To avoid any unforeseen complications, Liu Yunqing raised her hand to collect the water.

The next moment, a drop of water silently dripped into the stone bowl from above.

Liu Yunqing looked up in the direction the water droplets were falling and saw a tree root about the thickness of a thumb slowly seeping out light blue water.

Liu Yunqing learned from Xiao Fusang that the greatest characteristic of this boundless water is that it can encompass all things and can be integrated with everything, making it a treasure in the hearts of water spirit root cultivators.

However, Little Fusang did not mention the source of this boundless water.

Liu Yunqing thought it was a natural treasure, but she never expected that it actually came from a tree.

Of all the trees in this small space, this one is the most precious.

Liu Yunqing slowly floated up to the same height as the Boundless Tree, and instantly understood why she hadn't noticed the tree as soon as she entered.

Because the tree was very small and had been deliberately placed in a concealed formation, it was indeed difficult to spot at first glance.

Moreover, Liu Yunqing discovered that the tree was actually a bit wilted, and even though it looked good, it didn't look very good.

If this continues, the tree probably won't live much longer.

Without further hesitation, Liu Yunqing collected the boundless water from the large bowl, then collected the boundless tree as well, protected it with spiritual power, and sent it into the Golden Crow Space.

Then he divided the boundless water in his hand into five parts and put them into five jade bottles to store them.

Just as Liu Yunqing was about to leave, his divine sense detected a powerful divine sense firmly locking onto the space.

Clearly, she had been discovered.

There must be some kind of warning array set up around that boundless tree.

Just now, Liu Yunqing was so focused on quickly packing up that she didn't notice anything amiss.

If we go out now, we'll obviously run into people who come to check on us.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be panicking by now.

Liu Yunqing simply smiled faintly, and then vanished from the spot.

Before divine sense could completely lock onto her, she vanished without a trace.

The master of the divine sense sensed the disappearance of Liu Yunqing's aura and appeared in the space in the next instant.

This man was dressed in fine clothes and wore the city lord's seal on his waist. Even without seeing him, one could tell that he was the city lord of Biyue City.

However, the city lord's expression looked rather bad, and his aura was somewhat disordered, as if his cultivation had been abruptly interrupted.

He didn't believe that anyone could escape from the area he had locked onto with his consciousness without a trace.

If the other party's cultivation level is not higher than mine, then the other party is still in this space.

Clearly, the Lord of Biyue City thought it was the latter.

He tried his best to suppress his surging anger and rage, focusing both his eyes and his senses on every detail of the small space.

Even so, the result was still very disappointing; the Lord of Biyue City found no clues.

After searching again without success, he sneered and said:

"Hmph! You do have some skill, but having taken something from a true master, you won't be able to leave so easily!"

As he spoke, the Lord of Azure Water City opened his mouth, and a bee-like spirit beast the size of a thumb flew out of his mouth.

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

The bee flapped its wings and began searching for something in the small space, following the instructions of the Lord of Azure Water City.

Liu Yunqing, hidden within the Golden Crow space, watched the bee-like insect fly over each spot she had touched, and asked Little Golden with some concern:

"This bee seems to be very sensitive to smells; is it really unable to detect us?"

Xiao Jin transformed into a robe, draped it over Liu Yunqing's shoulders, and said confidently upon hearing this:

"Does it even deserve it?"

"that is!"

Xiao Jiao, standing to the side, wrapped her arm around Liu Yunqing's and said disdainfully:

"This damn bug, even if it could detect space, I'd make sure it wouldn't dare utter a sound!"

Liu Yunqing shook his head, thinking that these bees and insects couldn't speak, and indeed, they hadn't discovered the Golden Crow Space.

But the Lord of Biyue City, after receiving the report from the bees and insects, did not seem willing to give up.

Seeing the empty bowl on the stone platform and the vanished Boundless Tree, the Lord of Azure Water City was so angry that he smashed everything in the small space.

He shouldn't have gone into seclusion during this time!

After venting his emotions, the Lord of Azure Water City scanned the entire small space with his gaze, and said in a sinister voice:

“Little thief, I knew you hadn’t left. You’ve managed to evade my eyes, so you’re not bad.”

"But it's impossible for someone who stole my things to get away unscathed!"

After saying this, the Lord of Azure Water City no longer lingered in the small space. He flicked his sleeve and flew up, then covered the futon back up and began to meditate on it, looking like he wasn't going anywhere.

Xiao Jiao scoffed:

“We dragons are the strongest and most robust. If all else fails, we can just dig a tunnel and walk through.”

After saying that, he asked, somewhat strangely:

"However, that person is only at the Golden Core stage. I don't think you need to hide. Even if you can't beat him, you can still force your way out."

Liu Yunqing reached out and flicked Xiaojiao's head, saying:

"Silly Dragon, how long has this Azure Water City existed? How much luck has that Lucky Tea absorbed? Not to mention those cultivators who specifically sought out good luck."

"Do you think they're just an ordinary Golden Core cultivator? Maybe they're just setting us up to ambush us!"

Xiao Jiao raised her paw, rubbed her forehead, and said to Liu Yunqing:

"Then let's dig a tunnel!"

Liu Yunqing nodded, but in his heart he felt that there was probably no way to dig this tunnel.

As expected, under the cover of the Golden Crow Space, the Azure Water City Lord above could not detect Liu Yunqing, but Liu Yunqing could not dig his tunnel either.

Because this small space below is surrounded by an array.

If Liu Yunqing makes even the slightest movement, the person controlling the formation will be able to detect her instantly.

However, it's not impossible to do.

Liu Yunqing sat cross-legged in the space, thinking about how to open the passage while alerting the Lord of Biyue City.

She only thought about saving herself, but forgot that there were four other friends outside.

Meanwhile, Ruan Qing was persuaded by Liu Yunqing and hid herself in a large tree outside the city lord's mansion, waiting for Liu Yunqing to come out.

As they waited and waited, no one came. Just as they were getting anxious, they craned their necks to look into the city lord's mansion and noticed a powerful figure in the main courtyard heading straight for the backyard.

"not good!"

In an instant, Ruan Qing understood who that imposing person was.

She didn't dare linger; in a flash, she headed towards the inn.

Upon arriving at the inn, he quickly told her about the potential danger Liu Yunqing might be in.

"What is that person's cultivation level?"

Upon hearing Wuchen's words, Ruan Qing frowned, scrutinizing him as she recalled:

"His aura is much stronger than Senior Wuchen's; I reckon he must be a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Feng Piaopiao, in her haste, had already pulled out her fan, her eyes wide as she said:

"Whether he's a Golden Core cultivator or a Nascent Soul cultivator, or even a Deity Transformation cultivator, we still have to go and save Zhenru."

"Stop dawdling and let's go!"

As she spoke, Feng Piaopiao was about to step out the door, but Ruan Qing grabbed her arm.

"Are you crazy? You think you can reach the Nascent Soul or Deity Transformation stage? You wouldn't even be able to leave the inn!"

Feng Piaopiao rolled her eyes and shook off Ruan Qing's hand, saying:

"You're not crazy, are you? If I really tell you to leave, then you should really leave and let her face the danger alone."

"I'm not that kind of person!"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qing objected and glared back at Feng Piaopiao, saying:

"What kind of people? If I don't run away, who will inform you? I won't run away..."

"alright!"

Wu Chen rarely spoke loudly, and not only did he stop the two who were about to start arguing, he hurriedly asked Feng Piaopiao:

"Where are the people from the Shangqing Sect?"
