Chapter 91: Even the Saint was captured, and the crowd was excited
Ling Zhuyun has been familiar with various scriptures since childhood and has a wide range of knowledge, including some medical classics.
When she saw Jiang Lan's strange behavior just now, she still found it hard to believe.
After all, heart-eating disease is indeed rare, and the number of recorded occurrences from ancient times to the present is only a handful.
But when she saw the horrible pain Jiang Lan was in when the illness attacked, she was finally sure that it was undoubtedly heart-eating disease. For the first time, she was at a loss and had no idea how to help Jiang Lan get relief.
After all, just watching the scene when the disease breaks out is enough to make people's hair stand on end.
If this happened to her, she knew she couldn't remain silent like Jiang Lan did.
She admired this kind of perseverance and put aside her previous prejudices.
Of course, the most important point is that the solution to the heart-eating disease she knows is to swallow the heart blood of a monk every day, which will cure it in a few years.
Judging from Jiang Lan's current condition, his illness has definitely lasted for far more than a few years.
That is to say, during this period of time, Jiang Lan had been suffering from this illness.
No wonder he was so calm when facing assassinations and dangers. How could ordinary people match his great will and mentality? What Ling Zhuyun admired most was that with the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was easy to cure the heart-eating disease.
But Jiang Lan would rather endure such a long period of pain and suffering.
Such a person, even if he is as bad as the rumors say, can't be that bad.
"It is not necessary to help me obtain the inheritance of Master Zixia."
"I have my own way."
"But if you want to help me, you might as well help me kill that guy named Ye."
In response to Ling Zhuyun's words, Jiang Lan just spoke casually, with a calm expression on his face.
"I..." Ling Zhuyun paused.
Jiang Lan raised the corner of his mouth, smiling as if he was not surprised, looked at her and said, "In that case, Saint Zhu Yun, please put away your pity and guilt towards me."
"I've made it very clear. I will help you because we are now in the same boat. If you die, I will not be able to live."
"So, you don't have to feel any remorse."
Hearing these calm words, Ling Zhuyun's shiny red lips slightly opened under her veil, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Especially when she looked at Jiang Lan's calm expression, she didn't know why, but at this moment she always felt very uncomfortable and had a feeling that the emotions that were pent up in her heart could not be vented.
After so many years of practice, this was the first time she encountered such a situation and she didn't know how to deal with it.
At the tea-making meeting, Jiang Lan knew that Ye Ming was an assassin, but out of consideration for her face, he did not expose her lie in public.
Obviously, at that time, the two had never met each other.
When encountering this kind of thing today, it was Jiang Lan who risked his life to protect her and bought time for her, thus saving her life.
If I hadn't accidentally learned today that he had been suffering from an unknown illness that had been hidden for many years, I would probably still be full of prejudice against him and stubbornly suspect that he had other intentions towards me.
This feeling of feeling guilty but not knowing how to make up for it made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Brother Ye and I have a close relationship, and he has helped me a lot. I can't possibly repay kindness with evil and attack him." After thinking for a while, Ling Zhuyun said softly, looking at Jiang Lan with slightly misty eyes.
"I understand, so I was just saying it casually just now." Jiang Lan said.
Ling Zhuyun felt more and more uncomfortable when she saw his expression which was as calm as water and without any fluctuation.
Obviously, before this, he still had the mind to tease me.
"Mr. Jiang, the hatred between you and Brother Ye should not be unresolvable. I think I can help you turn hostility into friendship..." Ling Zhuyun tried to speak, trying to resolve the grudge between the two.
Jiang Lan waved his hand, interrupting her, and said calmly, "No need."
"I know you, Saint Zhuyun, have a deep prejudice against me, but why do you have to humiliate me like this? That guy stabbed me in public at Zuixianju. If I hadn't had so many experts around me, I would have died at his hands."
"In the Zixia Mountains, he captured me and threw me into a remote area, leaving me to fend for myself. I was attacked and killed by mountain spirits and wild monsters. I didn't mention that guy's name before because I was concerned about your reputation, Saint Zhuyun."
"Do you really think I don't know who wants to kill me?"
"Even if I don't know, don't you know it in your heart?"
"For this guy who has tried to kill me time and time again, you tell me now that the hatred between him and I is not irreconcilable?"
"Does Saint Zhu Yun think that I am too kind, or do you think that this is just as it should be?"
His words were very calm and his tone was not hurried, as if he was just stating a simple fact.
But this left Ling Zhuyun speechless and she remained silent, not knowing how to answer.
Especially Jiang Lan's last few words, which made her pretty face turn slightly pale.
Yes, what right did she have to ask Jiang Lan to let go of his hatred, and what qualifications did she have to say these words to him.
She had clearly guessed in her mind that Ye Ming wanted to kill Jiang Lan, but because of their relationship, she pretended not to know.
"sorry……"
Ling Zhuyun stared at Jiang Lan in a daze, feeling uncomfortable in her heart. She was silent for a long while, and finally could only open her red lips slightly and utter these three words.
Jiang Lan looked at her in surprise.
After a moment, he said indifferently, "No need to apologize. If you really feel sorry for me, then go and kill that Ye guy."
"If you can't do it, don't say such things anymore. You haven't done anything wrong to me, so why do you have to act like you want to make it up to me?"
Ling Zhuyun was stunned.
There was another long silence.
Jiang Lan sensed the good fortune surging into the Niwan Palace and was not surprised by it.
It has always been a woman's nature to imagine things at will, and even Ling Zhuyun, the Holy Maiden of the Yao Chi Sect, is no exception.
Although the original plot changed due to Lin Fan's death, and even caused Ling Zhuyun and Ye Ming to interact, Ling Zhuyun's character did not change at all.
If you want to grasp her, you have to start with her personality and the environment she has lived in since childhood.
He grew up in the Yao Chi Sect and was placed with high hopes by his master, who instilled in him various concepts. From childhood to adulthood, he has been spotless and holy.
She represents not only herself, but also the huge Yao Chi Sect behind her.
So she traveled outside, helping the people, upholding justice, and making a name for herself for the Yao Chi Sect.
She even regarded Yao Chi Sect as more important than her own life.
Because of her admiration for Ye Ming, she made an exception and lied for him for the first time, in front of the younger generation of various immortal sects. This also became her biggest psychological flaw.
Deep down, she was actually afraid that Jiang Lan would use this to threaten her, but Jiang Lan did not do so.
What he wanted from the beginning to the end was Ling Zhuyun's heart. Otherwise, with his current strength, it would be so easy for him to get her.
"Mr. Jiang, if we delay any longer, the inheritance of True Lord Zixia's cave residence might be taken away by someone else." Ling Zhuyun suddenly spoke, looking at Jiang Lan with her autumn-water eyes.
"It doesn't matter. Meng Ning will come to see me soon." Jiang Lan said.
Ling Zhuyun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Master Jiang, do you think I'm a burden?"
"Not really. I'm just worried that if that guy named Ye sees you and me together, he might want to kill me again." Jiang Lan said.
“…”
Ling Zhuyun took a deep breath to calm herself down, and said, "Mr. Jiang, you are so naive now. Brother Ye and I are not in the relationship you think."
Seeing that Jiang Lan was not moved at all.
Ling Zhuyun stretched out her slender jade hand, rubbed her brow, and said, "If he dares to attack you, I will protect you."
Hearing this, Jiang Lan continued to sit there calmly, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.
"Mr. Jiang, you'd better listen to me now. You don't want others to know your secret, right?"
Ling Zhuyun seemed to sigh inwardly, and then deliberately put on a fierce look and said threateningly.
But this look on her face seemed a little indescribably strange.
Jiang Lan seemed to be almost amused by her and asked, "Are you sure you are not afraid of the intimacy between men and women?"
"After I fainted, wasn't it you, Master Jiang, who carried me into the cave?"
“That’s right…”
After a moment, Jiang Lan began to enjoy the warmth and softness of jade, which was as soft and delicate as a light feather.
Through the snow-white dress, you can vaguely see her snow-white and crystal skin. Her neck is long and white, as perfect as a white swan.
He only felt an extremely pleasant fragrance lingering in his nose, which made him want to bury his head in it.
But at this moment, Ling Zhuyun was a little stiff, and her ears were hot and red.
It sounds simple, but when you actually do it, you will realize how bold and extraordinary this move is.
Excluding the time when she fainted just now, she has never had any physical contact with the opposite sex in her life.
Especially, she could feel the hot breath of Jiang Lan on her snow-white neck, which made her feel confused and she had the urge to throw him down subconsciously.
"Mr. Jiang...Mr. Jiang, please don't do anything weird..." She forced herself to calm down.
"good."
Jiang Lan's words rang in her crystal clear ears, causing her flawless face to turn red in an instant.
The slender jade hands couldn't help but clench, and then loosen.
After leaving the cave, Ling Zhuyun took Jiang Lan and headed towards the direction of the cave where Master Zixia was born.
However, on the way, he deliberately avoided other monks, as if he was afraid of being seen by others.
Jiang Lan talked to her intermittently.
"Am I the first one to see your true face?"
"As for the man, it is indeed..."
"It seems that I took the virginity of Saint Zhu Yun."
"..." Ling Zhuyun still felt that it would be better to leave him in the cave and wait for Li Mengning to rescue him.
"Is it true that the Saint Daughter of Yao Chi Sect cannot marry? I have heard some rumors. How about I ask my father to propose marriage in person some other day?"
“…”
Ling Zhuyun discovered one of his hobbies, which was to tease her and see her show an embarrassed and angry expression.
So later when I heard Jiang Lan say this, I pretended not to hear it.
Jiang Lan was making himself look awkward and could only sigh with pretended regret.
Ling Zhuyun's red lips were slightly raised under her veil. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable ease when interacting with Jiang Lan.
There is no need to be as careful about one's words and actions as before, for fear of bringing bad influence to the Yao Chi Sect.
This casual and relaxed feeling was something she had never experienced before.
Jiang Lan didn't care about her identity as the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi Sect. He didn't have the same respect and awe as others. Instead, he kept trying to tease her, wanting to see the contrast between her and her holiness.
Ling Zhuyun felt that perhaps Jiang Lan had already known about her unusual lie, so there was no need for her to deliberately maintain that holy and transcendent image.
This relaxed feeling made her feel comfortable for no reason.
Jiang Lan felt the rapidly increasing fortune in the Niwan Palace and could only sigh inwardly.
This saint girl is too naive and easy to fool. Even if there are a few more of her together, they still can't be as cunning as Chu Chan.
No wonder in the original plot, Chu Chan would take away her position as the leader of the Yao Chi Sect.
Whether it's Li Mengning or Ling Zhuyun, they are both the kind of people who have very few brains.
A guy like Ye Ming, who appears to be serious on the surface but does as many evil things as Ye Ming in secret, would also be regarded by Ling Zhuyun as a broad-minded and upright person.
On the contrary, people like me, who are cannon fodder for villains but have a heart towards light and abide by the law, are often misunderstood with prejudice.
This world is unfair.
…
When rushing to the entrance of the secret realm, Ling Zhuyun would also take the initiative to ask Jiang Lan some questions, but most of them were about Chu Chan.
She admired Chu Chan very much and thought that Chu Chan would become the backbone of Yao Chi Sect in the future, so she also wanted to know how Chu Chan was doing with Jiang Lan.
When talking about Chu Chan, it was inevitable to talk about the reason why Ye Ming assassinated Jiang Lan.
Ling Zhuyun also explained to Jiang Lan what she had learned.
"Don't throw all the blame on me. I never forced her from the beginning to the end."
“Come to think of it, she was forcibly pushed out of Zuixianju that day by the disciples of your Yaochi Sect…”
"As the Saintess of Yao Chi Sect, you don't even know that your disciples have been bullied. Chu Chan cried beside me all night that day, complaining about how she had been bullied in Yao Chi Sect for many years. It was heartbreaking and tearful to hear."
"As for whether these things are true or not, you will know when you go back to investigate. I will not admit that you are throwing your own shit on me."
Jiang Lan naturally responded with righteous indignation, saying that he was completely innocent.
At this moment, Ling Zhuyun had the urge to throw him off her.
"Then why did you forcibly snatch my Yao Chi Sect disciple in front of everyone?" she asked.
"I just wanted to test Zhao Dieyi. Who knew she would be so patient and treat Chu Chan as an abandoned pawn." Jiang Lan also reached out and rubbed his brow.
"You said there's something wrong with Zhao Dieyi?"
"It's just a guess. When the assassin Lin Fan was captured in Yuyi City, her grandfather Zhao Tianhe showed up to rescue him. It's such a coincidence that a great scholar with the strength of the seventh realm appeared in Yuyi City."
"If I don't suspect her, who should I suspect?" Jiang Lan said without changing his expression, clearing himself of all charges.
After hearing this explanation, Ling Zhuyun was silent for a long time before she gradually understood.
So this is what happened that day.
The assassin Lin Fan was a remnant of the Blood Immortal Sect, and a great scholar was willing to risk offending the Prime Minister's Mansion and try to rescue him.
There is no doubt about this.
At that time, Ye Ming suddenly appeared and assassinated Jiang Lan. No wonder Jiang Lan always regarded Ye Ming as a remnant of the Blood Immortal Sect.
If it were her, she would inevitably doubt and overthink that.
"I……"
Thinking of this, Ling Zhuyun's expression became more complicated.
"You what?" Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow.
"I really didn't expect that you, Mr. Jiang, would consider so much. I always treated you as a real playboy..." Ling Zhuyun said guiltily.
"I am indeed a second-generation rich kid." Jiang Lan admitted.
"No, you're not." Ling Zhuyun shook her head.
At this moment, she seemed to suddenly understand Chu Chan.
Why does she look so determined to follow Jiang Lan?
Ling Zhuyun initially thought that Chu Chan was forced, but now it seems that she was most likely doing it voluntarily. She knew whether Yao Chi Sect was better to her or Jiang Lan was better to her.
…
In the secret realm, the sounds of fighting were extremely chaotic.
Around that Taoist temple, brilliant rays of divine light broke through the air, various magical instruments rose up, powerful runes flashed, the divine power was strong, the light was colorful, and it shook the sky.
People from all sides started a melee there. For every magic weapon, dozens of people fought for it, and they fought with bloodshot eyes.
In other areas, the guarding monsters appeared, roared with their heads raised, and the mountains rumbled like a major earthquake.
The powerful force caused all the cultivators' blood to boil and they vomited blood continuously. Some even died here, with blood splattering in the sky.
Despite this, it was impossible to extinguish the people's burning greed.
People die for money and birds die for food. Faced with the temptation of chance and fate, no one will step back even if their life is in danger.
Faced with the powerful monster, no one retreated. Soon a large group of monks rushed forward, worked together to sacrifice various weapons, and displayed magical powers, and finally killed the monster king.
Later, some people discovered that in the areas guarded by each demon king, there were valuable treasures, either classics and scriptures or elixirs and magical weapons, all of which were extremely precious.
To the extent that, deep in those medicine gardens, there is an ancient medicine garden guarded by several monsters. It is filled with mist, with the faint scent of array patterns and talismans flashing by, and the rich aroma of various medicines.
Many monks received the news, abandoned their other magical weapons, and rushed to the ancient medicine garden.
A chaotic battle took place there, blood splattered in the sky, many corpses fell, and a strong man's eyes turned red, and he sacrificed an extremely powerful weapon, sweeping across a large area.
At this time, deep in the ancient medicine garden, the light mist was becoming more and more brilliant, and the vision was even more astonishing.
It was hazy there, with thousands of auspicious colors and brilliant rays of light, as if it was a glowing fairyland.
Many people were shocked and looked over at the same time. Even the monks who were fighting each other couldn't help but stop for a moment, their eyes widened.
Cry...
A clear phoenix cry suddenly sounded, and the sky was filled with colorful fairy clouds, like a thick fog, surging and rising there, incomparably dazzling.
A fairy phoenix spread its wings and flew out, with dazzling colorful fairy light flowing from every feather, and wisps of mist and haze lingering around, as if it had evolved in fairyland.
It was too real, with arrogant eyes and a sense of dignity all over its body. It looked down on all living things, and as it spread its wings, flames shot up into the sky, submerging half of the sky.
At this moment, everyone felt an amazing sense of immortality, as if they were floating in the air and returning to heaven, and all their pores relaxed.
The phantom of the fairy phoenix, shrouded in flames, flew out from the ancient medicine garden and spread its wings.
Flames poured down, and all the monsters trembled under its pressure.
“A peerless elixir…”
There were some older generations who cried out in shock, their eyes red and burning, staring intently at the phantom of the Immortal Phoenix, shaking with excitement all over.
Many people also noticed that it was just a phantom of a fairy phoenix.
A true divine object is like a ball of mist wrapped in haze, just like liquid medicine, shaped like fairy water, crystal clear and colorful, as if the wonders of all worlds' glass are evolving in it.
Despite the long distance, one can still feel the rich and abundant vitality, as if it were the legendary elixir of immortality that can bring the dead back to life and give the living eternal life.
This scene drove all the cultivators who had rushed to the secret realm crazy. Their eyes turned red and burning as they hurriedly chased after the phantom of the Immortal Phoenix.
However, the surrounding area was filled with mist, and many rocks were shrouded in blue mist, with a holy aura spreading.
Monster beasts in charge of guarding the ancient medicinal field rushed out, there was a divine ape surrounded by fire, and there was also a hill figure shaped like a giant elephant. Every step forward made the mountains rumble and tremble.
These monsters went crazy and trampled on the monks who were rushing towards them, trying to stop them.
Hence, all the cultivators could only watch as the phantom of the Immortal Phoenix sank into the deepest part of the Taoist temple. All the flames disappeared quickly.
Fortunately, there are many ancient medicinal herbs growing in the nearby medicinal fields, which are coiled around the ancient trees like vines.
There are also some medicinal herbs, surrounded by the rosy glow, and their branches and leaves alone look extraordinary.
The monks could only focus their attention on the medicinal herbs, and soon a fierce battle began again.
"Damn it, I'm still late..."
With the guidance of Lao Gui, Ye Ming rushed to this ancient medicinal field early and mingled with the crowd.
It's a pity that I still couldn't get the phantom of the fairy phoenix. I could only watch it sink into the depths and disappear, feeling extremely sad and regretful.
Through the old ghost's explanation, he knew that the most important thing in Zixia Zhenjun's inheritance cave was a rare treasure in heaven and earth that he had accidentally obtained, called the Immortal Embryo Creation Dew.
It is said that it is the essence condensed from the Nirvana and rebirth of the Immortal Phoenix Clan after death, and contains the most profound Nirvana and rebirth technique of the Immortal Phoenix Clan. It was obtained by True Lord Zixia from the Kunlun Immortal Ruins by chance.
Even just a drop can enable an ordinary mortal body to go against its innate nature and reshape into the bones of an immortal. It is the best thing for ordinary people to change their destiny.
Ye Ming has average qualifications, and he has come this far and has his current strength thanks to many opportunities and luck.
This immortal fetus creation dew was the most coveted wonder of heaven and earth that he had ever dreamed of. It could give him a flawless foundation for an immortal fetus and make his aptitude surpass that of all the geniuses from the major sects.
If he could obtain the Immortal Fetus Creation Dew, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds.
"The Immortal Fetus Creation Dew has already acquired a certain spirituality. It is still in this secret realm. You don't have to worry. There are plenty of opportunities to find it."
The old ghost's voice calmed Ye Ming's anxious mood.
"Little thief, hand over the alchemy furnace and I will spare your life."
At this moment, a roar was heard.
A cold figure in a purple Taoist robe came rushing towards him, causing Ye Ming's face to change and he quickly dodged to the side.
However, a purple talisman light still fell, like a stream of fire, carrying a terrifying aura, knocking away all the monks around, causing them to vomit blood and fall to the ground.
"Why is this old Taoist so haunting? Isn't it just an alchemy furnace? Is it that serious?"
"But he is so persistent in pursuing me, which means that the alchemy furnace must be something extraordinary."
Ye Ming did not expect that this old Taoist had been chasing him for so long and had not given up until now, all the way from the side hall to this ancient medicinal field.
He gritted his teeth and planned to escape again. This old Taoist's strength was far beyond the fifth realm. He suppressed his cultivation and came here, but it was enough to make him invincible and no one could match him.
Ye Ming didn't want to waste time getting entangled with him, but he didn't expect that the old Taoist would chase him relentlessly.
“That purple alchemy furnace should have been used by True Lord Zixia. There are divine marks of alchemy left in it. If you comprehend it thoroughly, your attainments in alchemy will advance by leaps and bounds.”
“Not to mention that the material of the alchemy furnace is very extraordinary and difficult to destroy. There are many divine patterns imprinted inside, and it contains a strange fire that can be used to fight the enemy at a critical moment.”
"So do you think he will let you go?" The old ghost smiled faintly.
"The treasures of heaven and earth belong to the virtuous. He was not paying attention to his aura and was only concerned with breaking the formation. It is only natural that I took away the alchemy furnace."
Ye Ming snorted in his heart and didn't care.
At that time, he concealed his breath and used the fluctuations of the formation here to cover his body.
When Taoist Zixia was concentrating on breaking the formation, he hid aside, and when he succeeded and wanted to take the treasure, he took the lead and snatched the alchemy furnace away.
He was very familiar with this process and had used it countless times, and he always succeeded.
It was precisely because of this that Taoist Zixia came to hunt him down.
"Hand over the alchemy furnace to me."
Taoist Zixia shouted angrily, quickly chased after him, stared at Ye Ming with murderous intent in his eyes.
Ye Ming ignored him and rushed into the ancient medicine garden.
Seeing this, Taoist Zixia became even more angry and attacked again. His terrifying power shocked everyone in all directions.
He took out a green scimitar, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a ray of strange light, flashing green light and shining brightly, rushing towards Ye Ming.
The scimitar swept across, and the light exploded, like a series of crescent moons, containing terrifying murderous intent, which made it impossible for many monks to dodge, and they turned into blood mist while screaming.
Ye Ming was well aware of Taoist Zixia's power, so he did not confront him head-on, but rushed towards a monkey not far away.
Its fur was covered with a glowing fire, its eyes were like lightning, and it looked like Thunder God. It held a Hunyuan Ruyi Stick in its hand, looking around with a ferocious and majestic look.
Seeing Ye Ming leading the enemy towards him, a hint of human anger appeared in his eyes, and he swung the stick at Ye Ming.
However, Ye Ming had already expected this. His figure flashed along the way and he used a secret technique to appear in another direction, causing the monkey's attack to directly collide with Taoist Zixia's knife.
"Haha, how stupid..."
Ye Ming sneered in his heart, and his figure disappeared into the distance again. There was no clue about the immortal fetus' fortune at the moment, so the most urgent thing was to find the cave where Master Zixia practiced and meditated. His true fortune inheritance was hidden in it.
"Little thief named Ye, remember this, I will not be a human being if I don't kill you."
When Taoist Zixia saw that she was stopped and Ye Ming continued to escape, her anger and murderous intent became even stronger.
He expended all his energy to break the formation, hoping to seize the most important furnace in the alchemy room, but who knew that at the critical moment, it was intercepted and snatched away by Ye Ming, which almost made him explode with anger.
Combined with the series of events that happened outside the secret realm, he was certain that Ye Ming had known of his existence for a long time and that was why he deliberately followed him and competed with him for opportunities.
Seeing this, the monkey knew that Taoist Zixia was difficult to deal with and also understood that he was being used, so he did not fight with Taoist Zixia, but turned around and left to stop the other monks who were destroying the ancient medicine field.
Taoist Zixia also ignored it and chased after Ye Ming in the direction he fled.
Not long after Taoist Zixia started chasing, several cultivators looked at each other near the ancient medicinal field, unable to hide their surprise and admiration.
"That person just now should be the Senior Brother Ye Ming that the senior mentioned, right?"
"He is indeed extremely ferocious. Not only did he snatch the alchemy furnace from the old Taoist in purple robe, he also provoked the demon king here, causing a fierce battle between the two."
“That old Taoist in purple robe is extremely powerful outside the secret realm. Even if several sixth-realm masters join forces, it is difficult to take him down.”
"But Brother Ye Ming was able to escape time and again, and even snatch food from the tiger's mouth. He really deserves to be the core seed of my Holy Religion..."
As they talked, their words were full of admiration for Ye Ming. Then, as if they had noticed something, their faces became serious and alert, and they quickly turned into divine rainbows and flew away.
Not long after they left, a handsome man in golden armor came over with a group of his men. However, his face did not look very good.
It was Xia Jie, the third son of Prince Wuxuan.
Beside him was Qi Heng, a true disciple of the Human King Palace who looked pale and weak.
Zhu Huang, a true disciple of Tianyan Sect, also came here with several fellow disciples.
"It seems that Han Yiming, She Mou, Cai Yun and the others are in danger. It has been so long and they still haven't reunited with us."
"Brother Qi Heng is lucky to be able to survive and save his life."
"At that time, I suspected that there was something wrong with that guy surnamed Ye. Now it seems that he was the one who deliberately spread and leaked the news about this place."
Zhu Huang sighed softly, his expression no longer as calm as before, but instead extremely heavy.
Qi Heng had an ugly look on his face as he stared at the figures that had just disappeared. He wanted to chase after them and avenge his fellow disciples, but now he could only endure it.
Among all the disciples of the Human King Palace, he was the only one who survived.
But he was also seriously injured, and it would be almost impossible for him to recover to his peak form in the future.
After arriving at the secret realm, he immediately contacted Han Yiming, She Mou, Cai Yun and others, but without exception, he received no response.
In the end, only Xia Jie and Zhu Huang responded and came to reunite with them, telling them the whole story of how they were attacked by the Human-Faced Flag and seriously injured by the mysterious man.
At this point, he couldn't help but guess that Han Yiming and others had been attacked just like him, but without his good luck, they might have been buried in the Zixia Mountains.
After arriving in the secret realm, they fought for opportunities and encountered many cultivators one after another.
The abnormalities of several of the monks caught their attention.
As a true disciple of the Tianyan Sect, Zhu Huang is good at deduction, so judging from the aura of those cultivators, he thinks they may be related to the Blood Immortal Sect.
So they concealed their breath and followed carefully all the way, trying to find out his conspiracy.
I never thought that after hearing such words just now, combined with the cause and effect of the matter, I guessed the truth.
"The Blood Immortal Cult is extremely rampant. They deliberately set up a trap here to lure us in first, and then used a large formation to kill us and capture us all in one fell swoop. And Ye Ming is a member of the Blood Immortal Cult."
"Ling Zhuyun brought him along and mixed in with us, yet no one noticed his true identity."
"Ling Zhuyun is the Saintess of Yaochi Sect, but she is so partial to that guy. Maybe she has already defected to the Blood Fairy Sect and deliberately killed us. It's really abominable..."
Even though Qi Heng admired Ling Zhuyun and had always pursued her, his face looked ugly at this moment, and his heart was filled with extreme anger and coldness.
"Since the Blood Immortal Cult has dropped bait and set up such a large formation, there is absolutely no way they will let us go so easily. Even if we take advantage of the opportunity here, we won't be able to get out alive."
"The most urgent task is to make the Blood Immortal Cult's conspiracy public, gather everyone's strength and deal with it together, only then will there be a chance of escaping."
The few of them quickly discussed and decided on a countermeasure. Even though the ancient medicine garden ahead was filled with the fragrance of spiritual herbs and the aroma of medicine, they resolutely chose to give up.
Then he changed direction and headed towards the main hall of the dojo.
The intervention of the Blood Immortal Cult forced all their previous plans to be changed.
In the secret realm, even sending a message to the master behind you will be of no avail.
The formation covering Zixia Mountain is not just for show. It will take a lot of time to break it.
By that time, the flowers will be cold and they may not even be able to find their bodies.
…
When Ling Zhuyun brought Jiang Lan to the secret realm, Jiang Lan informed Li Daoyi and others of his location through the communication jade talisman.
In the secret realm, unlike the formation outside Zixia Mountain, communication was impossible, so it didn't take long for Li Daoyi, Ao Xu, Luo Ying and others to rush over and gather with him.
Jiang Lan casually explained the whole story and mentioned that he was accidentally rescued by Ling Zhuyun.
Ling Zhuyun had already reached a consensus with him, and their statements were consistent without any flaws.
Li Daoyi, Ao Xu and others were naturally very grateful for this, but they were also very scared. If Ling Zhuyun had not appeared, Jiang Lan might have really died here.
Naturally, they hated the person who took Jiang Lan away during the chaos. They also wondered in their hearts who it could be, and soon they had a definite target.
But because Ling Zhuyun was there, it was not easy to say it directly.
Li Mengning finally rushed over, and was relieved to see that Jiang Lan was fine.
Ling Zhuyun also took this opportunity to take a good look at Li Mengning. She was full of curiosity about this quasi-saint girl of Taiyi Sect.
However, Li Mengning didn't care about her at all. Seeing that Jiang Lan looked like she was sick, she was very worried.
"I'll kill him later." She spoke briefly and without much explanation. There was a strong murderous intent in her clear eyes.
She didn't say who that "he" was, but everyone could guess who she was talking about.
"No need. If it's really him, you don't need to do anything."
Jiang Lan reached out and held her cold and soft little hand.
Li Mengning wanted to say something, but seeing his expression, she stopped talking immediately. She obediently let him hold her hand and followed him.
Ling Zhuyun was surprised.
From what she had learned, Li Mengning, the quasi-saint of the Taiyi Sect, was a person as cold as an ice sculpture. She was unkind, serious, and didn't like to talk.
When facing an enemy, he would just draw his sword and put it away without saying a single word.
Almost everyone who saw her take action died.
But in front of Jiang Lan, Li Mengning was as well-behaved as a little wife.
When I rushed over just now, I was worried that he was injured, and those clear eyes were filled with overflowing emotions.
The fact that a woman as talented and powerful as Li Mengning could be treated like this further confirmed her previous guess.
There was chaos in the secret realm.
When Jiang Lan and others arrived at the place where the Taoist temple was located, there were scenes of fighting and struggle everywhere. Some palaces and pavilions had been destroyed and collapsed into ruins.
In the blink of an eye, many figures were fighting in mid-air, fighting for one or two magical weapons. There were many corpses lying on the ground, blood splattered everywhere, the tragic scene was horrifying.
Ling Zhuyun tried to contact the disciples of Yao Chi Sect using the communication jade talisman, but there was no response, which made her feel worried and uneasy.
In fact, when she first entered the secret realm, she used the communication jade talisman to contact Yao Chi Sect disciples Zhao Dieyi, Chu Chan, Chen Ning and others, but no one responded to her.
This made her heart sink, thinking that something must have happened to them.
Either he is still outside the secret realm, trapped in some formation and unable to receive communication.
She could only hope for the second possibility.
When Jiang Lan and others arrived at the Taoist temple, they passed through many pavilions and palaces, intending to explore deeper.
From a majestic hall in front of us, there came an angry roar.
"Ling Zhuyun, the Saintess of Yaochi Sect, colluded with the people of Blood Fairy Sect and deliberately spread the news that Master Zixia's cave abode was born, attracting the forces of various sects, intending to catch us all in one fell swoop."
"The people of the Blood Immortal Cult have already set up a blood sacrifice formation here. All of us will become food for the blood sacrifice."
"If you don't want to die, don't waste your energy fighting for opportunities. Think about how to escape."
"Brother Han Yiming of the Ancient Dao Sect, Brother Shemu of the Heavenly Demon Palace, and Fairy Cai Yun of the Green Travel Cave Heaven, they have all died tragically at the hands of the Blood Fairy Sect, and none of the disciples they led have been found."
"I believe that you all have encountered danger on your way to this secret realm and have been ambushed by the Blood Immortal Cult."
"My name is Qi Heng, a true disciple of the Human King Palace. On my way to this secret realm, I was also ambushed by the Blood Immortal Sect. All my fellow disciples and brothers stayed behind to delay me, which gave me a slight chance to escape..."
In the grand hall, there were crowds of people.
The man who spoke had handsome features, golden hair, and his blood surging like a furnace, but at this moment his tone was angry and his eyes were cold, and he was obviously extremely sad.
As soon as he said this, the whole hall suddenly became boiling as if a pot had exploded.
Anger and shock appeared on the faces of all the monks.
Some of the monks who had been attacked by the Blood Immortal Sect on their way here and whose fellow disciples had their lives taken away by the Human-Faced Flag were extremely angry and sad, and it was obvious that they had been hurt.
Many people had an expression of disbelief on their faces. They couldn't believe that Ling Zhuyun, the Saintess of Yao Chi Sect, would collude with the people of Blood Immortal Sect.
How is this possible? (End of this chapter)
