Wei Shu’s fingers tightened around the mother pearl, his eyes flashing with cold light!
The dim light spot representing Chen Ye on the pearl seemed to flicker again under his gaze, coinciding perfectly with the direction of that white fox!
"Is it an illusion? Or do I want to kill him too badly..."
Wei Shu murmured to himself, and upon a closer look, the mother pearl was evidently blank.
Ever since he learned that Chen Ye was still alive, he secretly suspected that the trap in the Wailing Valley was likely the work of Chen Ye!
Absolutely cannot let this boy survive.
Otherwise, he will definitely become a major problem in the future!
"Chen Ye!"
Recalling how he lost an arm because of him, these two words almost squeezed out from between Wei Shu’s teeth.
"Good, very good! Searching around aimlessly!"
"Chirp!"
The little white fox on the stone was startled by Wei Shu’s murderous gaze, letting out a sharp cry before tucking its tail and fleeing into the depths of the Wood Domain!
The red scarf fluttering behind its snowy fur, luring Wei Shu’s gaze.
"Guardian Wei, don’t act impulsively. The sudden appearance of this fox is strange. What if it’s a trap?"
Taoist Friend Ji quickly voiced a caution seeing Wei Shu’s fury.
"Trap? It’s hard to imagine a cultivator trapped by spirit-locking nails capable of laying any trap! At most, he’s using the demon beasts and demon plants within the Life Domain to deal with me!"
Wei Shu said coldly, indeed it was likely a trap.
But what could a cultivator without cultivation possibly set up? What trap could he set?
A while ago, manipulating the Blood Reed was probably Chen Ye’s limit.
As long as I remain vigilant, coupled with the many cultivators behind me, why should I fear a Chen Ye who is no different from a mortal?
"Spirit-locking nails? Indeed... When we kill Chen Ye, I hope Guardian Wei will return the Flying Light Sword belonging to my Ji Family!"
Taoist Friend Ji’s worries disappeared upon hearing this.
As long as they encounter Chen Ye, they can directly kill him using the spirit-locking nails!
Wei Shu said sternly, "Flying Light belongs to the Ji Family. If we slay this beast, I will report to the sect and return the stolen goods to its rightful owner. But for now, I ask Taoist Friend Ji to lead some people to capture that fox alive for this guardian! It must be with Chen Ye!"
"As you command!" Taoist Friend Ji sneered, feeling heatedly impassioned, pointing to three trusted late-period Qi cultivation cultivators.
Four figures instantly broke away from the group, transforming into escape lights, aggressively pursuing the direction where the little white fox vanished.
Wei Shu, accompanied by a large group, followed closely behind, sneering.
Thus, there would be no mistake.
No matter what traps Chen Ye has set, Taoist Friend Ji would pave the way first.
I shall act accordingly when the time comes.
...
"Vile beast, halt!" Taoist Friend Ji shouted.
Unable to establish Foundation, with all his cultivation in the ninth-layer Qi cultivation, he was a skilled member of the Ji Family’s sideline, incredibly fast in movement!
With just a few breaths, he had closed the gap with the desperate little fox.
A glimmer of viciousness flashed in his eyes, and he was already holding a spirit talisman ready to capture the beast at any moment!
The fleeing little white fox suddenly ducked low and with a swift "shoo", darted into a stone tablet area.
"Trying to hide?"
Taoist Friend Ji sneered and without hesitation, followed through!
As soon as he stepped in, the surrounding light dimmed abruptly!
"Not good!"
His heart surged with alarm, glancing upwards to see the tall forest of stone tablets, now completely sealed by a giant net woven from countless dark green vines!
"This is... Demon-eating Vine?!" exclaimed one of the Ji Family disciples.
"Panic not!" Taoist Friend Ji experienced in countless battles, remained calm amidst surprise, shouting fiercely, "Demon-eating Vine is but a Qi cultivation demon plant, break through it!"
But before the disciple could respond, a crisp cry was heard.
Taoist Friend Ji turned abruptly, only to see the fox, a supposed prey, leisurely perched atop the vines, playfully fiddling with the scarf.
"You..."
Taoist Friend Ji paused, evidently it’s a trap!
But this Chen Ye must be at his wit’s end.
The average person fears ninth-layer Qi cultivation demon-eating vine, but with three trusted allies, how could he fear it?
"Little beast, be ready for me to skin you!"
Taoist Friend Ji scoffed dismissively, waving his hand,
"What are you standing there for? You all are good hands at Qi cultivation eighth-layer, surely the demon-eating vine should pose no trouble?"
Moments passed without response from behind.
Taoist Friend Ji’s heart skipped a beat, he turned abruptly.
Behind him, empty.
Where were the figures of his three trusted allies?
"Drip... drip..."
A few drops of fresh blood fell onto his face as Taoist Friend Ji slowly raised his head.
Above, on the giant net woven from dark green vines, dangled three lifeless corpses, suspended by countless fine vines.
Silently, without even a cry, his three eighth-layer Qi cultivation allies had perished!
"This... what’s happening! Isn’t this the demon-eating vine..."
Taoist Friend Ji’s lips trembled uncontrollably.
He instinctively stepped back, looking towards the white fox still leisurely perched on the vines, gazing at him like watching the dead.
And, from behind the white fox, emerged a familiar figure slowly.
"Taoist friend from the Ji Family."
Chen Ye smiled lightly, stroking the fox’s fur,
"When I killed Ji Yunting, I warned your Ji Family, the slayer shall be slain..."
Taoist Friend Ji’s mind shattered, shouting fiercely yet weakly, "Chen Ye! Daring to collude with demonic beings, harming fellow sect members?! You are courting death! If the sect learns of this, they won’t spare you!"
This is not a demon-eating vine!
