"Did you succeed?"
Seeing the green peak of the Sword Sect's spirit, Donkey Ruhua revealed a faint smile.
"That's it?" Qin Shi lowered his head to take a look and asked curiously.
"Yes."
Donkey Ruhua nodded. "Alright, I'm going in. Don't call for me before we leave the sealed area tomorrow. Otherwise, don't blame me for settling old scores with you!"
After saying that, Donkey Ruhua waved her fist at Qin Shi and pretended to be threatening him. Only then did she snort and turn into a faint fluorescent light. With a whoosh, she entered the green peak of the Sword Sect's spirit.
After Donkey Ruhua disappeared, Qin Shi curled his lips in disapproval. "Why are you so fierce? What a strange woman."
After everything was done, Qin Shi raised his head to look at the night sky. It wasn't long until daybreak, and he didn't plan to continue cultivating. He simply stood up and looked around from the high and cold cliff, but his heart was filled with all sorts of emotions.
"Hehe, little guy, feeling emotional again?"
Qin Shi let out a long sigh. "That's right. After leaving this place, I'm afraid that the road ahead will be more difficult than the one before. I wonder when I'll be able to live such a comfortable life again."
Hearing this, the demon also felt a little sad. In the end, it softly advised, "Who told you to choose? For the sake of that obsession, persevere."
"Yes, Group Jie … Our final battle is about to begin!" Qin Shi's black eyes were as deep as the stars in the night sky. He secretly made up his mind.
The next morning.
The first ray of sunlight from the east shone on the earth. It was as if all the sleeping lives had been awakened. Vitality rose from the entire sealed area.
A mottled light penetrated through the branches and leaves and shone on Qin Shi's body. The warm feeling made him stretch his back. It was very comfortable.
"Time to go!"
Qin Shi smiled faintly. When he turned around, Sword Intent and the others had already walked out of the tent and gathered behind him. He turned around and asked, "Is everyone ready?"
"Yes!" the representative of the Sword Will replied.
"Then let's go."
Qin Shi nodded his head in satisfaction. Soon after, he turned around and looked at the Land of Initial Awareness in the sealed grounds. However, just as he was about to set off, he frowned. A few extremely strong and familiar auras appeared behind him.
He suddenly became vigilant and turned around.
Six blazing gazes met his eyes. When he saw the owners of the six gazes clearly, he subconsciously felt a little surprised. "It's them?"
"Shi Tou, what happened?"
Sword Intent and the others had never cultivated their sea of wisdom before. Naturally, their powers of observation were not as strong as Qin Shi's. Thus, they asked curiously.
Wasn't the Cerberus hiding in the forest looking at Qin Shi?
Beside Cerberus were Sanniang Yue Yao, the Skeletal Winged Dragon, and many other vicious beasts from the Beast Realm. From their eyes, Qin Shi could faintly sense reluctance, loss, and dependence.
He seemed to have seen those gazes before. To be precise, he had just seen them last night. Wasn't that the same gaze that Donkey Ruhua had when she first found him?
Suddenly, Qin Shi understood why Donkey Ruhua had said not to disturb her when they left the sealed grounds. Presumably, this was the reason?
"Even berserk beasts have feelings."
Qin Shi let out a long sigh. The relationship between Donkey Ruhua and these ferocious beasts had always been that of a slave. However, they had lived together for decades, or even centuries. Now that they were going to be separated, how could he not feel sad?
"Take good care of her …!" A deep voice sounded in Qin Shi's ears.
Qin Shi and Cerberus looked at each other and nodded gently. Then, he turned around and shook his head at Sword Intent. "It's nothing. Let's go."
This time, he did not hesitate. He strode out of the sealed grounds with his head held high.
Along the way, the three-headed Cerberus and the other ferocious beasts protected Qin Shicong on both sides. Therefore, not a single ferocious beast appeared. Soon, everyone arrived at the exit of the Destitution Array.
However, Qin Shi did not let them enter directly. Instead, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Sword Intent. "Give me the token. I'll lead the team this time."
Sword Intent hesitated. If it was before, he would definitely not allow it. However, after spending so much time together, he also understood that letting Qin Shi lead the team was the safest method. He rubbed his hand in his pocket and handed the token to Qin Shi.
After receiving the token, Qin Shi shouted, "Follow me closely."
Everyone lined up properly. Only then did Qin Shi feel at ease as he activated the medallion. When he did so, he was astonished to discover that this medallion was controlled by his Soul Force. With his current Soul Force, he was able to open up a space that was ten times larger than his Sword Intent. This allowed everyone to have a much easier time within it, effortlessly breaking through. Under Qin Shi's lead, everyone broke through three formations.
When they arrived at the outermost layer of the Mist Formation, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that they were about to leave the sealed grounds, everyone was full of smiles.
"We're finally out!"
As soon as they broke through the barrier, everyone took a deep breath. One by one, they grabbed the soil on the ground and shouted excitedly.
"Everyone has worked hard. I'm sorry for the trouble we've caused these two months." Qin Shi cupped his fists at everyone sincerely.
Sword Intent and the others hurriedly stopped him. "Shi Tou, what are you saying? We should be grateful to you. It's because of you that our strength has improved by leaps and bounds in the past two months."
"Yeah, I'm about to reach the Domain Realm. Once I reach the Domain Realm, I'll have the opportunity to participate in the annual disciple competition. Shi Tou, when the time comes, we'll have a showdown."
"You? Stop joking. Shi Tou gave you a handicap with both hands. You can't even touch him."
"I'm just joking." The disciple scratched his head in a simple and honest manner.
Qin Shi smiled faintly. "Alright, it's a deal. We'll see each other at the annual disciple competition!"
"Shi Tou, do your best in the Talisman Demon Competition. Bring back the championship for our Sword Sect!"
"Yes, we're all waiting for your good news!"
Everyone was in a heated discussion. Qin Shi's black eyes were also filled with determination. He nodded his head vigorously. He really had to win the championship in the Talisman Demon Competition.
"Hahaha!
Brat, you're finally out! "
Suddenly, a clear laughter reverberated down from the sky. A withered figure stepped on the clouds and arrived. The ten meter long sword on Feng Sha's back was still as eye-catching as ever. It landed heavily beside Qin Shi.
"Senior Feng Sha!" Seeing Feng Sha, Sword Intent and the others hurriedly bowed.
"Alright, alright. There's no need to bow."
Feng Sha stroked his beard and laughed wildly. He waved his hand to stop Sword Intent and the others. Then, he glanced at Qin Shi. When he sensed the strong aura around Qin Shi, he was slightly stunned. Then, he let out a ghostly howl. "This power, is it at the peak of the Incantation Peak?
Brat, you've broken through to the peak of the Incantation Peak! "
Qin Shi scratched his head. "Yes, I accidentally broke through."
"I-I accidentally?"
Feng Sha's face turned green when he heard this. He shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You little brat, do you know that many Talisman Magicians might not be able to reach your level even after decades, or even hundreds of years? In the end, in the end, you accidentally broke through?"
Qin Shi smiled awkwardly. He didn't linger on this topic and went straight to the point. "There are only four days left until the Talisman Demon Competition. When do we leave?"
"The Sect Master and the Elders have already opened the space tunnel to the Chaotic Realm. We're just waiting for you. Now that you're out, we can leave at any time," Feng Sha said solemnly.
Qin Shi nodded his head. Shortly after, he gestured towards Sword Intent and the others. Sword Intent and the others understood tacitly. After bidding farewell to Qin Shi and Feng Sha, they said a few words of good wishes and anticipation before leaving.
When everyone was far away, Qin Shi said to Feng Sha, "Let's go too."
"There's no rush."
Feng Sha shook his head. Then, his old eyes narrowed into slits. He put his arm around Qin Shi's shoulder and walked to a corner. He rubbed his old hands and said, "Quick, little one, let me see what you've gained in the past two months."
"What gains?" Qin Shi was stunned.
"What gains?" Feng Sha roared and stretched out his hand. "The Devil Talisman, of course it's the Devil Talisman!
You've reached the peak of the Incantation Peak. You should have at least a few thousand Devil Talismans, right?
Even if you don't have a few thousand, at least a thousand. Don't tell me you don't have any. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting angry! "
"Uh …!"
Qin Shi suddenly remembered that he had an agreement with Feng Sha previously … However, he really did not have the Wraith Talisman now. He said awkwardly, "About this … I do have a few hundred, but I really don't have a thousand!"
"Impossible!
Don't try to fool me. Take it out quickly. Are you afraid that I can't pay you?
Don't worry, the Sect Master and I have already applied. As long as you give me the Devil Talisman, I will immediately transfer the points to you. Moreover, the value will be much higher than the outside world! "
"No, it's not about the points. The problem is that I really don't have them!" Qin Shi spread his hands helplessly.
Feng Sha's old face immediately sank.
Seeing this, Qin Shi hurriedly explained, "Listen to me first, listen to me first."
"You better give me a reasonable explanation!" Feng Sha snorted coldly impatiently.
Qin Shi had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell Feng Sha everything that had happened in the sealed area. Of course, he secretly concealed the fact that he had brought Donkey Ruhua out of the sealed area.
After all, the Sword Sect strictly forbade disciples from bringing out ferocious beasts from the sealed area. Moreover, Qin Shi still couldn't see through Donkey Ruhua's cultivation. If this old man knew about it and wanted him to be the Divine Guardian Beast, wouldn't he lose more than he gained?
After all, although Donkey Ruhua was a little annoying, he was still a powerful help to him.
When he heard that Qin Shi was cultivating in the Soul Starry Sky Array, Feng Sha gradually believed it. However, he couldn't hide his disappointed expression no matter what.
Qin Shi felt a little guilty and could only persuade him from the side, "Alright, at most, after the Talisman Demon Competition, I will help the Sword Sect refine three thousand Devil Talismans for free."
"Are you serious?" Feng Sha's expression changed dramatically. He stared at Qin Shi with a face full of joy.
