After a moment, Mu Zihuai belatedly asked, "Feng Xi, did you just say you dispersed that previous tribulation lightning???"
Ling Qianting and the others also had faces full of confusion.
They only knew that Feng Xi had broken through. Before they could ask for details, Lu Xiuhan's matter had erupted, so they had no idea of her glorious achievements.
Feng Xi nodded, "En, I used the tribulation lightning's power to break through. Afterward, seeing that it had no further use, I dispersed it.
It's just useless garbage, I slapped it once and it was gone."
Mu Zihuai: "..."
Ling Qianting and the others: "..."
No wonder Lu Xiuhan lost so miserably!
Hello? That Feng Xi was a Heaven-grade Foundation Establishment!
What could he possibly use to compete with her?!
However, everyone's greater concern now was on how to escape.
Although there seemed to be no immediate danger, who knew what might happen next? They needed to find a way out quickly.
But no matter how they racked their brains, they couldn't find a solution.
Suddenly, Feng Xi took out a talisman and stuffed it into the unconscious Lu Xiuhan's hand.
It was a Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman. Last time, she relied on it to escape from Hunyuan Sect's treasure vault.
The reason that she had Lu Xiuhan test it out was very simple, it wouldn't matter if something went wrong. If he died, then he died.
After she activated the talisman with spiritual power, Lu Xiuhan instantly disappeared on the spot.
Feng Xi brightened. It works!
Then her smile froze.
Because Lu Xiuhan fell out of a spatial rift and crashed face-first onto the ground.
Feng Xi: "..."
Didn't she also land face-down like this when she left Hunyuan Sect's treasure vault last time?!
Laying face-down wouldn't be this thing's way of landing, right?
But that didn't matter, the main point was that this thing was useless here. They still had to think of other ideas.
Mu Zihuai silently placed Lu Xiuhan, who had a face covered in blood, back onto the Gale Bloodthirsty Lion's back without saying a word.
Mo Xiuyuan and the others also remained silent.
What was there to say?
This was about the only value Lu Xiuhan had left.
Xing Wu and the others were very curious about what this talisman was, but seeing the dark expression on Feng Xi's small face, didn't dare ask.
After a while, Feng Xi said, "We've been circling the same place because we want to leave.
But what if we head in the opposite direction?"
Jiang Ji looked startled, "The opposite direction? You mean toward the core area?"
Feng Xi nodded, "That's right! This is just my guess and it may not work. But why don't we give it a try?"
Everyone: "..."
Even if it worked, it wasn't a good plan.
The core area was full of Nascent Soul demon beasts, heading there would be the same as using meat buns to beat up dogs, a one-way trip with no return!
Feng Xi could tell what they were thinking, and said, "This is called finding life on the brink of death!
The mist spreads out from the core area so there must be a solution there.
Besides, Nascent Soul beasts aren't that terrifying.
When the time comes, we'll reason with them and move them with sincerity. I believe they'll understand and help us."
Everyone: "..."
In your damn dreams!
If there was only one Nascent Soul beast, then maybe you could convince it.
But there's a whole group of them inside!
They're of different species too, how are you going to persuade them all?
The Gale Bloodthirsty Lion who was carrying Lu Xiuhan's limp body suddenly buckled and collapsed on the ground.
The Nascent Soul beasts in the core area were each more terrifying than the last!
On days when they offered low-level beasts as tribute, they'd felt the Nascent Soul beasts' overwhelming pressure, it had nearly frightened them to death!
So not to mention entering the core area, they wouldn't even dare approach within three miles of it.
This crazy girl is really tired of living!
It's fine if you want to die, but don't drag us down with you!
For a moment, everyone hesitated.
Then they discovered something alarming.
The spiritual power in their dantians was slowly dissipating.
In other words, their spiritual energy was slowly being eroded.
So this was the true nature of the mist!
If this continued on, they would inevitably die!
Everyone hardened their resolve and decided to follow what Feng Xi said to go toward the core area!
The several Golden Core beasts desperately begged Feng Xi to dissolve the contracts between them, because they weren't sick of living yet!
Feng Xi thought about it, "Fine. As long as you carry us to the edge of the core area, I'll release you."
The several Golden Core beasts: "..."
Will we even have the chance to leave then?!
Feng Xi had everyone mount onto the beasts' backs, this was to conserve energy and spiritual power.
The beasts themselves showed no change in spiritual power. Perhaps because they had lived in the mist for years and had already developed a resistance against it.
They secretly hoped that they would fail to find the path to the core area, that way it would spare them from certain death.
As a result, fate opposed them. After a day and a night, they reached the edge of the core area.
The entire core region was shrouded in dense mist, blocking everyone's vision.
Feng Xi thought to herself, it seems like her guess was correct, the mist only trapped people inside, there were no problems when moving deeper in.
Her own spiritual power was slowly dissipating, but she wasn't worried.
Because she could draw spiritual energy from the outside world at any time. At worst, she could have the little black ball act as her mobile spiritual energy reservoir.
The Golden Core beasts were now prostrated on the ground. They could barely stand, let alone fight.
Feng Xi clicked her tongue, "Look at you. Isn't it just the difference of one major realm? Do you have to be scared into this?"
The Golden Core beasts: "..."
Did the things you say even sound human?!
Isn't it just one major realm?
Do you even know that the higher the cultivation, the greater the gap between realms?
Even Golden Core Great Perfection versus Nascent Soul early stage is like heaven and earth!
Stop talking about this nonsense and release us already!
"There's no rush, I'll negotiate with those Nascent Soul beasts first. If the talks collapse, it wouldn't be too late to release you then."
The Golden Core beasts: "..."
Before they could protest, Feng Xi called out clearly, "A human envoy has come to discuss important matters. Please kindly meet with us!"
Jiang Ji and the others: "..."
Human envoy?
Discuss important matters?
You truly know how to put on airs!
Soon, more than twenty Nascent Soul demon beasts emerged from the mist.
Jiang Ji and the others felt their scalps go numb.
Forget twenty, just two would be enough to kill them!
They had fought the early Nascent Soul Stage Heavenly Abyss Divine Tree in the Heaven-and-Earth Banner before, but a formation demon plant was nothing like real demon beasts!
Moreover, these weren't merely early Nascent Soul Stage beasts. There were mid-stage, and three had even already reached late Nascent Soul Stage.
The power disparity was so vast that they had no thought of resistance at all.
Feng Xi, however, didn't show the slightest bit of fear. She cupped her hands toward them, "Everyone, allow me to introduce myself. I am Feng Xi, personal disciple of Xuantian Sect, hailed as a role model of humanity and the light of righteousness!
I will be fully responsible for this negotiation. Who is in charge among you?"
