Meanwhile, Little Peony had already progressed to the stage of dancing with handsome men.

If Li Muge hadn't knocked her unconscious so quickly, they probably would have been in the bridal chamber by now.

Li Muge's illusion immediately changed to another environment after she killed the first elder.

The surrounding area was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Wedding night.

The dragon and phoenix candles flickered.

Then Li Muge saw the new… no, no, not the groom, but the rooster that had been with her during the wedding ceremony.

It can actually speak human language.

Then she complained to Li Muge, saying that they had been husband and wife for a day and had a hundred days of kindness, how could he eat it?

Li Muge: "..."

"Cough cough cough, I didn't want to either, but the braised chicken smells so good."

Li Muge loosened his muscles and prepared to slaughter the chicken. Without saying a word, he drew his sword.

Suddenly, a red veil slowly fell from the sky onto her head.

"Cluck cluck cluck." The rooster flapped its wings, as if sensing some threat.

Li Muge clenched her fists under her sleeves, and suddenly the man lifted the veil from her head.

Upon seeing Yun Qi's handsome and refined face, Li Muge couldn't help but nervously swallow.

For some reason, she felt like she was back on her wedding night.

Seeing that this trick worked on the woman, Yun Qi, who was actually a demon in disguise, was about to continue his performance.

Unexpectedly, Li Muge conjured a dagger and plunged it into his heart.

"You...you are such a heartless woman."

Outside the Trial Secret Realm.

Xuan Chen had already received the news and rushed over. When he learned that Li Muge had actually gone to the Golden Core stage trial realm, he was shocked.

His handsome brows were furrowed tightly.

“Two Daoist masters, my disciple is only at the third level of Qi Refining. How could he possibly pass the Golden Core Trial? Please be lenient with him.”

"Let me go and bring out my reckless apprentice."

Xuan Chen originally wanted Li Muge to come to the trial realm to train himself.

Who knew that this little girl would accidentally stumble upon the place where Golden Core cultivators were undergoing trials?

This was practically a life-or-death situation.

Tantai Li, who came with Xuan Chen, looked at Li Muge in the secret realm and wished she would die inside.

It's all because of this bitch; she stole her place in her two senior brothers' hearts as soon as she arrived.

Before Li Muge came to the Xuan Guang Sect.

Her two senior brothers treated her very well and always went along with her wishes.

But now that Li Muge has arrived, the sect leader and senior brother Xuan Ce are showering this despicable Li Muge with concern.

Gong Yujia, in her search for Li Muge, also accidentally entered the Heart Refining Secret Realm, a Golden Core stage cultivation area.

However, since her cultivation level was already at the second stage of the Golden Core realm, she possessed a greater vitality.

“Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, you don’t need to worry. We’re here, and if anything happens in the secret realm, we will shut down the trial immediately.”

The savior Taoist priest smiled kindly, as if everything was under his control.

“Your disciple, and other cultivators who came out.”

“But…” Xuan Chen was still a little worried.

Tantai Ling deliberately moved closer to Xuan Chen: "Senior brother, don't worry. With these Taoist priests here, Li Muge will be fine."

Just then.

The levitation mirror used to spy on the trial realm suddenly stopped working.

"No, I must go and see." Xuan Chen knew that Li Muge was the Regent's Consort.

However, Li Muge was not angered by the Regent's unpredictable moods and cruelty.

He could see Li Muge's character; apart from sometimes lacking decisiveness in his dealings with others, his character was still extremely upright.

Marrying the Regent Yunqi was probably out of necessity.

Xuan Chen lowered his eyes. At that moment, he was thinking that if he could teach Li Muge immortal techniques, she would have the ability to fight against the injustice of fate.

Perhaps this is another way to save her.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

But as soon as he saw the situation spiraling out of control, Xuan Chen could no longer suppress his worry and wanted to rush in.

Li Wanqing was thinking about how to stop Li Muge's master from rescuing Li Muge, but her gaze fell on Xuan Chen's handsome features.

Even in a large sect like Ziyang Palace, Li Wanqing had never seen a man as handsome as Xuan Chen.

Jealousy welled up in his heart. That woman was really lucky to have found such a handsome master.

For some reason, the moment Li Wanqing saw Xuan Chen, she felt that this man should have belonged to her.

Why would Tantai Ling possibly let her senior brother, the sect leader, rescue Li Muge? She would rather Li Muhe die in the trial realm.

Even if I survive, I'll still be an eyesore to her.

Using her sleeve as cover, Tantai Ling used her spiritual power to knock Xuan Chen unconscious.

Xuan Chen closed his eyes and was about to fall to the ground when Tantai Ling quickly supported him and smiled apologetically at everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone, my sect leader was too impulsive, and I had no choice but to resort to this."

"Trials naturally have their own rules, and even though there are disciples of our Xuan Guang Sect among them, we cannot show favoritism."

The other cultivators nodded in agreement upon hearing Tantai Ling's words, praising her for being selfless and impartial.

He is a model for cultivators.

___

Inside the secret realm, the Nightmare Demon was puzzled because no matter how he changed his appearance, Li Muge could see through it.

Over the centuries, countless cultivators have seen their values ​​and principles gradually crumble when faced with what they most desire in their hearts.

How could this inexperienced little girl possibly crack the code?

Unless this little girl has no heart.

A person only has one heart.

If you give someone else a heart that is missing, you will receive a new heart after several reincarnations.

However, since it is a substitute, it cannot be compared to the original. The side effect is that one will gradually become apathetic and without desire, or even worse, develop in the opposite direction.

For mortals who have lost their hearts, reincarnation is like a blank sheet of paper.

Without desire, there is no emotion.

Such a person will either become a great being who brings blessings to all living beings, or a wicked demon who brings calamity to the three realms.

The Nightmare Demon has no physical form; it intends to possess Li Muge to get a better understanding of the girl's heart.

Li Muge carried Xiao Shaoyao on her back, wanting to find a chance to leave this place.

She regretted it a little; if she had known the little flower fairy was so heavy, she wouldn't have knocked her unconscious.

Sudden.

Li Muge stopped in his tracks.

Before her eyes, a cloud of black mist rushed straight towards her. Li Muge instinctively protected Xiao Shaoyao on her back and suddenly flew several miles away.

He cleaved the black mist with a single sword stroke, but it still caught him off guard, as a wisp of black energy silently entered his pupil.

In an instant.

Li Muge felt a sharp pain in her pupils.

Everything was pitch black.

She lost her balance and fell to the ground, the little peony on her back also falling to the ground. She opened her eyes groggily.

"Mu Ge, what's wrong?" Xiao Shao tried to crawl to Mu Ge's side, but what terrified her was...

Dark circles swirled around Li Muge's eyes.

Little Peony was so frightened that tears immediately streamed down her face.

"Mu Ge, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. Aren't you supposed to be a great fighter? Get up and take me out of here."

Little Peony is fully awake now.

She then noticed that the palace that had trapped them was a building similar to that of ancient Egypt, even though the exit was right in front of them.

But once you go out...

It will be another palace, like walking into a looping maze.
