Long Yue and the others stared in shock at the Big Wolf Spiders’ bodies scattering on the ground, “Oh my! The Big Wolf Spiders have been killed so quickly!” The mythical creature acted so fast.

Qingfeng returned to the ground with Hongling in his arms and poked Baiyu in the middle of its brows, “You can’t even deal with such trivial trouble. Go back to reflect on yourself.”

Baiyu hung its head in shame. Qingfeng was right. They couldn’t take down the Big Wolf Spiders today. Sure enough, they had been sealed for so long that their cultivation had degraded.

Seeing that Baiyu lowered its head, Hongling immediately went forward to pat its big head, “No need to reflect on yourself. Just work hard at cultivating after you go back!”

Duanmu Xi saw their interaction and curled her lips, “OK. Thank you for your effort. Go back into the crystal ball now!”

Lanze heard that and immediately replied, “Mistress, would you like us to escort you out of the jungle?” It really didn’t want to return to the crystal ball. It was too boring to stay in the crystal ball.

Duanmu Xi patted Lanze’s big head, “No need. We’re close to the exit now. We’ll be able to get out soon.”

Lanze lowered its head in frustration and returned to the crystal ball with Baiyu and the others.

Duanmu Xi looked at her injured peers, her eyes slightly flashing, “Let’s go. We must get out of the jungle as soon as possible.”

The others nodded. As Phoenix Thirteen couldn’t see things, Phoenix Fourteen came to her and crouched down, “Thirteen, get on my back. I’ll carry you.”

Phoenix Thirteen was slightly taken aback to hear that and then reached out her hands. Yet, her hands were grabbed by a hand.

“Allow me,” Long Ri said sulkily. Before Phoenix Thirteen realized what was happening, she had got on a broad back.

Long Ri carried Phoenix Thirteen on his back with ease and slightly tilted his head to say to her, “Hold me tightly.”

Phoenix Thirteen wanted to reject him but upon thinking of the tears that dropped to her neck, she subconsciously put her arms around Long Ri’s neck.

Feeling the arms around his neck, Long Ri curled his lips.

“Hey, wait…” Phoenix Fourteen looked at Long Ri directly carrying Phoenix Thirteen on his back and wanted to catch up, but she was stopped by Yu Ying.

Yu Ying stared at Phoenix Fourteen’s confused face and slightly smiled, “Give them a chance!”

Hearing that, Phoenix Fourteen watched their backs, lost in thought.

According to the parchment map, Duanmu Xi and her peers walked for more than six hours and finally got out of the jungle.

“Great. We finally got out of this damned place.” Phoenix Five looked at the spacious place ahead and let out a sigh.

“Geez. We’re finally out. The air outside is fresh!” Phoenix Fourteen also breathed deeply with an infatuated look.

“Wow. What beautiful sunset!” Yu Ying stretched out his arms and rushed forward but his injury got pulled.

“Ouch…” A scream made the others burst into laughter. Phoenix Thirteen on Long Ri’s back also seemed to be affected by the relaxed and happy atmosphere. She slightly curled up her lips with a peaceful face.

Seeing Yu Ying holding the back of his hand and screaming, Phoenix Fourteen immediately went forward and grabbed the back of his hand, “Don’t you know you’re injured? You know, sorrow follows extreme joy. It serves you right!” Although she was scolding Yu Ying, she acted very gently for fear of making him feel pain.

Seeing everyone laughing merrily, Duanmu Xi felt happy too. She turned around to look at the jungle in the sunset and slightly smiled, “We’ve finally got out. This is really a terrifying place.”

Situ Kong also looked back at the jungle and sighed, “People all say the Spiritual Beast Forest is horrid. I think the Wilderness Jungle is a lot more horrifying than the Spiritual Beast Forest.”

Duanmu Xi nodded in agreement. The spiritual beasts in the Spiritual Beast Forest were really tough. Although there were no especially tough spiritual beasts in the Wilderness Jungle, there were hideous plants and plenty of poisonous beings everywhere. Compared with the Wilderness Jungle full of poisonous beings and miasma, people preferred to go to the Spiritual Beast Forest. For one thing, there were many spiritual beasts for their training. For another, there were many strange plants and hard-to-get herbs in the Spiritual Beast Forest. That was refining pharmacists’ favorite place.

“All right, let’s go. Hopefully, we can arrive at the holy city before the sun sets.”

The others all nodded and headed towards the holy city.

Duanmu Xi and the others got out of the Wilderness Jungle. Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Mo entered the Wilderness Jungle with Yu Feng and Lishang.

“Your Highness, the miasma is poisonous.” Yu Feng covered his chest and shook his dizzy head.

Xuanyuan Mo stared at the colorful miasma and felt worried. Faced with such poisonous miasma, was there anything wrong with her and the babies… Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes flashed. He clenched his fists. He believed that with Situ Kong around, Xi and the babies must be fine.

Looking at Yu Feng’s and Lishang’s green faces, Xuanyuan Mo took out two Alexipharmic Pills from his arms and threw the pills at them.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” The two of them fetched the Alexipharmic Pills and immediately swallowed the pills. Shortly, their facial complexions gradually got well.

“Let’s go!” Xuanyuan Mo glimpsed the two of them getting better and said before heading toward the depths of the jungle.

Yu Feng and Lishang exchanged glances and followed resignedly.

It gradually became darker. The people also finally arrived in front of a rampart that wasn’t very high. Maybe because it was already dark, they rarely met anyone on the way.

“This is the holy city. Somehow, it feels so strange!” Phoenix Fourteen looked at the khaki rampart in front of her and blinked.

“Is… Is the rampart made of sand?” Phoenix Five asked, her eyes wide open.

The others all frowned. Everyone knew that the rampart couldn’t be made of sand, but it was clearly the truth.

“Let’s go inside.” Duanmu Xi looked up at the words on the rampart—”Holy City”, her eyes glistening with excitement. She thought, “Third Master, here I come.”

The soldiers guarding the gate were surprised to see Duanmu Xi and the others but they didn’t stop the latter. Instead, the soldiers saluted the comers respectfully.

Seeing the soldiers salute them, Long Yue and the others were all confused. Duanmu Xi exchanged glances with Situ Kong. They both took a tumble.

Situ Kong stared at the soldiers and seemed hesitant, “Let’s rest in an inn first. We’ll talk about other things tomorrow.”

Duanmu Xi nodded and entered the holy city with the others.

Now, it was totally dark. There were not many people in the holy city. Because it was dark, not many people noticed Duanmu Xi and the others.

Having toured around the holy city, Duanmu Xi and the others finally found an inn. The moment they entered the inn, they just attracted the attention of all the people in the inn.

Feeling the curious gaze, Duanmu Xi subconsciously knitted her brows. Although she was always in the limelight, she really disliked the feeling of being stared at.

Upon seeing them, the inn manager immediately came to Duanmu Xi and the others and said with clasped hands, “Are you from one of the four empires?” The manager’s voice was respectful. Although he didn’t know who Duanmu Xi and the others were, he knew that their cultivation couldn’t be low. Otherwise, they couldn’t go through the Wilderness Jungle that was filled with poisonous beings and miasma. Martial arts prevailed in the Hantian Continent. Those with high cultivation levels couldn’t be taken lightly.

Feeling the manager’s kindness, Duanmu Xi nodded.

The manager was stunned by Duanmu Xi’s appearance but very quickly, he became composed again and looked at Duanmu Xi, saying with a smile, “Do you want to dine or spend the night here?”

Upon hearing that, Duanmu Xi slightly curled up her lips. Duanmu Xi was satisfied with the manager’s decent manners, “We’d like a few top-class rooms. As to food, take it to our rooms.”

“OK. Dear customers, come with me.” The manager didn’t let the waiter aside take them to their rooms. Instead, he ushered them onto the second floor of the inn on his own, “These are our best rooms. You may pick a few rooms as you please. If you don’t like them, we can rearrange other rooms for you.”

Duanmu Xi glanced at the room and nodded, “The room is okay. Please prepare food for us!”

Duanmu Xi winked at Phoenix Five. Phoenix Five immediately took the hint. She took out a purple crystal from her arms and passed it to the manager.

The manager was stupefied to see the purple crystal. Obviously, he didn’t expect that he would be paid so much.

The manager took the purple crystal and then said with a slight bow, “Thank you. Please wait a few minutes. The food will be served right away.” The manager turned around and went downstairs.

After the manager left, Duanmu Xi and the others went into the room together.

“What do you think, Chief Master?” Duanmu Xi walked to the desk and poured a cup of tea for Situ Kong.

Situ Kong fetched the tea and took a sip. He narrowed his eyes comfortably. He hadn’t drunk hot tea for quite a long time. He put down the teacup and stared at Duanmu Xi, “Considering the attitude of the soldiers guarding the rampart, I assume that man will soon know we’ve arrived at the holy city. Barring accidents, he’ll come to us very soon. What we need to do is wait patiently.”

Duanmu Xi nodded. Since he threatened her to come to the Wilderness Holy Region with her third master, he must be up to something. She wasn’t afraid that he wouldn’t come to her.

The food was brought here shortly. It was delivered by the manager, “The dishes are all served. Please help yourselves.”

“Please prepare a few buckets of hot water and several sets of local clothes for us,” Duanmu Xi said and then threw a purple crystal to the manager again. She didn’t want to arouse attention. They had better wear the local clothes.

The manager took the purple crystal and immediately said with a bow, “OK. Please wait a minute. The hot water and the clothes will be ready soon.”

After having supper, Situ Kong checked everybody’s traumatic condition and dispensed medicines for Phoenix Thirteen to cure her eyes.

In the Wilderness Holy Hall.

“Region Master, the person you’re waiting for has just entered the city,” a soldier knelt in front of a man and reported. The man, dressed in a black cloak, was wearing a black mask that covered half his face. Only his sexy lips were exposed.

“Really? Are you sure?” The masked man was faintly excited.

The soldier lowered his head again and said, “Yes, I’m sure of it.”

The masked man got excited, “Do you know where she is now?”

“In Green Pine Inn.”

The masked man waved at the soldier, “You may leave.”

“Yes.” The soldier bowed himself out.

The masked man looked at the soldier’s back and cracked a sinister smile, thinking, “Duanmu Xi, you’ve finally arrived.”
