After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 446 Demon-Sealing Lock

But as soon as she bent down, the stone bowl shattered into countless pieces. Startled, she took a step back, a sudden, sharp pain shooting through her knee. She lost her balance and fell straight into the Spring of Immortality behind her.

With a "splash", water splashed everywhere.

The stone walking to the side pretended to be blind and couldn't see Xu Youan's little tricks.

The Longevity Spring cannot be served in a stone bowl, yet not a single drop can be drunk from it.

However, he wouldn't judge whether he could go in to take a bath and then get beaten up by the guardian beast.

It's just bad luck that someone ran into such a stingy and overprotective person!

But the two had only been out of the cave for a short while when the sky changed, and there was a faint hint that a storm was brewing.

Is it going to rain?

Jiang Liqian and Su Yanqing wandered around this strange place for a long time but couldn't find a way down the mountain. However, the spiritual energy in this place was extremely dense, so dense that it turned into colorful clouds that could be seen with the naked eye.

Although Jiang Liqian tried to suppress it, the Qiankun Heart Method still frantically absorbed the spiritual energy from the outside world, constantly enriching her dantian. Because there was too much spiritual energy, it not only caused her meridians to swell and ache, but also constantly impacted the barrier belonging to the nascent soul.

Logically speaking, the richer the spiritual energy, the more carefree the cultivators will feel, their bodies will be light and their spirits will be high. But for Jiang Liqian, this place was like a cruel torture of being cut with a dull knife.

After taking just a few quick steps, she felt her meridians in her hands and feet throb with pain and tremble.

Su Yanqing also noticed her situation. Countless spiritual energies kept squeezing into her body as if they were free, as if they were going to crush her.

He suggested that she sit down and meditate to regulate her spiritual energy and prevent too much spiritual energy from flooding into her body in a short period of time, while he continued to look for a way down the mountain.

Jiang Liqian didn't insist on staying together; large beads of sweat were already streaming down her forehead.

She sat down, closed her eyes, and meditated, using her lightning spiritual power to form a barrier around her that isolated most of the spiritual power. At the same time, she regulated the spiritual power within her body, peeling away its layers and suppressing it as much as possible.

This unfamiliar place is not a good place to undergo tribulation.

What Jiang Liqian didn't expect was that Su Yanqing had gone around in circles and brought someone back from outside, and Jiang Liqian even knew this person.

The young man was handsome and extraordinary, wearing a sky-blue belted robe that accentuated his noble and jade-like qualities.

His eyes and brows were cold and indifferent. With each step he took, the tinkling of his jade pendants and the rustling of the wind made it seem as if all things yielded to him, as if he were a peerless genius descended upon the world. Yet his eyes and brows were so young, so young that they were in the prime of spring, when flowers were in full bloom, but he was so proud and aloof that the beauty of the whole garden was not even in his sight.

Even such a young man would fix his gaze on Jiang Liqian, and linger there for a long time.

"Her condition is not good. As we are both from three major sects, Fellow Daoist Gu, do you know if you have any way to help her?" Su Yanqing said worriedly.

He could see Jiang Liqian's suffering clearly; it was as if every breath she took was like being slowly sliced ​​to death.

Although meeting Gu Chengxue here was unexpected, it also surprised Su Yanqing, who was at a loss for what to do. If the other party hadn't looked so unapproachable, he would have wanted to drag and pull her to Jiang Liqian's front.

The boy ignored Su Yanqing's anxious expression and looked calmly at the girl in front of him who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed and looking pained. He then called out her name: "Jiang Liqian".

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Jiang Liqian immediately opened her eyes.

Upon seeing the other person's face, her pupils contracted, her spiritual energy surged, and she gasped sharply, a metallic taste of blood rising in her throat.

"You don't have to get so excited when you see someone you know!" Su Yanqing was startled when he saw Jiang Liqian's face turn pale in an instant. He quickly ran to her side, wanting to do something but not knowing what to do.

Jiang Liqian forced down the taste of blood, her brows furrowing slightly: "Gu Chengxue, what are you doing here?"

“A mirage-like secret realm has appeared in Sanhai City, its power far surpassing anything seen in the last hundred years. I have come to investigate on my master’s orders,” Gu Chengxue replied, word by word.

Jiang Li pursed her lips and asked, "Then how did you get into the secret realm?"

They were able to get in here because of the bead Lanlan gave them.

Gu Chengxue calmly replied, "When I entered the island, a giant wave swept up a pearl. I went to check it out and was then swept into this place by the giant wave."

"..."

She and Qin Beiyao went through countless life-threatening situations to obtain the precious pearl, and he just got it so casually?

Jiang Liqian almost choked again.

Su Yanqing, who was squatting down to pat her back, also felt inexplicably annoyed.

Jiang Liqian decided not to humiliate herself any further and said to Su Yanqing, "Please get this person away from me. I want to live a few more days."

"Huh? This..." Su Yanqing was a little taken aback by her words.

This is the chief disciple of the Sacrificial God Sect! It's already quite an achievement that he was able to invite him here. Ask him to leave? He'll probably be the one who "leaves" first.

Gu Chengxue didn't seem angry at all when she heard Jiang Liqian's words. Instead, she took a few steps closer to Jiang Liqian and squatted down in front of her.

He reached out his hand, and Jiang Liqian immediately leaned back warily, staring at him suspiciously.

"What are you doing?" Her voice was a little cold.

Gu Chengxue paused, her eyes filled with confusion: "Why are you so hostile towards me?"

Jiang Liqian looked away and didn't say anything.

"You wanted to kill me the first time we met, why?"

Su Yanqing, who was listening nearby, was shocked.

What did he just hear?

A disciple of the Tianqian Sect's Zhenfeng lineage wants to kill the chief disciple of the Jishen Sect, one of the three major sects.

Did he bring Jiang Liqian's nemesis with him?

Help! How could anyone create such an embarrassing and absurd farce?

Jiang Liqian sneered: "What, so you've come to report..."

He touched her brow with two fingers.

Jiang Liqian's pupils suddenly contracted, and she immediately tried to back away, but Gu Chengxue grabbed her shoulder tightly.

Everything happened too fast. Just as Jiang Liqian was about to take action in anger, Gu Chengxue had already stopped.

He stared at Jiang Liqian with surprise and doubt, and hesitated for a long time before asking, "Why is there a Demon-Sealing Lock in your dantian?"

As he asked this question, he had already set up a barrier, keeping Su Yanqing out.

Demon-Sealing Lock?

What is this?

Seeing that Jiang Liqian was unaware of the situation, Gu Chengxue wanted to investigate again, but this time Jiang Liqian was clearly not going to give him another chance.

Gu Chengxue had no choice but to give up.

He then asked, "Can't you really feel anything? Something unusual in your dantian?"

abnormal?

There was indeed something unusual about her dantian. Although the blood mist hovering above it was gradually decreasing, a normal cultivator shouldn't have that. And...

Wait, could Gu Chengxue be referring to the white-gray chains wrapped around the blood mist?
