Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

On the other side, Zhong Lingxin was carefully moving forward, with Xiao Huanhuan tucked into her sleeve.

As they ventured deeper into the inner area, not only were the levels of the spiritual herbs increasing, but even the levels of the demonic beasts were rising.

She is currently traveling between two powerful demons.

It is said that these two great demons are a sixth-tier Crimson-Crowned Eagle and a White-Faced Monkey.

The two demons each had a large clan. For tens of thousands of years, they fought each other, resulting in casualties on both sides. Finally, under the mediation of the seventh-tier demon beast, the Blood Tiger, in the inner center, they each left a distance of a hundred feet as a safe zone.

This prevents the two groups from accidentally crossing the line and engaging in a fight.

Qu Xin also knew about this middle ground.

As she followed the scent of the incense, she remembered that there was a cliff ahead.

Without a word, she flew down the cliff on her sword and lay in ambush. She was faster than Zhong Lingxin and only lay in wait where Zhong Lingxin was sure to pass, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

She knew in her heart that all the monks passing through this intermediate zone had to pass through as quickly as possible.

Sometimes, this speed of passage is even faster than the speed at which divine consciousness unfolds.

Several sounds of swords flying overhead flew past her, but she remained motionless, hidden in a small cave at the foot of the cliff.

A large group of cultivators flew past her at high speed. She quietly checked them, but she didn't see the aura she remembered.

After a long while, just as she was wondering if all the disciples who had entered the secret realm had finished, she suddenly felt the small tree above her head sway.

Then, Hua Qinglian's bloodied face appeared before her.

Qu Xin waved her hand, throwing out an explosive talisman towards Hua Qinglian.

Similarly, Hua Qinglian waved her hand, sending an explosive talisman towards her.

In the end, Hua Qinglian gained the advantage of being in an open area and dodged Qu Xin's explosive talisman.

Although Qu Xin couldn't dodge Hua Qinglian's exploding talisman, she only suffered minor injuries thanks to the good quality of her magic robe. She coughed up a mouthful of blood and then crawled out of the cave.

Hua Qinglian's eyes were bloodshot as she stared at Qu Xin: "Qu Xin, don't think I won't recognize you just because you've changed your identity. You're going to die soon."

Behind Hua Qinglian stood several Lingyun Sect disciples, forming a semi-encirclement around Qu Xin at the cave entrance.

Without saying a word, Qu Xin put away the Poison Dragon Whip and raised her hands repeatedly, sending dozens of explosive talismans flying like a shower of flowers towards the Lingyun Sect disciples who were surrounding her.

The Lingyun Sect disciples cursed under their breath and flew backward to avoid the attack.

They were only invited by Hua Qinglian to help out, not to waste their magic weapons, much less to throw their lives away.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qu Xin tore off the teleportation talisman and was about to teleport away.

Hua Qinglian had already anticipated Qu Xin's teleportation and launched several explosive talismans at her.

Qu Xin sneered.

Before entering the secret realm, Hua Qinglian had not had much contact with her master and fellow disciples, and had not yet attracted enough attention from them, so her cultivation resources were not particularly good.

He's far inferior to her.

In order to deal with Hua Qinglian and Zhong Lingxin, she has been asking her mother for her treasures all these years.

These few explosive talismans from Hua Qinglian really didn't cause her much harm.

Just as Qu Xin was feeling smug, a bursting talisman flashed silver light and shot straight at her face.

Qu Xin instinctively sensed danger and wanted to avoid it.

Behind her, Hua Qinglian and the disciples of Lingyun Sect were chasing after her.

Left with no other choice, Qu Xin could only move sideways to dodge the exploding talisman flying towards her.

The explosive talisman exploded in mid-air.

Zhong Lingxin, hiding in the shadows, felt a pang of regret.

Qu Xin is incredibly lucky; she survived the explosion.

Actually, this was Xiao Huanhuan who discovered Qu Xin and promptly sent a telepathic message to Zhong Lingxin.

Zhong Lingxin's mind raced. Knowing that Qu Xin possessed too many magical treasures and was extremely difficult to kill, she obtained some information and subtly informed Hua Qinglian.

Hua Qinglian, adhering to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," led her men to the foot of the cliff and, as expected, found Qu Xin.

Zhong Lingxin lay in ambush at a distance, thinking that if Hua Qinglian killed Qu Xin, she wouldn't make a move. If she didn't kill her, she would finish her off with a fatal blow.

As she expected, Qu Xin once again broke through the encirclement by relying on her magic weapon.

The explosive talisman she added also failed to kill Qu Xin.

Qu Xin's robes are simply too good, with too high a defense.

The robe shimmered with light, deflecting attack after attack.

Fortunately, her explosive talisman forced Qu Xin to move sideways, and she was once again surrounded by Hua Qinglian and the disciples of Lingyun Sect.

Qu Xin felt a surge of nausea in her throat, and her vision blurred.

But she dared not fall.

She knew that once she fell, she would surely die by Hua Qinglian's sword.

The senior brother she longed for, and the "Illusory Realm" she yearned for, would ultimately not be hers.

At this point, she suddenly stopped thinking about her senior brother; all she wanted was the "Illusory Heaven Realm," the divine-level cultivation technique.

As long as she can cultivate the "Illusory Heaven Realm", she will be the hope of the family. Even her father, who dares not acknowledge her, and her paternal clan, will have to reconsider her value and cultivate her as a key talent, giving her more and better resources.

Qu Xin suddenly felt her mind clear, and boundless pride surged within her, causing her aura to rise.

The explosive talismans he swung were more accurate and traveled farther, forcing the Lingyun Sect disciples to retreat continuously.

This time, Hua Qinglian's eyes were not only red with anger, but her heart was also filled with jealousy and resentment, and she couldn't help but let out screams.

Why, why is God so blind!

How could a wicked woman who disfigured her possibly have an epiphany during a battle?

Seeing Hua Qinglian lose her composure, Qu Xin felt even more smug.

This is the treatment Qu Xin deserves—to infuriate those despicable people. Then she can enjoy her success and rise through the ranks.

Zhong Lingxin was also frustrated. She had finally managed to plan to surround Qu Xin, but now she had to watch her break through.

No, she didn't believe in that nonsense!

Zhong Lingxin suddenly raised her hand, and another exploding talisman was thrown at Qu Xin.

Qu Xin finally saw Zhong Lingxin outside the encirclement.

Zhong Lingxin had changed her clothes again this time, wearing a set of colorful robes, which were the attire of a Beast Taming Sect disciple. She had obtained them not long ago after killing a Beast Taming Sect disciple who had ambushed her.

Qu Xin glared at the Beast Taming Sect disciple and angrily shouted, "Damn it, what's it to you? Get lost! Who told you to meddle in other people's business!"

Zhong Lingxin sneered: "You stole my elixir, how could I forgive you!"

Qu Xin was furious. She had been in the secret realm for almost half a year and had stolen countless spiritual herbs. How could she possibly remember whose herbs she had stolen from?

Little did they know that at a crucial moment, they would be targeted by others.

She couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

This time, when we enter the secret realm, we should focus all our efforts on dealing with Zhong Lingxin and not do anything else.

She looked at the Beast Taming Sect disciple and shouted, "Get out of the way, or I'll give you ten more later!"

Zhong Lingxin sneered: "Then go ahead and fix it now. Who knows which cow's tail you'll end up on when you turn around!"
