Lan SiZhui was breaking down, "That is not supposed to happen! The YiLing Patriarch had said before, that high-level ones eat souls, and only low-level ones eat flesh!"

"blind leading the blind", Xichen commented, trying to lift off the mood.

Wei WuXian couldn't help but to comment, "Why are you blindly worshipping him? Even his own inventions were a mess! No rules stay the same in all situations. You can think of it as an infant—when it lacks teeth, it can only eat congee and soup, but when it grows up, it would, of course, also want to eat meat using its teeth. Her powers had just risen greatly, so naturally she'd want to taste something new!"

The soul-consuming goddess stood up from the ground. Her body was tall. She used her arms and her legs to dance with uncontrollable excitement, seeming like she was extremely pleased. Out of the blue, an arrow came with a whoosh and pierced her forehead, the arrowhead appearing out of the back of her head.

"witnessing this, it is quite scary", Nie said

"Sect leader Nie it's not only scary, but strong as well. Its bloodthirst is very high", Lan Jingyi said, recollecting the scene.

"Uncle, how come this is not recorded anywhere. It is not a mere demon, A goddess doing exactly the opposite of its name".

"XiChen, we failed because she is a goddess. Nobody banks on a goddess to be in charge of mass killings, would they? "

Hearing the sound of the bow's release, Wei WuXian looked toward its direction. Jin Ling stood atop a tall hill, not far away, and already had his second feathered arrow on the bow. He pulled to the maximum, and another head-penetrating arrow was released, the strength causing the soul consuming goddess to stagger a few steps backward.

Lan SiZhui yelled, "Young Master Jin! Send off the signal on you!"

Jin Ling turned a deaf ear to his words, determined to kill the monster. With a solemn face, he set three arrows onto the bow at once. Although she was shot in the head twice, the soul-consuming goddess was not angered, and advanced toward Jin Ling with the same smile plastered on her face. Although she danced while walking, her speed was terrifyingly fast, decreasing the distance between them by half in just a few moments. A few cultivators appeared from the side and fought with her, hindering her strides. Jin Ling shot each arrow as the goddess took each step, probably intending to use up all of the feathered arrows first, before fighting in a closer range with the soul-consuming goddess. His arm was quite steady, and his shots were accurate, but all magical weapons were useless against it!

"Sect leader Jin", Jiang Cheng called, "What would you do when you encounter something very dangerous and difficult to deal with?", he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"send signal to the team"

"So?"

"others could get the warning, so they can prepare to fight or take a shelter until the reinforcement comes"

"Good. I HOPE you will do exactly what you just said now"

"Yes uncle................ but I'm the sect leader , the reinforcement they are expecting", he muttered the last part barely audible to others. Wei WuXian sitting close to him heard him well and clearly. He fleered "definitely son of that peacock".

Both Jiang Cheng and Lan WangJi were at Buddha's Feet, waiting for any news, so who knows how long it would take for them to realize that something was wrong and come up here. To extinguish fire, water was needed. Therefore, if magical weapons didn't work, what about dark sorcery?
