After he finished speaking, Li Li slapped the mud ball with his palm. The mud ball immediately broke into pieces, and a stream of hot air came out from it. A rich fragrance rushed into his face, and gradually, a golden fat chicken appeared in front of him.
"So there's such a mystery!" Han Xu looked at Fat Chicken excitedly. He was extremely curious about all kinds of cooking.
"The young masters and young ladies are all children of rich families. They have never eaten the food of us poor people. I once learned this method from a beggar grandfather. He said that this is called 'beggar's chicken'!”
"Li Li, don't call us young masters and young ladies in the future. We're only a few years older than you, and you're probably only older than Little Xu.”
"That's right, big brother Li, you can also call me Little Xu in the future.”
"This…since everyone doesn't mind, then I won't be so restrained.”As Li Li spoke, he became a little excited. Perhaps he had met someone who was close to him, so he was touched.
"Right, Li Li, you should find a river to wash up later and change into clean clothes.”Nangong Qian said with concern.
Li Li nodded gratefully and then distributed the steaming roast chicken to everyone.
"Wow, it's so delicious. It's oily but not greasy. It's full of freshness!”Han Xu was full of praise for the chicken.
Li Li smiled in satisfaction when he saw the expressions of enjoyment on everyone's faces.
After the chicken dinner, Han Xu accompanied Li Li to find a river to bathe in, leaving only the Nangong Twins and Tang Wan 'er in the cave. Nangong Qian stroked the snake-shaped jade pendant in a daze. He could clearly see a deep crack on it, probably caused by the fierce battle. Nangong Qian tried a few times, but the jade pendant could not transform into a white snake. It seemed to be damaged.
Tang Wan 'er saw that Nangong Qian was in such a low mood because of a jade pendant. She could not help but become curious about the jade pendant again. She mustered her courage and asked Nangong Qian again.
"Brother Qian, where did this jade pendant come from? Why is there a demonic aura?"
" Sigh…" Nangong Qian came back to his senses and said lightly,""This is a gift from my old friend. I'm afraid I can't use it anymore…"
"Who sent it…"
Tang Wan 'er swallowed her words. She looked at Nangong Kun's eyes and stopped asking. The three of them sat on their own side, each with their own thoughts, silent.
After two hours, Han Xu and Li Li returned. The three of them looked at Li Li. After changing into Han Xu's clothes, the originally sloppy Li Li had become fair and handsome, completely different from the previous Li Li. A blue headband tied up his soft hair, and his sword-shaped eyebrows were glowing with a heroic spirit. His bright eyes revealed the masculine charm of a man. His scholarly attire made him look even more restrained. A few green bamboos were embellished on his clothes, making him look noble and elegant.
"A true man does not reveal his true appearance. So Brother Li actually has such a handsome appearance. He can be said to be a dragon and phoenix among men.”Nangong Qian couldn't help but praise.
"I've made a fool of myself in front of everyone!" Li Li looked very inexperienced.
Everyone sighed and began to discuss their next plans.
" The jade pendant has been damaged and can't be used anymore," Nangong Qian said first." So we have to follow the route Wan 'er has specified." Fortunately, we have already arrived at Sparrow Sunshine Mountain, which is not far from Shu Dao Sacred Mountain. We only need to pass through Cihang Ancient Town and Tongtian River Valley to reach it. There's also Black Cicada and his group of demon dwellers. They've attacked us time and time again.”
"Although we don't know what their purpose is, we have a mission to carry out, so we can't help but confront them head-on. We should avoid them if we can. Moreover, even if we join forces, we still have to bring Li Li, who doesn't know martial arts.”Tang Wan 'er sighed.
"You don't need to worry about me. In the future, when you fight, I will hide far away. I won't affect you or distract you!”said Lili firmly.
"Don't worry, everyone!" Han Xu took out a golden silk pouch and said,""Don't forget, I still have the brocade bag my mother left me. I think it will definitely help us defeat Black Cicada and the others.”
"No!" Nangong Qian rejected Han Xu." This is the last magic weapon that Madam Jin Ling left for you. You must not open it unless you have no other choice. It is your only hope to save your life and the highest care that Madam Jin Ling has given you!”
"But…I know!" Han Xu looked at the brocade bag and understood his mother's painstaking efforts. He carefully put the brocade bag away.
"Alright, we'll rest here for three days and recuperate. We'll leave immediately after three days.”Nangong Qian finally decided. "From now on, we will take turns to keep watch.”
"Leave the night watch to me, Wan Er, and Xiao Xu. You and Li Li are both injured, so you need to recover quickly.”Nangong Kun said with concern.
"That's right, Brother Kun is right. Let's do it.”Tang Wan 'er and Han Xu echoed.
Nangong Qian could only agree when he saw that everyone was determined. Just like that, according to the arrangement, the group slept safely until dawn. Everyone discussed for a while and decided to let Han Xu and Lili go out to look for food.
It was almost noon, but Li Li and Han Xu still hadn't returned. Nangong Kun felt that something was wrong, so he went out to search with the other two. He searched the forest, but he couldn't find anything. Suddenly, the fragrance of chicken meat drifted over with the wind, accompanied by a hint of drunkenness. The three of them smelled the fragrance and went over. They saw two figures beside a small stream. It was indeed Han Xu and Li Li.
"Why haven't you returned after so long? We were so worried!”Nangong Kun rushed forward and asked.
"Hey, you're all here! Come and try what I just learned from Big Brother Li. I'll add my own ideas and see how it goes!”Han Xu tore some chicken meat and handed it over.
"Mm, not bad, not bad! The chicken meat was tender and plump, and the raw and cooked meat was just right. With the addition of the wine, every fiber of the chicken meat was filled with fragrance.”Tang Wan 'er couldn't help but praise. "What's the name of this dish?"
"Immortal Chicken!"
"As expected, it's an item that's not from the mortal world! Xiaoxu's skills are advancing by leaps and bounds. We really can't catch up!”Nangong Kun nodded.
" It's so delicious. My cooking can't be compared to this. Even the royal chef…" Li Li covered his mouth and didn't say anything else.
"What did you just say?" Nangong Qian heard Li Li's words and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm afraid that even the Jade Emperor can't eat this chicken!”
Everyone was amused when they heard that and clapped their hands in approval.
"You guys are really leisurely! It would be difficult for us not to find you if you made such a delicious dish in the wilderness.”
A cold voice suddenly sounded. The five of them turned their heads and saw that it was Black Cicada and the bow-wielding man who had come over. Black Cicada had already walked over. It was probably too late for everyone to escape now.
"Quickly escape!" With Nangong Qian's order, Li Li darted into the forest like lightning. The bow-wielding man raised his bow and shot out an arrow. However, he missed and Li Li disappeared into the forest.
"Hmph, you escaped quite quickly!" Black Cicada said disdainfully.
"Why did you attack us time and time again? What is your motive?”Nangong Qian shouted angrily as he activated the Thunder Palm in his hand.
"Purpose? Hmph, hand over the secret letter from the court and I might let you go.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This letter was a secret of the court. Even the officials in the court only knew about it, let alone Black Cicada and the others. All of this stunned the four of them.
"Not handing it over? Then we can only do it ourselves! Shan Yu!"
With Black Cicada's order, the man named Shan Yu rushed forward. At the same time, he pulled the bowstring in his hand and countless arrows shot out. At this moment, Han Xu understood that if it wasn't for his momentary itch, he wouldn't have attracted the black cicadas. Now, it was too late for him to regret. Han Xu steeled his heart and placed the Righteous Mirror in front of him. He changed the seal in his hand and a white light shot out from the mirror. The light instantly spread out and formed a light wall, protecting Han Xu and the others.
Countless arrows hit the wall of light and turned into black smoke. Han Xu had never used the Glorious Mirror Wall in front of the Nangong Twins before because it was obviously very difficult for him to use it with his current cultivation. Han Xu's feet were already unsteady at this moment, and he felt as if the true essence in his body was instantly sucked dry.
This time, Black Cicada was also fully focused. He placed the bamboo leaf in his mouth and blew it. The Hell Moth Formation covered the sky and covered the earth as it surrounded the four of them. The Nangong Twins and Tang Wan 'er took advantage of the opportunity created by Han Xu. The three of them attacked at the same time. The blue, red, and white talismans activated the Thunder Fire Sky Water Formation and attacked Black Cicada's Hell Moth Formation.
"Hmph, I'll let you have a taste of my power!”
Because Black Cicada had seen the Thunder Fire Sky Water Formation, he seemed to be full of confidence. She retreated with Shan Yu, and the bamboo leaves made a high-pitched sound that became louder and louder. The formation of Nangong and the other two was so powerful that it instantly disintegrated the Hell Moth Formation and then attacked Black Cicada and the other two.
Black Cicada did not show any fear at all. The frequency of his tone gradually increased. Just as the two electric ropes were about to entangle Black Cicada, the three talismans in front of Nangong and the others actually fell one after another. Just as the three of them were puzzled, two electric ropes came at them like poisonous snakes. The three of them did not have time to guard against them. The electric ropes bypassed Han Xu's light wall and firmly bound the three of them. The fire also followed the electric ropes to the three of them and instantly knocked them unconscious.
Han Xu wanted to pull out to help, but the water vapor that filled the sky smashed into his light wall at the same time. Han Xu felt the True Qi in his body being blocked, and he spat out a mouthful of hot blood. The light wall shattered to the ground, and the Righteous Mirror lost its luster and fell to the ground.
Han Xu's entire body was already weak at this time. He had not felt this kind of true essence deficiency for a long time. He looked at the three people beside him. They had completely lost consciousness and were lying on the ground motionless.
"Hehe, you didn't expect that I would still have one move left, right? With the few of you at the Divine Transformation Realm and Void Transformation Realm, you want to contend with my 'Demonic Sound Twin Resonance'?”
Black Cicada's maniacal laughter echoed in Han Xu's ears. He wanted to get up and fight again, but he no longer had the strength to do so. He did not even have the chance to take out the brocade bag. Han Xu felt an unprecedented sense of despair. His consciousness gradually began to blur, and the light in front of him flickered.
