Chapter 2233: Chapter 2233: Medicine Shocks the World (18)

One person with a Guiding Soul Lantern is enough for the group.

However, the Guiding Soul Lantern must be refined through murder to be usable.

So those who hold the lantern have definitely killed someone.

Chuzheng glanced over at Meng Weihan; he didn’t have any Soul Lantern but released a few glowing insects.

"What are those?"

"Calamity Insects."

The voice answering belonged to Jing Po.

Chuzheng tilted her head to look at him, and he softly said, "Calamity Insects are skilled in guiding paths but hard to find."

"Useless here, only we are useful," the Evil Spirit said, inexplicably proud.

Jing Po remained silent.

"Let’s go."

Chuzheng let the Evil Spirit lead the way; there was only one correct path, so the direction they were heading was still correct.

Even those unprepared knew that following the group was the right choice now.

After a distance, Chuzheng still heard that eerie background noise.

The sound bothered Chuzheng; she wanted to switch to another background track.

[...] Do you think this is a karaoke? Requesting songs??

The King’s Account couldn’t help but ridicule, but it couldn’t hold back.

What kind of people are they!

"Ah!"

Screams erupted from the front.

A commotion followed, and someone shouted, "Don’t come over, don’t come over!! I didn’t kill you!!"

That person went insane, wildly swinging weapons, causing the crowd to quickly dodge.

The person suddenly turned away, deviating from their path and slipped through a nearby stone monument, swiftly appearing among numerous ones.

Their screams could vaguely still be heard.

In the next few hundred meters, several more suddenly shouted and ran into the monument forest.

Others silently just veered off the path and couldn’t be stopped.

No one knew what they heard.

Nor would anyone know what they once did.

"Master..." Yan Hongni clutched Meng Weihan’s arm.

"It’s okay, don’t worry," Meng Weihan reassured Yan Hongni, "Stay close to me."

"Okay!" Yan Hongni looked up, displaying admiration.

Chuzheng just happened to see it, and greatly wanted to smack that face into the ground.

It was the original face, equivalent to mine by rounding up!

-

The atmosphere within the team gradually became heavy.

Chuzheng noticed that the first to suffer were those with lesser cultivation levels.

Meaning, the higher the cultivation, the farther one progressed.

Aside from the eerie background noise, Chuzheng hadn’t heard any other sound.

Looking back at Jing Po, he showed no abnormalities either.

"What did you hear?"

"The sound of water." Jing Po replied obediently.

"The sound of water?"

"Yes."

"Any specific meaning?"

Jing Po hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Chuzheng couldn’t determine if Jing Po genuinely didn’t know or was pretending.

His expression most of the time exuded a tardy bewilderment and daze, making it hard for one to detect abnormalities.

"Up ahead seems impassable..."

"It’s all stone monuments here... how do we continue?"

"Is it the same for you guys?"

"It’s all like this..."

Those walking in the front stopped; their Guiding Soul Lanterns urged them to keep moving.

But ahead were stone monuments, barring any passage.

"Clang!"

A large knife reflecting cold light slashed at a stone monument, leaving no mark.

"What are you doing! Stay away!" someone called from the left.

The crowd assumed another had fallen prey, but it turned out not to be the case; someone suddenly emerged from behind the monument, swinging a weapon viciously at the edge of the group.

They recognized this person as one of those who had run off earlier.

"Hey, you’re out of your mind!"

"Watch out!"

"They’re acting strangely!"

"Kill you all, kill you all!!" the person shouted as they attacked.

Their eyes vacant, yet their expression grotesque, looked profoundly dubious.

"Kill you all, and no one will ever know, hahahaha... I’ll kill you all, every one of you!"

It’s evident the person had gone mad; the group had no choice but to retaliate.

But suddenly, it was as if the person had increased their cultivation level; even so many people couldn’t subdue them, suffering several losses.

Meng Weihan didn’t make a move, but the person suddenly attacked towards Yan Hongni.

"Nini, step aside."

Yan Hongni instinctively dodged, glimpsing Chuzheng at the rear, her eyes darting.

Instead of listening to Meng Weihan to evade, she seemed too scared, forgetting to react.

Until the person crashed into Meng Weihan, ferociously lunging forward, Yan Hongni snapped back and quickly ran backward.

Wu Yue quietly warned Chuzheng, "Careful!"

"Squelch—"

The sound of a sharp tool piercing flesh halted Yan Hongni’s escape.

She looked stunned at the person in front of her.

The little girl’s eyes were filled with coldness, her gaze like a frozen lake.

"Nini!!"

Chuzheng watched as Meng Weihan, horrified, lunged to catch Yan Hongni’s collapsing body.

Rotten thing still wants to mess with me! No way! Not a chance in any universe! Hmph!

[Congratulations, miss, on completing the second rewind in this dimension...]

[Loading save point...]

-

"Careful!"

Chuzheng’s vision returned to light, just catching Wu Yue’s cautionary word.

Chuzheng pulled the Good Person Card behind her and kicked Yan Hongni as she approached.

Yan Hongni initially planned to get close to Chuzheng and then dodge, but didn’t expect Chuzheng to be ready to deliver a kick, giving her no chance to evade.

Slammed backward, she collided with the pursuer behind.

The person grabbed Yan Hongni’s arm, smiling sinisterly.

"Kill you! Hahahaha kill!! Kill!! Kill!! Kill!!"

This time Yan Hongni was truly frightened, staring at the weapon swinging toward her.

By the time she attempted to fight back, it was already too late.

"Nini!"

Meng Weihan exclaimed in shock, his body lunging.

Bang—

The person was sent flying by Meng Weihan, but the weapon still hit Yan Hongni’s arm, splattering blood.

"Nini!" Meng Weihan caught Yan Hongni’s body, covering her wound and quickly administering a pill.

"Brother Weihan... it hurts..." Yan Hongni’s face turned pale, clawing with her unharmed hand at Meng Weihan’s garment.

Wu Yue approached from behind, just hearing the "Brother Weihan" from Yan Hongni.

His brow lightly furrowed.

They were master and disciple; why address him like that?

Wu Yue suppressed his doubts, "How bad, is it serious?"

"You all must die!"

The person on the ground got up, recklessly rushing back.

At this moment, more figures emerged from the monuments.

Identical to that person, all yelling to kill them.

One after another...

All those who vanished earlier suddenly appeared here.

These people had significantly increased strength, utterly uncontrollable by them.

"Run!"

The crowd suddenly scattered, darting into the monument forest.

At this moment, survival was the priority; who cared about entering the monument’s consequences.

Those with Soul Lanterns had even less fear; they could rely on them to return to the correct path.

Meng Weihan, worried about Yan Hongni, surprisingly didn’t linger in battle either.

Before leaving, Wu Yue glanced back towards Chuzheng.

Someone lunged at her, the young girl raised her hand, silver flashed from her sleeve, freezing them.
