Jumping out of the cave in a rage, Modao was just about to tell his companions that there was no need to worry about the traps here, but while he was still in the air, a green vine sprang out from the big hole he had just fallen into and sprayed a cloud of light purple mist towards him.

"Damn, what is this?" He broke the vines casually, but the demon cultivator had already come into contact with the purple mist. Almost in an instant, his skin that had touched the mist began to itch, and red areas appeared.

"Poison mist? No, it's not poisonous. It just seems to make people feel itchy, similar to a toy used by children." The other demon clasped his hands together, gathered the purple mist, held it in his hand, took a look, and quickly came to a conclusion.

"What on earth are they trying to do? Are these little tricks of any use?" The demon who was hit growled while gritting his teeth, "Are they trying to disgust us?"

"It can only disgust us. Do you think two little girls in the state of cultivating the mind can threaten us? Maybe in their eyes, this is a very good trap?" The demon who was not tricked laughed twice. It was not that he looked down on the two little girls, but their strength was much higher than that of the two girls.

Two people in the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm against two people in the middle stage of the Mind Nourishing Realm. This is a match that is impossible to lose!

"Just use the flying sword. I don't know why the Venerable has stopped contacting us, but the two girls will definitely go north. Going north will definitely not be wrong."

"Well, let's go. Don't worry about what's happening here." The demon who was hit nodded.

Taking out his flying sword, he was the first to fly into the air.

Then, as if it had been waiting for him here for a long time, a gorgeous blue flower suddenly appeared in front of him and sprayed pollen all over his face.

The defenseless demon suddenly fell off the flying sword. Before he touched the ground, several thick vines emerged from the ground and dragged the black-clothed demon into the ground.

The other mage was a little dumbfounded by this skillful combo, and within a few seconds, the ground in front of him suddenly exploded, and the mage who was dragged in jumped out with an angry face.

"I will never let those two bastards off!" There were several cracks on the black clothes on his body. The emotions of this demon who had fallen into many traps were a little out of control.

Is the trap prepared by Ye Qiuhan very powerful?

Not strong. At least for now it seems that it has no killing power against the magic path in the Body Tempering Realm. At most, it will just make people's skin itchy for a while.

The vine that suddenly pulled the person into the ground did have some killing power, but it was still too weak for a magician in the Body Tempering Realm.

So, what is this trap for? Is it really just to disgust these two demons?

112. Detour

After the blood butterfly of the Blood Butterfly Venerable was killed, how long would it take for the Demonic Path to catch up with Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan?

No one knows the answer to this question. The two gangs are now running around in the forest like headless flies, and their general direction is both heading north. Apart from that, they have nothing in common.

The speed of the two Body Tempering Realm demons was indeed much faster than Qian Lin and the others, but without the guidance of Venerable Blood Butterfly, they did not dare to walk too fast. If they accidentally went too far and surpassed Qian Lin and the others, it would be a big joke.

As for Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan, their current situation is more relaxed. Without anything monitoring them, they have many more options to choose from.

After traveling in the woods for half a day, Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan found a secluded cave. After a friendly exchange with the Yangxin Realm spirit beast in the cave, they successfully persuaded the other party to let them live in the cave.

This spirit beast even enthusiastically offered its body to Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan as dinner, which was truly touching.

"The quality of the meat is a bit poor, no wonder it has grown so big." Qian Lin commented mercilessly as he stuffed the perfectly grilled meat into his mouth.

If this spiritual beast were still alive, it would probably be cursing Qian Lin for having no sense of public morality. He eats its food and lives in its house, yet he complains that it is not tasty. Is this reasonable?

"It's good to have something to eat. What should we do next? Qian Lin, do you have any ideas?" Ye Qiuhan didn't pay much attention to the taste of the meat in her mouth. She was looking at the map spread on the ground with a frown. "This map is too simple. It's useless."

The map in her hand was picked up on the airship. It marked the starting and ending points of the airship, as well as the places the route passed through.

And this map... is a little small, only about one meter square when spread out on the ground, and many things are not marked.

"After all, it's a free thing. If you want a detailed map of this place, you probably have to go to the nearby town to buy it. But even there, there are probably only maps of the outer edge of the forest, and we are probably deep in the mountains now." Qian Lin spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do about it. "Anyway, we just have to go north now. After we get to the north... we will probably still encounter a lot of dangers."

Originally, Qian Lin thought that she would be safe after reaching the Northern Territory, but then she changed her mind and realized that the forces in the Northern Territory were a mixed bag, and the Qian family's territory was in the heart of the Northern Territory, even further north. Even if she reached the Northern Territory, she would still face a lot of pursuit.

"Well, there are people chasing us. If we just go straight north, we will bump into them... Why don't we just turn back?" Ye Qiuhan hammered his palm and said to Qian Lin with bright eyes, "Let's stay here for a day or two, and then go back to that town. Those demons probably won't expect us to do this."

"Once we get to the town, we can ask the people there for directions to the North. Even if we can't find the way, we can still find the big cities nearby. It's impossible that the big cities here don't have routes to the North, right?"

Ye Qiuhan became more and more excited as she talked, and in the end, she even figured out how to conceal her identity along the way.

And the idea she proposed is indeed very feasible.

Sometimes, rushing forward blindly is not the best approach. Looking back, taking a detour may be the best option.

Those simple-minded demons could never have imagined that under such circumstances, the two of them would not choose to go directly north, but instead choose to turn around and go back taking the longer route.

"What a great idea! Let's do it!"

……

When Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan decided to make a strategic turnaround, Gu Xue's battle with the two magic masters also came to an end, and neither side was able to do anything to the other.

After fighting for a day, both sides felt a little exhausted, so after saying a few harsh words, they left this place of trouble separately.

Gu Xue didn't want to let the two demons leave, but it would be a little difficult for her to keep the two masters. If she was not careful, she might also be implicated. After thinking it over again and again, she could only accept this reality helplessly.

But she cannot go to her two junior sisters now. She cannot be careless until these two masters of the evil ways are dealt with.

Gu Xue made the decision to rest nearby and then slowly move towards the north.

The two magic masters who retreated are also feeling a bit anxious right now. Gu Xue is too difficult to deal with. If they fight to the end, they even think they will be defeated by this young girl master. It's true that the young are to be feared.

"What should we do? There is no news from the Venerable now. Should we continue to pester this woman or just leave?"

"Since the Venerable has no other orders, then we will follow the original plan. Her two junior sisters are only cultivating their minds. They can't hide for long against two people in the Body Tempering Realm and the Venerable's blood butterflies." The other grandmaster saw it clearly. Their current task was to delay this powerful grandmaster so that she could not support her junior sisters.

Without the support of this senior sister, what kind of waves could those two little girls make?

Oh, the fast cultivation speed of the demons does not mean that their combat effectiveness is weak. The reason why they cultivate quickly is because of their special skills, coupled with various cruel means, which leads to such a fast cultivation speed.

As for their fighting power, they are also extremely strong!

It is impossible for a person in the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm to be defeated when facing a person in the middle stage of the Mind Nourishing Realm, absolutely!

The magic master was very confident, but he overlooked one problem, which was...what if the two magic masters in the body-tempering realm couldn't find their target?

The two Body Tempering Realm magicians were almost going crazy as they were searching aimlessly towards the north in the Spirit Beast Forest. There was no clue at all, not even any news about the Venerable. They were now like blind men, having completely lost track of the two girls.

"No, we can't waste any more time here. If they keep going north, they might have walked out of this forest and reached the northern border by now!" Finally, after two days of slow travel, the body-tempering demon who had been tricked by Ye Qiuhan's traps several times could not help it, "We should go directly to the north and wait for them there!"

"But there are so many cities on the border between the North and Central China. How can you be sure which city they will appear in?"

"That's better than wandering around aimlessly here. If all else fails, we can spend some money to have the city rats keep an eye on those two little creatures for us. The little girl with white hair is easy to identify."

No matter how much Qian Lin tried to hide herself, her extremely distinctive features would ultimately make her disguise a big joke.

An extremely beautiful little girl with white hair. Such a target is so conspicuous that it makes people want to laugh.

"Okay, let's do it!" The other Body Tempering Realm demon thought for a moment and nodded, thinking that this method was indeed better than the two of them wandering around here.

It would be extremely difficult for the two of them to search such a large forest completely. They might as well go to the destination of the two girls and wait for them. It all depends on luck. The probability of success there wouldn't be as high as here, right?

I just don’t know why the Venerable hasn’t contacted them again. Could it be that something really happened?

……

When the two demons ran out of patience and planned to head directly to the northern border, Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan had already turned around and started to return the same way. After spending a whole day, they finally saw the town they had seen before.

In order to avoid attracting attention, Qian Lin wore a gray cloak, and her white hair and peerless beauty were hidden in the darkness under the hood. Although this outfit was a bit strange, it was better than showing her face directly.

Ye Qiuhan didn't dress up like Qian Lin. No one knew what method she used, it seemed like she put some powder on her face, and her pretty little face suddenly lost its luster. If you didn't look carefully, you would just think she was an ordinary-looking girl.

Qian Lin was extremely envious and wanted to use this simple method to hide her appearance like Ye Qiuhan. However, as soon as the powder touched her face, it immediately turned into ice chips and had no effect at all.

It was as if Xuanming's body didn't want to be touched by these things.

So Qian Lin finally had no choice but to use this somewhat conspicuous method to conceal his identity.

The two walked into the town and did not attract much attention. This place is adjacent to the Spirit Beast Forest, and many people coming in and out are dressed like Qian Lin. Everyone can understand that they want to hide their identities.

As for Ye Qiuhan, who would care about an ordinary girl?

She's not pretty, just ordinary. It's a waste of energy to focus on her.

This shows that Ye Qiuhan's powder is really powerful. It can turn a saint with almost perfect appearance into this. It's like a magic trick.

"Hehe, this is the method the Saint taught me. She said she used to use this method to avoid trouble." After hearing Qian Lin's low sigh, Ye Qiuhan smiled shyly twice, indicating that this was also a method the Saint taught her temporarily.

The idea was very ingenious. If the Saint hadn't told her, she would probably never have thought of using wood-type spiritual energy to achieve such an effect... Well, maybe that's not the right way to put it?

After all, the saint is also her in a sense.

After booking a room in the hotel in the small town, Ye Qiuhan asked Qian Lin to stay in the room while he went out to investigate the situation, buy a map, and ask for ways to go to the north.

Ye Qiuhan would not make any mistakes with such small matters. Even if she did, the saint hiding in her head would speak up and remind her, so Qian Lin was not worried about Ye Qiuhan at all.

Ye Qiuhan did not let Qian Lin down. He wandered outside for half a day and came back only when the sun set. He brought Qian Lin some good news.

"This is a map of the area nearby. There are several ways to the north. If we go directly through the Spirit Beast Forest, the cities we can go to are not very good. There are all kinds of people there, and the power of the demons is not small." Ye Qiuhan spread the purchased map on the table and explained to Qian Lin, "And the best destination we can choose right now is here."

She pointed to another city that was a little far from the Spirit Beast Forest and said, "There are disciples from the Holy Land stationed in this city. It is one of the cities with the smallest demonic influence."

"And there happens to be a caravan in the town heading to this city. We can go with them."

After listening to Ye Qiuhan's story, Qian Lin asked curiously, "Are they willing to take us with them? Does it cost a lot of spirit stones?"

Ye Qiuhan chuckled twice, "No need to spend spirit stones, that caravan is recruiting guards, and they will have to give us spirit stones if we two powerful cultivators in the Nurturing Mind Realm join us!"

"Ah, this..." Qian Lin really didn't expect this. It seemed that the caravans in such small places were like this. They couldn't even recruit guards in the Body Tempering Realm. Even if they did, they couldn't afford them. They could only choose the second best option, cultivators in the Mind Nourishing Realm as guards.

"I have discussed this with the people from that caravan. You are my sister now. I will work for them and they will take you with them to the North. It makes sense, right?" Ye Qiuhan said, with his hands on his hips. "I will take you to see them tomorrow, but you must remember to play your role well. You are my sister. Remember, you are my sister!"

"Okay, I get it. I'm your sister." Qian Lin was speechless at Ye Qiuhan's repeated emphasis. Is it necessary to pay attention to such a meaningless thing?

What's the point of being sisters? I really don't understand what Ye Qiuhan is thinking.

"As your younger sister, shouldn't you call me sister?" Ye Qiuhan showed a smile of success, gently patted Qian Lin's shoulder, and said expectantly, "Come on, call me sister."

Good boy, so this is what you care about! Qian Lin suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Ye Qiuhan is still the same Ye Qiuhan, he has not changed at all!

"Sorry, I'm a mute sister and I can't speak." Qian Lin replied with a stern face and a cold voice.

"Hey, don't play tricks like this."

"You're five hundred years too early for me to call you sister!"

"I'm older than you, so why can't you call me sister?" Ye Qiuhan was not convinced. Qian Lin was obviously younger than him. Was it really that hard to accept calling her sister?

When I was a kid, I loved calling her sister. All those beautiful senior sisters, Ye Qiuhan, have been called sister, right?

"But you don't give me the feeling that you are a sister, so I refuse!" Qian Lin pushed away Ye Qiuhan's face that had approached him at some point, with an expression of 'I don't like it' on his face.

Seeing Qian Lin's firm attitude, Ye Qiuhan had no choice but to accept this sad reality. She was obviously Qian Lin's genuine senior sister, but she was hardly ever called senior sister. This feeling was really weird.

Is there any other senior sister in this world who is more miserable than me? I am actually looked down upon by my junior sister. It is so miserable.

Ye Qiuhan even wanted to write the word "miserable" on the ground to express his sadness.

It seems that there is still a long way to go before Qian Lin is willing to call him sister or senior sister, Ye Qiuhan sighed with some regret.

"After you changed your practice method, your aura suddenly became very cold. Is there any problem?" After finishing the serious discussion, Ye Qiuhan began to inquire about Qian Lin's current physical condition.

Before, Qian Lin's Chun Shui Hua Sheng Jue combined with the Fire Fox Cloak could reduce the damage of the Xuan Ming Body to the body to a certain extent, but now Qian Lin has transformed the technique into the Xuan Ming Heart Sutra. In addition, during the transformation process, the Fire Fox Cloak was damaged by the overflowing cold air. Now Qian Lin's Xuan Ming Body is likely to be on the road to out of control.

"It's okay now. If it's just this temperature, I can totally bear it." Qian Lin shook her head, indicating that this low temperature was just a small matter for her, a girl born in the Northern Territory. As for the coldness accumulated in her body, there was nothing she could do about it.

However, the accumulation of this cold air is not fast, and it may not cause much damage to the body in one or two years, so it can be ignored for the time being.

This is a matter of life and death, so there is no time to pay attention to future matters. Besides, don’t we have Master and Uncle Bi Ye to back us up? Qian Lin believes that with the abilities of these two venerables, clearing the cold air accumulated in her body is just a piece of cake.

"That's good. If you really can't hold it anymore, don't keep it to yourself. If it really doesn't work, we can just turn back to Yaochi. Those demons will never expect us to make such a decision."

"This method is indeed possible, but I think this matter is not that simple. The letter sent to me by my family may have been intercepted by the magic sect, and their target may not only be me." Qian Lin rubbed her hands, indicating that she was still a little worried about the Qian family. "Although I asked Bai Yiyi and Xiaobai to go together to report the news, I would still feel uneasy if I didn't go."

To be honest, this matter was caused by her, and she should be the one to deal with it.

"Since you said so, I will risk my life to accompany you. Go to bed early, because we have to get up early tomorrow to go to the caravan."

"Ah."

There was no conversation that night, except that Ye Qiuhan, who was sharing a bed with Qian Lin, was quite frozen by Qian Lin.

She had wanted to take this opportunity to hug Qian Lin to enhance their sisterly relationship, but the ridiculously low temperature successfully dissuaded Ye Qiuhan from doing so, and she chose to stay as far away from Qian Lin as possible.

This allowed Qian Lin to find a good way to prevent Ye Qiuhan from sticking to her. However, when using this method, she herself would have to endure the cold, which was like hurting the enemy a thousand times while hurting herself eight hundred times.

"Let's sleep separately from now on. This devil's physique is really difficult to deal with." The next morning, Ye Qiuhan said that he was done with Qian Lin in his current state and would never sleep with Qian Lin again after his Xuanming body was activated.

It was so cold, it felt like I was sleeping with a big ice cube next to me.

"Heh." Qian Lin said that you are such a jerk and you still want me to call you sister. You really have no shame at all.

Putting on a cloak and hood to hide his identity, Qian Lin turned his head to look at Ye Qiuhan who was applying powder on his face. Compared with his simple hiding method, Ye Qiuhan's movements were a little slower.

However, the effect brought by this slowness makes Qian Lin prefer to slow down a little. It's a pity that she can't use this method, which is really a pity.

Otherwise, she could have joined the caravan as a guard like Ye Qiuhan, and earned some spirit stones to supplement her family income.
