In a secluded cave.
The Rainbow Fairies were guarding the entrance.
"Rest well. I'll be on guard." The Rainbow Fairies hugged their swords and sat at the entrance of the cave.
"Fairy Protector, I want to wait a bit longer. Li Gan told me to wait for him. Maybe he went in the wrong direction because of the dense forest and the dark sky. I've already marked our Li family along the way. If he sees it, he'll definitely come looking for us." Li Shuyi kept looking in the direction they came from with an anxious expression.
"We've already been looking for him for more than two hours, but we haven't found anything. Besides, the black-clothed man released a signal before he died. I'm afraid that the pursuers will be here soon. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid that we won't be able to leave even if we want to in the future!" The Rainbow Fairies sighed inwardly.
"Fairy, could it be that Li Gan has fallen into the hands of the black-clothed men again?" Tears silently fell from Li Shuyi's eyes. She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of dependence on Li Gan.
"Don't worry. That kid … Li Gan is very smart. Even if there's some danger, he'll be able to handle it." The Rainbow Fairies bitterly smiled. She naturally didn't want to give up on Li Gan. No matter how bad Li Gan's reputation was in the Ji Province, he was still her savior. Besides, after interacting with him for the past few days, she knew that Li Gan wasn't like the rumors in the Ji Province. Now that she had decided to give up on him, the Rainbow Fairies felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart. However, this wasn't the time to be emotional. Her responsibility was great. As the protector of the Spirit Tempering team, she needed to protect the safety of every Ji Province disciple. She couldn't sacrifice the lives of two disciples just for Li Gan alone.
Li Shuyi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Rainbow Fairies sighed inwardly, but her heart was inexplicably troubled. She had always been calm, so this feeling made her feel extremely strange and uncomfortable.
"I have a question, but I don't know if I should say it." Wu Yan leaned against the wall and looked at Li Shuyi.
"En?" Li Shuyi nodded.
"Could it be that every disciple of the Li family is hiding very deeply? From what I can tell, you should've already become a high-level Earth God two years ago, but you're still hiding something. Li Gan is even more so. In our hearts, he's just a spoiled brat from Ji Zhou City, a hooligan. However, the abilities and methods he's displaying right now are terrifying even to me. "
"I'm not sure about Li Gan. I'm only focused on pursuing the path of god cultivation. I'm not hiding anything at all! As for Li Gan, you'd better ask him himself. " Li Shuyi shook her head. If she were to say that she was hiding something, it wouldn't make sense. It was common sense for god cultivators to pursue the path of immortality. However, when it came to Li Gan, Wu Yan wasn't the only one who found it strange. Even Rainbow Fairies found it hard to believe. If Li Gan was really hiding something, then it must be because his talent was astonishing. Her grandfather was afraid that a tall tree would attract unwanted attention, so he could only nurture him in secret. If that was the case, then Li Gan wouldn't be as simple as an ordinary Man God rookie.
Wu Yan shrugged and didn't ask any more questions.
In her heart, Li Shuyi was a member of the Li family, so she should know something. She just didn't want to say it in front of an outsider like her.
"Wu Yan, where did you get those black clothes? There's also a fire talisman. I saw that Li Gan also has a fire talisman. "Rainbow Fairies asked Wu Yan.
"Fairy, I can only say that I was lucky. When I was escaping, I accidentally discovered the Silver Lightning Snake going berserk. I secretly hid myself. After it calmed down, I went over to take a look. I didn't expect to see two male corpses. For safety, I changed into their clothes."
"Two corpses? Weren't there three? "Rainbow Fairies asked in surprise.
"Could it be that you also encountered the Silver Lightning Snake?"
"That demon beast seemed to have been attracted by Li Gan. If not for him, I'm afraid that fairy and I would have been captured by that group of black-clothed people!" Li Shuyi said.
"It was attracted by Li Gan?" Wu Yan's expression was slightly stunned. Her expression changed again.
"Li Shuyi, I want you to answer my question seriously." Rainbow Fairies suddenly turned serious and looked at Li Shuyi seriously: "The things that Li Gan gave me to eat … What … What were they?"
Rainbow Fairies still couldn't forget that at the critical moment of life and death, Li Gan had pushed those things that contained pure spiritual energy into her mouth. She didn't need to quickly refine them and they could easily be converted into her own spiritual energy. She had never heard of such a miraculous thing. She was afraid that the wonders of those things had already surpassed crystals or yao cores. They were comparable to some legendary pills.
"I don't know either!" Li Shuyi's face was blank, as if she had suffered a great grievance. In fact, she had already remembered Li Gan's reminder in her heart.
"You really don't know?" Rainbow Fairies stared at Li Shuyi with a burning gaze.
"Really!" Li Shuyi nodded. Under the burning gaze of Rainbow Fairies, she felt weak in her heart.
"Alright, you guys rest for a while!" Rainbow Fairies felt a little disappointed. At this moment, she and Wu Yan had the same thought. The Li family must have done something to Li Gan. That brat was definitely not a simple hedonistic son of rich parents!
In the middle of the night, the roars of beasts could be heard from time to time, echoing in the quiet and desolate forest.
Rainbow Fairies sat cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, vigilantly observing their surroundings. They silently operated their secret arts and refined the spiritual energy in their bodies.
With the help of the mysterious things that Li Gang stuffed into their mouths, Rainbow Fairies had already recovered about sixty percent of their spiritual energy. However, the spiritual energy in those things was too dense. As long as they completely refined it, it would only take them three days to fully recover. In order to deal with unknown dangers in the future, Rainbow Fairies could not afford to waste any time and had to quickly refine their spiritual energy.
Li Shuyi and Wu Yan seized the opportunity to absorb the spiritual energy in the surrounding air. They had never been as eager to increase their cultivation as they were now, and they had never been as eager to obtain a higher level divine ability as they were today.
"It's foggy!" Rainbow Fairies opened their eyes and let out a sigh of relief. However, when they looked at the fog again, they felt that there was something wrong.
"Fairies, there's something wrong with this fog. We should quickly leave! Ever since we were attacked by the Violent Ape, the fog has become especially dense. Tonight's fog seems to be the same as that day. "Wu Yan opened his eyes and stared at the thin fog under the night sky, his brows slightly knitted.
"We can't leave. I'm afraid that our whereabouts have already been discovered!" Rainbow Fairies raised two of her fingers and a green light flashed from her hand before disappearing into the white fog. "That's right. There are very minute fluctuations of spiritual energy in this fog."
"No wonder we were attacked by demon beasts as soon as we entered Phoenix Ridge. So it was this fog that was causing trouble." Wu Yan's expression slightly changed.
"I hope we still have time. Let's go!" The more Rainbow Fairies thought about it, the more uneasy they felt. Gripping the longsword in their hands, they suddenly leapt up. Wu Yan and Li Shuyi followed closely behind.
However, the three of them had only taken a few steps before they were enveloped by the thick fog.
Their surroundings were filled with fog and they could not see anything clearly.
"You two be careful!" Rainbow Fairies alerted them and quickly moved closer to the two of them.
"Rainbow Fairies, we meet again. Don't you feel happy?" A cold female voice faintly sounded from within the fog. That voice was very strange and erratic. One moment it was in the east, the next it was in the west. It was very difficult to determine the direction.
"Unfortunately, I didn't think that you would be able to escape from the mouth of the Silver Lightning Snake. I was very surprised at that time." Rainbow Fairies's expression was grave as she replied. She was very familiar with this voice.
"Although I don't know what method you used to dissolve the Frost Seal I planted on your body, this time, no one will come to save you!" The voice of the woman in the fog was even colder. It was obvious that Rainbow Fairies had tickled her.
"You mean you want to take my life? Hehe, that will depend on your methods. Last time I was careless and lost to you. This time … hehe! " Rainbow Fairies gave Wu Yan and Li Shuyi a look. Suddenly, she raised the longsword in her hand and a green light flew out from the tip of the sword. Following that green light, she leapt into the depths of the fog. "You two, hurry up and leave!"
"You want to return to your original state? You're still lacking! "Within the fog, traces of cold air suddenly rushed towards the direction of the three.
"Slash!"
Rainbow Fairies shouted loudly, and the green light on the longsword in her hand surged once again.
Clang, clang, clang …
The green light seemed to have struck copper as it let out a series of ear-piercing metallic clangs.
"Very good, take another move from me!"
That cold female voice seemed to have used some special method. Within the fog, specks of snowflakes could be seen, and the fog swirled.
Hmph!
Rainbow Fairies groaned as blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth.
"Don't worry about me, you guys go!" Rainbow Fairies shouted again and slashed with all her might with the longsword in her hand. Streaks of green light burst out with terrifying killing intent.
It actually blocked all the fog that was flying towards Wu Yan and Li Shuyi.
"Do you really think they can escape?" With a cold snort, Sun Ya appeared within the fog with four black-clothed men. Then, several other black-clothed men blocked the three's escape route.
"You two, don't give up. Even if I have to risk my life, I'll save you guys!" Rainbow Fairies calmed down and flew back to Li Shuyi and Wu Yan's side, her longsword in front of her.
"Don't wait for that little bastard to save you guys again! Don't worry, he'll meet you guys in Hell very soon. "Sun Ya's black jade-like eyes flashed with a cold glint. She wore a mask over her head.
"Let's end this quickly and kill them!" From the depths of the fog, an old voice sounded.
"Attack!"
Ten Great Late Earth God experts and four Heavenly Gods flew towards the three from all directions.
"Follow me!" Rainbow Fairies roared angrily. Their attacks suddenly increased as they charged towards the black-clothed men in front of them.
Colorful spiritual energy waves in the air suppressed the green radiance on Rainbow Fairies' sword.
"Ice Seal!"
The same ice blade shot towards the three again.
Rainbow Fairies naturally knew how powerful the Ice Seal was. Even if she was at her peak, she might not be able to block it, let alone now that she only had sixty percent of her magic power left. However, she still raised the longsword in her hand and charged towards the ice blade with all her might. Thinking of Guard Qiao's self-destruction, a different smile finally appeared on Rainbow Fairies' face.
