Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 121

The two sped along and finally found the teleportation array they had come from.

The teleportation array emitted a faint light, and a mysterious aura permeated the surroundings.

Without the slightest hesitation, they stepped inside.

Instantly, the teleportation array shone brightly, and after a dazzling flash, the two disappeared from their spot.

The next moment, when they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a dark and terrifying forest.

The trees here are tall and twisted, their branches and leaves intertwined to form a dense canopy that allows almost no sunlight to penetrate.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and dead branches, and strange creatures could be seen wandering in the shadows from time to time.

"Little sister, this isn't the teleportation array I went into!"

“That’s true. Setting up a teleportation array here is far too unsafe. To prevent those evil demons from invading our spirit realm through it, I think it’s best to destroy it.” Gu Shihan looked around and said with a serious expression.

“Okay, take care of what you have to do, and destroy that teleportation array too, we can’t leave any hidden dangers!” Shi Qinghan nodded.

Gu Shihan frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, she nodded and said, "Hmm, Big Brother is right! Let's destroy them all then!"

After obtaining Gu Shihan's consent, Shi Qinghan immediately drew the sword from his back and thrust it fiercely towards the teleportation array with all his might.

Several sharp sword energies shot out from the sword tips, accurately striking the core of the teleportation array.

With a few crisp sounds, the teleportation array began to flash continuously, but it was not destroyed immediately.

Seeing this, Shi Qinghan unleashed several more sword strikes, each one imbued with his powerful skill.

Finally, after his relentless attacks, a loud "crack" was heard, and the entire teleportation array shattered, turning into countless fragments scattered all over the ground.

"Haha, now those demons will never be able to use this teleportation array to enter the Spirit Realm again!" Shi Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face.

"Big brother, now that the teleportation array has been destroyed, let's quickly find a safe place to wake up the people we rescued earlier, and then let them go home and reunite with their families," Gu Shihan said, turning to Shi Qinghan.

“Alright! I see a valley over there with a pretty good environment, which would be suitable for settling these people. Let’s go there!” Shi Qinghan pointed to a valley not far from them and said.

The two walked quickly toward the valley, and soon they arrived at the valley entrance.

Gu Shihan took out an array plate from his bosom, activated it, and a beam of light flashed, quickly enveloping the entire valley.

After completing all the preparations, Gu Shihhan led everyone out of the Qiankun Room in several groups. Due to the large number of people, the whole process probably took quite a while.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Shihan summoned twenty unconscious cultivators to the grass.

Shi Qinghan said with a serious expression, "Little sister, in my opinion, it's best to have Xingbai examine these people carefully to make sure there's nothing abnormal about them before we release them. After all, I really don't want any more troublesome Gu people or anything like that!" "Yes, big brother is very thoughtful and meticulous!" Gu Shihan nodded and waved her hand to summon Xingbai from her space.

"Hanhan, is something the matter?"

"Xingbai, come and help me. Take a good look at these twenty people lying on the ground. See if there's anything unusual about them, especially whether they have any Gu worms hidden inside their bodies?"

Xingbai blinked his bright eyes, nodded obediently, and then walked towards the crowd on the ground with his chubby little legs.

He carefully examined each item one by one, occasionally touching and feeling them with his little hands.

After a while, Xingbai finally finished all the inspection work.

He turned around, skipped back to Gu Shihan's side, and reported in a childish voice, "Hanhan, apart from some blood deficiency, these people are fine. I estimate they will wake up in about fifteen minutes."

"Okay, that's good!" Gu Shihan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Xingbai's report.

She and Shi Qinghan acted quickly, clearing out some storage bags and putting some basic pills and a full ten thousand spirit stones into each bag.

These items can be considered as travel expenses for these people, since their storage magic treasures have been confiscated by the despicable demonic cultivators, and even the divine imprints on them have been erased.

"Little sister, should we give them a few of those magical artifacts too? We don't need them anyway, and exchanging them for spirit stones is less effective than giving them to those who need them. What do you think is the best course of action?"

Gu Shihan tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying, "Okay! We don't know what kind of magic weapons they need. How about this, we can select some that are of decent quality first, and then ask them what kind of magic weapons they each need. We can let them choose one set each for attack and defense."

"Sure! Girl! You organize the magical artifacts. These people have lost a lot of blood, I'll give them a blood-replenishing pill. Let's finish this good deed; since we've saved them, we can't let them die so easily!"

The two divided the work, and the twenty cultivators slowly woke up, each one cautiously looking around.

"It's good that you're awake. You can leave now!" Shi Qinghan said calmly.

"You? You're the ones who saved us?!" a female cultivator asked.

Shi Qinghan glanced at her coldly and said expressionlessly, "That's right! Who else did you think it would be? Alright, stop standing there. See all the magical artifacts displayed here? Each person can choose one offensive and one defensive artifact. There are also storage bags over there; each person can take one as well. Then hurry up and leave this Soul-Devouring Forest. This place is fraught with danger; the longer you stay, the more dangerous it becomes."

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and bowed deeply to Shi Qinghan and Gu Shihan to express their gratitude.

Despite a lingering uncertainty, he followed his instructions, took what he needed, and vanished into the woods in the blink of an eye.

Watching the hurried figures of those leaving, someone couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "Hanhan, they just left like that? Without even saying a word."

Gu Shihan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and asked in return, "Well, are you just leaving like this? What, is there a problem?"

Shi Qinghan sighed and said helplessly, "Hehe, I feel like they left in too much of a hurry, as if they were afraid that we would do something to them."
