"I didn't kill anyone this way..."
Nangong Mian rolled his eyes at Luo Xue, but she quickly reacted.
That’s not right. Why did I feel an inexplicable familiarity when talking to this girl? Have I seen her before
However, I don't seem to have any impression of her in my memory... It's impossible that I didn't remember such strange white hair.
And the only white-haired girl Nangong Mian had seen before seemed to be Princess Snow.
However, Princess Snow couldn’t even lift a sword, so how could she have the strength to reach the peak of the foundation building stage and possess such cruel swordsmanship
Besides, the face looks different.
Nangong Mian was full of doubts. He and Luo Xue cleaned up the scene and let the poor Mr. Li rest in peace for the second time before continuing the conversation.
"Excuse me, what's your name?"
Nangong Mian stared at Luo Xue intently, as if he wanted to find some clues from the other person's small details that would match his own memory.
"My name... is Jiao."
Luo Xue said silently, since this was the name she registered outside, she would just take it as it is.
When Nangong Mian heard this name, he immediately remembered what happened in the Treasure House some time ago, and blurted out,
"Nangong Jiao?"
"Ah, how did you know?"
Luo Xue was also stunned when she heard this. She had deliberately used a pseudonym without her surname, so how did she get recognized
That's not right either...
For a moment, Luo Xue was a little confused.
Nangong Mian on the other side was also a little disheveled. She looked Luo Xue up and down for a long time and saw the snow blade in her hand.
Wait, she looks familiar... She's the girl who used the sword outside the secret realm! The one who looks like a ghost!
Nangong Mian's breathing gradually became rapid. She looked straight at Luo Xue and suddenly asked,
"Are you really not a ghost?"
"... How about you try to touch it?"
Luo Xue stretched out her arms helplessly.
Nangong Mian actually reached out and touched it, and even rubbed it.
"Hmm, it's soft and feels quite solid..."
"Are you done?" Luo Xue pulled back her arm and said unhappily, "I am indeed not a ghost, nor am I the phantom you saw."
"Wait, let me sort it out first..."
Nangong Mian was still a little confused. This had gone in circles and had really confused her.
She used magic to release the image of the ghost girl and asked,
"Is this you?"
"It's me." Luo Xue nodded.
"But this doesn't look like you?" Nangong Mian moved closer to Luo Xue, looking around, "It's much better looking."
"It's just a disguise."
Luo Xue knew she couldn't hide it, so she admitted it directly.
She had used the Snow Blade outside. The appearance of the Snow Blade was quite unique. As long as Nangong Mian had seen it, he would not fail to recognize it.
"Are you the one living in the Treasure House?" Nangong Mian asked again.
"You know this too?"
Luo Xue was shocked. Doesn’t Zhenbao House respect personal privacy
"Ah, it's just a coincidence." Nangong Mian finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that you are indeed not a ghost, because you haven't entered the secret realm at that time."
"...What's going on?"
Luo Xue frowned slightly and asked.
"Aren't you asking me about the phantom?" Nangong Mian straightened his face and said, "Yes, we did encounter the phantom on the third day after entering the secret realm..."
"Didn't we just enter the secret realm?"
Luo Xue interrupted.
"How is it possible? We have been wandering in the secret realm for almost half a month. You just came in?" Nangong Mian widened his eyes, "Well, let's ignore this for now. Let's talk about what happened during this period first.
"As soon as we came in, several monks who came in with me explored the island, but for some reason... they refused to follow me and kept avoiding me, so I could only see them occasionally."
For some reasons... Even if Nangong Mian didn't say it, Luo Xue knew it very well.
"Is the fog around us always there?" Luo Xue asked.
"Yeah," Nangong Mian nodded, but paused for a moment before continuing, "But when I came in, the density of the fog wasn't as high as it is now. At least it could be seen within a hundred meters."
"Increases over time... If that's the case, then these mists shouldn't have existed before the incident in the secret realm?" Luo Xue's expression was slightly lost in thought. "Go on."
"Anyway, the seniors who came in before didn't mention it..."
Nangong Mian muttered something and continued,
"When I first saw them, they were full of energy and gathered in groups. Later, somehow, there were fewer and fewer people, and the fog became thicker. Before I saw you, I hadn't seen anyone for four or five days."
After hearing this, Luo Xue thought for a while and asked,
"When you encountered people, did they attack you?"
"He attacked, isn't that normal?"
Nangong Mian said with his eyes wide open.
Her looting ability is sometimes not limited to the secret realm, but also affects people who enter the secret realm. She has long been accustomed to becoming the target of public criticism.
"... ..."
Luo Xue was silent for a while. It seemed that Nangong Mian didn't have any useful information.
She wasn't even aware of the immortal's existence, after all, she was used to being hit for no reason.
"Where is the phantom? Does it look like me?" Luo Xue asked.
"I've encountered phantoms a few times. They were always floating in the air with their eyes closed." Nangong Mian stared at Luo Xue and touched his chin. "What did you look like... Actually, I have forgotten, but when I first saw you, I thought it was you."
"Why?"
Luo Xue was a little curious.
"Maybe because they both have white hair? Um... Actually I don't know, but at first glance, they look alike."
Nangong Mian said seriously,
"Anyway, I encountered the phantom on the third day after I came here. At that time, the other monks were so scared that they kept shouting that ghosts were coming to take their lives. I rushed forward in a hurry and planned to fight with the phantom..."
Hearing this, Luo Xue couldn't help but twitch her lips. Sister, what you said was reckless was really reckless...
"But I couldn't hit her. What's strange is that the phantom didn't chase me." Nangong Mian scratched his head, "She chased after other people. You know the situation in the fog, I couldn't catch up at all... I lost her.
"I saw the phantom several times later, and it was always the same. So when I saw you just now, my first reaction was to attack you, but when I saw the blood and mud on the ground, I calmed down..."
Without spiritual awareness, Nangong Mian couldn't figure out Luo Xue's strength.
She is just reckless, not stupid...
In the case where her strength was unknown, and the opponent had just slapped her to pieces, was she foolishly rushing forward, expecting to be the second one to be slapped to pieces
"Listen to my explanation first. There are reasons for all this." Luo Xue knew that Nangong Mian had misunderstood. She coughed twice and said, "I killed him to save his soul. It was a relief for him..."
"Yes, yes, you are right."
Nangong Mian nodded repeatedly, indicating that your explanation is absolutely correct, and at the same time, he calmly moved away from Luo Xue a few steps.
Just kill him, even if the method is a little cruel, Nangong Mian has seen it before.
But this is the first time I have seen someone say that he did it for the other person's good after killing him.
Nangong Mian feels inferior to a lunatic of this level, so he should find a chance to escape first...
Luo Xue knew at a glance that Nangong Mian must have overthought something, so she sighed and told him everything about the Immortal Will.
Nangong Mian was incredulous after hearing this. She looked at the meat paste she had just buried, and then looked at the sea of blood.
"I believe it."
"Uh... Do you believe it now?"
Luo Xue blinked, she was ready to continue talking.
"In fact, the clan has instructions about the secret realm of the Blood Sea. The first rule is that you must never touch the Blood Sea." Nangong Mian said honestly, "But it seems that they didn't tell the cultivators from outside. Maybe they also want to use them to explore the Blood Sea."
In other words, these outsiders were used as cannon fodder...
"Um... "
Luo Xue's expression became a little more serious.
"Oh, yes, there is one more thing about the phantom." Nangong Mian slapped his head and said, "In fact, the first batch of monks who came in have already encountered it, because I met the first batch of monks on the road, and they all shouted crazily that ghosts were coming.
"You were still outside at the time, so I was sure that you were not the so-called ghost."
"I see... "
Luo Xue nodded slightly.
"Alas, it's a pity that the Heavenly Pill Qi is gone." Nangong Mian sighed, "Originally, there would be a Heavenly Pill Qi on every island in the Blood Sea Secret Realm, hidden in the courtyards in the core area..."
"Oh?" Luo Xue raised her eyebrows, "Are there any buildings here?"
The surroundings looked like naturally formed islands. Luo Xue thought that the Blood Sea Secret Realm was just a series of deserted islands with nothing on them.
"Oh, yes, the style is quite unique, it feels like something from the ancient times." Nangong Mian scratched the back of his head, "Anyway, the owner of the Blood Sea Secret Realm is most likely a strong man from the ancient times, so it's not surprising."
"Shall we go again?"
Luo Xue instinctively felt that the courtyard might be hiding the secret of this secret realm, and suggested.
"I don't care..."
Nangong Mian was a little dejected, perhaps because this secret realm was a little different from what she had imagined.
There is no heavenly elixir energy, no natural treasures, only a gloomy environment and everything weird.
"Let's go."
In that case, Luo Xue did not waste any more time and immediately pulled Nangong Mian to head to the courtyard.
Then, she thought of something and asked,
"By the way, after you came in, did you meet the Nangong disciples who came in at the beginning?"
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Nangong Mian was a little confused, "Aren't you and I the only Nangong disciples who came in?"
Chapter 184: Isn’t this really your hometown
"What are you talking about?" Nangong Mian looked at Luo Xue with a slightly surprised expression and said, "Didn't the elders say that the Nangong disciples were not allowed to come in?"
Luo Xue opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
In her memory, it should be because the Nangong disciples were trapped in the secret realm that other cultivators were allowed to enter the secret realm.
But Luo Xue didn't know much about the matter itself, and only heard a few words from others.
Maybe... what others said is wrong
After much hesitation, Luo Xue finally told Nangong Mian everything she had learned from Xin'er in Zhenbaolou.
After hearing this, Nangong Mian showed an incredible expression and shook his head repeatedly.
"I don't know. I haven't heard of these things. I just sneaked in."
"All right."
Seeing this, Luo Xue had no way of pursuing the matter further. Whether it was the weirdness of the secret realm or the matter itself was a misunderstanding, she had no way of knowing.
