Chapter 232: Old Fox Pretending to be Young

Jiang Jiu subconsciously touched the Netherworld Bracelet on her wrist, but the next second, she silently withdrew her hand, summoned the Bai Ze Long Halberd, and used the white light shield to completely isolate the ghost from the outside.

"It turned out to be a ghost that had lost its mind."

Jiang Jiu touched her chin. Perhaps because she had been with Yu Zimo for a long time, she had a very accurate grasp of the types and powers of ghosts. She only needed to take a glance to know whether it was ferocious, how many people it had killed, and how many souls it had eaten.

The one in front of him has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and is close to the Spirit Transformation stage. If someone else were here, they would probably be wiped out.

"But why is there a ghost here?"

Jiang Jiu touched his chin, feeling that something was a little strange.

"Boss, this was originally where the villagers at the foot of the mountain dumped their dead."

Xiaoxia stepped forward to explain at the right time, with deep worry in her eyes.

"Our luck is not very good. Most of the evil spirits here have reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Fairy, let's retreat first. We can find another way to enter the Immortal Stone Secret Realm."

Ye Qingyuan also spoke at the same time. In their eyes, although Jiang Jiu's strength was unfathomable, the evil spirit in front of them was obviously more oppressive and more terrifying.

"Um?"

Jiang Jiu didn't listen carefully to what they said. He swung out Bai Ze's long spear and slashed it straight across the body of the vengeful spirit.

Bai Ze has the ability to restrain evil ghosts, so dealing with evil spirits of this level is even easier for him.

Accompanied by a shrill cry, the resentful soul turned into a black gas and flew away.

Jiang Jiu stopped moving in mid-air, and after a while, she finally realized what they had said.

She turned her head and, as expected, saw that they all had stunned expressions on their faces, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Was she too decisive? Should she have pretended earlier so that she wouldn't have scared them?

Jiang Jiu thought with a little regret.

"Boss...Boss...you..."

Ye Qingyuan stuttered and pointed at Jiang Jiu, but soon realized that it was very impolite to do so and would easily offend Jiang Jiu. He quickly withdrew his hand, but his expression still remained in disbelief.

"Hmm....this ghost isn't very strong."

Jiang Jiu calmly withdrew the Bai Ze halberd in his hand, his eyes slightly vague.

"Oh, is that so?"

Xiaoxia was a little skeptical at first, but seeing that Jiang Jiu had an expressionless face and didn't look like he was lying at all, she finally nodded as if she understood and believed what Jiang Jiu said.

"We can move on now."

Jiang Jiu pointed to the depths of the dense forest and quickly changed the topic. As long as no one asked further questions, the matter would be over.

When the four heard this, they immediately nodded frantically like chicks pecking at rice. The scene just now was really shocking.

Even a fool would know that this time he should have found a big boss.

During the subsequent search process, they did not encounter any monsters or evil spirits, and everything went surprisingly smoothly.

Until Ye Qingyuan made a very surprised sound not far away.

"Fairy, I think I found it!"

Several people around him looked in his direction and saw a faint golden light coming through a crack in the cliff. It would not be visible without careful observation.

Jiang Jiu left his spot, appeared near the cliff, and reached out to knock inside.

What came out from inside was an empty echo, which means that this might indeed be the entrance to the secret realm of fairy stone.

"Get out of the way."

After Jiang Jiu finished saying this, the four of them all retreated. Jiang Jiu accumulated spiritual power in his fingertips. With the help of the spell, lightning flashed faintly at his fingertips. With a "whoosh" sound, the cliff wall and the compressed spiritual power suddenly collided with each other, making a loud bang.

At the same time, smoke and dust rose up, and it was impossible to see where Jiang Jiu was.

"That's the entrance. Let's go in quickly. If there's such a loud noise here, many monks nearby will notice it."

Jiang Jiu's cold and indifferent voice came from the dust. The four people finally found Jiang Jiu's location and groped their way towards her.

The vortex-like entrance gradually swallowed the five people one by one. When the dust completely settled, there was nothing left on the spot.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure suddenly appeared at the spot. The corner of his light purple clothes flashed by, and he followed into the entrance of the secret realm of the fairy stone.

...

When Jiang Jiu opened his eyes again, he quickly glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw four familiar figures.

Fortunately, the teleportation array here is more reliable than the one in the Monster Spirit Realm, and it did not separate them during the teleportation.

Since you promised to protect them, you should at least take some responsibility.

After they recovered, everyone began to observe the surrounding environment. The scenery here was very consistent with the name of the secret place. There were protruding mountains everywhere, strange rocks and rugged ridges.

It seems that their luck is not very good. It is not easy to get out of the place they are teleported to, and it is difficult to find any treasures nearby.

Just getting out takes a long time.

If you don't have a certain level of strength, you might get lost in the mountains.

Ye Qingyuan remained very calm in the face of such a hellish start. The jade talisman hanging around his neck flashed, and he turned around and spoke to Jiang Jiu.

"Fairy, we are in the southeast of the secret realm, this is the Rocky Mountain."

Seeing that he was confident, Jiang Jiu was not too worried. He just nodded slightly, pretending to have heard it.

"There's a fairly flat road on the side of the Rocky Mountain. We can go out from here, but if the fairy wants the Qiankun Stone Marrow, we can go a little further into the Rocky Mountain."

Ye Qingyuan was very respectful to Jiang Jiu while speaking, and it was obvious that he treated Jiang Jiu as his backbone.

"The Qiankun Stone Marrow is guarded by the Mausoleum Stone Statue, but with the Fairy's strength, it should be no problem."

Jiang Jiu thought about it and then spoke.

"Well... let's go and take a look inside."

Now that we have entered the secret realm, it would be a pity not to take away some rare treasures.

"Okay, fairy!"

Ye Qingyuan's eyes lit up. The Qiankun Stone Marrow was a very precious material for cultivation. If the fairy was willing to let some of it slip through her fingers, their trip would not be in vain.

After all, if they relied on themselves, they wouldn't be able to get here.

"Let's go."

Jiang Jiu waved his hand. He didn't know if it was because he was used to it, but now he had become immune to their admiring gazes. It turned out that people really can become arrogant.

After leaving those male protagonists who were born with extraordinary talents in cultivation, I feel like I have become a better person and I am no longer inferior.

I thought to myself as I was drunk on ginger wine.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Jiang Jiu had just taken a few steps when he saw a furry, snow-white, fluffy little fox in front of him. At this moment, it was holding up its light pink plum blossom paws, tilting its head and looking at Jiang Jiu innocently.

At the same time, Jiang Jiu heard two low screams behind him.

“So cute!”

"How come there is such a cute little fox here!"

Jiang Jiu was suddenly speechless. Who on earth had provoked him?

Why is the old fox suddenly pretending to be young?
