Night had fallen. Liu Jinghong glanced at her three good-for-nothing junior brothers, a half-smile on her face, and suddenly pointed in the direction of her treehouse.
"See that little house glowing on that tree? I'm right there. If you encounter any danger, run to that tree, circle it three times to the left, three times to the right, and shout 'Senior brother, save me!' and I'll come down and rescue you."
After saying this, he waved his fan and went back to his room to rest.
The three junior brothers and Feng Sili were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Fortunately, the night was relatively peaceful. Apart from needing to use some spiritual energy artifacts to ward off the miasma, there were no other disturbances, not even mosquitoes.
As soon as the sun shines with the first rays of dawn, the miasma dissipates like the tide.
But when it was fully light, there was still no movement from Liu Jinghong's jade-carved cottage.
The cabin was protected by a concealment array, so they could only find the tree that Liu Jinghong had pointed to based on their memories from the previous night.
"Senior Brother?"
No one answered.
The three disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion were so anxious they were scratching their heads. Could their senior brother still be asleep? But they had to hurry and find a way out!
Having run out of options, the three of them had no choice but to actually circle the tree, three times to the left and three times to the right, before finally stopping and shouting in unison, "Senior brother, save us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jinghong's tall and straight figure descended from the sky: "This young master is here!"
Feng Sili didn't know how to comment on the absurd scene before her, but she vaguely felt that the people from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion seemed to be a little abnormal in their heads.
Liu Jinghong stretched, then pulled a fan from behind his waist and began to wave it slowly. With another wave of his hand, the jade hut materialized, quickly shrinking into a small ball and returning to Liu Jinghong's hand.
Let's go.
Which direction should we go?
The group stared at each other in disbelief.
"What are you looking at me for!" Liu Jinghong narrowed his eyes in displeasure. "I'm only at the seventh level of Qi Refining right now!"
"Senior Brother... um, that..."
"The Eye of Karma, is it? Dream on." Liu Jinghong scoffed coldly, "You've got a bad habit of reaping the benefits without sowing!"
The three young disciples were scolded until their faces turned red.
Feng Sili smiled and said, "I have a plan."
Penglai is proficient in magic. As Penglai's eldest disciple, Feng Sili possesses a mutated wind spirit root that is rare to find in a thousand years. Any wind-type magic in his hands is like adding wings to a tiger.
And coincidentally, the three disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion here were all talisman cultivators, so cutting out a few paper puppet figures was a piece of cake for them.
In practice, it means using the wind to send paper figures to explore in all directions.
Without further ado, the three talisman cultivators threw out a dozen or so paper figures.
The moment the divine sense was imprinted on them, the little paper figures all came to life, jumping and hopping on the ground with great joy.
Feng Sili made a hand gesture: "The wind rises."
In an instant, the little paper figures rose with the wind and were sent in all directions. In the blink of an eye, they all disappeared into the jungle.
Now we just have to wait for the results.
After a short while, almost simultaneously, all the paper figures collided with something. It was an invisible barrier, a hemispherical dome that enclosed the area.
It's a barrier.
Liu Jinghong sighed. Although he was reluctant, he had no choice but to take action given the current situation.
With a flick of his wrist, a piece of Heavenly Spirit Jade appeared in his palm.
The three disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion subconsciously lowered their breathing, afraid of disturbing him.
Liu Jinghong gripped the Heavenly Spirit Jade tightly in one hand, and with the other hand, she extended two fingers and gently stroked her right eye with the back of her fingers.
Golden light flowed down, like the rising sun.
The young man stood proudly, like a god.
As Liu Jinghong felt the heat emanating from the Heavenly Spirit Jade in his palm, he subconsciously clenched it tighter. The world in his right eye seemed to be separated from that in his left eye. He could see strands of golden veins transporting energy from Mother Earth to the roots of plants; he could see the spiritual energy in the air like smoke, in clumps, sometimes thick and sometimes thin; and he could also see the massive barrier that enveloped him, shimmering with a soft white light.
As if sensing something, Liu Jinghong raised her head slightly and immediately saw the vortex where spiritual energy was gathering.
He pointed and shouted, "Shoot there!"
Feng Sili immediately condensed wind blades, and thousands upon thousands of them stabbed heavily in the direction he pointed! The three talisman cultivators followed closely behind, using their spiritual power to lift stacks of explosive talismans and smash them upwards!
They used every trick in the book, unleashing all their damaging attacks on that one spot.
Behind them, Liu Jinghong slowly closed his eyes, staggered, and the golden light dissipated. At the same time, the Heavenly Spirit Jade in his hand also turned into powder.
Before the spirit mirror outside the secret realm, Chu Hongluan's face was expressionless, but her usually cold phoenix eyes seemed to be filled with a storm.
A sound like ice cracking rang out, and the originally dark forest became visibly brighter.
The barrier has been broken.
A bead shrouded in dark red mist fell from mid-air. Liu Jinghong caught it, examined it closely, and then stuffed it into her mustard seed pouch.
This bead looks nice and complements my junior sister's knife. It could be used to make a tassel or inlaid on the scabbard.
Faced with Liu Jinghong's blatant act of keeping the treasure for himself, the others didn't say anything, after all, he was the key to breaking the barrier.
Liu Jinghong swallowed the metallic taste in his throat, his expression remaining calm and composed. He even raised his hand to cast a divination: "Go south."
He was calculating which direction to take so that he would encounter fellow disciples.
I don't know if the divination is accurate or not, but it's just for fun, and it doesn't matter if I don't encounter it.
The group of five headed south and soon reached the area previously marked by the barrier. They thought that stepping out of the barrier meant leaving the forest, but they found that there was still more forest beyond the barrier.
The world within the barrier is but a drop in the ocean.
Liu Jinghong trailed at the very back of the group, neither too close nor too far, waving her jade fan and maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.
As we were walking, we suddenly heard the sounds of fighting and the roars of beasts ahead!
Liu Jinghong peeked out and saw two people rushing towards him at lightning speed amidst the billowing sand.
Why are it these two?
Liu Jinghong raised an eyebrow in annoyance, but still shouted softly, "Save them!"
So when Song Nanhe carried Gu Chunxiao past them, Feng Sili immediately erected a wind wall to block the monster's fiery breath!
The billowing flames and the wall of wind merged, instantly engulfing the entire field of vision! The next instant, a massive beast's claw was already upon them, slashing down!
It's a Crimson Flame Beast at the peak of the Golden Core stage!
The wind wall shattered, and everyone scattered quickly, using their feet to propel themselves onto the tree branches on either side!
The Crimson Flame Beast missed its target and roared furiously in place.
Song Nanhe half-squatted on the tree, one arm around Gu Chunxiao's waist, the other holding his sword. He nodded slightly to Liu Jinghong as a way of thanking him: "Senior Brother."
Gu Chunxiao stared intently at the slender thighs of the Crimson Flame Beast beneath her, her large, dark eyes wide open.
I want to eat it.
Sister Hongluan said that roasting the thigh meat of a demon beast is the most delicious way to eat it.
