"Senior Brother Jin Ling, where do you think Junior Brother Qingyi and Junior Brother Muqi are now?" Fairy Shuirou frowned slightly, her beautiful face full of worry.

The Golden Spirit Immortal Hero held the Spirit Light Immortal Sword in his hand, his expression solemn, "Junior Sister Shui Rou, don't worry too much. I believe that good things will come to them."

Lin Feng gripped the ancient wooden staff tightly and continued, "Brother Qingyi is very clever, and Brother Muqi is also very powerful. I hope they are not in too much danger."

Master Dong Meng looked into the darkness in the distance and said worriedly, "But this shadow realm is extremely dangerous. The threats hidden in the darkness may appear at any time."

Su Mo gently shook the rune folding fan and said in a deep voice: "Let's speed up and complete the mission as soon as possible, and perhaps we can find them sooner."

Along the way, they moved forward cautiously, their concern for their two junior brothers never stopping.

"I wonder if Junior Brother Qingyi's Wanhun Wenjing Di can protect him." The voice of the Golden Spirit Immortal Knight rang out in the silence.

Fairy Shuirou sighed softly, "I wonder if Junior Brother Muqi's wooden telescopic spear will be able to exert its power in this place surrounded by powerful enemies."

Lin Feng's eyes were firm, "They will definitely be able to overcome this danger with their own abilities."

"I hope so." Master Dong Meng murmured to himself.

Su Mo suddenly stopped, looking nervous, "Everyone be careful, I feel an evil aura approaching."

'

Everyone immediately became alert, and the Golden Spirit Immortal Hero raised the Lingguang Immortal Sword, ready to deal with any danger that might arise at any time.

However, this breath suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"This shadow realm is indeed strange, everyone must not take it lightly." Jin Ling Xianxia reminded.

Fairy Shuirou said worriedly, "I wonder if Junior Brother Qingyi and Junior Brother Muqi have also encountered the same situation."

"They will be fine." Lin Feng encouraged everyone, and also seemed to be cheering himself up.

As they go deeper into the Shadow Realm, they encounter more and more dangers, including strange fog, powerful monsters, and mysterious traps.

"It would be great if Qingyi and Muqi were here. Their wisdom might help us avoid some detours." Master Dong Meng said as he dealt with the monster in front of him.

The Golden Spirit Immortal Xia fought hard to kill the monsters and shouted, "Focus on dealing with them. Once we find them, we'll have a good reunion!"

Su Mo waved his folding fan and cast a rune spell, "Everyone, work hard to reunite with them as soon as possible!"

On the other side, after the young man in blue and his senior brothers and sisters were separated by the flood, the gears of fate began to turn again.

The young man in green is named Qingzhu. Ever since he was rescued by Zhuyao, a girl from the Bamboo Clan, he has never let go of his concern for his senior brothers and sisters.

"Miss Zhuyao, do you think we can find them?" Qingzhu's eyes revealed a hint of confusion and anxiety.

Zhu Yao smiled slightly and soothed him, "Mr. Qingzhu, as long as we are sincere, we will definitely meet them." However, her heart was not as certain as she appeared to be. After all, the path to becoming an immortal was full of unknowns and variables.

Qingzhu raised his head slightly, looked at the changing clouds in the sky, and murmured to himself: "The Golden Spirit Immortal Knight has always been resourceful and will surely be able to overcome the danger. Fairy Shuirou is gentle and kind, and God will surely protect her. Senior Brother Lin Feng is a martial arts master, so he should be fine. And Junior Sister Dong, she is so smart..." Every time he thought of a senior brother or sister, Qingzhu's heart tightened.

Zhu Yao said softly, "Master Qingzhu, don't worry too much. Perhaps they are looking for us right now."

Qingzhu sighed, "I hope so. But this journey is full of dangers, and I don't know if they are safe."

The two continued on their journey, entering a deep forest. It was eerily quiet, with only the occasional roar of an unknown beast making one shudder with fear.

"Miss Zhuyao, please be careful." Qingzhu unconsciously protected Zhuyao behind him.

"Mr. Qingzhu, you should also be more careful." A touch of emotion flashed across Zhu Yao's face.

Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled past, rustling the leaves. Qingzhu's heart tightened, and he looked around warily. He saw a huge python spiraling down from the tree, its bloody mouth wide open, pouncing towards them.

Qingzhu quickly drew his sword and engaged in a fierce fight with the python. Zhuyao anxiously shouted, "Master Qingzhu, be careful!"

After a hard fight, Qingzhu finally killed the python, but he was also exhausted and out of breath.

"Mr. Qingzhu, you are injured!" Zhu Yao exclaimed.

Qingzhu waved his hand: "It's okay, just some superficial injuries." However, his heart felt heavier. The difficulties and obstacles along the way made his hope of finding his senior brothers and sisters even slimmer.

"No, we can't give up like this!" Qingzhu gritted his teeth and cheered himself up again.

Zhu Yao nodded vigorously: "Yes, we will definitely find them!"

After a few more days of travel, they arrived at an ancient town. The town was bustling with people, but Qingzhu and Zhuyao had no interest in enjoying the bustling scene. They were only interested in finding out the whereabouts of their fellow apprentices.

"Excuse me, have you ever seen a few immortal cultivators, among whom there is a knight in a golden robe, and a fairy in a light blue dress..." Qingzhu asked everyone he met.

But the answers he got were all shakes of head.

At night, Qingzhu and Zhuyao stayed in an inn. Qingzhu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

"Miss Zhuyao, are you asleep?" Qingzhu asked softly.

"Not yet." Zhu Yao's voice came from next door.

"I always feel that we are getting closer and closer to them, but it seems as if there are thousands of mountains and rivers between us." Qingzhu's voice was full of helplessness.

Zhu Yao comforted him, "Master Qingzhu, don't be discouraged. Maybe there will be news tomorrow."

However, just as they turned a corner, several villains suddenly jumped out and blocked their way.

"I built this road and planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, you have to pay me money!" The leading villain shouted arrogantly with a face full of flesh and fierce eyes.

Qingzhu frowned, his heart ablaze with anger. He shielded Zhuyao behind him and sternly shouted, "How dare you do such a wicked thing in broad daylight!"

Zhu Yao tightly grasped the corner of Qingzhu's clothes, her eyes full of fear, but more of anger towards the villain.

When the thugs heard Qingzhu's scolding, they not only did not retreat, but burst into laughter. "Boy, you dare to be so arrogant in front of your grandfather!" One of the thugs, tall and thin, brandished a big knife in his hand and approached step by step.

Qingzhu was undaunted. His right hand swiftly drew the sword from his waist, its blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight. He flashed and charged at the villain. For a moment, sword shadows clashed, and the sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the valley.

Qingzhu had practiced martial arts and cultivation since childhood, and was agile, but the villains were outnumbered and each one was ruthless. After several rounds, Qingzhu gradually felt powerless and had several more wounds on his body.

Zhu Yao was extremely anxious, but she could not help. Suddenly, she had an idea and took out a smoke bomb from her bosom and threw it to the ground. With a "bang", the smoke spread out. While the villains' vision was blocked, Zhu Yao grabbed Qing Zhu's hand and shouted, "Let's go!"

The two fled desperately under the cover of smoke, but the villains quickly reacted and chased them closely.

Qingzhu and Zhuyao panicked and ran into a deep forest. The forest was filled with thick fog, eerie and terrifying. Their footsteps were particularly clear in the silence, as if magnified countless times.

"Ouch!" Zhuyao suddenly screamed. It turned out that she was tripped by a protruding tree root and fell to the ground. Qingzhu hurriedly stopped, helped Zhuyao up, and asked with concern: "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Zhu Yao bit her lip and shook her head: "I'm fine, run!"

At this moment, the voices of the villains were heard again: "See where you are running!"

Qingzhu took a deep breath, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Zhuyao, you hide first, I'll lead them away!"

"No, let's go together!" Zhu Yao grabbed Qingzhu's arm tightly.

"Be good!" Qingzhu broke free from Zhuyao's hand and ran in another direction. He deliberately made a lot of noise to attract the attention of the villains.

Zhu Yao hid behind a big tree, tears welling up in her eyes, and prayed silently in her heart that Qingzhu would be safe.

Qingzhu was running through the woods, with the villains chasing him closely. Suddenly, he found a cliff in front of him and there was no way to retreat.

"Haha, kid, let's see where you can run!" The villains gradually surrounded him with smug smiles on their faces.

Qingzhu looked at the bottomless abyss below the cliff, and despair surged in his heart. But he quickly adjusted his mindset and decided to fight the villains to the death.

At this critical moment, a melodious flute sound suddenly echoed from the sky. The villains stopped and looked up at the sky in horror. They saw a white-robed immortal slowly approaching on auspicious clouds. With a flick of his sleeve, a powerful force toppled the villains to the ground.

When Qingzhu and Zhuyao saw the immortal, they felt as if they had found a lifeline and quickly knelt down to beg for help. The immortal smiled slightly, raised his hand gently, and a ray of light shone down, instantly healing Qingzhu's wounds.

"Thank you for saving me, Immortal!" Qingzhu and Zhuyao burst into tears of gratitude.

The immortal waved his hand and said, "Get up quickly, this is fate. But I have important things to do and cannot stay long. You guys take care of yourselves." After that, the immortal turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the sky.

Qingzhu and Zhuyao looked at the direction where the immortal left, their hearts filled with admiration and gratitude. After this ordeal, they became more determined to find their relatives.

However, the whereabouts of their senior brothers and sisters remain unknown, and the road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges. But they believe that as long as they have love and faith in their hearts, they will one day be reunited with their loved ones.

He and Zhuyao continued their journey to find their relatives, their figures gradually walking away in the afterglow of the sunset...

Seeing that it was getting dark, they looked for a cave to spend the night. It was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the cold wind began to attack their bodies.

They walked into the cave, which was filled with a damp smell. Qingzhu and Zhuyao started to act in unison, finding some dry firewood. Qingzhu used magic to instantly ignite a bonfire, and the warm flames immediately illuminated the entire cave.

The two sat around the campfire, the orange-red flames casting shifting shadows on their faces. Zhu Yao hugged her arms tightly, trying to resist the chill, and whispered, "Qingzhu, this wind is really chilling to the bone."

Qingzhu leaned slightly to the side, closer to Zhuyao, and said gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, and this fire will warm you up."

Zhu Yao raised her eyes, reflecting the dancing flames and Qingzhu's handsome face. "Qingzhu, if the journey to find your relatives is always so long, and you don't know when it will end, will you regret walking with me?"

Qingzhu firmly held Zhuyao's hand and said, "Don't say such foolish things. I have no regrets for being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, no matter what the future holds."

Zhu Yao felt the warmth of Qingzhu's palm, and her face flushed. "Qingzhu, the road to becoming an immortal is long. Do you think we can find the great way? Can we... stay together forever?"

Qingzhu's eyes were blazing. "Zhuyao, I only wish to spend this life with you. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are on the road to becoming an immortal, my feelings for you will never change."

Zhu Yao gently broke free from Qing Zhu's hand, stood up, and walked to the cave wall, looking at the dark night outside. "But cultivators cannot fall in love. If they do, they will be troubled by inner demons and their cultivation will be hindered."

Qingzhu also stood up and walked behind Zhuyao. "So what? If you can't love as you want, what's the point of achieving the Great Dao?"

Zhu Yao turned around and looked at Qing Zhu, "Qing Zhu, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that I'll get you into trouble."

Qingzhu held Zhuyao's shoulders with both hands and said, "Don't be afraid. I believe our love can overcome everything."

Zhu Yao's eyes sparkled with tears, "Qingzhu, hearing your words, my heart is satisfied."

Qingzhu slowly approached Zhuyao, and their faces were getting closer and closer. Just when their lips were about to touch, a roar of a monster suddenly came from outside the cave.

Qingzhu and Zhuyao suddenly separated, their expressions alert. Qingzhu said in a deep voice, "It seems that this night is not peaceful. You stay here and I will go and take a look." After that, he flashed out of the cave.

Zhu Yao looked at the direction where Qing Zhu left and prayed silently in her heart: "May you return safely."

Walking out of the cave, he saw a fiery red fox wandering in the grass not far away. Its eyes were cunning and fierce, and a faint demonic aura emanated from its body. Qingzhu's heart trembled, and he immediately realized that this was no ordinary fox, but a spiritual demonic beast.

Qingzhu quickly formed hand seals, muttering something to herself. A ray of light emanated from her fingertips, forming a magical net shimmering with runes in the air, which enveloped the fox. The fox, sensing danger, leaped up, attempting to evade the net. However, Qingzhu's magic was no easy feat. The net followed her like a shadow, rapidly contracting and encircling the fox.

The fox struggled desperately in the net, emitting sharp cries and scratching at the net with its sharp claws, trying to tear a hole. But the net was formed by the deep magical power of green bamboo, and it was extremely solid. The fox's struggle was in vain.

Qingzhu's eyes were cold as he cast another spell. With a wave of his hand, a beam of green light shot towards the fox like a sword. Seeing the situation was bad, the fox actually sprayed a cloud of black smoke in an attempt to block the green light's attack. However, Qingzhu's green light had extremely strong penetrating power, instantly piercing the smoke and directly hitting the fox's body.

The fox screamed miserably, its fur singed by the azure light, revealing its bright red flesh. But it still refused to surrender. A glint of madness flashed in its eyes, and its demonic aura suddenly surged, attempting to break free from the net and launch a final counterattack.

Qingzhu snorted coldly, increasing the output of his magic power with both hands. The runes on the magic net shone brightly, and the electric light moved through the fox's body. The fox trembled all over from the electric shock, and the cries from its mouth became weaker and weaker.

After a long moment, the fox finally collapsed into the net, exhausted. Qingzhu then slowly retracted his magic and stepped forward. The fox was already on the verge of death. Qingzhu sighed softly and said, "You evil creature! Instead of cultivating properly, you choose to bring disaster to the world. Today, I will eliminate you, which will be considered a good deed for the people." With that, he waved his hand, and a flash of light passed, and the fox was completely dead.

After dealing with the fox, Qingzhu turned and prepared to return to the cave. However, in the previous battle, the fox's claws and magic had still left him with some minor injuries, and his clothes were ripped and stained with blood. But he looked relaxed and at ease, as he was still able to handle such a small demon beast with ease.

When Qingzhu returned to the cave, the bloodstains on his body looked somewhat shocking under the light inside the cave.

Zhu Yao hurried forward and wiped the blood off Qing Zhu with a handkerchief. "Are you hurt?"

Qingzhu held Zhuyao's hand and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

The two returned to the campfire again. After all these twists and turns, their feelings for each other became even stronger.

As the night deepens, the cold wind still howls, but in this cave, the two hearts are closely dependent on each other, as warm as ever.
