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

There are people blocking off the area all around.

After Wang Xiaoke pondered for a moment, she looked towards Luo He and admitted the fact: "Yes, I can't leave."

Wang Xiaoke gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, as if to suppress all the pain in his heart.

Her eyes stared into the distance, as if she was thinking about something. Finally, her gaze fell on Luo He. There was a firm look in her eyes, mixed with a hint of determination.

"Luo He."

This time she called Luo He by his real name.

Wang Xiaoke's voice was still hoarse and weak, but his tone was filled with unshakable determination: "I can't drag you down. We can't both be trapped here. The people of the Xueyang Sect have blocked the surrounding roads. If we continue like this, we will only be surrounded by them, and then neither you nor I will be able to escape."

Luo He looked at her silently, already guessing what she was going to say next, but still unwilling to believe it. He subconsciously shook his head, his lips moving slightly, but no sound came out, as if hesitating how to respond to her.

Seeing Luo He's silence, Wang Xiaoke raised her head and continued, "You go alone and use the teleportation talisman and the blasting stone to attract their attention. You should have a chance to escape. As long as I stay and hold off the pursuers... I will try my best to buy you time, and then I will find a way to escape."

She said it easily, as if all this was a natural choice, but Luo He could feel the difficulty in her voice.

Even though she was seriously injured and poison was raging in her body, she did not show any weakness, but firmly chose to take on this dangerous task.

"You want me to go alone?" Luo He finally spoke, his voice filled with undisguised anger and heartache. He gripped the Exploding Stone tightly, his knuckles turning white, clearly trying his best to suppress his emotions.

The corners of Wang Xiaoke's lips lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, which revealed a hint of helplessness and determination.

"This is the best way, Luo He."

She said slowly, "You know that in the current situation, it's almost impossible for the two of us to escape together. I know my body can't hold out for much longer. Rather than dragging you into this desperate situation, why don't I stay and attract their attention while you complete the mission."

Luo He's heart suddenly trembled. How could he not see her plan?

Wang Xiaoke's injuries were more serious than he had imagined. She had realized that it would be difficult for her to escape from here alive, so she decided to take the risk and fight for a chance for him.

"In your current state...how can you leave?" Luo He's voice was low, with reluctance and heartache in his tone.

Wang Xiaoke's slightly trembling body told him that the pain had already penetrated deep into her bones. Her fiery red hair had lost its former bright luster and fell across her shoulders, dim like a burnt-out flame.

Her face was as pale as paper. Although her eyes were still firm, the corners of her lips trembled slightly from time to time. It was obvious that she was trying her best to suppress the severe pain in her body.

"I am fine."

Wang Xiaoke's voice was still stubborn, but no longer as forceful as before: "I can hold on until you escape. As long as you can return with the information, everything will be worth it."

Luo He's heart suddenly tightened. He knew she was right. They were now in an extremely unfavorable situation. They were surrounded by pursuers from the Xueyang Sect. Any rash action could lead to fatal consequences.

In order to escape alive, someone must make a sacrifice.

This sounds like the best decision at the moment...

The decision most likely to get the message across.

"But..." Luo He's voice was filled with deep reluctance and pain. He was unwilling to accept this reality and unwilling to watch Wang Xiaoke stay alone, dragging his body corroded by toxins to face those brutal enemies.

"No buts!"

Wang Xiaoke suddenly raised her voice, interrupting Luo He. She took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in her heart, and stood up with difficulty, a glint of determination in her eyes: "This is our only chance. I don't want to discuss it anymore."

Luo He looked at her and knew that what she said made sense. If they continued like this, it would only put both of them in danger. However, did he really have to give up on Wang Xiaoke and let her face life and death alone?

"You believe me, Luo He."

Wang Xiaoke's voice suddenly softened, with a touch of heartbreaking tenderness: "I have never been a fragile person. This is not the first time, and it won't be the last."

Her voice was like a needle that pierced Luo He's heart. He closed his eyes tightly, breathing rapidly, and pondered his next move.

However, Luo He's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized a possibility.

Wait... They'd been thinking about an escape plan, but what if they didn't escape? Since the poison came from the Blood Sun Sect, perhaps they could do the opposite and live in the face of death!

"Senior Sister Wang."

Luo He spoke slowly, his tone suddenly becoming calm and firm: "I thought of something, we can not escape."

Wang Xiaoke was stunned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Since the people of Xueyang Sect are blocking us with poison, let's go to their headquarters!"

Luo He continued, his tone filled with a frantic determination: "The pursuers are targeting us. They wouldn't think we would take the initiative to go to the branch. If we can directly break into the Xueyang Sect's branch, perhaps we will have a chance to find a way to detoxify!"

Wang Xiaoke's eyes brightened instantly, and she was obviously thinking about the possibility of this matter, but she still hesitated: "Luo He, are you crazy? The branch of Xueyang Sect is a dangerous place. If we rush in like this, I'm afraid..."

"Yes, it is indeed a dangerous place, but rather than being hunted to a dead end, it is better for us to take the initiative and attack."

Luo He's eyes lit up slightly. He held Wang Xiaoke's hand tightly and said in a low but firm voice, "Besides, they would never have thought that we would do this."

Wang Xiaoke looked at Luo He's determined gaze, and after a moment he finally smiled bitterly.

"You are so bold." She shook her head slightly, and the stubbornness and determination in her eyes reappeared.

This is a crazy idea.

What are the chances? Will it work? It's not worth it for her.

No matter what, she wanted to get Luo He out safely.

"In that case, let's give it a try." Wang Xiaoke slowly stood up. Although she was still weak, the spirit of not giving up was still burning in her body.

"Junior brother, we made preparations all around and arranged everything before rushing back as you said."

"Okay." Luo He nodded.

Wang Xiaoke slowly stood up. Although every movement she made revealed her weakness, her indomitable spirit still burned in her.

She didn't want to be bound by her injuries, and she didn't want to see Luo He take risks. She had already made up her mind to rush out and attract the enemy's attention, even if it meant sacrificing herself in the end to ensure Luo He's safety.

However, her decision could not be hidden from Luo He's eyes.

Luo He was setting traps all around and using explosive stones to create the illusion of chaos, but he was secretly keeping an eye on Wang Xiaoke's movements.

He knew her personality. She would never easily follow his arrangements, especially at this critical moment. She would definitely make the choice she thought was most appropriate - and this choice might very well require her to take risks herself.

Sure enough, while Luo He was busy setting the trap, Wang Xiaoke suddenly flashed and rushed towards the cave entrance. Although her speed was slowed by her injuries, she was still swift and almost rushed out of the cave to attract the enemy's firepower.

Hey!

Luo He had a premonition. He took a sudden step forward, extended his long arm, and accurately grasped Wang Xiaoke's wrist, pulling her back from mid-air. Wang Xiaoke was stunned, not expecting Luo He to react so quickly.

"Luo He! What are you doing? Let me go!" Wang Xiaoke struggled, trying to break free from Luo He's hands, but her body was too weak and she felt dizzy after struggling a few times.

"Knew it……"

Luo He whispered, with a hint of helplessness and heartache in his tone: "You still want to rush out by yourself, carry everything, and let me escape."

But, no.

There was no trace of blame in his voice, only deep understanding and pity.

Luo He knew Wang Xiaoke's personality: she was strong-willed and stubborn, unwilling to rely on others, and even less willing to let others take risks for her. She would rather bear all the pain herself than see Luo He fall into danger.

A trace of anger and helplessness flashed in Wang Xiaoke's eyes. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists: "I don't need your help! Luo He, you know that only this way can we have a chance... Leave me alone!"

Luo He did not respond to her anger, but slowly raised his hand and gently tapped the back of her neck. Wang Xiaoke's body suddenly softened, she lost consciousness, and fell quietly into Luo He's arms.

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister."

Luo He whispered, with an indescribable determination in his voice: "I know you are right, but I can't let you bear this alone."

He carefully picked up Wang Xiaoke and gently placed him on the ground.

Her breathing gradually calmed, and her exhausted face seemed somewhat peaceful in her coma. Her once vibrant, fiery red hair was now dull and lusterless, falling softly on her shoulders like a burnt-out flame.

"From now on, leave everything to me."

Chapter 133: Will you do this for me?

Outside the spiritual realm, Elder Ran of the Qingyun Sect and Elder Tuyin of the Xueyang Sect were standing on a high place, looking through the spiritual curtain, closely watching the changes happening inside.

Elder Ran stood tall, his long beard twitching slightly, his gaze penetrating, as if he had seen through everything in the spiritual realm. Elder Tuyin, on the other hand, was short and stocky, with a serious expression and a cold and calculating look in his eyes.

"Luo He and Wang Xiaoke are in a difficult situation now. I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape."

Elder Tuyin said coldly, his eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the area within the spiritual realm that was blocked by the Xueyang Sect: "Wang Xiaoke has been poisoned deeply and is completely unable to fight. Even if Luo He is smart and courageous, it will be difficult for him to lead her out of the encirclement."

Elder Ran nodded slightly, his brow furrowed. "I can see Wang Xiaoke's condition clearly. She's seriously injured, especially from the Blood Sun Sect's poison. The situation is indeed not optimistic. But Luo He is known for his calmness and decisiveness. Perhaps there is still a chance."

Elder Tuyin sneered, his tone tinged with disdain. "Chance? How do you think he could escape from the hands of our Xueyang Sect with a poisoned and injured woman? This isn't some kind of trial where you'll just have to fight a little, but a fight for life and death. Wang Xiaoke is just a burden now. The wisest choice is to sacrifice one person and let the other escape."

Elder Ran was silent for a moment, his eyes complex as he looked at Luo He and Wang Xiaoke, who were struggling to escape in the spiritual realm, and sighed softly: "You are right. Wang Xiaoke has indeed become a burden. If they want to escape successfully, I am afraid that one of them will have to make a sacrifice."

Elder Tuyin nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Elder Ran's opinion.

"I know Luo He is indeed different, but in the current situation, wisdom is no longer enough to change the situation."

Elder Ran spoke slowly, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "The situation in the Spirit Realm is complicated. The Blood Sun Sect has an absolute advantage. A dragnet has been laid all around them. They have nowhere to escape."

Elder Tuyin raised his lips slightly, his tone tinged with a hint of sneer, "I've said it before, there's no way they'll succeed. The Xueyang Sect has already made thorough arrangements, and they've simply walked into a trap by entering the Spirit Realm. There's no hope of escaping now. The best option is for Luo He to sacrifice Wang Xiaoke, letting her draw the Xueyang Sect's attention while he escapes."

Elder Ran frowned slightly upon hearing this, feeling somewhat unhappy. Although he agreed that sacrificing one person might be the most effective strategy at the moment, asking Wang Xiaoke to die voluntarily, even in a real-life trial, would be extremely difficult.

"Currently, Wang Xiaoke and Luo He are probably in their latent roles. Since this is a special spiritual realm trial, they probably don't even know they're in one. Instead, they're making judgments and choices based on their current situation."

"Reason? Facing a siege like this, it's impossible to remain rational."

Elder Tuyin's eyes turned cold and he didn't care much. He also didn't think that Luo He and Wang Xiao could pass the level.

"This is the cruelty of cultivation. Whether in the demonic or righteous paths, we have lost many outstanding disciples in trials. If we want to achieve great things, we must sacrifice some people. Besides, Wang Xiaoke has been poisoned, and her life force is rapidly fading. Rather than letting her drag Luo He down, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible and sacrifice her to preserve Luo He's life."

Elder Ran's brow furrowed even more tightly. He understood that what Elder Tuyin said made sense, and the current situation was already very unfavorable.

If things drag on, both of them might be in dire straits. Sacrificing Wang Xiaoke might really be the most rational choice at the moment, but he still struggled.

"From what I've observed, Luo He will never give up on Wang Xiaoke easily. Given how much he values ​​his fellow disciples, even if he puts himself in the situation and forgets his own identity, he'd probably rather stay with her than escape alone."

Elder Ran spoke slowly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes: "But if you really choose to return to the Xueyang Sect's branch, you will be in danger of death, and there will not even be a glimmer of hope."

Elder Tuyin sneered, appearing unconcerned. "If Luo He is too foolish to understand this, then he has only himself to blame. Within the Spiritual Realm, murderous intent lurks everywhere. Anyone who shows softness and leniency is doomed to die young."

Elder Ran shook his head and sighed as he looked towards the spiritual realm. "Although Luo He is young, his talent and character in cultivation are extremely outstanding. If he can pass this trial, he will indeed gain unimaginable achievements. Unfortunately, the current situation is too unfavorable for them."

The two men fell into a brief silence, their gazes fixed on the situation within the spiritual realm. Luo He and Wang Xiaoke's figures appeared and disappeared in the mist, accompanied by the occasional explosion. It was obvious that Luo He was trying his best to distract the enemy.

"He doesn't seem to be ready to give up." Elder Ran muttered to himself as he watched the explosion coming from the spiritual realm.

Elder Tuyin sneered, "No matter how hard he struggles, it's all in vain. The power of the Xueyang Sect far exceeds their imagination. Since Wang Xiaoke has been poisoned, even if Luo He has many tricks, he will not be able to save her. Now he is just trying his best to save her."

Obviously, in the judgment of the elders, Luo He is making the most stupid decision now.

High in the sky, Fu Xueqiong was hidden deep in the clouds, without revealing any trace of her presence. Her figure was like a cold shadow, melting between heaven and earth.

Even though she hid herself so well, her eyes could still see through the fog and obstructions, watching everything that happened in the spiritual realm. Her face was as cold as ice as always, and her eyes, as blue as a pool of water, did not show any emotion.

However, as her eyes fell on Luo He and Wang Xiaoke, Fu Xueqiong's heart, which had been frozen for a long time, seemed to have a slight crack.

Luo He carefully picked up Wang Xiaoke, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and adjusted her position on his back, as if he was afraid that she would feel the slightest discomfort.

The two leaned shoulder to shoulder, their breathing gradually synchronizing. The tacit understanding between them made Fu Xueqiong's eyes flicker slightly. She watched Luo He whispering to Wang Xiaoke. Even though she couldn't hear what he said, she could feel the tenderness and determination in his tone.

"For her, I'm working so hard..." Fu Xueqiong murmured to herself, with a barely perceptible ripple passing through her heart.

She focused again, watching Luo He's every move. She had always been indifferent to the emotional fluctuations of the outside world, thinking that those emotional entanglements were just obstacles on the path of cultivation.

But at this moment, seeing Luo He taking care of Wang Xiaoke so carefully and attentively, Fu Xueqiong suddenly felt an inexplicable irritation in her heart.

She frowned slightly, her gaze subconsciously fixed on Wang Xiaoke. Though weakened by the poison, the red-haired woman still looked heroic. Luo He shielded her from the wind and rain, even knocking her unconscious without hesitation to protect her, thus preventing her from acting impulsively.

For her, can you risk everything?

This question suddenly popped up in Fu Xueqiong's mind and couldn't be shaken off.

She knew Luo He was a calm and rational man, never one to make unnecessary sacrifices. But in front of Wang Xiaoke, he had clearly crossed his boundaries. For her, he was willing to risk his life to go to the Xueyang Sect's branch. To Fu Xueqiong, this was an extremely crazy and unnecessary choice.

Fu Xueqiong bit her lower lip gently, leaving a faint bite mark on her cold lips. The faint touch seemed to awaken some hidden emotion deep in her heart, an emotion she had never truly faced.

She was a little annoyed.

This emotion made her uncomfortable and inexplicably anxious. She had always been calm and composed, never wavering in her cultivation or in her interactions with the outside world. However, at this moment, she found herself feeling slightly unbalanced because of the closeness between Luo He and Wang Xiaoke.

Fu Xueqiong's mood changed little by little as the scenes in her spiritual realm unfolded. She watched Luo He's hand gently pat Wang Xiaoke's shoulder, as if it were some kind of comfort, or perhaps a silent promise.

The touch was so natural, as if they were already accustomed to each other's presence. And during this process, Luo He's eyes did not hesitate at all, his determination was like a cold blade, flashing with a firm light.

Fu Xueqiong breathed silently, her gaze still impassive, but her inner emotions were becoming increasingly complex. She had once believed herself to be above such worldly emotions. But now, she was deeply moved by the tacit understanding and intimacy between Luo He and Wang Xiaoke.

It's not like she hadn't seen Luo He interact with other disciples before, but it never made her feel uncomfortable. But the scene before her made her feel an indescribable bitterness in her heart.

This emotion came without warning, even catching her off guard. She subconsciously thought that this sour feeling would soon dissipate, but she found that it was getting stronger and stronger, as if there was no way to get rid of it.
