One of my fairy-like friends

"Does the Holy Maiden understand Gu Hanshuang?" Mingyan thought for a moment, but couldn't find any common ground, so he had no choice but to ask this question.

“I don’t know her very well. I only know that she has the Tai’a Body, is naturally close to weapons, and is the number one genius in Nanzhou.” Ning Feixuan shook her head. “I have never seen her fight, but when she had murderous intent towards you before, I could feel the surging sword intent... This person’s strength is probably beyond our imagination.”

Gu Hanshuang's terrifying power goes without saying, but Ming Yan was just making conversation out of boredom, so it's a bit difficult to respond now.

It was a bit awkward... Fortunately, Huang Feiyan chimed in, "Several geniuses have also come from the Northern Continent, including some at the Divine Palace Realm. Our cultivation levels are really not among the top here."

Huang Feiyan spoke with a hint of self-deprecation. Her cultivation had been delayed because she had wasted too much time searching for a cure for her aunt, Huang Qingfei. At this moment, she had only recently broken through to the Qi Sea stage.

"That's not how it works. You wouldn't necessarily be at a disadvantage against the Divine Palace." Ning Feixuan shook her head. The Phoenix Clan's "Extreme Nirvana Scripture" is a famous combat-focused mental manual. It has unparalleled offensive capabilities on one hand and a self-healing ability comparable to Nirvana on the other. When the two are combined, few can rival it among those of the same realm.

Moreover, the Huang family's foundation is far richer than that of most holy land families. Even if Huang Feiyan's cultivation was indeed delayed, it did not affect her actual combat power. With a series of enhancements, she became one of the top geniuses in the Eastern Continent.

In terms of offensive techniques, Yue Qingying's "Moon Shadow Scripture" is absolutely top-notch. It is very good at killing with one blow. Although she cannot wear down her opponent under normal circumstances, if she finds an opportunity, she can also kill her opponent with one blow.

As for Ning Feixuan herself, she possesses a Western Spirit Body. While the Western Spirit Body is quite mysterious, Ning Feixuan had already defeated a rather famous genius from the Eastern Continent back when she was still in Yangling. At that time, her Qi Sea was at its full level...

The four people present were all capable of defeating enemies beyond their level, so their talent was definitely not lacking. Ning Feixuan and Yue Qingying had only reached a bottleneck in their cultivation. If they were lucky, they could break through now, and then they would become two Divine Realm experts.

Huang Feiyan shook her head. "It's true that we're not as good as others in terms of cultivation level, but you and Qingying might be able to break through in this small world. Once you two reach the Divine Palace, the four of us won't be at a disadvantage in the future competition."

With two Divine Gates, a Qi Sea at full level, and Ming Yan whose true combat strength is worth pondering, this small group of four is so powerful that even Gu Han Shuang would probably have to avoid their sharp edge.

“Someone is approaching.” Yue Qingying narrowed her eyes. The “Moon Shadow Scripture” she cultivated emphasized killing and concealment, making her exceptionally sensitive to the surrounding atmosphere. She could sense that other auras were approaching.

As dusk approached, the other three became increasingly cautious upon hearing this. In this small world, severely injuring the opponent would result in their being teleported out, which would naturally mean one less competitor. Therefore, encountering other people here was rarely a good thing.

"Wait! It doesn't seem human?!" Yue Qingying's expression changed slightly as she sensed danger. Ming Yan also smelled a strange odor in the air, the scent of some ferocious beast. His expression also changed. "What kind of ferocious beast is this..."

Huang Feiyan narrowed her eyes, which shone with a dazzling red light. She looked around and then gasped. She saw a snake head the size of a small mountain. The scales on the snake head were cold and sinister, and its eyes were cold and eerie. It gently stuck out its tongue and carried a bloody smell.

It was a giant python, its size unknown. It approached them silently. If Yue Qingying hadn't discovered it in time, the four of them might have been injured or even killed. This python was at least a ferocious beast at the Divine Sealing Realm. Huang Feiyan felt a chill run down her spine as it stared at her.

"Run!" Huang Feiyan quickly notified the other three. All four of them were fast. Ming Yan reached out and grabbed Yue Qingying. Ning Feixuan saw that the two had reacted and took the first step out.

Upon realizing it had been discovered, the giant python let out a piercing hiss and immediately chased after the four of them at an extremely fast speed!

Fortunately, all four of them had learned the "Star Gap" technique, otherwise they would probably have been caught up by the giant python very soon.

It was late at night. Although there was no sun or moon in the sky, there was still day and night. The sky was dark, and it was impossible to see the whole body of the giant python. Just the stench emanating from its head was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Of the four, Mingyan was the slowest. He was holding hands with Yue Qingying, which actually slowed her down. As the giant python drew closer, Mingyan grew anxious and let go of Yue Qingying's hand. "Senior sister, you go with the others first. I'll lure it away!"

"No!" Yue Qingying panicked upon hearing this and quickly reached out to grab Mingyan's hand. Mingyan's speed was clearly inferior to that of the giant python. If this continued, they would probably be caught sooner or later. How could she give up on Mingyan!

"Senior sister, having me with you is just a burden. We'll never be able to shake it off if this continues." Mingyan quickly said, "I have a way to get rid of it. All we need to do is make it chase after me. Trust me."

"No!" Yue Qingying gripped Mingyan's hand tightly, refusing to let go no matter what. Huang Feiyan and Ning Feixuan, standing to the side, also disagreed with Mingyan taking the risk.

Huang Feiyan frowned and transmitted her voice to the others, saying, "This giant python must be a ferocious beast of the Divine Sealing Realm. We cannot fight it by force. We need to find a way to shake it off."

She moved with incredible speed, her body radiating a faint red glow that felt quite hot, clearly indicating that she was practicing the Phoenix Clan's Ultimate Nirvana Scripture.

Ning Feixuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly slowed her pace. "I'll go distract it."

The other three were all moving extremely fast. Ning Feixuan suddenly stopped and fell behind her in an instant. The giant python quickly approached her. Seeing this, Ming Yan was anxious. He quickly broke free from Yue Qingying's hand and stepped on the star gap to approach the giant python at an even faster speed. A flash appeared in his dantian, and the dragon tendon appeared in his hand. He swung it and smashed it on the snake's head, making a metallic clanging sound.

Ning Feixuan was stunned when she saw Ming Yan suddenly rush over. The giant python was also clearly astonished. How dare this fragile prey turn its head and hurt it? The giant python was unusually angry. Although it was only a little dizzy from being hit by that hard object, it was not injured. However, this person dared to challenge its dignity, which made it extremely angry.

Mingyan turned around and ran in another direction. Ning Feixuan seemed to understand Mingyan's thoughts and actually followed him.

"Your cultivation is still shallow! Don't be reckless!" Ning Feixuan said anxiously. Although she didn't want to get entangled with Ming Yan, she also didn't want him to do anything rash and put himself in danger.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: This Ming Yan Actually Used Underhanded Tactics

"Holy Maiden, go back. I'm confident!" Ming Yan shook his head. The giant python chased after him without stopping. Ning Feixuan was anxious and wanted to lure the python away, but the python was furious after being hit on the head by Ming Yan earlier. Now it only had eyes for Ming Yan and ignored Ning Feixuan, chasing after him directly.

Ning Feixuan could only worry helplessly. She stood there, sighed deeply, and could only hope that Mingyan would not be in danger.

At this moment, Yue Qingying and Huang Feiyan also flew over. Yue Qingying's face was gloomy, and Huang Feiyan's face was not good either. She was very worried, "Will Mingyan be in trouble?"

Yue Qingying took a deep breath and calmed down. "I believe my junior brother will have a solution... Let's not go too far, otherwise it will be difficult to meet again. Let's wait for him here. He will definitely come back after he gets rid of that giant python."

At this moment, Mingyan was rapidly operating through the star gap, pushing the speed to its maximum.

But the python was too fast. If he hadn't been hit with the stick and made a little dizzy, allowing him to create some distance, Mingyan would probably have already been caught up by it.

This reminded Mingyan of that pitiful yet hateful unlucky fellow who tried to shift the blame... He wondered if he had shaken off that ferocious beast.

Mingyan remembered that there were several dense forests around the plains where they were now.

Those dense forests are extremely tall. As long as we lure it into the dense forest, away from the giant python's sight, and then run the "?", we might have a chance to shake it off.

Mingyan had a plan in mind. He would use the Star Gap again when he was running the "?" situation, and his speed would reach an extremely terrifying level. There were too many people, and the target would be too big. If even one of them was caught, it would be all for nothing.

Moreover, given his current level of cultivation, his speed is inferior to the other three. Although he can activate the "?" secret technique, what will happen afterward? Sooner or later, he will become a burden to them. It would be better to use his slower speed to lure them away and then find a way to shake them off, at least ensuring their safety.

Mingyan was not as fast as his opponent, but he did not rashly activate the "?" secret technique. Although the side effect of the "?" secret technique was only exhaustion, exhaustion under such circumstances would undoubtedly turn him into a lamb to the slaughter and make him food for that giant python.

But as he ran, Mingyan saw a familiar figure. He was surprised for a moment, then laughed. Wasn't that Little Kunpeng King?

"Mingyan?!" Little Kunpeng King hovered in mid-air. He had just noticed the ground shaking slightly and was taking off to observe the surrounding situation when he discovered Mingyan flying over from a distance.

The sky was dark. Although Little Kunpeng King sensed something, he couldn't see what was following Mingyan. The giant python was still some distance away from Mingyan.

"Little Kunpeng King, prepare to die!" Ming Yan's face was cold as he activated the Wind Spirit Scripture. The surrounding breeze began to sway, becoming sharp and carrying a faint chill that was biting to the bone. Ming Yan's hands transformed into swords, which he enhanced with the power of Taiyin and strengthened himself with the Wind Spirit Scripture, instantly closing in.

"Hmph! You're courting death!" Little Kunpeng King, not seeing Ning Feixuan, sneered. Now was the perfect opportunity to kill Ming Yan. He unleashed his aura, revealing his powerful cultivation at the Divine Realm. "Crushing you is no different than crushing an ant!"

Mingyan seemed to be planning to fight him head-on. Little Kunpeng King's hair flew wildly as he stood still, coldly watching Mingyan, waiting for Mingyan to come to him. But as soon as he raised his hand to deal with Mingyan, he found that Mingyan simply walked past him and ran away.

"?" Little Kunpeng King turned around and looked at Ming Yan's back, feeling a little confused. Ming Yan dared to confront him head-on back then, shouldn't he be a coward? Why is he behaving like this now?

Little Kunpeng King didn't rush after him, worried that Ming Yan might play a trick and suddenly turn around to attack. But as Ming Yan ran further and further away, Little Kunpeng King's doubts grew stronger. Had this person really escaped?!

"That coward!" Little Kunpeng King was furious when he saw Ming Yan flee without looking back. He was about to chase after him when he sensed something approaching from behind. He frowned slightly. Sure enough! This person had played a trick!

Little Kunpeng King snorted coldly, his aura erupted, and he formed hand seals, directly confronting the thing approaching from behind.

The Kunpeng phenomenon crashed into the person behind him, producing a harsh metallic scraping sound. Hmm? Something's not right.

Little Kunpeng King turned around and was immediately shocked. Holy crap, this isn't Mingyan at all! This is clearly a colossal python that reaches the heavens! Its body is of unknown size, and its head alone is like a small mountain! Its scales, gleaming with a cold, eerie light, are like blades that will take a life, making people tremble with fear.

The night in the small world was very dark, and it was impossible to see far away. When Mingyan approached, he only saw the Little Kunpeng King's body flashing with light, and that's when he saw him clearly. When Mingyan ran away, his body also flashed with a blue light, which was the color when he was running the Wind Spirit Scripture, so the Little Kunpeng King also saw Mingyan at a glance.

Although the giant python was crawling on the ground and causing a great tremor, the little Kunpeng King was suspended in the air and didn't feel the tremors much. Moreover, after seeing Ming Yan, he was so excited that he momentarily overlooked the fact that the giant python had gotten so close!

This giant python possessed a method of concealment. Logically speaking, its enormous size should have made it easy to spot Ming Yan and the others when it approached them. However, it was only after getting close that it was discovered by Yue Qingying, who was skilled in concealment.

Little Kunpeng King, though at the Divine Realm, felt a bone-chilling cold. He knew this giant python was several realms above him and couldn't be confronted head-on. He cursed inwardly, "Ming Yan actually resorted to underhanded tactics?!"

He immediately activated the Kunpeng clan's extreme speed and turned to run!

"Hiss..." The giant python let out a chilling hiss. It was already extremely annoyed by the blow Ming Yan had given it earlier, and now it was provoked again by the Little Kunpeng King with the Kunpeng phenomenon. Even a clay bodhisattva has some temper, let alone this python. It chased after the Little Kunpeng King directly. Having lost so many people, it couldn't let this meal get away now.

Ming Yan didn't care about all that. Luckily, he encountered the Little Kunpeng King. If it were someone else, Ming Yan wouldn't be able to let the other party get hurt, which would make things more troublesome. But he didn't need to worry about the Little Kunpeng King. Anyway, the two were enemies. If the Little Kunpeng King could be forced to leave the small world in the Extreme Dao Palace because of this, that would be even better.

Mingyan took a long detour and returned to the place where he had parted ways with his senior sister and the others, only to find them all anxiously waiting for him.

Seeing that Ming Yan was safe and sound, Yue Qingying breathed a sigh of relief, a faint reproach appearing on her pretty face, "Why were you so reckless? What if something had happened? How could I explain it to Master?"

"Senior sister..." Mingyan scratched his head, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Alright, alright, it's good that you're back." Huang Feiyan quickly said, "At least Mingyan is safe and sound, isn't he?"

"How did you manage to shake off the giant python?" Ning Feixuan asked curiously. Seeing that Ming Yan was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief, but was also puzzled. Ming Yan was the slowest of the four, yet he had managed to shake off the python in such a short time...

Mingyan recounted his encounter with the Little Kunpeng King, and Yue Qingying and Huang Feiyan both laughed upon hearing it. Ning Feixuan's expression was also rather strange, "You and him really do have a special connection."

“Yes, if it weren’t for him, I might still be trying to escape the giant python’s pursuit right now.” Mingyan nodded. “I’ll be more restrained next time I make a move.”

At least, I won't embarrass him next time. I'll save him some face, since he did help me out.

"..." Ning Feixuan was speechless for a moment, then shook her head and said, "We don't need to worry about the Little Kunpeng King. He has already reached the Divine Realm and is a member of the Kunpeng clan. He has mastered extreme speed, so it's only a matter of time before he can outrun the giant python. Let's continue exploring."

The four embarked on their exploration once again. The small world seemed quite empty, with most areas being meaningless and merely used for filling space. Not only were there no inheritances in these areas, but various ferocious beasts also existed there. Obtaining an inheritance would not be so simple. Of the ten inheritances, Empress Qingzi's inheritance had already been obtained, leaving only nine inheritances. It was unknown whether any others had obtained any of them.

Chapter 100 Senior Sister and Junior Brother

Several more days passed. Although the small world had no sun or moon, it had a distinction between light and dark, and could be divided into day and night.

Ming Yan, Yue Qingying, Ning Feixuan, and Huang Feiyan were searching for the inheritance. On their journey, they encountered some other cultivators, but none of them took the initiative to attack. Seeing that the four of them were traveling together, the other party naturally did not want to cause trouble.

However, the four of them did learn some news. They heard that Gu Hanshuang had also obtained a kind of inheritance. Unlike Ming Yan and his group, who were so lucky, the four-person team had an inheritance to enjoy alone. They had to compete for it, and of course, they were unwilling to share it with others. If they obtained it, it was their own improvement, and if others obtained it, it was their own improvement. So, obtaining it was almost the same as not improving at all. Although this kind of inheritance could allow many people to learn together, obviously no one was willing to share it with others. Everyone wanted to widen the gap between themselves and others.

After all, not everyone has such a deep connection with Mingyan and his three companions.

For Huang Feiyan, Ning Feixuan and Yue Qingying are her best friends, and Ming Yan is her savior and friend. For Ning Feixuan, Yue Qingying and Ming Yan are disciples of her master's friend, and Huang Feiyan is her best friend. Ming Yan and Yue Qing are similar. There is no need for the four of them to compete or become enemies. So even if they encounter opportunities together, it will not cause any conflict. They will learn together because they will not only not become enemies in the future, but will also become comrades-in-arms on the same front.

As for the Little Kunpeng King that had helped Mingyan escape danger, it was also unharmed and had appeared in front of others, which made Mingyan feel a little regretful. If he could have been seriously injured by that giant python, he would have one less opponent.

However, Little Kunpeng King was, after all, a divine being, and possessed the ultimate speed of the Kunpeng clan, making it difficult for the giant python to catch up. So, although Mingyan felt regretful, he didn't pay much attention to it.

The four continued onward and found a unique region of the universe. The terrain here was extremely rare, and the entire region was shrouded in mist.

Every area in the small world is square, so the peculiar square mist that appeared in that area looked quite magical.

"So? Shall we go in?" Huang Feiyan asked.

“Why not go in? The terrain here is unique; we might find some unexpected treasures,” Ning Feixuan said softly.

“That’s right.” Yue Qingying nodded as well. “However, in the mist, we need to stay even closer together to avoid getting separated.”

The four decided to enter this special misty area. Mingyan led Yue Qingying, Yue Qingying led Huang Feiyan, and Huang Feiyan led Ning Feixuan. The four of them stepped into this square misty area.

But just as the four of them stepped inside, a sudden change occurred. Mingyan felt Yue Qingying loosen her grip and was very surprised. "Senior Sister? Senior Sister?"

Mingyan touched around and couldn't sense Yue Qingying's presence anymore, which was somewhat strange.

The senior sister naturally let go of him, probably because she had entered the fog and been affected by something.

Mingyan stood there, frowning as he thought for a while. He tried calling out the names of Ning Feixuan, Huang Feiyan, and his senior sister, but no one responded. He wondered if the others were responding the same way.

This is not good; the four of them have been forcibly separated... Mingyan hesitated for a moment, then decided not to sit idly by and wait for their doom, and began to explore this misty area.

Visibility was extremely low in the fog. Even with Mingyan's keen hearing and sharp eyesight, he couldn't see very far. Moreover, this fog was strange. He had clearly been holding hands with his senior sister before, but after entering the fog, they inexplicably let go of each other. Mingyan was wary and felt that this foggy area was probably not as simple as he had imagined.

He walked in the fog without feeling any discomfort, but he found that his body was shining brightly. It seemed that the foggy area had caused his body to react automatically. Mingyan looked at his skin, which was shimmering with a faint silver light, and then looked around, but found nothing unusual.

In the fog, the biggest worry is losing your sense of direction and walking in circles. The fog will disrupt your sense of direction, and there aren't many landmarks. Mingyan can only move forward by feeling, never looking back, hoping to get out of the fog in this way.

But after walking for a long time, Mingyan stopped and realized that he seemed to be wasting his energy.

The distance he just walked was definitely more than the length of two areas. Logically speaking, if he had gone straight, he should have already left this foggy area. This foggy area is not very wide, only about the size of one area, but he did not leave it. This means that he may not have been walking in a straight line at all, or that he has been affected by the fog and may have been going in circles.
