Li Ze swore he had never smelled anything so foul in his life, like decades of accumulated excrement in the mortal realm!
The stench, accompanied by the heat of the explosion, made Li Ze hold his breath in terror. It was too late to regain control of his body and grab the edge of the hole.
With a thud, Li Ze landed at the bottom of the pit, and he clearly felt that he had sat on something.
It's round and very hard.
Looking to the side, Xia Wanqing, covered in soot and with hair like a hedgehog, was huddled in a corner. The foul stench emanated from her. The other person's expression as they looked at him was one of embarrassment, resentment, awkwardness, and fear.
Is she having diarrhea?
The moment this thought crossed Li Ze's mind, as he hesitated about whether to comfort his beloved, he was blasted away. Lying on the ground, as he exhaled a puff of black smoke, he swore an oath.
He wants to tear the person who dug the pit and set up this formation to pieces.
Hmm...something's not right!
Suddenly, his face contorted and he clenched his buttocks. He felt a ball of air inside his stomach frantically pounding against the door, trying to burst out regardless of his wishes or whether he could bear it.
He used almost all his strength to try and lock the door.
But fate had other plans. Not only was the door not locked, but Mu Lingxiao, who fell from the sky, also broke his leg.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
"Pop pop pop pop—"
Heart-wrenching screams, accompanied by strange noises, echoed throughout the cave. Li Ze stared intently at Mu Lingxiao, then kicked him to the ground with his other, undamaged leg.
"Mu Lingxiao! I'll fucking kill you!!!"
"Sorry—" Mu Lingxiao was also a little embarrassed; he hadn't expected to hit Li Ze.
Looking at Li Ze with a guilty expression, he then rubbed salt into his wound: "I'm sorry, Brother Li, I didn't mean to smash your pants."
Li Ze, already on the verge of collapse, collapsed even further: "I didn't poop! I'm going to fucking kill you!"
Chaos, utter chaos.
Li Ze only calmed down when he saw Mu Lingxiao wrecked and curled up on the ground, clutching his buttocks, just like he had been in a sorry state.
They pinned their hopes on their disciples to rescue them.
But as one disciple after another fell, they could only hope that no one else would fall.
[Hahahaha!!! I'm dying of laughter! If the circumstances allowed, I would definitely want to see Xia Wanqing's face today—]
Qiyue, who was hiding her figure, was so engrossed in suppressing her laughter that she was trembling all over.
Le Luoxi and Gu Xingchuan's faces also turned red; they also wanted to see Xia Wanqing's face.
Only Quan Yin and Zhu Que trembled in fear. My God! How could someone so wicked and insidious invent such a talisman?
Nine-Tailed Fox looked completely bewildered. "So this is how humans use talismans? Master is amazing!!!"
Meanwhile, Mu Linghan, unable to find Qiyue, arrived nearby.
Looking at the exit of the secret realm and the large crowd in front of it, Mu Linghan frowned.
I hope she's alright and has already been released.
In the past few days, their sect members have been attacked and ambushed by other sects one after another, and many disciples have even lost their lives.
Although she had people she trusted by her side, he was still worried that those people couldn't protect her.
Mu Linghan was in a state of utter confusion.
Until a voice called out to him: "Senior Brother Mu!"
He turned around and saw the figure he had been longing for day and night. He rushed over and exclaimed, "Thank goodness you're alright!"
"Let's go, it's time to get out." Qiyue said calmly.
"Okay." Mu Linghan nodded obediently and walked towards the exit of the secret realm.
Upon reaching the exit, they saw black smoke and a foul stench rising continuously from the deep pit, and their disciples around them looking worried.
Mu Linghan's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed even more. This place was too dangerous; he needed to get her out of here as soon as possible.
Without the slightest pause or hesitation, he placed Qiyue and the others among the other disciples of the Liuyun Sect and led them out.
Having successfully left the secret realm, Qiyue seized the opportunity to return to the sect with Gu Xingchuan and the others.
In the deep pit of the secret realm, Xia Wanqing, who had been emptied out by farts, finally spoke.
"Do I know who did this?"
"Who!?" Upon hearing this, Li Ze and Mu Lingxiao, who were in distress, looked at her as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Xia Wanqing slowly uttered a name: "Qiyue".
The two were stunned for a moment: "...".
They exchanged a glance but didn't speak. Xia Wanqing's face darkened: "You don't believe me?"
"No, how could we not believe you?" The two forced a smile at Xia Wanqing.
Then he stopped talking.
Xia Wanqing was suddenly shocked: "Why don't you believe me? It really is her! And, back then in the cave, she..."
At this point, Xia Wanqing, seeing the probing looks in the eyes of the two people opposite her, suddenly came to her senses, regained her rationality, and shut her mouth.
She almost revealed that she had seen the Vermilion Bird inside the cave!
Although she really wanted Qiyue to die, she didn't want anyone else to know that Qiyue possessed the two supreme treasures of heaven and earth, the Vermilion Fruit and the Vermilion Bird!
Those two things can only be hers!
"Junior Sister Xia, what happened inside the cave?" Li Ze and Mu Lingxiao stared intently at Xia Wanqing, determined to get to the bottom of it.
Xia Wanqing sneered inwardly. Didn't she just not believe her? Why is she asking her now?
She looked up and gave a pale, forced smile. "It's nothing," she said. "I was just saying that I saw a heretical cultivator in the cave. The person's figure was very similar to hers, but I just thought about it again and realized that the person shouldn't be her. The aura of the cultivation technique on his body was different from hers."
"I must have misread it."
"A heretical cultivator! Junior Sister Xia! Are you sure you're a heretical cultivator?" Mu Lingxiao's eyes lit up.
Too many problems have arisen in this secret realm. Once someone proves that it was indeed the work of evil cultivators, no one will suspect that the problem lies within their Flowing Cloud Sect.
Although she was very reluctant to help Mu Lingxiao, Xia Wanqing still nodded.
Unlike Xia Wanqing's disheveled state, Qiyue, who had returned to the sect, radiated happiness from every cell in her body.
Qiyue stuffed all the demon cores into the Nine-Tailed Fox's head and patted its head: "Be a good girl and refine these demon cores. I'm going to cultivate."
"Eek~" Nine-Tails rubbed its face against Qiyue's hand, as if in response.
Qi Yue smiled and began her seclusion.
With only six months left until the Immortal Sword Competition, and having already obtained the Elixir Fire, she must perfect her puppetry skills and implement her plan.
On the other hand, not everyone from the Liuyun Sect came away empty-handed. For example, Nalan Qing, Mu Linghan, and Ruan Siyin all made quite a few gains.
The other disciples gained very little, but it wasn't like they gained nothing.
The people who ended up gaining nothing and suffering the most were those who were with Xia Wanqing.
Not only did they gain nothing, but they were also trapped in the formation, leaving them in a sorry state. After this incident, although everyone believed that it was the work of evil cultivators, the Liuyun Sect also stated that in the future, they would arrange for elders to observe the disciples' movements through the water mirror during the secret realm training.
However, there were many rumors that Xia Wanqing was a jinx.
