Chapter 101 Travels (5)
Across from the cave entrance lies an endless abyss.
Black mist kept pouring in, relentlessly corroding everything around them. Luo Zai Shui pulled Ji Ting Han back to safety, constantly pondering a solution.
"Senior sister..."
Ji Tinghan lowered his voice, and Luo Zai Shui put her index finger to her lips, signaling him not to speak.
The two concealment talismans temporarily ensured their safety.
After confirming there was no danger, Luo Zai Shui tentatively took a step forward.
"We can't alert the demons right now. It's just the two of us, so it's going to be difficult."
Luo Zai Shui tentatively touched the barrier. The once indestructible barrier was now teetering on the brink of collapse. If it was delayed any longer, the entire demon race might launch an attack. She could sense that the old thing inside was slowly awakening.
"I'll distract them."
Ji Tinghan was eager to try; with his speed, shaking off the demons would be no problem at all.
“No, we’ve lost our way here, and we don’t know how many demons can send. Besides, if you get entangled, you’ll have a hard time escaping. It would be better if the Linghai Sect members were here, but now it’s just the two of us.”
Luo Zai Shui didn't have a better solution at the moment. If the people from Linghai Sect were here, they could easily seal the cave entrance together. However, they had all lost their way and their fates were unknown, making the situation truly difficult.
"What should we do then? Shall we go back first?"
Ji Tinghan had no other ideas; even going back was difficult now.
"No, let's use our swords to explore other areas that might be missed. These low-level demons can't fly, so let's fly higher and avoid alerting them."
Luo Zai Shui pondered for a moment: "Right now, the demons are pressing in on our borders, so their side must be vulnerable. We can take this opportunity to fill the gaps in other areas. The demons will naturally recall the demons that are pressing in, but by the time that group of demons arrives, we will have already completed our mission."
"it is good."
……
Xie Jing arrived just as the demons were pressing in, but fortunately, many members of aristocratic families came and held out until reinforcements arrived.
"It's Immortal Master Xie! That's wonderful! We're saved!"
"Thank you, Uncle-Master!"
"The Sect Master of Linghai Sect has arrived too!"
"metropolitan!"
"Master!"
"What's the situation now?" Xie Jing landed in front of Nie Xushuang and began searching for Luo Zaishui. "Where are Zaishui and the others?"
Nie Xushuang carefully considered her words: "She has led people to the barrier to investigate the situation. I hope that you, Martial Uncle, will go and provide support."
Just as Luo Zai Shui had predicted, the approaching demons suddenly received orders to retreat and head in one direction.
Xie Jing, unfazed by the bizarre scene, asked, "Was this also part of her plan?"
Nie Xushuang nodded: "Her original plan was to slow down the pace of the demons' attack, and it seems that she has succeeded. But we don't know if they need support."
"Alright, I understand. The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the others will be here soon. I'll leave this place to you for now."
After saying that, Xie Jing threw out a stack of tracking talismans to find Luo Zai Shui, while also carrying a Linghai Sect Master in his hand.
"I say, Immortal Master Xie, can we make a deal? Could you put me down first..."
The Linghai Sect Master was dragged along the way. Xie Jing's speed and movements were so fast and exaggerated that his old bones couldn't take it anymore.
Xie Jing sneered: "Let me ask you, the Linghai Sect has always been in charge of the border's grand formation. Now that this has happened, don't you have anything to say?"
Knowing he was in the wrong, the sect leader of Linghai Sect pretended to be a quail and remained silent.
Xie Jing shook him off: "I went to the mortal realm and you've caused such a huge mess? Don't you know the consequences of the demons breaking the formation?"
The sect leader of Linghai Sect wanted to argue further: "Isn't it all because of the Wen family...?"
"Hmph, don't you dare mention the Wen family or the Chu family to me." Xie Jingyu's sword speed increased even more. "If this matter is attributed to your Linghai Sect, your Linghai Sect will never be able to recover in this lifetime."
Xie Jing was somewhat exasperated: "Your Linghai Sect Master is afraid of death, but don't drag your descendants down with you. Now that your good disciple has gone to the Wen family, what are you going to do? Are you going to rush to lick the Wen family's boots again?"
The sect leader of Linghai Sect fell completely silent.
Xie Jing was somewhat helpless: "How come your fierce disciple has a master like you? No wonder he doesn't want to see you."
Thinking of Chu Yeli, whom he hadn't even met at the Wen family, the Linghai Sect Master's lips moved: "I was confused about this matter. I'll go with you to repair the formation, which will be my way of making amends."
The sect leader of Linghai Sect was somewhat distressed. His disciple was good in every way, but he was unlucky to have such an incompetent master as him. He had been implicated by his master time and time again. If he had taken Xie Jing as his master, he would probably be living a much more carefree life than he is now.
Unfortunately, Xie Jing was unwilling to take on any disciples back then, and he was also arrogant and believed that he could achieve great things and that the disciples he trained should be among the best in the world.
Now, Chu Yeli can be considered a rare genius in both array formation and talisman-making, while he is just an incompetent sect leader. In fact, he owes Chu Yeli a great deal.
Taking advantage of the demons' laxity, Luo Zai Shui, who had just finished repairing the formation, was leading Ji Ting Han to escape. Looking at the swarm of demons below, both of them were sweating profusely.
Fortunately, the loophole has been patched, and no new demons will emerge. As long as they shake off this group of demons, they will be safe.
"In the water! In the water!"
A hurried voice distracted Luo Zai Shui. The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but Luo Zai Shui couldn't quite place it.
"It's me! It's me! Stop flying! I've found my sword sheath!"
"Changhong?"
The rainbow appeared in response, spun in the air, and was about to plunge into the demonic tide when Luo Zai Shui caught it with lightning speed.
"Senior sister..."
Ji Tinghan recognized Chang Hong; she was the one her senior sister had brought out from the treasure pavilion. For some reason, she had suddenly gone mad today.
Luo Zai Shui almost lost his grip on it: "Don't be silly, those below are all demons."
"Senior sister, what's wrong?"
Ji Tinghan also realized that something was wrong and remained vigilant about the demons below.
Luo Zai Shui didn't hide anything: "Chang Hong sensed its scabbard. In the current situation, going down would be suicide."
"Senior sister, let go!"
Seeing that Luo Zai Shui was about to be taken away, Ji Ting Han quickly grabbed her.
The unbridled Long Rainbow Sword rampaged through the demonic tide, instantly tearing a gap in the swarming demon race.
Ji Tinghan pulled back his jaw, which had dropped in astonishment: "I've never seen Changhong unleash such power before."
Since the Long Rainbow Sword recognized Luo Zai Shui as its master, Luo Zai Shui naturally couldn't leave it unattended: "Follow it and take a look."
Following the sword energy left by the Rainbow Sword, the journey was mostly unobstructed. However, it was a challenge for Luo Zai Shui, as the Rainbow Sword consumed her spiritual power. If she hadn't entered the Nascent Soul stage and had abundant spiritual power, she would have been killed by this sword.
"Senior sister, look!"
What they saw was an indescribable shock.
The Long Rainbow Sword led them through the black mist to an unknown place. Beneath their feet lay what appeared to be a giant pit, or perhaps an ancient battlefield, with various weapons scattered haphazardly across it.
