Master fell into evil? I took the blame for the heroine

Especially at that moment, Xuehe saw Wang Xiaoke glaring at Luo He fiercely, with some uncontrollable anger in her eyes, and even her fists were clenched tightly, and her joints were slightly white due to the force.

Obviously, she was not completely satisfied with Luo He's performance, and it seemed that she had more terrifying methods.

"Hmph, interesting..." Xuehe sneered inwardly. He was very satisfied with Wang Xiaoke's performance. Her ferocity and temper, even her undisguised rage, were exactly the characteristics that a cultivator of the demonic path should possess.

This woman was obviously not willing to be just a foil for Luo He. To a certain extent, her character was even more resolute than Luo He's.

Xue He looked at Wang Xiaoke, and couldn't help but feel a stronger sense of anticipation. Although Luo He was ruthless, he was more known for his calmness and strategy.

Wang Xiaoke, on the other hand, was clearly at the other extreme. Her innate dominance and unyielding spirit allowed her to display a power even purer than Luo He's. Her ferocious demeanor made it seem as if she was always ready to charge forward and rip to shreds any enemy that stood in her way.

In the Xueyang Sect, this kind of character is equally crucial. A sect needs not only strategists but also strong individuals. If the two of them joined forces, it would be a match made in heaven, one civil, one martial, one intelligent, one powerful, complementing each other.

"It seems this woman is even more ruthless," Xuehe thought to himself. He could sense the power burning in Wang Xiaoke's rage; if he could channel it, it would become an unstoppable destructive force.

A glimmer flickered in Xuehe's eyes as he began to outline a future for Wang Xiaoke. If this woman gave it her all, her future achievements would be no less than Luohe's, and she might even surpass him in some aspects.

"You two are very interesting." Xuehe finally withdrew his gaze and said slowly. His voice was filled with a hint of approval and an elusive depth of meaning.

He could see the subtle tension between the two. Luo He was calm and patient, while Wang Xiaoke was hot-tempered and strong. The contrast between the two made him look forward to it.

Xuehe didn't say much. He understood that only the most ruthless could go further on the path of cultivation. Luo He and Wang Xiaoke before him clearly possessed the potential to become powerful warriors.

Under Xuehe's gaze, Luo He remained calm and composed. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, appearing both calm and confident. Wang Xiaoke continued to glare at Luo He, his fists clenched, looking extremely unapproachable.

Xuehe nodded and said softly, "You can go in now. The next test is no longer a temptation, but a true path of cultivation. Remember, in the Xueyang Sect, all emotions are power. Whether it is anger, hatred, or desire, they can all become your driving force for progress."

As Xuehe finished speaking, a deacon in a black robe walked out from the shadows and nodded to Luohe and Wang Xiaoke, indicating that they should follow him into the Xueyang Sect's branch.

Luo He nodded slightly and followed the black-robed deacon with light steps. Wang Xiaoke hesitated for a moment, but finally looked at Luo He coldly and followed.

The two of them walked further and further away. Xuehe stood there, watching their backs gradually disappear in the distance, his heart full of anticipation.

"Luo He, Wang Xiaoke... I hope you can go further on this bloody road and bring more glory to the Xueyang Sect." Xue He whispered to himself, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.

In the demonic world, there's no mercy; only the strong reign supreme. Luo He and Wang Xiaoke's future is destined to be filled with blood and slaughter. How far they can go depends on whether they can forge ahead on this bloody road.

Luo He and Wang Xiaoke passed the level.

"Wait!" Wang Luo's voice was hurried and panicked. He felt as if his heart had sunk into an ice cellar when he saw the situation changing so drastically.

Luo He's schemes had gradually drawn him into the scheme, forcing them into such a desperate situation. Waves of regret flashed through his mind, but it was too late. Adding to his anxiety, Xue He's ruthless tactics left him feeling a sense of powerless despair.

Those monks who were tricked by Luo He and Wang Xiaoke into handing over their essence and blood, stared at Luo He with wide eyes, full of anger and unwillingness. Their eyes were like knives, and they wished they could cut him into pieces.

They finally realized that they had become pawns in someone else's plan, and their blood and essence had been used, leaving them with the last bargaining chip.

Blood River's divine consciousness swept through the cultivators like an invisible chain, bringing with it a sense of impending disaster. They felt a chill all over their bodies, as if their souls were being snatched away, standing between life and death, their lives hanging by a thread.

"Senior, please listen to my explanation..." Wang Luo was extremely anxious, his voice trembling. He tried to explain, not even knowing what else he could say to save the situation. However, Xuehe remained unmoved.

Xuehe's eyes swept over Wang Luo coldly, without a trace of pity or emotion in them. He lightly hooked his finger, and a dazzling red light burst out from his fingertips.

The red light was like a surging wave of blood, accompanied by low incantations, and quickly spread in the air, enveloping those monks who carried the aura of righteousness.

Sharp screams instantly echoed in the spiritual realm. All the monks were covered in blood without exception. They felt as if their entire bodies were trapped in a river of blood, unable to escape at all.

"Damn it!" Wang Luo gritted his teeth, his face distorted with anger and fear.

Now, he finally understood that he had been calculated by Luo He from the beginning and became the victim of this carefully laid trap. He never thought that he would fall into such a dangerous situation, and the source of all this was because of Luo He.

On the other side, Zhou Xue's face was equally pale, and her eyes were filled with deep resentment and unwillingness.

She originally thought that she had been cautious and had set up enough traps to fight back against Luo He, but she didn't expect that in the end she would become the poor person who was outmaneuvered by others.

Xuehe clenched his hand, and blood energy surged wildly, completely enveloping Wang Luo and Zhou Xue. They tried to resist, but the surging blood energy was like a dragnet, leaving no escape. Their figures gradually blurred in the bloody light, and finally, in silent despair, they became mere shadows, completely annihilated in the spiritual realm, vanishing without a trace.

Outside the spiritual realm, Elder Ling Xue, who was in charge of this spiritual realm, sighed softly and led Wang Luo, Zhou Xue and a group of eliminated disciples out of the spiritual realm.

Everyone emerged in a daze, their minds clearly shaken by the shock they'd endured. Although Wang Luo and Zhou Xue were outside the spiritual realm, their eyes were still filled with fear and anger.

"Damn Luo He!" Wang Luo's eyes burned with rage, his teeth nearly gnashing. He stared intently at the blood energy still lingering in the spiritual realm, his gaze filled with resentment and hatred. He had never experienced such a desperate situation, and the instigator of all this was Luo He.

"I'll make you pay..." Zhou Xue cursed in a hoarse and cold voice. Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. The hatred she felt for Luo He was almost swallowing her up.

However, at this moment, no matter how angry they were, Luo He had already completed his plan for them, and the situation in the spiritual realm.

Also reached the next level.

Chapter 129 The Chosen One

As Luo He and Wang Xiaoke successfully passed the second level, the spiritual curtain outside the spiritual realm suddenly trembled violently, as if some huge force was quietly changing the entire trial space.

The previously tranquil spiritual realm seemed to suddenly experience some mysterious fluctuations. A faint force gathered from all directions, enveloping the entire spiritual realm. Although that force was invisible and intangible, it gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

All the disciples of Tianming Sect who participated in the trial felt the changes in the spiritual realm at this moment.

Without exception, all those who had originally participated in the trial were pushed out of the spiritual realm by an invisible force. A disciple who had just been struggling to resist some kind of mechanism was instantly ejected from the spiritual realm. His face was filled with confusion and resentment, completely unaware of what had happened.

"What's going on?" someone exclaimed.

"Why were we suddenly excluded? The trial hasn't ended yet!" Another disciple's face was also filled with horror, his tone full of anxiety and confusion.

In the square outside the Spiritual Realm, many disciples, repelled by the Spiritual Realm, gazed towards the Spiritual Curtain, a scene of clamor and confusion. They had never seen such a situation before, and everyone seemed bewildered. Some wore expressions of fear, others of resentment, while still others tried to guess the cause of this unusual change.

"Is there a problem in the spiritual realm?" A disciple whispered, his face full of worry.

"Impossible. The spiritual realm has existed for so long, and this situation has never occurred before. Could it be that something special happened inside?" A disciple with a higher level of cultivation frowned and thought, but also could not find the answer.

At the same time, outside the spirit curtain, several elders of the Tianming Sect also looked puzzled, especially Elder Tuyin. He stared at the trembling spirit curtain, and a strong sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.

Elder Ling Xue frowned even more.

But now Luo He and Wang Xiaoke are still in the spiritual realm, and she cannot forcibly end the spiritual realm.

If something unexpected happens, should we bring these two people out immediately?

Elder Ling Xue used her spiritual power to connect with the spiritual realm, but the next moment, her face changed.

Originally, her connection with the spiritual realm was severed.

As the elder in charge of this trial, he had a deep understanding of the Spiritual Realm and knew that the trial had strict rules, but now the Spiritual Realm seemed to be breaking the rules and excluding all other participants. This phenomenon had never been seen before.

Elder Tuyin pondered for a moment, frowning, then turned to look at Elder Ran beside him. Elder Ran was wearing the unique robe of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, and his brows revealed a sense of calmness and wisdom.

Elder Ran is a member of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, known for his profound knowledge and extensive experience. Elder Tuyin has some hope in his heart that Elder Ran may be able to explain the changes before him.

"Elder Ran, what do you think?" Elder Tuyin couldn't help but ask, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

Elder Ran was silent for a moment, staring at the constantly trembling spirit curtain, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

The changes in the spiritual realm were extraordinary, something even an experienced elder like him had never witnessed. His gaze shifted from the spiritual curtain to Elder Tuyin, a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

“It is rare indeed.”

Elder Ran spoke slowly, his tone steady and thoughtful. "This kind of rejection of others by the Spirit Realm is extremely rare. I have occasionally seen it recorded in the texts of the Heavenly Book Pavilion. This situation is extremely rare and almost never occurs. It only occurs under special circumstances."

Elder Tuyin was moved when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "What kind of conditions would cause such a change?"

Elder Ran pondered for a moment and continued to explain, "The existence of the spiritual realm is very mysterious. Some say it is an immortal, others say it is a being that exists in the universe, or perhaps it is a special space created by an ancient power. It has the ability to choose for itself."

"Only when the trial-taker meets certain conditions will the Spirit Realm react in this way, excluding the other participants and leaving behind only those it recognizes as 'Spirit Chosen.' The probability of this happening is less than one in a thousand."

"Spiritual selection?" Elder Tuyin's eyes lit up and he repeated with a hint of surprise.

Elder Ran nodded, a serious expression on his face. "Indeed, the Spiritual Selection is an extremely rare mechanism in the Spiritual Realm. Legend has it that only those with great luck can trigger the Spiritual Selection mechanism. The Spiritual Realm will identify these individuals as possessing special potential and opportunity, making them candidates to undergo the final trial."

Hearing this, Elder Tuyin understood the situation and his expression gradually became solemn. He looked at the only two figures left in the spirit screen - Luo He and Wang Xiaoke.

These two people were unexpectedly chosen by the Spirit Realm and became the Spirit Chosen! All other trial participants were excluded, which meant that Luo He and Wang Xiaoke would next undergo the most special test of the Spirit Realm.

"This... they are actually the chosen ones?" Elder Tuyin muttered to himself, his tone filled with surprise and confusion. He had never imagined that such a rare phenomenon would occur in the spiritual realm, and Luo He and Wang Xiaoke were actually the two people chosen by the spiritual realm.

In the square, more and more Tianming Sect disciples also noticed this, and many began to realize that the changes in the spiritual realm were related to Luo He and Wang Xiaoke. The originally noisy discussions gradually subsided, and everyone looked at the two lonely figures in the spiritual curtain, their hearts filled with confusion and shock.

"Why are Luo He and Wang Xiaoke the only ones still in the spiritual realm?"

"Could it be that they are special trial-takers chosen by the Spirit Realm?"

"That's impossible. This situation is too rare. Could they really be very lucky?"

The value of the auspicious energy from heaven is still rising!

The disciples were discussing the matter, their hearts filled with speculation and anxiety. Some were filled with envy, while others could hardly hide their jealousy.

The Chosen Ones represent extremely special opportunities and rewards. If Luo He and Wang Xiaoke can pass the final trial, they will receive unimaginable rewards and may even gain unimaginable power and resources.

However, there are also disciples who are full of suspicion and dissatisfaction towards Luo He and Wang Xiaoke.

"That's not fair! Why were they the only ones chosen?"

"Why them? We also participated in the trial, why were we excluded?!"

"Humph, maybe they are just lucky."

Although many were dissatisfied, they could do nothing about it. The choices made by the spirit realm were not manipulated by humans; they followed certain ancient rules that could not be reversed. No matter how much resentment and jealousy there was, it could not change the facts before them.

Elder Ran said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, the Spirit Realm will next offer the final test. The difficulty of this test far exceeds any of the previous ones. If they can pass, the Spirit Realm will grant them unimaginable rewards, perhaps some ancient secret treasure or precious cultivation resources. This is an opportunity only those with great luck can obtain."

Elder Tuyin nodded, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He was happy for Luo He and Wang Xiaoke, but also felt lost for his disciple Wang Luo's failure.

In that case, we can only rely on them.

Chapter 130: Dead end?

Luo He slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually returning to clarity from the chaos. He could hear bursts of rapid breathing, which belonged to him. He sat up suddenly, and the scene around him gradually became clear, but he fell into a brief trance.

"Who am I? Where am I?"

Doubts arose in Luo He's heart, and for a moment he could not distinguish between reality and fantasy.

The place where he was was dark and desolate.

There was not a trace of life between the desolate sky and earth. The wilderness was shrouded in a heavy and solemn atmosphere like a realm of death, and the air was filled with a heart-pounding chill.

The outlines of the barren mountains in the distance are looming, and the weeds and dead branches sway in the wind, making rustling sounds, like ghosts whispering, which makes people feel a chill in their hearts.

Luo He found himself in a dark cave, the light dim and the stone walls cold and damp, as if the cold air was attacking him from all directions. His breathing became increasingly rapid, his chest heaving violently, and fine beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Huh... Huh..." He gasped, his rapid breathing particularly noticeable in the silent cave. After a moment of confusion, memories flooded into his mind like a tide.

I remembered!

Luo He's eyes suddenly focused and he realized that he was in danger.

After lurking in the Xue Yang Sect for many days, he and Wang Xiaoke's mission was originally going smoothly, but they were discovered by the enemy at the last moment after they successfully found out the secret of the Xue Yang Sect.

As the disciples of the Xueyang Sect discovered their tracks, the pursuers swarmed in in an instant, full of murderous intent.

He and Wang Xiaoke began to flee immediately. Under the close pursuit of the Xueyang Sect, Wang Xiaoke stood in the front and took him on a desperate escape, and finally broke through the siege.

Luo He recalled the pursuit, and the sense of urgency washed over him again. He instantly regained consciousness, realizing that time was running out. The pervasive, murderous aura meant the pursuers were likely still nearby; the slightest negligence would lead to their discovery.

"Senior Sister Wang!" Luo He's heart tightened, and he immediately looked around for his companions.

In the corner of the cave, Luo He saw Wang Xiaoke lying on the ground. Her face was pale, unconscious, and her body was covered in dust and blood. Her right leg was stained with blood, and her clothes were soaked with blood. Her breathing was weak, and her injuries were obviously serious.

"Damn it!" Luo He's heart tightened, and heartache and anxiety surged in his heart.

He quickly crawled to Wang Xiaoke's side and examined her injuries with a serious look. After a careful inspection, he found that Wang Xiaoke's right leg was cut by a deep wound, which was the wound inflicted by the enemy during the escape. The wound was horrifying, and blood flowed from the gaping wound. If it was not treated in time, Wang Xiaoke would lose too much blood and her condition would become more dangerous.

Luo He gritted his teeth and quickly tore off a piece of cloth from his own body. He skillfully wrapped the cloth around Wang Xiaoke's wound, trying to stop the bleeding. He moved carefully and focused, fearing that a mistake would make Wang Xiaoke's wound worse.

During the bandaging process, Luo He remained vigilant at all times, his ears listening to any movements outside the cave, fearing that the pursuers would suddenly discover their hiding place.

However, the outside world was strangely quiet, with only the faint sound of wind passing through the wilderness, making a low whistle, like the panting of an ancient beast.

I don’t know if there is anyone there.

"Fortunately, she's fine for now." Luo He breathed a sigh of relief. After checking and bandaging, Wang Xiaoke's bleeding stopped temporarily, but she was still unconscious and her face was still pale.

Luo He stared at Wang Xiaoke's face, a complex wave of emotions welling up in his heart. During their escape, Wang Xiaoke had bravely stood in the front line to protect him from the enemy, ultimately being injured by the enemy. These memories made Luo He feel heavy and guilty.

"I'm the one who drags you down." He whispered to himself, his voice revealing an undisguised sense of self-blame.

Although the situation was extremely critical, Luo He knew that the most important thing now was to find a way out. Staying in this dark cave was not a long-term solution.

Once the pursuers from the Xueyang Sect find this place, they will have nowhere to escape.

He raised his head, calmed down, and began to think about how to escape.

Right now, the best option was to find a safe escape route as quickly as possible while Wang Xiaoke was temporarily unconscious, and take her out of the wilderness. However, the wilderness was filled with the presence of enemies, and simply trying to escape their pursuit was extremely difficult.

Luo He stood up and cautiously walked to the cave entrance, observing the outside world through the narrow exit. He saw the wilderness in the distance, darkness shrouding the earth, and a bleak blood-red sunset hanging on the horizon, like a blood-stained blade.
