Elder Ji's face twisted in humiliated fury, his Core Formation aura flaring uselessly against the silver thread binding his weapon.
His spiritual senses screamed at him to retreat but the Poison Demon Cult's formation pressed down like a suffocating shroud.
The Shadow Veil disciples huddled closer, their feeble auras flickering like candles in a storm. They're not weak at all, but having stepped into the ambush set by Venom Master Xun, all they could do for now was to defend.
Furthermore, one of their core strengths, Elder Chen, his distant gaze remained fixed on Venom Master Xun, his will ensnared by her seductive charm.
"E-elder. Why don't we use the store products? There might be something to lift the charm off of Elder Chen. Also, the [Card Talismans] and [Spirit Embodiment Sticker Seals]. They're powerful enough to even empower the Spirit Severing Stage ancestors." One of the quick-witted disciples suggested with a trembling voice.
