Chapter 126 A Trip to Penglai (9)
Shi Ming's process of finding other disciples went relatively smoothly, and almost all of them were able to join him.
The direct disciples of the five major sects undoubtedly became the leaders.
"What do we say now?"
Luo Zai Shui cleared her throat; she was feeling much better than before. "We need to get out of here quickly; Master and the others are still waiting outside."
Some people couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't the elders here? Demons have appeared here!"
Seeing the panic among the crowd, Luo Zai Shui could only explain the truth: "Now there are demons not only in the secret realm, but also outside the secret realm. They captured you to use you as a threat. They are negotiating right now, so we need to get out as soon as possible so that the threat will be gone."
"But how can we get out?"
"That's right, those demons are too strong. Going out means certain death, and there's simply no way to leave."
Luo Zai Shui steadied himself: "I have broken through a gap in the secret realm's barrier, and we can get out from there, but the demons may have already discovered it."
The two sides are currently at a stalemate, and it's impossible for anyone to be sent to pick them up. If they were to send someone, the demons would also take action, and neither side would necessarily gain an advantage.
Moreover, the Wen family seems... not to want them to go out and will definitely try every means to obstruct them.
From an outsider's perspective, Luo Zai Shui was better able to perceive the subtle thoughts of others than from his memories; the collusion between the Wen family and the demon race was already so obvious.
"Is there any other way to get out?"
Chu Yeli pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Shi Ming: "Let's join forces to lure the demons away, and then you two hurry up and get out. You and I are fast enough to shake them off."
Shi Ming frowned subconsciously. Too many tragedies like this had happened today. This was not a good solution. Before he could refuse, Jian Muyi leaned closer.
"Let me distract them. Although I'm not as fast as Senior Brother, I can match Senior Brother Chu's speed-up talisman."
Xue Xin pulled him away. This kid was injured in the waist while protecting him, yet he was still being disobedient: "Senior brother, let me go. He's still injured and can't go fast. I use the Wind Riding Technique better than him."
Ji Tinghan pulled Xue Xin aside: "You still have to take care of your senior sister. Come on, neither of you can keep up with my speed now. Besides, I can also draw speed-up talismans."
"I go!"
"I go!"
"Let me go!"
"Neither of you can beat me! Let me go!"
"Given the state of the two of you, you might as well let me go!"
Luo Zai Shui, her head throbbing from the noise, yelled, "Stop!"
The three who had almost come to blows fell silent instantly. No kidding, even if it were the sickly senior sister, she could easily handle the three of them. And even without her, the senior brother behind her was no pushover either.
Luo Zai Shui rubbed his temples: "No need to go. Let's change our approach and blow up a new escape route."
Shi Ming understood what she meant: "You want to blow another hole in the barrier?"
“Yes.” Luo Zai Shui nodded. “This secret realm is very large. The demons will not be able to search it all in a short time. This place will be discovered sooner or later. Why don’t we go deeper into the secret realm and find another way to survive?”
Chu Yeli considered the feasibility for a moment: "Yes, although there aren't many array masters, they should be able to break this barrier if they work together. However, the problem right now is that we're too conspicuous, and we might be discovered while we're heading deeper into the secret realm."
"That's easy, use an invisibility talisman."
Luo Zai Shui pulled out more than ten invisibility talismans: "Do you have any more? If not, I'll have to draw them on the spot."
Invisibility talismans are not commonly used. Usually, talisman cultivators will keep some on hand as a precaution to avoid situations where they are hunted down by demons or monsters and have nowhere to hide. But clearly, they have already run out of invisibility talismans.
Several talisman practitioners gathered together to prepare to draw talismans.
Luo dipped the tip of her brush in vermilion, and before she could put pen to paper, a hand grabbed her brush.
Ji Tinghan approached her and said expectantly, "Senior sister, you haven't taught me how to draw an invisibility talisman yet."
Luo Zai Shui reluctantly handed him the pen, then gently grasped his hand: "Look carefully, this is what the invisibility talisman looks like."
Her spiritual power guided Ji Tinghan's spiritual power to flow through the tip of the brush, and the invisibility talisman was formed in one stroke.
"Did you remember?"
Ji Tinghan nodded, then took out another talisman and, imitating Luo Zaishui's manner, drew an invisibility talisman and handed it to Luo Zaishui for inspection.
Luo Zai Shui took the talisman and examined it carefully. After confirming that there were no problems, he paused for a moment.
Is there still so much I haven't taught Tinghan?
The invisibility charm can save your life in a critical moment; I must learn that.
There's also the Tracking Talisman, which is used a lot, and he probably hasn't finished learning it yet.
and also……
We need to teach him as soon as he gets out.
Luo Zai Shui didn't understand why she was so anxious. She was just... just worried that she wouldn't have enough time to teach him these things, or to prepare them for parting.
Luo Zai Shui was secretly saddened, but pretended to be indifferent and smiled: "Not bad, keep it up."
After saying that, she took out a pen to help, but Shi Ming silently took the pen from her hand and said, "You should rest. Don't let Ting Han's good intentions go to waste."
Ji Tinghan was very focused as he lay on the ground drawing talismans. Nothing in the outside world seemed to be able to disturb him. Drawing talismans was as simple as eating and drinking for him.
This is the direct transmission from Xianyun Peak.
Drawing the talismans took quite a while, but thankfully no demons managed to find their way here.
Without saying a word, Shi Ming carried Luo Zai Shui on his back, and Jian Muyi carried Ye Xiao on his back. Once they were sure that the invisibility talismans on their bodies had taken effect, they immediately set off for the depths of the secret realm.
Luo Zai Shui, who was lying on Shi Ming's body, was alert to the movement around her.
The ground seemed to be trembling, and Shi Ming and the others noticed these anomalies.
Chu Yeli looked around but didn't see any large demonic beasts: "What's going on?"
Nie Xushuang didn't notice anything else unusual: "It might be an earthquake. Everyone should try to stay in open areas."
Luo Zai Shui whispered in Shi Ming's ear, "Senior brother, can you tell where the sound is coming from?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Ming knelt on one knee, supporting Luo Zai Shui on his back with one hand and feeling the tremor with the other. He shook his head: "It seems to be coming from all directions. There's no way to pinpoint exactly where the tremor is coming from."
"Let's go then."
The reason for this unusual movement on the battlefield is that staying put is not a good idea.
Once everyone had arrived, Chu Yeli first set up a concealment array.
"Are you sure you can break through here?"
Chu Yeli appeared to be looking up at the sky, but in reality, he was observing the barrier of the secret realm.
The secret realm is imbued with spirit. Breaking the barrier from the outside is easy, but attacking from the inside will most likely be stopped by the secret realm itself.
Luo Zai Shui took out one magical artifact after another from his storage bag: "We can only try it out first."
Chu Yeli also threw countless explosive talismans into the air.
"break--"
The loud noise not only startled the monsters in the secret realm, but also alerted the demon race.
"Ha, found it. So this is where it was. Ants, are you ready to die?"
The female demon dragged her long whip and hurried step by step toward Luo Zai Shui and the others.
On the other side, the monsters also began to stir.
