After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 189 It’s all over

It was him! This human cultivator actually possessed demon blood?!

That just means he's a hybrid of a demon and a human! Such a hybrid is the lowest quality of all! Even the phantom demons wouldn't deign to eat him!

Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but stare intently at Song Qiao, her eyes filled with anger and resentment.

No wonder this guy wasn't lured by its eyes! It turns out he has demon blood in his body! No wonder!

The phantom demons erupted in another uproar, all staring at Song Qiao with disdain, saying all sorts of things. There were even a few phantom demons who were jealous of Alan's good luck and were secretly gloating.

The clan chief scrutinized Song Qiao carefully, then sighed after a long while before turning to the other phantom demons and explaining, "This cultivator has wolf demon blood. Even if it's only half wolf demon blood, we can't afford to offend him, so we can't touch him."

The phantom demons were immediately filled with disappointment.

Now only two human cultivators can eat it, so they'll probably only get to taste a tiny bit of the flavor...

Alan's face was extremely ugly. She only heard the clan leader say that Song Qiao was of mixed race, and she didn't hear anything after that.

Damn it! The human cultivators she captured were such inferior and filthy creatures! Not only were they inedible, but the clan leader also discovered them! In that case, she might lose her chance at the clan leader position!

Damn it, damn it! That bastard deserves to die!!

Thinking of this, Alan became furious. She turned her head and stared coldly at Song Qiao, her hair instantly growing longer as she attacked him.

The clan leader and the other phantom demons widened their eyes in surprise.

Has Ah Lan gone mad? How dare she attack someone with wolf demon blood?!

Just then, the air suddenly vibrated, thunder roared, and then several extremely fast sword lights flashed in mid-air. With two "whoosh" sounds, A-Lan's long hair was instantly cut into several pieces.

Alan screamed and backed away.

All the phantom demons subconsciously looked up.

Thunder?!

But upon closer inspection, the sky remained bright and clear, without a trace of thunder!

"How is this going?!"

The clan leader, being experienced and knowledgeable, was the first to react, realizing something was wrong. It abruptly turned its gaze towards the boulder, its pupils dilating in shock, "They've all woken up!"

The other phantom demons all turned to look.

The colossal beast on the boulder had long since fallen to the ground, its eyes wide open, seemingly dying with unseeing disbelief. Standing beside it were four people and one beast: in addition to the original three, there was now an exceptionally handsome young man and a young animal.

The phantom demons were on high alert and began to discuss the matter amongst themselves.

Someone sneaked in while they weren't looking and revived the three human cultivators!

"How did that person manage to sneak in?!"

"We were completely unaware!"

Alan's face turned pale, and her eyes immediately turned bloodshot. Her voice became shrill with disbelief: "How is this possible?! How did you wake up?!"

She clearly cast a spell on these people, and they wouldn't wake up until she lifted the spell!

Lin Ji coldly stared at the phantom demons below. Upon hearing this, the corners of his mouth turned up, but his eyes were full of contempt.

……

Time goes back to half an hour ago.

When Su Luo looked around and noticed that the sinkhole was surrounded by steep peaks, a brilliant idea suddenly flashed into her mind. She immediately told Lin Ji about the plan and received his strong approval.

But then Su Luo became somewhat troubled.

The prerequisite for implementing this plan is to rescue Chu Wenqing and the others first.

After thinking about it, Lin Ji suggested a division of labor. Su Luo would go and complete the preparatory work for the plan, while he would go down to rescue Chu Wenqing and the others.

Su Luo was a little worried, but before she could speak, Lin Ji continued, "Don't worry, I can handle it. But I still need to borrow something from you."

Su Luo was taken aback. "Borrow what?"

Lin Ji lowered his eyes and focused his gaze on Su Luo's storage bag. "I'll borrow your spirit beast for a bit."

What do you need Zhuzhu for?

Su Luo blinked blankly for a moment before she realized what was happening.

Oh right! She almost forgot that bamboo-eating beasts can not only cure all poisons, but also heal wounds!

Thinking of this, Su Luo quickly took Zhu Zhu out of the storage bag and placed her in Lin Ji's hands. Then, she said to Zhu Zhu, who had just opened her eyes, "Zhu Zhu, your master is giving you a task. You will go with Lin Ji to rescue someone later. You must obey his orders. Understand?"

Zhu Zhu, who had just woken up and was still quite dazed, froze completely upon hearing this. It slowly raised its head and met Lin Ji's ambiguous smile, and its fur immediately stood on end.

"!" No! It doesn't want to be with this horrible human!

Unfortunately, Lin Ji didn't give Zhu Zhu a chance to ask Su Luo for help. He threatened her with a single look, which scared Zhu Zhu so much that she shrank back like a quail and dared not beg for mercy.

Seeing this, Lin Ji nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Su Luo and said gently, "Su Luo, I'll go down now."

Su Luo was still a little worried, so after thinking for a moment, she handed the Crimson Flame Spear to Lin Ji and taught him how to use it before giving him a final instruction: "Be careful in everything you do."

Lin Ji smiled at her, then turned around, found an inconspicuous corner, picked up the dejected little guy, and nimbly jumped down.

Su Luo peeked out and made sure Lin Ji wasn't injured, and that he had landed in a corner where no one had noticed him. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Ji hid in the shadows, enveloping himself in a faint demonic aura that Zhu Zhu couldn't detect, blending himself into the darkness. Then, like a ghost, he quietly approached Chu Wenqing and the others, and before the phantom demons noticed, he threw Zhu Zhu onto a boulder, sending her to rescue people.

The giant beast noticed the situation and immediately opened its eyes wide. Just as it was about to roar, a demonic aura suddenly appeared in the air. That demonic aura then transformed into a giant black hand, which reached out and grabbed the giant beast's neck, crushing it to pieces.

At the same time, Chu Wenqing and the others gradually woke up...

……

Time returns to the present.

Chu Wenqing, holding a longsword that was still gleaming with silver light, stood at the very front. He glanced coldly at Alan, then quickly turned his head away, afraid that he would be bewitched by those eyes again, while shouting under his breath.

"Hmph! Of course we'll wake up! Don't you mere demons know that there are always people stronger than us, and that there's always something beyond our understanding?!"

Despite saying that, Chu Wenqing was actually panicking inside.

Oh my god! Luckily, Lin Ji brought Zhu Zhu to save them, otherwise they would have really been in grave danger and would have been devoured alive by these illusion demons while they were still asleep!

Who would have thought that their good deed in saving someone turned out to be a phantom demon in disguise?! That was bad enough, but when Zhu Zhu woke them up, they were even more horrified when they suddenly heard the phantom demons whispering about how to eat them!

Feng Xiyue also thought of this. At this moment, besides feeling fortunate, she felt even more angry at Alan.

They were so close! They were almost wiped out! That phantom demon named Alan actually took advantage of their pity for the weak and manipulated them at will!

Thinking of this, Feng Xiyue's anger blazed out at A Lan: "You cunning and treacherous demon! You're utterly shameless! You even went so far as to pretend to be an ordinary child to gain our trust! And you wanted to eat us! Bah! Eat your big head! I knew I was being so soft-hearted towards a child for no reason! It's all because of your damn eyes! You just wait! I'll gouge your eyes out and use them as a football!"

Despite her cursing, Feng Xiyue didn't dare to look Alan in the eye directly, only daring to glance at it out of the corner of her eye.

She knew in her heart that although they had all woken up, they were still outnumbered and had to be wary of being bewitched by the eyes of the illusion demon, so she absolutely could not be careless.

Song Qiao didn't speak. He just lowered his head and hugged Zhu Zhu tightly, his face deathly pale.

Lin Ji couldn't help but glance at him lightly.

Alan was verbally abused by Feng Xiyue, which made her face turn pale and then red, her whole body trembled, and her eyes became extremely vicious.

It’s over! All is lost!

Because of her, not only was the Phantom Demon's lair exposed, but she also sent people in to secretly rescue those prey! The chances of her becoming the clan leader are now gone! It's all over!

But she simply couldn't understand it!

"Impossible! How could you possibly be awake?! Impossible! My magic is so powerful, there's no way you could be awake!"

The other phantom demons were also puzzled.

If the magic of the illusionary demons were so easy to break, they wouldn't be high-level demons! How did these people manage to do it? It's truly bizarre!

It wasn't until the Phantom Demon Clan Chief recognized Zhu Zhu in Song Qiao's arms that his voice suddenly rose, "That's... a bamboo-eating beast?!"

The phantom demons were stunned for a moment, then a commotion broke out all around them as they stared intently at Zhu Zhu.

"It's a bamboo-eating beast?! I've heard that the breath it exhales can purify any polluted creature!"

"No wonder these people woke up!"

"Spirit beasts are inherently countered by demons! Not to mention bamboo-eating beasts! Damn it! These people even have spirit beasts helping them!"

"This is a spirit beast... how abundant must its spiritual energy be!"

The phantom demons chattered amongst themselves, their gazes toward Zhu Zhu growing increasingly dangerous, their eyes filled with covetousness.

At this moment, Zhuzhu was being held tightly in Song Qiao's arms. Despite the malicious stares of the illusion demons, it raised its head and straightened its chest without any fear.

Hmph! It's not afraid at all! Can these phantom demons be more terrifying than that demon Lin Ji?

Just thinking about how Lin Ji had killed that giant beast made Zhu Zhu shrink back.

That guy is absolutely ruthless! Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! There is no one more terrifying than Lin Ji in this world!

Illusionary demons? That's utter nonsense!
