The trial in the secret realm is drawing to a close.

Su Nianyin was so anxious she was pacing back and forth.

She couldn't find that Fu Xiu no matter what she tried!

She had followed her memories from her previous life and waited for him at the place where he had subdued the monster, but after waiting for so long, she hadn't seen a single person.

Did someone else snatch it away?

But something's not right...

She checked his breathing almost every time she went along.

Unless that talisman cultivator entered the cave and the illusion...

Her eyes darted around, and she began to examine each of the nearby caves one by one.

really.

In a cave, she found Fu Xiu—Sikong Bing—tied to a tree stump.

He was shirtless.

There were also several shallow red whip marks on his arms and waist.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Luo Yunyi, who was resting not far away.

The emotions in his eyes are unclear.

Su Nianyin was overjoyed!

Heaven has eyes! She happened to run into Sikong Bing when he needed help. If she had saved him then, he would have been eternally grateful and helped her enter the Talisman Sect!

She activated the Su family's secret technique, concealing her presence, and quietly approached Luo Yunyi.

Take advantage of her unpreparedness.

Suddenly, he unleashed a spell, stunning her.

Sikong Bing sensed something was wrong and saw Su Nianyin appear before him. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Luo Yunyi, who was lying there.

He roared, "What did you do to her?"

Su Nianyin stepped forward and helped him untie the ropes. "Don't worry, I knocked her out. No one will hurt you now."

Sikong Bing broke free of the ropes.

Hearing that he had only been knocked unconscious, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Nianyin looked at his bare arms with some shyness.

Are your injuries serious?

Sikong Bing flipped his hand, and immediately a brand new robe was draped over his body.

"Thank you for saving me."

His tone was polite yet distant: "Once we leave the secret realm, the Sikong family will send us a gift of thanks."

Su Nianyin's smile froze.

Have we left the secret realm?

She's in the secret realm, about to receive her reward!

"The Sikong family?" she feigned surprise, "Are you Sikong Bing, the young master of the Sikong family?"

"I heard that the talismans you draw are the strongest in the sect. I never expected to meet you here today."

"My name is Su Nianyin, and I am the eldest daughter of the Su family."

After she finished speaking, she saw that Sikong Bing had no interest in her at all, but instead blushed and stared at the unconscious Luo Yunyi.

His face instantly turned ugly.

"Where are your talismans and the Illusionary Spirit Pearl?" She gritted her teeth, forcing a smile. "Could it be that this female cultivator from the Joyful Union Sect stole them?"

"I'll get it back for you!"

Sikong Bing stepped in front of her, "No need."

"Our Sikong family keeps its word; once we promise something, we will never take it back."

Su Nianyin's eyes widened.

If she doesn't take them back, where will she get extra Illusionary Spirit Orbs?

She glanced at Luo Yunyi, her eyes filled with hatred.

People from the Hehuan Sect are always trying to steal her opportunities!

The female cultivator who followed Cangliuyu was like that, and so is the one who is now entangled with Sikong Bing!

Why are they all trying to take her away?

Her eyes flashed with murderous intent, and her face was full of disgust. "Everyone hates the people of the Hehuan Sect. How dare she do such an improper thing to you during the secret realm trial? In the future, I'm afraid she will use her bewitching arts to trick you into cultivating with her."

"If you don't deal with her now, sooner or later she will drain your cultivation."

"In my opinion, we should take advantage of the fact that she's in the cave and no one is watching her, and kill her!"

"In this way, we are also eliminating a scourge for our sect."

Sikong Bing was startled by her murderous intent and resolutely refused.

“You can’t kill people in the secret realm.” He turned to look at Luo Yunyi, a faint blush crossing his face.

"Besides, she said that unless I consent, she will not engage in dual cultivation with me."

"You believe what the people of the Hehuan Sect say?!" Su Nianyin's expression twisted.

Sikong Bing frowned.

“This is between her and me, it’s none of your business.”

He made a hand seal and drew a talisman in the air, which he then affixed to Luo Yunyi's body.

In an instant, a huge protective shield enveloped her.

"The secret realm is about to close, Miss Su. You should focus on finding the Illusionary Spirit Orb."

"Mind your own business."

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Su Nianyin looked at Luo Yunyi, who was being protected, and almost bit her teeth to pieces.

Undeterred, she cast a spell and slashed fiercely!

The protective shield emitted a burst of golden light.

The magic rebounded and struck her instead.

Su Nianyin took two steps back, spat out a mouthful of blood, looked up, and glared at Luo Yunyi with resentment and anger.

Those who belong to the Hehuan Sect must all possess shady and manipulative techniques.

Otherwise, why would all these men be so protective of them?!

She looked at her arms, which were tightly covered by her sleeves.

Thinking of the birthmark above, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

On what grounds?

Despite coming from such a disreputable sect and cultivating in such a shameless way, they were not condemned to the demonic path.

And he himself, just because he has a birthmark, is to be regarded as a demon and a monster by the whole world!

How could she possibly swallow this insult?!

A flash of resentment crossed Su Nianyin's eyes.

Sikong Bing told her to leave, but she insisted on waiting here!

Once Luo Yunyi wakes up and the protective shield fails, she will definitely kill her and get the last two Illusionary Spirit Pearls!

*

The trial is over.

Cang Liuyu carried Shen Zhiyi out of the secret realm.

The others also came out one after another.

The Sword Sect elder immediately stepped forward, exclaiming with delight, "Liu Yu! You've broken through another realm! Excellent! Excellent!"
