However, the Demon Emperor would not let such a good opportunity pass by, and attacked from behind. Taotie screamed repeatedly, clearly having suffered a great loss.
It had no choice but to turn around and bite the Demon Emperor, but the Demon Emperor was also curious about the creature on the mountain, so it fought and moved up the mountain at the same time.
The group on the mountaintop were initially startled when they saw the Taotie rushing over, but they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Demon Emperor was entangled with it and wouldn't be able to get over for a while.
Watching Yan Xuehen intently sealing the spring water into the "Thousand Miles of Mountains and Seas Map", Yun Jianyue teased, "Ice Stone Girl, you didn't say anything when we were collecting the spring water, but as soon as you heard that Xiao Anzi wanted to use this spring water, you immediately came up with a plan. You really are a heartless person who forgets righteousness for the sake of beauty."
Yan Xuehen was embarrassed and annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just thought of it!"
"Hehe~" Yun Jianyue laughed a few times, clearly not believing it.
Zu An was speechless: "Sister Yun, what time is it? You're still in the mood to bicker?"
"What, you feel sorry for Ice Stone Woman just because I mentioned her?" Yun Jianyue had only said it casually, but when she saw Zu An speaking up for Yan Xuehen, she couldn't stand it anymore.
Zuan wisely shut his mouth and quickly changed the subject: "Have you noticed that although this spring looks small, the water level doesn't seem to be dropping at all after being diverted for so long?"
Yun Jianyue was indeed drawn to the painting. She pulled out a piece of Yu Yanluo's Thousand Miles of Mountains and Seas Painting and saw that the small river inside had turned into a rushing river. Obviously, quite a few springs had been sealed off, but unfortunately, the springs showed no signs of receding.
“Either this spring can continuously produce this magical water, or this place is the same as some large body of water outside,” Yun Jianyue exclaimed. “It’s truly a treasure trove, but it’s a pity we can’t move the whole thing.”
Upon hearing this, Zuan's heart stirred. He sank into the water again, took a sip, and pursed his lips: "It tastes salty, like the sea."
"The sea?" The goddesses looked bewildered.
Seeing their innocent eyes, Zu An couldn't help but sigh at how pure the women of this world were. Even a demonic sect leader like Yun Jianyue would have been misunderstood by those filthy people from his previous life: "Ahem, actually, this spring water isn't inexhaustible. The taste is noticeably different from the beginning. It must be because water from other places has been added. Of course, the effect of this water is definitely not as good as the original mountain spring."
Just then, Yan Xuehen let out a muffled groan, her whole body slumped down, and the spring water she was controlling to send into the Thousand Miles of Mountains and Seas Map stopped flowing.
However, she still mustered her spirits and used several more seals to completely stabilize the water in the Thousand Mile Mountain and Sea Map before letting out a sigh of relief: "I've reached my limit; I can only seal this much in."
“We’ve already emptied at least half of this mountain spring water. Master, you’ve worked hard. Let me massage your shoulders,” Zu’an comforted him.
Yan Xuehen immediately glared at him and tried to move away from him.
Yun Jianyue chuckled: "You're really audacious, kid, daring to take advantage of even the Ice Stone Woman."
Seeing the two of them acting so openly and honestly, she was no longer suspicious. Yu Yanluo was a little suspicious, but since she had just received a gift, she couldn't say anything: "This spring water is temporarily stored in my Thousand Miles of Mountains and Seas Map. If you two sisters need it in the future, you can come and get it at any time."
As for Zu'an, they're all on our side, so there's no need to make a point of mentioning them.
Yan Xuehen naturally sensed the intimacy between the two in their conversation, and felt a little strange: "I worked so hard to help seal this spring, but the demoness didn't contribute a single bit. What right does she have to share?"
Yun Jianyue's phoenix eyes narrowed: "Ice Stone Woman, you're asking for a beating! Isn't it a sacrifice for me to protect you? Besides, I even saved you before."
Yu Yanluo hurriedly dissuaded them, saying, "You two, please stop arguing. We've been through so much together, we're practically sisters. Why be so distant with each other?"
"Who says she's her sister!" Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen turned their heads away simultaneously.
Yun Jianyue pondered to herself that Xiao Anzi was originally her disciple's man, and by all accounts, she was Yu Yanluo's elder. Now that they had been together for so long, it was a bit of a loss for them to become sisters. The key was that if she caused Hong Lei to be a generation younger than her in the future, the sin would be enormous.
However, she quickly came to terms with it. "Hmph, our Holy Church doesn't operate with such dogmatism. When the time comes, Red Tears and I will each have our own opinions."
Yan Xuehen felt a little guilty, because to some extent she had indeed become sisters with Yu Yanluo. Could it be that she had seen something and that was why she said that on purpose?
It's all that Zuan's fault for trying to cause trouble even in that situation; he must have been discovered...
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +555 +555 +555...
Zuan was startled. Why was she suddenly angry?
A woman's heart is truly unfathomable.
At this moment, the roars grew closer and closer, and the Demon Emperor and Taotie were fighting each other so intensely that they were only a few hundred feet away from here.
This distance is nothing to a cultivator.
Numerous wounds were visible to the naked eye on Taotie, clearly indicating that it had suffered a great loss in the battle.
However, its wound did not bleed; instead, wisps of black energy flowed out, which was clearly the resentment that had troubled Zuan and his group for a long time.
The Demon Emperor was wary of these resentful spirits; otherwise, he probably would have killed Taotie long ago.
"Let's go!" Yun Jianyue was no longer in the mood for arguing, but she immediately noticed that the other side of the mountain was a bottomless cliff, and black mist filled the air, with various black figures moving about inside, like crows.
However, there would be no ordinary crows in such a place; they were clearly from the same source as the black monsters seen on the way up the mountain.
