I am a fairy in Journey to the West

When Tu Lingbai's team arrived at Qifeng Mountain, they could no longer see 'Qifeng Mountain' because the entire mountain range had been destroyed.

"Is this the place we need to support?" Tsuchiya asked doubtfully.

“Without a doubt.” Tu Qianqian pointed to the battlefield ahead, where flames soared, wind and thunder surged, and figures crisscrossed, and said, “If it’s fought like this, then it’s no wonder.”

Tu Lingbai turned around and looked at everyone, saying, "Don't talk, go and provide support immediately. Fellow Daoist Baochai, you can put on your Xuan Tu Armor now."

Xue Baochai nodded, then took out the Xuan Tu Armor and put it directly over her fairy robe.

After getting dressed, Tu Lingbai immediately led her team to charge forward. When they reached the edge of the battlefield, waves of surging wind and thunder power crashed down upon them, and the Xuan Tu defense on everyone's bodies was immediately activated.

Despite this, they found every step forward extremely difficult, as the power of wind and thunder was completely different from the wind and thunder cultivators they usually encountered.

"Be careful, everyone." Tu Lingbai said seriously, "This is going to be a tough battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Mo exclaimed and stepped aside. Everyone immediately dispersed, and then a figure was seen falling directly from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several times before coming to a stop.

The crowd immediately surrounded him, and Tu Lingbai turned the person over. Everyone gasped at the same time.

The man was charred black all over, his skin cracked like parched earth, with flesh turned inside out, like a piece of pork that had been roasted red-hot.

Tu Lingbai looked closely for a long time before he could barely recognize the person in front of him as Tu Yuanzhong, the captain of another team.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanzhong." Tu Lingbai hurriedly took out a healing pill from his sleeve and put it into Tu Yuanzhong's mouth. After about ten breaths, Tu Yuanzhong's breathing recovered slightly.

But he had only recovered a little. Tu Lingbai's heart sank. He had suffered a fatal injury, and the healing pills could only keep him alive.

“Lingbai, be careful, he’s a tough nut to crack,” Tu Yuanzhong said with difficulty, opening his mouth.

Tu Lingbai asked, "How many people are on the other side? Which faction, Wind or Thunder, are they from?"

Tu Yuanzhong coughed up a mouthful of scalding blood and said breathlessly, "Only one person should be careful." After saying this, Tu Yuanzhong breathed his last and died instantly.

Tu Yuanzhong's soul couldn't be taken away in time; it was directly obliterated by the power of heaven and earth the moment he died.

It's important to understand that this isn't the manifestation of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, but rather the manifestation of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao.

Xue Baochai was shocked by this scene once again. It was the first time she had ever seen a person from the Five Elements Heavenly Dao die before her eyes, and then have their soul erased by the power of heaven and earth.

She simply couldn't understand why the people of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao would rather risk their lives to attack other Heavenly Daos in the mortal world; she only felt fear.

Recalling the destruction of the previous eight minor worlds, she dared not imagine what a terrifying scene it would be if the people of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao were to invade the Great World of Jambudvipa.

You want to live in peace? But they don't even consider you one of their own. They're willing to risk their lives to wipe you out!
You want to remain neutral? Don't the people of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Path want to be? That girl and that boy from that day, they were younger than you, didn't they want to keep to themselves and not interfere with each other?

Just as Xue Baochai's thoughts were churning, Tu Yuanzhong's words greatly surprised Tu Lingbai and the others.

Tu Qianqian said, "Only one person? Could it be a True Monarch level figure?"

The Dao Ancestor, Dao Lord, and True Lord are all positions attained under the Great Dao, and they are the same regardless of which Heavenly Dao manifests in the world.

Looking at the dead Tu Yuanzhong, Tu Lingbai immediately stood up with a serious expression and said, "Fellow Daoists, this may be an extremely dangerous battle. Everyone must do their best."

Everyone stood up and looked at Tu Lingbai, who drew his weapon and raised it high, saying, "For the Five Elements Heavenly Dao!"

The crowd followed closely behind, shouting, "For the Five Elements Heavenly Dao!"

Xue Baochai knew this was a pre-battle ceremony, so she shouted along, and then Tu Lingbai took the lead and charged into the center of the battlefield.

Xue Baochai followed at the very back, because she had made up her mind to find an opportunity to run away.

She now understood Erlang Shen's words: 'For the survival of Pangu's Heavenly Dao, we have no other choice.'

After personally experiencing the Five Elements Heavenly Dao's attack on the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, Xue Baochai understood that it wasn't that the Pangu Heavenly Dao had no choice, but rather that the enemy wouldn't give you a choice.

She is an extremely intelligent person. If the struggle between the heavens were not so cruel, she could live well anywhere.

But her experience over the past four months has made her realize how naive such a thought is. Even a great immortal cannot remain unaffected, so how can a mere immortal like you expect to be able to stay out of trouble?
Her interests lie with the Pangu Heavenly Dao, and only the Pangu Heavenly Dao can guarantee her interests.

So after figuring all this out, Xue Baochai stopped dwelling on it and immediately changed her mind, determined to complete the task that Erlang Shen had given her.

Therefore, she looked for another opportunity, a chance to escape.

However, before that, she had to save her own life. The battlefield in front of her looked extremely dangerous, especially since the opponent was only one person, which could only mean that this person's cultivation was extremely powerful.

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai immediately began rummaging through her mustard seed bag. Before she came, Erlang Shen had given her a mustard seed bag containing dozens of magical treasures that she could use.

Finally, she found a magical artifact, a tortoise shell-like artifact. After she put it into her spiritual platform and refined it, she learned that the artifact was called the 'Black Tortoise Shield', a defensive artifact.

Xue Baochai immediately summoned the treasure, and a blue light shone from her body. Then the Xuanwu Shield materialized and became transparent, attaching itself to her body.

After doing all this, Xue Baochai felt reassured and immediately followed Tu Lingbai and the others.

But when they arrived at the center of the battlefield, Xue Baochai was still taken aback; she had underestimated the ferocity of the battle.

Within a radius of 500 feet in the center of the battlefield, corpses were piled up, some with charred skin and rotten flesh, others with severed limbs. Layer upon layer of corpses were piled up like layers of fallen leaves, and the blood on the ground gathered into a red river, thick and emitting a pungent, fishy smell.

As the river of blood flowed, white foam and steam rose from its surface, and from time to time, a head or severed limb would emerge from it.

Even though Xue Baochai thought she had experienced enough, she still couldn't help but gag when she saw this scene.

But the current situation left no room for thought, and Tu Lingbai and the others joined the battle as soon as they arrived.

Xue Baochai looked up and saw a young man in a wind and thunder immortal robe fighting on the wind in the center of the battlefield. He was surrounded by countless cultivators of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, who were constantly charging towards him.

But the man didn't even flinch in the face of the endless stream of enemies. He held a whirlwind in his left hand and lightning in his right, moving back and forth among the countless Five Elements Heavenly Dao cultivators. With each move, several Five Elements Heavenly Dao cultivators would die.

The man quickly rushed to Xue Baochai's side. She only felt a flash of lightning before her eyes, and then her body crashed heavily to the ground.

As a burst of blood-red light appeared, when Xue Baochai could see clearly what was happening before her, she found herself in the middle of a pile of corpses on the battlefield, surrounded by bodies and blood.

She immediately checked her body and found that 60% of the Xuan Tu Armor's defense had been broken. If she were still wearing the Xuan Tu Robe, her defense would probably have been broken by now.

Just as Xue Baochai had this thought, she suddenly heard a loud 'bang' from ahead, followed by a burst of blood.

Xue Baochai hurriedly looked over and saw a body lying there, its clothes torn and its body charred black. Its eyes were burned red by the lightning, and its body was covered with bloody cracks.

Xue Baochai suddenly realized it was Tu Qianqian. The image of the girl who always talked about her parents and was always laughing and joking immediately came to mind.

Xue Baochai suddenly felt something stuck in her throat, and the clear, melodious voice of Tu Qianqian, like that of a nightingale, floated into her ears: "Sister Baochai, your clothes are so beautiful. I will save up enough purple coins to buy a set for myself."

"Sister Baochai, you are so beautiful."

"Sister Baochai".

Tears blurred Xue Baochai's vision. The four months they spent together hadn't been without feelings. Although she had repented and wanted to find an opportunity to leave the team to complete her mission, it didn't mean she had no feelings for the team that had taken her in first.

Xue Baochai crawled over the corpses and came to Tu Qianqian. She picked her up and quickly took out a 'Precious Spirit Elixir' from her sleeve and put it into Tu Qianqian's mouth.

However, after waiting for ten breaths, Tu Qianqian still did not move. She was dead, and even her soul had been erased by the power of heaven and earth and completely dissipated.

Looking at those eyes, burned red by lightning, no longer as lively and playful as before, Xue Baochai felt a sharp pain in her heart.

At this moment, not only Tu Qianqian's voice echoed in her ears, but also the voice of that boy from the Flowing Cloud Realm that day.

"Why? Why do we fight each other? Why do we kill each other? Why?"

Xue Baochai shook her head, then suddenly let out a long howl: "Why?!"

But her long howl was so faint on the battlefield that no one noticed her or paid any attention to her.

Only the young cultivator from the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao glanced at her, but he quickly became engrossed in his battle with the cultivator from the Five Elements Heavenly Dao.

After a cathartic shout, Xue Baochai raised her head again. The fighting continued, and people were dying every moment.

The battlefield before them would not cease because of her shout, nor would the general trend of the struggle for the Heavenly Way change because of her will alone.

Xue Baochai calmed down, put down Tu Qianqian's body, and then leaped into the sky again.

"That's great, you're alright." A voice came from behind. Xue Baochai turned around and saw Tu Mo, the young man who wanted to stay with everyone.

Xue Baochai said, "Qianqian is dead."

Tu Mo's gaze and tone were calm. "I saw it, Sister Baochai. Take care."

After saying this, Tu Mo raised his weapon high and shouted, "For the Five Elements Heavenly Dao!", then charged towards the enemy's location once again.

Then, the young cultivator spun the wind whirl in his hand, and instantly more than a hundred wind blades came flying through the air. Tu Mo was unable to dodge them and, along with four or five other cultivators, was torn apart by the wind blades, turning into more than a dozen pieces of flesh that fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Xue Baochai immediately grabbed her Flying Yuan Golden Sword and charged forward. Since she had already decided to leave, she might as well repay the kindness she had shown.

Tu Lingbai and the others have taken good care of her ever since they accepted her. Now it's time to repay their kindness. It's not gentlemanly to leave a grudge unavenged, but it's equally not gentlemanly to leave a favor unrewarded.

A bolt of divine lightning struck down from above Tu Yuzhi's head. Tu Yuzhi's face turned pale and he had no time to dodge. Just then, a figure flew above him and blocked the bolt of lightning.

With a loud 'boom,' Xue Baochai's Xuan Tu Armor shattered completely, but at least it blocked the attack of the divine lightning.

“Fellow Daoist Baochai?” Tu Yuzhi was quite surprised, then smiled and said, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist Baochai.”

Xue Baochai nodded and said to Tu Yuzhi, "Be extra careful."

Tu Yuzhi took out a pill, put it in his mouth, and nodded in response, "Fellow Daoist Baochai, you should also be careful."

The young cultivator not far away looked surprised and glanced at Xue Baochai while dealing with the attack in front of him.

This woman actually caught his "Howling Thunder and Wind" twice in a row; she was indeed extraordinary.

Thinking of this, the young cultivator immediately rode the wind and thunder, dodging the attack from Tu Lingbai and heading straight for Xue Baochai and Tu Yuzhi.

"Watch out!" Tu Lingbai shouted.

Xue Baochai and Tu Yu instantly became alert. Xue Baochai took the lead and charged forward with the Flying Yuan Golden Sword. However, the young cultivator simply spun the wind in his hand, and the Flying Yuan Golden Sword was thrown off balance by a gust of wind. Then, a bolt of lightning struck down, and the Flying Yuan Golden Sword was shattered into pieces.

Upon seeing this, Tu Yuzhi immediately wielded his Wan Jun Blade and slashed forward, but the young cultivator simply flashed and appeared behind Tu Yuzhi.

As the young cultivator unleashed his divine thunder, the earth and jade were instantly engulfed in a burst of lightning.

As Xue Baochai watched Tu Yuzhi's charred corpse fall, she immediately took out a magical flying ribbon from her sleeve, named the Five-Colored Reverse Wind Ribbon.

As Xue Baochai unleashed the 'Five-Colored Reverse Wind Ribbon,' the five-colored ribbon instantly wrapped around the young cultivator.

The young cultivator's gaze sharpened, and he immediately spun the wind vortex in his hand, releasing wind blades.

However, the wind blades that struck the Five-Colored Reverse Wind Silk were deflected directly. The young cultivator released various kinds of wind energy, but still could not stop the Five-Colored Reverse Wind Silk.

In the blink of an eye, the five-colored reverse wind ribbon wrapped around the young cultivator's hands and feet, and the immortal light on his body dimmed instantly.

Seeing this, Tu Lingbai was greatly excited and immediately shouted, "Fellow Daoists, seize this opportunity to kill him!"

As a result, cultivators from the Five Elements Heavenly Path attacked in unison, unleashing various earth-based spells and weapons upon the young cultivator.

The young cultivator instantly coughed up blood and his body was pierced by more than a dozen weapons.

But at that moment, the young cultivator shouted, and then streaks of lightning began to erupt on every inch of his skin, which then transformed into bursts of lightning fire.

In an instant, the young cultivator's entire body was covered by lightning and fire, and the five-colored reverse wind ribbon was burned to ashes under the lightning and fire.

The young cultivator instantly broke free, unleashing a burst of power that killed eight Five Elements Heavenly Dao cultivators. Then, carrying more than a dozen weapons piercing his body, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew towards the northwest of the Upper Rock Realm.

Upon seeing this, all the Five Elements Heavenly Dao cultivators present shouted, "Don't let him get away!"

Tu Lingbai also said, "We must not let such a formidable enemy go, otherwise he will surely become a great threat in the future."

That's how cultivators are; if you can't guarantee you'll kill them on the spot, they might return in full force soon, making them even harder to deal with.

Therefore, all the Five Elements Heavenly Dao cultivators present were neither afraid nor hesitant, and immediately chased after the young cultivator who had fled.

Tu Lingbai and the others also chased after them, and at this moment no one paid any attention to Xue Baochai.

Looking at the bloody battlefield that had instantly become cold and silent, and then at the departing figures of Tu Lingbai and the others, Xue Baochai knew that the time had come.

Without hesitation, she flew off in the opposite direction from the group chasing the young cultivator.

After she had traveled at least five thousand miles from the battlefield, she rode a cloud directly towards the outer reaches of the Upper Rock Realm. Her first task was to retrieve the 'Mysterious Jade Statue' from its original location in the Chongyuan Realm. (End of Chapter)
