Mu Zhongxi asked curiously through the transmission jade slip, “Fourth Senior Brother, who is that next to you?”
Luo Qingyu controlled the Somersault Cloud while replying calmly, “My bro—”
Before she could finish, the screen suddenly went black, and the communication signal was cut off.
Ming Xuan hurriedly tapped the jade slip repeatedly and said anxiously, “Oh no, Fourth Junior Brother's side is blocked by a spiritual energy barrier. The message can't get through, and we can't reconnect either.”
Beside him, Ye Qinghan suddenly gripped the sword at his waist. The aura around him instantly turned cold, and a wave of bitterness washed over his heart as he felt a secret pang of sorrow: Does he not want me anymore?
Seeing this, Zhu You quickly comforted him softly, “Senior Brother, don't overthink things. Maybe that person is just an ordinary person Senior Brother Luo rescued along the way.”
Ye Qinghan nodded gently after hearing this.
Beside them, Song Hansheng sneered impatiently, “Are we going or not? If you keep dawdling, I'll leave by myself.”
Ye Qinghan had no choice but to temporarily suppress his chaotic thoughts and catch up to Song Hansheng to leave together.
Zhou Xingyun, standing to the side, fell silent for a moment before turning to instruct, “Send a transmission to Master now. Fourth Junior Brother is in danger.”
Ming Xuan quickly replied, “Alright, Senior Brother. I'll send a message to Master right away.”
...
“Aaaah! Is there no end to this? Why are these people like plaster? I can't shake them off at all.” Luo Qingyu was feeling rather irritated at this moment.
Luo Qingyuh felt a bit guilty. “Sister, did I bring you trouble?”
Luo Qingyu turned her head to smile at him and comforted him softly, “No, don't overthink it. Even if we can't beat them, running away is never an issue.”
At this moment, 007's anxious voice rang in Luo Qingyu's mind, [Host! I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?]
Luo Qingyu was physically and mentally exhausted right now and had no mood for small talk, so she said directly, “Bad news first.”
007 quickly replied, [The bad news is that a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm is catching up from behind. They will catch up to you in only half a quarter-hour.]
Luo Qingyu couldn't help but curse under her breath, “Shit! What's the good news then?”
[The good news is that you still have Teleportation Talismans to use, Host! The high-grade Teleportation Talismans you drew from the gacha before—just one can teleport you thousands of li!]
Only then did Luo Qingyu remember the Teleportation Talismans gathering dust in her storage space. The veins on her forehead throbbed as she complained to 007 in her mind.
“Why didn't you say so earlier? My damn spiritual energy is almost completely depleted!”
“Are you doing this on purpose just to see me make a fool of myself?”
007 was so anxious it was at a loss for words: [I really didn't, Host! My loyalty to you can be witnessed by Heaven and Earth, and testified by the sun and moon. How could I laugh at you!]
Luo Qingyu rolled her eyes speechlessly. “A mere system like you is actually trying to wax poetic.”
“Hurry up and give me the Teleportation Talismans. The people behind us are almost here. I don't have time to dawdle with you.”
007 quickly took out two high-grade Teleportation Talismans from the system space and handed them to Luo Qingyu.
Luo Qingyu stopped the Somersault Cloud, grabbed Luo Qingyuh beside her, and shouted loudly at the black-clothed men chasing closely behind them.
“Bye-bye! We're setting sail today!”
As her voice fell, she channeled her spiritual energy to ignite a Teleportation Talisman. In an instant, a blinding white light flashed, and both of their figures completely vanished.
The mid stage Nascent Soul cultivator who caught up from behind darkened his face and said coldly, “Search! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find the young master!”
“If you encounter the youth beside him, kill him on sight.”
The group of hidden guards bowed in unison and replied, “Yes!”
...
“Aaaah! No matter how many times I teleport, I still get teleportation sickness!”
Thud!
Luo Qingyu and Luo Qingyuh slammed face-first onto the ground.
She sat up dizzily, propping herself up, and muttered in confusion, “Huh? Strange, why doesn't my butt hurt at all?”
Luo Qingyuh, who was completely pinned under her, silently raised a hand and said in a small voice, “Sister, I'm under you.”
Hearing the voice from beneath her, Luo Qingyu jumped up instantly and apologized repeatedly, “I'm so sorry, Xiao Yu! I didn't see you just now.” With that, she reached out to pull him up.
She quietly asked the system in her mind, “007, where did this teleportation send us?”
007 swiped the panel and replied, [Congratulations, Host! The teleportation landing point is the Demon Abyss Cliff in the Demon Realm!]
Luo Qingyu's face fell as she complained, “Congratulations my foot! It teleported me straight to the Demon Realm. My bad luck is truly unmatched.”
007 quickly advised, [Don't worry, Host! Don't you still have another Persona? Just contact him and let him send us out of the Demon Realm.]
Luo Qingyu pondered for a moment, thought it made sense, and nodded gently. “Alright, let's do as you say.”
“Send him a message saying I'm here, and tell him to hurry over and pick us up.”
007 immediately replied, [Understood, Host. The message has been sent.]
[Xie Jinyuan replied that he will arrive within half a quarter-hour, and asked you to stay put and not wander around.]
Luo Qingyu nodded, reached out to pull up the dazed Luo Qingyuh, and comforted him softly, “Don't be afraid, Xiao Yu. Sister will definitely bring you out of the Demon Realm safely.”
Looking at the barren cliff around them, which was completely bare and enveloped in black energy, Luo Qingyuh had already guessed as much. However, hearing his sister confirm that this was the Demon Realm still made his heart tighten.
“I understand. Thank you, Sister! If we run into danger, I will definitely protect you first.”
Hearing her younger brother's soft and sincere words, Luo Qingyu's heart melted. She reached out to gently pinch his soft cheek and comforted him with a smile.
“Don't worry, silly Xiao Yu. If there's real danger, Sister will definitely make sure you escape first.”
Just as he was about to argue back, the transmission jade slip at Luo Qingyu's waist suddenly lit up. She quickly connected the incoming video call.
Qin Fanfan looked tense as he stared at his unharmed disciple. He asked hurriedly, [Xiaoyu, those little rascals like Ming Xuan told me you were being hunted down. Is that true?]
Luo Qingyu waved her hand and said in a relaxed tone, [Master, it's fine. I've already shaken them off. You don't need to worry.]
Qin Fanfan finally breathed a sigh of relief and pressed further, [Then where are you now? Do you need Master to find someone to meet up with you?]
Luo Qingyu looked a bit embarrassed and replied in a low voice, [Um... Master, there was a slight error with the Teleportation Talisman. I accidentally ended up in the Demon Realm.]
Upon hearing this, Qin Fanfan practically jumped up, widening his eyes as he shouted, [What? Say that again! You were teleported to the Demon Realm?]
The other sect masters and elders who were sitting nearby listening to Ye Qiao's report instantly fell silent, feeling rather exasperated.
One was at the demon stronghold, and the other had landed directly in the Demon Realm. Did the Changming Sect poke a demon hornet's nest?
Qin Fanfan was still worried and urged repeatedly, [Xiaoyu, how about I have your Little Martial Uncle go to the Demon Realm to pick you up? The demons are far too dangerous...]
Before he could finish, Luo Qingyu interrupted, [Master, there's no need to trouble Little Martial Uncle to make the trip. I have a way to leave the Demon Realm, and I can just treat this as a trial.]
[As the future of the cultivation world, no matter what problems I encounter, I must learn to adapt on my feet. I cannot rely entirely on you and the elders.]
Hearing these words, the sect masters and elders on the other end of the video call nodded to themselves one after another, feeling that she made a lot of sense.
Seeing that his precious disciple had put it this way, Qin Fanfan, acting as the father figure, ultimately sighed in resignation.
[Alright then. You must be extremely careful in the Demon Realm. If you can't beat them, run away quickly. If you really can't escape, send a transmission for help immediately. Do you hear me?]
Luo Qingyu nodded obediently and complied, [I understand, Master.]
As soon as she finished speaking, she cleanly cut off the transmission. Luo Qingyu then glanced at the jade slip again and saw an unread message from Ye Qiao.
Ye Qiao: [I'm at the demon stronghold right now. Fourth Senior Brother, where are you? Why don't I see you?]
Luo Qingyu: [I was just being chased. There was an error with the Teleportation Talisman, and I was teleported directly to the Demon Realm.]
The moment the message was sent, Ye Qiao replied instantly.
Ye Qiao: [Fourth Senior Brother, you're way too unlucky!]
Ye Qiao: [Oh, by the way, let me tell you something. Your Ice-Face was captured by the demons.]
Luo Qingyu raised an eyebrow, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and typed a reply.
Luo Qingyu: [Help me rescue him. I'll give you a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones when we get back.]
Seeing this, Ye Qiao didn't hesitate for a single second and replied immediately.
Ye Qiao: [Yes, God of Wealth! This humble servant shall set off immediately.]
Luo Qingyu saw Ye Qiao's reply and burst into laughter on the spot.
Beside her, Luo Qingyuh was full of confusion and gently tugged her sleeve. “Sister, what are you laughing at?”
Luo Qingyu waved her hand. “It's nothing, Xiao Yu. I just saw a funny message.”
Luo Qingyuh knew in his heart that the old man in the transmission just now was his sister's master. He did not want to disrupt his sister's peaceful life any longer, so he spoke softly.
“Sister, once we leave the Demon Realm, let's go our separate ways.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyu's face darkened, and her brow furrowed tightly. She raised her hand and slapped the back of his head.
“What nonsense are you talking? You are my younger brother. So what if you're being chased? Besides, I am a Personal Disciple of the Changming Sect. There's no need for you to worry about me.”
Luo Qingyuh rubbed the back of his head and argued in a low voice, “But...”
Luo Qingyu solemnly pressed his shoulders, her gaze firm. “Xiao Yu, remember this well: as long as I am here, I will never let you suffer even a single grievance or injury.”
“When the time is ripe, we will go back together to avenge Mother!”
Hearing his sister's words, Luo Qingyuh could no longer hold it in, and tears streamed down his cheeks.
Luo Qingyu helplessly raised her hand to wipe away his tears. “You're already so big, yet you still cry at the drop of a hat.”
Luo Qingyuh sniffled and replied in a low voice, “I only dare to cry in front of Sister.”
