Chapter 429
Wu Yan, who was just chatting with his senior brother, sensed something unusual in his barrier. He flashed back to Xuanxiao Peak, and immediately a dark figure emerged from Rong Rong's room and disappeared.
Wu Yan's heart was in his throat. He rushed over and only felt relieved to see that Rong Rong was alright before chasing after the dark figure.
"Master!" Qinglin belatedly rushed over from his room.
Wu Yan's voice came from afar, "Protect Rong Rong!"
Qinglin rushed to Rongrong's door and saw that Rongrong was still meditating peacefully. He breathed a sigh of relief.
A wave of fear washed over me. I wondered who could have broken into Xuanxiao Peak without being discovered by my master.
Inside the system space, 666, who was playing a game, only noticed Ye Xun rushing up to it. Now that the person was gone, it scratched its head, unsure whether it should tell the host that someone had been there.
Fearing to disturb Rong Rong's cultivation, and since it seemed there was no serious problem, 666 finally chose to keep quiet.
When Wu Yan returned, Qing Lin was the first to greet him, and immediately smelled a strong stench of blood.
Master is injured?
“It’s a demon!” Wu Yan said with a grim face. “Its cultivation is on par with mine.”
Qinglin's heart skipped a beat.
The only ones whose cultivation level is comparable to his master's are the Demon Lord and a few other Demon Sovereigns.
So, who could that person be?
Remembering what Jin Ling once said, that Rong Rong would save a demon, could it be this person?
Qinglin was worried, but Wuyan comforted him, "Don't worry, the other party was also seriously injured by me and won't be coming again for a while."
"I need to go into seclusion to heal my injuries. Please take good care of Rongrong."
"Don't worry, Master!" Qinglin clasped his hands in a fist salute. He would do his best to protect his junior sister even without his master's permission.
Wu Yan glanced at Qing Lin, and before leaving, he took out a few magical artifacts and handed them to Wu Yan. He also reinforced the barrier before returning to his room to cultivate in seclusion.
The magical artifact he gave Qinglin allowed him to challenge opponents of higher levels, and it also possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities.
Besides helping Qinglin deal with the demons who might come again, these magical artifacts are mainly for preparing Qinglin and Rongrong's journey to the secret realm.
That secret realm only allows cultivators at the Golden Core stage and below to enter. Otherwise, Wu Yan would very much like to personally protect Rong Rong as she enters.
With a sigh of regret, Wu Yan cleared her mind of all distractions and focused on healing.
A few days later, Rong Rong finally ended her seclusion. Her cultivation level had indeed stopped at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from Core Formation.
Qinglin truly lived up to his reputation as an experienced senior disciple, his prediction of Rongrong's digestion of the millennium-old spiritual essence was remarkably accurate.
Rong Rong was somewhat dejected, but Qing Lin gently comforted her, "Junior Sister, don't worry. Once we reach the Guiyuan Secret Realm, Senior Brother will find even better treasures to help you form your Core!"
"Really?" Rong Rong's face was visibly bright, so dazzling that Qing Lin was momentarily dazed.
“Of course,” Qinglin murmured in reply. When he came to his senses again, Rongrong had already been practicing with her sword in the open space for quite a while.
Having leveled up, Rong Rong hadn't yet mastered the moves, so she devoted herself to sword practice. She knew the secret realm was dangerous, and she needed to seize the time to improve herself.
Rong Rong liked to practice her sword in the woods at the bottom of Xuanxiao Peak.
She practiced how to precisely control the sword energy, stirring up fallen leaves or tree petals.
As time went on, Rong Rong's moves and control became increasingly proficient.
She rolled up the petals again, creating a small tornado, and finally let the petals scatter and fall from the sky, which was beautiful and romantic.
Rong Rong looked up at the sea of flowers in the air, pink and white, it was very dreamy.
On the tree next to her, Ye Xun gazed at Rong Rong in the center of the sea of flowers, his heart pounding so hard he couldn't calm down.
Ye Xun was indeed seriously injured, but he did not hide away to heal as Wu Yan had expected. Instead, he stayed on Xuanxiao Peak and silently watched Rong Rong.
The girl, now free from seclusion, was even more vibrant, captivating Ye Xun even more.
Suddenly, Ye Xun remembered the voice he heard that day, which seemed to say that Rong Rong had saved a demon. That person must be him, right?
Ye Xun looked down at himself; his clothes were stained with blood and he was injured. Who else could it be but him who Rong Rong had saved?
A secret joy spread from the bottom of his heart. Seeing that Rong Rong was about to leave after sheathing her sword, Ye Xun hurriedly flew away from the tree trunk and left the place before Rong Rong.
As usual, Rong Rong first sent a message to her senior brother that she was going back, and then followed the path back to the main peak.
Even though I've already entered the world of cultivation, I still feel like I'm being controlled by my parents.
Helpless, Rong Rong quickened her pace.
If she returns late, her senior brother will come looking for her directly.
Just as she was about to take out the flying vehicle, Rong Rong suddenly stopped and tilted her head, looking at the dark figure on the ground in front of her with a puzzled expression.
Is someone lying there?
Rong Rong stepped forward and noticed that the other person was dressed in black, which was clearly not the attire of a member of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.
Moreover, there was blood on the other person, which is...
"Host! This person is also a person of great fortune! He has 10 points!" 666 screamed.
Rong Rong nudged the other person, making them face up so she could see their features, demeanor, and clothing.
"Is this the demon that the original owner saved?"
Rong Rong was startled, and 666 also realized, "That must be it!"
"Does the host want these 10 points?" 666 asked. At this moment, it could also see that this person seemed to be the one who broke into the host's room some time ago.
10 points delivered to your door for free, hehehe!
666 chuckled foolishly, but Rong Rong decisively said, "No!"
"ah?"
"There are so many geniuses out there, why choose trash?" Rong Rong sneered. "This demon has clearly killed a lot of people; he's a villain! I don't want to save him, nor do I want his favor!"
"Then what should we do?" 666 felt that what the host said made sense.
"Kill him!" Without saying a word, Rong Rong stabbed the man in the chest with her sword.
The other person coughed up a mouthful of blood and suddenly opened their eyes.
Those were blood-red eyes, redder than blood, thick and sticky, like the eyes of a demon.
Startled, Rong Rong took a half step back, then suddenly drew her sword and ran away.
In the blink of an eye, Rong Rong disappeared without a trace in her flying vehicle.
Ye Xun clutched his chest, still coughing up blood. Rong Rong had almost killed him just now. If he hadn't used his inner energy to protect his heart at the critical moment, he would be a corpse by now.
"Heh, how ruthless." Ye Xun curled his lips, a wicked glint in his eyes.
A dark mist seemed to swirl around him, and a thick aura of malevolence and demonic energy danced wildly.
The grass beneath Ye Xun withered instantly, and the withering spread rapidly in all directions. In the blink of an eye, all the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees withered and died, leaving a scorched black landscape.
After a long while, Ye Xun finally stopped smiling, and his expressionless face made him look even more terrifying.
"Who said Rong Rong would save me? How dare you deceive me! You deserve to die!" A murderous aura surged forth.
Finally, Ye Xun transformed into black mist and slowly disappeared from the spot.
