Chapter 208 Enemy Attack
Finally, after half an hour of haggling, Ye Danqing and his two companions exchanged 50,000 high-grade spirit stones, 20 bottles of high-level spirit-restoring pills, five rare spirit plants, and five extremely rare magic treasures for a Seven-Colored Lotus.
Looking at the dazzling Seven-Colored Lotus in his hand, Ye Danqing's feelings were extremely complicated, while Qin Xiu and Ning Wanshuang's faces were ashen.
Although they obtained the Seven-Colored Lotus, they had practically given up everything they had, so it would be strange if they were happy now!
Ye Danqing turned to look at Su Luo and the others, and found them happily dividing up the items, which immediately struck him as extremely irritating.
"Let's go back; we need to get going early tomorrow."
After saying that, Ye Danqing left without looking back.
Qin Xiu followed closely behind, but after a few steps he saw Ning Wanshuang still staring in that direction, so he frowned and urged her on.
"Junior Sister Ning, let's go quickly."
Upon hearing this, Ning Wanshuang reluctantly withdrew her gaze from Lin Ji, sighing inwardly that it was a pity he was already taken, before leaving with Qin Xiu.
Bai Jinyan also shifted his gaze from Feng Xiyue and smiled at Gu Changhuai and Qin Zheng, saying, "Then let's go back too."
The two nodded, said goodbye to Su Luo and the others, and left together.
Watching the group's departing figures, Su Luo's eyes lit up, and she suddenly had a great idea. So she asked, "What do you think? Should we sell some more Seven-Colored Lotus?"
The group of people were taken aback.
Are you still selling them?
"Who are you selling it to?"
Su Luo gestured with her chin forward, a rather malicious smile on her face. "Sell it to them. Just think about it, we've already gained so much from selling just one Seven-Colored Lotus to the Tianyi Sect. If we were to sell it to the other sects, then..."
Su Luo didn't say what came next, but her words were like a wake-up call, and everyone's eyes lit up immediately.
Chu Wenqing hugged the spirit stones, almost dancing with excitement. "Yes! Besides Tianyi Sect, we can sell them to other sects. Anyway, we have plenty of Seven-Colored Lotus!"
Feng Xiyue clapped her hands, her little abacus clattering as she calculated, "The Seven-Colored Lotus is a rare find, only once in a thousand years. If we're willing to sell, they definitely will! Yes, then we'll sell the lowest quality Seven-Colored Lotus and make a fortune!"
Song Qiao nodded emphatically, "Yes, yes! Sell the poor quality ones, keep the good quality ones!"
He remembered that his master had been coveting the flying divine boat of Shuqiu Pavilion for a long time. He would use a Seven-Colored Lotus to exchange for the divine boat and give it to his master and uncles to use!
Having reached a consensus, Su Luo's smile became even more malicious. She beckoned with her index finger, drawing everyone closer to listen, "This is what I'm thinking. After we get out, we'll do this... and then that..."
The more Chu Wenqing and the other two listened, the brighter their eyes became, and they kept giving Su Luo a thumbs up.
"High! It's really high!"
Lin Ji remained silent, simply watching Su Luo's mischievous grin, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with doting affection and tenderness. He thought to himself, "Su Luo is so adorable when she's scheming against others!"
…………
The night was deep, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and a thick fog gradually rose, enveloping the entire oasis and making it appear rather eerie.
No one noticed a large horde of vengeful spirits rushing towards the oasis under the cover of night. At the same time, the ground outside the oasis began to tremble slightly, and then one skeleton after another emerged from the ground. These skeletons all staggered towards the oasis, their skeletal forms not hindering their speed.
At this moment, apart from the disciples left by various sects to keep watch, everyone else in the oasis had gone to rest.
The same applies to Su Luo and the others.
However, not long after, the Soul-Devouring Beast lying at Su Luo's feet suddenly opened its eyes, and the eerie blue flames in its empty eyes shone with a cold light.
The next moment, Su Luo and Lin Ji suddenly opened their eyes.
Su Luo woke up because she had suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation while she was asleep. As the master of the Soul Devouring Beast, she sensed the beast's restlessness and unease.
Lin Ji did so because he keenly sensed a hint of danger.
"Meow~"
Noticing that Su Luo had sat up straight, the Soul-Devouring Beast cried out and then nimbly jumped onto her shoulder, rubbing its head against Su Luo's face.
Su Luo stroked its head silently to soothe it, and took out the Demon-Scorching Stone to check her surroundings. However, the surroundings were completely silent, and there was nothing unusual. But for some reason, she felt even more uneasy.
Turning her head, Su Luo saw that Lin Ji had also sat up, and quickly asked, "Why did you get up too?"
Lin Ji was staring straight in one direction. Upon hearing this, he frowned and said, "I sense danger."
As he spoke, he immediately released his divine sense to check the situation, and then his expression changed. "A large number of vengeful spirits are approaching this place, and there are also many skeletons rushing this way!"
"What?!" Su Luo was immediately taken aback.
No wonder the Soul-Eating Beast was so agitated; it turns out that vengeful spirits and an army of skeletons have arrived!
Su Luo's shocked voice was so loud that it woke up the other three.
Chu Wenqing rubbed her eyes, feeling incredibly sleepy. "Why are you two up already? It's not even dawn yet, you could have slept a little longer..."
Lin Ji stood up, slapped him on the forehead, and said irritably, "If you keep sleeping, you'll die here. Get up now!"
"Ow!"
Chu Wenqing's head throbbed with pain from the slap, and he clutched his head, howling in pain. His drowsiness vanished completely.
Upon hearing Lin Ji's words, Feng Xixi and Song Qiao immediately lost their sleepiness and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Fa, what happened?"
"Both the Soul-Devouring Beast and Lin Ji sensed the danger. A large number of vengeful spirits and skeletons are rushing this way, and they will probably surround the entire oasis soon!"
While quickly explaining, Su Luo got up to check the protective array she had drawn.
The three of them immediately changed their expressions.
"what?!"
"W-How come there are so many vengeful spirits and skeletons?!"
"Yes! We didn't go out, and we certainly didn't provoke any vengeful spirits! How could this be?!"
After confirming that there were no problems with the protective array, Su Luo breathed a slight sigh of relief and then said, "I don't know the specific reason either, but the situation is critical right now, and we need to prepare quickly!"
"That's right, that's right! We need to prepare!"
Chu Wenqing and Song Qiao nodded repeatedly, stood up, and took out their weapons.
Feng Xiyue glanced ahead subconsciously, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned and walked outside. "I'll go and inform the others!"
Although there are frictions between the major sects, she would find it difficult to be at ease if she were to deliberately conceal information.
Su Luo grabbed Feng Xi Feng Yue and quickly said before she could speak, "We definitely need to notify her, but we need to do it in a different way."
After saying that, she took out a talisman from her storage bag and threw it into the sky. Instantly, thunder roared and the sound was deafening.
The thunder startled everyone awake, and they all got up at once.
"What's going on? There's thunder?!"
"That thunder was so loud!"
At that moment, someone with sharp eyes noticed the talisman that hadn't yet dissipated in the sky and exclaimed in surprise, "It's a Thunderclap Talisman!"
The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.
"Why would someone use a Thunderclap Talisman so late at night?"
"I remember the Thunderclap Talisman is a high-grade talisman, right? Who's so extravagant as to use a Thunderclap Talisman!"
Some people were very angry, "Who is so rude?! Using a thunder talisman to scare people in the middle of the night!"
Ye Danqing and Qin Xiuzheng stared blankly at the gradually dissipating thunder talisman in the sky, their expressions changing repeatedly.
Others might not know, but they could immediately guess that the Thunderclap Talisman was used by Su Luo! But why would Su Luo suddenly wake everyone up with a Thunderclap Talisman so late at night?
Just then, a calm but incredibly loud female voice came from behind.
"Attention everyone! There are large numbers of vengeful spirits and skeletons surrounding the oasis. They will be attacking soon! Please take precautions and prepare for battle! Attention everyone..."
The sound stopped after being repeated twice, but these words caused a huge uproar.
"What?! A large number of vengeful spirits and skeletons have arrived?"
"How is this possible?! Isn't this oasis safe?!"
"Who was that just now? The voice sounded familiar..."
Ye Zheng reacted the fastest.
She recognized Su Luo's voice and believed that Su Luo would never lie to her on purpose, so she turned around and shouted, "Everyone from the Wind Shadow Sect, listen up! Everyone, form pairs, cooperate with each other, take precautions, and be ready to respond to any attacks!"
As the eldest disciple, Ye Zheng had almost never made a wrong decision, so the disciples of the Fengying Sect trusted her completely. They immediately responded and began preparations without hesitation.
Ye Danqing hesitated for a second, but ultimately chose to trust Su Luo and turned to instruct the disciples of Tianyi Sect to prepare.
However, unlike the united Fengying Sect, the disciples of Tianyi Sect looked at each other and hesitated.
Was that Su Luo's voice just now? Why would she kindly remind them? Was she just playing a trick on them?!
Gu Changhuai and Bai Jinyan exchanged a glance, then leaped from the ground onto a century-old tree not far away. They then released illumination talismans into the sky, instantly making the surroundings as bright as day.
When the two saw the vengeful spirits and skeleton army that had surrounded them from only two hundred meters away, their expressions changed drastically.
Before they could even climb down from the tree, the two shouted, "Enemy attack! Everyone, get ready!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a female disciple in the crowd suddenly screamed. Her face was deathly pale as she stared straight in one direction, her whole body trembling.
"Wraiths! There are vengeful spirits all around!"
The crowd erupted in uproar, and everyone instinctively looked around, only to find vengeful spirits constantly emerging from the surrounding woods, followed by a ferocious and terrifying army of skeletons!
