His cooking is so delicious that he's become the darling of the entire cultivation world.

Chapter 247 Fighting

Hei Zi remained calm. "When are you leaving?"

The face behind the right protector's cloak wore a sinister smile, and the surrounding air condensed into blood-red beads, accompanied by an aura of blood and death.

"Don't rush, Your Highness, I still need to meet with those people from the Immortal Realm."

His men will be here soon; how can he not teach those immortal disciples a lesson?

"Suit yourself. I'm taking someone back to the Demon Realm." Hei Zi glanced at the Right Protector, his eyes subtly warning him, then turned to leave.

Thinking of what he had observed over the past two days, the Right Protector suddenly said, "Your Highness, that junior disciple from the Celestial Realm might not be willing to go to the Demon Realm with you."

Kuroko didn't turn around; a hint of obsession flashed in his dark red pupils.

Yun Ci, I'm sorry.

......

Yun Ci slept for the entire afternoon, and in the evening, he and three other inner disciples went to their patrol area.

Their patrol position was one kilometer away from the palace.

Yun Ci carried a kerosene lamp and followed the patrol route with the other three members of her team.

The surroundings were gloomy and cold, but the blood moon in the sky still had a sliver of light, making the surroundings less pitch black.

But with the blood moon overhead, the night here is even more terrifying and eerie than the daytime.

"Ugh, this Demon Realm is truly eerie; the stench of blood in the air is awful..."

"Who says otherwise? Who knows how many people those demons have killed? They are truly despicable."

The two people in front shouted loudly to embolden themselves.

Yun Ci walked behind, turning her head to look at the pitch-black darkness not far away, a hint of fear on her face.

Hurry up and walk a few steps to keep up with the person in front.

Something just doesn't feel right here. It's like someone's watching him.

Yun Ci couldn't help but think.

The four remained highly vigilant, and their tension reached its peak in the latter half of the night.

But all was well, with only the sound of the wind blowing and the rustling of the grass stalks.

With just over an hour until dawn, Yun Ci and the others finally relaxed and gradually let their guard down.

Rustle, rustle.

The sound of grass stalks rubbing together rang out again.

The three people in front of them didn't care and continued walking forward. Yun Ci had heard this voice many times that night, but she still glanced to the side.

With that glance, Yun Ci met several pairs of red eyes.

Those eyes, hidden among the withered, tangled stalks of grass, had been watching them for who knows how long.

It looks terrifying.

At that moment, Yun Ci felt a chill run from head to toe.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my throat.

"Hey, has that human spotted us?"

"It seems so. Should we rush out now?"

"Chong...wait! That human disciple turned his head back, it seems he didn't notice us."

Voices came from inside the straw. After the demon finished speaking, it realized that the spot next to it was empty.

Only then did he realize that his brother had already rushed up.

Yun Ci used all her strength to suppress her emotions and didn't shout it out.

Those demons had been observing them for who knows how long, but they hadn't come out yet.

If he shouts it out now, those demons will definitely rush out, and they will start fighting each other. Then there will be no time to warn others.

Therefore, Yun Ci could only pretend not to see it, her face pale as she slowly turned her head away.

I was about to quicken my pace, catch up with the senior students ahead, tell them about this, and ask them to go back and spread the word.

Two demons jumped out of the weeds and stared at Yun Ci with wide, red eyes.

Yun Ci, “…”

Having just finished speaking in the grass, the demon, realizing there was no demon nearby, stammered, "..."

The three people ahead who turned around after hearing the noise were speechless.

"what!"

A scream echoed through the silent, dark night, startling the demon-toothed bats resting on the withered trees and some birds, which took flight.

“Demons! They are demons!” An inner disciple pointed at the two demons with trembling fingers.

The two people beside him, whose eyes had been tired, were now wide awake and took out their spirit swords.

"Quickly open the flower tube, hurry up!"

"Are you going to break the rules?" An inner disciple looked at the two demons in front of him, his face full of tension.

The two demons were already grinning evilly, "If you die, no one will know that we broke the rules."

As they spoke, two demons charged forward.

The demonic energy in his hand attacked straight at him.

The disciple holding the flower tube could only dodge the attack by turning to the side.

Then, more demons rushed out and surrounded Yun Ci and the other three.

"Hurry up and pull the flower tube!" Yun Ci urged, looking at the demon in front of her.

The disciple holding the flower tube immediately pulled it open before launching the attack.

A white light rose into the air.

But Yun Ci and the others did not relax, as the demons around them pounced on them.

The two sides became entangled in combat.

Those who possess a spirit sword use the sword, but Yun Ci, lacking a spirit sword, uses spiritual power instead.

Streams of green spiritual energy struck the charging demon.

Yun Ci's round eyes were full of vigilance as she unleashed her spiritual power while constantly dodging attacks.

Yun Ci discovered that he could use things he hadn't yet learned, perhaps based on muscle memory.

But the demons around them outnumbered them several times over, and they gradually began to feel powerless.

Those demons, recognizing this, launched even more chaotic attacks.

Both of them were injured; the flesh where they were hit turned black and emitted demonic energy.

"Well!"

One of the disciples clutched his wound in pain.

Yun Ci and two other disciples stood in front of the injured disciple.

Just then, the rescue team arrived.

Judging from the footsteps, you could tell that a lot of people were coming.

Lu Yi and several other Golden Core stage senior brothers arrived and rushed over with their swords.

Several low-level demons were pierced through the heart by a single arrow, and screams of agony echoed around them.

Upon seeing their companion killed, the other demons scattered and fled like birds and beasts.

Several Golden Core stage senior brothers were about to give chase when a demon took out a ball and smashed it on the ground, emitting choking black smoke.

"Quick! Everyone cover your noses! This smoke is poisonous!"

Everyone quickly stepped back.

Those low-level demons have already run far away.

"Saving lives is the priority. Are you all alright?"

"Yes, are any of you injured?"

Yun Ci shook his head, "We're fine, but Senior Brother Zheng and Senior Brother Ma are injured."

Upon seeing this, Lu Yi's expression darkened, and he immediately pressed several acupoints. "The black energy here is demonic energy. Although I pressed his acupoints to slightly prevent some of the demonic energy from invading, it's only a matter of time before this demonic energy flows into my limbs and bones."

The surrounding area fell silent, their faces showing reluctance.

Although there were disciples from the Spirit Plant Peak, the blackened flesh showed that it had been deeply corrupted by demonic energy.

At best, their cultivation will be hindered; at worst, they will stop here and even suffer from qi deviation.

The two injured inner disciples also lowered their heads.

The atmosphere is heavy.

"Let's go back quickly and get them treated first!"

"Yes, I'll carry them on my back."

"and many more."

Yun Ci squatted on the ground, and as if he had thought of something, he immediately condensed wood elemental power in his palm.

He followed the instructions taught by his senior brother Mu Jin to purify the black demonic energy.

The wood elemental energy condensed in the area emitting black smoke, and soon the demonic energy on the flesh vanished.

The dark flesh also turned into skin color.

Yun Ci looked at it and withdrew her hand. "Senior Brother Lu, is everything alright now?"

The air was quiet for a second.

Lu Yi's mouth dropped open, his face filled with disbelief. "This...is this top-grade wood elemental power?"

"That's...amazing..."
