"You can say whatever you want about me! But you can't say I'm no good!!!" Zhuo Ziyu roared, charging forward like an enraged wolf cub.
"Whether you're capable or not isn't something you can just say, little junior brother." Le Luoxi smiled, lightly kicking Zhuo Ziyu's chin with her toe, her beautiful eyes unfathomable.
Sunset Forest.
Xia Wanqing did not see Lou Xuanzhi, but only sensed a familiar aura disappearing above Sunset Forest.
Having already suffered several losses, she dared not linger at the cave entrance and turned to follow the scent of Ye Qingyu and the others.
"Master, is there any way?" Seeing Lou Xuanzhi suddenly appear, Song Yanzhuo and Qiyue obediently walked over.
Lou Xuanzhi's handsome face remained expressionless, but the corners of his lips curled up: "If there's no other way, what's the point of your master coming here?"
Qi Yue's lips twitched: "Since Master has a solution, that's good. I still have things to resolve, so I won't bother Master any longer."
With that, Qiyue headed towards the cave entrance.
Song Yanzhuo curled his lip. The old guy was still as sarcastic as ever, and his words were so sarcastic they could make people choke.
Then, without saying a word, they followed Qiyue toward the cave entrance. Once there, they put on invisibility talismans and followed the aura of Xia Wanqing and her group, eventually finding them in an open area.
Looking at Ye Qingyu and her group fighting desperately, and then at Xia Wanqing hiding in the side, Qi Yue and Song Yanzhuo both had a cold smile in their eyes.
It really is a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; however, who the oriole is remains to be seen.
"Senior Brother Ye! I can't take it anymore! I can't hold on any longer!"
"Yes! Senior Brother Ye! If we don't leave now, we're all going to die here!"
Ye Qingyu refused without even thinking.
"No! We can't leave! Junior Sister and Junior Sister Xue haven't gotten the Life-Saving Flower yet. If we leave, they're doomed when that beast gets back!"
"But……"
"No buts!" Ye Qingyu, already injured, interrupted the man's unspoken words, reassuring everyone, "Don't worry! We won't die. This beast won't last much longer. If it really comes to it, I'll hold him off while you go find Junior Sister and Junior Sister Xue to return to the sect, and then we'll all go together!"
...
Everyone who had been desperately resisting fell silent for a moment, then gritted their teeth and agreed: "Since Senior Brother has said so, then let's hold on a little longer!"
"That's right! We can't let our fallen junior brothers and sisters die in vain!"
The group fought desperately against the black snake, and it looked like they were about to give up. Xia Wanqing didn't wait any longer. She plunged her sword into her left shoulder, a trickle of bright red blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and rushed out in pain.
Then, burning her cultivation, she pierced the black snake's head with a single sword strike. The black snake collapsed to the ground with a thud, and she too fell to the ground like a rag doll.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard until Xia Wanqing weakly called out, "Senior brother..."
Everyone then realized what had happened. Overjoyed, they rushed towards Xia Wanqing. Ye Qingyu, disregarding her own injuries, leaped to Xia Wanqing's side and embraced her. Looking at the bleeding wound on Xia Wanqing's left shoulder, her eyes were bloodshot: "Junior sister, what happened?"
Xia Wanqing burst into tears in anguish: "Junior Sister Xue, I don't know who instructed her, wanted to steal the Fallen Flower. I tried my best to snatch it, but who knew that she had a powerful master behind her. I was no match for her, and that's why..."
Xia Wanqing didn't say anything more after that; she just lowered her head and silently shed tears.
Ye Qingyu roared in fury: "Traitor!!"
The others looked even more grim: "We never expected Junior Sister Xue to be this kind of person!"
"You heartless bastard! You actually took advantage of our battle with the monsters to commit such a heinous act!"
"I knew she was no good! A mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator actually came out with us!"
“I think Junior Sister Xue must have her reasons.” Xia Wanqing couldn’t bear to speak, and gently spoke up for Xue Ling’er: “Junior Sister Xue is such a simple person, perhaps she has been deceived. Let’s not say anything more. The most important thing now is the Fallen Flower, we can’t let outsiders take it away.”
"Senior brother~" Xia Wanqing grabbed Ye Qingyu's clothes with her small hand, her pale face full of worry and trust: "You are the one with the highest cultivation among us. I have been injured. The only thing we can do now is for you to go and check on the Fallen Flower."
“But…” Ye Qingyu’s face turned pale.
"No buts, go ahead, senior brother," Xia Wanqing gently persuaded Ye Qingyu.
Ye Qingyu didn't say anything, but looked at Xia Wanqing with concern. In his heart, nothing was more important than his junior sister.
Seeing Ye Qingyu hesitate, a seriously injured female cultivator next to him spoke up: "Senior Brother Ye, if you are worried, I will stay here to take care of Senior Sister Xia. Don't worry, I will risk my life to ensure Senior Sister Xia's safety."
"Yes, Senior Brother Ye, we should prioritize the overall situation. We should hurry back so we can bring Senior Sister Xia back to the sect to heal her injuries," a disciple said.
Then, more and more people arrived. Seeing this, Ye Qingyu stopped insisting. She glanced at the remaining seven people, left her junior sister who was speaking, and went to the cave with the other six.
Once Ye Qingyu and the others had completely disappeared, Xia Wanqing looked at the female disciple with a smile in her eyes.
The female disciple felt a little uncomfortable under Xia Wanqing's gaze and asked timidly, "What's wrong, Senior Sister?"
"It's nothing, come here." Xia Wanqing beckoned to the female disciple, who hesitated for a moment but then walked over and sat down next to Xia Wanqing.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt something strike her and fainted.
Xia Wanqing was completely bewildered and hadn't even reacted when Qiyue, who had an invisibility talisman on her, punched her in the eye, causing her to fall to the ground. The sudden turn of events sent chills down Xia Wanqing's spine.
