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

Luo Hanying also regained consciousness right after Ruan Chayan. The line "The mountains and rivers seem to block the way, but then a village appears amidst the willows and flowers" made her vision go black for a moment. She opened her eyes as she ran forward along the glowing path.

Luo Hanying was caught by Ruan Chayan and immediately regained her senses. She flipped herself onto the ground and took out her brush, writing with great flourish: "Cold light melts before the twelve gates, twenty-three threads move the Purple Emperor!"

Zhang Yang's words instantly stretched out and transformed into the strings of a konghou (a type of Chinese harp), and the strings shot straight at the face of the cultivator from Taibai Pavilion with unstoppable force!

A phantom of Chang'an descended from the sky, attempting to trap the cultivators who were being attacked by silk strings.

The cultivators of Taibai Pavilion were not to be outdone, and they all used their best skills to deal with Ruan Luo and his companion.

Their fight caused a series of booming sounds in Qiuxi City, and even seemed to shake the earth.

Ruan Chayan stared in shock at the two large, dark shadows rapidly approaching from the horizon, exclaiming, "What are those?! Cats?! Lions?! White tigers?!"

Luo Hanying released her divine sense and exclaimed in horror, "What a huge snake! A snake with two heads!"

The two women initially thought the earth-shaking tremors were caused by their magical battle, but now it seems to be caused by the flying black python and snow-white lion!

The cultivators at Taibai Pavilion seemed even more terrified than Ruan Luo and her companion: "Retreat! Retreat quickly! It's a demon...!"

The pressure from the Void Refinement Realm descended from afar, and before Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying could escape, their robes and hairpins with defensive formations were all torn and broken, and the two of them suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

Aside from when they first arrived in the cultivation world, Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying had not experienced such domineering pressure for a long time.

The mere aftershocks of the battle between the two demonic beasts were enough to severely injure the two women, demonstrating that the two demonic beasts were far more powerful than them.

A giant white cat with curly fur and heterochromatic eyes, and two black pythons with snake tails that stretched for dozens of miles, used the sky and earth as their battlefield. They not only tore at each other in the most primitive way, but also occasionally spat out dazzling blue-purple light from the pythons' mouths.

Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying now had no idea where to run to.

The disciples of Taibai Pavilion were accidentally injured by the aftershocks of the giant python's attack when they flew into the air on their swords and weapons. They are now completely dead. How could they dare to expose themselves in the open?

Seeing the pill cauldron a few steps away, Ruan Chayan had a sudden idea. Despite her serious injuries, she pulled Luo Hanying behind the cauldron.

"Only divine artifacts can destroy the alchemy cauldron. We should be immune to most of the damage if we hide here."

Ruan Chayan cleared her throat and coughed up sticky blood from her throat.

Luo Hanying placed the array plates at her feet, wiped her mouth, and smeared the bloodstains on her sleeve. She said weakly, "Give me some spirit stones. I don't have many spirit stones left. I don't have enough to activate so many arrays."

Ruan Chayan took out a pile of spirit stones and told Luo Hanying to keep them safe for later use.

As the spirit stone was placed in, the array plate was activated, and the array expanded, protecting the two people in the small space.

Outside the formation, sand and stones flew everywhere, and many houses in Qiuxi City collapsed with a rumble. Every now and then, balls of spiritual energy carrying attacks crashed down. Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying looked at the huge crater that appeared on the ground and felt fear in their hearts.

They never expected to be so unlucky as to encounter such powerful demonic beasts fighting each other. Were they not going to die at the hands of Taibai Xie, but instead to die for no reason in the battle between these two demonic beasts?

The white cat had multiple wounds on its back and abdomen, and the black python's tail tip was bent at an unusual angle. They were covered in bloodstains, and it was unclear why they had started fighting and ended up all the way to Qiuxi City.

Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying each swallowed pills to treat their injuries. Luo Hanying handed the water pouch that Ji Daoyun had given her to Ruan Chayan, and the two of them hurriedly healed their injuries.

They cautiously extended their divine senses to observe the movements of the two demonic beasts, constantly praying that they would leave this place as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a huge cyan folding fan appeared above the black python's head. The fan unfolded, and cyan mist spread out, within which seal script characters could be faintly seen. The mist seemed to want to trap the white cat.

"Holy crap! Chacha! Isn't that the Azure Mist Fan?!"

Luo Hanying once held the Qinglan Fan in her hand and played with it, so she had a deep memory of the details on the fan. Moreover, the blue mist was exactly what "Qinglan" meant.

Why did Su Xiaochun's Azure Mist Fan end up with this giant python? Was Su Xiaochun killed by the python? Or is Su Xiaochun herself the giant python?!

When the black python heard the familiar voice calling out Qinglan Shan's name, it momentarily diverted its attention, saw the two people hiding behind the alchemy cauldron, and then withdrew its divine sense.

Ruan Chayan stared in shock as a nine-section whip burning with flames appeared above the white cat's head. The wind generated by the whip's movements dispersed the mist emanating from the fan.

Ruan Chayan tightly gripped Luo Hanying's sleeve: "Look, isn't that the Candle Shadow Whip?!"

She didn't have time to recognize the Azure Fan, as she had no recollection of it. However, the familiar nine-section whip suddenly brought back memories of what had happened at the Heavenly Gate, and those images flashed through her mind.

Looking at the huge feline again, its right ear was pure black, and its eyes were one gold and one green, clearly the same color as Qin Fansheng's eyes!

Based on the information they both knew, the Demon Emperor Jin Yuesheng's true form was a Golden Flower Cat, and the Demon Lord Huaiwei was a great demon with demon blood, so he was also a Golden Flower Cat. Therefore, the giant beast in front of them should be Qin Fansheng's true form!

Luo Hanying's eyes widened: "It's Demon Lord Huaiwei?! Isn't he in the Demon Realm? Why is he fighting with such a huge python?"

She's practically developing megalophobia! Such a huge cat and such a huge snake! It's terrifying!

Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying didn't make much noise, but Jinhua Cat and the Double-Headed Fire Scale Python were highly skilled. The array in Luo Hanying's hand was as if it didn't exist in their eyes, and they heard it clearly.

When Jin Hua Mao heard the two female cultivators reveal his identity, and considering that one of them knew about Qing Lan Shan and that the Two-Headed Fire Phosphorus Python had just looked at them, he guessed that the two of them might have some connection with the Two-Headed Fire Phosphorus Python, and that they might know how to deal with Qing Lan Shan.

It immediately dodged the python's tail swing, used its hind legs to push off the two-headed fire-phosphorus python and launched itself straight towards Ruan Luo and the other person. At the same time, it noticed the two pill cauldrons on the ground and slashed down with the Candle Yin Whip, pulling back and releasing it at the same time.

Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying were shocked to see the Golden Flower Cat rushing towards them. In particular, the Candle Yin Whip, which seemed to be aimed at them, made them look horrified. The two of them summoned their defensive magic weapons to protect themselves and tried to escape from the location.

The cauldron exploded, and nearly a hundred dying cultivators, along with their skeletons, tumbled out, collapsing to the ground, groaning incoherently.

The Golden Flower Cat's long tail split open instantly, and within a few breaths, it rushed in front of Ruan Luo and the other woman. No matter how they tried to defend themselves, they were swept up by the cat's tail and flung between the Two-Headed Fire Scale Python and the Golden Flower Cat.
