Following this, Fairy Lingyue wasted no more words, delivering punch after punch to the Peacock King, leaving it on the brink of death.
It wasn't that Fairy Lingyue had a sadistic tendency; it was just that Xu Taiping's body was too weak, and his true essence was too scarce to support her in performing higher-level spells. Therefore, she could only use the Thousand-Weight Force to gradually wear down the Peacock King.
"Who dares to offend my Qingxuan!"
At this moment, a thunderous roar echoed from the horizon, and Xu Taiping saw a massive dragon, enveloped in lightning, breaking through the sky from the west.
"Could this be the true form of the Black Dragon Elder?"
Xu Taiping thought in astonishment.
"I've been waiting for you, little mudfish."
Fairy Lingyue, as if she had anticipated the Black Dragon Elder's move, sneered and then, in front of the distant Black Dragon Elder, delivered another punch to the Peacock King.
The Black Dragon Elder roared, and his body suddenly burst through the clouds, appearing above the Danxia Plateau in the blink of an eye. He then opened his massive mouth and spat out a dragon breath like black flames toward Xu Taiping below.
The dragon breath, like a pillar of fire, shot straight toward the ground.
At this moment, Fairy Lingyue simply raised one of Xu Taiping's arms, extended three fingers, and slashed at the Black Dragon Elder— "Sea Splitter!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a mighty energy blade flew out from the Cangluan Ring, resembling a long sword spanning the entire Fenglai Valley, fiercely slashing toward the dragon breath.
With a loud explosion, the dragon breath spat by the Black Dragon Elder was directly severed by the three fingers of the Cangluan Ring. The Black Dragon Elder, after using his claws to block the blade, was forced to retreat thousands of feet in the air, and one of his hard, invincible dragon claws was directly cut off.
"Is this the true power of the Cangluan Ring?"
"To fully unleash the power of a magical treasure, besides having sufficient true essence, the power of the divine soul is also very important. My divine essence is much stronger than yours, so the power is naturally greater," Fairy Lingyue explained while stepping on the wind and flying toward the Star Observing Cliff.
"Is this just a bit more powerful?"
Xu Taiping nodded and bitterly smiled in his heart. The Cangluan Ring in his hands and in Fairy Lingyue's hands was completely different.
"Ask how the mother and child are doing. Those three fingers can only hold off the Black Dragon Elder for a moment. Your true essence is now exhausted, and you can't withstand another attack from the Black Dragon Elder. Also, my possession time is almost up," Fairy Lingyue said to Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping took control of his body again and landed in front of the Night Sparrow's body.
However, when he landed, the Night Sparrow's head was still hanging down, and there was no sign of life in her body. Bai Yu stood motionless beside her head.
Xu Taiping called out to Bai Yu.
He could guess what had happened.
Bai Yu suddenly turned her head and said with tears in her eyes, "I don't have a mother anymore."
Xu Taiping's heart trembled.
But immediately, his eyes became resolute again. He grabbed Bai Yu and said to Fairy Lingyue,
Fairy Lingyue then took control of Xu Taiping's body again, and her figure flashed, disappearing from the Danxia Plateau.
"Seal the mountain, seal the mountain, seal the mountain! Don't let him escape!"
The Black Dragon Elder's roar echoed throughout the entire Fenglai Valley.
However, by this time, Xu Taiping had already taken Bai Yu into the secret passage.
Countless spirit beasts and cultivators were mobilized, searching everywhere for the silhouette of the criminal that night.
These people naturally also searched the Green Bamboo Residence, but Xu Taiping had already changed his clothes and hidden the green gourd, so they found nothing.
After sending away another batch of searching cultivators, Xu Taiping closed the courtyard gate and returned to his bedroom.
"Xu Taiping, my mother asked me to give you something," Bai Yu said weakly from inside the green gourd.
Xu Taiping opened the green gourd and let Bai Yu out.
"My mother said that your skills and spells don't seem to belong to this continent. Perhaps this half of a teleportation token from another continent might be useful to you," Bai Yu said, holding a broken golden token in her mouth as she walked out of the gourd.
Xu Taiping took the golden token, puzzled, and noticed that it was inscribed with strange characters and runes, which indeed did not belong to this continent.
"Surprisingly, it's a teleportation token to the Youyun Continent?"
Just as Xu Taiping was wondering about it, Fairy Lingyue's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"What is a teleportation token?"
Xu Taiping asked Fairy Lingyue in his mind.
"A teleportation token is a token that activates an ancient teleportation array, allowing you to instantly teleport to another cultivation continent. It is very precious in your cultivation world," Fairy Lingyue explained, her voice somewhat excited.
"Youyun Continent... What kind of place is it?"
Xu Taiping asked curiously.
