The two people looked at each other after they went outside, and both of them saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes. They still didn't understand what had happened or how they had been sent out.
"What's going on with your Qingtao Valley? Why are you having internal strife? You actually sent your own disciple out here. That's quite strange!" Sect Master Zhan was worried that Xu Yuehuai was too popular and wanted to find an excuse to suppress her. He didn't expect that someone would deliver a pillow to his head just as he was dozing off.
Zi Sangyi stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with obvious doubt and confusion as he looked at Xu Yuehuai. The Second Elder pulled him down, saying, "Sit down first, don't be so rude. There must be a reason why Yuehuai did this. Let's just watch quietly."
Nangong Yu and Shangguan Xi weren't angry; they just scratched their heads, their eyes filled with confusion. "What exactly is going on? Why would Senior Sister do this? Is there something dangerous going on? That won't do. If the two of us leave, Senior Sister will be all alone."
"Hmph, you're still thinking about your senior sister even at this point. If you ask me, they just see you as tools to be used. Once they've used you, they'll discard you whenever they want. What excuses are they giving? They're just self-deceiving pretexts." Ning Xi had come out not long before them. She had some minor wounds from fighting with these two people and was applying medicine to them.
The person next to her was applying medicine, but her eyes never left the big screen. She wanted to see how Xu Yuehuai was going to get out of this place. However, before they could get out, they started fighting amongst themselves, which gave her a chance to mock them.
Shangguan Xi rolled her eyes and said, "How can you be so malicious? Why do you always think about the downsides of things? Don't you think there are also many benefits to it?"
"Benefits? I think you two have lost your minds, haven't you? You've already been sent out, and you're still thinking about how to exonerate her? Even if you're naive, you don't have to be this naive, do you?" Ning Xi frowned, genuinely feeling that these two had broken their brains. She even stopped talking to them, worried that becoming an idiot was contagious.
Shangguan Xi stepped forward and looked at Ning Xi seriously. "Ning Xi, do you think what you said is right? Oh, no, actually I think you are quite pitiful. You live in constant fear, always on guard against whether others want to frame you, and you also have to think about whether the disciples of your own sect have ulterior motives towards you. You have lived for so long and you have been able to persist in not leaving the Zhentian Clan. I admire you from the bottom of my heart. I admire that you can hang out with so many scumbags."
"But after admiring him, I realized something. What kind of good person can someone be with scum? Do you think you're so great? What are you pretending to be so innocent for? Since you're not a good person yourself, why are you shamelessly asking others to be good people?" Shangguan Xi pressed Ning Xi.
Ning Xi had never heard such sharp words in her life. Her lips moved, but she couldn't answer. There was even a hint of evasion in her eyes. She didn't want to face this matter. But Shangguan Xi's skill in talking back was not to be underestimated. Even if Ning Xi ignored her, she could still make a very reasonable point about the matter.
Nangong Yu stood to the side, not speaking up, but his demeanor and posture clearly showed that he was on Shangguan Xi's side. His attention was entirely on the big screen, wanting to know what Xu Yuehuai was going to do next.
Zi Sangyi couldn't sit still and kept wanting Nangong Yu and Shangguan Xi to come over and explain what was going on.
After the two of them finally arrived, he anxiously asked them what was going on, only to receive a few words in response: "I don't know, I'm also confused."
"It seems that your Qingtao Valley has a different way of doing things. Unlike places like ours, we never require our disciples to be good people. That way, when it's too late to be a good person, we can always regret it." The sect leader Zhan began to gloat over Zhan Qi, his words implying that Zhan Qi had done bad things.
Inside, Zhan Qi and the others opened the top, only to find nothing there. They had no choice but to continue searching from below. Qian Qiqi disdained associating with such people.
He turned and left the main group, taking back his luminous pearl. The underground was instantly plunged into complete darkness, so dark that no one could see their own hand in front of their face. No one even knew who was standing next to them. "Why is it so dark! Quickly put the luminous pearl back! It's too dark here!"
"Help! Who are the people next to me? Who are you all? Don't touch me!"
...
Everyone was shouting, and these words kept coming, but to Ningxi's ears, they sounded extremely grating. She had been prepared when she retrieved the Night-Shining Pearl; she had taken a pill that would allow her to walk freely in the dark.
So when she stood by and watched the group of people fooling around, all she saw was indifference. What she didn't expect was that after taking back the Night-Shining Pearl and consuming the pill that granted her night vision, she discovered another way to leave this place.
She stopped watching the show and turned to leave. When someone reluctantly took out a luminous pearl from their own space to provide light, everyone realized that Qian Qiqi was gone.
As the sect's top disciple, Qian Qiqi is quite eye-catching.
Qian Qiqi's departure gave everyone confidence.
"She must have gone to the passage to the next level! Everyone, hurry and look! The passage must be inside here!"
"Hey! Several people from Qingtao Valley have disappeared too! Their senior sister and those personal disciples have all vanished!"
"Ningxi of the Zhentian Clan has also disappeared."
"And Mei Ming! Could they all have already gone in? We've been fighting here for so long, and everyone else has already gone in! We definitely can't win."
After someone first used the method of "that person is missing" to speculate whether they had gone to the next level, everyone started checking who was missing from this place.
The same thing is happening elsewhere at the same time. There are thousands of people participating in this secret realm, so it is not easy to accommodate everyone in such a large area.
Therefore, when they landed on the metallic territory, some areas were automatically demarcated to prevent them from fighting each other.
