Chapter 121 A Trip to Penglai (4)
Luo Zai Shui first sent a message to Xie Jing, and then led a group of people to surround the secret realm formation.
The Wen family members responsible for guarding the formation stopped them: "What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"
Luo Zai Shui held her sword to the man's neck and said coldly, "Get out of the way."
What are you doing?
A voice rang out from behind, sending chills down their spines: "What are you doing?"
The gaze behind her felt like a venomous snake coiling around her. Luo Zai Shui's hands unconsciously stiffened. Her intuition told her that there was a very dangerous presence behind her, and a voice inside her was frantically telling her not to turn around.
Luo Zai Shui, who was observing the secret realm's formation, noticed the movement behind her and froze. That was her reaction at the time.
She's...scared...
Luo Zai Shui, relying on the fact that others couldn't see her, steadied herself and slowly turned around.
As she turned around, Luo Zai Shui met the venomous gaze of the Wen family head. In that one glance, she almost felt that the man could see her.
But in fact, that person was looking through her at Luo Zai Shui, who dared not turn around.
The man continued, "Who are you, a junior member of which family? Why are you causing trouble?"
Luo Zai Shui took a deep breath, sheathed her sword, and slowly turned around, her eyes showing no fear: "Xianyun Peak, Luo Zai Shui."
Why are you causing trouble?
The man asked a third time, his tone carrying the authority of an elder.
Luo Zai Shui replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The demon race has infiltrated the secret realm. There is no one in charge, so I had no choice but to take the liberty of rescuing the people first."
"Oh? You mean to say that the deacons here are not in charge?"
He hadn't focused on the demons; rather, he saw it as a junior taking it upon herself to try and break the formation. In the eyes of the Wen family head, this was nothing more than a provocation against the Wen family by a junior like her.
Luo Zai Shui was not swayed, but repeatedly emphasized: "The demons have infiltrated the secret realm, and the disciples' lives are uncertain. Moreover, Young Master Wen is also inside. Isn't Patriarch Wen worried?"
Luo Zai Shui naturally understood that the Wen family patriarch didn't care about his adopted son at all, but even tigers don't eat their cubs, and the Wen family patriarch cared about his reputation, so he couldn't disregard the life and death of his own son.
He scoffed, "You certainly have a good idea."
Luo blinked calmly at Shui: "I wouldn't dare."
"Heh." The Wen family head curled up the corners of his mouth, a faint smile on his face. "I see you've got quite the nerve. You really are Xie Jing's disciple."
The man's eyes took on a sinister glint, a hint of greed lurking within them, as if he wanted to devour Luo Zai Shui alive. He muttered to himself, "Surname Luo, huh? What a coincidence."
Only Luo Zai Shui heard those words. She didn't understand them, but her intuition told her that this was not a good thing.
But Luo Zai Shui, who was in the void, understood that the Wen family had discovered her identity.
No, that's not right. He's only doubting it right now.
He knew about Xie Jing's relationship with the Luo family, but no one saw Xie Jing rush to the Luo family to rescue people that day. Moreover, Xie Jing wasn't stupid enough to let someone with the surname Luo, who looked seven-tenths like Luo Du, wander around in front of him.
So, who exactly is this person?
The Wen family patriarch's eyes held a newfound scrutiny. Luo Zaishui knew that she could no longer hide her true identity. The Xue Ling bloodline was rare, and with careful observation, one could always discover something different. That would be her death day.
But at that time, Luo Zai Shui had no idea about her background, let alone how to deliberately hide it.
It seemed as if an invisible hand was constantly pushing them, and Luo Zai Shui was one of the victims of this rewriting of fate.
Knowing that she was about to die, Luo Zai Shui didn't care much. What she was more concerned about now was where her incorporeal soul would end up if she died, or whether she would be able to move freely soon.
But now is not the time to dwell on these things.
Su Wusi and the others have already clashed with the demons.
There weren't many people from the demon race, but the direct disciples had little contact with the demons. Faced with the demons' unpredictable moves, they were almost powerless to fight back and were defeated one after another.
The chief disciples, including Shi Ming, were barely able to fight them, but the reinforcements from the demon race arrived too quickly, and they were also captured.
Su Wusi was captured along with Ye Xiao. Because of Luo Zai Shui's prior instructions, Ye Xiao protected Su Wusi behind her, which is why Ye Xiao is now unconscious, but she was not seriously injured.
"Senior Brother Ye, I'm sorry."
Su Wusi's eyes were filled with tears. She thought she had become brave, but only now did she realize her weakness.
She was too weak, so she couldn't help her senior sister.
She was too weak, which is why she dragged Senior Brother Ye down with her.
If only she were a little stronger, just a little stronger...
"Junior Sister Su, Junior Sister Su..."
Nie Xushuang called to her softly, "Don't cry, come here."
They were all bound hand and foot, unable to move much.
Su Wusi held back her tears and carefully moved closer.
A bottle of pills was silently slipped into her hand: "Feed this to Ye Xiao, he can still be saved, hurry!"
Ye Xiao was on the verge of death, and the pill in her hand was her only lifeline.
Su Wusi gripped the bottle of pills tightly in her hand, keeping an eye on the movements of the demons while quietly moving closer to Ye Xiao.
What are you doing?!
A demon noticed her movement and kicked her.
Su Wusi fell into Ye Xiao's arms. She pretended to have been kicked hard, secretly poured the pills from the bottle into her palm, and put them into Ye Xiao's mouth. After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the pain in her body followed.
The demon tried to kick Su Wusi again, but Jian Muyi stepped in front of her without hesitation, and the kick landed squarely on Jian Muyi's wound: "Don't bully my junior sister!"
Despite grimacing in pain, the man smiled and turned back to comfort his junior sister, saying, "Are you alright, junior sister? Once I get out of here, I'll make them pay!"
Tears welled up in Su Wusi's eyes again, much to her dismay.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Jian Muyi panicked a little: "Junior Sister, don't be afraid, your senior brothers will definitely protect you!"
The demon, who couldn't stand their camaraderie, raised his foot, trying to shut Jian Muyi up.
Unexpectedly, another person blocked Jian Muyi's way. Ji Tinghan said with a gloomy face, "Who gave you permission to touch my junior brothers and sisters?"
Perhaps Ji Tinghan's gaze was too terrifying, for the demon hesitated for a moment. But then he thought, "This person has already been captured by us, what's there to be afraid of?" He pretended to teach Ji Tinghan a lesson.
"Who goes there!"
A white figure caught their attention.
"Get her now!"
When Nie Xushuang saw who it was, she nearly collapsed: "Qiao An, run!"
