Chapter 866: Three and a Half People Walking in Liaoxuan
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
For the youth surnamed Feng and Xiang Lanyao, it seemed that this oriole was the woman named Yuedong.
At this moment, within the Great Canyon of Liaoxuan Prefecture, the mist churned violently, accompanied by constant rumbling. Sharp, shrill shrieks pierced through the mist, filled with misery and cruelty.
Until half an incense stick later, following the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground one after another, a storm suddenly erupted at the bottom of the canyon.
Sweeping across, the mist at the bottom of the canyon was instantly torn apart, as if an invisible palm were waving within, causing the dense mist here to rise upward, revealing what had originally been submerged by the mist—
the canyon floor.
It was a vast expanse of ruins!
Within the ruins were a large number of buildings with ancient styles; whether they were tall towers, streets, or residential houses, they were everywhere!
To be precise, this was a small city!
One could imagine that in the past, this place must have been inhabited by many living beings!
But now, most of the buildings here had collapsed, with very few remaining intact, and at the same time, the traces of erosion by alien substances were very clear!
However, there was not a single ancient corpse; there were only hundreds of corpses of two-headed strange birds dripping with blood, scattered within the ruins.
A few were not yet completely dead, struggling and wailing!
Subsequently, a figure rushed out from the mist above, landed in these ruins, and stood on the body of a struggling strange bird!
The moment he stepped down, the body of this strange bird went 'Boom' and directly
turned into blurred flesh and blood!
This person was the youth surnamed Feng!
Immediately following, two more figures were behind, also speeding and landing in an instant!
They were Xiang Lanyao and Xu Qing!
Gazing at the surrounding ruins, Xu Qing's expression remained as usual, but his inner vigilance grew. His gaze swept across the surroundings before looking at the Captain in the hands of the youth surnamed Feng.
The Captain remained unconscious!
Xu Qing silently withdrew his gaze and looked at those strange bird corpses!
Previously in the mist, the three of them were initially smooth, but they soon encountered attacks. The entities attacking them seemed capable of merging with the mist themselves!
Existing between reality and illusion, they were quite troublesome.
Xu Qing naturally would not go all out.
But clearly, the youth surnamed Feng was more anxious. He took out a five-colored feather fan, and with one wave, he actually forced most of the entities attacking them to reveal their forms and annihilated them, causing much of their flesh and blood to collapse!
Afterward, Xiang Lanyao also made a move, and with Xu Qing assisting on the side, they killed another hundred before rushing out of the mist!
Those attacking them were precisely these strange birds!
"While this world is filthy, it is indeed fraught with danger. Ordinary sparrows have actually mutated into this state under the erosion of divine aura!"
The youth surnamed Feng spoke gloomily!
"Fellow Daoist Lan, the journey ahead may have many such beasts. If you remain as you were just now, I fear our trip will be severely delayed, and by then... I fear other variables may arise!"
Having said this, the youth surnamed Feng looked toward Xu Qing!
"Additionally, Fellow Daoist Yan Xuanzi, if I am always charging at the front, encountering some troublesome existences, I cannot guarantee that I won't use your
Senior Brother as a shield!"
Cold light shot from Xu Qing's eyes as he stared at the youth surnamed Feng and spoke slowly!
"I would not mind continuing our previous life-and-death battle with you right here."
The youth surnamed Feng narrowed his eyes, and chilliness instantly radiated from his body, shrouding the surroundings, while the hand gripping the Captain's neck tightened a bit more.
On the Captain's side, his legs twitched, his expression one of pain!
Xu Qing's expression became even uglier!
Xiang Lanyao, on the side, noticed the hostility between the two and chuckled, stepping between them!
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Yan Xuanzi, you indeed didn't contribute much earlier, so it's no wonder Fellow Daoist Feng is dissatisfied."
"However, Fellow Daoist Feng, since everyone has chosen to cooperate, don't always act so overbearing!"
"How about this: if the road ahead is as troublesome as before, we shall all strike together; if not, then each person takes a turn."
Hearing this, the youth surnamed Feng snorted, his body flickered, and he flew forward!
But the hand gripping the Captain's neck loosened slightly, and the Captain's legs finally stopped twitching.
Xu Qing watched the back of the youth surnamed Feng without speaking, while Xiang Lanyao beside him gave Xu Qing a meaningful look!
"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Yan Xuanzi!"
Xu Qing understood that the two of them would not let him be at the back, just as it was in the mist earlier, so he stepped forward and flew ahead in silence!

Thus, the three of them traveled along, led by the youth surnamed Feng, moving above the ruined city!
However, they deliberately kept a distance of several hundred zhang from each other, especially the youth surnamed Feng, who was over a thousand zhang away!
As they moved forward, this ruined city was revealed more clearly to Xu Qing's eyes. He saw that among the buildings here, there were still a large number of withered trees, densely packed and numerous, though many were broken!
And at the edge of the city, countless roots penetrated deep into the rocks of the canyon!
It seemed that this city was built among the roots.
Xu Qing sketched a picture in his mind: in the past, there was clearly a giant tree here. This tree grew outside the canyon, perhaps capable of supporting the sky, or perhaps lush enough to form a canopy itself, with its roots spreading into the earth!
As for the location of this city, it must have been a cavern back then. One day, perhaps a great master with divine powers appeared, and with one strike, a gully appeared in the earth, thus creating this great canyon, and the cavern was exposed!
"Then what about that tree... perhaps it was relocated by the Liaoxuan clan, or perhaps it dissipated in the passage of time. However, the roots still have traces; even if the trunk dissipated, there should still be traces!"
"But there are no traces outside, so it is highly probable that it was relocated. As for the relocator... it was either the Liaoxuan or some clan in later generations."
Xu Qing was lost in thought. Regarding what the youth surnamed Feng said outside the canyon earlier, he naturally would not believe it. For unknown matters, Xu Qing's personality dictated that he only trusted his own observations and judgments.
Unless it was said by someone he trusted!
While pondering, Xu Qing's gaze fell on the buildings of the ruins. Looking at the style, this place was similar to human
culture, but some details were different!
This could also be understood: in the era of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou, the human race was the supreme clan of Wanggu, and all alien races instinctively imitated the human race,
taking this as their aesthetic!
Just as Xu Qing was observing, as they approached the center of the ruined city, a 'Boom' suddenly came from the youth surnamed Feng at the very front!
At the same time, a significant fluctuation spread instantly!
Xu Qing immediately focused, his body suddenly rising to a higher altitude, and Xiang Lanyao behind him made the same choice!
At this height, everything ahead was revealed more clearly to Xu Qing's eyes. In an instant, he noticed that in the center of the ruins, the earth, which had originally shown no changes, had actually sprouted a hideous giant face.
This face grew on the ground, seemingly hiding all along, which was why it hadn't been detected earlier. As the youth surnamed Feng flew over, it suddenly appeared, and a tongue full of rot extended to attack the youth surnamed Feng!
But its tongue was grabbed by the youth surnamed Feng. With the eruption of his Yun Shen cultivation, the youth surnamed Feng's body flickered, actually transforming into a five-colored peacock, and with a cold snort, he charged fiercely toward the giant face.
Amidst the rumbling, he pierced through this face!
The next instant, this clearly extraordinary strange beast was extremely fragile under the youth surnamed Feng's strike, directly collapsing!
After its body and spirit were destroyed, a deep pit was revealed in the earth where it had been!

And the figure of the youth surnamed Feng also transformed from the five-colored peacock back to his original form, standing there without stepping in, instead looking toward Xu Qing and Xiang Lanyao!
"It's your turn next!"
The youth surnamed Feng spoke indifferently!
Xiang Lanyao smiled, flickered, and rushed into the deep pit!
The youth surnamed Feng did not move, coldly watching Xu Qing!
Xu Qing did not say a word, also flying into the deep pit!
Seeing the two of them like this, the youth surnamed Feng finally stepped in last!
This deep pit was colder than the outside; the surrounding mud walls had crystallized, and as they went deeper, the cold air became thicker and pitch black!
However, the three of them were not ordinary cultivators; even if it were pitch black here, as their eyes flashed, they could all see clearly!
And this time, it was much smoother than before!
Until an incense stick later, there was still no danger. However, this pit was truly too deep; at their speed, even though they weren't sprinting at full power, after an incense stick of time, they still hadn't reached the bottom.
But smoothness was ultimately short-lived. When half of the second incense stick of time had passed, suddenly, petals radiated from Xiang Lanyao in front, spreading rapidly toward the surroundings!
These petals looked fragile, but each one contained terrifying power. The moment they spread, a rumbling sound immediately erupted, and a snake-like object flashed past Xiang Lanyao!
This object was clearly in hiding, wanting to ambush Xiang Lanyao, but Xiang Lanyao somehow detected it, and the exploding petals forced it out!
Now that its figure was revealed, its appearance was shocking!
It was not a snake, but a strange existence like an intestine, wriggling as it tried to escape.
But following a cold snort from Xiang Lanyao, the petals around it suddenly converged, actually transforming into a seven-colored peacock.
The horn on top of this peacock's head was actually white.
As a result, the colors appearing on this peacock became eight.
Whether it was the aura or the purity of the bloodline, it was clearly above the youth surnamed Feng, and by far too much.
Now that it had formed, it headed straight for that intestine!
Xu Qing watched this scene without assisting, but his heart stirred, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the youth surnamed Feng!
Upon this look, he saw a flash of greed in the eyes of the youth surnamed Feng that vanished in an instant.
And Xu Qing's sudden turning of his head caused the expression of the youth surnamed Feng to sink.
Xu Qing remained calm, withdrew his gaze, and while pondering in his heart, that eight-colored peacock shone brilliantly, directly approaching the strange intestine, tearing it apart, before returning to Xiang Lanyao's body!
Xiang Lanyao's figure paused, she turned around and looked at Xu Qing and the youth surnamed Feng with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, and finally, her gaze landed on Xu Qing, and she spoke softly: "Next... it's your turn!"
