is like a ghost.

"You mentioned it to us, and I even said you were being delusional?"

Yue Yinping looked bewildered. Did I say that?

Although she said she hadn't said it, Xu Yunxin just wanted to play a joke on Yue Yinping. After all, she had said there were golden eagles here and told him to be careful not to get captured.

Uncle Fu frowned and thought for a moment: "Young Master has been staying on Seven Peaks Mountain these past few days, could it be?"

Seeing the three of them looking confused, Xu Yunxin smiled and continued, "Just to remind you, we even went to see it together."

Did you even go see it together?

A sudden thought struck Yue Shaohua, and she exclaimed, "Could it be it?"

"Young Master Xu, could it be the blue 'Crimson-Tailed Roaring Serpent' you mentioned before?"

Seeing Xu Yunxin nod slightly, Yue Shaohua asked in surprise, "Really? There really is a blue 'Crimson-Tailed Roaring Serpent'?"

Yue Yinping didn't believe it either. She had grown up here since she was a child, and had seen everything from wind and rain. How could there possibly be a blue "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent"?!

Uncle Fu wanted to believe it, but he hadn't seen it, so he could only be a wooden man who believed in his young master.

Xu Yunxin had been looking for an opportunity to introduce Xiaoqing to the group, and he took advantage of this chance to reveal his strength to say so.

He didn't continue explaining, but pressed on, "Sister Ping, with a major battle at hand, we can't afford to be careless. That's all for my situation with Uncle Fu. Tell me about your situation with Shaohua too."

Yue Yinping snapped out of her daze at the shocking information Xu Yunxin had given about the second-tier cyan "Crimson-Tailed Roaring Serpent" and subconsciously said, "I am at the seventh...eighth level of Qi Refining, while Shaohua is at the sixth level. My combat strength should be a bit higher than Uncle Fu's. Shaohua doesn't have much experience in combat, so his strength is a bit weaker."

Seeing Yue Yinping stop, Xu Yunxin asked again, "Where are the magic implements and talismans?"

Yue Yinping paused and said, "I'm using a second-grade high-quality magic weapon, and Shaohua's is also a second-grade high-quality magic weapon. We don't have any magic talismans."

No wonder it could pierce the head of the first-tier mid-grade "Yellow Sand Lizard" queen with a single spear thrust; it turned out to be a second-tier high-grade magic weapon!

With a second-grade high-quality magic weapon in hand, Yue Yinping's strength was actually much greater than Uncle Fu's. No wonder she was able to defeat the Tribulation Cultivator back then.

Although the two women wore veils, their words, actions, and unintentional gestures revealed that they were both quite young. Xu Yunxin estimated that they were both under twenty years old, a time when they were curious and lively.

In a place like the "Thousand Lakes Wasteland" where spiritual energy is scarce, being able to cultivate to the sixth and eighth levels of Qi Refining at this age means that they have very strong cultivation aptitude.

This is a gift from heaven, so we must nurture him well. In the future, he will surely become one of my top generals!

"Is there a magic circle?"

Xu Yunxin thought that the two women were using second-tier high-grade magic artifacts, so he asked again with a try-it-out mentality.

"Yes, we have a first-grade superior 'Zhengde Golden Light Array,' but it's unusable because we don't have second-grade spirit stones as the array source," Yue Shaohua replied.

Xu Yunxin was just asking, but he didn't expect that it actually existed!

"Excellent! With this top-grade first-tier magic array, our defense against the Southern Barbarians is truly secure!"

Xu Yunxin clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Don't worry about the second-tier spirit stones, I have some here!"

As they were talking, Xu Yunxin gestured for Uncle Fu to take out a second-tier spirit stone and show it to the two women of the Yue family.

Unlike ordinary spirit stones, which are milky white in color, second-tier spirit stones are white with traces of red veins, and contain a hundred times more spiritual energy than ordinary ones.

Yue Shaohua also took out a golden array plate and eight small array flags, and handed them to Uncle Fu, saying, "This is the array plate and flags of the 'Zhengde Golden Light Array.' It can activate a defensive light shield of thirty feet, whose power can withstand a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Uncle Fu reached out and took the array flag of the "Zhengde Golden Light Array". Under Xu Yunxin's instruction, he operated the array on the spot, filling the gap in the center of the array plate with the second-tier spirit stone.

After the spirit stones were placed into the plate, the golden array plate hummed softly. The eight array flags were connected by the array plate and floated gently around Uncle Fu. As Uncle Fu operated the array plate, the eight array flags landed in the eight corners of the quiet room, and then a golden bowl-shaped light shield enveloped the array plate.

The four pushed open the door to the quiet room and came out, only to see that a golden light shield had been placed over the town lord's mansion. The golden light shield looked exactly the same as the one on the array plate.

Yue Yinping looked up at the "Zhengde Golden Light Array" above her head and explained softly, "The array plate is connected to the array's light screen. Any attack on a particular area can be seen on the array plate."

Uncle Fu tried it out, then manipulated the array plate to conceal the materialized "Zhengde Golden Light Array." After carefully sensing the energy consumption of activating and deactivating it, he immediately shut down the array, took out the array source spirit stone, and said to Xu Yunxin, "Young Master, this array consumes a lot of energy. Concealing the array will last for ten days. If it is fully activated, this second-tier spirit stone will only last for one day at most!"

Xu Yunxin took the array plate from Uncle Fu, played with it for a while, and then returned it to Yue Shaohua, saying, "Shaohua, keep the array plate for now. Let's go and see the blue 'Crimson-Tailed Roaring Serpent' that I mentioned."

The group of four left Qingxi Town and hurried towards the third peak of Qifeng Mountain.

As soon as they arrived at the foot of Qifeng Mountain, Xu Yunxin used telepathy to tell Xiaoqing to leave the mountainside and wait at the summit.

This kind of long-distance telepathy is also unique to him.

The Xu family also follows the path of spirit contracts. As far as Xu Yunxin knows, the distance between Xu family members who want to send commands to their contracted spirit beasts cannot exceed one hundred feet.

Xu Yunxin can transmit specific commands to Xiaoqing through telepathy from a distance of a thousand feet.

If they go beyond a thousand feet, they can only transmit very simple, vague information and perceive each other's location.

Fifteen minutes later, the group of four climbed to the summit of the third peak of Qifeng Mountain. They found a large rock in the center of the summit, surrounded by flat ground with nothing unusual or special about it. They also did not see the blue "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent" that Xu Yunxin had mentioned.

For some reason, the two Yue family women breathed a sigh of relief when they didn't see the blue "Red-tailed Roaring Serpent".

Just as Yue Yinping was about to speak about Xu Yunxin, her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Yue Shaohua's side, exclaiming in alarm, "Shaohua, watch out!"

Yue Shaohua subconsciously turned around and saw a giant snake head floating in the air, flicking its tongue at her head.

"Ah!~ Ah~"

Yue Shaohua was so frightened that she jumped up and down behind Xu Yunxin, trembling like a leaf, and asked in a tearful voice.

"Young Master Xu... why is there only one head?!"

At this very moment, under the clear blue sky, where the four were watching, a huge snake head with green scales and red eyes was floating in the air.

The snake's head turned back and forth, flicking its tongue as it looked at this and that.

He looks like a ghost!
