Fire Phoenix shouted, "Ao Bupa, this fool, didn't even bother to find out about the opponent before charging in? Isn't he just rushing to his death?"

"That idiot's underling is an idiot too. This is bad, tsk tsk tsk..."

Upon hearing this, Qingzhu and the other children, including Yingli, clenched their fists nervously, their faces filled with worry.

Seeing this, Mu Qing comforted her, "It's alright, don't worry."

Fire Phoenix chimed in from the side, "Don't worry, don't worry, you won't die, you'll just suffer a little."

Qingzhu and her group, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, were speechless.

Mu Qing glanced helplessly at Huo Feng and then pulled it into her arms.

The fire phoenix finally calmed down after smelling the faint scent of herbs emanating from Mu Qing.

On the arena, Ao Bupa looked at Yi Xiuming, who was dressed in black with his head and face covered, only revealing his eyes. He politely bowed and introduced himself: "Fellow Daoist, I am Ao Bupa, the sect leader of the Half-Demon Sect."

"I have just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. I am here to spar with fellow Nascent Soul cultivators. I hope you will give me your guidance."

He paused, then added, "I hope you will show mercy, fellow Daoist."

Yi Xiuming stood opposite him, silent and offering no response.

There are plenty of eccentric cultivators in the cultivation world, so Ao is neither afraid nor does he think anything of it.

He spoke up to warn, "Fellow Daoist, be careful, I'm about to make my move."

He paused, giving his opponent a few minutes to prepare, before he began to circulate his spiritual energy to launch an attack. However, before he could even unleash his attack, he collapsed onto the arena.

The onlookers, the cultivators: "..."

The cultivators from the Loose Cultivator Alliance said, "Elder Yi is still so majestic and domineering. We can't afford to mess with him."

Just as Qingzhu was about to head to the battle arena to bring Ao Bupa back, he was already taken back to the waiting platform by Mu Qing's golden thread.

Yin Xiuming didn't use excessive force, probably because Ao Bupa's attitude was genuinely sincere.

After Mu Qing administered a small amount of sleeping potion and circulated the wood energy within Ao Bupa's body, Ao Bupa woke up.

Somewhat confused as to how he had returned to the waiting platform, his face flushed red after Qingzhu explained the whole story.

In the dimensional space

Xie Lanzhi awoke from her deep sleep, her soul becoming much more solid, and was playing with the fish spirit in the clear pool.

Yu Lingling really liked Xie Lanzhi's scent, so she leaped out of the water and kissed his fingers.

This made Xie Lanzhi laugh heartily.

Mu Qing immersed his consciousness into the dimensional space and discovered Xie Lanzhi playing happily by the pool. Having lost his memory, he was like a child, able to play in the water all day long.

Upon seeing Xie Lanzhi, Mu Qing suddenly remembered that he needed to find a cultivation technique for spiritual beings.

Mu Qing turned to Ao Bupa and said in a low voice, "I have something to do and need to leave for a bit. You can continue watching here."

Upon hearing this, Ao Bupa withdrew his gaze from Jian Wuqing.

A quarter of an hour ago, Mo and Yu challenged Jian Wuqing to a duel, and the other party accepted. They are currently locked in a fierce battle.

Ao Bupa: "Is there something you need? Do you need me to come with you?"

Mu Qing: "No need."

"I might not be back for a while. You can go back to the courtyard after you're done watching. You don't need to wait for me."

Ao Bupa: "Okay, be careful."

Mu Qing nodded, got up and left.
