Fang Chong also arrived at the side of the Invincible Sect at this time.
He first clasped his hands in thanks to the Invincible Sect for their help, and then brought up the real business at hand.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, you have already obtained the token, then..."
He didn't continue speaking after that.
They already have the tokens for the east, south, and north; now they only lack the token for the west. Once they obtain the western token, they can open the Void Swamp.
They still had disciples of the Taixu Sect with them, so they naturally couldn't tell the other party these things.
After all, Xi Zhen and his group had just tried to take advantage of their injuries to rob the tokens they possessed.
Fang Chong was a sword fanatic who spent all his time studying swordsmanship in his cave and rarely went out.
Therefore, in his memory, the Taixu Sect was still the sect of gentlemen, and every disciple of the Taixu Sect was humble and polite, and also a genius.
As the chief disciple of the Dingtian Sect, he bore the arduous task of advancing the sect, while also deeply admiring the disciples of the Taixu Sect.
As for the rumors about the Taixu Sect, he had hardly heard of them.
It was on the way to the Northern Region that Xie Wenxuan had mentioned to him a few times, warning him to be careful of the Taixu Sect.
He didn't think much of it at the time, but now he understands why Xie Wenxuan said those things to him.
Still shaken by the fact that his keepsake had almost been taken away, Fang Chong kept a wary eye on Xi Zhen and the other man while discussing with Sheng Ning what to do next.
He's come to see things clearly during this time.
The world is no longer the world he knew.
There are no gentlemen in the Taixu Sect, only petty people.
Despite being a small sect, the Invincible Sect possesses great abilities.
Furthermore, it seems that disciples of the Invincible Sect do not speak based on seniority.
Within the Invincible Sect, it seems that Sheng Ning is the decision-maker.
When she heard Fang Chong's voice, Sheng Ning blinked. "The secret realm shouldn't show any signs of closing yet, right?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Chong looked up at the blue sky and white clouds obscured by trees, then shook his head. "Not yet."
Sheng Ning curled her lips into a smile. She glanced at Xi Zhen and the others who refused to leave out of the corner of her eye, and said with a smile, "Then we'll wait."
As for how long this wait would be, Sheng Ning did not specify.
Night falls.
Sheng Ning and his group lit a bonfire nearby. With so many of them, they sat together in a circle, so even if someone wanted to launch a sneak attack, they wouldn't have much of a chance of winning.
In contrast, the three people sitting behind them, including Xi Zhen, were from the Taixu Sect, a major sect, and they certainly had plenty of elixirs.
Xi Zhen and Song Bei's cheeks, which were swollen and bleeding during the day, have now mostly recovered.
The two men stared intently at Sheng Ning and the others sitting around the fire, as if afraid that if they blinked, they would immediately rush into the Void Swamp and open it up to enter.
In this way, the Taixu Sect would have no chance to enter.
It's really unpleasant to be stared at.
Yu handed the roasted spirit fruit in her hand to Guan Yunchuan beside her, and then turned to look at her junior sister sitting next to her.
"Junior Sister, when are we going to make our move?"
Sheng Ning blinked upon hearing this and asked, "Make a move? Make what move?"
"Of course..."
Yu also made a throat-slitting gesture, "Then we'll go west, retrieve the items, and enter the swamp."
Sheng Ning took in his actions, her eyes filled with amusement. "No need to lift a finger."
She turned around and glanced at Xi Zhen and Song Bei behind her, before finally fixing her gaze on Qin Chuan.
To be honest, she now wants to go and talk to Qin Chuan, to ask him if he knows anything, and how much he knows.
Perhaps it was because her gaze was too intense.
Qin Chuan quickly turned around and caught Sheng Ning looking him over. The latter didn't seem embarrassed at all and even tossed him a spirit fruit.
Reaching out to catch the spiritual fruit that was aimed directly at his face, Qin Chuan opened his mouth and took a bite.
The abundant juice burst open in his mouth, and he narrowed his eyes, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
Seeing that his junior sister didn't intend to take action and even gave Qin Chuan a spiritual fruit, Yu Ye was puzzled and asked, "Junior sister, don't you want to go to the west?"
Sheng Ning shook her head. She first distributed a spirit fruit to everyone in front of her. After watching them eat the spirit fruit, she took out a syringe from her bosom.
"Junior Sister, what is this?"
The things Sheng Ning took out were always very strange, yet very attractive.
This time, she took out a syringe, and not only the Invincible Sect members were curious, but several disciples of the Dingtian Sect also craned their necks to look.
"An enhanced version of the date rape drug."
This was a medicine she prepared in her previous life when she went on a rainforest exploration trip with some colleagues.
Just a tiny amount is enough to bring down an elephant.
Sheng Ning had just considered using the composite crossbow to directly inject the syringes into Xi Zhen and the other man.
However, she felt bad that there was only so much sleeping pills left, and it would be a waste to use them all on the two of them.
She observed the wind direction at night and, after confirming that the wind was blowing towards Xi Zhen and the other person, she took a syringe and dripped a few drops of medicine into the fire.
When Lu Jingshen heard that his junior sister was holding an enhanced version of the sleeping potion, his eyes lit up instantly.
He widened his eyes slightly and said, "Junior Sister, are you trying to bewitch Xi Zhen and the others?"
"But the fire is the closest to us. What if we collapse first?"
Lu Jingshen voiced the concerns of everyone present.
After Sheng Ning dripped the sleeping potion into the fire, he saw wisps of white smoke rising from the flames and laughed, "Then why don't you senior brothers run?"
Lu Qingan frowned. "After Junior Sister finishes these things, we'll run together again."
I knew my senior brothers wouldn't abandon me.
Sheng Ning's smile deepened as she said, "The antidote has already been given to you beforehand, so even if you smell it, it won't cause any problems."
Only then did everyone remember the spiritual fruit she had handed over earlier.
Sheng Ning wasn't really confident either; although the injection she had was a supercharged version, it could bring down an elephant.
But she poured the potion into the fire; she didn't know if it would still be able to intoxicate Xi Zhen and the other man.
But soon, her worries disappeared.
As a gentle breeze brushed against their faces, Xi Zhen and his companion couldn't stop yawning.
Before long, the two of them closed their eyes.
Lu Jingshen was surprised to see this.
He wanted to ask his junior sister for some of this drug to develop, but then he remembered that the drug she had was colorless, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't develop the same one.
He felt increasingly impressed by his junior sister's abilities.
When he looked up at Xi Zhen and the other person again, he finally realized that something was wrong.
"Junior Sister, the fruit you gave Qin Chuan earlier..."
Sheng Ning nodded, "I didn't knock him out; I mainly wanted to talk to him."
Just as Sheng Ning finished speaking, another voice rang in everyone's ears.
"A-Ning? Qing'an? Is that you?"
The familiar voice transmission reached her ears, and Sheng Ning immediately forgot about her plan to have a private chat with Qin Chuan.
She and Lu Qing'an stood up together and looked towards the distance. "Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother, you're back!"
