Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

Everyone fell silent.

Su Tingyu pondered, "If this passage was truly left by Jiang Queli, does that mean he had already thought of completely disrupting the existing order between the human and demonic realms decades ago? Was it simply out of revenge?"

This sounds like something that a madman like Jiang Queli could do.

"I don't think so." Shen Qiao suddenly denied it.

"I agree." Gu Xu also agreed with Shen Qiao's judgment.

"Be realistic, guys. The barrier between the human and demon worlds was formed with divine power. Even if someone wanted to destroy it, it would require at least seven or eight cultivators above the level of the Mu Ze Mirror. Let's assume, for example, that they did find a way to circumvent the barrier. Given the ruthlessness of the Xiyuan people, they dug out this passage. Why didn't they use it when they were cornered? Wouldn't it have been much easier to just lure the demons into the human world and have both sides suffer? Why did they have to hide for decades, waiting for the royal family to calm down before desperately trying to destroy the barrier between the human and demon worlds?"

Some people in the group nodded slowly and unconsciously.

"And the most important point." Gu Xu knocked on the earth wall beside him.

"The soil around here is getting fresher the further you go. I'd believe the first half was dug out decades ago, but I just used my spiritual power to probe forward. The soil behind it was only dug out three years ago at most."

"New soil?" Everyone was surprised.

"Yes." Gu Xu nodded. "My earth spirit can accurately sense the underground situation within a radius of 100 miles with me as the center. Judging from the feedback just now, the part of the tunnel after entering the Demon Realm is indeed newly dug."

Zhu Yu pondered, "Three years ago...wasn't that when the demon world was rioting and the barrier had problems?"

"When the barrier was investigated, they only said it was destroyed from the inside by the demons. The barrier in question was quite far away, and Xiyuan had long been abandoned, so no one thought of coming here to investigate."

If the incident of the "waiter" had not attracted attention and been investigated, and if Jiang Queli had not set up a trap to lead everyone here, this passage would never have been discovered.

"Jiang Queli personally admitted that someone else had visited him before us, and his description was also very strange—'a dead person.'"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent again, and the whole thing suddenly became weird.

Shen Qiao continued to explain, "Perhaps the people of Xiyuan did intend to dig a tunnel to the Demon Realm, but they ran out of time and couldn't execute it, so this person came along and helped them realize it. If this person is 'dead', then it seems reasonable that they could bypass the barrier and enter the Demon Realm through underground."

"I remember Master said that the barrier is always used to protect against living things." Zhang Zhi said.

"Invisible dead things have no physical form, and therefore cannot be sensed by ordinary spiritual powers... They are indeed not bound by this barrier."

"But according to the rules..." Zhang Zhi became increasingly excited as he spoke, his brows furrowed. "Don't all dead things in Qingzhou enter the underworld for reincarnation? How could a 'dead person' come out and dig a passage here, and one who knows both soul magic and witchcraft? This is too ridiculous!"

Zhang Zhi's words made Luo Dai's face turn pale unconsciously, and Shen Qiao noticed that she unconsciously took half a step back.

Was this also the first time she knew that this "Him" was a "dead person"?

Shen Qiao closed her eyes. She always felt that Jiang Queli's last sentence was a little strange.

"But I still like you the way you are now. If it's okay..."

"I want to see your female form."

Since he likes his current masculine appearance, shouldn't the second half of the sentence be a contrast to the first? Shouldn't it be "If possible, I'd rather see your female form."

But why did he say "I want to see your female side"? The two sentences are parallel emotions.

Shen Qiao's mind was a little confused.

"What's wrong?" Li Yue subconsciously helped her up when he saw that she was not in good spirits.

"It's okay." Shen Qiao shook his head.

Li Yue frowned and raised his hand to touch her forehead - it was burning hot.

"You don't look like you're okay."

Shen Qiao: "...What?"

"You have a fever." Li Yue was a little anxious, and then went to call Shang Mian over.

"No!" Shen Qiao held Li Yue's hand and looked at her with burning eyes, "It's the exact words I just said."

"What did I say... Oh. I said: You don't look like you're okay."

Appearance...appearance doesn't just refer to looks.

Shen Qiao felt a chill on his back.

Jiang Queli was reminding her through these words that he liked her current state?!

Why did he say "I like her now"? Has he seen her in other states? What did he really mean?

"Meditation."

A sudden warning sounded in my mind.

These two words instantly brought Shen Qiao back to her senses, and she realized that everyone was looking at her.

Shang Mian frowned at her condition, "Your mental power is overdrawn. Retract the mental network. You can't keep it spread out like this."

Overdraft? How could that be? She had only just explored Jiang Queli's soul.

"Jiang Queli's realm is higher than yours." Wang You's voice answered her doubts in time.

"It's just a sentence. Whether you want to understand it or not will not have any impact on the current situation." Wang You's calm voice echoed in Shen Qiao's mind.

"How do you know everything?" Shen Qiao couldn't help but ask, calming himself.

"How can I be your master if I don't know anything?" Wang You asked back.

"Don't worry about anything else. After you kids come out of the Demon Realm, go to the nearest post station and wait. Most of these post stations are run by the demon race. The people from the Demon Realm won't attack you in a post station run by the demon race just because you are cultivators."

"Remember, don't come out when you get there. We'll contact you then."

"Wait at the post station? Wait for what?" Shen Qiao was puzzled, but when she asked again, Wang You cut off contact with her.

This guy......

Shen Qiao felt like she was losing her sight. Before she completely lost consciousness, she looked at Mu Jiu and repeated what he had said, "Master wants us to go to the inn run by the demon tribe and wait, wait..."

Wait...

It’s over. I’m used to it and can’t keep up the conversation.

She only felt a buzzing in her ears, and then everything in front of her eyes went completely black.

"Shen Qiao!?"

Ah, it crashed again.

Shen Qiao originally thought that after he fainted, he could still float in his sea of ​​consciousness as before, but unfortunately this time he seemed to have overdrawn his soul, and he didn't even enter the sea of ​​consciousness, but went straight into his dream.

"I told you, you did a great job."

Xiyan's voice?

"It's okay. This is something you have to go through. Think about it slowly, before 'that person' can't help but interfere..."

"Hold the choice in your own hands."
