Seeing that he wouldn't say anything more, Qiqi didn't try to press him further and obediently nodded, "Okay, I understand!"
Having found a way to deal with the Bloodthirsty Vine, Bai Xuan and Hu Ying quickly cleared away all the vines. Qi Qi's medicine also took effect, and the disciple's injuries gradually stabilized.
"I haven't even asked your name yet? Which sect are you from?" Tiger Eagle, having fought with his last bit of spiritual energy, sat down on the ground exhausted when he arrived, and patted the disciple on the shoulder in a familiar manner.
He used a lot of force. The other person had lost a lot of his life force to the Bloodthirsty Vine and was very weak. He almost vomited blood after being slapped twice.
She clutched her chest and subtly moved to the side, away from his large, fan-like hands.
"My name is Pu Yi, an inner disciple of the Qingxuan Sect. Thank you again for your help. Are you two... your demon servants, young friend?"
Pu Yi looked at Hu Ying and Bai Xuan. Neither of them had a strong demonic aura, and their spiritual power was restrained. They were obviously great demons who had cultivated for at least five hundred years.
How could such a demon willingly follow a little girl? Just who is this little girl?
"A demon servant? Me? Her?" Tiger Eagle laughed in anger. "How could I, the mighty Tiger Eagle King, possibly become a demon servant for a mere brat? You overestimate her and underestimate me!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look down on you two, it's just that..." The two of them looked like they would obey this little girl's every command.
Tiger Eagle snorted through his nose, about to say a few more sarcastic remarks to Pu Yi, when Qi Qi grabbed his arm and pulled him behind her back.
"Brother Pu, don't hold it against Little Tiger. He's not very bright." Qiqi blinked her first pair of innocent eyes. "My name is Qiqi, Little Tiger's name is Tiger Eagle, and Little Snake's name is Bai Xuan. I met them when I entered the secret realm. But Brother Pu, how did you get into this secret realm?"
Pu Yi's face showed fear. "We received news that a secret realm had accidentally appeared in the bamboo forest behind the Tianji Sect, and it seems that demonic energy is spreading from its depths! After discussion, the eight major sects decided to each send several teams to investigate. Our Qingxuan Sect sent three teams this time, but two teams have already been completely wiped out! Only our team escaped, but..."
He choked up and couldn't continue.
Qiqi exchanged a solemn look with Bai Xuan and Hu Ying.
"Tell me the details, what exactly happened?" Bai Xuan asked in a deep voice.
Pu Yi calmed himself down before continuing, "Three days ago, we received a message from the sect saying that energy fluctuations had appeared in the dense forest behind the long-destroyed Tianji Sect, as if a secret realm had descended. The sect sent us to investigate, and we discovered... that the forbidden area deep within the dense forest behind the Tianji Sect was somehow connected to the Boundless Land, and that the spiritual energy of the Tianji Sect had damaged the seal of the Boundless Land, causing demonic energy to leak out. The eight major sects took this matter very seriously, so they sent their elite disciples to try to cleanse the demonic energy and reinforce the seal."
"How could the forbidden area of the Heavenly Mystery Sect be connected to the Land of No Return?" Bai Xuan frowned.
Upon hearing this, Qiqi's brow twitched. "Little snake, do you know about the Heavenly Mystery Sect?"
Bai Xuan nodded, a hint of pain flashing deep in his vertical pupils.
“Yes, there is an elder in my clan who was once the demon servant of Xingyu, an inner disciple of the Tianji Sect.”
Qi Qi's pupils contracted. Bai Xuan's elder was actually the thirteenth junior brother's demon servant?
She still remembered that she had personally helped her thirteenth junior brother capture his demon servant.
It was a snake that was entirely silver-white and very beautiful.
She has a bad temper and is quite arrogant, but her thirteenth junior brother spoils her a lot. He gives her whatever she wants, and even asked her for a lot of pills to enhance her spiritual power.
Qiqi really wanted to ask Bai Xuan what happened to his elder afterwards.
But judging from the pain in his eyes, the outcome probably won't be good.
Qiqi clenched her fingers, suppressing her urge to speak.
“We don’t know either. Maybe…maybe the resentment of the Heavenly Mystery Sect is too strong, and it resonated with the demonic energy of the Land of No Return, so…!” Pu Yi’s voice trembled.
Qiqi: "That's impossible! According to you, the Heavenly Mystery Sect is also one of the immortal sects in the cultivation world. How could its resentment be so strong that it resonates with the demonic energy of the Demon Clan's sealed land?"
Pu Yi opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Bai Xuan, upon hearing this, snorted coldly, "Because some self-proclaimed righteous sects took advantage of the turmoil within the Tianji Sect, using the pretext that they were as powerful as the demon race and no different from evil cultivators, and therefore unworthy of being among the immortal sects. So they joined forces to attack and destroy the Tianji Sect. The members of the Tianji Sect died with their eyes wide open in disbelief; how could their resentment not be deep?!"
Upon hearing this, Pu Yi trembled and tried to defend his sect.
"Humans and demons are different. Cultivators should slay demons and protect the righteous path, but they have taken in demon servants and befriended demons. It is understandable that the eight major sects are worried!"
"Reason and righteousness?!" Bai Xuan suddenly flew into a rage, his vertical pupils widening slightly, revealing a cold and resentful gaze. "Do you know how many lives you've lost because of your mere words of reason and righteousness?! The demon servants of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, hand in hand with their masters, have solved countless problems for the human world. Yet you, because of a little suspicion, slaughtered them all! Compared to the people of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, you are more like demonic cultivators!"
His demonic aura was rampant and fierce, almost materializing and tearing Pu Yi to shreds.
"Little snake..." Qi Qi cast a calming spell on Bai Xuan, "Contain your aura, or you will fall into the demonic path."
"If it can avenge my elders, what does it matter if I fall into the demonic path?!" Bai Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, his intense hatred surging.
In that instant, Qiqi saw in his eyes the traces of a face that clearly distinguished between love and hate, and was unrestrained and flamboyant.
She almost blurted out, "Bai Xuan, what is your relationship with Chen Ling?"
Bai Xuan's expression froze, his gaze locking onto Qi Qi. "How do you know this name? Who exactly are you?"
"Who I am is none of your concern. As for your relationship with Shen Ling, I'll ask you about that after we get out of here. Now..."
Qiqi turned to look at Pu Yi, her beautiful face now serious and solemn. "Tell me, what's the situation now?"
Bai Xuan's words just now made Pu Yi even more wary.
He never expected that among those who saved him, there would be someone connected to the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
Faced with Qiqi's question, he didn't want to answer, but when he met her eyes, he found that he couldn't bring himself to refuse or hide anything.
"We underestimated the impact of demonic energy on the creatures in the secret realm. Many animals and plants here have been corrupted and are attacking us. These Blood-Eating Vines are just one example..."
Qi Qi frowned and asked, "Why did the seal suddenly develop cracks? Is it really caused by the resentment of the Heavenly Mystery Sect?"
