The hand of a man with a blood-stained Taoist robe could not help but tremble when holding the sword, and the spiritual sword was shaking in his hand.
His eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and the cyan hairband on his head had long disappeared. Without the restraint of the hairband, his black hair spread out in the air.
Ji Yunxian's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and beads of sweat flowed down his determined cheeks, flowed over the high bridge of his nose, gathered at the tip of his nose, and dripped.
"Crack-"
Drops of sweat fell into the soil, and Ji Yunxian's eyesight dimmed. His tense consciousness suddenly relaxed, and his whole body fell forward uncontrollably.
"Yun Xian——"
Xiao Zheng just arrived with Li Ying and saw Ji Yunxian's fallen figure, and subconsciously wanted to go forward and catch him.
But as soon as he reached the edge of the Fengqi Tower, he was stopped by a barrier, blocking his steps forward.
Xiao Zheng watched Ji Yunxian lying on the wind platform, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, while the sword energy and strong wind on the platform were still beating his fallen body. He was so anxious that he hit the barrier over and over again, but it still didn't move at all.
[Host, why don’t you go and help?] 79588 asked strangely when he saw Li Ying standing aside leisurely watching the show without any sign of coming to help.
Li Ying looked at the barrier, and her mind quickly flashed through the "One Hundred and Ninety-nine Basic Formations that Monks Must Learn" that she had bought in the ghost market. She said casually in her mind: "I didn't see Xiao Zheng's golden elixir again." No matter how much you chop or chop, you can't shake this barrier. What's the point of me, a person with a lower cultivation level than him, trying to support him?'
[…] So should it praise this human being for being self-aware at this moment?!
[Ji Yunxian's bones will be destroyed if you don't do it.] Humph, don't think that he didn't see the array of formations flashing through her mind, this tough-talking woman.
Li Ying, who had actually simulated a similar formation cracking method in the sea of consciousness, said: 'Wait a moment, I haven't found it yet.'
[...Host, do you know that in your other world, this kind of behavior is called 'looking bad on the surface, but actually inwardly involved'. 】
'oh.'
After finishing the formation, Li Ying smiled nonchalantly, took out the whip from his storage bag, and tentatively whipped all sides of the barrier.
Li Ying recited "The Hidden Breath of All Souls" in her mind, amplifying her five senses to the limit.
The diligent practice in recent days has taken effect at this time. Li Ying keenly noticed a small, slightly fluorescent crack on the top of the barrier. She immediately put back her whip and jumped up, pulling out the short knife from her waist with one hand and holding her spirit. He stabbed hard at the crack.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and the barrier shattered, sending out huge fluctuations in spiritual energy, which shook both Li Ying and Xiao Zheng out.
"Cough puff——"
Li Ying spat out a mouthful of old blood, coughing so hard that her right lung was about to be torn into four pieces.
She slowly stood up and turned to look at Xiao Zheng, who had been stunned and still looking cold and handsome. She hesitated for a moment, and finally suppressed the urge to wake him up. She raised her hand and waved her whip, first killing Ji who was on the stage and who was still alive and dead. Yun Xian rolled over.
The moment the whip was wrapped around Ji Yunxian's waist, his crow-feathered eyelashes trembled slightly, and his fingers slowly reached to his waist and held the tail of the whip.
Li Ying rolled Ji Yunxian over and threw him next to Xiao Zheng. When he was about to withdraw his whip, he couldn't do it no matter how hard he tried.
"Please... take... me..."
"What to bring you?"
Ji Yunxian managed to open the corner of his eyes, and his voice was as weak as a cat's meow, so weak that he almost became silent: "Take...me..."
"What should I bring you?" Li Ying still insisted.
"……Walk……"
A single word conveyed Ji Yunxian's endless courage and pleading. The last string in his mind completely broke, and his consciousness fell into chaos.
"..." Li Ying watched the unconscious Ji Yunxian fall asleep without forgetting to hold her whip tightly in her hand, and stretched out her foot to kick him away.
[Ding—Trigger the side plot, ask the host to help Ji Yunxian leave Guiyi Sect. Complete the task and pay off the debt "The Hidden Breath of All Souls" 1/3.]
With a muffled sound of "Uh-huh," Ji Yunxian, who was still sleeping, was kicked out by Li Ying.
[…Host, didn’t you hear the mission prompt?] 79588 is so angry that I have a headache. This is a first-class mission that is rare to find!
'I heard that.' Li Ying withdrew the whip, then brought it back to the end of the whip, and specially used the water purification technique to swipe the end of the whip back and forth three times.
[...] 79588 never imagined that this human being with weak abilities would be quite weird. After scanning the energy fluctuations coming from not far away, Li Ying still wiped the tail of her whip unhurriedly, and the head was a big one.
[Host, 79588 has detected violent energy fluctuations coming from the north, please host to take Ji Yunxian away as soon as possible. 】
'oh.'
【79588 has planned the best escape route for you, this is the road sign map.】
Li Ying's sea of consciousness swept over the map and glanced at Xiao Zheng: 'What should he do?'
[Host, don’t worry, the visitor has no ill intentions towards Xiao Zheng. 】
Li Ying nodded, used her spiritual power to lift Ji Yunxian up, and attached two running talismans to him and herself respectively, running her spiritual power under her feet to follow the map in her mind.
79588 also tried its best to cover up the traces of the scene. It tried its best to fake the scene as a trace of Xiao Zheng forcibly breaking the barrier. At the same time, it tampered with some of Xiao Zheng's memories about Li Ying stabbing the barrier.
Li Ying saw a series of actions of 79588 and was a little amused: 'I didn't expect you to be quite thoughtful about a mechanical system.'
79588 said arrogantly, "Humph!", his tone was quite proud.
The cat-eyed boy smiled, with sharp fangs showing at the corners of his lips. His eyes were full of joy, and his whole person was full of youthful spirit.
79588 looked at Li Ying who smiled with tiger fangs and nodded with satisfaction. It is indeed the shell it chose to transform into, it is so pleasing to the eye!
…
That night, Gu Xiaonian rushed to Qifengtai and saw Xiao Zheng lying on the ground in a mess, his cold and beautiful face stained with dust, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.
He used his spiritual power to lift Xiao Zheng up, his consciousness quickly patrolled the surroundings, and he formed seals with both hands to summon the retroactive mirror spirit.
Gu Xiaonian looked at the retrospective mirror spirit in front of him. His peach blossom eyes had lost their usual warmth and were full of condensation: "Guiyi Zongluo Qingfeng Qifengtai, I want to know what happened today."
Jing Ling trembled in fear and quickly reviewed the major and minor matters on Fengqi Platform today.
When Gu Xiaonian saw Xiao Zheng forcefully breaking the barrier, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. When he saw Ji Yunxian taking advantage of the chaos to escape, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Lord?" Jing Ling spoke cautiously, her small and illusory body helpless to bear the wisps of overwhelming pressure that came out of Gu Xiaonian's suppression.
"I give you a limited time today to locate Ji Yunxian's specific location. You can't do it..." The corners of Gu Xiaonian's mouth raised gently, but the words he spat out were full of bloodthirsty: "Go back to your underworld." Ruins!" After saying that, he took the unconscious Xiao Zheng into his arms and flew towards Yunya Pavilion.
Countless dark and bloodthirsty memories instantly swept through the mind of the retrospecting mirror spirit. Its body shook uncontrollably, and the overwhelming fear almost engulfed it. This chapter has been completed!
