A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Romeo: The dog KP has been identified.

Xiao Huohuo: (Thinking awkwardly) From another perspective, since the dog KP restricts us from returning to the sect, it means that the way to salvation actually lies somewhere else, right?

KP: The path to salvation leads to many places... My suggestion is that you can go out of the ruins and take a look.

Xiao Huohuo: Walking slowly.

KP: So, following the path you came from, you finally left this ancient ruin and emerged into the canyon outside. The next moment, a cool breeze blew across your face, sweeping away your fatigue. Although you'd technically only been in the ruins for less than half a day, the long-lost blue sky and white clouds above, and the lush greenery on the ground, still gave you a feeling of rebirth.

Wei Beike: Oh! You guys finally came out!

KP: As soon as you walked out of the ruins, you heard a voice from the side. You turned around and found that the person who greeted you was Wei Beike, who had just arrived at the ruins and had met you once.

Xiao Huohuo: Oh, yeah, this Wei Beike seems to have a pretty high level of cultivation. He's also a judge at the swordsmithing competition, so he's well-connected and knowledgeable, so he should have quite a few resources. Since we're going back to the sect to buy elixirs, talismans, and magical instruments anyway, why not just get them from him? We can also consult him on other matters.

Han Buli: I just checked and he is at the peak of Qi Refining, and he specializes in weapon refining. His actual combat ability should not be very strong. I will let Lao Luo find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack with a confusing spell later. It won't be a big problem.

KP:?

Jeanne: (half annoyed) Stop it! Xiaosha's life or death is uncertain right now, and you're all doing all this nonsense. Aren't you afraid that when the KP rewinds, you'll get a boomerang back at me? Anyway, we have Spirit Stones, so we can just buy whatever we want later!

Han Buli: My spirit stone...

Joan of Arc: Stare—

Han Buli: ...never mind, just spend it. (Pinching nose)

Joan of Arc: That’s more like it.

Romeo: Alas, I can’t charm Wei Beike. (Regrettable)

KP: So, just as you were thinking about all kinds of plans, suddenly another figure walked out from the side corner of the ruins and then walked towards you quickly.

Han Buli: Where did this expert come from?

KP: You looked at the newcomer. She was a young cultivator wearing the robes of the Chengtian Sect. She wasn't very tall, but her stride was quite long. Her face was plain, her gray-black eyes shrouded in shadow, and she held the cold arrogance of a child from an aristocratic family. At that moment, she stared coldly at Han Buli, her expression so gloomy it could have squeezed water out of it.

Han Buli: ???

Xiao Huohuo: What the hell, Brother Sima?!

KP: (Dark Dice)

KP: Hehehe.

Han Buli:?

KP: Then, in the blink of an eye, Sima Wu with a gloomy face came to Han Buli, and then without saying a word, he raised his hand and slapped you!

Han Buli:???

Romeo: Quack! Brother Sima beat Old Han to his knees. He must have been holding back for a long time and wanted to give him a good beating!

Xiao Huohuo: Fast forward to the moment when my father never hit me.jpg.

Joan of Arc: Children, I really didn't hit him.

Han Buli: Get out of here!

KP: Han Buli will observe.

Han Buli: Observation, 32/50, success.

KP: So, Han Buli, you covered your stinging cheek and looked at Sima Wu in doubt. But you found that although her face was gloomy, the corners of her eyes were slightly red, and her expression was a little haggard, as if she had been running non-stop all the way without a break.

Sima Wu: Han Buli...where have you been!

KP: Sima Wu spoke, her voice trembling a little, as if she was angry, worried, and seemed to be mixed with some other emotions.

Han Buli: ...

Xiao Huohuo: I see. It must be that when Old Han went back in time, the blood slave curse lost its effect, which made Sima-ge furious. (laugh)

Romeo: It's the old woman who traveled a thousand miles to find her husband! What a chatterbox!

Joan of Arc: Tsk, why does this slap still taste like dog food? (Pinching nose)

KP: Seeing the strange looks from Xiao Huohuo and the others, Sima Wu also realized his own loss of composure. After clearing his throat, he pulled Han Buli aside and said seriously.

Sima Wu: Why did the induction of the Blood Slave Curse suddenly disappear, and I couldn’t find you in the ruins. Where did you go?

Han Buli: "Brother Sima, I'm being unfairly accused. I've been operating underground all this time. This is my first time back on the surface. Senior Wei can attest to that." As for the Blood Slave Curse failing to sense... perhaps there's something blocking perception within this ruin. After all, there's no spiritual energy at all, which is quite strange.

Xiao Huohuo: 6, to tell the truth, Old Han, you have figured out this trick.

Han Buli: Alas, long illness makes one a doctor.

Sima Wu: ...Is that so.

KP: Han Buli didn't look like he was lying, and he wasn't seriously injured, so Sima Wu felt relieved. Then, looking at Han Buli covering his face with a look of grievance, he frowned slightly.

Sima Wu: ...It hurts a lot?

Han Buli: It must hurt.

KP: Looking at the obvious palm print on Han Buli's face, Sima Wu's lips moved slightly, as if she was about to say something, and her right hand subconsciously raised, as if wanting to touch your wound. But she quickly realized that something was wrong, and abruptly moved her right hand behind her, and to hide her embarrassment, she snorted coldly.

Sima Wu: ...Humph! Since it hurts, remember this well. Never come to such a weird place again... Do you hear me?

Xiao Huohuo: Long time no see, Brother Sima is still so cute.

Jeanne: It’s really cute.

Han Buli: Byd didn't slap you in the face! (half annoyed)

Joan of Arc: You failed miserably before, and this is your punishment. (Pointing)

Xiao Huohuo: Indeed, compared to what Xiaosha has endured, your slap is nothing. (Pointing)

Romeo: I'm so jealous! I also want Sima to slap me hard, make my face swollen! And don't let go of my butt too!

Han Buli: ...

KP: So, while Han Buli and Sima Wu were whispering, Wei Beike also started chatting with Xiao Huohuo and the other three.

Wei Beike: Haha, have you guys discovered anything during this exploration?

Xiao Huohuo: Not really.

ROMEO: No pinch.

Joan of Arc: Indeed not.

KP: Seeing that you "found nothing", Wei Beike sighed and showed an expression of "as expected". Then he looked at Sima Wu who was not far away and sighed.

Wei Beike: I didn’t expect that there would be such a loyal and righteous person in the Sima family today.

Xiao Huohuo: Senior Wei, you know he is from the Sima family.

Wei Beike: Of course, the Sima family is one of the largest families in this area. I often have exchanges with them on weapon refining. From the magic weapons and spells he uses, I can tell at a glance that he is from the Sima family.

Joan of Arc: What about loyalty and righteousness?

KP: Upon hearing this, Wei Beike cleared his throat and lowered his voice.

Wei Beike: (whispering) Ahem, people in the Sima family have always been thin-skinned. I will tell you something, but you must not make it public.

Xiao Huohuo: I understand, I understand.

KP: Seeing that you were keeping your mouth shut, Wei Beike continued to speak in a low voice.

Wei Beike: (whispering) You entered the ruins at 3:00 AM today, and Sima arrived at 5:00 PM. Upon arriving, he became alarmed and searched for you for over three hours, non-stop. During that time, I even ran into Sima crying quietly, mumbling things like, "It's all my fault..." and "If he hadn't come, nothing would have happened to him..." Alas, hearing that really touched me.

Xiao Huohuo: I’m moved to tears.

Joan of Arc: I cried.

Romeo: Old Han, you really don’t blame me for the slap I received.

Han Buli: Emmm...wait a minute, Brother Sima has already arrived at noon?

Xiao Huohuo: This is the key point of the Bull Demon! (Half annoyed)

Han Buli: This is of course the key point. Think about it, Brother Sima must have realized something was wrong and rushed here after our first retrospection. We entered the ruins at the hour of Yin, which means that it took Brother Sima less than four hours to come here from Chengtian Sect!

Xiao Huohuo: Hmm?

Joan of Arc: Yes, how come Brother Sima is so fast?

Wei Beike: What's so strange about this? The Sima family has an heirloom flying magic weapon [Duntianshu]. This place is only a thousand miles away from Chengtian Sect, so we can definitely get there in four hours.

Han Buli: Okay, okay, now I understand!

Romeo: Um, so you were worried we wouldn't be able to get back to the clan in time, so you even arranged this express car for Sima? Haha, KP... You're so gentle!

KP: I'm sorry, but the [Duntianshu] is for one person only and can only carry Sima Wu. You can forget about returning to the sect.

Han Buli: Damn, that's totally useless! (half annoyed)

Jeanne: What the hell is KP trying to do by suddenly giving me this useless thing! (Pointing and gesturing)

KP: It's not useless. (Pinching nose)

Joan of Arc: No, no!

Xiao Huohuo: ...No, it’s really useful, I thought of it!

Joan of Arc:?

Xiao Huohuo: Although Brother Sima can't take us back, she can help us run errands! Let's write down what we need and what we need to do, and ask Brother Sima to go back to the clan to help us buy and handle it!

Joan of Arc: I’m a Sima purchasing agent.

Romeo: Genius!

Han Buli: Wait, let Sima run errands? Lao Xiao, are you serious?

Xiao Huohuo: Don’t we still have you? Here, it’s up to you, Han Buli, to speak well! (Patted on the shoulder)

Han Buli:???

Joan of Arc: Indeed, if I don’t do it, you better use all your strength!

Han Buli: Is this right?

Romeo: "This time, absolutely, absolutely don't come back!"

Han Buli: Damn!

……

Sima Wu: Well, since everything is fine, let's go back to the clan first. You must explain this matter to me clearly after we return!

KP: After confirming that Han Buli was not in any danger, Sima Wu, relieved, did not stay any longer. He called Han Buli and prepared to set off to return to Chengtian Sect.

Han Buli: ...

Sima Wu: What's wrong?

KP: After taking two steps, Sima Wu turned around and saw Han Buli still standing there. He was slightly stunned and then frowned.

Han Buli: Sorry... I can't leave yet.

Sima Wu: (frowns) What do you mean you can’t leave?

Han Buli: I still have things to complete in this relic, so I have to stay... Also, although it may be a bit abrupt to say this, could you please, Brother Sima, help me get some things back from Chengtian Sect?

Sima Wu: ...

Xiao Huohuo: I'm bound to get angry. (Pinching nose)

Joan of Arc: Indeed.

Romeo: Farewell, Old Han.

KP: As expected, after hearing Han Buli's request, Sima Wu's face instantly turned gloomy.

Sima Wu: Han Buli, is this how you talk to me?

Han Buli: I...

Sima Wu: Kneel down!

KP: Before Han Buli could finish, a cold voice sounded. Han Buli felt the blood parasite in his body surging, his knees softened, and he knelt down unconsciously.

Sima Wu: Please explain to me clearly why you must stay?

Han Buli: I can’t go into details...but I owe someone a life, so I have to go and save her.
