Chapter 718 Twists and Turns 2
Yunxi and Xunkun released their divine senses almost simultaneously, and then saw a large spaceship being attacked by a swarm of mutated bats. The spaceship's protective shield had begun to flash, indicating that they had been under siege for quite some time.

Meanwhile, the mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator who was stationed on the large spaceship has already appeared in the swarm of bats and is attacking the densely packed, crazed bats. It seems that he should be able to protect the spaceship for now.

Yunxi then withdrew her divine sense and said:
"If they can handle it, then we shouldn't interfere."

Xun Kun shared the same thought. They weren't going to stand by and watch someone die; if the other party could handle it, there was no need for them to intervene.

However, things often don't go as planned. A small squadron of several hundred bats broke off from the swarm attacking the large spaceship and swarmed towards their airship with a clear objective.

Yunxi narrowed her eyes, sensing that these corrupted bats were definitely coming for them. Xun Kun felt the same way. The two exchanged a glance and then turned their gaze to Liao Ziqian. The little guy was a bit frightened and subconsciously retreated to Xun Kun's side.

"Xun Kun, you guard the flying boat, I'll take care of those trash."

After saying that, he flashed away from the flying boat.

She didn't even summon her natal magic weapon; she simply waved her sleeve and unfurled a massive lightning net that enveloped hundreds of bats. The collision of purple lightning and evil energy illuminated half the sky, and then the bats lost consciousness like dumplings being dropped into a pot, falling from the sky.

Yunxi resolved the trouble in front of her with a single move, casually collected the two bats, and returned to the flying boat. At this moment, Liao Ziqian's gaze towards Yunxi changed, and he couldn't hide his admiring look.

Just as Yunxi was about to study the bats controlled by the evil artifact, the guards on the airship ahead asked them for help.

"Senior, could you lend a hand? These corrupted demonic beasts are really troublesome. The spaceship's protective shield is about to be breached. I am willing to offer the spirit stones used to guard the ship as a token of my gratitude."

Yun Xi didn't even raise her head, and said to Xun Kun beside her:
"Check the situation carefully, don't get entangled with them. If you do take action, remember to get your payment back."

Xun Kun did not refute, and the fact that the two of them each made a move was also meant to intimidate, so he flashed out of the flying boat, leaving Liao Ziqian to Yun Xi.

Xun Kun stood suspended in mid-air, and with just a shake of the Soul Bell, the bats that were frantically attacking the spaceship's protective shield seemed to be disturbed, instantly becoming headless flies, attacking each other in complete chaos.

After the bat swarm had killed more than half of them, Xun Kun waved his hand and unleashed a whip made of dark spiritual energy. The black whip nimbly darted into the remaining bats and, without hesitation, pulled out the bats' inner cores. As the last bat fell, the bat swarm around the spaceship was wiped out.

The cultivator who had called for help earlier swallowed hard. He hadn't expected that there would be two Nascent Soul cultivators on such a small flying boat. He had originally wanted to ask the young-looking female cultivator for help, but it turned out that it was this demonic cultivator who had relieved their predicament.

At this moment, the other person's bright black eyes were fixed on him, and they spoke indifferently:

"remuneration!"

The male cultivator promptly presented a storage ring and respectfully thanked him.
"Thank you for your help, Your Excellency."

Xun Kun took the spirit stones inside, tossed the storage ring back to the other party, and said calmly:
"Move faster, don't linger here."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Although the male cultivator felt a pang of regret, he didn't want to be surrounded again. After retrieving his empty storage ring, he flashed back to his spaceship. As Xun Kun returned to his own flying boat, the spaceship also began to accelerate, and soon disappeared from the four people's sight.

Xun Kun gave the spirit stones he had collected directly to Yun Xi, who accepted them without hesitation. Then she gave Xun Kun a bunch of bottles and jars, including pills and potions, which Xun Kun accepted naturally. He knew that Yun Xi never wanted to take advantage of others.

Han Yang, who was standing to the side, was drooling with envy. He also moved closer to Yun Xi, wanting to exchange for some high-level potions. He was the most qualified to comment on the effectiveness of Yun Xi's potions, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to regain her lost cultivation in such a short time.

The previous potion was a reward from Yunxi for helping him, since he had also taken the risk. Now he only wants to exchange it for spirit stones, as it can be a lifesaver in critical moments.

Yunxi did not refuse Hanyang's request to buy potions. She selected several potions and pills suitable for him to trade. Although Hanyang's storage ring was almost half empty, he was very satisfied because the potions were so effective.

After this incident, the rest of the journey went smoothly, and they arrived at Hanjie City safely ten days later.

At this time, the number of cultivators entering and leaving Han Jie City was frighteningly large, including human cultivators, demon cultivators, devil cultivators, Buddhist cultivators, and even ghost cultivators.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Yunxi whispered a few words to Hanyang. Hanyang was stunned for a moment, but still nodded. Xunkun awkwardly picked up Liao Ziqian, paid the entrance fee, and entered Hanjie City. Passing through this city would lead to the border entrance of the Demon Realm.

The three of them followed the flow of people through Han Jie City. An hour later, they exited through the other city gate and stepped into the territory of the Demon Realm.

Yunxi clearly felt that the demonic energy in the air had become much denser, while Xunkun felt that his whole body had relaxed. After putting Liao Ziqian down, he led them into the barrier of the demonic realm, the Nine-Bend Mountain.

"Ranxi, only by passing through the Nine-Bend Mountain can you truly enter the Demon Realm. This is the barrier between the Demon Realm and other realms. As the name suggests, the Nine-Bend Mountain has nine bends and eighteen turns, and it is easy to get lost without a guide."

Most importantly, once you enter this place, you will be prohibited from flying, as if you have entered a land devoid of spirits. You will be unable to use any magical artifacts, and the only option is to leave Jiuqu Mountain as soon as possible.

Countless cultivators perish trapped on Mount Jiuqu every year. You'd better prepare a storage pendant and put all your defensive items inside, so you won't be unable to retrieve them when you need them. Also, you must keep up with me and not fall behind.”

After saying that, he put a fasting pill into Liao Ziqian's mouth to ensure that he would not need to eat anything before leaving Jiuqu Mountain. Yun Xi and Han Yang did the same. Although they had already fasted, they also ate a high-level fasting pill just in case. They put some important supplies into their storage pouches, and a quarter of an hour later they officially stepped into Jiuqu Mountain.

Upon entering Jiuqu Mountain, Yunxi felt her spiritual energy being suppressed, retreating back into her meridians and dantian. She tried to mobilize her spiritual energy, but received no response.

Xun Kun explained in a low voice:
“I have checked the records about Mount Jiuqu. It should be that a powerful figure from the Demon Realm set up an array in the mountain, which is why it can suppress the cultivation level of cultivators who enter. If a cultivator with bad intentions were to break into the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm would have a chance to react.”

Yunxi and Hanyang listened very carefully, as did Liao Ziqian, who had short legs. From now on, the Demon Realm would be his place of cultivation.

After traveling a third of the way, a group of burly cultivators blocked their path. Yunxi glanced at them and immediately realized that they were body cultivators.
