Meng Wan's face showed relief, fear and gratitude.
"It was this root of Scrophulariaceae that allowed me to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining."
Fairy Bishui nodded slightly. "It's rare to find herbs that can be swallowed directly by cultivators. You're quite lucky to have come across a hundred-year-old Scrophulariaceae."
Hundred-year-old Gentiana is extremely precious to cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, but it is just so-so for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"What happened after that? How did Wu Yue and the others die?"
“I, I…”
Meng Wan lowered her head nervously, looking like she wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak.
Seeing this, Xue Lianzi raised his eyebrows slightly, vaguely guessing something.
Seeing Meng Wan hesitating, Chi Yanzi snorted impatiently.
"If I ask you to explain, just tell me straight. Those useless guys won't fall into your hands, will they?"
Meng Wan hurriedly shook her head. "It wasn't me. After I escaped from the lair of the foundation-building monster, I found a safe place to hide. I wasn't teleported out until the Spirit Ruins closed."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three foundation-building cultivators except Blood Lotus Seed all had strange expressions on their faces.
Fairy Bishui looked at Meng Wan with a somewhat displeased expression.
"You mean, after entering Lingxu and obtaining half a piece of purple sand stone, you gave up on searching for other natural treasures?"
As if sensing the Fairy of Clear Water's dissatisfaction, Meng Wan trembled with fear.
"Alright, Senior Sister, the reason Meng Wan did this was actually because of my instructions."
Blood Lotus Seed finally spoke. After all, Meng Wan was hers and represented her reputation.
"Before entering Lingxu, Meng Wan was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Seeing her low strength, I told her to find a place to hide after obtaining the purple sand stone.
It seems like a lucky coincidence. Even Wu Yue was killed in it. If Meng Wan hadn't hidden, no one from my Xuanyin Sect would have survived the Spirit Ruins. Wouldn't that have been a joke? "
After listening to Blood Lotus Seed's explanation, Fairy Bishui finally gave up on the matter.
Meng Wan is from the Blood Lotus Seed faction, so it is natural for her to obey her orders.
Blood Lotus Seed looked at Meng Wan, "Did Wu Yue and the others send you any message before they died?"
Meng Wan nodded, "Yes, they found the trace of the Longevity Fruit and wanted me to go with them to fight for it, but I always remembered the instructions of my predecessors and didn't go anywhere."
"It seems that those useless creatures probably died in the fight for the Longevity Fruit."
Anger flashed in Chi Yanzi's eyes. "It's likely someone has teamed up to trick my Xuanyin Sect members. I think this has something to do with that kid Gu from the Jinyun Sect and that girl from the Piaomiao Palace!"
Fairy Bishui raised her hand to wave Meng Wan away, then spoke in a cold tone.
“Even if you know it was the Jinyun Sect and Piaomiao Palace that did the attack, what does it matter? Since these little guys are not as strong as them, you can only hold your nose and bear it.
Let's leave it at that. If you're unhappy, you can kill a few more of those road dogs when you come back."
"Yes, Senior Sister Bishui."
After hearing what Fairy Bishui said, Chi Yanzi seemed respectful on the surface, but was speechless in his heart.
Make it clear that this Five Sects Conference is the home venue of the Jinyun Sect.
It was good enough that they could return to Xuanyin Sect safely, but they also killed people.
As a great cultivator who has completed the foundation building, Fairy Bishui has the confidence to say this, but he knows his own weight.
Forget it, let's see what happens when the time comes.
If the situation is not right, he can just abandon the flying boat and run away. The most the sect can do is to accuse him of failing to guard properly and fine him tens of thousands of spirit stones.
As for the remaining Qi-refining disciples, he let them die.
Anyway, the most valuable people died in Lingxu. Whether the remaining trash can return to Xuanyin Sect alive depends on their luck.
The disciples of Xuanyin Sect did not know that the real test had just begun from the moment they left Jinyun Sect on the flying boat.
When they learned that the Xuanyin Sect had only managed to get fifth place in this five-sect competition, the others looked at Meng Wan with immediate dissatisfaction.
Some people were talking in low voices, with a contemptuous tone.
"In the five sects' competition, my Xuanyin Sect has always been first, but this time we ended up last. It's hard to say if someone is holding us back."
"It's one thing to hold us back, but some people were only at the seventh level of Qi Refining before entering Lingxu. Yet, they broke through two levels in just one month. I wonder what they did behind the scenes."
When Meng Wan heard these slanderous words, she just smiled good-naturedly, looking like she was willing to endure it.
In Lingxu, she never showed up in public from beginning to end, so Gu Chi naturally had no chance to attack her.
Based on her understanding of the Meng family, she was afraid that they would not feel at ease unless she was dealt with.
So, when will they choose to take action?
"boom!"
Just after leaving the territory of Jinyun Sect, the flying boat suddenly shook violently a few times and stopped.
Even the protective formation on the flying boat was half destroyed.
"Enemy attack!"
The figures of Fairy Bishui and others flew out from the room on the second floor of the flying boat and looked around vigilantly.
He immediately saw the figure blocking the flying boat.
The Fairy of Green Water looked at Zhu Yusheng who was blocking her way with a playful look in her eyes.
"Mr. Zhu, instead of leading your men to intercept the people from Piaomiao Palace, you actually set your sights on attacking my Xuanyin Sect. You're quite courageous."
Zhu Yusheng was not angry at the rudeness of the Fairy of Green Water. This was always the case with those who practiced magic.
The more you pay attention to her, the more excited she becomes.
Act like a nerd and she'll find you boring.
Sure enough, seeing Zhu Yusheng’s lack of reaction, Fairy Bishui rolled her eyes and spat, “Boring!
A dull idiot like you is not even fit to warm my bed, you can only be used as a furnace."
Before she finished speaking, Fairy Bishui rushed out of the flying boat and rushed towards Zhu Yusheng, intending to capture him quickly.
"Senior Sister, I'm here to help you!"
Blood Lotus Seed shouted loudly and flew out of the flying boat. Just as he was about to rush towards the two of them, he was stopped by another figure who was hurrying over from behind.
"Your opponent is me!"
Blood Lotus Seed had no choice but to turn around and fight with the newcomer.
While the Fairy of Green Water and the Blood Lotus Seed were fighting the enemy, the flying boat started up again and flew away from the Jinyun Sect.
However, after the delay just now, three flying boats of the Jinyun Sect had already followed them.
Chi Yanzi looked back from time to time, feeling a little worried, but forced himself to calm down.
Right now, Elder Jindan is still in charge of the flying boat, and it is not time for him to run away.
He looked at the Black Mountain Taoist standing beside him and opened his mouth to say something, but remembering that this senior brother was notoriously eccentric, he silently closed his mouth again.
They are just worthless Qi-refining disciples. I hope the people of Jinyun Sect are not so bored and send out some famous Jindan monster to hunt them down.
