Chapter 37 Chapter 37 "He and Ning Shuangchen met again...
Ning Shuangchen took two steps forward, and when he saw no one around him approaching, he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
After a moment, he guessed what the other person was thinking. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Young Master Ye, are you afraid of being seen with me?"
Ning Shuangchen hit the nail on the head with his words, and Ye Yunxi immediately retorted, "Who's afraid?"
He really didn't want to be with Ning Shuangchen, not only because they were old enemies, but also because they had practiced spiritual cultivation in a fantasy for three months.
Whenever he saw Ning Shuangchen, he would remember everything that happened at the bottom of the cliff.
But when Ning Shuangchen said it directly, it seemed like he was really scared.
Hearing his denial, Ning Shuangchen raised her lip slightly and said, "If that's the case, then let's go. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to catch up."
He continued talking as if he cared a lot about Ning Shuangchen.
Ye Yunxi pursed her lips, agreed reluctantly, and followed Ning Shuangchen's footsteps with sword in hand.
After taking two steps, he stopped again, frowned and said, "The Qing Ni beast has disappeared, and has also disappeared without a trace. How should we go now?"
Ning Shuangchen said calmly: "Although we can't track its breath, those demon cultivators can. In other words, as long as we follow those demon cultivators, we can find the Qing Ni beast."
Ye Yunxi understood immediately after hearing this, "You mean, use the tracking technique to track those demon cultivators?"
Ning Shuangchen nodded.
After they finished speaking, they immediately started to act.
Ye Yunxi silently chanted a spell towards his sword finger, and a green light quickly condensed from his fingertips, transforming into a green butterfly, flapping its wings and flying in front to lead the way.
This is the most commonly used tracking technique of the Yunlan Sect. The butterfly flying in front is called a guide butterfly to show the direction for the caster.
Seeing the guiding butterfly flying towards the depths of the jungle, the two looked at each other and hurriedly chased after it.
At this moment, Ye Yunxi felt as if he had returned to a month ago in the Qingxu Secret Realm.
At that time, he and Ning Shuangchen were chasing the same spirit beast in a forest, just like they are now.
No one expected that they would fall off a cliff, let alone so many things that would happen to them afterwards.
He thought that once they left the bottom of the cliff, they would no longer have any intersection, but unexpectedly, after going around in circles, he ran into Ning Shuangchen again.
The two followed the guide butterfly closely, chasing it deep into the forest. After pushing aside the overlapping branches and leaves, they discovered that there was a cliff behind the dense forest.
The guiding butterfly flew to the edge of the cliff, then turned into a streak of green light and disappeared.
They both stopped at the same time.
I saw clouds and mist rolling under the cliff, and there seemed to be a waterfall hanging between the cliffs. The sound of water came from the bottom of the cliff, and it sounded like rumbling thunder from a distance.
Ye Yunxi cast another tracking spell, and the guiding butterfly transformed from green light flew to the edge of the cliff and turned into a phantom again.
It seemed that those evil cultivators disappeared after chasing us here.
Ye Yunxi couldn't help but frown: "Gone again..."
Ning Shuangchen had a thoughtful look on his face. He turned his slightly deep eyes and slowly looked around.
The magic weapon can only be refined with the bones of the Green Lion beast, so those magic cultivators will not give up so easily.
There are only two possibilities for them to lose their trace here: either they have been defeated by the monster and killed, or they have never left here.
There were no signs of fighting around...
While he was thinking, several dark shadows suddenly jumped up from the cliff.
Ning Shuangchen saw this and quickly drew his sword and stabbed at the demon cultivator who was attacking from the side. He protected Ye Yunxi behind him and warned him, "Be careful!"
Ye Yunxi was in a daze, but he came to his senses upon hearing the voice and immediately drew out the long sword in his hand.
Under the bright moon, two figures stood back to back on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by demon cultivators on all sides.
It seems that these demon cultivators had already sensed their presence before they used the tracking technique.
Since the demon cultivator is still here, it means the Qingni Beast is also nearby.
Ye Yunxi turned his head and looked at Ning Shuangchen. While keeping an eye on the demon cultivator waiting for an opportunity, he tightly gripped the hilt of the sword in his hand.
The bright and clear moonlight flowed on the sword blade, and the thin and sharp sword body exuded a bit of coldness. The next moment, several black shadows with demonic energy attacked together.
This was not the first time Ye Yunxi had encountered a demon cultivator, but every time before, his senior brothers and sisters were always by his side.
This time, the person beside him was Ning Shuangchen, his mortal enemy who had never been against him.
Ye Yunxi never imagined that one day he would fight against the evil cultivators together with Ning Shuangchen.
Groups of dark shadows gathered around like black mist. The two men drew their swords at the same time, and two cold sword lights, one blue and one purple, intertwined in an instant.
The cool night breeze blew through the dense forest, and the moonlight poured down like a thin layer of morning frost. The turbid demonic energy and the cold sword energy vibrated above the empty and desolate cliffs.
Just as they were shaken away by the sword energy, the demon cultivators came rushing in from all directions like a tide. The cold wind blew into the black cloaks they were wearing behind them, and they looked like a pair of spread wings under the moonlight.
Ye Yunxi pierced the demon cultivator who was rushing towards him with his sword and kicked it away. Soon, the next demon cultivator rushed towards him.
He quickly drew out a sword energy, then formed seals with his hands and chanted a spell to activate the sword. The sword blade suddenly turned into several green lights, which flew towards the dark and oppressive demon cultivator in front of him like a rain of arrows.
At his side, Ning Shuangchen activated the formation, and in a moment, a beam of light shot straight into the sky.
Afterwards, purple-golden lightsabers emerged from under his feet, suspended in the air, and formed a huge whirlpool-like sword formation on the cliff.
Restricted by the formation, all the demon cultivators were trapped in the purple-golden lightsaber. At the same time, dozens of sword blades emitting green light fell like rain.
But in a flash, the demon cultivator was reduced to ashes under their swords, like a wisp of green smoke, drifting away in the dark night with the wind.
The surroundings soon returned to their previous peace.
The formation dissipated, and the two men sheathed their swords together.
Ning Shuangchen said sternly: "Those demon cultivators will soon come after us again, let's go find the Qing Ni beast first."
Ye Yunxi didn't ask any more questions this time, just nodded.
But just as he finished speaking, a loud roar suddenly came from the bottom of the cliff, and the roar echoed among the cliffs shrouded in clouds and mist.
It’s the Qing Ni beast!
The Qing Ni beast is at the bottom of the cliff!
The two exchanged glances and understood each other instantly. Just as they took a step forward, a gust of wind filled with demonic energy suddenly came towards them, blowing up the dust on the ground and pushing them back several steps.
Ye Yunxi subconsciously raised his arms to block and managed to steady his body. After the strong wind passed, he raised his head and looked towards the sky, only to see a black figure appear above the cliff at some point.
The demon cultivator in a cloak was looking down at them with disdain, with half of his face hidden under the wide brim of his hat, with his arms folded.
He looked coldly at the two people on the edge of the cliff, his voice revealing a bit of disdain and disgust, "Tsk, another annoying sword cultivator."
Under the bright moon, the two stood side by side, looking at the black shadow in the air at the same time.
Ning Shuangchen recognized the other party's identity and said with a frown, "He is the guardian of the Demon Sect."
For the sake of the monster bones, even the guardians of the Demon Sect have come. It seems that it will not be easy for them to subdue the Qingni Beast.
Ye Yunxi held the long sword tightly and said, "No matter who it is, we must not let the Qing Ni beast fall into the hands of the evil cultivators."
"Young Master of the Yunlan Sect?" The guardian of the Demon Sect narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ye Yunxi, then shifted his gaze to Ning Shuangchen, tilted his head and said: "Oh? There is also the Shuanghua Sect?"
Afterwards, he smiled as if he had seen something interesting, and said, "It's strange that people from your two sects are together."
How come they are together?
It sounds like there's something going on between him and Ning Shuangchen...
Ye Yunxi couldn't help but frown when he heard that, and he quickly drew out his sword. The silver-white sword blade suddenly glowed with green light, and a chilling sword aura condensed at the tip of the sword.
"Hmm? You guys want the Qing Ni beast too?" The Demon Sect's guardian still had a faint smile on his face. He looked at them and said slowly, "Well, let's play a game. Whoever wins gets the Qing Ni beast."
As he spoke, a dark red demonic energy slowly condensed in his palm.
Like a glowing ball of light, the demonic energy grew larger and larger in his hands, and finally rose to the sky. The dark red light spread out like stars, covering the entire Qingxu Mountain in a barrier.
As a result, as soon as the light green figures chased from the city to the dense forest, they were blocked by a dark red barrier.
They had fought several battles with the demon cultivators in Qingzhou City, so they lagged behind. Together with the disciples of the Shuanghua Sect who were chasing them, they were blocked outside the barrier at the foot of the mountain.
Song Xuezhou stepped forward first, drew his sword and slashed out a sword energy, but it was bounced back by the evil energy attached to the barrier.
Mu Qinglan quickly helped him up.
Song Xuezhou stood firm with his sword in hand, turned around, and said to the leader of the Yunlan Sect who had arrived a step late, "It was a barrier set up by the demon cultivator."
"It seems that the Qing Ni beast has already fled to the mountain." The leader of the Yun Lan Sect stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at the young disciple beside him and asked, "You just said that you saw Yun'er. Are you sure he went in this direction?"
The person being questioned was Ye Yunxi's junior sister.
"Yes, I'm sure." The little sister met his gaze, nodded, and said with certainty: "As soon as I ran out of the inn, I saw Senior Brother Yunxi leaving the city with his sword."
She paused for a moment and then continued, "By the way, I also saw that there was someone following Senior Brother Yunxi."
The leader of the Yunlan Sect asked, "Who?"
The junior sister said, "Young Master of Shuanghua Sect."
Hearing these words, the disciples of the Frost Flower Sect on the other side immediately looked over at them.
