Chapter 43 The Real Killing
Cang Yu dived into Zhong Ling'er's sea of consciousness without waiting for anyone to see clearly. However, the Fire Spirit Pearl was wrapped by the spiritual power of Wu Chen Zhenren, and the sealing spell was cast. Then the firelight dimmed, and finally turned into an ordinary bead and fell into Zhong Ling'er's hands.
Zhong Ling'er hurriedly threw the Fire Spirit Pearl into her sea of consciousness. She didn't know what would happen to such a treasure if it entered the Canghai Pearl, so she didn't dare to move it and just let it stay quietly in the sea of consciousness.
A few people walked forward, and when they reached the bottom of the valley, they saw a bare tree with nothing on it.
Wu Chen Zhenren sighed, "It seems that the Fiery Flame Fruit has been picked by someone. We are too late."
Zhong Ling'er was studying the tree. "If we dig up the tree, how long will it take for it to grow fruit again?"
"At least fifty years, but this tree can only live in places with sufficient fire spirit energy. If you can't meet its requirements, it won't bear fruit, so there's no point in digging it up."
"No, dig it up. I have a way to keep it alive and make it bear fruit."
Seeing that Zhong Ling'er was speaking with confidence, Ouyang Ruochen didn't wait for his master to speak. He dug up the tree and the three-foot-thick soil around it with a few sword strikes, then found a spirit beast bag, put it in, and handed it to Zhong Ling'er.
This time, Master Wu Chen understood what his second disciple meant when he said that his junior sister was very good at living. It was really like she was in a desperate situation, with not a single piece of armor left.
With the presence of Master Wu Chen and Ouyang Ruochen, the secret realm was not too easy for them to enter. They walked around from the inside to the outside and searched it thoroughly, and gained a lot.
After leaving the secret realm, Ouyang Ruochen flew ahead with four disciples on his sword, while Zhong Ling'er sat on her master's sword, discussing what had just happened.
"Master, can you be gentler next time? I had already set up the Shadow Stone and wanted to catch them red-handed, but you ended up burning them to death. I wasted my time."
"This... Master will pay attention to it in the future. I don't know who dared to plot to kill our Taiqiong Sect members. If I find out, I will definitely ask for an explanation."
Faced with her master's indignation, Zhong Ling'er seemed much calmer.
“Master, you are wrong. They don’t want to harm Taiqiong Sect members, but my senior brother. Think about the upcoming sect competition. With my senior brother, the only Nascent Soul among the direct disciples, here, who can beat us who are all sword cultivators? And some people really hope that we will fall out of the top five sects!”
"You mean the Tianyu Sect? They have been very rampant recently. I didn't catch that guy just now. It was indeed a miscalculation on my part."
"Master, what can we do if they catch us? Why did the Spirit Sword Sect leave the body for us? In the end, they just said it was a grudge between disciples and we just paid an apology and that was it."
Master Wu Chen blushed. Last time, the elder of the Lingjian Sect came to make amends and apologized very sincerely. Although the reason given was a bit simple, he couldn't hold on to it, so he accepted the gift and let the matter go. Afterwards, he was blamed by his young disciple.
He forgot to ask how He Wei got such a high-level magic weapon. Without anyone to teach him, how could he know how to use the magic weapon? As the Fifth Elder, he wouldn't be unaware that he had lost his own magic weapon.
And who is the accomplice? Even if it is a grudge between disciples, this accomplice must be explained. You know, this matter is related to that wisp of evil spirit, how can it be easily let go?
Master Wu Chen really wanted to say that he had been mentally and physically exhausted from the array patterns drawn on his body every day during those few days and he really couldn't think of so much. But he felt that these were all excuses and was afraid that his little disciple would laugh at him if he said them out loud, so he kept his mouth shut.
Zhong Ling'er wanted her master to be more careful about what he did, but she didn't really want to blame him. The people behind this must be connected to the demon clan and would definitely cover up the matter. Even if they continued to investigate, they might not find any results. At most, they would just create one or two scapegoats.
"Master, if it happens again, please ask Second Uncle to help. Second Uncle is thick-skinned. There are some things that Master cannot say, so let Second Uncle say them."
Zhong Ling'er blinked at her master, causing Wu Chen Zhenren to laugh. He pinched his little disciple's cheek and said, "Your Second Uncle really likes you, but that's how you framed him."
"Hehe, Second Uncle is very good, but Master is even better!"
The young disciple's words pleased Master Wu Chen, and he could not help but burst into laughter. However, he realized something was wrong when he was halfway through laughing. The space nearby was violently fluctuating, and a strong and rich aura suddenly appeared.
Zhong Ling'er suddenly had a bad premonition, a very strong sense of crisis, as if the sky would fall down at any moment and history would repeat itself.
It turns out that the assassination in Lieyan Valley is not the final resort, the real danger is waiting here.
A shadow stone flew up beside Zhong Ling'er. After thinking it was not safe, she hung another one around her neck. Then she pulled her master's sleeve and said, "Leave him alive!"
Master Wu Chen looked solemn. He first threw out a protective shield to protect his younger disciple, and then looked at his older disciple in front of him.
Ouyang Ruochen immediately threw the four disciples to the ground, pointed his sword in one direction and stood still, "Who are you? Come out!"
"Ouyang Ruochen, you are a good candidate, but it's a pity that you are blocking the way of too many people."
A masked man in a black robe appeared in front of everyone. The pressure from his body spread out, and the tremendous weight distorted the surrounding space for a moment, and everyone was pressed to the ground.
"Fusion!" Master Wu Chen was surprised. Those who have achieved fusion are considered powerful. They are either elders of a large sect or leaders of a small sect. Why would they come and pick on a junior?
Ouyang Ruochen was forced to the ground by the pressure and knelt on one knee, but he refused to surrender. He supported the sword with his hand and raised his head stubbornly, with the blue veins on his neck clearly visible.
"Who are you?"
Ouyang Ruochen spoke with difficulty, but the man in black robe smiled and said, "Haha, you will never know the answer to this question. I will kill you, crush your soul, and make you disappear from the world forever."
After saying this, he raised his hands, and countless flames erupted. Then the flames turned into countless fire crows, flying all over the sky, shocking everyone.
Flames descended from the sky, covering the entire area, including the four disciples, Master Wu Chen, and Zhong Ling'er.
Obviously, the man in black robe intended to kill Ouyang Ruochen and the rest of the ants at once.
Zhong Ling'er ran over and stood with the four disciples. At the same time, the talismans on her body kept lighting up, blocking the flames.
Ouyang Ruochen flew up and swung his sword. Sword beams appeared, like stars falling from the sky, heading towards the fire crow.
True Man Wu Chen imitated the man in black robe. He condensed his spiritual power and countless fireballs appeared. They fell rapidly with a burning breath and rushed towards the man in black robe.
The black-robed man snorted lightly, and with a wave of his sleeves, a spiritual barrier appeared, blocking Ouyang Ruochen's rain of swords, blocking... no, it failed to block the fireball.
