In a short while, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan had already obtained a lot of valuable information from the maid Xiaoxue.
For example, this forest is called the White Jade Forest.
The forest got its name from the several rich mines in the area, which are abundant in jade.
Bai Muxue is now heading to Qingling City. She had previously led these martial artists and servants on a journey through various parts of the Five Elements World to hone their skills.
However, the Shenmu Sect is about to open its doors to recruit disciples, and the selection of disciples will take place in about ten days.
It was for this reason that Bai Muxue returned to Qingling City with her servants and martial artists, preparing to participate in the selection to join the Shenmu Sect.
"You're trying to trick me!"
The maid Xiaoxue realized what was happening and looked at Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan with a surprised expression.
Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan both chuckled.
This little maid's reaction was really too slow. She had already said so much before she finally realized that Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were trying to trick her into talking. It has to be said that her reaction time was really a bit long.
Sun Muqing laughed and said, "How can you say we're trying to trick you? We just wanted to learn more about your young lady from you."
"I...I'm not telling you anymore."
The maid Xiaoxue got off the carriage angrily and ran ahead.
Back in the first carriage, Xiaoxue puffed out her cheeks and said, "Miss, those guys were so mean! I was trying to get information out of them, but they ended up getting information out of me instead..."
"What did you say?" Bai Muxue asked.
The maid Xiaoxue recounted everything she had said to Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan from beginning to end.
Bai Muxue chuckled: "It doesn't matter, it's not a secret anyway, it's just public information. Even if you don't say anything, they'll find out when we get to Qingling City."
Xiaoxue patted her chest and smiled, "That's good. I was just worried about revealing your secret, Miss."
Looking at Xiaoxue's adorable appearance, Bai Muxue smiled and shook her head.
Bai Muxue knew very well what her maid was like.
If there were any secrets that Bai Muxue couldn't tell others, she definitely wouldn't tell her.
Meanwhile, in the last carriage, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were laughing and joking non-stop.
"That little girl is so cute, her clumsy charm is endearing," Sun Muqing said with a smile.
Jiang Lingxuan nodded repeatedly and said, "If I have a daughter in the future, I hope she can be as silly and adorable as that little maid."
Night gradually fell.
The convoy stopped, and the guards following it set up camp in the roadside woods to rest.
Watching them start a fire and cook, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan both felt the strong aroma of cooking.
Just then, the little maid came again.
The maid was, of course, acting on Bai Muxue's orders to bring food to Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.
This time, the maid left as soon as she put down her things, not wanting to say too much to Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan, lest they try to trick her into revealing more information.
Seeing the wary look on the little maid's face, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan found it quite amusing.
Before I knew it, fog had rolled in.
A thick white fog enveloped the surroundings, engulfing the entire convoy.
The thick fog came very suddenly, creating an eerie atmosphere.
The guards became alert, while Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan showed a hint of curiosity.
"Why is it foggy? Night Breeze, is there anything strange about this fog?" Sun Muqing asked.
After carefully sensing the fog for a while, Ye Feng shook his head and said, "There's nothing in this fog... wait, there seems to be something in the fog!"
No sooner had Ye Feng finished speaking than a guard's scream rang out.
Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were both startled, and the two women quickly took out their spiritual weapons from their storage rings.
Another scream rang out.
The next moment, the guard leader's shout also came over.
"Everyone be careful, there's a monster in the fog!" the guard leader shouted.
Just then, a translucent claw emerged from the mist and grabbed at Sun Muqing.
Sun Muqing had his back to the claw and seemed not to notice anything unusual. Jiang Lingxuan did see it, but it was too late for her to react or warn Sun Muqing.
Just as the translucent claw was about to grab Sun Muqing's shoulder, Ye Feng's hand suddenly shot out from the side and grabbed the claw.
"What are you spouting nonsense about? Show yourself!"
With a sudden roar, the night wind pulled the owner of the translucent claw out of the thick fog.
It was a humanoid monster, its entire body semi-transparent, as if it were made of mist.
It had a cloak that fluttered in the wind, a slender and tall body, and ridiculously long arms.
Most importantly, it has no flesh and blood, only bones, making it look like a bizarre skeleton!
Upon seeing the monster, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan turned pale with fright.
Although they were both martial artists, women are naturally filled with fear of such things.
The night wind, of course, felt no fear.
"I thought it was some kind of monster, but it turns out to be a sixth-order vengeful spirit skeleton." Ye Feng chuckled and gently tapped it with his finger.
Ye Feng's finger strike was not a casual one; he used the Void Yuan Divine Finger technique that he had recently comprehended.
The Void Origin Divine Finger is a martial art that relies on the Divine Wood Azure Sky Technique, the fundamental technique of the Divine Wood Sect. The Void Origin Divine Finger may look like it only has one finger, but it actually has three forms.
The first move of the Void Yuan Divine Finger is called the God-Breaking Finger. With a single strike, it can cause the opponent's flesh and blood to wither and decay, and their soul to dissipate, killing without leaving a trace.
The second move of the Void Spirit Finger, called the Binding Spirit Finger, releases a rich life force to generate vines and plants that trap the opponent. Moreover, after trapping the opponent, the generated vines and plants can absorb the opponent's true energy to strengthen themselves, making the Binding Spirit Finger's control effect even stronger.
The third move of the Void Yuan Divine Finger is called the Mind-Stabilizing Finger, which can instantly immobilize the opponent, not only the body but also the soul.
Therefore, once someone is hit by the Mind-Stabilizing Finger, they will fall into a dazed state until the effect of the Mind-Stabilizing Finger naturally wears off and they will regain their senses.
Because it is not only the body that is frozen, but also the soul, the person who is frozen will feel as if they have only been frozen for a moment, no matter how much time has passed, and will not feel the passage of time at all.
Now, Ye Feng is unleashing the first move of the Void Yuan Divine Finger.
As Ye Feng pointed his finger, the vengeful spirit's skeleton began to shatter and dissipate, turning into a large pile of dust.
A sixth-tier demonic beast died right in front of Ye Feng, leaving not even a remains.
"Are the vengeful spirits and skeletons demonic beasts? Not ghosts?" Sun Muqing asked.
