I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 264 The Enchantress (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

A spring rain, specially prepared by Jiang Yi, helped Yan Kongqing fall into a peaceful sleep.

Before he collapsed and fell into a deep sleep, he gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang Yi as if she were his father's killer, cursing, "That witch deserves to die a horrible death."

Yan Kongqing was already severely injured, and he had forcibly used his essence and blood to cast a spell, leaving him weak and depleted of his vital energy. The lazy version of Spring Rain took effect very quickly.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone entering the secret realm was registered, and that as a disciple of the Cangling Sect she couldn't kill or cause conflict, why would things have gone through so much trouble?

After he stopped moving, Jiang Yi carefully examined him and found a slight trace of demonic energy in Yan Kongqing's meridians. It was this trace of demonic energy that affected his rationality, causing him to attack as soon as they met.

"Wake up, hey!"

Jiang Yi patted Yan Kongqing's face, but no matter what she did, she couldn't wake him up. He was so lazy that she couldn't ask him anything.

Moreover, Yan Kongqing doesn't dream when he's asleep; he just stays in a daze. Otherwise, he could ask questions even if he were in a dream.

In this situation, Jiang Yi could only guess for the time being.

Although the message left by the master said that the Dream Immortal Sect members who intended to infiltrate the secret realm had been eliminated, it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be people hiding even deeper.

She entered the secret realm very early this time, making it impossible to check those who came later. Therefore, it is highly likely that Yan Kongqing was attacked by the parasites of the Dream Immortal Sect.

Moreover, members of the Dream Immortal Sect could easily impersonate her, commit indiscriminate killings, frame others, and incite disciples from other sects to kill her whenever they see her, causing her trouble. This would allow the Dream Immortal Sect to reap the benefits of the conflict between the two sects.

"Forget it, let's take him with us and keep going. As long as he doesn't die, he'll wake up eventually after he's had enough sleep."

Jiang Yi told Zhenshan and Duanjin to return to Youxian Ferry to rest first. After leaving the Wind-Eroded Forest Maze, they only needed to keep moving forward. They could stop briefly at night to see if any bird spirits would appear.

"Just to be on the safe side, let's change our appearance and transform into 'Yi Xianyu'!"

In this way, those who have already been attacked by the Dream Fairy Sect will no longer shout "Demoness, you witch!" without any explanation as soon as they see her.

Yellow sand swirls, and the scorching sun beats down.

Yi Xianyu rode the Grey Wolf at breakneck speed through the rolling sand dunes, leaving a trail of dust in his wake.

The illusion technique was maintained by Jiang Yi's borrowed magic, saving Hong Li's spiritual power for traveling. If they encountered a monster attack on the way, Hong Li would actively use the Phantom Escape to dodge.

Not long after they ran, a dazzling burst of spiritual light erupted behind the sand dunes in the distance. Jiang Yi scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that two cultivators from the Zhu Ming Sect and one from the Bai Zang Valley were working together to fight against a giant centipede that was faintly visible in the sandstorm.

When Jiang Yi withdrew her divine sense, she saw a blood-stained sleeve buried under the yellow sand nearby, wondering which unlucky soul it belonged to.

As the sun gradually slanted from east to west, Hong Li suddenly slowed down and listened intently as she passed the edge of the quicksand sea.

Eek?
Jiang Yi also heard a 'thump-thump' sound, like a rattle drum. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light and looked out into the sea of ​​sand.

Amidst the endless yellow sand, a large, floating cowhide bag was seen chasing a round, rolling rattle.

The top of the large cowhide bag was tied into a knot, resembling a Taoist's hair bun, and the bag was covered with talismans.

The rattle drum has a round head, and the yellowish drumhead is painted with crooked runes. A wide robe embroidered with Buddha images is wrapped around the slender drum handle. The empty sleeves and trouser legs flutter in the wind, like a person running.

In the blink of an eye, the wind and sand blew by, and the two figures disappeared. Only the thumping sound of the rattle drum could be heard, coming from an unknown direction.

“That bag is the ‘Treasure-Seeking Taoist’. It’s said to be a storage bag that has become a spirit. I heard its story when I was a child. I never thought I would see it with my own eyes. That thing occasionally appears in places where treasures are found, but no one can catch it.”

"Someone once spoke with it and said it was crazy, and that the stuff it poured out of its bag was all junk and useless. As for that rattle drum demon... I haven't seen it, so I don't know. Let's keep going."

嘤~
Hongli continued running, and Jiang Yi reminded her, "You're a wolf now, you should howl, not whine."

Ooh... Awooooo!

After running for less than fifteen minutes, Jiang Yi suddenly noticed someone rapidly approaching her.

"Who is that fellow Daoist ahead?"

A gentle female voice came from behind the sand dunes. Jiang Yi told Hong Li to stop for the moment and watch the sand dunes warily.

Before long, a female cultivator dressed in a white dress, with an ethereal air, walked up from behind the sand dune. She held a jade flute with a blue silk ribbon hanging from it tightly in her hand, and she had a sweet appearance.

The dress she wore was also quite extraordinary, with some kind of faintly glowing crystals hanging from the cuffs and collar, which made a crisp and pleasant sound as she walked.

Although the woman's hair was disheveled and her face was filled with sorrow, she was not injured and there were no signs of dreaming on her head, indicating that she was not a parasite of the Dream Immortal Sect.

"And who are you?" Jiang Yi asked. The woman stopped at a distance. "I am Liu Jingzong, Xiao Qinghuang."

“A rogue cultivator, Yi Xianyu,” Jiang Yi said casually.

Xiao Qinghuang stood cautiously at a distance, sizing up Jiang Yi for a moment. Since she had no impression of Jiang Yi, she did not approach her.

"Fellow Daoist, did you come from the Wind-Eroded Forest? Did you encounter my senior brother Yan Kongqing along the way?"

Jiang Yi and Hong Li glanced at the 'sack' behind them at the same time, but Jiang Yi didn't say anything directly for the time being, and tried to get information out of them first.

"What happened? On my way here, I saw some signs of a battle, and blood-stained clothes."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qinghuang's expression tightened, and she couldn't help but take two steps forward.

"Did you see...did you see a body?"

Jiang Yi shook her head, and Xiao Qinghuang breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes reddening.

"I hadn't been here long when I used the sect's secret technique to reunite with Senior Brother Yan and two other senior brothers and sisters. But I never expected that we would be ambushed by that demoness."

"Witch?"

Xiao Qinghuang's eyes blazed with fury as she gritted her teeth and said, "It's that Jiang Heying of the Cangling Sect who has now changed his Daoist name!"

What the hell?
Jiang Yi scratched his temples, thinking to himself, "Little sister, do you want to think this through before you say anything?"

"How did Jiang Heying... become a witch?"

Xiao Qinghuang was furious. "I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake? She even admitted it herself! She killed my senior brothers and sisters. If it weren't for Senior Brother Yan risking his life to protect me and help me escape, I would have..."

Jiang Yi was speechless. Seriously? You guys actually believe that? Are you all idiots?
It was clearly a deliberate act of killing one and letting one go, leaving one survivor to spread the news and lure the others in the secret realm to attack her. How could she fall for such a simple trick?
"Since you haven't met Senior Brother Yan, I'll take my leave now. I need to leave the secret realm as soon as possible and inform my sect elders about this matter."

Xiao Qinghuang suppressed her grief and turned to leave after finishing her sentence.

"and many more!"

Jiang Yi quickly stopped her. If she were to go out and tell everyone, he would be in deep trouble. No matter what, he should explain to this young lady first.

As soon as Jiang Yi moved, Hong Li moved as well, and then the sack behind them suddenly slipped off and rolled down the sand dune.

Once they were within a ten-foot radius of Jiang Yi, the illusion spell was dispelled.

The burlap sack became Yan Kongqing.

When Xiao Qinghuang saw the person on the ground, she was shocked. Her pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, and all the color drained from her face. She slowly raised her head to look at Jiang Yi, her eyes filled with horror.

"Would you believe me if I said I saved him?" Jiang Yi explained awkwardly.

A series of rapid sound waves suddenly exploded, echoing among the sand dunes. Xiao Qinghuang moved like lightning, using the sound waves as cover to rush towards Yan Kongqing, picked up the unconscious Yan Kongqing, and turned to escape.

Red Glass's tail sent out sonic waves, and its fur stood on end. Jiang Yi held its back and watched the staggering figure disappear into the swirling yellow sand.

Slow down, girl, I'm not trying to kill you.

Jiang Yi sighed, her face showing no impatience or worry, because she knew her master was outside, and her master was no fool. Moreover, no matter what her mother was like, she would not allow others to slander her.

The combined intelligence of these two best friends is terrifying; those guys from all the major immortal sects would never be able to outwit them.

“Let’s go, Hongli. We need to keep going. It’s getting late. There’s a place ahead where I saw the remnant soul of an owl before.”

Just as Jiang Yi was about to climb onto Hong Li's back, the sword-nurturing gourd at his waist suddenly trembled violently, and powerful golden-red flames overflowed wildly from the gourd.

The Radiant Spirit Sword?!

Just then, a long, scarlet tongue covered with rivets and barbs suddenly burst out from the yellow sand beneath their feet, splitting in two and wrapping towards Jiang Yi and Hong Li respectively.

Jiang Yi and Hong Li activated their Shadow Escape abilities, retreating to avoid the area of ​​Jiang Yi's illusion technique. Hong Li reverted to her original form as a three-tailed red fire fox, her fur bristling, baring her teeth and growling, as she raised her front paw and unleashed a fiery claw attack.

The long tongue was severed into several pieces by the fiery claws. After stabilizing himself, Jiang Yi looked up and his pupils suddenly contracted.

　The Treasure-Seeking Taoist is from [Lu Xi Donkie], the Rattle Drum Demon is from [Zuo Jia], and Xiao Qinghuang is from [Today is Easy to Forget]. This is their first appearance here, and they will have more opportunities to appear later.
