Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 202

Gu Shihan replied with a smile, "Siqi, we can say that we depend on each other for survival now. If you are well, I can be well, right? I understand the principle of trusting those you employ and not employing those you don't trust."

After this battle, you should have realized how far we are from being masters. To survive in the Immortal Realm, becoming stronger is the only way.

"Understood! I know. My swordsmanship is not as powerful as yours, and it's also much slower. I will practice diligently, and from now on we can combine our swords and roam the world together." Duan Siqi nodded.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the three-year period was over. The illusion at the cave entrance disappeared.

They had just finished packing their things when they were pushed out of the cave by a repulsive force.

"Shi Han, we've been kicked out. Should we leave immediately?" Duan Siqi had barely finished speaking when a loud crash was heard, and the stone cave behind them collapsed, leaving only a pile of rubble.

"This is self-destruction. Could it be the work of Senior Xiang Ai? It's just a pity about that spirit pool," Gu Shihan said with a wry smile.

"Hanhan, are we just going to leave like this?" Xingbai transformed back into her little fox form and perched on Gu Shihan's shoulder.

"Let's leave! Our cultivation level shouldn't be too low in this mortal realm. It's time to go out and explore, and also inquire about our senior brothers and the others!" Gu Shihan said thoughtfully.

"Wait a minute! Shi Han, shouldn't you cover up your face? You're too beautiful! Our cultivation is too weak, and our overly beautiful appearance is a source of trouble! Have you forgotten the groups of robbers we encountered before?!" Duan Siqi said, pulling Gu Shi Han aside.

“Yeah! Hanhan, you two should put on some makeup and make yourselves look ugly, so you won’t attract any unwanted attention, haha…” Xingbai teased.

"Xingbai, this isn't how you attract attention. But I am indeed incomparably beautiful. Alas! Being too weak is my original sin!" A smile flashed in Gu Shihan's eyes as she used a water mirror to manipulate her face.

There are no ugly people in the cultivation world. Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi did not deliberately make themselves ugly; they simply concealed their brilliance to avoid attracting attention.

The two people and the fox headed east. According to the information Xingbai had gathered, there was a city to the east called Ya City, a place where immortals and mortals lived together, and there were no people with very high cultivation levels.

The two people and the fox headed towards Yacheng, passing through a forest along the way.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting broke out. Adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, the two decided to take a detour.

But the unexpected happened very quickly. A melodious flute melody pierced through the air, and the melody seemed to have a magical power, captivating everyone.

Gu Shihan, with her powerful spirit, quickly broke free from the flute music, grabbed Duan Siqi beside her, and pointed a finger at her brow, letting the wood elemental energy circulate through her body.

"Shi Han, what happened to me?!" Duan Siqi was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Nothing! Activate the divine sense defense device! There's something wrong with that flute music!" Gu Shihan said.

"A divine sense defense device? I don't have such a good baby!" Duan Siqi was stunned, and said with a wry smile.

"The jade hairpin, the one I had you recognize as your master last time, has the function of spiritual defense, level three defense! Quickly!" Gu Shihan said urgently.

"Okay!" Duan Siqi no longer hesitated and quickly activated the three-star function on the defensive artifact. Soon she felt the difference, and the roaring sound in her head disappeared.

Just then, a man dressed in white stumbled into view. "Fairy, run! They...they are from the Heavenly Yin Sect. Their flute music has a mind-altering effect! We must not let them catch us!" The man was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. If it weren't for his disheveled appearance, he would have been a dashing young gentleman.

"My name is Su Mu. I am passing through this place. I wonder if you two would be willing to accompany me for a while?"

Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi didn't speak, but glanced at the male cultivator a few times. "Siqi, be careful. I have a feeling that this person's background is unknown."

"Understood!" Duan Siqi nodded slightly. Before she could take any action, three men and one woman appeared before her: two Nascent Soul Stage 7 cultivators and two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

The four men and women were dressed smartly, with raised eyebrows and eyes; they were clearly not good people.

The woman in red looked at Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi with disdain, as if she found them repulsive. She snorted and turned to look at the man beside her.

The woman in red winked seductively at the man beside her, her voice sweet and coquettish. "Brother! Another one's come knocking! Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Xuan, Senior Brother Wu, let's put in a little more effort and take her down. The man's mine, and the woman's yours, how about it?"

"Mei'er, your senior brothers will listen to you. How about we have a quartet?" Senior Brother Li put his arm around the woman's waist and looked at Gu Shihan and the others with a big smile.

Gu Shihan frowned and said coldly, "Fellow Daoists, how about we keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other?"

"How about it? We made a bet with our senior brother today and we have to take people back to the main altar. You just happened to run into us. It's fate. However, we are not unreasonable people. As long as you can stay awake during our music, we will not do anything to you and will let the three of you leave. How about that?" Senior Brother Xuan said.

"Shi Han, what should we do?" Duan Siqi asked in a low voice.

"It's alright! Xingbai, you can protect the three of us, right?"

“No problem, but should we protect that man too? He gives me a dangerous feeling; I can’t trust someone like that. You two must firmly choose to trust each other and not give that thing any opportunity to take advantage of you?” Xingbai glanced at the man in white and asked.

"Don't worry, Xingbai, we know that this person won't leave easily once they've come looking for us. Let's protect them for now! Consider it a good deed!"

As the flute music began, Gu Shihan and the others were not harmed by Xing Bai's binding power, nor were they bewitched.

"Do you...do you have some kind of treasure on you?" the red-clad female cultivator Mei'er asked in surprise.

"We don't have any treasures, but my contracted beast can block sound from reaching our ears, so your flute music poses no threat to us! Do you mean what you say? Will you let us leave?" Gu Shihan asked coldly, looking at the four people opposite her.

"Let's go! What bad luck, all that work for nothing! If it weren't for the oath we made..." Senior Brother Li waved his hand and said.

Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi started to leave, but the white-robed man, Su Mu, glanced around and quickly caught up. "Fairy, thank you for protecting me. I am deeply grateful. Hey! Fairy! Wait for me, let's travel together!"

"Fellow Daoist Su, the danger has passed. We sisters will take our leave now!" Duan Siqi said coldly.

"No way! Are you going to Asia City? I'm going there too. It's quite a distance from here to Asia City. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I won't bother you, I'll just follow you, okay?" Su Mu quickly said.

"What do you mean? You think it's dangerous for you to be alone? Are you a local?" Gu Shihan asked coldly.
