Council Hall.
Bai Huan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, repeatedly saying, "What should we do? What should we do? It seems that Xiao Yan'er has gone towards the lake where that demonic cultivator is."
"Will she be alright?" she asked anxiously, tears welling in her eyes as she clutched Meteor's sleeve.
The water mirror in the council hall had been extinguished, and in the darkness, one could still vaguely see the girl's nonchalant smile.
Meteor removed Bai Huan's hand from his sleeve and said steadily, "No."
No, it won't.
Bai Huan spat a few times, choking back tears, and said, "No, no, it definitely won't happen. I still have several storybooks I wanted to give her as a gift, sob sob sob!"
meteor:"……"
Let's not tell jokes in this sad atmosphere, okay?
In the secret realm.
Qi Yu was being carried on the back of a female cultivator in white. Feeling a little embarrassed, she held her breath and tried to lighten her weight.
The female cultivator noticed Qi Yu's movements and chuckled, "Little sister, I don't find your little bit of flesh heavy at all. Relax, don't let your wounds reopen."
Qi Yu was slightly dizzy from the sweet fragrance emanating from the female cultivator, and nodded haphazardly, saying, "Thank you, thank you."
The female cultivator smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. My name is Wen Ru. I saw you killing demonic beasts on the water mirror in the council hall. Seeing how many you killed, you'll definitely pass the test. From now on, you'll be my junior sister."
Qi Yu, whose appearance is extremely devilish when killing monsters: "...Ahaha, okay, Senior Sister Wen."
"Everyone has been watching you rampage through the land. I estimate your score is at least in the top ten. It's just a pity that the secret realm became unstable after the demonic cultivators invaded, and the Water Mirror was closed."
Qi Yu: "..."
Okay, stop talking. I know her image is completely beyond repair.
A moment later, she was led to the towering tree at the entrance to the secret realm.
Almost all the cultivators who participated in the secret realm assessment had gathered here.
After putting Qi Yu down, the female cultivator went to reunite with the other Flying Star Sect disciples.
Qi Yu sat under the tree, squinting as she counted everyone.
There are still 458 people.
The cultivators who, despite being "intimidated" by Venerable Canglang, did not hesitate to enter the secret realm to fight were all those who had a strong obsession with entering the Flying Star Sect. If their lives were not in danger, they would never easily blow the call for help.
This means that 58 people will be eliminated.
But based on her points, there's nothing to worry about right now.
Qi Yu counted the people again, but still couldn't find Ren Pingsheng.
Did he use the call bell and go outside?
That's weird...
With the number of demonic beasts in his storage bag, he's more than capable of passing the test.
Or were they captured by demonic cultivators?
A flash of inspiration struck Qi Yu, but before she could grasp it, it was interrupted by Venerable Canglang's deep voice.
"The demonic cultivators have all been dealt with. The Flying Star Sect will handle this matter properly and give you an explanation. It's exactly three days, so take out your storage bags. We'll start calculating your points now."
The Flying Star Sect disciples counted the number of demonic beasts in the storage bags they had handed in and began calculating their points.
Qi Yu frowned and took out the storage bag.
The people around them also dutifully took out their storage bags.
As soon as she opened her storage bag, a bag that looked very similar to hers fell out.
Qi Yu paused, then picked up the storage bag.
The storage bags issued by the Flying Star Sect do not require blood recognition; they can be opened with spiritual power. Therefore, as soon as she injected spiritual power into the storage bag, she saw a bag full of demonic beast corpses.
Qi Yu: "..."
That's weird, really weird.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be Ren Pingsheng's storage bag.
Why did he stuff the storage bag into her's hand before he left?
Suddenly, before handing the storage bag to the Flying Star Sect disciple, someone shouted, "Venerable One, I want to report this! I was robbed in the secret realm! It was that lame female cultivator!!"
Others chimed in, "Yes! Me too!"
"It's her! She even stole my storage bag back then!"
Qi Yu, who was limping, was speechless.
She just looked at their storage bags, how did that turn into a robbery?
Moreover, she only checked the storage bags of five people at most, so how come more than twenty people suddenly appeared?!
Is this reasonable?!
Venerable Canglang frowned, his thick eyebrows furrowing, and walked over menacingly to question Qi Yu.
Are they telling the truth?
Qi Yu opened her mouth, "Your Majesty, no, I'm innocent! I just looked at how many storage bags they had and estimated where my points would rank!"
The group shouted, "Don't think I won't recognize you just because you're wearing a mask! I heard people say that a female cultivator in black shorts specializes in robbing people. You're the only female cultivator in black here. Who else could it be but you!"
Qi Yu looked around and saw that most of the female cultivators were dressed in white, or at least in shades of red, orange, yellow, or green. Even those who wore black had an ethereal, otherworldly air about them, quite different from her simple black shorts.
"But I really didn't steal your storage bags."
Someone with sharp eyes noticed the extra storage bag in her hand and exclaimed, "Don't you already have two?"
Qi Yu sighed, thinking, "She's such a shrew."
“This is my companion Ren Pingsheng’s storage bag, but he has disappeared for some reason. If you don’t believe me, you can check the records on the projection stone.”
Wen Ru walked a few steps to Venerable Canglang's side and explained, "This disciple has been watching this Miss Yu's actions. Although she did take other people's storage bags, she did not commit robbery."
Venerable Canglang glanced at Qi Yu's wronged expression but said nothing.
Another disciple of the Flying Star Sect stepped forward and said thoughtfully, "This disciple did notice someone hiding in the corner of the Water Mirror, their face covered and acting suspiciously. But at that time, this disciple clearly saw Miss Yu walking with that Young Master Ren. There must be some misunderstanding."
"Yes, I've been keeping an eye on Miss Yu, and I haven't seen her do anything out of line."
The men who came out to identify the thieves panicked upon seeing this. "But I was indeed robbed! All the monster corpses in my storage bag were stolen!"
"Me too!"
"But you also said that the person who robbed you was masked. How can you be sure that it was me?" Qi Yu said.
Venerable Canglang's communication jade tablet suddenly lit up. He glanced at the message and his expression changed.
He glanced at Qi Yu out of the corner of his eye without making a sound, then put down the communication jade scroll.
"Alright, I understand. Since there are objections, the Flying Star Sect will handle it properly. The Flying Star Sect will not wrong any innocent person, but..."
"Those who try to take advantage of the chaos will also be exposed by the Flying Star Sect."
"You'd better take care of yourselves."
