Chapter 184 Ye Li delves into the secrets of the Heavenly Gate Sect's hidden realm

After Ye Li and the others left, Su Ying'er immediately wanted to go to the secret passage to destroy that damn magic artifact.

Turning around, she noticed Wen Yao's unusual behavior and had a bad feeling. She stepped forward and gently asked, "Third Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

She looked at her with concern, "Look at you, you've become so thin, Ying'er is really worried about you."

As she spoke, she tried to touch Wen Yao's face, but Wen Yao immediately took a few steps back, his brows furrowed with indifference.

"I'm fine, I'll be going now."

Su Ying'er's hand missed its target. Through her teary eyes, she looked at Mo Hannian and asked, "Brother, is Third Senior Brother still blaming me?"

Mo Hannian looked at Wen Yao's retreating figure with a grim expression. "Ignore him. He's been like this ever since his serious illness. I'll go find him."

-

It was midday, and Wen Yao was walking under the shade of a tree. The dappled sunlight fell on his face, making him appear to be in and out of the light.

Suddenly, someone called his name from behind.

"Third Senior Brother."

Wen Yao stopped, but did not speak.

Mo Hannian felt annoyed when he saw Wen Yao's inhuman and ghostly appearance.

"How much time has passed, and you're still wasting your days because of your senior sister's situation. Do you intend to live like this from now on, so lifeless that you can't even care about cultivation?"

Wen Yao slowly turned his bloodshot eyes. "So, you've already forgotten Ah Li's death, and even more so, you've forgotten who caused her to lose even the chance to live?"

"I-"

Regret and pain flashed in Mo Hannian's eyes, but he immediately suppressed those emotions and gritted his teeth, saying, "Yes, I'm sorry to her, but what can I do now that things have come to this?"

“If you really had forgotten, you wouldn’t have gone to Ye Li’s nameless cottage to kneel for an hour every day.”

"you!"

After being exposed, Mo Hannian turned around fiercely, "Whether I kneel or kowtow is my business. But I have not wronged you, especially Ying'er. You know how hard her life is right now, why are you so indifferent to her?"

Wen Yao didn't answer, but instead asked, "What if all of this was Su Ying'er's plan?"

The air was still for a few seconds.

Mo Hannian's expression slowly darkened, his eyes becoming gloomy. "Third Senior Brother, I know you can't get over Senior Sister's death, and neither can I, but aren't you going too far by labeling everyone as the murderer?"

Wen Yao had already guessed his reaction, and simply replied, "I've already met the fourth brother."

Mo Hannian was stunned, "You dare to go..."

He lowered his voice, "You dare trespass into the Discipline Hall!"

Disciples who have received the precepts are not allowed to go out, and disciples who are away from home are not allowed to visit them.

Firstly, there are many people in prison who have committed serious crimes, and we need to prevent them from escaping. We also fear that some acquaintances or friends might go astray out of sympathy.

This is an ironclad rule of the sect.

Wen Yao secretly went to see Bai Xiaosheng; if word got out, he would definitely be punished.

Moreover, given Master Qingyu's strictness, it's not impossible that he might be expelled from the Lotus Sect.

He actually took such a big risk to see Bai Xiaosheng?

Mo Hannian gritted his teeth, "Are you crazy! Aren't you afraid of being found out!"

Wen Yao said calmly, "What do I have left to lose? Besides, only Xiaosheng can answer the questions in my heart."

Mo Hannian sensed something and tentatively asked, "What question?"

"I want to know whether it was A-Li or Su Ying'er who seriously injured him that day."

"Third Senior Brother!"

Mo Hannian shouted, "There's a limit to your madness. Ying'er was just a mortal back then, while the fourth brother is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How could she possibly seriously injure him!"

Wen Yao's gaze deepened as he spoke each word slowly and deliberately, "Have you forgotten the introductory magic artifact that Master gave to Su Ying'er, the Silver Lotus Bell?"

Silver Lotus Bell...

That silver lotus bell that can unleash an attack from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

If Su Ying'er used the Silver Lotus Bell, even if she were a mortal, she could severely injure Bai Xiaosheng!

Mo Hannian's eyes flashed with astonishment as he shook his head repeatedly. "No, this is impossible. How could Ying'er do such a thing? Although she was jealous of Senior Sister, it was only to attract our attention. That day at Moon White Lake, she risked her life to save us. She would give her life for us. How could she do something like this!"

He pointed at himself, "And if it weren't for Ying'er helping me find the antidote, I would still be a cripple. She gave everything for us, how can you slander her like this!"

Seeing Mo Hannian's stubbornness, Wen Yao didn't say anything more, leaving only one sentence.

"I will show you the truth."

Mo Hannian was the only one left on the winding path.

As he quieted down, Wen Yao's words kept echoing in his ears, and a part of his heart inexplicably began to loosen.

Will Su Ying'er really make a move against Bai Xiaosheng?

-

On the other side, Su Ying'er begged and knelt down, finally managing to calm Sha Luo Ru down a bit.

She left with the speed of the wind, heading straight for the magical artifact Ye Li had mentioned.

They ran right into Lu Ziting.

Upon seeing her come out, Lu Ziting immediately frowned. "Today's events were caused by you again, Su Ying'er. Why are you so meddlesome?"

Su Ying'er had been frightened several times today, and then Lu Ziting reprimanded her like this, making her feel incredibly wronged. "Senior Brother, what happened today has nothing to do with Ying'er. Ying'er was also very scared..."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, but Lu Ziting not only didn't feel sorry for her as before, but instead looked disgusted.

"What can you do besides cry? I've already given you a spirit beast, why aren't you focusing on cultivating? You don't have a single bit of spiritual energy in you, and this is what you call wanting to cultivate properly?"

Speaking of this, Su Ying'er felt even more aggrieved. It wasn't that she hadn't cultivated; it was that no matter how she cultivated, her spiritual power would always turn into something like a chakra.

Unfortunately, she couldn't bring herself to say it, so she could only suffer in silence, saying, "I will cultivate diligently..."

Lu Ziting said with disdain, "Look at Junior Sister Jiang Li, she was still in the Qi Refining stage last time, and now she's already in the mid-Qi Refining stage."

Upon hearing Jiang Li's name, Su Ying'er's pitiful face instantly contorted.

Ye Li! It's Ye Li again!

This bitch, just how far will she go to harm her!

She even deliberately reminded Elder Song to use his magic weapon to find those two disciples—wasn't that just targeting her?

Oh, right... magical artifacts!

She needs to get rid of that damn magical artifact as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Su Ying'er lost interest in playing games with Lu Ziting any longer. She gave him a few perfunctory words and quickly ran towards her Wan Ying Pavilion.

Lu Ziting felt even more disgusted with Su Ying'er when he saw that she wouldn't even listen to his teachings, and even began to doubt why he had liked Su Ying'er in the first place.

-

Evening Cherry Blossom Pavilion.

Su Ying'er hurried back, her forehead damp with a thin layer of sweat, but she didn't even bother to wipe it off. She locked the door and headed straight for the screen.

She pulled back the screen and took out the key to activate the Dark Realm.

Unbeknownst to her, a pair of eyes were silently watching her.

The next second, the wall began to twist and rotate, revealing a pitch-black entrance.

As Ye Li, in her soul form, gazed at the deep entrance, her brows relaxed.

Her efforts to fabricate magical artifacts were not in vain, as Su Ying'er took the initiative to open the Dark Realm.

Today she will see what secrets are hidden here.
