The Two Bickering Immortals

Li Ming kept walking deeper, but even after walking for nearly ten minutes she didn't see even a single glance of Long Jie.

"Where did he disappeared?"

Just as Li Ming was about to set her next step forward, she collided with an invisible force which almost made her to fall down.

She looked at the area in front of her with confusion. After thinking for a few seconds, Li Ming held up her left hand in front of her and pressed it forward in the thin air.

She took a few steps forward and her hand again touched that invisible force.

But rather than falling backwards like last time, a small smirk appeared on her lips.

"Ah! A protection barrier of such high level!"

At the same moment, both Alvina and Terra came flying towards her.

"What do you find?" Li Ming asked as she kept her hand on the barrier and closed her eyes.

"Both the groups disappeared inside this barrier. The strange thing was if the both of them were going to the same place then why did they took two different routes? We're not able to cross the barrier as it is very powerful. We met each other as we followed the barrier and then we came here. We are sorry Li!" Alvina said in a small voice.

Li Ming opened her eyes and looked at the pixies. The both fairies were looking really sad.

"It's alright. You guys actually did the right thing by coming back. If my guess is not wrong then if we tried to pass this barrier forcefully, either it will revolt against us or it will raise an alarm. Both of these are not good for us."

"Then what are we supposed to do now? Can you disable this barrier?" Terra asked as she looked at Li Ming.

"I'm afraid that I can't." Li Ming said as she looked at the saddened faces of the pixies.

"Ah! Why are your appearance is like you are mourning my death? Though I can't do anything about this barrier but that doesn't mean that I'm completely useless."

With these words Li Ming crouched down on the ground and put her right palm on the moist soil. She closed her eyes and started chanting a spell.

Just in a few seconds, her hand started glowing in bright green color and for the next ten minutes, Li Ming stayed there, crouched on the ground with her eyes closed.

*******

At a slightly higher ground level, a little further away, two men were observing every move of Li Ming.

When the pixies first appeared, it shocked Zhang Yong so much. He had never seen anything like that in the cultivation world before.

"What are these two?" He asked.

"Ming usually calls them little pixies or fairies. I don't know much about them but one thing is sure.....!"

When Zhang Yong didn't get a response to the last sentence, he looked at the Evernight Lord with raised eyebrows.

Ruoshan sighed as he said, "That they are not from this world."

There was silence for a few moments before the both of them again focused their attention on the girl and her two little companions.

They saw when the pixies returned and sadly confirmed their failure.

"Do you think she will try to forcefully get through the barrier?" Zhang Yong asked after a moment.

But the next second he received his answer when Li Ming replied to the pixies about not being able to get the shield down.

The two immortals kept their gazes on Li Ming as she crouched down on the ground and after a few seconds the green light covered her hand.

"What do you think she's doing?" Zhang Yong once again asked.

But this time Ruoshan was completely irritated by his constant nagging.

"Why the hell are you asking me all these questions? How am I supposed to know what she's going to do or not?  Moreover it was you who have been around her for more than past five months!"

Zhang Yong looked at the Ever night Lord with equal irritation.

"What do you mean by that? It's not like I have been around her all day and night!"

And just like that the two powerful immortals started bickering like little children, in the middle of the night at the Thundering Peaks.

Who knew where and when their fight would have ended, if they were not disturbed by the voices that were approaching them very quickly.

"Ming'er.....!"

"Ming...!"

Both the men said at once. Their first reaction after listening to the voices, which definitely belonged to the disciples of Guixian Land, was to protect Li Ming. But to their heroic dismay, she had already teleported away.

*******

Li Ming appeared inside the cave room which was given to her by the Fourth Prince for the night stay.

It was already two hours past midnight and she had no idea if Ruoshan and Zhang Yong were still busy in their glaring contest or if it was already over.

But she was too much tired to care about that. All that matters at the moment was that she had now all the information that she wanted.

There were still three days before the full moon. And just in three days, she needed to come up with a perfect plan to snatch away the 'White Pearl Lotus' under the noses of the Guixian Land disciples and Zhang Yong.

Though she had a feeling that it would not be hard to deal with Zhang Yong but the same couldn't be said about the Supreme Immortal.

She had a very bad feeling about going against the Supreme Immortal. But she didn't have much of a choice, did she?

She laid down on the bed and closed her eyes. All the tiredness of the entire day made her fall asleep immediately. That's why when the two immortals appeared inside her room, she was already deep in her dream world.

After making sure that she was back under their protection unharmed, the two immortals lords left the room.
