Chapter 171 Tranquil Lotus
Gu Shihan struggled to move her soul toward the Tranquil Lotus. As soon as she got close, the Tranquil Lotus emitted a soft light that enveloped her soul. As if sensing her predicament, the soft light began to spread.

Gu Shihan formed hand seals, guiding the gentle light of the Youlian power slowly into her body's spiritual meridians and flesh.

The black mist resisted fiercely, rampaging through Gu Shihan's body and causing her immense pain.

Gu Shihan's willpower is exceptionally strong, and her tolerance for pain is unparalleled; it is a habit and forbearance etched deep in her heart.

With unwavering resolve, she was enveloped in the soft light of the lotus, and the black mist was gradually forced back.

Gu Shihan was still somewhat uneasy. To ensure everything went smoothly, she intensified her efforts to mobilize the Red Lotus Karmic Fire within her body, allowing it to flow slowly along her meridians and carefully inspect it twice.

Only after confirming there were no hidden dangers did she take out the birth fluid and swallow a drop.

As the drop of life-giving liquid entered his body, a cool and comfortable feeling instantly spread throughout his body, as if every cell had been nourished and repaired. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.

Gu Shihan didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly opened the skylight in the space to look outside.

The monstrous beasts that had been so menacing and aggressive were now slowly retreating. A quarter of an hour later, they had all left, leaving behind only their trampled corpses.

Gu Shihan exhaled a breath of stale air, exited the space, and after a few fireball spells, everything was clean and tidy.

Mo Yu, who had regained consciousness, was released from the Qiankun Room.

Mo Yu, who had just regained consciousness, was still somewhat bewildered, but when he saw Gu Shihan, who was safe and sound, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down a little.

The anxiety and worry in his eyes had not completely disappeared. He rushed to Gu Shihan in three steps and opened his arms to hug her tightly.

"You scared me to death!" Mo Yu's voice trembled slightly, filled with endless concern and lingering fear.

Gu Shihan felt the warmth and concern in Mo Yu's embrace. She smiled gently, reached out and patted his back softly, saying, "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm really alright. All the danger has passed. Now we need to hurry up and continue hunting those demonized beasts."

We must completely eradicate them and rescue those unfortunate cultivators who have been corrupted by demonic forces. If we allow these corrupted cultivators to leave the Heavenly Water Secret Realm, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Mo Yu slowly released the embrace, looking at Gu Shihan with a firm gaze, "Junior sister is right, let's set off now."

The two walked side by side in the direction where the demonized beast might appear.

They hadn't gone far when they encountered a group of low-level demonized beasts. Gu Shihan was the first to draw her sword and charge forward, with Mo Yu following closely behind.

They worked in perfect harmony, their swordplay fierce, demonic blood splattering everywhere. But as the battle raged on, Gu Shihan discovered that these demonic beasts seemed endless.

Suddenly, a high-level demonic beast hidden in the shadows launched a sneak attack.

Just as the blow was about to hit Gu Shihan, Mo Yu stepped in front of her without hesitation and took the hit himself.

Gu Shihan was shocked and furiously used her ultimate move to kill the high-level demon beast.

"Senior brother, why are you so foolish?" Gu Shihan asked, her voice trembling with tears.

Mo Yu smiled weakly, "Because protecting you is more important than my own life. You are my junior sister, and I must protect you!"

Gu Shihan was deeply moved, and she quickly took out healing pills to feed Mo Yu. At this moment, the demonic beasts around them seemed to sense the danger and temporarily retreated, and the two of them also knew that this hunting journey was still very long.

“Senior brother, your injuries haven’t fully healed yet, so you can’t use your spiritual power anymore. How about this, you go back to your Qiankun room to heal, and I’ll take Yutong and the others to continue onward. If we can find our eldest brother, that would be great, and then our strength will be greater.”

Mo Yu said firmly, "No, I'm your senior brother. I can't let you go into danger alone. Master asked me to take care of you!"

"Senior brother, you have to trust my strength. Also, you're injured, and I'll worry if you encounter a demonized beast. Wouldn't that put me in even more danger? None of us can get hurt; we must get out safely!" Gu Shihan said earnestly, looking into Mo Yu's eyes.

Mo Yu knew that he was seriously injured and that if he stayed outside, he would not be of much help to the demonized beasts. On the contrary, he would be a burden.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu took out the Qiankun House and handed it to Gu Shihan, saying, "I'll listen to my junior sister!"

Mo Yu went into the Qiankun House to heal her injuries, while Gu Shihan and Yu Tong continued on their way. They hadn't gone ten miles when they heard the sounds of fighting in the distance.

"Sister, it's not a demon beast, it's cultivators fighting. Should we go and take a look?" Yu Tong said, pointing to the right front.

Gu Shihan scanned the area with her divine sense and found that there were more than twenty people fighting about two miles away from them. Among them were seven or eight people in black robes, with blood-red spider lilies embroidered on their robes. Could they be evil cultivators again?

Gu Shihan frowned and whispered to Yu Tong, "Be careful, this could be troublesome."

The two quietly approached the fighting. They saw that the black-robed evil cultivators were using ruthless techniques, their spells exuding a sinister aura. Although the other side had slightly more people, they were gradually losing ground.

At this moment, a young cultivator who was being besieged saw Gu Shihan and his companion and shouted, "Fellow Daoists, please save us! They are evil cultivators, and many people have already lost their lives at their hands!"

Gu Shihan felt a chill in her heart. Since they were evil cultivators, they had to be killed. She drew her Seven Star Silk Sound Sword and charged forward. Yu Tong also used her magic to join the battle.

The evil cultivators seemed to have something to rely on. The leader sneered, took out a small black flag, and waved it. Immediately, thick black smoke rose up all around.

With everyone's view obstructed, Gu Shihan felt dizzy and knew something was wrong. She took the Qingling Pill, and her mind quickly cleared.

Within the black mist, seeing the cultivators falling one by one, Gu Shihan and Yu Tong quickly carried them into the Qiankun House.

"Yu Tong, let's finish this quickly!" Gu Shihan sheathed her sword, formed hand seals, and under the cover of the black mist, the two of them blocked the black-robed man who was still watching the show from the front and back.

The crimson lotus fire and phoenix fire rose simultaneously, instantly surrounding the man in black robes.

The leader of the black-robed men was shocked to see this, never expecting the two girls to be so powerful.

"Do you know who we are? If you dare to touch us, you will surely die a horrible death!" the leader threatened viciously.

Gu Shihan scoffed, "I don't care who you are, evil cultivators deserve to be killed by everyone!"

Having said that, he changed his hand seals, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire rushed towards the black-robed men.

Yu Tong also manipulated the phoenix fire to attack from both sides. The leader of the black-robed men hurriedly waved the black flag in his hand to defend himself, but the fire was fierce and the other black-robed men were burned and screamed in agony.
