Lu Jingshen and Qi Wenyao deliberately bypassed the crowded areas of the Burning Heaven Palace and instead swept through the less crowded areas.
Finally, they arrived at the main hall. When Qi Wenyao realized that the main hall was full of people, he instinctively wanted to tell Lu Jingshen to retreat.
But before he could even utter the word 'retreat,' the latter, looking tense, grabbed the Peashooter and rushed into the main hall.
The main hall was indeed full of people.
A large group of people were lying on the floor of the main hall, all of them injured, with blood flowing everywhere.
There was also a large pit on the ground.
Lu Jingshen realized that his junior sister might be down below, so he stepped forward and randomly selected a Burning Heaven Palace disciple who had stopped them at the door earlier.
He reached out and tore off the immobilization charm from the opponent's body, then shoved the Peashooter cannon directly into the opponent's face.
"Where is the girl from earlier? Where is she?"
The swordsman, who had once again been blasted straight to the face by a cannon, said, "...I'm leaving."
"I don't believe it," Lu Jingshen said bluntly.
"...If you don't believe me, don't ask me! Damn, I give up!"
He was already defeated by that Golden Core cultivator who claimed to be Shi Yueyao, but the other party even stole his palace master's treasure.
That's not all; they just witnessed something burst through the ground of the main hall and soar into the sky.
Realizing that it might be a treasure kept by the palace master, the sword cultivator felt a sense of desolation.
It's getting cold.
When the palace master returns and finds that the treasure has flown away, how will they explain it to him?
Lu Jingshen pursed his lips and stuck the immobilization talisman on him again. "It's useless."
The sword cultivator, now unable to speak: ...Damn, I give up! Does anyone in the family understand?!
After looking around and confirming that his junior sister was not there, Lu Jingshen looked up and saw a huge hole in the ceiling.
He thought that it might be his junior sister, or perhaps the big hole that Zhuque had made.
He followed Qi Wenyao and rummaged through the main hall again, putting all the things Sheng Ning didn't want into his storage bag before turning to leave.
The sword cultivator, lying on the ground watching helplessly as all the treasures in his palace's main hall were swept away: Damn! I'm truly impressed!!!
These people are devils!
Sheng Ning had previously arranged with Lu Jingshen that the three of them would meet at the foot of the mountain.
However, after Lu Jingshen and his companion descended the mountain, they did not see Sheng Ning.
Instead, they received a communication talisman.
Upon hearing the contents of the communication talisman, Lu Jingshen's expression hardened.
Qi Wenyao frowned upon seeing this. "What's wrong? Did Fellow Daoist Sheng leave beforehand?"
The sound transmission talisman is destroyed after use.
A flame burned in mid-air.
After the communication talisman was burned to ashes, Lu Jingshen looked up and met Qi Wenyao's gaze. "We may need to head to the Qi family as soon as possible."
"Why?" Qi Wenyao asked, puzzled.
"My junior sister said she has found the Vermilion Bird and released it."
"But the Vermilion Bird was out of its mind. As soon as it broke free of its confinement, it rushed towards the Qi family. It may have sensed Qiu Wenxuan's presence and wanted to seek revenge on him."
Qi Wenyao: "...Then why are you so calm! Aren't you coming back with me right now?!"
The Qi family is going to be destroyed!
Lu Jingshen raised his hand and touched his nose. "We must be careful in our work. The transmission talisman is an important talisman. I must see it burned with my own eyes before I can feel at ease."
Qi Wenyao couldn't stand his many explanations.
He grabbed his hand and directly drew his sword, then flew towards the Qi family at top speed.
Zhuque is indeed heading towards the Qi family.
As it galloped toward the Qi family, Sheng Ning also spurred his horse to catch up with it.
At this moment, the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword already possessed divine consciousness, and she no longer needed to use spiritual power to control it.
So when Sheng Ning said that they should catch up with Zhuque as soon as possible, the longsword chased after him at lightning speed.
It took them an unknown amount of time to arrive at the Qi family's house.
As soon as the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword landed, Sheng Ning collapsed to the ground.
“yue......”
The churning sensation in her stomach made Sheng Ning instinctively gag.
It's been so long since I've felt this way.
The last time I felt nauseous was back in the Invincible Sect.
"Brother Jian, could you please limit your speed next time? You're flying too fast..."
The feeling of longing in my mind came to an abrupt end.
Sheng Ning gagged again.
The Eight-Star Kunwu Sword stood before her.
After hearing what she said, the sword rolled on the ground in dissatisfaction, as if throwing a tantrum.
Sheng Ning took a deep breath and finally managed to stop the churning in her stomach. When she looked up, she saw Master Qi standing not far away, his expression serious and his lips slightly moving, as if he were lecturing her.
In front of him.
The Vermilion Bird, which had been in a daze in the Burning Heaven Palace, was now bowing its head... being scolded?
Thinking she was hallucinating, Sheng Ning raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows and eyes vigorously.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw that Master Qi was already standing in front of her, still wearing that kind smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, thank you for your hard work."
Sheng Ning sat on the ground, looking up at the scene before him, his expression blank. "Master Qi, this Vermilion Bird..."
"The Vermilion Bird was Qingqing's contracted beast back then. After Qingqing had an accident, I spent some effort breaking the contract, but I never expected it to refuse to leave."
"It was also due to my neglect in taking care of it. When it suddenly disappeared before, I just assumed it had left and returned to Tianling Mountain, but I never expected..."
Master Qi had only just returned not long ago.
Upon seeing Suzaku, he was first shocked, then heartbroken.
After all, it was the lady's contracted beast, and she had developed feelings for it over the years.
Seeing how badly it was injured, unable to even speak, and with its cultivation level completely reversed, he felt nothing but guilt.
"It was all my fault that Qingqing asked me to take good care of it back then."
After hearing Master Qi's words, Sheng Ning realized that Zhuque had not come to seek revenge on Qiu Wenxuan.
It has come to find its former owner.
"But Master Qi, everyone says that once you sign a contract with a spirit beast or divine beast, it can't be broken?"
Therefore, she was extremely cautious. Apart from the accidental contract she formed with the pig-worm, she didn't even have a spirit pet by her side.
Hearing her question, Master Qi smiled and nodded, "It is indeed impossible to solve, but Qingqing is different."
He didn't elaborate on what was different.
Instead, he narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face was chilling. "Fellow Daoist Sheng said that the Palace Master of Burning Heaven Palace captured Little Sparrow and used an ancient secret technique on it?"
Do you know where he is right now?
After all, Qiu Wenxuan was once his wife's contracted beast, so how could Master Qi let him off so easily?
Upon hearing that Qiu Wenxuan was imprisoned in the Qi family's water dungeon, Master Qi curled his lips and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Sheng, would you be willing to come with me?"
"I just got back and the steward told me that the Palace Master of Burning Heaven Palace laid a hand on Fellow Daoist Sheng?"
