Beside the young boy, the dragon girl leaned in with a playful smirk on her lips and whispered teasingly into his ear, “Xiao Yunhao, so that legendary Ice Fairy is actually your childhood sweethe...
However, Shen Yunhao was clearly overthinking things.
Now that the opponent knew that this magical shield was difficult to break, they certainly wouldn't attack as they had before. Instead, they sped up and flashed to Bai Xiaoruo's inevitable path.
Left with no other choice, the little fox had to slam on the brakes and stop.
"I'd like to see just how... um?"
Before the words were even finished, the little fox flicked its tail, and a white ball of light flew out.
The white orb of light transformed several times in the air, eventually becoming a huge bronze-armored fox, which charged arrogantly towards the red-robed elder.
The old man's expression instantly turned serious.
"A Void Soul Realm demonic puppet? This beast actually possesses such a high-level treasure?"
Shen Yunhao was dumbfounded.
A demonic puppet at the Void Soul Realm! What does that mean? This thing is even more valuable than a high-grade Xuan weapon!
While the demonic puppet was entangling the red-robed old man, Bai Xiaoruo twisted her body and carried Shen Yunhao to the side.
Although the demon puppets possessed the combat power of the Void Soul Realm, they certainly couldn't hold out for long against a true Void Soul Realm cultivator. They could only take advantage of this time to escape quickly.
After this struggle, they arrived at the exit of the second floor, and the first floor was just ahead.
However, the little fox had to stop as soon as it stepped onto the first floor.
An old acquaintance blocked his way.
Elder Mu Kun of the Dragon Blood Sect!
"I was caught off guard and you two little brats managed to sneak in. If you were to escape unscathed, the Sect Master would surely not spare my life. So... you shall die!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he leaped into the air and slammed his palm down in anger.
Then it was blocked by the barrier of the underworld.
Shen Yunhao could sense that the old man in the Void Soul Realm had used up at least fifteen of his top-grade spirit stones in his angry attack.
"Now... is there any other way?"
"Do you think I'm omnipotent?" the little fox said indignantly. "If I were that powerful, I would have wiped them out long ago. Why would I be running away?"
Shen Yunhao frowned deeply, "Damn it... why haven't Elder Shu and the others shown up yet?"
"You called for reinforcements too? I was wondering the same thing, why haven't Xiong Da and Xiong Er arrived yet!"
"What the hell? Who has the bigger breasts?" Upon hearing these two names, Shen Yunhao was completely dumbfounded.
"You're still spouting nonsense at a time like this. Let's figure out how big it really is before we even know how big it is..."
On the other side, Mu Kun was also slightly surprised by such a powerful defensive measure, but he still had a cold smile on his face.
"Although I don't know how you managed to evade the formation here, I regret to inform you that, apart from the Dragon Blood Sect's proprietary communication methods, all other means within this underground palace will be intercepted by the formation! I advise you not to even think about calling for reinforcements; it's nothing but futile hope!"
"Moreover, before coming here, I had already informed the sect leader about this matter. The sect leader is leading the sect's experts on their way. I don't need to break through your defenses at all. I just need to wait for the sect leader to arrive, and you will have no way to survive!"
"..."
Shen Yunhao thought to himself, with the little fox's background, if she really called for reinforcements, let alone the sect leader, even if the eighteenth generation patriarch crawled out of his coffin, he might not be able to defeat her...
"What do we do now?"
This was the first time the little fox had asked Shen Yunhao a question, and her swaying tail revealed her unease.
In fact, with her abilities, escaping wouldn't be a problem, but Shen Yunhao... she would have a hard time protecting him.
If Shen Yunhao really died here, she didn't even dare to imagine how long she would be heartbroken.
Shen Yunhao came to this wretched place because of her. Without Shen Yunhao's Vast Ocean Heart, she didn't know how long she would have been controlled by that strange evil soul's blood energy.
These are just the objective factors. If we add the somewhat subtle and ambiguous feelings between the two, Bai Xiaoruo would be even less likely to let Shen Yunhao stay here unattended.
Shen Yunhao leaned down and whispered in the fox's ear, "Where's your tail?"
"..." The little fox glared at him, annoyed. "What time is it and you're still thinking about your tails! As long as we get out safely, you can touch all nine tails to your heart's content..."
Shen Yunhao: "..."
I never expected that my suggestion would have such an unexpected benefit.
But he didn't have time to think about it now, and whispered, "You idiot, are all your tails sealed here?"
The fox's expression froze, then it subconsciously lowered its head.
He was so anxious he forgot he had a lookout outside!
If the message can't get out from here, why don't the clones outside go and call for reinforcements?
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaoruo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Besides, it's not like I'm completely without a solution..."
Shen Yunhao continued, "This is the first level of the Demon Tower, very close to the cave above... Although this place blocks the transmission of information, it doesn't completely seal off the space..."
The little fox's heart skipped a beat: "You mean..."
“Not bad! Do you remember I have a magic weapon that can teleport me? However…” Shen Yunhao sighed again, “However, my cultivation is too low. I haven’t reached the Soul Condensation stage and can’t control the direction of the magic weapon. If I don’t teleport into the cave and instead teleport back to the second level, then I’m done for!”
"Then you shouldn't use it. Let's stay here and hold our ground. My clone has already gone to call for reinforcements. It won't be long before Xiong Da and Xiong Er come to rescue us!"
"boom!"
The next second, Mu Kun launched another attack on the two of them!
"I almost forgot. If the sect leader arrives and finds that I haven't captured you yet, I'm afraid I'll be held responsible. Let's break through your shell first!"
"Boom! Boom!"
A series of continuous roars echoed, and Shen Yunhao's face turned deathly pale.
"I'm doomed, I don't know if my spirit stones can hold out... You're rich, you must have a lot of spirit stones!"
"I freeload wherever I go, who would carry spirit stones? I only have ten or twenty thousand on me..."
"Holy crap! You have so many powerful magical treasures, yet you don't have any spirit stones?"
"How about we find someone to sell them?" The little fox blinked and said on the spot, "Hey! Old man, I have quite a few powerful magical artifacts here. Can I exchange them for some spirit stones?"
"Sure, open this magic circle and I'll give it to you right away."
"I don't believe you for a second! You're a wicked old man!"
"..."
Mu Kun's attacks became even more ferocious!
Seeing that the spirit stones in his storage bag were dwindling, Shen Yunhao gritted his teeth and said, "Let's risk it all. If we can teleport back to the second floor, we'll just become a pair of doomed lovers here!"
"Okay! Wait a minute! Your cultivation level isn't high enough, but mine is. Why don't you just give me that teleportation magic item?"
"..."
Oh no, I'm so anxious I'm going crazy...
