West Mountain, Fire Phoenix Cave.
Liu Ying tightly grasped a green jade pendant in her hand, and was trembling with joy and anger.
Although the journey with Xuanxu Sword Sect was short, it has become an indelible shadow in her life. From today on, she would rather become a nun than flirt with sword cultivators without knowing what's good for her.
After the Fire Phoenix was roasted by the raging flames brought out by Ningning, the group entered the cave. She saw the jade pendant placed in the corner of the cave at a glance. Since she was the fastest, she rushed forward and snatched it away in an instant.
After that, the elders saw the scene of the self-exposure outside the mysterious mirror. It was a moving and heart-wrenching scene.
"Neon Island?"
He Zhizhou took a step back in astonishment, with a puzzled look in his big eyes: "But aren't you Le Xiu from Liuming Mountain?"
"Of course I lied to you, idiot!"
Seeing the dumbfounded expressions of the sword cultivators, Liu Ying felt a sense of satisfaction as if she had gotten her revenge. She tore off the black and gray mask, revealing her beautiful face: "Why, you are allowed to bully others, but we on Neon Island can't use some tricks?"
The more she spoke, the more proud she became. The jade pendant in her hand was as cold as ice and snow, causing Liu Ying to subconsciously clench it tightly.
As long as they have it, the sacred object that has been passed down by the fox clan for thousands of years will fall into the hands of Neon Island.
They are not like the Xuanxu Sword Sect who meddles in other people's affairs. The starting point of all their actions is to win the trial and snatch the treasure. Once they have the Burning Sun Bow in their hands, these two goals will naturally be no problem.
"Sister Liu, what do you want to do?"
Qiao Yan was so anxious that her face turned pale. She said in a trembling voice, "If we lose the jade pendant, we won't be able to get the Burning Sun Bow. When the demons break through the barrier one day, the fox tribe will be finished!"
Liu Ying raised her eyebrows and responded slowly, "We will consider resolving the matter of the demon clan."
Neon Island is not stupid, and of course it understands that eradicating the demons is a great achievement. Instead of leaving this honor to the Xuanxu Sect, it would be better to snatch the Burning Sun Bow and replace those sword cultivators to become the hero who slays the demons.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sharp sword wind coming from her side. It turned out that Ningning took the Star Mark Sword and attacked towards this side at a rapid speed.
She had the best physical skills among the young disciples of Xuanxu Sword Sect. Now she was as fast as lightning. Even Liu Ying didn't react in time and was hit hard on the wrist by the scabbard. The jade pendant in her hand fell down with a groan of pain.
——Damn, how could she still have the strength?
Seeing the jade pendant fall from her hand and be grasped by Ningning, Liu Ying frowned secretly, feeling annoyed in her heart.
As far as she knew, Ning Ning and Pei Ji were the ones who had contributed the most in the previous battle. After being drained of their spiritual energy by the Fire Phoenix, they shouldn't have much energy left at this moment. However, the result was -
wrong.
Liu Ying's eyes darkened.
Although Ningning's movements were swift and her attack was unexpected, her body was already shaking slightly. It seemed that her actions just now were all forced.
The stunning girl in a white dress curled her lips slightly, urging the spiritual energy that had been suppressed in her body for a long time, and approached her quickly with the force of a ghost.
The spiritual pressure is like a mountain, and the sword light is like water.
As the two confronted each other, Ningning, who had lost all her strength, was naturally at a disadvantage. She was hit on the chest by Liu Ying's palm wind, and the jade pendant slipped off and fell back into the hands of the beautiful cultivator from Neon Island.
Other people not far away were about to come forward to help, but Liu Ying felt that there was trouble, so she dodged backwards lightly, and her figure gradually dimmed like mist. After a slight sway, she used the force to quickly escape out of the cave.
She had been secretly looking forward to this move of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Ning Ning, Pei Ji and Xu Ye have lost most of their spiritual power, and He Zhizhou and Qiao Yan do not pose much of a threat. She has excellent physical skills to begin with, and she has not taken any action from beginning to end, so her spiritual power is at its peak, so she will definitely not be caught up.
Gusts of wind whistled past her ears and the sound of pursuit behind her gradually faded away. When only the whistling sound of the wind could be heard, Liu Ying finally let out an undisguised smile.
——Her hard work and humiliation were worth it, this jade pendant and the Burning Sun Bow are now in the pocket of Neon Island!
Since the jade pendant has been taken away from the Xuanxu Sword Sect, they will definitely rush to the secret door of the waterfall as soon as possible. She couldn't afford to delay, she had to lead her fellow disciples to get the Burning Sun Bow before they arrived there.
Otherwise, if they meet face to face, it will inevitably be a fierce battle.
In terms of physical skills, no one in all the sects can match them; but in terms of actual combat, those crazy sword practitioners of the Xuanxu Sword Sect are someone to be avoided.
The garrison of Neon Island is located not far from Xishan Mountain. Including Qiao Yan and Rong Ci, there are a total of seven Mei Xiu.
She did not dare to delay for a moment. After explaining what had happened in general, she quickly led everyone to the waterfall. What Qiao Yan said was indeed true. Passing through the dragon-like water flow, there really was a huge stone secret door standing on the mountain wall.
"Great revenge must be taken!"
One of the girls was so excited that her face turned red. “Once we get the Sunburnt Bow, we will kill those people from the Xuanxu Sect right away! It’s funny to think about their expressions when they are eliminated by the weapon they found with so much difficulty.”
Rong Ci, who had been fooled by Ning Ning before, frowned slightly: "The process of us taking the jade pendant was a bit too simple. Judging from the style of those people from Xuanxu Sword Sect, they might have cheated."
"Simple?"
Liu Ying pointed at her hair that had been curled into instant noodles and snorted coldly, "I've been tortured into this state. How can I face people in the future? When I get the Burning Sun Bow, I will personally take revenge on that group of people to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
After she said that, she took out the jade pendant from her arms and carefully placed it on the groove in the center of the stone door. It was neither too big nor too small, just right.
Liu Ying took a deep breath, an uncontrollable smile on her lips, her eyes fixed on the secret door, determined to see it open with her own eyes.
However, after a while, the stone gate did not respond at all.
After waiting for a while, still nothing happened.
Finally, someone couldn't wait any longer and asked hesitantly, "Senior Sister Liu... what's going on?"
How does she know!
Liu Ying was so angry at the Xuanxu Sect's torture that she became frustrated. Seeing that the stone gate was motionless as if it had passed away, she became even more annoyed. She took the jade pendant out of the groove, changed the direction and pushed it back in.
The whole world seemed to be dead.
Sorrow is a thick stone door, she is on one side and the scorching sun is on the other.
——Why is there still no reaction? !
Liu Ying's head was empty and buzzing. She took off the jade pendant tremblingly, and subconsciously recalled the scene when she fought with Ningning in the cave.
That's right.
Ningning had snatched the jade pendant away, but it was later snatched away by her again. Liu Ying just thought that the guy had lost his strength, but if everything was done on purpose by her, hiding the real jade pendant on her body first, and then deliberately giving away the fake one...
Got fooled!
“I was deceived.”
Liu Ying gritted her teeth and held it in her palm, wishing she could tear the fake jade into pieces: "They replaced it during the fight, this is fake."
"But I checked carefully, and this jade pendant does not have any illusion."
Rong Ci may have been traumatized by the last time he was deceived, and his brows were knitted tightly. "Can they really find a piece of jade that matches the stone gate in such a short time?"
Liu Ying was also puzzled.
Although there was a native fox in that group of people, who must have known the appearance of the real jade pendant very well, but from the time her identity was exposed to the fight for it, how did Ningning find a replacement in just a moment?
Could it be——
"Could it be that," Rong Ci also looked solemn, thinking of the same possibility as her, "they had already discovered your true identity and guessed that you would snatch the jade pendant, so they started preparing this fake one from the beginning?"
Liu Ying was unwilling and bit her lower lip.
This is the only explanation that makes sense now, and after meeting her, Ningning did take the initiative to explore the way ahead and leave her sight.
The storage bags of the cultivators were filled with all sorts of things, and Ning Ning might have brought the jade with her. If she had seen through everything earlier, she could have made a replacement at that time...
Liu Ying felt stuffy in her chest and a fishy taste in her throat.
No wonder Ningning wanted to bring the fox with her. Only the fox knew the size and appearance of the real jade pendant!
"Don't worry."
Rong Ci was much calmer than her, and was still analyzing calmly at this moment: "We still have a chance. The spiritual power of the Xuanxu Sword Sect group has been damaged, and they cannot fly in the secret realm, so their speed must be very slow. Although it is still dangerous to fight them head-on...but we can still devise another plan to get the real jade pendant back."
=====
In the dense forest, the slightest movement caused the grass to sway.
A handsome young man in a light green gown was quietly hiding under the shade of a tree, his long, black eyelashes like crow feathers gently closed, casting a dark shadow.
He almost blended in with the plants and trees around him, and it was difficult to detect his presence. On a forest path not far away, a group of young men with swords on their waists walked over.
"Miss Liu really did snatch the jade pendant and run away," He Zhizhou held a piece of grass in his mouth, a move he learned from martial arts heroes in TV dramas, "It's a pity it's fake. Do you think Neon Island will be so angry that they will come and fight us directly?"
"No, no."
Xu Ye shook his head and said, "We all have high cultivation bases, and sword cultivators are the best at fighting. They won't ask for trouble."
After a pause, he continued, "This time, it's all thanks to Ningning, who saw through Miss Liu's true identity at a glance. It's really not easy to act with her."
Rong Ci sighed inwardly.
"Since the real jade pendant is in our hands, there is no need to rush to the waterfall. The battle with the Fire Phoenix is really tiring, so why not take a rest here?"
Ning Ning stretched lazily, smiled softly and looked at Qiao Yan: "Remember to take good care of the jade pendant."
The little fox was somehow very nervous, with a wooden face. After hearing her words, he nodded heavily, and his voice also sounded stiff: "Yeah!"
So the group took a short break halfway. Xu Ye and He Zhizhou continued to discuss the problem of electric current. Pei Ji called Ning Ning in a muffled voice and handed her a healing pill.
Only Qiao Yan was not familiar with them. She sat alone and looked at the jade pendant in her hand.
It was a good opportunity for him to take action.
Rong Ci moved his fingertips, and with the guidance of spiritual power, a white rabbit appeared in the empty grass and jumped in front of Qiao Yan.
The fox girl was slightly stunned.
After all, she was just a little girl. When she saw the rabbit, she loved it and went forward to chase it, holding the jade pendant in her hand.
Rong Ci waited patiently in the shadows, and when the time was right, she let the rabbit kick its legs hard the moment she picked it up.
The kick just hit the jade pendant in his hand.
The jade pendant was not big, and its color matched the lush green woods around it perfectly. A string of arcs of light was seen falling slowly and soon disappeared.
"ah!"
Qiao Yan did not expect such an accident to happen. She quickly put down the white rabbit in her hand and squatted down to search carefully in the grass. As soon as his eyes fell, he found Cui Yu lying flat at his feet.
Rong Ci pursed his lips, a determined smile in his eyes.
The jade pendant was kicked by the rabbit, so it was impossible for it to appear right at her feet. What Qiao Yan saw was the fake jade that was snatched away by Liu Ying.
At that time, he saw Qiao Yan staying alone, and he quickly came up with a plan in his mind.
First place the fake jade here in advance, then use the rabbit to lure her into the forest, and when she arrives at the place where the fake jade is, let the rabbit stop and be hugged by her, and then kick it hard.
Qiao Yan was a young girl who had not experienced the world, so how could she think too much about conspiracies and intrigues? She just thought it was good luck, picked up the jade pendant happily, and went outside the forest to meet others.
This substitution was flawless, and the jade pendant went around in circles, and finally returned to the hands of Neon Island.
Ningning and others rested for a while, then quickly got up and continued on their journey. After the group of people walked away, the young man hiding in the shadows finally stepped forward and bowed quietly.
The fingertips, as smooth as white jade, slid across the green grass and finally landed on the rectangular jade deep in the grass.
They won this competition.
Rong Ci replied quickly. There is still some time before the Xuanxu Sword Sect reaches the waterfall. Although there was a small problem along the way, as long as the secret door is opened as soon as possible, Neon Island can still seize the Burning Sun Bow.
Liu Ying was exhausted both physically and mentally, and had completely lost interest. She didn't want to see the bow that had caused her so much trouble, so she said goodbye and returned to the camp to rest.
The other Neon Island disciples were all excited and urged him to open the secret door.
Unlike the fake jade, the jade in Rong Ci's hand appeared much thicker, and its emerald green color was like a clear pond, quiet and tranquil without the slightest ripple.
He gave a lazy smile and whispered to the people around him, "Once we obtain the Burning Sun Bow, we will set up an ambush here. The ancient artifact is so powerful that even a sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage would find it difficult to resist. I want to see how they can deal with it."
The young man's voice was clear and pleasant, but it inexplicably carried a chill that penetrated the bones. Amid the chilling sound of the waterfall hitting the rocks, his voice seemed even more murderous.
The splashing water vapor made him squint his eyes slightly. Rong Ci gently stroked the jade pendant and placed it on the depression of the secret door.
The jade pendant fell heavily.
Behind him was the roar of the waterfall, while the secret door in front of him remained motionless and as quiet as death.
As time passed, Rong Ci's brows furrowed and he gradually lost his patience.
This is impossible.
Why...still no movement?
"Ah, aren't these the people from Neon Island?"
Just when the six people from Neon Island were silent, a lively and cheerful female voice suddenly came from behind them.
The voice contained a hint of laughter that seemed to be hoping for chaos in the world. When it entered his ears together with the sound of the waterfall, it was like sharp knives that stabbed Rong Ci's head and made it ache.
He seemed to understand something, but he understood nothing.
When I stepped out of the waterfall and looked back, I saw Ningning's harmless, smiling face: "Why, are you waiting for the door to open?"
That look, that tone, it's so hypocritical, it's hypocritical to the extreme.
Rong Ci twitched his lips and didn't intend to waste words with her: "Is this jade pendant also fake?"
"What do you mean by 'also'?"
Ning Ning stood beside Pei Ji, her smiling face made even brighter by the wood beside her: "I only prepared a piece of fake jade."
She admitted it quite quickly, without any sense of guilt at all, and acted as nonchalantly as if she was discussing what to eat today.
Rong Ci's head was throbbing with pain. He probably understood a little bit how Liu Ying felt when she was with this group of people. He finally suppressed his anger and forced a smile, "Together?"
But it was clear that neither of the two pieces of jade could open the door.
etc.
One part is true, the other part is false. If they can't open the door in the waterfall, then -
No. meeting. Bar.
“It’s quite unexpected.”
Seeing that his face had turned even paler, He Zhizhou pointed to the waterfall behind Rong Ci and said, "In fact, the piece of jade that Miss Liu got was indeed real. The problem was this door - it was fake from the beginning."
=====
This is a long story.
When Ning Ning first met Liu Ying in Xishan, she used Transmission to start a small group chat and said straight to the point, "There's something wrong with this girl."
He Zhizhou still remembered her Xiao Chongshan's operation clearly, and had always regarded Ningning as an idol in terms of intelligence. He immediately responded when he heard it: "What?"
"She said that she was being hunted by Neon Island and fled all the way here, but there was no grass growing on the West Mountain, and there was no place to hide."
Ning Ning said, "If she really wanted to escape, she should have turned around and run away when she saw this scene, and hide somewhere with lush vegetation. But she not only went all the way up, but also ran to the middle of the mountain - are she and Neon Island stupid and blind, one running around, and the other unable to see prey in such an open place?"
She paused after she finished speaking, and looked at the tearful girl again. "Moreover, as a music repairman, even her most important zither could be damaged, but she didn't have any serious wounds on her body, only a few tears on her clothes... It's illogical."
What she said made some sense. Xu Ye thought about it and asked honestly, "She appeared in Xishan and deliberately approached us. Is she coveting the Burning Sun Bow?"
"It might be someone from Neon Island."
It was not Ningning who answered his question, but Pei Ji, who was always taciturn.
His face was cold when he transmitted the message. Seeing Ningning looking towards him, he lowered his eyes awkwardly: "She was able to wait for us in Xishan, which means she knew our plans and whereabouts very well - that is, she monitored and eavesdropped on us."
"Among all the sects, only the Neon Island has the strongest body skills and is best at hiding its whereabouts. It is likely that they are the only ones who can monitor without being noticed."
Xu Ye understood and continued, "Besides, they still hold a grudge against Ning Ning, and they will definitely take this opportunity to take revenge during this trial!"
"We'll know if he's from Neon Island once we give him a try."
Ning Ning curled her lips and said with a hint of teasing, "I will leave with Pei Ji later. If she approaches you on purpose, then it's a sure thing - don't be fickle and let her seduce you."
He Zhizhou opened his eyes wide and looked at her, saying righteously: "Am I that kind of person? Don't worry, if this is really a Neon Island charmer, I will let her learn what the harmonious light of socialism is today."
In the end, there was no need for them to test each other deliberately. Miss Liu was so professional that she came up to him after a while, acting coquettishly and showing her shoulders. He Zhizhou had to teach her about positive and negative charges for a long time.
"Confirmed, it's Neon Island."
When Ning Ning came back and Liu Ying continued to pester Pei Ji, Xu Ye honestly sent her a voice transmission: "How about we just take the token from her? Neon Island has always been strong, and Miss Liu should have several of them."
Ningning shook her head.
Then she smiled at him with her eyes bent, "How can a few dollars be enough? Young people should have dreams. If you want to do something, do something big."
"Big one?"
He Zhizhou was still immersed in his physics, and his attention was drawn to the words: "You mean, the other people from Neon Island?"
Ningning hummed softly, her eyes fixed on the backs of Pei Ji and Liu Ying walking together in front of her. Perhaps she saw the former's tactical retreat, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
"The Neon Island's whereabouts are treacherous and unpredictable. Although they are good at collective action, it is difficult to find their hiding place."
She said: "I want them to appear together unless something very important happens, such as-"
Xu Ye suddenly realized: "For example, after they find the jade pendant, they will definitely go together to get the Burning Sun Bow!"
"That's right. Liu Ying acted alone because she needed to be an undercover agent. The Sunburnt Bow is a sacred object of the Spirit Fox, and it is of great importance. In order to prevent it from being snatched away by others, they will definitely go together to get it - by then, we will be able to wipe out Neon Island in one fell swoop."
Ning Ning's eyebrows curved, as if she found it interesting, and the end of her voice rose gently like a cat's tail: "So, we must let Liu Ying get the jade pendant."
"But if she gets the real thing, the people of Neon Island are the best at physical training, and they will definitely reach the destination before us and get the Burning Sun Bow."
He Zhizhou touched his chin and analyzed: "If I use illusion to make a fake one, Liu Ying will definitely examine it carefully when she gets the jade pendant, and she will easily find out that it is not the real thing."
Liu Ying, who was walking in front of them, knew nothing about anything and was still trying hard to talk to Pei Ji. It was obvious that she was deliberately teasing him, but compared with the people behind her, she seemed particularly pure and unpretentious.
Ning Ning's expression remained unchanged as she kicked a small stone on the side of the road away: "So, we can't focus on the jade pendant."
He Zhizhou and Xu Ye were both stunned, and then she continued in a soft and gentle voice: "Have you forgotten? In addition to the jade pendant, if you want to get the Burning Sun Bow, there is another very important object - the secret door."
A key is indispensable, but if the door hole is wrong, it cannot be opened.
"Now that everyone's attention is focused on the jade pendant, we can naturally do the opposite and do something with the secret door. Who would go out of their way to check whether the secret door is an illusion?"
Ning Ning explained slowly, "I'll have to ask Miss Qiao Yan to cooperate with us in this play. I've made an agreement with her. When I deliberately ask her where the Burning Sun Bow is hidden, Miss Qiao will answer a wrong location - that is, behind the waterfall."
He Zhizhou didn't understand: "But there won't be a secret door in that fake place. What if they see something is wrong and evacuate early?"
"If there isn't one, why not just build one?"
Ningning explained patiently, blinking at him gently as she spoke: "Although our agility is not as good as that of Neon Island, and we can't set up the illusion before they arrive, but aren't there other people living near the waterfall?"
"You mean—" Xu Ye slapped his forehead, "Fox Tribe!"
The fox tribe is best at using illusions, and it just so happens that besides Qiao Yan, there is another child in the tribe who can move freely.
When she and Qiao Yan were "exploring the way up the mountain", she used the communication talisman to send him a message, and set up an illusion behind the waterfall in advance to imitate the appearance of a secret door.
No matter how much Neon Island planned, it would never have imagined that the key was real but the door was fake.
In addition, Ningning and Liu Ying had fought over the jade pendant, so it is natural to assume that the jade pendant was replaced at that time.
"There are more interesting things to come."
Ning Ning didn't know what she was thinking of, and the corners of her mouth curved even deeper: "Think about it, if they find out that the jade pendant is fake and we have another one in our hands, Neon Island won't dare to confront us head-on. With the character of those people, what will they do?"
"They will..."
He Zhizhou was halfway through his speech when he finally figured it out and burst out laughing: "He thought he could exchange the two jade pendants without anyone noticing."
Absolutely, so amazing!
Neon Island never thought that the jade pendant in his hand was genuine. He had painstakingly planned such a plan, but in fact he had handed it back to Ningning with his own hands, and all his efforts were in vain.
"Wait, wait! There's one thing I don't understand."
Xu Ye was a curious child, with a head full of question marks: "We don't have the materials to make jade pendants, fake jade can only be made using illusion. What if they are on guard and check it again and find out it's fake?"
"The chances are slim."
Ning Ning didn't care. Seeing that Pei Ji in front of her was almost impatient to draw his sword, she quickly quickened her speech: "First of all, time is tight after the second exchange. If they want to get to the waterfall before us and take the Sunburnt Bow, they will definitely not slack off or stop. Secondly -"
She paused for a moment and quickly looked up at Xu Ye: "Secondly, there is also a bit of gambling involved. According to human thinking habits, people will especially cherish the hope they get back after failure. They thought they were cheated before, and it was hard for them to imagine that it was actually a trick. This time, they will definitely seize the opportunity and believe that it is the real jade pendant."
He Zhizhou just wanted to applaud, saying he was an expert, and secretly felt lucky that Ningning was the junior sister of his own sect.
If you stand on the opposite side of her, you will be played around with like she did in Neon Island without knowing it, which is simply worse than death.
"But that doesn't matter anymore."
Ning Ning still looked kind and gentle. Her long skirt spun slightly, and waves of floating flowers bloomed on the ground. "No matter what, by then, the real jade pendant will be in our hands."
"If that's the case," Xu Ye scratched his head, "why did I go to so much trouble to make a fake jade pendant for them?"
When he said this, Ningning had already taken a few steps forward, trying to stop Pei Ji from drawing his sword.
She turned her head slightly when she heard that, and raised her eyebrow lightly: "Of course there is a gift, which I will give to them together with the jade pendant."
=====
In front of the waterfall, the situation was particularly tense.
Rong Ci stood in the freezing cold pool and felt the water flowing up along his ankles, piercing his meridians and soaking his entire body in a layer of cold.
"So," he almost squeezed these words out of his throat, his voice was rough and hoarse, "when you and Liu Ying were fighting for the jade pendant, did you deliberately take it away and then deliberately lose it to her?"
Ning Ning nodded gently: "That was a psychological hint. The purpose was to make her think that I had replaced the jade pendant with a fake one when the secret door could not be opened, so as to lure you to replace the jade pendant again - I don't always keep a piece of jade in my storage bag, so I can't make such a realistic fake."
"And when I used the rabbit to lure the fox tribe," he said angrily, "were you guys deliberately acting and letting your guard down?"
Ning Ning said confidently, "Otherwise why would I ask you to put the real jade pendant back into our hands?"
No wonder Qiao Yan looked weird at the time, because she was not like the group of movie stars around her who knew they were acting and deceiving people, and subconsciously felt nervous.
This sentence was so hurtful that Rong Ci just wanted to vomit blood.
He would never have imagined that from the moment Liu Ying first met them, everything was destined to be a scam.
The irrational behavioral logic of He Zhizhou and Xu Ye, the so-called "exploring the way ahead", and the location of the secret door in the fox's mouth.
Even when Ningning was fighting with Liuying for the jade pendant, the action of snatching it but then accidentally having it taken away was all part of the plan.
"I have to apologize to Miss Liu. It was me who asked He Zhizhou and Xu Ye to tease her a little."
Ning Ning didn't see Liu Ying, and showed a disappointed look: "Only by making her upset can we achieve the effect of disrupting her mind and make her fall into the trap without thinking, making it easier to implement the plan."
"I want to say sorry to her, too."
He Zhizhou was a little embarrassed and grinned awkwardly: "As for the stone fragment incident, I was really anxious and wanted to help her stop the bleeding... Oh, I can't explain it clearly. I was so scared by the Fire Phoenix at that time that I didn't mean to hurt her."
Rong Ci curled his lips coldly.
No, there is actually another explanation that everyone knows.
Don't you just have some problem with your brain?
"so what?"
He was so angry that his head was dazed. He thought he could teach Xuanxu Sect how to behave, but he didn't expect that he was inferior to them and was pressed to the ground, with a bruised face. "You worked so hard to set up such a situation, just to show us a fake door and a fake key?"
There was a moment of silence.
Ningning looked at him with a frown, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
"The jade pendant on the door is fake. It was cast with an illusion long ago. You should know this, right?"
She looked up at the white waves splashing in the waterfall, and after a long while she answered gently, "Don't you want to know what it is under the illusion?"
She paused and thought carefully for a moment: "Or... aren't you curious why I chose the waterfall as the secret door when the secret realm is so big?"
Why choose here? How does he know!
Rong Ci was on the verge of collapse, repeatedly tormented by anger and humiliation. Without thinking much, he turned around and walked into the turbulent water of the waterfall.
In the waves that kept washing his eyelashes, he finally saw the original appearance of the "jade pendant".
A square stone with two talismans pasted on it.
A sound transmission talisman for monitoring, and a thunder talisman for attracting lightning.
——The reason why Ningning set the secret door here is because the only water area in the secret realm that can be entered is under the waterfall.
The impurities in water have very good conductivity.
It was not until this moment that he finally understood Ning Ning's entire plan.
First, he used the incident of the Burning Sun Bow to lure out all the people from Neon Island and lead them to the waterfall. Then he used real and fake jade pendants to buy time so that the people from the Xuanxu Sect could arrive in time and run into them.
Most importantly, at the same time, he induced Rong Ci to personally hand over the jade pendant and stick the thunder talisman behind the waterfall.
It turned out to be a hole he dug for himself. "Although you said you would set up an ambush, it's probably too late, right?"
He Zhizhou sighed shamelessly: "Then we'll take the initiative. Thank you bosses for the reward tokens."
"You are despicable and shameless!"
A Neon Island disciple was furious, his eyes red with grievance: "How can you play tricks on me like this, how can you!"
"that is!"
Another one choked up and echoed him: "How can a cultivator use such a vicious trick! If you have the guts, come and fight me head-on-"
Halfway through his speech, he realized that they didn't have the guts to confront the enemy head-on, so he quickly changed his words: "If you have the guts, use the thunder to strike us! The elders have seen through your schemes and tricks! Shameless villains!"
…It was obvious that they were the ones who started to play tricks first.
He actually wanted to be struck by lightning so urgently. Ningning had never heard of such a strange request before, and she felt complicated for a moment.
Try it and you'll die, that's what they say.
If Liu Ying was present and saw the following scene, she would definitely remember what He Zhizhou had told her about electricity and ions.
The charged particles moved rapidly in the electric current, and with a flash of lightning, the entire lake was shrouded in a layer of faint golden light, with splashing waves and undercurrents.
Science is so beautiful.
Ning Ning was not completely heartless, so she deliberately adjusted the power of the thunder talisman to be very small so as not to cause serious injuries or death. At most, it would put them into a coma for a period of time.
In Rong Ci's original plan, he should have been calm and leisurely holding the Burning Sun Bow, slowly walked to the defeated Ning Ning, leaned over and told her with a smile: "If you beg me, I may be able to let you go today."
However, the reality was that he and several other disciples of Neon Island were electrocuted to the point of having their mouths and eyes twisted. Their expressions were ferocious as if they were wearing masks of pain. Their limbs twitched, and from the depths of their throats, wild tremors from their souls emanated, like dancing gods twisting in the electronic music:
“You guys – uh uh uh – wait uh uh uh – and see!”
He never wanted to fight with Ningning again.
This girl's unconventional tactics were so numerous that Rong Ci could never figure them out.
For example, wind overcomes fire, and water produces thunder.
——No normal person would play like this! Your five elements of mutual generation and mutual restraint are outrageous!
