Yan Zhen sneered, clearly not believing Nie Yuchen's words.
Consumed by jealousy, he was eager to expose Nie Yuchen's true colors in front of Mingluo, ensuring that neither he nor his clone could ever touch the master in the slightest.
He sneered, "Your so-called difference is just a feint, secretly transferring your master's soul to this world. Do you think I don't know that the wishing flower you secretly kept was nourished by the deep waters of the forest? You made this plan ten thousand years ago. If we're talking about hidden ambition, Nie Yuchen, I'm not even a fraction as good as you."
"I'm just openly bad, while you're wicked in secret."
“Nie Yuchen, you are the truly shameless one.”
A layer of frost settled on Nie Yuchen's snow-white face. He unconsciously looked at Mingluo and offered a pale explanation.
“I do use the deep water of the forest to grow flowers, but I absolutely do not use it to imprison my master’s soul. I have other purposes for it.”
"Hahaha, you still want to argue when faced with the facts." Yan Zhen seemed to have caught Nie Yuchen by the nose. His smile suddenly stopped, and he said coldly, "I'll say it one last time, get out of here, or I'll beat you to pieces."
“Is that so?” Nie Yuchen’s face suddenly became firm. “Then I will have no choice but to destroy Master’s body.”
Yan Zhen's dark eyes burned with fury; he seemed to have been pushed to the limit.
He glanced at the place where Mingluo was hiding, then looked at Mingluo's body in the sea of flowers in the sky.
One is the soul, and the other is the body.
He couldn't bear to part with any of them.
He gave a cold, low laugh, as if mocking himself, and said, "I never thought I would be outmaneuvered by you one day. Master, I'll go back and take care of your body first. Wait for me to return."
He flashed and flew towards the water mirror in the sky.
At the same time, a confinement formation was set up, firmly imprisoning Mingluo within it.
Mingluo's eyes narrowed slightly...
That wicked disciple has gone mad!
She quickly took out the talismans that had been inscribed with Zhao Youde's blood essence. Countless talismans burst forth with astonishing power in an instant, breaking Yan Zhen's binding formation.
She flashed away, bit her fingertip, and fled quickly, simultaneously using her divine sense to rapidly draw an invisibility array, concealing herself once again.
When Master Yan flew towards the Water Mirror, he saw this scene and was stunned.
A wicked smile played on his lips. "Master, you always manage to surprise me."
He quickly flew into the water mirror, and the instant he landed, he struck Nie Yuchen in the water mirror with a palm.
Nie Yuchen groaned, changed direction, and fell out of the water mirror.
Amidst Yan Zhen's smug smile, he swiftly sealed the Water Mirror. Before the Water Mirror sealed, he saw Yan Zhen's astonished and furious face, and felt an immense sense of satisfaction.
As soon as he landed, he looked around and softly called out, "Master!"
Minglu did not respond to him.
She is now the weak one in this dog-eat-dog world; one wrong move and she could lose everything.
Moreover, at this moment, she had countless questions in her mind.
She felt as if she had never known these two disciples.
She used to be in a high position and only saw the good side of them.
Now that she has fallen to the bottom, she finally sees their true colors.
She can't trust either Yan Zhen or Nie Yuchen now.
As if hearing her innermost thoughts, Nie Yuchen sighed deeply and said with a hint of resentment, "Master, I am Yuchen. You can believe me. I never intended to harm you. I just wanted to protect you."
He looked at the place where Mingluo was hiding.
Although Mingluo's array formations are powerful, his secondary cultivation is also array formations, and his mastery of array formations has long surpassed that of Mingluo.
Therefore, he could tell at a glance where Mingluo was hiding.
He wasn't in a hurry to see Mingluo. Instead, he found a place to sit cross-legged and began to heal his body.
Yan Zhen's palm strike just now injured him. If he can't treat it in time, he might not be able to cope with the fierce battle ahead.
Before closing his eyes, he silently moved a bottle of pills in front of Mingluo.
Minglu stared silently at the pills before her, her mind in turmoil.
This is a bottle of Yunyang Pills, which can assist in cultivation and quickly improve one's power.
Nie Yuchen is truly thoughtful.
She always thought her disciple was obedient and cute, but it turns out he had been plotting for ten thousand years.
The wishing flower, nourished by the deep waters of the forest, can capture the souls of all the dead and take them wherever they wish to go.
Such a miraculous artifact naturally requires considerable effort to acquire.
It takes about one in ten thousand wishing flowers to be successfully grown, and it takes ten thousand years to grow one.
In the path of spiritual cultivation, time is not valuable.
But most people would rather spend their time on self-cultivation than on growing a flower.
She simply couldn't understand how Nie Yuchen could have such patience to water flowers, and to do so for ten thousand years.
His thoughts are truly unfathomable.
Since he gave her this pill, it means he already knew about her condition.
Her cold eyes narrowed slightly. She swallowed the pill and began to meditate and cultivate. This place was set up by Yan Zhen with great effort. The spiritual energy was so rich that it was intoxicating. Cultivating in such a place was equivalent to cultivating outside for ten years.
Since we can't escape, we might as well improve our strength first.
A storm of spiritual energy surged around her, flowing into Mingluo's body, cleansing her meridians and removing impurities.
In that short period of time, Mingluo's physique improved dramatically, and her previously weak body gradually became stronger.
a long time.
She sensed someone near the formation and realized that her cultivation was nearing completion and she couldn't advance any further. So she slowly opened her eyes and immediately saw Nie Yuchen, who had a respectful expression on his face.
Nie Yuchen was dressed in flowing white robes, her black hair tied up with a jade crown, her beauty was ethereal and exquisite.
He lowered his dark eyes, bowed, and said, "Disciple greets Master."
Mingluo glanced at him indifferently and said calmly, "Master? Am I?"
Nie Yuchen's expression stiffened for a moment, then he said firmly and seriously, "Yes, once a teacher, always a teacher. You will always be my teacher."
Minglu smiled.
"Then what's the story behind this wishing flower?"
She gently touched her collarbone with her finger through her clothes.
That thing she always thought was a peach blossom had caused the original owner a lot of trouble.
She thought it was something the original owner was born with, but now it's clear that all of this is aimed at her.
Nie Yuchen's breath hitched slightly, and he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
He said with difficulty, "Master, I did not mean to hide it from you. I secretly stole the Heavenly Observation Manual and calculated your fate. I saw that you are destined to face a calamity."
"But at that time, I didn't know what kind of calamity it was, so I secretly nurtured the wishing flower. I thought that as long as the wishing flower existed, your soul would not perish, and you wouldn't be considered dead. That's why I..."
"Then what about Mingluo and Nie Yuchen in this world? Why do they look exactly like you and me for no reason?" Mingluo looked at him with a half-smile, but her eyes were icy cold.
