Chapter 102 Travels (6)
Where is this place?
Ji Tinghan looked around blankly; this place didn't seem to be in Japan.
Luo Zai Shui looked at the somewhat familiar scene before her and felt a vague unease.
Suddenly, the earth shook and sandstorms rose. Luo Zai Shui immediately grabbed Ji Ting Han to prevent the two from getting separated.
The wind came and went quickly; the weapons that had been hidden underneath vanished in the blink of an eye, and the ground beneath their feet was covered with soft mud and sand.
Looking at the mud and sand beneath her feet, Luo Zai Shui suddenly realized where this sense of familiarity came from.
Ancient battlefield...
Luo Zai Shui's eyes twitched violently. Last time, she and Chu Ye Li accidentally entered the ancient battlefield and almost lost their lives. Now, with Ji Ting Han by her side, things probably won't be any better.
We must find a way to break the formation as soon as possible.
"Senior sister, why did your sword find its way here?"
Ji Tinghan didn't know where they were, but he could sense that something was wrong. His senior sister's sword had a spirit, and it wouldn't have brought them here for no reason.
Luo Zai Shui could not sense the whereabouts of the Rainbow Sword at this moment, so he could only sigh and summon the Luo Shui Sword.
"Luoshui, go, take us to find Changhong."
Since they are all her swords, they will sense each other.
The Luoshui Sword, which flew out of her palm, swayed left and right for a moment, then spun in the air before finally landing quietly in her palm, silently playing dead.
Luo Zai Shui's eyes twitched. These two spirited swords were quite individualistic. One sensed its scabbard and went to find it without a word. The other felt that it was her only sword. The other sword was lost and simply didn't listen to her commands.
"Alright then." Luo Zai Shui sheathed his sword and took out his compass. "Let's investigate first."
"it is good."
The two supported each other as they trudged through the mud and sand, one step deeper than the other.
"The ancient battlefield that Chu Yeli and I entered during the last sect competition was just like this."
Luo Zai Shui briefly explained the current situation to Ji Ting Han.
"That ancient battlefield was where ancient heroes were suppressed. If I'm not mistaken, it should be where demons are suppressed."
Ji Tinghan pursed his lips: "But I've never heard of an ancient battlefield that suppressed the demon race."
Luo Zai Shui patiently explained, "The existence of ancient battlefields is already quite ancient. The locations of many ancient battlefields are not recorded. In addition, with the changes of time and history, these things are even more unverifiable. However, I once heard my master mention that these things have spirits and usually avoid people and hide in sparsely populated places."
Ji Tinghan nodded: "Then to get out, we must first find the array's core?"
“Not bad.” Luo Zai Shui threw the Luo Shui Sword out again. “Since Chang Hong brought us here, it must know something. If we find it, we should be able to get out.”
Xie Jing's tracking talisman suddenly became erratic. He clenched it in his palm and coldly surveyed the demons below.
"W-what's wrong?"
The sect leader of Linghai Sect was afraid that he might accidentally drop him into the demonic tide.
Xie Jing frowned: "They've disappeared in the water."
"Could it be..."
The sect leader of Linghai Sect quickly shut his mouth. He didn't know if it would bring good luck to Xie Jing's disciple, but it would certainly bring bad luck to him.
Xie Jing remained calm: "No, my spiritual power protects the heart of the water vein. I can sense if anything goes wrong, but I can't find anyone right now..."
“I say, Immortal Master Xie, shouldn’t our most important task right now be to suppress the demons? Your disciple is probably not in any danger right now, he’s just temporarily missing. It’s not too late to look for him after we’ve suppressed the demons.”
The sect leader of Linghai Sect spoke cautiously.
"Aren't they dangerous enough that they've all disappeared?" Xie Jing's aura was somewhat dangerous, and the Linghai Sect Master couldn't help but shrink back.
"Never mind, let's reinforce the formation first."
Xie Jing ultimately gave up on the plan to find Luo Zai Shui first. After all, he had packed a lot of protective magic treasures for her when she went out to travel, so that she could cope with some of the desperate situations. Right now, the most important thing was the Demon Clan.
Xie Jing skillfully tossed the person onto his sword, then swiftly opened his folding fan. Before the Linghai Sect Master could figure out what he was up to, he was thrown to the cave entrance.
"You take over this part, and I'll suppress them."
"Wh...what?"
The sect leader of Linghai Sect was terrified when he saw the pairs of menacing eyes staring at him from the cave entrance. A low, angry roar came from inside the cave, but Xie Jing didn't care about that.
"Hurry up."
Xie Jing kicked the man aside, then raised his arm and drew a semicircle with his folding fan. Under the golden light, the demons who originally wanted to approach were forced back several miles away.
Seeing that the demons dared not approach, the sect leader of Linghai Sect began to repair the formation. However, as soon as the formation was completed, it shattered like broken glass.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This...this won't do, Immortal Master Xie, look, this hole is too big, it can't be patched up."
Xie Jing pushed the people aside, made hand seals, and golden light patterns covered the cave entrance, barely covering the black mist that kept pouring out.
He frowned subconsciously. How could the border barrier have become so fragile in just a few years?
The sect leader of Linghai Sect also realized the problem: "Immortal Venerable Xie, please help us make a decision. This array repair might not last long, and we may have to set up a new barrier."
Xie Jing stared at the Demon Realm on the other side: "This barrier has been used for over a thousand years without any flaws. We need to go back and discuss this matter again. Even if we repair this place, the Demon Clan will be able to break through a new opening soon. It seems that this battle is inevitable."
The sect leader of Linghai Sect also sighed, "It seems that the cultivation world, which has been peaceful for a thousand years, is about to be thrown into turmoil again."
Xie Jing snorted coldly: "Didn't it start a long time ago? What, weren't you notified?"
After much persuasion, Luo Zai Shui finally managed to appease Luo Shui Jian and led Ji Ting Han through the area, but they still hadn't managed to fly out of the area they had initially been able to see.
"Flying down like this consumes too much spiritual energy."
Luo Zai Shui led Ji Ting Han to a shady spot, where the two rested against a stone wall.
Ji Tinghan took out the water pouch from his storage ring and handed it to Luo Zaishui: "Senior Sister, have some water first."
Luo Zai Shui didn't stand on ceremony. After taking a sip of water, she stuffed it into Ji Ting Han's hand: "You should drink some too, your skin is all dry and chapped."
After obediently taking a sip of water, Ji Tinghan suddenly asked, "Senior sister, am I really useless?"
"Huh?" Luo Zai Shui was shocked and then reflected on where her parenting methods had gone wrong. "Why do you ask that?"
Ji Tinghan stared at his feet: "I can't help my senior sister at all, and I always end up dragging her down when something happens."
Luo Zai Shui didn't hold back and gave him three flicks on the forehead: "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about?"
"Ouch, it hurts, senior sister—"
Ji Tinghan quickly protected his head.
Are you more awake now?
Meeting Luo Zai Shui's eyes, Ji Ting Han nodded subconsciously.
"Alright, let's continue on our way."
Ji Tinghan hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.
Luo Zai Shui turned to look at him: "What are you standing there for? Xian Yun Feng adopted you not so that you would be useful to me. Just be true to yourself. Ting Han, we are family. There is no such thing as being a burden. We only care about whether we can protect the people we care about. For example, right now, I want to take you out safely."
A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Ji Tinghan's eyes as he caught up with Luo Zaishui's steps: "Senior Sister, I understand."
