Chapter 84

Fen Xiu suffered a great loss in Yingyue Sect last time and left with serious injuries. His injuries definitely would not heal so quickly, but he did not stay in the Demon Realm, but changed his appearance and cultivation level and ran out again.

Xiao Mo's scalp tingled after hearing the answer given by the system. In order to avoid revealing anything with his expression and gaze, he quickly lowered his eyelids to cover the expression in his eyes.

He and Chu Jinglan had caused Fen Xiu to fall into trouble last time, and Fen Xiu had definitely made a note of this.

After sitting down two or three hundred meters away from Lingxiao Sect, Fen Xiu pretended to survey the surrounding situation and naturally explored Yingyue Sect as well.

He didn't stay for too long, but that consciousness still made Xiao Mo uncomfortable.

The excuse Fen Xiu gave to Ling Xiao Zong was that he was waiting for someone. Who was he waiting for? Also, when Su Baimo brought Fen Xiu here before, the look he kept giving Fen Xiu from time to time couldn't have been more obvious.

However, although Su Baimo was eager to make a move and had an idea in mind, he did not dare to do anything immediately because the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and he had not yet figured out the character of this "savior". He could only leave a good impression on the man first and then take his time.

After all, a Jindan disciple can be abandoned at will, and Yuanying is also okay, but if the person who is distracted is a real person, you dare not provoke him recklessly.

If he was a spirit from a big sect and had great potential, Su Baimo would be happy to have only one. But just now, this savior named "A Luo" said that he was just a casual cultivator from the demon clan. Considering the current relationship between the demon clan and human cultivators, Su Baimo did not think he was a good match.

The most popular person nowadays would have to be Chu Jinglan.

Su Baimo looked towards the Yingyue Sect, but the leaders of the Yingyue Sect had moved a little, and with his golden elixir eyesight, he could no longer see everyone clearly.

I heard that Lingxiao Sect had intended to have Wen Qingshui and Chu Jinglan get married, but after knowing that Chu Jinglan had a Taoist partner, they had to give up the plan.

Su Baimo has a complex taste.

He has a lot of little ideas, but he still doesn't know who "A Luo" is.

Xiao Mo immediately sent a message to Chu Jinglan to inform him of the news. No matter what, they had to be on guard against Fen Xiu. Fen Xiu's current cultivation level was at the peak of the Spirit Severing Realm, and he was the most capable fighter in the secret realm.

Xiao Mo was not worried that Chu Jinglan would wonder how he could recognize Fen Xiu, so he quickly told the main point: "Chu Jinglan, the demon cultivator from Lingxiao Sect was Fen Xiu in disguise."

Chu Jinglan's eyes moved when he heard this, but he did not raise his eyes to look for Fen Xiu's location, nor did he show any expression on his face. He was very good at hiding the matter, and also replied to Xiao Mo through voice transmission: "Okay, I know."

Xiao Mo: "He bears a grudge against us. We must be on our guard."

Chu Jinglan naturally agreed.

After all the people from Yingyue Sect gather together, as long as they don't encounter any special situations and don't fall behind, they will be safe at least before the eighth floor. If they can reach the eighth or ninth floor, it is unknown whether Fen Xiu will run into them.

Fen Xiu has a magic weapon, which can give back some power to Fen Xiu after absorbing blood and energy. It is not ruled out that he thinks his recovery is too slow, so he came out to take a look and use blood to sacrifice the sword.

Disciples from Yingyue Sect and the other two factions also came one after another. After waiting for a long time, Chang Daozi finally arrived. The safety of the team increased rapidly. As for Fen Xiu, he actually waited for someone to merge with him. Judging from the appearance of his pupils, he was a shadow demon.

Fen Xiu waited until someone arrived, then stood up to leave. The major sects would not allow him to follow them, so he pretended to be interested. Su Baimo actually walked forward reluctantly to say goodbye to him.

Fen Xiu smiled at him meaningfully: "See you again if we are destined to meet again."

Fen Xiu secretly left a tracking mark on Su Baimo.

Su Baimo's furnace cauldron physique is beneficial to the cultivation of both parties. If Su Baimo had not been injured in the past, he would not be of any use to the burning cultivation. But now that he is injured and in a secret realm that suppresses cultivation, Su Baimo's furnace cauldron physique may come in handy.

The smile on Fen Xiu's face meant that he regarded Su Baimo as a reserve food in the secret realm.

Su Baimo treats him as a backup, and he treats Su Baimo as a reserve ration. Yes, both sides have ulterior motives.

The disciples of Lingxiao Sect were the first to gather. Xiao Mo saw that Dai Zisheng was indeed there. After gathering, they quickly left from Daozhong Plain without staying any longer.

After everyone from Yingyue Sect had arrived, Chang Daozi spoke up: "No need to spend more time on the first floor, let's go to the second floor immediately."

The rest of the major sects basically thought the same way. For example, the Lingxiao Sect, which left first, also headed for the second level. The entrance to the second level was near the Daozhong Plain and it wasn't too far from here.

Although he already knew that there were many seas on the second floor, when he passed through the entrance and actually reached the second floor, the scenery in front of him still surprised Xiao Mo.

Their figures appeared in mid-air, and when they looked down, they saw the vast blue ocean beneath their feet, where the sea and the sky met, stretching as far as the eye could see. Not far away, waves were rising with loud roars, and islands were scattered on the sea, like gems embedded on it.

The elders sensed the aura deliberately released by the others who had arrived at the sect earlier, and led their disciples to an island where no one else was present for the time being.

The Nine Secret Pagoda is the Wang family's training ground. Although there are good things in the first few floors, there will definitely be no rare treasures. For independent cultivators, they can look for things, but for wealthy aristocratic sects, it is more effective to use the first few floors for training.

On the shore of the island, Chang Daozi said in a loud voice: "From now on, with this island as the center, within a radius of fifty miles, including the seabed, each disciple will explore on his own. You must return to the main island at twilight every day. The Wang family has set up a large number of renewable buoys on the second floor. Everyone must bring back at least three every day."

Chang Daozi had a kind face, but he said what needed to be said: "Those who fail to meet the requirements will be punished."

One word made everyone immediately take precautions. No matter how severe the punishment was, no one wanted to be punished. The Yingyue Sect was only prepared to stay on the second level for three days. The disciples took orders and left, and the three spirits stayed on the island.

The spiritual perception of the split spirit was enough to cover an area of ​​fifty miles, so even if everyone was separated, they would never be considered alone. The others went on their own first. After all, this matter was somewhat competitive. Only Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan were not affected and still acted together.

Some disciples moved quickly and flew to the next island to check, some went further away, and some chose to jump directly into the water.

Xiao Mo stood on the shore, watching the tides rise and fall, waves hitting the beach. Chu Jinglan followed his gaze and asked, "Shall we go in the water?"

Xiao Mo had never been to the bottom of the sea in his life. When he traveled through the book, it was a river, which didn't count. He really wanted to see the scenery below, so he immediately agreed: "Okay."

The two flew to the air about a mile away, wrapped themselves in water-avoiding spells, and then dived into the water.

The sound of entering the water was gurgling, lively and hazy. Although the water-avoiding technique ensured that the water did not wet the clothes and the body, the necessary buoyancy was still there. The clothes of the two people spread out in the water and floated along with the waves.

Chu Jinglan turned aside and saw that the person beside him was like a gorgeous flower in the blue ocean, or the most charming mermaid in the rippling water, tempting passers-by to come to his side.

Chu Jinglan looked at Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo was also looking at Chu Jinglan.

Cast from frost and snow, the cold pond hides ice. I don't know if it's because of Chu Jinglan's ice spirit root, but he and water simply complement each other. Looking at Chu Jinglan from such a perspective, one can see a different kind of handsomeness.

Perhaps because the Dongqing Pearl was also produced in the sea, Xiao Mo felt the breath of the pearl on his chest fluctuate, just like his heartbeat.

Xiao Mo wanted to press his chest, but he held back.

With the water avoidance tips, the two could talk smoothly. Chu Jinglan said: "Let's look forward."

Xiao Mo withdrew his gaze from him and said softly, "Yeah."

The Wang family's buoys are said to be renewable, but the regeneration location may not be the same as the original one, so it is not possible to just stay in one place and wait for the refresh. There are talismans outside the buoys, and each has different effects. You have to break the talismans to get the things inside. Some will even attract monsters to the vicinity, otherwise it can't be called an experience.

The seabed on the second layer was very beautiful, with various corals and colorful fish. The water was very bright and beautiful, like a fantasy wonderland. Xiao Mo was very satisfied. If he had not come to the world of cultivation, he would not have been able to see such a beautiful scenery.

He watched these scenes with Chu Jinglan.

After swimming for a while, the two finally came across the first buoy, which was floating in the water. There was a fourth-level monster around it. Although the monster was ferocious, the fourth-level combat power was not enough in front of Yuan Ying. Chu Jinglan killed it easily. The two observed the runes outside the buoy.

In addition to attracting monsters, the rune on this float also has a short spell, which obviously has other uses. However, the person who wrote the rune had a clever idea. With Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan's understanding of runes, they could only read that this part was harmless, but they could not understand it in its entirety.

Xiao Mo wanted to use the system to interpret it immediately, but then he changed his mind and thought that if it was really a harmless but ingenious experience, it would be inappropriate for Chu Jinglan's training career if everything was interpreted by the system, so he did not call out the system in the end.

Chu Jinglan took apart the rest of the runes one by one, leaving only this section. Since it was harmless, he thought about it and tentatively released a bit of spiritual power to contact the buoy inside.

However, just as his spiritual power passed the last rune and hit the buoy, the sea water beside his hand hanging by his side suddenly had a strange suction force. Chu Jinglan and Xiao Mo reacted quickly and tried to avoid it immediately, but they were still pulled by the suction force and bumped into each other——

When they came to their senses and looked down, they found that their hands were inexplicably held together, with their fingers intertwined.

This was obviously wrong, and they did not pull each other together on their own initiative. Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan immediately moved their fingers to separate them, but found that their hands were stuck tightly and could not be separated even with great effort.

The spiritual power that Xiao Mo wrapped around his hand to maintain his visibility was also fixed. Perhaps the rune had calculated the spiritual power of the Water Avoidance Spell. He had no doubt that even if he immediately turned into a spirit or a demon to get rid of it, this hand would be temporarily retained and would not be able to dissipate immediately.

By then, Chu Jinglan will be holding a severed hand... quite scary.

Chu Jinglan successfully took out the buoy. At the same time, a voice hidden in the rune rang in their ears: "This is a small obstacle for those who are teaming up to find the buoy. Don't think you can easily surpass others by working together. It will be removed by itself in three days."

...Could it be that if three or five people come together, everyone will hold hands?

If they are lined up in a row, it will indeed cause great obstacles to the movement.

What a genius idea.

Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan looked at their hands that were inseparable, and were both speechless about the design of this rune. They looked at each other, and even if Xiao Mo could break away, Chu Jinglan would still have one hand holding something temporarily. It seemed that they could only take the attack until it was naturally eliminated.

Xiao Mo: "...Then let's try this action first?"

He thought for a moment and added, "If that doesn't work, and we run into a danger that we can't handle together, I'll transform into a spirit and separate from you. Then I'll find a way to cover up the remaining hand shape."

By then, even though Chu Jinglan would be holding the "Broken Hand" in his hand and could not use his fingers to hold the sword, at least he could still swing his arm and punch without having to drag a demon with him.

Chu Jinglan nodded. This was the only way.

Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan have a very good understanding of each other, so it shouldn't have much impact on the action... right?
