The reincarnating night has already swallowed all the light of the Cuiying Trials forest, but in this hazy night, there is still a sword aura like a starlight piercing through the woods. The tree trunks seem to be all amazed by this sword aura, so much so that they seem to be bowing in reverence.
Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang have spent quite a few days in this Cuiying Trials forest. The night covers the treetops, but the radiance of the XuanYuan sword is like a lone star, piercing through the darkness.
The light flows through the dense gaps of the forest, as if even the trees are paying homage to the girl and her sword.
Bai Cang Observing the surroundings, a look of vigilance shines in its eyes, and with a slight smile at the corner of its mouth, it says, "These days have been really busy. But fortunately, the harvest has been quite substantial."
Xuan Xiaowei rolled her eyes and smiled gently, saying, "Well, thank you. But we can't take it lightly either. The demons are getting more cunning, and we still need to find the other missing junior sisters."
Bai Cang paused, murmuring softly, "You still have to worry about Shen Xiaozi's sister, right?"
Xuan Xiaowei suddenly stopped and looked at Bai Cang with a determined look, saying, "It's only natural. She's like a sister to me. I can't let her suffer."
Bai Cang was taken aback, seemingly moved by Xuan Xiaowei's determined gaze.
He bit his lip slightly, a bitter smile on his face, then shook his head. "Xuan Xiaowei, your kindness and determination sometimes seem a bit unrealistic. But I understand, for Shen Xiaozi, you would give everything without hesitation."
"Just like I would give everything for you," Bai Cang muttered softly, but his voice was so low that Xuan Xiaowei didn't hear.
"We'd better find a solution quickly. I wonder how Shen Xiaozi is doing now..." Xuan Xiaowei said, tightening the XuanYuan sword in her hand and quickening her pace.
Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang came to a hidden cave in the woods. The interior of the cave was like a naturally formed cabin, but unlike a typical cabin, the walls and floor here were made of various precious stones.
They temporarily housed more than twenty newly blossomed disciples here for treatment.
Shen Xiaozi: "Sister, you're finally back!"
Xuan Xiaowei smiled and walked over to gently stroke Shen Xiaozi's head: "How are you feeling? Do you feel any better?"
Shen Xiaozi's complexion has improved a lot compared to before, but you can still see her weak appearance.
Shen Xiaozi: "Sister, don't give me any more elixirs. Save some for yourself! This trial is not just a place to pass through, but also for those who can ascend to become the Lord of the Cuiying Pavilion. It's a place to quickly improve one's strength through training."
Xuan Xiaowei frowned, her expression turning serious: "But it's already the sixth day, exceeding the three-day treatment period. The amount of demon-suppressing elixir you need is also increasing, and the duration it can maintain is getting shorter. How could I not worry?"
Bai Cang suddenly spoke up, "What Shen Xiaozi said also makes sense. We need to consider a long-term plan."
Xuan Xiaowei is conflicted, but also knows that Bai Cang's words are not false.
"Then let's go find the place called 'Cuiying Lake' tomorrow. It is said that the monsters there are weaker, and they appear more frequently. The efficacy of their monster cores is extremely good."
Bai Cang nodded, "Good idea! This might solve Shen Xiaozi's fundamental health issue."
Shen Xiaozi: "Sister, then I want to go too."
Xuan Xiaowei hesitated for a moment: "Your current condition is not suitable for action. It's better to stay here."
Shen Xiaozi nodded reluctantly, although she was unwilling, she knew her sister was doing it for her own good.
Xuan Xiaowei patted Shen Xiaozi's head and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely bring back the demon pill and help you recover as soon as possible."
The night was deep, and Shen Xiaozi couldn't sleep. She saw Xuan Xiaowei at the entrance of the cave, so she took the initiative to sit next to her.
"Xiaozhi, can you tell me how the people from the Pure Moon Sect found you in the first place?" Xuan Xiaowei suddenly spoke, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness.
Shen Xiaozi was slightly stunned, took a deep breath, and suppressed the tears that were about to well up.
"At that time, our whole family was attacked by demons. My sister and I ran for our lives, and to protect me, she hid me in a tree hollow and told me not to come out. I witnessed my sister being taken away by the demons. Later, the hunters from the Pure Moon Sect arrived, drove away the demons, and then found me."
"What happened to your sister later?" Xuan Xiaowei's voice was filled with indescribable pain.
"When the hunters arrived, my sister had already been killed by the monster. She sacrificed herself to save me, she's my hero. I will never forget everything she did for me, even though she's no longer in this world."
A sudden sharp pain struck, and Xuan Xiaowei walked over and tightly embraced Shen Xiaozi. "You are a strong girl, your sister will definitely be proud of you."
"Thank you, Xiaowei. In my heart, you are also the strongest sister. Can I go with you tomorrow?"
"I really don't want to hide behind people forever," Shen Xiaozi pleaded with Xuan Xiaowei.
Xuan Xiaowei looked into Shen Xiaozi's sincere eyes and knew she couldn't refuse, so she nodded in agreement.
The next morning, as the sun was just rising, Xuan Xiaowei, Bai Cang, and Shen Xiaozi were already standing on the shore of Cuiying Lake. The water of the lake was clear and transparent, with the moonlight reflecting on the surface like a silver ribbon.
However, the three of them had only a brief moment to appreciate the beautiful scenery. The surface of the lake suddenly churned violently, and a burst of light and shadow flew out from the water.
"Be careful! The Cuiying Butterfly has appeared!" Bai Cang quickly drew his sword and slashed at the burst of light and shadow.
Cuiying moved like a butterfly, darting towards Xuan Xiaowei in an instant, but was quickly blocked by her swift sword move.
"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving!" Xuan Xiaowei said with a cold gaze, pointing her sword at the opponent.
Cuiying the butterfly let out a sharp scream, flapped its wings, and miraculously shattered Xuan Xiaowei's sword energy.
"This monster's strength far exceeds our expectations!" Bai Cang gritted his teeth and once again swung his sword at Cuiying the butterfly.
"Shen Xiaozi, quickly escape!" Xuan Xiaowei shouted.
However, Shen Xiaozi shook her head firmly and responded, "I'm not leaving!"
At this moment, Xuan Xiaowei once again attempted the secret technique of the XuanYuan clan, awakening the power of her own bloodline. Suddenly, a mysterious energy surged into her body.
She raised her sword, feeling the strong energy gathering at the tip of the sword, forming a dominant sword aura.
"Slash!" Xuan Xiaowei shouted loudly, and the sword energy pierced through Cuiying's body like a breaking arrow in an instant.
Cuiying let out a chilling scream, and her body instantly disintegrated, turning into a bright green and translucent demon pill.
Xuan Xiaowei walked to the front of the Yao Dan, bent down to pick it up, took a deep breath, and then put the Yao Dan into the storage bag.
"Well done, we have accumulated experience this time and also harvested this precious Yao Dan," said Bai Cang with a smile.
Xuan Xiaowei Although he smiled, he knew deep down that this was just the beginning. They still had to stay here for five more days, and the road ahead was long and uncertain.
Afterward, the three of them returned to the hidden cave in the woods.
