Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

  More than ten thunderous walnut explosions!

  A dazzlingly bright light shone through from behind him.

  Zuo Mo felt a severe impact on his back, his throat sweetened, and he spat out a mouthful of bloody foam. Before he could react, he hugged the female cultivator and crashed heavily into the ground like a falling meteorite.

  Bang!

  The ground is really hard!

  This was Zuo Mo's last thought before he fainted.

  Ma Fan looked at the city wall that had collapsed by nearly half, and he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear in his heart as he thought back to the scene two days ago. The large array inside Jinwu City was thoroughly destroyed, and the Fu Zhan watchtower was almost completely ruined.

  At the most critical moment, the boss threw out countless thunderbolt walnuts and saved everyone.

  The thunderous sound of the walnut's explosion blasted out a blank area of about ten acres.

  The mountains around Jinwu City were not so lucky, being blown to pieces, with no mountain peak intact. Around Jinwu City, there was not a single intact area, and the ground was scorched everywhere.

  In the sky, the Zhuque Camp's patrols could be seen flying back and forth everywhere. After the war, some of the cultivators had ulterior motives and tried to take advantage of the situation, but they were killed off by the enraged Zhuque Camp. The Zhuque Camp played a pitifully small role in this defensive battle, which made them feel quite disgruntled.

  Almost the entire army was defeated, and even the boss couldn't escape. For the Zhuque Corps, which had been tempered in battle and had won numerous victories, this was undoubtedly a great humiliation.

  No one had expected that in the end it was the boss who saved everyone. Even now, thinking back on it, it's like a dream.

  Ma Fan's face didn't show much excitement, the boss was still in a coma and hadn't woken up yet, which also cast a shadow over everyone's heart. In today's team, the boss is the real leader. No one can imagine what it would be like if the boss wasn't around.

  Perhaps this hard-won team will face a fate of collapse.

  Ma Fan was leaning against the green grass, his feet unconsciously kicking at pebbles.

  "Lao Fan, Lao Fan!" Suddenly, a voice full of surprise and delight from Xie Shan echoed in his ears.

  "Hmm." He turned his face and responded vaguely.

  "Boss is awake!" Xie Shan exclaimed loudly.

  Ma Fan was stunned as if struck by lightning, after a while, he suddenly reacted and asked: "Is the boss awake?"

  "Heh heh, just woke up! Just in time for me to be on guard!" Xie Shan said with some complacency.

  "Great!" Ma Fan muttered to himself.

  "It's not like that, it's all right now..."

  The news of Zuo Mo's awakening quickly spread throughout the entire Golden Crow City, and the city was filled with jubilation, washing away the gloom that had been present in recent days.

  Zuo Mo only felt his whole body aching and splitting, unable to hold back a groan. Looking at the familiar faces, he felt an overwhelming joy of being reborn after a disaster. He suddenly changed his expression and asked Gong Sun: "Where is the female cultivator?"

  Gongsun Zhi's face turned strange.

  "How is she?" Zuo Mo was anxious for no reason.

  Although he didn't know the specific situation yet, there must be an extraordinary relationship between him and the female cultivator. The scene of her sacrificing herself to save him, as well as those eyes filled with emotions, kept flashing before his eyes.

  Who are you after all...

  On her, many of the puzzles that have been puzzling Luo Mo can be found answers.

  Nothing must go wrong!

  Seeing Zuo Mo's anxiety, Gong Sun didn't joke around and hastily said: "You'll understand once you see it."

  When Zuǒ Mò saw Nǚ Xiū, he was stunned on the spot.

  The woman sat quietly in the corner of the room, seemingly unaware of the presence of the two people.

  "She... her cultivation..." Zuo Mo asked in a trembling voice.

  Gongsun Zhi shook his head: "She woke up before you, but her cultivation has inexplicably turned into nothingness."

  Zuo Mo's heart suddenly sank, and he silently walked to the female cultivator's front. When he saw the empty eyes of the female cultivator, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and his nose suddenly felt a bit sour.

  Those clear, surprise-filled, and lingering eyes...

  She sat quietly and silently, Zuo Mo walked in front of her, she seemed to be unaware. Zuo Mo stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, but she still didn't react.

  "Check her body." The voice of the Pú Yāo suddenly rang out, and he was somewhat serious.

  Zuo Mo tightly pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and stuck it on her body.

  She was as still as a wooden puppet, never moving once.

  Zuo Mo's face changed color.

  Her meridians were completely severed, and that strange purple power disappeared without a trace. Only a faint glimmer of life remained, like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment.

  Not even her soul could he feel.

  How did this happen?

  His mind went blank for a moment, a complete whiteout.

  It wasn't until much later that he came back to his senses, looking at the female cultivator's ugly and wooden face, especially her gaze, which fell on those empty eyes, and a certain string in his heart was lightly plucked.

  The dazed eyes suddenly solidified a little.

  He entered the Sea of Recognition and saw the Reed Spirit. The Reed Spirit looked at him and said, "I know what you want to ask. Honestly, it's very difficult."

  Pu Yao's voice was serious and low, without a hint of his usual frivolity.

  Zuo Mo's expression turned serious: "Tell me."

  Pu Yao didn't mention any conditions, glanced at Zuo Mo and tossed him a crystal ball with a flowing symbol on its surface, saying: "This is the 'Crossing Calamity Secret', obtained from a cultivator's hands, perhaps it will be of some use."

  Zuo Mo's spirit lifted and he hastily caught the light orb.

  "Don't be too happy yet. This spell can only sustain the last bit of life in her body." The Pú Yāo hesitated and said, "If you really want to save her, it's best if you can find a way to get the Water Cloud Fetus."

  "Shuǐyún Tāi?" Zuǒ Mò asked curiously, he had never heard of this name before.

  "Ah, Shuǐyún Tāi can nourish and give life to the spirit, most suitable for use when the spirit is injured."

  "Is your divine soul injured?"

  "Hmm, her secret technique is quite eerie, it's burning the divine soul and generating a tremendous power." The face of the Pao You turned solemn: "I've also never seen such an eerie secret technique before. Her background, I'm afraid it's not simple."

  After finishing, Pu Yao took a glance at Zuo Mo. He felt somewhat strange that Zuo Mo could get entangled with such an unusual female cultivator, and was probably not simple himself either. However, he usually didn't see anything unusual about Zuo Mo.

  The fox demon collected her thoughts and continued: "Originally, she was bound to die this time, fortunately, she still had a wisp of divine thought left in your body..."

  Zuo Mo's body shook and he involuntarily exclaimed: "She has a divine sense within me?"

  "You don't have the Five Elements Luminous Pearl inside you, and her divine consciousness is already there." The Pú Yāo secretly congratulated himself that he hadn't crushed the pearl earlier, or else things would be troublesome now.

  "Wu Xing Liu Li Zhu..." Zuo Mo muttered to himself.

  "When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will be able to glimpse the mysteries within." The Peony Demon said: "This Five Elements Luminous Pearl is indeed a rare treasure."

  Zuo Mo's fist clenched unconsciously.

  Suddenly, he was filled with fighting spirit.

  For a long time, he lacked a clear goal, including when he was in Wukong Mountain. The long-term life at the bottom made his expectations for life very low. After the most basic requirements were met, he was confused.

  The encounter between Nüxiu and him was unexpected, but now it seems like a destined fate.

  He knew that the female cultivator was very important to him!

  How important is it for him to put a strand of his divine thought into the other person's body? He couldn't imagine. But he knew that except for Nüxiu, no one else could do this.

  That's all there is to it!

  Zuo Mo left the Sea of Consciousness, looking at the female cultivator. Her ugly and wooden face didn't evoke any disgust in him at this moment. Suddenly, he thought of his own zombie-like face from before and couldn't help but smile wryly.

  Fate of Zombies and Female Ghosts?

  "From now on, you can call me Ah Gui."

  The nun remained unmoved.

  "The Secret of the Ferry" is quite profound and complex, mainly because Zuo Mo doesn't understand much about meditation. Pu Yao also doesn't know much about meditation, according to him, this was obtained from a meditator he killed.

  Fortunately, there is Zongru nearby who is relatively authentic in his Zen practice and has helped Zuo Mo resolve many issues.

  Pu Yao's judgment was not wrong, and the "Du E Zhui" indeed helped Agui stabilize that strand of life force, especially under the Zen sound of the mantra, the dead air on Agui's body dissipated a lot.

  Zuo Mo was even more motivated and worked harder.

  After several days, Gong Sunzhi led a female cultivator before Zuo Mo.

  Zuo Mo looked at Gong Sun with some surprise: "Younger brother, who is this?"

  "This is Rong Wei." Gong Sun Chi introduced first, then said: "She hopes to cooperate with us."

  "Cooperation?" Zuo Mo was taken aback.

  "Underneath is Tian Shui realm's Wu Hou Fu, I have been ordered to come to Xiao Shan realm to investigate the White Day Star phenomenon. I humbly request your assistance, sir." He then took out a few magical artifacts: "A small token of my sincerity, not worth much, please accept it with a smile."

  "Is Venus visible?"

  His heart skipped a beat, damn it, the White Day Star appeared, wasn't that himself?

  What is this Wu Hou Fu, where did he come from, and how did he think of investigating himself? He was instantly on high alert.

  He pretended not to understand and asked: "We have indeed seen the white daytime star, but I don't know what this strange phenomenon is pointing to. Please enlighten me, Miss."

  "I dare not instruct." Rong Wei slightly bowed: "Ancient books record, whenever a white star appears during the day, it must be a great demon or evil spirit healing its wounds."

  "What a great demon?" Zuo Mo's heart skipped another beat as he suddenly realized.

  It seems like I need to be more careful in the future, if it happens a few more times, I'll be in danger.

  "Hmm, Lord suspects that there might be a powerful demon infiltrating Xiaoshan Realm." Rong Wei said, this was the most likely guess. It wouldn't be too surprising if Xiaoshan Realm had an appearance of a demonic army and then a certain powerful demon appeared.

  What exactly is on Xiaoyao Mountain that has caused such a stir among the demons?

  Zuo Mo let out a silent sigh of relief and hastily shook his head: "Miss Rong is joking, don't mention the great demon, even if it's just a group of demon soldiers, we wouldn't be enough to handle. We plan to leave Xiaoshan border immediately and head to Tianshui border. Your esteemed family has long resided in Tianshui border, but we are unfamiliar with the place, so please take care of us when the time comes."

  Rong Wei was somewhat disappointed, but this was also within her expectations. Unless there was a special mission, no one would be willing to stay in Xiaoshan for long. This time she came, more of it was to make connections.

  The power of Jin Wucheng, even if it enters Xiaoshan border, is absolutely a force that cannot be underestimated.

  It's better to build good relationships first, there's no harm in doing so.

  Before that, she had thought of recruiting Gong Sun Zan, but after witnessing the great battle that day, this idea immediately disappeared from her mind.

  This kind of person can't be won over by oneself.

  Fortunately, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, she smiled slightly and took out a jade token, handing it to Zuo Mo.

  "I have something to attend to and cannot accompany you all, it's truly regrettable. If any of you encounter difficulties, please take this token to the Wu Hou Fu. Master Wu will certainly welcome you with open arms."

  After exchanging a few more words of idle chatter, Rong Wei bid farewell and left.

  "Are we going to the Heavenly Water Realm?" Gong Sun suddenly asked.
