Lu Li and his group moved very quickly, and in just 15 minutes, they arrived near the explosion zone.
They had already landed in the woods and had stealthily made their way there from the forest.
Hidden in the woods, they could already see the huge crater in the distance. The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were all knocked down by the aftershocks, with a large area falling outwards from the crater.
The surroundings were completely silent as we walked, as if no life existed there.
The group exchanged glances, secretly on guard, before cautiously continuing their journey.
Before long, they arrived at the edge of the pit and probed the bottom with their divine senses.
They found that apart from a few skeletons that were completely dead and blown beyond recognition, there were no other living creatures inside.
Seeing this, everyone was somewhat surprised and was about to split into two groups, one group staying up to keep watch and the other group going down to check.
Suddenly, when Lu Li's divine sense swept over a certain spot next to the pit, he seemed to discover something and paused for a moment. Gu Borong and Shushu also looked over at the same time.
Gu Borong, like Lu Li, noticed the fluctuations in the talisman and the anomaly in the space. As for Shushu, he simply sensed that there was a treasure there.
Their unusual behavior quickly attracted the attention of others, and everyone looked at them.
Those who had hidden there using invisibility talismans were in agony, constantly praying that these people would leave quickly.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, especially since they had already confirmed that someone was hiding there, so they weren't going to leave at this point.
Thus began a tug-of-war between the two sides, one waiting for the other to appear, the other praying that the other would leave quickly. Neither side made a move, and they fell into an eerie silence.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the other side. Lu Li and Gu Borong were fine, but Xu Ruoyun couldn't hold back any longer and took out an explosive talisman to throw it over there.
Just as the explosive talisman in Xu Ruoyun's hand was about to be activated and thrown out.
The person who had been invisible could no longer care about their image and had no choice but to tear off the invisibility talisman, revealing themselves. They even clasped their hands together and begged Xu Ruoyun for mercy. "Third Senior Sister, don't throw it away, it's me, hehe."
Finally, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his charcoal-black hands, snapped back to reality, and quickly put his hands behind his back, while using an awkward laugh to cover up his discomfort.
Deep down, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into and hide. Sigh, today was a terrible start. The elegant and refined image he had painstakingly maintained for hundreds of years was completely ruined! Ruined!
If he had known he would meet his senior brothers and sisters here, he wouldn't have pursued speed and used that advanced thunderstorm talisman, which made it impossible for cleansing spells and illusion spells to conceal the image of this wanderer!
Sigh~ What a bad year! Looks like he'll have to get himself a whole set of red clothes from head to toe to ward off the bad luck!
Thinking this, he couldn't help but steal a glance at Lu Li and his group across from him. The next moment, he met Shushu's bright and curious eyes.
Almost instantly, he knew that this must be his master's new junior sister, though he didn't know why she was being held in his senior brother's arms.
But at this moment, Fu Ziang genuinely wanted to die. Oh dear, his image as the fifth senior brother was completely ruined.
I wonder if my junior sister will remember me as this ragged, charcoal-black figure with an afro whenever she thinks of me in the future—what's the difference between that and running around naked?!
Fu Zi'ang's inner demons roared to the sky, but he didn't show it on his face at all, maintaining a gentle and refined image, provided that his current appearance was ignored.
Fu Zi'ang's thoughts, though seemingly numerous, were actually fleeting. Xu Ruoyun, upon his appearance, immediately confirmed his identity.
Then came a somewhat complicated question: "Fifth Junior Brother, what are you doing here? Didn't you go to the Western Continent for training?"
Yes, the young man in front of them was Fu Zi'ang, the fifth disciple of Liu Yu and the fifth senior brother of Shushu whom he had not yet met.
Xu Ruoyun had contacted him using a communication jade tablet not long ago. This guy had said that he was training with his new friends in the Western Continent. How did we end up meeting here?
Upon hearing Xu Ruoyun's question, Fu Zi'ang also thought of his newly made 'friend'.
Thinking that he had always considered himself clever, yet he had still been tricked, he was a little embarrassed to admit that he had been set up, so he could only try to cover it up: "Hehe, well... it's a long story."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Borong interrupted him: "Then let's get to the point."
Even Lu Lishu and Hu Hong, who were standing next to him, looked over, their eyes full of questions.
Rabbit glanced at him, then at the deep pit beside him, its meaning quite clear.
Seeing this, what else could Fu Zi'ang do but briefly explain the situation: "Alright, here's what happened..."
It turns out that Fu Ziang's new friend was actually a female cultivator, and a female cultivator with a furnace physique at that.
Fu Ziang met her at a small auction house. At that time, the magical artifact she was using to conceal her physical constitution was seen through, and a group of people cornered her in the auction house.
That female cultivator was not one to be trifled with. In the end, she overturned the entire auction house, injuring both the auction staff and those who tried to stop her, before finally escaping.
Fu Zi'ang, not caring much about it, left on his own.
Later, he encountered this female cultivator being chased several more times. Each time, the female cultivator was able to kill the people chasing her. After this happened many times, Fu Ziang began to look at this woman with new respect.
The last time, the person who came to hunt down this female cultivator was too powerful. The female cultivator almost killed a thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of her own before she finally killed them, and she herself was on the verge of death.
