Arriving at this village, Lin Mingyuan was shocked by everything in front of him.
In my memory, this place was originally sparsely populated, but the scene at this time was too terrifying. The entire village seemed to have been invaded by fire and turned into ashes.
Lin Mingyuan could feel that there was a faint trace of demonic energy remaining here, and he was extremely sure, because it was exactly the same as the feeling in the eyes of the demon.
His spiritual consciousness swept across the village, and there was no breath of life. It was obvious that the villagers here had died.
Lin Mingyuan's expression was solemn. He didn't expect that the evil spirit had become so serious. If it spread to the vicinity of Shahe Village, wouldn't all life be ruined?
Before he could continue to think, he heard a scream coming from outside the village. The sound was very urgent nearby, and it was obvious that someone had been attacked.
"Oops!"
Lin Mingyuan's consciousness moved and he noticed the monk's aura and an obvious trace of a monster. He quickly set off and rushed over without having time to think about it.
In the mountain forest, a girl with long hair was running desperately, and behind her was a third-level monster, the Sky-Splitting Leopard, hotly pursuing her.
I saw the girl hurriedly throwing out many magic weapons from her arms, but the treasures without the blessing of spiritual energy could not exert their own power. Instead, they were approached by the Fierce Sky Leopard and were about to be knocked down before their eyes.
The girl's face was very panicked, and she was still cursing in a low voice.
"Damn you bastard, run away when you are in danger, leaving my aunt here to escape alone."
"If I see you again, you will be beautiful!"
Unfortunately, her mutterings were of no avail, as the monster quickly came up to her and pressed her down.
"Help!"
She strained her throat to cry for help, her heart already on the verge of despair.
Just when the monster leopard's bloody mouth was about to bite her body, a golden sword light flashed across, and the sky-splitting leopard let out a mournful cry and slammed to the ground beside it, no longer alive.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Mingyuan came to the girl and helped her up. Fortunately, he was fast enough, otherwise he might not have been able to save her.
"The...monster...is dead?"
The girl looked around in disbelief. She cried loudly when she saw the Sky-Splitting Leopard lying on the ground lifeless. She was obviously extremely wronged.
Lin Mingyuan didn't say anything. After all, he had experienced a life and death crisis and really needed to calm down.
After a long time, the girl finally stopped crying, then looked at Lin Mingyuan sheepishly, and finally said hesitantly.
"Thank you so much for saving me!"
Lin Mingyuan smiled faintly. Now that his spiritual consciousness had detected it, there was no reason not to save him. Why did the girl in front of him appear here? The aura exuding from her body also showed the cultivation of the Seventh Heaven. Could it be that she was lost in the mountains and forests?
Found the way?
"Okay, it's just a piece of cake. Why are you here?"
Obviously, this place is very dangerous. Although the foundation-building stage is considered a good level of cultivation among ordinary sects, coming to the Demon Cave is asking for trouble.
"Senior, my name is Pan Tian'er, and I came here with my master to gain experience in slaying demons!"
The girl adjusted her breathing before explaining to Lin Mingyuan, but a look of dissatisfaction immediately appeared on her face.
"On the way, we encountered an attack from a golden elixir stage demon cultivator. The master fought with them and asked me and my senior brother to leave first. Who would have thought..."
"My senior brother and I encountered a monster on the way, but he left me as bait and ran away first. It's really disgusting!"
Pan Tian'er said through gritted teeth, obviously very angry at the senior brother who ran away alone.
Lin Mingyuan nodded and roughly understood her situation.
Pan Tian'er should be a monk from a nearby sect. After receiving the summons, the sect sent a few people to eliminate the demons. However, they were unlucky and encountered a golden elixir-level demon cultivator before they even got there. As a result, the master and apprentice got separated.
He was also betrayed by his senior brother, no wonder he was so angry.
"Senior, are you also here to slay demons in the Demon Cave?"
Pan Tian'er raised her head and looked at Lin Mingyuan. She was pretty and pretty. She was wearing a bright yellow dress. Although she looked a little embarrassed, she could not hide her beauty.
Lin Mingyuan nodded. It seemed that the sects in the Qingyun Mountains didn't understand the horror of demonic cultivation at all. They actually sent foundation-building disciples here as a training exercise in such a childish way. It was really ridiculous.
It was better that he happened to be nearby, otherwise Pan Tian'er might become a dead soul in the mouth of the monster.
"Okay, it's okay. Do you know where the demon slayers gather?"
Lin Mingyuan looked at Pan Tian'er helplessly. He was not very old, and looked two or three years younger than himself. However, judging from the way he just threw magic weapons at the cracked sky leopard, it was obvious that he was not very experienced in the world, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Which sect would trust her to come out?
"Of course I know, senior!"
"You don't need to call me senior, my name is Lin Mingyuan, just call me Brother Lin."
"I know, Brother Lin!"
Pan Tian'er's expression changed rapidly. Just now she looked bitter and resentful, but now she was very well-behaved. It was obvious that Lin Mingyuan was the life-saving straw she grasped.
"Okay, please take me to the meeting point. I'm also from a nearby sect and I'm here to help eliminate the demons."
"good!"
Pan Tian'er agreed abruptly and hugged Lin Mingyuan's arm, as if she was afraid that he would leave her alone.
Lin Mingyuan was also quite helpless. The opponent only had the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage and could not fly. He could only let her grab him and take the green sword with him, and follow Pan Tian'er's guidance.
Not long after, Lin Mingyuan felt many spiritual fluctuations coming from the front. Apparently many monks gathered here, presumably the monks from the Qingyun Mountains who had been summoned to come to the Demon Cave to eliminate demons.
The leader is an old man, who looks like a child with white hair. His cultivation has reached the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Core. He is already considered a top being in the Qingyun Mountains.
He stood in the center of the monks, but his face was full of worry, and he obviously had concerns in his heart.
Next to the old man is a man who is dressed in makeup and has a strong smell of makeup. He holds a folding fan in his hand and is being lectured by the old man.
"I didn't ask you to hide aside and come to pick you up after I finish dealing with the demon cultivators. What's going on now, where's Tian'er!"
The old man's tone was full of anger. It was obvious that Pan Tian'er's disappearance made him very angry. She was the apple of the Lingbo Sect's head.
Originally, the sect leader didn't want Pan Tian'er to go out for training, but he couldn't stand the other party's bullying and even threatened to leave the sect, so he agreed to let Pan Tian'er travel with the deputy leader Zheng Lao, accompanied by Lingbo Sect.
His eldest disciple, Lin Kai.
Who would have thought that Lin Kai would take Pan Tian'er away after his skills disappeared. He had the good sense to find Mr. Zheng, but the sect leader's jewel was missing.
"Deputy Headmaster, the situation was critical at that time. I took the initiative to stop the third-level monster before allowing Tian'er to escape. I thought she had found you long ago, but then... ugh!"
Lin Kai sighed and said, his words full of annoyance and he seemed really guilty.
"snort!"
Mr. Zheng snorted coldly. He still didn't know what Lin Kai's character was. If he didn't have some talent in cultivation, he would have been expelled by Lingbo Sect for what he committed.
"You'd better hope nothing happens, otherwise you'll be good-looking!"
"Deputy Head, this disciple risked his life to protect Tian'er, how can you say that!"
Lin Kai said very aggrievedly that although the yellow-haired girl was quite pretty and he liked her a lot, she was still pushed out by him as a shield when facing danger. She would definitely not survive against a third-level monster.
Just when he was feeling unlucky, a familiar shout suddenly reached his ears.
