"Alright, since the people from the Joyous Union Sect are here, let's not waste any time. Open the secret realm and let these brats go in and try their luck." Ling Xiao's expression turned serious. He flew forward, taking out half of a jade token that was emitting spiritual light.

With her charm techniques rendered useless, Hong Xiao lost her playful mood and her demeanor returned to normal. Compared to her previous alluring state, she even displayed a hint of coldness.

"Naturally. Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao, please proceed."

So this is her true face. What a joke, thinking she was some charming older sister in red. That gentle, water-like expression was all an act.

It was just a trick to lure you into a trap with her charm techniques. Now that her objective is gone, she has no interest in pretending anymore.

Good, good, good. Everyone in the cultivation world is an Oscar-worthy actor, Bai Lan sighed inwardly.

The two Core Formation cultivators merged the jade tokens in their hands. After injecting spiritual energy into them simultaneously, the previously calm and still sea surface suddenly rippled.

After a surge of spiritual energy fluctuations, the scenery hidden within the illusion also emerged, and a dark vortex appeared.

"This formation will only last for fifteen minutes. Hurry into the secret realm. After a month, when your disciple token lights up, it will be time to leave the secret realm. We will still only wait for fifteen minutes. Do not miss the exit time, otherwise, you will have to stay in this secret realm for a whole year."

Everyone responded with a "Yes." The cultivators from the two sects then jumped into the vortex one after another, like dumplings being thrown into water.

"Wuwuwu, Host, why is the entrance to this secret realm a vortex? I have macrophobia, wuwu." The System's voice trembled as it clutched Bai Lan's sleeve, trying to retreat.

Bai Lan was speechless. She grabbed the System's collar from behind and tossed it down.

Clean and decisive, without any hesitation. Only the System's ear-splitting screams remained in the air.

Of course, because she had modified the System's underlying code to make its voice only audible to Bai Lan, his screams were only heard by her.

First, fear of heights, and now macrophobia.

If she didn't know programming, she would definitely change the little System's underlying code sooner or later.

Change it into a "charge forward bravely" system.

After saving the game state, Bai Lan did not hesitate and leaped into the vortex.

A stretch of dark void flashed before her eyes, and her mind spun for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, her vision was met with light.

She raised her hand to shield her eyes, frowning as Bai Lan adjusted to the brightness.

"Why is it you!?"

A familiar voice sounded from beside her, the female voice carrying a hint of confusion and disgust.

Slightly turning, Bai Lan saw Bai Ling's familiar face and almost couldn't hold back her composure.

After entering the secret realm, teleportation was random. So where one ended up and who they ended up with was all a matter of luck.

Today must be a day I didn't check the almanac. How can my luck be so bad to run into this woman?

Considering it from another perspective, this could also be considered good luck.

Her gaze lingered on the other party's slightly disgusted expression for a moment, and Bai Lan sneered.

Without hesitation, she drew the Soul Severing Spear from her hand and pointed it at Bai Ling. "I've tolerated you for a long time. I didn't make a move against you in the sect because I respected the sect rules. But this is a secret realm, and if I don't beat you up now, it would be impolite."

This woman had been constantly provoking her since the beginning. Although she knew that the Heavenly Mandate Child's hatred was already locked onto her.

However, this feeling of being targeted everywhere was truly unpleasant.

Bai Ling was stunned. "You, what are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do? Beat you up!" Bai Lan tightened her grip on the long spear and thrust it directly at Bai Ling.

So what if the Heavenly Mandate Daughter can't be killed? It's still okay to beat her up.

Long Aotian is a prime example.

One beating isn't enough to vent my anger? Then I'll beat her twice.

Bai Ling didn't expect Bai Lan to attack her directly. In addition to her shock, she instinctively wanted to flee.

"My Master is True Person Qing Xuan! The Sect Master's junior brother! Do you dare to attack me, are you tired of living!" Bai Ling shouted.

"Shout, shout louder. I want to see if your cherished Master will come to save you."

It's fine. If Qing Xuan comes, I'll just reload the save. No big deal.

I'll beat her up first, otherwise, my Dao heart will be unstable.

Can't find the book title? You can try searching for the author, maybe the name has just been changed!

Treading the Lesser Maze Steps, Bai Lan flashed in front of Bai Ling in a few steps, her spear aimed directly at her face.

Seeing that she couldn't dodge Bai Lan, Bai Ling's eyes sharpened. She took out a large handful of talismans from her Storage Bag and hurled them directly at Bai Lan.

Each one was a top-grade talisman.

Bai Lan's expression froze.

She originally just wanted to give her a light beating and stop, but now it seems…

Since Bai Ling has so many Spirit Stones, it would be unfair to Long Aotian if I don't extort some from her.

As fellow Heavenly Mandate Children, I can't just target Long Aotian's Storage Bag.

After all, according to the rules of the cultivation world, after defeating an enemy, their Storage Bag becomes spoils of war.

Even if I can't get rid of the Heavenly Mandate Children, I can't pass up the spoils.

She stored the game, gripped her spear, and began to dodge using the Lesser Maze Steps. After a brief period of close combat, Bai Lan abandoned it and switched to ranged attacks.

She hadn't quite mastered the Azure Dragon Spear Art yet, so the Soul Severing Spear was a bit difficult to wield.

As the personal disciple of a Core Formation true person, Bai Ling's strength was not to be underestimated, no matter how poor her combat skills.

Most importantly, the opponent possessed too many treasures for self-preservation. The constant barrage of high-grade talismans alone was enough to be intimidating.

But Bai Lan wasn't a pushover either. If even Long Aotian couldn't withstand her "reload" ability, what hope did Bai Ling have?

After dozens of rounds, the opponent finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Even with numerous treasures and boxes of talismans, they couldn't withstand this kind of fighting.

The talismans in her hand couldn't even hit Bai Lan. Like a fish, she could always nimbly dodge all incoming attacks.

If she continued to throw them, exhausting all her talismans...

Not only would she be unable to defeat Bai Lan, but the subsequent month-long journey in the secret realm would also become extremely perilous.

After a while, Bai Ling's eyes turned red as she spoke, "Fellow disciples, why must we fight amongst ourselves? If we continue, we'll both be too depleted. How will we survive in the Nine Yin Secret Realm for the next month!"

The phrase "Fellow disciples, why must we fight amongst ourselves" was truly ironic coming from Bai Ling.

Anyone who made an enemy of the Son of Destiny, whether friend or foe, righteous or evil, would inevitably meet their end.

There were quite a few people in the Azure Sect who would die by Bai Ling's hand in the future, including her original self. In fact, she had even gifted herself a luxurious "sect annihilation" package.

Bai Lan brewed a fireball in her hand and chuckled, "I'm not unreasonable, but if you expect me to let you off just like that, well, it's not quite enough."

Bai Ling gritted her teeth, "How much do you want?"

Bai Lan was clearly referring to Spirit Stones. Bai Ling knew her preferences all too well by now.

"How about two thousand Spirit Stones, as a truce fee," Bai Lan tilted her chin.

Bai Ling glared, "You're pushing your luck!"

"Then let's continue fighting. Beating you down is also a way to obtain Spirit Stones," Bai Lan smiled faintly.

"..."

After weighing her options, Bai Ling gritted her teeth and finally agreed.

"You just wait. Once we're out of the secret realm, you'll pay for what you did today." She didn't forget to leave a harsh threat before leaving.

Bai Lan merely chuckled and shook her head.

Once they were out of the secret realm, her only reliance would be True Person Qing Xuan.

But as long as the sect rules were still in place, True Person Qing Xuan couldn't kill her. As for the other insignificant troubles, they wouldn't even be an issue.

"Sys, System... what, what did you just do?" The System, panting, flew over from a distance.

After entering the vortex, the System and she had also teleported to different locations.

Sensing Bai Lan's location, the System immediately chose to rush towards her direction once it regained consciousness.

"I just saw Bai Ling running off covered in injuries. Were you in any danger?"

The System nervously glanced around.
