Chapter 237 Abnormal Sound
However, although Yi Moxu was fast, Ye Qinghao was not slow either, and Yi Moxu's subordinates could not keep up.
As a result, Yi Moxu was immediately surrounded and attacked. In fact, Ye Qinghao even sent more than ten people to chase after Jiuxiao.
Ye Qing'an tightened her grip on the roof eaves slightly, her brows furrowed, and her heart pounded a little. However, she couldn't show herself, because if she did, Ye Qinghao would definitely recognize her.
Jiuxiao was not slow either, but with a coffin in his mouth and having to dodge the attacks of so many people behind him, he was really caught off guard, and many spells landed on him.
Ye Qing'an clearly saw that Jiu Xiao's body swayed slightly.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and drew a summoning circle.
Soon, a summoning circle appeared beside Jiuxiao. Jiuxiao saw it and immediately flew over to it.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. Her rank was too low. Her summoning spell could only summon small items such as spirit beasts and clothes and jewelry along with the spirit beasts through the summoning array. However, she could not summon coffins, or even coffins with a person inside.
So... Jiuxiao is unwilling to give up?
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips and noticed that under the moonlight, the scales on Jiu Xiao's body had gradually become stained with a bit of blood.
Ye Qing'an then continued drawing the summoning array, which stretched almost all the way across the Nine Heavens.
Fortunately, just when Jiu Xiao was starting to feel the strain, Yi Moxu's men rushed over and engaged in a fierce battle with the pursuers behind Jiu Xiao.
With no pursuers behind him, Jiuxiao's serpentine body gradually disappeared into the clouds.
Ye Qing'an then looked up at Yi Moxu beside her. Perhaps because of the sudden turn of events, Yi Moxu was caught off guard and surrounded, so his situation was not good, but he was still able to handle it.
Yi Moxu held a long sword in his hand. The sword was covered in bright red flames. With a swing of the sword, the flames intensified and, along with the sword energy, carved a path through the area. Wherever the flames reached, not a blade of grass grew.
Then, Yi Moxu raised his hand, gathering a fireball in it. He then threw the fireball into the air, where a fire dragon suddenly appeared and plunged into the enemy ranks...
Ye Qing'an was watching intently when a summoning circle suddenly appeared beside him—it was Jiuxiao…
Ye Qing'an glanced at the situation not far away, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped into the summoning circle.
Emerging from the summoning circle, one finds a dilapidated courtyard. Jiu Xiao sits on the threshold of the main hall, having transformed back into human form. Due to his recent injuries, Jiu Xiao's body and face are covered in blood. Upon seeing Ye Qing'an emerge, he looks at her pitifully and says, "I'm injured."
"I'm hurt, it hurts so much, sob sob sob..." Jiu Xiao's face was full of grievance: "This is the first time I've been injured so badly, I'm so miserable..."
Ye Qing'an originally wanted to show concern, but when she heard Jiu Xiao crying out in pain, she suddenly lost interest in caring.
"Yes, I saw it. And then?"
Jiuxiao was not intimidated by Ye Qing'an's coldness at all, and continued to sob, "I'm injured, it really hurts so much, can you give me a healing pill?"
"..." Ye Qing'an couldn't help but roll her eyes. All this buildup was for a single elixir.
Ye Qing'an took a bottle from her sleeve and tossed it to Jiu Xiao: "One."
Jiuxiao happily accepted it, uncorked the bottle, took out a elixir, and popped it into his mouth.
Jiuxiao chewed it, then frowned: "This elixir doesn't taste very good either. It has a strong medicinal smell. Why do you spiritual cultivators like to eat elixirs?"
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "Essence pills are made from medicinal herbs, so of course they will taste like medicine. We eat spirit pills because it's better than drinking bitter medicine, right? Smaller ones can be swallowed whole without chewing."
Ye Qing'an glanced at the wounds on Jiu Xiao's body. Most of them were superficial injuries and didn't seem too serious. Ye Qing'an breathed a sigh of relief and looked into the main room: "Didn't you check the situation inside the coffin?"
“I want to see it too.” Jiu Xiao stood up, walked into the room, and patted the coffin. “But Ye Qinghao has set up a restriction on this coffin, and I have no way to remove it.”
Ye Qing'an followed him into the house, placed her hand on the coffin, and secretly channeled her spiritual energy...
As soon as the spiritual energy was injected, a powerful surge of spiritual energy rushed back towards Ye Qing'an. Fortunately, because of Jiu Xiao's words, Ye Qing'an was already prepared and quickly withdrew the spiritual energy.
Although Ye Qing'an recovered quickly, she was still affected by the shockwave, feeling a tingling sensation in her chest.
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath: "The gap between a Saint and a Spiritual Cultivator is still too great..."
Although Ye Qing'an knew that Ye Qinghao was a saint, he had never experienced Ye Qinghao's spiritual power before. Now, as he clashed with the restriction, he deeply felt the difference between the two.
"Then neither of us has high spiritual power, so we have no way to break through this restriction. What's the point of us going through all this trouble to snatch this coffin?" Jiu Xiao turned to look at Ye Qing'an, blinking his eyes.
Ye Qing'an naturally understood the sarcasm in Jiu Xiao's words, and only sneered: "Why are you asking me? Don't you already have the answer in your heart? Go out again and see how Yi Moxu and the others are doing, and call Yi Moxu here."
Jiuxiao's eyes widened: "I knew you snatched this coffin for Yimoxu."
Ye Qing'an sneered: "If we don't call Yi Moxu here and just leave the coffin here, Ye Qinghao will soon track us down through his restrictions. We are no match for Ye Qinghao, and we will have no choice but to abandon the coffin and flee."
Jiu Xiao naturally knew that Ye Qing'an was right. He just wanted to tease Ye Qing'an. He stuck out his tongue and quickly changed his form and left.
Ye Qing'an walked around the coffin, her eyes slightly furrowed. She was actually a little suspicious. Ye Qinghao was a cunning and treacherous person. Could they really have snatched the coffin containing Gu Duo so easily?
Ye Qing'an had no doubt about the trap she had set, but felt that things had gone a little too smoothly.
As Ye Qing'an was pondering this, he suddenly heard some strange noises coming from inside the coffin...
It sounded like fingernails scratching wood, or like some kind of insect crawling around inside.
Ye Qing'an took two steps back, her gaze fixed on the coffin. The sound, however, grew louder and louder...
