Yuan Xian'er turned her gaze and smiled at Mo Changqing, "What did you say? Have we met before?"
"Hmph! Don't play dumb with me! I want you to know how to write the word 'death'!" Mo Changqing frowned, unleashing two gusts of palm wind.
Yuan Xian'er felt a rush of wind beneath her feet, gracefully dodging the first gust, but the second struck her shoulder, causing her to spit out blood and fly backward.
Yuan Xian'er thought to herself: Is this the power of an immortal? Just two palms and I'm done for? My right arm won't move; the bones must be shattered. Master, where have you gone? Your disciple is about to die!
She closed her eyes, only to find herself enveloped in a warm embrace. She opened her eyes wide and murmured, "Is it you?"
"Alas..." Li Xiaonan sighed, holding Yuan Xian'er as he continuously retreated.
Earlier, he had disagreed with Yuan Xian'er and turned to leave. However, after flying less than a hundred meters away, he couldn't shake off thoughts of that mischievous girl. He found himself returning. He reasoned with himself: Even if I don't go back to save that girl, the fool inside me would force me to do so anyway. It’s better for me to go myself than risk him acting foolishly and losing his life.
"It’s him!" Melt exclaimed in surprise. Mo Changqing was equally shocked, thinking: Are these two working together? Could he already know my purpose here? That’s impossible!
Mo Changqing gritted his teeth and unleashed two more palm strikes. He thought: As long as I leave him with a breath, it won't count as disobeying my superior's orders.
Li Xiaonan stepped lightly on the lotus flower beneath his feet, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Mo Changqing was taken aback; after seeing Yuan Xian'er dodge one palm strike, he was already quite astonished. Now Li Xiaonan had evaded both.
Li Xiaonan snorted, thinking: Immortals are impressive! But I have the Harmony Technique for internal cultivation and the Martial Soul Technique for external skills. You think you can hit me with your palm winds? Let me show you what Swift Steps are all about!
With his feet on the Carefree Fan and secretly channeling the Martial Soul Technique alongside the Jade Dragonfly, his speed was nothing short of extraordinary!
Yuan Xian'er frowned slightly; she hadn't expected Li Xiaonan to be so formidable that he could save her from an immortal's grasp.
In a moment of distraction, Mo Changqing found that Li Xiaonan had already vanished from sight. Melt reminded him, "Big Brother, should we chase after him?"
Mo Changqing clenched his fists tightly. The Heaven-Defying Mirror was incredibly precious; it couldn't just be lost like that! If the master found out, his life would be forfeit. As for Li Xiaonan, as long as he spared him, the master likely wouldn't say much. He nodded and said, "Let's chase!"
Yuan Xian'er leaned against Li Xiaonan, the wind howling past her ears. Coupled with the injury on her shoulder, she felt increasingly cold, her consciousness gradually fading. She trembled uncontrollably in Li Xiaonan's embrace.
Li Xiaonan furrowed his brow, sensing something was off with the person in his arms. "Yuan Xian'er, don't sleep! Wake up!"
"Cold... it hurts..."
Li Xiaonan sighed and tightened his hold, pressing her cheek against his chest. His right hand channeled True Essence Power into her body to soothe her meridians. He exhaled and thought to himself: Thankfully, this girl has strong bones; otherwise, if a celestial being had struck her, she would have gone straight to the Underworld. Unfortunately, her bones were shattered; he needed to find a place to heal her quickly.
Li Xiaonan glanced back and thought: This is bad! They've caught up!
While using the Swift Steps from the Martial Soul Technique, he also had to stabilize Yuan Xianer's injuries, which was incredibly exhausting. Fortunately, the Harmony Technique had allowed his True Essence Power reserves to reach the Divine Separation Stage; otherwise, just rushing like this would have drained him completely.
Mo Changqing frowned silently. He marveled at Li Xiaonan's unusual speed. Was this really the cultivation level of an Early Stage Spirit Separation? Every time he seemed close to catching up with Li Xiaonan, it was as if Li Xiaonan suddenly surged ahead again. What was even stranger was that a cultivator at the Early Stage of Spirit Separation couldn't possibly have that much True Essence Power. Even if he consumed pills along the way, it wouldn't be enough time—could it be...
Were the rumors from the celestial realm true? Was that legendary Miraculous indeed in the cultivation world, and had that kid already learned it?
Mo Changqing felt as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been overturned in his heart. He kept calculating in his mind. Although he was a celestial being of high status, he was ultimately just a worker. Even if his master obtained the Miraculous in the future, he would only have contributed some effort; it could never be passed down to him. This line of thought ignited a murderous intent within him; he vowed to extract supreme skills through severe interrogation!
Li Xiaonan had been running for an hour straight while maintaining a certain distance from the celestial beings pursuing him behind. The Swift Steps had reached their peak under these circumstances—his movements were erratic and unpredictable. Even with Mo Changqing and Melt using teleportation, they found it difficult to catch him; they often ended up grasping at nothing.
He frowned deeply; continuing to escape like this wasn't a solution. While they couldn't catch up to him, he couldn't escape either. Moreover... He glanced at Yuan Xian'er in his arms; if he didn't save her soon, her entire arm would be useless. The shattered bones directly affected her Meridian system—specifically the Pericardium Meridian—and damage there would directly impact heart function. If that happened...
Suddenly, someone gripped his shoulder tightly. Startled, he instinctively prepared to strike back but stopped when he saw the familiar aquamarine veil. "Ice Maiden?"
The Ice Maiden opened her hands, and seven marbles floated in mid-air. With her slender jade fingers lightly flicking them one by one, they flew toward Mo Changqing's direction. She said to Li Xiaonan, "Come with me!"
Li Xiaonan nodded and, holding Yuan Xian'er, followed the Ice Maiden as they flew towards Qingyu City. Yuan Xian'er slightly opened her eyes and whispered, "Don't... go into the city, head northwest to Langya Sect..." After saying this, she fainted.
Li Xiaonan's inner thoughts raced: It was too late! All of his True Essence Power was channeled into the Carefree Fan, and the True Essence Power within him rapidly dwindled like a fire burning out. His body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, moving even faster than the Ice Maiden by a third. The Ice Maiden followed closely behind, and as he saw his upright figure and athletic form, it felt as if a long-dormant heart had cracked open a small fissure.
About fifteen minutes later, Li Xiaonan and his companions arrived at the gates of Langya Sect. Li Xiaonan was drenched in sweat; what kind of sect was this? The signboard looked terribly dilapidated! The wooden plaque was slightly rotting, and the gold paint had long since peeled away, presenting a mottled appearance.
Langya Sect was situated on Langya Mountain. After passing through a patch of Purple Bamboo Forest, what was supposed to be a sect residence looked more like a broken temple. Li Xiaonan held Yuan Xian'er and couldn't knock on the door, so he had to rely on the Ice Maiden.
The Ice Maiden nodded and lightly tapped on the gate with her fair hand. "Creak... Bang..." The door fell down...
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but curse, "What the hell! How poor can this place be?"
"Who is it! I just repaired this door!" A young man in his twenties stepped out from the broken temple. He wore a blue brocade robe with his black hair styled upright, looking quite refreshing. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, he had a handsome face, especially with those long eyelashes fluttering lively. He swaggered over to the temple entrance.
"Ah! Guests have arrived! Are you here for a meal or to stay?" Li Xiaonan's head was filled with black lines. Inner Thoughts: Excuse me, are you an innkeeper? This place looks like a broken temple and has nothing to do with an inn!
The newcomer chuckled warmly, giving off a clean and friendly vibe. "Oh! That girl! What happened to her? Come in quickly!" He finally noticed the person in Li Xiaonan's arms and without hesitation led them inside by stepping over the fallen door.
Li Xiaonan didn't have time to explain and directly said, "Get me a room; she's injured, I need to save her!"
The young man nodded and led them into a guest room. Although somewhat shabby, it was relatively clean. Li Xiaonan placed Yuan Xian'er on the bed and told the Ice Maiden and the stranger, "You two guard outside; don't come in!"
"Okay!" The young man readily agreed and stood at the door like a guardian. The Ice Maiden lowered her eyelids and gently glanced at Li Xiaonan before stepping out of the room.
Li Xiaonan waved his hand to close the door behind him and reached out to tear open Yuan Xian'er's clothing.
He took out the scalpel he had forged in Dragon Valley and made an incision on Yuan Xian'er's shoulder. His gaze inadvertently dropped a few inches; yet another impoverished girl.
He moved quickly, inserting a Holy Life Pill into her wound. With his right hand grasping firmly, he began to reform Yuan Xian'er's bones while his left hand glowed with white light, slowly moving down from her head to regulate her breath.
Li Xiaonan let out a deep breath as he collapsed onto the bed, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Today had been incredibly dangerous; if it weren't for Swift Steps and Jade Dragonfly, he might have lost his life.
"Ah!" Yuan Xian'er stirred awake, noticing her tattered clothes, the red garment exposed. Seeing a man sitting beside her, she immediately sat up, ignoring the pain in her shoulder, and slapped Li Xiaonan across the face.
Li Xiaonan felt an overwhelming sense of frustration. "I oxidized... Hehe!"
Here we go again? Damn it! This is like burning bridges after crossing them! At least let me explain that I saved her! Otherwise, I'll end up with some kind of bad reputation. Hey! Can you say something? What do you want from me? Just tell me clearly instead of playing this guessing game; I can't figure out what you want!
The Yuan Ying at Dantian was shaking its head left and right.
"Bang!" The door swung open again. "You little thief, you're awake! Wow! Nice figure!"
Yuan Xian'er blushed, quickly pulling out a goose feather robe from her storage bracelet and putting it on. She shot a fierce glare at the newcomer and shouted, "Ling Xingyao! If you dare to look again, I'll gouge your eyes out! If you dare to say anything inappropriate, I'll cut out your tongue!"
"Hehe! I won't look or say anything. But what exactly happened? And what's wrong with this guy?" Ling Xingyao asked, glancing at the silly grin on Li Xiaonan's face in confusion.
"Don't mind him; he's just having another episode!" Once Yuan Xian'er finished dressing, she recounted the events that had transpired. Of course, she omitted the part about stealing the immortal's treasure since there was a stranger, Ice Maiden, present. Instead, she mentioned that a crazy immortal had been chasing her relentlessly.
The four of them introduced themselves to each other and settled down at Langya Sect.
Li Xiaonan finally understood why Langya Sect was in such disarray; there was only one person running the place—both the sect leader and disciple—named Ling Xingyao. With cultivation at the Early Stage of Spirit Separation, he was essentially a broke loser in modern terms. Since Yuan Xian'er and he were childhood friends, she thought of him first when she found herself in trouble.
