Within the secret realm, all the cultivators who remained and had not yet withdrawn all heard the deep, somber voice of Venerable Canglang through the call bells on their bodies.
"Demonic cultivators have invaded the secret realm. They are currently at the lake in the very center of the secret realm. Get away from there quickly. The Flying Star Sect will come to pick you up later."
The moment the words "demonic cultivator" were uttered, everyone was filled with terror.
What's going on? They just wanted to join the Flying Star Sect, so why are there ruthless robbers stealing their points first, and then demonic cultivators with unknown motives invading them?
Is there any hope for this?!
On the other side of the lake, An Rong'er and her two companions heard the cries for help from the call bell and looked at the group of demonic cultivators on the water. They dared not utter a sound.
Sweat beaded on Zhao Si's forehead. His legs felt weak, and he whispered, "They're busy fighting the dragon right now and won't notice us. Let's run!"
Qin Zhao was so frightened that his hands trembled.
An Rong'er's pretty face also turned a little pale. The figure she had just seen flashed before her eyes, the one that made her grit her teeth in hatred.
She couldn't swallow this insult. Yu Shengyan's mockery of her had left her utterly humiliated, and her lips were now bleeding whenever she spoke.
An Rong'er grew increasingly resentful as she thought about it. Looking at the terrifying gray dragon and then at the demonic cultivators who were relentlessly attacking it, she suddenly had a plan.
She sat motionless, coldly saying to Zhao Si and Qin Zhao, "That damned bitch Yu Shengyan is here too. She humiliated me like that, so I have to get my revenge first. If you're scared, you can leave."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Si crouched down and crawled away quickly using both hands and feet. Once out of the demonic cultivators' sight, he immediately got up and fled.
An Rong'er sneered and looked at Qin Zhao, who had a conflicted expression.
"He's gone, are you leaving or not?"
Qin Zhao hesitated.
An Rong'er clearly intended to cause trouble for the girl named Yu Shengyan, but Yu Shengyan had saved her life, and she felt uneasy if she just sat by and did nothing.
However, this place is too dangerous, and a slight misstep could lead to another dangerous situation.
An Rong'er sneered, "Heh, you know you don't like me, so your hesitation is definitely not for my sake, but rather you're thinking about how to help that bitch?"
Qin Zhao lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and like Zhao Si, crawled away quickly without looking back.
An Rong'er watched her fleeing figure and suddenly felt a surge of joy.
Why pretend to be kind? When it really comes down to life and death, they'll be the first to run away.
She curled her lip in disdain, holding a soft sword in her hand, and approached Qi Yu step by step.
...
Qi Yu grabbed Xiao Hei's paw and pointed at the gray dragon, saying, "Xiao Hei, do you know what that is?"
Xiao Hei grunted and said uncertainly, "It looks like a dragon, a snake, and a fish. How come this thing looks like this, Master? This doesn't match the dragon in Xiao Hei's memory."
"Oh, it seems to be a genetic mutation. No wonder it can breathe fire while swimming in the water. I wonder what it hybridized with."
Ren Pingsheng: "..."
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately closed it, unable to speak.
The battle on the water had reached a fever pitch. The gray dragon had many deep and long wounds on its body, and its dark red blood almost dyed the entire lake red.
Zhu Ji's expression gradually relaxed. With a determined look, she raised the silver hairpin in her hand and intensified her attack.
"We'll be able to retrieve the Feather of God soon, everyone! Let's give it our all!"
The demonic cultivators were filled with fanaticism, and they recklessly hurled their spiritual energy attacks at the gray dragon.
Qi Yu vaguely heard words like "god" and "take back," and sighed inwardly.
These believers who have taken to evil gods are really like those who have joined a pyramid scheme.
No, even pyramid schemes don't reach this level of fanaticism where people are willing to risk their lives; that's practically a cult.
That Demon God Qiyan is definitely not a good person!
Having seen enough of the excitement, and seeing that the demonic cultivators were close to succeeding, it was time for them to make their escape.
Qi Yu stuffed Xiao Hei into the space and turned around to try to pull Ren Pingsheng away, but there was no one behind her.
"?"
It was just here a moment ago.
Ren Pingsheng doesn't seem like the type of person who would easily abandon his companions and run away...
Perhaps she misjudged him.
Qi Yu stood up in thought, but suddenly something wrapped around her waist.
She looked down in surprise and saw that it was a soft sword.
The other end of the soft sword was held in the hand of a girl in purple. She smiled sinisterly at Qi Yu and suddenly swung the soft sword.
Qi Yu was thrown towards the lake surface where the fierce battle was raging.
She reacted quickly by taking out a wind-controlling talisman from her storage ring and stepping on it.
The lake water, mixed with the stench of blood, splashed onto her. Several demonic cultivators noticed her and, thinking she had come to stop their grand plan, attacked with raging spiritual energy, carrying malice.
"Let you be arrogant! Die!" An Rong'er laughed wildly a few times, then turned to run away.
After running only a few steps, he was unable to move at all.
A feeling of suffocation came from my waist.
She looked down in disbelief at the chain that was also tightly bound around her waist, then suddenly turned around.
"you!"
What's wrong with me?
Qi Yu smiled and swung the icy chains in his hand, throwing An Rong'er into the lake to block the attacks of the demonic cultivators.
An Rong'er slid in a perfect parabola, but was struck by the demonic cultivator's attack in mid-air. She spat out a mouthful of blood and then crashed into the water with a "bang," falling silent.
"I shouldn't drown..." Qi Yu murmured.
If she drowns, it would be annoying if the system blamed her for it.
An arrow imbued with spiritual power grazed her shoulder, and Qi Yuxin tensed up, turning her gaze to the several demonic cultivators who had pursued her.
Holding various weapons, they glared fiercely at Qi Yu, looking as if they were determined to eliminate all factors that might hinder their "great cause."
Qi Yu blinked and raised her hands. "Haha, I'm just passing by. I won't keep you any longer. I'll be going right away."
The demonic cultivators looked indifferent.
Another arrow came flying, and Qi Yu frowned as she dodged it. "I already told you I was just passing by!"
She moved with incredible speed, using the Wind Control Talisman to try and leave the lake, but just as she was about to fly out of the lake's range, she touched an invisible barrier.
What happened?!
When An Rong'er flung me over the lake, it was incredibly smooth, so why can't I get out now?
Could it be that those demonic cultivators hastily set up a barrier after discovering that someone had broken in?
She turned around, and the demonic cultivators laughed wickedly when they saw that she wasn't running away.
The demonic cultivator holding a bow and arrow nocked an arrow, and the arrow shot out like a meteor.
"Running? Why did you stop running?"
...
The space within the hairpin.
The silver-haired man, naked, lay in the hot spring with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
Suddenly, he stood up, slowly opened his eyes, and his crimson eyes were filled with emotions that were hard to understand.
"So this is where it was..."
