Yan Jue snapped his folding fan shut, casually tapped his forehead, and a faint, playful smile played on his lips as he teased, "Shui Shui, are you suggesting the little girl go find that guy? Don't forget, he's notoriously cunning and treacherous in the Fairy Realm, like an old fox lurking in the night."
He's always been cunning and manipulative. Whether he'll actually help us this time is another matter entirely; it'll probably be quite a hassle." As he finished speaking, his eyes flashed, and he clearly thought of Huo Liaoye, who was imprisoned in the shadows like a trapped beast.
Upon hearing this, Wang Mo felt a tangled mess of emotions, hesitant and uneasy. His feet unconsciously turned, wanting to discuss a solution with Shu Yan and Si Si, like a drowning person grasping at a straw. Yan Jue glanced around, tucked his fan into his waistband, cupped his hands, and smiled, "Shui Shui, I still need to go find Fatty Little Poison to settle some old scores. I'll be going now. Take care." With that, he vanished like a ghost into the still-open Lingxi Gate, disappearing in an instant.
Meanwhile, Qi Na, cloaked in invisibility, appeared as a mysterious assassin blending into the night. She led Fei Ling on a whirlwind journey, finally arriving at Qingxi Gorge, a place that seemed to have been trampled by an ice demon and was now in ruins.
The reason they were late was that Fei Ling's soul fragment had gone through many twists and turns, like a lone boat adrift in a stormy sea. It was only before the departure that the system successfully copied and perfected it. After careful consideration, Qi Na even had Fei Ling replace the soul fragment containing the vast power of Huang Shi to ensure that nothing went wrong. It was precisely because of this meticulous operation and many troubles that the journey was delayed.
Upon seeing Fairy Xinling, encased in translucent ice and resembling a sleeping ice beauty, Feiling's eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up. She spread her wings, ready to rush over and check on her, for Fairy Xinling was the benefactor who had given her life; their bond was like that of a mother and daughter. Qi Na, quick as a flash, grabbed her, whispering in her ear a warning, her voice soft yet stern: "Feiling, don't forget our mission today. Don't act rashly. Fairy Xinling is currently encased in ice, which isn't a major problem. Wang Mo and the others will have a solution. We should focus on completing our own tasks first."
Although Fei Ling was still a little worried after hearing this, she still obeyed her master's orders.
Fearing that revealing themselves abruptly would attract attention and make explanation difficult, Qi Na acted decisively. Standing by the roadside, she waved her hands, chanted incantations, and cast a spell. The transparent "Flight" sign instantly shone brightly, like twinkling stars, lifting the two of them into the air like two streaks of light piercing the sky, heading straight for Qingxi Gorge. Upon reaching them, they saw that Yan Jue had already left, and the Lingxi Gate was still open, like a "window of escape" quietly opened by fate. Qi Na was overjoyed, hugged Fei Ling tightly, and tiptoed inside. Miraculously, the Water Prince and the Ye Luoli warriors not far away were completely unaware, as if separated by an invisible barrier.
After being persuaded by Shu Yan, Chen Sisi, and Jian Peng with reason and emotion, Wang Mo weighed the pros and cons and, looking at the earnest and worried eyes of his companions, finally gritted his teeth, made up his mind, reached out and grasped the hand offered by the Water Prince, and decided to follow him into the fairyland to find a way to save Fairy Xinling, even if the road ahead seemed to be shrouded in mist and full of thorns.
Qi Na stepped out of the Spirit Gate with a mix of anticipation and trepidation, before she could even see where she was.
Suddenly, countless sharp, lightning-fast attacks, seemingly carrying the aura of death, rained down on her from all directions, relentlessly and without any way to avoid them.
