Chapter 141 After the Storm (1)
Chapter 141 After the Storm (1)
As expected, the Wen family took them to the Phoenix Spirit Secret Realm. Fortunately, with Shi Ming and the others protecting them, there wasn't much trouble.
Su Wusi seemed somewhat absent-minded.
Shi Ming noticed her unusual behavior: "Junior sister, are you feeling unwell?"
Su Wusi pursed her lips and shook her head: "Senior brother, I'm fine."
Strange, I've been here before, but why is my impression of this place so vague and unclear?
Ye Xiao walked over and whispered a reminder: "The Wen family is probably looking for something. We need to be careful."
Holding his sword, Jian Muyi sighed, "I wonder how my senior sisters are doing. I miss the big bed on Xianyun Peak so much."
Shi Ming frowned: "We still need to be careful in the secret realm and be on guard."
Jian Muyi felt like he was going to rot away after staying at the Wen family's place for so long, so he lowered his voice and asked, "What do you think the Wen family has been looking for all this time?"
"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing."
"What do you think, junior sister?"
Su Wusi did not answer, but just looked at the campfire at her feet, lost in thought.
"Little junior sister?"
Jian Muyi called her name again, and she finally came to her senses.
"what?"
Jian Muyi asked again, and Su Wusi shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
That's strange, she should know that.
"Alright, get some rest for the night. We'll probably be busy tomorrow."
Ye Xiao and Shi Ming were in charge of keeping watch at night. Su Wusi's mind wasn't on the job, but she didn't refuse. Jian Muyi chose to meditate. In his words, he had to seize the time to cultivate, in case he needed to be used in some way, he couldn't let anyone down.
The scenes in the dream were also blurry and indistinct.
"Junior sister, we will meet again in the future."
"Senior Sister!"
Su Wusi suddenly woke up; it was already dawn, and Ye Xiao was by her side.
Her heart skipped a beat: "Senior Brother Ye, where are my senior brothers?"
She couldn't help but feel a little scared, afraid that her days back at Xianyun Peak were just a dream.
Ye Xiao handed her a water bag and said softly, "They went to scout the surrounding area when no one was looking. They'll be back in a bit."
Su Wusi's icy fingertips gradually warmed up: "I see..."
Thankfully, it wasn't a dream.
Nothing has happened yet, and there's still time.
Shi Ming and Jian Muyi returned shortly afterward.
"How about it?"
Ye Xiao asked in a low voice.
Shi Ming shook his head: "Nothing's wrong, we're still in a passive position."
Su Wusi touched the jade pendant tied to her waist. The more she tried to recall, the more blurred the images in her mind became.
Suddenly, a voice entered her consciousness.
"Junior Sister, we've come to find you."
The sound of Luo Zai Shui is as comforting as ever.
Su Wusi almost cried out in excitement, but she held it back.
"Senior sister, we are currently in the secret realm. The Wen family seems to be looking for something. It would be best if you didn't come yet."
Luo Zai Shui said calmly, "I know, wait for me."
There seemed to be a sound of a barrier shattering coming from over there.
Luo Zai Shui seemed to be laughing: "Ready to overturn this world?"
The sound of the barrier shattering was followed by a phoenix's cry, and Su Wusi felt that the sound was somewhat familiar.
Wen Lian and the others were also alerted.
"Found it! Let's go!"
Shi Ming also realized their purpose.
They exchanged a glance with Ye Xiao and immediately understood their mission.
"We can't let them succeed."
At the cave entrance, Su Wusi felt inexplicably afraid of the unknown thing inside.
The Wen family members, brandishing their swords, shoved their disciples forward, ordering them to scout ahead.
Jian Muyi held Su Wusi tightly, saying, "Junior Sister, don't be afraid. Just stay behind your senior brother and I will protect you."
Su Wusi gritted his teeth, gripped his sword tightly, and followed closely behind Jian Muyi.
Led by Shi Ming and Ye Xiao, the group groped their way into the cave.
A dragon's roar that resounded through the sky caused the heavens and earth to tremble. Su Wusi froze, almost losing his balance.
Jian Muyi grabbed her arm: "Don't be afraid."
Shi Ming whispered, "Keep your voice down, don't disturb it."
"The cave entrance has collapsed!"
The Wen family members behind him didn't hear Shi Ming's instructions at all, and the commotion startled the dragon in the cave.
Get out of the way!
Those who reacted quickly survived by sheer luck, while those who reacted slowly were smashed into mincemeat.
"Junior Sister—"
A feeling called fear bound her feet, and she could not move an inch.
Fortunately, Jian Muyi was closest to her and pulled her away immediately.
The scene was chaotic, with screams and the stench of blood mingling together like a dense net, making it hard to breathe.
"Junior Sister, where are you now? In the cave?"
The sound of Luo Zai Shui gradually brought Su Wusi back to his senses.
Ye Xiao and Shi Ming were trying to restrain the crazed dragon, but the difference in their strength was too great, and they couldn't get close at all.
"Senior Brother, dig out its inner core!"
Shi Ming and Ye Xiao exchanged a glance and immediately changed their attack strategy. Ye Xiao rushed directly in front of the dragon to draw its fire, while Shi Ming took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Su Wusi, Jian Muyi, and others also joined the battle, throwing various spells at the dragon's hard scales.
The dragon was thoroughly enraged, and with a single sweep of its tail, many people breathed their last.
Those who survived by chance were buried by the falling boulders and never saw the light of day again.
Before the dragon, they were nothing but ants, but they had no way out but to face it.
"Watch out!"
Shi Ming landed steadily on the ground, observing the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Jian Muyi was impatient and quick-tempered. After dodging and weaving for a while, he got fed up and charged forward with his sword.
Su Wusi had no choice but to cover for him. Fortunately, Jian Muyi wasn't brainless. He seized the opportunity to strike with his sword, then changed position and struck again.
The dragon couldn't even touch his location.
Ye Xiao and Shi Ming seized the opportunity to strike and managed to cut off a dragon scale.
"Junior Sister, watch your head!"
Luo Zai Shui's voice echoed in his mind.
Su Wusi instinctively cried out, "Watch out—"
With a loud bang, the ground shook violently, and countless boulders fell from above.
The soft sunlight illuminated a patch of land, and a woman in white, sword in hand, plunged in, the tip of her sword pressed against the dragon's forehead, and she directly pinned it to the ground.
"Senior Sister!"
Jian Muyi almost thought he was seeing things. After realizing that the person was indeed his senior sister, he couldn't help but shout out excitedly.
The dragon beneath him was not behaving itself; it twisted its body in an attempt to resist, when a cold sword light pierced directly through its chest.
Its eyes were wide open, and it died with its eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.
How could its inner core be...?
Luo Zai Shui retrieved the Luo Shui Sword. Having already known everything about the past, how could she not know the weakness of this little dragon?
Jian Muyi was stunned. Senior sister, how are you so amazing?
Luo Zai Shui smiled and helped Shi Ming up, who had been accidentally injured by a rock.
"Senior brother, would you like to join us on an escape journey?"
Shi Ming replied with a smile, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
