Feng Yinyue's eyes were deeply sunken, her gaze empty and numb. Her face was like a pale stone sculpture covered with yellow wax, or like a dead person's face covered with a layer of ash, completely devoid of any vitality.
She glared fiercely at the crowd, and when she saw the sect disciples cowering in the back whispering among themselves, a thought suddenly struck her.
—Only those within the secret realm know the secret of her identity!
If she leaves the secret realm, and if all these people are trapped inside and die, then... then no one will know she is a demon, right?
Once we get out and eat a few more people, my arm won't grow back, but my dantian and meridians can recover somewhat...
The entrance to the rift in the demon realm is narrow, and over the years only a few dozen demon cultivators have managed to infiltrate the human realm. Apart from those who died, the rest have all entered the secret realm.
Those demonic beasts that just self-destructed were all originally from the secret realm itself. As long as the demonic cultivators are still here, she still has hope!
The rosy light abruptly faded, falling into the alchemy furnace. The furnace lid popped open with a bang, and a golden pill, supported by spiritual energy, floated out leisurely.
The moment the pill was produced, the man's gaze sharpened.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand, his expression growing increasingly somber. Tong Su pretended not to notice the atmosphere in the air, and smilingly presented the pill to Tian Xuanzi.
"Senior brother, I did it! I refined this demonic flower into a pill, which can rebuild your spiritual root!"
Her voice was filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement. Tian Xuanzi was stunned for a moment, and even stronger emotions welled up in his deep, dark eyes. Suddenly, he opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace, holding her tightly.
His voice was slightly hoarse: "You insist on entering the secret realm because you want to find the Soul-Devouring Demon Flower?"
Tong Su's face flushed slightly, and she felt a little guilty. She responded softly and carefully nudged him, "You eat it first."
He didn't say it, but she knew just how worried he was about her going into the secret realm.
She insisted on coming, and he didn't say anything, but he did so many things for her behind her back.
Like this clone, like the change in the reputation of demonic cultivators in the outside world, and like how he arrived at just the right time to save her.
He's always like this; he never tells her what he does to please her.
But when she discovers it herself, she is always moved and her heart is warmed.
He stared at her intently for a long while, then lowered his head slightly. Tong Su felt a cool, damp touch on her palm, which was his thin lips gently kissing her.
Her face flushed red, and the man opened his mouth and swallowed the pill into her stomach from her palm before sitting cross-legged.
A burst of fiery spiritual energy suddenly erupted from his body. Xuanxi closed his eyes tightly and instantly entered a meditative state. His face was expressionless, but beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, and veins throbbed.
He was clearly enduring immense pain!
"Teacher, teacher, what's going on?"
Tong Su panicked a little and hurriedly contacted Xuan Yan Dan Zu through the bracelet.
Xuan Yan Dan Zu comforted him, "Little Bai, don't panic. This is normal. Reshaping one's spiritual root is naturally painful, but as long as this guy can endure it, there won't be any problems."
Aside from cultivation level, his clone and main body are synchronized in everything else. When his clone reshapes his spiritual root, his main body will also naturally grow a spiritual root.
"However, you must protect him. At this time, he cannot sense any external information, and you must not interrupt him or forcibly wake him up."
“No problem, I’ll keep an eye on him,” Tong Su agreed, then asked, “How’s it outside now? I reckon we’ll be able to get out of the secret realm once Senior Brother wakes up.”
Wen Qingyuan scoffed, "Those sects have really lost face this time. Do they even have the nerve to say a word? Don't worry, we—"
Just then, a scream suddenly rang out from afar!
