They didn't know how Jimo Shu got this information, but Yun Xian and Xue Lingxiu didn't want to pursue it at the moment.
Liu Shi can get the news about the Ice Shadow Giant Lizard. It seems that the secret of the four-way war has been leaked. There must be someone who knows something that ordinary people don’t know.
The three of them walked along the junction, bypassed the mountain of monster corpses, and finally stopped in front of a huge rock.
Yun Xian had seen this boulder before. It was just an ordinary piece of stone. It was hard to see anything special about it with the naked eye, except that there was a lot of grass on the grave next to it. Jimo Shu stepped forward, cut her finger to let the blood, moved her lips slightly, and recited something.
This seemed quite strenuous, so Yun Xian started muttering to Xue Lingxiu from behind.
"Why did the Demon Cult come to the Four-Way War?" Xue Lingxiu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. "She knew very well that the other factions didn't even consider the Demon Cult among their targets."
The previous war was suppressed by the four realms, so the Demon Cult could not cause much trouble. I wonder why the Demon Cult leader sent Jimo Shu in this time?
"Hmm..." Yun Xian said, "Maybe they're trying to sneak in and put a curse on the decent people, killing as many as possible."
Xue Lingxiu said seriously, "Stop joking. Why are you always like this?"
Yun Xian: “?” Is what she said true this time?
With a slight sound, the surface of the boulder began to fluctuate. Jimo Shu motioned for the two to follow. Yun Xian's eyes blurred and he found himself in an enclosed space. There was a different world here, which seemed to be completely separated from the outside world and had a stone chamber.
"This is the place where the great Xingyan Sect once left behind." Jimo Shu chose a stone chamber and said bluntly, "Give it to me."
Yun Xian nodded at Xue Lingxiu and said, "Give it to her."
Xue Lingxiu: “…………” Forget it. Why would I bother with her?
It seems that Jimo Shu was really seriously injured. As soon as she got the Yingqi Fruit, her face turned sickly red. The blood that she had been swallowing could no longer be restrained and slowly flowed out from the corner of her mouth, and her lips turned pale in an instant.
It seems that she is really having a hard time enduring in order not to reveal anything unusual.
Clutching the miraculous fruit, her charming eyes swept across the two of them. Finally, she snorted coldly and turned back into the stone chamber. The stone door slammed shut.
Although he didn't say anything, everything was implied.
"Just wait for me."
Yun Xian and Xue Lingxiu stood there, feeling a chill on their backs.
Xue Lingxiu handed her another strange fruit and said, "You can go too. By the way, what else should I pay attention to?"
Yun Xian: "Apart from Jimo Shu, there's nothing else to watch out for. Remember to put on three shields before you come out."
Xue Lingxiu said, "We knew she was this kind of person, but we still gave her the strange fruit. We are really courting disaster."
He could only sigh. After all, given the situation just now, it was a helpless move.
"It's okay, we just need to try to get out as quickly as possible." Yun Xian comforted him, "Jimo Shu still needs to heal. She's so badly injured that she won't be able to recover soon."
Xue Lingxiu still had concerns: "What if we are slower than her?"
Yun Xian was laughing again: "That's why I put three shields on myself before I said it."
"..." Xue Lingxiu took a deep breath and said, "Miss Yun, sometimes I really regret agreeing to go with you."
Yun Xian understood. When he called her by her full name, he was usually in a good mood. When he called her "Miss Yun," he would start to sound sarcastic. However, a mature swordsman didn't care about others' ridicule. She sighed and said philosophically, "Life is a journey of constant regret."
Xue Lingxiu's stone door also slammed shut.
Yun Xian took the infant fruit and walked in, slumped on the stone platform, but did not start absorbing it immediately.
The infant fruit grows on the top of a snowy mountain. It is translucent and has no skin. The densely packed roots and spiritual veins inside can be seen clearly, emitting a vibrant atmosphere.
If nothing unexpected happens, after absorbing it, Yun Xian's cultivation level will probably reach the ninth level of the Golden Core, and the gap between him and the Half-Step Nascent Soul will be much narrower. He won't have to run away from Liu Shi and others all day long.
She sat, seemingly waiting for something.
At this moment, Yun Xian's left arm suddenly felt a surge of veins, and scarlet spiritual energy surged through the narrow meridians. Soon, the large eyeball appeared in her left palm again. Taiping Sword said to her domineeringly, "Give it to me."
Yun Xian sighed, "...What an unfilial sword."
You are not there when you are needed, but when it comes to sharing the credit, you run away faster than anyone else.
"Hurry up!" Taiping Sword blinked wildly, and its red eyes stared at Yun Xian, even with a bit of beast-like greed.
Seeing that it was so anxious that it was about to grow legs out of his arms, Yun Xian said calmly: "If I don't give it to you, what can you do to me?"
Taiping: "Give it to me! Give it to me!"
Yun Xianqiu settled the score later: "I called you before, but you refused to come out, didn't you?"
Taiping Sword uttered a few depressed grunts and finally agreed to talk to her nicely.
"...If you're willing to hand it over to me." It said reluctantly: "Next time, if you let me take action, I can use my sword."
Yun Xian began to bargain: "Just one sword?"
Taiping: "Give it to me quickly!"
Well, after only a sentence and a half, it returned to its old ways again, and was about to become manic and roll over.
Yun Xian looked at the sword energy surging across his palm, seeming to be lost in thought.
She had been wondering before, if the Taiping Sword was really the sect's sword of Jiange, how could it be taken away so easily by Zhong Changyao in the story?
And apart from anything else, just this appearance, this parasitic method... isn't it a bit too unethical? Someone would totally believe it if it was a demonic sword.
"Taiping, I have something to ask you." Yun Xian stroked his chin, hissed, and asked, "Tell me, are you the one who is suppressing the sect, or are they the ones who are suppressing you?"
Taiping's eyes suddenly froze.
"Oh, judging by this reaction," Yun Xian said, understandingly, "it should be the latter."
Taiping: “…………”
Seeing that the matter was exposed, the Taiping Sword was quiet for a rare moment. The next moment, a terrifying blood-red shadow slowly appeared in front of Yun Xian's eyes.
It was a huge sword without a sheath, and the hilt was stained with blood. It was clearly just an illusory shadow, but it exuded an endless aura of killing, making people tremble and hold their breath.
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"
Taiping Sword said indifferently: "Since you already know, then hand over the things."
Yun Xian: "Does the sword agreement still stand?"
"What a joke." Taiping sneered impatiently, "If you want to wield my Taiping Sword, first take a look at your own level of cultivation. A mere Jindan cultivator dares to say anything to me? If I really do as you wish, it will be a great humiliation!"
"Oh." Yun Xian: "Is that so."
Seeing that she had no intention of moving, Taiping patiently asked, "Do you have any other questions? Ask them quickly."
Yun Xian: "So if I don't give it to you, what can you do to me?"
Taiping: “???”
After Yun Xian finished speaking, she swiftly crushed the infant fruit, and powerful spiritual energy instantly rushed into her meridians. The Taiping sword energy was so strong that the hilt of the sword swayed and light flowed in all directions. Then she spoke in a series of incomprehensible words, such as "bastard Yun Xian" and "how dare you", which made Yun Xian stuff the dark gel into her ears. The realm of swords and knives was suddenly filled with a peaceful air.
Outside the safe zone, night fell little by little. The bloody smell of the pile of monster corpses finally attracted the nearby monsters, which were slowly gathering here and devouring each other.
In the safe zone, an excessively rich spiritual energy filled the room, endlessly. Yun Xian sat on the stone platform with his eyes closed.
Inside the Dantian, countless spiritual energies turned into raindrops, accumulated bit by bit, brushed over the tiny light spot in the center, continuously absorbed, grown, and blended, and in the end, it actually took on a vague human shape.
It started raining in the secret realm, and rumbling thunder was heard from the stone chamber next door, covering the sky and the earth.
Finally, the infant fruit turned into powder in Yun Xian's palm and was completely absorbed.
Yun Xian took a deep breath, stood up, and felt the abundant spiritual energy all over his body. Qi Shuang's sword also clanged slightly in the scabbard, as if it was happy for its master's improved strength.
The ninth level of the Golden Elixir is only one step away from the Nascent Soul.
Yun Xian removed the dark gel. Taiping Sword, probably tired of scolding, uttered a half-dead "Just wait for me" before diving back in. It was obvious that with its temperament, even following Yun Xian's wishes was a great humiliation, and it was likely gathering strength to cause trouble again.
Yun Xian is now facing internal and external troubles.
But there was not much worry on Yun Xian's face, instead he pushed the stone door with a refreshed look!
As luck would have it, Xue Lingxiu was already waiting for her outside. He looked as cheerful as a spring breeze and his aura had become much stronger. He must have successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
Yun Xian sympathetically changed the subject: "Fellow Daoist Xue, how do you feel?"
"Not bad." Xue Lingxiu clapped his folding fan against his palm and said with a smile, "It would be even better if a few more people came to treat me."
It seems to be good. I didn’t have the heart to take his broken folding fan before.
There was still one person missing. Yun Xian looked around and asked, "Where's Jimo Shu? Hasn't she come out yet?"
Hearing this question, Xue Lingxiu paused, her tone somewhat subtle, "Not really. There's no sign of anyone in the stone chamber, so she must have left already."
He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and thought Yun Xian was going to say something like "I was judging others by my own standards", but Yun Xian frowned, as if she was acting like a sister: "Gone? Why didn't you call me?"
Xue Lingxiu: “…”
So what?? Do you still want to go back to the Demonic Cult with her??
"I don't know what time it is now." Inside the stone chamber, it was impossible to distinguish the sun from the moon. Xue Lingxiu fetched the projection stone and took a look. He realized that even just by looking at the score, he could glimpse the intensity of the battle between the two northwestern realms. You're on top, I'm down, I'm down, you're up, the fight is endless.
"It's okay." Yun Xian comforted him again, "At least we are stable."
Consistently last and second to last.
Taiping Jian was narrow-minded and continued to whisper, "Serves you right! I will never do anything!"
Xue Lingxiu had given up on correcting her. He patted his folding fan and said, "Let's go. I hope we don't encounter too many monsters—"
Before he could finish his words, the two men slipped out and unfortunately, they scared a ghost jackal that was hissing there. The skeletal jackal then stepped on their feet and let out a deafening roar.
In an instant, the surrounding ghost jackals, their eyes burning with will-o'-the-wisp, moved towards them, flashing with desire for human flesh. In an instant, they stomped on all fours, stretched out their sharp claws, and rushed towards the two men in groups, furiously!
Xue Lingxiu: “!!!”
What bad luck! A group of Jindan monsters, it's better not to fight, if you can't afford to provoke, you can afford to avoid. Yun Xian was about to run away, but suddenly someone grabbed the back of her neck. Xue Lingxiu dragged her in the opposite direction. Even so, his hand still didn't touch Yun Xian's neck.
My mysophobia has struck again.
Yun Xian was taking a slow ride, feeling uncomfortable and a bit out of place. "Wait a minute, Brother Xue, shouldn't I be the one taking you flying?"
Xue Lingxiu was suspicious for a moment, then said, "I just want to see how much improvement I can make in the Nascent Soul stage."
His words made Yun Xian suddenly enlightened.
Xue Lingxiu was carrying it when Yun Xian suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Brother Xue, put me down. You go first."
"...What are you going to do now?"
"I have my own plans. I won't die, so I'll be fine."
Xue Lingxiu was used to it, so she loosened her grip, and Yun Xian rolled beautifully to the ground. He patted the corners of his clothes and waved at him, meaning that you go first.
Forget it, as long as he is not dead, he can be saved.
Xue Lingxiu didn't know why he was so confident in her, so he took the lead. The ghost jackals behind him continued to move forward with unabated momentum, and plowed towards Yun Xian with overwhelming force. However, Yun Xian was not in a hurry, and even revealed a flaw, which almost ripped his intestines apart because of their sharp claws.
It was really too dangerous. If it weren't for her incredible speed, she would have died countless times. Of course, she knew this in her heart. From an outsider's perspective, she was not far from dying on the spot.
At the critical moment of life and death, the Taiping sword in his left arm slowly moved, as if he could no longer sit still.
If Yun Xian dies, won’t it die too?
Another brush with the past, Yun Xian's clothes were ripped, and he was about to be submerged in the jackals. He finally couldn't lie dormant any longer, and vaguely wanted to poke his head out -
Then Yun Xian slapped him back.
"No, no. Taiping, please don't." Yun Xian said sincerely, "You said that before, how can I have the nerve to embarrass you now?"
Taiping: “?”
After another narrow escape, Taiping struggled to stick his head out again.
Yun Xian pressed it back.
"No, if I say no, then I don't need it. Don't worry, this is just a small matter."
Taiping: “???”
Its eyes rolled wildly in Yun Xian's palm, and it was frightened. Before it could speak, Yun Xian covered it completely with his right hand.
"Do you look down on me?" Yun Xian's voice came from above his head: "Just ask if you look down on me? What's the big deal..."
With a loud bang, a shocking sword light emerged, and the entire sky was blank for a moment. With unparalleled sword energy, it swept towards the evil jackal behind him.
In an instant, all the jackals froze and fell to the ground. In an instant, there was no sound at all in this area.
There was only a sword mark on the throat, and dark purple blood slowly flowed out.
Yun Xian stood in front of the jackals and slowly stopped.
"Wow." She raised her left palm and exclaimed sincerely to Taiping Jian, who had already started rolling his eyes, "You are really strong!"
