After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 33 Heavenly Bloodline

"Shen Xu, you seem a little unhappy. What did Elder Yan say to you?" Wu Qi asked with concern.

"It's nothing! Didn't I say I'd treat you to dinner? The sect's fasting pills are too awful, I have to try something different today!" Shen Xu couldn't help but complain.

"It's not just you who thinks this way, everyone in the sect thinks this way. What kind of lousy alchemist did the sect invite? He insisted that you shouldn't eat too much Bigu pills and that you should eat more real food, so he made Bigu pills like shit."

The key is that you know it's shit, but you still have to swallow it. If I ever see that damn alchemist, I'll beat the shit out of him." Wu Qi clearly also deeply resented the sect's fasting pills.

Shen Xu then realized that it wasn't his sense of taste that was wrong; the sect's alchemist was indeed forcibly feeding him excrement. This made him want to have a good talk with that alchemist to see who was tougher, his words or his fists.

"We're about to eat, let's stop talking about these disgusting topics!" Fortunately, Shen Xu stopped the bleeding in time, and the topic of the Bigu Pill didn't ultimately affect his appetite.

In a private room on the second floor of the cafeteria, Wu Qi looked at the table full of food and couldn't help but exclaim, "Shen Xu, you've really struck it rich! You even dare to squander Qi-Nourishing Pills."

"A whole table of food isn't enough to shut you up! If you won't eat it, I will."

"This is heaven!" Shen Xu couldn't help but shed tears as he chewed the food in his mouth. Even dogs wouldn't eat the Bigu Pill.

"Shen Xu, tell me what you did this time. Why couldn't I find you at Cui Ling Lake?" Wu Qi asked while eating.

“I’ve gone to Crimson Valley, of course you won’t find me.”

"Then what is your meaning of water?"

"Look!" Shen Xu stretched out his palm, and saw droplets of water condense on his palm, eventually turning into a small pool of clear water.

"I knew you could do it, kid. Now you really have the ability to go toe-to-toe with Shen Guangjian," Wu Qi said excitedly.

"Then what about your cultivation level?"

"Mo Shan gave me all five hundred Qi Nourishing Pills, and with the Spirit Nourishing Fruit I found in the Blood Valley, breaking through to the next realm is just a matter of time."

"It's actually a Spirit-Nourishing Fruit! You're really lucky, kid. I heard there are monkeys in Blood Valley that can brew wine with Spirit-Nourishing Fruits. I really want to try what Yuan Monkey Wine tastes like."

"Unfortunately, only the inner sect's canteen sells a small quantity, and I heard that once it's on sale, it's instantly snapped up, so ordinary people can't get a taste at all," Wu Qi said with some longing.

"There will be opportunities!" Shen Xu comforted him.

"So, what is this interesting thing you mentioned?"

"Haha, I can't help but laugh when I think about this. Wasn't there a rumor that you died in Cui Ling Lake because of that heavy rain? Then Shen Guangjian found out about this and started searching Cui Ling Lake under the pretext of retrieving your body."

Anyone with eyes can see he's after your sword. There are probably still people suffering underwater right now, searching for that sword that's not even in Emerald Spirit Lake!

"How could such a thing happen? He really has no shame!" Shen Xu's face immediately darkened.

“Shen Xu, although your strength has improved significantly, Shen Guangjian is not an ordinary Qi Cultivation Level 7 cultivator. If you really can't beat him, prioritize survival and don't be reckless,” Wu Qi advised.

“Wu Qi, I understand your thinking, but I must win that battle,” Shen Xu said earnestly.

Upon hearing Shen Xu's reply, Wu Qi laughed and said, "Since you've put it that way, what can I, as your friend, say? I can only wait for you to eat me out of house and home."

Although they ordered a large table of dishes, Shen Xu and his companion devoured them in no time, leaving only scraps. Shen Xu ate most of it, while Wu Qi didn't eat much.

After a hearty meal, Shen Xu lay back in his chair and rubbed his round belly. "It's a pity I didn't bring that jar of wine with me. Otherwise, with such delicious food and fine wine, it would be like living in paradise. Wu Qi could also have tasted the Yuanhou wine he's been longing for."

"I wonder what Feng Bao is doing now?" Thinking of Yuan Hou Wine, Shen Xu couldn't help but recall those black eyes.

……

The Blood Valley was unusually quiet at night. At this moment, the Wind Leopard was guarding the empty jar, seemingly asleep.

A full moon hung high in the sky above the valley, its silvery light shining through the cracks above the cave onto the wind leopard's smooth, black fur, then merging into its body.

As the moonlight was absorbed by the wind leopard, its entire body emitted a soft, faint white fluorescence, gradually suspending itself in the moonlight.

The Wind Leopard had a dream. In the dream, it was in a dark space. In the center of the dream, there stood a giant black tree, its trunk so thick that it seemed to stretch to the sky and connect with the earth. Its canopy was vast and boundless, like another mysterious realm.

Eight moons of different shapes hang from the treetops, as if bound by an ancient force, fixed in their respective positions, yet seemingly poised to break free and fall to the earth at any moment.

Every moon has its unique shape; some are as full as a jade plate, some are as crescent as a new moon, and some are as fragmented as a broken dream. But all of them emit a bright, clear light that is both serene and mysterious.

Beneath the giant tree, all was deathly still; amidst the interplay of light and shadow, time flowed by, yet the giant tree seemed eternally unchanged.

In the dream, the wind leopard stood in front of a giant tree and suddenly felt an irresistible attraction. The moon above the tree drew its gaze, and even its soul, making it unable to resist wanting to get closer to one of the moons.

It was completely unable to resist the attraction from the depths of its blood, so it walked with graceful steps slowly into the fragmented moonlight that had drawn it in.

Just as the wind leopard stepped into the moonlight, a bright beam of moonlight shone directly onto its body from the bright moon in the sky.

Meanwhile, in a sacred place in Zhongzhou, the black stone skin of a huge statue standing in the center of the forbidden area began to crumble inch by inch.

The crescent moon mark on the statue's forehead emitted a faint light, and then an incomparably dazzling silver light instantly illuminated the entire holy site, echoing the bright moon in the sky.

"That direction leads to the Wind Leopard Forest!"

"Observing the fluctuations of spiritual energy is not something we can interfere with. It would be better to report it to the sect."

Several sect elders in the Crimson Valley gathered together, their faces solemn as they watched the pillar of light.

"Finally!" Su Jing looked at the beam of moonlight, unable to hide his excitement.

At this moment, the wind leopard's body, bathed in moonlight, began to shrink little by little until it was reduced to one-third of its original size. Suddenly, a silver crescent moon mark appeared on its forehead, like a brand of the Great Dao, radiating an incomparably soft moonlight.

Just after the shattered moon mark appeared, the wind leopard's fur began to gradually change from black to a mysterious dark purple. Silver moonlight runes appeared on the dark purple fur, and then disappeared.

As the moonlight faded, the wind leopard slowly landed on the ground. Its deep, dark eyes suddenly opened, flashing with an incomparably cunning and intelligent light.

The moonlight suddenly intensified, turning the entire night as bright as day. Then, a surging wave of energy crashed into the Green Bamboo Mountains, causing the earth to tremble and the mountains to shake.

The vital energy of the Green Bamboo Mountain Range immediately became chaotic, and a huge gap in the vital energy was shattered, allowing a massive amount of vital energy to escape outside the Green Bamboo Mountain Range.

"Not good!" The sect leader of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect changed his expression drastically after feeling the tremors of the mountain range. He immediately transformed into a streak of azure light and brought Qin Yunzhu to the rift in the primordial energy.

He summoned a green bamboo branch from the rift in the primordial energy and continuously poured in a massive amount of primordial energy. As the primordial energy was poured in, the bamboo branch continued to grow and enlarge until it completely covered the rift in the primordial energy.

Meanwhile, in the Crimson Valley, which was most severely impacted, all living beings lay prostrate on the ground, too afraid to move. There was not a sound, not even a whisper of wind; it was shrouded in deathly silence. Moreover, all the vital energy in the entire valley had been squeezed out, instantly turning it into a void of energy.

A beam of bright moonlight fell beside the Wind Leopard. The man in black robes looked at the crescent moon mark on the Wind Leopard's forehead and couldn't help but smile. Then he slowly lifted the hood of his head, revealing a crescent moon mark on his forehead, long silver-white hair, and a face that seemed to belong to a celestial being.

"Come with me! I will take you to the tribe's territory to complete the final ceremony."

The full moon on the silver-haired man's forehead and the shattered moon on the wind leopard's forehead resonated with each other, and the wind leopard immediately understood the meaning of his words. This was the first time in its life that it had communicated so clearly.

This feeling intrigued the wind leopard, which carefully used the crescent moon on its forehead to convey a single word to the silver-haired man: "Clan territory?"

The silver-haired man didn't speak, but a crescent moon flashed on his forehead, and Feng Bao immediately understood many things.

"Wait a minute, I have something to take with me!"

"Humans cannot!"

"why?"

"Humans have limited lifespans and are not worth wasting emotions on."

"But I want to see him!"
