Just when Zhang Lingshuang was furious and wanted to make a big fuss, she noticed that her husband's face was full of doting and he had a sweet smile.

"Try to preserve your strength, let's go!"

At this critical moment, Zhang Lingyun had no interest in arguing with this anxious and naughty junior sister, and immediately waved his hand to disperse the protective barrier that had already taken effect.

"Dang Cang...,"

The arrows that seemed to be floating in the void fell with a sound. Zhang Lingyun released his spiritual power to strengthen the protective barrier, then drew an invisibility charm in the void and threw it out.

Five talismans containing wisps of Zhang Lingyun's spiritual consciousness were automatically attached to several fellow apprentices. As the majestic spiritual power fluctuations in the talismans' seals were activated, everyone disappeared in an instant.

"Third Senior Brother! We are here to participate in a competitive competition. Since we are fighting, it's fine. It would be too cowardly to shrink away from the battle!!"

Zhang Lingshuang, who found out that she was forced to become invisible, immediately began to complain with sadness. It was obvious that she had undergone so many cruel trainings just to get the top spot in this competition.

Now that she has been suppressed by the third senior brother from the beginning, Zhang Lingshuang, a delicate girl who has never been rejected, feels Zhang Lingyun's immense malice and targeting!!

"At least five teams were observing in the dark just now. One of the teams launched an attack test. After receiving no counterattack, a total of two teams quietly approached!"

Zhang Lingyu, who belatedly released the power of his spiritual consciousness, slightly pulled down his wife's sleeve, hinting her to calm down and follow his junior brother's advice, but her arm was violently thrown away.

"Our strength can easily crush those barbarians, we are afraid of what they will do!"

"There are nine countries participating this time...forty-five teams...two hundred and twenty-five people, not including monks from individual countries, vassal contracted beasts, shikigami, etc. The lower profile the better at the beginning!

"

Zhang Lingyun, who felt that the atmosphere around him was a little awkward, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, suppressed the anger in his heart at the young junior sister's retarded idea, and used as calm a tone as possible to relieve his anger.

Seeing that the first wave of people was about to approach, Zhang Lingyun casually pulled up the lapel of his senior brother for safety.

Slow down your breathing rate as much as possible, and try your best to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible without disturbing the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.

"That's not right! Where were those yellow people just now!?"

The first one to arrive was the Knights of the Eagle Kingdom. The leader was a princess with royal blood. Her long brown curly hair was smart and elegant, and her blue eyes were as clear as gems. People who saw it once would never forget it.

"Dear Your Highness Anna, they were still here just now, and here, our arrows are still here!"

The knight in thick silver armor leaned over and picked up the half-part of the shining metal arrow at his feet. After confirming that it was the weapon that they had just fired, he respectfully handed it to the woman for inspection.

"Hmph, you clearly discovered our location, but turned around and ran away. It seems that this so-called 'Zhengyi Sect', one of the top three immortal sects, is just an illusion!"

Although members of the royal family had already obtained the list of contestants from the Qing Dynasty, they also secretly sent people to investigate the general information of everyone.

However, due to the strict confidentiality of martial arts among various sects in this country, even as a princess, she can only explore and discover slowly in the way of blind men and elephants.

"What are the top three in the Immortal Sect? I think they are just gimmicks made up by old people in their twilight years to soothe their fragile hearts!"

"A group of cowardly losers are not worth Her Highness the Princess's troubles. What we need to be most concerned about are those birdmen!"

"I swear by my faith in the Paladin that any crooked evil ways will cease to exist!"

Seeing the arrogant and complacent look on Her Highness the Princess's face, the heavily armored knight immediately echoed and said some disparaging words, while pointing the finger at a competitor from the same kingdom as himself.

"Um, um um...,"

As an immortal cultivator, Zhang Lingshuang's five senses are different from ordinary people, and the distance between the two parties is not far, so the conversation between the princess and her subordinates was transmitted to his ears accurately.

Zhang Lingshuang felt extremely insulted by the insulting words of these natives of the barbaric land, and her already hot temper was instantly ignited.

Zhang Lingshuang suddenly stood up and was about to open her mouth to refute. After arguing with the group of uncultured barbarians, her mouth was covered by a large, slightly rough hand.

The attacker used his strong arms to suddenly grab Zhang Lingshuang's waist and carry him into his arms, making him unable to move for an instant and successfully imprisoned him.

"Sir, those wild monkeys ran away,"

The samurai in tight-fitting plain clothes ran quickly to his companions, knelt down on one knee respectfully, and reported the latest news to the masked man with a cold face next to him.

When the masked man slowly waved his wrist, the warrior stood up carefully, but did not dare to look directly into his eyes.

"Sir, they most likely used the invisibility method. Do you want to release the 'Inugami' to look for traces?"

As several people looked towards the source of the sound, a ninja who was completely hidden in the shadows appeared from the side of a large tree.

“Happy to oblige!”

Behind the ninja is a petite and exquisite woman, wearing a robe as bright as a peach blossom, with a cute smile on her delicate and clean face.

The woman walked slowly out of the shade of the tree, her wrists kept turning, her pink tongue swiped across the corner of her mouth, and an imperceptible bloodthirsty light flashed in her eyes.

"Don't be impatient. Exposing your cards at the beginning is definitely not a strategy that a good chess player should have,"

As the decision-maker of this temporary team, the masked man is not the only Onmyoji. Every time he expresses his opinions, it is an experience that challenges everyone's nerves.

Although it has not touched everyone's bottom line, the less such things happen, the better. After all, if something happens in this foreign country, I'm afraid it will only be exposed in the wilderness!

"Sir, let's go catch the elk now?"

Seeing that several people around him whose life status was higher than his own had turned the atmosphere into such an embarrassing situation, the samurai could only bite the bullet and play the role of peacemaker.

After some hesitation, several people nodded in agreement. The warrior took a long breath and followed everyone away with a smile on his face.

Watching the two teams of contestants leave one after another, Zhang Lingyun released his spiritual consciousness to spread in all directions. After confirming that there were no other teams hiding around, he released a ray of spiritual power to cancel the effect of the invisibility charm.

"Zhang...Ling...Yu, you bastard! The reputation of our sect has been ruined just now, why did you stop me!?"

Zhang Lingshuang, whose anger had been suppressed to the extreme, finally saw that the person imprisoning him was the husband-in-law who was the first choice for the future leader of the Zhengyi Sect, and he immediately became furious and scolded him loudly.

Seeing that Zhang Lingyu still looked unmoved and did not even realize the possible consequences of this behavior, Zhang Lingshuang raised her foot and kicked her husband's calf hard.

"The situation just now is special. A little impatience can mess up a big plan. The second senior brother is right to do this!"

"Little junior sister, we are participating in a competition, are you

Do you want to end the battle now!?”

Seeing that Zhang Lingshuang's super-huge energy didn't seem like a joke, Zhang Lingyun and Zhang Lingxiao took action at the same time, grabbing the little junior sister's arms one on the left and the other on the right to keep her away from the gloomy Zhang Lingyu.

"You are still not disciples of the 'Zhengyi Sect', and you actually got together to show cowardice. Let me go!"

Seeing that everyone agreed with her father-in-law's actions, Zhang Lingshuang, who felt that she had lost everyone's care and love, immediately twisted around and tried to break free from the restraints of the two.

"Pa...,"

As a crisp voice came to mind, everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Lingyu, and saw that his cheeks were slightly red, and a trace of bright red blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Lingshuang, who had acted like a mad woman just now, was so frightened that she instantly became quiet. She twisted her arms very gently and broke free from the hands of the two senior brothers who were hesitant due to shock.

"I didn't mean to deliberately refute your face. You are my husband-in-law, and the damage to the reputation of the 'Zhengyi Sect' will also have an impact on you...,"

Zhang Lingshuang walked slowly towards her husband, who was frowning, took out a handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and whispered soft words.

The few people who have lived together since childhood have some understanding of each other's temperaments, but they have never seen the younger junior sister take the initiative to surrender, and the three of them all showed dumbfounded expressions.

"Let's go over there and wait,"

Zhang Lingyun, who was not in the habit of listening to other people's love stories, waved and pulled his senior brother, who was also embarrassed, and junior brother Feng, who was full of curiosity, and walked towards the shade of a tree not far away.

"Second senior brother, how much he likes my little junior sister! He would rather torture himself than lay a finger on her!"

Zhang Lingfeng, who was sitting cross-legged next to his two senior brothers, felt that the surroundings were too quiet, so he wanted to find something interesting to chat with for a while.

I don't know if the topic I chose was too boring, or if the two senior brothers didn't want to chat with me at all.

After he said these words, the air around him became unusually quiet, as if even his breathing was extremely harsh.

"Ling Yun, Ling Yun, use your talent quickly. Ling Shuang just attached the invisibility charm drawn by the master and left alone in anger!"

Zhang Lingyu's figure moved from far to near, rushing towards the location of everyone at high speed. When he stood firm, he grabbed Zhang Lingyun's shoulders tightly and told the problem with anxiety.

"Second senior brother, don't worry, do you know the direction in which the younger junior sister finally left?"

Zhang Lingyun, who was frowning, raised his hand with difficulty and patted Zhang Lingyu gently to express comfort.

When the other party slowly loosened his shoulders, Zhang Lingyun raised an important question, hoping to narrow the search scope and find the lonely junior sister as soon as possible.

"She activated the talisman, and I released the power of spiritual consciousness at the same time, but Master's purple talisman is too powerful, and I can't find her location even though I'm so close!"

At this time, Zhang Lingyu regretted his actions just now. Knowing that his wife had been pampered and willful since childhood, he actually tried to reason with her and analyze the situation in order for the next game to proceed smoothly.

The two people, who had different views on the problem, finally got into a dispute over their competing opinions, which made Zhang Lingshuang filled with grief and anger. She threatened to settle a score with those people and left angrily.

Thinking that the mother of his child might be in danger and would not be able to explain to the Celestial Master after returning to the sect, Zhang Lingyu only felt as big as his head or two, and waves of tingling pain flooded into his mind.

"I can only give it a try. After all, Master's cultivation level is much higher than mine!"

Zhang Lingyun, who had not obtained any useful information, accepted this task with great embarrassment. Unfortunately, without the blood of his little junior sister as a guide, he could not use a faster guide to find people.

Zhang Lingyun took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. Relying on his innate spirit-gathering physique, he held his breath and concentrated on sensing the fluctuations of spiritual power around him.

As the spiritual energy from all directions surged and flowed like a galaxy and a sea, Zhang Lingyun gradually took the entire jungle into his mind.

Even the positions of many teams were clearly identified, but no single figure was found. He had no choice but to open his eyes helplessly and slowly shake his head towards the crowd.

"Senior brother, don't be anxious. My junior sister has a good cultivation level. If we encounter those barbarians, we still don't know who will win!"

"Junior Brother Feng's words make sense. Since Junior Sister wants to avenge those foreigners, we can just wait and see!"

The junior brother's unintentional words successfully awakened the slow-brained Zhang Lingyun. Since a straight line distance is not feasible, then try a curved strategy to save the country.

As long as the final goal is achieved and the junior sister is found while ensuring everyone's safety, the whole process will not be so important.

"This method is feasible. I will immediately release my spiritual consciousness to find the whereabouts of those people."
