After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 286 Demon Seed Upgrade
Once they were sure everyone inside was fast asleep, they exchanged a hand gesture.

Lin Yan felt another chill run down her spine upon seeing this. It seemed they weren't after the treasure, but rather intended to implant a demonic seed into those people!

Without her intervention, the entire team was infected with the demonic seed. Once they left the secret realm, finding those infected with the demonic seed would be even more difficult.

Thinking this, she decided to make a commotion to interrupt the Mo family disciples.

Looking around, she threw two explosive talismans towards the mountain.

A huge explosion rang out, and the accumulated snow collapsed, surging towards the squad stationed at a lower elevation.

Upon seeing this, the Mohist disciples ceased their actions and cautiously scanned the area with their divine sense.

"What's going on?" the captain asked coldly.

"I don't know, maybe it was a monster that made the noise?" another Mo family disciple replied.

"Should we wake them up? If it's a monster, it might be a pack of beasts making such a commotion."

The captain gave a cruel smile.

"Hmph! They're nothing but a bunch of useless trash. Since they can't be used as containers, they're of no use! Let's leave them to fend for themselves!"

The Mohist disciples withdrew, extinguished the campfire, and destroyed the defensive formation.

They're afraid people won't die!

Lin Yan used spirit stones to transform into several snow butterflies to continue the pursuit, while she pretended to be surprised and entered their encampment.

Their deep sleep clearly indicated they had been drugged with some kind of sleeping potion.

She threw snow directly onto one of the people's heads, the coldness instantly waking them up.

Upon seeing the approaching person, the man immediately assumed a fighting stance in fear.

Lin Yan was the first to ask, "What's going on with you guys? There were no people on night watch during your rest period, and you didn't set up any barriers or formations."

She looked speechless. "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were all dead. If I hadn't come by and taken a look, you probably would have been eaten by monsters!"

His tone was full of disdain for their laxity.

Such an attitude makes one truly believe that she was merely passing by and only then discovered their lax defenses.

While remaining vigilant, the man's mind raced. He didn't act rashly but quickly stepped out of the tent. Seeing that the campfire and magic circle were gone, his heart tightened.

He lifted the curtain of the tent next door and saw his teammates lying inside.

The tent offers some protection, but its insulation is not particularly effective; the temperature inside is quite low, and you can clearly feel the chill.

His teammates remained completely unaware and were still asleep, which was clearly wrong.

Upon seeing that the tents were no longer in place where the Mohist disciples had lived, he could understand many things, even if the sudden appearance of the person was suspicious!

She observed the man's expression and spoke up at the opportune moment: "You guys are so careless. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were on vacation! You're sleeping like the dead, and you haven't even set up any defensive barriers."

He looked embarrassed after hearing this, realizing that it was true that they were not vigilant enough! If they had been vigilant, they wouldn't have trusted the other group so easily and almost lost their lives here.

"Thank you for waking me up in time, fellow Daoist. If it weren't for you, our fate would have been uncertain."

"No need!" Lin Yan said calmly. "I just happened to be passing by and found it strange, so I came to take a look. I never expected to unintentionally save you."

She paused at this point, looking as if she had something to say but didn't know whether she should.

"Fellow Daoist, please speak freely. You saved us, so you are our great benefactor."

"Alright, I'm not trying to lecture you, but the secret realm is dangerous, so you can't let your guard down. You were lucky to run into me this time, but you won't be so fortunate next time. Not everyone is so kind; if you ran into someone trying to kill you and steal your treasure, you probably wouldn't even know how you died." After saying that, she didn't ask for any reward and left!
Knowing they were tricked by Mohist disciples, will they let it go?

Even if you don't dare to really offend the Mohists, can't you at least create a fake account to post?

After Lin Yan left, she immediately followed Xue Die's senses.

They failed this time, and who knows if they'll target other teams next. I need to finish them off before they find their targets, and while I'm at it, capture a couple more to find out the other locations where the demon seeds are hidden.

Seeing them walk from the other side of the canyon, she immediately had an idea!

Lin Yan summoned the Snow Frost Eagle and the Crimson Enchantress.

First, they boarded the Snow Frost Eagle and flew to another exit, setting up array plates and formations. Then, they had the Red Enchantress make quite a commotion behind them, driving them to the other exit.

After setting up the formation, she took out vine seeds and scattered them on the ground. Her spiritual energy spurred them to grow wildly, binding them as they passed by.

They fought and fled all the way, thinking that the exit was ahead, but it was actually an even greater abyss.

Without the support of spiritual energy, the vines wither and disappear quickly, leaving no trace.

The new array given by the master could easily trap all ten injured people at the same time.

She led the two cubs into the array and began the hunt.

Before she could make a move, the black fox ran out and headed towards the squad leader.

They were moving too fast for her to keep up.

Lin Yan quickly flew up to a high place, waved her hand to conjure a huge mirror, and watched the scene of the fox battle.

The battle was a complete one-sided crushing defeat.

Before the black fox arrived, the cultivator was still very aggressive, exuding a powerful black aura and trying to draw his teammates to his side through contamination.

When the fox appeared, he was instinctively afraid and even wanted to run away.

However, he was pounced on by the fox. Its claws hooked at his heart, drawing out a thick cloud of black energy.

It swiftly retaliated, the black mist directly draining the cultivator's body, solidifying it, and amplifying its power, intending to fight to the death.

The black fox watched with a disdainful air as it advanced and gained power, then swept its tail across, tightly binding it and bringing it into its mouth.

It chewed and chewed, then nodded in satisfaction.

This is the best food it has eaten since it woke up. Everything else is unpalatable.

The child's breakthrough to a mid-level monster, his desperate attempt to fight to the death, only enhanced the flavor for the Black Fox.

While Lin Yan was still marveling at its power, the black fox had already moved on to its next target and devoured the monster in the same way.

However, even if the other deformed creatures drained the cultivator's body, they still failed to break through to the intermediate-level demonic creature level, and their taste was much worse than the first one.

It chewed and chewed, then complained that the taste wasn't quite right.

In a short while, it ate them all, leaving only four. Lin Yan quickly contacted the fox through the contract, asking it to leave two alive.

He also needed to interrogate them to find out the other locations where the demon seeds were kept, as well as the specific locations where the Mo family kept the demons.

The ten members of the team were all parasitized by the demonic seed, yet they behaved no differently from ordinary people. This indicates that the demonic seed not only occupied their bodies but also their minds, perfectly inheriting their memories and intelligence.

Those in Mucheng who were infected with the demonic seed exhibited stiff behavior, even behaving like zombies at night.

The demonic seed parasitizing the bodies of the Mohist disciples has evolved to this extent!
