Chapter Ten Little Gray

  He slowly opened his eyes in the darkness.

  Surroundings were pitch black, then in the distance ahead, a faint light slowly lit up, like a weak candle flame burning quietly in the darkness of night.

  He gazed silently at the light, which was a faint purple color, then turned to cyan, and slowly turned to deep green, changing constantly, flashing with various colors, very beautiful.

  "Squeak, squeak......"

  Suddenly, beside him, the low voice of Little Gray the monkey sounded out, as if even its voice dared not to be too loud in this darkness.

  The ghost turned its head and indeed saw that it was against the faint light, seeing the monkey Xiao Hui crouching beside him.

  He smiled wryly, subconsciously gritted his teeth, wanting to endure the pain and sit up first, then observe the surroundings before speaking. Unexpectedly, as he flipped over and sat up, it was incredibly smooth, and there wasn't a hint of pain anywhere on his body; he sat up with ease, which instead shocked him.

  In the darkness, that beam of light which kept changing colors shone gently on his body. Gui Li looked around and found that the injuries he had sustained from being heavily struck by Hei Shui Xuan Snake earlier had somehow inexplicably all recovered.

  He slightly furrowed his brow, feeling a sense of surprise in his heart, but for the time being, he couldn't think of any reason, so he thought to stand up first and take a good look around before doing anything else.

  As he thought of this, his body suddenly moved, and then stopped again, as if it had suddenly stiffened.

  He didn't know when it started, but in his hand was another palm, white, slender and gentle.

  Their hands clasped together so tightly and naturally that it made people forget they were still holding hands.

  The ghost's gaze froze, then slowly shifted to the side. The faint light in the darkness floated gently, illuminating a pale and beautiful face. Lu Xueqi's eyes were still closed, her complexion somewhat pale, with a hint of blood at the corner of her mouth, like a strange red flower petal falling on her snowy white skin.

  Her lips were slightly pursed, as if still carrying a faint smile.

  A moment of silence!

  Whose gaze is quietly gazing in the darkness, time flows like water, ten years of light and shadow, deeply engraved on life, yet it seems as if nothing had happened at all, just yesterday.

  ※※※

  "Rumble!"

  Suddenly, a loud noise burst out in this dark space, causing the ground to shake violently. In the distance, there seemed to be the sound of phoenixes chirping and wolves howling, and the entire dark space was shaking intensely. Xiao Hui Guai let out a cry, transformed into a rolling gourd, and tumbled sideways, crashing to the ground with a thud. Gui Li also lost his balance for a moment, leaning to one side.

  The force of the shock also shook Lu Xueqi's body, she seemed to have suddenly woken up, her mouth let out a soft cry, as her body tilted, she opened her eyes.

  What entered his eyes was first a patch of darkness, then that familiar face sitting beside him.

  Just like ten years ago, under the Dead Spirit Abyss, by the ruthless sea!

  The vibration slowly subsided, and the surroundings gradually returned to calmness. I don't know what caused this intense vibration anyway?

  Lu Xueqi slowly sat up, her eyes looking at Gui Lie, and Gui Lie didn't dodge either, just staring back at her. After a moment, their gazes both fell, and the two hands were still tightly and naturally clasped together.

  Lu Xueqi remained silent and still, her body unmoving. Gui Li's lips moved slightly, then slowly relaxed, withdrawing his hand.

  Lu Xueqi gazed faintly at the hand that had withdrawn back into the darkness, a hand that just a moment ago had still conveyed a faint warmth. In her eyes, there was suddenly a hint of hidden sorrow, and then it vanished, restoring calmness.

  She stood up, and at the same time, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, seemingly also feeling unexpected that the injuries on her body had suddenly and unexpectedly recovered. She then looked around and quietly asked: "What is this place?"

  The demon slowly stood up and said: "I'm not clear either, but I remember we flew into the Tian Emperor's treasure vault."

  Lu Xueqi fell silent for a moment before saying, "Was it you who saved me?"

  The demon king glanced at her and said faintly, "No, it's just that you're lucky to have flown in before the stone gate closed."

  Lu Xueqi turned her head, expressionless, staring at him with a pair of eyes that shone brightly even in the dark, as if sparkling with light.

  Gui Li didn't look into her eyes, turned his head away and started walking towards the faint light, saying: "You don't owe me anything, if you want to kill me, just go ahead."

  Lu Xueqi stood quietly in the darkness behind him, standing still for a while, then gently patted the dust off her body and tidied up her appearance.

  "Squeak, squeak!"

  The little grey that had just been shaken and was dizzy, only recovered at this time, jumped and ran over, climbed up to Gui Li's shoulder again in a few jumps, lay on his shoulder, looking into the light that flickered with mysterious colors.

  As I walked closer, the things that entered my line of sight became clearer.

  This is a wooden stage erected in the dark, about half a person high, with a round wooden pillar as thick as an infant's arm inserted into the ground, supporting a small platform about one foot in size at the top.

  In the middle of the platform, there was a clumsily shaped cup that looked like it was made of wood. Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the entire wooden platform and the cup were actually connected together as one piece with the tree trunk beneath the ground.

  But the most attractive thing is what's inside this small wooden cup. The wooden cup is about three inches high and two inches wide, with a transparent liquid in it, and on top of the liquid, there is a small transparent stone, with five flat surfaces, crystal clear. It is from this stone that soft light is emitted, forming a semi-circular light screen on the small wooden stage, refracting various colors of light and radiating them in all directions.

  At this moment, Lu Xueqi had also walked over and stood beside Gui Li, looking towards the wooden cup.

  In the air, a faintly floating strange fragrance is everywhere, and when smelled, it makes people's spirits shake.

  Gui Li and Lu Xueqi were not ordinary people, but at this moment they couldn't figure out what this thing was. In fact, the wooden platform in the Tian Di treasure house, and the cup on it, contained the legendary divine medicine secretly stored by the Heavenly Emperor. The wooden platform and the wooden cup were all connected to the strange tree under their feet, using the tree's own spiritual energy to preserve the divine medicine.

  And outside the Tian Emperor's treasure house, what made the ancient demon beast Hei Shui Xuan Snake drool with desire and even dare to confront the guardian of the spiritual medicine, the arch-nemesis Huang Niao, was precisely this unassuming cup of spiritual medicine.

  While Gui Li and Lu Xueqi's injuries mysteriously recovered, it was also related to this spiritual medicine and the treasure trove.

  However, such legendary secrets have long been unknown to many people today. Gui Li and Lu Xueqi are also unaware of them, and when faced with such a talented treasure, they only frown in wonder.

  Just as he was thinking, suddenly, there was another loud noise, and the entire Heavenly Emperor's Treasury shook violently. At the same time, the terrifying hiss of the Black Water Mystic Snake came again, it seemed that this ancient giant beast was extremely angry and still refused to give up the spiritual medicine.

  The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury is indeed an extraordinary place, but at this moment, considering the long passage of time and the unknown number of times it has been struck by the Black Water Mystic Snake, how can its power be compared to ordinary things? If it weren't for the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, even a small mountain would have been flattened by the Black Water Mystic Snake.

  At this moment, only the sound of explosions could be heard around, and the twisted sounds that made people's hearts jump with fright were echoing everywhere. The treasure house was violently shaking, Xiao Hui let out a sharp cry, almost falling off Gui Li's shoulder again. Meanwhile, Gui Li and Lu Xueqi both felt like the ground was shaking beneath their feet, barely able to stand steady.

  Logically speaking, under such a violent impact, even if the entire wooden stage and cup were connected together, the spiritual medicine in the cup would have been spilled out. However, at this moment of intense shaking, the stone floating on the surface of the water in the wooden cup suddenly emitted a fine golden light that shot straight up and shone onto the light screen, instantly dyeing the entire screen gold, and then the light burst forth intensely.

  Under the illumination of this light screen, the wooden platform, which seemed to be moving vigorously at first, suddenly stopped amidst the intense turbulence around it. Only when the surrounding tremors gradually subsided did the golden glow slowly weaken and return to its original state.

  Gui Li and Lu Xueqi exchanged a glance, both with a look of surprise and admiration in their eyes. This kind of ghostly craftsmanship was truly unbelievable.

  Guilian looked around again, borrowing the light of the strange stone to see that there seemed to be nothing else in this treasure trove except for this wooden platform. However, looking at this stone, it was crystal clear and surrounded by an aura of immortality, definitely not a mundane object. It seems that the rare treasure he had been searching for many days was actually this thing.

  As soon as he thought of this, his heart warmed up and he stretched out his hand to touch the light screen on the wooden platform.

  "Don't touch it!" Suddenly, Lu Xueqi's voice turned icy and sounded beside him.

  Gui Li's hand stopped in mid-air, then slowly withdrew and turned around to face Lu Xueqi.

  The two stood face to face, less than three feet apart, but the warmth that had been vaguely present between them just a moment before suddenly turned cold, replaced by an icy chill behind their silence.

  The ghost stared at Lu Xueqi and slowly said: "I want this thing."

  Lu Xueqi looked into the man's eyes and said quietly: "I won't let you get it, unless you kill me first."

  The ghost stopped talking.

  That faint light in the darkness, gently flowing and changing into seven colors, as if it were also telling something.

  "Rumble!"

  Another deafening crash shook the sky, with the same earth-shaking tremors as before, but this time on an even greater scale. Although the strange stone rose up with a golden light to protect the wooden platform, the walls of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure vault around it seemed to be unable to withstand it any longer.

  With a loud cracking sound, a huge wooden beam suddenly fell from above. Gui Li and Lu Xueqi jumped back at the same time, followed by continuous loud noises, as if the Black Water Divine Snake outside had gone mad, constantly colliding with the Tian Di Treasure Vault, while in that roaring sound, Feng Ming's clear cry became even more furious and urgent!

  Outside, it seems like an earth-shattering battle is also unfolding!

  The entire Heavenly Emperor's Treasury began to slowly deform under the pressure of a massive external force, with each wall gradually caving inwards and shattered wooden blocks falling down like rain.

  Under such circumstances, Gui Li and Lu Xueqi temporarily only dodged the falling giant wooden blocks, and for the time being, they couldn't care about the wooden platform.

  Just as the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury was about to collapse, at this moment, as if it were the divine power of the ancient gods, a golden light suddenly burst forth from the surface of the strange stone, far larger and more dazzling than before. It instantly formed a pillar that shot straight up into the sky. This time, it broke through the layer of light that enveloped the wooden platform, shining directly onto the vault of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

  In the treasury, a mysterious and distant voice suddenly echoed, like the mystical Sanskrit chanting in the Spirit Mountain's victorious realm, or the soft whisper of the nine secluded souls. As the golden light pillar reached the dome, the entire Heavenly Emperor's Treasury seemed to be supported by some powerful force, stopping its continued collapse, and the falling wooden blocks also gradually came to a halt.

  Then, in the sight of Lu Xueqi and Gui Li, on the vault of the entire Tian Di Treasure Pavilion, amidst that dazzling golden light, suddenly, that mysterious voice sounded again, like a chant, texts as large as Dou, in gold color, appeared one after another under the illumination of the golden light:

  Heaven and earth are not benevolent, regarding all things as straw dogs!

  The ghost's body shook violently.

  After a moment, the nine words slowly disappeared, but the mysterious chanting voice became louder and more intense. Suddenly, the dazzling golden light column burst forth like an explosion, shooting towards the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault with unparalleled heat. On the surrounding walls, under the illumination of the golden light, one by one, golden characters appeared in mid-air, with bold strokes, as if they were flying.

  Surrounding Gui Li and Lu Xueqi, flying around in a roaring sound!

  Gui Li and Lu Xueqi were stunned by this breathtakingly strange scene, but soon they were attracted by the mysterious words around them, they looked at it with great eagerness, forgetting everything around them.

  But Gui Li's heartbeat was getting more and more intense, at this moment, it seemed like there was a voice in his heart shouting loudly:

  "Heavenly Book! Heavenly Book! This is the third volume of the Heavenly Book!"

  ※※※

  Outside the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, Fahai and others retreated far away in mid-air, watching the battle between the two ancient beasts on top of that strange tree, their faces involuntarily turning pale.

  Originally full of life, with lush branches and leaves, and surrounded by countless vines and flowers, the huge tree trunk now seems to have suffered a catastrophic disaster that occurs only once in tens of millions of years, with shattered branches and wilted flowers everywhere, a miserable sight.

  In front of the tree trunk, outside the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, the Black Water Mystic Snake was tightly coiled around the stone gate of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury. The massive snake head roared towards the sky, and the divine beast, the Yellow Bird, flapped its wings to fly. Every time it flapped its wings, a fierce gust of wind would blow, and even the Dharma images watching from afar could feel the powerful force of the wind.

  The yellow bird has a whole body of orange-yellow feathers, with wings spread out closer to one hundred yards. Its sharp beak and piercing eyes are matched by its razor-sharp claws. At this moment, it is diving down non-stop, using its sharp beak and giant claws to attack the Black Water Mystic Snake. The Black Water Mystic Snake continuously spews out toxic gas from its mouth, shaking its head with its sharp fangs, counterattacking with all its might, and occasionally colliding with the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury below.

  The divine bird and the giant snake fought each other, fighting until the sky was dark and the earth was dim, with changing winds and clouds. Fortunately, it was in this desolate and uninhabited land, otherwise, even a prosperous place would be destroyed by these two ancient beasts.

  In the present, the invincible Black Water Mystic Snake is now covered in scars. The massive body that was once as formidable as a demon god now has huge wounds all over it, with dark red blood flowing out continuously, dyeing the tree trunk below a dark red color. For an ancient magical beast like this, its entire body was originally as hard as stone, and only something like the Yellow Bird's sharp claws and beak could have injured it.

  Although the Black Water Python was badly injured, Huang Niao himself was not doing well either. His original plumage, which was as beautiful as a phoenix, had been bitten by the Black Water Python several times during their struggle, causing countless feathers to fall off, and there were also several wounds on his body, deep enough to see the bone, with fresh blood gushing out, staining the area around his chest a bright red.

  At this moment, both giant beasts temporarily stopped their attacks. The Black Water Mystic Snake coiled itself on top of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, while the Yellow Bird landed on a nearby tree trunk. Both sides faced each other, the black snake roaring and the yellow bird chirping, as if showing off to each other, neither having any intention of retreating in the slightest.

  But from the appearance, the Black Water Python seems to be at a disadvantage. After all, the terrain is not good here, and it can only tightly coil around the tree trunk, while the Yellow Bird can fly with its wings and attack continuously from various directions, gaining the upper hand. Moreover, the Yellow Bird is naturally the arch-nemesis of the Black Water Python and other demons, and has a natural resistance to the python's toxic gas and venom. Although it still has some fear, after being bitten, it cannot be fatally injured.

  The Black Water Mystic Snake's most powerful skill was almost ineffective in front of the Yellow Bird, and with the unfavorable terrain, it seemed to be aware that things were not going well. Its eyes widened in anger, and suddenly its snake head turned around, taking advantage of the Yellow Bird still being far away, it fiercely crashed into the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

  The yellow bird was enraged and with a clear whistle, it flapped its wings again.

  But this blow was the culmination of Hei Shui Xuan Snake's entire body strength, and it came crashing down. Without mentioning anything else, the massive tree trunk beneath him was trembling violently, and the Tian Di Treasure Pavilion above had cracks spreading across its surface in an instant. Even the giant stone gate had several cracks smashed into it by this blow.

  It was as if, after withstanding countless impacts of the terrifying power of the Black Water Mystic Snake, at this moment, the mysterious power in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury finally began to collapse.

  In the distance, the faces of the people in the crowd were pale and aghast, and they all took a deep breath.

  The yellow bird swooped down, flying to the middle of the sky, and suddenly dived down, its sharp beak like a huge arrow, shooting towards the black water snake.

  In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, the wind and clouds transformed, as if there was a fierce gale, forming a huge whirlpool, looking like a tornado, the yellow bird plunged down in the violently rotating wind.

  The Black Water Mystic Snake let out a loud roar, and suddenly shot out endless ferocious light and ferocious divine aura from its gigantic snake eyes. It didn't care about the Yellow Bird attacking from the sky, and once again, it charged towards the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault with its massive snake head.

  "Boom!"

  In an instant, flying sand and walking stones, dust swirling, "Ka Ka Ka" tearing sound echoed through the sky, finally after a loud noise, the vault wall of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house, collapsed with a loud crash, was forcibly smashed open by the Black Water Mystic Snake with unmatched strength.

  Almost at the same time, the yellow bird rushed down in a frenzy, and the tornado instantly enveloped the Black Water Mystic Snake. Everyone only heard the Black Water Mystic Snake let out a thunderous roar, its voice extremely mournful, as if it had suffered some enormous injury.

  The wind was extremely violent, and people were like ants blown about by the wind. They had no choice but to retreat again for a considerable distance.

  In the waiting arena, dust gradually fell, but the roar did not decrease in the slightest. Everyone looked over and saw that on top of the black water snake's head, fresh blood was flowing, and from the right eye of the snake, blood was gushing out like a spring! It turned out that it had been pecked blind by the yellow bird!

  At this moment, the golden light in the Heaven Emperor's Treasury, which had been blasted open, slowly flashed and then gradually dimmed.

  The Black Water Serpent and the Yellow Bird both momentarily forgot their fight and looked down together.

  In front of these two giants, even the gigantic Heavenly Emperor's Treasury seemed like a child's toy.

  In the midst of flying dust, two figures stumbled to their feet in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury. They were Gui Li and Lu Xueqi. The little grey creature that had been perched on Gui Li's shoulder suddenly fell off and hid under a wooden platform, grasping a pillar with its hands to steady itself.

  It's likely that the situation in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury just now wasn't very good. Just looking at Gui Li and Lu Xueqi, although their faces were slightly pale, they still looked calm, but Xiao Hui was scared to the point of being "ashen-faced", his mouth constantly making "squeaking" sounds.

  The ghost town settled down, and immediately his body shook. On both sides, there were two huge beasts that were unbelievable in size, staring fiercely, and looking at their appearance, they were all filled with murderous aura, no need to think about it, this place was not a good place.

  But before he could react, the remaining snake eye of the Black Water Mystic Snake had already seen the wooden platform in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Trove, as well as the transparent liquid contained within the wooden cup on the platform.

  In an instant, the Black Water Mystic Snake's eyes shot out with uncontrollable greed, and its massive snake head suddenly charged down. The Yellow Bird wouldn't just stand by and watch, so it let out a clear cry and its sharp beak also dove down.

  The two giants simultaneously unleashed their power, and no matter how high Gui Li and Lu Xueqi's Dao lines were, they could only instinctively drive out their magic treasures to quickly fly away. But just as Gui Li flew up, his body suddenly shook, and a "squeaking" sound came from behind him. The little gray creature that had been lying on his shoulder was now hiding under the wooden platform and hadn't followed him.

  Although he had changed greatly from his usual self, he still had deep feelings for Xiao Hui. Without thinking twice, he wanted to turn back and pick up Xiao Hui again. But just as he hesitated, a yellow bird's sharp cry pierced the air, and together with the Black Water Mystic Snake, its wings fluttered wildly, unleashing a fierce gust of wind that sent Gui Li and Lu Xueqi flying far away.

  The demon was shocked in his heart, but the yellow bird's slap was so powerful that he flew out a long distance without control. It took him great effort to regain control of his body, and by then he had already flown dozens of feet away from the tree trunk. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and with a burst of clear light beneath him, he immediately flew back in reverse.

  At this moment, the struggle between the yellow bird and the black water snake is approaching a white heat. The black water snake's goal is clear: it wants to snatch that small cup of spiritual medicine. However, the yellow bird naturally won't let it get its hands on it, so it stops flying and perches on the tree trunk. The two giant beasts circle around the small wooden cup, biting and pecking at each other, letting out a series of shrill cries, but for the time being, they are unable to lower their heads to reach the spiritual medicine due to the opponent's overwhelming power.

  Xiao Hui hid under the wooden stage, still a bit afraid at first, but gradually discovered that the two big guys were only desperately fighting above their heads and didn't come down. So they quietly stuck out their head to take a look. But with this glance, they saw that the light screen that originally surrounded the wooden cup had also disappeared along with the collapse of the Tian Di treasure trove.

  Xiao Hui slowly climbed onto the wooden platform, raised his head and looked up, only to see in mid-air, snake heads and bird heads stretched out and pecked at each other, fighting with great enthusiasm, from time to time huge scales and feathers fell down like rain.

  The monkey scratched his head, blinked his eyes, and lowered his head to see that the liquid in the wooden cup beside him was like water, reflecting his own appearance. Among them, a stone floated on the surface of the water, but it didn't sink. It was crystal clear, but he had no idea what it was.

  It gazed at the wooden cup for a few moments, then suddenly leaned over and put its head into the cup, starting to drink with a gurgling sound.

  Gulu, gulu, gulu gulu...

  The black water snake and the yellow bird that were fighting to the death just now, the two giant beasts that were fighting with earth-shaking and heaven-stirring changes in color just now, suddenly both seemed to have stiffened their bodies.

  Gulu, gulu, gulu gulu...

  This faint, tiny sound was almost negligible amidst the countless terrifying loud noises, but for some reason, suddenly, everything in the entire world came to a standstill, leaving only this somewhat comical sound of a monkey drinking water.

  That cup was very small, and the liquid it held was only about half a cup. The little monkey, Xiao Hui, quickly finished drinking it, then lifted his head to look around. In mid-air, the Black Water Mystic Snake looked down, seemingly still not reacting, then lifted its head to look at its arch-nemesis, the Yellow Bird; and the Yellow Bird also looked at Xiao Hui in almost exactly the same way, then looked at the Black Water Mystic Snake.

  ……

  Hmph.

  Suddenly, another strange sound was heard. The Black Water Mystic Snake and the Yellow Bird looked down at the same time, but only saw Xiaohui sticking out his tongue and making a "chp-chp" sound twice. Then he shook his head, apparently not satisfied with the taste of the water in the cup, which was far inferior to the delicious food cooked by his master in the kitchen of Qingyun Mountain's Dazhu Peak many years ago. At this time, Xiaohui's eyes turned around and saw that although the water in the cup had been drunk, there was still a small, shiny stone lying quietly at the bottom of the wooden cup. He simply picked it up and threw it lightly into the air, opening his mouth wide like a human eating peanuts, "ah-woo" one mouthful, and swallowed it down.

  ……

  In the distance, many people are sweating together!

  Suddenly, a loud roar and a sharp whistle were heard. The black water snake and the yellow bird simultaneously went into a frenzy, charging downwards with their heads and beaks. Xiao Hui was shocked and turned pale, even his monkey hair stood on end. With nowhere to escape, he instinctively lay down on the wooden platform, covering his head with both hands.

  Just as Xiao Hui was about to die under the joint attack of the two giant beasts, a flash of light appeared in this brief moment. It was Gui Li who rushed over with all his might, stretched out his hand and lifted up Xiao Hui, then flew away with all his strength.

  They had just left the wooden stage when they heard a loud rumbling sound behind them. The entire remaining structure of the Tian Emperor's treasure vault was reduced to nothing but dust and smoke...

  The Black Water Mystic Snake let out a loud roar on the tree trunk, but although it was invincible on land, it had no way to deal with flying enemies. After shouting for half a day, it finally couldn't do anything and, adding to that, the spiritual medicine was lost and there were natural enemies present, so it turned around in anger and slowly crawled down along the giant tree, soon disappearing into the mist.

  But the crisis of Guili and Xiao Hui has not disappeared, Heishui Xuan Snake can't help it, but there is still a divine beast Huang Niao that has been galloping across the nine heavens and eight million miles, at this moment, flapping its wings, unexpectedly refusing to give up and pursuing closely.

  The ghostly figure on the cliff was sweating profusely, and the yellow bird was flying at an incredible speed. However, since it had just engaged in a fierce battle with the black water snake, it was severely injured and its strength was greatly depleted. Moreover, the ghostly figure was extremely agile, constantly making sharp turns in mid-air, which allowed it to evade the yellow bird's pursuit. Nevertheless, despite its exhaustion, the yellow bird gradually caught up, and just as it seemed like it would be overtaken, the little gray creature in the ghostly figure's arms let out a loud, shrill cry, clearly anxious. After crying out twice, it suddenly let out a "burp" sound, seemingly unaware of whether it had eaten too much or what, and actually burped at this critical moment.

  The ghost was both terrifying and hilarious, crying and laughing at the same time, but at this moment, he couldn't care about that anymore and could only desperately dodge the fierce wind behind him. Just as he was flying away, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a flowerbed in front of him, which was surprisingly different from the surrounding desolation, with fresh flowers still blooming profusely, and a faint red glow emanating from among them.

  He was shocked and in an instant he saw what was hidden there, unexpectedly they also came here, but how come they didn't tell him?

  He felt a wave of doubt in his heart, but at this moment it was a matter of life and death, there was no time to think so much, he immediately flew towards that place, the yellow bird closely pursued.

  In the distance, Lu Xueqi and others cried out in surprise, just as Huang Niao's sharp claws were about to grab onto Gui Li's back. Seeing Huang Niao's furious expression, he wouldn't rest until these thieves who stole the Tian Di Ling medicine were torn to pieces!

  Before he could finish speaking, the ghostly figure had already used up all its energy and transformed into a green light that flashed like lightning. With a whooshing sound, it flew over from above the flower bed, while the yellow bird didn't notice anything else and closely followed, barely flying onto the flower bed.

  Sudden change occurred.

  Under the flowers, a red light suddenly burst out, merging into one, and in the high sky above, a ancient cauldron with a completely red body appeared, which was the Ghost King Sect's town temple treasure - Fulong Cauldron.

  The one standing on the Fulong Cauldron had a calm expression and was muttering to himself, it was precisely the Ghost King.

  The mysterious incantation echoed again, and Qinglong and Youji also appeared beside the flower bed, their hands waving continuously. In an instant, under the mysterious and unfathomable spiritual power of Fulongding, the "Kunlongque" formation was activated again, a red glow swept up, connecting into a piece, forming a dark red light curtain, gathering on top of Fulongding in the high sky, trapping Huangniao alive inside.

  The yellow bird was unable to break free, and instead charged left and right, but it didn't know whether it had exhausted too much energy from its fierce battle with the Black Water Mystic Snake or if the Dragon Gate's power was simply too strong. In any case, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't break through, and instead was knocked back by a mysterious force, its injuries appearing even more severe.

  Finally, as if knowing it was powerless, the yellow bird let out a mournful cry and stopped moving, suspended in the red glow.

  The Demon King let out a long laugh and descended, Ghostly also slowly hugged Xiao Hui and landed beside him. At this moment, Qing Long and You Ji also stood up.

  The demon king slightly frowned, looking at the ghost king, but the ghost king smiled and waved his hand: "Let's talk about this later." As he spoke, his gaze looked far away, watching the distant Fa Xiang, Lu Xueqi and others. Suddenly, he turned to Gu Jie and smiled: "You say, how should we deal with these people?"

  The ghost's body shook slightly, but the Ghost King, although smiling warmly, had a glint of sharp light in his eyes, with a hint of coldness hidden within.

  All around, it suddenly became quiet again.
