Chapter 110: What Is That?

The power of two high‑level fire talismans, even though they are low‑grade talismans, equals one‑tenth of the power used for Golden Core formation.

At the instant they collided, both dodged swiftly, yet the river water surged and rose dozens of zhang, and the innocent Brother Yang somehow failed to evade.

The violently thrown river water slammed back into the water.

Jiang Yu was about to clash with Xue Miao's flying‑sword attack, when Jiang Tu suddenly exclaimed, "That person was teleported away underwater by something."

Clang clang, Jiang Yu's spiritual sword blocked Xue Miao's blade, but her divine consciousness shifted underwater, and Brother Yang was no longer seen.

"Go down and check, don't actually get into trouble." The other had just helped stop the conflict; she really can't be as indifferent as Xue Miao, caring not at all about others.

However, the instant Jiang Tu plunged into the river, Xue Miao hurled another high‑level fire talisman, determined that this mysterious turtle must pay a price.

Jiang Yu fulfilled her wish by launching a mid‑level superior water talisman, slamming it toward the massive fireball.

"Seeking death!" At the same time, Jiang Tu channeled his magical force, raising the river water several zhang, and rushed it toward Xue Miao with a roar.

Xue Miao quickly opened an umbrella to hold back the water curtain, but the previously reliable defensive tool shattered rapidly under Jiang Tu's water attack.

Moreover, she herself was swept up by the falling river water; in a flash of water light, she vanished instantly.

"What the hell?" Jiang Yu clearly saw a very strange water spirit energy in the water, wrapping around the person and teleporting them away.

Jiang Tu floated on the surface, blinking several times, about to speak, when a pillar of light suddenly shot out of the water, lifting him about ten zhang.

Then it snapped back down; Jiang Yu saw another water spirit energy surge toward Jiang Tu, and immediately swooped to embrace it.

After that, there was no afterword; she and Jiang Tu followed Brother Yang's trail, getting swept into an underwater teleportation.

But unlike before, that light that rose skyward kept extending upward.

Then, after a group of cultivators in Fu City saw it from afar, they swooped toward it with a whoosh.

About a dozen sword‑wielding cultivators flew away, once again sparking the gossip in Fu City.

In another direction, Xia Bing led three Foundation‑establishment cultivators toward this spot; one of them couldn't help but say, "Sister Xia, what is that?"

"It seems close to the location Jiang Yu reported."

Another said, "It can't be just one place, can it?"

"I'll go ahead." Xia Bing no longer accommodated the three, and accelerated at the speed of a flying sword beneath her feet.

In fact, this was not a simple flying sword, but the one Xia Bing selected from the Sword Pool of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

She instantly flew to the front of the pillar of light; after circling it several times without discerning its nature, she saw a group of cultivators flying in from afar.

"Cultivator Xia, what are you doing?" a young, handsome Foundation‑establishment cultivator of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect shouted, rushing toward her.

At the same time, he didn't forget to launch a strand of spiritual energy toward the pillar of light that already towered into the clouds.

"Impossible." As soon as Xia Bing finished speaking, the two of them were simultaneously enveloped by the expanding pillar of light and vanished before everyone's eyes.

"Sister Xia!"

"Junior Brother Dai?"

Both sides' forces arrived at the same time, and even some who overshot surged up the pillar of light.

But the result was that the pillar of light quivered lightly and vanished, while the person remained where they were.

"Why are you hesitating? Dive in and look." Someone said, and several Foundation‑establishment cultivators rushed into the river.

However, all that could be seen was water; there wasn't a single person.

These people hurried to report the news to their respective sects, and soon, Sui Lv Zhenjun at the temple where Jiang Tu resided, along with several newly arrived Nascent Soul cultivators, all received word that Xia Bing had been swept into an unknown place.

Sui Lv Zhenjun immediately contacted Jiang Yu, but found that no reply had ever come, and there was also no message from Jiang Tu.

He could no longer sit still, "Everyone, uncovering these two's past is no longer the top priority; rescuing them and finding the true culprit is the correct course of action."

"Young disciple, request rescue; I'll go ahead first." Each of them was just tugging at the Great Monk to inquire about the Outer Immortal Realm, but accomplishing nothing here.

Searching for souls is impossible, and breaking the divine soul seal is even more delusional.

Only a few—one or two—who constantly care for their own disciples, keep staring at the message jade, "This one, though costly, but …"

"Poor monk will go with you." Master Liao Wu was also annoyed by the questioning.

Xue Qi Zhenjun even made the two rise in a concealment light first; his granddaughter, unaware of what happened, remained unreachable.

And Jiang Yu, along with Brother Yang and a few others, because no one saw them, still didn't know that several people had also fallen into the river.

But as soon as Xia Bing was teleported into a valley, she saw Jiang Yu walking with Jiang Tu beneath pear‑blossom trees.

But where was the Cultivator Dai of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect just now?

"Sister Jiang?" Xia Bing shouted loudly, but Jiang Yu seemed not to hear, looking east and west, occasionally bending down to pick up stones.

Xia Bing immediately sensed something wrong, lunged toward the pear tree, and an invisible barrier repelled her from that spot.

In reality, at that shout, Jiang Yu seemed to sense something, but looking around, this inescapable orchard was inhabited only by her as a human.

"Jiang Tu, did you hear Sister Xia's voice?"

"No, if I want to see her, I must quickly finish gathering all the Thunder Mother Stones in this area."

"You say, the ones in the cave—could someone have deliberately moved them from here?"

"I don't know which path of immortals it really is." As soon as Jiang Tu finished speaking, he saw Xue Miao stumble and run over.

And once again he produced a fire talisman, "Jiang Yu? Are you real or fake? What place is this?"

"Fake." Jiang Yu was speechless; they entered one after another, and she had no idea where they were.

"Hey, where is your senior brother?" Jiang Tu stared at her sword, wondering if she would kill him.

"Shut up!" Xue Miao glared at it, a seventh‑grade spirit beast still trying to dominate the human race in vain.

Jiang Tu: "Lah lah lah, I'll say whatever I want to say."

"You also have the Nascent Soul granddaughter, heading to the secret land, not knowing to hurry and snatch the treasure."

"Hmph! Jiang Yu, if you see my senior brother, tell him I was here." After speaking, Xue Miao, regardless of whether Jiang Yu should respond, turned and went to find a way out.

Jiang Tu shook his head and muttered, "She deserved it; everyone told her there were good things on the ground, watching you pick them up without even glancing, Thunder Mother Stones are rare and cannot be sought."

"Stop mocking, hurry and collect with me, lest more people come in." Jiang Yu had a premonition that more would fall.

So she quickened her pace picking up round stones, and didn't forget to let Jiang Tu catch up.

The two Jiangs swept across several mu of orchard; after finishing picking up the stones, they still didn't run into Xue Miao or anyone else.

They tried to walk out of the orchard, then a large expanse of demonic and yin qi came rushing at them; Jiang Yu suddenly saw her parents in the flood and struggled to lead her siblings swimming.

Unexpectedly, another flood surge came; the young Jiang Yu and her elder brother were swept away, and though the parents desperately tried to grab them, they only managed to catch the eldest brother, Jiang Du.

Jiang Du!

That name flashed through her mind, and Jiang Yu instantly came to her senses; beside her ear was Jiang Tu's startled cry: "He's here too, Jiang Yu, wake up quickly."

"Awake, don't worry." Before her eyes there was no demonic qi, only clumps of black mist.

Jiang Yu patted it to soothe it, quickly thickened the protective spiritual light on her body, and took a calming pill sublingually.

In a flash, she arrived near the prone Jiang Du, and a large net was instantly flung out to trap people.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Du woke up just then, rolled on the spot, and was about to slap an escape talisman to leave.
