Chapter 17: Soul Chasing Talisman
Yue Qiran jumped onto the tree, looked down at them, and asked, "I have a problem. Does it have anything to do with you?"
The two were stunned, as if... it didn't matter.
"Why are you chasing me?"
“…”
"It's because of you that I can't get out now."
“…”
"And you ate my roast rabbit."
“…”
Facing her accusation, Zhou Xisuo looked around uncomfortably, but finally raised his head and continued stubbornly with red ears: "This is our fault, but what's wrong with you showing us your appearance?"
She swung her legs and asked slowly, "Who of you will marry me?"
Hearing this, the two were stunned. Xu Zhiruo swallowed hard and said, "Miss, we are cultivators and we don't get married easily."
"Then don't look at my appearance."
Yue Qiran jumped down from the tree and said fiercely, "There is a rule in our family. The first man from another family who sees my appearance must either die or marry me."
There are many forces on the Xuanyue Continent, and there are also many strange rules, but this is the first time they have heard of such rules.
Seeing them looking at each other in bewilderment, she felt much better. As expected, it was easy to have fun when you were around interesting young people.
After a while, they finally gave up trying to see her appearance and asked, "Why did you go to No Man's Land?"
She smiled and said, "Hasn't anyone told you that people who meddle in other people's affairs don't live long?"
Xu Zhiruo felt an inexplicable chill on the back of his neck. He had a feeling that if he continued to ask, something terrible would happen. Looking at his companion who was about to speak, he quickly pulled him back and said, "I'm sorry, we shouldn't ask so many questions. But since our meeting is fate, my name is Xu Zhiruo, and my companion is Zhou Xisuo. What's your name, young lady?"
So honest? He actually said his real name. Yue Qiran raised her eyes in surprise—she had already known the names of these two people over the past three days.
Looking at the two people who were still waiting for her answer, she said, "Just call me Xiaoqi."
"The girl is too wary of us."
"Why should I believe you?"
Zhou Xisuo frowned and said, "We are disciples of Minglan Sect."
"The Minglan Sect's Punishment Hall has a bad reputation."
There was a hint of disgust in his tone: "That was caused by the traitor. Now that she is dead, she will naturally not do those things again."
Yue Qiran was silent for a moment, then asked, "Traitor?"
"He's a traitor who defected to a foreign race. There's nothing much to say. He deserves to die."
Xu Zhiruo suddenly interrupted, "Let's not talk about this for now. How are we going to get out?"
"Find the core of the formation." Her tone became cold.
Although they were a little surprised, they didn't think much about it. Their attention was drawn to the word "formation core". Zhou Xisuo looked at her in astonishment: "Is there a formation here?"
She paused in her movement, looking over with even greater surprise than they did, blurting out, "Your hall master actually let you out?!"
The disbelief in his tone shocked the two of them. Zhou Xisuo said awkwardly, "How can you grow without experience?"
At this level, coming out to train would probably mean death. However, it seems that the person in charge of the Punishment Hall is indeed not Xing Zhan anymore.
Xu Zhiruo said as if jokingly, "We've been wandering around for so long and didn't know it was a formation. How did Miss Xiaoqi know? Could it be a senior?"
Yue Qiran snorted lightly, and said calmly: "I'm only fifteen years old this year. Besides, if I were a senior, would you guys chase me like this?"
That seems to be the case.
Xu Zhiruo smiled sheepishly. Then, a light bulb went off in her head, and she asked, "Are you so hungry because you can't catch any prey?"
The two were silent, and even Xu Zhiruo hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Yue Qiran was completely speechless. What kind of immortal cultivator was this? He couldn't even catch such fragile prey.
She couldn't help but shook her head. "Minglan Sect is a major sect after all. How could they allow disciples like you to come out? Isn't this just asking for death?"
When Zhou Xisuo heard her criticize Lan Zong, he immediately became furious and said, "No one expected this to happen. Besides, the animals here are very sensitive and it's not that easy to catch them. And the person we want to capture this time is only in the Body Refining Stage like us. We can't let those seniors in the Foundation Establishment Stage come here, right?"
Oh no, they even mentioned the mission. If everyone behaves like this, then the Minglan Sect will be doomed.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiruo immediately realized something was wrong and stopped his companion who was about to continue talking, changing the subject: "Miss Xiaoqi, how do we find the center of the formation?"
She rubbed her forehead and glanced weakly at their storage bags: "Don't you have any spells or spiritual tools you can use?"
Zhou Xisuo thought about it again and again, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes! There are a few North Guiding Talismans."
Soon, his expression darkened again: "But it may not be useful in the formation."
She stretched out her hand. Zhou Xisuo was confused for a moment, but he quickly reacted and took the talisman out of the storage bag.
Really defenseless.
Yue Qiran looked at the talismans, carefully identifying them, and then said, "Try one first."
Soon, the talisman spun around in the air and finally spontaneously combusted...
She sighed: "It seems useless."
Then the two of them watched as she stuffed the remaining talismans into her pocket.
Zhou Xisuo asked in a low voice, "Miss Xiaoqi, what are you doing?"
"If you don't want to give it, take it yourself." She smiled and put her hands behind her back and straightened her chest.
The two of them took a step back awkwardly. He blushed and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, just consider it a gift to the girl."
Yue Qiran nodded with satisfaction, and secretly sighed in her heart: It has been a long time since I asked someone to deliver something, and I feel a little unfamiliar with it.
However, these things don't seem to be enough. After all, I can't go to the no-man's land for the time being, and I may be discovered at any time if I stay in such a place. It would be safer to have a few more things.
After making up her mind, she asked, "Anything else?"
Xu Zhiruo shook his head decisively.
"Don't want to go out?"
He said, "There really isn't anything available."
"Take it all out, let me see it."
Xu Zhiruo was not stupid, at least not as stupid as Zhou Xisuo. He realized what she meant, but for some reason, he still took it out.
Yue Qiran looked at the array of spiritual instruments and talismans laid out on the ground, feeling a little more satisfied. After all, they were from a large sect, so there were several items here that even smaller sects might not have.
Soon, she found what she wanted - the Soul-Chasing Talisman.
Zhou Xisuo asked in confusion: "What's the use of this?"
Considering they were his juniors, Yue Qiran was willing to explain, "The spiritual energy here is thin. To form a formation, the center must attract the surrounding spiritual energy or be located where the spiritual energy is most abundant. The Soul-Chasing Talisman can track this place."
