Chu Lingwei injected spiritual power into the bronze ancient sword, and instantly, the bronze ancient sword shone with red light. The pressure within the barrier also grew stronger. Two powerful spiritual forces collided, and the barrier began to tremble.
"Weiwei, be careful." Illusion Cat had already been collected into the space by Chu Lingwei. She had the protection of the bronze ancient sword, but he didn't.
Lan Xingyi, who was outside, felt the trembling at the barrier and turned around to watch what would happen next.
Chu Lingwei swung the bronze ancient sword and chopped towards the barrier.
Suddenly, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, mountains shook and the ground trembled. Spiritual power collided with spiritual power.
It was finally broken.
Chu Lingwei felt the pressure around her disappear. Her eyes showed joy. She stepped on her bronze ancient sword and flew towards Lan Xingyi.
"Second Uncle."
Chu Lingwei called Lan Xingyi to sit on her bronze ancient sword and flew towards the direction she had entered.
"Weiwei, we need to leave here quickly. I sense several powerful presences approaching." Lan Xingyi did not see his sister and others, and was a little worried in his heart, but he did not ask immediately, suppressing the question in his heart.
"Okay."
Chu Lingwei and the two arrived below Xiushui. Fortunately, nothing had changed here.
"Uncle, I'll split Xiushui, and we'll leave." Chu Lingwei used the same method, splitting the surface of the Xiushui River. In a flash, the two were already standing on the bank of the Xiushui River.
"Finally out."
Lan Xingyi looked at the Xiushui Lake surface, which had returned to its calm, emitting a faint blue light. Various spiritual flowers bloomed around, as beautiful as a fairyland.
"Uncle, this is the Dark Night Forest, and it's no safer than down here."
Chu Lingwei had the same idea as entering here, so she wouldn't stay long and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
They hid their tracks all the way out of the Dark Night Forest and arrived at the place where Chu Lingwei had just entered.
The maid who sent her into the Dark Night Forest was waiting there long ago. Seeing Chu Lingwei and the others approaching, she was not surprised at all. She stepped forward and saluted them, "Two, please follow me."
"Your master wants to see us?"
Chu Lingwei quickly thought of a countermeasure. That bird's cultivation was far above her own. Chu Lingwei was not his opponent.
Even with divine artifacts protecting her, she might not be able to defeat him.
"Chu Lingwei?"
Chu Lingwei followed the maid. Before she could enter the magnificent palace, the bird's voice came.
"Greetings, senior." Chu Lingwei turned her head and glanced at her uncle. She saw that his eyes were full of vigilance. It seemed he had long known how powerful this bird was.
"Mm."
"Greetings, senior." Lan Xingyi also saluted him with a respectful expression.
"Are you planning to leave?" The bird spoke first, his voice devoid of any emotion, making it impossible for Chu Lingwei and Lan Xingyi to discern his true thoughts.
"Yes."
Chu Lingwei replied.
"Do you know that there is no precedent for anyone who entered Xiushui City to leave?" The bird chuckled and looked directly at Chu Lingwei.
"Please, senior, enlighten me."
Since she could stand here unharmed and not be killed immediately, it meant that this matter was not absolute.
"Clever."
The bird disliked beating around the bush. He leaned back slightly in his chair and looked up and down at Chu Lingwei, sighing as if in pity, "Unfortunately, your cultivation is too low."
Chu Lingwei, "..." This was not the first time she had been told her cultivation was low.
"Senior, do you want me to help you with something?"
"When your cultivation reaches the Sovereign realm, come to Xiushui. I have something I need you to do." The bird did not make things difficult for Chu Lingwei and said directly.
"What do you want Weiwei to do?" Lan Xingyi was worried about Chu Lingwei's safety. This bird could instantly crush all the cultivators and spirit beasts here. If Weiwei entered the Sovereign realm, they absolutely did not want her to get involved in such a dangerous matter.
"Senior, what do you want me to do? Please tell me directly." Chu Lingwei would not do anything that would harm her Dao heart, such as murder or arson.
"I won't ask you to do anything that will damage your Dao heart. I just want you to help me fulfill a wish." Very rarely, there was a hint of sadness in the bird's voice, "Perhaps, even as a Sovereign realm cultivator, you may not be able to fulfill my wish."
Chu Lingwei was surprised and couldn't help but guess if this bird was keeping these cultivators here to fulfill his wish.
This...
"Chu Lingwei, do you agree?" The bird did not give Chu Lingwei much time to think. In its opinion, its request required no thought at all.
"Okay."
Chu Lingwei had the same thought. If she didn't agree to this condition, she would be a fool.
"Send them out."
The bird was very straightforward and decisive. He waved his hand and told the maid to send Chu Lingwei out.
"Two, please follow me."
The maid led Chu Lingwei and the others down a small path, surrounded by blooming flowers and rich spiritual energy.
"You can enter the teleportation array, and I will send you away." The maid motioned for Chu Lingwei and the others to enter the teleportation array in front of them and said.
"Thank you."
Chu Lingwei did not doubt them. If they had wanted to kill them, it would have been as easy as turning their hands.
Stepping into the teleportation array, runes lit up, and the surrounding light and shadows flickered. After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Chu Lingwei and the others were already on the shores of Xiushui.
"Weiwei, we're really out." Lan Xingyi was very familiar with this place. He had entered Xiushui from this place and encountered that bird.
This place was very familiar to them, the people of the Phoenix clan.
"Second Uncle, do you think my eldest uncle is here?" Chu Lingwei used her divine sense to scan the surroundings. There were no spirit beasts or cultivators, so she asked curiously.
The patriarch of the Phoenix clan had brought her here, so he must have been very concerned.
"Big Brother..." Lan Xingyi looked at Chu Lingwei with amusement. He understood his elder brother's temperament. Weiwei's ability to enter here was his doing, and his elder brother would certainly not tell Weiwei about the Phoenix clan.
Because they were all arranged by their elder brother, just like Weiwei. Kuai Shu Ge.
"Weiwei, your eldest uncle has his own difficulties." All the people of the Phoenix clan had a common goal: to revive the sacred tree and rebuild the Phoenix clan.
As long as they could achieve their goal, they would do anything without hesitation.
But Weiwei was different. She had never known about their Phoenix clan, so she could not understand her elder brother's actions.
"Yes." Chu Lingwei smiled faintly. She had already sensed a familiar aura flash by, "It's just a pity about the cultivators of the Phoenix clan..."
Lan Xingyi's heart skipped a beat. Did all the cultivators in the barrier already...
Weiwei had not mentioned the cultivators inside the barrier to him at all since she came out.
"Weiwei, they won't blame you." Lan Xingyi's voice was filled with deep sorrow. All the cultivators who entered Xiushui City knew what fate awaited them.
"But..." Chu Lingwei's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she unleashed a burst of spiritual power towards the direction directly in front of her.
