I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 691 Rescue

When Shironozu reached the top of the mountain, there was no one there.

Li Ling shouted for a long time.

"Not found."

"I don't have any here either."

Long Aotian climbed back up from the snowdrift.

"Could he really be buried under this snow?"

Li Ling was filled with worry.

With the exit wide open, people gradually arrived at the mountaintop to search for the missing person.

Wanqi Ziye turned back and walked towards the snow-capped mountain.

Kongji and Huaxi followed.

Ying Fengyi glanced at the exit, and without hesitation, went in the opposite direction.

After entering the secret realm, she finally broke through to the next level. However, because she had possessed another body, it became increasingly difficult for her to cultivate. This advancement to the Void Refinement stage cost her a great deal of resources.

It's a pity I couldn't kill Jiang He. Now that the avalanche has occurred, it would be best if he were dead.

One should ride a sword to travel as desired.

She landed on the snowdrift.

There were quite a few people on the snow-capped mountain, and Bai Zhizhou became wary as soon as he saw Ying Fengyi:

"The exit is open."

Bai Zhizhou looked at Ying Fengyi, holding a sword in his hand.

"I know where she is."

Ying Fengyi smiled but made no move.

These people are such a nuisance.

"I don't need you to come. Get as far away as you can." Li Ling had a bad impression of Ying Fengyi. As the senior sister of the Xiaoyao Sect, this person always targeted Jiang He. If the two of them didn't have little interaction, she would have suspected that this person had a grudge against Jiang He.

Pei Ci, watching from a distance, slowly walked towards Ying Fengyi.

The light spiritual root within his spiritual veins was faintly visible:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Pei Ci did not hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

Ying Fengyi never expected that someone would come with murderous intent.

It wasn't Jiang He, but Pei Ci.

She knew roughly about this person. Having possessed Hua Lanzheng's body, she naturally had her memories as well. Her spiritual root was indeed stolen from him, but that was done by Hua Lanzheng and Ye Qingqian, not by her.

Pei Ci did not allow Ying Fengyi to approach the snowdrift.

While infiltrating the secret realm, he was constantly searching for Ying Fengyi's whereabouts.

Since that person is dead, then the cultivator who inherits her body shall take over.

Pei Ci held up his sword.

He looked at Ying Fengyi; all he needed was a trigger to kill her.

Ying Fengyi originally intended to take advantage of the chaos to lure people away and then wait for Jiang He to appear before killing her.

But now, everyone is watching her every move.

Ying Fengyi was unwilling to accept this, so he had no choice but to leave.

Pei Ci sheathed his sword and left, following the direction he was heading until he arrived at a frozen river.

On the river, a soul is floating, unable to leave.

Zhong Liyu trembled.

After my soul left my body, I was trapped in this godforsaken place. It was freezing cold, and because it was so remote, nobody ever came here.

Even if someone is there, they cannot see his soul.

If this continues, it's entirely possible that their soul will be scattered.

Thinking of this, Zhong Liyu shuddered.

The exit of the secret realm has also opened, and Zhong Liyu guesses that Jiang He has found a way to break the deadlock.

Thinking this, he couldn't help but squat down on the icy river.

His figure became transparent, as if it would vanish at the slightest touch.

Pei Ci, dressed in black, looked at the people on the frozen river, his hands condensing spiritual energy.

This place is protected by a barrier; it's either a hidden entity or another dual S-rank monster.

He replaced his spirit sword with a staff.

Several beams of light passed by in a blur.

Looking at the brightly lit environment, Zhong Liyu's mind was a little sluggish. When he opened his eyes again, a rope formed of light spiritual energy was pulling him towards the river.

"Light Spirit Root?"

The demonic energy of the monsters was too strong, and the Light Spirit Root could almost suppress all dark forces.

Pei Ci led Zhong Liyu out of the barrier little by little.

When the others arrived, Zhong Liyu realized that the one who had saved him was Bei Mingyun from the Divine Sect.

No, it should be Pei Ci.

Pei Ci breathed a sigh of relief after bringing Zhong Liyu away from the icy river. He immediately released Cuihua from his spatial storage:

"Your soul is fragile right now, so you should focus on nurturing it. Your spiritual artifact is very suitable as a vessel for it."

"Pei Ci, you are such a good person!"

Zhong Liyu never expected that the cultivator, who usually spoke coldly and rarely interacted with him, would save him like this.

He had just clearly seen that Pei Ci had used up almost all of his spiritual energy to pull the person back.

"It's okay, I owe her a lot."

Zhongli Yu didn't understand Pei Ci's next sentence, and then he was immersed in the joy of seeing Cuihua:

"Cuihua, what brings you here too?"

Upon seeing Zhong Liyu, Cuihua immediately burst into tears.

"Look at yourself now! Serves you right for showing off!"

As Cuihua spoke, it quickly made way for them:

"Come in first, lest someone else die."

"Alright, but I've taken over your place, so where are you going?"

"Don't worry about me, I'll just stay in the space."

Pei Ci nodded, let Cuihua enter his space, and then left with the erhu carrying Zhong Liyu.

"Damn, buddy, you're not here to do charity, are you?"

Zhong Liyu chattered away on Pei Ci's back, while Pei Ci, who was on his way, remained silent until they left the secret realm, at which point he bent down from his upright posture.

Pei Ci coughed up a mouthful of blood as soon as he landed. He had just used too much spiritual energy, and his spiritual root was sore from the lack of energy.

Zhong Liyu looked at the person clutching their lower abdomen and couldn't help but worry.

He knew it wasn't that simple, considering he'd been trapped in the glacier for so long.

"Wait a minute, I'll have Cuihua help me out."

The erhu on Pei Ci's back gradually produced out-of-tune sounds. At first, it was a bit unfamiliar, but as Zhong Liyu gradually got used to the erhu, it became clear.

A gentle melody is generated.

Sound editing can add debuffs, and naturally it can also add buffs.

As the melodious erhu music played, Pei Ci's wounds on his spiritual veins healed somewhat, and he thanked them in a hoarse voice.

"No need to thank me, you saved me first."

"By the way, I saw the exit of the secret realm opened. Does that mean the invasion of the secret realm has been stopped?"

"Yes, she pulled down the flag."

"Haha, I knew it. Now look at them."

"There was an avalanche, and she was buried underneath."

He knew Jiang He was not dead; her aura was very special, it could be found under the snowdrifts.

Since I didn't see anyone, they probably entered some space or a new secret realm.

Zhong Liyu was so easily startled; when did the avalanche happen and bury Jiang He?

"Don't worry, she's fine. I'll take you to see her when she comes out."

"It's alright as long as nothing's wrong."

The Light Spirit Root grows slowly. In the past few days, in the secret realm, Pei Ci's cultivation has gradually recovered to its peak, and then successfully advanced to the early stage of Tribulation Transcending. In the past few days, he has killed a lot of demons, and his cultivation has risen again.

If it had happened a few days ago, given his cultivation level, he might not have been able to save Zhong Liyu, and he would likely have ended up in danger himself.

Pei Ci left the secret realm and went straight to the Xiaoyao Sect.
