Saint Lord Bai Ye fled several thousand miles before discovering that the enemy was not pursuing her. She then activated a secret art and sent out a signal, calling the other disciples to converge on her.
Her heart was still pounding with lingering fear. Demonic souls were formless and invisible; when they harmed cultivators, the clash took place on the level of the soul.
One of the demonic souls she had lost was capable of inflicting soul injuries upon Three Flowers Realm Late Stage cultivators. It had been the one she valued most.
In past battles, unless there was an enormous disparity in cultivation, even if demonic souls could not defeat their opponents, they could still retreat. Thus, no demonic soul had ever died in actual combat.
What frightened her even more was that the demonic soul that had escaped reported an unknown existence capable of devouring them.
Within the demonic souls' perception, the Stone Turtle's existence could not be detected.
Saint Lord Bai Ye did not believe such a claim. Not even a Cave Heaven Star Lord possessed such a method.
This encounter also made her afraid to continue fighting. She had come this far entirely because of her cautious nature and rarely took unnecessary risks.
Although losing three demonic souls made her heart bleed, she understood even more clearly just how great the danger was in fighting an enemy with unknown methods.
Before she understood why the demonic souls had vanished, she would do her utmost to avoid further conflict with the enemy.
If battle became unavoidable, she would also borrow the strength of others to launch the first round of attacks.
Two quarter-hours later, Saint Lord Wan Shi arrived.
"Senior sister, since you changed the meeting place, why is there no sign of Junior Brother Cang Ming?"
