"Hey! Don't rush!"
Seeing the girl run away, Shen Yunhao's expression turned anxious. He jumped out of the bushes and tackled the girl to the ground: "You can't go now!"
"Why not!" Qing Teng said, her eyes red. "My people are fighting, I can't just stand by and cower! Let me go!"
With her Soul Condensation Realm strength, she could have easily pushed Shen Yunhao away.
But for some reason, now that I've been tackled, my whole body feels limp and I can't muster any strength...
"The battlefield above is what truly determines the course of the war. Going in now would be pointless except for killing your own people..."
Upon hearing this, Qing Teng was slightly taken aback.
"If you don't believe me, look! That traitor Bai Yang is hiding in the back; he didn't come forward at all!"
"..."
"As you said, the Valley Master is a great cultivator of the Spirit Void Realm. Even if he is injured, he still has the strength of the Void Soul Realm. If either of him or Poison Bone were to free up their hands, all of us below combined would be no match for them. Therefore, the outcome of the battle below is completely irrelevant!"
"..."
"Why don't you believe me? I really didn't lie to you!"
"Brother Yunhao..."
"hold head high?"
"You...you get up first..."
The little girl spoke softly, her face flushed, her eyes closed, and her head turned away.
Shen Yunhao blinked, only then realizing that he had been too excited and had pinned the young girl down for a long time!
Shen Yunhao jumped up with a "whoosh".
"Uh...uh...hahahaha...the weather is so nice today, and here...oh? What a big moon...hahaha..."
Qing Teng slowly sat up, curled up her legs and hugged them to her chest, looking somewhat aggrieved.
But she still glanced furtively at Shen Yunhao beside her, then immediately turned her head away, blushing as if startled. After a while, she turned back to look at him...
"So, I can only watch from here?"
"Ahem, theoretically speaking, they can fight over there without any problem, but you absolutely cannot go."
Without waiting for her to ask, Shen Yunhao explained directly, "Your sister sent you out of the valley, and Bai Yang's covetousness towards you just now shows that your existence is very important to Lingyou Valley!"
"If you go there now, you'll likely become the target of everyone's anger! Once you fall into Bai Yang's hands, all the hard work your master and senior sister have put in will be for nothing!"
After a long silence, Qing Teng finally pursed her lips and nodded obediently, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Shen Yunhao breathed a sigh of relief, but a few doubts arose in his heart.
"Could it be that I guessed wrong? Sister Li'er isn't here? Otherwise, with Sister Li'er's cultivation at the Void Soul Realm, she could completely sway the battle between high-level cultivators!"
It's not hard to guess Zhu Li's cultivation level. Only those who reach the Void Soul Realm can project their divine sense and explore external objects.
Before reaching the Void Soul Realm, cultivators only possess a certain degree of soul perception, and their insight capabilities are extremely limited.
"Alright, alright, we're already here. If we can persuade this girl not to go and get herself killed, then we've done what we can for Lingyou Valley. If things really turn bad later, we'll take this girl away as soon as possible."
However, just as Shen Yunhao was making these calculations, the little girl beside him suddenly exclaimed, "That's... Sister Zhuli! When did she arrive?"
"!"
Shen Yunhao's expression froze, and he immediately turned around to look.
Not far away, above the bamboo fortress, a woman had appeared out of nowhere!
The woman was dressed in white, her face veiled and concealed by a light gauze, but her long, snow-white hair revealed her identity to everyone.
The Seventh Princess of the North Sea, Zhuli!
"So... so Sister Zhuli had already arrived! No wonder the poison in the bodies of those people in the valley was neutralized; it must have been Sister Zhuli who helped them!"
"Sister Zhuli's cultivation is profound; she will surely help the valley overcome this calamity! Brother Yunhao! Don't you know Sister Zhuli? Should we go over there now...? Brother Yunhao?"
Only then did she notice Shen Yunhao standing there, staring intently at the white-clad woman above the bamboo fortress, a smile playing on his lips, his expression a mix of dazedness and relief.
"Sister Li'er... I'm so glad to see you again. You're alright..."
Qing Teng glanced at the stunning figure in the distance, then at Shen Yunhao, who looked like a lovesick fool nearby. Suddenly, she puffed out her cheeks and pouted.
For some reason, seeing Zhuli appear didn't make her happy at all. She turned around and sullenly jumped into the bushes...
...
On the other side, Teng Kui in the carriage was slightly taken aback when he saw the white-clad woman suddenly appear, but a moment later his face lit up with joy.
"Seventh Princess! I thought you were hiding somewhere else, but it turns out you were in this Spirit Valley too!"
Zhu Li stood in mid-air, looking at the Poison Prince in the sky, her expression indifferent: "So, your Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is not content with its current state and is going to stir up another bloodbath on this continent?"
"Hahahaha!" Teng Kui laughed wildly: "Bloodshed? When has it ever stopped?"
"..."
"My original intention was only to obtain this Azure Vein Crystal, but I never expected that an even better treasure would be delivered to my door! I really have to thank those idiots from the Blood Sect for allowing me to receive such a great gift!"
"A strong wind won't hurt your tongue!" Little Dragon Girl's face turned cold: "With me here today, your poison is completely useless. You dare to spout such nonsense with just a Poison Bone and these rotten fish and shrimp!"
"Is that so?" At this moment, Poison Bone, who was standing at the front, suddenly sneered, "In that case, let this old man experience the Seventh Princess's high skills!"
The old man responded to the call and transformed into a black vortex, crashing violently into the candle glass.
"snort!"
At this moment, Shu Wuxin, who had been silent on the bamboo fortress, finally made his move. A faint green light shone from his cane, as if a transparent green barrier had extended out, completely enveloping the area in front of the bamboo fortress.
"Withered vine!"
With a soft shout, countless withered yellow branches suddenly emerged from the ground beneath the bamboo fortress, coalescing in the air to form wooden dragons.
The same spell, when cast by the Valley Master of Lingyou Valley, was undoubtedly more powerful than Bai Yang's. Each of those withered branches and wooden dragons exuded an incomparably powerful aura. Some of them blocked the black vortex formed by the poisonous bones, while others were aimed directly at the Poison Prince in the carriage behind!
To catch the thief, first catch the king!
Zhuli was not idle either. A bright blue light shone from between her eyebrows, forming water ripples that spread throughout the area, combining with the emerald green barrier emitted by the old tree.
The basic effect of the Vast Ocean Heart is that all poison attacks within this barrier will be weakened by more than half!
Zhu Li wasn't exaggerating. With her around, the threat posed by the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect would be reduced by a whole level. They wouldn't be able to use their poison techniques effectively and would only be able to rely on their cultivation levels.
"Hehehe! It really is Han Haixin, you truly make me extremely happy!"
However, just as the water rippled and the wooden dragon danced, a woman's laughter came from the carriage where the Poison Prince was.
