rue voice, narrowed his eyes abruptly. His gaze, concealed beneath his cloak, scrutinized the strong man intently, as if trying to pierce through the mask and discern his true appearance.And on Qin Sa...As they were speaking, the scene before them suddenly darkened. The group of creatures, led by a monstrous owl-like being, charged straight at Ge Yuan in a flurry of ferocious screeches. It was clear that Ge Yuan's theft of the spirit medicine had enraged them.

Among them, there was one whose size was slightly smaller, but its speed far surpassed that of its kind. Its feathers were like strands of black iron forged, incredibly hard.

With a flap of its wings, the man-headed owl transformed into a black line, appearing instantly above Ge Yuan's head. Its speed was astonishing. The sharp bird claws gleamed with cold light as they swooped down towards the top of Ge Yuan's head.

This man-headed owl suddenly erupted with an extremely terrifying aura, startling Qin Sang as well. It was actually a late stage demon spirit!

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Apart from it, the other human-faced owls' strength was significantly weaker, with only one at the early stage of the Yao Ling period, and the rest being mere Xiao Yao at the Fan Yao period.

It's no wonder Luo Xingnan and the others have been unable to gain the upper hand. Facing a late-stage demon spirit, it's already very difficult for them not to be killed by the Manhead Owl's talons.

And, it seems like someone is missing.

Only Luo Xinan, Yun Youzi, Shangguan Lifeng, and the White-Clothed Swordsman were present.

The elderly man surnamed Gong is gone!

More horrifying still was Ge Yuan himself.

This human-headed owl's strength is terrifying, it's two realms above him.

>

Even in normal times, it would be difficult for him to escape under the talons of this human-headed owl. Let alone now that he was sent flying by Luo Xinan's jade spear, at his most vulnerable and with unsteady breath.

"Whew!"

The man-headed owl spread its wings, and its demonic power whipped up a gale that pinned Ge Yuan to the ground. It effortlessly crushed his attempt to escape.

Ge Yuanda was terrified, his eyes widening as he watched the demonic bird's talons bearing down on him.

Just at this critical moment, luckily Yun Youzi was quick-witted and nimble. He suddenly threw out a yellow copper ring.

...

The copper ring released a thick yellow glow, and then split into dozens of identical phantoms in mid-air. Not one was missing, all striking the human-headed owl.

To everyone's surprise, after being struck by the copper ring, the human-headed owl staggered back. It let out an enraged roar. The other human-headed owls, as if they knew the power of the copper ring, shrieked in alarm and retreated one after another.

Ge Yuan finally found an opportunity, flipped over and climbed up from the ground. He transformed into a ray of light and fled without looking back.

Qin Sang looked intently and noticed that the four of Yun Youzi's formation had remained unyielding, with everyone wielding the same yellow bronze ring.

This is a set of forbidden artifacts!

Qin Sang understood, secretly thinking that this explained it. No wonder they didn't seem too panicked when facing a late-stage demon of the Spirit Demon realm. It was precisely thanks to this set of forbidden magic artifacts that they had a chance of winning.

Otherwise, they would have long since followed in Sheng Yuanzi's footsteps.

"What are you doing!"

Luo Xingnan glared fiercely at Yun Youzi, enraged that he had acted recklessly to save someone.

>

Yún yóu zǐ's expression was as usual, "Luò dào yǒu, the low period of the outer formation is almost over. We don't have much time left. One more person means one more strength. Let's quickly suppress this fiend and then send some people to collect medicine! That's what really matters!"

At the same time, Qin Sang also heard Yun Youzi's transmission in his ear, and only then did he know that the old man surnamed Gong was already dead.

Just like Ge Yuan, he also triggered the prohibition while gathering herbs, startling the Human-Head Owl.

However, the elder surnamed Gong was unlucky. He was the first target of the human-headed owl and died with his skull pierced by its claws, unable to fight back at all.

Others were shocked and dismayed, not daring to fight individually. They hurriedly gathered together, joining forces to resist the siege of the monsters. The Cloud Wanderer took out this set of forbidden artifacts called the Golden Ring Formation. Only then did they manage to stand firm and withstand the onslaught of the human-headed owl.

But even with this set of golden ring formations, it would be nearly impossible to kill the Man-headed Owl, and time wouldn't allow for a prolonged fight.

Their only option was to use the power of forbidden artifacts, try to trap the Head-Owl spirit, dispatch some people to retrieve the spiritual medicine, and then make a run for it!

Luo Xinan let out a cold snort, accepting Yun Youzi's explanation. He activated the copper ring, evolving countless phantoms to continue attacking Ren Shou Xiao. Meanwhile, he flicked his palm on the copper ring, splitting it into two and throwing one each to Qin Sang and Ge Yuan. He said with unquestionable authority: “You two work together to block these demon birds. This old man will go out to gather medicine!”

"Hold on!"

The Cloud Wanderer spoke up, stopping Luo Xingnan, "Luo Daoist friend, the demon beasts are powerful. Without Luo Daoist friend's presence, it will be difficult to suppress them. In my opinion, for safety's sake, it would be better if Qingfeng Daochang went to gather herbs, and then we would split the spirit medicine equally on the spot."

Luoxingnan's face stiffened, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.

His gaze shifted between Qin Sang, Ge Yuan, and Yun Youzi. Luo Xinan's expression grew increasingly furious as he roared, "Old man, are they your people"

“I am nobody important. I've only just met you two fellow cultivators,” said Yun Youzi calmly.

"Good! Very good!"

Luoxingnan laughed angrily, calling out "Good!" twice. His tone was extremely grim as he said: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! This old man admits defeat today! You dare to scheme against this old man, you have guts! Don't be afraid that this old man will kill you!"

"You flatter me, Luo Daoyou!"

The Cloud Wanderer showed no fear of Luo Xingshan's menacing gaze. He looked at Shangguan Lifeng and the white-clothed scholar, saying, "Fellow Daoists, you all ventured into this dangerous place for treasures. Unlike Yu Kong, we don't have a deep grudge against Luo Daoist Friend. This old Daoist has never intended to harm Luo Daoist Friend, let alone plot against him. From my observation, although most of the mountain herbs have been ravaged by these beasts, there are still seven surviving herbs. The protective barriers guarding the herbs are powerful, preventing these beasts from attacking directly. We only have six people, with one person taking one herb each, more than enough. Luo Daoist Friend's previous promise was also like this. Why does this old Daoist bring up the matter of splitting equally again Why is Daoist Friend so angry Could it be... that Luo Daoist Friend's words before were just empty promises"

“You...”

When confronted by Yun Youzi's pointed questions, Luo Xinan's face froze, and his eyes were filled with surprise and anger.

Without giving Luo Xinan a chance to speak, Yun Youzi bypassed Shangguan Lifeng and addressed the white-clothed scholar: "This fellow Daoist, what do you think"

The white-clothed scholar glanced at Luo Xinan and Shangguan Lifeng. Under Luo Xinan's intense gaze, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think the Cloud Traveler Daoist's words are not unreasonable."

As he spoke, the white-clad scholar unconsciously leaned closer to the Cloud Wanderer.

However, the Cloud Wanderer didn't want to pressure Luo Xingnan too much, lest he lose his reason. He added, "Breaking the seal takes time and effort. Daoist Qingfeng alone might find it difficult. Perhaps Daoist Luo could designate another person to assist him. With two working together, it shouldn't be a problem. Moreover, our arrival here was all thanks to Daoist Luo's meticulous planning. Taking two of the seven spiritual herbs is only right. What do you other Daoists think"

The elderly man surnamed Gong had died. There was only Shangguan Lifeng left from the people of Luo Xinan, and Youyouzi was just short of making it explicit.
