After a while, a sharp sound rang in everyone's ears. Accompanied by the light from the Six Harmonies Mirror, the black cloud was exposed to everyone's sight.
As far as the eye could see, everything within six feet of him was surrounded by a dense swarm of black bats. Judging from their size, they were more than twice the size of the bats he had seen in the past. Every single one of them had their bloody mouths wide open. In the darkness, their mouths were scarlet red, looking terrifying and sinister.
Zhang Xiaofan and the others felt their hair stand on end. They felt a lingering fear. If they had not used the Six Harmonies Mirror just now, they would have been torn to pieces by these bats. Immediately, they looked at Mu Qingxiao meaningfully.
At this moment, the Six Harmonies Mirror's protective function played a huge role. All the bats were isolated outside the light shield. No matter how they crashed and squeezed, the light shield did not move at all.
Moreover, once the bats came into contact with the light shield, a faint yellow light would enter their bodies, causing their black bodies to tremble as if they had been struck by lightning. They would fall to the ground and struggle for a while before losing all signs of life.
However, there were too many bats that formed the black cloud. As far as the eye could see, even the stars in the night sky were covered. Even if there were millions of bats, the number of bats that died six feet away was just a drop in the ocean.
Countless bats rushed forward dauntlessly, but without exception, they were all blocked outside the light shield. The nauseating stench also seeped in. Other than being a little frightened, everyone was generally safe.
After all, the Six Harmonies Mirror was a Taoist treasure. Under the attack of countless bats, it showed no signs of wavering. The yellow light shield seemed thin, but it stood tall like a mountain. In just a short while, the bats' corpses six feet away piled up into a small mountain.
The bats were unwilling to leave. Zhang Xiaofan and the others turned pale because they did not know how long the Six Harmonies Mirror could protect its master. Mu Qingxiao looked calm. Although there were many bats, to him, they were like chickens and dogs. They could not withstand a single blow.
On the other hand, Lu XueQi, who was standing beside him, was extremely pale. Her slender jade-like hands were tightly clutching his sleeves.
Mu Qingxiao shook his head slightly. She was really suffering because of her pride. He pulled her into his arms. Lu XueQi cried out in surprise. She wanted to resist, but when she felt this safe and warm chest, she hesitated.
Everyone naturally saw Mu Qingxiao's actions. Zhang Xiaofan was also used to it. Zeng Shushu's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment. Lin JingYu's expression was serious. Everyone had their own thoughts.
Lu XueQi's heart was thumping. She tried to push him away, but Mu Qingxiao hugged her tightly. It was as if he wanted to rub her into his body. Lu XueQi was elated, like a little girl who had eaten candy.
Glancing at the waves of bats outside, Lu XueQi's fear lessened. She closed her beautiful eyes and quietly lay in Mu Qingxiao's arms. She no longer cared about the outside world. Even if the Six Harmonies Mirror could not protect her, she would die with the person she loved. She had no regrets.
As the bats screeched and continuously attacked the light shield, Zhang Xiaofan and the others were already soaked in cold sweat. Only Mu Qingxiao and Lu XueQi were calm. This state lasted until dawn.
Early in the morning, the sun rose from the east. The first ray of sunlight shone on the Mulberry Sky Mountain. The bats screeched as if they were afraid. They did not dare to stay any longer and flew straight back to where they came from last night. In just a moment, the bats disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Xiaofan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Qingxiao gently patted Lu XueQi's shoulder and said, "XueQi."
Lu XueQi slowly opened her beautiful eyes. She naturally knew that it was dawn and that the bats had already left. She was just a little reluctant to leave his warm chest.
After confirming that the bats would not return, Zhang Xiaofan removed the Six Harmonies Mirror. The light shield dissipated, and the surrounding piles of bat corpses squeezed over. Mu Qingxiao waved his hand and a terrifying wave of Spirit Qi swept out.
Boom! A wide path was opened up in the middle of the path.
Zeng Shushu and the others knew that Mu Qingxiao's cultivation was extremely high, but they still underestimated him. One could imagine the weight of the small hill piled up by the bats. At the very least, they could not make a spacious path with a wave of his hand.
After moving a few hundred meters away from the original spot, everyone stopped to rest for a moment. They took out dry food and water and sat under a tree to rest.
As the dead bats were not far from here, there was a faint fishy smell in the air. Lu XueQi still felt a little nauseous. Mu Qingxiao just handed her a flask of water.
The two of them had been lovers for a long time, so Lu XueQi did not thank him. She took the flask and drank two mouthfuls. Finally, she felt much better.
Just as everyone was resting, a whistling sound came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw four flashes of light in the sky. In the blink of an eye, they landed in front of them. Two yellow, one white, and one green. The light dissipated, and four figures appeared.
On the left were two monks, and on the right were a young man and a young woman. The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. When they stood together, they looked like a golden boy and jade girl.
The four of them looked at Mu Qingxiao and the others. They frowned when they saw their clean and white clothes. There was some surprise in their eyes. One of the monks with clean skin first chanted the name of Buddha and said, "Amitabha, may I ask if you are Qing Yun disciples?"
Unknowingly, Zhang Xiaofan and the others followed Mu Qingxiao's lead. Seeing that he did not speak and only cared about talking to Lu XueQi, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Zeng Shushu quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Yes, I am Zeng Shushu. May I ask who you are …"
The monk smiled and said, "I am Tian Yin Temple Fa Xiang. This is my junior brother Fa Shan. The two beside him are FenXiang Valley's outstanding disciples Li Xun and Yan Hong."
FenXiang Valley's Li Xun and Yan Hong looked arrogant, as if they were a cut above others. They only nodded slightly, as a form of greeting.
Zeng Shushu's character was also to speak according to the person he met, since that was the case, he did not want to be snubbed, he ignored the FenXiang Valley duo and said to Fa Xiang, "I have long heard of Tian Yin Temple Fa Xiang's name, you are hailed as a rare talent in a thousand years by the orthodox Xiuzhe, to have met you today, you are indeed outstanding."
Hearing Tian Yin Temple, Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled. His gaze was a little complicated. Thinking that his current cultivation level was related to Tian Yin Temple, the complicated feelings in his heart gradually dissipated.
Fa Xiang smiled faintly, his heart was filled with satisfaction. He said, "Senior Brother Zeng, you flatter me. Little Zeng's aptitude is dull, but my master Pu Hong did not abandon me and taught me the true techniques in order to do good for the world. I dare not compare myself to the Qing Yun Sect's senior brothers."
Zeng Shushu laughed and waved his hand, "Senior brother Fa Xiang is too humble. These are my junior brothers and sisters. I will introduce you."
As he said, Zeng Shushu introduced Zhang Xiaofan and Lin JingYu to each other. Fa Xiang heard Zhang Xiaofan's name and was startled. He could not help but take a few more glances.
