Chapter 336 I Can’t Protect You Anymore
At first, Qi Ying went around from the east to the south of the city, and then to the west. The west side of the city was where some low-level monks lived. The spiritual energy there was relatively thin, and there were many alleys, which looked a bit messy.
Watching her turning left and right, even Gu Liyue admired her ability to recognize the way.
I have to say that choosing this area can really prevent being followed. If you follow too closely, you might be worried about being discovered, and if you follow too far away, you might easily lose it.
Fortunately, Xuanhuo and Gu Liyue had strong spiritual senses and they locked onto Qi Ying's aura, following him closely all the way.
Xuanhuo watched her walk into an alley. There were not many people around, so he guessed that they were almost at their destination.
Unexpectedly, she turned back, as if she had taken the wrong road. Gu Liyue and Nie Hengzhou were caught off guard and it was too late to escape. They immediately ran into her head-on.
There was no one around, and their appearance here was very abrupt.
Nie Hengzhou had no choice but to support Gu Liyue and press her against the wall next to him. He lowered his head and pressed his face towards Gu Liyue.
Gu Liyue: "..."
She looked up at Nie Hengzhou after his disguise and felt that he had such an ordinary appearance. She seemed a little hesitant when she wanted to attack him, but she had to cooperate with him. She raised her hands in pretending to be emotional, put them behind his head, and pulled him towards her.
Nie Hengzhou's original intention was just to pretend to be a couple and be intimate in a remote alley, but he didn't expect Gu Liyue to be so enthusiastic, which made him a little unable to control himself.
The pleasant scent of Gu Liyue filled his nose, making him feel a little excited. He took a deep breath, originally thinking of calming himself down, but he didn't expect to inhale her delicate fragrance again.
He felt dizzy and just wanted to get closer to her, so he could only use his willpower to control himself and not do anything too extreme.
When Qi Ying passed by them, he took a look and found that they were a pair of low-level cultivators. He knew at a glance that they were so poor that they could only date at the entrance of the alley, so he sneered and walked away.
Gu Liyue didn't dare to move, afraid of being discovered, until she heard Xuanhuo's voice: "Are you guys asleep? She's gone far away."
Gu Liyue lowered her hand, placed it on Nie Hengzhou's shoulder, and gently pushed him away. She coughed softly and said, "Hengzhou, let's go. Follow me."
Nie Hengzhou calmed himself down and quickly followed.
Xuanhuo was secretly complaining: These two are here to talk about love! What if I am not here?
He still followed them from a distance, and only felt relieved when he saw that they finally became normal.
They followed Qi Ying to the west city gate and watched her walk to the right side of the gate and stop.
Gu Liyue and Nie Hengzhou immediately hid in the shadows in the corner.
Qi Ying looked around as if nothing had happened, then suddenly walked into the city wall and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Gu Liyue and Nie Hengzhou were shocked. There was such a flaw in the barrier of Qilin City. Did the Leng family know about it?
Gu Liyue instantly extended her spiritual sense outside the city wall, and indeed saw Qi Ying's figure.
She and Nie Hengzhou approached the place where Qi Ying had just left. After watching Qi Ying walk away, Gu Liyue stretched out her hand to test it, and found that her hand had passed through. At that moment, Xuanhuo also came to their side.
The two men and the beast got up and walked through the city gate. Gu Liyue curiously walked into the city again before walking out.
Is this just a trick? Or some kind of formation?
She didn't have time to explore it for the time being, so she left the city and followed Qi Ying.
As soon as they left the city, Qi Ying flew westward on her sword. She flew very fast, while Xuanhuo, Gu Liyue, and Nie Hengzhou followed her from a distance.
Xuanhuo looked at Qiying from afar in front of him, and saw her disappear in a flash. He became alert.
"Wait, don't get close yet. There might be a barrier there. Let me go over and take a look first."
Gu Liyue responded: "Okay."
Xuanhuo flew over but found nothing unusual.
At this moment, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, as if issuing a warning. Xuanhuo felt a familiar breath descending from the sky, and a pressure and warning poured down.
His mind raced: This was the aura of the upper realm, he had been discovered by the Heavenly Dao. He had originally thought that he could cover it up by using magic tools and suppressing his own cultivation, so that he would not be easily discovered by the Heavenly Dao.
Could it be that the formation here would expose himself to the Heavenly Dao?
He used his spiritual power to try to cover himself up once again, but then a beam of light appeared from the sky and hit him, making him unable to move. The Heavenly Dao had locked him up, and he was powerless to resist.
He felt a powerful force pulling him upwards, and he quickly sent a message to Gu Liyue.
"Liyue, I've been discovered by the Heavenly Dao and may have to go to the upper realm. Go find Qingxiao for help. We don't know when we'll meet again. From now on... I can't protect you anymore."
Gu Liyue watched Xuanhuo being pulled up from afar, also with a look of astonishment on her face, and heard the voice transmission.
"Okay, go ahead and don't worry. We will find you as soon as possible. You must protect yourself."
Xuanhuo looked back at Gu Liyue, feeling reluctant to leave this bright and cold girl, his good friend.
He waved his hand vigorously, and a stream of spiritual energy flowed into Gu Liyue's Baihui point, causing her whole body to tremble. She felt that her cultivation had increased a little, reaching the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Bai Rui's voice came from the space.
"Liyue."
Xuanhuo took a final look at the space and headed to the upper realm with peace of mind, leaving her with only one word: "Okay."
Gu Liyue was filled with emotion. Xuanhuo had been by her side ever since she came into this world. It had grown from weak to strong, and she had also grown from weak to what she is now. They had always been together.
She thought about how much happiness Xuanhuo brought her when he was still in the form of a bird, and scenes from the past emerged one after another.
I also remembered the situation when he first transformed into a human form, his flamboyant appearance and arrogant look.
I won’t be used to it in the future!
Looking at Xuanhuo ascending, she didn't dare to notify Qingxiao immediately, fearing that once Qingxiao arrived, he would be discovered by Tiandao and ascend like Xuanhuo.
She changed her mind and thought that since the heavenly law of this place could see through Xuanhuo's disguise, it must be able to see through Sang Lin's as well.
This method was obviously Sang Lin's. Only he would study the method of concealing the Heavenly Dao. On the contrary, he must also know how to expose Xuanhuo to the Heavenly Dao.
In other words, as long as Sang Lin dares to show up, he can invite Qingxiao over.
The two watched Xuanhuo slowly fly up. Gu Liyue felt that the connection between her and Xuanhuo, which was formed when they formed a pact, and the originally thickest golden spiritual thread in her sea of consciousness, was gradually weakening.
As the dazzling fire disappeared into the invisible sky, the golden thread also completely vanished, and she felt that a thread of bondage in her sea of consciousness was gone.
If we can't meet again, Xuanhuo will only exist in our memories.
She heard Bai Rui calling her again. He seemed to sense Gu Liyue's emotional fluctuations. "Liyue, you still have me! And because of Xuanhuo's spiritual power just now, I'm much stronger! From now on, I can protect you."
