As she spoke, she took out a talisman for transmitting messages with trembling hands. Xue Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Senior Sister, you are in charge of transmitting messages. I will keep watch. If Senior Brother and the others are defeated, it will be troublesome if that beast comes back."
As she spoke, she stood in front of Xia Wanqing, drew her sword, and cautiously observed the surroundings to protect Xia Wanqing.
But she didn't notice the cold glint in Xia Wanqing's eyes.
The original communication talisman disappeared, turning into an ordinary talisman. Xia Wanqing cried out in alarm.
“Junior Sister Xue, I have already sent a message to Father. I believe the elders will arrive soon. However, since they are here, how can they leave empty-handed? My cultivation is higher than yours. The best course of action now is for me to protect you while you go and pick the Fallen Flower. This way, even if that beast returns, I can delay him for a while.”
"Hmm!" Xue Ling'er had no doubt about Xia Wanqing's words. She walked with Xia Wanqing to the deep pool. Looking at the Fallen Flower on the other side of the pool, the two exchanged a glance, and then Xue Ling'er turned and leaped up.
Behind her, a cold glint flashed in Xia Wanqing's eyes. In the blink of an eye, she struck Xue Ling'er in the back with a palm strike filled with murderous intent.
"Pfft! Ah!"
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xue Ling'er let out a painful and short scream. Feeling the excruciating pain in her internal organs, her spiritual energy became unstable, and she uncontrollably fell into the deep pool.
The abyss, so close yet radiating an aura of destruction, watched as the hem of her skirt, nearing the depths, was burned to ashes. Feeling the bone-chilling cold and heat, just as she was about to fall into the abyss, a resolute glint flashed in Xue Ling'er's eyes, and she instantly burned her cultivation.
Despite her pain, she leaped to the other side of the deep pool and looked at Xia Wanqing, who had no expression on her face. She finally realized that she had been deceived, and her eyes were filled with resentment.
She never expected that her trusted senior sister would want to kill her.
There's no going back to Hengyang Sect.
She can't die here; she must let everyone know the true face of this so-called favored daughter of heaven!
But how could she escape?
Xue Ling'er was filled with despair. Xia Wanqing looked at her expressionlessly: "Junior Sister Xue, you can't escape. You can only blame yourself for being too stupid. A mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator with an ordinary earth spiritual root actually dared to think that he could easily obtain sect resources by taking advantage of the chaos. A piece of trash is a piece of trash. Can't you recognize your situation and go with the flow?"
"Hehehe~" Xue Ling'er laughed in anger, looking at Xia Wanqing who was completely different from before, her eyes full of mockery.
“Everyone is right, you’re all show and no substance. I know you’re scared. You’re scared that we ordinary cultivators, whom you usually look down on, will trample you underfoot like the former Senior Sister Yue did! You’re so pathetic…”
As she spoke, her laughter grew louder and louder: "Hahaha... Do you know what everyone is saying about you?"
"Shut up!" Xia Wanqing looked at her as if she were dead, her beautiful eyes filled with malice.
"No matter how much you provoke me, you can't change your fate! I'll kill that bitch sooner or later! You like her so much, then go to hell and wait for her. Don't worry, she'll be here soon, and neither of you will be alone."
Her eyes were filled with madness.
What she didn't notice was that the invisible Song Yanzhuo had already arrived behind Xue Ling'er. Xue Ling'er, whose thoughts had been exposed, gritted her teeth and looked at her. Her burning cultivation was about to reach its limit. If she couldn't find Xia Wanqing's weakness, she would really die here.
No! No way... Hmm?
Suddenly, Xue Ling'er, who was in a panic, froze. She felt someone put something in her hand, and her whole body stiffened.
Fear arises from the soles of one's feet.
Just then, a deep and pleasant male voice entered her mind.
These are Swiftness and Invisibility talismans; run for your life!
Xue Ling'er was overjoyed and looked at her hand. Sure enough, there were several talismans. Feeling the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations on the talismans, her eyes widened.
Seeing that something was wrong with Xue Ling'er, Xia Wanqing's heart tightened. Without giving Xue Ling'er a chance to speak, he thrust his sword at her with intense killing intent.
But it was blocked by an invisible barrier.
Xue Ling'er looked into the void: "Thank you, senior!"
Then, without hesitation, she affixed invisibility and speed talismans and disappeared. Xia Wanqing watched Xue Ling'er vanish and the invisible barrier with a sense of impending doom.
The sudden turn of events disrupted Xia Wanqing's original plan. She sheathed her sword and, without further hesitation, sped out of the cave.
Watching Xia Wanqing flee, Song Yanzhuo returned to Qiyue's side.
"Are you just going to let her go like that?"
"..." Qiyue looked at him without answering, and instead looked at the Fallen Flower.
"Is there any way to bring this flower back alive?" This was Qiyue's biggest worry.
I can only feel at ease keeping something this important under my own nose.
[However, the original work doesn't describe how to cultivate immature Fallen Flowers. It's unclear whether the lack of description in the original work means they don't exist in this world. If so, it means this is an incomplete world.]
This makes it impossible to do many things.
Listening to Qiyue's heartfelt words and seeing the worry etched in her eyes, Song Yanzhuo smiled gently and patted her head: "Master's origins are mysterious, even we don't know them. Master must have a way. I have already sent a message to Master."
July's eyes lit up.
[It seems that although this is the world of the book, apart from major events, it is not the same as the original work. This is probably because the original work had loopholes and could not maintain the original world, so it was modified.]
Outside the cave, everything was in a mess. Neither the snake nor Ye Qingyu had been seen. Xia Wanqing, who had escaped, narrowed her eyes. Thinking of the mysterious person who had helped Xue Ling'er escape from inside the cave, she gritted her teeth and hid.
