She assumed that those who brought the sect disciples here should have already given them a basic overview of the desolate lands, but it turned out she had been too naive. Not everyone was like her, making a concerted effort to thoroughly understand the place they were going to before venturing out. There were too many fools, which made her rather irritable.
"No water, bear with it! If you really can't stand it, go back. We've only gone a short distance into the desolate land. If we wait any longer, it will be too late to regret it. Don't you know that you can't use spiritual or magical power here? If any fool tries to use spiritual power and dies from exhaustion halfway through, don't blame me, Qiaoyin, for not warning you."
She had to remind them before they left, and then again after they left; sure enough, this trip was no easy task. If there were a next time, she'd rather forgo those few rare materials than bring a bunch of fools on an adventure. She'd be much better off focusing on researching her puppets.

If they could uncover the demons' schemes this time, it would be a great achievement upon their return. Even if they were scolded or had to walk a few extra steps, it would be worth it. Besides, if they really encountered danger, would Qiaoyin abandon them?
Despite her fierce scolding, rumors say that almost everyone who goes out with her returns unscathed. If you're outmatched in strength and in danger, you'll rely on her for help, so you can simply ignore her insults.
Thinking this to themselves, everyone quickened their pace and followed closely behind Qiaoyin.
The disguised demons knew very well that they were heading in a direction that seemed to be not far from the burial ground. Hopefully, this time, it wouldn't be a wasted trip.
