Rong Jiaojiao's soul was mistakenly taken by a soul-reaper. After negotiating with him and receiving a series of compensations, she was ready to be reborn after drinking Meng Po's soup. How...
Mo Zhizhou's body was covered in blood, almost every inch of it was bloody, and he looked like he could kick the bucket at any moment.
Mo Bai slumped onto Zi Ling's back, panting heavily: "Any later and we would have been done for..."
He didn't have many injuries; most of them were blocked by Mo Zhizhou.
However, his spiritual energy was depleted. If he hadn't met Rong Jiaojiao and the others, they probably would have died in Myanmar, just as he said.
"Take the pills first." Rong Jiaojiao quickly took out Qi-restoring pills and healing pills and handed them to them. "Don't talk, just focus on healing."
Qing Xuanzi stood at the tail of Zi Ling, his gaze fixed intently on what lay behind him. His brows furrowed: "This is bad; their flying swords are too fast."
Sure enough, the Blood Fiend Sect's pursuers were getting closer and closer, and the ferocious face of the Celestial Master realm cultivator in the lead was now clearly visible.
"Little girl, obediently hand over those two men, and I might spare your life!" the cultivator threatened with a sinister grin.
Rong Jiaojiao snorted coldly and grabbed a handful of mid-grade spirit stones: "Zi Ling, catch!"
Zi Ling swallowed the spirit stone in one gulp, and lightning surged around her, increasing her speed dramatically. However, this explosive consumption was clearly unsustainable.
"Master, this can't go on." Rong Jiaojiao looked at Qing Xuanzi anxiously.
Mo Zhizhou forced himself to sit up and took out a yellowed talisman from his pocket: "Only... this is left..."
Qing Xuanzi took the talisman, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "This is... a Void Escape Talisman?"
“That’s right.” Mo Zhizhou nodded weakly. “This is a life-saving item bestowed by the family. We haven’t been able to find an opportunity to use it before, but with everyone’s help, we may be able to buy some time to activate it.”
Qing Xuanzi made a decisive decision: "Jiaojiao, use the Heavenly Thunder Formation to intercept them!"
Rong Jiaojiao understood and quickly took out five top-grade Heavenly Thunder Talismans. She formed hand seals and shouted, "Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, begin!"
The five talismans flew backward instantly, forming a pentagram array in the air.
In an instant, dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and the entire sky darkened.
"Not good! Retreat quickly!" The Blood Fiend Sect cultivator was shocked and hurriedly changed the direction of his flying sword.
However, it was too late.
Dozens of purple lightning bolts crashed down, temporarily blocking the pursuers.
Two Celestial Master level cultivators hurriedly summoned a blood-red protective shield, which withstood the lightning strike.
"Now!" Qing Xuanzi shouted, activating the Void Escape Talisman.
A spatial rift slowly unfolded in front of Zi Ling, radiating a mysterious light.
Zi Ling rushed into the crevice without hesitation.
The moment they disappeared, all of the Blood Fiend Sect's attacks missed their mark.
"Damn it!" the leading cultivator roared in fury. "Chase them! They can't have gone far!"
Just then, several golden beams of Buddhist light rushed towards them from afar.
The two Heavenly Master level experts from the Blood Fiend Sect changed their expressions drastically: "Run! It's those bald monks from Myanmar!"
These Buddhist practitioners have always taken it upon themselves to convert evil practitioners, and often suppress the souls of evil practitioners in front of Buddha statues to "purify" them.
In the eyes of the Blood Fiend Sect, these monks were nothing more than hypocrites who feigned compassion.
The situation reversed, and the roles of hunter and prey were instantly switched.
...
Thousands of miles away, deep in a dense forest.
Suddenly, space distorted, and Zi Ling appeared, staggering, carrying everyone.
Mo Bai coughed up a mouthful of blood from the jolting, and asked weakly, "Where...is this place?"
Qing Xuanzi looked around: "They should have already left the territory of Myanmar."
Rong Jiaojiao tenderly stroked Zi Ling's messy fur and took it back to the little secret realm to recuperate.
"Now that we're safe, tell me what happened." Qing Xuanzi looked at Mo Bai and the other person.
Mo Bai smiled bitterly: "It's all my fault. We discovered a demonic blood pool deep in the mountains of Myanmar. The demons there were too powerful, and they even had puppets to help them. We were no match for them and had no choice but to use the Nine Dragons Golden Seal. Although we successfully destroyed the demons, the aura of the golden seal leaked out, attracting the pursuit of the Blood Fiend Sect."
A flame of hatred ignited in his eyes: "These scoundrels who willingly serve as lackeys of the demonic spirit, once my cultivation advances, I will surely exterminate them all and cut off the sustenance of that evil spirit's main soul!"
"Young Master, please stop talking," Mo Zhizhou quickly advised. "The most urgent thing is to heal your injuries and rest."
Rong Jiaojiao summoned her flying sword: "We shouldn't stay here any longer. We need to find a secluded place. If the Blood Fiend Sect has a tracking method, we'll be too passive here."
Qing Xuanzi nodded in agreement: "Jiaojiao is absolutely right."
The group boarded their flying swords, and Qing Xuanzi burned away the bloodstains left by Mo Bai and Mo Zhizhou.
Rong Jiaojiao communicated with the secret realm, asking it to help conceal her aura.
A thin, barely perceptible membrane enveloped everyone. Although the effect was unknown, she immediately flew away on her sword.
After searching, they discovered a natural stone cave in a dense bamboo forest.
After using his divine sense to investigate, Qing Xuanzi confirmed: "Although the cave is not spacious, it is enough for temporary shelter."
The group dismounted and entered the cave. Rong Jiaojiao supported Mo Bai, while Qing Xuanzi carried Mo Zhizhou.
A stone platform inside the cave was leveled and turned into a temporary resting place.
After the two took the pills and regulated their breathing, Rong Jiaojiao set up a concealment array around them, and only then did she feel a little at ease.
She released two white tigers. Upon arriving in this unfamiliar environment, the two spirit beasts were extremely wary, their massive bodies taking up almost half the cave. Only when Qing Xuanzi released his aura did they obediently lie down.
Rong Jiaojiao asked telepathically, "We need to continue our journey. Do you want to follow us for now and release us back into the mountains when we find a suitable place, or do you want to stay here?"
After the two white tigers exchanged low growls, a girlish voice entered Rong Jiaojiao's mind: "We are willing to stay by your side for the time being."
"Let's go back to the spirit beast pouch first."
White Tiger shook his head and pleaded, "Could we stay here until it's time to leave before going in?"
Rong Jiaojiao gently stroked the tigress's head: "Okay, but please keep quiet and don't disturb the injured person's recovery."
The two spirit beasts nodded obediently.
Mo Bai fully recovered on the third day.
After that, he cultivated frantically, determined to avenge himself when he encountered the Blood Fiend Sect again.
Everyone remained on guard against potential pursuers, unaware that the Blood Fiend Sect members were being relentlessly pursued by Buddhist monks from Myanmar.
Those evil cultivators at the Earth Master level have all been "delivered," with only two at the Celestial Master level still on the run.
The two men, still harboring wicked intentions, held a tracking artifact stained with dark white blood and checked it every now and then.
However, due to the shielding effect of the secret realm, they were unable to pinpoint the exact location and could only blindly flee in the general direction.
After lying dormant in the cave for more than a month, Mo Zhizhou finally recovered under the care of the ancient prescription "Rejuvenation Pill" provided by Rong Jiaojiao.
This rare period of peace allowed everyone to rest and recuperate, accumulating strength for the journey ahead.
After Mo Zhizhou recovered, they set off again. Rong Jiaojiao took Qing Xuanzi, and Mo Zhizhou took Mo Bai. The group left the cave to check where they had landed.
Unbeknownst to them, as they left the cave, Rong Jiaojiao no longer instructed the small secret realm to isolate their auras, and Mo Bai's aura was also detected by the two Celestial Masters of the Blood Fiend Sect.
