Chapter 184 Searching for Bai Lingxiao
When Bai Lingxiao woke up again, she found herself in a cave, bound by a spirit-binding rope, with someone in front of her.
She looked up and saw Song Zhiyuan.
Why did you arrest me?!
Bai Lingxiao said warily, "Song Zhiyuan, I have no grudge against you, let me go!"
She wasn't too flustered. Although the Spirit Binding Rope could trap her, she was born with sword bones and her spiritual energy was different from ordinary people. Spiritual artifacts like the Spirit Binding Rope couldn't trap her for too long.
Song Zhiyuan was naturally aware of this.
He didn't answer Bai Lingxiao's question, but instead threw out the Fire Phoenix.
"Your sword spirit, come with me, and it will be yours."
Bai Lingxiao was stunned.
Looking at the blood-soaked, yet strangely familiar, Huo Luan, she felt a lump in her throat and her eyes sting.
"Fire, Fire Feather?"
Bai Lingxiao couldn't believe it.
Huo Yu let out a mournful cry, then shouted urgently. Bai Lingxiao could understand what it meant; it told her to ignore it and run away quickly.
But Bai Lingxiao finally found it, how could it just run away?
It would take a little time to break free of the binding ropes, so Bai Lingxiao said directly to Song Zhiyuan, "Untie me, I won't run away."
Song Zhiyuan put away the spirit-binding rope.
Bai Lingxiao held Huoyu in her arms and fed it medicine. Huoyu's injuries were too severe, and taking pills alone was too slow, so she quickly took out some wound medicine and applied it to Huoyu.
Her hands were trembling violently, and she couldn't control her tears, which fell in large drops.
She was afraid it would fall onto Huo Yu's wound, so she quickly wiped it off.
"Be good, Huoyu, just bear with it, it will stop hurting soon."
Huo Yu was very well-behaved; she didn't utter a sound even in pain, for fear of upsetting Bai Lingxiao.
Song Zhiyuan watched coldly, thinking of the sword spirit he had refined.
He closed his eyes, forcing himself to forget.
Things that are useless should be replaced.
After finally stopping the bleeding, Huo Yu recovered somewhat and made a muffled sound, but Bai Lingxiao did not move.
"Good boy, go into the spirit sword, I'll take care of the rest."
She gently patted Huo Yu's head and put it into her spirit sword.
"Okay, let's go."
Song Zhiyuan asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to ask me where I'm taking you?"
Bai Lingxiao calmly said, "Going to your death is pointless. Huo Yu is in Hu Guichen's hands. You're going to take me to see him, aren't you?"
She paused, then pleaded, "Can I leave the spirit sword behind? Fire Feather is inside; I don't want it to suffer any more harm."
Song Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."
"However, you must break the contract with it. Also, I need to set up a formation here so that it won't be found by anyone for three days."
Bai Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay."
She put down the spirit sword, and under Song Zhiyuan's gaze, broke the contract with the spirit sword and placed a seal to prevent Huo Yu from coming out.
The spirit sword moved twice, indicating that Huo Yu had discovered what Bai Lingxiao was doing and was trying to rush out to stop her.
Bai Lingxiao touched the spirit sword reluctantly. "Huoyu, be good. Stay here and wait for your junior brother and the others to find you, or you can use the spirit sword to find them yourself in three days."
"They are all very good people and will treat you well."
The spirit sword emitted a buzzing sound, but Bai Lingxiao hardened his heart and ignored it, saying to Song Zhiyuan, "Let's go."
Shortly after they left, Gu Dinghan and Meng Wenchang appeared nearby.
They waited for a long time at the entrance of the inn, but Bai Lingxiao did not appear. Fearing that something might have happened to her, they decided to go and look for her.
But after taking only a few steps, Meng Wenchang noticed some fine powder on the ground.
He squatted down and took a look, and his expression immediately changed drastically.
This is a pearl he gave to Bai Lingxiao. If you crush it and stick even a little bit on it, it won't disappear for at least a month.
Moreover, Meng Wenchang's spirit beast, having smelled the pearl's scent, can use that scent to locate Bai Lingxiao.
This was originally prepared for Bai Lingxiao to use in case of danger. Now that it's been crushed, Bai Lingxiao must have encountered danger.
Without hesitation, Meng Wenchang summoned his spirit beast and chased after them with Gu Dinghan.
After hearing Meng Wenchang's words, Gu Dinghan asked anxiously, "Senior Brother Meng, what if Senior Sister is inside the concealment formation? Will your spirit beast still be able to find her?"
“Yes, we can,” Meng Wenchang said. “We can find it no matter where it is.”
He went through a lot of trouble and almost lost his life to get that pearl.
"Who could have captured Senior Sister? Hu Guichen? It seems like only he could be it."
Meng Wenchang's spirit beast brought them here and has been circling around the area. Meng Wenchang understood, "Senior Sister is here. Look around, there should be an array nearby."
Gu Dinghan also summoned his spirit beast to search. Huo Yu, who was inside the cave, sensed a familiar aura and thought that Bai Lingxiao had returned. He became excited.
It used all its strength to inch its way out, trying to find Bai Lingxiao, but before it could crawl two steps out, the formation was broken.
"Senior sister, senior sister, you are here... wait, it's senior sister's spirit sword!"
Gu Dinghan jogged forward, picked up the spirit sword, and noticed that it was sealed. He casually unsealed it.
Huo Yu came out, only to find that the visitor was not the master, Bai Lingxiao.
It was somewhat disappointed, but it recognized the two men; they were the people its master had spoken of as trustworthy.
Huo Yu tried to explain what had happened, but unfortunately Meng Wenchang and Gu Dinghan did not have sword spirits and could not communicate with Huo Yu.
They tried to understand Huo Yu's meaning, but all they could understand was that Bai Lingxiao had been taken away and was in danger. They couldn't understand anything else, such as who had taken Bai Lingxiao away.
The two were extremely anxious, and for the first time in their lives, they resented themselves for not properly practicing swordsmanship and cultivating a sword spirit.
“Oh right,” Gu Dinghan slapped his forehead, “we don’t have sword spirits, but someone else does!”
"You mean..."
“Junior Sister Yun! And Junior Brother Qi Yan, their sword spirits are highly intelligent, they can definitely communicate with this sword spirit.”
The two had never seen Huo Yu before and assumed it was a newly cultivated sword spirit of Bai Lingxiao.
Realizing this, they dared not delay and headed towards the Azure Cloud Sect with Fire Feather and Spirit Sword.
When Yun Zhao and the others returned to the sect, they did not disturb anyone. There was a small path on the back mountain of Qingyun Peak, and they returned from there.
Looking at Qingyun Peak, which was not much different from his memory, Yunyi was filled with emotion.
If it weren't for the fact that things have changed and people have changed, he would have thought that he had never left Qingyun Peak. Every blade of grass and every tree here has not changed much, or even that there has been no change at all.
Han Yue said in a low voice, "I don't believe that Master has had an accident. I have been having people take care of Qingyun Peak and trying to keep it as it is. Master, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Lu Mingdao also received Yun Zhao's message. As soon as he arrived, the burly man burst into tears, hugging Yun Yi and crying his heart out.
Yun Zhao and the others left the space to the master and his two disciples and quietly left Yun Yi's courtyard. She also took the Five-Unlikes and the Green Vine with her and placed them in her courtyard.
Yun Yi sealed the aura of the Five-Unlikes. To be on the safe side, Yun Zhao added another layer, and Qi Yan added yet another layer, causing the Five-Unlikes to often complain that it looked like a rice dumpling.
Layer after layer.
