Chapter 46

Nan Xi was stunned by Luo Tingyun's words.

[Eh? Having a nightmare?]

Her eyes quickly lit up, [Yes! Having a nightmare, hehe, the little apprentice sister is really smart. ]

Nan Xi felt refreshed and guessed that Luo Tingyun had used the cleansing technique on her. Then she felt relieved and quickly put her hand on her forehead and said in confusion, "Nightmare... Thank you, Junior Sister. I was indeed in a nightmare just now."

Everyone who saw Nan Xi's reaction said: "..."

But even though they knew she was pretending, they also thought about the suffering Nan Xi had just endured, and they also knew the plot, so they could only pretend not to see it in order to cooperate with Nan Xi.

Luo Tingyun was the same. He pursed his lips and asked, "Sister, do you want to rest for a while?"

"rest……"

Nan Xi pretended to be weak and said this, then felt her current condition.

[I feel a little exhausted, but it's okay. I think it will be fine after a short rest.]

Although the punishment of the system is severe and the principle is unclear, it has no real effect on the body and only makes people feel pain.

But this kind of pain seemed to have some kind of added bonus, making it particularly torturous.

After thinking about it for a while, Nan Xi's originally tense heart became more relaxed, and then she smiled at Luo Tingyun, "Thank you, Junior Sister, for taking care of me."

[No wonder it smelled so good just now. ]

This was not the first time that Nan Xi had said that Luo Tingyun smelled good, causing many disciples to look at Luo Tingyun involuntarily, somewhat curious.

How fragrant is Junior Sister?

Feeling the gazes of many people, Luo Tingyun narrowed his eyes slightly and could only pretend that he didn't feel it. This time he pretended better, and only the tips of his ears turned a little red.

No one noticed.

Afterwards, the atmosphere became a little quieter. Nan Xi closed her eyes and began to circulate her spiritual power to relieve her fatigue. Tianyun Sword Sect had been paying attention to Nan Xi's situation before and had hardly had a good rest. Now she had to adjust her state.

For a moment, the only sound around was the sound of wind blowing.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the wind seemed to get a little stronger, heavier, and carried a slight fishy smell.

Many people have already adjusted themselves. At this time, someone called the person next to him and asked, "Do you smell anything?"

The man frowned, sniffed the air, and then looked a little confused.

"Earthy smell? Maybe it's night time, and it's a little humid."

This seems to make some sense. The other person nodded slightly and said, "Probably."

The two men were not far away from Nan Xi, at least within the distance where Nan Xi could hear their normal conversation. Hearing what was said, they looked up.

Behind her was a not very high mountain wall, only about three or five meters, and behind it was another road.

But these are not the main points. Nan Xi remembered that in this secret place that was described in detail, there were naturally more than one key plot point.

[There is a spirit beast in the Yuan Infant stage behind us. It should be waking up soon. ]

The Tianyun Sword Sect disciples, who had been somewhat relaxed, suddenly froze and looked at Nan Xi in confusion, not to mention those who had higher cultivation and quicker reactions.

Almost instantly, he shifted his gaze towards Nan Xi.

Nan Xi was still thinking, "Although if the reaction is immediate, there shouldn't be any casualties, but how can I remind everyone? I can't remind them suddenly and ruin my character."

Everyone looked gloomy.

Senior sister, you don’t need to remind them, they already know.

[Hey, if it weren't for the plot, I would have directly suggested that everyone go to another place to rest... But it's okay, I should be standing in the front anyway. ]

Nan Xi's thoughts ended here. Someone's gaze was cast towards her vaguely, and each of them had a complicated feeling.

The situation in the Yuxu Sect was still peaceful and there was no reaction, but the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the earthy smell was getting stronger and stronger, finally making people feel uncomfortable.

The ground shook slightly, and then the obvious hum of a wild animal came from behind the stone wall.

The disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect instantly locked onto the position of the Yuanying period spirit beast, and then watched intently as a shadow gradually fell from the top of the mountain wall.

Before he saw the spirit beast's eyes again, Qi Zhao had already spoken, "Yu Jian, retreat!"

This time, not only the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect, but also the people of Yuxu Sect quickly climbed up.

They were not like the Tianyun Sword Sect, which had already lost a lot of people in the inheritance space, and many were injured. A short period of recuperation was almost useless, and quite a few people looked unhappy.

However, the qualities of the disciples taught by the Xu Sect were quite good. After they realized what was happening, they led their disciples to retreat at the same time.

But it was too late.

The spirit beast had already seen the disciples below. After a brief pause, it felt angry at having its territory invaded. It let out a beast roar, its entire body filled with aggression at this moment.

Compared to the Tianyun Sword Sect disciples who were calm and had already known the current situation, most of the Yuxu Sect disciples were a little panicked.

"A spirit beast in the Yuanying period! Why is it here?!"

"We can't win, let's run!"

There were only two Jindan-stage cultivators present, one was Nan Xi and the other was Luo Tingyun. Even the fact that Nan Xi was at the Jindan-stage was not known to the disciples of the Yuxu Sect.

However, even if they knew, the two of them were only in the early Jindan stage, which was still a world of difference from Yuan Ying.

If the spirit beast in front of them suddenly displayed its powerful power, none of them here would be able to escape.

Everyone retreated very quickly. In the blink of an eye, almost everyone had flown a mile away. But even if they used all their strength, it would not be easy to run away if they were targeted by a Yuanying period spirit beast.

Nan Xi had been calmly watching the distance between the spirit beast and them. Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, she subconsciously calculated the plot in her mind.

[Next, Junior Brother Qi Zhao and the others should take the initiative to stop the spirit beast and buy time for everyone to escape.]

If no one stood up, and if the spirit beast happened to become extremely ferocious, then all of their lives would be lost here. So even if Qi Zhao didn't even have a golden elixir, as a direct disciple, he had to stand up.

Qi Zhao, who was about to come out, paused, but still quickly came out of the team.

Nan Xi continued in her mind, "And then not only me, but almost all of my disciples have come out, including Qi Qian."

When faced with this kind of thing, of course, no matter what sect we belong to, we are all a community of interests.

Not to mention the huge movements of the Yuanying period spirit beasts. At this time, there must be many people who have noticed this place. If the Yuxu Sect does not take responsibility at all, it will have no chance to be part of the five major sects in the future.

So they will definitely stand up.

As Nan Xi's words fell, all the disciples, led by Qi Zhao, came out one after another and together stopped the Yuan Infant Stage spirit beast.

Lian Qianxing was the youngest. Qi Zhao looked at Lian Qianxing and said in a deep voice, "Junior brother, take everyone away."

Lian Qianxing was stunned and wanted to refute, but soon figured out the key point. His usually gentle expression became firm and he said, "I will take good care of everyone."

Then he returned to the team of Tianyun Sword Sect disciples and shouted loudly: "Everyone follow me!"

As the young boy's voice fell, everyone seemed to have found their leader and moved in an orderly manner towards a safe place.

At this moment, everyone standing in front was under extremely severe pressure.

The Yuanying period is not a joke. In its eyes, the Foundation Building period is as fragile as a bug and can be crushed easily.

Even if it is in the Jindan stage, it is just a more difficult bug to deal with.

If they were to directly clash with the Yuanying period spirit beast, the only ones who would be crushed would be these disciples.

The monks who saw the situation were all shocked.

This secret realm only allows cultivators under the age of one hundred to enter, so no matter how dangerous it is, most of the dangers do not exceed the Jindan stage. Throughout history, those who have reached the Jindan stage at the age of one hundred are already geniuses among geniuses, and those who have reached the Yuanying stage at the age of one hundred are almost unheard of.

Therefore, there are almost no spirit beasts in the infant stage in this secret realm.

Even if there are any, it is difficult for people to encounter them. At least in the past few hundred years, there has been no news of encountering a spirit beast in the Yuanying period in this secret realm.

As for the group of people who were restraining the Yuanying period spirit beast, no one confronted it head-on, but relied on the flexibility of the sword and the cooperation of several people to restrain it.

But this is obviously not a long-term solution.

If a spirit beast in the Yuanying period suddenly went berserk at any time, the people present would definitely not be able to control it.

Even Nan Xi didn't have the energy to spare at this moment. Her eyes were focused and she had to think about the plot that was going to happen later.

[Before the spirit beast went berserk, we decided to scatter and find safe places to hide.]

[Qi Qian finally withstood the attack of the spirit beast and managed to escape but was seriously injured. Because I was worried about him, I deliberately found him and took care of him.]

【Pfft…Haha ....】

[The plot also said that he was seriously injured because he was trying to be the last one to finish. Maybe he was seriously injured because he ran the slowest. I laughed my ass off. He is so weak. He still took care of him. It would have been good enough if he had cast a cleaning spell.]

[No matter! I'm happy that Qiqian got hurt.]

As she thought about it, Nan Xi almost couldn't help but let out a laugh.

Qi Zhao and others: "..."

But as Nan Xi said in his heart, they saw that most of the disciples had already gone far away, so they stopped pestering them. Qi Zhao said loudly: "Scattered, leave, don't pester!"

With just this one sound, everyone went in different directions.

Although their cultivation was not high enough, as direct disciples, each of them had means to save their lives. By finding a sheltered place, concealing their breath, and moving away in other directions, they could get rid of this Yuanying period spirit beast.

The spirit beast seemed to have sensed everyone's thoughts, and it roared suddenly and launched its final attack.

Qi Qian, who was standing at the end, was hit. He barely resisted and spit out blood immediately, but he did not dare to stop for a moment. He used the acupuncture points in his hands and the life-saving things, and ran dozens of miles in the blink of an eye.

Nan Xi glanced in the direction where Qi Qian left, and quickly rushed into a gap in the mountain wall.

At this moment, he used a talisman to conceal his breath and escaped to another place.

The methods used by the rest of the people are similar.

After Nan Xi stopped, he looked in the direction of the spirit beast. It had lost its people and was furious. The surroundings were in a mess and all the monks stayed away from it and were silent.

Nan Xi didn't look at it for long, knowing that it was not the time to deal with the spirit beast yet, so she headed in the direction of Qi Qian to follow the plot.

Because of the plot and Nan Xi's good eyesight, it didn't take her long to find the cave where Qi Qian was.

A concealment formation was arranged outside, but perhaps because Qi Qian could no longer hold on, no barrier was set up. Nan Xi entered it without any effort, and then saw the battle-damaged Qi Qian leaning against the corner with blood on his body.

He had closed his eyes, his brows were furrowed, and he looked unconscious.

Nan Xi was thinking about what to do to avoid physical contact when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind.

Looking back, I was a little surprised.

"Junior sister?"
