Chapter 498: Knocked Away
The voice echoed in the two people's hearts. When Mu Yunxi heard it, a trace of astonishment flashed across her eyes for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure, nodded slightly, and indicated with her eyes that she understood.
Gu Li followed Ye Zhufeng, Fang Xingyan and others, exploring along the winding mountain roads, but they still couldn't find the mysterious cave they mentioned.
The surrounding scenery became increasingly desolate, with overgrown weeds and jagged rocks.
Gu Li suddenly stopped and said solemnly, "Wait a moment."
Fang Xingyan turned her head in confusion, her eyes fell on Gu Li's face, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around carefully, and said slowly: "We are still where we are."
Hearing her words, the others became alert instantly as if they were struck by an invisible force.
Ye Zhufeng clenched the weapon in his hand and looked around vigilantly, his eyes revealing tension and uneasiness.
Mu Yunxi said, "Shall I try using the teleportation array?"
Gu Li nodded: "Okay."
Mu Yunxi quickly took out the teleportation array that had been set up earlier from the space. It was a circular magic array composed of complex runes, emitting a faint light.
She took a deep breath and continuously input spiritual energy into it, trying to activate it.
However, the teleportation array seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and did not respond at all.
Mu Yunxi's expression turned a little ugly: "This space is locked."
Gu Li frowned, turned to look at the Nine Infants in his body, and asked softly: "Nine Infants, do you have a way to get out?"
Jiuying's voice rang in her mind: "Yes, I do, but it's easy for Qilin to detect my presence."
After hearing this, Gu Li frowned even more tightly. She did not speak again, but fell into deep thought.
Jiuying seemed to sense her worry and continued, "I'll take you out. It's okay even if it senses my presence. It can't get out beyond a certain range."
Gu Li thought for a moment, looked at Jiuying and asked, "Are you sure you can leave here completely?"
Jiuying pondered for a moment and said, "You can give it a try."
Gu Li glanced at Ye Zhufeng and the others, thinking secretly in his heart.
Ye Zhufeng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. Just when he was about to ask what was wrong, he saw her suddenly raise her hand, and a cloud of powder floated in the air with the wind.
Everyone was caught off guard and inhaled the powder. Then their heads felt heavy and they lost consciousness.
Mu Yunxi looked at Gu Li in surprise and asked, "Ah Li, why did you knock them out?"
Gu Li explained softly: "Jiuying will take us away."
After hearing this, Mu Yunxi suddenly realized.
She understood that Jiuying was Gu Li's biggest trump card, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Gu Li called softly: "Jiuying!"
A faint light emanated from her body, becoming brighter and brighter, and then a tall figure slowly emerged from the light, emitting a powerful aura that made people shudder.
The moment Jiuying came out, Gu Li clearly felt that the air pressure around him was even lower, as if there was an invisible pressure oppressing them.
Jiuying said solemnly: "Qilin has noticed something is wrong, we need to leave as soon as possible."
Gu Li turned to look at Xiao Teng Teng beside him and said, "Xiao Teng Teng, take them with you."
Xiao Teng Teng responded cheerfully: "No problem."
As it spoke, it quickly grew five tough vines, which firmly circled the five unconscious people on the ground.
Seeing that everything was ready, Jiuying reached out and pulled Gu Li and Mu Yunxi.
The small vine was tightly wrapped around Gu Li's waist, and there were several other people at the other end of the vine.
Jiuying activated his powerful spiritual power, with light flashing all around him, and flew rapidly forward.
It was moving so fast that the wind whistled past my ears and the scenery on both sides retreated like lightning.
Not long after, Gu Li felt that they seemed to have passed through an invisible barrier, and the surrounding scenery changed instantly.
In the blink of an eye, they left the mysterious valley and came to a vast plain.
Seeing that it had succeeded, Xiao Teng Teng shook its vines happily, and then gently placed Ye Zhufeng and the other five people on the ground. Then, like little pets that were attached to their owner, it swiftly wrapped itself around Gu Li's wrist again and stayed there quietly.
Gu Li looked at the unfamiliar plain in front of him and muttered to himself: "Here..."
Before she could finish her words, the space behind her suddenly seemed to be torn apart by a pair of invisible hands, and a glaring crack suddenly appeared.
A dark blue force carrying an icy breath, like a giant beast with bared fangs and claws, stretched out in an instant, directly and tightly wrapped around Jiuying's waist, and then exerted force suddenly, dragging him into the mysterious crack.
"Jiuying!" Gu Li and Mu Yunxi exclaimed at the same time, their faces full of fear and worry.
This change happened too suddenly and was completely beyond their expectations.
Gu Li reacted extremely quickly. He tapped the ground lightly with his feet and instantly appeared behind Jiuying like a flash of black lightning.
She quickly formed seals with her hands, and the rich spiritual power gathered and compressed in her palms, and in the blink of an eye it turned into an extremely sharp spiritual sword.
She clenched her teeth, her almond-shaped eyes filled with determination, and used all her strength to chop at the blue force.
The moment the spiritual sword came into contact with the blue power, it was as if a small bomb was detonated. An extremely powerful impact erupted wildly in all directions, centered on the point of contact.
The surrounding air was instantly distorted and made a buzzing sound.
Mu Yunxi was unable to dodge and was directly knocked away by the impact force. After drawing an arc in the air, she fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Gu Li's situation was not much better. She was blown far away by the force until she hit the ground with a "bang" and stopped.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her clothes became tattered, looking very miserable.
Jiuying turned his head and looked at Gu Li, who was bleeding from all seven orifices and extremely weak. His originally stern expression suddenly became terrifyingly gloomy, and the aura around him became violent.
"How dare you hurt my people?" He roared, his voice like thunder, shaking the surrounding ground slightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a devastating force burst out from his body, and that force was surging like a raging tsunami.
Under the impact of this force, the blue shackles wrapped around his waist were shattered into pieces and turned into countless blue light spots that dissipated in the air.
With him as the center, the surrounding ground seemed to be lifted up by a giant hand, and pieces of soil were thrown into the air. The scene was very shocking.
After Jiuying successfully broke free from the restraint of that power, he didn't even have time to shake off the dust raised by the explosion of power. He immediately turned into a residual shadow and quickly came to Gu Li and Mu Yunxi.
