Outside the mountain city.
Two female nuns in ordinary clothes and wearing veils were hiding in the half-human-high grass beside the road.
Chen Ying, whose one ear turned into a peach blossom branch, pulled hard at the female cultivator whose ear turned into an orchid and smelled of ink next to her.
"Wen Jian, hide quickly, why are you still standing there!"
Wen Jian frowned and looked around with a worried look on his face. Chen Ying was at the peak of foundation building, and she was at the late stage of foundation building. They pretended to be strangers from Qingteng Country to find the fox girl with the child.
After searching for several days without any clues, today while they were walking on the road, a strange child from the mountain city suddenly handed them a note, telling them that the person they were looking for would leave the city from the north gate and head towards Heilou Mountain.
"Senior Sister Chen, should we notify Senior Uncle Deng and wait for her to arrive before making a decision? I always feel that the person who sent us the message has ill intentions."
"Uncle Deng also has to be on guard against the Fang family. We don't know where they are right now. When she arrives, they will all run away! No matter what, the most important thing is to catch them first."
Wen Jian half squatted down and lowered his voice, "But what if we meet a powerful person and we two can't deal with him? Uncle Deng specifically instructed that we must not harm the fox girl and the child, and we must bring them back alive."
Chen Ying didn't care. "Our cultivation is enough to dominate the Yiren Country. What are we afraid of? We finally got out of the North Sea to do the mission. If we don't perform well, we will have to go back to the North Sea. Don't you want to garrison in a wealthy place like the Baishui area?"
Wen Jian's eyes flickered slightly. She had finally escaped from the Kong family and didn't want to go back to the Baishui area.
"Hey, hey, hey, look, aren't those two people suspicious?"
Chen Ying opened her eyes wide and looked out from the bushes. In the direction of the north city gate, there were two crocodile aliens, a man and a woman, followed by a little crocodile man.
Wen Jian took a quick glance and sighed, "She's not a fox girl. Even if she could disguise herself like this, she couldn't fake that kind of idle look and expression."
"Okay, I'll take a look."
Wen Jian sat cross-legged on the ground, thought for a while and decided to secretly send a message to Uncle Deng. This time, Chen Ying gave benefits to the person in charge and replaced her original partner, so she could come out.
Along the way, Wen Jian had many complaints about Chen Ying, but he could do nothing about it. Chen Ying was unreliable, but very good to her. She was generous and often gave her things that she could not refuse.
If it wasn't a matter of great importance, Wen Jian wouldn't be willing to do anything behind her back.
Chen Ying stared at the road intently. Wen Jian had a pen hidden in his sleeve and wrote a few words on a special piece of paper. The words immediately turned into black flying insects and disappeared into the bushes.
The two of them kept watching until dusk, when Chen Ying saw three snake creatures swimming slowly close to the ground, swinging their tails. Two of the men were protecting a big-bellied snake woman in the middle.
Chen Ying glanced away and thumped her aching neck.
Wen Jian silently recited "clear mind and bright eyes" and used two fingers dipped in special ink to draw a line across her eyes. A faint light flashed in her dark pupils.
The snake woman in the middle immediately turned into a fox woman in her eyes, and her child was hidden in her big belly covered by snake skin.
"Senior Sister Chen, it's her!"
Chen Ying glared and jumped out of the bushes without any hesitation. A large net flew out from her sleeves and covered the snake girl in the middle.
As soon as Chen Ying's aura of a cultivator at the peak of the foundation-building stage appeared, the two hired snake men in the Qi training stage who were nearby immediately fled in panic.
"Yu Qing'er, we are from Feiyan Pavilion. We are ordered by the Pavilion Master to ask you to come back to Feiyan Pavilion with us. We will ensure the safety of you and your child."
Wen Jian followed and looked at Chen Ying with gritted teeth. It would be too reckless to take action on the road.
Wen Jian quickly controlled the brush in his hand and wrote the four words "Draw a prison on the ground" in the air. The ink surrounded it and confined the surroundings.
When the fox girl Yu Qing'er saw that her tracks were exposed, her disguise fell off, revealing a delicate and charming face. She tore off the snake skin beneath her body, and a fluffy and soft white fox tail broke free from it.
She held the boy in her arms in silence. He had the same white fox ears and tail as her. She asked with a smile, "Are you sure you won't kill me and my son?"
The boy grabbed Yu Qing'er's hand and looked up at her.
Chen Ying was about to speak, but Wen Jian, who was maintaining the ink prison, interrupted her and said, "Senior Sister Chen, there are many people on the main road. Don't waste time talking to her. Knock her out and take her away."
"Yes, yes!" Chen Ying nodded and raised her hand to grab Yu Qing'er.
Yu Qing'er was only at the fourth level of Qi training. She retreated half a step in panic. When she was about to be hit, her face suddenly changed and she shouted loudly.
"Xiao'er!"
However, Yu Xiao, who was only six or seven years old, looked stern when he heard the voice, and punched directly through the big net, hitting Chen Ying in the abdomen.
Wen Jian watched helplessly as Chen Ying, who was at the peak of the foundation building stage, was knocked away by a child with no cultivation at all, and fell heavily on the ink prison that she had activated.
The surging force shook Wen Jian away, and the ink prison collapsed.
"Senior Sister Chen!"
Chen Ying crashed into a tree and fell to the ground, spitting blood. Yu Qing'er sneered and swung her fox tail. A large cloud of pink smoke suddenly filled the air, with a sweet fragrance that blocked the view.
Wen Jian was eager to save people, so he ran towards Chen Ying first.
Chen Ying gritted her teeth and climbed up, "Don't worry about me, arrest him!"
"there!"
Chen Ying was not completely useless. She noticed the direction Yu Qing'er and Yu Xiao were fleeing, and immediately chased after them with Wen Jian.
As soon as they left, Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan appeared out of nowhere, each holding two jade talismans in their hands.
Xie Jingshan was surprised and said, "Could that child have inherited the giant barbarian bloodline of the Fang family? If so, he is very powerful. Now that the Fang family has been extinct for three generations, the giant barbarian bloodline is almost extinct."
Jiang Yuebai frowned and asked, "Do you think that the female cultivator who used the brush just now looks like a disciple of the Kong family?"
Xie Jingshan thought about it and nodded, "Yes, it is very similar."
"No matter what, let's follow them first. Unless it is necessary, we'd better not meet with the people from Feiyan Pavilion."
The two men hid their figures again and chased after him. Not long after they ran, they heard the sound of fighting.
Outside the woods at the foot of Heilou Mountain, two people from Feiyan Pavilion were seen fighting fiercely with two Feather Clan aliens in the late Foundation Establishment stage. The fox girl Yu Qing'er was protecting Yu Xiao and they were constantly retreating.
Chen Ying had many cards in his hand, and Wen Jian's brush could make a myriad of changes, so the two Feather Clan aliens gradually fell into a disadvantage and were no match for them.
Seeing this, Yu Qing'er did not hesitate and took Yu Xiao to escape into the mountains first.
Wen Jian wanted to chase after him, but was stopped desperately by two aliens from the Feather Clan.
"Go around to the front."
Jiang Yuebai sent a message to Xie Jingshan, and the two of them took a detour from the side, and in less than a moment they arrived at the mountain forest slope in front of Yu Qing'er.
After estimating the route she might have taken, the two of them showed up.
"Take your breath, just like when you were with the Windhoof refugees. You are my brother, so you make the decision."
Xie Jingshan was a little nervous, "Ah? But the fox tribe is very smart, will I really not be exposed like this?"
Jiang Yuebai raised her eyes and looked at Xie Jingshan, "No, because there is a kind of clear stupidity in your eyes. All smart people like smart people like you. Only by controlling you can she feel at ease."
Xie Jingshan blinked in confusion, not quite understanding what Jiang Yuebai said.
Sensing the movement, Jiang Yuebai quickly steadied her breath and said in a soft, cat-like voice that matched her attire, "Brother Gou, it's almost dark. Let's stop looking and go back to the city, okay?"
Xie Jingshan resisted the urge to shiver, glanced at Jiang Yuebai with his nostrils dilated, looked around and said, "Look for it again. It is said that Heilou Mountain is rich in Night Spirit Ginseng. It may be easier to find at night..."
The two of them searched all over the mountain. Yu Qing'er heard the sound from a distance and stopped, covering Yu Xiao's mouth.
Yu Qing'er discovered that they were the two early foundation-building aliens who had traveled with her before. She looked back and the sound of the fight was gradually weakening.
She quickly weighed the pros and cons, and recalled how Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan had behaved so far, which seemed quite decent.
Finally, Yu Qing'er climbed up from the bottom of the slope and shouted to Xie Jingshan who was digging in the forest, "Do you two still remember me? If you want to go to Tieyu Country, I have a way to take you in."
Xie Jingshan paused in digging the soil and looked at Yu Qing'er in confusion.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Yuebai smiled secretly. Young Master Xie was quite smart. Yu Qing'er was in disguise before. If she was recognized directly, she would definitely run away. At this moment, she was standing in a position that was convenient for escape.
Yu Qing'er grabbed Yu Xiao tightly, took a deep breath, and quickly pulled up her cloak to cover her body and face.
"Do you recognize it now?"
Xie Jingshan stood up, shook off the dirt on his hands, sniffed, and asked, "The one from the Fengti Nation team?"
Yu Qing'er nodded, "It's me. I have relatives in Tieyu Country. As long as you escort me there, I will take you into Tieyu Country and give you a large reward."
"To be honest, I've been targeted by bandits, and they'll be here soon. You all know the current situation in the Iron Feather Country, and I'm the only one who can take you in. If it's true, you can send me to the foot of the Four Feathers Mountain and you'll know for sure."
"Brother Gou, be careful of traps." Jiang Yuebai reminded softly.
Xie Jingshan waved his hand, "It's okay. We have to go to Siyu Mountain anyway. She is only at the fourth level of Qi training. She definitely won't dare to lie to us. It's okay to take her with us. If it's fake, I will cook them both and eat them together."
Hearing this, Yu Xiao shrank into Yu Qing'er's arms. Yu Qing'er looked grateful and bowed to him.
"Two seniors, there is no time to lose, let's get on the road quickly."
