The Great Elder looked anxiously at his grandson, while the other four people who were previously separated by the mist, including the Saint Soul of the Xiao Family, were made faint by it and thrown out the door.
It was better for them not to know about the soul guides and soul bones here. The Great Elder didn't want to kill them, otherwise Mingxi would have a hard time explaining it to the few families when he left.
Xu Mingxi who was immersed in illusions, was still engrossed in thinking. According to his thinking, the current situation was most likely caused by some special soul guide.
But he guessed the reason, but didn't know how to solve it. Seeing the Smoke Tiger attack again, Xu Mingxi's face paled, the Star Guardian was getting closer, and his soul power was almost exhausted.
As the Smoke Tiger pounced again, the Star Guardian shattered. Xu Mingxi watched the monster get closer to him, and despair filled his heart. At this moment, he wished someone could protect him.
Suddenly, three members of the Chen family stood in front of Xu Mingxi and each stopped the smoke monster, but in the end their soul power was exhausted, their arms were bitten off and they fell to the ground.
"NO."
Xu Mingxi's teeth gnashed. That was the first time he'd seen someone die because of him. Why would they go this far?
Yes, why would they protect themselves to death and not try to escape? This made absolutely no sense.
These people were just strangers he had just met. Although he had saved his sister, in this jungle world of the Douro Continent, where the strong preyed on the weak, were there really any grateful people, especially the three of them?
Xu Mingxi asked himself, he really couldn't possibly be so open to someone he had just met. Xu Mingxi suddenly looked up, it seemed like he hadn't seen starlight since entering the ruins.
Although he could feel the soul power in his body recovering and his first soul ring working, he couldn't see the slightest trace of starlight.
"This place can't be fake."
The moment those words were spoken, the illusion was shattered. Xu Mingxi who was lying on the ground opened his eyes, looked at the three people lying around him, looked at himself who was still intact, and felt the soul power that was almost drained in his body. She smiled bitterly in helplessness.
I didn't expect the whole thing to be fake. I didn't even realize it until the beginning. If only the three members of the Chen family hadn't exposed the mistake at the end, I would've died from running out of my soul power.
"Mingxi, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Grandfather. It's just an illusion. Aside from the excessive consumption of my soul force, I didn't suffer any damage."
Xu Mingxi was helped to sit up by his grandfather. He looked at the soul guide floating in the air with mixed feelings.
It feels as if I've fallen into an illusion from the moment I stepped into the mist. That monster in the mist seems to be just a transformation of my fear.
This dangerous illusion reminded her of the Soul Saint who would give Tang San a soul bone gift pack in the future. At that time, people died in invisible dreams.
The three people of the Chen family didn't wake up for a long time. When their soul power was almost exhausted, the great elder took action to collect the soul guides and the soul bones inside.
Chen Qingfeng watched as the smoke wolf pounced towards him. Just as the snake was about to bite his neck, he felt a sharp pain radiate to his head and he passed out.
When I woke up again, I saw myself lying on the ground unharmed, and sitting next to me were all the members of this adventure.
Except for Xu Mingxi and the Great Elder, no one knew that soul guides and soul bones appeared here. Xu Mingxi also pretended to have a tremendous headache.
The mist in the depths of Jueyun Gorge dissipated, and everyone searched for a while, but found nothing except a few gold soul coins and ordinary resources.
Seeing that the gibbon tribe had begun to expand its territory all the way to the ruins, everyone could only adjust their status and rush out of Jueyun Gorge at once. Only Yuan Qing, who was protected in the center of the team, looked at Xu Mingxi beside him, thoughtfully, but he didn't say anything.
After returning to Dongji City, the news that everyone was in danger and almost died spread, and the Xiao family's young master also sent out a message.
They almost died in the fog and were saved by a mysterious man in a black robe. It is likely that the treasures in the depths of Jueyun Gorge were also taken by him.
No one knew the Great Elder's identity except Yuan Qing, who was also wise enough not to reveal it.
Xu Mingxi didn't plan to stay in Dongji City for long, as he had more important things to do now.
During the trip to the fantasy land, he discovered that he had nothing but his talent, and due to the favorable conditions for him, he developed bad habits of laziness and relying on others.
"Grandpa, have you heard of the Soul Hunter Mercenaries? Send me to the Star Dou Great Forest, and you can return to the Star Crown Sect..."
The Great Elder certainly knew about the Soul Hunter Mercenary Army. To put it bluntly, it was a group of foreigners who lived on the edge and formed a team to hunt wild beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
For this kind of team, the most dangerous thing was not the soul beasts, but the people within the mercenary group. A precious medicine or a soul bone could cause the entire mercenary group to crumble.
The Great Elder stared at Xu Mingxi with a determined look in his eyes. Words of persuasion were on the tip of his tongue, but he was unable to say them. He could only hold back his tears.
"Alright, I'll pick you up outside the Star Forest in three years."
Xu Mingxi left Dongji City alone and headed for the Star Forest. This time, he had no one to protect him, and the only person he could rely on was himself.
The Great Elder returned to the Star Crown Sect, and the news that Xu Mingxi left alone caused an uproar among the elders.
Some were for, some were against, some even said that Xu Mingxi should be brought back now, especially the three people who were promoted with Xu Mingxi's help, who almost pointed at his nose and scolded him.
"Enough, this is Mingxi's own decision. No matter what happens, since he has made a choice, he must move on."
The sect leader instantly put a stop to the pointless bickering among the crowd. He was also afraid that Xu Mingxi would die in the Great Forest of Star Dou, as he was a sure bet to obtain the title of Douluo.
But he also knew that the elders of the Star Crown Sect, including himself, had spoiled Xu Mingxi too much.
I don't know where the kid learned this bad habit, but he needs to rest for two days every five, and he's easily distracted while practicing.
Mingguang had already reached level 52. With her talent and the Star Soul Summoning Skill, it shouldn't be possible for her to only reach level 56 now.
The sect leader waved his hand to signal the elders to leave, and sat alone in the hall thinking. In the darkness, only a beam of light came out from the sect leader's desk.
The next day, the elders of the Star Crown Sect received an order that the Star Crown Sect would be closed for three years. If Xu Mingxi could return alive, he would become the next sect leader.
