Rong Jingyun sensed sothing amiss and noticed her husband's unusual movents behind her.
She quickly turned around, her expression anxious.
"Darling, why are you doing this? It's dangerous here; Let's escape quickly."
Heng Cheng looked back at his wife, his eyes filled with tenderness, yet his hand did not stop forming hand seals.
"Jingyun, you know very well that the two of us cannot escape together. Rather than falling into the hands of those demonic monks, it's better for one of us to live and leave."
As he spoke, a tall green figure suddenly appeared in front of Heng Cheng.
It was a giant demonic vine, with dozens of tendrils.
Each tendril was as thick as a human waist, covered in tiny scales that flickered with a faint green light.
They twisted and writhed like a group of enraged giant snakes.
With a fierce sound that broke the air, they lunged toward the three monks.
In the mont of attack, Heng Cheng turned around and shouted at his wife, who had paused her escape, hesitating.
"Go! You must survive and get out of this secret realm. Our son is still at ho waiting for us; he will take care of you."
Heng Cheng's tone was urgent, tinged with a sense of tragic loneliness.
As he spoke, dozens of tendrils, like furious giant pythons, lashed out at Jie Hui and the others.
The three slowed their chase.
"Unexpectedly, it's a spiritual plant-type demonic beast; interesting," Jie Hui said with a peculiar smile, stealthily moving behind Jie Wu and Jie Se.
Dealing with such a tough-skinned, mindless spiritual plant-type beast would be challenging with his evil Buddha secret technique, so he decided it was better to let the physically adept Jie Wu and the stealthy Jie Se take the lead.
Jie Wu unleashed the "Arhat Golden Body" secret technique, transforming into a towering giant.
With Jie Se activating his protective robe, fearless, he charged toward the demonic vine.
Jie Wu's muscles bulged, and under his golden skin, blue veins writhed like worms.
He swung his enormous fist down with the force of thunder, smashing into one of the demonic vines.
This punch gathered all his strength, and as his giant fist fell, powerful spiritual energy poured out, creating a massive shockwave that swept in all directions.
The demonic vine shattered into countless wooden splinters.
As soon as Jie Wu broke one vine, ten more surged from nearby, wrapping around him.
He kept swinging his arms, hamring down like iron hamrs.
With every attack, another vine was crushed.
Jie Se hid behind Jie Wu's sturdy fra, wielding a demon-slaying staff to clear away so of the vines that slipped through.
In an instant, nearly half of the vines had been destroyed.
Heng Cheng turned to look at Rong Jingyun, who still had not left, anxiety etched on his face.
"Why are you still here? Are you really going to perish with ?"
These demonic vines were unique to the Beastmaster Sect's Spirit Grass Peak, and Heng Cheng had only recently acquired them.
The vines possessed considerable strength, comparable to late-stage second-level demonic beasts. Because they lacked souls and intelligence, they fought recklessly, making them particularly difficult to deal with.
However, because they lacked intelligence, Heng Cheng had to personally control the demonic vines to attack, unlike other spiritual beasts that could attack on their own, allowing
their masters to escape.
Rong Jingyun looked at her husband, her eyes filled with affection.
"We entered this secret realm together as husband and wife, so we must leave together. How could I stand by and watch you sacrifice your life to save while I survive?"
"Indeed, love is deep and loyal. Since that's the case, you should both stay," Jie Hui's voice suddenly echoed.
Unbeknownst to them, he had circled around the vines and approached Heng Cheng closely.
Holding a human skin drum in his hand, he gently tapped it.
As Heng Cheng focused on controlling the vines while simultaneously talking to his wife, he montarily let his guard down.
His eyes widened in horror, filled with panic.
The situation was eerily similar to when Ji Ruxue had been controlled by the drum, causing
him to feel a profound terror that shattered his focus.
Without Heng Cheng's control, the demonic vine's attacks beca chaotic, with tendrils even tangling with one another.
Jie Wu and Jie Se easily broke through the blockade of vines and charged over.
"Darling, wake up!"
Rong Jingyun shouted in panic.
At the sa ti, she hurriedly activated the Fla Light Cauldron, pouring out a large
amount of blue spiritual flas toward Jie Hui and the others.
Amid Rong Jingyun's cries, Heng Cheng's mind snapped back to reality.
His consciousness had just returned from the illusion, only to see a demon-slaying staff
piercing through the blue flas, aid at his chest.
Heng Cheng was filled with dread; the demon-slaying staff was now just inches away, and there was no ti for him to mobilize his spiritual energy to resist.
He could only pour all his strength into forming a spiritual energy shield.
However, a late-stage Foundation Establishnt practitioner's shield couldn't possibly withstand a full-force strike from a peak Foundation Establishnt practitioner.
The demon-slaying staff pierced through his chest, passing completely through him.
Heng Cheng was propelled backward by the force of the staff, landing near Rong Jingyun.
Rong Jingyun caught Heng Cheng and saw a fist-sized hole in his left chest.
His entire heart had been shattered.
Thanks to the powerful physical abilities of a Foundation Establishnt practitioner, he
barely clung to life.
Lying in Rong Jingyun's arms, Heng Cheng gazed at her face, his eyes filled with reluctance
and longing.
His mouth opened slightly, wanting to say sothing.
But no words ca out, only a large amount of blood foam spilled from his mouth.
Rong Jingyun's face was filled with heartache. She raised her hand, retrieving a purple spiritual mushroom.
It was the purple cloud mushroom, a precious third-level spiritual dicine, which had been
used by Fang Pengyi during the final stage of Song Wen's human-snake transformation to
sustain the last flicker of life.
TL: Purple Cloud Mushroom, previously translated as Ziyun Mushroom
Rong Jingyun stuffed the purple cloud mushroom directly into the wound on Heng Cheng's
chest.
Then, she poured a stream of spiritual energy to help refine the mushroom.
"Don't speak, just rest; I will definitely take you out of here."
Rong Jingyun looked into her husband's eyes, her expression exceptionally resolute.
Heng Cheng's eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Rong Jingyun waved her hand, summoning the Fla Light Cauldron.
She placed Heng Cheng's body inside the cauldron.
Then, stepping onto her flying sword, she soared into the air.
With Heng Cheng no longer a burden, Rong Jingyun's speed increased significantly.
Jie Hui and the others were montarily blocked by the blue spiritual flas.
Rong Jingyun quickly widened the gap between herself and the three.
The vast cavern of the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid Hall had only one exit-the one
they had entered from.
Ahead of Rong Jingyun, there were several people.
Leading the escape was Song Wen.
Following him was Lei Yuhua.
Next were Mu Yunxin and Xue Gu, who were pursuing Lei Yuhua, trying to seize the Ten
Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid in his possession.
Finally, there was Feng Qi, who had gained nothing.
Rong Jingyun knew that these people ahead were not to be trifled with.
She decided not to continue fleeing toward the exit but instead headed down toward the cliff's
edge at the cavern's periphery.
The cliff was bottomless, and no one knew where it led or if it would allow them to escape the
cave.
The practitioners who had entered the cave previously had not brought any relevant
information.
However, at that mont, Rong Jingyun had no choice but to take the risk.
Even if there were no exits down the cliff, all she needed was to find a hidden place to hide.
Given the limited range of spiritual perception in the secret realm, it wouldn't be easy for Jie
Hui and the others to find her.
