"The place we just came out of has collapsed."
Chu Lingwei, with the Phantom Cat, stayed on the flying artifact, looking at the collapsing mountain in the distance, which no longer resembled its former self.
"It seems he doesn't want us to go back."
"We can still go back through the mountain range." This place collapsed, but it didn't mean they couldn't enter where they initially entered. As long as the Phantom Cat had been to a place once, it would remember it forever.
"He doesn't want me to go back. It will be very difficult for us to find that place again."
That old man was a peak-level cultivator. It was too easy for him to conceal a place.
"Fortunately, we got out." The Phantom Cat patted its small chest, thinking of the people still imprisoned in the dungeon, and felt pity. "These people might never leave that place in their lives. It's truly pitiful."
"When their cultivation reaches a certain level, they should be able to come out." Chu Lingwei had no time to care about others now. Moreover, it wasn't a big deal if those people could cultivate better.
"Not everyone can directly cultivate to the Supreme realm. Their fate is likely to be to grow old and die there."
The Phantom Cat shook its head, thinking of Murong Zhen. At least he wasn't someone with cultivation talent. If he had to wait until he cultivated to a certain level, no one knew when that would be.
"Everyone has their own destiny. This is not something we can manage." Chu Lingwei had promised the old man not to reveal the situation there, and she would definitely not speak of it.
"Weiwei, where are we going now?" The Phantom Cat looked at the vast sea, sensing several high-level water spirit beasts nearby. This was not a safe place.
"Since Father has been here, let's go and see what's on the other side of the South Sea." Chu Lingwei drove the flying artifact towards the other side of the South Sea.
"Weiwei, our flying artifact can't cross this sea at all!" the Phantom Cat shouted. Not only were there spirit beasts in the sea, but there were also hurricanes and waves. If they didn't have a powerful barrier to resist them, they would be directly thrown into the sea.
Chu Lingwei looked at the Phantom Cat's shocked expression and couldn't help but smile. Did she look like someone who wouldn't prepare anything?
"Don't worry, you won't encounter any danger."
"Then where are we going now?" The Phantom Cat felt a little embarrassed and stuck out its tongue.
"We are not far from the shore. Let's see if we can get on a boat and first understand the specific situation here." Chu Lingwei slowly drifted on the sea with the Phantom Cat.
They drifted for three days and three nights. Every day they encountered several water spirit beasts. There were more types of water spirit beasts than those they had seen on land. During these days, besides drifting, the most they did was being forced to fight these spirit beasts.
"Actually, water spirit beasts are not that scary." The Phantom Cat lay on the flying artifact comfortably. In the past few days, it had killed several water spirit beasts. The flesh and hides of these spirit beasts could be exchanged for money in the sea town. Just thinking about it gave it a sense of accomplishment.
Life without Feng Ming was truly leisurely.
Thinking of Feng Ming, the smile on the Phantom Cat's face disappeared. It sat up and said, "Weiwei, Feng Ming must know it was wrong."
"It's not about making a mistake. Just knowing it was wrong is enough." Chu Lingwei was not angry with Feng Ming. It was just that she had brought someone into the space without her permission. Chu Lingwei had to make her realize her mistake. Otherwise, if she did the same thing again and was discovered, she wouldn't even have a chance to regret it.
"Do we really have to confine her for so long?" the Phantom Cat asked cautiously. It already knew when Feng Ming brought Uncle Li Chen into the space.
Feng Ming doing this also made it very angry.
"Yes, not a day less." Chu Lingwei's voice turned cold. She stood up and looked into the distance. "Barrier."
The Phantom Cat immediately jumped up and looked ahead. A barrier stood before them.
"Weiwei, this spirit beast is at least sixth rank." Sixth-rank spirit beasts in the water were much more powerful than those they had seen before. These spirit beasts could not only control water, but their spiritual power usage in water was several times that on land.
Cultivators were originally unable to enter water, which made cultivators fighting them very passive. If they were accidentally dragged into the water, it was almost certain death.
"Is there a boat behind it?" Chu Lingwei couldn't sense it from such a distance.
"Yes, this boat seems to be following this spirit beast." The Phantom Cat could sense that the spirit beast approaching them soon had restrictions and traces of spiritual power. It seemed to have already fought a fierce battle.
"Weiwei, should we stop it now?"
Just as they were talking, the spirit beast had already come very close. They could see its appearance clearly without using their divine sense.
"Why does this spirit beast look like this?" The Phantom Cat's eyes were filled with disgust. This was the dirtiest and ugliest water spirit beast it had ever seen.
"Be careful, the water on its body should have corrosive effects." Chu Lingwei sent a strand of spiritual power towards the spirit beast, letting it know that someone was in front of it and to stop its speed.
"Squeak..."
The spirit beast was struck and its entire body suddenly shot up into the air, emitting a shrill squeaking sound that made the Phantom Cat cover its ears. Its voice was too unpleasant.
"Meow meow, barrier, let's stop it." Just this one cry killed and wounded more than half of the small fish and shrimp within a hundred-mile radius.
This spirit beast was extremely destructive. Everywhere it went, it caused disaster.
"We are no match for it." Numerous barriers flew out of the Phantom Cat's mouth, trapping the spirit beast in front of them.
"Roar."
The continuous roaring sounded like a warning to Chu Lingwei, constantly exerting pressure that rushed towards Chu Lingwei.
Trying to scare me.
Chu Lingwei smiled. The purple bell in her hand flew into the air, and the Profound Heaven Burning Fire transformed into thousands of water dragons, striking towards the spirit beast.
"Someone has blocked it." Meng Qinghe, who was closely following behind, said with joy. "Speed up. We must not let it escape today."
"Yes." The spirit ship moved like a shooting star, rapidly heading in Chu Lingwei's direction.
"How long until those people arrive?" Chu Lingwei frowned, looking at the spirit beast thrashing in the water. This area of water was now filled with corrosive substances.
She could kill the spirit beast in front of her, but she couldn't dissolve these corrosive substances.
If these corrosive substances were released, they would harm countless living beings.
"They will arrive soon." The Phantom Cat also frowned. The sea beneath them had turned black. "Weiwei, can we really kill this spirit beast?"
The situation was clear now. If they killed this spirit beast, it might self-destruct.
