Chapter 324
Lingwu glanced at the trembling little girl who was trying to persuade her to leave, but ignored her.
With a flick of his right wrist, a dark-colored longsword appeared.
At the same time, the spider silk on the opposite side shot towards Ling Wu like feathered arrows!
Lingwu raised her long sword slightly and cut the raging spider silk in half.
The spider silk fell to the ground and shattered in two!
There wasn't a single trace of spider silk clinging to the longsword.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Ping'an slightly opened her mouth.
She had seen this giant spider at her own auction house before. It was a mid-grade fifth-rank demonic beast, and its spider silk was a rare material for refining weapons. However, because this giant spider was difficult to kill, many weapon refiners would fight over it whenever it appeared.
But the black-robed woman didn't seem to use any spiritual power at all; the spider silk was cut off and scattered on the ground.
She had never seen such strength in even her parents.
The giant spider seemed startled by Ling Wu's nonchalant attitude, and slowly bypassed her, trying to escape towards the cave entrance by staying close to the cave entrance.
Ling Wu knew that the giant spider could not escape, but in her eyes it was weak and not worth fearing, so she walked over to Zhu Ping'an.
She raised her longsword, and the spirit sword transformed into a streak of light, pointing directly at Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an had witnessed how terrifying this longsword could easily cut through spider silk, and when it flew towards her, she instinctively closed her eyes.
She could hear the thumping of her heart, and...
The sound of a spider web being torn apart by a longsword reached my ears.
Zhu Ping'an opened her eyes, suppressing her fear. The spider web that had been binding her shattered, and she fell from mid-air!
"Ugh..." she cried out in surprise, but the expected pain did not come.
She saw the black-robed figure below extend his hand towards her, and then she landed steadily in a warm, cool embrace.
"Hold on tight to me," a voice of indistinct gender rang out.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ping'an instinctively hugged Ling Wu.
She could still feel her heart pounding wildly, yet she also felt a sense of unprecedented calm.
She looked up at Ling Wu, from an angle that allowed her to see the beautifully curved jawline and the mysterious gilded mask.
The exposed eyes might be obscured by the mask, but she knew they must be beautiful.
Lingwu hugged the little girl before turning to look at the giant spider.
As expected, the giant spider did not run away. Instead, it took advantage of the moment when she was rescuing the little girl to spit out a dense web and block the entire entrance to the cave.
It's unclear whether he's blocking her path or his own.
Lingwu held the little girl tightly with her left hand, raised her sword with her right, and her spiritual power surged and spread throughout the cave.
Zhu Pingan could not see these invisible spiritual forces, but he could feel the terrifying power emanating from the person in front of him.
"Close your eyes." The low, husky voice sounded again, and Zhu Ping'an did as she was told.
She opened her eyes after hearing a piercing cracking sound.
The spider web that had covered the entire cave had fallen to the ground, while the giant spider blocking the entrance stood there motionless.
As the spiderweb fell with a rustling sound, the giant spider finally crashed to the ground!
The massive body made a tremendous sound the moment it hit the ground, and its body was torn to pieces at the entrance of the cave!
Reddish-brown blood gushed from beneath the giant spider, forming a horrifying pool of blood.
Clearly, the longsword was so fast that it didn't even have time to react.
Zhu Ping'an's face was almost transparent at this moment, and she even tried to keep her breathing as low as possible.
Seeing this, Ling Wu lowered her eyes and said softly, "Didn't I tell you to close your eyes?"
After he finished speaking, the little girl didn't dare to utter a sound.
Seeing this, Lingwu put the little girl down from her arms.
The little girl remained motionless, her face and pale yellow dress covered in sticky spider silk, making her look disheveled and pitiful.
Zhu Ping'an's voice trembled slightly: "I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to open my eyes, could you please not...don't kill me."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw the person in front of her place her fingertips on her face.
The touch of her fingertips was cool and soft, as if she were cleaning the dirt off her face.
It's not just that it seems like it, it's exactly like that!
The terrifyingly powerful man in black robes was actually wiping her face...
"If you don't look, you won't be so scared," Ling Wu explained when she saw that she had misunderstood.
He then bent down and wiped the stickiness off her face before taking out a set of clothes that had been prepared in advance and handing them to her, saying, "Put this on."
Zhu Pingan accepted it blankly, her beautiful, clean almond-shaped eyes filled with confusion.
Seeing that she didn't move, Lingwu assumed that she was embarrassed, so she said, "Don't worry, I won't look at you."
After saying that, Ling Wu walked to the cave entrance, turned around, and faced away from her.
The light outside the cave blurred the edges of the black-robed figure, making him appear as if he were a true immortal whom all living beings were desperately praying to become.
Zhu Ping'an stared blankly at the dress, a blush creeping onto her pale face.
She came to her senses after a short while and shyly changed into the dress that Ling Wu had given her.
After changing, Zhu Ping'an felt inexplicably embarrassed. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Ling Wu, and only dared to whisper his thanks: "Thank you, thank you so much."
Ling Wu nodded in thanks. After scanning the area with her divine sense, she discovered traces of a spatial rift and decided to send Zhu Ping'an out.
If he were to come to her rescue every time like Bai Yu, it would not only be exhausting but also too deliberate, and it would be inconvenient to bring Zhu Ping'an along on the subsequent trip.
Thinking of this, Ling Wu waved her hand lightly, and the spatial rift that was about to close was opened by her.
"Let's go back." Ling Wu looked at Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an naturally understood that the man in black robes had something to do and that she couldn't be a burden to "her," so she immediately nodded and then took off the pale yellow beaded necklace she was wearing on her wrist.
"I am Zhu Ping'an from Xian Ding Lou. If you ever need anything in the future, you are welcome to come to Xian Ding Lou. With this item, Xian Ding Lou will do its best to help you."
But as soon as she took it out, Zhu Ping'an realized that the pale yellow beaded necklace didn't match the black-robed man's temperament, making her feel a little embarrassed to show it off.
The man in black robes seemed to notice her hesitation, so he reached out and took the bracelet, even putting it on her wrist right in front of her.
In that instant, Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up. She had seen the mysterious ring on the black-robed man's finger, but "she" was still willing to wear her childish bracelet.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an felt a strange mix of excitement and shyness at being recognized. With mixed feelings, she obediently hugged her discarded dress and stepped into the crack under Ling Wu's gaze.
When Zhu Ping'an was instantly back in the outside world, where he had accidentally stumbled into the secret realm, he was stunned for a moment, then patted his head and stammered:
"I forgot to ask 'her' name."
"Young Miss!" The person who had been waiting there almost burst into tears of joy upon seeing her.
Zhu Ping'an put aside her earlier confusion and nodded indifferently.
Unaware that the little girl had two faces, Lingwu picked the spiritual herb guarded by the giant spider and casually tossed it into her storage ring.
"Master, I've planted the dragon blood grass for you! Tomorrow there will be two plants, the day after tomorrow four, and the day after that eight..."
Lingwu interrupted its calculations, glancing inward at the vast, boundless space within the Sumeru Ring. "Has the space within the Sumeru Ring always been this large?"
After pondering for a moment, Wu'a denied it, saying, "It's because the master's realm is very high and his soul is strong that the Sumeru Ring has grown larger, and the spiritual field has also increased. If it were a low-level cultivator, the spiritual field might only be three feet square (1m)."
Ling Wu nodded. If everyone were like her, it would be far too defiant for a low-level cultivator like Bai Yu.
Having finished everything and with no worries left, Ling Wu slowly followed Bai Yu's footsteps.
The little boy was pitiful; his disciple's robe was tattered and his face was covered in mud.
"Hmm?" Ling Wu asked with a slight doubt, raising her eyebrows slightly after seeing the mud clearly.
"Ah, that's the spirit of the Sumeru Ring, which has the ability to see all treasures clearly. It proactively introduced: "That's beauty-enhancing mud, which is rare and hard to come by. In ancient times, many beauty-loving female cultivators competed for it."
Finally, it added: "But few male cultivators use it, because it leaves a faint fragrance on their bodies after use. However, if it is combined with the Spirit-Dispelling Grass, the fragrance will fade."
"And this spirit-removing herb is a spiritual herb used by cultivators with multiple spiritual roots to remove other spiritual roots."
As it spoke, a young boy with face-plastered mud on his face was seen wandering into a monster's territory.
And what this demonic beast guards is the Spirit-Dispelling Grass!
Wow, I was so surprised: "He's so lucky!"
The demonic soul within Bai Yu's sea of consciousness trembled with fear: "Take it and run! Hurry! Even if I were to go out now, I would have a hard time defeating the guardian beast!"
As the demonic soul finished speaking, it seemed as if it couldn't believe it. It swept its divine sense across the eyes beneath the gilded mask.
He didn't know why, but he felt that the mysterious man in black robes had discovered him.
"!!!"
"Stop picking! Run!"
