After speaking, he stepped forward and placed the antidote in Jun Lintian's hand. Jun Lintian picked up the pill without hesitation and put it in his mouth without the slightest doubt. All eyes were on Jun Lintian, however—
puff---
Jun Lintian coughed up blood, and Liu Piaopiao sneered, immediately saying sarcastically, "Elder, I knew it..."
"Tell me your grandma's leg!"
Ji Jiuying could no longer tolerate Liu Piaopiao's behavior and immediately swore, leaving everyone stunned once again! Holy crap! The senior sister can actually swear.
Liu Piaopiao's face flushed red and then turned pale. "You! How can you speak so rudely!"
"I do what I want!" Ji Jiuying said with an attitude of "mind your own business." "Also, open your dog eyes and see what kind of blood Jun Lintian is spitting out!"
Only then did everyone realize that the blood on the ground was dark black and poisonous. Liu Piaopiao was even more surprised. She had been so eager to slap Ji Jiuying that she hadn't even noticed that Jun Lintian had vomited poisonous blood!
"Why aren't you saying anything? Or are you just hoping for Jun Lintian's demise?" Ji Jiuying questioned.
"Stop slandering me. I was just worried that the Second Prince would miss the best time for detoxification," Liu Piaopiao defended herself, feeling wronged.
It was that same innocent, naive act again. Ji Jiuying was speechless. Just as they were arguing, the Grand Elder and Jun Lintian came over. "Alright, the Second Prince's poison has been cured. Let's set off as soon as possible. We've already wasted quite a bit of time on the road."
The fog in the mountains had dissipated considerably, and the visibility was not as dense as before. The group quickened their pace and soon reached the summit before dark. Looking out, they saw an endless sea. There was not a single tree on the summit, and the wind was more than ten times stronger, almost making it impossible for them to stand.
Even worse, the wind carried the salty smell of the sea, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
"The wind is too strong, we need to get off the mountaintop as soon as possible!"
Feng Che took out a rope from his spatial storage and shouted, "Hold on tight to the rope!"
Before long, everyone's clothes were soaked through, and they couldn't help but shiver. There was nowhere to shelter from the fierce wind on the road, so they could only grit their teeth and persevere.
"Teacher Feng, I can't open my eyes at all!" Cheng Yue said.
"Me too."
"I can barely open my eyes a little!"
"······"
"Hang in there, everyone! I just discovered by the moonlight that there are trees halfway down the mountain!"
After an unknown amount of time, the group finally arrived in the woods. With these trees, the wind was indeed much calmer, and everyone quickly dried their clothes.
By this time, it was pitch black. Feng Che took out a luminous pearl the size of a soccer ball. "Looks like I'll have to spend the night here."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"This grove is close to the sea, and many sea creatures will climb up at night. We must rest in the trees," the elder said solemnly.
"Elder, that big tree over there is enough for us to hide from sea monsters." Yue Feiqun pointed to the towering tree not far away. Everyone looked over and saw the tree that would take five or six adults to hug.
"good!"
The group quickly arrived at the base of the large tree and flew up. Feng Che sprinkled some insect- and beast-repelling powder around the tree before climbing up.
The layers of leaves blocked ninety percent of the sea breeze, making it a truly wonderful place to rest.
However, the weather turned against them. The sky darkened, and thunder rumbled intermittently from the rolling, leaden-gray clouds. A fierce wind howled, sweeping up layers of dark clouds like a stampede of horses. A bolt of lightning pierced through the clouds and struck down, seemingly about to pierce everyone's eardrums.
The leaves rustled in the wind, swaying gently, while the roars of mythical beasts rose and fell, sending chills down one's spine and making every cell in one's body tense. At this moment, a light drizzle had begun to fall outside, but fortunately the tree was large enough and the leaves were dense enough that the rainwater could not be allowed to drift in.
"I just hope the rain doesn't get too heavy, or we'll all get soaked to the bone!" Wen Longting sighed.
As soon as Wen Longting finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps came from under the tree. Everyone immediately became alert. Coincidentally, the group of people had also set their sights on this tree.
"Senior brother, the big tree over there can keep us sheltered for the night."
"good."
The footsteps drew closer. "Who goes there!"
Those below spotted them and, unwilling to give up, asked, "What? Someone's in the tree?"
"You'd better find another place to rest. We've already taken this big tree! It's probably too small to accommodate all of you."
The elder spoke first, not because he was heartless, but because the larger branches were already mostly occupied by people sitting on them, and even if they came up, they probably wouldn't have a good spot to shelter from the wind and rain.
The people below exchanged glances. Although the surrounding trees could provide shelter from wild beasts at night, their foliage was not as dense as this tree's, offering no protection from wind and rain. Furthermore, they had just come down from the mountain and were exhausted, having no desire to find another large tree.
"Stop talking nonsense! If people from Tianmen Mountain want to go, who can stop them! Besides, if there aren't any seats available, you have to give them to us!" a girl said arrogantly.
The elder was taken aback by the rudeness of the other party, even after he had spoken so tactfully. His face darkened immediately.
Ji Jiuying's expression narrowed slightly. People from Tianmen Mountain? She chuckled lightly, "Hehehe, I wondered who was so arrogant. Turns out, it's just bandits from Tianmen Mountain~"
"How dare you insult our Tianmen Mountain!" a cold male voice said, then released his own pressure towards Ji Jiuying and the others.
However, before he could even feel smug for three seconds, an overwhelming pressure swept over them, causing them to feel terrified. The man who had spoken was struck back and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Your Excellency, I have been very offensive just now. Please... show mercy!" It felt as if a giant hand was pressing down on the man's back, carrying immense force, hovering over the shoulders of the group.
"Get out!" Feng Che's cold and ruthless voice rang out, and the people below couldn't help but shiver and quickly moved away from them.
Everyone looked at Feng Che with admiration. Teacher Feng is too strong! His strength is probably at least at the Spirit Saint level!
They didn't sleep all night. The rain stopped sometime later, and as dawn broke, the group continued their descent. Along the way, they encountered people heading to the East Sea.
Before the sun rose, the sea and sky blended seamlessly, with gentle ripples on the surface. As the first rays of dawn gradually appeared on the horizon, turning from gray to white, a vibrant red sun burst forth, slowly rising above the horizon, its dazzling light even illuminating the clouds on the horizon.
At this moment, Ji Jiuying and the others also arrived at the seaside. The Grand Elder went to contact a ship. The surrounding area was densely packed with people heading to the East Sea, among whom were many familiar faces.
