Chapter 74: Persistence
The light in the forest is dim. The straight and tall trees block most of the sunlight. Only sparse and mottled light shines through the branches and leaves of the trees, making the forest particularly mysterious and strange.
The air was filled with a drifting mist, but it was surprisingly quiet, as if no living creature had ever set foot here.
In this dense forest full of threats, a brutal siege was taking place. Dozens of monks were surrounding the two monks in the middle. Their attacks were very fierce. They threw out spells as if they didn't need spirit stones, and attacked their sub-targets fiercely. The two women in the middle were desperately waving their flying swords. The spells formed by sword energy were struggling to resist the waves of attacks. There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground around them. It seemed that their battle had started for a long time. Leng Youran kept flipping the flying sword in her hand, and white sword energy danced in the wind and scattered. From a distance, it looked like a white shield. As long as the monks around her got a little closer to her, they would be forced back by the dense sword energy, making it impossible for the monks surrounding her to get close.
Such a scene made the monks surrounding her frown involuntarily. For a moment, they became a little angry and their attacks became more fierce.
Leng Youran looked at the cultivators surrounding her and couldn't help feeling angry. These people had been chasing them for a month. What made her feel strange was that these people seemed to be independent cultivators, and judging from their appearance, they must have been hired.
But why do these people always pursue her relentlessly? After a month, the talismans in her hand are almost used up. These people have been chasing her so closely that she has no time to make more talismans. She really wants to know why these people are so obsessed with them.
Looking back at Qin Mengmeng beside him, he felt even more anxious. They had been fighting for a long time, and now the spiritual power in their bodies was almost exhausted. If they didn't think of a way, it would be troublesome. Leng Youran gritted his teeth and took out the last fifth-grade talisman from the storage bag. After inputting spiritual power into it, he let it float above their heads.
With the addition of the talisman, she temporarily blocked the attacks of those people. She pulled out a dozen talismans from her storage bag and threw them at the other side. These were low-level talismans that could only serve as a distraction, but that wasn't a solution. Looking at the wounds on the two people, both large and small, she felt very anxious. If she was alone, she could still hide in the space, but she had Mengmeng by her side. What should she do now? Just then, a light rain began to fall from the sky. Soon, the rain fell heavier and heavier. For a moment, it seemed as if the sky was pierced. The rain fell from the sky like a bucket. Slowly, everyone could no longer see the faces of the people on the other side. To save spiritual energy, Leng Youran had already cast a defensive talisman on the two people when the rain started. The attacks from the other side became more and more fierce. Leng Youran looked at the rain outside, and his consciousness began to blur: water is soft, yet soft and strong. The belief, persistence and pursuit are awe-inspiring.
The Yellow River bends like a whirlwind, yet it faces countless obstacles and temptations. Even with the numerous mountains and rivers, its will to flow eastward into the sea has never wavered, and its majestic and powerful steps have never stopped for a moment. The waves hit the reefs, but they never retreat even if they are smashed to pieces. Wave after wave succeeds each other, fighting bravely, and finally smashing the reefs into pieces. Water drips from the cliff, day after day, year after year, determined to its goal, without being arrogant or impatient, and "ticking" and "ticking" thousands of times, until it finally carves a hole in the stubborn stone. It can be said that "the softest thing in the world can conquer the hardest thing in the world."
Qin Mengmeng single-handedly resisted all the attacks. She had noticed early on that something was amiss with Leng Youran, and knew she must be experiencing an epiphany. She must not let these people disturb her. Although she already had many scars on her body, she looked at Leng Youran beside her and could only grit her teeth and persevere. It was Youran who had always taken care of her and protected her, so this time, let her protect Youran! They had experienced many battles, both large and small, in the past few months. She was no longer the ignorant little girl. Her master and the others had protected her so well, allowing her to indulge herself repeatedly. She had been playful all those years and disliked cultivation, which was why she was still in the Great Perfection of the Qi Training Stage and had never suddenly reached the Foundation Establishment Stage barrier.
She has learned a lot during the time she has been following Leng Youran. In just a few months, she has not only consolidated her previously superficial cultivation, but her cultivation has now firmly remained at the great perfection of the Qi training stage. She believes that it won't be long before she can break through the foundation building stage. Sure enough, it was right to follow Youran out. She still remembers the worry and reluctance on the master's face when the master knew that she was going to follow Youran out for training. She could only silently say sorry to the master in her heart: Master, please forgive Mengmeng for not being able to go back. Mengmeng broke the appointment this time. Master, Mengmeng actually has something to tell you: Master, Mengmeng knew a few years ago that you are not my master, but Mengmeng's father! I don't know why you don't want to recognize me, but I really don't blame you. But what you may not know is that Mengmeng actually envies Youran very much. Every time I hear him call me daddy, I am so envious and jealous. But now Mengmeng has figured it out. Although I still envy her, I am no longer jealous, because Youran said that no matter what identity you are by my side, I just want to know that you still care about me and love me, as long as we are both alive and well, Mengmeng will be content. As long as Master is by my side, no matter what identity you are by my side, as long as I know that you love me very much, that's enough.
With deep reluctance, she persisted for two hours. At this time, Qin Mengmeng could no longer use any spiritual power. She could only watch a flying sword attacking her dantian. She no longer had the ability to dodge and closed her eyes waiting for death to come.
I smiled bitterly in my heart: Master, I'm sorry, I really have to say goodbye to you this time. Mengmeng has tried her best. Master, please don't be sad if you know that something happened to me, otherwise Mengmeng will be sad. And his lovely brothers and sisters, they all love her so much, and Youran, I'm sorry, I really tried my best.
Just when she was completely desperate, Leng Youran, who was standing aside, suddenly moved. The flying sword in her hand began to dance skillfully, seemingly unintentionally blocking the flying sword attacking Qin Mengmeng. Shui Zhiyi used the water spiritual power in the air to rush towards her madly. The swarming water spiritual power was transformed by her into transparent flying swords. The dense sword energy ruthlessly attacked the people on the opposite side. Qin Mengmeng did not feel any pain for a while before she opened her eyes in surprise. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Leng Youran waving the flying sword in his hand with his eyes closed, which made her stunned.
Leng Youran didn't care what was happening outside. She felt that all the water spiritual power in the world was just like her own, so docile in her hands. Leng Youran was immersed in the sword intent of water: there was no sword in her hand, and no sword in her heart. Man and sword were one, the sword was man, and man was the sword!
Leng Youran suddenly opened her eyes, and a gentle spiritual power wrapped around Qin Mengmeng's body, directly pulling her out of the attack range of those monks and placing her safely behind her. At this time, the attack in her hand became more fierce, and sword energy was emitted from the flying sword in her hand. Each sword energy would take away a trace of the spiritual power of those monks. Leng Youran closed her eyes again, and all the movements of these people appeared in her consciousness when her spiritual sense was released. Each of her sword energy kept disrupting their attacks, and the monks on the opposite side suddenly panicked. They were already a little confused because of Leng Youran's sudden increase in attack, and their attacks were disrupted by her sword energy. These people suddenly panicked again. In less than half an hour, there was no survivor of the monks on the opposite side.
Only then did Leng Youran open his eyes. He quickly walked over to Qin Mengmeng and fed her a recovery pill. He then helped her dissolve the pill quickly, and guided her spiritual power to recover her injuries. After her injuries got better, he quickly cleaned up the battlefield and left with Qin Mengmeng, whose injuries had stabilized. He brought Qin Mengmeng to a place a few hundred miles away and found an abandoned cave near the mountains. After Leng Youran checked and found no problems, he placed the seriously injured Qin Mengmeng inside. He then returned the same way and cleaned up the traces of their passage. She had no other choice but to explain the inexplicable pursuits these days. It was impossible for her to say that it was the Lin family! Wasn't the Lin family wiped out by their parents? So what was going on with these people? After returning to the cave, she couldn't help but wonder. She returned to the cave she had opened up and pulled out a seemingly ordinary storage bag from her storage bracelet. This storage bag belonged to the monk who led the group. She opened the storage bag and glanced inside, wanting to see if there was anything inside that could prove their identities. As she expected, the storage bag was full of things. It looked a bit messy, so she simply poured everything out. Finally, a palm-sized jade token fell out. There was no other pattern on the jade token, just a simple white feather engraved on it. Leng Youran was stunned by the jade token. This was the pattern used exclusively by the Tianyu Sect, and this jade token was the identity jade token of a Tianyu Sect monk. Why would the Tianyu Sect kill them? And it seemed that they were targeting her. If she couldn't figure it out, she didn't want to think about it. This was not a solution. Sigh! If all else failed, she could ask her father for help. After all, she had a backer! He remembered that he had forgotten something just now, so he returned to the cave and set up an illusion array outside the cave entrance. Outside the illusion array, there was also a defense and attack array. These arrays were all high-level arrays. Seeing that these arrays were all prepared by his father, he felt very satisfied. Only ordinary people could not see any traces of the illusion array.
Leng Youran took another look at Qin Mengmeng's situation, and set up a defense and attack formation around her. When she woke up, she could come out of the formation directly. After looking around and finding that there was no problem, she went to another cave to meditate. She also needed to heal her injuries. In addition, the talismans in the storage bag were almost used up, and they had to make some more, otherwise they would suffer in the future. Thinking of this, she appeared in the space.
