Nangong Qian shook his head and chanted an incantation. White immediately turned into a jade pendant and returned to his hand. Only then did the person catch his breath and repeatedly apologize and thank him.
"Thank you for sparing my life, hero. I won't dare to do it again.”
"Forget it. I am a cultivator. Since you have the heart to repent, I will let you go. If you do it again, I will not forgive you!”
Nangong Qian instructed sternly, and the person nodded repeatedly.
"Great hero, I was forced to make a living and ended up here. Great hero, not killing me is like giving me a new life. I'm willing to do anything to repay you. Please accept me!”The man begged.
"No need. Since you've already repented, you should start over. Moreover, we have important matters to attend to, so it's not convenient for us to bring you along.”
Nangong Qian wanted to turn around and leave, but the man refused to let him go. He knelt down and begged Nangong Qian to take him on his way. Nangong Qian could only take out some silver to send him off, but he refused to accept it.
"I don't ask for money. I just want three meals a day. I'll learn the principles of being a human from you.”
"Big Brother Qian, why don't we bring him along?”
"That's right, Brother Qian. Since he's so determined, why don't we bring him to cultivate together? This way, we can both lead people to be good and reduce the sins of the world.”
Han Xu and Tang Wan 'er put in a good word for that person. It might be out of kindness, but it might also be because they did not want to be entangled in the streets anymore and delay their journey.
" Sigh, alright..." Nangong Qian had no choice but to reluctantly agree to the man's request. Only then could they continue on their journey.
The group of five headed towards the west. Along the way, that person kept talking, causing Han Xu and Tang Wan 'er to laugh non-stop. From his mouth, he knew that his name was Li Li. He was not originally from Dragon City. Due to famine, he had wandered from a small town to here. Later, he was forced to make a living and embarked on the business of stealing. Strangely enough, even though he was not proficient in anything, he was skilled in martial arts. Every time he stole, he never failed. No matter who the other party was, they could not discover his technique. Naturally, he was not caught.
From his words, Han Xu felt that he was not a person with a bad character. It was just a moment of carelessness that led him astray. Therefore, through chatting with him, Han Xu gradually let go of his prejudice against him and chatted with him happily.
As they chatted, the group arrived at the Immortal Ascension Platform. Nangong Qian took out the snake-shaped jade pendant and chanted an incantation. The white snake suddenly reappeared. Ba Li was shocked again and did not dare to sit on the white snake's body. In the end, Han Xu pulled him up. Nangong Qian made a hand gesture, and white mist rose. The white snake carried the five of them and soared into the sky.
While flying in the air, Li Li gradually lost his fear of the white snake. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised. He jumped up and down on the snake, and his messy hair was blown away by the wind. Tang Wan 'er had always been afraid of the white snake, but she couldn't say it out loud. She could only sit there silently and look at the scenery under the clouds. Nangong Kun was even more disdainful. He sat on the snake's tail and closed his eyes to meditate.
"Big Brother Qian, where are we?”Han Xu looked at the changing scenery below and asked.
"We've already crossed Hualiang Mountain and are currently on top of Sparrow Sunshine Mountain…"
Before Nangong Qian could finish his sentence, a fierce black feather arrow brushed past his shoulder. A sharp pain spread from his shoulder. He could no longer maintain his hand seal, and the white snake began to tremble violently.
" Not good, there are demon dwellers..." Nangong Qian knelt on one knee. He felt that he could no longer control his vital essence, so he quickly descended to the ground before he lost consciousness.
The white snake shook violently. Even Tang Wan 'er, Han Xu, and Nangong Kun could not stand steadily. Li Li, who had no cultivation at all, was so scared that he hugged the descending white snake tightly and shouted desperately.
Han Xu saw a piece of bamboo falling from the distance with them. Other than the black-robed Black Cicada, there was also an unfamiliar man dressed in dark purple on the leaf. He was holding a dark iron bow that was shining coldly at them.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the white snake fell to the ground and turned into a cloud of white gas. It then transformed into a snake-shaped jade pendant. Nangong Qian also lost consciousness and fainted.
"Not good, Brother Qian is poisoned!" Tang Wan 'er hugged the unconscious Nangong Qian and said anxiously.
"Retreat quickly. There are two enemies, and there is also Black Cicada at the Golden Core stage. I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with them!”Nangong Kun ordered as he changed his hand seals. A fiery light shot out and headed straight for the demon dwellers.
The unfamiliar man shot out another arrow energy, dispersing the oncoming flames. Then, Black Cicada and the man also landed. The man shot out a few more arrows. Nangong Kun was at the stage where he had just used up all his strength. He didn't expect the man to attack so quickly. At this critical moment, a water dragon emerged from behind him and blocked the arrow energy in time.
Nangong Kun looked at Tang Wan 'er and said softly,""You guys retreat first, I'll hold them back!”
"No, we have to get the antidote. Otherwise, Brother Qian…"
As she spoke, Tang Wan 'er took out a white talisman and threw it into the air. Another water dragon rushed towards the demon dweller. Black Cicada did not seem to want to join the battle. He retreated far away and left the attack range of the water dragon. The man was not afraid of the water dragon at all. The black iron bow in his hand continuously shot out black arrow qi, which was real and fake, and instantly destroyed the water dragon.
Han Xu also couldn't hold it in. The silver light of the Hao Ran Mirror appeared and was about to attack, but Li Li inexplicably rushed towards the man with the bow. His speed was extremely fast, and everyone was stunned.
"Come back!" Nangong Kun shouted anxiously.
However, Li Li didn't listen to Nangong Kun's advice. He charged at the man, and the man's bow was already aimed at his forehead. Han Xu had an idea. He immediately cast his mirror on Li Li. Dozens of Li Li immediately rushed at the man from all directions. The man was shocked and seemed to be caught off guard. He kept retreating. However, he suddenly felt a figure flash behind him. The man turned around and kicked Li Li back. Li Li spat out a mouthful of blood, but his face was full of pride.”
Nangong Kun finally noticed the medicine bottle in Li Li's hand and understood. At the same time, he exchanged hand seals with Tang Wan 'er. Han Xu's Zhen Yuan also surged, and two beams of light shot out from the mirror to cover Nangong Kun and Tang Wan' er. Nearly a hundred people appeared in front of the bow-wielding man, giving off an imposing aura. The bow in the man's hand was pointed at an unknown direction, and he was at a loss. Black Cicada also felt a wave of fear and flew forward to block the bamboo leaves in front of the man and her. Nangong Kun and Tang Wan 'er's fire and water curses attacked at the same time. They bloomed everywhere and attacked the bamboo leaves continuously. After the fierce attack, Black Cicada removed the bamboo leaves, but found that there was no one in the dense forest.
"Damn it, they escaped. Shan Yu, let's chase!"
Black Cicada said to the man and enlarged the bamboo leaf again. The two of them rode on the bamboo leaf and went against the wind.
After the black cicada flew away, the dense trees in the forest gradually lost their luster, and Han Xu and his group appeared. It turned out that at the critical moment, Han Xubing had taken a risk and cast Shadow in the Mirror on the trees, forming a forest to hide them. Black Cicada was eager to catch up with them, so he ignored the details. This trick created a chance for Han Xu and the others to survive.
"Give Brother Qian the antidote!" Tang Wan 'er hugged Nangong Qian and said anxiously.
Li Li happily handed over the medicine bottle, his face full of pride. After taking a few pills, Nangong Qian's face gradually regained its color, and the blood from his wounds turned from black to dark red.
"That's great, Brother Qian is fine now. Thank you, Lili!”Tang Wan 'er thanked Li Li sincerely.
Li Li's face turned red after hearing this. He scratched the back of his head and looked humble.
"Li Li, although you were brave today, it was too dangerous. Don't do this again. If anything happens to you, we won't be able to live with our conscience!”Nangong Kun said in a reproachful tone, but he was filled with gratitude.
" Don't worry. Although I don't know any martial arts, my leg and hand skills are top-notch. I'll be fine. Cough cough…"
"Look, you were also kicked by that person just now. Hurry up and rest! By the way, how did you know that person had the antidote?”
"I guessed! Usually, people who used poison would carry an antidote with them.”
"Alright, alright, let's leave this place quickly. Black Cicada and the others may return at any time.”Han Xu reminded.
Nangong Kun carried Nangong Qian on his back, and the group of them went deeper into the forest.
Sparrow Sunshine Mountain was a barren mountain. Although it wasn't big, it wasn't small either. The mountain was filled with all kinds of azalea flowers. The chirping of birds and insects was pleasant to the ears. It was like a harmonious movement of life, refreshing the heart. This was because every time the sun set, the small sparrows in the mountains would fly among them. Their feathers reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, making them beautiful and moving, hence the name.
Nangong Kun found a cave and the group of them hid there for the time being. The cave was quite spacious. After Tang Wan 'er tidied up, the five of them stayed. For safety's sake, Han Xu surrounded the entrance of the cave with the shadows of the trees created by Nongying Mirror. Li Li felt much better after drinking the Fairy in the Mist given by Han Xu. He found a large number of dead branches in the forest to start a fire. Tang Wan 'er and Nangong Kun took care of Nangong Qian closely.
When night fell, Nangong Qian slowly woke up and everyone was relieved. Tang Wan 'er told Nangong Qian about Li Li stealing the medicine. He was extremely excited. He did not expect that the sloppy man he met on the way would actually save his life.
"Alright, alright, everyone has something to eat!”Li Li walked in with a black mud ball in his hands.
" Li Li, thank you for today..." Nangong Qian said gratefully.
"Young Master, Miss Tang has already said thank you just now. You don't have to take it to heart. I caught a pheasant when I was collecting firewood just now. I'll roast it for everyone to eat.”
As he spoke, Li Li handed over the mud ball. The other four looked at the black mud and then looked at Li Li, who had become even darker from the smoke. They couldn't help but laugh.
" Big Brother Li, what is this? I'm afraid it's already burnt and can't be eaten…" Han Xu poked at the lump of mud with a puzzled expression.
"Mr Han, you're mistaken. We're eating the food inside.”
