"Second Senior Sister, if you leave him here, he'll die!" Liu Ling was terrified, glancing around hastily. Although the crowd had largely dispersed, many cultivators were still pouring in. She hurried forward, grasped Mo Zixia's arm tightly, and shook it vigorously, her eyes filled with pleading, "Second Senior Sister, just take him with you!" At the same time, she secretly winked at Fifth Senior Sister Ye Xiaoyan.
Ye Xiaoyan understood instantly and stepped forward, lowering her voice to Senior Brother Jiang Qingfeng and Second Senior Sister Mo Zixia, saying, "How about we take him with us first, and when we find a safer place, we can leave him behind and set up a Taoist barrier to hide him. This way, we won't delay our search for an opportunity, and we can also save his life."
"Okay!" Jiang Qingfeng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Mo Zixia also thought this method was feasible and nodded.
Liu Ling's face lit up instantly, and she immediately gave Ye Xiaoyan a grateful smile. Then, without hesitation, she walked straight towards Yu Kai, offering her hand to help him to his feet, completely ignoring the bloodstains on his body. Third Senior Brother Lin Chen, usually taciturn but kindhearted, also hurried forward to help Liu Ling lift Yu Kai to his feet. Fourth Senior Sister Su Wanqing, on the other hand, remained impassive, seemingly unconcerned with the events unfolding.
Seeing them leave with Yu Kai, the crowd dispersed, each seeking their own opportunities. Soon, Liu Ling and her group landed in a quiet canyon. Liu Ling and Lin Chen carefully set Yu Kai down. Liu Ling quickly produced a healing pill and gently fed it to Yu Kai. Then, she produced a silk handkerchief and gently wiped the blood from Yu Kai's face. Soon, a fair and handsome face emerged.
This made Liu Ling blush slightly, and she thought to herself: This boy is quite good-looking! Just then, she heard her senior brother Jiang Qingfeng calling her.
"Junior sister, I have already set up the barrier. No one without the strength of a Saint Emperor can break it. Let's go. I just heard from other cultivators that the Misty Forest this time is very different from the previous ones. An ancient star-patterned palace appeared above the Fantasy Star Lake. Although it is incomplete, it is mysterious. Just the sword intent that permeates the surroundings, if we can comprehend a little, it will be enough to benefit us for a lifetime." Jiang Qingfeng said excitedly with excitement flashing in his eyes.
"I heard that this was left behind by Tongtian Patriarch. Tongtian Patriarch's strength is enough to rank among the top three in the prehistoric fairyland. It is a great honor to be able to see the sword intent he left behind." Mo Zixia had a yearning look on her face and her tone was full of longing.
"But...he..." Liu Ling looked at the unconscious Yu Kai with a worried look on her face.
"Or you can stay!" Su Wanqing still spoke with a cold expression.
"How can this be possible? This barrier can only block cultivators below the Saint Emperor level. Any Saint Emperor who is slightly more powerful can easily break in." Jiang Qingfeng immediately denied it.
"Let's go, Junior Sister. We have done our best. Whether he can survive depends entirely on his own luck." Mo Zixia walked forward, took Liu Ling's hand, and was about to walk out.
Liu Ling followed them out of the barrier, but suddenly stopped and said firmly: "Second Sister, Senior Brother, you can go by yourselves. I have decided to stay."
"But it's dangerous here, the barrier is not strong enough!" Third senior brother Lin Chen advised anxiously.
"It's okay. My master left me a sword box. There is a sword intent in it that can instantly kill strong people below the high-level Saint Emperor." Liu Ling said with a little joy, then took out the sword box and showed it to everyone.
Seeing Liu Ling's confident expression, Jiang Qingfeng and the others had no choice but to give up. They all knew that this little junior sister was deeply favored by the Master, but they had never expected the Master to gift her such a precious sword box. For them, this sword box was undoubtedly a life-saving talisman, priceless. Ye Xiaoyan, in particular, had once asked the Master for it, but the Master had refused. Unexpectedly, it was now in the hands of the little junior sister.
"Then you must be extremely careful. If you encounter any danger, send us a message immediately and we will rush back immediately!" Mo Zixia gently touched Liu Ling's head and admonished her with a loving look on her face.
"Don't worry, I'm still waiting for you to comprehend the sword intent and come back to teach me!" Liu Ling said with a smile.
"Then let's go!" Ye Xiaoyan nodded to Liu Ling. Then, under Liu Ling's gaze, everyone transformed into several streams of light and flew out, gradually disappearing into the distance.
Seeing their figures completely vanish, Liu Ling immediately ran back into the barrier. She placed her hands on her hips, looking at the comatose Yu Kai, and said with a mixture of resentment and anticipation, "For you, I even gave up the opportunity to comprehend the sword intent of the Tongtian Sect Master. You must get better soon, and don't let my efforts go to waste."
As she spoke, she carefully examined Yu Kai. Seeing his tattered clothes, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where are you from? Why are you dressed so strangely?"
"Who is so cruel to hurt you like this? That's too ruthless!"
"What are you fighting over? Is it really that important? If it weren't for my kindness, you would be dead today. Everyone is treasure hunting in this misty forest, who has time to bother with you?"
"It's just that I couldn't bear to see you lose your life like this!"
Liu Ling stayed by Yu Kai's side, chattering away, as if she wanted to pour out everything in the world. Time slipped away quietly amid her chatter, and soon, a day had passed.
The next morning, after a sleepless night, Liu Ling finally succumbed to sleep and fell asleep beside Yu Kai. Overnight, Yu Kai's injuries had miraculously healed. The bruising wounds had scabbed over, and the three rune-emblazoned swords had been thoroughly refined by the power system, transforming into a surge of spiritual energy within him. His spiritual energy now overflowed like a vast ocean. Besides healing his injuries, he had also harnessed this powerful force to achieve a breakthrough to the High Saint King level, and was now on his way to the peak.
However, at that moment, a loud commotion erupted outside, clearly signaling someone was approaching. A young man, accompanied by a group of followers, swaggered towards their barrier. They were all dressed in brown robes, prominently embroidered with the words "Spirit Temple."
A sharp-nosed, monkey-faced disciple pointed at the barrier and said flatteringly, "Brother Xiao, this is it. The messenger who brought us the message said that Liu Ling is inside."
The man known as Senior Brother Xiao was none other than Xiao Xian, the Spirit Hall's core disciple who had recently arrived. He was extremely lustful, relying on his father's position as the Spirit Hall's current master to act recklessly and harm many a decent young woman. He had long coveted Liu Ling and several other female disciples of the Huanxing Sect. Someone had suddenly sent him a message, and he, hoping to try his luck, arrived here with his entourage.
