"Hoshino!"
"Where are you, Meimei?!"
The entire Beast Garden sprang into action, and all the monsters and spiritual plants across the mountains and fields came to life as everyone searched for the two cubs.
In the sky, a defensive array composed of spiritual energy operated continuously, with dragon patterns swirling and dancing, their bodies bearing rows of glowing marks.
The dragon cub and the little kingfisher could see everyone looking for them as soon as they looked up.
If an enemy cultivator tries to break the formation, he will be stunned.
This mountain gate defense formation is specifically designed to resist the invasion of demons. Demons are universally hated, and powerful demons will hide and disguise themselves. The formation also records any monsters that cross the boundary of the Hundred Beast Garden.
Hoshino had promised her that if he left the territory of the Hundred Beasts Garden, he would explain it to her clearly, and he wouldn't leave without saying goodbye like he did when he looked for Xiao Ding.
But now there's been no word from them at all.
"Headmistress, Brother Afeng has sent a paper crane!"
To make movement easier, the three sweet potato siblings transformed back into their original forms and traversed the mountains.
Shu Yan, carrying a paper crane in his mouth, ran towards Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi took it and unfolded the paper crane talisman.
The text above contains only one line: "A maze has been discovered at the core of the Qinglong Mountain formation."
"Headmistress, have you found them?" Little Jia landed.
“No.” Zhao Xi frowned and handed the note to Xiao Jia. “Take Xiao Ding and the potatoes, rice, salt, and oil to shut down the illusion at the core of the formation.”
Once the formation is broken, the little fairy will immediately notice the anomaly.
This person actually placed a deception in the core of the formation, with the aim of secretly taking Hoshino and Mimi out without being discovered.
The only person who could be so familiar with the core of the formation is Rongrong.
"Old Luo, I want to go and take a look at the mountains of the Five Spirits Sect."
The Five Spirits Sect is in chaos right now and doesn't have time to receive them. If they were to go and inform them, they might just increase security and prevent them from entering, which would only cause more trouble.
Anyway, the feud with the Five Spirits Sect had already been brewing for a long time.
If things don't go clearly then, we can just start a war.
Zhao Xi didn't turn back and headed straight into the mountains.
How could they allow a mere mortal headmaster who couldn't fly on a sword to enter the territory of an enemy sect alone? Luo Haiqing and Wu Tuba followed him.
...
Rongrong knelt on the ground, looking disheveled, and coughing up blood.
Her red dress was scorched by Hoshino's dragon flames, leaving a large burn on her arm.
Even after applying ointment, residual fire elemental energy remained on the wound, corroding the flesh that was trying to heal with flames from the depths of the abyss.
Hoshino sat cross-legged opposite him, his back straight, and sweat beading on his forehead.
He was also very upset.
He expended extra effort to break free from Rongrong.
He and Meimei were observing the pupae transforming into butterflies in Qinglong Mountain. They originally planned to bring the newborn butterflies back to the animal park to show the park director.
But then Rongrong suddenly appeared.
She said there was a Feng Shui treasure land in the mountains of the Five Spirits Sect with excellent fire elemental energy, and she wanted to take him away, saying that he would definitely be able to form a core.
Hoshino had been reminded by the headmistress and didn't want to go with her.
But Rongrong is a true immortal, and she reminded Xingye that even after forming the Golden Core, there are ways to improve one's cultivation level, so there's no need to be stuck for so long in childhood.
Hoshino couldn't contain his excitement and decided to take the risk with her.
Meimei heard this too, and since she also wanted to form her core, she came along with him.
As Hoshino walked, he sensed something was wrong.
If the Five Spirits Sect really has such a good place, why would they leave it to their disciples when their own disciples don't even have time to form their cores?
When they arrived at the location, they found a pile of dead cultivators on the ground, all killed by Rongrong.
Rongrong also set up a maze outside to prevent others from entering.
Hoshino saw the illusion and suddenly felt something was wrong: "Why do you insist that I form my core? Why are you so good to me?"
“Because I am an old acquaintance of your Father God, I was entrusted by him, but your headmistress doesn’t believe me…”
She actually said it was to help the Father God.
"You're lying! You're a liar! Father God would never let me form my core. If I do, I won't be able to marry Headmistress!"
Hearing this, Meimei's eyes widened in surprise.
Hoshino actually likes the headmistress?!
She was so shocked she was in shock.
Despite Rongrong's attempts to reason with him, Xingye wouldn't listen and even started fighting with her.
After Rongrong was charred, black smoke began to emanate from her. She even snatched Meimei away, intending to absorb her vital energy.
This black aura and the act of devouring others' life essence definitely belong to the demon race!
"You are not Rongrong! You are a demon!"
Hoshino will not stand on ceremony.
He's not just someone who breathes fire.
He can bite!
He transformed back into his original form and lunged into Rongrong's arms, biting her arm, but Rongrong shook him off.
As Hoshino flew away, he snatched Mimi away and spit several mouthfuls of dragon fire at her.
The movements were executed in one smooth, fluid motion.
He used up his dragon flames, which depleted his fire elemental energy, so he needed to replenish it from the environment in time.
The spiritual energy in this Fire Spirit Cave is extremely turbulent.
Hoshino sat down cross-legged, shielding Mimi behind him. After taking a few deep breaths, he felt his dantian becoming restless, as if he were about to form a golden core.
You cannot form a golden core!
That wicked woman, I don't know where she came from, or if she's a demon, she must be coveting him!
He absolutely cannot let her succeed!
"I don't believe you! Say whatever you want, I just don't believe you! Humph!"
"I infiltrated the Five Spirits Sect to steal their treasured mirror. Look, this mirror can reflect your past and present lives."
Rongrong devoutly took out the Illusionary Mirror from her ring, opened its stand, and placed it in front of Xingye, earnestly advising, "Demon Lord, just take one look!"
