377: Chapter 377 Action Plan

Qin Shishi lay in the arms of Ji Taichang, her little heart pounding violently, her entire body tense.

Time passed bit by bit.

Those few True Immortal experts flew over them without stopping!

Seeing this, Ji Taichang could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes were powerful enough; as long as there was no close contact, even True Immortals could not see through the power of the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes!

"Xiao Wanwan really is my lucky star!"

Ji Taichang sighed inwardly, but another thought emerged in his mind.

"The reward for the Innate Immortal Bone is already this strong; if I were to subdue the top Geniuses of the Immortal Realm, wouldn't I just take off?"

With this thought in mind.

Ji Taichang lowered his head and asked softly in Qin Shishi's ear: "Shishi, do you have any talents?"

Qin Shishi only felt a warm breath by her ear, ticklish, accompanied by a magnetic voice ringing in her ear, making her heart flutter, her face becoming even more flushed, and her body feeling somewhat limp.

"N-no..."

If she truly had outstanding talent, she would have joined the major Sects long ago; how could she have been betrothed to Young Master Liu Huaqing by the Qin Family?

The only thing Qin Shishi could be proud of was this voluptuous and beautiful physique of hers.

But in this world of the Immortal Realm where the strong prey on the weak, what use was a beautiful appearance?

Instead, it would only invite covetousness!

Ji Taichang had expected this and was not disappointed. He asked: "Those few True Immortals have already left. Where shall we go next?"

"Left?"

Qin Shishi's beautiful eyes widened slightly: "You... having ascended from the Lower Realm, do you possess a treasure capable of concealing yourself from the perception of True Immortal Realm experts?"

Ji Taichang nodded slightly: "I accidentally obtained a treasure that fell from the Immortal Realm to the Lower Realm."

Upon hearing this, although Qin Shishi was a bit envious, she could accept this explanation.

She stretched out her pearly-white finger to poke her chin and thought for a moment: "Hmm... with your astonishing talent as a Loose Immortal Realm cultivator capable of defeating an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator across Realms, let alone the major Sects of the Fire Cloud Immortal Mansion, you would even have a chance to join the major Sects of the Tianlan Province. Why don't we find a major Sect to join?"

Ji Taichang rubbed his chin, also lost in thought.

"The Changfeng Prefecture is too far away; it's impossible to get there in a short time."

"If I join a major Sect, I can gain resources and a backing. At that time, I won't have to worry about the threats from the Qin Family and the Luochen Sect. I might even be able to use the power of the major Sect to cross the Tianlan Province and head to the Changfeng Prefecture!"

"That is indeed a good choice."

"Even if my Revered Master comes looking for me, I believe she will understand. Once I find the Taixu Immortal Sect, I can just leave the major Sect then."

With this thought in mind, Ji Taichang made his decision.

"Shishi, which major Sects are there in the Fire Cloud Immortal Mansion?"

"Hmm... there are three first-class major Sects, all of which have Heavenly Immortals presiding over them."

"Oh, right!"

Qin Shishi suddenly remembered something, her eyes lighting up: "The Fire Cloud Immortal Mansion has a station for the Thunder Sect. The Thunder Sect is a major Sect in the Liefeng Immortal Prefecture, and it is said that they have Profound Immortal experts presiding over them!"

"The Thunder Sect opens its recruitment conference every ten years, and you can sign up at their station in the Fire Cloud Immortal Mansion. Calculating the time, the recruitment conference is in two and a half months!"

"Why don't we go to the Thunder Sect station!"

Ji Taichang nodded: "That works."

The Immortal Realm was too vast. Given his current cultivation, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the Liefeng Immortal Prefecture even after walking for hundreds of years, so he had no way to join a top-tier Sect in the Tianlan Province.

Although the Thunder Sect wasn't considered top-tier in the entire Tianlan Province, it was the best choice under the current circumstances.

He acted without delay.

The two quietly left the cave and began to cross the mountain range in the direction opposite to those few True Immortals.

"System, claim Young Master Liu Huaqing's cultivation!"

Ji Taichang chanted inwardly.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 30% of Young Master Liu Huaqing's cultivation!]

A pure and rich Immortal energy surged in Ji Taichang's Dantian, quickly swallowed and refined by the Creation Green Lotus Dao Seed and the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes, transforming into his own cultivation power.

Ji Taichang's cultivation suddenly surged by a large margin, stepping into the sixth level of the Loose Immortal Realm.

"Only breaking through three minor Realms; it seems this Young Master Liu Huaqing wasn't all that great."

"Wait... something is wrong!"

Ji Taichang suddenly thought of a question and became alert instantly: "The System can only obtain the cultivation of a dead husband, which means Young Master Liu Huaqing is already dead! But Qin Shishi doesn't know that Young Master Liu Huaqing is dead at all. How can a dead man take a concubine?"

"Could it be that Young Master Liu Huaqing died recently, and the Qin Family hasn't received the news yet?"

Ji Taichang vaguely felt that something was not right.

"Huh?"

Qin Shishi suddenly looked up at Ji Taichang, blinking her large, watery eyes.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to sense that the aura on Ji Taichang's body had become a little stronger.

Although Ji Taichang used the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes to conceal the changes in his aura.

But Qin Shishi had been holding Ji Taichang's arm, her whole body almost hanging onto Ji Taichang. With their skin-to-skin contact, she could vaguely detect some subtle fluctuations in his aura.

...

Two and a half hours passed in a flash.

Ji Taichang had kept the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes activated to conceal their aura, taking Qin Shishi through the desolate mountain range, but they still hadn't been able to get out.

There was no help for it; Loose Immortals could only walk, and the speed was truly too slow.

"Phew... we should have evaded the pursuit."

Ji Taichang exhaled a breath of stale air and deactivated the power of the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes.

After all, he was only at the Loose Immortal Realm cultivation; keeping the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes activated all the time consumed too much energy.

But without the Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes to conceal their aura, the two were quickly targeted by a group of Vicious Beasts.

"Roar!!"

It was a group of Vicious Beasts that Ji Taichang had never seen before. They were on all fours, their entire bodies glowing with a ghostly blue light, covered in dark black scales, looking ferocious and terrifying.

"Shadow Wolves!"

Qin Shishi's expression changed slightly, and she immediately drew a precious sword, as if facing a formidable enemy.

There were only twenty or so Shadow Wolves in this group, but seven of them were at the Earth Immortal Realm, and the cultivation of the Wolf King leading them was as high as the seventh level of the Earth Immortal Realm!

"Awoo—"

Following the Wolf King's roar, more than twenty Shadow Wolves fiercely pounced from all directions. Each one was as robust as an ox, with surging life force, extremely ferocious, launching an attack at the two.

"Watch out!"

Qin Shishi only had time to call out a warning before immediately drawing her sword to slash at the few Shadow Wolves pouncing towards her.

Bang!!

Qin Shishi executed a movement technique, constantly dodging the attacks of the Shadow Wolves, while simultaneously swinging her sword to slash. Sword Qi surged, blocking three Shadow Wolves with Earth Immortal Realm cultivation; her performance was not too bad.

Ji Taichang, on the other hand, moved elegantly, calmly avoiding the attacks of several Earth Immortal Realm Shadow Wolves, while simultaneously flicking his fingers continuously. Wisps of Immortal light bloomed, continuously killing the Loose Immortal Realm Shadow Wolves that were pouncing over.

Swish—

Just at this moment, a ghostly blue flash streaked across, its speed incredibly fast, slamming fiercely into Qin Shishi!

Although Qin Shishi had immediately held her sword horizontally to block in front of her, she was still sent flying by a claw, smashing a large tree into pieces, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and her pretty face turned pale.

The Wolf King had made its move!

It was two zhang tall, burly and robust, and with a fierce stomp on the ground, its four limbs wreathed in wisps of ghostly blue flames, its sharp claws swiped towards Qin Shishi again.

Qin Shishi's pupils shrank violently. Although she tried her best to dodge, she simply wasn't faster than the Wolf King!

After all, she only had the cultivation of the third level of the Earth Immortal Realm, while the Wolf King was at the seventh level of the Earth Immortal Realm!

Not to mention there were still several Earth Immortal Realm Shadow Wolves lurking nearby, eyeing them covetously.

"It's over!"

Qin Shishi's face turned pale, and a look of despair appeared in her eyes.
