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

Fang Yunni and Ling Yue followed Yun Yici in a panicked run, but as they ran, it seemed as if they had entered a different time and space.

The fierce wind behind them had disappeared, and in front of them was a lush, dense forest, with birdsong occasionally drifting from the verdant canopy.

Once freed, Fang Yunni quickly took the cat she was holding out of her arms and checked its injuries.

Qin Zhen's knife struck the spirit cat's hind leg precisely, and the blood flowing from the wound stained the spirit cat's entire hind body, as well as Fang Yunni's clothes.

Fortunately, the civet was still breathing. It struggled to stick out its tongue and lick its owner's fingers, as if trying to comfort her.

Fang Yunni wiped away her tears, took out a healing pill for spirit beasts from her storage bag, fed it to the spirit cat, sprinkled some medicine for treating external injuries, bandaged the wound, and then put the spirit cat back into the spirit beast bag to rest.

Yun Yici didn't know if the spirit beast's injuries would heal automatically after it left.

Seeing that the place was relatively peaceful, she did not urge Fang Yunni.

Taking advantage of this time, Ling Yue explained to her, "I also met Fellow Daoist Fang on the way."

After settling the spirit cat, Fang Yunni stood up and said to Yun Yici, "I must thank Fellow Daoist Yun, otherwise the two of us would probably have been sent away by now."

As she spoke, she untied her storage bag, took out two talismans from it, and handed them to Yun Yici, saying, "I once promised to give all my points to Fellow Daoist Yun. These mother and child talismans are treasures I found in the plane two years ago."

She further explained, "It was originally agreed that the treasures found in the first plane would belong to me, and the treasures found in the second plane would belong to Fellow Daoist Ling Yue."

"But we ran into the Wuji Dao Sect as soon as we arrived in the second plane, so this is all we have."

Fang Yunni looked uneasy after she finished speaking, hoping that the mother-child talisman she had given her could save her life.

After all, Qin Zhen had been killed by Yun Yici, and now her and Ling Yue's lives were entirely in Yun Yici's hands.

This was something Fang Yunni had promised before, so Yun Yici didn't refuse and accepted the pair of mother and child talismans.

As for breaking her promise and killing someone, she certainly wouldn't do such a thing.

Seeing that Yun Yici had no intention of making a move, Fang Yunni secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't teleported out, there would always be other opportunities to earn points.

Ling Yue asked at the opportune moment, "I wonder what Fellow Daoist Yun's plans are next?"

Fang Yunni was very quick to react and immediately took out a squeaking golden satin mouse from another spirit beast bag.

She said, "The divination of Lingyue Daoyou indicates that I have a treasure-hunting rat, and the two of us are willing to serve you."

Yun Yici was slightly tempted, but the problem was that this would essentially make her their henchman.

How are the treasures divided?

She would be at a huge disadvantage if the three of them split the profits equally; it would be better for her to act alone.

Seeing Yun Yici hesitate, Fang Yunni quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Yun, I am willing to reunite with my sect's disciples. Before that, I am willing to wholeheartedly help you and will not take a single penny from you."

Ling Yue then said, "You can have everything, but I want one-tenth of the points."

The conditions offered by these two people were very low. Fang Yunni's only request was to receive Yun Yici's protection before encountering her fellow disciples.

Ling Yue, on the other hand, demanded one out of ten points, which was already as low as Yun Yici's previous plan of an equal split.

In addition, since Lingyue's master Feng Nian and Wen Fuyue were old friends, she couldn't refuse them out of courtesy or reason.

As for points, it's just a matter of her leaving Ling Yue a chance to breathe while she's killing monsters.

So the three of them set off together. Fang Yunni's treasure-hunting rat twitched its long whiskers, instantly guiding them in the right direction.

Birds occasionally flew by in the dense forest, and Fang Yunni, who was fluent in animal language, would sometimes make sounds similar to birdsong.

As the three traveled, Fang Yunni said with delight, "The spirit birds in this forest are called Suqing. They say that the habitat of some kind of large demon bird is ahead. Because they could not bear the invasion of the demon bird, they moved their entire clan to this dense forest."

The demonic bird not only eats these spirit birds called Suqing, but also their eggs. In order to ensure the continuation of their species, they have to move away from their home where they depend for survival.

The lush, dense forest was gradually left behind, and the scene before them gradually opened up into a large flat area, but there was not a trace of the demon bird.

Just as the treasure-hunting mouse on Fang Yunni's shoulder was about to search again, a sudden gust of wind arose.

Yun Yici looked up and saw a demonic bird with wings that seemed to hang from the sky flying in one direction, clutching a dead, unknown demonic beast at its feet.

Fortunately, the demon bird was in a hurry to return to its nest with its prey and did not notice them.

The three concealed themselves and held their breath as they approached the direction the demonic bird had left.

After traveling for about an hour, the group finally arrived at the place indicated by the treasure-hunting rat.

Before them, the solid yellow earth seemed to have been cleaved open by a sword, transforming into a deep canyon.

They were standing at one end of the canyon, with the other end a great distance away, making it impossible to cross without external assistance.

A misty fog hung in the middle, and the hoarse, mocking calls of birds could be heard coming from the cracks.

Fang Yunni lowered her voice and said, "The demon bird's lair should be here, but I don't know if the treasure is an egg or something else..."

Monster eggs are treasures to cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect, but not necessarily to cultivators of other sects.

Ling Yue quickly determined a spot by making a hand seal with one hand. "Fellow Daoist Yun, this place is worth trying."

Yun Yici looked down and saw that the crack was so deep that the bottom could not be seen. On their side, there were holes carved into the steep rock wall, which was like a cliff, and the cries were coming from the holes.

It seems that the demon bird, having built its nest on this wall, will find it hard to encounter any natural enemies.

Just as the three were about to go down, they suddenly heard a loud, off-key melody coming from below.

The three people couldn't help but cover their ears because of the unpleasant sound. It turned out that even the noisy birdsong had been momentarily silenced by the awful noise.

The next moment, as if to drown out the unpleasant music, the birdsong below grew even louder.

The hoarse bird calls mixed with strange music, wave after wave, the sound waves rising three feet high. Even Yun Yici didn't want to risk getting her ears pierced by going down there.

The system then promptly promoted its product: "Our Little Deaf and Blind Card was prepared for this very moment. What do you think? It's a product of the system, absolutely no junk."

Yun Yici truly hadn't expected to need the Deaf and Blind Card outside of her dreams. She said, "It's alright if I can't hear, but if I can't see, I'll have to rely on my senses to fight those demonic birds as soon as I go down."

The system said, "Although Shen Huaichuan is not here, Huaichuan is. Huaichuan itself is a sword, and its hearing and vision rely entirely on spiritual thought. You can share vision with it."

Ling Yue and Fang Yunni were already suffering from splitting headaches. Yun Yici didn't dare to delay, so she told the two to step aside, and after sharing her vision with Huai Chuan, she blocked her hearing and jumped down.

The blade of her sword pierced the steep rock face, slowing her descent.

Guided by the wind, avoiding the caves where the demonic birds roosted, they slowly approached the cave from which the music was coming from.
