Early the next morning, Luo Qingyu and her group rode a flying boat, heading toward Yunshui City.
They returned to their rooms in the cabin, preparing to send messages to Ming Xuan and the others.
Just as Luo Qingyu activated the spiritual sense isolation tool, her and Ye Qiao's transmission jade slips began to chime incessantly.
At this point, the messages on the jade slips had piled up to the point of exploding.
They were all full of concern, asking if the two of them were alright.
Ming Xuan asked: 【Fourth Junior Brother, are you still alive?】
Luo Qingyu: “Still alive, but almost dead from exhaustion.”
Ming Xuan, still somewhat worried, followed up: 【Should I have Little Martial Uncle pick you up?】
Luo Qingyu: ...If it's Little Martial Uncle, forget it. She was afraid she wouldn't live long.
Luo Qingyu glanced at the messages on Ye Qiao's jade slip.
Well, on Ye Qiao's end, they wanted Senior Brother to pick her up, but on her own end, it was Little Martial Uncle. You really are my good Second Senior Brother.
Beside her, Ye Qiao reminded Ming Xuan and the others: “There are about twenty Golden Cores on the demon side. I don't know the situation in Yunshui City, so prepare yourselves in advance.”
Twenty Golden Cores?
Ming Xuan stood up abruptly and hurriedly ran out to hold a meeting with the other Personal Disciples.
*
Ming Xuan: “Our Junior Sister says there are about twenty Golden Cores on the demon side, and they even have a Saintess with a Nascent Soul cultivation base along with two Protector Elders.”
Mu Zhongxi couldn't help but wail, “Ah, are we just supposed to wait for death?”
“Are Master and the elders even going to do anything about this?”
Since they couldn't get the Chaos Bead anyway, why sit here and suffer?
Xue Yu spoke calmly, “Let's wait a bit longer. Since the elders arranged for us to take this commission, they will definitely ensure our safety.”
In the end, after some discussion, they decided to have Zhou Xingyun of the Changming Sect and Qin Huai of the Chengfeng Sect work together to scout the enemy's situation.
After taking the Concealment Pills given by Xue Yu, the two quietly made their way outside Yunshui City, one after the other, to observe the constantly approaching demons.
Zhou Xingyun swept his gaze over the flying boat and sensed the strength of over a dozen Golden Cores, as well as two late-stage Golden Cores.
As for the three he couldn't sense...
Zhou Xingyun narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling upon the mysterious veiled young girl and the two masked individuals standing beside her.
Nascent Soul realm?
This must be the Nascent Soul Saintess and the two Protector Elders Ming Xuan spoke of. To go to such great lengths just to capture a few Personal Disciples.
Zhou Xingyun couldn't help but quietly form a sword hand-seal, wanting to go over and throw a sword strike at the Saintess and the two Protector Elders to test their strength.
Ultimately, he was stopped by Qin Huai, who retained a bit of sanity.
“If the information from the Five Sects is correct, that Saintess and the two Protector Elders beside her are at the Nascent Soul realm. Don't go looking for death.”
Zhou Xingyun nodded silently and was pulled back by Qin Huai.
Currently, the only ones with any combat capability left were Zhou Xingyun and Qin Huai.
Si Miaoyan also said quietly, “We can't beat them.”
Now that Song Hansheng and Ye Qinghan had both gone missing, what did they have left to fight with?
The group fell silent for a moment. Then, Xue Yu silently raised his hand and said, “I have the Mountains and Rivers Scroll. I can use it to test the strength of those three.”
Seeing this, Zhou Xingyun didn't stop him either.
As the third-ranked tool on the Spiritual Tool Registry, the Mountains and Rivers Scroll was naturally no joke. It could trap anyone they wanted in an illusion within a certain range.
It was a great item to test an opponent's strength.
If Qin Huai hadn't stopped him just now, he would have already tested the strength of those three with a single sword strike, without needing to go through all this trouble.
At this moment, Xue Yu raised his hand, channeled his spiritual energy, and opened the Mountains and Rivers Scroll.
