The group tacitly separated Rong Jiaojiao and the others, with two Celestial Masters guarding one Seal Bearer, and lined up in a row to advance into the depths of the ancient battlefield.
"Jiaojiao, be careful. There might be powerful demonic spirits and evil cultivators from the Blood Fiend Sect hiding here. Don't stray too far from me." Leng Qianjue said as she summoned her flying sword.
Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "I understand, Grandmaster!"
She held the Azure Jade Nine Dragon Seal in her hand, channeled her spiritual power, and the Nine Dragon Seal emitted a dazzling azure light, causing the surrounding bloodthirsty aura to slowly dissipate.
The group separated at a distance where they could help each other without interfering with each other, purifying the evil energy while cautiously exploring the depths of the ancient battlefield.
The ancient battlefield was vast, and it took the group several days to purify the bloody aura in one area.
However, no trace of the teleportation array was ever found.
Han Yunshen said to everyone, "Rest now and restore your spiritual energy to its best state."
Everyone nodded, worried that if there really was a teleportation array here, a large number of demonic spirits and evil cultivators from the Blood Fiend Sect might suddenly appear.
Therefore, he always starts to recover his spiritual power after using up about half of it, thus always maintaining sufficient combat strength.
As soon as Rong Jiaojiao recovered her spiritual power, a chicken leg was handed to her. Mo Bai smiled brightly and said, "Here, this is a spirit chicken leg, just roasted."
Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "You eat it yourself. I have my own food. If you want to eat, make it yourself."
Without saying a word, Mo Bai shoved the chicken leg into Rong Jiaojiao's hand: "You are my savior, and from now on I will be your personal chef."
He knew that Rong Jiaojiao loved chicken legs when they trained together, and that she even brushed some spiritual honey on them while grilling them.
Jun Yuangui glanced at Mo Bai and said, "I'm here to save you, so you can be my cook too. I want to eat chicken legs too."
Mo Bai glanced at Jun Yuangui and said with a grin, "How about I repay you for saving my life by offering myself to you?"
Jun Yuangui felt a chill run down his spine from the look he was being given, and coldly uttered a single word: "Get lost!"
Mo Bai successfully disgusted Jun Yuangui, and then sat down next to Rong Jiaojiao with a big laugh.
Rong Jiaojiao still wouldn't eat, and he frowned: "If you're not eating, do you want me to be your chef, or do you want me to repay you with my body?"
Rong Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him, then took a big bite out of the chicken leg, as if she were biting into Mo Bai's flesh.
One bite, and it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sweet and savory flavor that makes Rong Jiaojiao squint her eyes in satisfaction.
Seeing her satisfaction, Mo Bai smiled and asked, "How is it? Has your skill improved a lot?"
Rong Jiaojiao gave a thumbs up, "That's really good."
Jun Yuangui stared blankly at Rong Jiaojiao, feeling a pang of pain in his heart. She had really changed so much.
Lin Xiaoman's eyes darted around the three of them, a smug look on her face that said, "I've seen through everything."
After everyone had rested enough, they continued purifying, gradually advancing towards the center of the ancient battlefield.
However, several months later, they had reached the center of the ancient battlefield. They discovered many hidden demonic spirits and blood pools, but found no trace of what appeared to be a teleportation array.
As time went on, a doubt gradually arose in everyone's hearts: could it be that they had guessed wrong?
Han Yunshen gazed ahead: "Although the murderous aura of this ancient battlefield is heavy, we have not found any blood pools or teleportation arrays, which is really puzzling."
Leng Qianjue: "This ancient battlefield is so large, and it hasn't been completely purified yet, so it's hard to be sure if it's still there."
Elder Qiu Fei of Youhuang Pavilion said, "It might not be in a place with dense blood and evil energy. It might be in some hidden corner or deep underground."
Han Yunshen nodded: "That makes sense. We can't just stay on the surface; perhaps we need to explore deeper underground."
After discussing the matter, the group decided to split up. The five seal bearers continued to purify the surface evil energy, while the remaining powerful individuals used their earth-burrowing techniques to explore deep underground.
Time flies like an arrow, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. They have already cleaned up the ancient battlefield.
They destroyed many blood pools and obtained many treasures such as Xuan Yin Jade Marrow and Blood Spirit Grass, but they couldn't find any teleportation arrays.
The place they had purified when they first entered was now beginning to emit wisps of bloody aura again.
Rong Jiaojiao stood on a high slope outside an ancient battlefield, with Lin Xiaoman and Jun Yuangui standing beside her.
Mo Bai started a fire not far away and roasted a pheasant for Rong Jiaojiao.
She had been using her sense of danger to locate the demonic formations, but because there were hidden demonic spirits on the battlefield, each time she was guided, she would end up finding a blood pool and demonic spirits.
Now that the ancient battlefield has been cleansed, it's impossible to sense which direction poses danger.
"After working for more than a year, we found nothing except some treasures."
She sighed and glanced at the area that had already been purified.
In the distance, several wisps of new bloodthirsty energy were slowly seeping out from the cracks in the ground, like tenacious weeds that could not be eradicated no matter what.
Lin Xiaoman patted her shoulder: "Jiaojiao, don't be discouraged. At least we destroyed a lot of blood pools and stopped the Blood Fiend Sect from continuing to collect energy."
Jun Yuangui leaned against an ancient tree beside him, arms crossed: "The problem is, we haven't even seen a trace of the teleportation array. The Blood Fiend Sect members couldn't have just vanished into thin air."
Not far away, Mo Bai was intently roasting a pheasant, the oil dripping onto the fire and sizzling.
Since entering the ancient battlefield, this cultivator, who claimed to be repaying a life-saving debt, has become Rong Jiaojiao's "personal chef," preparing different dishes for her every time she rests.
"Rong Jiaojiao, have a chicken leg first." Mo Bai handed over the roasted pheasant, his eyes filled with undisguised concern.
Rong Jiaojiao took the pheasant and smiled helplessly, "Thank you, but you really didn't have to do this..."
"How can a few meals of wild game repay a life-saving grace?" Mo Bai interrupted her, a sly glint in his eyes.
Rong Jiaojiao couldn't answer him. She had told him countless times not to do these things, and he had said he was repaying the life-saving grace, but he still did whatever he wanted. What else could she say?
He broke off a chicken wing for Jun Yuangui and a chicken leg for Lin Xiaoman, and left the rest for Mo Bai.
Rong Jiaojiao sat down, eating as she looked at a lush mountain in the distance, wondering if the evil cultivators of the Demon Spirit and Blood Fiend Sect would build teleportation arrays in those places.
Thinking about going to check it out later, a strong sense of unease rose in my heart, as if they would surely die if I got close to that place.
Rong Jiaojiao suddenly stood up, startling Mo Bai. Seeing her pale face, he quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did you find something?"
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, took out a communication jade slip, and sent a message to Leng Qianjue, who was still searching around: "Grandmaster, I've found something."
Upon receiving the message, Leng Qianjue quickly moved to stand in front of Rong Jiaojiao and asked, "Jiaojiao, what did you find? Where is it?"
