Looking at the intricate array not far away, the knowledgeable Sikong recognized it somewhat. "Is this a pointless teleportation array?"
The white-bearded old man said proudly, "The Holy Priest has a good eye. This is the pointless teleportation array that the Mountain Lord ordered us to build day and night."
Sikong paused in his breathing.
"No need for two teleportation arrays to connect; can teleport regardless of location?"
The white-bearded old man said arrogantly, "That's true."
Sikong's eyes were filled with fervor as he took a step closer to observe.
Kagura reacted quickly, pulling Sikong into the formation. "The formation won't move. When we get back, I'll have them give you all the information about it. Right now, the most important thing is to rescue our daughter."
A dazzling light shone within the formation, then vanished, and the people inside disappeared as well.
...
Three hundred and fifty miles north of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts lies a vast expanse of lush greenery, stretching as far as the eye can see.
A crimson fire dragon roared in from the azure sky.
Ji Xiaoxiao was immobilized in place by Master Kongkong's Purple Gold Bowl, while the fire dragon charged forward with unstoppable momentum. Just as it was about to crash into the Purple Gold Bowl, Master Kongkong calmly put away his magic weapon, leaving Ji Xiaoxiao to face the scorching fire dragon alone.
There was no time to turn around and dodge, so Ji Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take the hit.
Her spiritual energy surged, forming a protective shield that blocked the fire dragon. Before Ji Xiaoxiao could even rejoice at her escape, she discovered that as the fire dragon crashed into the spiritual energy shield, it was also devouring her spiritual energy to strengthen itself.
"What kind of move is this?" Ji Xiaoxiao exclaimed in shock.
Judging by the speed at which the Fire Dragon devours spiritual energy, Ji Xiaoxiao won't be able to hold out for long.
If one path is blocked, find another.
Ji Xiaoxiao stomped her foot, then clasped her hands tightly together with a snap, compressing her spiritual energy as much as possible. Reaching her limit, Ji Xiaoxiao opened her arms.
"Spiritual energy explosion."
Compression and expansion caused the spiritual energy ball to generate a powerful shockwave.
The shockwave destroyed the fire dragon, and Ji Xiaoxiao's crisis was averted.
This move is harmful to both the attacker and the defender. Ji Xiaoxiao's spiritual power was severely depleted, and she was also seriously injured. At this moment, if she were to fight against Yue Ran and the others, she would be at the end of her rope and would be easily defeated.
"Cough cough cough..."
Ji Xiaoxiao coughed up a mouthful of blood, her body swaying as she nearly fell.
"Witch, you have committed many evils, and now you are getting your comeuppance."
"Witch, witch, witch, witch my ass! She's a beauty."
Ji Xiaoxiao was weak and listless. She tried her best to refute, but her strength revealed her fragility.
Upon seeing this, Yue Ran was overjoyed and secretly sent a message to Lie Yun and Master Kong Kong, "Venerable Lie Yun, Master Kong Kong, I see that the demoness's spiritual power is greatly depleted. If we don't act now, when will we?"
Yue Ran and Lie Yun exchanged a glance, one flanking Ji Xiaoxiao from the left and the other from the right. Kong Kong remained stationary, choosing to attack and defend from a distance.
Ji Xiaoxiao looked left and right, her face ashen.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move; if the enemy moves, I'll move first.
Ji Xiaoxiao held her breath and focused intently on Yue Ran and the other two.
The members of the Demonic Cult are known to be cunning and treacherous, so it is not advisable for them to act rashly.
The three of them waited patiently for their opportunity, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
A gentle breeze blew, its coolness like a feather caressing the heart, tickling and warm. The emerald green leaves on the ground swayed in the wind, drifting and twirling before settling into the battlefield.
The leaves fell slowly, gradually passing under everyone's feet.
Just then, Yue Ran and Lie Yun made their move.
They moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of Ji Xiaoxiao in the blink of an eye.
Ji Xiaoxiao's lips curled up, her eyes filled with ecstatic joy.
Deliberately feign weakness to lure the enemy in, then strike back when they are off guard.
"This is bad," Lie Yun and Yue Ran thought in unison.
Ji Xiaoxiao reached out and tightly grabbed Lie Yun and Yue Ran, and the three figures flew out of the storage ring.
Before Yue Ran and Lie Yun could even see what the newcomer looked like, they were sent flying through the air. Ji Xiaoxiao stood and watched for a while, her bright eyes fixed on Master Kongkong.
Yue Ran and Lie Yun were not suppressed for long. In just a few breaths, they broke through the trap set by Ji Xiaoxiao, looking disheveled and panting heavily.
"Witch, you...!"
Yue Ran pointed at Ji Xiaoxiao's nose, ready to unleash a torrent of abuse, but her mouth trembled as she opened it, only managing to utter choked sobs.
"Hui'er, Yu'er, Lingling."
Yue Ran solemnly recited the names of the puppets that protected Ji Xiaoxiao's safety one by one.
"Witch, what have you done to them?" Yue Ran shouted angrily.
Ji Xiaoxiao touched Mingyuehui's smooth face. "As you can see, they are now things of my Yinhun Mountain—Yinhun Puppets."
Yue Ran staggered a few steps and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
His lips were pale, his face was blood red, and his black hair fluttered in the wind, but he showed no signs of being carefree or bold.
Yue Ran angrily slapped his palm, directly slicing off a mountain peak.
"Witch, prepare to die!"
Ignoring Lieyun and Kongkong's advice, Yue Ran went up to fight alone, unarmed.
Ji Xiaoxiao wished Yue Ran would come alone. Although he had three puppets, they could only fight against a single Nascent Soul cultivator if they cooperated. If Yue Ran and the other two attacked together, Ji Xiaoxiao would undoubtedly lose.
"Take down Yue Ran before they notice."
Now that Yue Ran has lost all reason, she is the easiest to deal with.
Ji Xiaoxiao gave the order, and the three puppets, including Mingyuehui, cooperated seamlessly, fighting a fierce and evenly matched battle with Yueran.
“Master Kongkong, that demoness is cunning and treacherous. If Sect Leader Yue goes up rashly, the chances of her survival are slim.”
Lie Yun had a small bead of blood at the corner of his mouth, his hair was disheveled, and he no longer had the demeanor of an immortal.
