Chapter 66: Tracking the Quiet Follower
Ying Bu Ran met Zhao Chaoan's concerned expression and smiled reassuringly: "Yes, I know. Thank you."
Zhao Chaoan chuckled, touched his nose, and looked a little embarrassed. "Nothing, nothing, hehe."
"It's rare to see you shy." Ying Bu Ran raised an eyebrow, and the worry and pressure in her heart were swept away a little. She sat up from the bed again, and seemed to have regained her fighting spirit. "Okay, for now, let's find a way to get the Zhantian Sword. We can talk about the rest later."
I don’t have any other ideas at the moment, so I can only follow the guidance of the first generation.
The following days were probably just training day after day. During this time, Zhao Chaoan wanted to hang out, but Ying Bu Ran pushed him away with the words "there are important things to do later and I need to keep my energy up."
Because she was afraid of missing out, Ying Bu Ran meditated every day, trying to sense that faint connection. Occasionally, Qian Qiu Xin would come to help, but most of the time she followed the Tian Yan Sect's team.
The Celestial Spirit Body is more sensitive than ordinary cultivators in terms of perception, and can quickly detect suspicious auras and speed up the efficiency of action.
Now the formation of Liuyun Sect has been completely destroyed, and the documents that Ying Bu Ran could not take away have been taken away, and those that could not be taken away have been burned. Nothing is left. It can be said that they are all safe for the time being.
In this situation, it would be a good idea to let Qian Qiuxin go out and gain some experience, especially since the team also has a powerful man named Mu accompanying them.
They had agreed that, before the secret realm ended, Mu would accompany Qian Qiuxin, while Ying Bu Ran and Zhao Chaoan would act separately and more discreetly. After obtaining the items, they would then search for the Heavenly Path together, while Qian Qiuxin would return to the city to prepare for battle.
During this period, the plans of both sides went smoothly. The Tianyan Sect also sent a magical tool, a mirror, which could detect and execute clones.
Almost everyone who goes out on a mission or for training has this, because they may encounter clones from time to time, and eliminating them can also reduce the pressure of finding the execution team.
It can be said that efficiency is maximized.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. About five days later, she sensed the presence of the sword.
After coming out of his meditative state, Ying Bu Ran immediately stood up and said to Zhao Chao An, who was lying on the bed with nothing to do, "I sensed it, I've determined the direction, let's go now."
"Huh? Ah? Okay, let's go." Zhao Chaoan was stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted. He jumped up and moved closer to Ying Bu Ran.
Originally, the two wanted to travel on their own because they didn't know when they would be able to return. However, after knowing the approximate location, Jiang Liuyan felt that it was too far and it would be too tiring for them to walk alone, so she asked them to choose two horses and ride on them.
Jiang Liuyan led the two to a courtyard dedicated to spiritual beasts and explained, "The beasts raised here are not ordinary beasts. They are spiritual, can return on their own, and have combat capabilities. If you are worried, you can ride to this location. A team will also be conducting reconnaissance here, so you can let the horses follow them back."
Jiang Liuyan was talking about the middle part of the road. Going further, the area would become less populated, and their destination would be a forbidden area that no one had ever walked out of.
If it wasn't for repeated confirmation that they were really there, and if there were no guarantees from two people saying that they could come back through the ghost world, Jiang Liuyan really wouldn't be willing to let them take this risk alone.
In the end, Ying Bu Ran and Zhao Chao An agreed to this arrangement, and Zhao Chao An also said that he would send some ghost soldiers to keep an eye on the safety of the spirit beast in the dark.
Such spiritual beasts are scarce resources in the current war situation and will only be sent out in emergencies.
Therefore, Ying Bu Ran decided to...abuse his power for personal gain? After all, his side was fine.
"You said that the sword is crucial, so we have to seize every possible opportunity. If it weren't for the spirit beasts entering later, which might have slowed you down, we want you to keep riding to conserve your strength." Jiang Liuyan touched Ying Bu Ran's head and explained soothingly, "The two sect leaders feel the same way."
Hearing that everyone thought so, Ying Bu Ran finally felt relieved. After choosing two horses, he set off with Zhao Chaoan.
The two horses were indeed very fast and had strong recovery abilities. Ying Buyan was tired from sitting, so she dismounted to rest and let the horses rest. While she was still massaging her waist, the horses were already rested, looking at her as if they were ready to go.
Should not be stained:?
This is not right. It recovered too quickly.
Zhao Chaoan was also a little surprised. It was the first time he saw such a powerful spirit beast, but he had no intention of continuing on the journey. Instead, he let them move freely, eat something and relax.
It seemed that it wasn't the first time that the two horses were so relaxed. When they heard these two words, they naturally strolled away, but stayed within the sight of the two people.
Ying Bu Ran looked at them so comfortable, and for some reason he felt a little dazed, but he quickly adjusted himself, leaned on Zhao Chaoan, and sighed softly.
After a while, Ying Bu Ran stood up and nodded to Zhao Chao An: "I'm almost done with my rest. Let's continue."
.
The moment the two left the city, they were spotted by Sha Ruxin. To be more precise, she had been sending ghosts to watch the place, and finally saw some movement.
After regaining consciousness, Sha Ruxin saw Zhao Qingxun meditating and practicing in the open space in front of him.
They have been staying here all this time. This is a forbidden area where no one has ever set foot, which is just right for them to recuperate here for a while.
"They set off, and my ghost was following them. They must have been discovered, and I didn't care after I was discovered." Sha Ruxin didn't care whether Zhao Qingxun could hear her now. Anyway, she said it, and it had nothing to do with her afterwards.
Zhao Qingxun opened his eyes and nodded to her: "Thank you for letting me know."
Now that they had left, it was almost time for him to leave as well. Zhao Qingxun stood up and bowed again in thanks: "Thank you for your care during this time."
No matter what conflicts had occurred before, it was true that Sha Ruxin saved her and helped her cover up her whereabouts, and also brought her to this environment with abundant spiritual power.
However, there is a lot of resentment mixed in with this spiritual power, which needs to be eliminated.
She didn't notice it at first and almost fell into the trap and triggered her inner demon. Sha Ruxin had no intention of reminding her and just sat there watching the fun.
Fortunately, I got through that difficult time. I just need to be more careful next time.
Sha Ruxin sat aside with a bold expression. Upon hearing this, she waved her hand impatiently, "Stop being polite. I'm not saving you out of kindness. Don't forget your promise."
"I will complete it, and I believe they can do it." Zhao Qingxun said seriously. During this period, her opinion of Sha Ruxin had also changed. It turned out that behind the crazy ghost was a broken past.
Sha Ruxin sneered: "You'd better. If you can't do it, I will help you do it."
Zhao Qingxun nodded. She knew this was the biggest retreat the other party could make: "We can definitely do it."
Sha Ruxin pointed in a direction, and Zhao Qingxun thanked her again before setting off. According to the guidance of the Gu worm and the Gu mother, he should be able to keep up with their pace.
After Zhao Qingxun left, Sha Ruxin, who was originally absent-minded and doing nothing, looked in the direction she left and retracted her nonsensical look.
She still didn't believe Zhao Qingxun's promise. She wouldn't just wait and do nothing. Besides the promise, there were other things she could do.
She still remembered the ending of her previous life. The sacrifice of the Celestial Spirit's body had greatly increased the power of the Celestial Spirit, and no one could stop its further erosion of the world until it completely collapsed.
That day, she saw the sky crack open, revealing hideous flesh and eyes. The cracks grew larger and larger, extending to the ground, opening one huge mouth after another and swallowing everything on the ground.
On that day, the ghost world was flooded with countless wronged souls, and the wailing of souls was everywhere, and the place was in chaos.
However, there are quite a few changes in this life. The celestial spirit is still alive, and a completely unexpected ghost has appeared. It seems to be something from another world?
As for what happens next, who knows?
.
"Are we being followed? I'm not talking about a ghost." Zhao Chaoan couldn't help but look behind him. There was nothing, but the feeling still existed.
Ying Bu Ran also looked behind him and felt the same thing. The mother Gu in his body seemed to be a little restless, responding to the call of the Gu worm.
Zhao Qingxun caught up.
She was still a little surprised that Zhao Qingxun could find them. Now it seemed that the only one who was paying attention to their whereabouts was Sha Ruxin.
Could it be that she had formed an alliance with Sha Ruxin? Previously, I heard that she had left the sect and had been wanted by the Liuyun Sect, but they had never been able to find her.
She also tried to ask people to look for him, but there was no news. If he was taken away by Sha Ruxin, the ghost king who came and went without a trace and was unpredictable, that would explain it.
"It's Zhao Qingxun. Although I don't know how she found us, I can be sure it's her." Ying Buyan said as he walked.
They have now entered the forbidden area. Their horses had been taken away long ago, so they have been walking all the way.
But being able to catch up so quickly... Is Zhao Qingxun staying in the forbidden area?
Zhao Chaoan's first reaction was that this person was really difficult to deal with and had come back to haunt him again. His second reaction was, "Wait, how do you know it's hers?"
Ying Bu Ran blinked, somewhat surprised and confused. "Because of the induction between the Gu mother and the Gu worms, I and the Gu worms in her body can sense each other. Didn't I tell you this before?"
"...I thought the Gu worm was kept in a bottle by you. I was wondering why I never saw you feeding the mother Gu. It turns out it is inside your body." Zhao Chaoan said "Oh" as if he suddenly realized something, which also confirmed Ying Bu Ran's previous guess.
Didn't she say that? Ying Bu Ran scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I thought I told you before, there was an accident earlier, the mother Gu escaped from the bottle, and then..."
Zhao Chaoan looked at her, making Ying Bu Ran feel even more embarrassed and guilty. After a while, she heard Zhao Chaoan sigh, then rubbed her head:
"Yeah, I know. I don't blame you. It happened for a reason."
Memory loss, the side effects that Yan Wang mentioned began to appear.
