I Saw You Sleeping Together!
I'll fight you to the death!
Xu Qingqiu was surrounded by these Devil Creature and knew there was no hope left.
So, the only option is to kill as many as possible before they torture me to death.
She held the longsword and channeled her Immortal Power.
Urged on, he slashed at the Devil Creature before him.
"Whoosh!"
"Puff!"
"..."
However, every time she slashed with her sword, it was as if she were looking at a stagnant pool of water.
It has absolutely no effect.
Instead, this drove the Devil Creature even crazier.
"Prepare to die!"
"I've had enough fun!"
She's mine now!
"..."
After Xu Qingqiu slashed several times with his sword, the Devil Creature finally couldn't hold back any longer and began to attack.
"Get out of here now, and I'll let you die a quick death!"
Just then, Ning Qi's voice came from outside the encirclement.
"Hey, another one's here!"
"Act recklessly!"
Kill him!
"..."
Upon hearing his voice, the Devil Creature rushed towards Ning Qi.
"Ning Qi, watch out!"
Xu Qingqiu should have been happy to see Ning Qi.
But then she started to worry.
Ning Qi's strength is actually quite similar to hers.
She wasn't even a match for them, let alone Ning Qi?
These Devil Creature are incredibly strange; they are practically invincible here.
"Crimson Flame Immortal Technique!"
Seeing the Devil Creature approaching, Ning Qi suddenly activated his immortal technique.
As he unleashed his immortal technique, the surrounding raging Blazing Flame reignited.
It lunged to devour the Devil Creature before it.
"Ah!"
"What's this!"
"Divine Fire!"
"Why can you burn my soul!"
"..."
These Devil Creature were utterly powerless against the most intense yang fire in the world.
In the blink of an eye, Ning Qi burned it to ashes.
The stench of their decay was so strong that it dissipated into the air.
"Ning Qi!"
Xu Qingqiu watched as these Devil Creature were burned to ashes.
He rushed up excitedly and hugged Ning Qi tightly.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, and her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.
Just now, she felt that her life was coming to an end.
But at this final moment, Ning Qi appeared.
It gave her renewed hope.
Don't cry, we're all okay!
Ning Qi gently patted her back and comforted her, "I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
"What happened to you just now? I didn't even know when we broke up!"
Xu Qingqiu let go of his hand after hearing his words of comfort, her eyes filled with grievance.
"I suddenly felt you grab my hand, and from that moment on, I knew something was wrong!"
Looking back, I couldn't see anything clearly, but gradually I felt that you weren't yourself!
"Then I was surrounded by Devil Creature, and I wasn't a match for them at first!"
"Later, I used the Red Fire Immortal Art and my Chaotic Blazing Flame, only to discover that they were actually afraid of my Blazing Flame!"
Ning Qi laughed loudly, "In other words, we are invincible here."
"Neither the man-eating trees, nor these Devil Creature gates, nor those forests, are a match for my Chaos Blazing Flame!"
"This place is my natural enemy!"
"This is truly incredible!"
"I was in the same situation as you!"
Xu Qingqiu finally understood what was going on. "Luckily you have the Chaos Blazing Flame, otherwise we would have been in real trouble."
"Let's go, let's keep going!"
"I believe they'll be out soon!"
As Ning Qi spoke, he took Xu Qingqiu's hand and squeezed it twice. "That's right, it's warm and feels good!"
"You!"
Xu Qingqiu blushed slightly at his words.
However, there was no way to refute it.
This is indeed a way to distinguish between humans and Devil Creature.
"Alright, let's continue!"
"This will prevent them from taking advantage of any weaknesses!"
So, I'm not trying to take advantage of you!
Seeing her blushing face, Ning Qi couldn't help but smile and explain.
"Let's go! I don't want to stay here a second longer!"
Xu Qingqiu stopped arguing and urged Ning Qi to leave quickly.
"Good!"
Ning Qi agreed and then continued leading the way.
Xu Qingqiu followed obediently behind him.
The two walked together for more than an hour, and the gray fog in front of them finally began to thin out.
"They're finally out!"
After walking for a while, Xu Qingqiu saw the real oasis.
Even the Gobi beneath our feet is gone.
At this moment, they were standing on soft grass.
"You two, come out now, we're safe!"
As Ning Qi spoke, he released Medicine Spirit and the Nine-Tailed Cat.
"Call!"
"We're safe!"
We're out!
The two of them cheered and jumped for joy after they came out.
They were unaware of what had just happened.
Only when I saw the green mountains and clear waters before me did I realize that we were safe.
"Yes, it's safe now!"
Ning Qi looked at them, then looked ahead. "I feel like we've reached the end!"
"If we go out from here, we should reach the end of this route!"
"I'll see what lies at the end!"
"Alright! Let's hurry and set off!"
"Don't delay any longer!"
It's getting late!
Xu Qingqiu glanced at the sky.
After all that commotion, the sun was already starting to set again.
Another day has passed in the blink of an eye.
"Set off!"
Ning Qi let out a long sigh and continued leading the way.
This time, they walked on a flat lawn, where a misty, ethereal atmosphere filled the air.
"Look, there's a road ahead!"
Medicine Spirit followed them for a while and saw the road ahead.
He said, bouncing around.
"This is more like the path of the immortal sects."
Looking at the road ahead, Ning Qi couldn't help but say, "It seems we've come to the right place!"
"Look, there's still a road ahead!"
Xu Qingqiu glanced ahead and pointed, saying, "You're right, we're finally out."
"I just don't know what this immortal sect will have."
The Nine-Tailed Cat followed along, looking at the road with curiosity.
"Why don't we go up and take a look?"
Ning Qi smiled and continued forward.
The group walked for about half an incense stick's time, and the sun had already begun to set.
They finally arrived at the Mountain Gate of the Immortal Sect.
"This Mountain Gate is rather strange; it's different from the Mountain Gate of other immortal sects I've encountered before."
Ning Qi looked at the immortal sect before him and couldn't help but show a look of curiosity.
Look here!
Xu Qingqiu noticed something and called Ning Qi over to check the situation.
Ning Qi quickly came over and checked the situation with him.
"This is... the cultivation path of the Immortal Sect!"
"Only by going up from here can you gain the approval of the immortal sects!"
"A chance to enter the inner sect and become inner disciple!"
Medicine Spirit read it aloud, then exclaimed, "What we've experienced so far are the entrance tests for immortal sects!"
"The hills are actually designed to deliberately lure different people to different canyons."
"Different canyons present different challenges! In other words, the canyon we all entered at the beginning was the same."
"I see!"
Ning Qi suddenly realized.
"And another thing! The man-eating tree is the entry-level test for the trials in this canyon."
"This will test our physical strength; only those who aren't drained will be qualified to continue."
"The forest tests our insight!"
"The final Devil Creature is testing our resolve!"
The Medicine Spirit continued to explain, "Master, we forced our way through every single level like this!"
"This is also our fortuitous opportunity; otherwise, who could have come here like this?"
Ning Qi couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "Keep reading, keep reading, and see if there's anything fishy going on!"
"Master, these stone steps are a test of our resilience!"
"That is, our physical body and our soul can withstand multiple layers of pressure."
There are a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps here!
"If you can get past the last stone step, you'll become their personal disciple."
"Breaking through a thousand marks you as an inner disciple!"
The Medicine Spirit continued.
"Oh? The ability to withstand pressure?"
"Isn't this the same as my 'If Water Three Thousand '?"
Ning Qi burst into laughter upon hearing Medicine Spirit's words.
I never expected that I would encounter this kind of test after getting here.
Isn't this just a test delivered right to his doorstep?
"Can you withstand this pressure?"
Xu Qingqiu naturally understood his words and looked at Ning Qi with curiosity, asking him a question.
"Yes, this is too easy for me!"
"It's getting late, I'll teach you all night."
"If you learn from me and grasp the essence in one night, we can ascend together tomorrow!"
Ning Qi laughed loudly and then said, "You two, follow my example and let's go up the mountain together!"
"Huh? Can we?"
The Nine-Tailed Cat asked somewhat uncertainly.
"Of course, my master is very powerful!"
Medicine Spirit, on the other hand, wore a smug expression.
"Come, I'll teach you how to resist this oppressive force!"
"Let's start with my Formation!"
Ning Qi, true to his word, immediately began setting up his If Water Three Thousand Formation on the ground.
At first, the group was slow, but under his guidance...
Before it got completely dark, Xu Qingqiu actually learned Ning Qi's Water Runes Dao Resonance.
The Nine-Tailed Cat and the Medicine Spirit were only slightly different; the latter had learned how to resist the oppressive force.
And how to use one's own soul to resist this oppression.
They studied like that until the wee hours of the morning.
The Nine-Tailed Cat and the Medicine Spirit went to bed early.
Only Ning Qi and Xu Qingqiu remained.
"Ning Qi, I've learned it!"
Xu Qingqiu smiled and said to Ning Qi.
At this moment, beneath her feet was a Formation, namely If Water Three Thousand.
"Your talent is exceptional; I knew it from the very first moment I saw you break through the Formation and ascend the mountain!"
Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to go to the backyard of that bamboo house."
"I should thank you for helping me time and time again."
Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi with her beautiful eyes and continued, "Especially today, if it weren't for you, I would have chosen to self-destruct!"
"You're welcome, you've helped me a lot too!"
"Especially since I had company along the way, it wasn't too boring to talk to each other!"
Ning Qi shook his head, a smile appearing on his face, "Once we leave here, this trip is over!"
"I need to go back to my territory to check on things! I've been out here for a while now!"
I wonder how they are doing.
"Yes, I've been out for a while now."
"I believe that once we're out, Master and my uncles are still here."
"This place is too big. It will be very slow for them to search one by one!"
Xu Qingqiu sighed and glanced at Ning Qi: "You're going back now. I'll come find you sometime and visit your Mountain Gate!"
"Sure, I'm always welcome!"
Hearing her words, Ning Qi clapped his hands and said, "When the time comes, I'll let you taste the delicacies of our realm!"
"Go outside, I'll introduce you to my master and the others!"
They'll definitely like you!
"We are a hospitable nation!"
Xu Qingqiu became increasingly happy as she spoke, and was already preparing to introduce Ning Qi.
"If the opportunity arises, then yes!"
"However, let's go up the mountain tomorrow and see what benefits there are of becoming a direct disciple here!"
"After all, the immortal sects here have probably been destroyed many years ago!"
Ning Qi sighed and looked up at the top of the stone steps in front of him.
Looking back, one can vaguely see some magnificent palaces and pavilions.
Clearly, it's the mountain behind this Mountain Gate.
However, if you want to get up there, you have to get past this hurdle first.
Ning Qi is now full of confidence.
He was confident that he could pass the test.
"Yes, we can definitely do it!"
Xu Qingqiu responded.
The two chatted for a while longer before gradually drifting off to sleep.
The night flew by, and when they awoke again...
They were found to be lying on the same Bluestone Slab.
The two people were snuggling together.
When Ning Qi woke up, he found that Xu Qingqiu had just opened her eyes and was looking at him.
There was still a hint of shyness in her eyes.
"Oh dear... how did I fall asleep while we were chatting last night!"
Ning Qi was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Damn it."
"We fell asleep because we were so tired!"
Xu Qingqiu chuckled, her eyes filled with a strange look as she looked at the embarrassed Ning Qi.
This was the first time she had ever seen Ning Qi so embarrassed.
He himself wasn't entirely unaffected, yet he was.
"Owner!"
Just as the atmosphere between the two became awkward, the call of the Medicine Spirit could be heard.
"What's wrong? Why are you shouting so early in the morning!"
Ning Qi heard his shout and said irritably.
At the same time, he sat up from the Bluestone Slab and looked down.
Medicine Spirit sat on the back of the Nine-Tailed Cat, and in a few leaps, she arrived at their side.
Shall we set off now?
The Nine-Tailed Cat also looked at Xu Qingqiu curiously, asking about their arrangements.
"Yes, let's set off now and test its strength!"
Xu Qingqiu nodded and sat up as well, looking up at the stone steps in front of her.
"Let's go then! I feel like I can go straight to the top of the mountain!"
Medicine Spirit Lingfei was very confident and couldn't wait any longer.
"Let's go! Let's go up the mountain and check the situation."
Ning Qi nodded, then looked at Xu Qingqiu: "Miss Xu, are you ready?"
"Of course, let's see who gets to the top of the mountain first!"
Xu Qingqiu nodded and walked forward.
Ning Qi followed closely behind.
Medicine Spirit jumped off the Nine-Tailed Cat's back and landed on Ning Qi's shoulder, asking mysteriously, "Master, are you two having an affair? I saw you two sleeping together last night!"
"Shut up!"
Ning Qi reprimanded them.
