In the vast valley, only two places remained untouched by the red mist—Xu Ran and the Peregrine Falcon. The rest were all overcome.
Sensing something amiss, Xu Ran immediately restrained the Innate Qi within his body, preventing it from leaking out, keeping it only in the Sea of Spirit.
Although the Innate Qi returned entirely to the Sea of Spirit, Xu Ran could, with just a thought, unleash endless Innate Qi once more.
The Peregrine Falcon, in its state of soul loss, had previously been protected by Xu Ran's Innate Qi to prevent any damage, but now, the red mist acted like a rampant thief, absorbing any substance that matched its red hue.
The scene of the red snake devouring the ghostly green mist was still vivid in memory. No one knew if its consumption would harm the body; even if not, Xu Ran dared not take the risk, for the Peregrine Falcon's body was in peril since its soul was lost.
