"Cough cough cough!" Several people covered their mouths and noses, coughing for a while. When they looked up, the Fire Rat had already disappeared into the sky, leaving barely a trace. Ling Zhu shouted anxiously, "He's going to escape! Hurry and chase after him!"
"No need, don't pursue a desperate enemy!" Xiang Xueer shook her head and said. She picked up the Kongtong Seal in her hand and returned it to Lingxu Daozhang. "Since the Kongtong Seal is safe, we don't need to worry about that guy anymore!"
Lingxu Daozhang quickly took the Kongtong Seal from her hand, expressing his gratitude repeatedly. "I truly appreciate the three of you. At this moment, my Southern Mountain of the Five Peaks is facing great calamity. If it weren't for your assistance, my temple would have been in ruins by now. If I lost this Kongtong Seal, I wouldn't even have the face to meet the esteemed masters of Southern Mountain of the Five Peaks."
After speaking, Lingxu Daozhang turned to Xiang Xueer and apologized again. "Miss, I sincerely apologize for mistaking you for a demon earlier. I am truly sorry."
"Ah! Daozhang, there's no need to feel guilty. It's understandable that I was mistaken for a demon; I've gotten used to it!" Xiang Xueer quickly clasped her hands together in a gesture of understanding.
At this moment, Ming Zheng and a group of disciples looked up at the fleeing figure in the sky from outside and hurriedly got up from the ground, heading towards the secret chamber upstairs. "Master, Master, where are you?"
"Ming Zheng! I am here!" Lingxu Daozhang heard his disciples' voices and quickly went to meet them. Seeing that everyone was unharmed, he finally felt relieved. "The demon has already escaped, and the Kongtong Seal is safe as well. This time we owe it all to these three."
Ming Zheng turned to look at Xiang Xueer, along with Ling Zhu and Fat Ancestor beside her, and hurriedly approached them with his fellow disciples. "Thank you all for your help, and thank you for showing mercy, Miss!"
Xiang Xueer raised an eyebrow at Ming Zheng's handsome face and immediately smiled broadly. "Oh, it's nothing! Just a small matter; we're all part of the jianghu (martial arts world), no need to take it to heart."
Jianghu? Ling Zhu stared at Xiang Xueer's expression and instantly understood that she had taken an interest again. She quietly nudged Xiang Xueer's shoulder. "This little daoist looks pretty good! What? Are you interested again? Be careful; Li Yunyang might get jealous!"
"Yes, he’s not bad!" Xiang Xueer nodded with a smile but then suddenly lost her cheerfulness and quickly leaned closer to whisper, "Ling Zhu, I beg you, please don’t mention him when you're looking at handsome guys in the future!"
"Hehe!" Ling Zhu chuckled softly while covering her mouth with her hand. Shirley and Li Yunyang were clearly a pair of playful rivals; anyone could see that they cared about each other. One liked to flirt with handsome men while the other loved getting jealous over nothing—truly unable to live without causing a stir every day.
Thus, the three of them had to temporarily stay on Wuyue Mountain. Although they needed to obtain the Kongtong Seal, they could not snatch it away like that Fire Rat; they still had to seek the agreement of the Daoist priests.
Xiang Xueer stood on the highest eaves of the temple, overlooking the vast Wuyue Mountain, which was ravaged by swarms of rats. Along the path up the mountain lay scattered the corpses of Daoist priests. Ming Zheng was leading his fellow disciples to collect the bodies of their companions, unable to hold back his tears.
"Alas!" Xiang Xueer sighed, clenching her fists tightly as a surge of inexplicable anger arose within her. To prevent this world from suffering again and to ensure that the tragedy of Wuyue Mountain would not happen again, she had to stop the Demon Lord's conspiracy.
"Shirley!" Ling Zhu called from below the eaves. Xiang Xueer looked down and saw her signaling with her eyes towards Fat Ancestor and Lingxu Daozhang, who were conversing nearby. It seemed they were discussing matters regarding the Kongtong Seal.
She lightly tapped her toes on the eaves and leaped down from above with a whoosh. Ling Zhu hurried over and whispered, "It seems Fat Ancestor isn't having much luck in his discussion; that old Daoist doesn't seem willing to hand over the Kongtong Seal!"
Xiang Xueer cast a glance at the two and walked over with Ling Zhu, immediately hearing Lingxu Daozhang say with a troubled expression, "You three saved all of Wuyue Mountain; we are very grateful for your help. However, this Kongtong Seal holds extraordinary significance for our sect and cannot be easily given away!"
"We're not trying to take your temple's treasure; it's just that circumstances have forced our hand. To save the Common People and prevent the schemes of the demon realm from succeeding, we must unite all Ancient Five Divine Artifacts this time. Otherwise, today's tragedy at Southern Mountain of the Five Peaks is just the beginning!" Xiang Xueer said with furrowed brows, prompting Lingxu Daozhang to turn and look at her.
Fat Ancestor had already explained everything clearly earlier. After hearing her words, he felt even more troubled. Could he really hand over a treasure that had been passed down through generations of their sect to these three unknown individuals?
Xiang Xueer immediately noticed his concern and smiled: "It seems Lingxu Daozhang is still not very reassured about us. In that case, why don't we listen to what the Kongtong Seal itself has to say?"
"Yes, that's a good idea!" Ling Zhu exclaimed in surprise at Xiang Xueer, patting her shoulder: "You’re so clever; I almost forgot that there’s Kongtong Ancestor inside the Kongtong Seal! Since we find it hard to decide among ourselves, let him decide."
"Kongtong Ancestor?" Lingxu Daozhang looked at them in astonishment: "I’ve heard from my master that every Ancient Artifact contains an Ancestor, but I’ve only heard about it and never seen one in person!"
"Hehe!" Xiang Xueer raised an eyebrow at Fat Ancestor standing nearby: "It's no wonder you’re surprised since you’ve never seen one before. But didn’t I tell you earlier? Don’t underestimate this fat guy; he is none other than the renowned Ancestor of the Demon Refining Pot."
Fat Ancestor immediately glared at Xiang Xueer with a dark face, saying, "You girl, how can you introduce me like that? Who are you calling foolish?"
Ling Zhu was hiding nearby, stifling a laugh. Lingxu Daozhang kept sizing up Fat Ancestor in front of him. After much hesitation, he finally agreed to Xiang Xueer's proposal: "Indeed, saving the Common People is of utmost importance. Since I have no other way, let's do as you say!"
Having convinced him, Xiang Xueer nodded. The four of them returned to the secret chamber. She drew out the Azure Wind Sword from behind her, while Ling Zhu took out the Fuxi Qin: "It seems we need to rely on both of you again; please summon Kongtong Ancestor."
A resonant sound echoed again as the Fuxi Qin spun in mid-air, and the Azure Wind Sword emitted a humming resonance. The Kongtong Seal on the table began to shine brightly. On the jade-colored circular plate, two intertwined dragons appeared. After hearing their companions' call, the two dragons suddenly came to life and started to move around on the jade plate.
Standing aside, Fat Ancestor crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the wall with an extremely displeased expression, glaring at the wandering Jade Dragon. He muttered under his breath, "Hmph, this sissy is just putting on airs again."
Xiang Xueer was pondering what kind of being Kongtong Ancestor was when she was even more intrigued by the fat man's words. A sissy? Could it be that Kongtong Ancestor is a woman?
Suddenly, the two dragons soared into the air and spun around. With a flash of blinding light, a figure emerged from within the glow. When Xiang Xueer focused her eyes, she saw a man in his thirties wearing a pink long robe and holding a folding fan. He had delicate features and looked mature and handsome, especially with his flowing black hair and silver-white sideburns that gave him a unique character.
"Wow!" Xiang Xueer couldn't help but exclaim. Her recent streak of good luck with handsome men continued; she was so captivated that she completely forgot about Li Yunyang.
With a snap, Kongtong Ancestor opened his fan and elegantly waved it in front of his chest. His piercing gaze immediately shot toward Fat Ancestor, rolling his eyes dramatically and saying in a high-pitched voice, "You detestable fatso! Just seeing you makes me feel disgusted!"
"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Fat Ancestor exploded with rage and rushed forward, puffing up his cheeks and glaring back: "You sissy! Do you think I want to see you? If it weren't for this troublesome situation, I wouldn't want to see you at all!"
"Ah? Stinky fatso! Who are you calling a sissy? If you have the guts, say it again!" Kongtong Yinshi Ancestor retorted with hands on hips, adopting an expression like that of an angry wife as he pushed forward.
