TEMBMBIWB Chapter 12
by VolareChapter 12
Sui Chunsheng’s words startled the group from Kunlun Void.
Yong Lan hurriedly said, “How is that possible? This secret realm doesn’t kill people!”
But the next second, he was proven wrong.
A streak of bloody light shot up from the ground in the distance, and then, a bright star in the sky went out.
The stars in the sky during the day were naturally the life soul stars of these disciples. If one was extinguished, then the life soul would naturally perish.
Now everyone was a little restless.
Sui Chunsheng stared at the north, his voice a little cold, “There’s a big demon over there, and it’s carrying demonic energy. It shouldn’t be underestimated.”
Yong Lan: “How do you know…”
Sui Chunsheng: “Since I was a child, my master has taught me the art of sensing energy. This demonized beast has a unique stench.”
“I’ll go ahead to scout the way. You guys stay here.”
Song Weimian hurriedly said to the Kunlun Void disciples, “You wait here, set up a Wind Listening Cover, and I’ll come back if there’s any change. If the situation is urgent, release the surrender signal. Don’t be greedy.”
The Kunlun Void disciples said in unison, “Yes, Senior Brother.”
Yong Lan hurried to follow, “Senior Brother! I’ll go with you.”
Song Weimian: “At a time like this, don’t cause trouble.”
Yong Lan: “No matter what, I’m already an Immortal Lord. Don’t underestimate me, okay… Besides, Master told me to take good care of the Little Immortal of the Hibiscus.”
Song Weimian nodded, “Stay close to me.”
Sui Chunsheng walked in front, already deep into the northern forest.
The stench he sensed grew stronger and stronger, and even the two behind him, who had not deeply explored the art of sensing energy, could clearly perceive it.
This place was already surrounded by demonic energy. This great demon was poisonous, and its flesh and blood were stinky.
Sui Chunsheng’s body tensed up, and he clenched the Tansue Sword in his hand.
His gaze fell on the bushes and leaves on the side. His fingers gently brushed over them, and a sticky feeling, with a strong bloody aura, left a smear of blood on his fingertips.
“Blood.” His voice was very soft.
Song Weimian looked around, “They’ve had an accident.”
“I’ll use the bell to communicate with the elders.”
The bell rang three times, and a voice came.
Kunlun Ancestor Fuchen’s voice was a little lazy, “Weimian, where are you now?”
Song Weimian: “Deep in the north, we’ve encountered a demonized great demon. The people from Bai Feng Sect and Heavenly Medicine Sect are all missing…”
A cold voice came from the other side, “Is Hibiscus there?”
“Yes, the Little Immortal of the Hibiscus is fine.”
Tan Zhui: “You over there, the Floating Life Mirror can no longer see you. Don’t go any deeper. The heavenly soldiers are already investigating over there.”
Suddenly, a black gas hit the bell, and the next second, it made a sizzling sound and lost all vitality.
Song Weimian was startled and quickly drew his sword.
Sui Chunsheng narrowed his eyes and looked into the woods.
“Be careful!”
As the boy’s voice fell, countless black gases rushed in from all directions, like a torrential rain.
The three of them quickly huddled together, instinctively retreating towards a weak point.
The surrounding trees varied in shape and changed unpredictably in the blink of an eye.
Sui Chunsheng then realized, “No, they’re doing it on purpose.”
“Go back!”
At this moment, Yong Lan shouted, “There! It’s Senior Sister Zhang Yu!”
The three of them looked over at the same time, only to see Zhang Yu and her group approaching.
They did not look well, all of them were injured, and Zhang Yu’s face was also gloomy.
Seeing the three of them, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
“It’s not Haowei, it’s something else,” she said.
Song Weimian hurried forward to check their injuries.
Her abdomen seemed to have been pierced by something, and the bleeding had not yet stopped.
“Our things were all taken away by the black gas. There were medicines inside,” Zhang Yu said.
The Heavenly Medicine Sect disciple immediately said, “Senior Brother Weimian, can you help our Senior Sister stop the bleeding? She can’t lose any more blood!”
Song Weimian had already taken out his medicine and sprinkled it on the wound.
The others surrounded them worriedly, seeming to gasp at the thought of their Senior Sister.
Song Weimian was very efficient, and soon stopped the bleeding and bandaged the wound.
His gaze stayed on the wound until the gauze had wrapped everything up, and then he raised his eyes slightly and said softly, “Okay.”
Zhang Yu’s expression softened a little, and her voice was still indifferent, “Thank you.”
“What about the others?” Sui Chunsheng said.
Zhang Yu came to her senses, “Si Feng was attracted by that great demon and left the group. The disciples of Bai Feng Sect couldn’t keep up and became headless flies. These black gases took the opportunity to attack, and the Bai Feng Sect instantly collapsed. Many people were injured. When I arrived, there were only six left.”
Sui Chunsheng then noticed that among the pale green clothes, there were a few scattered black ones.
They were indeed injured, but not seriously. At least, not as badly as Zhang Yu.
However, their expressions were much worse than Zhang Yu’s, as if they had suffered a great mental blow.
Song Weimian said softly, “Let’s go back the way we came. The fog here is getting thicker.”
He helped Zhang Yu up, instinctively checking the path they had come from.
Noticing the change in his expression, Sui Chunsheng then spoke, “We couldn’t get out a while ago. The path here changed long ago.”
Yong Lan was shocked, “Then why didn’t you say so before?”
Sui Chunsheng was still observing his surroundings, “The path was already blurred when I was bandaging Senior Sister Zhang Yu, but if I hadn’t bandaged her then, with that amount of blood loss, she would have died.”
“Informing her then would only make her mentally tense and bleed even more.”
Song Weimian pursed his lips, “The Little Immortal of the Hibiscus is right. From the moment we were driven here by the black gas, we could no longer get out.”
Yong Lan’s heart sank, “Then what do we do now?”
Sui Chunsheng raised his eyes, “This fog seems to be poisonous.”
Yong Lan’s heart almost stopped, “What??”
Zhang Yu’s breathing was a little unstable, “That’s right, the fog here is poisonous.”
Zhang Yu was a highly respected disciple of the Heavenly Medicine Sect. If she said it was poisonous, it must be true.
As soon as these words came out, everyone instinctively covered their mouths and noses, and lowered their breathing.
Sui Chunsheng: “Let’s leave here first and find a place where we can breathe.”
With that, he went ahead to scout the way.
The group followed behind him. Relying on his art of sensing energy, they should be able to find a place where they could breathe.
Sui Chunsheng’s speed grew faster and faster. After a quarter of an hour, he stopped.
Song Weimian and Yong Lan followed closely behind. Just as they were wondering why he had stopped, they noticed that there was no road in front of the boy. All that was left was a bottomless cliff.
Yong Lan was stunned for a moment, “Little Immortal of the Hibiscus, this…”
Sui Chunsheng frowned tightly, obviously not expecting this either. He said in a deep voice, “It seems that only below here is not affected by the poisonous gas.”
He was right. The crowd looked around, and they were already surrounded by thick fog. It seemed to be seeping out of the soil beneath their feet, endless, and it was almost impossible to see their fingers in front of their faces.
However, the air above the cliff was clear.
If they looked down, they could see the forest scenery at the bottom of the cliff.
It was obvious that the area below was safe.
Sui Chunsheng was in a dilemma, not because going down the cliff was difficult.
It was just that this might be a trap.
The black gas that had attacked them earlier, like the endless fog, had driven them here.
He looked at the bell on his chest. It had already lost its divine power in the attack of the black gas.
Song Weimian naturally knew Sui Chunsheng’s concerns. They were now in a situation where they knew it was a trap, but they had no choice.
Just as the two of them were worried, some of the people in the group behind them could not withstand the erosion of the fog and had fainted.
The Kunlun Void junior disciples took the lead, “Senior Brother, the junior brothers and sisters can’t hold on anymore!”
Song Weimian looked at the group. Three or two people from the Heavenly Medicine Sect and Kunlun Void had fainted, and the remaining people were gradually becoming dazed, and it seemed they would all faint soon.
“We’ll go down,” he said.
Sui Chunsheng nodded and took out the suspension rope from his body. He threw it towards the cliff, and it immediately formed a ladder that extended to the bottom of the cliff.
“You go down first. I’ll cover the rear.”
As if afraid that someone would refuse, he added, “I’m still clear-headed and only slightly poisoned. You go down first.”
The others no longer refused and began to go down the ladder.
The awake carried the unconscious, and those with mild poisoning took those with severe poisoning. It was still quite orderly.
In a moment, only Sui Chunsheng, Song Weimian, and Yong Lan were left on the cliff.
The three of them were the clearest headed at the moment.
Song Weimian’s expression was not good, which Sui Chunsheng noticed first.
“You go down first,” Sui Chunsheng said.
Song Weimian was not a pretentious person. He almost stepped on the heels of the person who went down earlier and went down the ladder.
Sui Chunsheng grabbed Yong Lan and threw him onto the ladder, following right after.
Yong Lan was still afraid of heights just now, but the next second he was thrown onto the ladder, without any psychological preparation.
He held onto the ladder rope tightly, hesitating for a long time in one spot, and squinted, not daring to look.
Sui Chunsheng had already seen his miserable state and tried to make his voice softer.
“Yong Lan, go down quickly, or I’ll fly down, and you’ll be the only one left up here.”
Yong Lan stammered, “You can fly?”
Sui Chunsheng didn’t think so, “Didn’t your master teach you how to control a sword?”
Yong Lan: “My master only taught me how to drink, and you’re not allowed to fly with a sword in the secret realm, or you’ll be eliminated…”
Sui Chunsheng pulled out the Tansue Sword and waved his hand to nail the sword in mid-air, and the next second he landed on it.
“We’ve already reached this point, so it’s better to be eliminated.”
“If you don’t dare to go down, then come up.” Saying that, Sui Chunsheng reached out to him.
Yong Lan held the rope tightly, his voice a little torn, “I, can your sword support us?”
Sui Chunsheng: “If you dawdle any longer, the rope will expire, and you’ll be smashed into mincemeat. Considering the relationship between our masters, I can collect your corpse for you.”
Yong Lan looked up. The rope was indeed beginning to dissipate. He was so frightened that he shivered and quickly grabbed Sui Chunsheng’s arm.
But the next second he regretted it.
As soon as Sui Chunsheng grabbed him, before he could even stand firm, he immediately controlled the sword and flew down, like the collision of a three-headed bird, directly charging towards the cliff floor.
Yong Lan shouted, “Mother!!! –”
Sui Chunsheng glanced at his expression, and said ruthlessly, “Don’t throw up on me.”
The Tansue Sword was very fast, and as soon as these words were spoken, it landed on the ground with the two of them.
The first group that came down had already taken the antidote pills carried by the Kunlun Void disciples, and with fresh air, they had recovered, and there were no major problems.
Seeing the two of them descending by sword control, they quickly surrounded them.
Song Weimian: “I’ve explored this place just now and found a few fainted Bai Feng Sect disciples, but I didn’t see Si Feng.”
Sui Chunsheng glanced to the side. Those Bai Feng Sect disciples were seriously injured, and Zhang Yu was treating them, while other disciples surrounded them.
He looked at the sky, “It’s going to rain. After simple treatment, let’s find a place to shelter from the rain.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint light lit up from his chest.
The fragrance of the agalloch wood spread out with the swaying of the bell, and a familiar voice sounded.
“Asheng, can you hear me?”
