It was seven days later when Xia Muge and Caiwei finished exploring the entire secret realm.
The two reaped a very rich harvest during these seven days.
I won't go into detail about the many rare herbs and medicines.
Xia Muge's strength has also broken through.
He was originally only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, but now he has advanced to the middle stage. Such a cultivation speed is astonishing even if it gets out.
Keep in mind that it only took him two or three years to advance to these two realms.
It must be admitted that Xia Muge is indeed exceptionally gifted.
Of course, in Caiwei's view, this was not a talent, but purely a matter of luck.
Because the time was right, the breakthrough became a natural progression.
That's how the world is; everything, no matter what, serves the purpose of destiny.
Under these circumstances, Caiwei couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had followed Xia Muge.
Although she initially only wanted to stay away from demonic cultivators, she now seems to see a greater possibility.
As they left the secret realm, Caiwei asked Xia Muge, "I have a question. Does your luck increase the more unlucky Xu Feng becomes?"
Although Xia Muge was puzzled by Caiwei's sudden question, she did not hide anything and said, "That's how it is."
At this point, the two were already a Daoist couple.
Moreover, although Caiwei had doubts, she probably already knew the truth, so there was no need for her to lie.
"Then let's make a deal."
Caiwei said, "I can help you scheme against Xu Feng, which will also help you. Of course, in return, I need you to make a vow against your inner demons."
"Help me completely break free from the demon race."
Caiwei's words made Xia Muge hesitate for a moment.
The oath of inner demons is just like the military pledge to the emperor in the mortal realm.
However, if the latter fails to do it, they will be beheaded, while if the former fails to do it, although they will not die, their cultivation level will be very difficult to improve.
Many cultivators fear inner demons. If an inner demon arises, the cultivator will need to spend a lifetime breaking through the inner demon's vow.
Of course, Xia Muge was not actually afraid of this.
The fact that he didn't experience any inner demons when he was soaking in the Yin Pool of the Nine Yin Holy Land was entirely because the system was protecting him.
In this situation, the inner demon oath was of no use to him.
So, after only a moment's hesitation, he said to Caiwei, "I swear by Heaven and by my inner demons that I will definitely help Caiwei escape from the demon race and help her gain freedom."
Upon hearing this, Caiwei couldn't help but smile brightly.
…
…
The Sacred Land of Clouds.
After a month, Xu Feng finally absorbed the Yang Pearl completely, which not only healed the injuries to his foundation, but also put his entire body into a state of extreme Yang.
Following the typical trope in novels, this state can only be resolved by women with yin energy, which naturally provides the protagonist with a legitimate reason to build a harem.
However, he has no intention of having a harem right now.
At this moment, not only was his body undergoing changes, but he was also on the verge of a breakthrough.
At this point, if he cultivates diligently, he can break through directly.
However, Xu Feng did not do that.
Because he was unwilling to accept it.
Just thinking about that fire ape made it impossible for him to cultivate in peace.
In this situation, Xu Feng had only one thought: to kill Yang Xiu.
Only by killing Yang Xiu will everything be resolved.
Under his self-hypnosis, he believed that the girl in the formation must have been sent by Yang Xiu, and that only Yang Xiu had such a deep hatred for him.
Therefore, he had an idea: to first frame Yang Xiu for colluding with the demons, and then, for the sake of righteousness, kill Yang Xiu.
In that case, even if the people from the Cloud Realm wanted to attack him, he would have the moral high ground.
However, before he could do so, he noticed that the others were looking at him strangely.
He used to be quite a celebrity in the Holy Land.
His female classmates and senior classmates were all jealous of him, and his male classmates and senior classmates would also try to curry favor with him.
But now, their eyes held a mixture of unfamiliarity and wariness.
"Xiaorou, what happened?"
He found a female disciple with whom he had shared intimate moments just three months prior.
However, the female disciple named Xiaorou forced a smile and subconsciously took a step back when she saw Xu Feng, saying, "Senior Brother Xu Feng."
Her body was telling him that she was rejecting him.
Could it be that someone found out about that matter? Xu Feng wondered.
If there's one thing he hates most about others knowing, it's naturally the incident that happened that day when he was tricked into the formation.
And if he were to think of someone who was most likely to spread the news, the first person that came to his mind would naturally be Yang Xiu.
He took a deep breath and forced a friendly expression: "Xiaorou, what's wrong? Why are people looking at me so strangely?"
Xiao Rou hesitated for a moment.
"If you don't talk, then don't blame your senior brother for using underhanded methods," he threatened.
At this time, Xu Feng was already a Nascent Soul expert, while Xiao Rou was only at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
She did not resist Xu Feng's methods at all.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Holy Scripture forbids harming fellow disciples; all rules must give way to geniuses, mustn't they?
As long as you don't go too far, the higher-ups will usually turn a blind eye.
Thinking of this, Xiaorou said, "It's because there's a rumor going around."
"Xu Feng, a disciple of the Yunhuan Holy Land, abducted the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan. As a result, the appearance of the Demon Clan caused chaos and the Great Xia Kingdom suffered an undeserved disaster."
When Xiaorou told him the news, Xu Feng's first reaction was happiness.
Thankfully, it wasn't the news that I was raped by the fire ape that got out.
The second thing is fear.
He angrily exclaimed, "Yang Xiu, that villain, has ruined me!"
He knew what this news meant.
The demons will not let him go, nor will the cultivators.
After all, she is a demon saintess, which is a merit for cultivators.
If he had actually done that, then he would have accepted it. But the fact that he didn't means that someone is trying to frame him.
This puts him in a situation where he faces enemies both inside and outside.
Even the Yunhuan Holy Land, which he regarded as his support, could become a force that would take his life under this news.
However, to his relief, the people from the sect just looked at him strangely, and no elders questioned him, clearly indicating that they did not believe the rumors.
In this situation, he is relatively safe.
No one wants to be an enemy of the Cloud Realm Holy Land.
Or rather, even if he abducted the Demon Saintess, it would still be credited to the Yunhuan Holy Land. No normal cultivator would think of going against the Holy Land for this.
In other words, the only thing he needs to be careful of is the demon race.
Thinking of this, Xu Feng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this is not the reason why he was falsely accused of abducting the demon saintess.
"Hehe, Yang Xiu, since you've done this, then it would be impolite of me not to reciprocate."
