The Heavenly Demon Realm must be opened before it can be accessed.
The sect leader sent a message to all the major sects in the cultivation world, contacting them to discuss a solution together.
After three days and three nights of discussion, it was finally decided that Qin Wan would lead the way, with representatives and disciples from various sects accompanying her to enter the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm to inspect and reinforce the seal of the Demon-Controlling Array.
The plot differs slightly from the one Qin Wan received...
In the Heavenly Demon Realm, Qin Wan swung her sword to slay the swarming demons while mentally calling out to the system with a grim face.
"system."
[We've received the feedback; the plot of this dimension has indeed been tampered with.]
As soon as Qin Wan opened her mouth, the system automatically provided the answer.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan narrowed her eyes slightly.
Someone who can secretly manipulate the plot without her and the system noticing...
Thinking of this, a hint of violence flashed in Qin Wan's eyes.
"Bang!"
A demon that had appeared behind Qin Wan at some unknown time, preparing to ambush her, suddenly exploded, its mangled body scattering everywhere...
"Master, are you alright?"
After Ji Jue killed the demon that was in his way, he rushed to Qin Wan's side and looked at her with a worried expression.
Just a moment ago, Master's eyes and expression changed drastically...
"I am a teacher, and this is not a problem."
After speaking, Qin Wan pulled Ji Jue's hand and swung her sword at the demon behind him.
"My disciple is holding us back." Ji Jue's expression changed.
Qin Wan glanced at him, without blaming or complaining, but earnestly advised, "Concentrate."
"Yes, Master!"
Ling Mubai kept a close eye on Qin Wan's every move.
He already felt that Qin Wan was being too nice to her disciple, Ling Mubai.
The moment he saw Qin Wan reach out and grab Ling Mubai's wrist, a hint of jealousy involuntarily surfaced in Ling Mubai's eyes.
How could she do that?
Just then, a seductive voice appeared in Ling Mubai's mind.
"Kill this unfaithful woman!"
"You've been so good to her, you love her so much, you've waited for her for so many years, how could she bear to betray you?"
"Kill her..."
Kill her...
Kill her...
The voice deep within him kept urging and bewitching him, and the clarity in Ling Mubai's eyes gradually faded...
Qin Wan sensed something was wrong and immediately shielded Ji Jue behind her.
"Senior brother?"
Seeing Ling Mubai, whose eyes were bloodshot and who was attacking them frantically, Qin Wan's expression changed slightly.
Ling Mubai remained silent, his handsome face expressionless as he frantically swung his spirit sword, attacking Qin Wan and Ji Jue.
"It's an inner demon."
Qin Wan, her face grave, fought Ling Mubai on her sword. She turned to look at Ji Jue behind her.
"Stay away from me."
Ji Jue shook her head, "Master, let me help you..."
Even though she knew she was no match for Ling Mubai, Ji Jue never backed down.
Not to mention, since entering the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, Qin Wan has repeatedly protected him.
Therefore, even if he was outmatched, he did not retreat.
"boom!"
"Bang!"
"Clang clang clang!"
The sounds of clashing swords, exploding spiritual energy, and screams of monsters were all mixed together in a chaotic cacophony.
Originally, Ling Mubai still retained a sliver of reason, and each time his sword was about to injure Qin Wan, it would suddenly stop.
But because of Ji Jue's arrival, watching the flirtatious glances between him and Qin Wan, and seeing them protecting each other back and forth, the last trace of clarity in Ling Mubai's eyes faded.
"boom!"
He lost control and unleashed a full-force palm strike, his target clearly locked onto Ji Jue's location.
The powerful palm strike carried intense killing intent...
Ji Jue's pupils trembled slightly. He tried to dodge, but his cultivation was far inferior to Ling Mubai's. The other party's divine sense had already locked onto him, and his body was completely unable to move.
In this situation, Ji Jue could only stand there passively, forced to await the arrival of "death".
At the critical moment...
"Master!!!"
Ji Jue spoke, looking incredulously at Qin Wan after she had painstakingly killed a demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Gritting her teeth, she channeled the last ounce of spiritual energy within her body and flew towards him, blocking his path without the slightest hesitation...
She was so determined, regardless of everything...
"boom!"
"puff!"
The sound of a sharp sword piercing flesh rang out...
Ji Jue's hands trembled, his eyes were red, and he looked incredulously at Qin Wan, who had collapsed weakly into his arms.
"Master..." Ji Jue's thin lips trembled slightly, his voice hoarse.
"...Return to the core of the Demon-Controlling Array, where a sealing array protects it."
Qin Wan opened her mouth and weakly spat out a mouthful of hot blood. After she finished speaking with difficulty, her body collapsed weakly into Ji Jue's arms.
Ji Jue dared not delay, and carried Qin Wan to the location of the array's core.
As for the demons attacking him from all sides, he ignored them all.
When he brought Qin Wan back to the center of the formation, his white robe was stained red with blood. The once intact robe was torn to shreds, turning into countless strips of cloth that fluttered in the air...
"Master, the Restoration Pill..."
Feeling Ji Jue's trembling body, Qin Wan comforted him, "It's just a minor injury, I'm fine."
"As for you, you need to treat the scratch from the demon quickly, otherwise demonic energy may enter your body, and you may be controlled by the demon like your senior brother..."
Ji Jue ignored Qin Wan's instructions and instead looked down to search for the ancient Qiankun Ring on his finger.
Restoration Pill... Restoration Pill...
"Why doesn't Master have any Restoration Pills?"
After searching for a while, Ji Jue looked up at Qin Wan blankly and asked.
Qin Wan pursed her red lips slightly, "I have never taken any pills."
Ji Jue: "..."
As she spoke, under Ji Jue's puzzled gaze, Qin Wan turned pale, gritted her teeth, sat up straight, and forcefully pulled out the natal spirit sword belonging to Ling Mubai from her chest.
As soon as the spirit sword detached from Qin Wan's flesh and blood, it flew out of the array eye with a "whoosh" and headed towards a certain direction of the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
Staring in the direction the spirit sword had left, a crimson glint flashed in Ji Jue's eyes.
Just then, a cool fingertip landed on his brow.
"Enter a meditative state and recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra." Qin Wan's voice, serious yet tinged with worry, reached my ears.
Feeling the soft touch on her forehead, Ji Jue reached out and grabbed Qin Wan's wrist as if possessed.
The moment their skin touched, Qin Wan looked at Ji Jue with a slight start.
Ji Jue also looked up...
Their eyes met...
"Master, please meditate and heal your injuries first." Ji Jue stared intently at her, his face full of determination.
Qin Wan: "..."
"Ji Jue?" Qin Wan sighed softly, her eyes filled with disapproval as she looked at him.
"I will stay by your side until you are safe and well!" Ji Jue said stubbornly.
Qin Wan: "..."
After a brief eye contact, Qin Wan finally gave in.
Under Ji Jue's watchful gaze, she obediently sat down cross-legged and entered a meditative state, circulating her spiritual energy to heal her injuries.
Seeing this, Ji Jue's half-crouched body swayed, and the crimson light in his eyes intensified...
Master...
There was a time when Ji Jue's gaze towards Qin Wan changed, as if something new had appeared...
