Chapter 419 Temple Passage
Chapter 419 Temple Passage
"Is this where you live, senior brother?" Yang Qiqi asked excitedly, pointing to Ye Zhi's attic.
“Uh… this is Ye Zhi’s attic. You should have seen her before; she’s the girl who took Wu Qi away at the last auction,” Shen Xu explained, forcing a smile.
"Sister Ye is actually living with Senior Brother Shen too!" Yang Qiqi felt his brain was a bit overwhelmed. What exactly did Senior Brother Shen do in the Four Directions Sword Alliance to be able to live with such important figures?
“Actually, Xiao Zhi rarely comes here; she spends most of her time at Heart Lake,” Bai Lu explained.
"Where does Senior Brother Shen live?"
“I live on the other side of the river, since it wouldn’t be convenient for me to live here. Besides, I’m not picky about where I live, as long as it’s sheltered from the wind and rain and has a bed, that’s fine.”
Just then, the white crane suddenly flew over from the ancient forest and gently landed on his shoulder.
"What beautiful white cranes!" Yang Qiqi couldn't help but exclaim.
"Shen Xu is in trouble! It's possible that living with Xiao Ruo has had some inexplicable effect on her. The cover I set up for her is failing, and we may not have time to go to Baiyu City."
There's still some time; if you have anything urgent, go and take care of it quickly.
Upon hearing Qiling Baihe's words, Shen Xu's gaze immediately fell on the edges of Qiling Baihe's feathers, which were gradually turning from gold to golden-red.
"Is the teleportation array too late?" Shen Xu frowned. He had originally planned to learn more about the temple.
Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, everyone turned their attention to him.
“Her current situation is very special. The teleportation array will directly expose her to the void, and she will likely be teleported directly to the Feather Clan Temple.”
Since that's the case, this matter can no longer be kept from Bailu and the others, after all, he, Qiling Baihe, and Xiaoruo's bodies will probably all remain in Qinglingxi.
"I have something very important to tell you all!" Shen Xu said solemnly to everyone.
"Should I excuse myself for a moment?" Yang Qiqi asked timidly.
"No need, just don't tell anyone."
"I've been saying for a while that I'm going to take Xiaoruo to a place to get treatment, but I haven't told you what place it is. Now I can tell you that we're going to the Feather Clan Temple!"
"And we have to go now. My body, Xiao Ruo's body, my body, and the Qi Ling Bai He's body will all remain in Qing Ling Xi. After that, I'll leave everything to you."
"The Feathered Clan Holy Temple!!"
No wonder you asked about the temple after you came back from the city lord.
"Don't worry, Qingling Creek is one of the safest places in the entire Tianjian Mountain. You don't need to worry about anything happening to your physical bodies," Bai Lu solemnly agreed.
"If the higher-ups of the Sword Alliance ask, what do you expect us to say?" Li Xiaoyi asked.
"Just tell the truth. I think Lord Baiyu should have anticipated this situation when he sent Xiaoruo to Tianjian Mountain."
"Is there anything we can help you with?" Guan Bi asked.
"Let's take Xiaoru out! I think it's time to end her suffering."
Although Yang Qiqi didn't understand the meaning behind Shen Xu's words, she could sense the urgency in his tone. He must have encountered something very urgent, and her arrival might have been untimely.
When Guanbi brought Xiaoruo out, Yang Qiqi's eyes widened in surprise. How could there be a child with wings in the world? But what beautiful wings!
Shen Xu took the unconscious Xiao Ruo from Guan Bi's hands, and then said to the others, "You should not come along. Qi Ling Bai He said that the Feather Clan Holy Temple may harm you."
"Shen Xu, be careful!" Bai Lu couldn't help but remind him at the end.
However, he ignored Bai Lu's concern and led the Qiling White Crane straight into the ancient forest.
"Xiao Yi, do you know what's inside the temple?" Bai Lu asked with some concern as she watched Shen Xu's retreating figure.
"Inheritance, and the unspeakable!"
As Li Xiaoyi repeated Yun Yao's words, she herself was filled with doubt: why didn't Yun Yao tell her what was inside the temple?
And why did she say that Shen Xu was completely unable to enter the Feather Clan's Holy Temple?
……
On the other side, Shen Xu placed Xiao Ruo on the soft grass, then asked the white crane on his shoulder, "What do we do now?"
"moult!"
After the Praying White Crane finished speaking, it flew above Xiao Ruo, spread its wings and hovered in front of the girl. Then, wisps of golden light spilled from its wings and clung to the girl's body. Meanwhile, specks of golden-red light also clung to the Praying White Crane's wings.
As the colors of their wings gradually returned, an invisible wave swept across the Xingchuan Domain from the void and then landed in Tianjian Mountain.
Centered on the ancient forest, the sky suddenly changed dramatically, and the world transformed.
The entire sky was shrouded in a hazy mist, creating a mysterious and profound atmosphere.
As the sky gradually became more and more surreal, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a chill. "Damn! Weren't they saying the commotion wouldn't be too big?"
But at this moment, the Praying White Crane was clearly not in the mood to pay attention to Shen Xu's ramblings; its golden-red feathers began to emit a blazing light.
When the light touched Xiao Ruo, her golden wings began to emit a dazzling golden light.
Then their wings suddenly swelled, transforming into dazzling, illusory wings that gradually intertwined.
With a loud boom, the golden-red glow intensified, turning the world into a fiery golden-red hue.
Four wings of different yet similar colors intertwined to form an illusory portal, as if opening a gate of laws!
The entire gate is woven from golden and red feathers, its surface shimmering and sparkling. Ancient characters are inscribed on the feathers, some resembling dragons and phoenixes, others like the Black Tortoise and the Qilin, all exuding an aura of mystery.
At this moment, the portal shone with divine light, exuding a breathtaking and majestic aura, surrounded by golden-red divine clouds, making it truly extraordinary.
"Go in quickly!" At this moment, the weak voice of Qi Ling Baihe came to his mind.
"Okay!" Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Xu, carrying the already extremely weak Xiao Ruo, plunged into the illusory portal.
As Shen Xu entered the portal, the golden-red portal suddenly shone brightly, then abruptly collapsed into numerous light fragments, dissipating into the world. The golden-red glow in the sky also gradually faded away.
At this moment, the people of Tianjian City looked up at the magnificent golden-red glow that suddenly appeared in the sky, which vanished without a trace in an instant, and they were all stunned.
After the portal disappeared, a shimmering light suddenly appeared in the ancient forest. Looking at the two people and one crane lying unconscious on the ground, it couldn't help but frown.
"Aunt Lan, what brings you here?" Bai Lu, who had rushed over to check on the situation, felt a little guilty upon seeing the blue figure in front of her.
"Greetings, Heavenly River Sword Master!" Li Xiaoyi bowed.
"Sword Master, this is a Venerable!" Yang Qiqi, who had not yet recovered from the shock just now, was immediately plunged into an even deeper shock. Everything that had happened to her this afternoon was beyond her comprehension.
She cautiously and gently raised her head to look at the figure in front of her, but all she could see was a blur.
"What's going on?" Tianhe Sword Master walked gently to Bailu's side and asked in a cold voice.
"The daughter of the White Feather City Lord sensed the call of the Feather Clan Temple, and Shen Xu and Qi Ling Baihe took her there," Bai Lu explained with her head down.
"The Feather Clan's Holy Temple!" A rare hint of surprise appeared in the voice of the Heavenly River Sword Master. Then, as if sensing something, his figure vanished into the ancient forest.
"You scared me to death!" Bai Lu patted her still slightly heaving chest.
"I didn't expect that being received by the Holy Temple would be so grand. But why didn't I see the Feather Clan Holy Temple? It was as if the sky changed color, but then it disappeared quickly."
It is said that when Su Jing was guided, the phantom of the Human Race Temple appeared in the Seven Luminaries Sect. Bai Lu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
“The True Origin Continent is the territory of the human race. The Feather Clan Holy Temple cannot come here. We can only open a passage for them to pass through,” Li Xiaoyi explained.
"Qiqi, this matter is still too important. Since Shen Xu didn't choose to hide it from you, it means he trusts you. I hope you won't tell anyone what you saw today," Guan Bi instructed Yang Qiqi.
"Yes! I know how serious this is."
Yang Qiqi felt that her trip today was truly worthwhile. Not only did she hear so many secrets, but she also met the legendary Venerable One. She wondered if she would ever have the chance to become such a great figure in the future.
"Sisters, although Senior Brother Shen is not here, I still want to see his residence, since that's what I came here for."
"Actually, Shen Xu lives in a very simple place. You can go and take a look when you send his body back," Bai Lu said somewhat embarrassedly.
After all, that little wooden house was her prank, but she didn't expect Shen Xu to be completely unsatisfied.
