After infiltrating the main characters' group, I became the most beautiful woman in the world.

Yue Zijin sensed that Pei Yunlian was acting strangely, but before he could observe further, Pei Yunlian charged forward with her sword.

Yue Zijin: "!"

In the blink of an eye, the blue-clad youth's true energy surged, and his figure shot out like an arrow, his long sword being drawn with a buzzing sound.

The target was clearly the man with bloodshot eyes standing next to the man in black robes.

Yue Zi didn't have time to think about why Pei Yunlian was so impulsive today. However, no matter what, he couldn't just sit and wait to die. He hurriedly took out the small cloth bag at his waist and searched for anything that could help.

Meanwhile, Pei Yunlian was already locked in combat with the man in black robes.

The other party was clearly shocked and furious; his throat bobbed as he uttered a few hoarse words: "How dare you, you brat?"

Pei Yunlian's eyes were bloodshot, as if burning with raging fire. Every move she made was extremely fast and heavy. Her sword techniques were as fast as lightning. She chopped, flicked, stabbed, and sliced ​​with precision.

The sword, imbued with boundless hatred, slashed straight at the man's face, sending fallen leaves flying and dust scattering everywhere.

The man in black robes seemed surprised that the teenager in front of him was so fierce, and every move he made was a reckless fighting style, which gradually gave the man the upper hand.

And then there's Yue Zijin, who's always lurking in the shadows and occasionally hurling sneak attacks, which is a constant annoyance to the man in black robes.

The man in black robes clearly did not want to lose his life here, so he seized the opportunity to run away, not even caring about the slow-moving medicine puppet beside him.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Pei Yunlian immediately roared in anger, used the force to leap into the air, and ran away like a rabbit.

"Ice Face, come back quickly! Don't fall for their trap!"

Unfortunately, Pei Yunlian, who is usually steady and composed, was acting out of character today.

Yue Zi watched helplessly as the other person disappeared before her eyes, her voice hoarse from shouting, but she received no response.

He was left staring at the blood-red monster before him.

"No way..."

He watched as the monster swung its axe at him, and a wave of regret washed over him. He cried out, "I should have followed Tangxi!"

Fortunately, this thing, though it looked neither human nor ghost, had little fighting ability and was quite clumsy. Yue Zijin quickly tied it to the tree.

He carefully placed his hand on the other's nose, and the next second, the monster opened its blood-red mouth, scaring him so much that he quickly withdrew his finger.

He immediately took three steps back, exclaiming in surprise, "Holy crap, it really is dead!"

His mind was perfectly clear at that moment. The corpse he had just found in the forest was not the work of any enemy, but rather the work of the man in black who wanted to turn the dead into the inhuman monster before him.

Unfortunately, Pei Yunlian was chasing after the monster but couldn't find it, and he couldn't handle it by himself.

He either needs to go and get reinforcements, or he needs to wait here and wait for them to come to him.

After thinking it over, Yue Zijin decided to turn back and find Tang Xi. If he encountered anyone else on the way, he could tell them to leave quickly.

His thoughts were in complete disarray. The abnormal Pei Yunlian, the strange corpse, and the inexplicably appearing man in black all made his head throb with pain.

"Oh right, and Brother You too. He's gathering herbs on Xiaguang Mountain. I wonder where he is right now," he muttered to himself.

Yue Zi suddenly became worried about Su Ning, who was still on the mountaintop. Such a big thing had happened at Xiaguang Mountain, and he wondered if something had happened to her as well.

But he quickly felt relieved; the young Taoist priest was still on the mountain, so nothing serious should happen.

Little did he know that the two people he was thinking about were currently surrounded by medicine puppets.

Lin Ci shielded Su Ning behind him, his expression grave as he looked at the monsters that had surrounded them.

These people had ferocious and terrifying eyes, still holding the weapons they had used in life. Their eyes were bloodshot and red, and the skin on their bodies was a thick, dark green.

These people were clearly different from the drug puppet that Yue Zijin had encountered before. They had obviously been made a long time ago, and their cultivation techniques were profound. Even their bodies were more robust than those of ordinary people.

The wind rustled through the treetops, sending leaves scattering across the ground. A haughty voice boomed from above the two men, "Hahaha! So what if you're a Daoist from Taihang Temple? Today, I'll use your blood to pay tribute to the day of our return!"

The voice echoed through the woods, but the person never appeared.

Su Ning clenched the handkerchief in her hand, unable to help but ask, "What...what are these things...?"

"It's a medicine puppet, something from the Demonic Sect."

Lin Ci explained simply.

He looked around, becoming increasingly certain that the demonic sects, led by the Wuxiang Sect, were destined to make a comeback.

"Hold on tight to me."

Lin Ci drew the Shao Gu sword from its sheath. His internal energy cultivation was the Way of Lightness, gentle yet subtle, capable of killing without a trace. After one round, the medicine puppet was already lying on the ground, unable to get up.

Su Ning kept her eyes closed the whole time, only opening them when the other person finished, and was met with the boy's worried eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"We shouldn't stay here any longer, let's go."

Lin Ci lightly touched the ground with her toes, her clothes swaying in the wind, and even though she was carrying someone in her arms, she was not slow at all.

Right after they left, the medicine puppet that had just been knocked away had already stood up again...

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Su Ning finally felt the ground again.

Lin Ci's suspicions deepened. He only sent a medicine puppet to stop him but did not show himself. What exactly did the other party want to do?

Seeing that Lin Ci seemed a little distracted, Su Ning thought of doing something.

Wanting to offer comfort but unsure what to say, I heard the sound of flowing water nearby and thought of picking a few leaves to fetch water for a drink.

But just as she reached out, a bluish-gray hand suddenly sprang out from the bushes, and she instinctively screamed, "Ah!"

Lin Ci had already leaped to her side the moment she screamed, and Shao Gu, his cold light piercing through the troublesome hand.

Then, countless medicine puppets sprang out of the forest and surrounded them.

What does it feel like to be stared at by countless blood-red pupils that have no light in their eyes?

Su Ning felt goosebumps all over her body and quickly looked at the handsome young Taoist priest to dispel any bad luck.

Lin Ci subconsciously pulled Su Ning's hand, and the wind from her palm swept out a path of energy.

"run!"

The number of medicine puppets is large, and they are invincible, so it is obviously not a wise move to wear them down.

Su Ning was being dragged along by Lin Ci, her throat was practically on fire, but every time she turned around, that zombie-like monster was right behind her, and she felt like she wasn't running fast enough.

But the next moment, she tripped over something and rolled down the slope.

Lin Ci immediately pulled the other person into his arms, and the two of them tumbled down together, falling into a large pit.
