Chapter 74 Unusual Movements from All Sides
Just as Meng Bao was fully analyzing the array's central core, deep within the Golden Sun Secret Realm, on a desolate mountain adjacent to the core area, nine figures stood solemnly before a simple stone house, the atmosphere so oppressive it was almost frozen.
The leader was a tall, middle-aged man with a cold, hard face and an arrogant air about him. He was none other than Zhao Fengyun, the senior disciple of Crimson Fire Island!
"Senior Brother, we've searched every mile around, but there's still no trace of Senior Brother Zhou and the other two. Even those two Golden Sun Hounds have vanished without a trace, leaving not even a trace of their presence!"
A disciple in red robes bowed and reported, his tone full of anxiety.
"Senior Brother, could it be that Senior Brother Zhou and the others have already...?"
Another disciple hesitated, his worry evident in his words.
"No way!" Zhao Fengyun abruptly interrupted him, his voice icy and chilling, his face clouded with gloom. "Those three, they definitely fell victim to that vixen's evil deeds!"
He clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with murderous intent: "Not only did you kill the Golden Sun Hounds, but you also deliberately destroyed the Golden Sun Flame within them. If you didn't know about Crimson Fire Island's tracking methods, who would have thought of this?"
Zhao Fengyun grew angrier the more he thought about it. He never expected that even after pushing that demoness to the brink, she would still be able to turn the tables and kill all three of them in one go.
Can't wait any longer!
If this drags on any longer, who knows what other sinister tricks that vixen might pull?
"Everyone, listen to my command!" Zhao Fengyun swept his gaze across the crowd, his voice like thunder. "Prepare the Mysterious Light Crimson Fire Banners and follow me! This time, we will slay that demoness and avenge Junior Brother Zhou and the others!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist.
With a "whoosh," a Golden Sun Dog, far larger than its peers, suddenly darted out.
This Golden Sun Dog has glossy, smooth fur, deep red flames on its back, and is full of spirit.
After landing, it sniffed around, its mouth and nose twitching constantly. After a short while, it let out a rapid and fierce roar at a mirror tower in the distance.
"yes!"
The remaining eight Foundation Establishment cultivators from Crimson Fire Island responded in unison, their voices resounding and their killing intent soaring into the sky.
Unbeknownst to them, the Golden Sun Dog's frantic barking was not directed at the "demoness" Liu Yueru, whom they believed to be a witch, but at Fan Jingmei, who had absorbed the spiritual energy of the Golden Fire Spirit Stone.
This massive attack was a misunderstanding from the very beginning.
However, on the other hand, they weren't entirely wrong.
After all, the lives of Zhou Yuan and the other two were indeed lost at Luo Qing's hands.
Liu Yueru, who was Zhao Fengyun's primary target, was in an extremely miserable situation at the moment.
At that time, beside a fire pool on the edge of the Golden Sun Secret Realm, Yuan Yao and Yan Li were methodically picking spiritual herbs.
Having followed Nie Shan to hunt demons and collect spiritual herbs for the past three months, the two women had already figured out the survival skills of the secret realm and were becoming increasingly cautious in their actions.
Suddenly, a faint groan drifted over on the hot wind.
The two women exchanged a glance, both looking wary. They then lowered their voices and cautiously followed the sound.
In the shadow of the rocks beside the fire pit, lay a woman dressed in red.
Her face was ashen, veins bulging on her cheeks, and her aura was chaotic yet powerful. She was unconscious, and her condition looked quite critical.
"Senior sister, she seems to be Fellow Daoist Luo's fellow disciple."
Yuan Yao scrutinized her carefully for a moment, recognizing Liu Yueru's identity, and hesitated, "Should we save her?"
"It's Senior Brother Luo, not Fellow Daoist Luo. This woman is also our Martial Aunt, so don't let it slip."
Yanli quickly whispered a reminder, a hint of nervousness in her eyes, "Don't forget, our current identities are that of agents on Whale Corpse Island."
"Judging from her appearance, she has probably gone mad from her cultivation. Let's take her back to the cave and hand her over to Uncle Nie for treatment."
Currently, they are under the protection of Nie Shan and naturally cannot make decisions on their own.
Immediately, the two women carefully helped Liu Yueru up, used their magical artifacts, and flew towards the cave where they were hiding.
Inside the cave, Nie Shan was sitting leisurely in front of the alchemy furnace, slowly refining a batch of Lesser Golden Yang Pills.
The furnace fire flickered, and the fragrance of pills wafted through the air. For a master of alchemy like him, this kind of first-grade pill was nothing to worry about and could be refined with ease.
He doesn't even need to use his divine sense to investigate; he can precisely control the heat simply by smelling the intensity of the elixir's fragrance.
"Back already?" Hearing footsteps at the cave entrance, Nie Shan didn't turn around, casually asking while making hand seals, "How was today's harvest? Hmm?"
But when he subconsciously turned around and saw the person that Yuan Yao and the other person were supporting, the composure on his face vanished instantly, replaced by utter panic.
He jumped to his feet, his voice trembling: "Why did you bring her back?!"
Who is Liu Yueru? She is a ruthless character among the core disciples of Jiyin Island, with vicious methods, formidable strength, and a profound background.
This kind of jinx is someone you should avoid at all costs, how could you possibly dare to bring him back?
"Uncle-Master Nie, we encountered her while gathering herbs. We found her unconscious and recognized her as a fellow disciple, so we thought we'd hand her over to you for treatment."
Yanli quickly explained, her tone somewhat uneasy.
"Deal with? Deal with my ass!"
Nie Shan's face turned pale. He didn't care about the pills still being refined in the furnace. He waved his hands repeatedly, his voice trembling.
"Get her out of here right now! The farther the better! Remember, she absolutely cannot die near us!"
Otherwise, even if we manage to leave the secret realm alive, we'll never have a peaceful life again!
He can't afford to mess with this big shot!
"Junior Brother Nie!"
As soon as Nie Shan finished speaking, Liu Yueru, who had just been placed on the ground by Yuan Yao and the other person, suddenly opened her eyes.
A hint of eerie gold lingered in her pupils, and her tone carried a touch of mockery.
"I never expected that you, who are usually so dull and unassuming in the sect, would find yourself enjoying the bliss of having two wives here in the Golden Sun Secret Realm."
Nie Shan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly forced an awkward smile.
"Senior Sister Liu is joking. This is hardly a blessing of having multiple wives. It's just that times are tough, and everyone is sticking together for warmth, relying on refining some pills to survive."
He abruptly changed the subject, his smile becoming even more ingratiating:
"However, to be honest, it is truly an incredible stroke of luck to have met Senior Sister Liu!"
Senior sister must be carrying quite a bit of the antidote for the Heavenly Capital Pill, right? Would you be so kind as to share some with me? I would be eternally grateful!
"As long as Junior Brother Nie can save my life, everything is negotiable."
Liu Yueru seemed to have completely ignored his earlier words about throwing her out; her expression remained unchanged, and her tone was very calm.
I knew this would happen!
Nie Shan inwardly groaned, but on his face he wore a troubled expression and waved his hands repeatedly:
"Senior Sister Liu is joking! You've gone mad with cultivation; what right do I, your junior brother, have to..."
