Chapter 624: Chapter 311: Jiang Yi’s Tribulation?_2

Xia He’s life-nurturing bead was meant for healing.

Although it was inadvertently taken away by Jiang Shouzhong, it had been replicated in Jiang Yi’s body with the Divine Jade Bead, so its power remained.

Qiuye’s bead could multiply the power of any cultivation technique many times over, but it drained Yuan Qi very quickly and was likely to backlash and cause injuries; she needed the help of her eldest and second sisters.

The life-nurturing bead of Dong Xue enabled her to keenly perceive danger and react one step ahead.

"Miss Leng, protect the lady well."

Chun Yu shouted.

Leng Jing nodded her little head, holding the cactus beside Jiang Yi, as the faint green light emitted from the cactus enveloped everyone, including Jinxiu and the other two.

The mysterious shadow darted between the treetops, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

The four sisters held their breath in anticipation.

They were in sync and did not rush to attack, but rather waited patiently for the shadow’s true form to reveal itself, unmoved even as the shadow deliberately flashed around them.

After a moment, Dong Xue suddenly aimed the earth-shaking bell at a position to the right.

At the same time, Chun Yu, the eldest sister, poured all the absorbed Yuan Qi into the bell, causing it to burst out with dazzling brilliance.

Qiuye took a deep breath and then opened her mouth.

The intense sound waves transmitted through the end of the bell and in an instant, they increased by dozens of times, like an overwhelming flood, rampaging with unstoppable force.

The shadow caught in the air was caught off guard and swept away by this majestic power, bending the trees in its path.

The surrounding trees were uprooted, the ground torn asunder, dust billowing like a tornado sweeping through, leaving a desolate and shocking scene.

After the roaring ceased, the shadow lay motionless on the ground.

Chun Yu, sword in hand, approached.

Now, she could see that the other party was a woman dressed in black, her face covered.

This woman in black was the same Xuanji Sword Sect member who Qu Hongling and Yelü Miaomiao had encountered before.

Just then, the woman in black suddenly made a strange noise from her throat, like a mournful cry of a night owl, and then her body curled up on the ground, transforming into a demon with a human head, a snake’s body, and a belly bearing several human hands.

"What kind of demon is this?"

Chun Yu was shocked by this sight.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sound of thunder rang out from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a mass of dark thunderclouds swirling above, lightning entwined, carrying a terrifying oppression.

Did this demon summon a Heavenly Tribulation?

Jiang Yi’s eyelids twitched.

Typically, only demons that had reached the Feathered Transformation Realm were required to undergo the cleansing of the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Could it be that this demon has reached the Feathered Transformation Realm?"

Jiang Yi puzzled, "But if it were at the Feathered Transformation Realm, the four girls’ strength shouldn’t have so easily severely injured it."

To everyone’s surprise, the expected Heavenly Tribulation did not descend.

The thunderclouds merely kept stacking and compressing. After several resounding booms, a crack in the black clouds revealed a sudden flash of scarlet, like a touch of cinnabar painting, both beautiful and eerie.

The recently transformed demon seemed to sense something terrifying and panicked, scurrying away into the deep forest, vanishing without a trace, leaving behind only a pool of black blood.

Chun Yu did not have time to chase, instead standing guard by Jiang Yi.

Light pierced through layers of gloom, casting a glamorous and sinister blood-red hue...

"It seems more like someone’s Daoist school," Jiang Yi had a bad premonition and quickly said, "Let’s get out of here!"

However, no sooner had she spoken than the blood-red light enveloped everything around in an instant.

When the red light faded, everyone had disappeared without a trace, as if they had vanished into thin air, even the carriage was gone, leaving behind only the bodies of the wedding escort.

Dead silence fell all around.

At the same time, a sword light plummeted from the sky.

Then, with a "boom", it crashed into the ground.

In the resulting crater lay Qu Hongling, in her red dress.

The girl was pale and motionless.

Before long, Yelü Miaomiao, with wings on her back, flew in.

Seeing the girl in the crater, she quickly went forward to check on her and, finding that she had merely fainted, breathed a sigh of relief.

Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Yelü Miaomiao said with residual fear, "What on earth happened to you, how could you suddenly go crazy out of nowhere?"

It turned out that moments earlier, as the two women were flying on their swords, they heard the sounds of a fight ahead and decided to go take a look.

Who knew that as soon as they flew over this area, Qu Hongling suddenly acted as if she had been provoked, clutching her head and screaming in agony.

And then the mysterious thunderclouds appeared in the sky.

And she was directly blasted away at the time, and if not for the protection of her Dharma form, she would have either died or suffered severe injuries.

Yelü Miaomiao reflected on the scene just now, and her heartbeat still quickened.

Somehow, at that moment, she truly felt as if the world was changing, as if she was about to fall into Hell.

"Following this Mr. Qu is a bit dangerous."

Yelü Miaomiao hesitated, wondering if she should leave this dangerous woman.

But looking at the unconscious and fragile girl, she eventually softened her heart, "Forget it, I really owe you."

Yelü Miaomiao sighed, lifting Qu Hongling out of the deep pit.

"Mr. Qu, I hope you won’t get me killed. Even if you want to go crazy, you should at least castrate the scumbag who deceived your feelings before losing your mind... it’s not too late."

"If you dare to castrate my man, I’ll castrate yours," came a weak voice from behind her.

Yelü Miaomiao was startled, setting the girl down from her back and said with a strange look, "You woke up quite quickly. What the hell happened just now? It couldn’t be that you tried to kill me but got possessed instead?"

"If I wanted to kill you, you’d have died long ago."

Qu Hongling laughed ’hehe.’

She felt extremely dizzy, as if a heavy weight had been stuffed into her skull.

Just now, she didn’t know what had happened. Suddenly, a red flash appeared before her eyes, and then, just like in the Myriad Phenomena God Sect’s forbidden grounds, she experienced a splitting headache.

This was the third time.

The first time was when she went to One-Line Sky in search of the Youming Demon Spring. In Jade Gorge, she was ambushed by Su Shanke and others. During a life-threatening moment, she also suddenly went mad.

That episode had severe consequences, causing her to lose her memory for half a year.

Fortunately, there were no memory loss aftereffects these last two times, but the frequent intervals of the episodes cast a shadow in the girl’s heart.

"Pfft, as if you could kill me?"

Yelü Miaomiao rolled her eyes.

However, remembering the terrifying phenomena triggered by the other’s frenzy, Yelü Miaomiao subconsciously distanced herself from her.

Only then did she notice the bodies of the wedding procession on the ground.

Yelü Miaomiao jumped with fright, frowning and saying, "Why are there so many dead people here? They couldn’t have been caught in an innocent disaster, accidentally killed by Mr. Qu, could they?"

Qu Hongling, rubbing her painful head, looked towards the corpses, somewhat dazed.

However, after the two of them examined the bodies, their expressions changed.

The way these bodies were mutilated was extremely similar to those they had seen in the Myriad Phenomena God Sect’s underground palace, all gnawed and bitten.

"I didn’t expect the demon to have come here."

Looking at these innocent victims, Yelü Miaomiao’s pretty face turned extremely unsightly.

In her view, it was her oversight that she did not kill the demon in the underground palace, leading to these deaths.

"As long as this demon lives, it will harm more people."

Yelü Miaomiao clenched her fists and said to Qu Hongling, "Why don’t we deal with this demon before you go to find your husband? Judging by the wounds on these corpses, the demon couldn’t have gone far."

Qu Hongling gave a wry smile, "Do you think I’m in any condition to catch demons?"

No sooner had her words fallen when she went limp, tilting forward.

Yelü Miaomiao hurriedly supported her.

Looking down, she saw that Qu Hongling had fainted once again.

"To think you are a Sect Master, how can you be so weak?"

Yelü Miaomiao felt helpless.

After hesitating for a while, the girl spotted a palanquin not far away, placed Qu Hongling inside, and said, "You rest here for a while, I’ll come back after I’ve killed the demon."

Having said that, Yelü Miaomiao followed the trail of bloodstains and soon disappeared from sight.

However, not long after Yelü Miaomiao left, the grass suddenly rustled with friction, and then the black-clothed woman who had become a snake-bodied demon slowly approached the palanquin.

The woman’s eyes were ice-cold, with black blood dripping from her abdomen.

She stared fixedly at the palanquin with both greed and fear in her eyes.

After transforming into a demon, she could feel an inexplicable pressure emanating from Qu Hongling, quivering her very soul... yet at the same time, there was a delicious scent coming from her.

"Sorry, Mr. Qu, you should have killed me earlier."

The demon swallowed her saliva and moved forward slowly.

But when she lifted the curtain, she was shocked to see the supposedly unconscious Qu Hongling sitting upright in the palanquin, smiling at her with playful eyes.

A sneer then came from behind, "You really were hiding nearby."

It was Yelü Miaomiao.

She had been tricked!

The black-clothed woman’s face changed drastically.
