Wu Zhongyi and Liu Feiyu followed closely behind, rushing straight in.

Seeing Zhou Yingting and the others already inside, they immediately surrounded them.

"How did you find me?"

Looking at the people surrounding her, the woman, wrapped entirely in black, immediately spoke up.

She didn't ask why these people were looking for her, seemingly knowing the reason Zhou Yingting and the others sought her.

Seeing this creature speaking—and it was a woman—Wu Zhongyi was momentarily stunned, but quickly furrowed his brow and asked coldly.

"Regarding the borrowed life matter, how can one get back the life that was taken?"

He didn't waste words, directly asking about what concerned him.

It was about his son, and he had no choice but to pursue it.

The woman in the black robe, whose face was entirely obscured, coldly laughed at his question, "The life was borrowed to me, how could it be taken back?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her skeletal fingers, which sparked eerie flames at that moment.

As the flames ignited, the surroundings of Zhou Yingting and the others suddenly darkened, and eerie flames ignited in every corner of the room.

Witnessing this scene, Zhou Yingting's heart immediately skipped a beat.

Damn, this guy is really strange, what's happening around here?

Zhou Yingting's gaze locked onto the surroundings, spreading his focus, wary of the strange occurrences.

The woman in the black robe coldly laughed, "Although I don't know how you found this place, since you're here, you should stay."

"Daring to enter my room, you people are courting death."

As she spoke, eerie creatures scattered from her body, emitting strange cries all at once.

"Watch out, be mindful of your Spiritual Power, these things... will drain it!"

As these eerie entities appeared, everyone immediately sensed something was amiss and spoke up.

Immediately after they spoke, an eerie creature charged towards Fang You.

In an instant, as Fang You got entangled by the eerie creature, his face began aging rapidly, and his originally black hair began turning white.

Seeing such a scene, everyone was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but gasp.

Is this thing too powerful?

Isn't it said that eerie beings require conditions to act?

But now it seems, these things don't need any conditions, it directly starts absorbing life, doesn't it?

Seeing this person's hair turning white, they all believed his Life Value was being absorbed.

"Quick, get this thing off!"

Wu Zhongyi and the others, at least their acquaintances, quickly swung their weapons to help disperse the eerie creature from Fang You.

However, as they waved their weapons, the eerie creature scattered like smoke upon contact, then stuck firmly back onto Fang You.

Apparently displeased by being interrupted, the creature turned its stern gaze onto Wu Zhongyi and the others.

The posture seemed to say, "You wait, you're next."

"Save me!"

Realizing something was gravely wrong, Fang You suddenly erupted in a golden glow, attempting to protect himself from intrusion, while pleading with Zhou Yingting and the others.

But after his gold shield appeared, it didn't harm the eerie creature at all, and the eerie creature directly penetrated the gold shield.

With the eerie creature inside the gold shield, Fang You's aura continued to weaken.

Seeing this, Fang You grew increasingly anxious, desperately calling out for help to Zhou Yingting and the others.

He hadn't expected this creature to be so difficult, losing so much in just one encounter.

"Hang in there!"

Witnessing this, Wu Zhongyi quickly said, then turned his gaze to the woman in black.

"What if we take her on?"

As he spoke, Wu Zhongyi swung his sword, a ray of light sprang from the blade.

The light looked like sword energy.

But when this sword energy reached the woman in black, it was blocked by invisible dark energy, causing no harm.

Having heard the black-robed woman say there's no way to return the borrowed life, Wu Zhongyi grew murderous, if he couldn't save his child, he must slay her!

But after acting, he couldn't harm her.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting frowned, realizing this was eerie, he pulled a candle from his waist, lit it, and hurried to Fang You.

Once lit, a faintly fragrant scent softly wafted.

In the originally dark room, after the candle lit, the room brightened slightly.

As Zhou Yingting approached Fang You, the eerie creature, as if scared, fled into the darkness.

"What's that?"

The black-robed woman, noticing Zhou Yingting's action and seeing her eerie creature dispersed by the candle, was momentarily stunned, then eyed Zhou Yingting with uncertainty.
