CHAPTER 332: CHAPTER 219: BAI LUQIU, LIU QINGDAI AND OTHERS ARE IN DANGER!

"Not good."

Master Crane immediately felt a bit guilty and hurriedly quickened his pace to fly inward.

He hadn’t expected there to be other people here.

The cloud and mist barrier had obstructed his vision.

It truly was a streak of bad luck.

Run, run!

Master Crane’s speed became extremely fast as he suddenly sprinted into the enchantment.

The cloud and mist barrier was not originally set to defend against the divine birds of the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land. It was only because Master Crane had forcefully caused trouble earlier that the barrier had rebounded.

Upon entering the barrier’s interior, the wild wind currents instantly disappeared, leaving only a crystal-clear blue sky.

And there was the Suspending Mountain, surrounded by a sea of clouds.

The entire mountain seemed as if it were transformed from the clouds, looking exceptionally beautiful.

But upon closer examination, one would realize that these clouds were in fact rich Spiritual Qi made manifest.

"Running now, it’s a bit late."

Wen Zhixing glanced over his shoulder and saw that the other party had discovered him.

"It’s that bald crane; its feathers have grown back!"

Sure enough, angry shouts soon pinpointed Master Crane’s location.

They were three individuals—one adult and two children—seated on the back of a huge exotic beast.

However, due to the clouds and mist, they could not see the others clearly.

"Run!"

Master Crane further increased his speed, his form turning into a streak of white as he swooped down toward the Suspending Mountain below.

The two people and one crane eventually landed safely.

"Alright, we’ve arrived. The green hills will not change, and the clear waters will flow forever. We’ll meet again next time." Master Crane’s mouth moved quickly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was ready to leave.

"Where do you think you’re going?!"

Just then, several figures suddenly appeared beside Wen Zhixing in a flash.

It was a beautiful woman in a red dress, leading two little girls with twin ponytails, one on each side.

Trouble!

Upon seeing the newcomers, Master Crane was instantly startled.

Why was today so unlucky?

"It really is you, bald crane! Winged Tiger, kill it for me!" the woman shrieked.

At the same time, a giant tiger’s paw swept down from above.

A black shadow swiftly enveloped Wen Zhixing and the others below.

It was a majestic tiger with wings growing out of its back.

Wen Zhixing’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pulled Lianxin aside to dodge.

BOOM!

The giant tiger’s paw slammed down fiercely, causing a violent explosion of sound. Wen Zhixing and Lianxin both felt an extremely terrifying force rush toward their faces, prompting them to retreat again.

Such frightening pressure! This tiger is definitely a spirit beast at or above the Genius Spirit Realm, Wen Zhixing was inwardly astonished. If not for his quick reflexes, he might have been turned into mush with one slap.

Lianxin, on the other hand, appeared panicked, her hands tightly gripping Wen Zhixing’s arm. As a minor cultivator of the Third Realm, she was somewhat dazed.

Yet, such a mighty strike did not even scratch the ground.

There wasn’t even a tremble.

This Suspending Mountain is indeed extraordinary.

Wen Zhixing looked down at the ground beneath his feet, noticing traces of golden light flashing across it as the residual energy was rapidly absorbed.

Not only did the palm strike not cause any damage, but it also seemed to be energizing the Suspending Mountain.

Is an array method deployed here, or could it be... this Suspending Mountain itself is a Spiritual Instrument...

Wen Zhixing’s eyesight was now far better than before, allowing him to quickly discern the extraordinary nature of the Suspending Mountain.

"This Lord will not stoop to your level. Farewell."

Abruptly, a slightly sharp voice came from above; Master Crane had already transformed into a streak of white light, speeding far away.

That speed was much faster than before.

However, white feathers continuously drifted down from the sky.

It was obvious that such speed likely had some Disadvantages.

ROAR!

The Winged Tiger growled and soared into the sky, its form, like a bolt of lightning, swiftly giving chase.

This time, Master Crane dared not speak anymore and hastily increased his speed even more.

However, even more feathers now fell.

It was as if a snow of goose feathers drifted down from the void.

"Hmph, that bald crane certainly runs fast."

The woman in the red dress snorted coldly and stopped paying Master Crane any mind.

She then turned her unfriendly gaze onto Wen Zhixing and Lianxin. She was about to scold them but abruptly stopped. "Eh, you are... Lianxin?"

"Yes, Lianxin pays her respects to Senior Sister Baiyu..." Regaining her composure, Lianxin hurriedly released her grip on Wen Zhixing’s arm and stood up to perform a respectful salute to the person in front of her.

Clearly, they were acquainted.

"No need to be formal, Lianxin," Jiang Baiyu stepped forward, smiling, the displeasure on her face starting to fade.

Not only did they know each other, but they were also good acquaintances. Their relationship was not superficial.

Back then, both had been servants.

However, Jiang Baiyu, possessing extraordinary talent, had quickly advanced on her own merit to become an outer sect disciple of the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land.

Lianxin, meanwhile, remained a servant.

However, by that time, Murong Fenghua had already disappeared. Lianxin no longer had anyone to take care of; though her life lacked prospects, it was nonetheless leisurely.

Since then, their paths diverged, and they gradually lost contact.

"Please forgive Master Crane, Senior Sister Baiyu. He was just being a bit mischievous," Lianxin sighed softly, starting to make excuses for Master Crane.

"Forget it, it’s a small matter." Jiang Baiyu waved it off with a smile. "I was wondering why that bald crane came here. So, it was because you’d arrived."

She knew about Master Crane’s behavior, so she had no intention of blaming the two of them.

Master Crane had a scandalous reputation in the past. He had only reluctantly restrained himself after Murong Fenghua was no longer around. However, even when restrained, his claws weren’t entirely clean. Jiang Baiyu was one of the victims back then.

"Did you come for the cultivation token?"
