This female leader is a little bit stronger

Chen Jiaqian still hesitated, "But..."

Ning Ye sighed, "Jia Qian, if you were a peerless expert, would your uncle still be injured?"

Chen Jiaqian: ...

After thinking about it, it seems not.

Ning Ye clenched his fist and encouraged him, "Only the strong can protect!"

After a bowl of chicken soup, the fat boy finally understood.

"Boss, you're right. I shouldn't back down! I want to join the Xuanxian Dao Sect, cultivate to become an unrivaled expert, and protect my uncle from now on!"

Chen Wuyuan slowly woke up:???

Is it that he can't lift the sword anymore?

Need a younger generation to protect you?

"Old Chen, you're awake!" Zhao Heng's voice came from the side.

Chen Wuyuan turned his head and was shocked, "Who are you?"

Zhao Heng: ...

It felt like another arrow had hit my broken heart.

He should go wash his face.

While the few of them were joking around, Ning Ye came to the edge of the platform and stuck his head out to look down.

It was pitch black underneath, and I didn't know how deep it was.

There was a sound of water coming up, so there must be a large pool of water below.

Chen Jiaqian saw Ning Ye looking down at him, and his heart tightened. "Boss, you're not thinking about going any further, are you? Please don't do anything stupid!"

Although she is very powerful, there is a dominant monster underneath!

Ning Ye shook his head, walked back, and sat opposite Chen Wuyuan. "Describe the monster to me."

Chen Wuyuan raised his eyes and asked, "Are you really planning to take advantage of it?"

Ning Ye remained silent.

Chen Wuyuan said: "The one below is a young fish, belonging to the water element, and it has the strength of a golden elixir."

Low-level demon beasts are roughly equivalent to the Qi Condensation Stage of human cultivators, high-level demon beasts are at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and overlord-level demon beasts are at the Golden Core Stage. Above that, there's the Commander-level, corresponding to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Ning Ye asked, "How many Overlords are there in the Stone Creek Secret Realm?"

Chen Wuyuan shook his head. "I don't know. No one has ever noticed. Why are you asking?"

Ning Ye thought for a moment and said, "Remember that flying python? Its territory is in the bamboo forest, which is of the wood element. Under the extinct volcano that Zhao Heng and I went to, there's a fire-attributed red flame monster bird. Add to that the water-attributed fish here, and three of the five elements—water, fire, and wood—have appeared. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Chen Wuyuan and Zhao Heng frowned at the same time.

They had not paid attention to such things, but once Ning Ye reminded them, they couldn't help but feel something was strange.

The two looked at each other and said in unison, "The Land of the Five Elements."

This touched upon Ning Ye's blind spot in knowledge.

Ning Ye humbly asked them to explain in detail.

"Let me tell you." Zhao Heng spoke. As a direct disciple of a sect elder, he was exposed to a higher level than Chen Wuyuan.

"The Five Elements Land is divided into natural Five Elements Land and man-made Five Elements Land. Natural Five Elements Land is naturally surrounded by the Five Elements Qi. There is no Five Elements Qi in the Stone Creek Secret Realm, so it must be a man-made Five Elements Land. The man-made Five Elements Land is not a blessed land, but a large formation! Five monsters with different attributes are used as the formation's core, forming a huge Five Elements formation."

"If the Stone Creek Secret Realm is truly a man-made Five Elements land, then a great terror must be sealed here!"

Zhao Heng paused for a moment, "Junior sister and the others are going to kill the flying python. If they succeed and break the Five Elements Formation, the consequences will be..."

Ning Ye asked again: "Chen Suxin has already obtained at least one Xuanxian Order, why does she need so many?"

Zhao Heng said, "You may not know that, openly, anyone who obtains a Xuanxian Token can join the Xuanxian Dao Sect, but there is also a hidden rule that is not widely known. That is, if you obtain one token, you can become an outer disciple; if you obtain two, you become an inner disciple; and if someone obtains three, they will become a direct disciple!"

Ning Ye pinched his chin, "No wonder."

She asked why Chen Suxin spread the rumor that Zhao Heng died in a snake's belly.

It turns out that the original purpose was to instigate fellow disciples to kill the flying python.

The clue that leads to the "Sea of ​​Bamboo" is hidden in the treasure chest.

However, Chen Suxin knew about it in advance. Apart from the protagonist telling her, the only possibility was that she had already obtained a treasure chest.

"Auntie is very ambitious." Ning Ye murmured.

"I'm going to stop her!" Zhao Heng stood up quickly.

Ning Ye said in a chilling tone, "Go ahead. Believe it or not, as soon as you show up, your junior sister will kill you and feed you to the snakes without hesitation, proving your lie."

Zhao Heng's face turned pale and then red, and then red and then pale, and he sat back in shame and anger.

Chen Wuyuan laughed at him, "I told you to open your eyes, but you didn't believe me."

Zhao Heng's face flushed, "It was obviously you who did the wrong thing first!"

"Idiot!" Chen Wuyuan was speechless. The fool was still stubborn and refused to change his ways.

Zhao Heng immediately drew his sword, "Chen Wuyuan, when your injury is healed, let's fight him in single combat!"

Chen Jiaqian didn't want to watch them fight, he just wanted to watch the show, so he took the initiative to ask, "Uncle Zhao, what exactly happened to you guys back then?"

Zhao Heng and Chen Wuyuan spoke at the same time: "Children, don't ask about adults' affairs!"

Ning Ye covered Chen Jiaqian's ears with her hands at this time, and looked at them with bright eyes, as if saying: Look, the child can't hear, you can speak now.

Zhao Heng, Chen Wuyuan: ...

Doesn't she think of herself as a child?

Chen Wuyuan remained silent.

Zhao Heng took a deep breath and said, "There's nothing I can't say."

Recalling that night a few years ago, Chen Suxin found him broken-hearted, having lost her innocence, and cried bitterly.

"She said she only saw you as a brother, but you bullied her and didn't want to take responsibility..."

Chen Wuyuan rolled his eyes. "You believe everything she says? Why don't you believe me? I said I didn't do anything."

Zhao Heng paused and said angrily, "What woman would joke about her own reputation? Besides, you were drunk that night and acted impulsively, so it's possible..."

"I was pretending to be drunk." Chen Wuyuan said, "If you don't believe me, ask Jia Qian. It happened to be his birthday that day."

Chen Jiaqian's ears had long been opened by Ning Ye, and he was quietly eating melons. Hearing this, his head was pounding like garlic, "Yes, my uncle is not drunk. He wanted to drag me up to practice sword fighting in the middle of the night."

Zhao Heng: ...

So he was the one who was blamed?

After being hit hard by the truth, Zhao Heng went to the side to find Jingjing.

Chen Wuyuan turned his gaze to the calm Ning Ye and flicked his tongue. "Ning girl, have you made any other discoveries about the Five Elements Land?"

Ning Ye played dumb, "What did you find?"

"Hunter and eagle." Chen Wuyuan hinted.

He still remembered what Ning Ye said at the beginning - the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Obviously, the mantis and the oriole referred to Chen Suxin and Xie Chengyun respectively.

But she said she was not a bird, but a hunter.

So, who is the eagle?

Ning Ye smiled and said nothing.

Chen Jiaqian looked at his uncle, then at his boss... No, what were they talking about?

Why can't I understand a word?

……

Like the deep bamboo forest.

Chen Suxin led the disciples of Xuanming Sect to surround the flying python's nest, set up the Luotian formation, and threw all kinds of attack magic weapons into it without any cost, weakening the flying python's power bit by bit.

They didn't notice that the sky above the Stone Creek Secret Realm was changing rapidly, with dark clouds gathering and the sky seemed to be falling down.
