93: Chapter 93 They separated and were besieged.
Feng Yange tried to use the marriage contract bond between them; she could clearly feel that they were all there, but she didn't know why they had been separated.
"Little Fox, you and I haven't formed a contract yet, so you must stay close to me." Feng Yange instructed Bai Jiuxiao. It seemed to be because of the Demonic Forest, but why was Bai Jiuxiao, who had no contract, not separated, while everyone else was?
Bai Jiuxiao acknowledged, holding Feng Yange's hand and looking around as he followed behind her.
"Mistress, I heard the Clan Chief talk about the Demonic Forest. There is a very powerful witch in the Demonic Forest who was once betrayed by the man she loved the most. Do you think this could be related?"
"You mean the Demonic Forest is dissatisfied with Cultivators who have marriage contracts and is deliberately separating them?"
"I guess that must be it. You and I, Mistress, haven't formed a contract, so we weren't separated." Bai Jiuxiao looked around vigilantly. Why did he feel like something was watching them, yet when he turned his head, there was nothing there?
Feng Yange suddenly stopped and turned around sharply, but she saw nothing.
"Mistress, do you also feel like we're being watched?" Bai Jiuxiao asked in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings, but he couldn't smell any scent of living people here.
"Perhaps we are just too nervous." No sooner had Feng Yange finished speaking than her ankles were suddenly entangled. She was pulled into the air, and vines from all directions wrapped around her waist, binding her and hanging her from a tree.
"Mistress..." Bai Jiuxiao had just called out when he was also bound and left hanging upside down from a tree.
"As expected, the first things one sees are never good." Although Feng Yange was bound by vines, she didn't show the slightest fear. On the contrary, she took this opportunity to observe the situation around her.
Hanging this high up, she could see far.
"Mistress!" Xuan Li shouted excitedly, struggling. He was also bound, his body swinging back and forth.
"Mistress, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you again. I didn't expect to be the first one to find you." Xuan Li swung vigorously towards Feng Yange. Feng Yange's lips twitched, and she wanted to rub her forehead, but she had no free hands.
"Besides you, have you seen anyone else?" Feng Yange's gaze swept across the surroundings. These vines had cultivated to a certain level of power; they must be a specialty of the Demonic Forest.
"No. After I fell, I immediately looked for you, Mistress, and then I was bound by these damn vines." Xuan Li struggled in annoyance. The vines tightened, and he felt as if his waist were about to be snapped.
"What about your Fire Ability?" Feng Yange couldn't help but remind him. Xuan Li's eyes lit up. "Right, I have the Fire Ability. Watch me burn these vines off."
"Sword!"
Xuan Li froze, looking up at Feng Yange. He saw a Sword fly out and hack at the vines on her body. The vines on Feng Yange were severed and instantly retracted. Feng Yange flew down, holding the Sword, walked towards Bai Jiuxiao, and cut the vines on him.
"Stay close to me."
"Thank you for saving me, Mistress."
Feng Yange turned back and found that Xuan Li was still hanging there. She frowned slightly. "Why aren't you using your Fire Ability? Do you want me to save you too?"
Xuan Li curled his lips. "Mistress, you just shouted 'Sword', and I thought you were talking to me, so I stopped."
Feng Yange's lips curled slightly. She walked up to Xuan Li and cut the vines on him. "For the sake of the Sword, I won't hold this against you this time. However, the name of this Sword is really good; it must have miraculous effects when fighting."
"That's for sure. I stopped, let alone an enemy who doesn't know the situation." Xuan Li looked at the surrounding vines. "Mistress, why do these vines tie people up? Do you think the others were also bound?"
"These vines only tie people up and have no attack power, so they should be fine."
Feng Yange led them forward. Just as they passed through the woods, they heard someone shouting for help. The three of them went over and saw a string of people bound and hung up by vines.
One of them was an old acquaintance, Xiao Linger. Feng Yange's eyes lit up when she saw her.
"Little Linger, why are you here?"
After the initial joy of seeing Feng Yange, Xiao Linger's heart was filled with rage. Why was she everywhere? But for now, she couldn't afford a falling out.
"Feng Yange, hurry and let me down."
Feng Yange scanned the other unfamiliar faces. "Do you want me to save you?"
"Name your price."
Feng Yange immediately beamed, rubbing her hands as she approached them. "What good things do you have?"
"I have Spiritual Plants. If you save me, I can give you ten Spiritual Plants."
Feng Yange looked disgusted. "Is your life only worth ten Spiritual Plants? Do you not have anything else?"
"Feng Yange, I know where the Treasure Trove is here. As long as you let me down, I will tell you the location of the Treasure Trove." Xiao Linger spoke, and Feng Yange's gaze fell upon her.
"What Treasure Trove?"
"This is the Demonic Domain; there is a demon bead, and I know where it is." Xiao Linger's words shocked Feng Yange. She actually knew! This Xiao Linger really was the beloved daughter of the Heavenly Dao.
"I'm not interested in things like demon beads. What I'm curious about is, how do you know there is a demon bead here?"
As soon as Feng Yange finished speaking, Xiao Linger frowned. "Didn't you do any research before entering the Earth Core Secret Realm?"
"No."
Could it be that they all knew before entering the Secret Realm?
Feng Yange cut the vines on Xiao Linger until they were almost severed, then stopped. "Little Linger, I'm in a rush to save my husbands, so I won't charge you. Just exert a little more effort on the vines on your body, and you'll be free in fifteen minutes at most."
Feng Yange finished speaking and left without looking back, leaving Xiao Linger behind, cursing loudly.
"Mistress, how did you think of leaving a bit of the vines so Xiao Linger could break free?" Xuan Li's eyes were full of admiration. "Listen to her cursing you; it's really vile."
"Her husbands aren't by her side. If I cut the vines to save her, she would definitely follow me, and I don't want that." Feng Yange glanced at Bai Jiuxiao beside her and took his hand. "Did you feel uncomfortable just now?"
"No. I thought you would let them all down, Mistress."
"Those vines have no attack power, and those people are all in the Spirit Emperor Realm; they don't need me to save them at all." Feng Yange had realized this when she was bound. Several experts in the Spirit Emperor Realm were hanging there begging for help; if she really intervened, that would be asking for trouble.
"Mistress is right. Those vines really didn't mean to attack us; they just simply wanted to tie us up. I can escape as long as I control my fire." Xuan Li's expression suddenly became serious. He looked at the woods in front of them and stepped in front of Feng Yange, blocking her.
"Mistress, the real danger is here."
Feng Yange clearly felt a strange aura approaching from the front. Purple mist began to spread. The woods, where only the three of them had been, erupted in restless noises. Pairs of eyes in the darkness stared at them as if they had seen prey.
"Mistress, it's a Demonic Beast."
After Xuan Li finished speaking, he transformed into his original form. His snake tail hooked Feng Yange and threw her onto his back. "Xiao Qi, run! They are all Demonic Beasts in the Spirit Emperor Realm."
But they hadn't run for long before they were surrounded.
