The pale moonlight shines on the dark ground, making the already desolate and lonely Beihuang look even more lonely and monotonous.
Two figures flashed across the air, like fireflies chasing each other and playing in the dark night.
The two fireflies were getting closer and closer, like two paintbrushes, drawing two minimalist lines on the black night.

As he spoke, Yuan Chaoxi pointed at the aperture of his left chest.
Gong Mi pulled out a long whip that was as black as ink and covered with scales, and said viciously:
"Hmph, it was this crooked way that allowed me to reach the pinnacle of the ultimate realm of strength, and it also allowed me to come back to life and escape the calamities of life and death again and again."
As she spoke, she shook her long whip and said with the pride of a winner:
"Stop talking nonsense, I will send Miss Yuan on her way now."
Before he finished speaking, the long whip rolled towards Yuan Chaoxi like a black python.
Yuan Chaoxi gently closed her eyes. At this time, she could no longer muster any mana, so she could only close her eyes and wait for death.
Suddenly, a long sword shot out quickly, blocking the long whip aside.
The long whip flew past Yuan Chaoxi's fair neck. Gong Mi turned around and looked back in surprise. He saw a young Taoist priest in his mid-twenties, with a face like a crown of jade, slender eyebrows and eyes, a tall figure, and a snow-clad dress.
The white clothes are fluttering in the wind, and the sleeves are fluttering. The whole person seems to be riding the wind to fly away, and there is an indescribable naturalness.
The young Taoist priest came from the air, and it was he who shot with his sword and blocked the fatal blow.

Yuan Chaoxi also noticed something strange, opened his eyes, and when he saw the face of the young Taoist priest clearly, he couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Xiao Yuan? How could it be you?"
Gong Mi on the side also noticed through the duel just now that the young Taoist priest named Xiao Yuan was quite powerful, at least reaching the late stage of the Ultimate Realm.
Although he is stronger than the opponent in terms of realm, he is seriously injured at this time and his demon power has been greatly depleted. He is no match for the opponent at all.
Moreover, this person must be followed by a patrol team from the Demon-Slaying Pass. Once you are entangled by him, it will be extremely difficult to escape.
Thinking of this, Gong Mi put away his long whip without hesitation, like a frightened rabbit, turned around and ran away towards the depths of the northern wilderness. Without any hesitation, everything went as smoothly as flowing water.
Xiao Yuan did not expect that this beast monster would escape so decisively and resolutely. Looking at Yuan Chaoxi, who had regained hope for surviving the disaster, he relaxed and collapsed on the ground.
He hesitated for a moment, but gave up chasing Gong Mi, walked to her side, and asked softly:
"Junior sister Yuan, are you okay?"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xiao, for saving my life. I'm not seriously injured, it's just that my mana is exhausted."

Yuan Chaoxi responded sincerely, and then said:
"Senior Brother Xiao, don't chase after the enemy. That witch is full of tricks. If you chase her alone, you may be in danger."
"Thank you for your concern, junior sister. Don't worry, I know what's in my heart. Protecting your safety is the most important thing. I will definitely stay by your side and never leave you until death."
Xiao Yuan spoke excitedly, and his originally fair face turned red with excitement.
Seeing that the other party's words were becoming more and more out of tune, Yuan Chaoxi hurriedly interrupted:
"Senior Brother Xiao, I'm serious. Let's rush back to the Demon Slaying Pass as soon as possible."
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he waved his hands indifferently, and said in an upright and cool manner:
"Don't worry, junior sister. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to hurt you in the slightest. Your senior brother and I are also a mage in the ultimate realm. I'm just a demon with low strength, so you can't do anything to me, so don't worry."
Yuan Chaoxi was about to say something else when he saw a group of people galloping towards him in the distance.
That was the patrol team of Demon Slaying Pass, consisting of a team of more than a dozen Great Shock Cavalry and two Taoist monks, one of whom was in the middle stage of Zhenzhen Realm and the other was in the middle stage of Gongqian Realm.
The two of them took the lead in coming to Xiao Yuan with their swords, and saluted respectfully:
"Senior Brother Xiao, the night patrol team is here to return us, please give us a clear explanation."
Xiao Zhan raised his chin slightly and said with a stern look:
"Very good, the enemy is a seriously injured beast monster. You should pursue that direction for thirty miles. If there is no result, just return."
"promise!"
The two Taoist monks bowed and accepted the order, then led the small team and galloped away again.
After the team walked away, Xiao Yuan put on a bright smile and asked with unusual concern:
"Junior sister Yuan, your magic power is exhausted, let your senior brother support you and fly with your sword. Senior brother's sword is big, wide, and very stable, so don't worry."
Hearing this, Yuan Chaoxi was dissatisfied with this move, but after all, the other party had just saved him, so he did not show it, but hurriedly declined:
"No need to bother Senior Brother Xiao. I have recovered some mana and can fly with my sword. Let's go back now."

With that said, regardless of Xiao Yuan's answer, he stood up with his sword and flew slowly towards the Demon Slaying Pass.
Xiao Yuan also looked helpless, sighed, and hurriedly chased after him.
The journey was uneventful, and the two returned to the Demon-Slaying Pass.
Although Yuan Chaoxi kept refusing, Xiao Yuan escorted her all the way back to his room on the grounds of being uneasy.
He originally planned to enter Yuan Chaoxi's room and sit there, but due to Yuan Chaoxi's firm refusal, Xiao Yuan could only take back his steps.
But he stood at the door and babbled all the words of concern before reluctantly walking away.
After closing the door, Yuan Zhaoxi hurriedly sat down in front of the desk, took out the fist-sized bead as red as blood, and called out softly:
