nity of suffering.The ripples asked the Emperor to come play chess, purely to frighten him. He has a guilty conscience and today he even brought up spices himself, enough to keep his mind troubled for..."The closest to Yunguang Mountain is Yunguang City, but it's quite chaotic there with a lot of black-market dealings. It's best if we go to Moshang City instead..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that Liàn Yī was gone. Turning back, he also saw that his three fellow disciples had disappeared. He knew then that he was in trouble.

At this time, the other three were separated into different areas, with white mist before their eyes, falling into an array one after another. Only Lianyi was very clear-headed; she did not step into the array.

Even before this, her divine consciousness had discovered a group of wandering cultivators setting up traps here. They were clearly aimed at their five people, and the other party was obviously preparing to rob them.

Ripple's eyes flashed, and she immediately called out, "Lian Dao-friend," before taking steps into the maze. The moment she entered, her figure vanished completely.

The person setting up the formation didn't notice any ripples. As they were puzzled, a sudden chill ran down their spine. They turned around and met a pair of gray-blue fox eyes, then lost consciousness in the next instant.

Ripple stood silently beside the cultivator who was holding their ground, and spoke softly:

"Kill the cultivator who's leading the group. The treasures on the rest of them are yours."

Yes, sir!

The male cultivator replied with vacant eyes, then manipulated the formation disk and began attacking Lian Yexi. The other three were also caught in the crossfire. For a moment, within the formation, blades flashed and swords danced, wind, fire, ice, and lightning all surged forth, targeting all four of them.

The ripples then pulled the whirlwind out of space and said with a laugh,

"In a little while, when the time is right, you come out and save me, your master, okay"

Xuan Feng shook his ears and said:

"Master, do you still need my rescue"

"Do you understand acting"

Okay!

The whirlwind flipped in the ripples, then watched the commotion with its owner. DoDo couldn't hold back anymore; she silently crept from the ground to Lian YiYe's side and extended a tendril to wrap around his ankle, starting to absorb his energy.

At dusk, Lian Xi's heart was filled with terror. She felt her internal spiritual energy rapidly depleting and finally panicked. With a ruthless resolve, she pulled out a fourth-order explosion talisman from her storage bag and hurled it, attempting to violently shatter the entire formation.

"Here comes Doudou!"

The ripples immediately transmitted the sound.

"Got it!"

Dodging and weaving, Doudou swiftly made her escape through the channel opened by the ripples.

This exploding talisman was of the fourth rank, equivalent to a strike from an early Nascent Soul cultivator. Therefore, she immediately abandoned the idea of letting the whirlwind act, hurriedly said a few words, then put the whirlwind into her spatial storage, and with a flash of her figure, she was blown away along with the other three by the immense explosive force.

As the chessboard shattered, all five saw each other. However, none of them were in good shape at the moment. Among them, Lian Ye's situation was the worst. His spiritual energy was depleted, and there were tiny cracks appearing on his meridians. If they weren't repaired in time, they would leave hidden injuries that would affect his future cultivation. This was exactly what Lian Yi wanted to see.

The person manipulating the formation also spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. The accomplices who were ambushing around the formation were also affected by the blast wave, flying backwards.

"Leave here quickly, we've walked into someone else's trap."

Even at this late hour, Lian Xiye couldn't bear to hesitate. He immediately swallowed a pill that replenished his spiritual energy and urged everyone to leave quickly.

The sound of the explosion here will soon attract other cultivators. When that happens, there will certainly be many who want to take advantage of the situation and loot the remains.

The ripples circulated within his body, draining the color from his face, leaving bloodstains at the corners of his mouth. He was clearly injured, but he quickly rushed over and pulled up Du Yan before vanishing as swiftly as he appeared.

That evening, Lian Xiye and Mu Sheng followed Ye Qing closely. Shortly after the five of them left, someone arrived at the place they had just been.

"Hey, isn't that Fang Wu Looks like the hunter got pecked in the eye by the geese!"

Someone recognized the fallen male cultivator and said gloatingly.

"Looks like he's hit a wall."

"Big brother, chase"

"What are you chasing after Aren't you afraid of becoming ashes"

"Tsk, a wasted trip! Bad luck!"

"How could I have made a wasted trip, this isn't Fangwu!"

"My brother is right!"

Then, Fang Wu, who was lined up next, just disappeared without a sound.

The ripples stopped at the gate of Yun Guang City. Yun Guang City was guarded by a powerful cultivator, so no one dared to cause trouble. Even though they were in a sorry state now, no one dared to openly target them.

"Fellow cultivators, we are all injured now. It's not advisable to rush on our journey. We should stay in Yun Guang City for a few days to see how everyone recovers before deciding when to depart."

"Eileen's friend is right. Let's go find a cave to recover."

At dusk, he immediately responded.

The other three had no objections either, and the five of them paid the spirit stones to enter the city and rented a cave dwelling with moderate spiritual energy to begin their individual cultivation and healing.

The ripple approached Lian Xi Ye's cave dwelling, and after entering, he raised his hand to set up a barrier, plucking Dou Dou out from her hair bun. He flicked the flower bud and said:

"Dodo, you're really brave now, daring to absorb the spiritual energy of the Qi Yunzi."

Each petal trembled, and she brushed against Ripples' fingers with a hint of servile affection. "

"

"Master, Doudou also wants to help you weaken his strength, so that the mission can be completed as soon as possible."

"If I wanted to weaken him, I could do it myself. But right now, I can't just kill him outright. That would invite backlash. Just now, if I hadn't been so quick, that blasting talisman could have hurt you. Then what would you have done"

The ripples said, rather angrily.

"Master, I find this strange. Even the fourth-order blasting rune from last night shouldn't have been able to hurt me. After all, I am a fifth-order Soul Devouring Flower."

Doudou said somewhat unconvinced.

Ripples touched the petals of the flower, then pointed upward with her finger and explained:

"This place is sheltering him. You are just a plant, and the explosive talisman belongs to the fire attribute. It has a natural suppression effect on you. The explosive talisman he used, I don't know where he got it from, its power exceeds that of an ordinary fourth-order explosive talisman."

"Ai! I was so close, I could have dropped his cultivation back to the Golden Core mid-stage!"

Dodo said with a tinge of regret.

"You're already fast enough, don't be discouraged, you're doing great. Just try not to be so reckless in the future."

The ripples gave an unsettling lesson.

"Yes, master."

After tucking her blossoms back into her own hair, Lian Ri closed her eyes and started to meditate, though in reality she was contacting the stone mill.

"The millstone, come again, how is it that this noodle's fate still chooses Li Xiye as the child of luck Shouldn't they choose someone else"

"I can only say that this is the inertial choice of heaven, but it's not necessarily a connection to the eve night."

What needs to be said has already been said.

It seems that even Heaven knows how to make choices.

"Of course, this trip back in time gave Weimen another chance to evolve. However, the will of heaven remains stuck at its first choice, so it all depends on you now."

The stone mill encouraged.

I understand.

With the millstone's hint, Lian Ri was even more certain of his guess. Therefore, he set his sights on consuming the evening's qi and turning it into the goal of an ordinary cultivator.o cautiously. Now that you're back, just stay home and recuperate. If your face doesn't heal, father will support you for life!”Song Dachuan rarely spoke in such a long sentence."Well, as long as my p...
