Yingyue was surprised that she would suddenly turn around, and her face flushed with embarrassment, feeling like she had been caught stealing.

Qingling suddenly turned around, her face flushed, and her heart pounded as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

Lady Shadowmoon~ Were you looking at her just now?

Why is Lord Shadowmoon looking at her?

Is Lord Shadowmoon still watching her?

Qingling glanced at Yingyue out of the corner of her eye and found that he was not looking at her, but was focused on watching his mistress fight. She felt a pang of disappointment.

Unbeknownst to her, Yingyue's heart was pounding as she looked at him. After she turned her head away, Yingyue's gaze fell upon her again.

"roar--"

A loud roar resounded all around, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Monster Forest.

Of those present, only Qingling, whose strength was still at the Great Spirit Master level, was unable to withstand the pressure of this level nine spirit beast. A metallic taste rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Swish!

Two figures appeared simultaneously on Qingling's left and right sides, protecting her.

"Master, are you alright?"

Yingyue frowned slightly as she looked at the man in the purple robe. The man was also staring at Yingyue with hostility. Their gazes seemed to be brewing lightning, and they collided in mid-air, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

Qingling suppressed the metallic taste in her throat, swallowed the pill, and slowly regulated her breathing, completely unaware of the friction between the two men.

After a short while, Qingling realized that the gap between herself and her mistress was widening, and she felt very complicated. She had to work harder to cultivate and keep up with her.

"Little Purple, let's go."

The woman in purple glanced provocatively at Yingyue, then transformed into her original form and nimbly leaped onto her.

Watching the purple and pink figures disappear from sight, Yingyue pursed her lips, seemingly lost in thought. Just as Yin Han was about to say something, Yingyue vanished from the spot.

Yin Han: ...

At this moment.

Swish, swish, swish!

Hundreds of vines stretched out from the ground, as if they were alive, emitting a chilling sound.

At the same time, Ji Jiuying leaped backward to dodge the fierce attack of the Three-Eyed Spirit Ape. With a sudden wave of her Crimson Fire Phoenix Fan, the Nine Heavens Profound Fire transformed into fiery dragons that pierced towards the Three-Eyed Spirit Ape.

The three-eyed spirit ape was entangled by countless vines, and Ji Jiuying seized the opportunity, transforming into lightning in the darkness and piercing straight into the heart of the three-eyed spirit ape.

A scream rang out, a piercing sound that seemed to shatter everyone's eardrums.

The three-eyed ape's eyes widened in disbelief and terror. With a loud bang, its massive body collapsed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble and raising a cloud of dust.

Ji Jiuying collapsed to the ground. This was her first time fighting against a level nine spirit beast. She had been fighting for a whole day, and her victory was purely by luck.

"Mommy is so great!"

Little Phoenix flew down from the tree, gazing at Ji Jiuying with admiration.

"Little Phoenix, you are very amazing too."

“But when I arrive, these spirit beasts will be scared away.”

"Little Phoenix, put away your aura. We'll summon a few more high-level spirit beasts later, one for you and one for me."

"good."

Ji Jiuying patted her head, turned around and took off the level nine three-eyed spirit ape's beast beast, cleaned it, and threw it to Ling Xiao in the space. Ling Xiao was excited as he watched the level nine beast beast fall from the sky.

For him, spirit beasts of level eight and above are a great tonic, not to mention level nine ones.

"Jiu'er, rest for a while!" Gong Mingyue came to Ji Jiuying's side, picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, a look of heartache flashing in his eyes.

"Ah Yue, I'm fine. I feel like I'm about to reach a bottleneck." Ji Jiuying took out a pill from her spatial storage and put it in her mouth.

"I will protect you!"

"Ah Yue, I don't want to be someone you protect, I want to be someone who can fight alongside you."

Gong Mingyue's expression flickered slightly. Someone who could fight alongside him?

"good."

The corpse of the level nine spirit ape attracted other high-level spirit beasts, and the curtain was raised once again on this protracted battle.

In the middle of the Monster Forest.

The pink-clad girl's clothes were already stained red with blood, and the wounds on her hands were mangled and bloody, but the girl seemed not to notice. The coldness on her face did not match her features, and her eyes shone with determination.

Opposite her was a level 6 mantis beast.

The smell of blood irritated the mantis beast. Its two saws gleamed with a cold, sharp light. Its tongue flicked out continuously, and its eerie green eyes were fixed on the girl before it, as if it wanted to tear her apart and devour her.

Xiao Zi hid to the side, her eyes not daring to leave that figure for even half a second.

The man and the beast clashed again.

But for a Grand Spirit Master like her to challenge a Level 6 Spirit Beast, for an ordinary spiritual cultivator, this is nothing more than struggling on the edge of death.

The mantis's saw moves with lightning speed, almost invisible, as if it were one with the air, sweeping across the light and agile creature.

Qingling sensed a dangerous aura carrying the scent of death approaching her.

Xiao Zi's heart was pounding in his throat, but he had just promised his master that he could not act without her permission.

Without a second thought, Qingling picked up her sword to defend herself. With a clang, the sword was split in two, and an invisible force passed through the sword and struck Qingling.

Bang!

With a spurt of blood, she felt as if her meridians were about to snap. Before she could catch her breath, the mantis beast's saw came at her again. Qingling froze for a moment, rolled to the ground to dodge, and seized the opportunity to summon the Azure Lotus Harp.

Zheng.

With hands covered in blood, he continued to play the Qinglian Qin (a type of zither).

Using sound as a blade, killing without a trace.

A barrage of sonic blades attacked the mantis, but surprisingly, all of these sonic blades, which carried a fierce killing intent, were completely dismantled by the mantis.

A mocking glint flashed in the mantis's eerie green eyes. With a single strike, it destroyed the Azure Lotus Harp, instantly severing its connection with her. Qingling coughed up another mouthful of blood.

The girl's pink dress was stained with blood, and her pale face was covered with mottled bloodstains, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

【Master, let Little Purple help you.】

No, I can do it.

Xiao Zi seemed out of control, her purple eyes burning with fierce flames. He wanted to help her; he didn't want her to get hurt.

The ethereal soul transmitted angrily, "Little Purple, don't you dare cause trouble!"

Miss can do it, and so can she. Getting hurt is inevitable, but as long as it doesn't endanger her life, she doesn't want to rely on others.

But the Purple Lightning Leopard didn't want to listen to her this time, so Qingling had no choice but to take him into her soul sea.

Qingling wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and a pitch-black zither floated in front of her, exceptionally calm, dark and ancient.

Like a long-dormant evil spirit, the instrument was covered with strange patterns, exuding a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine. The mantis beast trembled.

Clang!

The melodious sound of the zither seemed to come from ancient times, gentle yet powerful.
