"I heard it!"
Luo Xue was startled, but she couldn't find Luo Huaxin.
"It's just as Senior Sister said... He appears and disappears mysteriously."
I think Luo Huaxin was able to pass through the tightly sealed Nether Water Dungeon just now by using this kind of magic.
At the same time, a hole appeared in the dungeon's solid wall, which was only wide enough for half a person to pass through. A powerful force was still preventing the repair of the dungeon's magic circle.
Luo Xue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
... You call this opening the door
Fortunately, Luo Xue is petite, so this half-person gap is enough.
After Luo Xue passed through the hole with great difficulty, she returned to the bottom of the underground river.
Until she floated to the shore, there was no force to stop her.
"Huh..."
Luo Xue covered her wet clothes and shivered.
At this moment, a warm breeze blew slowly and dried all her clothes.
When I looked up, it was Bai Zhanying with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Big sister..."
Luo Xue shrank her head, feeling a little insecure.
She escaped after all.
"Master has looked for you, hasn't he?"
Bai Zhanying looked at the wine gourd on Luo Xue's waist and sighed softly.
"... Um."
Luo Xue nodded.
"Come with me."
Bai Zhanying turned around and walked in front of Luo Xue.
Luo Xue hurriedly followed.
"There is no place for you in the fairyland now. If you want to survive, there is only one way." Bai Zhanying said softly, seeming to suppress some emotions in his words, "... immediately escape from Juexiao Sect and head to the Demon Abyss."
Chapter 66: This is what the sect owes me (Thanks to Chen Yu Gu Yun for the extra reward)
Luo Xue knew that what Bai Zhanying said was true.
If she had not yet practiced the Xuanyin Huafeng Sutra, she might still be a sought-after disciple in the eyes of major medicine sects such as Changchun Pavilion or Zhenbao Tower.
But once you embark on the path of evil cultivation, you will become an enemy of the fairyland.
The reason why the sect leader took action just now was just to temporarily ease the situation.
After the matter was settled, Luo Xue still could not escape the Law Enforcement Hall.
But Bai Zhanying didn't want to see this scene.
After some hesitation and wandering, she finally decided to go to the Dark Water Prison to rescue Luo Xue.
only...
"Big sister, just in case, I mean just in case..."
Luo Xue followed behind Bai Zhanying and whispered,
"What if... I really am a demon cultivator?"
Bai Zhanying stopped and Luo Xue bumped into him unexpectedly.
"... ..."
Bai Zhanying was silent for a while, then turned to look at Luo Xue.
A pair of beautiful phoenix eyes drooped slightly, and there seemed to be some crystal sparkling between the eyelashes.
"I believe you, Xiaoxue."
She looked directly into Luo Xue's eyes, a hint of gentleness appeared between her brows, and she said softly,
"No matter what, I will choose to believe you."
Suddenly, an autumn breeze blew, and fallen flowers flew across the cliff.
Luo Xue recalled that for countless years, her senior sister had always looked at her like this.
Calm and indifferent.
But it is full of concern and love.
However, the more the senior sister acted like this, the more guilty Luo Xue felt.
"But Senior Sister, if you help me escape, the sect..."
"The sect won't do anything to me," Bai Zhanying interrupted in a low voice, "Because, the sect... owes me this."
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"That's right."
Bai Zhanying and Luo Xue were startled and subconsciously took up their swords.
But the next moment, their swords, which had not yet been unsheathed, were forcibly pressed back by a powerful aura.
Soon, a dark figure appeared out of nowhere. The man in black robe looked at Bai Zhanying with complicated eyes, then glanced at Luo Xue and said coldly,
"Luo Xue, you do have some magic cultivation techniques. I have dealt with the Demon Abyss many times, so I do have some insight."
"... ..."
Bai Zhanying remained silent.
"But you haven't done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth." The man in black robe changed the subject and softened it a little, "At least that's the case now."
"Uncle Black Robe, please let us go."
Bai Zhanying bowed and saluted, but his voice was more decisive than ever before.
She had already made up her mind and was willing to go all out for it.
"I didn't intend to stop you, Zhan Ying," the black-robed man's expression was a little complicated, "The sect master also thinks so - you know very well that this is what the sect owes you."
Hundreds of years ago, the ugly past of Juexiao Sect destroyed Bai Zhanying's family and made him the only orphan in the family.
The sect's top leaders have always felt guilty about this, and except for the Law Enforcement Hall, which has always had a tough attitude, everyone else has intentionally turned a blind eye.
The Dark Water Prison is a place where disciples are imprisoned after all. How could there not even be a Dark Water Prison disciple guarding it
In addition, with the strength of the man in black robe, he wouldn't even need to draw his sword to stop Bai Zhanying and Luo Xue.
But now...
There was a flash of doubt in Bai Zhanying's eyes. Since such a decision had been made, why did the man in black choose to show up
"That was the intention of the Law Enforcement Elder," the black-robed man sighed, "He... did it on purpose. He knew that the Sect Master had locked Luo Xue up in the Dark Water Prison on purpose, but he was unwilling to let her go.
"Therefore, in the competition between Juexiao Sect and Yinling Temple, it was proposed that Luo Xue be one of the three people in the Xiantian realm to fight."
"What!"
Bai Zhanying was horrified.
You have to know that Luo Xue's cultivation is only in the middle stage of the innate realm. Generally speaking, only those at least at the peak of the innate realm can participate in competitions at this level.
What's more, the disciples of the Yinling Temple are the descendants of the Demon Abyss. They all emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Not to mention their strength, their methods are extremely cruel.
"What's more, the Law Enforcement Elder... said it publicly, and he also received the support of many disciples." The black robe said, his face became a little strange, "It's all because of Luo Xue's outstanding performance in the trial these days."
"... You cheated me twice!" Luo Xue trembled and stretched out two fingers. For a moment, she was actually a little angry. "Twice, Kong Lianbin wanted to kill me because of this!"
The man in black robe turned his face away slightly. Even if he had a thick skin, he couldn't face Luo Xue calmly at this moment.
"No!" Bai Zhanying said hurriedly, "Xiaoxue doesn't have much combat experience, how can she fight against those cruel disciples of the Demon Sect?"
"But she killed Kong Lianbin," the black robe whispered, "Kong Lianbin's identity has been verified. He is from the most vicious lineage of the evil master in the Yinling Temple, and his strength is at the peak of the innate level."
Like the Juexiao Sect, the Yinling Temple is also divided into many lineages, and the hatred between different lineages may even exceed the feud with the Immortal Realm.
The lineage of the Evil Master is the most radical one. Their skills are based on the evil spirit formed after killing, so their disciples are extremely combative, fearless of death, and often have a record of fighting across levels.
Compared with the Evil Lord, the Blood Lord who was currently sparring with the Juexiao Sect was relatively gentle.
Bai Zhanying's pupils shrank slightly, and only then did she realize how amazing Luo Xue's performance just now was.
No wonder the Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall was so sure that Luo Xue must be above the Soul Condensation Realm...
In same-level confrontations between low-level cultivators, the disciples of the Demon Abyss are often superior, because in order for them to stand out from the crowd of disciples, they need to fight in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, rather than progressing step by step like the disciples of the Immortal Realm.
Only when they reach the Jindan stage and above, the advantages of the Immortal Realm disciples’ solid foundation can gradually be revealed.
"I... can go."
Luo Xue's eyes flickered as she responded.
"Xiaoxue!"
Bai Zhanying looked at Luo Xue worriedly.
"Big Sister, I know you want to take me away from Juexiao Sect secretly..."
Luo Xue said softly.
“As long as I leave the restricted airspace, the sect won’t be able to stop me.” Bai Zhanying said in a deep voice.
The man in black robe next to you looked a little nervous. He was indeed turning a blind eye, but wasn't it too much for the two of you to discuss such things face to face
"That being said, I don't want to implicate you," Luo Xue shook her head and looked up at the man in black robe, "I believe the Sect Master will definitely make a decision on this matter, right?"
The man in black robe did not answer immediately. His eyes deepened as he looked at Luo Xue.
"This little girl is asking us for an explanation," the man in black robe thought to himself.
I didn't expect that this girl, who is only twelve years old, could behave so maturely. She is much more mature than Bai Zhanying, who has lived in the immortal sect for a long time and is ignorant of worldly affairs.
However, the matter concerning Luo Xue is far from as simple as it seems.
Chapter 67: Foundation Building Battle
The apparent contradiction stems from Luo Xue's poisonous body and her identity as a demon cultivator.
In essence, it is a dispute between the Law Enforcement Hall and the Four Peaks.
After the rebellion of the Juexiao Sect hundreds of years ago, the great elders of the Huashen Sect collectively went into seclusion and no longer interfered in the affairs of the sect.
The Law Enforcement Hall was thus established, and its say within the sect was almost as strong as that of the sect master, or even greater.
What's more, Zou Junxin did not have a deep foundation in the sect. He was originally just the grand elder of Xiaoming Peak and took over the position of sect leader after the previous sect leader retired.
The Grand Law Enforcement Elder has always been at odds with the Sect Master for some reasons.
Zou Junxin intentionally favors Bai Zhanying because she was a victim of the rebellion that year, so he has been protecting Luo Xue.
Otherwise, when Luo Xue was found to have the evil poison body, she would have been arrested and "dealt with" by the Law Enforcement Hall.
In short... these are no longer just matters between Luo Xue and Bai Zhanying.
The black robe sighed inwardly and said in a low voice,
"The Sect Master... has been dealing with this matter."
If Luo Xue had not been discovered by the Law Enforcement Hall for practicing the devilish cultivation technique, after she ascended to the Immortal Gate, Bai Zhanying would have taken her down the mountain, and she would have had nothing to do with the Juexiao Sect from then on.
And now...
“But the Sect Master is the leader of a sect after all,” the man in black robe said softly, “He needs to consider the entire Juexiao Sect.
"If possible... Luo Xue should go out to fight this time."
Just like this time, the Great Law Enforcement Elder proposed in front of the entire sect to let Luo Xue take the field. He wanted to wait until she could no longer hold on and revealed her cultivation level of the Demonic Soul Condensation Realm, and then the Law Enforcement Hall would take her down with lightning speed.
