Qin Lingsu's choice left everyone in disbelief.
Everyone looked at Qin Lingsu, but all they saw on her face was composure, as if she hadn't said those words at all.
However, just by looking at Qin Lingsu's actions, her intentions are quite obvious.
She walked slowly and deliberately to Lin Xuan's side, demonstrating her thoughts through her actions.
To Yu Wei, this scene was a blatant slap in the face.
His face turned pale and then flushed, his entire demeanor became tense, and his jaw was clenched so tightly that you could hear the sound of his teeth grinding together.
Anger burned in his eyes.
Yu Wei had never imagined that he could be so humiliated!
No sooner had he expressed his preference than Qin Lingsu, whom he had always admired, showed no respect and directly chose to follow that good-for-nothing from the Supreme Institute!
Yes, Lin Xuan's strength does seem decent; he's not exactly a waste.
But how does it compare to myself?
What else could it be but trash!
All the effort he put into Qin Lingsu was for nothing, and she treated him like this...
In an instant, the anger at losing face, coupled with Qin Lingsu's rejection of his betrayal, ignited a fire of fury in Yu Wei's heart.
He gritted his teeth and forced out a few words.
"Good."
"Okay, okay!"
"You'll all regret this!"
"Let's go!"
With a group of people and his anger still burning inside, Yu Wei turned and disappeared down the road on the left.
Qin Lingsu's expression remained calm.
She didn't care about Yu Wei's thoughts or other people's opinions at all. As a rare beauty in Heaven-Reaching Institute, how could she have entered Primordial Holy Heaven if she were just a pretty face?
Moreover, the demons on the Demon Battlefield don't care whether you're ugly or beautiful.
She's capable of protecting herself, so why does she insist on following Yu Wei?
Qin Lingsu thought so, but she was too lazy to explain. She calmly observed every plant and tree around her. Everything in the ancient hall could be quickly and accurately judged for its value.
And she and Lin Xuan thought about roughly the same thing.
The right-hand passage is dangerous, but fortune can be found in peril.
Even if all else fails, there are still demons to kill. Although the demons here are powerful, they are much weaker compared to the demons outside.
Even if one doesn't get fortuitous opportunity, killing more demons will still earn them resources or allow them to accumulate materials for refining. Either way, it's good.
Lin Xuan was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that Qin Lingsu, who seemed to be always with Yu Wei, would choose his side.
But then he thought about it again and decided it didn't matter.
Regardless of Qin Lingsu's thoughts, or whether she was simple or not, or what her intentions were, the path was there, and he couldn't simply block others from walking it.
Lin Xuan didn't care, and naturally, the others didn't say anything either.
Moreover, Qin Lingsu has a pretty good reputation in the academy.
Many of the medicinal herb gathering quests within the quest hall were completed by her.
The reward is often a good elixir.
She is both a sword cultivator and Alchemist.
Therefore, most people had a positive impression of Qin Lingsu.
The group remained silent, each taking out array plates, compasses, or spirit swords to protect themselves. They carefully gathered together and ventured deeper into the interior step by step.
The further they went, the more violently the compass in Wen Ling's hand trembled, and the more solemn his expression became.
"Such a strong demonic aura!"
This compass is used to detect the concentration of demonic energy.
Judging from the current situation, there must be a great demon inside.
Moreover, the roads here are becoming increasingly broken and mottled. The Azure Flame Stone, which is said to be unburnt by earth fire, is crumbling into pieces and scattered everywhere.
If they were left outside, they would be happy to take some, even though these Azure Flame Stone are broken. Once melted, they can still be used to forge decent Law Artifact.
However, the atmosphere here was too tense. Everyone was on guard, and looking at the remnants of the battle between cultivators and demons, even if they had greedy thoughts, they forcibly restrained themselves.
Moreover, time did not allow them to relax while collecting Stone.
As they ventured deeper, they encountered more and more demons, and their strength increased exponentially, almost in a stepwise manner.
Even more surprisingly, Holy Mark have appeared on some demons...
At first, they were able to manage, but the more they went on, the more difficult it became.
Even if it means having time to recover some Spiritual Power, let alone having a free hand to pick up Stone, it's still a good thing.
Fortunately, there was Qin Lingsu. The pills she distributed helped Wen Ling and the others hold on for a little longer.
By helping others, she is naturally helping herself.
Otherwise, she alone wouldn't have been able to make it to the end.
As for Lin Xuan...
These demons were no match for him at all.
However, at Wen Ling's request, Lin Xuan did not take action, but simply watched from the sidelines, providing support for them.
Wen Ling's words were sincere, and his reasons were extremely appropriate.
"Although we have come here under Brother Lin's protection, we cannot trouble you with everything. We can kill these demons ourselves, so let us do it. When we are truly powerless, then Brother Lin can take action."
"It can be seen as a test for us."
Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled.
However, just as Wen Ling and the others were panting and had killed a demon, and were about to continue forward, Lin Xuan suddenly raised his hand and stopped them.
"Wait a minute."
He stopped everyone.
Although they didn't understand why, Wen Ling and the others obediently stopped and looked around nervously.
At that moment, the seemingly calm road ahead suddenly collapsed and broke, completely destroying the road paved with Azure Flame Stone.
From the gap that had been torn open, a demon with a blue face and fangs roared and poked its head out. Its scarlet eyes were filled with killing intent and bloodlust. Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, its aura rose steadily!
The countless arrays attached to the surrounding area began to groan under the strain.
Creak.
Creak.
Snap--
In an instant, all the formations collapsed, and the aura of that demon suddenly surged to its peak!
At this moment, the demon's aura was full and rounded; it hardly looked like it had been trapped and tormented for so long.
Qin Lingsu's gaze fell upon the markings on the demon's body, her expression changed, and she cried out in alarm, "Not good! Five-Mark Demon, retreat quickly!!"
Overwhelmed by the aura of the demon, everyone was terrified. This was Five-Mark Demon!
When they finally regained control of their bodies and tried to retreat, they discovered that the path behind them had also collapsed.
The passage behind them was swarming with demons, some even with one or two markings.
The road ahead is blocked.
There was no way to retreat.
them...
Danger!!
