Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 66 A Plan to Turn the Tide, the Black Water Serpent Appears!
Biyao stared intently at Lu Xueqi in front of her, her smile slowly fading, replaced by a serious expression.

Because her injuries had not yet fully healed, Lu Xueqi's face was slightly pale, making the originally aloof and ethereal fairy appear more delicate and weak, adding to her pitiful and moving charm, which could arouse a man's protective instincts.

Especially the blush on her face, which makes her look like a celestial maiden from a folk tale who has fallen into mortal love, can arouse a man's sense of accomplishment.

"As expected of a fox spirit from the Joyful Union Sect!"

Biyao cursed inwardly. With Lu Xueqi's appearance, she didn't even need to say a word. A single glance or a faint smile was enough to drive men crazy for her.

Not to mention, this vixen actually took the initiative to abandon her reserve. Tell me, what man in this world could resist that?
Youji also noticed that Biyao harbored great hostility towards Lu Xueqi, so she stepped forward, gently pulled Biyao aside, and said with a smile to Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi.

"Young Master Zhang and Fairy Lu, you must have come here to find that Blood Cave, right?"

Lu Xueqi was greatly shocked upon hearing this. She had not expected that this group of demonic cultists actually had a special purpose.

Zhang Xiaofan gently put his arm around Lu Xueqi, appearing to be a loving couple, but in reality, he was worried about Lu Xueqi's reaction. You Ji and Bi Yao noticed something amiss.

Zhang Xiaofan was overthinking this. After You Ji's imagination, she and Bi Yao were already convinced that Lu Xueqi was the successor of the Hehuan Sect.

Regardless of Lu Xueqi's reaction, Youji would only speculate based on the perspectives of the Hehuan Sect and Lu Xueqi, and would never consider any other possibilities.

"Could it be that the Ghost King Sect members already have a lead?"

Zhang Xiaofan chuckled lightly, not answering You Ji's question, but instead asking You Ji and Bi Yao in return.

To You Ji, this was undoubtedly an admission, but to Lu Xueqi, it showed that her junior brother was calm, collected, and quick-witted.

"We had just come down and hadn't had time to investigate when we heard the sound of a flute. So we followed the sound and found Young Hero Zhang and Fairy Lu."

Youji spoke softly, the mysterious black veil obscuring her expression, but her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Zhang Xiaofan.

In fact, Youji, Biyao, and the others have been here for some time now.

They followed Zhang Xiaofan and the others in, but unlike Zhang Xiaofan and the others, You Ji, as the Vermilion Bird Saint Envoy, had read the Blood Refining Hall's records and knew the way to the Abyss of the Dead.

When the Blood Refining Hall activated its mechanisms and chaos ensued, Youji, Biyao, and the others quickly made their way to the bottom of the Dead Spirit Abyss via the secret passage.

However, after searching for a while without finding anything, they heard the sound of a flute coming from this place, so they came looking for it.

"I wonder if Young Hero Zhang and Fairy Lu have made any discoveries?"

Faced with You Ji's questioning, Zhang Xiaofan looked down at Lu Xueqi, who was still injured and was being held in his arms. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was clear: Lu Xueqi needed to heal, so he hadn't examined her yet.

Seeing this, Youji couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

In Youji's opinion, Lu Xueqi, the successor of the Hehuan Sect, probably knew more about the Blood Refining Hall than she did, and might even know the location of the Blood Dripping Cave.

Biyao looked at Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan, who were snuggling together, and with a slight twitch of her eyes, she took the initiative to invite the two of them.

"Since we all share the same goal, why don't we act together?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi glanced at those smiling eyes, then looked up at Zhang Xiaofan.

She knew nothing about any of this, and Lu Xueqi was well aware that, apart from her cultivation level being barely comparable to her junior brother's, she should be more obedient and listen to him in other aspects. "I'd be more than happy to."

Zhang Xiaofan glanced down at Lu Xueqi. Since Youji and the others had no doubts about their identities, they might as well play along. He then looked up at Biyao and Youji and said with a light laugh.

"please!"

Youji gestured for them to proceed, but Zhang Xiaofan gently helped Lu Xueqi walk to Biyao's side, causing Youji's eyes to narrow.

"Saint Envoy of the Vermilion Bird, please!"

After meeting Zhang Xiaofan's deep eyes for a moment, Youji paused. She naturally understood that Zhang Xiaofan was on guard against her. If she dared to take the opportunity to make a move against Lu Xueqi, he would be able to quickly take down Biyao.

As expected of someone from the Joyful Union Sect, they are truly cunning!
After this thought flashed through Youji's mind, she could only lead the five Ghost King Sect disciples and follow Biyao on the other side, which could be considered a compromise.

The group, each with their own ulterior motives, walked together for a while until they heard the sound of rippling water, and they arrived at a bend in the river.

"Is this the Sea of ​​Heartlessness?"

Hearing the sound of the waves, Biyao paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke. Youji remained silent for a moment before sighing softly.

"Love only leads to the suffering of heartlessness. Indeed, this is the most mysterious of the five seas, the 'Sea of ​​Heartlessness.' I wonder, young hero Zhang, how much do you know about this Sea of ​​Heartlessness?"

As she spoke, Youji turned to Zhang Xiaofan and asked him a question. However, although she was asking Zhang Xiaofan, her gaze was fixed on Lu Xueqi.

Clearly, in Youji's eyes, Lu Xueqi is still the most mysterious and troublesome person, and she probably knows the most about her, while Zhang Xiaofan is just a sword being manipulated.

However, Lu Xueqi's face remained aloof and cold, and Youji couldn't detect anything unusual.

"The Heartless Sea lies deep underground, the Sea of ​​the Nine Netherworlds. Legend has it that beyond the Heartless Sea lies the depths of the Nine Netherworlds, where the land of reincarnation is said to be. However, these are just legends and should not be taken seriously."

Zhang Xiaofan stepped forward, blocking You Ji's gaze, and spoke in a seemingly serious tone, with a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he spoke.

"The Land of Reincarnation?"

Upon hearing this, Biyao looked at Zhang Xiaofan with surprise. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Zhang Xiaofan suddenly wrap his arm around Lu Xueqi's waist and lift her up. Before Lu Xueqi could blush, Zhang Xiaofan lightly touched the ground with his toes and suddenly stepped back.

"Biyao, retreat quickly!"

Upon seeing this, You Ji, who had been on guard against Zhang Xiaofan, immediately shouted urgently and retreated rapidly.

Upon hearing this, Biyao was startled, but she always respected Youji, so she retreated without hesitation.

As Youji and Biyao retreated, they also looked up at the dark sea in front of them, only to see a huge black shadow suddenly attacking.

The next moment, the five yellow-clad men, who hadn't even had time to react, were instantly blown into clouds of blood mist by the sweeping black shadow.

Lu Xueqi, who was leaning against Zhang Xiaofan's chest, looked up and saw this scene. Her eyes narrowed suddenly, and a look of shock flashed across her face. Fortunately, neither Youji nor Biyao noticed this scene.
