Where the bells ring

"If you insist on staying here, I can make your life worse than hell. Be smart and go back to where you belong, away from Shi Meng."

"Hmph, don't think I don't know the minute I'm out of the sect and out of sight you don't hesitate to kill me."

If it was just an ordinary Gu then Tian Han Ran would be able to dispel it easily. However Chun Yang Huang is infamous for excelling in curses. Naturally whatever she used on him wouldn't be anywhere near easy to get rid of. Tian Han Ran can tell that even if he was in his immortal form, forcefully trying to dispel the curse would only harm him.

"You already can kill me at any given moment so what's the harm of letting me st-" Tian Han Ran abruptly stopped talking as his eyes become more alert. A crazy amount of dense and heavy demonic energy was spreading rapidly across the room. Chun Yang Huang and Chun Hong Yue who also felt the familiar demonic aura, both swiped their heads immediately in the direction to where Liu Shi Meng was.

Liu Shi Meng had awoken at some point without any of them noticing. Though he was awake, his eyes were clouded like he was in a trance, the demonic aura surrounding him was thick enough to choke on.

"Ha..ha..haahhh!" Liu Shi Meng pulls at his long hair like a madman as he screams continuously. His expression could be considered frozen but tears trickle endlessly down his face.

"Shit! Hong Yue, grab Shi Meng and run!" No longer paying any attention to Tian Han Ran, Chun Yang Huang's only priority right now is to get Liu Shi Meng out of here and fast.

Sure enough before Chun Hong Yue could even grab Liu Shi Meng and make it out the door, the urgent sound of a thousand bells ringing together erratically echoes through the sect.

"A demon have infiltrated the sect! Someone notify the elders!"

"The sound is coming from that way! Follow me!"

Hundreds of disciples gathered up before making a charge towards the quarter where Liu Shi Meng is.

"Hong Yue! Cover for us!" Nodding, Chun Hong Yue's eyes flashes red for a brief second before casting an invisibility spell on them. It also masked some of the demonic aura that was still leaking out of Liu Shi Meng. Not a second after, the room's door was knocked open, the disciples flooding into the room.

"What? There's nothing here!" Through the chaos, Tian Han Ran have already escaped away. Because the bell sound only track demonic aura, he was able to slip away undetected.

"That can't be... the bells clearly ring the loudest here! Wait there's someone on that bed!"

The disciples quickly rush over expecting to find a demon hiding on the bed. But instead they found Dong He Shui. Although his innate talent is quite good, his cultivation was still tender. Unable to defend against the demonic aura, he was struggling to even breathe.

"He absorbed too much demonic aura! Get the elders here!" One of the older disciple lift Dong He Shui up before passing some spiritual energy to him.

Taking advantage of their diverted attention, Chun Hong Yue and Chun Yang Huang quickly slips out the door with Liu Shi Meng. Unfortunately Liu Shi Meng is like a opened faucet right now with demonic energy flowing out of him like water. Chun Hong Yue's spell was only able to dilute it at best. As they ran through the sect towards the front gate, the bell sound followed them persistently exposing their every move.

"Hey! The bell sound is getting further away. The demon is trying to escape!"

At this time three of the Seven Color Treasure Sect's Elder have arrived. One of them was Elder Hao Zhen who held up his hand to stop the running disciples. "The demon have already left the barrier. Tend to any wounded first."

Hearing Elder Hao Zhen's order, the disciples gave up the chase. Instead they began to head back to where they first heard the bell to investigate the situation. The three elders also follow them back to the room.

'Isn't this the room where the new disciples from this morning is living in?' Elder Hao Zhen walks into the room but then paused. Huh? This demonic aura, I've felt it before??
