Wen Yu was summoned back to his room.
Gingerbread and the three little foxes sat around the fire and chatted.
She blinked her starry eyes and asked, "Little Jiu, is Fantasy Valley fun? Are there lots of cute little foxes?"
"Yes, yes, the Illusion Valley is beautiful. The sea of flowers never fades all year round, and it's like a dream, shrouded in mist." Xiao Jiu's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke. "Grandma doesn't know we've been captured yet."
"I'm going to be forced to kneel in the ancestral hall when I get back this time."
The little fox sighed, his face full of worry.
"Thank you so much for saving us, my little benefactor."
“Just be a little sweet-talking to your grandmother. She won’t blame you for all the suffering you’ve endured,” Gingerbread comforted her gently. “You’re welcome. From now on, we’re friends.”
Little Jiu clapped her paws, and the two little white foxes behind her followed suit, clapping their paws too, "They're good friends..."
"It's getting late, let's go to sleep."
Gingerbread hugged them and went to bed with them.
Just as he was drifting off to sleep, Gingerbread suddenly sat up in bed.
"No, no, no!"
Xiao Jiu: "My little benefactor, what's wrong?"
not good.
Fell into a trap!
She hastily put on her shoes, intending to go find her second senior brother.
Wen Yuzhao had already come to knock on the door.
Gingerbread opened the door.
The two students spoke in unison.
"We've fallen into their trap."
Wen Yuzhao quickly explained, "Xiao Jiu has met Third Junior Brother. It was Xiong Lie who used Xiao Jiu to trick Third Junior Brother into falling into his trap. How could she possibly give her to us?"
"Giving it to us is tantamount to telling us..."
"so--"
“Xiong Lie did it on purpose.” Jiang Bingbing’s expression was unusually serious. “His target is Senior Sister.”
Because of his status as a disciple of the Sword Sect.
To their utter surprise, Xiong Lie dared to set his sights on the eldest disciple of Xianyu Peak.
Wen Yuzhao, abandoning his usual mild-mannered demeanor, calmly said, "Junior sister, pop the communication talisman and tell Master that I'll go find Xiong Lie to stall him for a while."
"good."
Without any hesitation, as soon as Wen Yuzhao left, Jiang Bingbing crushed a communication talisman.
He shouted at the top of his lungs at the rising smoke from the talisman, "Master, something terrible has happened! Eldest Senior Sister and Third Senior Brother have been captured by Lord Bear City, and I'm about to be captured too!"
"Please come and save us!"
"Little Bing, don't be afraid, Master is coming right away."
Immortal Lord Qingxue's cold voice was filled with intense killing intent.
Gingerbread told herself not to panic.
She analyzed it quickly.
If Xiong Lie's target is the eldest senior sister, then the second senior brother's trip will be in vain.
The second senior brother's cultivation level is far inferior to that of the eldest senior sister.
"I have to go there."
Gingerbread knew it was impossible, but she still decided to bite the bullet and help.
As she ran towards the main hall, she called out, "Senior Fen Jue, are you there? Your life is at stake, please answer me."
I called it several times.
There was no response.
It is estimated that Fen Jue has fallen into deep cultivation, and his five senses are closed, so he cannot hear anything.
You have to rely on yourself.
Gingerbread took out a handful of Five Thunder Talismans and held them in his hand.
The little dog in her arms seemed to sense her tension and jumped around restlessly. She pressed the little dog back down and said, "Little dog, if anything happens to me, you should run away quickly."
The spirit beast egg in his arms rolled twice.
It seems to be saying...
"Master, what nonsense are you talking about? I would never abandon you."
The night was darker than usual, a deep, deathly silence.
The city lord's mansion sent chills down one's spine.
The closer they got to the main hall, the more uneasy Gingerbread felt.
She took out a concealment talisman, hid her presence, and crouched by the window frame outside the hall.
They carefully poked a hole and peered inside.
"Hahahaha, so-called Sword Sect's top disciple at the half-step Nascent Soul realm, nothing special."
White silk threads flickered in and out of Xiong Lie's palm, binding Liu Zheng and Wen Yuzhao tightly.
Only one of their heads was visible.
Liu Zheng angrily said: "Xiong Lie, you actually refined a spirit beast! There are rules in the cultivation world that prohibit refining spirit beasts."
Refining spirit beasts is an extremely cruel thing.
The task involves skinning the spirit beast alive and then replicating its meridian pathways into one's own body.
Thus, they learned the skills of spirit beasts.
The silk threads binding Liu Zheng and Wen Yuzhao.
That's the Silverwing Spider's innate ability.
This kind of silk thread cannot be cut by a knife, nor burned by fire.
Only a Nascent Soul stage expert can destroy it.
or.
The fire spirit root cultivator who possessed a different kind of fire was burned to ashes.
She really suffered a major setback this time.
Liu Zheng was ashamed to face his master.
Thinking that her junior sister was still in the guest room in the backyard, she didn't dare to imagine the consequences if this scoundrel caught her.
Liu Zheng decided to perish together with the enemy.
"Hmph, outdated," Xiong Lie scoffed. "What does refining spirit beasts matter as long as it makes you stronger?"
He walked down the steps, bent down, stared at Liu Zheng, and gave a strange smile. "You tell me, if I were to refine a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, I would probably be even stronger, right?"
Gingerbread, who was peering out the window, suddenly changed his expression.
I was internally complaining.
They've run into a complete freak.
“Chongxu,” Xiong Lie glanced sideways behind him, “you say you can extract the inner core and guarantee the person won’t die?”
"Yes, Lord City Lord," the old Taoist replied with a sly grin.
"Alright, extract the inner core from this half-step Nascent Soul cultivator for me." Xiong Lie casually pointed at Wen Yuzhao, "I'll give you his inner core."
Chongxu's eyes shone brightly, and he knelt down to express his gratitude.
"Thank you for the reward, City Lord!"
Xiong Lie lifted his robe, sat on the recliner, and felt a thrill and excitement at the thought of the bloody scene that was about to unfold.
The old Taoist priest walked over step by step.
Liu Zheng closed his eyes tightly.
She had to do this for her junior sister!
