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

Yun Yici moved cautiously but very quickly, and soon arrived outside a cave.

She gripped Huai Chuan tightly, ready to attack, and with a powerful leap, she jumped directly into the cave.

That's when their eyes met those of a handsome, ethereal male cultivator in white robes who was playing a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument) in the bird's nest.

Yun Yici was stunned for a moment, and the male cultivator's eyes were already filled with tears. He rushed forward and tried to hug her leg: "Family!! Did you come to save me??"

Luckily, she dodged quickly and narrowly escaped being caught in his arms.

Yun Yici abandoned her sense of hearing and could only infer what the male cultivator was saying from the shape of his lips.

However, as soon as the male cultivator stopped, a faint sound came from the depths of the dark cave behind him, and he quickly continued playing the suona in his hand.

Yun Yici leaned closer to him and said, "I am Yun Yici, a disciple of the Nanhua Sect. Fellow Daoist, you should be a disciple of the Xuanyin Sect. May I ask what brings you here?"

Actually, she wanted to ask him what he was doing blowing this thing around.

The male cultivator didn't dare stop talking, and turned his head to gesture towards the great demon king hidden in the darkness.

Yun Yici paused for a moment, then raised Huai Chuan in her hand and quietly slipped into the darkness.

The male cultivator's nest was located on the outer edge, so the odor was relatively mild. Upon entering, Yun Yici was nauseated by the stench emanating from the nest.

That makes sense; these monstrous birds eat, drink, and relieve themselves all in their nests, no wonder they smell so bad.

Go further in, it doesn't really matter whether you shield your vision or not, because it's completely dark inside, and even with shared vision, you can't see anything at all.

Moreover, there were many foreign objects under her feet that birds use to build their nests, so she had to move very slowly and very carefully in order not to step on these objects and make a sound.

Yun Yici blocked her hearing, so she couldn't hear anything. However, the heat in the air made her guess that a huge creature was sleeping in the darkness.

The male disciple from the Xuan Yin Sect outside was probably captured as prey.

He kept playing off-key music, probably because his music could put the monster to sleep.

Yun Yici took out a luminous pearl from her hand, which she used for illumination at night. Fortunately, in the dim light, there were no eyes like those in a deep pool staring at her.

The demonic bird in front of me was fast asleep, its head buried in its wings. Its claws were sharp and gleaming, and its wings were broad, with feathers like sharp swords.

Beside the demon bird's head was a round spiritual pearl, shimmering with a watery light under the luminous pearl, as large as Yun Yici's fist.

The colorful spirit pearl had no light at all in the darkness, and Yun Yici immediately concluded that it was no ordinary object.

She wanted to take the spirit pearl, but was afraid of waking the demon bird.

One demonic bird is not scary; the problem is that there are countless demonic birds inhabiting the entire cliff.

If they all fly out to attack her, it won't be easy to deal with.

Yun Yici took out several ignition talismans and explosion talismans from his storage bag and quietly stuck them around the bird's nest.

Then, with lightning speed, he immediately stole the spirit pearl.

The spirit pearl was stolen, and the demon bird was instantly awakened. Yun Yici immediately lit the ignition talismans and explosion talismans around the nest.

The fire engulfed the entire nest. The burning demon bird was too preoccupied to care about Yun Yici, who rushed out of the nest in a panic.

Yun Yici hurriedly followed behind and rushed out.

As the Xuan Yin Sect disciple was blowing on the air, he suddenly felt a wave of heat hit his face. In the next instant, a bird carrying fire flew out and set his clothes on fire.

As he jumped up and down, he saw another person rush out from inside.

The male cultivator panicked and quickly extinguished the flames on his body. Ignoring his tattered clothes, he cried out, "Fellow Daoist Yun! Fellow Daoist Yun! Wait for me!!"

The firebird flew straight into the sky, its long, sharp cry seemingly searching for water, or perhaps calling on its other gregarious tribes to avenge it.

In short, the demonic birds in the other caves kept poking their heads out.

Yun Yici grabbed the male cultivator and moved him upwards, while simultaneously diverting the flames from their previous cave into a nearby cave using the wind.

Despite the steep cliffs, there were always some tenacious vines and wild grasses. The fire spread along the growing plants, and the other demon birds were too busy to help themselves, so they all left their nests to search for the culprit.

Yun Yici led the male cultivator in the opposite direction, slipping into an empty nest on the road to gain some breathing room.

The nest also contained many fledglings and demon bird eggs that had not yet grown feathers and were therefore unable to fly away.

Yun Yici gained a lot of points by killing one monster with a single sword strike, and also took away a few more demon bird eggs.

The male cultivator followed behind, fearing that Yun Yici would abandon him there, so he dared not take any chances.

The two managed to climb up the cliff and successfully reunite with Fang Yunni and Ling Yue.

After the four met, they didn't need to say much and headed straight for the next teleportation point under Huai Chuan's guidance.

There are too many of these monster birds; they're not a good choice for racking up points.

Upon arriving in the next dimension, the four found a safe place, and Yun Yici finally removed the effects of Xiao Longxia's condition.

Fang Yunni and Ling Yue, who had been holding their breath, finally had the chance to ask who this strange man who had suddenly joined them was.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, who is this gentleman?"

The handsome male cultivator, whose clothes barely covered his body but whose good looks were still undeniable, said, "I am Shen Chu, a disciple of the Xuan Yin Sect."

"Thank you for saving me, Fellow Daoist Yun."

Shen Chu said, clearing her throat lightly, "I'll change my clothes first."

As he spoke, he casually took a white robe from his storage bag and draped it over himself.

Yun Yici then realized how wise Gu Ruyi was to upgrade their disciple robes; just look at the Xuan Yin Sect's disciple robes, they would break if burned.

While Shen Chu was changing clothes, Yun Yici said, "We had agreed on this before, but things didn't go as planned, so I brought up a few monster eggs to share."

She took out three monster eggs from her storage bag and distributed them to Ling Yue and the other two.

Fang Yunni and Shen Chu were both surprised and delighted, never expecting that they would get a share.

Yun Yici touched at least five beast eggs. She couldn't give Ling Yue the points she promised for the time being, but if she gave them to Ling Yue alone, she was afraid that the two of them would have some ideas.

After all, they had been traveling together, and Yun Yici wanted everyone to feel comfortable with each other.

Fang Yunni and Ling Yue both contributed, saving her a lot of time. Moreover, she also obtained that unknown spirit stone.

Fang Yunni was originally from the Beast Taming Sect, and having obtained a beast egg for free, she held Yun Yici in high esteem.

Shen Chu had initially been intimidated by Yun Yici's power, so she watched as Yun Yici collected the eggs. She never expected that she would still be able to get one herself, so she thanked her repeatedly.

After changing her clothes and putting away the monster egg, Shen Chu sighed repeatedly, "You don't know, as soon as I entered, I was in that same plane. I finally saw a monster, so I said I'd play a tune to put it to sleep and then kill it."

"I never expected to attract that strange bird here. It was lusting after me and took me back to its nest..."

Fang Yunni said, "Humans and demons have completely different aesthetic tastes. It must be that your music is so difficult to hear that the demon bird mistook it for a mate seeking among its own kind."

Yun Yici remarked that Shen Chu was truly a talented individual, capable of putting people to sleep by playing the suona.
