The fishhook hovered a hundred feet above the strange creature that looked like a giant pupa, with a red object that looked like flesh and nephrite hanging from the tip of the hook.
The giant pupa remained motionless, as if it had no awareness of it. However, in the next moment, a bunch of white filaments suddenly appeared out of thin air and rolled towards the fishhook extremely quickly.
Elder Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands holding the fishing rod were as steady as a rock.
This bunch of filaments is slightly different from those floating in the air. They look more pliable, their color is more concentrated, as smooth as jade, and they reveal a vitality.
The filament tightly binds the fishhook together with the bait on the hook, and the fishing line immediately tightens. Elder Jiang's eyes flashed, and the spiritual patterns on the dark green fishing rod lit up one after another like flowers growing.
She made a gesture to close the rod, as if she was wrestling with the thin threads. The fishing rod bent into a bow, and the spiritual lines were astonishingly bright.
The giant chrysalis finally took action. The end with five tentacles was slightly raised, as if it was pulled off the ground by some force, while the other end was sweeping left and right as if struggling.
As the filament was dragged by the fishhook and moved towards Elder Jiang, the giant pupa struggled more and more fiercely. There was a hint of solemnity in Elder Jiang's expression, and the consciousness of the Mahayana realm swept around him like a vast ocean. Seven things similar to the previous piece of bait flew out of the small basket, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, and then he saw another fish. The shaped jade pendant jumped out of the small basket and turned into a small brocade fish swimming in the air. The space it passed through was like ripples in the water.
After deploying many defensive measures, Elder Jiang did not forget to tell Yu Xian to stay away from him. All of this was to prepare for the giant chrysalis' violent counterattack. Faced with the mysterious creature that had wiped out the dying Beast King, even as a Mahayana monk, she had to be careful.
Seeing that the giant pupa was about to be completely caught, suddenly, another bunch of white filaments appeared less than three feet in front of Elder Jiang.
They are like strange snakes lurking in the void, bypassing the enemy's various means and launching an unpreventable attack.
Not only did Elder Jiang's expression change dramatically, Yu Xianqian Xiaocai and the elder from the Wufeng Sword Sect also had their hearts beating wildly and their pupils constricting.
The filament came too close and too fast. Elder Jiang made a quick decision, let go of the fishing rod and disappeared instantly. It turned out that he had directly teleported.
The attack of the filaments failed, but they did not return, but seemed to have entered an invisible portal.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Elder Jiang's figure appeared on the spot again.
She looked at the thin thread wrapped around her wrist, her face full of shock and astonishment.
The expressions of others also changed, especially the elders of the Wufeng Sword Sect. As a Mahayana monk, he could clearly see that in the scene just now, the thin threads intercepted Elder Jiang's teleportation process and grabbed the person directly out of the turbulence in space.
Being able to block the teleportation of Mahayana monks so easily, he knew exactly what this meant.
The filament suddenly pulled, and Elder Jiang leaned forward. In an instant, the person and the filament disappeared together, and then appeared less than two hundred miles away from the giant chrysalis.
The terrifying spiritual storm swept around with Elder Jiang as the center, and space cracks spread like spider webs, covering half of the sky in an instant.
She was using this rough method to resist the power of space controlled by the filaments to prevent herself from being taken to the giant chrysalis.
Soon enough, Yu Xian immediately threw a stone bead-like projectile. With a strike of her hand, the projectile exploded, and an aura more powerful than the Mahayana realm swept across the sun and the moon.
That was one of the life-saving cards given to her by the elders in her sect after she advanced to the realm of virtual reality.
This trump card was used on Elder Jiang, and a wisp of auspicious clouds quietly formed around her. The fluttering cloud seemed harmless, but the moment it took shape, the white filaments wrapped around Elder Jiang's wrist immediately corroded and turned into slag.
At the same time that Yu Xian threw the projectile, Qian Xiaocai and the man from the Wufeng Sword Sect both made moves.
The colorful silk behind Qian Xiaocai grew in the wind and turned into a river reaching the sky. The river water divided into countless small streams, bypassing the cracks in the space, gathering beside Elder Jiang, and rolled it up, trying to pull the person back.
The Mahayana monk from the Wufeng Sword Sect held a long sword and slashed in the air. Within a distance of less than two hundred miles between Elder Jiang and the giant chrysalis, billions of sword lights erupted in an instant, and the space was like broken porcelain. Broken to such an extent, no matter how powerful the giant chrysalis is, he will not be able to attack Elder Jiang with thin wires for a while.
The three parties took action at the same time, but no one knew which party was responsible for it, causing the giant chrysalis to flick hard as if it was being stimulated, and then let out a scream that was about to pierce a person's eardrum.
At this time, Elder Jiang was sent back to Yu Xian by the auspicious clouds and colorful silks. It could be said that one wave was rising after another. Everyone saw a light yellow air column spurting out from the flower-like front end of the five tentacles of the giant pupa. After an instant, those translucent filaments that were originally floating like rootless duckweeds turned into pure white filaments.
Yu Xian felt that something was not good, and while Xiangyun's lingering power was still there, he immediately let Xiangyun roll up himself and Elder Jiang to retreat.
Just as she was about to run away, she had a thought in her mind and looked towards where Qian Xiaocai was. Qian Xiaocai relied on the external force of the treasure to get here. Although retreat would not be a problem, the speed would definitely be slower than the other two parties.
However, before I could wait for Xiang Yun to drive Xiang Yun to take Qian Xiaocai with him, the elder of the Wufeng Sword Sect escaped with his sword, took Qian Xiaocai and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Yu Xian happened to see Qian Xiaocai put away all his pile of magical artifacts and treasures before being taken away, as if he had expected others to help him. He also put away the colorful silk wrapped around Elder Jiang.
"..."
Without even bothering to express her exclamations, she poured out her spiritual power, and the auspicious clouds shone brightly, wrapping the two of them and disappearing from the spot.
Outside the desert, where the Taichu Temple disciples were staying, light flashed in the sky, and Yu Xian and Elder Jiang fell to the ground.
Dismissing the disciple who came forward to ask, Elder Jiang took a deep breath, relaxed his tense heartstrings, and sighed:
"Thanks to you this time."
Yu Xian waved his hand: "I don't want to talk about this. If I hadn't cultivated myself poorly, I wouldn't have bothered you to take risks."
Elder Jiang smiled and said, "How can everything fall on you? What would you do to us old guys?"
After a pause, she continued: "I have accepted the love of both of them, so I have to find an opportunity to say thank you."
Although it would have been fine even if Qian Xiaocai and the elder of the Wufeng Sword Sect didn't take action at that time, since those two people took action, she owed a favor.
Yu Xian smiled and said: "There is no need to look for opportunities. I think it won't be long before they come to discuss cooperation. After all, no one can invite the supreme seniors out for this matter."
Elder Jiang thought for a moment after hearing this and nodded in agreement.
Yu Xian remembered something and looked at Elder Jiang with doubts in his eyes: "Your magic weapon..."
Earlier, Elder Jiang let go of the fishing rod to avoid the filaments, and the fishing rod was swept away by the first bunch of filaments. That is Elder Jiang's natal magical weapon. The material alone contains a huge amount of energy. If a high-level monster obtains such a thing, even if it cannot swallow it, it will have to erase the imprint of divine consciousness and the spiritual consciousness of the magical weapon inside.
Whether her natal magic weapon was damaged or had its imprint wiped off, she should have been severely injured at this moment.
When Yu Xian said this, Elder Jiang also realized that something was wrong. She first concentrated on sensing, then reached out and made a move——
A dark green fishing rod appeared in her hand.
Except for the missing bait on the hook, the entire fishing rod must be intact without any damage.
The two stared at the fishing rod, stunned.
