Chapter 178 The entire army was wiped out
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, the others looked over and immediately straightened their faces, their eyes turning cold.
"It's them!"
"Yes, I really didn't expect that..."
Not far away, in a patch of flowers, lay a large group of cultivators dressed in cyan sect robes, fast asleep with their eyes closed as if lost in a beautiful dream. It seemed they were under the illusion spell cast by the flowers; if no one came to wake them, they might remain asleep there forever.
"Wow! An old acquaintance! It's actually someone from the Tianyi Sect!"
Chu Wenqing was the first to shout, his eyes full of schadenfreude. He took a few steps forward, bent down to look here and there, and his mouth was anything but polite.
"Tsk tsk! Who would have thought that the disciples of the Tianyi Sect, who pride themselves on being the strongest among the four great sects, would be completely wiped out here! Weren't they always so arrogant and haughty? How come they're all sleeping here like little lambs now? Tsk tsk tsk..."
Su Luo remained noncommittal, crossing her arms with an indifferent expression.
Whether in her previous life or this one, the inner disciples of Tianyi Sect have been gossiping about her behind her back, saying that she is unworthy of her position and that they are like brainless fans who only know how to follow the female lead and her group around, which is simply inexplicable.
It's not surprising that all of these people have now fallen victim to the virus.
Although Feng Xiyue was somewhat surprised that the entire Tianyi Sect had been wiped out, she was more interested in the white flower stamens around her than the people. So she took a few steps inside while recalling information about the hallucinogenic spiritual plant in her mind.
She hadn't gone far when she saw another small group of people lying unconscious on the ground. She quickly shouted, "There are more people here! Come and take a look!"
The group quickly walked over, and Su Luo immediately spotted the two most conspicuous teenagers in the crowd, her eyes instantly turning icy cold.
Chu Wenqing also spotted the two guys lying in the crowd and immediately sneered, "I didn't expect these two to fall for it here too! Hmph, serves them right!"
At this moment, the two guys lying unconscious on the ground because of the hallucinogenic plant were Ye Danqing and Qin Xiu, who had obviously also been affected.
Feng Xiyue nodded without hesitation, "They deserved it! These two are clearly direct disciples, yet they were easily caught in the illusion, causing everyone to fall here! They've truly disgraced the direct disciples of our four major sects!"
Feng Xiyue is growing increasingly disgusted with the Tianyi Sect! Especially those two guys, Ye Danqing and Qin Xiu!
They've known Su Luo since childhood, cultivating together, yet those two neglected and even bullied her for Ning Wanshuang's sake! They're utterly clueless about who's closer to whom, and incredibly brainless! Not to mention, they went back on their word and insisted on taking Su Luo back—truly despicable! Now, as direct disciples, they led a team into the secret realm for training, resulting in total annihilation—they're utterly incompetent! How can such people enjoy the sect's abundant resources and be revered by cultivators across the land as direct disciples? Do they deserve it?!
Song Qiao was unaware of the shameless acts of the Guan Tian Yi Sect members, so when he saw Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue looking so fierce, he asked them curiously why. Chu Wenqing immediately spilled the beans about what they had done to Su Luo.
Song Qiao was also indignant after hearing this. He frowned and looked at the two men with disdain in his eyes. "They...they actually did so many shameless things! It's unheard of! They really...serves them right!"
Needless to say, Lin Ji was even more so.
He had spent some time at the Tianyi Sect and knew how Ye Danqing and the other man treated Su Luo. At the time, he didn't think much of it and just watched coldly. But now, looking back, he was filled with regret! He felt sorry for Su Luo and was filled with murderous intent towards the two of them!
Therefore, Lin Ji's gaze towards Ye Danqing and the others could be described as looking at inanimate objects. The chilling killing intent emanating from him startled Song Qiao and Feng Xiyue, who both looked at him with strange expressions.
Lin Ji quickly suppressed his killing intent, lowered his eyes and pretended to be looking at flowers, secretly suppressing the intense emotions in his eyes.
He can't make a move yet... but it doesn't matter. Once he gets out, he'll make those people from the Tianyi Sect regret it for the rest of their lives!
Feng Xiyue saw Lin Ji looking at the flowers, her beautiful face pale to the point of being transparent, and she slightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows.
Was what I just felt... just my imagination?
She shook her head and went back to studying the flowers.
Song Qiao glanced at Lin Ji with lingering fear, a hint of unease creeping into his eyes.
He had just sensed a chilling killing intent emanating from Lin Ji! But that killing intent vanished in an instant, and the young man before him still looked so beautiful and fragile, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion! But... he was certain that it wasn't an illusion!
From the very beginning, he and Zhuzhu were terrified of Lin Ji! This might be because he had beast blood, and Zhuzhu was also a spirit beast, making their sense of danger extremely acute! Although there was no evidence, his beastly instincts told him that Lin Ji was dangerous! Extremely dangerous! Even though he seemed so harmless, even though his current cultivation level was lower than his own! He just felt that Lin Ji was dangerous! Coupled with that suffocating, overwhelming aura of malice and murderous intent just now! He was certain that Lin Ji was definitely not simple! He was dangerous! Extremely dangerous! More dangerous than anyone he had ever met!!
Fearing Lin Ji would notice something amiss, Song Qiao quickly averted his gaze, his heart pounding, only his tightly pursed lips betraying a hint of his unease.
The problem now is that he has absolutely no evidence to prove any of this!
Moreover, Lin Ji hasn't done anything wrong so far, hasn't harmed them, and his heart is completely devoted to Su Luo. Therefore, he can't tell anyone else about this, and he worries that if he does, others won't believe him and might even anger Lin Ji. Rather than that, it's better to pretend he doesn't know and remain vigilantly aware of the situation…
His master, uncles, senior sisters, and second senior brother had always protected him, afraid of hurting his fragile heart. But since arriving in the Cloud Realm and experiencing so much, he felt he had gradually overcome the psychological trauma of his childhood and was no longer so afraid. Just as Su Luo said, no matter how hard you try, you can't go back to the past. Instead of regretting it, it's better to face the future well and leave no regrets!
Thinking of this, Song Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and secretly clenched his fist.
This time, he will protect his senior sisters, senior brothers, and Su Luo! Even if it costs him everything!!
Chu Wenqing was unaware that his junior brother had made a major decision. After complaining to Song Qiao, he became increasingly angry. He simply squatted down and patted Ye Danqing's face. After confirming that the other party was not awake, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Ye Danqing, that vain guy, would be furious if he knew we'd seen him in such an embarrassing state! He'd never dare show his face in front of us again! Sigh, I really wanted to record this and show it to them later, as a memento..."
As he spoke, Chu Wenqing sighed and shook his head, "What a pity, I've already used up my recording stone, so I can't record any more..."
"Second Senior Brother, as for a recording stone... I have one here..."
Just then, Song Qiao suddenly spoke up and handed something to Chu Wenqing, who subconsciously looked down at it.
Good heavens! This is exactly the photo-recording stone he wanted!
"Junior Brother Song, how... how do you have a recording stone?" Chu Wenqing picked up the recording stone, his face full of disbelief.
Before meeting Su Luo, the people of the Lingxiao Sect were extremely poor. Apart from the two or three magical artifacts given to them by their master and uncle, they had almost nothing, let alone the ability to buy less practical magical treasures like image-recording stones with spirit stones! Junior Brother Song was also penniless. Where did he get these image-recording stones from?!
Song Qiao scratched his face, smiling somewhat embarrassedly, "Back in the Frozen Realm, I... I traded with a disciple of the Myriad Swords Sect... A female disciple approached me privately, begging desperately... I couldn't bear to see her like that, so... I traded one of my own fish soups with her..."
"Female disciple?"
Upon catching this particular word, Chu Wenqing's eyes widened, and even her voice became a few decibels louder.
He glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention, then grabbed Song Qiao and excitedly whispered, "Who is that female disciple? Do we know her? What's her name?"
Good heavens! A female disciple actually approached my junior brother to exchange something, and he even agreed out of kindness! Could this be my junior brother's romantic interest?!
Song Qiao looked bewildered, not knowing why Chu Wenqing was so happy. He simply replied honestly, "No, I don't know her. This is the first time I've met her... As for her name, she did tell me her name after we exchanged the items, but I didn't pay attention. After giving her the fish and fish soup, I left... After all, we are complete strangers. It was just a barter transaction. Why did we need to exchange names?"
Chu Wenqing: ...
Well, my junior brother is hopeless.
The female cultivator disregarded her pride and took the initiative to approach him, even revealing her name. It was obvious she was interested in him! And yet, Song Qiao didn't even remember her name and turned to leave! He's destined to be single forever! Even the Heavenly King himself couldn't save him!
