"Thump! Thump!" Zhang Xiaofan knocked hard on the door, but there was no response from the house.
"Senior Sister Lu, open the door!"
There was still no response from the house. Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth and used all his strength to break open the door. He saw Lu Xueqi's lifeless eyes.
" Phew... Senior Sister Lu, you scared me to death..." Zhang Xiaofan patted his chest as if he was scared out of his wits."What are you doing here? Aren't you going to accompany your Yao 'er?"
Zhang Xiaofan could clearly smell jealousy and said awkwardly,""Then what were you doing at the bank of Hongchuan River, Senior Sister? "You even dropped Tian Ya on the ground. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found you…" Lu Xueqi's eyes changed."Why did you stand up for me on the Small Bamboo Peak that day?”Zhang Xiaofan was stunned and didn't say anything. Lu Xueqi's eyes were filled with tears as she said,""Tell me! Why did you stand up for me?"
" Senior Sister Lu," Zhang Xiaofan said," I…I just couldn't stand how rude Lin Yuchen was, so I wanted to teach her a lesson…"
"Humph!" Before Zhang Xiaofan could finish, Lu Xueqi snorted and said coldly,""Then why did you block Lin Yuchen's last attack for me? " You should know how powerful Tian Ya is. It wasn't difficult for me to block that attack…" Zhang Xiaofan was stunned. Why did he block that attack for Lu Xueqi that day?
"Say it? " On Little Bamboo Peak, other than Master, all the other senior sisters treated me coldly. Only you stood up for me. Do you know that I've been interested in you since then? During the Seven Lineage Martial Competition, you didn't want to hurt me and would rather use your flesh and blood to replace the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon's thunder. Do you know that I've already fallen in love with you since then…but…you've been lovey-dovey with Yao 'er. How can I be happy?？”
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned. After a while, he said,""Senior Sister Lu, I…I'm sorry!”
"Sorry? Just a simple apology?"
"Sister Xue Qi, what else do you want him to do?”Biyao appeared. Lu Xueqi looked at Biyao, and the two of them stared at each other. Zhang Xiaofan could clearly see that two flashes of lightning were fighting fiercely in their eyes...
" Erm…Erm…Yao 'Er, Senior Sister Lu, this…" Zhang Xiaofan was incoherent. Biyao glared at Lu Xueqi and suddenly laughed."Sister Xue Qi, since you like Xiao Fan, why don't you try your best to fight for him? " Don't worry, Xiaofan just doesn't understand it in his heart. We only knew each other because he risked his life to save me. Think about it, if he doesn't have you in his heart, why would he block the attack for you?"”Lu Xueqi was stunned. She turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan with hope in her eyes. Zhang Xiaofan braced himself and said,""Senior Sister Lu…"
" Hey, Xiaofan, that's not right. Why are you still calling me Senior Sister Lu and Xueqi? Usually, you would get jealous whenever Lu Xueqi smiled at me. Why did you create an opportunity for Lu Xueqi today? Ah, yes, she must have already confirmed that I have her in my heart. She has nothing to fear. Now, she seems to be sincere…
" Xue... Xueqi..." Zhang Xiaofan was so embarrassed when he called out the name, and his face turned red. Lu Xueqi was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled brightly. This didn't match her icy beauty image at all...
"Ahem, can we finally reconcile? Yao 'er, Xueqi, although my heart is in a mess right now, I'll try my best to organize my thoughts. I still have to go to the Black Pine Forest south of the memorial hall to practice the Taiji Mystic Pure Dao. When I come back, we should be able to go to Kongsang Mountain.”
"I want to go with you!" Bi Yao followed.”Lu Xueqi moved her lips and whispered,""I…I also…"
"You mean you want to go too?" Biyao blinked her big eyes and asked. Lu Xueqi nodded, and Zhang Xiaofan laughed." Alright, it's just that the treatment in the Black Pine Forest isn't as good as the Mountain Sea Court..." Biyao interrupted,""Is that so? But I remember eating roasted rabbit every day in the Black Pine Forest. It's much better than the steamed sleep fish in Shanhai Garden.”When Lu Xueqi heard that, she looked forward to it. Zhang Xiaofan nodded and said,""Alright then, let's move out.”As he spoke, he picked up a pen and wrote on the table: Brother-in-law, Shushu, Senior Martial Sister Lu and I are going to the Black Pine Forest south of the mortuary to cultivate our mantras. We will meet up in a month."

…………
A month later, in the Black Forest.
"Wow, that's great. The Taiji Mystic Pure Dao has already reached the eighth level of the Shang Qing Realm. There are only two more levels before it can break through the Shang Qing Realm and reach the Tai Qing Realm!”
"Mhm, we'll go to River Sun City now to meet up with Senior Brother Qi and Senior Brother Zeng.”Lu Xueqi smiled happily. She could not help but admire Zhang Xiaofan's talent. In just one month, he had cultivated the Taiji Mystic Pure Dao to such a level. What she did not know was that Zhang Xiaofan cultivated both the Burning Prajna Mantra and the Taiji Mystic Pure Dao at the same time. At the beginning, the two mantras countered each other, so it was extremely difficult to cultivate. However, once he broke through the fourth level, the two mantras complemented each other, and it was twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, even with Zhang Xiaofan's talent and the cooperation of the Shadow Clone, it was still impossible for him to cultivate so quickly.
The next day, Biyao and You Ji left, leaving only a note for Zhang Xiaofan. Zhang Xiaofan knew that Biyao had her own things to do. The four of them got up and washed up. Qi Hao gathered the four of them and said,""Mount Kongsang is three thousand miles to the east. It's not a short journey.”The other three had no objections, so they paid the bill and set off.
As expected, the boss of Shanhai Garden admired the Qingyun Sect. The originally expensive room fee was actually 50% off, almost the same as the ordinary room fee. Zhang Xiaofan watched as Qi Hao chatted with the shop owner. At the same time, he saw a few disciples of the Valley of Incense. One of them had an elegant bearing and held a jade ruler in his hand. He must be Li Xun, Yan Hong, and the others...
The four of them flew in the air and finally arrived at Kongsang Mountain after a few days. Everyone descended from the clouds and was shocked. They saw a steep mountain within a hundred miles. However, there were many rocks and few plants. There was no one at the foot of the mountain. It was desolate.
It was almost dusk, and the sun was setting in the west. The faint yellow light of the setting sun shone on Mount Kongsang, making it seem desolate and terrifying. Everyone landed at the foot of the mountain and put away their immortal swords and magic treasures. Qi Hao looked at the sky and said," I don't think there's anyone here to stay. Why don't we go up the mountain immediately and look for the Myriad Bat Ancient Cave while we see if there's a suitable place to rest for the night?"”
Zeng Shushu nodded." Senior Brother Qi, you're right. Let's go up the mountain now."”Zhang Xiaofan didn't have any objections to Zeng Shushu's decision. Lu Xueqi looked at the sky and didn't say a word, but she was the first to walk up the mountain.
Although this Kongsang Mountain was not as ridiculously high as the Blue Cloud Mountain's Tongtian Peak, it was not low either. In addition, it was remote and steep, and there was no way to find it. The four of them walked up from the foot of the mountain. When they reached the mountainside, the sky was already completely dark.
The four of them walked to a platform. Zhang Xiaofan called out to them and took out a small bronze mirror from his pocket. The three of them recognized it at a glance as the Qingyun Sect's supreme treasure, the Six Harmonies Mirror. They were stunned for a moment, not knowing what Zhang Xiaofan was going to do.
Zhang Xiaofan held the Six Harmonies Mirror in his hand and chanted a few incantations. The originally dim Six Harmonies Mirror seemed to have sensed something and gradually lit up. It floated out of Zhang Xiaofan's hand and stopped two feet above his head. The light gradually grew brighter, and a pale yellow halo illuminated a circular area about six feet around the four of them, protecting them in the center.
Qi Hao then said," I know. Eight hundred years ago, Mount Kongsang was a gathering place for demons from the Demonic Sect. Junior Brother Zhang thought that this mountain was desolate and strange. I'm afraid there were many mountain spirits and demons." The Six Harmonies Mirror can protect its master so that we can take precautions.”
"Brother-in-law, you're so smart!" Zhang Xiaofan nodded.”At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a loud bang in the distance, followed by the sound of "crack". The sound gradually became more and more intense, and in the end, not only did it become louder and louder, but even the rhythm could not be heard clearly. Only the loud noise of "rumble" echoed in the wilderness. In the distance, relying on the little light emitted by the Six Directions Mirror in the darkness, everyone was surprised to see a black cloud suddenly rising behind the distant mountain. It was even more strange in the darkness. The loud rumble came from there.
Everyone's expression changed. Zeng Shushu rolled her eyes and suddenly cried out,""Six Directions Mirror!"
As soon as he said that, before anyone could react, the black cloud that was growing larger and larger in the sky seemed to have sensed something and moved towards them. A moment later, an ear-piercing whistle seemed to come from within the black cloud. In an instant, the black cloud actually turned around and pounced towards the four of them, the only light in the dark night.
In an instant, the starry night sky turned pitch-black, as if it was covered by something. Everyone felt a fishy smell fill the air, and Zhang Xiaofan and the others were shocked. Qi Hao was the only one who remained calm, but his face was already pale as he said quickly,""Don't move. Don't leave the range of the Six Directions Mirror.”
After a while, the whistling sound was already close to their ears. Under the light of the Six Directions Mirror, everyone finally saw the black cloud clearly. It was actually countless black bats, densely packed. Moreover, from the looks of their bodies, they were more than twice the size of the bats they had seen in the past. Each of them had their mouths wide open. In their black clothes, their mouths were scarlet, and they were ferocious and terrifying.
However, the pale yellow light emitted by the Six Directions Mirror showed its effect at this moment. All the bats were separated from the circle of light. No matter how they collided and squeezed, the circle of light did not move at all. On the contrary, the bat near the circle of light that came into contact with the pale yellow light emitted a sizzling sound. After a moment, it fell to the ground and struggled non-stop. It seemed that it could not live anymore.
However, there were simply too many bats. Even the stars in the night sky were covered. There were probably millions or tens of millions of them. The ones that died on the ground were probably less than a millionth of them. However, countless bats rushed forward one after another. The four of them were surrounded in the center. Although they were temporarily fine, they were surrounded by terrifying bloody mouths. The stench was almost nauseating.
However, the Six Harmonies Mirror was a Taoist treasure after all. Under the attacks of countless ferocious beasts, it did not show any signs of weakness. The yellow halo seemed thin, but it stood like a mountain. In a short while, the bat corpses around the halo piled up higher and higher.
At this moment, it was unknown how many black bats were surrounding the circle of light. It was not three layers inside and three layers outside. It was probably three hundred layers inside and three hundred layers outside. However, these beasts seemed to have slowed down their attacks on the light circle. It was as if they knew that it was futile and no longer did this useless thing. However, these bats seemed to be reluctant to part with the delicious food in their mouths and continued to surround them, unwilling to leave.
Suddenly, all the bats flapped their wings and flew up. Zeng Shushu looked at them and heaved a sigh of relief."It wasn't easy for me to…"
Before he could finish, he could not continue. The sky was filled with black clouds, and countless bats flew to a high place. They suddenly turned around, and the ones in front rushed down like hailstones, hitting the halo of the Six Directions Mirror. However, they were bounced back by the halo of the Six Directions Mirror. Then, a cloud of blood mist rose up, and under the pale yellow light, they fell to the ground with their bodies shattered.
Blood flowed everywhere, and the stench of blood hit their faces. Countless terrifying flowers of blood appeared in the night and fell to the ground. However, the bats that came later seemed to be indifferent to the death of their own kind and continued to ram. The four people from the Qingyun Sect all turned pale as they looked at the rare savage creature in the world.
Around the circle of light, a thick pile of bat corpses that was almost half the height of a person quickly piled up.
" Hmph!" Zhang Xiaofan snorted." You're just a little bat. How dare you act so rashly?" Sword control technique!"
"Pa!" The Thunderclap Sword and the Soul Devouring Sword were divided into countless swords. The sword light that filled the sky shone brightly on the bats. In the sky, countless immortal swords fought with the bats, and the light emitted by the two main immortal swords could even crush the bats into pieces! The pressure on the Six Directions Mirror was naturally greatly reduced.
This terrifying battle lasted for an unknown period of time. When the bat corpses outside the circle of light were piled up to the height of a person, the bat swarm finally stopped their ferocious attacks. At this moment, even the light circle emitted by the Six Directions Treasure Mirror had dimmed a little, but it still flickered in the night and stood tall.
Dark clouds filled the sky, surrounding the only light in the dark night, and still refused to leave.
The four of them didn't even dare to close their eyes. They each held their own immortal swords and magic treasures, not daring to slack off.
However, the huge swarm of bats seemed to have no other good ideas. They just surrounded them and refused to leave, but they did not launch any more attacks.
This continued until dawn.
When the first ray of sunlight shone from the sky, all the bats suddenly flew up and circled in the air for a moment. Then, they flew back to the place where they had flown out last night. They came quickly and left even faster. In a short while, these countless bats had disappeared.
The four Qingyun Sect members slowly relaxed. Zhang Xiaofan put away the Six Harmonies Mirror and put it in his pocket.
The halo dissipated.
With a muffled sound, the mountain-like bat corpses around the four of them suddenly fell from all directions, drowning the four of them in this disgusting and terrifying river. Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat, and he thought he had stopped breathing. At the same time, he heard a scream from the person beside him. A jade-like hand reached out and grabbed his arm.
She used so much force that her nails dug into his flesh through his clothes.
This pain drilled into his heart. He turned around and looked at Lu Xueqi. Her pale face carried a trace of panic in the morning sun, making his heart ache inexplicably.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly came to his senses and comforted him,""Xueqi, it's fine. Brother-in-law, Shushu, quickly fly up on your sword!”
