Chapter 203: Evil Spirit Temporarily Retreats, A Temporary Alliance

At this moment, inside Blood Wuhen's body, a voice suddenly rang out: "This is my body, get the hell out!"

The violent shock from just now had also delivered a significant impact to the Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit's soul body, causing his suppression of Blood Wuhen to loosen for a split second.

A crack suddenly appeared in the Divine Sense cage imprisoning him.

Blood Wuhen's consciousness sensed the opportunity and quickly condensed his Divine Sense, attempting to resist the suppression.

However, compared to a Quasi-Emperor, his Divine Sense power was still too weak.

After a fierce Divine Sense collision, Blood Wuhen did not succeed in breaking through the shackles.

But although he couldn't regain control over his body, he could interfere with the Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit at critical moments.

"Dead thing, get out! If you have the guts, kill me, otherwise I won't let you have your way!"

Blood Wuhen struggled frantically in the depths of his consciousness.

"Damned ant, you dare resist this seat? You seek death!"

The Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit's face turned blue and white in turns; he was clearly fighting Blood Wuhen for control of the body, preparing to suppress him once again.

At this time, "Blood Wuhen" hovered in mid-air, and the aura on his body showed a brief moment of disorder.

Zhou Chen keenly perceived this and immediately shouted, "Good opportunity, now is the time! Attack with everything we've got!"

The three of them attacked again, their terrifying strikes falling like raindrops onto "Blood Wuhen's" body.

However, most of the attacks were absorbed by the black Qi permeating around him. Although it still couldn't cause him substantial damage, it made the Evil Spirit's situation even worse.

Under the pincer attack from inside and out, Blood Wuhen's resistance became increasingly intense, even starting to affect the Evil Spirit's movements.

"Roar—"

The Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit let out an angry roar. This feeling made him extremely frustrated, but at this moment he also realized that continuing to linger might lead to further complications.

After all, this body wasn't his. If Blood Wuhen truly resisted to the death, it might result in mutual destruction. The Blood Sacrifice Formation was nearing completion, and he couldn't take the risk. Thinking of this, "Blood Wuhen's" figure instantly retreated several hundred meters.

"Very well, you little bugs, this seat has remembered you."

He swept a cold glance over the three of them, and with a flash of his figure, he turned into a streak of bloody light and disappeared into the horizon.

"He… he's just leaving like that?"

Han Li found it hard to believe. Based on his understanding of the Evil Spirit, it was impossible for him to easily give up blood food that was within reach.

"It should be Blood Wuhen's consciousness interfering with him."

Lei Ming analyzed: "It seems this Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit isn't invincible either; at least he can't fully control Blood Wuhen's body. However, if he's allowed to complete the Blood Sacrifice Formation, that would be a different story."

"Regardless, we've managed to escape a disaster."

Lei Ming breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Han Li. "This… Brother Han, was it? Thank you for lending a hand."

"No need for formalities," Han Li replied with a wave of his hand.

Han Li responded.

Han Li was generally quite cold toward anyone other than Zhou Chen. Lei Ming didn't mind; after all, Cultivators had all sorts of strange temperaments. Since he wasn't familiar with Han Li, this kind of reaction was normal.

"By the way, Big Brother Zhou, where are you all headed?"

Han Li asked.

Zhou Chen briefly explained the plan to destroy the Blood Sacrifice Formation.

After listening, Han Li lowered his head in thought. Given his personality, he would absolutely never involve himself in such matters on a normal day.

The only one who could make him break that rule was Zhou Chen.

So he looked up and said to Zhou Chen, "Big Brother Zhou, count me in."

"Brother Han, that Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit just now was extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to come with us?" Zhou Chen reminded him.

"Dangerous?"

Han Li gave a faint smile. "No need to say more, Big Brother Zhou. If you can go, then naturally, I can go too."

Seeing Han Li's determined expression, Zhou Chen nodded helplessly.

This guy was still the same; he had an almost maniacal obsession with repaying him. As soon as he heard there was danger, he decided to go with him without a second thought.

He suddenly felt that the 10,000-fold Return System could be renamed to the 'Bamboozled into Following System'.

"Oh, right, Brother Han, there's another person who's unconscious. Help me take a look."

Zhou Chen brought Han Li back onto the Flying Shuttle.

Bai Yuting was still unconscious, but under the effect of the Medicinal Pills, her complexion had improved a lot.

"This is Bai Yuting of the Dan Clan."

Bei Nianyu introduced her. "Her clansmen were just… by that Evil Spirit…"

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.

"The Dan Clan…"

Lei Ming's expression was even more complex as he said, "I didn't expect even the Dan Clan to suffer such a calamity."

A moment later, Bai Yuting slowly woke up.

"I… where am I?" she asked weakly.

"Fairy Bai, you are safe," Bei Nianyu said softly.

Bai Yuting's memories gradually returned. Recalling the tragic deaths of her clansmen, tears began to flow again. "My clansmen… my clansmen are all…"

"My condolences."

Bei Nianyu didn't know how to comfort her and could only gently pat her shoulder.

Lei Ming explained the Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit's plot to Bai Yuting.

Bai Yuting took a deep breath, suppressing her grief. "That Evil Spirit… it must be killed!"

"We are preparing to go destroy the third Formation node. If Fairy Bai is willing, you can come with us."

Lei Ming said.

Bai Yuting nodded without hesitation. "Fine! I want to avenge my clansmen!"

Just then, a ripple suddenly came from the distance.

"Someone is coming."

Han Li looked toward a certain direction alertly.

A figure rapidly approached. When he clearly saw the newcomer, Zhou Chen showed a look of surprise.

It was actually Ji Wuming.

At this moment, Ji Wuming was in a state of disarray, clearly having encountered no small amount of trouble.

"Lei Ming? Zhou Chen? Bai Yuting?"

Ji Wuming was equally surprised to see them, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Ji Wuming, did you encounter the Evil Spirits too?" Lei Ming was the first to speak.

Ji Wuming nodded. "Not just Evil Spirits, but also Cultivators controlled by them. The entire Secret Realm is in chaos now, with slaughter everywhere. I was just being hunted by dozens of Evil Spirits and controlled Cultivators, and I barely managed to escape."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "I have a proposal. How about we temporarily join forces?"

"Join forces?" Lei Ming raised an eyebrow. "You, a tenth-level Saint Realm, joining forces with us? Aren't you afraid of being a burden?"

He had already been somewhat displeased with Ji Wuming's behavior, and at this moment, he spoke with some disdain.

Ji Wuming ignored Lei Ming's mockery and said calmly, "Although I am only at the tenth level of the Saint Realm, I also have considerable research into Formations. If you want to destroy the Blood Sacrifice Formation, you'll need someone who understands Formations, right?"

"How do you know we're going to destroy the Formation?"

Lei Ming began to grow wary.

"It's being spread throughout the Secret Realm that someone destroyed a node of the Blood Sacrifice Formation, inciting the Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit's wrath. The Evil Spirits are rioting and have begun frantically slaughtering every Cultivator they see."

Ji Wuming paused and looked at Zhou Chen. "Zhou Chen, if I haven't guessed wrong, that person is probably you, isn't it?"
