The atmosphere between the crowd was extremely tense. Their expressions were tense like a cheetah that could make a move of retreat at any time.
"Desolate Spirit Pill?"
When Ling Jian heard Luo Tianyan's words, he was stunned for a moment before his expression immediately changed. Shock immediately filled his cheeks. Evidently, he had been shocked by the sudden news that Luo Tianyan had brought back.
However, thinking about it later, he felt relieved. After all, the Qing-Yun Sect already knew that this place was not normal, and those who wanted to stay here for a long time would definitely have this kind of elixir.
This Desolate Spirit Pill was a Grade 7 pill, a high grade pill!
Amongst the many categories of high level pills, they were considered to be in the top. However, among the categories that resisted the effects of desolation and the aura of decay, they were at the bottom.
No matter what, this pill had already been added into the category of a Grade 7 pill. Its value was quite high.
Ling Jian was also able to sense that his body was being assaulted by the aura of desolation and decay that was unique to the Desolate Flame Abyss. After being in the Desolate Flame Abyss for a long time, he could feel that the strength within his body was being continuously reduced!
Even though this kind of senseless loss was slow, it could not be hidden from Ling Jian's senses.
"This is bad. The power within my body is being drained at a slow and imperceptible rate. Looks like this Desolate Spirit Pill is indeed a necessary item to enter the Desolate Flame Abyss."
Ling Jian cursed inwardly as he clenched his fists, his eyes sharp.
They were standing in the depths of the Abyss of Flames for about an hour.
"Third Elder, Fifth Elder, we've discovered that the energy within our bodies is slowly dissipating!"
The top ten Qing-Yun disciples could not help but let out pained cries. Their faces were gloomy and they could not help but open their mouths to speak. During this hour, they had clearly felt the loss of power within their bodies.
"Damn it!"
He frowned slightly and laughed bitterly. He did not expect that when he had just entered the Desolate Flame Abyss, before even approaching the edge of the Ten Thousand Killing Abyss, he would be intimidated by the roar of a death level fierce beast, causing their footsteps to become as heavy as lead.
"Fifth Elder, give the order. Time waits for no one. If this continues, even if we don't reach the Ten Thousand Killing Abyss, we will die here. I do not wish to die in such a useless manner."
Moreover, their situation had become even worse. This was because they had taken the Soul Summoning Pill before, and the Soul Summoning Pill, in a certain sense, could form some kind of mysterious resonance with the aura of the Ancient Desolate Flame Abyss. In order to achieve a resonance in a place, they would be able to completely unleash the medicinal energy remaining within the Soul Summoning Pill.
Perhaps, Luo Tianyan was still unclear of this point. However, how could Ling Jian not know that as the person who created the Soul Summoning Pill, he was well aware of when and what kind of power a pill would possess in order to completely unleash the power within it.
This was one aspect of Ling Jian's plan to stall for time.
On the other hand, he had always felt that the beast roar that appeared in the depths of the Desolate Flame was not empty. There must be more to it …
Thus, before understanding things, the wisest thing to do was to wait and see.
"That's right. Fifth Elder, I feel that the energy in my body has been drained a little quickly."
This time, even the second elder, You Tianxuan, spoke up.
"Mine too, is not yours?"
Fourth Elder Li Jue Tian looked suspiciously at the ten great disciples as well as Ling Jian, who was standing in front of them with his back facing them and Luo Tian Yan, who was turning around to look at them, as he said with a bitter smile.
"It can't be?"
Luo Tianyan was greatly shocked and immediately appeared in front of Li Juetian. His shriveled hand appeared like an eagle's claw as it grabbed onto Li Juetian's wrist. After which, he began observing Li Juetian.
Immediately, he seemed to have sensed something and was startled. He had never expected that the medicinal effect of the Soul Summoning Pill, which had originally been placed in the bodies of the three great elders, would be completely used up. Clearly, he was prepared to completely absorb all of the medicinal effect that had yet to be absorbed.
If that was the case, the three Great Elders would not have to worry about not being sincere. However, when he felt that some of the power within Li Juetian's body was rapidly draining away, he started to feel bitter. Based on this, the only remaining fighting strength on their side would likely be the top ten disciples, as well as himself and Ling Jian.
After which, he turned around and looked at the young man who was standing in front of him. The back of the young man was extremely swift and fierce, as if he had already known about this matter. Upon seeing this, Luo Tianyan did not give the order directly.
"Mm?!"
Just as Luo Tianyan was preparing to ask Ling Jian for his opinion, suddenly, Ling Jian's keen senses detected a peculiar fluctuation. It was the fluctuation of Spiritual Aura!
"Third Elder!"
Ling Jian suddenly turned around, like a sharp sword that had suddenly changed its direction. This dense arc of the turning caused Luo Tianyan, who was slowly approaching, to be startled. He stood rooted to the spot as he stared puzzledly at the boy, who seemed to be angry.
"Retracting our spiritual energy, didn't we already say before that we have to conceal our auras? Don't expose our movements in unfamiliar places!"
Ling Jian's facial expression changed drastically as he glared hatefully at Xiao Ling Ming, who had released his Spiritual Qi out of him. He let out an explosive shout, and his voice was as heavy as death itself.
"Crap, something happened!"
Then, just as he finished reprimanding Xiao Lingwang, a deafening roar that originated from the depths of the abyss directly appeared. After which, this sonic wave rapidly approached the place, and Ling Jian's expression changed, as though his sword pupils had penetrated through space as they stared into the distant depths. In the depths, there seemed to be a black speck of light that was currently shooting over at an extremely shocking speed.
Wherever the black dot passed by, the light would immediately turn dark and the surrounding air would immediately explode.
"Clear Sky disciples, retreat!"
"..."
