Jiang Li secretly used his magic power and slowly descended on the surface of the South China Sea, his eyes sweeping over the three female fairies.
There was a playful look in his eyes, as if a master cultivator was examining a child.
However, just by being glanced at by her, the three of them almost felt their hair stand on end at the same time.
Although Jiang Li'an, the deputy leader of Fansheng Dao, does not have much reputation outside, the top leaders of the Three Purities of the Orthodox Sect already know the deputy leader's cultivation strength through secret information channels, and it is even almost the same as that of the mysterious leader Wei Dongliu.
The strength of the clan leader Wei Dongliu has fluctuated greatly over the years. Every time when everyone has an estimate of his strength, he will suddenly pull out a trump card at some point, quickly refreshing everyone's perception of him... So much so that now no one dares to estimate Wei Dongliu's strength, because everyone can't be sure whether he is pretending to be stupid.
However, the deputy leader Jiang Li'an was a different story. In the limited intelligence records, she rarely fought with others, and she never appeared during the several times when the demon sect besieged the orthodox sect. But the intelligence that did appear contained a lot of obviously bizarre and distorted speculations.
For example, the founder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Zizai, has been highly suspected of being usurped by someone. Not only has his style of behavior in recent years been very different from usual, but he has also acted heavily in favor of the interests of the Mortal Sect. He does not care about other affairs and did not even say a word about the deaths of the sect leader and two senior elders. As a result, the internal forces of the Heavenly Demon Sect are now extremely divided, and they no longer have the ability to compete with the Ghost Sect for supremacy as they did in the past.
Considering that Jiang Li'an became the deputy leader of Fansheng Dao after he left the sect and established his own sect, a reasonable inference can be derived from this: regardless of whether Patriarch Zizai was replaced or not, this matter is definitely related to Jiang Li'an, the biggest beneficiary.
What level of strength does it take to be able to control immortals at will?
Because of this, even the most fearless An Zhisu did not dare to attack Jiang Li'an rashly, but just made a desperate fight.
Shi Liuli took a half step back, with the copper coin in his sleeve already in his hand; Xu Yinglian remained calm, but had already started questioning Feng Lan in his heart.
"This person is not easy to deal with." Although he couldn't use magic to detect, Feng Lan still instinctively sensed the danger, "I suggest retreating first."
"I'm afraid it's not easy to retreat." Xu Yinglian glanced at An Zhisu, wondering if he could let this barbarian rush forward and hold on so that he could take the opportunity to retreat.
Then he discovered that Shi Liuli was also staring at An Zhisu, and seemed to have the same idea.
An Zhisu said nothing. Although she was ready for battle, she never shot out her flying sword. This was rare for her who was used to attacking. It could only be said that her natural swordsmanship seemed to have realized that the probability of winning was slim.
"Don't be so nervous." Jiang Li smiled secretly, "Old slave, is this the place?"
"To answer the Sect Master's question." Feitian Yaksha came up to him and sniffed the air a few times, saying, "There is indeed the Sect Master's scent here, but the smell is very faint. He probably didn't stay here for long. He flew to the northeast and left very quickly. It's difficult to track him down. Why not ask these passers-by?"
"Have you ever seen the leader of our Fansheng Dao?" Jiang Li asked with a smile.
No one answered her question.
An Zhisu was in a state of pure stress, staring at the other person as if facing a formidable enemy, without even considering communicating with her.
Xu Yinglian thought about it a little more and realized that the other party still wanted to get the answer from him, so he would not act rashly for the time being... But if he responded, this "not for the time being" might have to be removed.
Shi Liuli's face twitched, as if he had thought of some possibility. He shook his sleeves a few times and secretly made a divination, but he couldn't roll up his sleeves to look. He could only touch the patterns on the zither with his fingertips to tell the front and back.
But Jiang Li'an didn't give her that chance, he just said calmly:
"Since you can't answer, then kill him."
The three of them felt like they were falling into an icy cave. The next second, Jiang Li'an turned into black mist again and flew rapidly towards the East China Sea, disappearing at the boundary between the sea and the sky in an instant.
The Flying Yaksha came forward with a ferocious look, and glanced at the three people with ill intent, and laughed:
"Which one should I eat first?"
As soon as he finished speaking, An Zhisu could no longer hold back and directly launched an attack towards the Flying Yaksha.
She was not sure about Jiang Li'an, but she would not hold back against such an ugly zombie!
The Feiyan Sword stabbed out quickly, aiming at the Flying Yaksha's forehead.
The other party chuckled and reached out to grab the flying sword, as if he was not afraid of the sharpness of the sword at all.
An Zhisu's expression frightened upon seeing this, and the sword techniques in his hands changed rapidly. The Feiyan Sword quickly changed direction and went around behind, while the Hanlie Sword stabbed out from the front again.
Double sword attack!
Shushan's two-handed sword-controlling technique is not as simple as one plus one. Feitian Yaksha was indeed defeated and was hit by Feiyan Sword in the back, but he was not hurt at all.
"You nasty little bug..." It reached out to pull out the sword behind it in annoyance, but An Zhisu was faster and the Feiyan Sword was the first to leave his body, leaving only a black wound, but no blood flowed out.
Xu Yinglian knew at a glance that this monster was not afraid of injuries from swords and knives, so he quickly mobilized all his true energy and spewed out bright fire.
The Great Light Fire has its own effect of suppressing evil spirits, but it is still inferior to thunder magic. The flying yaksha kept retreating in the face of the sea of fire, but he said:
"Oh, it's so hot, this fire magic is so powerful, I'm going to be burnt..."
Although he was screaming like that, there was no sign of burnt black on his body, and it was obvious that he was not burned at all.
"Retreat now." Shi Liuli said, "This flying yaksha is of a very high rank. Ordinary magic and flying swords can't do anything to it. It's better to retreat and seek help first."
"If the three of us work together, we may be able to defeat him!" An Zhisu said gritting his teeth, unwilling to retreat.
"Retreat." Xu Yinglian also echoed, "Even my Great Light Flame can't contain it. Do you think you have to rely on your sword magic, Jiangxiao? Can it be more powerful than the fire magic I specialize in?"
An Zhisu was speechless, knowing that the two men were unwilling to stay, and he was not sure he could fight the Flying Yaksha alone.
In the past, she might have taken an aggressive approach and fought first and talked later.
But now that his junior fellow apprentice brother was missing, An Zhisu had no intention of engaging in an unnecessary fight with such a strong enemy, so he nodded and agreed.
Seeing that the three men were ready to retreat, Feitian Yaksha frowned in displeasure and put away his playful smile.
The request given by Witch Jiang was to "kill them". Although the witch would not check afterwards given her character, if she met these people again in the future, she might have to ask herself the sin of "failure to execute the order".
No one can be spared, they must be killed!
Thinking of this, the Flying Yaksha laughed grimly, suddenly opened his bloody mouth, and spit out a large amount of black and green poisonous mist, which drifted away like a curtain along the sea breeze.
Below the leaky sky is a sea of fire.
After careful design, Chen Guanshui finally came up with a prototype of a magic circle that could inject heat from the earth's fire into it to help melt the fragments of the Sky-Repairing Stone.
Kunlun Jing watched from the side and offered some suggestions from time to time. Although her attainments in formations were not as good as Chen Guanshui's, she was proficient in the way of space after all, so she would occasionally offer some inspiring words.
The two of them maintained a good tacit understanding: Chen Guanshui did not ask her whether she had done anything to him (she definitely had) or why she did it (what good would it do to know the reason); Kunlun Jing did not mention that he had come to seek shelter out of desperation. The two sides were like a couple who had not seen each other for a long time after breaking up. They seemed to be chatting with each other happily, but they both avoided certain minefield topics.
"Speaking of which." Kunlun Jing suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about what you will do next after repairing the sky?"
Chen Guanshui thought seriously for a while:
"I guess he will find a place to live in seclusion and practice, cultivate peacefully until he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, and then ascend to heaven."
"Really?" Kunlun Jing sighed in his heart.
That’s right, which cultivator doesn’t want to become an immortal?
"Anyway, the leak in the sky has been repaired." Chen Guanshui stretched lazily, "The world is no longer in danger of extinction, so just do whatever you want. We still have a lot of time left."
"Maybe I'll take some time to visit every corner of Shenzhou Continent... Oh, and the Eastern Emperor Realm, I haven't really had a good time there either, so I'll have to go there if I have the chance. I won't have any motivation or goal, I'll just go sightseeing."
Kunlun Jing felt a little guilty after hearing this, and thought that he had indeed put too much burden on him in the past.
Traveling and enjoying the scenery, isn't that something that any casual cultivator can do easily?
After all, for most monks, time is something that they will never lack.
But for Guan Shui, traveling around the mountains and rivers without worries is a luxury.
Because he is usually either practicing or handling sect affairs... and he has five accounts running at the same time. The intensity of his work is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so naturally he has no time to relax.
"Yeah, that's right." She hid her guilt well and nodded, "Now that my biggest worry has been solved, it's time to have a good rest and relax."
Isn't my biggest worry caused by this broken mirror of yours?
Chen Guanshui cursed in his heart, but smiled:
"Yeah...By the way, Jing, what are your plans?"
"Me?" Kunlun Jing was a little confused, and after a while he said, "I don't know either..."
Her original plan was to return to the underground palace where the Kunlun Mirror was once placed and fall into deep sleep again.
After all, the task of repairing the sky has been completed, and there is nothing else to do. It is too boring to continue to stay awake.
But later, he asked Chen Guanshui to collect the fragments of his body. Now that he has transformed into a human form, he feels that it is a waste of time to just continue sleeping like this.
Or...I can go traveling too?
Such a thought arose from the bottom of his heart, and then quickly frightened the Kunlun Mirror.
Wait, I'm just a mirror! Why would I want to travel?
And if you think about it carefully, doesn't it seem that I want to go out and play with Guanshui?
If you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be impossible.
Although Chen Guanshui has a low moral bottom line, his way of handling emotions is astonishing, and he occasionally makes some hurtful remarks, but if you don't have the extravagant hope of cultivating feelings with him, he is still qualified to be a simple friend.
Besides, after the sky is repaired, I will have no more requests from him, but he still needs my shielding technique and the Mirror Flower and Water Moon... Then, wouldn't the initiative of this relationship be in my hands?
Hehehehehehahahahahaha!
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Guanshui asked suspiciously.
"Did I laugh?" Kunlun Jing quickly restrained the expression on his face and acted innocent.
"Your mouth corners were curled up just now." Chen Guanshui reminded her, "Your face is almost deformed!"
Kunlun Jing quickly took out a small mirror from his arms, raised the corners of his mouth towards the mirror, revealing eight standard teeth and a beautiful smile.
"Is that how you laugh?" she inquired.
"Lift the corners of your mouth a little higher." Chen Guanshui began to talk nonsense.
"How about this?" Kunlun Jing tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth.
"A little higher."
"Then...what about this..." Kunlun Jing grinned so hard that the flesh on his face was almost squeezed into a lump.
"Almost." Chen Guanshui said nonsense, "Do you think your face is deformed?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Kunlun Jing put away the mirror and snorted, "I don't remember grinning like this before!"
"So you don't deny that you were laughing just now?" Chen Guanshui said quickly, "Can you tell me what you were laughing at?"
Kunlun Jing secretly cried out in dismay, he had actually been tricked by him!
"Ahem." She pretended to cough to buy time to think, and then replied, "I am so happy that I smile when I think that the sky-repairing project will soon be completed in our hands.
"So that's how it is." Chen Guanshui certainly didn't believe it, because her smile was too smug and asking for a beating.
But there was really no obvious flaw in this statement, so he nodded, changed the subject, and said:
"Then you can think about what to do after the sky repair is completed."
"Guan Shui, what do you think I can do?" Kunlun Jing asked cheerfully.
"Hmm..." Chen Guanshui thought for a moment.
For him, of course he hopes that A Jing can stay by his side. After all, her abilities of scanning, shielding and illusion concealment are all very useful.
But it is well known that what women want to be "needed" is definitely not to be needed from a utilitarian perspective, but to be needed from an emotional perspective, which is the correct answer.
At the same time, since Kunlun Mirror and he have been together for many years and they are too familiar with each other, if he overacts, he will definitely be seen through by Ajing's wit.
So he thought carefully for a moment and said slowly:
"I think if you don't have any other plans, you can come with me. After all, you are a peerless divine weapon. If you go out alone, I am very worried that you will be deceived..."
“Hahaha.” Kunlun Jing laughed triumphantly, “You are worried that without me, you won’t be able to escape the pursuit of your wives, right?”
This broken mirror is getting too carried away and is attacking me in the face, right?
Chen Guanshui was unhappy, but he pretended to be embarrassed and said stubbornly:
"That's not the case. It's just because of our past cooperation..."
"I know, I know!" Kunlun Jing was in a good mood, but he turned around and said reservedly, "I need to think about it. That's it! You should repair the sky for me first!"
