The sudden attack by the giant vine caught everyone off guard.
Especially Teng Kui, who was behind him, turned ashen with rage upon seeing this scene.
Regardless of the sect, Void Soul Realm experts are extremely important and scarce resources.
The Demonic Sect, in particular, was internally fragmented, and the death of Poison Bone was undoubtedly a major blow to its forces.
The one who reacted the fastest was naturally Du Yu, who had the highest cultivation level. The moment the vines pointed at the Poison Bone, she already knew that it would be impossible to obtain either the Heart of the Vast Ocean or the Azure Vein Crystal today.
The wisteria girl's strength was at least at the late stage of the Spirit Void Realm. Even if she and the demon king joined forces, they would not be a match for her!
Without hesitation, she engaged the approaching Wild Tiger King head-on, using the recoil to propel herself away and escape their battle.
Just as Poison Bone was crushed alive by Green Vine, she had already returned to the rear, and with a wave of her hand, she disappeared with the carriage carrying Teng Kui!
Next were Wild Tiger King and Mu Shuangshuang. After seeing Poison Bone die, Wild Tiger King immediately took Mu Shuangshuang and shot out of the valley.
As for the green vines, after killing the poisonous bone, they became somewhat stiff and stopped in place.
This brief moment of stiffness gave the Demon Sect members time to escape. The Spirit Void Realm cultivators were extremely fast, and it was unlikely that they could catch up with these vines alone.
However, when the people in the valley saw this scene, they did not breathe a sigh of relief; instead, their hearts were in their throats.
Is that devil... coming back again?
Only Green Bamboo looked at the vines that had turned green again with a doubtful expression.
The menacing aura emanating from these vines is clearly much weaker than before!
Just as everyone in Lingyou Valley was filled with anxiety, the vines that grew from the Ten Thousand Vine Cave slowly receded like a tide at a steady pace.
Then, right where Mo Yan had just burrowed back into the ground, the soil loosened, and two heads suddenly emerged like bamboo shoots.
"Oh my god, I can finally breathe some fresh air!"
This was Shen Yunhao's voice. At this moment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had survived a disaster!
"Green Vine!"
On the bamboo fortress, Green Bamboo saw the little head popping out and its face lit up with joy.
Although he looked exactly like the purple-clad demon from before, years of getting to know him made her recognize him at a glance; the person in front of her was clearly the real Qing Teng!
"Senior Sister Green Bamboo! Everyone!"
Qing Teng looked up at everyone, her tender little face full of joy. She popped out of the ground with a "whoosh" and waved to everyone on the bamboo fortress.
"Qing Teng! It really is you!"
After receiving the reply, Green Bamboo could not hide her excitement. She leaped down from the bamboo fortress, ran to Green Vine, and hugged the girl tightly, her eyes reddening.
"Qing Teng! I'm so glad you're alright!"
"Senior sister..."
Having experienced a real life-or-death ordeal, the two teenage girls were inevitably emotional, and after hugging each other, they burst into tears!
The tribespeople above watched this scene with joy on their faces, the heavy weight that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted.
Qing Teng is back... Does that mean that the devil is gone...?
However, among the crowd, there was a figure in white, her delicate body trembling slightly, her gaze fixed on another head behind Qing Teng, unwilling to look away for even a moment.
It seemed like they were confirming it over and over again.
Her beloved little brother is still alive...
After a while, Zhu Li disregarded her image and sat heavily on the ground, her head hanging down, her eyes filled with tears that formed a wisp of white mist.
"You're alright...that's so good...so good..."
"Hey! Are you kidding me? The enemy has been driven away, why are you crying? Pull me up first!"
Shen Yunhao's dissatisfied voice rang out, and only then did everyone notice that there was another head stuck on the ground. Without Qing Teng's cultivation, it seemed that it was unable to climb out.
"Brother Yunhao!"
Qing Teng blushed and quickly ran out of Green Bamboo's embrace, then ran forward and gently pressed down on the ground.
Huge vines pushed open the ground, shoving Shen Yunhao out from below.
"Phew—I'm alive again!"
Shen Yunhao patted the dust off his clothes and let out a long breath.
"And this is...?"
Green Bamboo asked in confusion.
"He is Brother Yunhao!" With childlike pride, Qing Teng said, "If it weren't for Brother Yunhao's help, our Lingyou Valley would not have been able to survive this calamity!"
Upon hearing this, Green Bamboo and everyone in the valley were startled and cast curious glances at the little boy whose cultivation was only at the Bronze Skin Realm.
Only the candle above, smiling, watched its little brother become the center of attention, its pride impossible to hide.
"You're something else, you brat..."
Is the process important?
My own little brother, just praise him!
Being watched by so many people for the first time, Shen Yunhao blushed slightly, scratched his head and chuckled, "No, no... it was all luck. Actually, it's all thanks to Miss Qing Teng!"
He's actually right.
From the time he was taken to the Azure Vein Secret Realm to his later efforts to help the Azure Vine endure pain and search for its memories, everything was done out of necessity and under duress.
To say that he saved Lingyou Valley would be a bit of an exaggeration.
The person above stood up, covered their mouth, and smiled softly.
"My silly little brother is still so easily praised. Alright, it's time to give him some rewards..."
As she said this, Zhuli stepped forward, about to jump down and reveal her identity to him, but upon seeing what happened next, the foot she had just lifted froze in mid-air.
On the other side, Qing Teng, looking terrified, threw herself into Shen Yunhao's arms, hugging him tightly with both hands, rubbing her soft face against his chest.
"If it weren't for Brother Yunhao helping Qing Teng suppress Mo Yan's will, Qing Teng would have become a sinner of Lingyou Valley long ago! Just thinking about how her master and senior sister would die at her hands, Qing Teng doesn't know how she would go on living..."
Shen Yunhao assumed she was genuinely scared, so he patted the girl's delicate back and gently comforted her, "It's alright, it's all over now... Qing Teng is the best!"
Candlelight: "￣︿￣"
The girl tucked her hands behind her back and stared at it for a while, then suddenly let out a soft snort, her lips pouting slightly, her expression a little aggrieved: "Hmph! You brat! I'm not letting you watch anymore!"
Then he turned around, walked to a corner, sat down, and inexplicably began to feel sullen.
Little did they know, the girl in Shen Yunhao's arms, upon seeing this scene, had a faint smile curving her "sad" lips.
"What's so great about a little broken dragon? It can't compare to the Green Vine..."
The girl's originally bluish-green pupils had somehow taken on a tinge of purple.
