Although it was unknown whether the Blazing Sun Flower could help those with shattered spiritual palaces, everyone was still willing to hold onto a sliver of hope. Liu Youcai's words were ill-intentioned, but they did not arouse any suspicion from his fellow disciples.
Firstly, their own strength is not enough to take risks. If they could obtain some demon cores, the final total points could be exchanged for good things at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's treasure hall, which would be of great use to them.
Secondly, they genuinely hope that Liu Jinghong can return to her peak.
After all, he was the pillar of their sect!
"I want to go." To everyone's surprise, after Liu Jinghong, Gu Chunxiao was the first to raise her hand.
She actually had no particular feelings towards the Sunflower, nor did she care much about winning or losing the competition; she simply wanted to meet the Nascent Soul Serpent guarding the flower. She was very interested in the serpent's fangs, venom, bile, and so on.
“If Junior Sister Gu is going, then I will have no choice but to accompany her.” Song Nanhe did have designs on the Blazing Sun Flower, but he did not want to offend the crowd. He would be staying in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion for a very long time. If the Blazing Sun Flower could only belong to one person among so many people, then that person could only be Liu Jinghong.
Liu Youcai rallied a group of people, and in the end, only four people, including himself, chose to go.
Liu Youcai, Foundation Establishment Peak.
Liu Jinghong, Qi Refining Level 7.
Song Nanhe, early stage of Golden Elixir.
Gu Chunxiao, peak of Foundation Establishment.
This lineup is absolutely explosive even in the entire treasure hunting world.
Liu Jinghong was too embarrassed to expose Liu Youcai's clumsy scheme.
Isn't the plan just to fool him and then find an opportunity for the Nascent Soul Serpent to eliminate him?
If I'm not mistaken, before entering the giant serpent's territory, he should inexplicably have snake fruit, snake vine grass, snake-bewitching incense, and other things that have a deadly attraction to snakes on his body.
Ultimately, what Liu Youcai wanted to see was for him to act as the sacrificial lamb to lure away the giant snake, allowing him to seize the opportunity to pick the flower. He would then be eliminated by the snake, and Liu Youcai would obtain the Fiery Sun Flower and inherit its 18,000 points.
How could he even think of that!
He's so happy!
As night deepened, the rain gradually subsided, and the entire forest fell silent. Water droplets dripped from the leaves and flowed into puddles on the ground, pattering softly.
The wind stopped at some point.
The sky turned from black to blue, and the afterglow pierced through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on the entrance to the cave.
The disciples awoke one after another.
Liu Youcai and the other three bid farewell to their fellow clansmen and set off for the giant serpent's territory.
Before we had gone halfway, we encountered an uninvited guest.
The man in white coughed, clutching his chest, a trickle of crimson blood spilling from his lips, which he wiped away with his thumb. The blood-stained longsword lay beside him, the whole scene both tragic and poignant.
Before the spirit mirror, Chu Hongluan watched this scene and couldn't help but jump for joy.
Here it comes, here it comes, the crucial moment in the plot is about to arrive!
In order to win the championship and obtain the ancient black iron, the male protagonist Mo Yu left the Sword Pavilion team and went on adventures everywhere. He wielded his sword to destroy the lair of many monsters, including Golden Core monsters. Just now, he fought a two-headed wolf at the peak of the Golden Core level by himself, and suffered considerable internal injuries.
According to the plot, it should be that the Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan, Shen Jiaojiao, passed by and healed his injuries, thus beginning their ill-fated relationship.
But the Witch Clan didn't participate this time, so how will the story unfold?
Chu Hongluan stared intently at the spirit mirror, her eyes full of interest.
Inside the secret realm, the four people and Mo Yu had clearly seen each other.
Mo Yu's eyes sharpened, his back tensed, and his hand was already gripping the sword.
The obvious defensive posture resembled that of a lion that might pounce at any moment.
Today is the third and final day of the competition. The battle for the core pills among the disciples of each sect has reached a fever pitch.
But he was destined to perform a one-man show.
Because Liu Youcai's mind is now completely focused on "killing Liu Jinghong and getting the Blazing Sun Flower," he has no time to care about anyone else.
Gu Chunxiao stared at Mo Yu for a long while, feeling a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him somewhere before. But she figured it was probably just her imagination, after all, she hadn't escaped the control of "those people" for the past ten years. Normally, she might have helped him out. But right now, all she wanted was to get close to the giant snake she longed for.
Song Nanhe noticed Gu Chunxiao's gaze and frowned, somewhat annoyed. Was she really that good-looking? He thought that Mo Yu was only about equal to him, so why hadn't he seen her look at him like that? The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He quickly left; the competition was already annoying enough.
Liu Jinghong was even more straightforward; his beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with only two words: bad luck.
So the group walked past Mo Yu without looking at him.
"..."
Chu Hongluan suppressed a laugh.
The Sword Pavilion elder grew even angrier upon seeing this, glaring fiercely at her: "Is this the way you disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion behave? You have absolutely no chivalrous spirit!"
“You’re mistaken, sir.” Chu Hongluan raised her chin slightly. “Right now, Young Master Mo is like a cat with its fur standing on end. Anyone who goes up to him will get scratched a couple of times. It’s wise not to go looking for trouble.”
The Sword Pavilion elder grew increasingly angry. How could she, how could she say that their Sword Pavilion's chief disciple was, was—
The word "cat" was too difficult for this old swordsman, with his iron will, to utter.
"Moreover, today is the last day of the competition. The disciples of Tianji Pavilion did not take advantage of others' misfortune, and they have already acted uprightly. I hope that you, sir, will not think that the whole world revolves around your young master Mo."
The elder of the Sword Pavilion was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Inside the secret realm, Mo Yu watched the group's departing figures, feeling only humiliation.
Why do they ignore him?
