Chapter 907 Under the Magic Circle
The eldest brother cursed: "Mmmmmm!"
Ye Xiaoman had a blank expression on her face: "...Brother Xiao, get up from me first."
Xiao Chujing was embarrassed and smiled at Ye Xiaoman sheepishly. He quickly left her and helped her up. His sharp eyes swept over the surrounding environment and saw the cave and his fellow disciples who were thrown in the corner and glared at him with resentment.
As his memories of being possessed by the devil returned, Xiao Chujing realized that his demonic origins had been exposed. He looked at his senior brothers and sisters with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Xiao Chujing unsealed Ye Xiaoman's sealed spiritual vein.
Ye Xiaoman said, "Brother, please remove the restrictions on Senior Sister and the others."
Only then did Xiao Chujing help them recover their spiritual energy and lift the spell of confinement he had cast previously.
The eldest brother regained his ability to speak and immediately shouted at Xiao Chujing with disgust: "Demon thief."
Although the eldest sister did not curse, her actions had already created a gap between her and Xiao Chujing. She wanted to walk towards Ye Xiaoman, but was forced back by Xiao Chujing's ruthless and calculating eyes. Finally, she reached out to Ye Xiaoman.
"Junior sister, come here."
Xiao Chujing immediately turned to look at Ye Xiaoman, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Ye Xiaoman did not move. She wanted to hug Xiao Chujing's thighs, and also hoped that her senior sister and senior brother could hug her too.
She said sadly, "Big Sister, Big Brother, to be fair, although Senior Brother Xiao has half demon blood, he has never hurt us."
The eldest brother and eldest sister were silent for a moment.
Senior Brother: "Good and evil cannot coexist. Xiao Chujing is being nice to us, maybe there's a conspiracy going on?"
Senior Sister: "What if he is an undercover demon lurking in the Qingzheng Sect?"
Ye Xiaoman did not allow the discussion to continue.
"We can discuss controversial matters after we get out. The four of us are facing the same dilemma right now. Our top priority is to unite and find a way out of this."
Xiao Chujing listened to Ye Xiaoman constantly defending him and looked at Ye Xiaoman with tenderness.
Ye Xiaoman convinced her fellow disciple and looked up to meet Xiao Chujing's gaze. "Brother Xiao, do you have something to say to me?"
Xiao Chujing said the words he had been hesitant to say, unable to contain his excitement: "Junior Sister, when are we getting married?"
Ye Xiaoman: "... Tuoba Yuling will be back soon, so we can discuss this matter later."
"Tell me about your experience first."
The four of them stood in a circle, and Xiao Chujing first told how he and Sikong Qing, Yue Mushan, Ji Wenyi, and Ji Weiming had a fight on the edge of the secret realm, and accidentally broke the edge of the secret realm and discovered a small world hidden next door.
Ye Xiaoman nodded. With Xiao Chujing's destiny as a leading man, it was quite normal for his unintentional action to trigger a branch of the plot.
The eldest brother and eldest sister have their own shocking points.
Senior Sister: "You said you were involved in a group fight with the God Emperor, the Prince of the Divine Realm, the Young Master of the Demon Clan, and the Sikong Patriarch?"
Senior Brother: "I think you are crazy!"
The eldest sister recalled the melons she had eaten and remembered that the head of the Sikong family had just beaten Prince Rui not long ago. "Is there something wrong with the head of the Sikong family? Why is he beating people everywhere?"
Xiao Chujing raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Ye Xiaoman coughed hard and changed the subject, "It's not important, let's get back to our topic."
She then told her side of the story.
Xiao Chujing: "Was it the demon cultivator who teleported my junior sister here?"
Ye Xiaoman nodded, and the eldest senior sister said, "The demons must have seen that we would lose the competition to our human world, so they plotted against the youngest junior sister."
"Their purpose is not so simple." Ye Xiaoman silently guided everyone to solve the problem. "The teleportation array is not something that Cang Lie can set up. This means that more powerful demons are secretly assisting."
"The secret realm has partially collapsed. To ensure the competition can proceed smoothly, the organizers should have reported this to the Demon Lord and immediately sent someone to repair it. However, from the Demon Lord to the demons, no one has deliberately kept silent about this matter."
Xiao Chujing agreed: "Very suspicious."
Ye Xiaoman: "Also, if such high-ranking figures as the God Emperor and the Demon Clan's Young Master fell into a small world, any loss to them would directly lead to war. The Demon Clan didn't rescue them immediately, leaving them to fend for themselves, and even teleported me here to kill them."
She cleared her throat vigorously, indicating that what she was about to say was the key point. "Do these signs mean..."
The eldest brother blurted out: "It means that the demons don't mind provoking a war. They are targeting you only because you are carrying the rumor of being the savior. Oh my God, are the demons going to start another six-realm war?"
"It's very likely," Ye Xiaoman shrugged. "There might be a fight outside soon."
The senior brothers and sisters were a little stunned as it was the first time they faced such a big thing.
Ye Xiaoman looked at Xiao Chujing expectantly: "Brother Xiao, we must hurry out and pass the message to the people outside."
Hurry up and show off your protagonist halo!
Xiao Chujing nodded, touched the top of Ye Xiaoman's head soothingly, and fell into thought.
Ye Xiaoman and her senior sisters and brothers looked towards the gate from time to time, worried that Tuoba Yuling would suddenly come back.
In the original novel, Xiao Chujing lurked in the Fangzong Fairyland for more than half a month before he figured out the structure of the strong man's burial ground and came up with a way to break the deadlock.
Ye Xiaoman couldn't wait for Xiao Chujing to think slowly, so she tried to hint.
"Big Sister, two senior brothers, I think I have an idea of how to escape from here."
The three looked at her.
Ye Xiaoman said, "When I entered the Fragrance Wonderland just now, I observed a scene. The puppets were devouring the life outside through the cracks, as if they had been hungry for a long time."
"I suspect that when they are no longer useful, the Fairyland Master intentionally keeps them in a weakened state for a long time in order to facilitate control."
"Tuoba Yuling actually left them alone, unafraid they would break free from the formation once they became stronger. I strongly suspect that Tuoba Yuling is not the true master of the Fragrant Wonderland."
The eldest brother and eldest sister looked at Ye Xiaoman in surprise: "Junior sister, what you mean is that we can use the puppets' riot to escape from the hands of that Void Refining Stage demon cultivator?"
Ye Xiaoman: "Well, I think it's feasible."
The eldest sister thought about it and shook her head. "We don't know how long it will take for the puppets to go from devouring life to rioting. The demon cultivators look very calm, so it may take a long time. Before that, we will have been killed long ago."
Ye Xiaoman: "Yes, so we have to find a way to get the puppet out of control."
She stole a glance at Xiao Chujing. In the original book, he took advantage of the puppet riot and attacked Tuoba Yuling when he was unable to do anything else. In the end, Tuoba Yuling was killed by the puppets.
Tell me you figured it out!
She was pleased to see Xiao Chujing nodded.
Xiao Chujing said: "The puppets are imprisoned on the altar by a magic circle. As long as the altar is destroyed, the puppets will riot."
In addition to confirming Ye Xiaoman's speculation, he also talked about something he observed.
"How is such a huge magic circle maintained?"
Ye Xiaoman suddenly remembered a small detail in the book.
She thought she knew the answer, the one acting as the battery underneath—
It is a part of Jing Zhui's body.
