The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Yun Yici sighed, "Oh no, Hua Yi's father has summoned all these demon cultivators to block the Blood Abyss."

"Even if Senior Bai Ruo and Senior Li Ji could get Ashu's juice, they still couldn't deliver it down."

Once the teleportation array is activated, the demon cultivators above the Blood Abyss will swarm in like locusts.

"If I had known, I would have used the communication talisman my senior brother gave me to have you yell and scare them away."

Seeing that her words were amusing, Zhu Jian couldn't help but chuckle and said, "These are all minor matters."

"You didn't see what happened ten thousand years ago."

“There were more demon cultivators who used to search for me all over the banks of the Chishui River than there were hairs on a demon beast.”

“I heard Mingwu say that there is a game in the mortal world called hide-and-seek, where everyone hides and the last one to be found is the winner.”

"I was unable to move beneath the Blood Abyss, but I was quite happy to see the scene outside and to see these demon cultivators searching for me."

"Just like the sacred tree you mentioned, which is worshipped by the fox clan, I am also remembered by someone."

"However, the fact that they found me might not represent good fortune, but rather disaster."

"So I thought, if this is hide-and-seek, I must hide until the very end."

"Thank goodness, once the evil energy on your senior brother is purified, I will win."

"Thank you for giving me new hope."

"I really want to fly again."

Yun Yici felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this and replied, "After you leave, let's play real hide-and-seek together."

As Yun Yici spoke, she reconnected the communication talisman to the imperial edict and told Mingwu, Wen Fuyue, and the others about the scene she had seen above the Blood Abyss.

Mingwu chanted a Buddhist prayer, stood up, and made a promise before the remains of Zhulong: "No matter what, I will retrieve the sap of the divine tree for you."

Shen Huaichuan fumbled in his sleeve for a while and pulled out a small, fox-head-shaped, jade buckle.

"We can teleport once more, from here to Qingqiu, to the Marriage Temple where we came from."

Yun Yici suddenly stood up from the Candle Dragon Space and said to the system, "Got it, activate fixed-point teleportation, teleport twice!"

Zhulong didn't even have enough power to open up space, so he locked her here.

But Shen Huaichuan is outside the Candle Dragon Space.

She first used fixed-point teleportation to exit the space.

Then, use Shen Huaichuan's teleportation array to return to Qingqiu to find the Divine Tree, and then use the system's fixed-point teleportation to return to the Blood Abyss.

This way, we can perfectly avoid the lurking demon cultivators on the Blood Abyss.

Moreover, they couldn't use the teleportation array before because they were worried that it would bring evil energy to the outside world.

Now the last bit of evil energy is locked inside Mu Yunjian's body, within Zhulong's fire, so the restrictions no longer exist.

Without hesitation, the system swiftly activated the teleportation array within the light of the Candle Dragon.

Before Zhu Jian could react, Yun Yici stepped into the teleportation array, her figure gradually being swallowed by the light.

Meanwhile, Wen Fuyue and the others outside only heard the sound of wind overhead.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful young woman in white rapidly changing her movements above their heads before successfully stabilizing herself and descending on her sword.

After regaining her balance, Yun Yici couldn't help but complain to the system: "Seriously, other people's teleportation arrays are all on the ground, why is yours so bizarrely located in the air?"

"Senior Shen has no spiritual power right now. If I descend from the sky, I might accidentally crush him to death."

System: "Mingwu and your master are still here. Wouldn't they become suspicious if they saw the teleportation array?"

"Besides, Shen Huaichuan isn't that fragile, so smash him boldly."

In just this short time, Yun Yici has successfully landed.

Everyone was both surprised and delighted. Wen Fuyue stepped forward with joy and carefully examined her before she was relieved to see that she was unharmed.

But when she discovered that only Yun Yici was there and Mu Yunjian was nowhere to be seen, Wen Fuyue's heart leaped into her throat again.

"Xiao Ci, did Senior Zhu Jian purify the evil energy from your senior brother's body?"

Yun Yici said, "Senior Brother Mu is fine. He is expelling evil spirits in the Candle Dragon Fire."

"When I heard what Senior Shen said, I suddenly had an idea: perhaps we could use Senior Shen's teleportation array to avoid the demon cultivators above the Blood Abyss."

Shen Huaichuan took out the fox-shaped jade buckle precisely because he intended to help.

Upon hearing this, he handed the fox-shaped jade buckle in his hand to Yun Yici and said, "Qingqiu should not know about the Ziya Blood Abyss yet."

"However, if you go alone, it will be extremely difficult to get from the Temple of Marriage to the Divine Tree."

Wen Fuyue said, "I will go with Xiao Ci."

Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan also said, "I am willing to go with them."

Mingwu also expressed his attitude.

The emperor, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up, reached out and grasped the fox-shaped jade buckle in Yun Yici's hand, and took her hand in his as well.

"I'll go."

"The fact that you people are walking together makes you too conspicuous and will only arouse the suspicion of the Qingqiu foxes."

"I will bring her back."

Shen Huaichuan nodded and said, "Please let go of my hand first."

The emperor, recalling Shen Huaichuan's earlier advice, retorted angrily, "I won't let you go, what are you going to do about it?"

Wen Fuyue glanced at the bewildered Yun Yici and the tightly held fox jade buckle, and coughed lightly, saying, "Imperial decree, Fellow Daoist Shen, your formation requires blood as a catalyst."

If you hold it so tightly, someone's blood will drip onto your hand and you'll have to go take a shower.

The emperor stiffened and released his hand. Shen Huaichuan exerted a little force with his fingertips, and the wound on his palm that had not yet healed reopened.

Blood dripped onto the fox-shaped jade buckle. When the emperor saw the buckle begin to emit a white light, he quickly grasped Yun Yici's hand.

As the formation activated, the two people within it also disappeared within the formation when the white light vanished.

When Yun Yici opened her eyes, she saw a beautiful marriage tree swaying in front of her, with countless fluttering prayer ribbons hanging from it.

The emperor also looked up at this scene, thinking of Shen Huaichuan's nonsense about losing because of mutual affection, and felt annoyed. He just wanted to tear down all the gaudy flowers on the tree.

He took a deep breath, looked at the beautiful and resolute profile of the girl beside him, and then slowly released his hand.

"Let's go, isn't Zhulong going to talk to the divine tree?"

Yun Yici responded and, together with the Emperor's decree, rode their swords out of the Temple of Marriage and soared straight into the heavens.

Unfortunately, this time, without Bai Wu's cloud beast to invite them, they were stopped by the guards before they could enter the inner city.

The emperor took out a token from his sleeve and waved it, and only then did the guards let them in.

Yun Yici asked curiously, "What is that?"

The emperor decreed, "This was a gift from Bai Wu when she exchanged things with me before."

Yun Yici stopped asking questions. What worried her was that the inner city was already heavily guarded, and she didn't know if they would be able to get to the divine tree smoothly later.

Fortunately, her worries did not come true, and Bai Ruo and Li Ji returned to Qingqiu from Ziya Blood Abyss.

The four of them met on the way, all heading towards the same destination.

With Bai Ruo leading the way, the elders and guards of the clan's territory let them pass without asking any questions.
