Chapter 96

"Ye Zhen, don't you dare run, I, the thirteenth on the Heavenly Rank, will challenge you, the tenth on the Heavenly Rank!"

For fear that Ye Zhen would avoid him, Cao Luo ran faster and faster, and in the end, he actually rose three feet off the ground, flying over the land. Flying over the land was a sign of just entering the Spirit Induction Realm.

Run?

Ha, what a joke!

Lose the battle, not the formation!

Even if his head was bleeding, Ye Zhen would absolutely not run!

If he encountered a strong enemy like Cao Luo, who had just entered the Spirit Induction Realm, outside the sect, Ye Zhen would flee as far as possible without a second thought.

But inside the sect, the sect rules were there. Ye Zhen was high on the tenth of the Heavenly Rank. Running would make him no different from Hong Bao.

The main hall of the Qiyun Sect was the most bustling place in the sect, aside from the arena, with countless inner and outer disciples coming and going.

Cao Luo's commotion immediately drew everyone's attention to Ye Zhen.

"Run? When have I, Ye Zhen, ever run? Are you the reinforcements Zhou Zhi'an sent? If you want to fight, let's fight! I, Ye Zhen, will go to the arena with you!"

Ye Zhen's heart hardened, and his roar was like thunder, as he went all out.

Even if he couldn't defeat Cao Luo, with the Star Chasing Steps, he wouldn't lose too badly!

"Good!"

The surrounding disciples immediately cheered for Ye Zhen.

Human psychology is very strange. Although everyone knew that Ye Zhen's rank on the Heavenly Rank was high, his strength was only at the Fourth Level of True Essence, while Cao Luo had already entered the Spirit Induction Realm. Subconsciously, Ye Zhen was weak, and Cao Luo was strong!

"Good, you still have some guts!" Cao Luo, who was flying over the land, gave Ye Zhen a thumbs up, "Let's go to the arena!"

Whoosh!

A gust of wind suddenly sounded from the sky.

"Ye Zhen, I finally found you. Hurry, I have an urgent matter and need your help!"

A colorful figure suddenly descended from the sky, grabbed Ye Zhen's wrist without giving him a chance to speak, and took him into the air.

Seeing this, Cao Luo, who had just rushed over, immediately shouted in anger, "Ye Zhen, you coward, why are you running? Didn't we agree to..."

Slap!

In the low air, a colorful ribbon suddenly extended from the colorful figure, striking Cao Luo's mouth with lightning speed. The spiritual energy contained in it sent Cao Luo rolling backward for over a hundred meters.

"An existence in the Spirit Induction Realm actually challenges a disciple who is only at the Fourth Level of True Essence, how shameless!"

A delicate shout, and the colorful ribbon was quickly retracted. A flash of color in the air, and it disappeared without a trace.

"Immortal Fairy Caiyi, it was Immortal Fairy Caiyi who just acted!" The sharp-eyed inner disciples in front of the main hall were already excitedly screaming.

"Was it Immortal Fairy Caiyi who hit me?"

Cao Luo, who had just gotten up and spat out a bloody tooth, looked puzzled.

In an instant, the eyes of hundreds of disciples in front of the main hall focused on Cao Luo, their eyes and faces expressing the same meaning—how shameless you are, Cao Luo!

As for why?

Because Immortal Fairy Caiyi said so!

Immortal Fairy Caiyi was the dream "qīng rén" of most of the disciples in the Qiyun Sect!

Cao Luo, who was being stared at by hundreds of special gazes, had a face full of sorrow and whispered in defense, "I'm only the thirteenth on the Heavenly Rank, I'm just challenging the tenth on the Heavenly Rank..."

Zhou Zhi'an, who had just arrived, was instantly stunned. How could this happen?

In the sky, Ye Zhen felt a soft hand grab him, and a unique fragrance immediately entered his nostrils.

Ye Zhen remembered very clearly, this was the special fragrance of Immortal Fairy Caiyi.

Then, Ye Zhen's brows furrowed. Why was Immortal Fairy Caiyi in such a hurry? What had happened?

"Immortal Fairy Caiyi, why are you in such a hurry to find me? What's the matter?"

"Suer, Suer is gone!"

In a moment, Immortal Fairy Caiyi brought Ye Zhen to Fairy Peak where she meditated.

Flower Lynx?

"What happened to Suer?"

"Since you treated her last time, Suer has been very stable and returned to normal. I no longer restrained her and let her run wild on the mountain. But three days ago, she left and never came back. Normally, she would return before evening." Caiyi said anxiously.

"Could she have gotten lost? Or was she eaten by a wild beast?" Ye Zhen frowned.

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Suer is nourished by my spiritual energy every day and has a bit of spiritual awareness. She would never get lost! As for being eaten, that's even more impossible. Suer has my specially placed spiritual energy protection. If she were attacked, I would definitely feel it." Immortal Fairy Caiyi said.

Ye Zhen's eyes turned red when he heard this. The treatment of the little pet, Flower Lynx, was really high.

"Is that so? Did you look for the place she went to last time?"

"No, I looked for it deliberately, but I didn't find it! Otherwise, I wouldn't be so anxious to find you. Ye Zhen, do you have any way?" Immortal Fairy Caiyi asked anxiously.

Ye Zhen really had no confidence in this matter. The last time Flower Lynx was in heat was nine months ago, and it wasn't time for the next heat yet. Who knew what had happened.

Ye Zhen slowly shook his head.

"What can we do? It's been three days, Suer has been away from home for three days."

Seeing such a great expert as Immortal Fairy Caiyi almost cry over the pet, Flower Lynx, Ye Zhen was speechless. At this moment, Ye Zhen could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

"Let's go to the place she went to last time and look for her. I'll try."

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Ye Zhen's figure shot into the sky again and soon landed in the forest outside the sect's forbidden area.

After landing, Ye Zhen walked slowly with his hands behind his back, focusing his attention and listening carefully.

As Ye Zhen gathered his strength to his ears, enhancing his hearing, once he focused, the sounds of insects and beasts within a few miles flooded into his ears like a tide.

Enduring the thousands of sounds that seemed to be bursting in his head, Ye Zhen carefully distinguished them.

After a short while, Ye Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Follow me!"

Entering the forest, Ye Zhen walked confidently, turning left and right, and soon found a tree nest.

Seeing a stranger, the mother Flower Lynx in the tree nest immediately raised her tail and growled, while the three pink baby lynxes in the nest also whimpered.

"I've been here twice, Suer isn't here." Immortal Fairy Caiyi said.

"Shh, wait and see!" Ye Zhen made a gesture to Immortal Fairy Caiyi to be quiet, with a mysterious look on his face, while Immortal Fairy Caiyi became even more puzzled.

Seeing the Flower Lynx's tail still raised high, Ye Zhen frowned slightly.

"Step back a bit, don't scare her."

As he spoke, Ye Zhen casually grabbed Immortal Fairy Caiyi's soft hand and gently pulled her back.

Ye Zhen, who was fully focused, did not notice that the moment he grabbed Immortal Fairy Caiyi's soft hand, her body stiffened, and her expression became unnatural.

Obediently, Immortal Fairy Caiyi was pulled back six or seven steps by Ye Zhen, and the mother Flower Lynx slowly relaxed.

The mother Flower Lynx relaxed, but Immortal Fairy Caiyi became increasingly nervous.

She had caught Ye Zhen before, but that was when she was extremely dominant. Now, with her hand held by Ye Zhen, a strange feeling began to invade her heart.

Her face slowly turned red, and even her usually cool hands began to sweat.

"What's wrong, are you hot?" Ye Zhen was very surprised.

Meow!

Almost at the same time, an excited lynx cry came from a distance, and the colorful figure of Suer, who had returned from foraging, shot toward the tree nest.

"Suer!"

With a surprised cry, Immortal Fairy Caiyi was about to rush forward.

"Wait, don't move!"

Ye Zhen held Immortal Fairy Caiyi back again, and this time, he held her hand tightly. Only then did Ye Zhen realize that he was holding Immortal Fairy Caiyi's small hand.

Once he noticed, the feeling was immediately different.

"Ye Zhen, what's going on?"

Ye Zhen smiled, "Can't you see? After that incident, the mother Flower Lynx got pregnant. Your Suer is a father now. He just went to gather food for the four of them!"

In the tree nest, the mother Flower Lynx was feeding the three pink baby lynxes.

"Uh... How did you know? I've been here several times and never found it." Immortal Fairy Caiyi looked surprised.

"Secret!" A mischievous glint flashed in Ye Zhen's eyes.

"Hmph!"

Throwing a small tantrum, Immortal Fairy Caiyi immediately became extremely fond of the three baby lynxes. With Suer chirping in the middle, the mother Flower Lynx soon no longer feared the two strangers, Ye Zhen and Immortal Fairy Caiyi.

They played for half a day, and even when it got dark, Immortal Fairy Caiyi was unwilling to leave.

"Immortal Fairy Caiyi, it's so late, shouldn't you go back?" Ye Zhen urged.

"Can't leave! This is already the Qiyun Mountains, where human and even earth-level beasts appear. Suer and its three babies staying here is too dangerous and unsafe!"

"Ah, what can we do?" Ye Zhen was dumbfounded.

"Ye Zhen, help me, help me think of a way to take them back!" Very naturally, Immortal Fairy Caiyi grabbed Ye Zhen's arm and pleaded.

"This, I really can't do it!" Ye Zhen was also helpless, "Right, why don't you just take them away?"

"They will be scared, look at the mother Flower Lynx, she's so tense!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhen spread his hands, "Then there's only one way. You first tell Suer your intentions, and then let Suer persuade them, and it will be fine!"

"Is that so, I'll try."

Next, Ye Zhen watched as Immortal Fairy Caiyi tried to communicate with Suer. Although Suer had some spiritual awareness, it was far from reaching the level of communication. Ye Zhen knew very well that this communication would be very difficult.

"You take your time, I'll go for a breath of fresh air!"

"Be careful, beasts come out at night!"

Responding, Ye Zhen ran a bit further, relieved himself, and was about to return when he suddenly froze. Wasn't this the sect's forbidden area?

While walking leisurely, Ye Zhen had unknowingly reached the sect's forbidden area.

Remembering the strange sounds he heard here last time, Ye Zhen couldn't suppress his curiosity and stopped to listen carefully.

In an instant, hundreds of insect and beast sounds entered Ye Zhen's ears. Ye Zhen slowly adjusted the true essence gathered in his ear acupoints, enhancing his hearing. Gradually, the sounds of hundreds of insects and beasts within the sect's forbidden area became clear in his ears.

"Strive, that thing, is almost out..."

"I... I smell the scent of spiritual energy..."

"If there's really spiritual energy... we... we can advance, right?"
