Deep in the darkness.
The roars of demon beasts were already echoing from all directions.
However, the darkness cut off sight and spiritual perception. Although they could hear the sounds, no one knew what would happen on the way to those sounds.
At this moment, Li Shuang's advantage became apparent again.
She possessed the Reincarnation Art, allowing her to accurately pinpoint the direction of the soul bodies.
These demon beasts...
They had long been dead for countless years, and what remained now was just a trace of their true spirits.
Li Shuang was contemplating which way to go.
Suddenly.
A sound came from behind her.
Li Shuang turned around and saw Feng Yu and Yan Lie hurrying towards her.
The two exchanged surprised looks as they saw each other.
"Didn't you go left?"
"Didn't you go right?"
They spoke in unison, then exchanged helpless expressions.
It seemed they had merely put on an act for each other, and in the end, they still followed Li Shuang.
And that wasn't all.
This time.
A total of fifty-four people chose to leave the disciple dormitory.
In such a mystic realm, it was usually every person for themselves.
However.
Cang Yin unhesitatingly followed Li Shuang.
And Li Shuang inexplicably seemed reliable.
Among these fifty people, almost half of them sought out Li Shuang.
Cang Yin couldn't help but smile, "You guys are smart. But you're one step too late. I've already embraced Sister Shuang's thigh ahead of you. Haven't I, Sister Shuang?"
Li Shuang: "..."
"See, my sister agrees," Cang Yin said naturally.
Everyone was speechless.
Do you still remember your genius status?
How can you embrace someone's thigh so naturally?
Li Shuang also felt a bit helpless. She said, "You guys are..."
Feng Yu smiled and said, "My intuition tells me that you seem to know some things we don't."
That alone wouldn't have been enough for Feng Yu to follow.
After all, what Li Shuang knew was her own business. In such a place, everyone looked out for themselves; who would dare to expect assistance from others?
The crucial point was.
He sensed that Li Shuang had intentionally given them hints.
Since that was the case, it wouldn't hurt to follow and give it a try.
"The sounds of demon beasts are coming from almost all directions here. And the sounds vary in volume, making it hard for us to distinguish distance," Yan Lie said gruffly. "No matter who it is, acting alone would be a near-certain death. I think we should act together, shouldn't we?"
"Act together? And who do we listen to, hm?" Cang Yin directly questioned, "If you want to go this way, and I want to go that way, wouldn't we just hinder each other?"
Yan Lie and Feng Yu both looked at Li Shuang, "If fellow Daoist Li is willing, we are willing to follow your command."
Seeing that the top three geniuses on the genius leaderboard had declared their stance, the others no longer hesitated and all expressed their loyalty to Li Shuang.
Only then did Cang Yin reveal a satisfied smile.
What she wanted was this answer from everyone.
To embrace Sister Shuang's thigh, ability was one aspect, but more importantly, obedience!
Li Shuang listened to everyone's declarations, her voice calm. She nodded directly, "If you want to follow me, you can! I have only one request! You must obey! Those who don't obey will leave immediately. I don't need dead weight."
Everyone nodded in silence.
Li Shuang quickly made her calculations.
Their group had almost thirty people. Her Reincarnation Art could identify the direction of soul bodies, and according to their brightness, she could roughly gauge their strength.
For their first hunt, they lacked much coordination, so they couldn't tackle overly difficult challenges.
Moreover.
They had wasted a lot of time here. In half an hour, they had to hunt demon beasts, send them to the Demon Beast Pavilion, and return to the disciple dorm. Time was very tight.
Li Shuang closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, then quickly chose a direction.
"Follow me," Li Shuang said coldly.
Everyone hurried to keep up.
The deeper they went into the night, the more intense the cold and eerie feeling became.
This feeling was very uncomfortable, always giving them a sense of wanting to turn around and flee.
The only one unaffected by the dark aura was Li Shuang.
This chilling aura was a mere trifle compared to the true River of Forgetfulness.
She could even visualize the River of Forgetfulness, let alone this chilling aura.
Li Shuang strode forward swiftly, and everyone else could only try their best to keep up.
As expected of her Sister Shuang!
Cang Yin looked at her with admiration.
She tried hard to ignore the chilling sensation and followed closely in Li Shuang's footsteps.
The others also felt a bit fortunate that they had chosen to act as a group this time.
When acting together, they always felt a greater sense of security, and they could barely suppress the urge to flee.
If they were acting alone...
Many of them would probably have already given up.
After traveling for a while.
Li Shuang suddenly stopped, and her cold voice echoed simultaneously: "Get ready! Demon beasts ahead!"
Demon beasts, where were the demon beasts?
The crowd looked at the still pitch-black front, and immediately felt a chill down their spines.
They hastily drew their weapons in response.
The next moment.
A massive demon beast appeared in the air, its sharp claws descending directly towards the crowd.
This demon beast was formidable, probably at the late stage of the Fusion Realm!
Among them, only Cang Yin, Feng Yu, and Yan Lie possessed strength at the Fusion Realm.
Now.
They were all contaminated by the dark aura, and it would be good if they could unleash even half of their strength. Just this one demon beast would likely be very difficult for their group to handle!
Cang Yin, Feng Yu, and Yan Lie were about to draw their weapons and confront it.
A bolt of lightning illuminated a small patch of the dark night. With the Black Abyss in hand, Li Shuang had already rushed forward.
She calmly stated, "This is the leader, the strongest one. The remaining ones are one demon beast at the early stage of the Fusion Realm, and ten demon beasts at the Nascent Soul Realm. They're all yours!"
Everyone felt a little dazed for a moment.
What did Li Shuang mean?
Was she planning to face this demon beast alone?
No!
Not just planning!
She was already doing it!
She alone faced the Fusion Realm demon beast and actually gained the upper hand.
The crowd didn't have time to be amazed for too long.
Seeing their leader being held back, the other demon beasts swarmed forward, rushing towards the crowd.
Everyone scrambled to cope.
Cang Yin and the other two dealt with the early Fusion Realm demon beast.
The rest jointly faced the ten Nascent Soul Realm demon beasts.
If they were in the outside world, they would have a much easier time dealing with them.
However. Within the Langya Sect, the dark aura lingered, and everyone's strength, except Li Shuang's, was suppressed.
Everyone felt a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, there were enough of them, and overall, they still had the upper hand.
"Done." Cang Yin and the other two worked together to take down the early Fusion Realm demon beast. Cang Yin quickly turned to look for Li Shuang!
They didn't know what the situation was like on Li Shuang's side; they had to go help immediately.
As Cang Yin turned around, she realized that Li Shuang's battle had already ended at some point.
She calmly held the demon beast by its neck, waiting quietly.
Seeing Cang Yin look over, Li Shuang explained, "You all need to gain some experience in fighting in the dark. So, since there was still enough time, I didn't help."
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
They...
That wasn't what they meant.
But, Sister, aren't you a bit too strong?
Is this really a cultivator under a hundred years old?
