Night fell, and the forest sank into a deathly stillness, without even the chirp of insects to be heard.
Zhu Xi stood up. In her left hand she carried an oil lamp, and in her right she gripped a sword, nervously sweeping her gaze around her.
Suddenly.
She heard the sound of wind. She instinctively turned her head to look, and then wind came from another direction as well. Before she could turn, the sound of wind rose from every direction.
A gale, mixed with leaves, rushed straight into her face, startling her so badly her eyes flew wide.
Far away in Third Medicine Valley, Gu An watched this scene and did not intervene.
Zhu Xi was no match at all for someone in the Scattered Immortal Realm. After suffering the other party's attack, she instantly lost consciousness.
The one who attacked her was a female Heavenly Demon who wanted to seize her body. But as soon as her soul drilled into Zhu Xi, the female Heavenly Demon suddenly sensed a terrifying devouring force.
The female Heavenly Demon instinctively wanted to escape, but only part of her soul-body managed to fly out. The lower half of her soul-body was sucked fast and could not be pulled free.
Gu An watched with a raised brow. Just how much spiritual energy had Zhu Xi swallowed?
This fellow was only twenty-three. No matter how much spiritual energy she had devoured, it should not have been enough to shake a Scattered Immortal.
Could it be that she was hiding an even greater secret?
No matter how the female Heavenly Demon struggled, she could not break free from the devouring power inside Zhu Xi. Before long, she was devoured by Zhu Xi.
Zhu Xi then collapsed to the ground, and the forest returned to calm.
