The screams within the colourful light mist made all the cultivators shudder.
The screaming did not last long, and soon it fell silent again. Mo Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart.
The density of the light mist was not high, so he could clearly see the figures of those cultivators inside.
He saw that these people had all stopped moving, very strangely suspended above the river surface, motionless.
“Pop…”
Suddenly, the colourful mushroom in the centre of the river shook, and another wave of colourful light mist rippled out.
This light mist spread like water waves, diffusing rapidly in ripples to the surroundings, at a speed dozens of times faster than before!
On the riverbank, all the cultivators were already prepared, using various methods, either forming hand seals to cast protective shield spells, or using the treasure light of magical treasures to protect themselves.
Mo Fan did the same, having long surrounded his body with the Soul Devouring Banner, forming a protective wall with ghostly qi, protecting himself 360 degrees.
As the colourful light mist once again affected those puppet-like figures, the cultivators above the river surface finally moved!
But this time, they did not continue flying towards the colourful mushroom, but turned around uniformly and flew towards the cultivators on the shore.
“What is going on?”
“Why are these people all coming back?”
The group of cultivators on the riverbank frowned, not understanding.
In the Heavenly Star Holy Land, the handsome young man narrowed his eyes upon seeing this, because among these returning cultivators were disciples of the Heavenly Star Holy Land.
“Junior Sister Li’er, I remember you have a good relationship with the inner sect disciples. You go and ask those inner sect disciples why they are returning.”
The young man spoke to a female cultivator beside him.
This female cultivator was one of his admirers, a core disciple. Although her status was not as high as his as a direct disciple, in the eyes of the inner and outer sect disciples, she was already like a senior sister.
“Senior Brother Yaoguang, will there be danger?”
The female cultivator first frowned, then could not help looking at the young man.
After all, the situation at this time was really too strange, anyone could see that those returning people were very wrong.
“There is danger, but it should not put you in deep peril.”
Yaoguang smiled as he spoke, his speaking speed always unhurried, with a magical power that calmed people’s hearts after listening.
“You can go with peace of mind. Do not forget, you are a core disciple of the sect!”
“No matter how those inner sect disciples change, they cannot be your opponents!”
“Alright, Senior Brother, I will go now!”
The female cultivator felt greatly reassured upon hearing this, nodded immediately, then set off flying forward, welcoming those returning cultivators.
Regarding this scene, the Third Elder of the Heavenly Star Holy Land had no opinion. He, who had not spoken from beginning to end, suddenly asked, “Yaoguang, what do you think is wrong with them?”
As soon as these words came out, all the cultivators of the Heavenly Star Holy Land looked at Yaoguang.
“Reporting to Elder, I guess they have been controlled!”
Yaoguang slowly spoke, expressing his thoughts: “I have heard that there are some special demons in the world that cannot transform into human form throughout their lives, but they are born with wisdom and possess very terrifying methods.
And most of these demons are in plant form!”
“Your thoughts coincide with this old man’s!”
The Third Elder smiled upon hearing this, then swept his gaze over the disciples and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, do not slack off. Each of you cast your protective treasure light to isolate your body from the air. Absolutely do not let those colourful light mists touch you!”
Not only the Heavenly Star Holy Land did this, the other major forces also made similar actions, sending disciples to investigate the situation.
The female cultivator named Li’er was a powerful cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Flying on her sword, she soon arrived in front of the inner sect disciples of her sect and immediately shouted, “What is wrong with you! Why are you returning?”
However, those inner sect disciples did not answer her words, but directly flew towards her, raising their hands to bombard with various spells and magical artefacts!
“Insolent!”
“You inner sect disciples dare to attack me?”
Li’er was furious, raised her hand and cast a Heavenly Star Technique.
She formed hand seals with both hands, and several star shadows condensed behind her. With a point of her finger, those star shadows instantly burst into light, accompanied by deafening booms, smashing towards that group of disciples like meteors!
Boom! Boom! Boom…!
Where the meteors passed, the incoming spells and magical artefacts exploded one after another, finally suppressing that group of inner sect disciples into blood mist.
However, the female cultivator still held back, leaving the life of one disciple, using spiritual power to form ropes to directly bind and drag him back.
Such scenes of internal fighting also played out in several other places, but these rebellious disciples were soon bloodily suppressed.
However, before Li’er and these cultivators could return to their sect’s location, they were swallowed by the subsequently spreading colourful light mist.
But fortunately, with the lesson from before, these cultivators were fully prepared. The shields on their bodies completely isolated the colourful light mist, so they were not greatly affected.
But just at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The blood-coloured creatures on the shore suddenly rioted at this moment, launching fierce attacks towards the cultivators on the shore.
These blood-coloured creatures had no tendency to attack people at first, and they were small in size, almost all fist-sized bees or fan-sized butterflies, so they had never been truly taken seriously by the cultivators.
Thus, this riot immediately caused the major forces to suffer heavy losses.
First were cultivators like Li’er, who were the first to be attacked by these blood-coloured creatures.
The number of blood-coloured creatures was extremely large, coming in swarms. Li’er casually struck out with a large hand seal condensed from spiritual power, but found it had little effect on these blood-coloured creatures.
The defensive power of these little things had reached an astonishing level.
Seeing this, Li’er sacrificed a treasure furnace again, directly blooming with treasure light, instantly collecting a large group of oncoming blood-coloured bees inside.
However, before a smile could appear on her face, the treasure furnace exploded in mid-air, the swarm burst out, and in an instant drowned Li’er.
“Ah!”
“Senior Brother Yaoguang, save me!!”
Li’er’s scream immediately resounded throughout the entire riverbank, making people’s scalps numb.
Seeing this, the young man named Yaoguang frowned slightly, then said with a regretful face, “Junior Sister Li’er used her life to verify the danger for us. We must not let down Junior Sister Li’er’s good intentions!”
“Although the colourful light mist can control cultivators, as long as we protect properly, we will not be affected at all.
So Yaoguang sincerely asks all junior brothers and sisters to join me in taking action, kill these blood-coloured creatures, seize the chi dragon’s fortune, and avenge Junior Sister Li’er!”
After Yaoguang finished speaking, he flew out first. While still in mid-air, a large group of dense starlight flickered behind him.
“Kill!”
His lips parted lightly, and with a point of his finger, countless meteors whistled out!
This time, those fierce blood-coloured creatures lost their previous might. As meteors fell one by one, large patches of blood-coloured creatures were immediately smashed into clusters of blood mist.
This method of summoning meteors with a raise of hand made even Mo Fan look sideways, adding a touch of gravity to his gaze towards Yaoguang.
Indeed, none of the direct disciples of these human super forces were easy to deal with!
Mo Fan also became the target of these blood-coloured creatures at this moment, but he hid in the Soul Devouring Banner at the first moment.
After losing the target, those blood-coloured creatures gradually dispersed, saving Mo Fan a lot of trouble.
The colourful light mist and blood-coloured creatures only caused certain damage to the major forces at the beginning. After these forces fully understood the relationship, they launched a crushing counterattack. Soon they eliminated all the blood-coloured creatures, then directly crossed the great river and killed towards the blood-coloured chi dragon on the colourful mushroom.
“You group of ugly insects dare to disturb this ancestor from accepting the inheritance. You all deserve to die!”
Finally, the blood-coloured chi dragon no longer remained silent. Its originally prostrate body immediately stood up, its huge pupils coldly looking at the charging cultivators.
The next moment, it struck.
A dragon claw reached out, instantly enlarging dozens of times at a speed visible to the naked eye, directly slapping across the air!
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…!”
The group of cultivators who first flew to the colourful mushroom exploded without warning!
They were directly slapped into clusters of blood mist by the huge dragon claw!
