Five Immortals Gate

#2175 - The Secret of Mei Hongyu

The entire mountain path was deathly silent, with only the thick fog churning around…

Li Yan and Mei Hongyu behind him didn't speak either, both waiting for the next attack.

Time passed slowly, but the torrential attacks from before never came again. While remaining vigilant, Li Yan was also rapidly thinking of countermeasures.

“How did you sense the true attacks earlier?”

After a while, Li Yan transmitted his voice to Mei Hongyu without turning his head.

Mei Hongyu still looked tense. Although the blood-red dressed little girl's attack had been blocked by Li Yan, it had filled her heart with helplessness and despair.

At the same time, she didn't know if Li Yan could block the subsequent attacks. Even if she could sense the opponent's sudden appearance, she wouldn't be able to dodge it.

When Li Yan was previously killing those cyan light figures, although the fighting seemed intense to her, it hadn't put them in danger.

But now, in such a short time, Li Yan was being forced into repeated peril. Even the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat, completely different from his previous ease.

Mei Hongyu was also wholeheartedly sensing the surroundings, afraid that the opponent's ghost-like attacks would suddenly strike again.

If Li Yan couldn't block it, she would also die instantly.

Suddenly hearing Li Yan's question, she seemed to wake up from her tense exploration of the surroundings. After a moment of stunned silence, Mei Hongyu quickly replied.

“It's not divine sense. Here, the range my divine sense can explore is only about the same as my eyesight, and I can't distinguish between real and fake attacks.

It's… it's a feeling in my heart, like I sense a fatal attack coming from that direction!”

After hearing this, Li Yan's eyes flickered several times, his mind racing.

“Not divine sense, but her intuition. That must be it…”

Li Yan's own divine sense was being misled. The opponent's deceptive attacks created noises almost every time to distract him.

Among them, there were indeed real attacks, but those two hidden attacks were too strange. Li Yan didn't notice them at all until the moment they were upon him.

“Have you experienced similar situations before when facing danger, Fairy?”

Li Yan asked again, wondering why Mei Hongyu had such a feeling.

Some people have an almost beast-like intuition for life and death, which is a mysterious and unexplainable phenomenon.

Or, some cultivators possess unique magical treasures that can achieve such amazing effects.

Li Yan had experienced ups and downs and had been through many life-and-death situations. He would also develop a corresponding sense of danger at the last moment when his life was threatened.

However, the blood-red dressed little girl's speed was too fast, almost comparable to his 'Phoenix Soaring to the Sky,' and in this restricted environment, Li Yan's divine sense couldn't spread out over a large area.

By the time he sensed something, the opponent had already attacked him. This made Li Yan's usually keen sense of life and death feel as if it was being restricted to the limit here.

Mei Hongyu's ability to provide such acute warnings might involve her possessing some kind of magical treasure, which Li Yan shouldn't have asked about.

But after the series of dangers just now, Li Yan had no choice but to ask the question in his heart. He needed to confirm some things about Mei Hongyu so that the two of them would have a better chance of survival.

“Yes, but it's not intuition. It should be related to my constitution!”

Mei Hongyu's answer was unexpected. It wasn't a beast-like intuition or a magical treasure protecting her, but related to her constitution.

The cultivator who could create such a ferocious puppet must have unfathomable strength, but we still have one piece of good news. From the current situation, this little girl doesn't seem to have any other helpers…”

Li Yan stopped speaking here and quickly looked around again.

Hearing Li Yan's voice transmission, Mei Hongyu didn't continue to ask about her details, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

She hadn't told Li Yan the truth. Her inexplicable sense of danger actually appeared after she cultivated the 'Wind Clarity Art.'

Before she cultivated this technique, she had long been tested to have a mutated wind-attributed spiritual root, but her sense of danger had always been pitifully weak.

She could only rely on the crisis of life and death, or divine sense to judge, which was no different from other cultivators. In other words, it relied on experience and her own strength to sense.

But since she cultivated the 'Wind Clarity Art,' her sense of various dangers had greatly increased, which allowed her to avoid too many dangers.

Including in the great calamity war on the Barren Moon Continent, Mei Hongyu was able to be transferred to fight the demons everywhere from the beginning of the war and not die.

In the end, she participated in that great decisive battle, and the reason she miraculously survived was because of this sense of danger!

Otherwise, with the kind of technique she originally cultivated, in the face of powerful demons and foreign cultivators, the chance of surviving in repeated battles would have been too low.

Moreover, that earth-shattering decisive battle ultimately evolved into a chaotic free-for-all. There was no pretense of one-on-one fairness; it was all about using any and all means to kill every enemy in sight.

And her unique perception, especially after she formed her Nascent Soul, infinitely amplified her ability to sense danger in her surroundings.

This allowed Mei Hongyu to escape even from cultivators at the Transformation God stage who harbored malicious intentions during her later trials, as she sensed them in advance.

This made her even more aware of how powerful the master who had imparted her cultivation technique was. He clearly knew that she would face many tribulations and that she was without any support.

Yet, he was certain that she would survive. And in one dangerous situation after another, she really never died. Hopefully, this time will be the same!

Of course, she was also equally clear about one thing: all of this was related to her spiritual root; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to successfully cultivate the "Wind Manifestation Art."

Whenever danger approached, the spiritual power within Mei Hongyu's body would suddenly stir like a gust of wind, rapidly blowing in a certain direction.

This caused her mind to "drift" in that direction for a fleeting moment. Of course, this drifting was invisible to outsiders; it was an internal movement.

It was as if a force was pulling Mei Hongyu, wanting her to quickly evade in a certain direction, but ultimately, everything still had to be decided by her.

Otherwise, if the technique was uncontrollable, Mei Hongyu would have stopped cultivating it long ago. Instead, she would have tried every means to completely eliminate this cultivated spiritual power from her body.

And the opposite direction in which the spiritual power within Mei Hongyu's body "drifted" was often where a dangerous attack would appear. This was why the "wind"-shaped spiritual power within her was "blown" to the opposite side.

Especially when Mei Hongyu focused her energy to circulate her spiritual power, her perception of surrounding dangers would become even stronger and clearer, and the wind would appear more quickly to warn her.

After encountering that little girl in the blood-red dress earlier, Mei Hongyu naturally knew that her appearance here was completely abnormal, and she immediately became fully alert.

And this allowed her perception of danger here to be even stronger than Li Yan's. You must know that Li Yan's perception of danger has always been something he was quite confident about.

Instead, it was usually him who reminded his companions. This time, it was thanks to Mei Hongyu's reminder. This matter has always been a secret for Mei Hongyu.

Only her deceased Dao companion knew about it, as it involved the technique taught by that mysterious master. This made Mei Hongyu never mention it to others.

After hearing half of Li Yan's voice transmission, Mei Hongyu suddenly stopped talking and looked around again. Mei Hongyu couldn't help but become nervous again.

She understood the meaning in Li Yan's words just now. If that little girl had helpers, it was likely to be the cultivator who refined her.

This little girl's strength had already become terrifying to this extent, so wouldn't the cultivator who refined her be able to kill them both at any time?

Therefore, after Li Yan spoke halfway, he began to investigate again. Mei Hongyu also quickly circulated the spiritual power in her body…

After a while, the entire mountain path was still deathly silent. Li Yan leaned against the mountain wall, and he turned his head to look at Mei Hongyu behind him.

And Mei Hongyu's almond-shaped eyes also happened to be looking at Li Yan at this time. Looking at Li Yan's star-like eyes, Mei Hongyu couldn't help but feel her heart beat faster, and a blush rose on her face.

"No… No! There is no such sense of danger appearing for the time being!"

Mei Hongyu said in a low voice, biting her red lips.

"Since the other party has not launched an attack again, we can't wait here any longer. We need to continue moving forward and leave this place.

That little girl may have been injured by my last strike, but I can be sure that those injuries should not have much impact on her strength.

It seems that she knows that she can't easily take us down, so she chose to hide herself, wanting to find a better opportunity to ambush us.

If this guess is correct, then we will not encounter such a strong attack as just now for the time being.

Previously, that little girl chose to block the road and kill us forcefully because she felt confident.

Seeing that her continuous forced attacks all failed one by one, the meaning of continuing to attack like this would not be great. Instead, it would aggravate her injuries, so she temporarily stopped the ambush.

And this place may have once been a blessed land, where a powerful cultivator lived. Later, perhaps something happened, which made this place worthless!

And that powerful cultivator should no longer be here, or in other words, he fell because of that change, but he also left the restriction at this entrance.

At the same time, there was also a puppet with extremely strong strength and intelligence by the side of that powerful cultivator. Only in this way can the various contradictions and conflicts here be explained.

Otherwise, this Qingguang space is not worth having such power to guard it. Whether it is the black light vortex or the little girl, they are too strong.

If that powerful cultivator still exists, we would have been killed or captured by now. After all, if that little girl failed to attack us, he would have to take action himself.

All the combat power of the little girl in the blood-red dress should be provided by the formations engraved in her body. As long as there are enough spirit stones, it's fine, so it's not for the sake of honing her!

Fairy Mei's perception is very strong. In the following journey, as long as you find any abnormality, just remind me quickly like before, just tell me the direction!"
