Chapter 105
Faced with the astonishment of his little sister and Guan Xiaoshun, Li Muyang had no time to explain.
He shook off their hands and said, “Turn left up ahead, then keep running! You two hurry and get out! I’ll go after Ning Wan’er and rescue her!”
The scorpion had been severely injured and couldn’t get far.
Li Muyang had to catch up quickly before it could join with other demons and call for reinforcements.
Chasing a critically wounded scorpion was a piece of cake.
Besides, the exit wasn’t far from here, and Li Yuechan had also hidden her strength.
She and Guan Xiaoshun would be able to run out soon.
After saying this, Li Muyang left his little sister and Guan Xiaoshun behind and chased after the direction in which the scorpion demon had fled.
The moment he let go of the two, a Taiyi Dividing Light Talisman slipped into Li Yuechan’s hand.
The girl was dumbfounded: “Brother…”She held up the talisman, which clearly possessed extraordinary power, and was about to say she didn’t need it.
But in the next second, Li Muyang’s figure had disappeared from her and Guan Xiaoshun’s view.
His speed was unbelievably fast.
The speed at which he vanished, leaving a trail of afterimages, stunned Li Yuechan.
“S-so fast…”
While Li Yuechan and Guan Xiaoshun were shocked by the Remnant Clouds Movement Technique, Li Muyang had already charged deeper into the tunnel.
Although he didn’t have much of a relationship with Ning Wan’er and their acquaintance was rather ordinary, he owed this little green tea a favor and had not yet repaid it.
If possible, Li Muyang didn’t want to see her die before his eyes.
He shook off Guan Xiaoshun and Li Yuechan and activated the Remnant Clouds Movement Technique.
His figure dashed and flickered through the underground tunnels, pursuing the fleeing scorpion demon.
However, the scene that met his eyes shocked Li Muyang.
Following the tunnel where the scorpion demon had fled, Li Muyang saw no survivors next to any of the flags along the way.
There were either pools of blood or corpses so mutilated they were unrecognizable, and even the bodies of demons.

In this area, close to the core of the formation, all the outer disciples had been killed!
Even the bodies of two disciples wearing Inner Sect white robes appeared in his view, indicating that the battle was even more intense than imagined.
While Li Muyang and the others were assigned to the depths of the tunnel, busy fighting ghosts, the core area of the formation outside had already changed hands, with traitorous demons and Demonic Sect disciples killing each other in a bloodbath.
Not only had two inner disciples died, but several demons had also perished in the fierce battle.
Li Muyang ran wildly and soon caught up with the three zhang long giant scorpion demon.
This scorpion demon was not weak, at least at the Golden Core stage. But it had taken a direct hit from a Taiyi Dividing Light Talisman to the face, and the sword qi had severely wounded it.
Its dark carapace was nearly cracked open, covered with blood-red fissures, and the poisonous hook on its tail had been broken off, leaving only a bare stump dragging limply behind.
Seeing Li Muyang catching up, the scorpion demon was furious.
“A mere Qi Refining Realm dares to chase me!” it roared.
“You outer disciple are seeking death!”
The severely injured scorpion demon was outwardly fierce but inwardly timid.
It never imagined that a Golden Core stage demon like itself could be so badly injured by a Qi Refining Realm Demonic Sect disciple!
The scorpion demon was filled with rage, its eyes fixed on the approaching figure of Li Muyang, waiting for the boy to get closer. But no matter what trump card the scorpion demon had, it was too late to use it.
Because the moment the scorpion demon came within range, Li Muyang directly pulled out another Taiyi Dividing Light Talisman from his chest, not wasting any words with the demon.
“Rise!”
Golden light flickered, and once again, countless golden sword qi swept across, striking the giant scorpion that was lying in wait, ready for a desperate struggle.
Caught off guard, the scorpion demon was swept by the sword qi, and its carapace could no longer hold up, shattering to pieces.
Then, without its carapace for protection, the scorpion was swept by the torrent of sword qi, turning into a shower of blood and flesh.
The scorpion demon could never have dreamed that an outer disciple from the Demon Refining Sect could produce such a powerful talisman and two at that!
Its face twisted in unwilling rage before its death.
“You bas…”
The scorpion demon’s resentful roar was drowned out by the flood of sword qi.
A white mist rose from the splattered flesh of the scorpion demon and settled inside Li Muyang.
Li Muyang’s figure flickered past, catching Ning Wan’er as she fell, ensuring she was not affected by the Sword Qi torrent.
The unconscious Ning Wan’er was half-covered in blood, lying limply in Li Muyang’s arms.
Fortunately, she wasn’t seriously injured. Most of the blood wasn’t hers. But the violent shaking had caused the unconscious girl to moan in pain.
Then her eyelashes trembled, and she woke up.
However, the moment she saw the face of the person before her, Ning Wan’er was stunned and nearly believed she was dreaming.
“…Li… Li Muyang?!”
Ning Wan’er was dumbfounded as she looked at the man holding her.
She clearly remembered being attacked and captured by a scorpion demon, which said it would use her to threaten her master.
But how had it suddenly turned into Li Muyang?
The girl was dumbfounded, but Li Muyang directly picked her up and delivered a chop to her shoulder.
Thump——
With a dull sound, the girl who had just woken up passed out again, collapsing limply onto Li Muyang.
This little green tea was different from his little sister. Li Muyang didn’t fully trust her.
In front of her, Li Muyang didn’t want to use the Remnant Clouds Movement Technique and reveal too much.
He preferred to physically knock her out.
Carrying the once again unconscious Ning Wan’er, Li Muyang sprinted back along the path they had come from.
Now familiar with the route, Li Muyang quickly reached the fork where he had parted ways with his little sister.
However, Li Yuechan and the other person who should have left the place long ago were still standing there.
Seeing this, Li Muyang felt a twinge of annoyance.
“Why aren’t you running? What are you waiting here for me for?”
Is this the time to show deep sibling affection and insist on leaving together?
Li Yuechan looked innocent as she said, “We did run, but then we came back…”
Guan Xiaoshun, pale-faced and clutching his shoulder, murmured, “Brother Li, the entrance to the cave is sealed off. We can’t get out.”
Only then did Li Muyang notice the wound on Guan Xiaoshun’s shoulder.
It wasn’t too severe, but the flesh was torn and the sight was quite shocking.
Li Muyang fell silent: “Are there many demons at the entrance?”
He still had one last Taiyi Dividing Light Talisman.
As long as the demons blocking the way weren’t too fierce, they should be able to break through.
But Li Yuechan just gave a bitter smile and said, “It’s not demons, it’s evil spirits…”
“The exit of the mine is packed with evil spirits. That area is not within the range of the Soul Refining Formation. After crawling out, the spirits have all crowded there, blocking our way out.”
“The number is too great, so we simply can’t push through.”
If a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm fell into a group of evil spirits, they would likely die instantly.
Li Muyang took the Taiyi Dividing Light Talisman handed over by his little sister and personally went to take a look at the entrance.
–The evil spirits filled his entire field of vision, almost obscuring the tunnel entrance.
Just then, a cold and indifferent female voice suddenly echoed through the windy underground tunnels.
“…All Demonic Sect disciples, come to me immediately. I will shrink the formation’s range and first kill the traitorous demons causing chaos!”
Elder Yan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again.
Her tone was still indifferent, but it was filled with a murderous intent!
As she spoke, the purple light that was everywhere in the underground tunnels suddenly intensified.
The Soul Refining Formation, which had been without its core for a long time, was finally activated again, operating at full strength!
Seeing this, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.
“Good. Elder Yan is not dead…”
In this desperate situation, this was the best news possible.
“Hurry and help Elder Yan!”
If they were too late, when the range of the Soul Refining Formation reduced, the resentful spirits underground would crawl out, and everyone still at the original place would die!
Li Muyang, carrying the unconscious Ning Wan’er, ran at the forefront.
