Chapter 1249 Langhuan Secret Realm 5
Yunxi smiled charmingly and said:
"Are you four waiting for us sisters? Do you want to team up with us? But we're a bit bossy; we want to pick the best things first. I wonder if you can accept that?"
Di Fei, standing to the side, added insult to injury:
"Sister, I don't think they'll accept it. Let's go find Brother Yuwen first!"
The four of them remained expressionless as they watched the two sisters talking to themselves. They were all speechless, but they had to admit that these two were truly capable, able to seal the fragments of the evil artifact. For that reason alone, they were willing to team up with the two sisters.
Hua Wu stepped forward and said:
"Qianjiao and Baimei, it is fate that we were teleported to the same place. Since that is the case, why not follow the will of heaven and team up to explore the secret realm together?"
The treasures of the Langhuan Secret Realm are hard to come by. The more people there are, the better our chances of success. Besides, our group of six comprises immortals from the five realms: Celestial, Demonic, Ghostly, Monster, and Buddhist. We're confident we can find the treasures and escape unscathed.
Yunxi and Difei were trying to dissuade the four people from joining them, but they didn't expect that these people would still want to team up with them.
Di Fei asked with a smile:
"Demon Lord Huawu, can you represent the other three? If they are unwilling, I think it's best not to force them."
Wu Shen: "Amitabha! This old monk is willing."
Cuiying: "Teaming with you guys is better than teaming up with those hypocritical guys."
Yu Xingchi: "The two fairies are truly capable, and their requests are not excessive. As long as we work together, we can naturally achieve our wishes. I am willing to team up with the two of you."
Yun Xi seemed somewhat surprised, while Di Fei chuckled softly beside her:
"Sister, we've been so fussy and they're still willing to do it, they must want something in return. As long as it's not too outrageous, just agree! Anyway, we won't lose anything. If they dare to stab us in the back, I'll make them pay the price."
After saying that, she gave the four of them a chilling smile, a flash of murderous intent in her eyes. They were unwilling to hurt anyone, but if anyone dared to lay a hand on them, she would retaliate a hundredfold.
Hua Wu pretended not to hear Di Fei's threat and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, we're teammates, so we should look after each other. Where do we go next?"
Clearly, the initiative has been handed over to Yunxi and Difei.
Although they were forced into a team as soon as they entered the secret realm, this did not prevent them from carrying out their original plan.
Yunxi cupped her hands in greeting to the four people and said:
"My sister and I promised to team up with Yuwen He before entering the secret realm, so we'd like to meet up with him first before exploring the realm. What do you four think?"
Hua Wu said with a smile:
"Since it's a promise, let's go and meet up with them first. Maybe we'll find something on our way to find Immortal Yuwen."
Hua Wu's words were cleverly worded. What she meant was: finding Yuwen He was no problem, but they wouldn't let go of any opportunities they encountered along the way, since no one wanted to leave the Langhuan Secret Realm empty-handed.
Yunxi nodded to indicate that there was no problem. She released her divine sense to sense the area and found that her divine sense was limited, but she could still explore within a radius of a thousand miles. Then she brought up the map of the Langhuan Secret Realm that Xiaoshu had given her, combined with the clues about the appearance of the artifact, chose a direction, and pulled Difei to walk in front.
Hua Wu said nothing and followed behind the two, followed by Cui Ying, Yu Xing Chi, and Wu Shen at the very back.
Meanwhile, Yuwen He was teleported to a dense forest surrounded by towering ancient trees. The forest was rich in wood-based immortal energy, but none of this attracted Yuwen He's attention.
A voice in his mind kept urging him forward, as if a treasure awaited him ahead, and finding it would make him a powerful being. This temptation was irresistible, and he followed the call onto a path of no return. Meanwhile, the fragment of the evil artifact sealed by Yunxi trembled slightly before returning to stillness, seemingly not wanting to attract Yunxi's attention.
Di Fei, who was walking at the front of the group, was communicating with Yun Xi telepathically.
"Ranxi, was the fragment you sealed just now a fragment of an evil god's artifact?"
"It's hard to say, there's only a small patch, about the size of a fingernail, so you can't see the whole picture."
"If that's the case, it proves that this evil artifact has also been damaged, and perhaps we really have a chance to seal it in the Langhuan Secret Realm."
Yunxi, however, did not think so:
"Even if it's damaged, it's still a divine artifact. It's probably not that easy to destroy. And don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? Why were we teleported into the body of Xuanwu, who had devoured the fragments of the evil artifact?"
After thinking for a moment, Di Fei said:
"You were the one who was teleported to the location of the evil artifact fragments. I went to the island in the middle of the lake because of you. This coincidence must be about you."
As for the other five, they were probably also deliberately teleported to the island in the middle of the lake, just like they were in the Burial God Sea. Having gathered all five powers, they could seal the body of the evil god. Similarly, these five could seal the Xuanwu that had devoured the fragments of the evil artifact, preventing the artifact from leaving the secret realm.
Yunxi paused slightly before continuing forward. She felt that Difei's analysis made a lot of sense, because the appearance of their group had disrupted the balance of the five people and ultimately scared away Dugu Ye, allowing her to remove the fragments of the evil artifact from the Green Snake's body.
Following this line of thought, Yunxi analyzed:
"In that case, the fragments of the evil artifact should be able to help us find the main body of the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade."
Xuanwu likely used its body as a cage to trap this fragment of the evil artifact. Over thousands of years, Lvfu has become a vessel for nurturing the fragment, and the turtle's inner core has also been corrupted, rendering it unable to continue fulfilling its duties.
Therefore, Xuanwu used the opening of the secret realm to lure the five people. The choice was either for the five to seal it, or for it to perish together with the fragments of the evil artifact, severely damaging the fragments to delay the merging and reappearance of the Sacred Remains Star-Slaying Blade.
Di Fei's eyes lit up, feeling that Yun Xi's guess was more reasonable, but she still muttered to herself:
"If it weren't for you and me interfering, Xuanwu's plan would probably have failed, and at least Dugu Ye wouldn't have made a sacrifice to seal Xuanwu."
The two were unaware that their speculation was already very close to the truth.
Xuanwu had indeed made two preparations. After confirming that Yunxi could suppress the fragments of the evil artifact, he decisively used his inner core as an exchange to gain a chance of survival. He was not heartbroken even if he had to give up his cultivation, because they had completed the mission given to them by the Heavenly Dao. It was only a matter of time before his bloodline was reawakened. A path to heaven awaited him in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Di Fei suggested:
"Ranxi, I feel very uneasy. We should find a protective soul artifact first, and then go look for that divine artifact. Otherwise, I don't have the confidence to do so."
Yunxi thought Difei's suggestion made a lot of sense. She then went through the map of the Langhuan Secret Realm in her mind, changed direction, and headed to the location of Tianqiong Waterfall. The protective soul artifact they needed was there, and whether they could snatch it depended on their skills.
The four people behind them didn't comment on the two changing direction; they just followed silently, and no one knew what they were thinking.
The group of six traveled for five days and finally arrived at the location of Tianqiong Waterfall early on the sixth day after passing through a maze-like stone forest.
However, they were not the first to arrive; twelve people had already gathered there, waiting for the moment when the Tianqiong Waterfall would flow backward.
Good night~
