Miao Yi was taken aback, his gaze leaving the copper mirror in his hand, his expression twitching as he said, "A mirror can lure the Hell Mantis out, is that true?"
Lao Bai laughed, "I don't know either, I'm just trying."
Miao Yi said with a hint of vigilance, "Lao Bai, don't be rash. I'll be honest, the more you know, the more afraid you become. Only now do I know that the Hell Mantis is too terrifying. Even with my current cultivation, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape its attack. Don't joke around with your life. "
Lao Bai replied, "I still have some confidence in that Great Immortal."
Miao Yi thought about it and agreed. The Great Immortal had left behind a path for Lao Bai, and he had experienced it indirectly from Lao Bai, he had never failed once.
Just like in the beginning, he still held a skeptical attitude towards Lao Bai's training methods, but after experiencing life and death several times, he realized that the things Lao Bai had taught him were very useful.
Otherwise, he would have already died during the battle at Transient Light Cave, not to mention this time when he faced off against Mo Shengtu and Zhang Shucheng. If it weren't for the bitter training under the waterfall and the deep sea, he wouldn't have been able to come out alive.
He had been friends with that Great Immortal for a long time, but it was a pity that he didn't have the chance to meet him.
Once he thought of this, Miao Yi immediately became interested, "Let's go, I want to see how you're going to lure the Hell Mantis out."
Lao Bai laughed and asked, "Are you alright? Do you have time to do this with me? "
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I can just kill those two bastards later."
Lao Bai wasn't a roundworm in his stomach, how could he know what he was thinking, and asked curiously, "Who do you want to kill?"
"Who else could it be?" Miao Yi pointed at the scattered lights of Changfeng City under the night sky, "When I first met you, those two bastards who wanted to kill me."
Lao Bai understood, and shook his head, "You're already a cultivator, why must you make life difficult for two mortals? You can think about it from another perspective. If it weren't for the pressure they put on you, and if you had been living a peaceful life, how could you be where you are today? "
Miao Yi sighed and said, "Lao Bai, you won't be able to understand the feelings of three orphans who had to depend on each other to survive. They didn't even have enough food and clothing to feed themselves. At that time, I had to grit my teeth and endure it. This incident has already left a shadow in my heart. Every time I wake up from my dreams, I worry that my younger brother and sister will be taken away. When I'm meditating and cultivating, I often think about this incident as well. Now that I'm passing by this place, I won't be happy if I don't resolve this matter while I'm at it."
White was silent for a while before he nodded slightly and said, "It seems that this matter has become an inner demon in your cultivation. It's good to get rid of it."
The two of them no longer talked about this matter. They each mounted their horses, and maintained their speed as they rode side by side. They circled around Changfeng City, and galloped towards the unpredictable Boundless Secular World.
Miao Yi once again saw the ancient city. More than ten years had passed, and the ancient city had already become barren beyond recognition. He reckoned that it would take another thousand years for the Boundless Secular World to open once again before it could be renovated.
The old willow tree was still brimming with vitality. Riding his dragon steed under the willow tree, Miao Yi was deeply moved. Back then, the three siblings had been hiding on this tree.
Raising his head to look at the city walls again, Miao Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Back then, I saw a very beautiful woman on top of the city walls. I still remember it until now. At that time, I was still thinking that it would be great if I could marry her. "
Lao Bai replied with an 'Oh', and asked, "Is she a cultivator?"
Miao Yi nodded and said, "Yes. She is a cultivator that is far beyond my reach. Marrying her is just a dream. How could she possibly take a fancy to an unranked cultivator like me?"
"Far beyond your reach?" Lao Bai slowly raised his head to look at the vast starry sky, the white hairs on his temples abruptly fluttering in the wind.
After gazing at it for a while, he turned his head back and gave Miao Yi a gentle glance. Then he turned his horse around and slowly advanced forward, saying, "Fine wine and beautiful women are only idle. I'm just afraid that your heart won't think of forging ahead, and will waste your time moving forward. Even if there is an ageless beauty, she will only be waiting for the day you turn the clouds and rain with a flick of your hand. How can you say that she is far beyond your reach? "
His two legs kicked the horse's abdomen, and his green cloak fluttered under the moonlight as he galloped towards the Boundless Secular World.
Miao Yi was taken aback, and quickly turned his horse back to chase after him.
The two of them stopped their horses under the majestic blood-colored fog that connected the heavens and the earth. Miao Yi turned his head to look at the bright moon hanging in the starry night sky behind him, and asked, "How do we do it?"
"The pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first." Lao Bai flipped out the mirror, and urged his horse to walk back and forth. After adjusting his position, the moonlight in the mirror shone upon the treacherous blood-colored fog, and he could faintly see a beam of light piercing through the fog.
Miao Yi rode Charcoal to his side. He looked at the mirror in his hand, and then looked at the blood-colored fog that connected the heavens and the earth. He asked suspiciously, "Is this enough?"
"I'll give it a try."
"What do we do after we lure the Hell Mantis out?"
"The Hell Mantis can't leave the Boundless Secular World for too long. Once it comes out, I will use the moonlight to attract it, and not let it move about. You go and see if there are any insect eggs under its abdomen. If there are, quickly pluck them and take them away."
"Alright. If there are any problems, I will immediately take you and escape."
Lao Bai smiled, and asked, "Can you outrun its speed?"
"Uh …" Miao Yi laughed dryly, "I can't just sit and wait for death."
After waiting for a long time, the sky was probably going to brighten soon. Seeing that there was still no movement, Miao Yi couldn't help but ask again, "Are you sure this method will work?"
Lao Bai, who had his eyes closed all this time, suddenly opened them and said, "It's coming. Get ready. Remember, it can't stay outside the Boundless Secular World for too long. As long as I can stabilize it here, there won't be any danger. You have to be fast, don't be afraid. "
Miao Yi turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw the blood-colored fog suddenly surge rapidly, as if it was being attacked by some kind of airflow.
Whoosh! The blood-colored fog suddenly burst open, and a gigantic black shadow rushed out of the sea of fog, stirring up a gust of wind and sand. It landed on all fours, supporting its gigantic body.
Miao Yi took a look, and sucked in a breath of cold air.
The Hell Mantis in front of him was at least ten zhang long, and its body was enormous. It was something he had never seen before when he entered the Boundless Secular World.
Its body was like a black steel armor, reflecting a dark luster under the moonlight. The sharp barbs on its limbs were like the horns of a bull, and its triangular head with lush green eyes was swaying its feelers, as if it was surveying its surroundings.
Its front limbs were like the scythes of the Grim Reaper, giving off a huge oppressive feeling, as if it was ready to strike. Its horrifying chewing mouthparts were incessantly slicing.
Its gigantic body emitted a terrifying aura of the netherworld, causing Miao Yi to feel a chill run down his spine. He instantly had goosebumps, as if he had instantly arrived in the netherworld.
Their mounts, even Charcoal, were extremely restless. Miao Yi tried his best to stabilize it.
Lao Bai only gently reached out his hand to caress the mount, and it immediately calmed down.
A ray of moonlight shone on the Hell Mantis' lush green eyes. It was precisely the light reflected from the mirror in Lao Bai's hand. In fact, Lao Bai's lips were also moving slightly, as if he was saying something to the Hell Mantis.
