My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Jinhua Cat opened its mouth, staring at the two-headed fire-phosphorus python with a half-smile: "You two know each other?"

"Nothing but ants!" The two-headed fire phosphorescent python ignored Ruan Luo and the other two. It manipulated the Azure Mist Fan and fanned it three times, causing a tornado to rise from the ground. Qiu Xicheng and the survivors within were in imminent danger.

Luo Hanying screamed at the top of her lungs, "I don't know her! I don't know her! We don't know each other!"

Ruan Chayan called out twice, trying to awaken Qin Fansheng's humanity: "We are the survivors of the Opening Heaven Gate, Your Excellency! You saved us! Spare our lives!"

Upon seeing this, the Jinhua cat hissed and quickly retracted its tail to prevent innocent people from being implicated.

Facing the eye of the storm, Luo Hanying's cultivation was truly inadequate; she choked on a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Ruan Chayan felt as if her body was incredibly heavy, as if she was about to explode from being wrapped and squeezed by her tail.

She noticed the unconscious Luo Hanying, her eyes filled with tears: "Why did we have to encounter such an undeserved disaster!"

Looking at the crumbling Qiuxi City and the half-dead human cultivators scattered everywhere, Jinhua Cat opened its mouth, bit the handle of the Zhuyin Whip, and flicked its head. The nine-section whip lashed out in the void, opening a huge spatial rift, and it leaped into it.

The fierce winds and immense pressure she faced while traversing the spacetime rift caused Ruan Chayan to lose consciousness.

The two-headed fire python rushed in, dragging its broken tail, just as the rift was about to close.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in mid-air outside the secret realm, revealing fragments of spacetime that could be faintly seen passing through the gap. Gale-force winds blew out from the crack, causing the robes of the cultivators below to flutter.

The group cautiously avoided the area, wondering what caused the crack.

Some speculate that the instability of the secret realm may have caused the spacetime rift to appear.

Before they could finish speaking, a huge white figure suddenly emerged from the crack!

A shocked clamor erupted from the crowd: "Look! What's that?!"

"It's a monster?!"

There were two people on its tail!

The Golden Flower Cat flew straight towards the teleportation beam of the secret realm. Just as the space-time rift behind it was about to close, another jet-black two-headed python rushed out after it.

Under the immense pressure from the Golden Flower Cat and the Two-Headed Fire Phosphorous Python, the cultivators were thrown about, shouting, "Demonic energy! It's demonic!"

Just as Jinhua Cat was about to pounce into the teleportation beam, one of the heads of the Two-Headed Fire Scale Python opened its mouth wide, and a golden arrow appeared from its mouth. The moment the arrow struck Jinhua Cat's left tail, Jinhua Cat's gradually shrinking figure disappeared into the teleportation beam.

The cultivators guarding the entrance to the secret realm were so frightened that they scattered like birds and beasts, and some even rushed into the secret realm in a panic.

The two-headed fire python transformed into human form, his robes slightly tattered, and his cheeks stained with blood.

He grabbed a cultivator and asked, "Which secret realm is this? What are the restrictions for entering?"

"Replying to your question, sir, this is the Light Ruins Secret Realm, which has only been in existence for half a month..."

The low-level cultivator, held firmly in the man's grasp, trembled and stammered, "Anyone with a cultivation level below the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm can enter, but... but... no one who went in has come out yet..."

The man seemed thoughtful, then sneered, "It's actually the Light Ruins Secret Realm, huh! I doubt he'll have a chance to come out alive!"

He grabbed the cultivator by the shoulder with one hand, and with his other hand, which was covered in snake scales, he plunged into the poor cultivator's abdomen, pulled out his golden core, swallowed it, and flew away.

The arrow from the Twin-Headed Fire Scale Python struck the left tail of the Golden Flower Cat. Due to its injury and pain, the Golden Flower Cat had to loosen its grip, and Luo Hanying was separated from Ruan Chayan by the random teleportation of the secret realm.

Our long-offline game, String Song, is finally back online.

Upon returning to this time and space and checking its location, it discovered that not only had Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying separated, but their vital signs were also quite unstable, immediately giving it a major headache.

It simply splits into another version of itself, simultaneously manipulating both bodies.

Ruan Chayan was awakened by the system's relentless barrage of announcements.

Ruan Chayan groggily struggled to sit up, wincing in pain: "What's that noise? It's so noisy..."

"It's me! I'm back!" Xuan Ge waved excitedly at Ruan Chayan. "Long time no see, Ruan Chayan!"

Ruan Chayan stared at the black and white iron-eating beast and shuddered: [“Xiange?!”]

She sneered, "It really has been a long time. Where have you been enjoying yourself these past few years, abandoning your host? I thought I'd never see you again!"

Xian Ge cried out in protest: "Heaven have mercy! I never abandoned you! You have no idea what inhuman treatment I have endured!"

"The fact that I'm still able to come back and lead you guys on missions is all thanks to my incredible luck!"

While enduring the pain, Ruan Chayan used her divine sense to observe her surroundings, her hands trembling as she opened her Qiankun bag to search for pills. Upon hearing this, she asked, "What, did your boss find out you were doing outsourcing work? Did you get arrested and thrown in jail?"

Xian Ge chuckled awkwardly twice: "That's not entirely true..."

However, what you said is somewhat true. The higher-ups do know about my use of offspring data to train people, and they'll settle accounts with me after I've finished training the two of you.

"Where's Xiaoxue?! Why isn't Xiaoxue here?!"

Ruan Chayan had no time to care about Xiange. She saw Jinhua Cat lying unconscious on the ground, but she couldn't find any trace of Luo Hanying.

Xian Ge comforted her, saying, "Luo Hanying isn't around here. You should heal your injuries first before going to find her. She's still unconscious."

Let me scan your body and tell you how to treat it so we can recover as soon as possible.

My mission objective has been located. Wenren Ya is closer to Luo Hanying, so we can take care of things together along the way.

Ruan Chayan casually set up a defensive array, and following Xian Ge's instructions, consumed pills and elixirs. Chewing on a blade of grass, she asked, "Is this the Golden Flower Cat? Is he the Demon Lord Huaiwei, Qin Fansheng?"

Xian Ge responded, "That's right, it's in the information I gave you." The implication was that she was feigning ignorance.

Ruan Chayan said speechlessly, "Your data was lost when the offspring system went into hibernation. If Xiaoxue and I hadn't become quite knowledgeable, we wouldn't have recognized him."

Since XianGe was in the wrong, it didn't dare to say anything more.

Ruan Chayan shuddered as she recalled the giant python: [“Is Huaiwei's injury serious? Where are we? Did you see a giant python nearby after you returned?”]

Xian Ge scanned Jin Hua Mao, then hesitated before saying, "His injury... it's hard to say..."

Let me check what happened to you all. I just got back and don't know the whole story yet.

However, you are safe for now; continue healing.

Ruan Chayan's injuries have mostly recovered after medication and meditation, but Jin Huamao is still unconscious. However, there is new information from Luo Hanying's side.

Luo Hanying was luckier than Ruan Chayan. After falling into the secret realm, she happened to encounter disciples of the Wenjian Sect. The entire Wenjian Sect consisted of upright sword cultivators. Although they did not know Luo Hanying's identity, they could tell from the injuries on her body that she had also encountered danger.

It's unclear whether it's due to the unique space-time of the Light Ruins Secret Realm, but aside from the first few days after the secret realm opened, they are currently unable to use communication jade slips to contact the outside world.

The Sword Inquiry Sect urgently needed to know the situation outside, and for various reasons, they took the initiative to treat Luo Hanying.
