"Princess, there seems to be a rope here, but I can't pull it out." Huikong was really not used to the title of "Princess". Liu Jingyun was so obsessed with the "treasure" on Ren Zhongyuan that she didn't realize that Huikong had made her look like a sissy.
Huikong felt a rope as thick as a hair around Ren Zhongyuan's neck. If Liu Jingyun hadn't been standing next to her, Huikong would have been scared to death.
The feeling of touch in his hands, yet his eyes couldn't see it, reminded Huikong of the rumors of "ghost encounters" in his hometown as a child. After all, Huikong had only been a member of Shangqing Palace for a few minutes and had yet to witness the mysterious tricks Liu Jingyun used from time to time to pretend to be a "god". At this point, Huikong was really not brave enough.
"Get some blood and drip it on his rope." Liu Jingyun pondered for a moment before coming up with an idea. It was palpable, but invisible. It was clear that Ren Zhongyuan's "treasure" was under an illusion. Liu Jingyun wasn't sure if Huikong's blood could break the illusion, but he'd only know if he tried, right?
Huikong looked at Liu Jingyun who was eager to pounce on him and make him bleed, and with a cruel heart, he put his index finger into his mouth and bit it hard.
Blood oozed from Huikong's index finger. Huikong endured the pain and wiped the blood on his finger on the rope that he felt with his hand.
As blood dripped, a thin red string gradually emerged from Ren Zhongyuan's neck. Huikong reached out and tugged, pulling out a thumb-sized white jade pendant from the bottom of the string.
Looking at the intricate patterns on the peace locket, whose meaning he didn't understand, Liu Jingyun's pupils shrank suddenly.
Liu Jingyun was very sure that this was a jade talisman, and it was the most precious defensive jade talisman in the world of cultivation.
How could Ren Zhongyuan, a mortal, have a jade talisman used by monks? Could he be a descendant of some powerful monk?
Thinking of this possibility, Liu Jingyun couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
The higher a monk's level, the smaller their chances of reproducing. Therefore, monks place great value on their direct bloodline. Some powerful monks particularly enjoy leaving behind magical self-defense weapons for their direct descendants.
As far as Liu Jingyun knew, a high-level defensive jade talisman like the one Ren Zhongyuan wore would cost at least a thousand spirit stones in the cultivation world, and it was in short supply. Cultivators frequently fought against each other, and possessing a high-level defensive jade talisman could potentially save one's life in a crucial moment.
If Liu Jingyun could possess such a jade talisman, he would be able to fight Liu Jingyu even if he met him... Thinking of this, Liu Jingyun felt his heart burning.
"You...you take this jade off and give it to me." Liu Jingyun's voice trembled with inexplicable excitement. Huikong automatically understood that Liu Jingyun wanted to take the jade from Ren Zhongyuan's neck immediately.
If you want to go fast, you must pull it!
"Yes." Huikong responded obediently, grabbed the peace locket on Ren Zhongyuan's neck and pulled it down hard.
According to Huikong's idea, the red rope around Ren Zhongyuan's neck was so thin that it would definitely not be able to withstand his pulling force.
"Gently..." Liu Jingyun hadn't finished speaking when he saw Huikong's "rough" action. He was frightened to death and shouted, "Stop." At the same time, Liu Jingyun quickly retreated more than ten meters.
Although Liu Jingyun's shout was loud, unfortunately, Huikong had already used up his strength, so how could he take it back?
With Huikong's strong pull, Liu Jingyun saw a white light emanating from the peace locket on Ren Zhongyuan's neck.
As the white light appeared, Huikong seemed to be pushed by an invisible giant hand and flew into the air. This time, before Huikong could even scream, he fell heavily to the ground and spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
After vomiting blood, Huikong fainted magnificently.
Good...powerful defense! Liu Jingyun exclaimed in his heart, and was determined to get the jade talisman on Ren Zhongyuan's neck.
After waiting for a few minutes, Liu Jingyun saw that the jade talisman on Ren Zhongyuan's neck did not move, so he raised his leg and walked towards Ren Zhongyuan.
When the peace locket on Ren Zhongyuan's neck emitted a white light, Zhou Yuanyuan just fell behind Wen Ziqing and the others and came to a valley less than ten kilometers away from Ning'an Temple.
Ren Zhongyuan's jade talisman was given to him by Zhou Yuanyuan. Zhou Yuanyuan specifically told Ren Zhongyuan not to leave the jade talisman.
Zhou Yuanyuan knew the character of Ren Lao Niang and was afraid that Ren Zhongyuan would be plotted against by Ren Lao Niang and her family without knowing it, so she specially left a trace of her spiritual consciousness on the jade talisman given to Ren Zhongyuan.
The moment the jade talisman was triggered, Zhou Yuanyuan's consciousness "saw" Huikong flying in the air and the palace high above Ren Zhongyuan's head.
Huikong didn't use much force, and the white light of the jade talisman dissipated after two seconds.
Zhou Yuanyuan frowned, closed her eyes, and followed the touched jade talisman with her spiritual consciousness.
The bald fat monk and the temple-like roof, the surrounding environment has nothing in common with Ren Zhongyuan's home. It looks like something has happened to Ren Zhongyuan.
Zhou Yuanyuan did not dare to hesitate, and followed the breath of the jade talisman and shot away like lightning.
Wen Ziqing was feeling very upset at this moment.
The rescue team he led consisted of over thirty soldiers, including Meng Xiaohu and Chen Zhiyong from the special training regiment. There was also a special person in the team: Zhou Miaomiao.
Zhou Miaomiao said that she was willing to redeem herself and help find the cave where she was imprisoned, so Wen Ziqing took her with him.
After arriving near Ning'an Temple, Zhou Miaomiao said it was in the east, then in the west. He led their team around the mountains for almost two hours, but still couldn't find any trace of the cave.
It would be strange if Wen Ziqing didn't notice what Zhou Miaomiao was thinking at this time.
"Auntie, think carefully, are there any obvious features around the cave?" Meng Xiaohu was also a little impatient. If they had known that this woman was so dishonest, they might as well have found it themselves faster.
Auntie? Zhou Miaomiao's smile froze when Meng Xiaohu approached her.
You are the auntie! Your whole family is aunties! Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Meng Xiaohu, who was about 26 or 27 years old, and cursed in her heart.
"Auntie, think about this quickly, or we'll have to leave you here and search the mountain." Meng Xiaohu saw Zhou Miaomiao rolling her eyes at him, her facial muscles twitching, feeling a little puzzled. He was speaking the truth. Didn't he see the captain was getting impatient? Meng Xiaohu could predict that within ten minutes, Wen Ziqing might order everyone to disperse and search.
