Chapter 145: The Fierce Battle Returning to Boundless Realm

Whether it was truly due to nearing the Realm of Snow or for some other reason, Ji Yao and her companion's journey this time had been unusually smooth, which instead bred a lingering sense of unease deep within their hearts.

Soon, they would change their route and enter a town situated near the snow-capped mountains on the southern side of the Western Ridge. Throughout their journey, they had tried their utmost to avoid large cities, visiting only minor trading posts and markets.

Even so, they could still perceive a shift in the atmosphere. Everyone harbored a deep vigilance toward unfamiliar faces, and among the low-level cultivators of the Western Ridge, an inexplicable air of panic and self-preservation pervaded the surroundings.

It would not be appropriate for Ji Yao and Mu Baiyun to deliberately inquire about this, yet entering the town completely blind at this juncture was by no means a wise choice.

Seeing the distant outline of the city walls, Mu Baiyun halted his steps.

"Junior Sister, would you mind lending me your Illusory Spirit Leaf once again? Additionally, I recall you using a certain invisibility talisman back in Fuling City. Do you happen to have any left? If so, please spare me one or two as well."

Taken aback by Mu Baiyun's sudden mention of this matter, Ji Yao froze visibly. Her mind instantly flashed back to the day she had swindled Xuan Si out of the Illusory Spirit Leaf—an incident where she had accepted the invisibility talisman right before Mu Baiyun's very eyes.
