My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Luo Hanying recalled the unknown formations and pitch-black cauldrons she had seen before, and found it hard to believe Changshui: "Are you sure? You don't know any offensive spells, and if you were to act rashly, it would cause a flood..."

She knows that she sometimes overthinks and is indecisive, but she can't control her thoughts.

She helped Changshui and those poor people, and unconsciously took them as her responsibility and included them in her protection.

When Ruan Chayan learned that it would take the two ten days to reach Lianpo City, she immediately decided: "You have to give up something to gain something. It's impossible for us to have both Changshui and us."

We can't stay and protect Changshui forever.

If Changshui endures this for a while, wouldn't mortals without water still die anyway?

Since Changshui has to face the disciples of Taibai Pavilion, then mortals are destined to be sacrificed.

This is something he has to face himself. We've done everything we could. Listen to me, we're going to Lianpo City right now.

Since Ruan Chayan had already said all that, Luo Hanying also let go of those thoughts. After the group said goodbye, Ruan Chayan pulled Luo Hanying onto the back of Jin Si, which had transformed into its original form, and let Jin Si head southwest.

If Jin Si traveled day and night without stopping, they would arrive at Lianpo City faster.

Ruan Luo and her companion had assumed they would reach Lianpo City without incident, but unexpectedly, they encountered a mishap in Baichen City—

Jin Si carried Ruan Luo and the other two straight towards Lianpo City. Relying on his high cultivation level, he didn't care about the city's no-flying laws at all. Besides, he flashed by so quickly that the guards in the city couldn't even see his shadow.

Protected by the protective spiritual energy, Ruan Luo and the other two would not be injured by the wind as Jin Si moved at high speed. However, using their divine sense to see the surrounding scenery still made them feel carsick. Moreover, it was winter, and there was not much scenery to see in the Western Barbarian Divine Continent, so they stopped caring about the outside world.

Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying were chatting in their minds when Jin Si suddenly plummeted straight down as he flew over Baichen City, crashing into the main street inside the city walls!

Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying were both in pain and confused. They felt that their spiritual power was also being suppressed, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.

Having lost their spiritual power, everyone's disguises fell off, exposing the two people and the beast.

While Ruan Chayan was still inquiring about Jin Si's situation, Luo Hanying stood up in a daze and stood protectively in front of Ruan Chayan.

Luo Hanying was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat: "What the hell?! What's going on here?! Why can't I use my divine sense and the spiritual power in my body?!"

The cultivators, wielding spears and round shields, rushed out from the shadows in an instant. They cautiously approached the two men and one beast, gradually tightening the encirclement.

One of the cultivators recognized them and exclaimed in surprise, "It's Jian Chu, Shi Mi'er, and the Fiery-Eyed Golden Lion! Quickly, go and report to Elder Li! First, bring us the Flowing Purple Pattern Gourd! What a godsend! Our time to make a fortune has come!"

The people immediately started chattering about how they had ended up there, saying things like, "This is like a pillow delivered to someone who's sleepy," and how lucky they were that they hadn't handed over the gourd yet.

Upon hearing the name "Gourd with Flowing Purple Pattern," Jin Si's beastly eyes widened. Ignoring Ruan Chayan's question, it opened its mouth, grabbed Ruan Luo and the other person, and then leaped up, flinging them out of Baichen City.

Ruan Luo and the other person's vision blurred, and the last thing they saw was Jin Si jumping and trampling on those cultivators, but he was covered by a large golden net, which restricted his movements.

As soon as the two flew away from the area of ​​Baichen City, they regained their spiritual power. They quickly made hand seals and chanted incantations to stabilize themselves, and then summoned their spiritual swords to fly away.

Luo Hanying was still in a daze: "What's going on?! We've been ambushed by Taibai Pavilion?! How did they know our whereabouts?!"

"What will happen to Jin Si if he throws the two of us out like this? Should we go back to save Jin Si now?"

Ruan Chayan held her head and said, "Wait, let me calm down."

In her sea of ​​consciousness, Jin Si was communicating through the divine soul seal left by the contract.

{Ruan Chayan, you and Luo Hanying should immediately circle around these cities. It seems the Western Barbarian Continent is now under the control of Taibai Pavilion.}

Jin Si explained his situation: "Don't worry about me. I am the Fiery-Eyed Golden Lion, inherently powerful. My Void Refinement Realm physical body is beyond their reach. Losing my spiritual power will only allow them to temporarily control me."

Ruan Chayan didn't believe Jin Si's words. She had clearly seen the solemn look in Jin Si's eyes at that time: "I can't leave you alone!"

Tell me about your situation. How many people are guarding you? Can you tell their cultivation levels? Xiaoxue, Huajiao, and I will try to rescue you!

{Don't even think about it. Just the two of you getting close will have your spiritual energy sealed off. Without that energy, you'll be completely at their mercy.}

Jin Si heard that Ruan Chayan's words seemed genuine, and her tone carried a hint of anxiety: "Listen, you two absolutely cannot be caught by the people from Taibai Pavilion. Even if you are caught, stay far away from here."

They possess a gourd with gilded purple patterns, a pseudo-divine artifact. Once you two are captured inside, you will be annihilated, body and soul.

If you are killed normally, you can be resurrected using the Qiongling Bone. But if your body and soul are completely destroyed, let alone resurrection, you won't even have a place in the cycle of reincarnation.

Ruan Chayan was extremely anxious: {Then what are you going to do?! They said they were going to retrieve that gourd. If you were put inside, would you survive?!}

"Cha Cha, don't just stand there!" Luo Hanying patted Ruan Chayan's shoulder to bring her back to her senses. "A large group of people have come out of the city! We can't fight them all, let's go!"

Ruan Chayan followed closely behind Luo Hanying, listening to Jin Si's voice in her sea of ​​consciousness: {As long as it's not a divine artifact, it can't do anything to me.}

You all need to be careful from now on. My spiritual power is sealed, and I don't know how long it will take before I regain my freedom.

Luo Hanying opened the map and cried out, "System! System! We're in danger! Quickly guide us to a safe route!"

7195 didn't hesitate at this point and immediately started planning the route: "Navigation has been activated for both hosts. System 7195 will serve you throughout the journey. Destination: Lianpo City."

Turn left after 4,000 meters ahead to enter the Wild God Mountain.

The area ahead is prone to traffic accidents. Please be careful of the hollow vine, a demonic plant that likes to shoot down flying objects.

Luo Hanying's face turned ugly: ["Couldn't you have taken a detour?! What would happen if I couldn't avoid it?!"]

7195 said calmly, "Being hit by a hollow vine will cause a traffic accident."

"Who asked you that, Dad?!"

Luo Hanying was so angry that the stray hairs on her forehead stopped curling. [“I’m asking you what a hollow vine is, and whether it eats people?!”]

I've been with Jin Si for so long that I've started calling him "Old Man."

"Tea Mama, Jin Si abandoned us. How is he now? You two should be able to contact each other, right? Should we go rescue him?"
