"Help?" Gu Ping had lost count of how many times those two words flashed through his mind. For over two months, while traversing the Heart's Path, he constantly questioned himself, yet each time he faced different people, he made different choices. Each choice represented Gu Ping's most genuine thoughts at that moment.
Now, a different person posed the same question again. To be honest, Gu Ping felt a deep apprehension towards his senior sister, the woman with an incredibly ordinary name but an extraordinary appearance. Her captivating beauty enchanted everyone, and Gu Ping was no exception.
However, his senior sister had never misjudged him. Even during those days in the Harmony Society, he could sense that those people genuinely regarded him as their Junior Brother. Although they occasionally teased him, Gu Ping knew they all cared for him, including the senior sister who was currently facing a crisis.
Should he extend a leg to save her? Gu Ping didn't believe he possessed the strength of the Shaya Spirit. Moreover, the Shaya Spirit was advancing toward the Heavenly Boundary and could step into that initial phase at any moment, becoming a deity in the eyes of mortals.
Furthermore, no matter what, he could not risk exposing the Eastern Yin-Yang Canopy in their eyes. Doing so would surely lead to associations with The Book of Radiant Path being right where he stood. The risks were far too great. If he refrained from revealing the Eastern Yin-Yang Canopy but instead displayed the Eastern Yin Cloak, that overwhelming Chaotic Spiritual Power might resemble demonic energy. There was no telling if he would be mistaken for a Demonic Cultivator or even a true Dark Overlord. At that point, even Mahayana Practitioners might ruthlessly strike him down.
If he chose not to reveal the Eastern Yin-Yang Canopy... Gu Ping thought it over; he absolutely would not risk exposing himself to the current threat. Perhaps teaming up with Yoyo would give him a slim chance of survival, but dragging along a burden would likely prove too much for him.
His senior sister clearly had little fighting strength left. Struggling to rise from the ground, she leaned against the large tree that had just shielded her from danger, taking shallow breaths. The veil covering her face had long since fallen away during battle. After all, how could a beast appreciate human beauty? The Shaya Spirit merely saw her as another female creature; there were no deeper feelings involved.
As the Shaya Spirit approached him step by step, his senior sister slowly closed her eyes. At that moment, Gu Ping saw her pull out a jade flower from her bosom. The pure red hue made it look immaculate, as if it belonged to another world—a lotus untouched by worldly filth.
The Shaya Spirit raised its sharp claws and prepared to strike down. His senior sister no longer wished to resist futilely; all she hoped for now was that those who had come with her would reach safety at the academy. Although it seemed somewhat unrealistic, at least she had managed to avert a significant crisis for them.
"Wrong," she thought of her Junior Brother. She wondered if he had escaped from the wolf pack; with such powerful Light Spirit Power, he should have been fine against them. She thought it would soon come to an end; perhaps dying there wouldn’t be so bad after all—no more worries. But then she suddenly found herself not wanting to die; there was a fool waiting for her at Liuzhu Peak. If she died there, would he still be waiting for her?
Instead of the anticipated tearing pain, she felt a violent shaking that sent fresh waves of agony through her wounds. Her legs flailed in mid-air as if grasping something. When she opened her eyes, she realized she was somehow atop a red creature.
What on earth was happening?
"Am I okay?"
That voice was familiar. The Senior Sister gritted her teeth against the excruciating pain and turned her neck slightly to glance behind her. It was Junior Brother. Looking at that somewhat familiar face, a profound sense of peace washed over her, an instinctive feeling of reliability blossoming in her heart. As long as Junior Brother was there, she felt that nothing could go wrong.
He was fine, just like Xiazhi and Qin Wenjun, who had already scattered. She had seen that beast earlier; it was too powerful, and they had all been caught off guard.
The Shaya Spirit stood as a formidable presence in the food chain of the Flowing Cloud Realm. That place was undoubtedly the territory of the demon race; it would be strange if it weren't strong.
The two rode Yoyo, frantically fleeing through Tunlin, while the Shaya Spirit relentlessly pursued them. Its red figure was strikingly visible in the moonlight, and combined with the Shaya Spirit's incredible agility and speed, Yoyo found it impossible to shake off the chase.
Their escape had awakened countless sleeping beasts along the way. The most perilous moment came when Yoyo accidentally stepped on the head of an Eastern Lotus Serpent Demon, causing that serpent demon to chase after Yoyo for a distance. However, the Shaya Spirit remained right behind Yoyo, and the gap between them was closing rapidly.
What should we do? That guy is getting closer!
"Yoyo, turn left."
Gu Ping calmly issued commands, guiding Yoyo through the territory of powerful beasts time and again. Yet, there was no hindrance posed to the Shaya Spirit; this was the domain of the Spirit Tribe, where every beast acknowledged the leadership of the Demon Spirit to reside. Thus, when those beasts sensed the aura of the Shaya Spirit, none dared to intervene.
And then—
"Stop! There's a cliff ahead!" Senior Sister shouted.
But Yoyo seemed not to hear, resolutely following Gu Ping's orders. It was a kind of trust—a trust worthy of life itself.
At the edge of the cliff, Yoyo leaped high into the air, unaware of how deep the eastern side of the cliff was. It was clear that with such a jump, it was impossible to surpass the cliff.
