Qian Zheng suddenly felt that he was in a dead end. No matter what good or bad things Shi Xuan said, it would push things in a bad direction. He was afraid that he could not regain Yan Lingyi's trust in him anytime soon.
He finally realized that the more he talked, the more mistakes he made, and the more conspicuous he became in the crowd. So at this point, Qian Zheng suddenly shut his mouth, shrank his neck, and said no more.
In the end, the Hongmeng team redeemed the people, deducting all their individual points and adding a "material loss fee" of 3,000 high-grade spirit stones for each person.
Yan Lingyi left with his team members, his face cold.
For Yan Lingyi, this was the most humiliating day in his cultivation history, as he was actually manipulated by a small, unknown sect from an unknown continent.
The outer arena is managed by an alliance of several large sects, including the Hongmeng Sect of the Ten Continents. They set the rule against private battles within their own territory. It's not difficult to destroy a small Qian Yuan Continent territory; the trouble lies in the subsequent handling.
If they cannot be wiped out silently, they will cause endless trouble and damage the prestige of the Hongmeng Sect in the outer realm arena. If they don't even abide by the rules they helped create, how can they expect others to believe in them?
In this outer arena, who wouldn't give the Hongmeng Sect some face? Only this best team is like a bunch of rocks in a latrine, smelly and hard!
And his teammates behind him, each one of them usually arrogant and haughty, were easily captured by those whose cultivation was inferior to their own.
Qian Zheng was even worse. This traitor! He had trusted him so much before, entrusting him with many things in the team. But he confessed everything less than half a day after being caught, even telling Shi Xuan about the Fire Source Pearl.
While this guy was still pretending, Yan Lingyi had already decided in his heart how to treat Qian Zheng in the future.
The captured members of the HarmonyOS team finally saw the light of day again.
They suffered terribly during their imprisonment. They were locked in a small, dark space, which was already very cramped. Twenty people were crammed together, tied up and unable to move. Their spiritual power was limited, and they couldn't even use a cleansing spell. It was incredibly uncomfortable.
But Yan Lingyi couldn't understand their pain; she only blamed their incompetence.
For a time, the entire HarmonyOS team experienced its lowest morale since the team was formed. Everyone was feeling aggrieved and unable to understand the difficulties of others.
After resolving the matter with the Hongmeng team, the members returned to their respective sects' headquarters to rest. The elders of each sect were very satisfied to see that their disciples had made progress during their trip.
Lu Shenzhi, however, immediately took Lu Wenxing back to his room.
"Second Senior Brother, what kind of inheritance did you obtain in the volcano? Tell us about it," Shi Xuan asked.
If it were anyone else, Shi Xuan wouldn't ask about such a thing, but with Lu Wenxing's personality, he might insist on telling you even if you don't ask him.
As expected, when his junior sister asked him, Lu Wenxing excitedly told Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi about the inheritance in great detail.
“Junior Sister, let me tell you,” Lu Wenxing grinned, his eyes practically disappearing behind his teeth, “my inheritance says that I, a noble descendant of the Ice Wolf, am not some dog! And I’ve even learned how to control my tail! It’s all from the inheritance!”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Shenzhi and felt a little embarrassed. It was only now that he remembered that his senior brother didn't seem to know that he had grown a tail.
Lu Shenzhi found it amusing that he had been by Lu Wenxing's side the entire time in the form of a soul when Lu Wenxing's bloodline awakened.
He coughed and said, "I know."
Lu Wenxing breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said, "That puts my mind at ease."
I don't know what he's so sure about.
Shi Xuan patiently waited for him to finish talking about the place of inheritance before telling him about the things recorded in the booklet and the things that Luo Qin might have to do with him.
Lu Wenxing's eyes widened as he listened, feeling as if his junior sister's words were just a story.
"You mean... I'm the descendant of the savior that this [New Life] organization wants to resurrect?" Lu Wenxing asked, his mouth twisted in a crooked way.
Could his junior sister be lying to him...? He's gone from an ally to an enemy just like that?!
Shi Xuan nodded, looking at Lu Wenxing's expression, and felt that his usually simple mind was a little slow to grasp things. So he stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "I knew Second Senior Brother was definitely a fierce wolf; dogs and such don't match his temperament at all!"
Lu Wenxing was immediately swayed by the idea that he wasn't a dog, which made him very proud and instantly dispelled his previous turmoil.
After a while, once he had almost digested the information, Shi Xuan asked, "If what is recorded in the booklet is true, what do you intend to do?"
If that's true, then Lu Wenxing, like Luo Qin, has reason to feel that all the major sects on the entire Qian Yuan Continent have wronged him.
Lu Wenxing frowned and thought for a moment, then asked in return, "If I don't tell, will the sect expel me?"
Shi Xuan shook his head: "I don't want to tell the sect leader about your awakening of the demon bloodline yet, but I don't think the sect leader will blame you even if he finds out."
"That's good then," Lu Wenxing patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "I was so scared. I thought I was going to be expelled from the sect."
This person's thought process is truly different from ordinary people. Shi Xuan looked at him helplessly and withdrew his hand from patting his shoulder. Second Senior Brother doesn't need any sympathy or comfort at all.
"Then, don't you think the sect has wronged you in any way? Don't you have any thoughts of... seeking revenge?" Shi Xuan paused when he mentioned Xin Yao, not knowing which generation of grandfather he was.
“It happened seven or eight hundred years ago, what grudge could there be to avenge?” Lu Wenxing couldn’t understand the [New Life] organization at all. “Those who had grudges against him are all gone, and besides, this was definitely not his own will.”
He glanced at his senior brother and junior sister and continued, "Look, he was wronged before and forced to leave for another continent, yet he didn't harbor any resentment. During the great calamity, he was able to return and sacrifice himself to save the world. This shows that he has a very broad mind. As mentioned before, he was a righteous person, so why would he cause so many deaths after his death in order to resurrect him?"
He paused, then said, "So this must have been something those people who wanted to do bad things created themselves, using his name as a cover."
Shi Xuan never expected that his second senior brother, who seemed like a complete idiot, actually had a rather unique way of thinking.
