"Alright, stop arguing!" Youyou didn't notice the little monster's strange behavior. She tugged at Feng Rong's sleeve and continued to persuade her, "Little monster, let's reason with each other. Even if you throw a tantrum, your fur won't grow back instantly, right? Take it slow, and believe me, I'll eventually think of a solution!"
Fenze subconsciously shrank back, first looking at Youyou, then glancing at Fengrong, and shuddered again. After a while, he weakly said, "Re...really?" How terrifying, it felt like he would be eaten if he refused.
“Of course!” You You nodded and continued, “Actually, I’ve been thinking of ways these past few days. Although I haven’t found a spell that can restore you instantly, there are still ways to fix it!”
As she spoke, she suddenly turned around, pulled out something, and handed it over. "Look, I asked Aunt Lin to make you a dress these past few days. It's the same color as your hair. If you wear this, no one will know you're bald." If you can't really overcome hair loss, you can always have plenty of wigs.
Fen Ze's eyes lit up instantly as he stared at the fluffy pet costume in her hand, and he became excited immediately, "This...this is for me?"
"Hmm." Youyou nodded seriously and continued to persuade, "It's specially tailored for you, a limited edition, exclusive, and unavailable to others.
Fenze stopped dodging and immediately jumped over, biting the furry coat and burrowing inside until his round body was completely wrapped up. He then licked the furry collar, repeatedly confirming, "Is it really only me? Nobody else has one?"
"certainly!"
It was completely relaxed, happily pacing back and forth on the ground covered with tree debris, even tiptoeing as if afraid of getting its pet clothes dirty.
"You have to keep your word! The fur-lined coat is mine, so you have to help me find a way to make it furry in the future."
"Don't worry, it'll be fine!" I didn't expect the little monster to be so easy to coax; a little woolen jacket was all it took.
Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask Feng Rong to take her back, but found him staring intently at the clothes on the little monster with a resentful look on his face.
As if sensing her gaze, he suddenly turned around, glared at her, and then turned away, letting out a loud "Hmph!"
Youyou: "..."
What's wrong with this person now?
"Alright, let's go back..." she sighed, just about to say go back, when suddenly the ground shook and a loud bang came from afar.
She almost twisted her body because she lost her balance, but Feng Rong was quick to catch her.
"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?" Youyou was stunned.
Feng Rong looked back at the distant sky, her expression changing. "This is the aftershock of the collapse of the Five Elements Spirit Guiding Array. Something might have happened to the You family!"
"What!" Her heart sank, and she instinctively scooped up the little monster who was still admiring itself beside her. "Go back right now! Quickly!"
The next moment, Feng Rong had already taken off on her sword, leading her people towards the direction of the sect.
————————
In the middle.
The once orderly floating peaks in the sky now had a section collapsed on the right side, leaving a large gap in the once majestic dozen or so peaks, turning them into a pile of rubble. The originally stable Five Elements Spirit-Guiding Array was also nearly destroyed by the collapse of the floating peaks, and a large amount of spiritual energy rushed out towards the exit.
The disciples, who were originally busy building the sect, were now all gathered on the largest floating peak. Ling Qi stood at the front, with Lin Feng, Yin Fan, and several other Foundation Establishment cultivators behind him, protecting the Qi Refining junior disciples. Everyone looked angrily ahead.
At the front of the crowd, five disciples of a celestial sect, dressed in auspicious blue robes adorned with auspicious clouds, looked at them with mockery. Four of them were at the Golden Core stage, while the last one was at the Nascent Soul stage.
"You call yourselves a celestial sect!" The man in blue robes standing at the front of the group sneered and glanced at the people on the summit. "The highest cultivation level in your entire sect is only at the Golden Core stage. How laughable! You dare to call yourselves a celestial sect! I think you're just a bunch of evil cultivators!"
“Fellow Daoist, please be careful with your words. Although our sect is newly established, it was founded by the Heavenly Maiden herself. How can you call us heretical cultivators!” Ling Qi stepped forward and replied solemnly, “You suddenly broke into my immortal sect and destroyed my spiritual array. Aren’t you afraid of being held accountable by the other immortal sects of Immortal Marsh?”
"What kind of sect are you?" the man said arrogantly, scoffing, "Celestial Maiden? If you have a Celestial Maiden, then call her out so we can pay our respects!"
“Our lord is preoccupied with important matters and cannot receive guests,” Ling Qi continued. “Besides, the Heavenly Maiden is of such high esteem that she cannot be seen so easily!”
"Hmph! I think that's just an excuse!" The man smiled contemptuously, looking at them as if they were trash. He waved his hand and said, "Stop making excuses. If you know what's good for you, hand over the top-grade spiritual vein in the formation to my Neon Light Sect and leave this place immediately, or don't blame us for being ruthless!"
"What a joke!" Ling Qi didn't back down an inch, replying directly, "The spiritual vein was discovered by our lord; it was originally ownerless, so how can you talk about returning it! Your Ni Guang Sect claims to be a righteous sect, but do you intend to rob it outright?!"
"Insolence!" The man was enraged, seemingly having no desire to continue arguing with the other party. "How dare a mere Golden Core cultivator speak ill of my Ni Guang Sect! Today, you will have to hand over this spiritual vein whether you like it or not!"
After speaking, he immediately formed hand seals, conjuring thousands of sword lights that slashed towards the crowd. Ling Qi was startled and quickly mobilized his spiritual energy, forming hand seals to summon a defensive formation. However, he had only recently formed his core and was not yet familiar with magic. In addition, he also had to protect the many disciples behind him, so he could only barely block the attack.
Seeing that their first attack had failed, everyone except the Nascent Soul cultivator began to act as well. In an instant, three or four spells descended from the sky, seemingly about to hurtle towards the group.
Lin Feng and Yin Fan gritted their teeth and rushed out to block one of the attacks, but the opponent's casting speed was too fast. A large area of flames suddenly ignited and was about to engulf everyone.
The next moment, a flash of golden light appeared before their eyes, and all the attacks vanished, even the large swath of flames were extinguished instantly. Something deflected the attacks, instantly sending the four attackers flying back.
Youyou and Fengrong flew down from the sky.
"My lord!" Ling Qi breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and even the other disciples relaxed, as if they had instantly found their backbone.
"What happened?" You You glanced at the disciples and, seeing that no one was injured, asked, "How did a floating peak collapse?"
"Those people did it!" Liu Qing said angrily, pointing at the people in the sky. "They destroyed West Peak as soon as they arrived, and they even tried to steal the sect's spiritual veins."
