Fei Ming nodded towards the Cold Flame Snakes.
The Cold Flame Snakes, receiving Qian Duoduo's Spiritual Awareness command, retreated a few steps.
"I'm asking you a question. If you don't answer, I'll let Fellow Daoist Cold Flame handle it," Fei Ming shouted sternly.
"You colluded with external forces to deal with our sect's Disciples, which is treason!" a wounded Disciple bravely shouted.
"You are trapped by the battle beasts, and I am saving you. If you think I am committing treason, that is your opinion."
Fei Ming's hand trembled, and a Soul sword instantly killed the Disciple who had spoken.
"Who else has a problem?" Fei Ming's eyes widened as he scanned the surroundings. "I'll count to three. If you don't answer, I won't save you."
"Three, two..."
As soon as he counted to this, all the Disciples who still had a breath in them spoke up, "Senior Brother Fei, save me!"
Fei Ming showed a hint of a smile, feigning a bow to the surrounding Cold Flame Snakes.
"Fellow Daoist Cold Flame, these are my Junior Brothers from the sect. I hope you will spare their lives."
The Cold Flame Snakes flicked their crimson tongues, but not a single one retreated.
"What?!" Fei Ming feigned surprise. He turned his head and said to Ji Chao and the others, "Fellow Daoist Cold Flame said you can go back, but you must leave a Soul imprint."
Ji Chao and the others looked at each other, and no one expressed unwillingness to leave a Soul imprint.
Fei Ming sneered, "Then release your Upper Spirit Sea."
Besides the dead, there were still seven Disciples alive.
Xin Ying, Ji Chao, and the others successively gave up resistance and released their Upper Spirit Sea. Under Qian Duoduo's supervision, Fei Ming followed Qian Duoduo's method and left Soul imprints.
The reason Qian Duoduo did not directly leave his Soul imprints was that he feared the Ba Ling Sect would become suspicious again if he controlled too many Disciples.
Being controlled through Fei Ming, however, was considered an internal matter of the Ba Ling Sect.
Even if the sect knew, they would turn a blind eye.
Such matters were common in various sects and factions.
"Great Master, what do you think...?" Fei Ming respectfully said to Qian Duoduo.
Only then did these seven Disciples realize that Qian Duoduo was the Great Master of their highly respected Senior Brother Fei Ming.
"You wait here. When the other Disciples come down later, if anyone is disobedient, kill them immediately. For those who surrender, I will deal with them when I return."
Qian Duoduo enveloped ten Cold Flame Snakes with Spiritual Qi and rushed into the Ice Gale Layer again.
For the Cold Flame Snakes, the Ice Gale was more poisonous than actual poison.
Without Qian Duoduo's Spiritual Qi, they could not possibly pass through the Ice Gale Layer.
Qian Duoduo quietly approached the shore and saw that one of the remaining six Disciples had died for some unknown reason, and the five living ones were divided into two opposing groups.
Neither of these two groups had given up on the Foundation Establishment Pill and were still guarding the shore.
After placing the ten Cold Flame Snakes on the shore, Qian Duoduo submerged back into the Ice Gale Layer, slightly exposing the elixir bottle from the Ice Gale.
"The elixir bottle!" a sharp-eyed Disciple exclaimed.
Just as they were attracted by the elixir bottle, the Cold Flame Snakes surrounded them from behind.
"Cold Flame Snakes!"
Before they could even decide whether to go down and retrieve the elixir bottle, they were stunned by the aura emanating from the Cold Flame Snakes.
Ten Cold Flame Snakes with Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation were not something that their five Qi Condensation Great Perfection Disciples could resist, nor could they break through the encirclement.
The five Disciples gritted their teeth and successively jumped into the Ice Gale Layer.
As soon as they entered the Ice Gale Layer, Qian Duoduo released the elixir bottle, letting it fall downwards.
After they had all disappeared, Qian Duoduo called the Cold Flame Snakes, re-enveloped them with Spiritual Qi, and returned to the bottom.
Upon reaching the bottom, Qian Duoduo saw a scene of chaos.
Four of the five Disciples were dead, with only one alive, kneeling on the ground, desperately begging for mercy.
