Chapter 29
Before Luo Tingyun could react, Qi Zhao was the first person to react in this quiet place.
He walked quickly to Nan Xi's side, frowned slightly, and his usually gentle face was now serious. He asked, "Senior Sister, what were you doing just now?"
If Nan Xi just wanted to rescue Qi Qian, he could still understand it, but looking at Nan Xi's appearance, it seemed that she had no intention of taking any action and just let the attack fall on her.
Even though Nan Xi was in the Jindan stage, the injury he suffered was not minor after being hit by such a blow.
If she was in the foundation-building stage, it would be even more serious. Being caught off guard by such a blow might damage her foundation. Ordinary healing pills would be useless then, and she would have to take medicine to recuperate for a period of time.
Nan Xi was stunned by Qi Zhao's seriousness.
She just realized what was happening and quickly covered her chest, pretending to be in pain, "I... I'm hurt."
Even though I wasn't really injured, I still had to pretend to be injured, just so as not to delay the subsequent plot.
Qi Zhao, Luo Tingyun, Li Yunzheng: “……?”
Not to mention what the people from Tianyun Sword Sect were thinking at this moment, Qi Qian looked at Nan Xi's staggering back, and at that moment just now, he saw clearly that the attack was about to fall on him.
Nan Xi rushed over without caring about her own safety.
And then...
Qi Qian's expression showed a bit of daze. It was difficult for him to recover from the scene just now. Not only Nan Xi wanted to protect him, but also Luo Tingyun's attack, both left indelible marks in his heart.
At this moment, what just happened was replaying in his mind again and again.
It almost made him unable to recover.
Nan Xi felt a little quieter, and quietly lifted her eyelids to take a look, and happened to meet Luo Tingyun's complicated gaze again, so she quickly lowered her eyes again.
[Come to think of it...are those spirit beasts really not going to chase after us? ]
Before he could think about the spirit beast, Luo Tingyun glared at Nan Xi and was about to speak, but Nan Xi had already opened his mouth weakly.
"You guys go chase the spirit beast... I'll just rest here for a while."
After she said this, the disciples of the Yuxu Sect finally reacted. Qi Qian looked at Nan Xi deeply, then raised his sword and flew quickly in the direction where the beasts left.
Qi Zhao was 80% sure that Nan Xi's injury was fake, but he just said, "Then Senior Sister, rest here, we will be back later."
Luo Tingyun knew best whether Nan Xi was injured or not. However, because of Nan Xi's outrageous behavior, he didn't want to say anything more to Nan Xi at this time. He just nodded slightly coldly and left with Qi Zhao.
As they walked, the surroundings suddenly became empty. Nan Xi looked left and right, and slowly came to the two spirit beast entities. She simply put away all the useful things.
As for Li Yunzheng, she herself did not show up. Originally, the Tianyun Sword Sect was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and she wanted to go and help Qi Zhao and the others to ensure that the Golden Beast would eventually fall into the hands of the Tianyun Sword Sect. But suddenly she thought of something, and she squatted back down.
After Nan Xi finished her work, she sat down and started muttering to herself.
"Is today's plot okay?"
Li Yunzheng didn't hear clearly what was said, so she frowned slightly and improved her hearing a little. Then she could hear what Nan Xi said next.
"I think there shouldn't be any problem. After all, the element of saving people and getting injured is all there. Oh, yes, Qi Qian's expression seems quite shocked. Everything is there."
"Hmm... If there is something wrong, then why did Junior Sister save me? But Junior Sister saving me shouldn't be my fault, right?"
Nan Xi muttered a lot of things, but in fact she was talking to the system, but the system did not respond, which made her frown.
[No reaction at this time? ]
Nan Xi felt it carefully and indeed felt the system, so she simply shut up and looked up at the sky.
【It's so quiet.】
[Hey? Junior Sister just saved me. She actually had time to save me? ]
Nan Xi was amused by what she thought, [She must be paying attention to me... Hehe! It seems that I am quite popular with my junior sister. ]
Nan Xi's random thoughts were completely meaningless. Li Yunzheng was speechless. He sensed the location of Luo Tingyun and others and rushed over in the blink of an eye. In just a few breaths, he arrived at where they were.
The battle at this point was much easier than before. All he needed to do was to keep fighting for a while longer and all these spirit beasts would be subdued.
At this time, some disciples of the Yuxu Sect were secretly watching Qi Zhao, Luo Tingyun and others, preparing to use some secret means to make them unable to compete with them for this group of spirit beasts.
With so many spiritual beast resources, not to mention the Golden Beast among them, there is no way they would give them to the Tianyun Sword Sect.
When Li Yunzheng saw this situation, a cold look appeared in her eyes. The next moment, the pressure was released and her cold voice fell into the ears of everyone present.
"Logically, I shouldn't intervene in the fight between the younger generation."
The pressure fell on the spirit beasts and the disciples of the Xuxu Sect. In just a moment, the throats of the group of spirit beasts were cut, leaving only the Golden Wu Beast.
Li Yunzheng lifted up the Golden Beast with one hand and said, "But you, the Yuxu Sect, always use some shady means. I really can't stand it."
She swept her eyes slightly and withdrew her pressure.
"If you don't want to go back with missing limbs, get out now."
The disciples of the Yuxu Sect were led by Qi Qian. At this moment, Qi Qian stared at Li Yunzheng and gritted his teeth: "Let's go."
If the person here was not Li Yunzheng, but other elders of Tianyun Sword Sect, they could all use excuses and find ways to at least get half of the blood of Golden Monkey Beast, but now the person in front of them is Li Yunzheng.
Li Yunzheng, the most unreasonable person in Tianyun Sword Sect.
After the Tianyun Sword Sect gang left, Li Yunzheng looked at the two disciples present and smiled easily.
"If the people here today were not disciples of the Yuxu Sect, I would be more fair and share the money with them equally."
But over the years, the Yuxu Sect had robbed too many things from the disciples of the Tianyun Sword Sect, and she, Li Yunzheng, was not a generous person.
Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun bowed to Li Yunzheng and said, "My junior sister and I have been on guard against their actions, but the arrival of our uncle has saved us some trouble."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunzheng looked at Qi Zhao with a half-smile.
Qi Zhao: “?”
After a while, Li Yunzheng sighed, "Junior Brother Qi is good in every way, but he is too serious. Okay, quickly put these spirit beasts away, and let's go see Junior Brother Nan."
Nan Xi waited for less than half an hour before she saw Luo Tingyun and the others coming back. Not only was Li Yunzheng there, but Li Yunzheng was also leading a not-so-big golden beast with a spiritual rope.
Compared with ordinary spirit beasts, beasts like the Golden Beast are more intelligent. Not only are they more spiritual, but they are also protected by the blood of divine beasts in their bodies. Except in extraordinary circumstances, cultivators will not kill them.
Of course, bleeding a beast in captivity is not a decent act, and usually some spiritual creatures are exchanged for the blood of the Golden Monkey Beast.
Nan Xi watched as Jin Wushou came closer and closer. When he saw her, his nose swelled and he exhaled twice.
"?"
Nan Xi was confused. She felt that she had not hurt it at all, so why did it look like it disliked her?
"Junior Brother Nan." Li Yunzheng walked towards her with a smile, and before she could react, she bent down, and in an instant their faces were very close.
Li Yunzheng smiled with a dagger hidden in her heart, "Please explain to me why you sacrificed yourself to save others just now?"
Nan Xi was stunned by the question, but she reacted quickly. She immediately covered her eyes and said, "I can't control myself, Uncle Master, you know, I..."
"Alright, alright." Li Yunzheng interrupted Nan Xi's spellcasting and continued with a smile, "I don't want to hear you say this anymore. I'll report to you later and let you fast for a month."
"Ah???" Nan Xi was shocked, "Uncle Master, I don't deserve this!!"
She almost burst into tears, but Li Yunzheng stood up and gently shook her finger at Nan Xi, "Now you don't have to say anything more. I won't forgive you."
Nan Xi was hit so hard that she slumped down.
[I decided to annoy my uncle for a day.]
[Oh no, half a day, because she bought me roast goose last time.]
It was her reaction that made Qi Zhao and Luo Tingyun behind her couldn't help but curl their lips slightly, but they quickly realized that this was a serious matter and quickly suppressed the arc.
After almost settling Nan Xi's problem, Li Yunzheng looked at the arrogant Jin Wushou and said, "Tell me, why are you bringing a spirit beast to cause trouble outside the town?"
Nan Xi was muttering to himself while listening to the noises here.
[One month... one month... one month...]
Li Yunzheng ignored her and stared at Jin Wushou. Not long after, Jin Wushou was defeated and howled several times in animal language, but stopped after a while.
"You mean you are in a bad mood and want to scare humans?" Li Yunzheng was speechless. "You are really a newborn bull who is not afraid of tigers. Any Jindan-stage cultivator can kill you."
Nan Xi came back to her senses in an instant, and was shocked, [Master uncle can also understand animal language? So omnipotent?! ]
Li Yunzheng was praised, but she said nothing and just curled her lips slightly.
The Golden Beast refused to accept and howled a few more times, but it was obviously meaningless. Li Yunzheng simply took out a piece of spiritual wood with a stream of light on it and said, "The rules of the martial arts world."
Jin Wushou stared at the sacred wood for a while, and knew the rules of human beings. If soft methods didn't work, he would try hard methods. So he howled angrily again, then spat out the sacred wood, shook the horns on his head, and drew out the blood.
In just a moment, the container that Li Yunzheng took out was full. Jin Wushou shook his head weakly and howled at Li Yunzheng twice.
Still looks unconvinced.
Nan Xi admired it very much, [It has a stubborn temper, just like me. ]
As soon as he finished speaking, he attracted the attention of Li Yunzheng and the other three. Nan Xi was frightened by the stares and lowered her head silently.
【Well, I’m not that stubborn. 】
Just as Nan Xi was daydreaming, the system suddenly spoke.
[Host, I just checked the information and found that you don't need to be punished.]
This is good news today. Nan Xi's eyes lit up immediately. [Really? I don't think I should be punished.]
These words once again drew the attention of Li Yunzheng and the other two to Nan Xi, but this time none of them looked at Nan Xi, they just listened silently.
System: [But you must make sure that there are no flaws in the subsequent plots, otherwise the punishment will only be delayed. If the subsequent plots fail because of you, you will be punished together.]
Nan Xi readily accepted it, "Okay, you know my abilities, there will definitely be no problem."
The system remained silent in response to Nan Xi's words.
The others present frowned with almost no movement.
Being punished? Is it the fasting that Li Yunzheng just mentioned?
