After much effort to escape from that secret cave,
Fang Meiyun immediately went to search for Lin Xuan's whereabouts.
That despicable man had not only locked her up with that brat inside a restriction formation, but had also deliberately sealed the cave's main entrance.
If it hadn't been for the fact that she was once the leader of a sect and mastered countless secret arts, she wouldn't have been able to get out of there.
"Damn bastard. He's already gone."
Unable to locate that man using her secret arts,
Fang Meiyun snorted angrily a couple of times; ever since becoming a pig demon, she had never been able to correct certain porcine habits.
After inspecting the area a bit, Fang Meiyun suddenly noticed several powerful presences approaching from the distance.
"Useless Nascent Soul cultivators?"
Sensing that those people were in the Nascent Soul Realm, Fang Meiyun hesitated for a moment
but ultimately chose to hide her presence and leave the area.
Even now, despite having squeezed Lin Nannian to the limit, her level had only just reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm.
She still couldn't confront Nascent Soul cultivators, although within her own Realm, she was invincible.
After leaving the place while hiding her presence, Fang Meiyun flew off to other areas to see if she could find more unattended treasures.
After searching for two days and two nights, Fang Meiyun stopped in front of a lake.
Although the lake seemed ordinary, Fang Meiyun detected subtle traces.
"There's something hidden here."
When she cast a technique toward the lake, the surface showed no change.
Suddenly, a golden flash flickered.
A second later, that golden flash, carrying immense destructive power, fell upon Fang Meiyun.
Fortunately, Fang Meiyun was prepared; although she managed to block the attack, she still didn't come out unscathed.
That Five Thunders technique could only be cast by someone who had mastered thunder techniques.
And that was just one attack from the lake's formation array.
If she continued trying to break the formation, surely more attacks like that would keep coming nonstop.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Meiyun didn't act rashly.
She first took out a bottle containing a red powder; she tossed it into the air and pointed at it with a finger.
The bottle shattered on its own, and the red powder fell like rain onto the lake's surface.
Then, a rudimentary structure of a formation appeared before her eyes.
Observing the operation of the formation, Fang Meiyun sat cross-legged at the lakeshore and began forming hand seals to deduce how it worked.
After nearly half a day of deduction, Fang Meiyun opened her eyes and began performing the seals to dismantle the formation.
A formation that only a Nascent Soul cultivator could break…
Was dismantled by Fang Meiyun with the fluidity of a skilled butcher slicing meat.
After completely breaking the formation
The entire surface of the lake began to change.
Beneath the lake, which had previously been clear to the bottom, a deep black hole appeared, its depth immeasurable, its destination unknown; a faint blue light emanated from the hole's entrance.
After seeing the changes at the bottom of the lake,
Fang Meiyun reflected for a moment and then set up two more formations: one to make the lake return to its normal appearance, and one to hide her own presence.
After preparing everything, she dove into the lake to explore the hidden treasures.
Less than half an hour after Fang Meiyun submerged,
Two cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core Realm arrived together at the lake's shore.
One of them, a green-robed cultivator with crossed eyes, spoke:
"Brother Chu, you're saying the place where the hidden treasure is… is this lake?"
"That's right. When I discovered this place, I tried to break the formation to explore, but it was too difficult.
So I can only ask Brother Nangong to share this opportunity with me."
Chu Nianchi replied with a faint smile.
Nangong Bihan and Chu Nianchi had been old friends for hundreds of years.
They met when they were still in the Qi Refining Realm and had gone through many life-and-death situations together; they could be described as friends in adversity.
During this expedition into the secret realm in search of treasures, they had helped each other several times.
"Fine, but after breaking this damn formation, how do we divide what's inside?
Even if we're like blood brothers, clear accounts preserve friendship. I don't want these things to affect our relationship."
Said Nangong Bihan.
"60% for me, 40% for you."
"Agreed."
After agreeing on how to divide the loot, both solemnly swore upon the Dao that they would never betray each other.
This way, both could finally be at ease.
In the world of cultivation, the cases of friendships breaking over cultivation resources are countless;
only a Dao oath can allow both parties to feel at peace.
Just as they were about to begin breaking the formation, Chu Nianchi couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Nangong, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"Go ahead."
"Why is your name Bihan? That name totally sounds like a woman's name."
"When I was a child, I had very poor health.
A Taoist who passed by my home said I had to be raised as a girl until I turned ten.
Since I was little, I wore skirts and had a feminine name."
Nangong Bihan replied with a slightly helpless tone.
"I see. After all these years of knowing you, I finally solve that mystery."
Chu Nianchi laughed, and then both of them directed the twelve formation-breaking needles together, attempting to forcefully open the formation.
However, what they didn't expect was…
As soon as the needles touched the formation…
It instantly broke over the lake, and the changes beneath the lake were revealed to their eyes.
Seeing the dark opening underwater, the two looked at each other, and Chu Nianchi's heart sank.
"Could it be that someone got here before us?"
"No matter what's going on, let's go in and investigate first. If someone's stealing the opportunity, we'll kill them."
Nangong Bihan's face turned cold. After nodding, both dove into the lake wielding their magical treasures.
Once underwater, they swam through the darkness without knowing how much time had passed.
Until a faint glow appeared ahead, and entering cautiously, they discovered they had been transported to an underwater palace.
Just as they began inspecting the surroundings…
A figure silently appeared behind them, and a sharp hand lunged straight at Nangong Bihan's back.
That hand was wrapped in black flame; if the strike landed…
Even the target's soul would be reduced to ashes!
Luckily, the white jade hanging from Nangong Bihan's waist glowed faintly.
A protective barrier blocked Fang Meiyun's attack, giving him enough time to move away and dodge.
"Watch out!"
Shouted Nangong Bihan, and grabbing Chu Nianchi, they teleported several meters away, glaring murderously at Fang Meiyun.
But upon clearly seeing Fang Meiyun's face, Nangong Bihan couldn't help but exclaim:
"Mei… Meiyun, Fairy Meiyun?"
"It can't be. This woman is definitely imitating Fairy Meiyun because of her unparalleled beauty."
Chu Nianchi, also a die-hard fan of The Tragedy of Fairy Meiyun, growled with a frown.
Ever since that story became popular…
Many female cultivators had tried to imitate Fairy Meiyun.
They might copy her face…
But that aura Fairy Meiyun had — that couldn't be learned!
"Die."
Upon hearing those two insignificant cultivators dare to criticize her, Fang Meiyun could no longer hold back the fury boiling in her heart… and other places.
Am I not Fang Meiyun? Or am I f*ing Fang Meiyun?!
