Lu Lin turned to look at the beast in her hands. The arrogant beast was now rolling its body like waves. It looked like it was... trembling?
(⊙_⊙)
“Shen Ying!” Lonemoon called out from mid-air. “What are you waiting for? Throw it over!” This was not their plane – the gate would not stay open for a long ti.
“Oh,” Shen Ying responded. There was a cracking sound. With a flick of her wrist, she broke the beast’s horn into two.
Ow~~
The Spatial Li imdiately cried out in pain. It was writhing uncontrollably, trying as best it could to escape the pain. Its movents were getting more vigorous now. It turned into two streams of liquid that gathered around the broken horn.
It was so painful, so painful... It could not stop writhing – it was going to die from the pain!
hen Ying picked up half the horn and raised it up to the white light in the air, throwing it over.
The Spatial Li trembled. Instinctively, it chased after its own horn.
Horn, horn... My horn...
(ಥ_ಥ)
The next thing they knew, both the horn and the Spatial Li disappeared through the white light. Lonemoon conjured a seal with his hands and caused the white light to disappear. Everything turned back to black.
It was then that both of them flew back.
“Spatial Lis actually appear in this place.” Lonemoon frowned. Logically, with managers around, things like Spatial Lis which only lived in the cracks between planes should not be able to invade the planes. When there were still no managers in their plane, and the Godfiend was in charge, there were no such things either. “Could it be that Chao Kun is already this weak?” That was the only explanation for the appearance of Spatial Lis.
“I don’t think this is happening because of him!” Yi Qing responded. He looked down at Shen Ying’s hands and turned to retrieve a white cloth. He pulled her hand over out of habit and began to clean it for her. He did not stop until there was not one black spot left on her hand. Then, he conjured a Dust-Repelling spell and continued, “Living things that invade planes like the Spatial Li are not that strong. Chao Kun could leave the plane and ask for help elsewhere. I don’t think he’s so weak that he can’t even fight these things.”
“Then did soone let these in?” Lonemoon subconsciously muttered He hesitated, then exchanged a aningful look with Chef. Both of them thought of the sa person at the sa ti.
The invader that injured Chao Kun!
Could it be that he had allowed the Spatial Li into this plane? But... why? The Spatial Li is such a small boss. For ordinary living creatures in the three realms, it did indeed pose a threat. But to managers, this was nothing. It was nowhere as hard to deal with as spatial storms or cracks in the plane!
“Three... Elders.” Lu Lin looked to the three of them curiously, not daring to refer to them as Fellow Daoists anymore. Even the way she looked at Lonemoon was different. She looked far more respectful. Although she did not understand what they were talking about, she felt like it was nothing that she would ever be able to achieve. Thus, she cupped her fists and bowed.
“Why, are you hurt?” Lonemoon frowned and faced her.
“N-No.” Lu Lin shook her head and pointed in front anxiously. “It’s... It’s just that where the beast had appeared earlier, there seems to be sothing there.”
Lonemoon paused and turned in the direction Lu Lin pointed. What resembled a plain desert earlier suddenly shook. It was almost as if soone was pulling back the curtains on stage. A huge palace appeared. It resembled the ho base of a sect.
“It’s... it’s the Sacred dicine Sect!” Soone exclaid. They imdiately moved forward, but on seeing that Lonemoon, Yi Qing and Shen Ying were still standing rooted to the ground, they changed their minds. Instead, they just watched them, waiting for directions.
The sect seed to have been hidden in another space because of the Spatial Li. Now that the Spatial Li has been chased away, the sect has shown itself.
These cultivators were all here to search for opportunities. Of course, the Sacred dicine Sect was what everyone was looking for. However, Lonemoon had no interest in it whatsoever. Therefore, he did not stop them from entering. Instead, after activating his divine perception and making sure that there were no other dangers lurking around, he allowed them to go ahead.
Everybody rejoice imdiately. After bowing to them respectfully, they entered the palace. None of them were treating Lonemoon and Yi Qing as possessions to be won over anymore. Instead, all of them were treating them as respected and distinguished elders.
Chef, however, scanned the palace and suddenly muttered, “Father Niu, don’t you think that this palace-”
“Is too perfect,” Lonemoon completed his sentence. He frowned even more deeply. Looking up at the mountain gate, he read the sign that said, “Sacred dicine Sect”.
According to what Lu Lin told them, this valley has been here for a long ti. Yet, this Sacred dicine Sect seed to have maintained its perfect exterior so well. It did not look like it had been destroyed in any type of natural disaster.
“Let’s take a look around!” Lonemoon suddenly said. The three of them mounted their words and flew around the palace, looking for clues. Apart from the fact that there was no living aura around, they did not find anything out of the ordinary.
The cultivators from the Dawning Pill Sect, however, yielded different results. All of them ca back hugging many things in their hands. The palace was very well-maintained – of course the things that they found were all in working condition and stored nicely away in the storage room.
“Elder, we found the inheritance of the Sacred dicine Sect in their storage room,” one of the female cultivators said as she carried a storage bag to Lonemoon and Yi Qing. One would think she was reporting back to them. She did not even look like she wanted to keep any of it for herself. Each one of the other female cultivators did the sa.
Lonemoon stared blankly at them. These people were so honest. He shook his head and said, “You all found these. These are yours. We don’t need them.”
“Well...” One of the female cultivators’ expressions looked troubled. “But we only managed to find the Sacred dicine Sect thanks to you, Elders.” The things inside were rightfully theirs. If not for the three of them, the female cultivators might even have been eaten by that strange demonic beast.
The other female cultivators mumbled in agreent. They kept trying to persuade the three of them to accept the loot, but after seeing that they had no intention to, they finally turned around and walked away.
Once again, Lonemoon inspected the empty palace. Still, he could find nothing out of the ordinary. His expression falling, he said, “Strange! Why did the Spatial Li hide this place?” There’s nothing special about it.
“Let’s go and take a look at the entrance?” Shen Ying suddenly suggested.
Entrance? What entrance?
Lonemoon stared blankly back at her. Suddenly, he recalled that the Spatial Li seed to be acting as a gate when they first noticed it. Could it be that this had sothing to do with the mountain gate? The three of them headed toward the mountain gate. Coincidentally, one of the cultivators from Dawning Pill Sect was just about to step through the gate.
As she stepped through it, the mountain gate ford a layer of ice. The entire thing trembled, and sothing like yin Qi shot out from the gate, filling the surrounding air and causing the temperature around them to drop.
“Holy shit!” Lonemoon shouted.
Chef was one step ahead of him. He summoned his sword and with one flash, freed the female cultivator from the gate. She flew backward from the impact, landing far away from the gate.
That was... Ghost Qi from the Underworld!
