Subconsciously touching the spatial ring containing the food, Lou Xuanzhi and the others silently gave Qiyue a thumbs up in their hearts.

Glancing sideways and out of the corner of her eye, Qi Yue's expressionless face revealed a sinister smile.

Kim Yugyeom, your time has come!

My dear junior sister, you'll be here soon too!

Looking at Jin Shang and the others, Qi Yue parted her red lips slightly and said in a voice that only they could hear, "From now on, take an antidote pill and a spirit-restoring pill every 15 minutes. Eat when you feel hungry and do not try to resist this hunger."

Finally, she added in an icy voice, "Remember, it's food, not fasting pills. Of course, if anyone wants to die, feel free to do so."

Qiyue's voice was unquestionable; as soon as she finished speaking, she took the antidote first.

He exchanged a glance with Lou Xuanzhi and the others, then walked forward.

No one else dared to object and quickly took the pills.

Jin Shang looked at Qi Yue with even more admiration.

As Qiyue led her people forward, Kim Yugyeom, who had been following closely, revealed a vicious smile in his eyes.

"July, July, so what if you're capable? Without your good master and senior brothers and sisters, let's see what you can use to fight me! Your death is just around the corner!"

Xia Wanqing glanced at him cautiously: "Aren't you afraid that those people are hiding among them? You should be careful."

Jin Youqian sneered, "Absolutely impossible. The man surnamed Lou is a ninth-grade array master. As far as I know, he values ​​this female disciple very much. If he had come along, you and I would have been discovered long ago. Besides, how could he bear to let his female disciple go through all that trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Wanqing's beautiful eyes no longer suppressed their gloom: "I see~".

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked in Qiyue's direction as if he were looking at a dead person.

My dear senior sister, I said I'd definitely kill you next time we meet, and I've come to keep my promise!

As she thought about it, a perverted and insane smile appeared on her face, making the disciples who had followed her feel disgusted and regretful.

It would be great if Senior Brother Ye could come along too...

At the same time, Ye Qingyu, who was being punished at Hengyang Sect, sneezed.

Achoo!

Rubbing her nose, Ye Qingyu felt extremely depressed.

Ever since the Tiannan Secret Realm incident, Xia Wanqing has harbored murderous intentions towards him. His situation within the sect is becoming increasingly difficult, and his status as a direct disciple is becoming more and more of a sham...

On the other side, Jin Youqian and Xia Wanqing followed Qiyue and the others after they entered the Forbidden Forest.

Behind them, Ruan Siyin, a disciple of the Fan Yin Clan and accompanied by elders, appeared where they had just been.

Looking at the many people in front of her, Ruan Siyin narrowed her eyes slightly, her tongue slid across her red lips, and a confident smile appeared on her lips: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The Heavenly Evolution Technique and the Spirit Gathering Array are both mine~".

Her alluring voice trailed off with a long note, and every movement perfectly embodied the word "alluring."

She didn't bring many people with her this time, only one elder at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, because her master had secretly instructed her on this matter.

There are five direct disciples of the Fanyin Sect. If he can obtain these two items, not only will the position of sect leader of the Fanyin Sect be his, but he will also have a place in the Holy Sect.

The proud daughter of the Hengyang Sect isn't even worthy of carrying her shoes.

I don't know how that idiot Luo Wuji could possibly fall for a woman like that...

As soon as they stepped into the Forbidden Forest, everyone felt a chill.

The fog wasn't thick; people could be vaguely seen, but not very far. Even though she had read the original story, Qiyue was still very cautious and took out fire-controlling talismans to distribute to everyone.

"This place is perpetually dark, and the monsters inside are extremely afraid of light and fire. If you sense anything amiss, do not fight; instead, light a fire-controlling talisman."

"Yes!" Jin Shang and his men answered respectfully.

Qiyue nodded, and Le Luoxi, disguised, leaned closer: "Junior Sister, do you want a tinderbox?"

Qiyue shook her head: "Thank you, senior sister, but I don't need it, and you should try not to use it either, as it will attract demonic beasts."

"Okay." Le Luoxi nodded obediently.

Lou Xuanzhi walked over and subtly stepped between the two, saying, "Little guy, what do you know about this forest?"

Qiyue didn't hide anything; besides knowing the general situation, she also told her some more confidential details.

"You should have felt it; the spiritual energy here is very thin. So, try not to use your spiritual power if you can avoid it. Don't even think about using spirit-gathering talismans. The spiritual energy here clashes with our own spiritual energy and cannot be absorbed. That's why I asked you to prepare spirit-restoring pills."

Qi Yue's gaze was sharp as she looked at Jin Shang. The middle-aged man was startled; he had originally planned to use the Spirit Gathering Talisman.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master!"

The other members of the Jin family were also startled, while Lou Xuanzhi and the others seemed to have sensed something.

July continued, "And don't touch the corpses or the items here. The opportunity isn't here."

Before he could finish speaking, a rustling sound came from behind him.

Qiyue threw invisibility talismans at everyone, and everyone's figures disappeared instantly.

It was Kim Yoo-gyeom and Xia Wan-ching who followed.

Xia Wanqing looked at Jin Youqian with a furrowed brow: "Something's wrong with this forest. I have a feeling it's dangerous to stay here any longer. We have to find that bastard as soon as possible."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to the disciples she had brought with her, a smile on her face: "Whoever finds our good senior sister first will be rewarded with a Nascent Soul Pill upon returning to the sect!"

That's a pill that can guarantee someone will break through to the Nascent Soul stage! Everyone's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, as if they'd been injected with adrenaline: "Yes!"

He was completely oblivious to the disdain in Xia Wanqing's eyes.

These good-for-nothings only have this much to strive for. Little do they know that cultivation is up to the individual. What use is a Nascent Soul achieved through elixirs? They'll still be trampled under her feet.

And that good-for-nothing Qiyue, if it weren't for her harming her last time, would she have been scolded by her father? This time, she wasn't even allowed to bring an elder.

Just wait. Once she gets the Heavenly Evolution Technique and the Spirit Gathering Array, everyone will have to submit to her, especially Luo Wuji. He was the one who drugged her and took her virginity, but he doesn't dare to admit it and is full of suspicion towards her. What does he take her, Xia Wanqing, for?

You think you can just give her a mere cultivation resource from the inner sect of the Holy Sect?

Once she has those two things, why would she care about them?

She wanted to be on equal footing with Luo Wuji! Even surpass him, surpass everyone else! To make him regret it!

So what if he's the Holy Son of the Holy Sect? He's just a stepping stone for her, just like these useless trash!

Watching her disciples charge forward, Xia Wanqing wore a confident smile.

The next moment, her smile vanished. A stream of warm blood splattered on her face. Her eyes widened in horror as she saw a familiar sword embedded in the shoulder of Kim Yugyeom, who was walking beside her.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!"

Kim Yugyeom roared in pain, and a familiar, cold voice rang in his ear.

"Kim Yugyeom, your time has come~"
