Huang Ying tossed the bag into the air and cast several spells on it. The yellow bag gradually expanded, and in a short while, it became a large bag with a diameter of two zhang (approximately meters).
The yellow bag rotated a few times in the air, and the red hemp rope at the mouth of the bag suddenly loosened.
"Open!"
Huang Ying shouted softly, pointing at the yellow bag. A flash of spiritual light erupted, and a beam of red light shot out.
The light swept across the ground and dissipated, and the yellow bag returned to its original size. A black, square object appeared on the ground.
Zhang Ling looked closely and saw that it was a black iron cage. A small figure was lying inside, with several thick, scarlet chains binding their hands and feet.
At that moment, when Huang Ying saw the figure in the cage, tears welled up in her eyes, and she rushed towards the cage. But as soon as she touched it, a flash of spiritual light bounced her away.
"Hmph."
Tu Fei's face darkened, and he lightly tapped the sword box beside him. With a flash of silver light, a dazzling white beam shot out from the sword box, slicing the black iron cage in two.
"Xi'er!"
Huang Ying got up from the ground and instantly rushed to the cage, picking up the figure inside. She called out anxiously.
Zhang Ling scanned with his divine sense and saw clearly that the one imprisoned in the cage was a girl of about eight or nine years old. Strangely, the girl had long, messy, emerald green hair, as if she had been trapped for a long time.
The girl seemed to hear Huang Ying's call and opened her eyes. Surprisingly, her eyes were completely white, as if she had no pupils, looking like silver eyes.
However, Zhang Ling still saw some faint traces of pupils in her eyes; her pupils seemed only slightly faded.
Awoo!
The little girl suddenly roared, and the beast-like sound startled Zhang Ling. Her messy, emerald green hair flew wildly without wind, and an aura no weaker than the early stage of Foundation Establishment emanated from her body.
Zhang Ling had never seen such a strange girl before, and he revealed a strange expression.
Could it be that Huang Ying betrayed Elder Chen for this girl?
Tu Fei also stared at the girl without blinking for a while. But suddenly, as if he remembered something, he waved his hand, and a few strands of faint, thin things appeared, seemingly strands of hair.
Tu Fei pinched the strands of hair, and his expression suddenly became serious. A flash of silver light appeared in his hand, and the strands of hair in his hand turned to ashes, but a wisp of green smoke rose.
Tu Fei then condensed a few more hand seals, and the green smoke gathered in the air, forming several smoke runes. The runes flickered and appeared above the girl's head, then turned back into a cloud of smoke, circling the girl before dissipating.
Seeing this scene, Tu Fei's gaze towards the girl softened a bit. At the same time, Tu Fei's gaze towards the girl also carried a hint of curiosity. It seemed that he was also seeing this girl for the first time.
Tu Fei thought of his master's instructions, and his heart was filled with doubt.
Although this girl seemed somewhat special, she was at most a small cultivator. His master was a Nascent Soul-level old monster.
He didn't know why he was asked to find this girl, for which he had spent a lot of time. However, he had just used the secret method passed down by his master to verify that this girl was indeed the person his master was looking for. He could be considered to have not failed his master's instructions, and he felt a slight relief in his heart.
Awoo!
Suddenly, the girl let out a beast-like cry again for some reason, and her whole body exuded powerful spiritual power, and she began to go crazy again.
"Xi'er, Xi'er."
Seeing this scene, Huang Ying's face turned pale, and she called out the girl's name. At the same time, a flash of white light appeared on her body, and a white jade-carved lotus flower floated above the girl, showering her with a layer of white spiritual light, enveloping her within it.
Immediately, the girl's aura was suppressed, and the girl no longer howled, and calmed down.
Then Huang Ying cast several spells on the white jade lotus, and the lotus spun around a few times, turning into a giant lotus more than a zhang long in diameter, and wrapped the girl in it with flowing spiritual light.
After doing all this, Huang Ying's face looked a little better. Then she nodded to Tu Fei next to her. Then she looked in the direction of Zhang Ling.
"This concubine thanks fellow Daoist for your help, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to kill this old thief so smoothly."
"Hmph, it seems that Fairy Huang's purpose has been achieved. I wonder if the Cold Jade Pill promised by the fellow Daoist earlier is available?" Zhang Ling was always paying attention to these people, and asked with no expression on his face.
"Of course."
Huang Ying responded with a smile, and with a wave of her hand, a black storage bag flew out from the place where Elder Chen's corpse was.
"This is Elder Chen's storage bag, which contains the Cold Jade Pill that fellow Daoist needs." As Huang Ying spoke, she took out a cyan jade bottle from the black storage bag.
With a flick of her finger, the jade bottle was opened, and a layer of faint ice mist immediately emerged from it. Then, three ice-blue small pills flew out from it.
The three pills were identical. As soon as they appeared, they were surrounded by a faint ice mist, and it was clear at a glance that they were not ordinary pills.
Huang Ying then glanced at Tu Fei and Zhang Ling, and put the three pills back into the cyan jade bottle again.
Although the three pills only appeared for a brief two or three breaths, Zhang Ling roughly checked the three pills with his divine sense, and they were indeed the Cold Jade Pills he used to collect.
While Zhang Ling's mind was a little agitated, he did not notice Huang Ying's lips moving slightly, as if she was transmitting a message to someone.
"Brother Tu, do you really not need this Cold Jade Pill?"
"This kind of pill is useful to other people, but the technique I practice is special, and this pill is of no use to me. I came here for this girl. Now that I have completed my master's instructions, I will take the girl away. Do you have any objections?"
"So that's how it is. Naturally, Xi'er had already been promised to Brother Tu, so I naturally won't go back on my word."
"Very good, then this Wang surnamed person is staying here in the way, why don't I get rid of this person."
"Wait, I have known this person for a long time, and I still have some things to discuss with this person, and also, I see that there is a hidden aura on this person, he is not an ordinary cultivator, and now we have consumed a lot, and even if we join forces, we don't have full confidence, so it is better not to cause extra trouble."
Huang Ying's secret conversation was only a short few breaths, Zhang Ling came back to his senses and looked at the two of them. Huang Ying didn't say much, but looked at the cyan jade bottle in her hand, and put the jade bottle back into the black storage bag.
Zhang Ling naturally saw this scene, and his heart sank, thinking that this woman was going to go back on her word. But at the same time as his mind turned, a soft voice sounded in his ear.
"I can give the Cold Jade Pill to fellow Daoist, but I also want to do a deal with you, I wonder what fellow Daoist thinks."
"A deal, what does Fairy Huang mean by this?"
