Chapter 103 The Battle for the Jade Flower

The jacaranda flowers are held high in the sky, resembling a bright moon.

Yan Yuanzhi's determination deepened. He released the Wind Eagle from his spirit beast pouch, blew a whistle, and the Wind Eagle soared into the sky, intending to snatch the Qionglun Flower and escape.

Ning Fusang and Shen Yuzhu reacted and attacked almost simultaneously. The wind eagle moved with the speed of a gust of wind, leaving only a faint shadow as it dodged left and right, deflecting the attack.

The sword energy missed its mark, and Shen Yuzhu's long ribbon could not restrain the wind eagle's figure. A hint of smugness flashed in Yan Yuanzhi's eyes.

This bird is renowned for its speed; even a fifth-level cultivator might not be able to catch it!
Suddenly, a seductive bell rang.

The speed of the wind eagle decreased, and it lost its direction.

Ning Fusang flung out the Thousand Spirit Cage, instantly capturing the Wind Eagle. Then, she rose into the air, stepping on the fluttering fragments of her long ribbon, to collect the Jade Wheel Flower.

The items from Lingyu Palace are really useful for dealing with spirit beasts.

This unexpected turn of events caught Yan Yuanzhi completely off guard.

His eyes widened, and he blurted out, "How did you get Junior Brother Xie's Bewitching Bell and Thousand Spirit Cage? Have you met him?"

Yan Yuanzhi's eyes darkened: "Junior Brother Xie is at the early stage of the fourth realm, while you are only at the third realm. How did you manage to take the Bewitching Bell and the Thousand Spirit Cage from him?"

In that instant, he thought of many things. Perhaps it was because Junior Brother Xie was injured in the secret realm that she took advantage of the situation and obtained the Bewitching Heart Bell and the Thousand Spirit Cage.

Yan Yuanzhi guessed one thing correctly: Ning Fusang did indeed take advantage of the situation and seize Xie Taiting's spiritual weapon, but not inside the secret realm.

She did not encounter Xie Taiting in the Twin Heavens Spirit Realm.

Yan Yuanzhi's main targets changed from the Qionglun Flower to two magical artifacts, as well as his own Wind Eagle in the Thousand Spirit Cage.

His every move was sharp and fierce, and there was already a murderous intent in his eyes.

"Are the things belonging to my Lingyu Palace something that others can take?"

"Leave the two magical artifacts behind!"

The advantage on the field gradually shifted towards Shen Yuzhu. She glanced at the girl wielding the sword with surprise. Xie Taiting was considered a prodigy of the Lingyu Palace, and at such a young age, he had already reached the fourth level of cultivation. The fact that this girl was able to take two spiritual weapons from Xie Taiting showed that she was extraordinary.

She's really got some skills.

Even now, Shen Yuzhu still can't figure out which faction she belongs to.

There aren't many sects in Yuling Prefecture that use swords, but there are still quite a few. Among them, the Nanxing Sword Sect and Qiushuang Sword Sect are the leaders, as are the Wanyi Sect Sword Pavilion lineage and the impoverished Sword Valley disciples. Other sects also have sword-wielding cultivators. Even Huanxitian is no exception. With so many people in a sect, more or less some will choose swords as their weapons.

When the two fight, the Jade Wheel Flower is none other than hers!

Shen Yuzhu smiled, flicked her wide sleeves, and a long, water-red ribbon shot out, swirling around the snow-covered Qionglun flower and bringing it back.

At this moment, the snow-white sword tip pierced through the brocade, its sword energy crisscrossing and damaging the closed petals of the Qionglun Flower, causing the shimmering nectar to fall like drops of fine rain.

Shen Yuzhu was startled. She was entangled with a fourth-level cultivator, yet she still had the energy to take care of the Qionglun Flower!
A quick glance downwards revealed a Qing Shen Bell covering Yan Yuanzhi. On the bell was a bright yellow talisman, fluttering in the wind yet remaining firmly in place.

Fifth-tier spiritual weapon!

Shen Yuzhu was amazed. In the short time she was distracted, Ning Fusang had already taken out the jade bottle and started to collect the Yingpo Flowing Elixir.

Its fragrance is exquisite and rich.

Shen Yuzhu reacted quickly, also taking out a container to collect the nectar. The spiritual rain soaked her clothes, and even her body was imbued with the fragrance of the Qionglun flower.

Ning Fusang collected three bottles of Yingpo Flowing Essence, feeling somewhat regretful that the remaining essence had spilled onto the ground. She quickly glanced at Shen Yuzhu, then retrieved the Azure God Bell and used the Swift Light Talisman to leave.

When Yan Yuanzhi reappeared, Ning Fusang was nowhere to be seen. His face was ashen; he hadn't retrieved the Bewitching Bell and the Thousand Spirit Cage, and the Wind Eagle was also lost.

To suffer such a huge setback against a cultivator at the third level of the cultivation realm was something Yan Yuanzhi had never imagined. The Radiant Essence had been divided up by the girl and Shen Yuzhu, leaving him with nothing. Yan Yuanzhi said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Shen, farewell!"

Shen Yuzhu smiled charmingly, her voice like a silver bell: "Okay!"

She and Yan Yuanzhi met by chance in the secret realm. They originally planned to stay together and then separate after finding their respective sect members.

However, the two had already drifted apart when they were vying for the Soul Essence, and Yan Yuanzhi hadn't gained any benefit, so his resentment led to the breakdown of their cooperation, which was quite normal.

Shen Yuzhu herself is a fourth-level cultivator, so she doesn't need to worry about losing her life in the event of danger.

The two, who were already at odds, parted ways.

……

A cave.

Jiang Xin sat cross-legged, palms facing the sky, sensing the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the secret realm was abundant, flowing towards her continuously.

The girl in white outside the cave glanced back at her movements, then looked away and continued to perform her duties as a protector.

Her divine sense covered an area of ​​ten miles. Suddenly, the girl frowned, used the Shrinking Earth Technique to appear ten miles away, drew her longsword, and shouted sharply, "Who's there? Stop!"

"Amitabha."

The newcomer chanted a Buddhist prayer, and his bald head came into He Jiaxiu's view. It turned out to be a monk from Kongyun Temple. She sheathed her sword.

The young monk, with delicate features and dressed in a snow-white robe, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect: "I was unaware that you, esteemed lady, were here. I apologize for the intrusion. I shall take my leave now."

Seeing that he was all alone in the secret realm and had not yet found any fellow disciples, He Jiaxiu felt sorry for him and called out, "Wait."

The young monk turned around, a clear look of confusion on his face: "May I ask what else you need, female benefactor?"

She said, "The secret realm is dangerous. You should stay with us so we can look out for each other. Let's separate after we find the other monks at Kongyun Temple."

The young monk smiled slowly, revealing his white teeth: "Thank you for your care, benefactor."

He Jiaxiu couldn't stand the term "female benefactor"; she wasn't used to being addressed that way. She glanced at the person and said, "My name is He Jiaxiu."

"This humble monk is Wuchen."

The young monk Wuchen said as he and He Jiaxiu walked back, noticing that the spiritual energy was surging in one direction. "Is someone breaking through to a higher realm?"

No wonder Miss He was so stern in her rebuke to stop people at the beginning; it turns out she was protecting them. If that's the case, then we really can't be careless.

He Jiaxiu raised her eyebrows slightly and hummed in agreement, "Her name is Jiang Xin, and she is my fellow disciple."

Jiang Xin was the first person she met after entering the Twin Heavens Spirit Realm. Since they were fellow disciples, they traveled together.

Wuchen nodded, took out a meditation cushion, and sat down to meditate. He hadn't finished his daily practice yet. He closed his eyes and silently recited the Heart Sutra in his heart.

He Jiaxiu didn't have much in common with the monk anyway, so she was happy to be at ease. Jiang Xin's breakthrough to the third realm wouldn't happen overnight, so she estimated she would have to stay here for another two or three days.

I wonder if the rest of the Southern Star Sword Sect have all joined forces by now.

Bai Qingci returned from Qingbo Cave Lake and also entered the Twin Heavens Spirit Realm, so perhaps we can run into each other.

As for Ning Fusang, given her solitary nature, she probably wouldn't stay with the people from the sect.

It's a pity for Xiang Xiaozhi; the spot in the secret realm went to her senior sister, and she missed the chance to enter the secret realm.
