Chapter 654

"We actually escaped alive?" Xiao Xinghai still had lingering fears and couldn't believe it. This was the East Sea's mobile natural disaster; it was said that the chance of escaping from a mirage was less than ten percent, and the chance of escaping safe and sound was less than one percent.

What kind of secret treasure did Lu Yang have that it was so effective at pointing the way?

Tao Yaoye's cultivation realm had fallen back to the mid Nascent Soul stage, her aura weak; even taking Qi-replenishing pills didn't help.

Seeing Tao Yaoye so weak she was about to collapse, Lu Yang hurriedly supported her, asking with concern: "How are you?"

As he spoke, Lu Yang wanted to take out elixirs to treat Tao Yaoye's injuries.

Tao Yaoye shook her head gently, her voice very faint: "This is a side effect of using the Feathering Immortal Body. Taking elixirs won't work; I need to rest quietly for a few days to recover on my own."

"Where have we run to?" Meng Jingzhou tried to find landmarks, but unfortunately, the sea surface was empty, with only drifting patches of thick fog.

"Wait a moment."

Xiao Xinghai stuck his head into the sea, then lifted it up and wiped his face: "This below is the territory of the Ying Fish tribe, which is considered an affiliated race of our Kunpeng tribe. I'm quite familiar with them."

Just as Xiao Xinghai was about to lead the group into the sea, he saw several hundred-zhang-long Kunpeng flying over from the distance, shouting and calling out, their words revealing excitement and joy.

"Young Master, you've come out safely!"

"Uncle Kun, Uncle Yue, why are you here?" Xiao Xinghai recognized the arrivals; they were both his father's trusted aides, so he stopped being vigilant.

"It's because the Clan Leader heard that you and the distinguished guests had been swallowed by the mirage, so he ordered the two of us to track the mirage so we could keep track of your movements at any time."

These two Kunpeng tribe elders hadn't dared to get too close to the mirage and had been observing closely from a distance.

"Let's go, let's head back. The Clan Leader is so anxious he's gone to block the door of the Mirage tribe. If he knew you had returned safely, there's no telling how happy he would be."

Originally, Uncle Kun and Uncle Yue had wanted to take out healing elixirs for Lu Yang and the others to take, but when they saw Lu Yang and the others pouring out various elixirs with pill patterns and pill fragrance from their bottles, they dismissed the idea.

The group returned safely, and Clan Leader Xiao was overjoyed; he hadn't expected them to be able to leave the mirage, nor that no one had gone mad.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Clan Leader Xiao arranged accommodations for everyone and let them have a good rest.

Late at night, Lu Yang broke out of his meditative state—or more accurately, he had been immersed in cultivation and was awakened by the Immortal Fairy calling him with her tail.

"Let's go, let's go, the ruins haven't drifted far yet," the Immortal Fairy said excitedly.

Although the Kunpeng tribe didn't need to sleep, they were all accustomed to cultivating at night, so there weren't many people outside right now, making it the perfect opportunity for covert action.

Lu Yang piloted the Sword-Washing Pool and, following the direction pointed out by the Immortal Fairy, flew out of the Kunpeng tribe and soon found the thick fog drifting aimlessly.

Suddenly, Lu Yang broke free from the Immortal Fairy's bewitchment and realized the problem.

"Wait a minute, there are quite a few Integration stage cultivators in there. Isn't going in just asking for death?"

"What a thing to say. With this Immortal here, could I let you get into trouble? Just now there were too many people, so some methods were inconvenient to use. As long as this Immortal releases a tiny bit of Immortal Might, that bunch of zombies will definitely not dare to come over."

"That's good then." Lu Yang was once again bewitched by the Immortal Fairy.

Lu Yang felt a very comfortable power adhering to his skin. He felt it carefully, but couldn't sense anything at all.

He entered the Immortal battlefield ruins, and under the blessing of the Immortal Might, he truly didn't encounter any zombies controlled by the Dao Fruit along the way.

If Lu Yang could see the scene around him, he would know that it wasn't that he hadn't encountered zombies, but that the zombies were so scared they ran far away as soon as they got close to Lu Yang.

"Is it daytime here?" Lu Yang entered the Immortal battlefield ruins and suddenly felt a whiteness before his eyes; it was a white, hazy thick fog, as if even darkness couldn't get close to this place.

"That's normal. Don't look at it as if you can see this patch of thick fog from the outside; in reality, this is a small world isolated from the outside, far larger than the thick fog you see from the outside."

"Tsk, they fought intensely enough; nothing was left behind." The Immortal Fairy was slightly dissatisfied. The Qilin Immortal and the opponent had fought too intensely, and everything around them had turned into dust and nothingness. Now, it was impossible to determine where they were or why they had started fighting.

"No, there's something over there. Go deeper." The Immortal Fairy commanded, and Lu Yang obediently walked inside.

The deepest part was the location where the battle had been most intense, filled with Dao Fruit traces. Even Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators wouldn't dare to get close or look directly at this place.

"To the right, yes, right here."

Lu Yang followed the Immortal Fairy's instructions and squatted on the ground to pick up a jade bracelet.

The jade bracelet's texture was delicate like congealed fat, resembling a bright, clear moon, crystalline and translucent, with a lifelike dragon engraved on it.

"This is the Dragon-Pattern Bracelet; it's Xiao Ling's thing," the Immortal Fairy said in surprise.

"Back then, the Qilin Immortal asked the Ying Tian Immortal to refine two Immortal artifacts: one was the jade flute that Lianyi often played, and the other was the Dragon-Pattern Bracelet that Xiao Ling wore on her wrist."

It was precisely because it was an Immortal artifact that it could survive the battle.

"How could Xiao Ling's thing be here? This is her favorite thing; she only takes it off when she's sleeping... I see the Qilin Immortal's moves were mainly defensive. Could it be that an Immortal from the Salary Fire Dynasty wanted to wipe out Xiao Ling, and the Qilin Immortal fought a great battle with him because of it?"

The Immortal Fairy muttered; if that were the case, everything would make sense.

Although Ao Ling was the strongest Half-Immortal, she was still no match for an Immortal. The Immortal from the Salary Fire Dynasty wanted to wipe her out, and she was hard-pressed to fend him off.

The Qilin Immortal arrived in time, fought a great battle with the opponent, and destroyed everything.

During the battle, Xiao Ling's Dragon-Pattern Bracelet was left here.

"Fairy, since Senior Ao Ling is also a Half-Immortal, she must have used the 'Feigning Death Technique' to endure the long passage of time in order to see you, right?"

"Correct."

"Then do you think it's possible that this is the place where Senior Ao Ling was sleeping?"

The Immortal Fairy gave a start: "That's it! It wasn't that Xiao Ling was no match for the opponent, but that the opponent took advantage of the time Xiao Ling was sleeping to kill her!"

Lu Yang suddenly remembered something the Daoist of Ten Thousand Laws had said: the Daoist of Ten Thousand Laws had a close friend who, because they knew of the existence of the Salary Fire Dynasty, was killed by an Immortal while they were sleeping!

How similar were these methods!

Lu Yang asked cautiously: "Fairy, do you think Senior Ao Ling might have..."

The Immortal Fairy shook her head and said firmly: "Impossible. The Dragon-Pattern Bracelet has the function of resisting an Immortal's attacks. Even if Xiao Ling took the bracelet off, if Xiao Ling were attacked by an Immortal, the bracelet could still automatically protect its master."

"Although the bracelet's energy is exhausted now, it hasn't shattered, which shows that although Xiao Ling encountered danger, it was all blocked by the bracelet. It should be that the Qilin Immortal transferred Xiao Ling to another place."

"Originally, I could have tracked Xiao Ling's location through the Dragon-Pattern Bracelet, but the Qilin Immortal severed the connection between the Dragon-Pattern Bracelet and Xiao Ling. The method of severing it was very clean; it wasn't done with brute force. Only the Qilin Immortal and the Ying Tian Immortal who refined the bracelet could do this, and there are no traces of the Ying Tian Immortal fighting here, which shows that the only one fighting here was the Qilin Immortal."

"This shows that the Qilin Immortal didn't want anyone to find Xiao Ling through the bracelet."
