"Something unexpected happened, but it was nothing serious."
With a slight squeeze, the two spirit stones in his hands crumbled to ash. Liu Yu rose and spoke calmly.
He habitually concealed part of his strength. Thanks to his profound understanding of magic power and spiritual power, the aura and spirit pressure he displayed remained exactly as before, despite his advancement in cultivation.
As for Purple Rainbow, she naturally would not reveal such a thing.
In less than half a day after entering Brightnight Grotto-Heaven, he had obtained the spirit treasures Sunflower and Sun-Moon Spirit Spring.
Though there had been a small mishap, misfortune had instead turned into a blessing, allowing his body refining cultivation to advance further.
These gains left Liu Yu even more eager for the journey ahead. Having already lost some time, he could hardly wait to set out and scour the place for treasures.
"Enough idle talk. Several hours have already passed. Let us set out now."
"We cannot let the other cultivators and the Demon Race claim all the glory."
Feeling the fully replenished magic power within him, Liu Yu exchanged only a few quick words before making his decision.
"You are absolutely right, Fellow Daoist."
Huang Mei, Mo Mei, Kongzhao, and Purple Rainbow nodded in turn.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Soon, five streaks of escape light rose into the air and sped into the distance.
Within the differently colored escape lights, all five wore solemn expressions and remained highly vigilant, constantly extending their divine sense to guard against any unexpected danger.
Liu Yu led the way, with Huang Mei bringing up the rear, while Mo Mei and Kongzhao occupied the two flanks.
True Lord Zihong, the weakest among them, stayed in the safest position at the center because she received the smallest share of their gains.
