Feng Ziling stared at Mu Tian as he found something wrong with Mu Tian. Although Mu Tian was back to normal, he still wanted to go down the cliff, which made him seem possessed.

Long Ming looked at the two and said, "Let's discuss it tomorrow. You go back and have a rest. Feng Ziling is injured and he needs treatment."

Long Ming knew Mu Tian and Feng Ziling were hiding something from him. Mu Tian was unwounded and his spiritual power seemed to be stronger now, but Feng Ziling was hurt. More importantly, the two both claimed that there was no attack in the forest, which made Long Ming wonder how Feng Ziling got injured.

However, seeing their tired faces, Long Ming was unwilling to question them now. He believed that the truth would come out when they all went in there tomorrow.

When they returned to the bamboo house, Murong Xue took out a healing pill and gave it to Feng Ziling. "Take the pill." Luckily, Mu Tian had not been totally out of control, so Feng Ziling was not badly injured. Otherwise, Feng Ziling would have been severely wounded even though he was also at purple-level.

Feng Ziling took over the pill and swallowed it down.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you," apologized Murong Xue.

"I know. I'm worried about something else." What Feng Ziling cared about all the time was Mu Tian's safety.

"Sorry for worrying you." Murong Xue sat in the chair and kept recalling what had happened on the cliff.

Feng Ziling said, "Have a good sleep tonight. I'll stay here and watch you."

Murong Xue looked up and asked in doubt, "Why? You go back to your room and sleep."

But Feng Ziling just stared at Mu Tian and remained silent.

"What's wrong?" asked Murong Xue.

"I won't leave you alone. Are you thinking about going there alone?"

Murong Xue's heart jolted because she was really going to do what Feng Ziling had said. "No, no, why would I...?"

"That's good. Sleep now."

Then Feng Ziling sat in the chair and stayed put, showing no sign that he was going to leave.

Murong Xue felt a twitch in her face and wondered why.

Murong Xue asked, "I want to enter the Space now. Will you join me?"

Feng Ziling nodded. Then the two just disappeared from the room.

Murong Xue went straight to Xiaobai who was sleeping deeply.

"Wake up. You are so fat that you can hardly keep your eyes open. Really?" Murong Xue pulled Xiaobai's chubby face, slightly grim.

"Ahh! Ouch! Let me go." Xiaobai struggled with its chubby paws.

Murong Xue let it go and asked, "I want to ask you something."

Xiaobai rubbed its chubby face with its chubby paws and answered, "What?"

Feng Ziling stood by and watched them. He guessed what Mu Tian wanted to ask was also what he wanted to know.

Murong Xue explained steadily, "There is a big problem. We got poisoned by devil's qi on the cliff before. Now devil's qi coming from under the cliff is spreading and my Master is missing."

"Devil's qi?" Xiaobai stopped rubbing its face and asked.

"Yes, it has spread to the whole forest. Luckily, Master has set up a formation barrier outside the Death Forest to resist it. Otherwise, the Fengyun Continent would have been the land of death."

Xiaobai lowered its head and pondered. "Lan Zun hasn't solved it?"

"We don't know. Master entered the forest a month ago and he has not come back yet. Xiaobai, I want to know if I can absorb devil's qi now?"

"Sure, you are no different than the devilmen now. A high-level devilman, to be exact." Xiaobai also felt confused. Those who were not born to be devilmen were all low-level, but Murong Xue had purple hair, the signature of high-level devilmen.

"Does it mean devil's qi has no impact on me now?" Murong Xue went on.

Xiaobai nodded. "That's one way to put it. As for what you said, it's pretty strange that devil's qi appears on the Fengyun Continent." Xiaobai had not grown back to its normal level, so it was unable to resist devil's qi now.

Murong Xue said, "Okay, you can sleep now. Ziling, you have a good sleep, too." Then she turned around and entered the pagoda.

"Wait, Mu Tian," Feng Ziling called out.

Murong Xue turned around. "Don't worry. I won't leave here without you. Okay? I need to find something now. You stay here and rest." She wanted to look around the pagoda and find some books about the devilmen.

After some time, Murong Xue walked out of the pagoda with empty hands and saw Feng Ziling staring at the Nine-stage Pagoda instead of having a rest. She sighed and walked up to him.

"You didn't have a sleep?" Murong Xue felt that she was unable to find another friend who was as good as Feng Ziling.

Feng Ziling rose up and asked, "I'm not sleepy and I'm not tired, either. Are we going to leave now?"

Murong Xue nodded. "Yeah, let's go."

At daybreak, the purple-level meeting room was already full of people, and every purple-level master was given a gas mask made by the weapon refiners these days.

Long Ming announced, "Everybody is here. Let's go now."

When they arrived at the periphery of the Death Forest, Murong Xue suggested, "We can't all go in there. Some of us have to be in charge here."

"Relax, only half of us go in there. We all come here to check on the formation barrier. Let's go and the rest of you stay outside."

Murong Xue nodded and took the lead together with Feng Ziling.

"Mu Tian!"

Murong Xue, who was at the head of the line, turned her head back with a confused look. "What's wrong, Mr. Long Ming?"

"Why are you...?" The rest of the line also discovered the unusual situation of Mu Tian.

"I've explained to you before. After being poisoned by devil's qi, I won't be affected by it anymore. All right, let's keep going." Murong Xue concealed from them that she was a devilman now because Xiaobai told her that people on the Fengyun Continent were very hostile to the devilmen.

"Okay!"

The others did not keep asking because Mu Tian did have explained it before and he was Mr. Lan Zun's student. They trusted Mr. Lan Zun and it was he who had set up the formation barrier alone.

After a while, the team of 20 people arrived at the cliff. They took a look at the bottom of the cliff and felt creepy.

Long Ming raised his hand and used his spiritual power to drop a stone from the edge of the cliff. He waited for a long time, but there was no echo. Long Ming changed his face several times.

Murong Xue said, "Let me go down the cliff first. Devil's qi has no impact on me now." More importantly, she felt the force under the cliff appealing to her once again.

Feng Ziling moved swiftly to stop Mu Tian. If Mu Tian was going there, he wanted to go with him.

Long Ming frowned as he knew how dangerous the bottomless cliff could be. "I'm going with you."

"Count us in!"

"Okay, let's go down there together."

Long Ming said, "No, it's too many. Some of us need to wait up here. Anyone who volunteers to go down the cliff, raise up your hand."

Everyone raised up their hands. After all, those who were afraid of death normally could not make it to purple-level.

"If so, you guys go with me, and the others wait here. If we don't come back after a long time, you get out of here and discuss what to do next with them. Am I clear?"

"Yes."

"Stay safe. See you later." Long Ming was the first one to jump off the cliff.

Murong Xue could not wait to follow Long Ming. Feng Ziling jumped with her, and they held hands.

Long Ming's figure disappeared very soon. Devil's qi under the cliff became thicker and it thus made Murong Xue so gleaming that Feng Ziling found it difficult to keep his eyes open.

At this moment, Murong Xue felt as if she had been in a warm ocean and it really opened up her pores, which made her feel extremely comfortable. All of a sudden, she could feel the wall that kept her from reaching a higher level and her spiritual power began to increase.

Holding her hand, Feng Ziling could feel the change deeply.

Eyes wide open, he wondered if Mu Tian was reaching a higher level now. He found it unbelievable, but he did not say anything to interrupt Mu Tian. Becoming a God was everyone's dream. Even if Mu Tian got here before him, he would also work hard to follow him.

However, Murong Xue did not reach a higher level at last. Instead, her spiritual power gradually became steady and calm.

"I almost had it," Murong Xue said in a frustrated tone.

The two started to slow down, but they had not seen the bottom of the cliff yet. Long Ming and the others were gone. The two could see nothing but the dark devil's qi. It was so quiet that they felt creepy.

"I wonder how far down we will be." Feng Ziling chose to ignore what Mu Tian just said and change the topic. Holding Mu Tian's hand, he tightened his grip.

"Mr. Long Ming!"

"Mr. Long Ming. Mr. Long Ming." Murong Xue heard nothing but her own voice echoing back to them.

They jumped off the cliff at the same time, so they should be close to each other. However, Long Ming and the others just disappeared from their sight.

"It's good that we hold hands." Feng Ziling felt lucky. If he and Mu Tian had not done that, they would have been separated from each other like Long Ming and the others.
