Chapter 88 All Parties Gather
A moment later, a strange mist drifted silently into the tranquil cave.
The wisps of smoke quickly spread, making Lin Qingxue's vision increasingly blurry.
Lin Qingxue's heart tightened. Although she had never faced the Mist Monster before, her junior sister and the others' vivid descriptions had already left a deep impression on her.
At that moment, she knew she had fallen into the hands of this mysterious and unpredictable mist monster.
As soon as the thought crossed my mind, a host of questions arose.
No wonder her senior brothers and sisters couldn't find her; they originally thought the bottom of the cliff was just a place overrun by monsters.
Who would have thought that such a cleverly concealed creature was hiding there? Even more surprisingly, it had an accomplice.
Having stumbled into such a dangerous situation by sheer chance, it's unclear whether Junior Sister and the others have noticed her disappearance.
Lin Qingxue knew that the Mist Monster could speak human language, so she simply kept her lips tightly shut and watched coldly to see how it planned to deal with her.
Unexpectedly, what came into view was a fierce confrontation between the mist monster and the ferocious beast, with both sides emitting sharp and piercing roars.
The mist monster's figure appeared and disappeared in the mist, like a fleeting shadow.
The monster's body was tense, and its heavy breathing echoed in the cave.
Lin Qingxue was filled with surprise. Could it be that this mist monster was actually proficient in the "language" of demonic beasts?
Judging from their gesturing, Lin Qingxue, with her intelligence, began to speculate.
Judging from this, the Mist Monster seemed extremely dissatisfied with the monster's reckless actions, and it seemed to be scolding it for capturing the wrong person.
"Could it be that their original target was actually Junior Sister?"
Lin Qingxue pondered to herself, and a wave of fear washed over her.
"Luckily, it was me who was captured. If my junior sister had suffered the same fate, the team would have lost a major member."
Upon further reflection, he realized his junior sister's exceptional agility and high spiritual power.
She was also certain that even if the demon beasts intended to capture her, her junior sister would be able to escape unscathed, and might even turn the tables on them, making the demon beasts suffer the consequences.
Thinking of this, a strange power, like a warm current, slowly flowed through her body, dispelling some of the fear and gloom, and Lin Qingxue straightened her spine.
"Hey, what do you want with me?"
Unable to suppress her suspicions any longer, Lin Qingxue asked in a clear voice.
This sudden question startled the Mist Monster, causing it to freeze briefly in the mist.
After a moment, the mist slowly turned, as if turning its head to look at her.
"I didn't catch you. The calf has the wrong animal. Don't worry, I'll have it take you back later."
Lin Qingxue was completely stunned, her mind filled with the terrifying rumors her junior sister had mentioned about the Mist Monster's ruthless killing.
The current situation is truly perplexing.
Did it suddenly have a change of heart? Or was it harboring malicious intentions and deliberately lowering her guard?
In any case, since they're willing to strike up a conversation, we shouldn't miss this opportunity.
"Can you communicate with it?" Lin Qingxue followed up with a question.
The Mist Monster remained silent for a moment, as if lost in distant memories, before speaking softly:
“I grew up at the bottom of this cliff since I was a child. The animals at the bottom of the cliff raised me, but one time I ignored their advice and climbed up from the bottom of the cliff…”
His voice trailed off, as if he had something difficult to say.
Lin Qingxue's curiosity was piqued, and she was eager to know what would happen next.
They were even more eager to find out what this mysterious gourd was up to, hoping to find a way to escape.
Unfortunately, the Mist Monster stopped speaking, as if lost in memories.
Lin Qingxue noticed that although the calf's massive body seemed somewhat relaxed, its thick limbs were still poised to strike.
Suddenly, the calf kicked off the ground with all four hooves, its broad hooves digging fiercely into the cave floor, raising clouds of dust.
The mane on its neck stood on end, and it let out a series of hoarse roars, like sharp alarms echoing through the dark cave.
Lin Qingxue was overjoyed, instinctively assuming that her junior sister and the others had come to rescue her.
Overwhelmed with excitement, his eyes welled up with tears, filled with anticipation for his imminent return to freedom.
However, things are unpredictable, and unexpected changes can occur at any moment.
The cramped cave was instantly filled with several dazzling sword lights, their intersecting rays resembling a net of light woven from sharp blades.
The group that led the way was a group of unfamiliar cultivators, dressed in different clothes, with cold expressions and surging spiritual energy.
Lin Qingxue had a bad feeling and didn't care about anything else. She quickly crouched down and hid in a corner of the cave.
She knew very well that she was just a cultivator specializing in alchemy, focusing on alchemy and pharmacology, and had no practical experience.
Faced with this dangerous scene of flashing swords and shadowy figures, they were utterly powerless to resist, and even self-preservation became a problem.
Her eyes darted around anxiously and warily, and then she spotted the cultivator she had met once before, who had questioned her aggressively before turning and fleeing in panic.
At that moment, the cultivator also spotted her, and his face turned bright red as if he had discovered a rare treasure.
He excitedly reached out and gestured in her direction to guide the leader, muttering indistinct words under his breath.
Ma Ruiyu looked in the direction Zhou Mo pointed and then noticed Lin Qingxue's presence.
Seeing Zhou Mo's agitated state, they assumed it was because his injuries had not yet healed and he was having difficulty controlling his emotions.
So he gently advised, "Junior brother, don't get agitated. I saw it. Your injuries haven't healed yet, so please don't let your emotions fluctuate so much."
In Ma Ruiyu's eyes, Lin Qingxue was indeed beautiful and refined, with a gentle and graceful temperament.
But as cultivators, what we should pursue is the supreme peak of cultivation, transcending the mortal realm and entering sainthood. How can we be greedy for superficial appearances?
But Zhou Mo was extremely anxious. Seeing that Ma Ruiyu had completely misunderstood his meaning, he was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet on the spot.
He asked, "Fellow Daoist, what brings you here all alone?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue pointed to the still menacing beast and explained softly, "I was captured by it."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mo seemed to have finally found an outlet for his emotions. Ignoring his still-healing injuries, he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"She's in cahoots with this evil cultivator!"
The sound echoed in the cave, instantly bringing the atmosphere to a tense peak.
"No, don't accuse me wrongly," Lin Qingxue defended herself.
The cultivators who entered all looked at Ma Ruiyu, since he was the leader after all.
"Fellow Daoist, may I ask which sect you belong to? And what is your name?"
Lin Qingxue felt that it was right for her junior sister to have chosen a stage name in advance, as it would prevent her from being targeted for revenge.
"White lotus".
"Bai He? Do you know a nun named Bai Qiang?"
Just as Lin Qingxue was about to answer, a voice came from outside the cave.
"Of course, Bai He is my seventh senior sister."
It was Gao Huohuo and his four companions who entered. Now everyone was present.
"Seventh Senior Sister, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I was just wrongly accused by this cultivator of being in cahoots with evil cultivators."
When Gao Huohuo saw that it was actually him, and that he seemed to know Ma Ruiyu, things became complicated.
"Fellow Daoist Ma, this is my seventh senior sister. I specifically called her over to treat Li Kaide, who was previously infected."
"Who knows if you killed the person? It all depends on your word."
Hearing this, everyone frowned, after all, Bai Qiang had fought alongside them.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I'm really sorry, this is my junior brother from the Lingyi Sect, Zhou Mo."
He was injured before and is currently somewhat disoriented.
