Junior Sister must ascend this time!

Not long after, the Black Feather Eagle suddenly swooped down towards a stone wall.

That must be its cave. Yun Qing lowered her body and followed it down.

After putting Si Mingche down, Xuan Yuying prepared to swallow him whole, as a Golden Core cultivator was a great tonic.

After landing, Si Mingche finally had a chance to counterattack. He took out his Xuan Sword and was about to attack when he discovered that there were two more big silly birds behind this silly bird!

Defeating a level-two monster isn't difficult for him, but three...

Before they devour him, he must buy some time, hoping that his junior sister can find his senior brother soon and bring him to rescue him.

He swallowed hard, retreated to a relatively safe distance, took out the Thousand Machine Fan, and with a wave of the fan, dozens of talismans flew out towards the Xuan Yu Eagles.

The larger black-feathered eagle flapped its wings, and a gust of wind instantly blew all the talismans away. Si Mingche was also made dizzy and almost fell off the stone wall.

Yun Qing caught him, "It seems that in crucial moments, we still have to rely on your junior sister."

Si Mingche's eyes widened. "Junior Sister...? How did you catch up with me? You can fly on a sword?"

Yun Qing nodded. "Yes, I learned it on the spot."

Si Mingche: He knew there was nothing his junior sister couldn't do! Except for drawing talismans...

Yun Qing walked up to the Xuan Yu Eagle and said with a smile, "My senior brother doesn't taste good, why don't you eat me instead?"

The Xuan Yu Eagle at the very front tilted its head. Someone actually offered it food? Even though it was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, it was better than nothing.

After exchanging glances, the three Xuan Yu Eagles each opened their mouths in a different direction towards Yun Qing.

Yun Qing neither dodged nor evaded, but instead affixed a lightning-attracting talisman to her body. This type of talisman can release the lightning power of the lightning spirit root within her body to the outside.

The moment the sharp beaks of the three black-feathered eagles touched Yun Qing, they screeched and ran away...

Numbness in the mouth!

How come this cultivator's flesh is electrified?!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yun Qing and Si Mingche exchanged a glance and then launched an attack on two of the Xuan Yu Eagles.

With the combined power of the Lifeless Sword and the Thousand Machine Fan, along with Si Mingche's talismans, the two Xuan Yu Eagles quickly collapsed and could not get up.

Yun Qing sheathed her sword and looked at the remaining Xuan Yu Eagle with a smile.

The Xuan Yu Eagle's feathers bristled under her gaze; how could she be even more terrifying than that Golden Core cultivator?

It retreated step by step to the outside of the stone wall, intending to slip away, but Si Mingche quickly put a talisman on it to freeze it in place.

Yun Qing crossed her arms and looked at it, "If you become our mount, I won't kill you."

Xuan Yu Eagle shook its head. How could a dignified demon beast be used as a mount by a cultivator? If word got out, how would it ever be able to survive in the secret realm again?

Yun Qing took out the black iron rod from her storage bag, released its lightning power, and then pressed the rod against the Xuan Yu Eagle.

The Xuan Yu Eagle trembled violently from the electric shock. Yun Qing continued, "And now? Are you still willing to be my mount?"

Xuan Yuying quickly nodded his dim-witted head; losing face was better than losing his life.

Si Mingche, who was standing to the side, seemed to see a hint of moisture in its eyes. Could a good person have come up with such an idea as Junior Sister?

Yun Qing snapped her fingers, and the Xuan Yu Eagle obediently lay down at her feet, waiting for her to come up.

"Third senior brother, come up quickly. We're going to find the eldest senior brother and the others."

Si Mingche then snapped out of his shock and sat on the back of the Xuan Yu Eagle.

This was his first time experiencing flying in mid-air like this. Wow! Exciting! Ah!

The Xuan Yu Eagle is a local demon beast, and it knows exactly where the spiritual treasures and high-level spiritual plants are in the secret realm. Yun Qing and Si Mingche sat on its back and found quite a few spiritual treasures without breaking a sweat.

As Yun Qing was happily tallying up her gains along the way, Si Mingche took out the jade token that the elders had distributed when they entered the secret realm. This jade token could not only be crushed and sent out when in danger, but also allowed people to view the leaderboard of monsters hunted in real time.

Currently, the Immortal Alliance is ranked first, and the Golden Jade Sect is ranked second. However, the rankings for third and fourth place are constantly changing.

Chengtian Sect and Xuanming Sect repeatedly switched between third and fourth place. Chengtian Sect would lead by one point, and Xuanming Sect would catch up by two points, and so on.

Si Mingche was completely bewildered. What were those three doing? No, what were they doing with Jin Yuzong?

"This last monster is mine!"

The jade flute in Jiang Mian's hand had already transformed into the form of a spirit sword. He glanced at Gu Changfeng with disdain, "This time, I'll definitely be faster than you!"

Gu Changfeng retorted, not to be outdone, "Don't even think about it!"

Having said that, his sword strike had already reached the monster when Jiang Mian suddenly threw a meat bun at him, interrupting his spellcasting.

Even though Gu Changfeng knew perfectly well that the steamed bun couldn't hurt him, he still dodged it as if possessed. Jiang Mian took this opportunity to kill the monster with a single sword strike.

Gu Changfeng: "Jiang Mian!! Why did you bring steamed buns into the secret realm?!"

"Sure, can't I eat it?"

Jiang Mian said matter-of-factly, "I won! You're far from qualified to compare with my senior brother."

"Whether I'm qualified or not isn't for you to decide!" Gu Changfeng angrily raised his sword and thrust it at Jiang Mian. "Since that's the case, I'll show you my true strength!"

Gu Changfeng's natal magic weapon is the Xuan Ying Sword, which is characterized by speed, coldness, and unpredictability.

With the Xuan Ying Sword pointed at Jiang Mian's face, he remained calm, transforming the string light into a jade flute, which he then placed to his lips and played a melodious and ethereal tune.

Gu Changfeng suddenly slowed down, and then unconsciously stared into Jiang Mian's emerald green eyes.

The next second, he found himself competing with Pei Shubai. He gave it his all, and Pei Shubai countered his moves. He had a particularly exhilarating battle.

Finally, with a single move, he knocked Pei Shubai's spirit sword away. Pei Shubai bowed to him and said, "Gu Changfeng, you are truly amazing. I concede defeat!"

Gu Changfeng couldn't help but burst out laughing, hands on his hips, shouting, "Hahahaha! I won! Pei Shubai, you've finally met your match! I'm just better than you!"

Yun Qing and Si Mingche stood beside Jiang Mian, watching him brandish his sword and laugh strangely. Their lips twitched. "Tsk, how did a perfectly normal person go crazy?"

Yun Qing thoughtfully recorded this scene with a memory stone so that her senior brother could see it when he was unhappy.

Yun Qing glanced at the corpses of demonic beasts scattered everywhere, then turned to Jiang Mian, "You killed all of these? And what's the story with Gu Changfeng?"

When Yun Qing and Si Mingche rode down on the Xuan Yu Eagle, Jiang Mian put away the jade flute and, after sorting out the sequence of events, said, "When I entered the secret realm, I encountered Gu Changfeng. He kept asking me where my senior brother was, saying he wanted to fight him."

"I also want to know where Senior Brother is. I got annoyed by Gu Changfeng's questions, so I told him that if he wanted to fight Senior Brother, he would have to get past me first. Then he went and raided a monster's lair and made a bet with me that if he killed more monsters than I did, I would have to take him to find Senior Brother."

Jiang Mian pointed to Gu Changfeng, who was still in the illusion, and continued, "But this guy is unreasonable. I killed the last monster. He wouldn't admit it and even tried to hit me, so I threw him into the illusion."
