was eaten silently while we were resting. By the time we realized it, most of him had already been eaten!"

The terror on the faces of these disciples of the Intercepting Heaven Sect intensified. As cultivators, they were used to seeing life and death, but the sight of their companions being cruelly torn apart and devoured piece by piece before their very eyes still made their scalps tingle and their spines turn cold.

Without being able to detect those monsters, there's certainly no way to deal with them. For now, perhaps the only option is to wait for those monsters to show themselves.

We'll see what happens then.

They set off again, and because of the warnings from the disciples of the Jietian Sect, they were very cautious. No one strayed too far from each other and stayed together.

They quickened their pace, searching everywhere, hoping to reunite with Gu Shenge as soon as possible. Although no one said it aloud, they all felt that being by Gu Shenge's side was the safest place.

The group traveled in a large and imposing manner, but the further they went, the more bewildered they became. It was as if they had entered a foggy region, with thick clouds everywhere that even obscured their vision.

Jun Mengqing immediately tried to lead her people away, but when she turned around, she found that the road she had come from had been covered by thick clouds and fog, and everything was a hazy, chaotic mess, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

The group groped around in the clouds for an unknown amount of time. Under the heavy fog, their bodies gradually showed signs of fatigue, and their condition became extremely poor.

This isn't just an isolated case; it's affecting everyone.

Jun Mengqing took out the Mysterious Night Purification Pearl and created an area with a diameter of 500 meters around her, isolating the group from the clouds and mist outside.

"Something's not right here. Everyone, please rest and recover quickly."

No one dared to be negligent. They immediately sat down cross-legged to recover their bodies. The hidden energy in the clouds also began to show signs. On the energy light screen that had been stretched open, there were dark and cold purple energies that were moving stealthily, appearing and disappearing.

These forces are extremely weak and cannot be detected without careful observation. Moreover, their influence is also weak. Only by staying in such an environment for a long time might one be able to notice anything amiss.

The group quickly noticed something amiss, and they all felt a chill and began to take pills.

However, after they took the pills, their weakness not only did not improve, but worsened, and most of their spiritual energy was consumed.

"Don't take the pills! Don't take the pills!" someone shouted.

Those who took the pills sensed that their spiritual energy was being rapidly depleted. It was as if some terrifying entity lurked within them, devouring their spiritual energy continuously.

"There seems to be something inside me, something like insects? Insects are constantly devouring my spiritual power!"

Jun Mengqing grabbed the shouting female disciple and used her divine sense to probe her body. She quickly understood what the insects she had mentioned were all about: those dark purple, initially weak worms, after entering the body, had merged into the bloodline and begun to turn against their owner.
