Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

At the Great Gate Plaza of the Wilderness Ruins, just a quarter of an hour before the gates were to close.

"Why hasn't Brother Si come out yet?" Third Senior Brother Chang Yan looked anxiously at the gate of the ruins.

Shen Qianhe's face was cold and her expression was serious.

Two months had passed without any news of Yu Buyan. If she hadn't asked her senior brother and learned that his life lamp was still burning, she probably would have disregarded everything and turned this site upside down!

Luo Yiyi held the white cat with golden stripes shimmering between its brows in her arms, her expression quite calm. "Don't worry, Third Senior Brother, Yu Xian isn't a child."

"The gates of Kesi are closing," Chang Yan said.

Shen Qianhe said calmly, "Wait a little longer. If Junior Brother still hasn't come out, then I'll go in and blow up this desolate place!"

Luo Yiyi:.......

She said, "Senior sister, Yu Xian is really alright, Xiao Guai said so."

Shen Qianhe withdrew her gaze and turned her eyes to the white cat lying lazily in her arms, the golden mark between its brows gone.

This cat was raised by the master before he became a god. It possesses extraordinary abilities and knows everything about the world. It can even find rare and exotic herbs and flowers that have disappeared from the world.

Luo Yiyi's current status as a renowned medicine master owes much to this.

Hearing this, Shen Qianhe felt a little relieved.

The plaza in front of the gate to the Wilderness Ruins was already packed with people, all discussing what opportunities they had found within the ruins.

"...How are you? What opportunity did you gain in the ruins?"

"I contracted a spirit beast inside! And it's a high-level one! You couldn't buy that outside for even ten thousand top-grade spirit stones!"

"Wow! Can you summon it and show it to us?"

"certainly!"

The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect surrounded a disciple who had retrieved his spirit beast, showering him with praise. Lu Haotian, who was forced to crush his jade pendant the very next day, grew increasingly angry as he listened, his gaze fixed fiercely on the gate of the ruins that was about to close.

Xiao Wuli would be better off dying inside, never to come out again!

"The spiritual energy inside the ruins is indeed denser than outside. In just two months, I, who had been stuck at the early stage of the Golden Core realm for a long time, have broken through to the middle stage!"

"Wow! Really! Your spiritual energy is much stronger than before you went in!"

"Me too! My cultivation has improved significantly. I'll be able to advance from the early Golden Core stage to the mid-Golden Core stage in less than ten years!"

Lu Haotian, who was in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, turned his head with bloodshot eyes to look at the disciples who were talking together.

Someone noticed and immediately shushed them.

"Keep your voice down, don't let Senior Brother Lu hear you."

"What's wrong with Senior Brother Lu?"

"I heard," one of the informants said in a low voice, "that Senior Brother Lu crushed the jade pendant and came out the next day, without gaining any opportunities."

"Crack—" Lu Haotian cracked his knuckles, and the others quickly scattered upon seeing this.

Lu Haotian's gaze was gloomy as he looked at those around him who were originally inferior to him but had surpassed him after two months. He was filled with resentment and his ruthlessness towards Xiao Wuli surged like a tidal wave.

Why should I?!

He was just a good-for-nothing who luckily made it to the final duel at the sect tournament, only to cheat and defeat him using a high-level technique! If it were fair and square, how could a mere mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator possibly defeat a fully-fledged Golden Core cultivator!

"The gate is closing!"

Someone in the square said those words. Lu Haotian's gaze subconsciously swept over everyone in the Lingxiao Sect. Seeing the anxiety on their faces, he slowly grinned and began to gloat.

It's not a skill to stay in the wilderness ruins; the real skill is to come out alive!

Lock them up, let them die inside, be torn apart by wild beasts, and turn into bones!

Liu Yuye, standing in the Hehuan Sect crowd, looked anxiously at the massive black iron gate that was slowly closing with a rumbling sound, and tiptoed inside.

Could the strange phenomenon in the sky that day really have been caused by Chi Buwan and his apprentice?

What happened? Why haven't they come out yet?

"Master, Immortal Jade Venerable and his disciples have not yet come out," Sheng Weichen said.

The people in the square were all at least Golden Core cultivators, and they could hear everything. Upon hearing this, they all turned to look at the place where the Lingxiao Sect was gathered, and sure enough, they did not see the figure of the number one beauty in the Three Realms.

"Is Jade Immortal Venerable going to be imprisoned inside?"

"The center of the ruins is teeming with monsters. Could something have happened to the Immortal Venerable?"

"The gates to the wilderness are closing!!"

The giant gate was now only a crack, and the overflowing chaotic energy swirled up the rubble, but there was still no sign of the two figures.

"It's all over! Immortal Venerable Jade is really going to be locked up inside!"

Luo Yiyi, who had been calm, also turned cold. Seeing her senior sister summon her spiritual weapon, the long whip, and her third senior brother set up the furnace, she quickly followed suit. Instantly, the sky sensed the fury of the two Mahayana stage cultivators, and the sky darkened.

Suddenly, a tiger's roar that shook the depths of the ruins resounded for miles! The disciples on the plaza were so shocked that they covered their ears and turned pale.

The next second, a golden-striped white tiger appeared in the air above the Wilderness Ruins Plaza like an arrow released from a bow. On the tiger's back, Chi Buwan was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe. His black hair was blown wildly by the air currents. His cold and beautiful face was covered with a little dust, but it did not diminish his fairy-like aura in the slightest.

His left hand rested casually on Hu Jin, the spiritual energy still lingering on his fingertips, while his right hand gently pressed on the arm of the man behind him who was half a head taller than him.

The golden-striped white tiger hovered steadily in mid-air, its massive body blotting out the sky and casting a shadow that enveloped the earth.

The square was silent until the gate to the ruins was completely sealed shut with a loud bang. Only then did everyone slowly come back to their senses, staring in shock at the two people and the tiger above. Some people recognized the two people on the tiger's back.

"The Jade Immortal Venerable and his disciple Xiao Wuli atop the tiger's back!"

"Xiao Wuli...has reached the late Nascent Soul stage?"

"How is this possible! It took the Grand Elder of the Lingxiao Sect a hundred years to advance from the Golden Core stage to the late Nascent Soul stage, and he only spent two months doing so. How could he have broken through from the Golden Core stage to the late Nascent Soul stage?!"

"Wait a minute, the golden-striped white tiger that Immortal Jade Venerable is riding... with golden fur, green eyes, and antlers, it's a divine beast, the ancient divine beast Xuanqi!!"

"What?!"

"!! Nobody recognized it! The sword on Xiao Wuli's back is the Heavenly Profound Sword! The divine sword that once slew a god!"

"......"

Incredulous voices rose and fell below. Xuanqi heard the voices praising him and proudly raised his head.

You do have some sense; you know who I am.

However, its joy lasted only a second before a slap landed on its head.

It screamed in agony.

Chi Buwan was furious and punched it on the head again.

Dead cat!

They fainted at the critical moment. If it weren't for the system's speed boost, they would have been trapped inside for three years!

Chi Buwan loosened his grip on Xiao Wuli's arm and pulled it to the ground by the scruff of its neck.

Even though the tiger Xuanqi was fuming, it landed very cautiously.

"Brother Si!"

Just as Chi Buwan stood on the ground, he heard the sound and looked up. Suddenly, he was hugged tightly, and a large hand patted his back forcefully.

"Brother Si! I thought you wouldn't make it out!" Third Senior Brother Chang Yan said, tears streaming down his face.

Chi Buwan, whose heart, liver, and lungs had almost been slapped out, coughed and quickly said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Alright, it's good that you're out safely." Shen Qianhe pulled Chang Yan away, looking at his spineless appearance with some helplessness.

Chang Yan noticed everyone's gaze, covered her face and wiped away her tears, saying shyly, "My Zisi is a bit sexy."

Is it too late?.........

Shen Qianhe's gaze fell on the majestic divine beast, and he paused for a moment. Then, it fell on Xiao Wuli, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, and he paused again. Finally, it fell on the Heavenly Profound Sword behind him, and he paused once more. He asked, "This is... Jade Immortal, what did you encounter in the ruins?"

Chi Buwan glanced at the hundreds of round eyes behind them, and then said, "Senior Sister, we'll talk about this later."

Shen Qianhe realized what was happening and nodded, "Alright."
