*Squeak, squeak, squeak--*
A huge poisonous spider hanging from the ceiling expressed its excitement by opening and closing its pincer-like mouthparts, while below, on the top of the skeletons pile, Jiang Mojiao scratched his chest and cheeks with a ferocious look on his face, flesh and blood stuck under his fingernails.
Jiang Mojiao connected with the hidden parasites placed outside the cave and felt that the demonic cultivators he summoned with the Demonic Summoning Order were, at the moment, being overwhelmed by the *Snow Guards*.
"Trash!! A bunch of trash!! Trash, trash, trash..."
Jiang Mojiao muttered to himself as he tilted his head and glared at the spider above, cursing it. "And you!! Hurry up and give birth!! Not enough, not enough, not enough!! Not enough toxic spiders!!!"*Hiss---*
The very next moment, a furious roar came from the depths of the cave, scaring Jiang Mojiao into stiffness.
***---"...Liang Xiaoliu!!!"***
A thick, blood-red energy filled the cave as if it were smoke.
Jiang Mojiao turned around and saw Gu Mingxin holding her blood-colored sword and running toward the entrance of the cave. Every time she stepped on the ground, an innocent young parasite exploded into smithereens.
When she arrived in front of him, Jiang Mojiao widened his eyes and cursed. "Trash!! You bunch of trash!! Hurry up..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Mingxin's bloodshot red eyes suddenly glanced toward him, and the blood-red sword in her right hand had a layer of halo that seemed to be dripping with blood."Yelp!!"
Frightened by this glare, Jiang Mojiao hastily retreated a few steps.
"Heh..."
Gu Mingxin sneered contemptuously, then ignored him and ran quickly out of the cave. The next moment, Wu Tianci followed her.
When he saw Jiang Mojiao, Wu Tianci felt like mocking him, but he didn't say anything and chased after Gu Mingxin.
Lu Meimei, who came out last, was putting on her clothes while running. When she saw Jiang Mojiao, she also sneered in disgust and rubbed her arms. "Yuck~~ Tsk tsk tsk..."
Then, she sped up her pace and ran out.
Seeing Lu Meimei's expression, Jiang Mojiao was stunned.
To the female cultivators of the ***Hedonistic*** Sect, men were like dried meat to a starved dog that had been skipping ten meals.
He was actually despised by a woman from the ***Hedonistic*** Sect?
Rejected! By a female cultivator of the ***Hedonistic*** Sect?!
"You, you, you, you! What do you mean? You bunch of losers!! What do you mean?! What do you mean? What do you mean, ahhhh..."
...
The furious voice came from behind, but Gu Mingxin ignored it. There was only one person left in her mind.
---The one she deeply "loved", Liang Xiaoliu!!
*Tap, tap, tap---*
With rapid and powerful footsteps, Gu Mingxin rushed out of the cave.
What awaited them outside was the snowstorm on the mountain peak, as well as the bursts of golden and red spiritual lights that collided not far away in the sky.
Gu Mingxin stared ahead, tightly gripping the sword in her hand and bellowing, "Liang Xiaoliu!!! Liang Xiaoliu Liang Xiaoliu!! Where are you?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a sturdy arm suddenly rested on her shoulder.
Without a moment's hesitation, Gu Mingxin turned around, swinging her sword.
"Hiss--"
Wu Tianci, who had caught up to her, gasped in fear, but luckily, Gu Mingxin withdrew her force in time, and the sword blade stopped at the side of his neck.
He looked at her bloodshot eyes, then glanced at the bell in her hand and calmly comforted her. "Sister Gu, calm down. You haven't recovered yet. It's better to lie down and recuperate. Besides, Liang Xiaoliu might not come..."
Probably due to the cold weather in the **Northern Region**, Gu Mingxin calmed down a little and shook her head.
"No, he's coming. I can feel it."
"Feel?" Wu Tianci frowned slightly as he asked, "Could it be that you had a nightmare? Did you dream about..."
Gu Mingxin looked at Wu Tianci's face, took a deep breath, and interrupted seriously. "No! He's definitely nearby. Trust me, he's definitely here!"
"..."
At this moment, Lu Meimei also came out. Seeing the snowstorm outside, she immediately shrank her neck. "Oh~ It's so cold~~ Brother Wu, Sister Gu... What's wrong with you guys?"
"Sister Gu says Liang Xiaoliu is here..."
"Oh~ Where is he..."
"..."
Wu Tianci rubbed his nose and thought for a while while glancing around. "Sister Gu, you said that Liang Xiaoliu is cunning. If he comes, he must be hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity. He won't respond even if you call his name, so we have to force him out."
Gu Ming Xin's eyes focused, and she turned to look at the demonic cultivator disciples and the *Snow Guards* fighting on their flying swords in the valley ahead. She summoned her flying sword and jumped on it.
"Sister Gu?!"
Wu Tianci didn't understand what she wanted to do and was about to chase after her. However, as soon as he flew up, he saw a spiritual light like a white dragon smashing into the surface of the rock wall.
*Boom---*
That was the power of the spiritual spear, and the person wielding such power was probably the *Snow Guard* Commander who was here to slay the demonic cultivators.
Wu Tianci thought for a moment, and seeing that Gu Mingxin was flying too fast, he decided not to go after her.
Let's deal with the leader of the *Snow Guard* first, and the rest will follow slowly...
Wu Tianci stomped heavily on the ground and jumped into the air. With his Physical cultivation ability, he stepped into the air, each of his steps creating an explosion. His body was like an arrow from a bow, heading in the direction of the spear.
"Ah? Brother Wu~~"
Lu Meimei stood there in a daze, watching the two people fly away in two different directions. She froze on the spot, not knowing who she should follow.
"Who... who should I follow?"
*Yiiii---*
An eagle's cry resounded through the forest. Lu Meimei's eyebrows twitched slightly as she turned around and saw a ball of flame rushing toward her face.
Lu Meimei quickly waved her hand and formed a spiritual shield to block the fire.
However, the flames kept coming one after another.
She narrowed her eyes and looked up. Seeing that these flames came from the mouth of a red bird, she was so angry that her veins popped out. "Are you done yet? You stinky bird!"
Pink spiritual energy immediately seeped out of her body, turning into skulls that flew toward the Fire Phoenix hovering in the sky.
However, the phoenix only retracted its wings, floating like falling leaves and dodging the incoming skulls.
And then,
*Kiiiaa---*
The phoenix cried out.
In Lu Meimei's eyes, the Fire Phoenix seemed to be mocking her: *Heh~ you missed~~*
"💢💢💢"
The veins on Lu Meimei's forehead looked like they were about to burst.
"There's no bird in this world that I can't tame!"
Then, her figure turned into a stream of light and soared from the ground, flying toward the Fire Phoenix.
The Fire Phoenix shot her a disdainful glance and spread its wings again. Flapping its wings, it headed in the direction of its master.
"Stinky bird!!!"
*Yiii---*
...
*Swish---*
There was the sound of flesh piercing as a young *Snow Guard*, holding a spear, pierced the chest of a demonic cultivator who was stepping on a flying sword. After that, with a forceful fling of the spear, she threw the demonic cultivator down from mid-air.
She let out a long sigh and looked at her senior sister who was accompanying her. Seeing that she had also finished dealing with the problem on her side, she relaxed. "Sister, it's all done."
The *Snow Guard* Senior hovered on her sword beside her, flicked the remnants of the blood on the tip of her spear to the ground, and reminded her. "Don't relax, it's not over yet. The commander asked us to deal with the *Foundation Building* demonic cultivators around us... There are only a few of them... Let's go help the others..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw a red light rush from below. She immediately grabbed the younger sister by the collar and pulled her behind her as she raised the spear in her hand.
*Ding---*
Accompanied by a burst of sparks, a blood-colored sword crashed directly into the shaft of her spear.
The person holding the sword was a black-haired cultivator with red eyes.
The red eyes were like a bloody full moon, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, like a crescent moon.
Gu Mingxin pressed her sword against the spear shaft and leaned forward, her face almost sticking to the face of that *Snow Guard*. "You were called by Liang Xiaoliu, right?! Where is he? Where?!!"
"...A *Core Formation* demonic cultivator?!"
Sensing the difference in cultivation, the *Snow Guard* sister widened her eyes and used all her strength to push Gu Mingxin back with her spear shaft. Then, she grabbed the younger sister's collar and turned to flee up in the sky.
Gu Mingxin watched them flee but did not chase after them. She hovered in mid-air, looking indifferently at the two people's backs, and softly called out. "Xue'e..."
*Rumble---*
A sound like an earth dragon turning over resounded throughout the valley.
The demonic cultivators and *Snow Guards* who were entangled in other places, altogether stopped their actions at this moment.
None of them knew what was happening, but they all felt an ominous bloody aura.
The next moment, a huge black python broke out of the ground, rising like a mountain.
The huge black shadow was clearly visible from tens of miles away, swirling the snow over the moon in the sky, stirring up gusts of wind and roaring like a dragon instead of hissing like a snake.
"Roar--"
Leaping into the air, the *Snow Guard* quickly fled with her sister. When she heard the noise behind her, she turned her head and could only watch helplessly as the python approached them.
However, at this moment.
---"Xiao Tian!!!"
The shout came from the snowy forest below them.
A golden dragon suddenly appeared beside them and opened its mouth to bite seven inches above the black python.
The moment Gu Mingxin saw the golden dragon appear, she felt a killing intent coming from behind her like a gust.
She immediately turned around and waved the sword in her hand.
*Ding-ding-ding-ding...*
In the snowy night, the cold light moved swiftly, and the sword lights spread around Gu Mingxin and Feng Yu Die, turning into silver snakes dancing wildly in the air.
Seeing Feng Yu Die's appearance, a hint of surprise appeared in Gu Mingxin's eyes. "You're finally out!!!"
"Tsk..."
*Ding ding ding---*
...
Meanwhile, in the snowy forest below, Xiao Yunluo and Pei Lianxue frowned as they watched the two people fighting in the sky.
"Why is it her again? Last time in the ***Imperial*** Sect..."
"..."
Pei Lianxue did not expect Gu Mingxin to appear.
Her original plan was for her, Second Idiot, and Xiao Yunluo to follow the hidden parasites on the way, find that demonic cultivator's cave, and take his head.
But now...
She lightly bit her lower lip and gripped her sword in her hand. "Yunluo, let's go! We're almost there!!"
"Ah... aren't we going to help the idiot..."
Xiao Yunluo seemed to want to help Feng Yu Die deal with Gu Mingxin, but Pei Lianxue shook her head slightly. "Second idiot said to let her deal with it alone."
"..."
"This person even escaped from my brother's hands last time. We definitely won't be able to deal with her in a short time, and if that *Nascent Soul* demonic cultivator is attracted here, it will be bad. Let's deal with the *Nascent Soul* cultivator first, then help the second idiot. Let's go!"
Xiao Yunluo heard the urgency in Pei Lianxue's tone and didn't say anything. She glanced at the sword lights flickering in the sky and then continued to search for traces of the poisonous insects in the forest with Pei Lianxue.
Accompanied by the sounds of the black python and the golden dragon colliding behind them, the two fled two miles up the mountain before coming to a stinking cave.
Pei Lianxue narrowed her eyes and looked into the cave entrance, then immediately swung her sword to the side.
"This is it... Yunluo, set it on fire."
Behind her, Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath and raised her sword finger to her lips. "Fire Order!"
With an exhale, a raging fire dragon surged directly into the depths of the cave.
The cave rock walls, covered with snow, melted into magma in an instant.
The sizzling sound of roasted meat came from inside the cave.
Then, there was a scream.
"Ahhhhhh---"
Pei Lianxue narrowed her eyes and held the sword tightly in her hand, waiting at the door. As if she had noticed something, she immediately raised her sword and waved several sword lights in front of her.
*Ding---*
A centipede, whose entire body was still burning, broke through the lava that blocked the cave entrance and collided with the sword in Pei Lianxue's hand, knocking her back a hundred feet.
Xiao Yunluo was stunned momentarily, then quickly used a lightning spell to help Pei Lianxue escape. She then turned to look at the cave.
"Trash! You bunch of trash!! You actually need me to take action!! Trash!"
A monster with a human upper body and a spider lower body walked out of the cave, stepping on the lava.
When Xiao Yunluo saw this, her eyes widened in fear, and she instinctively felt her stomach churning. She quickly summoned her flying sword and leaped into the air, then used a hand seal to block the enemy.
*Rumble---*
Lightning shot through the sky and landed on Jiang Mojiao's poisonous spider, crushing the purple pus and scattering it.
However, the next moment, a dense group of mosquito-like parasites surged out of the cave toward Xiao Yunluo, who was floating in the air.
"Hiss -- so disgusting! Waaaaaahhhhhh-- Don't come over here ah!!!"
...
*Boom---*
Lightning and fire poured over the snowy mountaintop into a quiet cave about five miles away.
Li Longling sat cross-legged in front of the fire and breathed slowly. She propped herself on her knees and stood up, then pulled two talismans from her storage bag and tucked them into her sleeves. After that, she raised her arms slightly.
*Yiii---*
With a sharp cry, the Fire Phoenix flew in from the cave entrance, landing on the leather wristband on her right hand.
"Good boy~ good boy..."
Li Longling touched the phoenix's head and fed it a piece of dried meat. Then, as if mentally preparing herself, she took a deep breath and faced the cave entrance.
She had watched Lu Meimei chase after the Fire Phoenix, so she thought Meimei would directly enter this cave.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no sign of Lu Meimei.
Li Longling waited in silence for a while, when suddenly, she felt a strange fragrance, and she couldn't help but twitch her nose.
"Hmm..."
The next moment, a clear male voice came from outside the cave.
"Longling."
Li Longling looked through Fire Phoenix's eyes and saw a man wearing a bamboo hat walk into the cave. He pulled off the scarf on his face, revealing his handsome face with deep purple eyes.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, puzzled. "Anping? Why are you back?"
"The plan has changed. Come here..."
"But I've already lured Lu Meimei over..."
"Really? She is behind me?"
Li Longling let the Fire Phoenix move to her shoulder and then walked toward the man in front of her step by step. She slowly opened her arms and said, "Anping~~ Hug~~"
"Ugh..."
Ye Anping was stunned for a moment. He slowly opened his arms to receive her, but what he actually received were two talismans.
Just as Li Longling seemed about to jump into his embrace, she directly stuck the two talismans hidden in her sleeves on his cheeks.
