Based on ng Zhang's analysis of their previous encounter, he deduced that this demonic cultivator most likely practiced the Heart Demon Path within the demonic arts. If caught off guard and attacked secretly, even cultivator teams like Wang Qiquan's, with considerable strength, could be affected.
However, with sufficient precautions and an understanding of the cultivator's thods, this person would, at best, be slightly stronger than an ordinary Foundation Building completion cultivator, without the overwhelming advantage.
Following ng Zhang's lead, Jin Qiao'er also activated a fake Third Rank talisman. She wasn't lacking in such items, considering she had a Gold Core Daoist Master as her master, as long as she was willing to use the materials.
Compared to her, ng Zhang appeared a bit stingy, using the powerful fake Third Rank talisman sparingly.
Enduring the impact of two consecutive fake Third Rank talismans, the demonic cultivator was heavily injured. He let out a strange and sharp scream. Wang Qiquan's group, who had been trapped, imdiately burst out all their strength and forcibly broke free from the entangled black tentacles, even if it ant self-harm.
They disregarded their injuries and recklessly charged towards ng Zhang's group, akin to madn, full of killing intent.
They were, after all, Foundation Building completion and late-stage cultivators. Once they began fighting desperately, ng Zhang's group had to take them seriously, even if they were filled with hatred for the demonic cultivator.
They had to prioritize their own lives before anything else.
Taking advantage of the temporary distraction caused by the entangled tentacles, the demonic cultivator imdiately employed an escape technique and fled at top speed.
ng Zhang and the others couldn't afford to be distracted and could only watch him get away.
However, ng Zhang did not remain idle; he secretly commanded Zhui Dian (Chasing Lightning) to quietly pursue the fleeing cultivator.
As the demonic cultivator fled, ng Zhang's group could now fully deal with Wang Qiquan's team.
Liu Li (Colored Glaze) wasn't fast enough to keep up with Zhui Dian (Chasing Lightning) and stayed behind. She used her illusion skills to assist ng Zhang's group against the enemies.
Wang Qiquan and Ning Bo were controlled by the demonic art, deeply entrenched in the demonic path, and had lost their senses, leaving only their instinct to kill.
After a bitter battle, ng Zhang completely refined their bodies with the Solar True Fla.
As for Qian Kaiyu and Qian Kaizhou, they were also controlled but not as severely. Liu Li (Colored Glaze) used her illusions, causing them to briefly lose their focus, and then ng Zhang's group captured them alive.
After the battle, ng Zhang's group finally had ti to observe their surroundings. The object that had fallen to the ground, resembling spiritual marrow, was as ng Zhang expecteda magic tool used to deceive people's hearts by the demonic cultivator.
After a thorough examination, ng Zhang used the Solar True Fla to burn it to ashes.
There were traces of illusions in many places around them. With the demonic cultivator's escape, all the illusions gradually weakened and revealed themselves.
ng Zhang's group searched the area but found nothing else.
Next, ng Zhang had Jin Qiao'er and Jue Ying protect him while he carefully checked Qian Family's brothers' condition.
His main purpose was not to heal them but to explore the mysteries of the demonic art from them.
This ti, being prepared and resolute, ng Zhang directly inspected their Souls.
As he suspected, deep within their Souls, a restriction had been secretly placed. Every action of the brothers was unknowingly controlled.
During the first inspection of the brothers, ng Zhang had overlooked this aspect unintentionally.
Even during the Refining Qi stage, ng Zhang could perform Divine Soul Leaving the Body, allowing his Soul to enter the Taiyi Sect's Trial Ground. After reaching the Foundation Building stage, the power of his Soul grew stronger.
Therefore, when faced with the demonic art that confused the mind, he had a much stronger resistance.
Foundation Building completion cultivators could wander with their Souls, traveling a hundred miles away. Even if their physical bodies were destroyed, they had a chance to seize a new body and be reborn.
ng Zhang's powerful Soul force slowly penetrated into the brothers' Souls.
After a difficult process, ng Zhang finally used his formidable Soul force to forcibly remove the restrictions within their Souls.
During this process, he had a close encounter with the demonic art and engaged in a close combat between Souls.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he read many mories from the brothers' Souls.
As it turned out, Wang Qiquan's loose cultivator group had encountered an ordinary sand monster tribe. However, while they were fighting the sand monsters, the demonic cultivator concealed himself and used the demonic art to manipulate and harm Wang Qiquan's group.
Loose cultivators, after all, lacked the experience that disciples of major sects possessed when facing demonic cultivators.
Their intense desire for spiritual marrow also led to flaws in their minds, which provided the demonic cultivator with an opportunity.
The demonic cultivator seed to be a seasoned hunter, knowing exactly what these foreign cultivators desired the most.
From the mont he discovered Wang Qiquan's group, he deliberately led them into his trap.
A spiritual marrow disguised using demonic art, along with so covert manipulation, caused the two sworn brothers to turn against each other, resulting in a mutual slaughter.
When Wang Qiquan and Ning Bo were severely injured, the demonic cultivator took advantage of the opportunity to control them and turn them into puppets under his control.
As for the Qian Family brothers, their possession was still shallow, giving them so strength to escape.
The demonic cultivator didn't imdiately pursue them, deciding instead to use them as bait to lure new prey.
Unaware that their Souls had been invaded by the demonic cultivator's power, the two brothers thought they had escaped danger.
ng Zhang's group not only broke the demonic cultivator's trap but also captured the brothers alive.
After understanding the general situation and completely removing the restrictions within their Souls, ng Zhang used his powerful Sun-Moon True Qi to cleanse their bodies thoroughly, ensuring there was no residual demonic energy and preventing any future issues.
After doing all this, ng Zhang finally felt relieved.
As for the brothers, their Souls had suffered severe damage this ti. After waking up, they would need a long ti to recover from their injuries. Moreover, they would no longer have the opportunity to advance to the Gold Core stage in the future. Their cultivation base was likely to decline significantly, and even maintaining the Foundation Building mid-stage cultivation base would be uncertain.
After discussing with Jin Qiao'er and Jue Ying, they couldn't just leave the brothers here without any care.
After all, two experienced Foundation Building stage cultivators still had value.
In the end, Jue Ying, with her abundant experience, used a pill to put the brothers into a deep sleep, then took out a hand-sized cloth bag.
This was a human containnt bag that could store living beings. She skillfully placed the brothers inside.
