The limp Ban Hong on the ground, the Dark Asura Hall generals, the people from Water Moon Sect and Crimson Flame Association, and even Xie Jingxuan were all looking towards Gao Yu with reproach in their eyes.
Under everyone’s gaze, Gao Yu’s own was dark, and with a stiff expression, he abruptly walked towards another direction.
He had followed the demon mirage’s words get as far away from Qin Lie as possible, so after Qin Lie had exited the valley, he chose to distance himself from Qin Lie again.
He didn’t know what was hidden in Qin Lie’s body, and he didn’t know what would happen either, but he knew that it would be harmful to him, so that was why he left.
He ignored everyone else’s doubts, suspicions, and inquires.
“That guy is such a weird dude, what the hell is his problem?”
“It’s like there’s poison on our bodies. What is he hiding from?”
“There is a demon hiding in his body, so his disposition is also… it is as strange as you might as expect it to be. It’s better if we stay away from him.”
The crowd whispered amongst themselves, and the gazes they threw in Gao Yu’s direction were very odd. But they were also slightly wary of him because, all in all, none of them dared to do anything to him.
This included Liang Zhong and the others from Dark Asura Hall. They were also a bit wary of Gao Yu; afraid that they would provoke that thing’s emergence and cause undue trouble.
“That is the Demon God’s shadow.” Xie Jingxuan stared at Gao Yu. “The spirit art he’s cultivating and the ring on his finger are both extraordinary. Luckily… luckily this is only the shadow of a Demon God, and luckily his realm is too low and cannot truly summon it. Otherwise…”
She did not continue, but fear could be seen in Liang Zhong and the Dark Asura Hall generals’ eyes.
“The Demon God’s shadow? What’s that?” Xiong Ba scratched his head with a baffled look. “Never heard of it, but it sounds like it’s pretty strong. Even the Soul Devouring Beast is afraid of it.”
“Zhuo Qian, do you know anything about it?” Tu Ze could not help but ask when he saw her expression changed.
“I’m not sure. Let’s check out Qin Lie’s condition first.” Zhuo Qian’s expression was also very unnatural, as if she had heard about the Demon God’s shadow before. She did not elaborate any further and instead knelt down beside Qin Lie, calling out to him softly, “Qin Lie, how are you doing? Can you hear what I’m saying? Qin Lie…”
She called out again and again, but unfortunately there was no reaction from Qin Lie at all. It seemed that he could not hear her.
Tu Ze and the others were also getting anxious as they surrounded Qin Lie and softly called out to him, hoping to wake him up from his trance.
“Miss, that Eight Extreme Trigram Fire Formation… can it really purify that Soul Devouring Beast to death completely? Liang Zhong’s expression returned to normal, and as he watched the continuously eruptions in the canyon he asked worriedly.
“Five of our brothers have died. If we still can’t destroy the Soul Devouring Beast, then they will have died for nothing.” Ban Hong sighed.
“I don’t know either.” Xie Jingxuan shook her head slightly. “It could have purified it to death, but the formation cannot unleash its full power now, it may not be possible.”
The way she put it made everyone anxious, and they all looked towards the valley, eyes filled with gloom.
