Sang Ying, Die!
"So the Scarlet Blood Grass is formed from the blood of a guardian Demon Beast after it has been defeated. No wonder it's so hard to find; even you didn't discover any trace of it before."
Seeing the Scarlet Blood Grass blooming so luxuriantly, as if it had been enchanted by magic, Sang Ying couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
She had previously thought that Jiang Zhuoxue's Divine Sense was not wide enough, but now she realized that the Scarlet Blood Grass simply hadn't grown yet.
There was a lot of Scarlet Blood Grass growing here, and Sang Ying only picked the most lush clump, which looked the darkest in color. This clump had more than ten plants, which should be enough for Jiang Zhuoxue to recover.
She carefully placed the Scarlet Blood Grass into a jade box, and then put the jade box into Jiang Zhuoxue's Storage Bag.
Jiang Zhuoxue was unaware that Sang Ying had found the spirit medicine for her, and asked curiously, "Why is it here with me? Shouldn't it be with you?"
The good things the two of them found these days were all kept with Sang Ying, and Jiang Zhuoxue had also promised Sang Ying that she would not leave this place for the next hundred years.
Sang Ying didn't explain to him, only saying, "I'll keep it with you for now, and I'll ask you for it later."
I just wonder if, ten thousand years from now, you'll still remember this promise we made today.
Without telling Jiang Zhuoxue about her plans, Sang Ying quickly packed her things and prepared to leave with him.
Having found the most important item, the group could now freely explore the secret realm.
The cave on the way back was much brighter than the one on the way there; the dead Demon Beast probably still had the ability to devour light. Such a strange Demon Beast —who knows what it was?
If Sang Ying had more time, she would have loved to stay and learn more.
The two had only walked halfway back when Sang Ying, who was walking behind, suddenly stopped.
Jiang Zhuoxue also paused, and turned around curiously to ask, "What's wrong?"
His gaze toward Sang Ying was filled with worry.
Sang Ying shook her head. "It's nothing, I'm just checking if any Demon Beast are lurking around."
Almost the instant Jiang Zhuoxue turned around, Sang Ying silently hid her left hand. He was easily appeased by Sang Ying's answer, and then turned around and walked towards the cave entrance not far away.
Sang Ying, walking behind him, stretched out her left hand and frowned silently as she looked at her barely visible fingers.
It seems her time is almost up; she probably won't be able to stay with Jiang Zhuoxue any longer.
Sang Ying sighed softly, a sigh that remained in the empty cave, unheard by anyone.
The approaching footsteps of the two quickly caught the attention of Wuyue Qing and her companion, who were lying in ambush outside. Under the effect of the high-level concealment talisman, Sang Ying and the others were completely unaware of the impending danger.
Almost as soon as the two stepped out of the cave, Wuyue Qing urged Wuyue Wenren to make a move.
But they were still a step too slow. The Spring-Heralding Bird leaped down from the high branch, and countless wind blades slashed through the air, causing Wuyue Wenren's sneak attack to miss instantly.
Sang Ying and Wu Yue, who were initially unprepared, immediately realized something was wrong. By the time Wuyue Wenren made their move again, Sang Ying's Floating River Sword had already struck, and her arm was instantly grazed by the sharp Sword Qi.
Sang Ying's Sword Qi energy was quite powerful; it merely grazed Wuyue Wenren's arm, leaving a long scar.
If Wuyue Wenren dodged quickly, his right forearm would probably have been sliced off.
Wuyue Qing watched as Wuyue Wenren made only two moves, which were either blocked or returned to his own hands.
They had seen Sang Ying the arena before, but due to the formation, they hadn't actually witnessed her making a move, leading them to believe she was just a cultivator with slightly better talent.
Before coming here to ambush them, Wuyue Qing was full of confidence. After all, even though Sang Ying had already reached the Golden Core, Wuyue Wenren's cultivation was equivalent to that of a cultivator from another world at the Golden Core Late Stage, and there wasn't much difference between the two.
However, at this moment, Wuyue Qing and the others clearly realized Sang Ying's strength with just one move.
Wuyue Qing couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. If she had known Sang Ying was so powerful, she would never have chosen to confront her head-on. But it was too late for regrets now; the bird had ruined their plan, and there was no longer any chance of ambushing Sang Ying.
"What do you two mean by this? The person who said they would separate from us has actually been following us all this time?" Although the two had concealment talismans, Sang Ying had after all reached the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage. These days, she had felt as if someone was watching her, but she couldn't find the person no matter what.
Now it's clear that Wuyue Qing and her companion have been following them all along, waiting for their chance to strike.
Now that she'd been discovered, Wuyue Qing decided to be blunt. "You two are so lucky to have encountered the Spring-Heralding Bird. You must have found quite a few good things along the way, right? We're all cultivators from the Lower Realm; we should help each other out. Why don't you share some of what you've gotten with us?"
"Give you some? You wouldn't just want a little, would you?" Sang Ying was almost laughing in anger. Did these two really think she wouldn't take action?
"If Sang Ying is so generous, we are naturally willing to accept this gift," Wuyue Qing replied without hesitation.
These words sounded utterly shameless, and not only Sang Ying, but even Jiang Zhuoxue and the Spring-Heralding Bird were furious.
Sang Ying sneered, "Trying to snatch something from me? You're not capable!"
As soon as she finished speaking, icy blue Sword Qi and invisible wind blades attacked the two of them together, instantly stirring up countless pieces of rubble. The wind blades were easy to dodge, but Sang Ying's Sword Qi swept across them directly, leaving them with almost no way to avoid it.
In the end, it was Wuyue Wenren who risked his life to block the attack for Wuyue Qing, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood and becoming barely breathing.
Wuyue Qing was stunned by this attack. She knew very well that if she couldn't escape, she would definitely not get the better of Sang Ying.
She touched the item hidden at her waist, gritted her teeth, and hesitated, unsure whether she should make her move at this moment.
Finally, despite the excruciating pain, Wuyue Wenren spoke up, "Young Master, let's do it. We absolutely cannot let Sang Ying leave the secret realm alive!"
Yes, how could she forget? Her family had offended Sang Ying so badly; if she were to leave alive, Moonless Household still have a place to stand?
Wuyue Qing looked up at the two people in front of her, and finally made up her mind to take out the thunder pill that she had hidden at her waist for a long time.
If this thing goes down, the two people in front of her will definitely die. Although she won't be able to get what Sang Ying is holding, it doesn't matter, their Image-Retaining Stone will definitely be destroyed as well.
Wuyue Qing closed her eyes briefly, and secretly took out a talisman for escaping into the ground with her other hand.
Sang Ying, go to hell!
While those people were not paying attention, Wu Yueqing threw the purple thunder pill violently. She then tore open the Earth Escape Talisman and instantly teleported her and Wu Yue Wenren hundreds of miles away.
A deafening roar came from behind, and at that moment Wuyue Qing felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration!
Those two people with terrifying luck are finally dead. Now, there should be no one to stop the Moonless Clan from ruling this city!
