"Continue what?"
Everyone asked subconsciously.
"What else could it be?" Jiang Deng smiled slightly and raised his hand, saying, "Of course, continue your performance."
“…”
Nangong Xiangrui suddenly pulled herself out of the bitterness and hatred she had just felt when she saw Pei Ranzhi. Not only that, she almost laughed out loud.
However, it would be a shame to let Jiang Deng down. She had originally planned to cut the Gordian knot and end things with Pei Ranzhi as soon as possible. Now that she had met him in advance, she naturally didn't want to miss it.
"Take it!"
Nangong Xiangrui handed the Red Plum Sword in his hand to Pei Ranzhi.
Pei Ranzhi's eyes were full of confusion, "Why give it to me? This is our engagement token."
"Because..." Nangong Xiangrui sneered, "Because I want to cancel the engagement. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other's weddings and funerals!"
Pei Ranzhi was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with tears, as if he was about to cry, "I, I don't agree!"
Nangong Xiangrui frowned.
It was clearly Pei Ranzhi's family who framed her, so why did they make it seem like she had wronged him?
"It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, just take it and it'll be over."
"……I don't!"
Pushing away Nangong Xiangrui's hand that was offering him the sword, Pei Ranzhi shook his head like a rattle. "In short, don't even think about getting rid of me. I won't agree to cancel the engagement no matter what!"
"Hey! Pei, you're itching for trouble, right?"
Nangong Xiangrui's temper suddenly flared up, and she couldn't help but roll up her sleeves, intending to teach Pei Ranzhi a lesson.
Pei Ranzhi didn't retreat at all. Tears welled up in his eyes and fell softly. He stiffened his neck and said, "If you want to cancel the engagement, there's only one way. Kill me and our engagement will be automatically cancelled!"
"Do you think I don't dare?"
"Come on!"
…
Seeing that the two were about to delay any further, Ji Shi, the only female among the three Kaitianmen disciples present, quickly spoke up to remind them, "Ahem! Senior Brother, now is not the time to discuss this."
"Don't forget the important matter. It is the right thing to do to quickly wipe out the evil sect of the Lighting Sect. The rest of the matters can be discussed after the matter is accomplished."
Hearing this, Nangong Xiangrui raised his eyebrows slightly, "Hey, you were also sent here to light the lamp?"
Ji Shi nodded, "Yes, my four brothers and sisters are here on the orders of our master to wipe out the Dian Deng Sect entrenched in Black Valley Mountain."
"Wait a minute," Jiang Deng said. He stretched out his hand and counted the people opposite him again and again. "One, two, three. There are only three of you here. Where did the fourth person come from?"
Um???
Pei Ranzhi and the other two turned around at the same time and were stunned to see that the corridor was indeed empty.
Third Junior Brother Gan Yufan exclaimed, "Where's Junior Brother?"
Ji Shi also frowned slightly, "Mingming, my junior brother was here just now..."
Pei Ranzhi's pupils shrank. "Oh no! He heard the leader of the Dian Deng Sect, Jiu Kui, mention using mortals to refine medicine. He must have followed him to the main cave!"
"Oh my God, junior brother, there must not be any mistakes!" Gan Yufan looked worried.
That junior brother has a prominent background. The Baiqian Spiritual Realm sent just this one person here. I heard that he is the only son of the Lord of the Baiqian Spiritual Realm. If something really happens to him, Kaitianmen will also be in trouble!
"Chase after them!"
The three of them didn't care about anything else and quickly turned around and ran back.
"Um?"
Jiang Deng and Nangong Xiangrui looked at each other and vaguely understood something.
The minions who were carrying the corpse before said that there were distinguished guests coming to discuss business today. They must be these disciples of Kaitianmen in disguise.
Now it seems that the direction they are running is the same as the mark left by the Nangong family spies. I can follow them and see...
"Walk!"
As Nangong Xiangrui raised his hand, everyone followed suit and walked quickly.
Soon, everyone arrived at the so-called main cave.
Although there were no guards outside the main cave, Pei Ranzhi and his companions still did not enter and were anxiously wandering around outside.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Deng asked curiously.
Ji Shi said with a worried look on his face, "There is a defensive formation set up by a powerful person in the Spiritual Transformation Realm at the entrance of the cave. We can't get in."
"Hey? Let me take a look."
Jiang Deng instantly became interested. She walked to the cave entrance and explored for a while. She actually found a formation there. It was a mid-grade earth-level formation, which was just enough for her to solve with her current cultivation level.
"How can it be solved?" Nangong Xiangrui asked.
Jiang Deng nodded, "Okay, but it will take some time to break the formation."
"How long?" Pei Ranzhi also asked.
"Give me a quarter of an hour."
Jiang Deng dropped these words and fell silent, concentrating on studying the defensive formation. It must be said that the person who set up the formation was quite skilled, and it was quite difficult to decipher...
Although there was a formation blocking the entrance of the cave and they could not enter, they could clearly see the scene inside the cave through the entrance.
There were hundreds of mortals in the cave who were bound by magic and had to kneel on the ground. They stared with wide eyes and fear on their faces at the evil cultivators approaching them.
Those evil cultivators acted without mercy, decisively holding daggers, cutting open their chests, taking out their hearts, and squeezing the blood into a container.
Finally... bowl after bowl of heart blood was poured into a pile of soil on the platform.
Because it had been soaked in blood for a long time, the color of the soil layer appeared a strange dark red. The soil layer at the top shook slightly, and then a tender sprout broke out of the soil.
Unlike the usual tender green buds, the buds of this plant are dark purple. As the blood from the heart is continuously poured into it, it begins to grow, and grows faster and faster, and a flower bud has already bulged out.
"Hahahaha! Drive faster! Faster!"
The middle-aged man on the platform had red eyes and stared at the flower bud with a crazy look.
He is the leader of the Dian Deng Sect, Jiu Kui, who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.
"This is... Purple Netherworld Flower? How is this possible!"
The people outside the cave couldn't help but murmur.
Gan Yufan asked curiously, "Big Brother, what is the Purple Netherworld Flower?"
"The Purple Netherworld Flower is known as one of the ten rare flowers, and is ranked as the lower heavenly grade. Legend has it that it grows by the Netherworld River and can communicate with the dead. If consumed by evil cultivators, it can also have the miraculous effect of increasing their cultivation."
Pei Ranzhi frowned slightly at this point, "But how did it appear here? If we leave the Netherworld River and want the Purple Netherworld Flower's seeds to germinate, it will require the blood and sweat of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people to nurture it!"
Bang!
Nangong Xiangrui angrily punched the stone wall, "How dare they harm mortals like this? These evil cultivators really deserve to be killed!"
Everyone present wanted to rush in and kill all the evil cultivators who had done so much evil!
But even if they wanted to go in again, they were blocked by the protective formation and could only watch those evil cultivators continue to brutally kill mortals. Their silver teeth were almost broken in anger.
Nangong Xiangrui asked, "Jiang Deng, when can we break the formation?"
