At this moment, the sound of fighting came from outside. Everyone held their breath and focused. Qing Xuanzi cast out a water mirror, which showed the flashing sword light in the dense forest, and several figures were fighting fiercely.
Qing Xuanzi suddenly stood up: "How could there be people from the Blood Fiend Sect here?"
Rong Jiaojiao exclaimed in surprise, "How could it be Jun Yuangui?" The Lingyuan Sword was already in her hand. "Master, are you saving someone?"
Qing Xuanzi said without hesitation: "Save them! These remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect should be exterminated."
Rong Jiaojiao instructed, "Yueling, take Yuling into the treasure artifact. Ziling, prepare for battle."
After speaking, he used spatial teleportation to instantly transport everyone to the battlefield.
The man and two beasts reacted quickly. Zi Ling spread her lightning wings in the air and transformed into a giant purple lightning sable that was four or five zhang tall. She spewed out lightning and fire from her mouth and attacked the people of the Blood Fiend Sect.
Xiao Jin transformed into a golden dragon several dozen feet long, sweeping away two black-robed cultivators with a single tail.
Qing Xuanzi's Crimson Blood Sword aimed straight at a man's face.
Rong Jiaojiao swung her sword, muttering, "Nine Revolutions of Subduing Demons, Fifth Form: The Milky Way Reversed!"
The sword light poured down like a silver river, instantly enveloping the three Blood Fiend Sect cultivators.
Before the three could react, they were shredded into a bloody mist by the sharp sword energy.
Jun Yuangui's previously pale face suddenly brightened: "Senior Qingxuan!"
He swung his longsword fiercely at the nearest person, severing half of the man's head, and drops of blood, congealed on the blade, dripped down.
"Let's deal with these scum first."
Eighteen talismans flew out from Qing Xuanzi's sleeve, forming a Heavenly Thunder Soul-Destroying Array in the air.
The talisman array emitted dazzling purple lightning, trapping the remaining Blood Fiend Sect cultivators within. The blood fiend energy around them, upon touching the lightning, reacted like snow meeting boiling oil, producing a hissing, corrosive sound.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zi Ling unleashed a torrent of lightning and fire, while the little golden dragon's tail swept across, annihilating all the enemies in the blink of an eye.
After the dust settled, Jun Yuangui suddenly knelt on one knee and spat a mouthful of black blood onto the scorched earth.
"Poisoned?" Rong Jiaojiao quickly stepped forward and brought Yu Ling out of the small secret realm.
Yu Ling jumped out of her hand and nestled on Jun Yuangui's wrist, blowing colorful bubbles.
After each bubble burst, a wisp of black energy was drawn out from Jun Yuangui's seven orifices.
Qing Xuanzi frowned and examined the area: "It's the Blood Fiend Sect's Heart-Corroding Poison."
Rong Jiaojiao gave him a top-grade antidote pill, then asked Jun Yuangui, "What are you doing in the rainforest all alone?"
Jun Yuangui, having caught his breath, said, "We came to the rainforest with some elders for training, but we didn't expect to encounter the remnants of the Blood Fiend Sect. They were numerous, and we were scattered by the attack."
Zi Ling has already looted the belongings of the Blood Fiend Sect members, and even burned their corpses.
Qing Xuanzi nodded and summoned his flying sword: "Let's go, let's leave here first, we'll talk about it later."
Everyone boarded Qing Xuanzi's flying sword, and Jun Yuangui took out pills to begin healing his injuries.
The flying sword cut through the air and quickly disappeared from the battlefield.
Qing Xuanzi found a secluded valley and landed there, setting up a concealment formation to prevent the Blood Fiend Sect members from tracking him down.
Rong Jiaojiao helped Jun Yuangui sit down, while Yu Ling remained on his wrist, constantly spitting out colorful bubbles to remove the remaining Heart-Corroding Poison from his body.
"Thank you all for saving me." Two hours later, Jun Yuan's spiritual power recovered, his injuries improved considerably, and his breathing became much more stable, but his face was still very pale.
He looked at Rong Jiaojiao, his eyes filled with a complex emotion, "I didn't expect to meet you here."
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "We didn't expect that you would be chased by the Blood Fiend Sect alone."
Rong Jiaojiao thought about Jun Yuangui's combat power just now. She didn't expect that he had already broken through to the Earth Master realm. She really didn't know how he cultivated. She was so envious.
Qing Xuanzi sat cross-legged to the side, tapping his knees with his fingertips, deep in thought: "Why would the Blood Fiend Sect appear in the rainforest, and with such a large force?"
Jun Yuangui remained silent for a moment, then took out a jade slip from his robes and handed it over: "Perhaps it's because of this."
Qing Xuanzi took the jade slip, probed it with his fingertip spiritual energy, and raised an eyebrow: "This is... the ancient demon blood pool?"
Jun Yuangui nodded: "We came here to check if the Demon Spirit had made a comeback and was hiding here, but we didn't expect to find a large number of Blood Fiend Sect members."
"That's not surprising. They were originally the blood slaves and puppets of the demons."
Rong Jiaojiao felt that if the Demon Spirit wanted to use the Ancient Blood Pool again, it would be perfectly normal for it to send the Blood Fiend Sect to lead the way.
But how many of them are there, and are they in danger?
Qing Xuanzi returned the jade slip to Jun Yuangui and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the Blood Fiend Sect came prepared this time. Young friend Jun, have you found out their exact number?"
Jun Yuangui shook his head: "We encountered more than thirty people, including a mid-stage Celestial Master, an elder at the early stage Celestial Master, more than ten Earth Masters, and more than twenty Profound Masters."
Rong Jiaojiao was surprised: "Then how many of you are there? Aren't the others in danger?"
Jun Yuangui said, "We also have two seniors at the Celestial Master level leading the team, but there are only a dozen or so at the Earth Master level, and three more at the Profound Master level, which is a burden."
Rong Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes: "Are you implying that I'm a burden?"
Jun Yuangui rolled his eyes at her, then suddenly realized something was wrong and asked, "You haven't even reached the second half of your Divine Soul Technique yet?"
Rong Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him: "Where would I get the second half? Wait," she jumped up in surprise: "How did you know I cultivated the Soul Refining Technique?"
Jun Yuangui interrupted her: "This is a long story. The jade slip I gave you contained the Divine Soul Technique. If you had practiced it, your Divine Soul would have already broken through to the Earth Master Realm."
Rong Jiaojiao was puzzled and sent a telepathic message to Yue Ling in her mind: "What's going on? Didn't he notice that my divine sense power has already exceeded the mid-stage of the Earth Master realm?"
Yue Ling's voice rang in Rong Jiaojiao's mind: "Master, he really didn't notice. His soul power is only at the mid-stage of the Earth Master realm. In addition, I secretly helped you conceal it. Unless you use your soul power to fight, or a peak Celestial Master realm expert deliberately probes, no one can tell your true soul realm at all."
“I see,” Rong Jiaojiao said awkwardly, “At first I thought you were trying to set me up. I looked at a few jade slips, and they all seemed to be your Xuanji Sect’s techniques. There were a few others that I didn’t look at.”
Jun Yuangui looked at Rong Jiaojiao with a look of disdain mixed with disappointment: "Didn't you ever think about what you have that would make me go to such lengths to set you up?"
"Leaving aside the Divine Soul Technique, there's the alchemy furnace, the array plate, the spiritual fire, the array inheritance, the talisman inheritance..." He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and started coughing repeatedly. Rong Jiaojiao quickly used her spiritual power to help him catch his breath.
Rong Jiaojiao thought to herself, "Of course I have one! I still have my little secret realm, which I wouldn't trade for any treasure." But for some reason, she didn't dare to argue with Jun Yuangui.
Qing Xuanzi frowned as he listened, feeling somewhat displeased. It felt like his disciple was about to become someone else's.
