The others who escaped from the deep pit in the secret realm only saw a cry in the distance. A firebird broke through the ground and flew straight into the sky. Its golden wings fluttered, and its four bright tail feathers left a long trail in the dark sky, shimmering like starlight. Under the golden light, it seemed that two black dots were hanging in mid-air, following closely behind.
No one knows how Geng Qi managed to bind the two of them face to face, their waists pressed together, so close that their breaths and heartbeats were clearly audible.
Qinghan was extremely glad that she wasn't tall enough, so she could use the excuse of being tied up to bury her head in the scorpion's chest.
They recognized the golden whip, but now that it was bound, they felt that Feng Yuan was much more flexible than before. Qing Han raised his head slightly and asked, "Are you... are you alright?"
Jie Beiying naturally put her arm around his shoulder and smiled, "It's alright."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light flashed across the sky, just passing by them.
"..."
In the blink of an eye, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, with bolts of lightning thicker than a person striking down one after another, which the phoenix dodged one by one.
"Hey, are you alright?"
The voice came from above. Qing Han raised his head and said, "It's alright!"
Chen Jin was still desperately pulling at the black thorns binding his body, but nothing he did helped. Then, more lightning struck, and just when he was in despair, he suddenly heard a familiar voice above him, and his eyes lit up.
Although he was wary of the Demon Lord, as long as the Demon Lord didn't harm people, at least his safety was guaranteed!
What reassured him even more was that if the Demon Lord was here, then the Crown Prince must be here too!
After confirming that he was not being kidnapped, he stopped struggling and summoned his spirit sword to dodge the lightning in the sky.
Geng Qi telepathically instructed them to fly on their swords and hide under the phoenix before returning to the bird's back.
The higher they flew, the denser the lightning became. Qinghan rode his sword through the lightning, and when he glanced up, he saw that the wings of the phoenix in the air blocked most of the lightning. Some of it missed and grazed past him, but no matter how much lightning there was, not a single bolt hit him.
What should have been a cause for celebration instead caused him to frown. He felt that this scene was familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.
Another bolt of lightning struck, completely disrupting his thoughts.
On the back of the bird in the sky, Rong Yu erected a spiritual energy shield. Thorns rose up from nowhere and transformed into streaks of purple lightning. The phoenix beneath him flew very steadily and was not affected by the obstruction of the secret realm at all.
In a place completely different from where they had come, looking down at the scorched earth below, vortexes formed by spatial turbulence kept gathering and chasing after them, as if trying to divide and destroy them.
Suddenly, a mirror of light appeared overhead, seemingly emerging from the clouds, standing out starkly against the dark night sky. Geng Qi asked, "What is that...?"
“It’s the month,” Rong Yu said.
The bright moon in the desolate swamp appears normal from a distance, but upon closer inspection, it turns out to be just a lens used for reflection.
The voice that suddenly popped into his mind startled Geng Qi, who asked, "You're not dead yet?"
system:
Geng Qi coughed lightly: "You may continue."
"..."
So this phoenix is meant to send them away?
Turning back to look at the spatial turbulence that was relentlessly pursuing them, and then looking up at the "moon" that was already so close, Geng Qi tightened his grip on the long whip and thought to himself: Come on, I'm ready.
Rong Yu watched him shift between surprise and realization, and now he wore a heroic expression as if he were going to die for his cause. He couldn't help but reach out and smooth his furrowed brow: "What's wrong?"
Geng Qi glanced at him and paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.
If he leaves now, he will inevitably return to the Demon Realm. The secret realm has been angered by them. In order to prevent the secret realm from taking its anger out on other disciples and causing accidents, Rong Yu must return to the sect and ask the major sects to restart the secret realm ahead of schedule to rescue their disciples.
In that case, they will have to separate for the time being.
Overwhelmed with reluctance, he suddenly lowered his head and hugged the person in front of him tightly around the waist: "I will come find you!"
Rong Yu was stunned for a moment, "What..."
Before the words were finished, the bird suddenly tilted, and the two of them swayed and hugged each other even tighter. The moonlight reflected in the mirror was so bright that they couldn't open their eyes, and the temperature around them dropped sharply. After a while, when they opened their eyes again, they were surrounded by green mountains and clear waters.
Geng Qi opened his eyes and looked around: "Where am I...?"
A cloud of mist swirled beneath my feet, nestled among the green trees, while below, the still-standing, majestic buildings radiated a soft glow.
He might not recognize the other Geng Qi, but he would definitely recognize the nine hundred and ninety-nine jade steps that soared straight up in front of the mountain gate.
This is Qiushu Mountain, the location of the Tianzhi Sect!
Rong Yu was also somewhat surprised. He looked down at the phoenix beneath him. After leaving the secret realm, the phoenix seemed to have completed its mission and had transformed into starlight, scattered throughout the mortal world.
Without needing to fly on their swords, the two stood in mid-air. Rong Yu said, "It..."
Geng Qi raised his hand and caught a red feather, feeling a strange tightness in his chest. "It was just a phantom created by a spirit, it won't last long."
There was no response from the person beside him for a long time. Geng Qi looked up and saw that he looked bewildered. He quickly smiled and said, "I don't know why, but seeing this phoenix made a lot of things pop into my head, I..."
He thought Rong Yu was surprised that he knew too much, and was about to explain when suddenly his waist tightened, and he bumped into the man's arms.
A voice filled with concern reached Rong Yu's ears, and he called out, "Chang Yi."
Geng Qi's eyes widened slightly, his vision suddenly blurred, and something overflowed from his eyes, streaming down his cheeks. He was startled and hurriedly wiped his face with his hands, straightening up and saying, "I didn't cry!"
