rupture
Nan Yi tilted her head, ignoring him, and just stood there waiting for her senior sister.
Don't think he didn't know; this time it must have been that little blue phoenix doing it on purpose again, deliberately choosing to urge his senior sister to go out when he was in the Domain Pavilion. If he hadn't overheard the disciple guarding the teleportation array mention it, he wouldn't have known they were going to leave today.
Moreover, this trip is estimated to last for many days, and Xiao Qingluan will definitely be thinking of monopolizing her senior sister again, while he will not be able to see her for a long time.
However, he had truly wronged Wen Xiangluan this time. He had only learned about the whole trip yesterday. Wen Xiangluan was indeed secretly delighted, thinking that she could finally get rid of that clingy fox who loved to be with her senior sister.
Unexpectedly, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, the two still had to travel together.
"Senior Sister," the disciple guarding the teleportation array nodded to Chu Li as she approached, "Are you all here?"
“Not bad,” Chu Li took out a bag of spirit stones and threw it to his disciple, “Take us directly to Yan Gui City.”
Although the teleportation array can be used by any disciple, each disciple must hand over spirit stones before using it.
The disciple guarding the teleportation array weighed the spirit stone bag in his hand before casting a few hand seals towards the teleportation array.
The teleportation array flashed, and the three people standing on it vanished instantly.
When Chu Li opened her eyes again, the three of them had already arrived in Yan Gui City.
Yan Gui City is a large city, so when they came down from the teleportation array, there were still people coming out of other teleportation arrays around them.
Looking at the lively scene, Wen Xiangluan clicked her tongue in amazement: "There are just too many people."
Chu Li quickly glanced around. She sensed something was amiss. Even though Yan Gui City was large and had many people coming and going, it was nowhere near as crowded as it was now—a constant stream of people emerging from the teleportation array.
Only after the three of them left the area did they truly feel the sheer number of people.
The streets were crowded with people, and at a glance, most of them were cultivators.
"Hey, did you hear? The Time-Space Beast is at Moon Goddess Lake!"
"I came here after hearing this news. Could it be that you came as well?"
The name of the Time-Space Beast was mentioned repeatedly among the crowd. At this moment, Chu Li finally understood that many people knew that there was a Time-Space Beast here and came to see it.
As for why there were so many people this time, Chu Li had some idea in mind. Moon God Lake was very close to Yan Gui City, and there were many teleportation arrays in Yan Gui City, making it very convenient to come and go.
"Senior sister, are we going to see the Time-Space Beast this time?" Nan Yi, unusually, showed some interest.
Chu Li: "You didn't even know what we were doing when we went out, and you just followed us?"
Nan Yi: ...
He hadn't paid any attention to what the other person was saying after he heard them say they were going out—
As long as I follow my senior sister, I can do anything.
Chu Li flung out the Green Lotus—she channeled her spiritual energy into it, but felt the lotus gently bounce away, repelling all the spiritual energy she had sent.
Chu Li paused. Was Qinglian throwing a tantrum?
To be honest, it seems that every time we need to use it for transportation, it's unwilling to expand further; it can only accommodate a maximum of two people on its surface...
While Chu Li was still pondering Qinglian's unusual behavior, Nan Yi's eyes darted around, and he swiftly jumped onto Qinglian, reserving a spot for himself.
Wen Xiangluan, standing to the side, felt that the fox was far too impolite. His senior sister hadn't even invited them up yet, and he had already gone up by himself.
But soon, he heard his senior sister's calm voice in his ear: "Right now, there can only be two positions for Qinglian."
There simply isn't a third spot available.
Wen Xiangluan was stunned. Did that mean he had been left behind?
He suddenly understood the intention behind Nan Yi's actions.
“It’s alright, Senior Sister. Little Qingluan has wings and can fly on her own,” Nan Yi said, looking at Wen Xiangluan. “Right, Little Qingluan?”
Nan Yi's gloating was blatantly obvious, and Wen Xiangluan almost gritted his teeth to death. But he still remembered that this was in front of his senior sister, so he nodded with difficulty and replied, "That's right, senior sister, I can go by myself."
Chu Li thought about it briefly and felt that this was indeed a good method. She only instructed Wen Xiangluan, "Then you must stay close to Qinglian, as the screening array may appear at any time."
Wen Xiangluan nodded solemnly. Her senior sister had mentioned before that the magic array was invisible, which was the most crucial element for this trip.
As for the Time-Space Beasts, as long as you have no intention of killing them, they will not necessarily try to kill you.
Moon Goddess Lake is indeed not far from Yan Gui City. After about a quarter of an hour, the clear lake water can be seen in the distance.
Chu Li suddenly stopped and looked back. She felt that something was not right about her surroundings. Perhaps it was because she was very sensitive to special spaces. When she looked around, she did see some problems.
"Where is Little Blue Phoenix?"
Nan Yi also looked at the empty road behind him with some surprise. He didn't think Qing Luan couldn't keep up with Chu Li's speed.
Chu Li let out a soft breath: "The formation has appeared."
As they walked, fewer and fewer people appeared, and by the time she realized what was happening, they were the only two people left around them.
There was no other way. Since they had already come to this point, they could only continue forward and see if they could find the Time-Space Beast.
At some point, a thin white mist slowly enveloped Moon Goddess Lake, gradually obscuring their view.
Everything before my eyes turned white, completely obscuring the surrounding scenery.
Upon seeing this, Chu Li's expression changed slightly. It seemed they didn't need to go any further; the Time-Space Beast had arrived.
A section of "twig" shimmering with a faint light came into their view, followed by its body and tail, all exposed to their sight.
That was a deer.
Nan Yi had never seen a Time-Space Beast before, and was momentarily stunned. There were many rumors about Time-Space Beasts, but almost no one had mentioned what they looked like.
"A time-space beast, it's actually a deer?"
"You could say that, but to be more accurate, it's just a deer-like creature. They look similar to deer, but in reality, their attack methods and behavior are completely different from deer."
The time-space beast tilted its head, seemingly puzzled as to why the other party was so far away. As a very active beast, it loved to come out and play, but every time it saw people, they would instinctively want to pounce on it, which was extremely boring.
Chu Li only saw the light on the Time-Space Beast suddenly begin to flow, and then quickly transform into a stream of light that rushed towards her.
Before her consciousness faded, she only heard her junior brother's somewhat panicked voice.
She originally wanted to comfort her junior brother, saying that this was not a bad thing, but rather an opportunity, as not everyone could get close to the light on the Time-Space Beast.
Before she could even utter a word, her thoughts were already lost in the thought.
Nan Yi suddenly looked up, about to unleash his flames, but in the next instant, everything in front of him vanished in the blink of an eye. The white mist was gone, the time-space beast was gone, and even his senior sister... had disappeared.
His heart skipped a beat. Where was his senior sister?
The fox lost its footing and crashed to the ground.
He immediately got up without hesitation, preparing to go deeper into the area. No matter what, he was determined to bring his senior sister out.
"Hey, where do you think you're going?"
A hand suddenly reached out and blocked his way. Nan Yi frowned and, without thinking, immediately released his foxfire.
Then he heard a familiar cry of pain from beside him.
"Hey, why did you suddenly set it on fire? It's no use trying to get back in now, you can't find the entrance at all."
"But my senior sister is still inside!"
Wen Xiangluan was taken aback, then patted Nan Yi on the shoulder: "Don't worry, this is Senior Sister's opportunity. If you go in, you will only disturb her."
Unlike Nan Yi's lack of understanding, Wen Xiangluan did a lot of research on related information later. If you happen to be able to meet the appetite of the Time-Space Beasts, you can not only see them, but also be guided by them.
Wen Xiangluan thought that this was probably why his senior sister had brought him here.
It was a pity that he had just entered the mist and only caught a glimpse of two antlers before being sent out extremely quickly. Just as he was being sent out, he seemed to hear the time-space beast let out a long sigh of relief.
After Wen Xiangluan explained the situation to Nan Yi, Nan Yi reluctantly believed her. Of course, he mainly believed in his senior sister's strength, and he also didn't want to ruin her opportunity.
However, Chu Li, who was enveloped by the elements overflowing from the Time-Space Beast, was not so comfortable.
Her brows were furrowed, and cold sweat trickled down her face, as if she were trapped in a nightmare.
When Chu Li lost consciousness, she sensed something was wrong. What appeared before her was not a common space beast, but a time beast!
Fortunately, the other party understood the proper use of time and did not rashly turn her back into a child. Instead, she allowed her thoughts to immerse themselves in the long river of time.
Chu Li observed her life as if she were an outsider, but what puzzled her was that many of her memories were very blurry, and no matter how hard she tried to recall them, she couldn't remember the details.
But time for contemplation was precious, so Chu Li quickly put aside his doubts and focused on sensing the passage of time, its speed...
At some point, after an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard a very clear "click" sound, and she was jolted awake. When she opened her eyes again, the Time Beast was nowhere to be found, and only a faint mist remained in the air.
She subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound had just come from, which was the "stone" hanging on her chest, the one she hadn't known what it was for before!
The black surface of the "stone" was peeled away layer by layer, and the originally dull stone instantly shone with endless brilliance!
Her heart skipped a beat, and she instantly realized what was happening. She immediately reached out and grasped his hand, barely managing to conceal his breath.
The mist completely dissipated, and someone was running towards her from afar.
Chu Li made a decision immediately, and summoned the Azure Lotus. Seeing this, Nan Yi immediately jumped into the Azure Lotus.
The three of them rushed to the teleportation array at lightning speed and were immediately teleported back to the sect.
"Senior sister, why did we rush back so quickly?" Wen Xiangluan asked as soon as she arrived at the sect.
Although Nan Yi was also somewhat curious, he never asked about things that were clearly special.
Once Chu Li was finally back in the sect, her previously rapid heartbeat gradually calmed down.
"We'll talk about this later. You all go back first. I have something to do at the Wuxiang Palace."
That thing is probably a Saint-level treasure.
