Chapter 280 Bai Ruoqian, who incurred the wrath of the masses
"Ouch...that hurts!"
A disciple of the Tianfeng Sect groaned in pain as his wound was aggravated, causing him a sharp pain. He patted the disciple beside him who was applying medicine to him and said, "Gently, gently!"
"Here, use this medicine."
Suddenly, a jade bottle was tossed into the disciple's arms. He caught it hastily, staring at Ye Luo in surprise, and asked in confusion, "Why is it you?"
Ye Luo chuckled lightly, "Hmm? Why can't it be me?"
The Tianfeng Sect disciple took the medicine bottle and examined it carefully, discovering that it contained high-grade medicinal powder.
He secretly rejoiced, quickly thanked Ye Luo, and then carefully applied the medicine powder to the wound.
Ye Luo glanced around and noticed that their injuries appeared to be caused by scratches. He frowned and asked, "What exactly happened to you?"
Upon hearing this...
The Tianfeng Sect disciple was pale, his eyes revealing deep fear, as if he had just experienced a life-or-death battle.
His body trembled, his voice filled with lingering fear as he said, "They seem to be evil spirits imprisoned within withered bones. Anyone caught by them will be frantically bitten and scratched. Everything happens so suddenly that some disciples don't even have time to react before their hearts are ripped out... their intestines are even torn out..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the disciple who was applying ointment to him couldn't help but cover his mouth and run to the side to vomit violently.
Ye Luo frowned, suppressing the nausea in her chest, and asked, "Were there any special signs before those evil spirits attacked you?"
“Signs?” The Tianfeng Sect disciple thought for a moment and said, “We seemed to hear a terrifying roar of a beast, and then felt a terrifying pressure that made us tremble all over…”
"Oh?" Ye Luo frowned slightly, wanting to ask more questions, when he saw Su Yuyuan striding towards them. His face was full of displeasure as he coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ye Luo curled his lips into a smile, raised an eyebrow at Su Yuyuan, and said, "Are you blind? Can't you see I'm helping you?"
"You're being so kind?" Bai Ruoqian walked up from behind with a cold voice. A few strands of her hair were hanging down, and she looked somewhat disheveled.
Ye Luo chuckled and said, "Look at what you're saying. I'm a rising star of the Immortal Alliance, how could I possibly harm you? You're just being petty and judging others by your own standards."
"Hmph, isn't that just petty thinking! Fellow Daoist Ye Luo didn't use me as a shield, nor did he do anything to harm us." At this moment, the injured Tianfeng Sect disciple glanced at Bai Ruoqian and said sarcastically, "Unlike someone who actually attacked a fellow disciple, it really is a tradition passed down in the Bai family!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Bai Ruoqian's face immediately turned ugly. Ever since Bai Qingyi's incident, her situation in the sect has become increasingly difficult. She has suffered a lot of cold looks and ridicule, both openly and secretly, and she has long been holding back a lot of anger.
"Bai Ruoqian, if you hadn't pushed us out to shield us from the disaster, would we be injured like this?" a male disciple leaning against the ship's side said angrily.
"That's right. In the past, she relied on her family background and talent to forcibly seize a lot of our cultivation resources. Now she treats our lives like dirt and doesn't care about our fellow disciples at all. She's such a selfish woman!"
"She even gave up her spot in the Heavenly Dao Spirit Platform, and this is the result of her shameful behavior... Now she's even trying to compete for a spot in the secret realm, she's utterly shameless!"
A chorus of dissatisfied curses erupted from the disciples, and Bai Ruoqian's face grew increasingly grim. Seeing this, Su Yuyuan pulled her behind him, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting? Don't let an outsider like Ye Luo stir things up!"
"What outsider? If I remember correctly, Ye Luo was originally a disciple of the Tianfeng Sect, and even the sect leader's nominal disciple!"
"Yes, there were rumors back then that he left the sect in a fit of anger, so he was probably forced to leave by her!"
At this moment, more and more voices of dissatisfaction arose. The emotions that everyone had suppressed for a long time seemed to have found an outlet, bursting out like a flood and instantly extinguishing Bai Ruoqian's high spirits.
Bai Ruoqian gritted her teeth in anger, her murderous intent growing stronger. "Fine, when the wall falls, everyone kicks it while it's down. You all just wait and see!"
"What's all the noise about!"
At this moment, Yang Shen walked over with his face covered in blood, glanced sternly at Su Yuyuan and Bai Ruoqian, and said, "Why aren't you going to help? What are you doing making a scene here!"
"Oh..." Su Yuyuan responded, and pulled Bai Ruoqian, who was full of resentment, away.
Yang Shen gave a few instructions to Lü Xuan beside him, then walked up to Ye Luo and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."
"It's nothing, just some pills." Ye Luo waved her hand with a smile. "Then I'll be going now."
"Okay, sure."
Xiao Huan followed behind Ye Luo, somewhat puzzled by his actions. "Why are you doing this out of the blue? What are you trying to do?"
"The way you're saying that makes me sound like I have ulterior motives."
"Come on, just tell me already," Xiao Huan asked curiously, persisting.
Ye Luo suddenly stopped and looked at him with a serious expression. "It's a secret."
After saying that, Ye Luo chuckled and turned to leave, leaving Xiao Huanmeng speechless on the spot. "What was that all about..."
...
At this moment, Bai Ruoqian was in the cabin, carefully recalling the details of the attack. It seemed that the evil spirits of Binding Soul Cliff were targeting her.
"Soul Guide, what on earth is going on? Why are those filthy things attacking me?!"
"How would I know?" Xin Hun Yin was also full of doubts. The menacing roar from the Soul-Binding Cliff made her feel inexplicably frightened. "Fortunately... these gullible people saved you from disaster, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"In the end, I'm still too weak!" Bai Ruoqian clenched her fists and slammed them on the bed, saying in a deep voice, "I want power... power that surpasses everything! I want to trample all those who have trampled on me under my feet!"
“Hehe, you won’t have to wait much longer,” said Xinhunyin. “As long as you break through another level in the cultivation technique I gave you, I can teach you the method of refining the soul. At that time, your cultivation will grow by leaps and bounds.”
"Really!" Bai Ruoqian's eyes shone with undisguised joy. "I can't wait!"
"Hehe, me too."
...
Due to this unforeseen event, the opening of the ancient battlefield secret realm has been postponed.
Fu Zhenghan was currently in a state of panic dealing with the aftermath, and his mind was filled with doubts. He naturally felt that the attack was aimed at their Tianfeng Sect, but he had no way of verifying the specific reasons.
"Master, Alliance Leader Mu requests your presence," Yang Shen said, walking quickly towards the door. "You can leave these matters to your disciple."
“Okay…” Fu Zhenghan’s voice was hoarse and his face was tired. He patted his shoulder and sighed, “It’s alright… Master still has you.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Shen was taken aback. "Master, you should go quickly."
"Um."
When Fu Zhenghan stepped into the cabin of Xuanwu Palace, he found that the leaders and elders of the major sects had already gathered together.
Their faces were serious and worried. Fu Zhenghan bowed to them one by one, and then slowly sat down.
Ming Cang spoke first, his voice heavy: "Sect Leader Fu, please accept my condolences."
Fu Zhenghan raised his head, looked at Ming Cang for a moment, and then slowly nodded. He took the teacup that Shui Yun handed him and said, "Thank you... If you hadn't arrived in time, our Tianfeng Sect would probably have suffered another heavy blow, or even been completely wiped out."
Nie Song waved his hand, "As fellow members of the Immortal Alliance, we should naturally be of one mind and one heart. There's no need for you to thank me! By the way, have you figured out the cause of this matter?"
"No."
Fu Zhenghan squeezed the teacup, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment: "This happened so suddenly, I'm still completely baffled and can't make sense of it at all."
“Then let’s find some time to go to Soul-Binding Cliff and investigate. This matter is really a hidden danger.” Nie Song said with a worried expression. “We must find out the truth as soon as possible to prevent similar things from happening again.”
Mu Tai also interjected, "Indeed, I have already sent people to set up barriers around the area, just in case. However, the opening time of the ancient battlefield cannot be delayed any longer... Sect Leader Fu, given the situation, do you still want to participate?"
After pondering for a moment, Fu Zhenghan put down his teacup, stood up, and said, "I need to go back and take stock of my disciples first, and then carefully consider and decide. Give me a quarter of an hour."
"Alright." Mu Tai nodded, and after watching him leave, he sighed, "This trip to the Tianfeng Sect has truly been a devastating blow..."
