"Sister Lan?"
Chen Yi subconsciously turned his head to look at Rong Xuelan's side, but for some reason, he couldn't see Rong Xuelan's figure.
However, Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she wasn't there, so he wouldn't have to worry about Junior Sister Rong offending the people from Yueqing Mountain again.
He remembered very clearly that the first time Rong Xuelan met Lan Xuerou, there had been an unpleasant incident due to their names.
Chen Yi stepped forward to help Lan Xuerou, but she took a step back.
He didn't feel awkward and asked, "Senior Sister Lan, how did you get out of the Tun Tian Beast's belly?"
"Daoist Chen Yi?"
Lan Xuerou and Yue Miaomiao ran out in a panic. They had not expected that passing through the sky above the mangrove forest would lead to the real outside world.
She calmed herself down before recognizing Chen Yi.
Upon hearing Chen Yi's words, Lan Xuerou instantly understood that they must have been transported into the belly of a spirit beast by the secret realm.
Yue Miaomiao also recognized him and frowned, "Why are you here? If you're here, then Rong Xuelan..."
Without thinking, Yue Miaomiao pulled Lan Xuerou and turned to run.
She absolutely did not want to see that unreasonable young lady Rong Xuelan!
"Miaomiao!" Lan Xuerou was startled as Yue Miaomiao, like a small cannonball, rushed recklessly towards the raging and roaring Tun Tian Beast. She quickly pulled her away, "Don't run around!"
Chen Yi also quickly said, "Junior Sister Yue, Junior Sister Rong is not with us right now."
For some unknown reason, Chen Yi concealed the fact that Rong Xuelan was accompanying them.
Just then, Yun Youyue and Jing Lan also flew over.
"Youyue, Young Master Jing," Chen Yi said worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Yun Youyue waved her hand, "Who are these two fellow Daoists?"
As Chen Yi was about to introduce them, Jing Lan had already said, "This is Junior Sister Yue Miaomiao from the Hongyi Daojun sect of Yueqing Mountain, and this is Senior Sister Lan Xuerou from the Linglong Painter sect."
As for Qiu Wei, who was being led by Lan Xuerou, he was directly ignored by Jing Lan and the others.
A Nascent Soul early stage cultivator who had fainted was not worth their effort to befriend.
Yun Youyue's heart quickly connected the identities of the two. The smile on her face faded, and she greeted them coldly, "Greetings, two fellow Daoists. What did you do inside the Tun Tian Beast's belly?"
She and Jing Lan had just used seventy to eighty percent of their strength to barely fend off the Tun Tian Beast, but these two came out and made the Tun Tian Beast arch its back in pain, roaring with impotent rage. It was even too preoccupied to attack them at the moment.
It wasn't that Yun Youyue looked down on people; she just couldn't believe these two junior sisters had the ability to wound the Tun Tian Beast.
"Oh, right." Chen Yi only then realized that Yun Youyue and Jing Lan had been suppressed by the Tun Tian Beast just now, and now they had time to come and chat.
He turned his head and saw that the Tun Tian Beast's back was arched, bulging like a large mound that rose and fell, but it was not attacking them. Instead, it was roaring angrily.
Chen Yi did not see the Tun Tian Beast repeatedly patting its abdomen with its tentacles and asked in confusion, "Is it going to die?"
Jing Lan glanced at him, "No. Neither Youyue nor I know what happened to it."
Most importantly, even though the Tun Tian Beast was so furious, it hadn't moved an inch, making it impossible for him and Yun Youyue to seize the opportunity to snatch the Cold Pond Blood Lingzhi.
"The two fellow Daoists still haven't answered me." Yun Youyue stared intently at them.
Yue Miaomiao was unhappy, "Who are you? Why should we tell you what we did?"
She turned to Lan Xuerou and said, "Sister, we need to save Uncle-Master." With that, she grabbed her sword and charged towards the Tun Tian Beast.
Lan Xuerou nodded, placed Qiu Wei in a safer place nearby, and followed.
"Stop!"
Yun Youyue flashed and blocked in front of them, "You are not allowed to go."
She frowned tightly and gave Jing Lan and Chen Yi a look. The two instantly understood and surrounded Lan Xuerou and Yue Miaomiao from three directions.
"What do you want?" Yue Miaomiao's face tensed, her cat-like pupils narrowing, and she warily watched the few people with her sword.
Lan Xuerou was much calmer. She guessed that these people were guarding the area because there was some treasure around the Tun Tian Beast, and she patiently explained.
"Fellow Daoists, we only want to kill the Tun Tian Beast to save someone. We will not steal your opportunities."
Yun Youyue did not believe them.
Although she had advanced to Mahayana, her cultivation had always been unstable because it was not truly cultivated.
This problem of hers, while not major, was not minor. Even finding an alchemist would be difficult to solve, but this Saint-tier Cold Pond Blood Lingzhi, which was rarely seen in a thousand years, could just clear her mind and consolidate her cultivation.
It was simply prepared for her!
Therefore, she was determined to obtain the Cold Pond Blood Lingzhi and would not tolerate any mistakes.
Thinking of the Tun Tian Beast, which seemed to have lost more than half of its fighting power, Yun Youyue said coldly, "Then you stand here and wait for us to kill the Tun Tian Beast, and your companion will be saved."
She felt she had already done her utmost. It was already very good that she hadn't used them to first wear down the Tun Tian Beast's combat power before snatching things.
Lan Xuerou's expression was not very good. With great patience, she said, "Fellow Daoist, our friend is still inside the Tun Tian Beast, and we cannot delay. If you are worried, we can make a Dao oath not to steal your opportunity."
"Who knows if your Yueqing Mountain has ways to evade the punishment of Dao oaths?" Yun Youyue did not believe them.
She had learned this during her time in the Outer Continent; Dao oaths could not restrain people from great sects at all.
Lan Xuerou's good temper was about to break, let alone Yue Miaomiao.
"Are you sick in the head?" Yue Miaomiao rolled her eyes to the sky. "If you have the ability to block us, why don't you kill the Tun Tian Beast yourself first?"
Yun Youyue's sore spot had been hit.
She was precisely seeing how weak the Tun Tian Beast appeared now, which was why she wanted to deal with these two people who had suddenly appeared first.
"Be quiet!" She glanced coldly at Yue Miaomiao, raised her hand, and struck Yue Miaomiao with a palm!
"Bang!"
Lan Xuerou stood in front of Yue Miaomiao and took the palm strike.
"Pfft!"
"Sister!" Yue Miaomiao, seeing Lan Xuerou spit blood, was instantly enraged. She supported Lan Xuerou and unhesitatingly formed a hand seal to activate her long sword and kill Yun Youyue!
Yun Youyue had not put Yue Miaomiao in her eyes at all. She looked coldly at Yue Miaomiao and prepared to cripple these two with all her might. Suddenly, she heard Chen Yi and Jing Lan's exclamation.
"Youyue, be careful!"
Yun Youyue instinctively felt danger, turned around, and struck backward with a palm, hitting the Tun Tian Beast that had stood up and was running towards them.
"Roar!"
The Tun Tian Beast, stimulated by something unknown, actually stood up from its seated position and rushed towards them with a gulping sound. Its gaping maw was spewing saliva everywhere, and the foul breath it exhaled was directly blown into Yun Youyue's face.
"Get lost!" Yun Youyue's face immediately darkened. She drew her sword and said to Chen Yi, "Quickly use the Zhen Tian Axe and the Jin Shi Bei Yu Cup!"
"Oh, okay!" Chen Yi came back to his senses and immediately summoned the Jin Shi Bei Yu Cup.
A small golden cup flew into the air, emitting a brilliant golden light. The Tun Tian Beast's movements paused for a moment.
Next, the Zhen Tian Axe in Chen Yi's hand and Yun Youyue's sword landed on the Tun Tian Beast, severing its tentacles.
The Tun Tian Beast had no limbs, only various wet and wriggling tentacles all over its body. Every tentacle cut off would weaken its combat power.
"Sister, let's hurry and save Uncle-Master too!"
Lan Xuerou nodded and, with Yue Miaomiao, flew towards the Tun Tian Beast again.
Yun Youyue saw that her side had already suppressed the Tun Tian Beast and was unwilling to let these two interfere. She shouted sternly, "Get lost!"
Accompanying her voice was a sharp palm wind, showing no hidden killing intent, directly aimed at Yue Miaomiao in the front!
"Yun Youyue! How dare you!"
Bai Shengyi, who had broken through the Tun Tian Beast's belly, saw this scene and was instantly enraged. He threw his Chun Hong Sword directly, blocking the palm wind, and then, with a flick of his wrist, stabbed at Yun Youyue.
The sword light, swift and sharp, tore through the air. Yun Youyue instinctively raised her sword to block, but she was directly sent flying by a great force!
With a "bang," she crashed heavily into a nearby tree!
"Uncle-Master!" Yue Miaomiao joyfully ran towards Bai Shengyi.
Bai Shengyi, after hitting Yun Youyue, still had to deal with the Tun Tian Beast. He shook his head at Yue Miaomiao, "Don't come over. Take your sister to the side."
This Tun Tian Beast was already at the late stage of Soul Transformation. Yue Miaomiao and Lan Xuerou would only be sending themselves to their deaths if they went forward. It was better to stay far away.
The Samsara Brush said speechlessly, "If you care about them, just say so."
Having been with Bai Shengyi for so long, how could it not know Bai Shengyi's peculiar fondness for cat-like pupils!
If Yue Miaomiao had phoenix eyes, would Bai Shengyi still be so doting and benevolent towards her as an elder!
