She was so shocked that she felt like she was struck by lightning. Her brain went blank for a long time before it came back to life.

Every familiar face in the Linggang Sect flashed through her mind: the elders, inner and outer sect disciples, servants from various places... none of them seemed like the hidden culprit.

Only that one person, after only meeting him once, made her instinctively feel dislike for him.

Intuition guided Nian Tu to think again and again about the sect leader who was always in seclusion.

However, how could the leader of a sect, the head of the righteous path, be a demonic cultivator who committed many evil deeds? !

Seeing her in a daze, the eldest brother frowned, "Old Four! Are you listening to me?"

"Ah, I'm listening," Nian Tu quickly came back to his senses, "but... Jiao..."

“Ahem!” The eldest coughed twice to interrupt her. “You have become more courageous since entering the secret realm. You even dare to mention this name! If the master hears you, he will tear you to pieces!”

Jiao is the master's mortal enemy. The master was seriously injured and has not recovered yet, all because of him.

"After the battle a hundred years ago, there has been no news of him. It is very likely that he was seriously injured like the master, and may have died. Just assume that he is dead. Do not mention him again in the future, especially in front of the master..."

The demon leader was still chattering, warning his unwise subordinates not to anger their master, but Nian Tu's eyes were wide open, his heart was beating wildly, and he was almost drowned in the huge amount of information.

A hundred years ago, a member of the Linggang Sect who had fought a dragon and was seriously injured and recuperated in seclusion...

Everything went incredibly smoothly. Before she had time to ask questions indirectly, she already knew the information she wanted to know most.

But, is he really the leader of Linggang Sect?

She couldn't believe it for a moment, and suspected that the demon leader in front of her had seen through her disguise and deliberately released false information to confuse her mind.

After a long silence, while the demon cultivator leader was coughing again due to the surging blood, Nian Tu spread out his palm and handed him a pill.

"Huh? Is it healing medicine?" The boss glanced at it and asked in confusion, "Where did it come from?"

Nian Tu shook the little rabbit in his hand, and he understood. Thinking that if he didn't take the opportunity to heal his wounds now, he might not be able to cope with the next fierce battle later, he took the pill and swallowed it, and told Lao Si to protect him.

He didn't know how this pill was made, it was incredibly bitter. He barely managed to hold it in and didn't spit it out, consoling himself that good medicine tastes bitter. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a while, but didn't feel any effect. He opened his eyes in confusion, "Old Four...?!"

The fourth one disappeared.

What caught my eye were two people standing side by side, a man and a woman. Who else could it be but Nian Tu and Xie Jili?

"You guys!" The demon cultivator leader felt his heart skip a beat, "Where's the fourth one?!"

Nian Tu did not answer his question, but only looked at him coldly and asked, "Is what you just said true?"

Just now...what did he say just now?

Suddenly realizing that he had accidentally revealed his master's secret, the demon cultivator leader was horrified and subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but he couldn't help but speak the truth, "It's true..."

???

what happened? !

He covered his mouth and pinched his neck in panic, but it was too late to make amends.

It's that pill!!

Things had developed to this point, and even if he was careless, he realized where things had gone wrong. He glared at Nian Tu fiercely, "Where's the fourth brother?"

As soon as he asked the question, he already had the answer in his mind.

The fourth brother might have died. He failed to complete the task assigned to him, and this little girl learned their tricks and used them as a trick.

Nian Tu's brows were tightly knitted together, still immersed in the shock of knowing that the leader of Linggang Sect was the mastermind behind all this. He had no time to answer his questions at all, and even had a string of questions he wanted to ask.

Was the real sect leader secretly replaced by a demon cultivator? Or did the sect leader himself become a demon cultivator?

When did it start? Why did he insist on biting Xie Jili?

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She raised her eyes, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she immediately threw out a spiritual chain.

There was no wind around, but sand and rocks were flying around, and the sky was full of yellow sand.

Although cultivators are not as easily blinded as mortals, their vision is still somewhat obstructed when they are caught off guard. Nian Tu only felt the chain smash several large rocks and hit nothing.

In just this short moment, the demon cultivator had half of his body buried in the ground and escaped underground.

He was obviously an earth spirit, and had also practiced some special method of escape. When he disappeared into the earth, it was as if he had merged with the earth, and it was impossible to find any trace of him.

Xie Jili slashed down with a sword, and the ground cracked inch by inch. Even the deep rocks were crushed into pieces, but he could not find any trace of demonic energy.

"This way," Nian Tu hurriedly pulled his arm.

The vast root systems of countless spiritual plants spread and expanded in the soil, quickly guiding her to the right path.

"Hurry up, don't let him get away."

All along, the enemy has been in the dark while we are in the light. They have been passive everywhere and always encountered plots. Now they have finally figured out who is behind the scenes, and they must not let any fish slip through the net and give him the opportunity to inform the master behind the scenes.

I don't know if it was due to the pressure of death or if his earth spirit roots were really good at escaping, but the demon cultivator boss was able to shrink the ground into an inch, drill very quickly, and change direction from time to time, which was even more annoying than a mouse digging a hole.

The two men lost count of how far they ran and how many detours they took before they finally caught him.

Flexible green vines rose from the ground, weaving into a net that dragged the sky and the earth. The exhausted demon cultivator leader was tied up like a dumpling, and a stream of sword energy pierced his chest cleanly.

His internal organs were all shattered by the sword energy and death was inevitable, but he did not die immediately. Instead, he gasped heavily and breathed like a broken bellows. He felt his remaining body temperature slowly dropping. There was no fear on his face, but instead he let out a hoarse laugh.

“You’re dead… You’re all dead… All of you…” He muttered neurotically, staring at the two of them without blinking his bloodshot eyes.

By leading these two people here, his goal has been achieved and he has completed his master's order!

As long as Xie Jili and Nian Tu died here, the master would definitely forgive him. He did not intentionally expose the master's identity... As long as they were both dead, the master would not know his mistake...

Thinking that his soul could rest in peace and dissipate naturally, and would not fall into the hands of his master and be trapped in endless punishment and torture, a kind of grateful peace emerged on the face of the demon leader, and he gradually calmed down.

After witnessing his breath completely disappear and solving a hidden danger, Nian Tu did not feel relaxed at all. Instead, his hair stood on end and alarm bells rang in his heart.

...forbidden area.

This is a forbidden area.

The dim sky and the dead silence of the desolate place all indicate that this place is unusual.

Before the secret realm was opened, the sect's predecessors passed on a lot of experience to the disciples who were entering the Dayan Secret Realm for the first time. One of the warnings was to warn them not to get close to the southernmost part of the secret realm. There was no grass growing within a thousand miles, and no one knew what terrible things were hidden there. Anyone who accidentally entered there seemed to never be able to leave.

Nian Tu looked around, his face a little pale.

Her instincts were always right, for good or ill.

Almost at the moment when she felt something was wrong, a violent shock came, and the sky and the earth spun in an instant, as if the whole world was shaking.

At the same time, there came an overwhelming sense of oppression, like a mountain pressing down on one's head.

Something is about to appear...

“Nian Nian!”, Xie Jili’s usually calm face showed anxiety, “Leave the secret realm now!”

immediately!

Hearing his call, Nian Tu struggled hard to get out of the severe dizziness and tried his best to crush the teleportation talisman he carried with him.

Time seemed to be extremely long. One second, two seconds passed... Suddenly, she felt as if a long time had passed. The horrible shock did not disappear, and she was still standing there.

Xie Jili's face suddenly became very ugly, but he responded quickly. He stuffed his teleportation talisman into her palm without hesitation, wrapped his big palm around her hand, and crushed it for her.

"..."

The worst possible scenario happened.

This is also an invalid teleportation talisman.

If one was ineffective, it could be an accident, but if both were ineffective, it meant someone had deliberately designed it to trap them in the Dayan Secret Realm forever and prevent them from leaving.

Ju Wei, who sent them the teleportation talisman, is the sect master's direct disciple... I don't know if they are birds of a feather or if they are forced to do so.

These were all Nian Tu had time to think about before he lost consciousness.

A more intense dizziness surged up like a tide, and her figure shook several times. Finally, she could not hold on any longer and turned into a little rabbit with a "bang".

Xie Jili was quick-witted and rushed forward to catch her——

A pale, bony hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere, took the lead and grabbed the falling rabbit in the palm of its hand in mid-air.

"!!!"

If the oppressive feeling just now was like a mountain pressing down on one's head, then at this moment, what was pressing down on one's head was an entire endless mountain range.

Xie Jili had experienced this feeling of being on the verge of death before, at the hands of the leader of the Linggang Sect who wiped out his entire family, and at the hands of the Sword Master's ruthless sword.

With the creaking sound of his bones, he raised his head with difficulty and saw a strange man.

The black hair was flowing like a waterfall, the eyes were red, the face was beautiful and strange, and the slender neck was covered with layers of blood-colored magic patterns that were winding and circling. At first glance, the visual impact was extremely strong.

Xie Jili's pupils suddenly shrank.

He could never forget this pattern until his death.

But although they were exactly the same, the magic pattern on this person was slightly different from the one on the enemy's robe in his memory. As for where exactly it was different, he couldn't explain it clearly.

If Nian Tu was awake, he could describe it accurately -

It's a feeling that pirated products pale in comparison to the genuine ones.

Jiao naturally noticed that the guy in front of him was staring at him, but he didn't care at all. He didn't even look at him and was only concentrating on playing with the furry thing he had just caught in his hand.

With small ears, a short tail, and four fat legs curled together, it looks like a round ball.

...So soft.
