Xiang Xue's eyes squinted at Li Yun who was behind her. She could not help smiling at the four men at the foot of the mountain. "Split up into two sides, we'll be leaving first!"

The four idiots were left at the foot of the mountain. Duck started to cry, "Big sister, it's fine that you left them. You actually left me too. Wuuwaa!"

"Forget it, Xue'er is the princess of the Demon Realm, Fatty is the ancestor of the ancient divine tools, and the spirit pearl is the fruit of immortality. We ordinary people will slowly climb the mountain!"

Li Yun kicked his pants speechlessly. "It doesn't matter if you don't want to bring me along. I'll go up by myself. Anyway, Xue'er told me that we should split our forces into two. Our mission is to protect Shennong's Cauldron!"

"That's right!" Brother Li is right! " Lian Chengxue nodded and spoke as Li Yun turned to look at the Gu Na La who was standing very close to him. After looking around for a while, he stroked his chin and hummed incessantly, "A perfect match, a match made in heaven."

"Huh?" Lian Chengxue and Gunthera did not understand what he meant. They looked at each other, and Li Yun carried Shen Nong Cauldron on his back as he pulled a duck that was in the way and said, "Stop looking, you dumb duck. Leave quickly, let the two of them be alone and cultivate their relationship!"

With that, Li Yun dragged the duck up the mountain, leaving only Lian Chengxue and Gu Nala on the spot. They scratched their heads and looked at each other, standing there baffled.

It took a long time for the Spiritual Bead to catch up. She turned her head to look at the ground, because it was too dark to see clearly, but she could still make out that on the way here, there were trails of rats everywhere. Mouse holes could be seen everywhere.

"These beasts are really fast!" Xiang Xue'er frowned. However, she was still unable to find the whereabouts of that damnable Fire Rat. She was also unable to sense his presence in the air. It was as if he had disappeared from the world in an instant. Where did this bastard hide to?

The fat ancestor raised his head to look at the sky and the mouse hole in the mountain. "We have to increase our speed, or else we won't be able to catch up to these rats!"

"En!" Xiang Xue'er nodded. The three of them sped up their pace once more, heading towards the peak of the mountain. It wasn't until the sky turned white and the sky gradually brightened that they could vaguely see the peak of the mountain.

Even Xiang Xue'er could feel the tiredness as she gazed into the distance. An imposing monastery appeared in front of her, and the winding staircase and red door separated her from the rest of the road by a few kilometers.

Xiang Xue'er finally came to a stop outside the huge red door. She wanted to enter the temple, but she had to pass through. She pushed open the door and raised her head to look at the endless staircase. Immediately, she frowned.

It was too quiet, was it strange? She turned her head to look at the fatty ancestor and the Spiritual Bead. The three of them glanced at each other before she cautiously said, "Be careful. It's a bit strange!"

"En!" Ling Zhu and the fat ancestor immediately increased their vigilance, and the three of them headed up the stairs. Indeed, the surroundings were too quiet, to the point that not even a bird's cry could be heard.

Suddenly, Xiang Xue'er smelled a faint trace of blood. The fishy smell immediately stopped the fatty who was walking beside them, "Wait a moment, something's wrong here!"

As she spoke, she moved along with the blood. The fishy smell wafted to the side as she walked. She discovered some bloodstains surrounding a patch of grass. Xiang Xue'er stopped and walked forward again. She picked at the weeds that were unsatisfied with the bright red blood. The scene before her eyes stunned her.

The skeleton of a person, which had been bitten into a mess by a gnawing beast, fell to the ground. The blood was very fresh, and it looked like it had just died. Xiang Xue'er crouched down. Looking at the bite marks on the corpses and the dead rats on the sides, he immediately understood. "Looks like we came here too late. We were snatched by these beasts!"

Ling Zhu couldn't help but cover her mouth as she hurriedly turned her head to the side. This was too excessive. The fishy scene made her suddenly feel extremely uncomfortable. The fat ancestor lowered his head to look at the corpse's clothes and the sword in his hand, and quickly recognized it: "This must be the disciple of the Five Mountain Southern Mountain Sect." "Son!"

There were also signs of fights and struggles in the surroundings. Xiang Xue'er searched for the location with her breath and found several more corpses. It seemed like the Five Mountain Southern Mountain Sect had suffered a calamity this time as well.

"Looks like we have to hurry!" As she finished speaking, Xiang Xue'er turned around and quickly headed towards the temple. Along the way, she saw more and more corpses, all the way until the top of the mountain.

"We're here!" Climbing the last flight of stairs, Xiang Xue'er panted as she looked up. The white path seemed to be more than ten meters tall, and the top of the tower had already collapsed. The broken tiles and walls were already riddled with holes.

Around that Taoist temple, a bunch of white light was like a barrier, protecting the Taoist temple. The air was filled with violent Yoqi and blood. The fishy smell continued to collide with each other, causing Xiang Xue'er to be extremely shocked.

"Crack, crack, crack." Hundreds of disciples of the Five Mountain's Nanshan Sect. He was wearing a white robe and holding a long sword in his hand as he fought to the death against the swarms of rats. However, there were simply too many rats, and they continued to surge out from the ground, easily piercing through the barrier and biting towards the people.

The fat ancestor was stunned by what he saw. He quickly looked around and said, "This barrier is created by the Kongtong Seal. I'm sure that the ancestor is inside!"

Within the Daoist monastery! Hearing this, Xiang Xue'er unsheathed the Green Edge Sword in her hand with a swoosh. In an instant, the sword trembled as if it resonated with her, and she quickly walked towards the barrier. "Don't worry. Green Edge Sword, we'll meet with Kongtong right away!"

"But, where is the Fire Rat?" Xiang Xue'er began to search for the whereabouts of the Fire Rat. There was no aura in the air. Her red eyes looked towards the temple's gate. "Could it be that the bastard is inside the barrier?"

She leaped for life, and with a whirlwind under her feet, she walked towards the enchantment. But just as she arrived in front of her, she heard a 'bang' sound, and was repelled by a powerful force. Xiang Xue'er tried a few more times, but it seemed that she was the one in front of her. Due to the magic in her body, this barrier didn't really welcome her.

Looking at the fallen disciples of the Five Mountain Village of Nanshan, Zi, the spirit pearl started to get anxious. If you don't want to go in, go up and touch the barrier: "I can go in with the ancestor!"

"En, don't be impatient. Let's go in and find the Kongtong Seal first, then you can come in!" The fat progenitor nodded, and the two exchanged a glance before charging into the barrier.

Xiang Xue'er crossed her arms in front of her chest in extreme displeasure. She looked helplessly at the little brothers of the Five Mountain Southern Mountains who were devoured by the mice inside the barrier. There was no way for her to wait calmly at the door.

"What a joke, making me wait outside at this time is really not my character!" Xiang Xue'er's hand gripped the hilt of the Azure Edge Sword, making 'ka ka ka' sounds from its joints.

She slowly raised her sword, veins popping out from her forehead. The sharp blade in her hand flickered as she hissed, "Hmph! Broken barrier, you actually dare to not let me in. Since that's the case, then I can only forcefully break through! "

"Exorcist Upanishads: Demon Destroying Soul Locking Sword!" Xiang Xue'er's red eyes were wide open as killing intent filled the corners of her eyes. The Green Edge Sword in her hand carried a red flame as it chopped towards the barrier.

Red flames shot out in all directions. Countless chains flew out and fiercely collided with the barrier. With a "pa pa pa" sound, a few cracks appeared on the barrier.

Not too long after, the chains flew through the Spirit Formation and into it. A cold smile appeared on Xiang Xue's face. The legendary Spirit Formation set up by the empty copper mirror was only so-so.

She held her sword with one hand and lightly pulled. Instantly, a huge hole appeared in the barrier. Xiang Xue'er stopped her moves and walked into the barrier. She then quickly walked towards the temple's main entrance.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the side. A young man's voice came from her side, and the cold blade of the sword was pointed at the tip of her nose. Enter my Five Mountain's South Mountain and get past me first! "
