Chapter 37 There will be one more puppet
The other side.
Deep in the cave.
A thunderous roar suddenly sounded, and the echo reverberated off the cave walls.
"Sixth-level demon beast!!!" Ye Wange screamed and ran away.
She didn't expect that the passage behind the snake pit was lurking with a sixth-order monster comparable to the late Nascent Soul stage!
Pei Yan had just struggled halfway out of the snake pit.
"Ugh!"
Ye Wange stepped on Pei Yan's shoulder and used the momentum to jump up. Pei Yan was stepped into the pit again and let out a shrill scream: "Ah, why did you step on me again!!!"
Ye Wange was only concerned with escaping, his hair was messy and stuck to the sides of his face, and the way he fled in such a panic made it hard to imagine which sect this master belonged to.
The disciples in the pit were also terrified.
Although the snakes were non-venomous, the tingling sensation of them entwined around them and the excruciating pain of their flesh being bitten made the female disciples so frightened that they turned pale and cried breathlessly.
"Wuwuwu... I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go back to the sect..."
"Hurry...quickly, give me a hand!"
"Don't step on my face, Senior Sister!"
One by one, the disciples staggered out of the snake pit, most of their bodies were bitten to pieces, and several female disciples looked dazed, shaking like leaves in the autumn wind.
A group of people climbed out of the cave in a panic, and the disciples of Qingyue Peak happened to be not far away.
They were gathered around a pile of natural gemstones and sorting them out, laughing and joking.
"I found a Jade Grass, which is the main ingredient for refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill!"
"I still have a few phantom smoke feathers here, they're so beautiful!"
The disciples were laughing and exchanging items with each other politely. Ye Zhao was standing in the middle of the team, handing a spiritual wood that was shining with golden light to Su Luoxue.
Pei Yan looked at Ye Zhao, and his heart seemed to be torn open. Besides shame and anger, he was also filled with complex emotions.
If he hadn't chosen to follow Ye Wange, perhaps at this moment, he could also stand among the group of Qingyue Peak disciples, like them...
Ye Zhao noticed the gaze not far away and looked over.
The disciples behind him saw this scene, exchanged glances with each other, and couldn't help but whisper.
"Isn't that Fairy Ye from Xialing Peak? How did she get into this state?"
"Tsk, our master is really reliable. He helped us find so many good things."
"That's right, Master is the best," someone whispered.
Although these whispers were soft, they were particularly clear in the silent forest.
Ye Wange's teeth were grinding, but she couldn't get angry on the spot, so she could only force a smile.
She took out a few spirit stones from her storage bag and distributed them to the disciples behind her one by one: "You performed well just now. These are your rewards. Take them."
The disciples were originally in shock, but suddenly they found a magical treasure. They were immediately overjoyed and thanked Ye Wange repeatedly.
"Thank you, Master!"
Pei Yan looked at the spirit stone containing the spirit of wind that Ye Wange handed to him, and his expression changed slightly.
He was already full of disappointment in Ye Wange, but at this moment he was slightly shaken.
Maybe she wasn't completely heartless...
He felt a little relieved.
…
"That monster is about to wake up." Ye Zhao looked up at the cave they had just come out of and murmured softly.
"Let's go." She ordered decisively.
"Yes!" The people of Qingyue Peak quickly packed up their spiritual treasures, and the team headed towards the depths in an orderly manner, ready to meet up with other peaks.
When Ye Wange saw the group walking away, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
"Give back everything you took," she said with a cold smile.
"Master, Master?" Pei Yan asked in shock, "Didn't you say that these were rewards for us..."
"Rewards?" Ye Wange scoffed, her eyes sweeping over the disciple with mockery. "Do you deserve them? I just wanted to use these things to test your character, but I didn't expect you to be so greedy!"
After she said that, she directly rolled the spiritual jade from Pei Yan's arms over to him.
Ye Wange sneered: "Hand it over if you know what's best for you. I don't want to have to go through this again."
Seeing this, the other disciples had no choice but to bow their heads and return the spiritual treasures in their hands one by one.
She was their master, and they had no choice but to endure.
Ye Wange collected the magic treasures one by one. She paused and said coldly, "Also, if anyone dares to spread a single word of what happened in the cave today..."
She raised her eyes and said, "Don't blame me for being rude."
"Yes." Everyone responded weakly.
Pei Yan lowered his eyes, clenched his hands into fists, and his palms were scratched by his fingernails.
He smiled self-deprecatingly.
It turns out that the truth behind what I saw in my previous life, Ye Wange distributing spiritual treasures to everyone at Xia Lingfeng, was actually like this!
Ye Wange was deliberately acting in front of the other peaks, trying to show how good her master was. But in fact, she turned her back on them as soon as they left!
What's even more ridiculous is that at that time he actually thought Ye Wange was really generous, so he immediately left Ye Zhao's team and wanted to join Xia Lingfeng.
Fortunately, he got lost at that time, otherwise he would have been harmed by Ye Wange in his previous life!
Pei Yan closed his eyes and suddenly felt a sour feeling rising from his heart.
He still remembered that when he came back that night, Ye Zhao was leading his disciples in anxiously looking for him.
He didn't think much of it at the time, but now, seeing the disciples of Qingyue Peak making great achievements under Ye Zhao's leadership, he suddenly understood a fact.
At that time, Qingyue Peak found nothing. It wasn't Ye Zhao's fault, but because he ran away without permission. They missed many opportunities in the secret realm because they were looking for him...
Pei Yan's throat was dry, and he recalled the scene when the disciples of Qingyue Peak took care of each other in the mountains and forests, and Ye Zhao distributed pills to all the disciples. Then he looked at Shen Wanxin's indifferent and distant face, and a wave of intense regret surged in his heart.
He lowered his head and walked in front of Ye Wange.
"Master." His voice trembled slightly, "I want to leave Xialing Peak."
The disciples who were following around were all stunned when they heard this, and expressions of surprise appeared on their faces, but no one spoke out to dissuade them.
They were all secretly observing, waiting to see how Ye Wange would deal with Pei Yan.
If Pei Yan could leave safely, they would also like to follow suit...
When Ye Wange heard this, her eyes darkened, but in an instant a gentle smile appeared on her face.
She said gently, "Pei Yan, I know you've been wronged recently, but if you leave now, won't you miss out on many opportunities in vain?"
"We are about to reach the center of the secret realm and find the ancient ruins."
Pei Yan pursed his lips and said nothing.
"How about this." Ye Wange suddenly approached and whispered, "Come with me."
She led Pei Yan around the vine forest and into a natural stone cave that very few people had ever set foot in.
The cave was dark and damp, and she had set up a soundproof barrier so outsiders could not see into it at all.
Ye Wange took out a jade slip from her sleeve and handed it to Pei Yan. "I came across this mental method by chance. It's called 'The True Art of Capturing the Spirit'. This mental method is very profound. Once you master it, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation."
