The corner of Su Jiu's mouth twitched. Only late fifth tier?
Had her senior brother forgotten the Catfish Worm that had tormented them until they nearly ascended to heaven?
The enormous Red Spider Lily ahead seemed to sense something. It suddenly began to sway, red mist spilling from its petals.
Su Jiu knew that even if they remained on the stone path this time, they probably would not escape this calamity.
The red mist kept seeping into the cultivators' bloodstreams. Those with hidden trump cards brought out various Magic Treasures to resist it.
The strand of beads on Su Jiu's wrist was one such Magic Treasure. She felt it shielding her entire body.
The Enforcement Hall Jade Token at Xia Jue's waist was also a protective Magic Treasure.
Shen Qingyue took out a gauzy robe and draped it over herself. The red mist around her immediately veered away.
Some others had their own methods as well.

As the red mist thickened, people gradually began to descend into madness. Tong Qi, too, felt as though his consciousness was about to leave his body.
Su Jiu shoved a Heaven-Clearing Pill straight into his mouth, and only then did Tong Qi feel somewhat better.
Su Jiu and Xia Jue withdrew their bells almost simultaneously. They knew the Sound-Mixing Bells were no longer of much use against this Red Spider Lily, which was on the verge of becoming a sentient spirit.

Su Jiu glanced at the soil beneath the enormous Red Spider Lily, her expression darkening slightly.
Xia Jue sent Su Jiu a voice transmission. "Stay airborne. Don't let your feet touch the soil beneath those flowers."
