After pondering for a while, Gu Ya frowned and said, "I can't guarantee it, but I'll try my best to protect us."
After saying that, the storage ring on Gu Ya's right hand lit up slightly, and an old-looking compass appeared in her hand. Gu Ya held the compass with both hands, closed her eyes, and sat cross-legged.
Xu Ning and Yuan Yi exchanged a glance, then stood on each side of Gu Ya. The spiritual power in their bodies quietly flowed and was ready to be unleashed.
The spiritual power was injected into the compass and it gave off a faint light. With the help of the compass, Gu Ya began to carefully observe the flow of energy in the surroundings...
After a while, Gu Ya opened her eyes. Her beautiful face was full of joy. When the two of them saw this, they immediately felt that there was hope.
Sure enough, the next moment, Gu Ya said excitedly, "Big brother, Yuan Yi, I've found a way to break this array."
Before the two of them could ask anything, Gu Ya continued, "But I still need the two of you to continue protecting me for a period of time."
Xu Ning nodded and said, "No problem. You can do whatever you want."
"Okay!"
Gu Ya's storage ring flashed with a ray of light again, and a pale golden ancient sword appeared in her hand. Then, she directly stabbed it into the ground in front of her.
Yuan Yi's eyes immediately widened when he saw the full appearance of this sword. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Formation-breaking Ancient Dust Sword! Isn't this Heavenly Dao Sect's formation-breaking treasure?"
"Eh, I didn't expect you, a little Daoist, to actually know our sect's treasure. However, this isn't the real thing. It's just a replica. The real thing is in the sect. How could the elders let me bring it out?"
Gu Ya glanced at Yuan Yi and explained casually.
Yuan Yi nodded in agreement and said bluntly, "That's true. However, even though it's a replica, its power can not be underestimated. After all, it's a replica of the real Ancient Dust Sword."
Gu Ya gave a thumbs up in agreement. She thought to herself, this little Daoist really knows his stuff.
On the other side, Xu Ning touched and listened to their conversation. He still understood that Gu Ya's sword was a very powerful treasure, but that was not important. What was important now was to quickly break the array and find the person.
At the thought of this, Xu Ning urged, "Gu Ya, hurry up and break the array. We don't have much time."
Gu Ya replied when she heard this. She closed her eyes again and sat cross-legged.
Gu Ya held the compass with her right hand and pointed the sword at the compass with her left hand. She chanted an ancient and difficult-to-understand incantation, and golden characters floated in front of her.
Xu Ning and Yuan Yi were amazed by this scene. They could only say that she was indeed a genius disciple of a large sect. She was so impressive even when she used a secret technique.
The runes that could not be understood slowly surged into the Ancient Dust Sword in front of Gu Ya. As the runes surged into the Ancient Dust Sword, it hummed and emitted a weak golden sword aura. That weak sword aura...in an instant, it transformed from an old and ordinary-looking ancient sword into a peerless sharp sword.
Xu Ning could even sense a dangerous aura from the sword. This discovery made him a little surprised. He had a rough idea of the strength of his current physical body, the middle level four Minotaur from before, for example, even if Xu Ning stood still and was beaten by it, the Minotaur would not be able to harm him at all.
"As expected of a disciple of the sect. Just this sword alone can make me feel a dangerous aura."
Xu Ning thought to himself.
Before long, the last character surged into the Ancient Dust Sword's body. The ancient dust sword instantly burst with golden light, and an ancient and sharp sword intent soared into the sky. Immediately after, the Ancient Dust Sword transformed into a streak of golden light and pierced toward a certain spot in the black fog.
Then, the three of them heard the sound of glass shattering. As the sound rang out, the black fog around them quickly dispersed...
"Are you okay?"
Xu Ning withdrew his spiritual power and went to support Gu Ya, who was covered in sweat and panting.
Gu Ya forced a smile at Xu Ning and said tiredly, "Big brother, fortunately, I didn't fail you."
Xu Ning was stunned when he heard that. Then, he smiled and transferred a bit of spiritual power into Gu Ya's body to ease her exhaustion.
Gu Ya's expression became much better when she felt the heat flow in her body. However, if she were to stand on her own, she would probably still be unable to stand properly.
Fortunately, at this moment, Yuan Yi took out a pill and handed it to her. "Fairy Gu, this is an energy recovery pill from my Dao Sect. I prepared some before I left the house. You've used up a lot of your spiritual power, so take it and adjust your breathing."
Gu Ya did not refuse Yuan Yi's pill and stuffed it into her mouth with much difficulty. Then, she began to chew on it.
After swallowing it into her stomach, the power of the pill spread out. The spiritual power in Gu Ya's body quickly traveled along her meridians for two big cycles. Before long, her spiritual power had almost fully recovered.
On the other side, Xu Ning also stopped channeling spiritual power and directly let go of Gu Ya when he felt that her condition was almost better.
"Phew, she's alright!"
Gu Ya let out a breath and comfortably stretched her delicate body. Her delicate boobs, which were a size smaller than Aili's, trembled a little. Of course, this did not attract the attention of Xu Ning and Yuan Yi.
One had seen, touched, sucked, and had better resistance, while the other was a pure Taoist who did not get close to women.
After tidying up, Xu Ning said, "We don't have much time. Let's keep going."
"Okay, boss."
"Yuan Yi, please lead the way."
Yuan Yi nodded and replied yes. He once again walked in front of the two of them, looking for the weak demonic aura at the foot of the mountain. As for why he deliberately looked for that aura, of course, it was because it was correct to follow the path of that aura...the demons and formations they encountered along the way were the best proof.
Of course, there was also the most important point that Yuan Yi did not tell the two of them. That aura at the foot of the mountain had some traces of deliberate concealment. That concealment technique was very superb. If it was not for Yuan Yi's high-level secret technique...the three of them might have already gone off somewhere.
The three of them once again walked along the small path. The pitch-black and lonely forest made the three of them appear so thin.
After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Yi stopped in his tracks. He looked solemnly at a dilapidated wooden house that appeared in front of everyone. The end of the aura was here.
Xu Ning looked at the dilapidated wooden house in front of him and narrowed his eyes. He could feel that the small house in front of him was enveloped by some kind of evil power.
"Gu Ya, Yuan Yi, the two of you follow behind me. Just in case, I'll scout the way."
After saying that, Xu Ning took the lead and carefully approached the wooden house. Gu Ya and Yuan Yi obediently followed behind him. This was also expected. Xu Ning was the strongest among them, the two of them were originally there to assist Xu Ning in training.
This time, their training was almost done. They fought monsters and broke the formation.
Right now, the house was most likely the residence of the middle-level demon. Against the middle-level demon, the two of them could only stand aside and silently cheer for Xu Ning.
