294: Silver Moon Fox
Chen Tianming dared not gamble on human nature.
He had promised to protect the people within the small world, but he had not promised to protect the entire small world itself.
Therefore, he decided to save the people first; as for the future, he would figure out a way when the time came.
Following this, Chen Tianming cast another illusion, making everyone hold an umbrella and transforming all the umbrellas into the white snow falling from the high mountains during the day.
In this way, the large group of people looked just like an avalanche.
Ordinary cultivators would generally not pay attention to such things.
However, Chen Tianming unexpectedly encountered an accident this time.
As he was leading everyone down the mountain, he suddenly felt an unexpected chill on the top of his head, descending as if it were slicing his throat.
Startled, Chen Tianming quickly waved his hand, burying everyone in the snow.
He himself flew into mid-air, selected the most suitable technique to counter the attack, and struck with a palm.
A massive Vajra Palm erupted with a boom.
Terrifying energy suddenly burst forth outside the golden light.
At this moment, Chen Tianming only felt the graceful figure of a bright moon flash before his eyes.
A tall and slender young woman, dressed in a silver-white long dress, fainted and fell, crashing into Chen Tianming's arms.
At this moment, Chen Tianming only felt that the woman had a cold scent about her.
Added to that was a unique, strange fragrance.
It made Chen Tianming suddenly feel his blood boiling; to use one word to describe it, it would be appropriate to say his animal instincts were aroused.
He wanted nothing more than to pin this woman down in the snow and take her right then and there.
But just as Chen Tianming intended to do so, he did not expect the woman to act first.
The beautiful woman suddenly opened her eyes.
In the first second, there was a touch of silver in her eyes.
But in the second second, the silver was quickly covered by blood-red, as if the moon had turned from white to red; it looked extremely terrifying.
Then, the beauty suddenly opened her mouth; her originally beautiful and fair face became like a crazed monkey, and her fangs were bared.
Chen Tianming quickly pushed her away.
At the same time, he steadied his figure, using his body to shield the group hidden behind him.
The woman landed, but as soon as she landed, she seemed to have lost her sanity.
Like a wild beast, she rushed toward Chen Tianming.
Looking closely, her originally fair palms were actually covered with silver-white hair, and ten three-inch long sharp claws were currently hidden within the fur, flashing with a metallic luster.
When Chen Tianming saw this, he thought, 'This is too much!'
He immediately prepared to deal a lethal blow.
But just as Chen Tianming was about to attack with all his might, the Fire Qilin suddenly let out a low shout.
"Stop! She is possessed by a heart demon, she can still be saved!"
Chen Tianming rolled his eyes on the spot.
"If you can save her, you do it! I can't handle this!"
He then directly summoned the Fire Qilin.
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure shook the universe.
The Fire Qilin stared fixedly at the strange freak before it, and let out a cold, angry snort from its mouth and nose.
"Junior! Hmph! Back down!"
The voice seemed to have magic, as if it had purified the woman's entire body.
The woman turned back into that young girl with black hair and a silver-white dress, falling into the snow.
Chen Tianming caught her, preventing her from rolling down the cliff.
Just at this moment, in the sky, beneath the scorching sun, a golden light soared into the sky.
Then, an old man with white eyebrows was seen stepping on a silver sword, rushing down through the air.
At this time, the Fire Qilin shouted loudly.
"What are you standing there for! Hurry and hide!"
Chen Tianming had wanted to fight this person.
But when the Fire Qilin gave the warning, it made Chen Tianming a step too late.
At this moment, Chen Tianming saw that behind the old man were hundreds of cultivators, almost all of whom were above the Void Refining realm.
It looked very spectacular as they flew down through the air.
Chen Tianming grabbed the woman, then dove into the snow.
At the same time, he covered his and everyone else's aura, and taking advantage of the thick snow, he played a trick of 'escaping like a cicada shedding its shell' and disappeared without a trace.
The old man stood in place, his brows slightly furrowed.
"There was one just now! The scent of the Spirit Clan is so strong, how could it disappear in an instant?"
Two people appeared beside the old man, saluting him simultaneously and saying in unison.
"Protector Canghai! The Silver Moon Charming Fox is a rare breed that only appears once in ten thousand years, you and I have lost it... How are we going to explain this to the family when we go back!"
Elder Canghai snorted coldly and pointed to the south.
"Hmph? Explain! The Southern Heaven Gate has reopened; never mind some Silver Moon Charming Fox, even if the sky falls now, there is no way to distract the Family Head!"
"You two can rest assured, the Family Head will definitely not make things difficult for us!"
The few of them discussed for a while, made up an excuse, and returned.
Little did they know that at this moment, Chen Tianming was under the snow, hearing every word clearly.
Looking down at the woman in his arms, her extreme indifference mixed with nine parts charm, her soft body pressed against his, he feared that no man in the world could hold back.
Chen Tianming knew that this place was not to be stayed in for long, so he tried his best to keep everyone hidden and followed the path down the mountain.
After much difficulty, they left the snow-capped mountain, and the group took a great deal of effort before finding a place to rest temporarily near a small village.
Chen Tianming and the others set up a temporary spot in the wilderness to rest for the time being.
Then, Chen Tianming took a few people and left first to scout the surrounding villages.
Upon arriving in the village, Chen Tianming did not expect that there would actually be ordinary mortals in this world of immortal cultivation.
As soon as they saw Chen Tianming and his group flying on swords, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Great Immortal! High Immortal! The village hasn't had rain for over a year; please, Great Immortal, show mercy and let the Heavens bring us some rain!"
For Chen Tianming, this was not a difficult task.
But recalling that he had only exchanged one move with the Silver Moon Charming Fox on the snow mountain and had been discovered and chased, he realized something.
Although it sounded like those people were there to catch the Silver Moon Charming Fox.
But at this moment, Chen Tianming had already guessed that in this world, there was likely already a way to sense spiritual energy from a distance.
At this moment, Chen Tianming did not want to take any more risks.
So, he paid out of his own pocket and took a high-quality spirit stone from his bosom.
"I am not convenient to cast spells for the time being, but this spirit stone is worth a lot, enough to help you survive the drought for several years!"
He offered the precious spirit stone, in exchange for the villagers' gratitude.
Chen Tianming also asked about what he wanted to know and learned about the situation here.
This place was remote and rarely visited by people.
After some thought, Chen Tianming decided to leave the people from the small world here for the time being.
But to his surprise, when he returned to the temporary camp, more than half of the people from the small world who had come with him had already left.
Only a small portion remained.
As soon as Chen Tianming returned, he immediately began to explain.
"They felt that the sky is high and birds can fly as they wish, so they formed groups and went to find their own paths!"
