When Lu Yibei and Hua Sang followed the hoof prints left by the Shui Shu Beast and found it with Fu Xinyi, they saw from afar that the Shui Shu Beast was lying on the ground, with a pile of green grass underneath it, and its eyes were somewhat displeased.
It complained that Lu Yibei had arrived too slowly. While waiting, it had even taken the time to make simple grass mats for itself and Fu Xinyi.
"I didn't expect it to be such a delicate girl?" Lu Yibei muttered to herself. She walked forward, took out spicy strips to offer to the Shui Shu Beast, and praised, "Amazing, Elder Sister! Well done!"
The Shui Shu Beast proudly lifted its head towards Lu Yibei, then sniffed the spicy strip packaging, picked up two strips, chewed them a few times, and a strange look immediately appeared in its large eyes.
These spicy strips containing Spiritual Energy tasted no worse than the silver fish in the Da Chunyang Palace pool, and they were spicy, which was very good!
Just as Lu Yibei was bribing the Shui Shu Beast with spicy strips and flattering it, Hua Sang walked over to the unconscious Fu Xinyi, grabbed her by the collar, lifted her up to examine her for a while, and shook her head.
Then.
With a release, Fu Xinyi softly fell, dropping back onto the grass mat like a puddle of mud.
Although she was a Psychic with decent physical fitness, the Shui Shu Beast, which controlled the power of thunder, ran with even more astonishing speed.
What Fu Xinyi had just experienced was even more intense than riding on the front of a full-speed train, and a G-type high-speed train at that.
Without the traditional India Psychic skill of "external suspension on a high-speed moving object," it was already remarkable that she could hold on tightly to the Shui Shu Beast and not fall off midway.
"There really isn't any left!" Lu Yibei shook the empty spicy strip packaging bag and spread her hands towards the Shui Shu Beast, whose eyes were full of resentment. "Elder Sister, if you still want to eat, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Hmph!" The Shui Shu Beast snorted, and its expression seemed to accept Lu Yibei's explanation.
Putting away the spicy strip packaging bag, Lu Yibei looked at Hua Sang, who was examining Fu Xinyi, and asked, "How is she? Is she okay?"
"She's alright, not injured..." Hua Sang looked up at Lu Yibei, then looked back at Fu Xinyi, and slightly furrowed her brow. "But what should we do next?"
"By the time it gets dark and we close the net, she'll definitely be awake by then."
At that time, the fact that they had abducted the Zhenshan Divine Beast would be exposed.
"That is a problem..." Lu Yibei thought for a moment and said seriously, "Has your Junior Sister done anything harmful to others recently?"
"She shouldn't have, why do you ask?" Hua Sang tilted her head.
"That's good, then I can act with peace of mind and let her sleep for a while longer, and also help her cleanse her Lingtai and eliminate inner demons, which will be beneficial for her future cultivation!"
Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, and quietly drew out Lingtai Pure Karma, gesturing towards Fu Xinyi's head a couple of times.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" The blade cut through the air, making two whooshing sounds.
Hua Sang, "???"
----
A moment later. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Using the same trick, after lightly tapping Fu Xinyi's head a few times with Lingtai Pure Karma, Lu Yibei bound her to a large tree in the mountain forest with a Spell.
Worried that her Junior Sister would be carried away by wild beasts or their ancestors, Hua Sang thoughtfully added a series of defensive and illusionary Spells for Fu Xinyi.
"Not bad, not bad! This way, she can sleep until tomorrow, or even the morning after!" Lu Yibei praised, and as she spoke, she turned to look at the Shui Shu Beast with a frown. "Now there's one more problem..."
Hua Sang followed Lu Yibei's gaze to the Shui Shu Beast and nodded, saying, "Indeed."
The Shui Shu Beast was too large. It was fine on the way to Shizhou City, but once inside the city, unless it was late at night, it would definitely cause a disturbance.
"Do we have to wait until late at night to act?" Lu Yibei muttered.
Hua Sang, "..."
Understanding their meaning from Lu Yibei and Hua Sang's expressions and conversation, the Shui Shu Beast slowly stood up, let out a low roar, and its body suddenly trembled, and dazzling electric arcs spread from between its scales.
Dense water vapor appeared out of thin air, surging and rolling, wrapping its large body like a giant egg, shrinking more than ten times in size in a single breath.
After the electric light and water mist dissipated, the Shui Shu Beast, which had just been the size of a large horse, was now only the size of a teacup dog, and with its floating light golden long fur, it was even a little cute.
In the blink of an eye, the Elder Sister had turned into a little Junior Sister.
It lifted its small head, rolled its eyes at Lu Yibei and Hua Sang, then flicked its tail and hopped towards the foot of the mountain.
Divine Beasts can be large or small, isn't that common sense?
Otherwise, how did the successive Da Chunyang Palace Headmasters bring the Divine Beasts down the mountain?
Looking at the Shui Shu Beast's small back, Lu Yibei whispered, "Did the Elder Sister just look down on us?"
"You can remove the 'just'." Hua Sang said.
Lu Yibei, "..."

Awakening from his coma, Fang Ji opened his eyes.
Looking at the somewhat familiar ceiling, he immediately realized that he had been sent back to the Qingnang Grass Hut in Da Chunyang Palace.
Lying on the hospital bed, he was in a daze for a few seconds, then he sat up, looked around for a while, and gradually noticed that the atmosphere in the Qingnang Grass Hut was a bit strange today.
He was the only one in the large ward, the corridor outside was quiet, and the busy Da Chunyang Palace disciples he had seen before seemed to have vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated from the world.
Fang Ji got out of bed, put on his shoes, left the ward, and searched around for a while before finding the Da Chunyang Palace disciple on duty in the pharmacy at the end of the corridor.
It was a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a small face and pigtails, squatting in front of a small purple copper Alchemy cauldron, carefully observing the flame changes under the cauldron.
"Excuse me..."
Hearing Fang Ji's voice, the girl looked up at him, her eyes meeting his, and she just opened her mouth to say something when a slight explosion sounded beside her.
"Bang!"
The Alchemy cauldron exploded, the lid was half blown open by the impact, and a puff of black smoke dispersed.
"Oh dear!" The girl exclaimed, turned around in a panic, and after fumbling around to check the Alchemy cauldron, her previously dimmed eyes gradually regained their luster.
After the Alchemy cauldron exploded, her potion had actually been successfully refined, and it was of excellent quality. According to the description on the recipe, this was almost impossible.
At the same time, in Fang Ji's eyes, which were fixed on the Alchemy cauldron, a faint golden light gradually dissipated, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Then, he composed himself and asked again, "Excuse me, why are all the people in this Qingnang Grass Hut gone? Did something happen?"
A large number of memory fragments emerged during his coma, allowing him to understand his own abilities much better and initially gain control of his own destiny.
Although he had not yet reached the point of being able to control it freely, he could already barely manage to slightly reverse the bad luck he had inadvertently brought to others and create a few small miracles.
Although the price of reversing bad luck was that he himself would suffer the corresponding bad luck, but...
After helping those who should be helped, find a bad guy and suck dry his destiny, and it would be okay, right? Fang Ji thought.
At this moment, he hadn't realized that, unconsciously, he had already deviated from the path of the Miracle Order and was beginning to develop in a strange direction.
"Huh? Oh, oh!" The girl came back to her senses, looked at Fang Ji, and said with a face full of embarrassment, "Sorry to say oh, just, something happened just now."
"Uh, you mean you want to ask where everyone in Qingnang Grass Hut went?"
"Yes, yes!"

Seeing Fang Ji smile and nod, the girl explained, "We received a notice this morning saying that a terrifying Great urban legend appeared in Shizhou City, and everyone in Qingnang Grass Hut went to support. Only two people were left on duty on each floor. As for the more specific situation, I don't know."
Fang Ji, "..."
A terrifying Great urban legend appeared?
Is it related to the guys who attacked us last night?
"Thank you!" Fang Ji smiled and thanked the girl, then turned and left the pharmacy, walking towards the outside of the Qingnang Grass Hut.
The girl's attention was entirely focused on the miraculously successful potion, and she was overly excited. Seeing Fang Ji, who was an injured person, leave, she didn't stop him for a moment...
A ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) moment later.
Fang Ji stopped in front of the Qingnang Grass Hut gate, looking at the roads leading in different directions in front of him, and fell into thought.
Where should I go next?
Find Lu Yibei or infiltrate the Secret Society?
Lu Yibei had an aura that made him feel close, suspected to be the holy relic of the First Generation Miracle Saint, and the reward for the bounty mission to infiltrate the Secret Society was likely also a holy relic.
He had sufficient reasons to approach both.
Although he had realized that Saleh and Shem were members of the Miracle Order, he had no intention of recognizing them.
In the not-so-clear memory fragments, the figure suspected to be the Miracle Saint, shrouded in golden light, had warned him more than once that what the Miracle Order was doing now—searching for the holy relic of the First Generation Holy Child—hid a huge conspiracy.
Although he didn't know what the huge conspiracy was, after sharing life with the figure shrouded in golden light and recovering some memories, he also developed a strange emotion towards the so-called holy relic, feeling both close and fearful.
This strange emotion made him temporarily dare not trust any member of the Miracle Order.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Ji, who couldn't find an answer, finally decided to leave the choice to the miracle. So he took a deep breath and pushed his own destiny to the extreme.
The next moment, he heard a rustling sound from the bushes not far away. Following the sound, he quickly saw two suspicious figures with slightly furtive expressions, and vaguely heard their whispers.
"Something big has happened... The Secret Society is finished..."
"Hurry to Chi Li Hall..."
"..."
Secret Society? Chi Li Hall?
His gaze lingered on the Da Chunyang Palace disciple for a few seconds, Fang Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickened his pace to follow.
"Two Senior Brothers, please wait a moment!"
The two, who already had guilty consciences, stiffened slightly when they heard Fang Ji's call and turned around abruptly, their eyes full of vigilance.
"Are you also members of the Society? I just joined the Society not long ago. I woke up early this morning and wanted to contact the Senior Brother who introduced me to the Society, but I couldn't get in touch with him no matter what. Do you know what happened?"
That exquisite face, which was indistinguishable between male and female, looked harmless, her eyes were sincere with a hint of confusion, and her words attempting to blend in were so poor that they were infuriating and almost impossible to pass off.
However... it miraculously achieved great success!
"Holy crap! Sister, you really joined the National Army in 1949!"
"You don't know yet? Something big has happened! The Black Emperor seems to not allow our Society to exist and is working to eliminate us!"
"Fortunately, you met us... Let's go! Let's go to Chi Li Hall together. All the Society members still in Da Chunyang Palace are gathered there, and everyone is preparing to discuss countermeasures!"
Hearing this, Fang Ji nodded thoughtfully and cupped his hands towards the two, "Then thank you, two Senior Brothers."

Shizhou City, near the small commodity wholesale market, in a short-term rental room hidden among the intricate buildings.
Hu Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed, immersed in meditation, and colorless ripples spread out in circles in the surrounding air.
After a long time.
After sensing the Secret Society members hidden in the pursuit team and their surroundings one by one, he opened his eyes, and his face gradually darkened.
Da Chunyang Palace's reaction speed was much faster than he had imagined.
He had only created two attack incidents, and the remaining disciples had gathered together, forming four teams of twenty to thirty people each from dozens of small teams of four to five people, leaving him no opportunity to strike.
"Hmph, huddling together for warmth? Whatever, that's just the beginning!"
Although he could no longer cause chaos among the Da Chunyang Palace disciples responsible for the pursuit, the situation was still under his control.
Da Chunyang Palace disciples were not the only ones in Shizhou City affected by the Yagn Nie.
In Da Chunyang Palace, there were many disciples who did not participate in the pursuit operation.
In a last resort, he could even briefly awaken that Adult...
Although, he really didn't want to do that. After all, being controlled by others, what might happen, he had already personally experienced it.
He needed that Adult to exist, and he also needed Her to sleep forever.
But, if forced into a desperate situation, he could only fight to the death!
Hu Chuan thought, and mobilized Spiritual Energy to torment Zhang Shuo inside him for a while, and his anxious emotions finally stabilized. Then he turned around, picked up the badge on the bedside, injected Spiritual Energy, and contacted Elder Wang.
"My dear Elder Wang! It's been so long, why is there no progress at all on the matter I asked you to do?"
After waiting for a moment, Elder Wang's voice sounded in his ear.
"Damn it, you only know how to talk sarcastically over there! Do you know what the situation is like outside now?"
"Oh?" Hu Chuan didn't expect Elder Wang to dare to speak to him like this. He frowned, suppressed his displeasure, and asked, "What happened?"
"I ♦ still want to ask you! I've been ambushed three times by Psychic from unknown sources! I ♦ don't know any Zhou Shufen or Zhang Yanli at all, they insist I killed them, and another group of people say that Alchemy is punishable by death..."
"Damn it, what's wrong with me liking to collect and forge copper products? Is it a crime to have a personal hobby? It's simply inexplicable!"
Hu Chuan, "..."
From Elder Wang's words, he heard a sense of exasperation.
He closed his eyes, sensed the location of the items corresponding to Elder Wang's little secrets, and realized that those items had left Da Chunyang Palace's Zhenting Hall and were abandoned in the mountain forest of Zhenwu Mountain Scenic Area by someone unknown. After a little thought, he understood everything.
Trying to make us show up with this method is a bit too naive, isn't it?
Hu Chuan thought, and said to Elder Wang in a sarcastic tone, "I didn't expect Elder Wang to be unable to see through such a low-level provocation? This is clearly someone causing trouble. If you can't keep calm, you'll fall right into their trap."
"It has nothing to do with you?"
"I'm not that despicable."
"..." Elder Wang was silent for a moment, then snorted, "Hmph, it better have nothing to do with you!"
After a pause, he changed the subject and continued, "I asked you to contact that guy, and he replied, saying that goods have been delivered to the door, and they are twins, so we each get one!"
"Oh?" Hu Chuan's eyes lit up slightly. "When can they be delivered?"
"Before it gets dark!" Elder Wang laughed, "Hehe, that guy is already fooling that stupid woman."
"Very good!" Hu Chuan smiled, "You tell him, we'll meet at the usual place later!"
