Joint Action

"I'm not afraid, because I know you aren't that kind of person." Xiao Tian looked Yun Yun straight in the eyes.

Yun Yun avoided Xiao Tian's gaze, nodded slightly, and said softly, "Amethyst Spirit Crystal is usually kept inside the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Mountain Cave. Tomorrow, I'll lure the Amethyst Winged Lion King away. As for you... I'd like you to enter the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Mountain Cave and help me find the Amethyst Spirit Crystal."

Xiao Tian nodded slightly. "No problem."

"I'll cultivate for a while first and increase my strength a bit. That'll give me a little more confidence for tomorrow's operation. You should get some proper rest."

After Xiao Tian finished speaking, he crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and began cultivating, giving Yun Yun some time.

Yun Yun quietly stared at Xiao Tian's handsome, spirited face, not knowing what she was thinking. For a long time, she could not snap back to herself.

Night arrived. Xiao Tian looked inward at his own body, watching the six strands of red Thunder circling around his Dou Crystal, then slowly opened his eyes.

Xiao Tian stood up and came before the stone platform. Looking at Yun Yun lying on it like a sleeping beauty, he took out a Robe and gently draped it over her body. Then he turned and walked out of the Mountain Cave.

After Xiao Tian left, Yun Yun opened her eyes. Her jade-like hand touched the clothes covering her body, and ripples stirred in her heart for no reason.

Early the next morning.

Xiao Tian, who had kept watch at the entrance of the Mountain Cave all night, heard the sound of footsteps. He suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head. "The Seal has been undone?"

A woman walked out from inside the Mountain Cave. She wore a plain snow-white dress, her hair was bound up by a Phoenix Hairpin, and her expression was calm and elegant. Her entire body exuded nobility.

"Mm. It was undone just this morning," she said crisply, but her voice this time was different from before, carrying a trace of cold indifference.

"Yun Zhi like this... I don't like it. I still prefer the way you were before," Xiao Tian said as he looked at Yun Yun.

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Yun Yun's body stiffened, then she recovered. "Since you're awake too, get ready to set out. Take this crystal. When it gets close to the Amethyst Spirit Crystal, it'll heat up. You can rely on it to find the Amethyst Spirit Crystal."

Yun Yun took out an Emerald Crystal from her Storage Ring and handed it over. A pair of green Dou Qi Wings appeared behind her.

"Then let's handle the important business first." Xiao Tian took the crystal and hung it around his neck, then immediately walked to Yun Yun's side and hugged her waist.

"Jiang Feng, what are you doing?" Yun Yun was completely stunned by Xiao Tian's actions and asked angrily.

"The Amethyst Winged Lion King Cave is so far from here. Are you expecting me to run there?" Xiao Tian said innocently.

Hearing this, Yun Yun took a deep breath and said, "I'm warning you, don't move around. Otherwise, I'll throw you down."

"Don't worry, I'm the most honest person there is. I won't move around." Xiao Tian said with a beaming smile.

The wings behind Yun Yun relaxed, and Xiao Tian hurriedly hugged her tightly. Their figures instantly shot straight into the sky.

As they flew, all of Yun Yun's body fragrance entered Xiao Tian's nose. He could not help sniffing and murmured, "It smells so good!"

Because the two of them were tightly hugging each other, Xiao Tian's voice entered her ears. Yun Yun's delicate body could not help trembling, and a blush dyed her cheeks. Even their flying altitude dropped a little. "If you talk nonsense again, I'll throw you down."

Xiao Tian shut his mouth and said nothing, quietly sniffing the fragrance again. Yun Yun knew about Xiao Tian's little movements, but she paid no attention to the thick-skinned Xiao Tian.

A streak of green light flashed across the horizon and quietly descended not far from the Amethyst Winged Lion King Cave.

After landing, Xiao Tian very consciously released his hands and looked toward the cave at the peak of the mountain ridge not far away.

"The defenses around it are much tighter. In a moment, I'll do my best to kill or injure the High-tier Magical Beasts at the cave entrance. Find a chance to sneak inside." Yun Yun swept her gaze around, her fine brows slightly furrowing. "Also... Jiang Feng, be careful."

"No problem. You be careful too. Don't get hurt." Xiao Tian nodded, indicating that he understood.

Yun Yun nodded. A thin sword appeared in her hand, and with a shake of the wings behind her, she dove toward the Dense Forest below the Mountain Cave. Miserable beast roars rang out one after another from within the Dense Forest.

"Human woman! You actually dare show yourself again?! Today, I'll take your life to avenge the destruction of my horn!" A lion with a body covered in purple crystals and twin wings on its back instantly flew out from the Mountain Cave. The Amethyst Winged Lion King's roar suddenly rang out.

One green and one purple ray of light, one chasing and one fleeing, shot straight into the sky. Then, high in the air above a thousand meters, they began a fierce clash.

Xiao Tian saw that the Guard Demonic Beasts had been wiped out cleanly. His feet stepped across the ground, and he flew swiftly toward the Mountain Cave.

As he passed a large rock, Xiao Tian discovered a familiar figure and flew closer. "Xiao Yanzi, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Yan, who was lying on the rock and sneaking around, had long since discovered Xiao Tian as well under Yao Lao's reminder. "Wasn't I just passing by? I heard beast roars, so I came over to see what was going on."

"Since you're here too, come inside with me now and help me find something." Xiao Tian grabbed Xiao Yan by the shoulder and flew rapidly forward.

"Okay."

Arriving before the cave entrance, Xiao Tian looked at the two Third-order Magical Beasts crouching on the ground and trembling as they looked up at the sky. He frowned, grabbed Xiao Yan with one hand, condensed the Thunder Halberd with the other, formed the Thunder Peng Wings behind him, and quietly gathered power for the Thunder Halberd Technique: Moon Slash.

"Tian Ge, you... you're fucking a Dou Wang now?" Xiao Yan stared at Xiao Tian with his mouth wide open.

"No. Time is tight right now. I'll explain to you later." Xiao Tian casually said this, then swung Moon Slash at the two trembling Third-order Magical Beasts.

By the time the two Magical Beasts reacted, it was already too late. They were ambushed by the Crescent Energy and cut into two pieces.

"Let's go." Xiao Tian grabbed Xiao Yan, flapped his wings, and flew directly into the Mountain Cave.

As soon as they entered the Mountain Cave, the light inside was not as dim as imagined. The Mountain Cave was decorated with rings of purple crystal, making it look extremely magnificent.

Xiao Tian let go of Xiao Yan and walked deeper into the Mountain Cave. Xiao Yan hurriedly followed.

As they walked through the Mountain Cave, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were communicating. "Yan Er, that thing of your brother's isn't ordinary Dou Qi Wings. It's an extremely rare Dou Skill, a Flying Dou Skill."

"Flying Dou Skill?" Xiao Yan asked in confusion.

"It's a kind of Dou Skill that can give you the ability to fly," Yao Lao explained.

"Then, Teacher, do you have any? Just give me two or three."

"Not a single one, and you still want two or three? Dream on." Yao Lao laughed and scolded.

"Xiao Yanzi, hurry up and keep up. Stay close to me, or you'll get lost later," Xiao Tian called to Xiao Yan.

"Got it, Tian Ge."

The two arrived at a fork. Following his memory, Xiao Tian chose the passage on the right, because the Amethyst Spirit Crystal was on the right, while the left led to the Amethyst Origin. Besides, the Amethyst Origin needed the Amethyst Spirit Crystal to break open, so going there now would be useless.

After walking along the passage for a while, the view before them opened up again. In the center of the Mountain Cave lay a smaller Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Take this crystal. It'll heat up when it gets close to the Amethyst Spirit Crystal. Help me find the Amethyst Spirit Crystal where it's lying. I'll deal with this Little Amethyst Winged Lion King." Xiao Tian took out a crystal and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Tian activated Thunder Burst, and a Lightning Ball appeared in his hand. He hurled it at the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King.
