Under the red sky.
There were clangs of weapons clashing in the air, sounds of sharp weapons piercing into bodies and being pulled out, and angry roars of unwillingness mixed in.
Mixed with the nauseating smell of blood, the endless sounds of fighting resounded through the sky.
After Song Yang and Pei Jing fell from a door, the first thing they saw was an ominous red sky. It was like the sound of fighting on a battlefield, and the roars made people's hearts tremble. The strong smell of blood in the air made people feel helpless.
They were not confused by the bloody sky for too long. Song Yang instantly turned over and landed on the paper crane. He threw out the Moon Damask and picked up Pei Jing who was about to fall to the ground.
When they stood still, they saw a magnificent pagoda in front of them. The pagoda was seven stories high, and it was quite like the legendary Seven Treasure Pagoda.
At this time, the door on the fifth floor of the pagoda was wide open, and they fell from there.
Seeing the two people fall from the Seven Treasure Pagoda, the people fighting in front of the pagoda stopped for a moment and looked hesitantly at the two people who fell inexplicably.
Legend has it that the Seven Treasure Pagoda was a treasure left behind in the Cultivation World by a powerful person who ascended. There were three thousand small worlds and countless treasures in it. It was listed as the number one treasure in the Luo Gu Secret Realm.
Historically, there were people stationed here all year round. Some people even gave up their cultivation in the mortal world and sought the opportunity to enter the pagoda to gain experience.
It was said that there was a capable person who broke through the pagoda ninety-nine times and directly ascended after coming out. This kind of wonderful news continued to bewitch the cultivators one after another.
The conditions to open the Seven Treasure Pagoda were not difficult. It opened once every full moon, and anyone could enter. However, the number of people was limited. When the number of people entering the pagoda was full, the restriction outside the pagoda would mercilessly separate the others.
And people who entered the pagoda had to start from the first floor and go up floor by floor. It was said that there were rare treasures hidden on each floor, so another group of people often gathered in front of the pagoda, quietly waiting for the second opportunity.
The second opportunity was to rob those who safely came out of the pagoda.
However, everyone knew that whether it was entering or leaving the pagoda, the only way was through the door at the bottom of the Seven Treasure Pagoda. When was it possible to come down directly from the upper floors?
Before everyone could figure it out, someone had already figured out the main point. It didn't matter how he fell from the building, as long as he had a treasure on him, it was fine.
Thus, he shouted loudly, "Leave the thing behind!" and swung a heavy hammer.
Inspired by him, over a thousand cultivators came to a realization. They all took out their killer moves, hoping to capture the two cultivators who fell from the Seven Treasures Pagoda.
Seeing this, Song Yang reacted quickly and pushed Pei Jing behind him. A Moon Damask went straight for the hammer!
The seemingly light ribbon struck the heavy hammer that was harder than a rock, and it actually lifted the hammer and sent it flying back in the direction of the attacker.
The big man wielding the heavy hammer was hit head-on, his eyes seeing stars as he dropped the flying sword.
Then, a young man dressed in black jumped after the big man fell and threw a few balls in the direction of Song Yang and Pei Jing. The balls exploded in front of the paper crane, and a few strange vines grew in the wind, waving towards the two people.
Seeing the urgent situation, Song Yang shouted and the Dragon-slaying Sword on his back whizzed out, cutting the vines in half.
Taking advantage of this gap, Song Yang controlled the paper crane to land.
As soon as they landed on the ground, another group of cultivators wielding magic weapons had already quickly approached them. Song Yang unhurriedly patted Pei Jing's shoulder and branded a strand of his divine sense, saying, "You and I will split up. I'll look for you later."
After saying that, he flew up and slashed forward with the sword in his right hand. A biting cold Sword Qi instantly cut the three people running at the front into two!
Everyone was shocked by Song Yang's thunderous move. For a moment, they all stood still. Some of them were unwilling, so they quietly shifted their gazes to Pei Jing at the back.
Feeling the malice, Pei Jing restrained her expression. She thought that if she stayed, she might not be able to help much. She might even be a burden. It was better to listen to Martial Uncle.
Seeing that Song Yang was focused on fighting, she quickly summoned the paper crane and quickly flew away.
Seeing this, some people wanted to chase after her with their flying swords, but their swords were cut down.
Song Yang held the sword with one hand and pointed the tip of the sword at the ground. With a cold expression, he slightly raised his chin and said to the cultivators who had been cut down by him on the ground, "Your opponent is here."
At this time, an ominous wind blew through the bloody air, lifting a corner of his black robe.
His expression was obviously very cold, but against the bloody sky behind him, it looked … a bit more evil. Many people raised their magic weapons to protect themselves and subconsciously retreated.
On the other side, Pei Jing was wholeheartedly driving the paper crane to fly away.
Her cultivation was not enough to ride the sword. She could only cast spells to ride the most basic flying paper crane. At this time, if someone chased after her on a sword, they would be caught in less than ten feet.
Therefore, Pei Jing did not dare to be careless. She used all her strength to fly.
Seeing that she was about to fly through this forest, Pei Jing had been guarding against the pursuers behind her and had neglected the front?? A water snake suddenly descended from the sky and struck her body with great accuracy, catching her off guard and knocking her off the paper crane.
The paper crane lost the support of her spiritual power. Under the attack of the water snake, it directly turned into a tattered talisman paper.
As soon as Pei Jing landed, she quickly rolled on the ground to prevent a sneak attack. When she got up, she was already holding the bracelet in her hand. She aimed at a direction in the forest and threw the bracelet.
The bracelet was a magic weapon she had obtained two years ago on the Fierce Peak of Wind Valley. It had not left her side for two years and she had long been proficient in using it. This throw was very accurate and caught the person hiding behind the tree trunk in an instant.
Hearing a scream from behind the tree, Pei Jing smiled proudly.
This bracelet, which she named Flying Bundle, was a magic weapon she was very proud of?? It could be used to restrain and attack when retreating. Moreover, it looked good on the outside.
The person behind the tree jumped out and suddenly screamed, "It's me, Pei Jing. Have you forgotten me?!"
Pei Jing was startled. She took a closer look. It was a little girl about her age. However, she was thin and small. Her face was pale and haggard. She looked a little malnourished.
This was really rare. One must know that all cultivators breathed in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although they were not devastatingly beautiful, most of them were outstanding talents.
But now, seeing a little girl who looked like a mortal who did not have enough to eat, how could she not be surprised?
What made her even more surprised was that this girl, who had first launched a sneak attack and now shouted at her, meant that she knew her?
Pei Jing looked at her face seriously. She frowned and thought for a while. Then, she asked in surprise, "You are … Meng Mudan?"
In her impression, Meng Mudan had a round face like an apple. Although she was not extremely beautiful, she was at least a pretty girl from a humble family. But now, other than the similar facial features on this thin face, she could not find any trace of the arrogance she used to have.
She could not be blamed for not recognizing her.
Meng Mudan burst into tears and staggered as she ran towards her.
Pei Jing took a step back and said calmly, "Stop. First, tell me why you launched a sneak attack on me."
Meng Mudan stood ten feet in front of her. She sobbed and said, "I, I didn't want to launch a sneak attack on you. I wanted to save you."
She cried bitterly. As she cried, she complained about how unhappy her life had been all these years.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Pei Jing with envy. With her current cultivation level, she could not see how high Pei Jing's cultivation level was.
Thinking back to the time when the immortal master broke her mortal body, not only did she step into the cultivation world like herself, her cultivation level was even higher than hers. While she was envious of the other's opportunity, she also felt sad for herself.
She was originally stationed in the forest outside the Seven Treasure Pagoda. When she saw Pei Jing, she recognized her and chased after her. Seeing that she was about to fly out of the forest, she had no choice but to use the water snake to attract her attention.
Pei Jing spread her hand forward. The flying bracelet that bound Meng Mudan instantly expanded and released her. It flew back and returned to its original three-inch size in her palm.
"Then what's the matter with saving me?"
Meng Mudan swallowed her saliva and looked away from the flying bracelet with difficulty. She smiled and said, "I know how to get out of the Luo Gu Arcane Realm. I can bring you out."
Pei Jing was silent. She once wanted to find a way out as soon as possible. However, after spending two years with Song Yang, getting out of the Arcane Realm was no longer the most important thing.
However, it was also a good thing to know the way out. After staying here for two years, perhaps Song Yang was also trying to find a way out. She didn't know if he would be surprised when she told him about the exit she found.
Thinking about the surprised expression on Song Yang's face, Pei Jing suddenly laughed.
"Okay, I want to know how to get out. You … what are your conditions?"
Meng Mudan smiled with some pride. "I know you won't refuse, but …"
She bit her lower lip and her face showed a bit of struggle and pain. After a long while, she finally spat out the truth slowly.
When she first entered the Miaotzu Sect, she was accepted as an inner disciple by a Core Formation Daoist Master of the Misty Sect because of her good aptitude. She thought she could soar to the sky from then on.
Who knew that this Core Formation Daoist Master, who looked righteous on the surface, was secretly practicing evil techniques. In order to control these disciples, he actually extracted a strand of their souls.
Because her soul was unstable and her original strength was low, her progress in these years was very limited. Even with her three spiritual roots aptitude, she could only cultivate to the fourth level of the Aura Refining realm.
"Pei Jing, since we both came from Lotus Cloud Village, I hope you can help me. I … I want to take back the strand of soul that was extracted. I know this sounds difficult, but I heard that my master is now in seclusion at Lotus Cloud Mountain. As long as someone helps me, this can be done! I beg you! "
Pei Jing was speechless.
Her heart was in an uproar. On one hand, she was surprised that a righteous sect had a cultivator who practiced evil techniques. On the other hand, she was shocked that Meng Mudan's soul was extracted.
