Chapter 1409: Chapter 1168: Westward Expedition to True Yang (Part 2)

Beside him, Yu Wenwuji, who had remained silent all this while, flipped his hand to produce a Bronze Ancient Mirror and handed it to Su Yuan: "Royal Envoy Su, take this treasure with you. If there are any demon beasts, you can be alerted in advance."

"The Demon Capturing Mirror?" Su Yuan’s eyes gleamed, "Thank you, Yuwen Imperial Throne."

Yuwen Imperial Throne nodded, seeing Xiang Yuntian and Luo Qingping had already walked far, he softly reminded: "Royal Envoy Su, on this journey to the Southern Continent, prioritize safeguarding yourself. If things cannot be achieved, retreat immediately."

People have varying degrees of closeness.

Even though the Divine Sect is an ally, we’ve already done our utmost to assist in times of crisis, there’s no need to risk our lives for it.

Yet, Yu Wenwuji also knew that Su Yuan had a deep connection with the Divine Sect, which is why he reminded him. This White Tiger Imperial Throne, known for his brutality, is actually cold on the outside but warm inside.

Su Yuan nodded slightly, smiling: "Don’t worry, Yuwen Imperial Throne, I know what I’m doing."

"Good." Yu Wenwuji nodded, then flew away.

Su Yuan’s eyes steeled, silver light flickered on his body, and he instantly teleported towards the west...

The Yanxing Mountain Range was originally a renowned spiritual mountain surrounding the True Yang Sect, graced with abundant spiritual energy and home to two king-level sects and a dozen cities of various sizes.

But now, it was shrouded in gray clouds, dim and murky, spanning thousands of miles under a veil of gloom.

In a hidden cave warded by a Concealing Breath Array within a part of the great mountains, three Daoist robe-wearing cultivators, two men and one woman, were hiding.

One of them, a tall and handsome man, wore the Three-day Linked Ring Robe, and carried the Red Sun Treasure Light Sword on his back, was a cultivator from the True Yang Sect named Liu Jinrong.

The other two were former disciples of the Qingxin Sect within the Yanxing Mountain Range, named Li Xinru and Zhao Gan.

Regardless of Liu Jinrong or Li Xinru, both had weak auras, their faces pale with some injuries, appearing rather bedraggled.

At this moment, Li Xinru, who was meditating, opened her eyes and said solemnly: "It’s been several days. I wonder if those otherworldly demons who attacked Yanxing Mountain have left..."

Beside her, Zhao Gan, recalling the scenes of the otherworldly demons devouring their fellow disciples and destroying the sect, couldn’t help but show fear in his eyes: "Perhaps, maybe we should wait a bit longer? Senior Sister Li, we barely escaped with our lives, now the outside is teeming with demon beasts. If we’re discovered, it’ll be over!"

"Waiting here indefinitely is also not a solution..." Li Xinru shook her head, looking at Liu Jinrong of the True Yang Sect sitting by her side, she asked, "Senior Brother Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Jinrong stood up, the flames flickering around him flowed into the True Yang Magic Sword on his back like a stream.

"If we wait any longer, there’s no telling if other otherworldly demons will pass by here. I’m almost fully recovered, it’s time to head out."

There was a hint of urgency in Liu Jinrong’s somber tone.

The Qingxin Sect and other sects in the Yanxing Mountain Range were merely collateral damage; the endless demon army’s primary target was the True Yang Sect.

With the sect’s Great Formation broken, countless fellow disciples had fallen, Liu Jinrong urgently wanted to know how many of his senior brothers, and the Sect Leader Elder were still alive.

Li Xinru nodded, saying: "I think so too. Let’s set out then!"

Though Zhao Gan was still a bit hesitant, since both Senior Sister Li and Senior Brother Liu from the True Yang Sect said so, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I’ll follow the senior brother and sister!"

Li Xinru said: "In that case, I’ll scout ahead."

Liu Jinrong nodded: "I’ll trouble you, Junior Sister Li."

Li Xinru nodded slightly, taking a few steps toward a nearby tree, raising her hand to form a seal, and pressing her palm down. A hint of green light spread across the tree trunk, and in a few breaths, the tree transformed into a Wood Avatar identical to Li Xinru.

Li Xinru closed her eyes and sent a thread of Divine Thought into it. The Wood Avatar then started moving, cautiously exploring ahead along the ground after leaving the cave...

This Wood Avatar didn’t have much strength but could integrate with the natural environment, greatly concealing its aura.

It scouted out for dozens of miles, finding only the lingering filth and bloodiness in the air post-battle, without seeing any other demon traces.

After a while, Li Xinru’s avatar stopped beside a certain large tree, eyes showing a hint of delight.

"It seems those demon beasts, after slaughtering everything in Yanxing Mountain, have left. This area is temporarily safe..."

Just as Li Xinru’s avatar was contemplating, there was a sudden movement beside her. She turned to look and saw the large tree next to her split open, resembling a giant dark mouth that suddenly snapped at her!

"Hm?!"

Startled, Li Xinru’s avatar immediately leaped up.

The tree missed its bite, but a tough vine-like tongue shot out, immediately wrapping around Li Xinru’s avatar.

Star Power surged through Li Xinru’s avatar, but it was continuously being absorbed by the vine, destabilizing the Star Power and making it hard to function, and with a "swish", she was dragged into the tree’s mouth and swallowed.

The tree shuddered slightly and within a few seconds, became tranquil...

"Ugh!"

In the cave, Li Xinru suddenly let out a muffled grunt, her complexion turning even paler.

"Junior Sister Li?"

"Senior Sister!"

Watching Li Xinru, Liu Jinrong and Zhao Gan, on either side, quickly approached with concern.

"Senior Sister, how are you?" Zhao Gan immediately asked.

With most of the Qingxin Sect, including the ancestors, dead, surviving on his own would become even more challenging if Li Xinru also died.

"I’m fine, but there are plant monsters in Yanxing Mountain!" Li Xinru recalled the earlier scene and said in a grave voice, "Even my Wood Avatar didn’t notice it!"

Zhao Gan’s face tightened upon hearing this: "What should we do? Doesn’t that mean we can’t leave!"
