711: Thank you for saving me, fellow Daoist.

Just as Elder Heavenly Scorpion was diligently following Demon Venerable Mu Xue, inspecting the entire Five-Colored Marsh, the two unlucky individuals, whose whereabouts were unknown, felt a jolt in their hearts.

They only felt that the intense dizziness had somewhat lessened.

Boom!

After a moment, the Void Realm suddenly shook, as if a rift had appeared.

On his shoulder, the Black Small Beast with double wings hung its head, its aura weak, having long lost the prestige of a Late Nascent Soul Stage Great Demon.

Within its body, its Bloodline Power was weak, unable to maintain this chaotic Void Realm passage.

Fortunately, the Void Realm had stabilized considerably by then.

As this rift appeared, a suction force pulled Zhou Shixi and Chao Xiaoyi involuntarily towards it, causing them to fall through.

Buzz~

The Void Realm trembled.

The two figures vanished, leaving no trace.

At the same time, in the Lantuo Great World, on the Xunye Plain, there was nothing but an endless expanse of green.

But at this moment, the tranquility of the plain was broken.

A White-robed figure, with an unstable aura, was flying in a disheveled state, streaking across the sky.

The air current it created stirred the green blades of grass, making them dance in the wind.

The White-robed figure had her hair tied up, her face was pale, and her aura was constantly declining, yet she dared not stop.

She continued to flee forward, not knowing where to go, only knowing that if she fell into the hands of the person behind her, she would rather die than live.

"Ye Lingshuang, you can't escape."

"Why waste your energy?"

"Just stay obediently by this Young Master's side, and we can go to Wushan together, enjoying the ultimate human pleasure, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

At this moment, a slightly frivolous taunt came from behind the white-robed woman.

Ye Lingshuang bit her pearly teeth, her eyes filled with disgust.

If not for her Revered Master suddenly having an epiphany twenty years ago and entering a death seclusion from which she had not emerged, with no trace of her aura even now, this matter would not have spread for some unknown reason.

It was known by Ghost King Mansion, Hongyuan Temple, Black Prison Gate, and the Taiyi Sect, which had suddenly risen ten years ago.

A few months ago, these factions suddenly joined forces and attacked Lingyun Sect.

Half a month ago, Lingyun Sect was breached, and its Disciples suffered heavy casualties.

She could only seize the opportunity and escape, intending to conceal her identity and seek revenge for the Sect in the future.

Who knew, she was discovered by this Evil Monk from Hongyuan Temple who was waiting outside.

Ye Lingshuang's heart was heavy, and she already harbored thoughts of death.

Falling into the hands of this Evil Monk from Hongyuan Temple, she would rather die a quick death.

However, even if she were to die, she would still bite off a piece of flesh from this Evil Monk of Hongyuan Temple.

Ye Lingshuang's eyes became resolute.

Within her body, the remaining magical power began to gather towards the three-foot longsword in her hand.

Yet, her figure continued to flee forward, as if she were solely focused on escaping.

Behind Ye Lingshuang, a young Monk in red, holding a red alms bowl and a red staff, showed a hint of interest in his eyes as he looked at her exquisite fleeing figure.

"The favored daughter of Lingyun Sect, tsk tsk..."

Monk Shuangxi felt a little excited, seemingly impatient.

His speed suddenly increased, closing in on Ye Lingshuang.

Ye Lingshuang continued to channel magical power into the sword in her hand without a change in expression.

Just then, an invisible ripple seemed to emanate from a distance beside the two people who were chasing and fleeing.

Monk Shuangxi's expression changed.

"Who is it!"

"How dare you spy on this Young Master!"

Monk Shuangxi's heart filled with anger, and he threw his staff.

Boom!

The staff broke through the air, transforming into a red stream of light, and pierced towards the source of the invisible ripple.

"Hmm?"

Within the ripple, a young figure appeared.

On the young figure's shoulder, a Black Small Beast with double wings was curled up, its aura weak.

Within Zhou Shixi's mind, the feeling of dizziness had not yet dissipated.

As the red staff attacked, Zhou Shixi instinctively waved his hand.

In his right hand, the Sword Talisman he had been holding since the beginning suddenly trembled.

Boom!

Sword Qi shot into the sky.

The yellow Spirit Talisman burned, transforming into an illusory sharp sword.

As Zhou Shixi waved his hand, the sharp sword slashed down.

Crack!

The staff split into two, falling to either side.

"Pfft!"

Monk Shuangxi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face stunned as he looked towards Zhou Shixi.

The next moment, a sword shadow rapidly magnified in his eyes.

"Who... are... you..."

"Thud!"

The red alms bowl in Monk Shuangxi's hand fell to the ground.

Immediately after, his entire body split into two, and his aura dissipated.

Monk Shuangxi's heart was filled with shock and absurdity.

He, a True Disciple of Hongyuan Temple, one of the Six Evil Path Sects, who had condensed a Golden Core at such a young age, had died here silently.

If this were to be told, who would believe it?

However, the fact had already occurred, and there was no possibility of changing it.

"This..."

Ye Lingshuang's figure, which was rushing towards Monk Shuangxi, stopped.

She had originally intended to use this opportunity to see if she could perish together with Monk Shuangxi.

Who knew, Monk Shuangxi, a True Disciple of Hongyuan Temple, was simply split in half by a flash of sword light.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Zhou Shixi, whose Sword Talisman had completely burned out, finally dispelled all the dizziness from his mind.

However, he did not look towards Ye Lingshuang and Monk Shuangxi.

Instead, he turned to look at the Black Small Beast with double wings on his shoulder.

"Elder Xiao Yi, how are you?"

Zhou Shixi's expression was a little anxious.

"My Bloodline Power is too depleted; I need Spirit Medicine to recover..."

On his shoulder, the dying Black Small Beast with double wings struggled to transmit a thought into Zhou Shixi's mind.

Six illusory images appeared.

"Heart Source Fruit, Blood Clarity Spirit Leaf, Purple Garden Flower..."

Zhou Shixi quickly scanned them, feeling a slight relief in his heart.

The Zhou Family was a Beast Taming Family.

As a Zhou Family Disciple, he had never neglected his studies.

He recognized all six types of Spirit Medicine.

Moreover, he had one of them in his Storage Ring.

"Purple Garden Flower."

Zhou Shixi flipped his hand and took out a strange purple flower.

"Sniff~"

Chao Xiaoyi wiggled her nose, then opened her mouth and inhaled.

The Purple Garden Flower in Zhou Shixi's hand shrank, flew out, and entered Chao Xiaoyi's mouth.

Buzz~

Within the Black Small Beast's body, a faint hint of bloody light emerged.

For a moment, its aura no longer declined.

However, he only had one Purple Garden Flower, and it would probably not be easy to help Elder Xiao Yi recover.

Zhou Shixi pondered, "I need to find some more as soon as possible..."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for saving me."

At this moment, a weak female voice reached his ears from a distance.

Zhou Shixi's contemplation was interrupted.

He then remembered that someone seemed to have attacked him just now.

Looking in the direction from which the voice came, Zhou Shixi's gaze fell upon a white-robed young woman who, though disheveled, possessed an extraordinary temperament.

Below the white-robed young woman, there was also a red figure split in two, but it was already dead beyond resuscitation.

Zhou Shixi didn't pay attention; in such a situation, he naturally had to prioritize his own safety and that of Chao Xiaoyi.

Moreover, his subconscious counterattack was beyond his control.

Regardless of who this person was, his death could not be blamed on him.

Zhou Shixi was not an overly kind person.

"Where... is this place..."

"Fellow Daoist?"

Seeing Zhou Shixi silently observing her, Ye Lingshuang called out again.

Zhou Shixi's gaze returned to Ye Lingshuang, "Perhaps... Fellow Daoist, please forgive me, I was a bit distracted just now. May I know your name?"

Zhou Shixi's heart stirred, and he saluted the white-robed young woman in the distance.

"I am Ye Lingshuang, and I thank Fellow Daoist for saving my life."

P.S.: I finished the exam, and I feel I did pretty well~
