You're overthinking it

A large number of evil spirits rushed towards Lin Xie, Ling Fei, and Hua min, causing them to turn pale with fright.

"Attack!"

Facing so many evil spirits, Lin Xie and the other two had no choice but to attack.

After being attacked by the three, all the evil spirits let out angry roars.

These dark spirits were the ones from the fifth floor of the dark spirit tower. They were very powerful and weren't that afraid of the elf bloodline. Otherwise, the elf tribe wouldn't have chosen to enter during the three-month dormancy period of the dark spirits.

After Lu Ming used the evil spirit Pearl's formation to chase them away, the evil spirits rushed towards Lin Xie and the other two in a frenzy and started killing them. Streams of terrifying evil energy swept towards them.
