In the fourteenth year, you spent the entire year at Tianqi Academy. That year, Lin Qi successfully broke through to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.
You decided to take Ye Chuxue and Lin Qi to You Prefecture.
At first, Lin Qi didn't understand why you wanted to go to You Prefecture. You told him you knew of a secret realm there where he could safely break through to Core Formation.
Hearing you say there was a new secret realm, Lin Qi's attitude changed at once.
Ever since the Immortal Falling Secret Realm had been corrupted, they hadn't known where to go for their next breakthrough.
Although Ye Chuxue had told him that Central Prefecture had many secret realms like that, they faced another problem: Central Prefecture was crowded, and its people were very exclusionary toward those from other prefectures.
Fang Jingchun watched you take the two of them to You Prefecture without stopping you. He believed you were a man of great wisdom, and that you must have your reasons for doing this.
A month later, you brought the two of them to the place Gu Xinyue had mentioned. Following the spell she had taught you, you successfully found the entrance to the Blood Demon Secret Realm.
After entering the secret realm, you discovered that conditions there were much the same as in the Immortal Falling Secret Realm.
Not long after you entered, a streak of Sword Qi shot toward you from the depths of the secret realm.
Knowing you couldn't withstand the Sword Qi, you hurriedly used the Great Void Technique to take the two of them out of harm's way.
"What powerful Sword Qi! Why is the senior here trying to kill us?"
Lin Qi looked at the spot on the ground just devastated by the Sword Qi, still shaken.
You knew your Third Senior Sister was behind it, trying to keep outsiders from entering, but you didn't tell the two of them the truth.
"Third Senior Sister, it's me, Su Ming! Please stop attacking!"
Sure enough, after you called out your name, the terrifying Sword Qi from the depths of the secret realm slowly faded.
Before long, a graceful figure appeared before you.
Her black hair fell to her waist, and her delicate features left you momentarily dazed.
"Little Junior Brother? What brings you here?"
Xia Qiange glanced at you, then turned her gaze to Ye Chuxue and Lin Qi behind you.
"Little Junior Brother! You should know what the Blood Demon Secret Realm is like. Why did you bring outsiders here?"
Seeing Xia Qiange's displeased expression, you quickly explained that the Immortal Falling Secret Realm had been corrupted.
You added that you only needed her help to let Lin Qi break through to Core Formation, which wouldn't consume much spiritual energy. This time, the situation had simply been urgent, and you wouldn't come again.
After hearing your explanation, Xia Qiange still looked unhappy, but she didn't drive you away.
For your sake, she made an exception and allowed you to break through here, but only this once.
You watched Xia Qiange leave with a sour expression and felt helpless.
You had been left with no choice.
Three months later, Lin Qi successfully broke through to Core Formation.
Watching Lin Qi break through in just three months, you couldn't help marveling at the power of a supreme-grade Spiritual Root.
Almost the moment Lin Qi broke through, Xia Qiange's order to leave came from the depths of the secret realm.
Having achieved your goal, you hurriedly took the two of them away.
After leaving the secret realm, you told Ye Chuxue and Lin Qi to return to Green Prefecture first. You said you had to go back to Sword Pavilion.
The two nodded without hesitation and told you they would wait for you at Tianqi Academy.
After they left, you didn't go straight back to Sword Pavilion. That had just been an excuse to fob them off.
You stood guard at the entrance to the Blood Demon Secret Realm for two months. Then the entrance opened.
A figure flew out, spitting blood. You saw that it was Xia Qiange.
Another figure flew out right behind her: a man in black robes, with black pupils.
You sensed a powerful aura from him. Though he was also in the Void Refining Realm, like Xia Qiange, the Black-Clad Man's aura was clearly stronger.
"After a hundred thousand years, this honored one has finally escaped!"
......
"The spiritual energy in the outside world is still so delicious~!"
While the man closed his eyes and raised his head, savoring the spiritual energy around him, you used the Great Void Technique repeatedly to reach Xia Qiange's side and take her away.
At full strength, you carried Xia Qiange back to Sword Pavilion in just a few hours.
Looking at Xia Qiange, gravely injured and unconscious, you knew the worst had happened after all.
Over the past six months, only three of you had entered the Blood Demon Secret Realm. Without even thinking, the problem had to have come from Lin Qi or Ye Chuxue.
Lin Tian had just come out when he saw Xia Qiange covered in blood. He hurried over and asked what had happened.
"Little Junior Brother, what happened to you? Why is Senior Sister Xia so badly hurt?"
"Could anyone in You Prefecture have hurt Senior Sister Xia? Besides, wasn't she guarding the secret realm?"
As Lin Tian kept questioning you, you felt utterly helpless.
"Senior Brother Lin, something went wrong in the Blood Demon Secret Realm. The being beneath the Blood Tablet has escaped!"
"What? That Sinister Worm got out?"
"We're doomed, we're doomed! Hurry and find the Pavilion Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, you took Xia Qiange with you to the Pavilion Master's residence.
To your surprise, the Pavilion Master wasn't in Sword Pavilion.
"The Pavilion Master isn't here? At this rate, even if Senior Sister Xia doesn't die, the Sinister Worm will possess her!"
Watching Lin Tian pace back and forth, his face full of anxiety, you asked whether he knew of any other secret realms.
Lin Tian sighed at your question.
"Before you arrived, I was the one with the lowest cultivation. I only knew about the Immortal Falling Secret Realm and the Blood Demon Secret Realm."
"The only way to save Senior Sister Xia now is to go to Central Prefecture!"
At that, Lin Tian looked at you with a complicated expression.
"Little Junior Brother! I should be the one to save Senior Sister Xia, as her senior brother, but the situation is special. You're the only one who knows the Great Void Technique."
Hearing this, you immediately understood what he meant.
"I understand. I'll head to Central Prefecture at once!"
You carried Xia Qiange on your back and rushed toward Central Prefecture without stopping.
Just as you were about to leave the border of You Prefecture, you heard a soft, delicate voice by your ear.
"Ah~ What a fragrant soul. It must taste delicious!"
When the voice sounded in your ear, gooseflesh rose all over your body, and you immediately tried to throw Xia Qiange off your back.
But you found that you couldn't move. Xia Qiange was pinning you down, keeping you from moving.
"How should I savor such a delicious soul?"
With a wet squelch, your chest was pierced, and your consciousness began to blur.
You died!
