This was obviously done deliberately by Lei Fengxing. He wanted to separate from them.
He didn't tell everyone that Lei Fengxing didn't follow him. If he did, everyone would definitely turn back to look for Lei Fengxing, and then he would be in danger.
Following at the end of the team, Xu You casually fired the Dream-Breaking Blade to kill the Yin spirits that were seeping out from both sides of the cave wall. At the same time, he was thinking about what to do?
Now it can basically be concluded that the spiritual pool is fake and they have fallen into a trap.
The person who set the trap was Lei Fengxing.
As for why Lei Feng wanted to plot against them, Xu You couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it, because it was meaningless.
The most important thing now is how to escape from this terrible cave.
If it doesn't work, just fight back from the original route. Even if you are surrounded by an army of Yin spirits, it is better than being trapped in a cave... Xu You made a decision.
He has the Dream-Breaking Blade, which can easily kill these ghosts in an instant. There are a large number of Yuan-Building Pills in the storage bracelet, which is enough to replenish spiritual power, and there is also an invisible crystal ball, so he is not too panicked.
The only worry now is Lei Fengxing. The Lei Hall Master led them into a trap in the Yinling Cave, and he will not let them escape easily.
He glanced at Lei Qinglan who was holding on to his right arm tightly. No matter what, Miss Qinglan must be rescued. If they were able, Lei Fang, Lei Xing, Lei Zhao and others would also save her.
As for the other disciples, they can only accept their destiny.
However, these thoughts cannot be told to Lei Qinglan yet. After all, they are just his guesses and feelings. Even if he says it, Lei Qinglan will probably not believe it. Only when she sees the truth will she truly believe him.
Thinking of this, Xu You could only concentrate on dealing with Yin Ling.
One after another, the Yin spirits appeared from the stone walls of the cave. Before they could rush in front of him, they were chopped into pieces by the Dream-Breaking Blade and turned into white balls of light that dissipated.
His heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to grab a ball of light. Suddenly, a cold feeling pierced the palm of his hand, and it stung slightly. It was even colder than holding a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice.
Xu You let go of his hand, and the white light ball suddenly started flying again, but it was much smaller. It was obviously partly consumed by the heat in his hand.
Sure enough, it is energy with pure cold attributes... Xu You thought to himself.
The Blade of Broken Dreams only kills the intelligence of the Yin spirits, but has no effect on their own energy. Therefore, after the Yin spirits explode, they will turn into pure Yin-cold energy.
However, the fireball technique and the thunder and lightning technique destroy the Yin spirit as a whole. They need to annihilate the Yin cold energy, and the spiritual power consumed will naturally increase greatly.
Although the level of Dream Broken Blade is higher than that of Fireball and Thunder, and its spiritual consciousness is unparalleled, under the same conditions, the effect of using Spiritual Consciousness Sting to deal with Yin spirits should be more effective than Fireball and Thunder.
Effortless.
Xu You thought to himself, condensing a thorn of spiritual consciousness that was only in the middle stage of the spiritual body, and stabbed towards a Yin spirit that was rushing towards him.
Poof! Just like puncturing a balloon, the Yin Spirit froze in mid-air for an instant, and its ferocious expression disappeared. Then its body began to disperse, gradually turning into a milky white ball of light the size of a knuckle.
Xu You was overjoyed. Although the Spiritual Consciousness Thorn was far from as easy to kill as the Dream-Breaking Blade, it was enough to deal with the Yin Spirit.
He immediately shouted loudly: "Don't use lightning or fireball to attack Yin spirits. Just use Spiritual Consciousness Thorn, which can save spiritual power."
At this moment, most of the people's spiritual power has been consumed. Many of the disciples in the middle stage of the spiritual body have even begun to take the Yuan-Building Pill. Seeing that the Yin spirits are still endless, they are secretly complaining. When they hear Xu You's voice, they are all shocked.
"Xu You, do you want to kill everyone? Hall Master Lei just made it clear that we should try not to use spiritual attacks. If someone is possessed by a Yin spirit, can you be responsible?" Suddenly, an angry voice sounded.
, none other than Feng Chen.
When he said this, some of the disciples who had just wanted to try it immediately hesitated. Although Xu You's combat prowess ranked first among the core disciples, after all, he could not be compared with Hall Master Lei.
Xu You sneered and said nothing. The spiritual consciousness thorn in the middle stage of the spiritual body shot out again, hitting another Yin spirit that rushed towards him.
The Yin spirit froze for an instant, and then began to quickly dissipate, turning into the most original Yin-cold energy.
At this time, the eyes of many disciples were focused on him, and they were shocked when they saw this scene.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing, Xu You doesn't need to speak, he just needs to do it, and people will naturally be convinced.
Several of the disciples who responded quickly followed the instructions and released their spiritual consciousness thorns. Sure enough, before those Yin spirits could pounce on them, they froze in mid-air and slowly dissipated.
"Xu You is right. It really works. Spiritual Consciousness Sting is much more effective than lightning and fireball, and it doesn't consume spiritual power."
"Great, my spiritual power has been consumed a lot. If I use the spiritual consciousness thorn, I think I can still sustain it for a longer time."
"Damn it, Feng Chen, you are the one who wants to kill us. If Xu You hadn't demonstrated it on the spot, we would have almost believed your lies."
"Thankfully I didn't listen to you, otherwise we would be doomed."
All the disciples tried it one after another, and when they saw the effect, they were surprised and happy. Some of the disciples were impatient and even yelled at Feng Chen.
Feng Chen's face was extremely ugly and he couldn't say a word, but he no longer used lightning and fireball techniques, but instead used spiritual consciousness stab attacks.
Xu You sneered and teased: "Since Brother Feng doesn't believe me, why bother using the Spiritual Knowledge Thorn and continue to use your fireball and thunder skills?"
"That's right." As soon as he finished speaking, some of his dissatisfied disciples immediately spoke up, "I guess Brother Feng's spiritual power is so profound that he doesn't care about the consumption. He can use the thunder and lightning technique to eliminate all these evil spirits."
Feng Chen's face was ashen, but he couldn't say a word because of his injustice. His hatred for Xu You almost reached the extreme.
"Everyone should stop attacking each other at this time. We are surrounded by Yin spirits, and we should work together to fight out. If anyone wants to affect unity, it will be detrimental to everyone." Suddenly, Fang Hui's faint voice sounded.
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they immediately stopped saying anything and began to kill the Yin spirits with all their strength.
Xu You sneered secretly. Fang Hui's words seemed reasonable, but he was actually trying to save Feng Chen. Otherwise, why didn't Fang Hui speak when Feng Chen attacked him just now?
"How did you find out? The spiritual consciousness thorn is really useful." Lei Qinglan's voice of surprise sounded in his heart.
"I discovered it when we were at the river, but Hall Master Lei said at that time that it was best not to use spirit stones to attack, so I didn't say anything more." Xu You suggested calmly.
Lei Qinglan was shocked and said thoughtfully: "You mean, Hall Master Lei deliberately refused to let us use it?"
"I don't know if he did it on purpose." Xu You said, "But with his cultivation level, he should know that the spiritual consciousness thorn is definitely more effective than the fireball technique and the lightning technique, and haven't you noticed? We have run so far,
Hall Master Lei hasn’t caught up yet.”
Lei Qinglan's delicate body trembled again. She had been nervously dealing with Yin Ling just now and had no time to think about these things. Now after Xu You's reminder, she couldn't help but doubt in her heart.
"No, it shouldn't be. There is no need for Hall Master Lei to deceive us." She hesitated, but still shook her head, "Xu You, are you overthinking? Maybe Hall Master Lei can follow us when we reach the spiritual pool."
Xu You sighed secretly and said nothing.
He also understands Lei Qinglan, because he has no feelings for the Lei family, so he can look at the problem from an objective point of view, but Lei Qinglan is of the Lei family after all, so it is not easy for her to believe that Lei Fengxing set a trap.
Since Spiritual Consciousness Sting is much easier to use than the Thunderbolt and Fireball Techniques and saves spiritual energy, the disciples moved forward much faster. They continued straight ahead, and in less than half an hour, they had already traveled more than ten miles.
But the terrain ahead became more and more complex, and the cold atmosphere became heavier and heavier, but there was no trace of the spiritual pool.
Moreover, there were more and more powerful Yin spirits, and eventually, all of them were Yin spirits with solid bodies as big as Chenghi. Even huge Yin spirits that could attack with sound waves also appeared one after another.
Fortunately, the spiritual consciousness thorn attack was quite effective, and no one suffered any more casualties. But even so, it was still full of dangers.
If Xu You hadn't secretly used the Dream Broken Blade to kill those giant ghosts first, everyone would have suffered heavy casualties.
After reaching this point, even the dullest disciple realized something was wrong.
Finally, in a cave with relatively few Yin spirits, the disciples stopped while using their spiritual consciousness to resist.
"Hall Master Lei hasn't caught up yet, and we can't find the spiritual pool. What should we do now?" A disciple asked with a pale face.
"Did we go in the wrong direction? The terrain of this cave is too complicated. There are not only many forked roads, but also many underground caves. Without the guidance of Hall Master Lei, we will definitely get lost." Another disciple asked doubtfully.
"But Hall Master Lei said that you can see the spiritual pool if you keep walking forward, and that's what we did." One of the disciples said.
"How do you know you are walking in a straight line? How many caves have we passed? We may have deviated from the direction long ago." Another disciple retorted.
Everyone was attacking Yin Ling back to back, and at the same time they were saying one thing to another. Everyone had different opinions and seemed extremely confused.
"Everyone, shut up." Lei Fang roared loudly, which immediately made everyone's ears buzz, and there was silence for an instant.
"What time has it been and you are still arguing." Lei Fang looked ugly, "What we have to do now is to get out of danger as soon as possible. There are only three ways in front of us. The first is to return the same way. The second is to return to the original road.
Second, stick here and wait until Hall Master Lei catches up and finds us. Third, we continue to move forward and see if we can find the spiritual pool."
Xu You sighed secretly. With Lei Fang's mind, he still believed in the existence of the spiritual pool. This shows what other disciples would think.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Each of these three paths made sense, but none of them was easy to choose, so they couldn't help but hesitate.
"Fang Hui, what do you think?" Lei Fang looked at Fang Hui first. Although Xu You was the most powerful, he was the youngest and lacked experience, so he was not as good as Fang Hui, an old boy who had been practicing abroad for many years.
