Chu Zhiyuan took out the golden jade heart contract, focused his mind, and injected a special aura.
After a moment, he shook his head with dissatisfaction, "They haven't gone far, the fight is fierce enough."
Through the induction of the golden jade heart contract, none of them could escape too far from Yujing City.
This is the result of infighting.
Sometimes they go far away, then come back, then go far away again, and finally come back again.
Because after they snatch one piece, they want to snatch the second, third, and fourth pieces.
Only after collecting all four jade pendants can they obtain the Evil Emperor's inheritance.
"Ah!"
"Hee hee!"
Xu Yingying and Shen Hanyue coquettishly giggled from time to time.
Two spirit cats suddenly accelerated and disappeared, appearing on Chu Zhiyuan's shoulders the next moment.
They rubbed their heads against Chu Zhiyuan's chin.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and stroked them, making them squint their eyes.
This made Xu Yingying and Shen Hanyue extremely envious, running back to the small pavilion, plopping down, and gulping down tea.
Xiao Ruoling shook her head with a smile.
Xu Yingying glanced at a spirit cat and hummed, "Such a bad fellow."
Shen Hanyue said, "How did you get these little things?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "In the secret land of the Feitian Sect, even grandmasters can't deal with them."
Shen Hanyue said, "Are there any more?"
"You want to get one?" Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "You can't deal with them, they won't be tamed."
"This little fellow is too fast." Shen Hanyue immediately became dejected.
Xu Yingying smiled and stood up, "I'll go for a while."
She floated away.
Shen Hanyue looked at her in confusion, watching her graceful figure disappear, "What is she up to?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.
"I'll go take a look." Shen Hanyue said and followed her out.
Chu Zhiyuan touched the two spirit cats, gently flicked them, and they flew up, landing on Xiao Ruoling's fragrant shoulders.
Xiao Ruoling happily stroked them, and smiled, "Are they very powerful?"
"Many experts from the Feitian Sect have died at the hands of their kind."
"So brutal?"
"Their speed is like lightning, and their claws can break through spiritual energy protection, making it easy to kill grandmasters."
"These two little fellows are so fierce." Xiao Ruoling gently stroked them, making them squint their eyes.
They felt Chu Zhiyuan's aura on Xiao Ruoling.
Xu Yingying and Shen Hanyue reappeared, holding several pieces of roasted meat in their hands.
Seeing them lying on Xiao Ruoling's shoulders, they immediately became very jealous, glaring at Chu Zhiyuan with dissatisfaction.
This was really showing favoritism, the two little fellows didn't know who was family, it must be Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled without saying a word.
Shen Hanyue looked very proud, "Little darling, come on, eat it quickly."
The spirit cat just stared, but didn't pounce over.
Xu Yingying said, "Don't they like roasted meat? What do they like?"
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "They like roasted meat, but they won't eat yours."
"That's not necessarily true." Shen Hanyue refused to give up and kept teasing it, even bringing the roasted meat closer to it.
But it leaped up and landed on Chu Zhiyuan's shoulder.
Shen Hanyue chased after it again, bending down to bring the roasted meat closer to it.
It leaped into the air again, vigilantly staring at the roasted meat, and then at Shen Hanyue.
"This little fellow is really stubborn!" Shen Hanyue was helpless.
Xu Yingying shook her head and said, "It seems we can't bribe them."
As she spoke, she threw a piece of roasted meat into the sky.
The two spirit cats immediately turned their heads to stare at it, but they didn't move, letting it fall to the ground.
Xu Yingying hummed, "I admire them."
She could see that they liked it very much, but they could restrain themselves.
These were demon beasts, not humans, and their instincts should be dominant.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "They are very clever and won't be easily fooled."
"Little clever ones." Xu Yingying came over, squeezed beside Xiao Ruoling, and stared at the spirit cat.
The spirit cat also looked at her.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Alright, don't tease them too much, they are demon beasts after all, not children."
The two spirit cats leaped gracefully, landing on the shoulders of the two women respectively.
Having received Chu Zhiyuan's instructions and comfort, they finally became close to them.
Xu Yingying and Shen Hanyue were immediately delighted, stroking them with smiles on their faces.
Then they fed them roasted meat, and this time they finally ate it.
They ate voraciously, extremely quickly.
Their small bellies could actually hold roasted meat bigger than themselves, making the two women marvel.
Chu Zhiyuan let the two spirit cats play with them, and took Xiao Ruoling back into the house, showed her what he had obtained, and asked her to help identify it.
The next day, Chu Zhiyuan came to the Feitian Sect again.
Lu Donghu once again brought two elders and Qu Ying to welcome him.
Chu Zhiyuan exchanged a few words with them, and then walked towards the entrance of the secret land.
Lu Donghu's expression was as usual, and he said with emotion, "Shizi, Xiao Ying has already told me what you said."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Sect Leader doesn't need to pay attention to my nonsense."
He said those words because he was moved by Qu Ying's sincerity.
Every sect has its rise and fall, and no sect can prosper forever.
The decline of the Feitian Sect has an impact on the imperial court, but the impact is not that great.
The Zhenwu Division has both experts from the four major sects and experts from the army, and now there are more and more experts from the army, so there is no need to worry about the Zhenwu Division having no experts available.
Of course, it would be best if the Feitian Sect does not decline.
Lu Donghu shook his head, "Shizi is right, now that I think about it, we were indeed blinded by greed."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "You could actually wait a little longer, wait for Grandmaster Jiang, who is stationed in the secret land, to come back before exploring."
Lu Donghu said, "Uncle Jiang only comes back once every few years."
He admitted that he underestimated the secret land, and was also blinded by the benefits of the secret land.
Uncle Jiang is firmly inclined towards the imperial court, and once he comes back, he will definitely advocate reporting it to the imperial court.
So he wanted to explore the secret land before him and obtain more benefits.
Moreover, Uncle Huang is a grandmaster, and Uncle Qu and Uncle Liu are also grandmasters, so it is not necessary for him to enter the secret land together.
He never expected the secret land to be so dangerous,
Chu Zhiyuan said, "It's best to wait a little longer, this time it's spirit cats, but as far as I know, spirit cats are not the strongest demon beasts in the secret land."
Lu Donghu's face was solemn, "There are even stronger ones?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Judging from the size of these spirit cats, they are of the agile assassination type, there must be even more powerful demon beasts, what will you do if you encounter them next time?"
"They all have their own territories, right?" Lu Donghu said.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Not all demon beasts have their own territories, but most of them do."
Lu Donghu slowly said, "Then we won't go deep inside, we'll just stay in the current area."
"Alright." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
This secret land is different from the secret land of the Yaoyue Palace, the secret land of the Yaoyue Palace leads to different locations each time you enter.
But this secret land is obviously not like that.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be attacked by spirit cats every time they enter.
For a newly encountered secret land, this is actually better,
So it is said that fortune and misfortune depend on each other, it is difficult to say what is good or bad.
Chu Zhiyuan bid farewell to them, took the two spirit cats, and stepped into the secret land.
The scene in front of him suddenly blurred, and then turned into a dense forest.
The trees were lush and verdant, with rolling dewdrops on the leaves like mercury.
The air was humid with a strange fragrance. Chu Zhiyuan's extrasensory perception had already spread out, and he stepped on the treetops and floated away.
The fruits that the spirit cats didn't like were on the cliffs not far away.
And on that cliff, there were also two red fruit trees, which were the red fruits that could enhance the spirit.
In addition to the red fruit trees, there was also a golden flower, which was recognized by Xiao Ruoling as similar to a spiritual flower in the secret land of the Yaoyue Palace, which has the effect of nourishing the soul.
