Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1887: Chapter 1885: The Meadow

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to already have a premonition. In that direction should be the place where Chu Chengfeng and Sima Xiaowen disappeared for the last time.

They had been to that meadow before, but hadn’t gone inside. They only checked it once with their Divine Sense. Now they should go see whether there were any Formations or Barriers there.

Xiao Bai responded, then took the White Wolf and ran into the house.

Gu Qiaoqiao put on a sunhat, changed into clothes and sneakers, and after arming herself, went to look for Elder Sima.

It was impossible to say Xiao Bao had seen it, so instead she told Elder Sima about the information Xiao Bai had discovered. Elder Sima was overjoyed and hurriedly led Gu Qiaoqiao toward that meadow.

As they walked, he spoke, "Back then, the Old Clan Leader had the highest Cultivation in the entire Phoenix Clan, so he could easily see the difference between two spatial Barriers. But now, even if we exhaust the full strength of the clan, we no longer have that ability. Everyone has been very anxious these past few days."

"This isn’t something we can rush." Gu Qiaoqiao comforted him gently.

"I know that too. Everything has to follow fate."

Because Gu Qiaoqiao was, after all, not a member of the Phoenix Clan, it wasn’t convenient for others to be present outside when she was using divine abilities.

This time, in searching for those two people, only Elder Sima stayed by her side, so they were the only two who came to the meadow.

They had come here once yesterday, just circling around the edges. The view here was very open; after all, besides the distant mountains and forests, there was nothing else to block the sight.

But now this direction was basically the same as what Xiao Bai and Xiao Bao had described. So had the two of them vanished here? As Gu Qiaoqiao pondered, she slowly walked toward the center of the meadow.

Standing in the middle of the meadow, Gu Qiaoqiao focused her mind and held her breath, spreading all of her perception out around her. She carefully examined whether there were any unusual disturbances in the air, and at the same time sensed with her heart.

She didn’t know why, but today her feeling was exceptionally clear, as if although those two had no danger to their lives, their condition was far from ideal.

As for just how bad it was, Gu Qiaoqiao simply couldn’t deduce it at this moment.

She couldn’t tell Elder Sima about this sudden thought either; that would only frighten him. Gu Qiaoqiao suppressed her thoughts from just now and tried her best to concentrate all her attention on searching for the traces of the two of them.

Elder Sima was also examining the surroundings.

His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he too sensed some unpleasant aura, but he didn’t dare be certain, nor did he dare to make reckless guesses.

After checking one round and finding nothing, his gaze fell on Gu Qiaoqiao.

He saw this little girl closing her eyes tightly and sensing, then saw Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly crouch down and place her fingers on the tips of the grass beside her. Then she stood up again and actually walked forward with her eyes closed.

Fortunately, it was all meadow here, but Elder Sima still silently ran up and followed by Gu Qiaoqiao’s side in case she suddenly tripped or was bitten by a suddenly appearing poisonous snake or insect.

Just then, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly stopped in one spot. There was no wild grass here. It seemed that, in the past, this should have been a dried-up lake. The ground formed a basin shape, not high, with about a half-meter slope, gently slanting, and on top lay a layer of cobblestones. In the gaps between the cobblestones, tiny blades of grass sprouted, some with small purple flowers blooming on their leaves, swaying slightly in the wind.

Elder Sima frowned tightly. It seemed as though he had been here before, but how had he never discovered such a place?

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly stretched out her right hand and began a Sky-drawing Talisman. Streaks of golden light flickered at her fingertips.

Elder Sima didn’t know much about talismans, but he also knew that at this very moment Gu Qiaoqiao was struggling to draw a powerful talisman, because he noticed fine beads of sweat on the little girl’s nose and forehead.

After a long while, Gu Qiaoqiao let her fingers fall weakly. She had already drawn several, but this Heaven-reaching Talisman still hadn’t been completed.

Standing on the cobblestones, she looked at Elder Sima, who was anxiously watching her beside her, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Elder Sima, there’s a strange Barrier in this place. I’ve analyzed that there might be an isolated space here, or in other words, another world."

Elder Sima rushed over and examined it carefully. A trace of delight suddenly flashed in his eyes. Perhaps due to a father’s instinct, at this moment he seemed to sense his daughter’s faint aura here. But it didn’t feel very good. Could it be that something had happened to those two?

The old man’s heart, which had still been relatively calm, suddenly grew flustered. He asked anxiously, "Qiaoqiao, you feel it’s right here? I just sensed it too, but why does the aura feel wrong? My chest feels panicked."

Gu Qiaoqiao fell silent for a moment. "I feel the same. I just didn’t say it because I was afraid you’d worry. I was drawing a Heaven-reaching Talisman just now, but unfortunately it still failed at the last step."

Elder Sima silently looked in the direction Gu Qiaoqiao pointed, his brows knotted tightly. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to Gu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, wait for me here for a bit. I’ll go to the Divine Land Hall to get two things for you. They should be helpful for the talismans you’re practicing."

After he finished speaking, Elder Sima sprinted madly in the direction of the Divine Land Hall and disappeared from the meadow in the blink of an eye.

Because she had used far too much spiritual power just now, Gu Qiaoqiao sat wearily down on the cobblestones.

It seemed that in this past year or so she hadn’t used this much Spiritual Energy and spiritual power.

She tugged at the corner of her mouth, unable to help feeling worried inside.

She hadn’t had this feeling yesterday, but today it was very strong. Was it because they were getting closer to them?

Fortunately, they truly had no danger to their lives, but she still didn’t know their exact situation, nor did she know what Elder Sima had gone back to retrieve.

Elder Sima returned to the Phoenix Clan Divine Temple to retrieve two things: the town-temple Nirvana Stone and the Phoenix Clan divine object, the Red Phoenix.

He found several elders and told them about the discovery just now.

The elders agreed without hesitation. After all, nothing was more important than finding Elder Mo Li. Besides, as far as Gu Qiaoqiao’s various connections were concerned, she already counted as half a member of the Phoenix Clan.

The higher Gu Qiaoqiao’s abilities, the more beneficial it would be for them in the future. After all, who doesn’t like powerful friends and companions?

Seeing that they all agreed, Elder Sima no longer hesitated and didn’t let the other elders follow, because he was worried that when Gu Qiaoqiao was Drawing Talisman Spells, distractions might cause other problems. Moreover, those were Secret Techniques unique to the Gu Family, and he certainly wouldn’t let others see them.

However, those elders still stayed in the woods outside, keeping an eye on the situation here.

They also set up Barriers around the area to prevent any large wild beasts from coming over.

Carrying those two items, Elder Sima quickly arrived at the place where Gu Qiaoqiao was staying.
