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

Wang Zuojun and Chen Yangfu could hardly fail to notice the sheathless three-colored jade sword in Luo Hanying's hand, the pommel of which was shaped like a flower that blooms in the morning and fades at dusk.

The hilt of the jade sword resembles a mayfly with outstretched wings, its two slender tails extending onto the smoky purple hilt.

The entire blade resembled grayish-white jade, with only about six inches of black staining at the tip.

Dong Geng, a disciple of Taibai Pavilion, made no attempt to hide his greedy expression: "Only magic weapons of the second rank of Heaven can have two forms. The magic weapon in her hand looks like a good thing."

Chen Yangfu glanced at Wang Zuojun, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes: "Yes, yes, such good stuff is not worthy of her, a mere young girl."

"Dong Geng, hurry up and fetch that magical artifact! The color and style of this sword are a perfect match for Lord Yunlai."

"Yes!" Dong Geng replied with great joy.

Once this treasure falls into the hands of Taibai Pavilion, who knows who will use it in the future? Dong Geng may not have made any great contributions, but he has certainly put in a lot of effort. What's wrong with the adults rewarding him with such a magical artifact? He deserves it!

Luo Hanying could see that as soon as Hui Fusheng appeared, all the enemies swarmed towards him like flies to dung. She had only raised her cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm in a short time, so she dared not linger in the battle.

The sword technique that Fusheng displayed in her sea of ​​consciousness was called "Morning and Evening Old Age," which consisted of seven moves. Fortunately, she had practiced swordsmanship before. Although she didn't have much talent in swordsmanship, she was still able to understand and use the first move, "Mayfly Digging," in a short time!

"This girl is quite pretty, hehehe..."

"Judging from the spiritual power she uses, it is rooted in wood and fire, which is not suitable for her to be a furnace or cauldron."

"Brother Zhang, that's your shallowness. We don't necessarily need a furnace cauldron. We just want to have some fun, who cares what kind of spiritual root it has!"

Luo Hanying frowned in disgust at the man's lewd laughter. She took firm steps toward the formation, her steady movements deflecting the enemy with ease.

She flipped her wrist, turning the upward-moving sword momentum downward and slashing the sword into the formation that trapped Ruan Chayan!

Spiritual energy instantly flowed into the jade sword!

The jade sword shone brightly with red and green light, and spiritual energy surged into the formation through the opening!

"No! Stop her! You bunch of good-for-nothings, interrupt that bitch!"

Wang Zuojun was horrified. He hurriedly stomped his foot and commanded the Scaled Dragon to attack Luo Hanying. The Scaled Dragon's mouth shone brightly, and lightning struck Luo Hanying's back.

Luo Hanying used the force of drawing her sword to perform a backflip to avoid the attack, and the sound of the formation collapsing was ear-piercing.

Holding a sword in one hand, she quickly grabbed Ruan Chayan's shoulder with the other, dragging the unconscious Ruan Chayan towards the boundary stone.

With each step Luo Hanying took, an array plate would activate to block the attack, but the array plate could only hold out for a breath.

Luo Hanying protected Ruan Chayan, enduring several attacks from spiritual energy and magical artifacts. Her robes were also torn by sword energy, leaving her covered in wounds.

Dong Geng shouted, "With so many of us, do you think we'll let this woman get away?! Hurry up and attack! She's like a grasshopper in autumn!"

The enemy swarmed forward and blocked the boundary stone. Luo Hanying found the Binding Spirit Rope and wrapped it around Ruan Chayan's back. She flew up on her sword, and the enemy followed closely behind.

"Little wench, you'd better stop struggling and hand over the magic weapon you're holding! I might even give you some face, hahaha!"

Luo Hanying spat and said, "Go to hell!"

She used her spiritual power to slash their palms, and blood dripped down.

"Oh, she's got a fiery temper, hahaha~"

"I love this! It's awesome!"

"Hey~ You, you~"

Luo Hanying took a deep breath and activated five nested array plates in succession. She withdrew the Painting of Life, and the jade sword transformed into a brush. She dipped her palm in the blood and quickly set up the array: "The white snow dislikes the lateness of spring, so it flies through the courtyard trees like blossoms!"

All the cultivators and demon beasts present instantly felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Suddenly, snowflakes began to fall in front of them, and when they looked around, they found themselves and their fellow disciples in a courtyard.

The snow fell softly, passing through the bare trees in the courtyard, like a tree of pear blossoms being blown down by the wind.

Suddenly, a chorus of painful screams erupted from all around. Someone clutched their neck and shouted in disbelief, "Snowflakes! It's sword energy!"

The next second he collapsed to the ground, lifeless, with only blood gushing out.

The Scaled Dragon coiled around its body, protecting Wang Zuojun beneath it. The snowflakes only fluttered for a moment before dissipating. When the surrounding scenery returned to normal, Luo Hanying and Ruan Chayan were nowhere to be seen.

All that remained were two bloody red handprints on the "Beast Ancient" boundary stone.

The cultivators gathered at the exit suddenly stirred: "More people are coming out! They're disciples of the Shiren Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Meiru shouted, "Get out of the way! Let this old man take a look!"

Wenren Ya and several other cultivators who had also escaped from the Guangxu Secret Realm and were still able to move followed closely behind to investigate.

Chen Meiru, the third elder of Xinglin Peak of Shiren Sect, and his disciples Qiao Yuwen and Sheng Meixu quickly checked on the two people who were covered in blood.

Upon seeing the faces of the two cultivators bound together, Wenren Ya exclaimed with delight, "It's Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying! Luo Hanying actually managed to rescue Ruan Chayan!"

Hui Fusheng, who was tightly held in Luo Hanying's hand, darted into her dantian in a flash—

A cultivator's lower dantian can store the physical body of their natal magic weapon and spirit sword, while their sea of ​​consciousness provides a resting place for the weapon's spirit.

Seeing this scene, Wenren Ya secretly pondered. Judging from the appearance of the magic artifact, Luo Hanying seemed to have formed a pact with the artifact. She wondered who was the master and who was the master. Would Luo Hanying do something foolish just to save Ruan Chayan?

After examining Luo Hanying's body, Chen Meiru exclaimed in shock, "Quick, quick! This girl used the Eastern Emperor's Blood Sacrifice Pill!"

Mei Zhang! Quickly prepare the elixir for the medicinal bath with Sheng Meixu!

"Bring out that thousand-year-old six-petaled Crimson Heart Flower and use it!"

"Master! It seems there's something wrong with Ruan Chayan's sea of ​​consciousness!"

Qiao Yuwen held up the burning elixir in his hand and said, "This smoke enters the nasal cavity!"

After Wenren Ya came out, she told the cultivators of Shiren Sect that Ruan Chayan was controlled by the formation of Taibai Pavilion and Canghai Realm. In addition to her, Song Yingshi and others also supplemented each other's accounts of the dangerous situation inside.

After examining Ruan Chayan's internal and external injuries, Qiao Yuwen also checked her sea of ​​consciousness. The formation was indeed attacking a person's mind!

Tao Fuzhen looked at Chen Meiru's solemn expression and hurriedly said, "Elder Chen, I have Soul-Nourishing Grass and Soul-Replenishing Stones! Can you save my junior sister?"

She was Xu Hengzhi's third disciple, who was traveling outside. When she heard about the Guangxu Secret Realm, she rushed over and unexpectedly met her junior sister Ruan Chayan.

"Alright, alright, you lot, come over here quickly and carry the person into the spirit boat!"

Chen Meiru breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Tao Fuzhen had the relevant elixir, as he was in dire need of such an elixir.

He directed several disciples to take the two seriously injured men back to his own territory.

"Qiao Yuwen, you, Song Yingshi, and Xing Lele stay here and keep watch. If anything happens, send me a message."

Chen Meiru instructed, "Luo Hanying's condition is critical. I have to go up and save her life. You guys stay outside and be alert. Be careful to distinguish friend from foe and watch out for any underhanded tricks."

"Yes!"

"Disciple understands"

Song Yingshi, Qiao Yuwen, and the others quickly agreed.
