In the secret realm.
This secret realm seems to be one I've never seen before.
Meteor held a long sword in his hand, slightly increasing the pressure, and looked around with a deep gaze.
This is a village.
The small houses are connected one after another. Although they are somewhat simple, they have a strong sense of life.
However, it was unusually quiet at this moment.
A faint smell of blood rose to the tip of my nose.
The faint sound of the zither arose from nowhere, mournful and plaintive, like weeping and lamenting.
Meteor turned around and looked at the woman in white standing behind her.
He murmured to himself, seemingly puzzled.
"...A Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivator from the Yunyang Sect, Burning Heart?"
The woman in white kept her eyes lowered, her slender white hands slowly plucking the strings of the zither, the delicate notes seeping into Meteor's mind.
Meteor closed her eyes, as if she had returned to that nightmarish day.
Yes.
That day, the sound of the piano was just like that.
He was somewhat dazed, and his body swayed as if he couldn't stand up straight.
Severed limbs and remains, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
The blood flowed like a babbling brook in the mountains, gushing from the severed wound.
Why.
How could she be a member of the Yunyang Sect?
Why, why were they chosen?
Why!!!
"Whoosh—"
His eyes turned crimson as he drew his sword and slashed at Burning Heart.
The woman in white remained standing in the same spot, mechanically playing the jade zither in her hand, seemingly unaware of the impending danger.
At the critical moment, a figure stood in front of Fenxin.
"stop!"
Venerable Xiuyu appeared with a frown and stopped the sword that was about to sever Burning Heart's head.
"The Flying Star Sect's Meteor Sect wins this match."
After saying that, he raised his hand and knocked the boy, whose eyes were getting increasingly bloodshot, unconscious.
He turned around and looked at the woman in white with a probing gaze.
The woman in white suddenly raised her head, her eyes gleaming, and smiled faintly, saying, "Thank you, Venerable One."
Venerable Xiuyu withdrew his gaze and nodded in silence.
Inside the Martial Arts Hall.
Qi Yu frowned, with Qi Muyu standing beside her.
Qi Muyu said, "Don't worry, I've already had my master go in and bring him out."
Qi Yu stared at the water mirror that had turned black, feeling utterly bewildered.
Unexpectedly, Burning Heart was actually at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he hadn't been matched up for a match in the past few days.
She naturally assumed that Fenxin had not registered for the sect competition at all and was still in the Blood Fiend Sect.
Who would have thought that Burning Heart and Meteor would run into each other.
The sound of the zither playing Burning Heart was strange; Meteor's state just now was completely different from usual.
...there were even faint signs of him falling into demonic possession.
She finally managed to pull him back, so she can't let him go astray again.
Fortunately, Venerable Xiu Yu was Qi Muyu's master, and Qi Muyu had a strange fondness for Meteor. Asking him to go in and get Meteor out wouldn't be difficult.
"He's out, he's out," Qi Muyu said, pointing to the tall man carrying someone on his back.
Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief and took a few steps forward to take Liu Xing from Xiu Yu Zun Zhe's arms.
Her gaze shifted, sliding towards the white-clad woman standing behind Venerable Xiu Yu, her long eyelashes drooping.
Fenxin slightly lifted her eyelids, her empty eyes staring at Qi Yu, like a soulless puppet.
Suddenly, she curled the corners of her lips into a perfectly curved smile at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu stared at her silently for a long while before looking away.
She bounced the meteor on her shoulder and turned around.
The boy had grown quite a bit taller, and although he looked thin, he was actually all lean and muscular.
Fortunately, this weight was nothing to Qi Yu, and she easily carried the person back to the five-person table.
Wen Ru asked with some concern, "Is Liu Xing alright? He was fine just now, how come he fainted now?"
"Maybe, maybe I'm just tired," Qi Yu chuckled dryly.
After all, it can't be said that she asked Venerable Xiuyu to knock the person unconscious and then bring them out.
If a meteor were to fall into demonic possession on the spot, that would be troublesome.
She looked at Venerable Xiu Yu and Qi Muyu, and thanked them with a smile: "Thank you, Venerable One, Fellow Daoist Qi. I will take the person back with me now."
Qi Muyu waved her hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing."
Although she didn't know why Yu Shengyan suddenly brought out Liuxing, she could vaguely tell that Fenxin had used some method to bewitch Liuxing's mind.
Burning Heart lives in a sword-cultivating sect, but instead of practicing swordsmanship, he spends his days carrying a zither and becoming a music cultivator.
She didn't have a master either, and spent all her time hanging out with Chu Mo, so she didn't know how strong he was.
Qi Muyu had some dealings with music practitioners from other sects, but she really couldn't say for sure what kind of music Burning Heart's zither music was.
She gazed thoughtfully at the girl carrying the shooting star from behind.
There's something between these two...
...
Qi Yu greeted the rest of the team and then took Meteor back to their lodgings.
She set up a barrier outside her residence, took out the "Chaotic Spirit Body," and entered the space.
The little gray ball was nestled on the ground, sorting out the storybooks it had read, one by one.
Qi Yu put Liu Xing on the ground and slapped Liu Xing's face twice.
Zhu Xiuzi looked at Qi Yu in surprise and said, "Disciple, what are you going to do to your junior brother?"
"Oh dear, he's sleeping too soundly. I'll tell him to wake up quickly."
As he spoke, he slapped her twice more across the face.
Before the fifth slap touched his cheek, Meteor suddenly woke up.
"Burning Heart!!!"
After letting out a furious roar, he suddenly realized that he was no longer in the secret realm.
Oh, right.
Venerable Xiuyu knocked him unconscious.
