First Volume Chapter 237: I See Your Hall of Prayer Is Dark (25)

She pulled a talisman from her pocket and quietly dropped it.

The yellow talisman was hidden in the dim light, stopped among those people and released.

Within a minute, their bodies became unbearably itchy; they couldn't help scratching, yet they couldn't stop the itch.

Jiang Zhi, watching from behind, curled the corner of her mouth and snorted.

"I can help Xiao Zhi kill them." Yun Jin's voice fell beside her ear.

Jiang Zhi shook her head: "No need."

Those people are still useful; it's not yet time for them to get their boxed meals.

However, dealing with that big villain will surely result in a loss.

Yun Jin felt a bit regretful: "Alright, if you change your mind, remember to tell me."

Jiang Zhi couldn't be bothered to respond to him.

The higher they climbed toward the summit, the heavier the yin energy became.

The reading on the detector had already reached 76%.

This shows how powerful the evil spirit on the summit is.

They were tense and vigilantly observed their surroundings.

Until the black mist blurred their vision, all sound around them vanished, leaving only each other's breathing.

"Captain... Captain??"

"Where are you guys?"

But no one responded to their words.

Jiang Zhi likewise couldn't even see Yun Jin's shadow—this black mist is strong.

Finally, she no longer had to be stuck to that guy.

After going up the mountain, she had been watching the male lead's movements; her mission was to protect him, and finally assist him in saving the world—she couldn't afford to lose him.

Jiang Zhi pinched a tracking talisman, took a few steps, and saw Yu Ze standing in place, eyes closed, resting.

"Captain Yu."

Yu Ze heard the voice, opened his eyes, and upon seeing her looked somewhat surprised: "Celestial Master Jiang's tracking talisman is impressive."

This is a formation deployed by the evil spirit; once triggered, everyone will become lost in the black mist, unable to escape.

He had been trying to find a way to break it, never expecting that government personnel would locate him.

Jiang Zhi put away the talisman and asked: "Captain Yu, can you break this formation?"

Yu Ze shook his head: "Not yet."

So if we wait a bit longer, he'll be able to break it? Jiang Zhi wasn't in a hurry either; she sat down at the base of a nearby tree to wait.

Yu Ze said: "You are the most talented person I've ever seen in the field of talismans."

Not even he himself compares to her.

Jiang Zhi spoke with a sarcastic tone: "It's not that Captain Yu's subordinates are any better—my senior brother is only slightly weaker in talismans, yet you all mock him to the point he can't even lift his head."

The male lead walking ahead surely heard those teammates' conversation, yet he didn't stop them, which doesn't fit his holy father persona.

Yu Ze let out a long sigh: "I'm not close with those people, and they look down on me; if I spoke up to stop them, they'd only become worse."

Having said that, he spoke earnestly: "Sorry for causing you trouble."

Jiang Zhi said no more.

Suddenly, a damp, cold breath blew past her ear; a familiar voice sounded, carrying a hint of danger.

"Xiao Zhi threw me aside, turns out she wanted to be with someone else."

Jiang Zhi's spine stiffened, and she gave a blunt explanation: "Just happened to run into you—believe it or not, whatever."

Yun Jin wanted to shut that infuriating mouth, but the girl quickly raised her hand to block it, her thin lips kissing the back of her hand.

Before he could get angry, Jiang Zhi said: "Not now! I'll give you a kiss later when we go back."

Yun Jin's complexion improved a bit, and he wouldn't let her escape, imprisoning her waist.

The man's voice was dangerously sexy: "I still want to indulge myself on Xiao Zhi."

Jiang Zhi: "……"

Afraid he'd cause trouble again, she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay."

A flash of triumphant gloom crossed Yun Jin's eyes as he buried his face in the side of her neck and inhaled deeply.

Not far away, Yu Ze couldn't sense the man's presence at all, nor could he see him.

Seeing her complexion wasn't good, he asked kindly: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing him about to walk over to his death, Jiang Zhi stood up, stepped back, and replied: "I'm fine; can the formation be broken now?"

Yu Ze clearly saw the resistance in her eyes—why does she dislike herself? Is it because of his teammates?

He lowered his gaze and said: "It's done."

Having said that, he raised his hand and cast a spell at the black mist.

"Break."

In an instant, the black mist before them dispersed, and everyone remained in their original positions.

Jiang Zhi returned to the group, and Wang Xiaolin asked worriedly: "Xiao Zhi, are you all right?"

"I'm fine," she said calmly.

This little incident over, they continued up the mountain.

As they neared the summit, Yun Jin warned: "Watch your back."

Jiang Zhi looked at him in surprise, never expecting him to be so kind as to remind her.

The man's appearance was flawless like a heavenly god; up close he didn't look like a villain, more like a god pitying all beings, yet his demon-like smile was horrifying, extremely dangerous and full of malice.

How could I bear to watch you die?

Jiang Zhi withdrew their gaze, still a pervert, not changed in the slightest.

As he said.

Dense demons appeared behind them, swarming forward to devour them all.

Jiang Zhi had long prepared, throwing out more than ten talismans, and said to the nearby Wang Xiaolin: 'Senior brother, you must stop them from going up the mountain!'

Wang Xiaolin responded, drawing the Money Sword and blocking at the front with utmost speed, instantly slaying several demons.

The team members were already accustomed to the captain's behavior, all taking out their weapons to fight.

Yu Ze's group ahead had never seen such fast swordsmanship; the damage was huge, and the front-line demons, in Wang Xiaolin's eyes, seemed as easy to cut down as mud.

They even mocked him for dragging them down, and their faces swelled up.

Yu Ze's gaze fell on the girl controlling the talismans in the rear; after a moment, they issued the command.

"Split up, go help!"

The demons on the mountain were countless; killing one after another, they soon exhausted themselves.

Wang Xiaolin at the front showed no reduction in strength, as if having inexhaustible energy.

Jiang Zhi saw his wounds of various sizes, raised their hand to release a barrier, temporarily blocking the surging demons.

She said: 'Senior brother, rest a moment.'

Wang Xiaolin exhaled, stopped moving, swayed as if about to fall, and sat on the ground to tend to his wounds.

All team members were wounded, their spiritual energy depleted, and they all sat cross-legged on the ground to rest.

The barrier couldn't hold long; Jiang Zhi's forehead beaded with fine cold sweat as they stared at the demons outside.

Yun Jin gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and whispered: 'Zhizhi, if you only ask me, I will dispel these demons.'

Jiang Zhi stared straight ahead: 'If you're not by my side, who else could help me?'

Danger does not always bring someone to help one through it. She had experienced so many worlds, already accustomed to relying on her own strength.

Moreover, the man beside them is a demon; receiving his help is not a good thing.

Yun Jin brushed back her black hair, eyes gentle: 'I've said before, if you agree to stay by my side, I will free you from the Main God's control, and you will never encounter danger again.'

Jiang Zhi bluntly: 'No.'

Yun Jin was not in a hurry, firmly saying: 'You will agree.'

Jiang Zhi tugged at the corner of their mouth: 'You still don't understand me.'
