After walking for some time, she noticed nothing unusual apart from the lightning that struck at her from time to time.
Just then, a bolt of black lightning struck not far from her, immediately followed by screams.
The tremendous thunder frightened Big Treasure into hiding inside the clothes at her chest. Seeing this, Xue Fuyao said, "If you're scared, go back into the Spirit Beast Pouch."
At her words, Big Treasure shook his furry head.
"Squeak, squeak."
"You mean there's something good here, and you don't want to go back?"
"Squeak, squeak." Big Treasure nodded vigorously.
"Fine, suit yourself, you little thing who values money more than life."
Xue Fuyao hesitated, but still changed direction and headed toward the source of the sound, intending to see exactly what was happening over there.
She did not get very close to those people, merely finding a spot where she could see them but they could not see her, and observing from there.
The people who had jumped down one after another before her had split into two groups.
A handsome young man stood together with an ordinary-looking young man, their bearing suggesting a master and servant, while the others stood on the opposite side, watching the pair warily. One person, blackened all over, lay unconscious in the others' arms, seemingly having lost consciousness completely.
"Her meridians have snapped, and her body is filled with all sorts of other things. They're feeding on her cultivation."
Xue Fuyao activated the Heavenly Eye as she looked at the unconscious person, clearly seeing the current state of her body.
The breaks in her meridians looked as though some tremendous force had torn them apart directly, and remnants of lightning power still lingered at the ends, rampaging through her body.
That was not all. Purple bugs now
