After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

but--

Teachers can make bold speculations.

That must be related to the fact that Ming Zhongqing's cultivation level has increased dramatically, but his physical constitution has remained completely unchanged, and has even regressed.

Accompanied by a heavy feather strike from the Yangyan Beast, which resembled a three-legged golden crow.

The white tiger at the Nascent Soul stage collapsed completely.

Judging from the extent of the damage to the surrounding mountains and forests, Shi Yan could tell that Ming Zhongqing must have been fighting it for a long time.

This is one of the reasons why Shi Yan was unwilling to fight that ferocious beast before.

As a ferocious white tiger with the BOSS panel activated, it is simply too tough and resilient.

Aside from being unskilled in magic, it has almost no flaws.

It's also very agile.

This was too dangerous for Ming Zhongqing.

Her body was too weak.

Being photographed like that could very well result in someone dying on the spot.

Even if the Yangyan Beast manages to entangle the white tiger, there is still the risk that other white tigers will come from outside the enclosure.

Even after the Yangyan Beast was dispelled, the flames in the outer ring did not dissipate.

Ming Zhongqing simply threw the charred white tiger into his storage ring.

A little rich woman is a little rich woman.

Even the storage ring has such a large space.

Suddenly, Ming Zhongqing turned her back to Shi Yan, and Shi Yan could see her raise her head.

The surrounding flames flickered slightly.

"If you feel like coughing, then cough." Shi Yan took out a handkerchief from his pocket.

He handed it to Ming Zhongqing like that.

Ming Zhongqing simply said in a low voice, "Thank you."

She led Shi Yan toward the cold pool.

Teacher Yan finally put the little girl down.

Then... Shi Yan understood why Ming Zhongqing had to fight the white tiger.

A woman from the Taiyi Sect sat cross-legged by the cold pool, healing her wounds.

The cloak has been removed.

The woman's chest was almost torn apart.

A slanted claw mark almost pierced through her.

Her face was deathly pale.

The woman's cultivation level was only at the Spirit Realm, so such injuries were still too severe for her.

Hearing footsteps, she hurriedly tried to pull her robes up again.

But the movement of pulling up his robe stopped abruptly when he saw Shi Yan's pretty face.

Shi Yan and Ming Zhongqing turned to the side simultaneously in perfect unison.

The two people were facing each other directly.

Shi Yan and Ming Zhongqing exchanged a glance, then turned around again, their backs to each other.

The woman then slowly lifted her robe.

Shi Yan and Ming Zhongqing looked at the woman again.

"You are..." Shi Yan recalled the woman.

She vaguely remembered the woman in front of her; she was one of Chunlu Ren's two iron guards.

"water..."

"Shuiyun Shen." Her injuries were severe; even a forced smile caused her eyes to twitch, revealing the intense pain she was in.

Even so, she still bowed respectfully to Shi Yan.

Shi Yan quickly stepped forward and supported Shui Yunshen's shoulder.

How should I put it... it's very smooth.

The air suddenly became somewhat silent.

Outside, the fire rings drawn by Yang Yan crackled and popped as Ming Zhongqing tended to Shui Yunshen's wounds while explaining things to Shi Yan.

Shui Yun was injured while saving her.

Upon entering this space, Ming Zhongqing and Shui Yunshen were thrown into the same area.

At that moment... the white tiger suddenly pounced.

Shui Yunshen used her own body to block the white tiger's claw attack.

Then, despite his severe injuries, he forcibly held off the white tiger's attack, thus giving Ming Zhongqing a chance to break through.

This breakthrough was very timely.

But... Ming Zhongqing mentioned the breakthrough in a very casual way, even turning his head away and avoiding looking at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan knew there must be something wrong with it.

However, Shi Yan did not say much in front of Shui Yunshen.

Once Ming Zhongqing's problem is resolved after they leave the Loulan Tomb, she will naturally address it.

Until then, it's best to help the girl maintain her image.

Master Yan expressed his gratitude to Shuiyun.

But... Shui Yunshen could only manage a forced smile, "That's what we, as Iron Guards, should do."

Shi Yan simply looked at the woman.

The cultivators within the Taiyi Sect are divided into two types: Iron Guards and Sorcerers.

Some of the Iron Guards are trainee sorcerers who will eventually become full-fledged sorcerers.

And some... regard protecting others as their duty and uphold their ironclad guard duties to the very end.

certainly--

There are also people like Qi Yin, and Qi Yin's two younger sisters.

Their duty is to protect the Donghuang clan, and they have been trained and cultivated as Iron Guards from the very beginning.

However, the Sun Sect is not a conservative, arrogant, or unreasonable place.

If one has the right aptitude, one can cultivate diligently.

Even the Qi clan can cultivate as sorcerers.

Shui Yunshen has already contacted Donghuang Jin.

Shi Yan knew that the Taiyi Sect had a special, more concealed method of communication, similar to a jade slip for transmitting sound.

They can communicate with each other within a certain distance.

It is believed that it will not be long before Donghuang Jin can gather the people from Taiyi Sect who have come here, and then move towards the Cold Pool where Shi Yan and the others are.

Suddenly... Shui Yunshen's face turned extremely ugly.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yan noticed the woman's suddenly pale face.

"We have news from Lord Jin..."

"Ok?"

"Miss Qiyin has sent word that Lord Donghuang Li has also entered the Tomb of Loulan."

Shi Yan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

That troublemaker...she's really not afraid of death.

Shi Yan was not surprised at all that Donghuang Li was able to escape from the camp.

But... she just crawled out of a near-death experience.

How did I end up jumping into another fire pit?

"besides..."

"Anything else?" Shi Yan looked at Shui Yun.

"Miss Qiyin said...they have been subdued by the demoness, and she told Miss Shiyan...to be extra careful." Shuiyun barely managed to lift her head as she spoke. "She said..."

"That vixen's target is Miss Shi Yan."

"Write about someone you heard about—" Shi Yan said the name almost through gritted teeth.

at the same time--

Another cold pool.

Wenren Ershu suddenly moved closer to Qiyin and grasped the girl's trembling fingers hidden in her sleeve.

"Okay~~~"

"That's enough."

"Ugh..." Her fingers were mercilessly gripped tightly, causing excruciating pain. Qi Yin's knees collided, and her already weak body almost collapsed on the spot.

The girl's forehead was covered in cold sweat, but she still stared intently at Wenren Ershu.
