Luo Qingyu, standing to the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter, silently sighing in her heart.
Was the acting of the Demon Race really this terrible nowadays?
Luo Qingyu didn't understand, but she respected it.
Beside her, Ming Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Without a second thought, he was absolutely certain that this old man pretending to be pitiful was, in all likelihood, a demon.
Xue Yu calmly lowered his gaze and asked, “How do you need us to help you?”
“Let me out.”
The old man spoke, pointing his finger at Ming Xuan and Ye Qiao. “You two are talisman cultivators, right? As long as you can let me out, I will definitely reward you.”
Ye Qiao replied, “But we're only in the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
The old man choked on his words upon hearing this, falling silent for a moment.
Foundation Establishment Realm?
Had the threshold for Personal Disciples of the Five Great Sects fallen this low nowadays?
Could it be that these two were peerless geniuses who had prompted the great sects to make an exception for them?”
Suppressing the shock and suspicion in his heart, the old man decided that Ye Qiao and Ming Xuan were rare, promising talents. He immediately suppressed his impatience and began to teach them step-by-step how to open the array formation.
A quarter of an hour later.
The old man was physically and mentally exhausted from teaching. Panting, he looked at Ye Qiao with eyes full of anticipation. “Have you learned it yet?”
Ye Qiao shook her head gently and replied honestly, “Not yet. This is way too hard. How about you teach me some simpler ones instead?”
The old man's face contorted for a fraction of a second, but he quickly forced another smile. “Alright.” He would endure.
Turning his head to look at Ming Xuan, he asked, “Kid, have you learned it?”
Ming Xuan shook his head with a completely innocent look. “No, Senior. Why don't you teach us some simpler ones? Our comprehension skills are rather poor.”
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Which fucking sect did these Personal Disciples belong to? They were as dumb as donkeys.
He had taught them over a hundred times back and forth, yet these two idiots hadn't learned a single thing.
It was absolutely infuriating.
But on second thought, to escape his confinement, he had to endure for now.
He gritted his teeth in secret. Once he got out, he would definitely grind these two Personal Disciples to dust and scatter their ashes.
And so, the old man calmed himself down once more, patiently continuing to teach the two.
After countless times...
“Have you learned it?”
Ye Qiao said vaguely, “More or less.”
Ming Xuan said, “It's alright.”
Ye Qiao stared at the old man with a serious expression. “Are you absolutely sure you can't get out on your own?”
The old man immediately put on a pitiful front again and sighed deeply. “Yes, little girl, you...”
Ye Qiao flashed a brilliant smile, snatched the scroll floating in mid-air, and bolted, leaving behind only a sentence: “Since you can't get out, then I can rest easy! Bye-bye, old man!”
The old man: “You fucking @#%&#*.&”
...
Several figures rushed out of the passage in a hurry. Xue Yu looked around at the secret realm's environment, his expression shifting slightly as he spoke, “It's about to collapse.”
Zhou Xingyun heard this and felt a strange sense of finality, as if the other shoe had finally dropped.
As expected, it was collapsing.
Shen Ziwei frowned and asked, “What's going on?”
Duan Hengdao was also completely bewildered, his tone filled with astonishment. “I don't know! The secret realm has only been open for three days!”
Ji Yuan drew his longsword, glanced at the restless demon beasts around them, and said in a low voice, “Let's go. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late.”
With that, the four of them immediately crushed their identity jade tokens and were teleported out of the secret realm.
Right after, the members of the Bishui Sect also crushed their jade tokens and left the secret realm, leaving only the group from the Changming Sect.
Ye Qiao looked at the list of names; those of the other sects' disciples had all dimmed, leaving only the six of them still lit.
“How many demon beasts are we still short of?”
Luo Qingyu looked down at the jade token in her hand and said, “Still short of three hundred.”
Ye Qiao looked up at the crumbling secret realm where rocks were constantly tumbling down. She retrieved Duosun from her storage ring and said with absolute certainty, “Then let's make up the number.”
The disciples of the other sects had already teleported away, leaving only the highly anticipated group from the Changming Sect inside the secret realm.
In the elders' seats, the elder of the Chengfeng Sect was burning with anxiety and barked, “Why aren't those kids coming out yet?”
Qin Fanfan was equally anxious, his eyes glued to the recording stone, not daring to look away for even a second.
Inside the secret realm.
Mu Zhongxi nodded, his tone filled with excitement. “Alright!”
Beside him, Ming Xuan swayed the folding fan in his hand and agreed, “I think that's a good idea too.”
Luo Qingyu: “Either way is fine with me.”
Finally, Xue Yu let out a helpless, long sigh, and seeing the situation, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Zhou Xingyun looked at his junior brothers and sisters, pursed his lips, then turned to Ye Qiao and Mu Zhongxi, speaking in a deep voice, “Watch closely. This is the second stance of the Breeze Technique.”
The Duanchen sword in the youth's hand unsheathed. In an instant, the sword light shone as bright as white snow, leaving only a sweeping coldness wherever it passed.
Luo Qingyu stared blankly. “Oh my god! That is so cool.” She suddenly felt like she wanted to practice the sword too.
The Great Dao was simple, like a gentle breeze and a bright moon.
There were no flashy or elaborate moves.
Ye Qiao and Mu Zhongxi immediately followed Zhou Xingyun's moves and began to imitate them.
Standing to the side, Luo Qingyu looked at Mu Zhongxi howling as he practiced, her face filled with second-hand embarrassment.
Well, she took back what she had just thought. Being a sword cultivator was indeed not easy.
The three of them moved very quickly. Xue Yu looked down at the jade token in his hand and hurriedly called out, “Enough, enough!”
“Let's go quickly!”
Outside, the crowd had fallen dead silent. The elders couldn't help but marvel that this generation of the Changming Sect was truly formidable.
An elder of the Wenjian Sect stroked his beard. “Indeed, they are quite good. Far stronger than our sect's disciples.”
...
As soon as Ye Qiao and her group were teleported out of the secret realm, the onlookers outside immediately swarmed forward to surround them.
“The Changming Sect is out!!”
“Ye Qiao! The way you swung your sword just now was super cool!”
“Ye Qiao, I didn't expect you to be a dual sword and talisman cultivator! I've heard so much about you!”
“Ahhh, Beauty Luo! I didn't expect you to be a talisman cultivator too!”
The group from the Changming Sect was almost buried by the surging crowd.
Just as they were planning to slip away quietly, the voice of the Sect Master of the Wenjian Sect, filled with deep energy, suddenly rang in their ears.
“Who was it?!”
“Who collapsed the secret realm?!”
“Ye Qiao!!”
The Wenjian Sect Master's voice suddenly boomed from behind.
Ye Qiao, who was about to slip away: “...”
“Xue Yu! Ming Xuan!!”
Xue Yu and Ming Xuan lowered their heads, pretending as if nothing had happened.
“Mu Zhongxi! And Zhou Xingyun!!”
Finally, his gaze landed on Luo Qingyu, who was standing nearby. “Luo Qingyu!”
Luo Qingyu offered an apologetic smile. “Um, Sect Master, please don't be angry. Can't we just pay for the damages?”
Sitting in the elimination seats, Ye Qinghan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat in secret.
Seeing this, Zhu You spoke up to comfort him, “Don't worry, Eldest Senior Brother. Senior Brother Luo will be fine.”
“If worst comes to worst, we can just beg Master to let him off.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qinghan actually nodded as if possessed.
The Wenjian Sect Master snorted coldly and said, “Pay up!”
At this moment, Qin Fanfan slowly strolled over to smooth things over, saying, “Oh, Laojun, the secret realm was going to close sooner or later anyway. Demanding money hurts our harmony.”
The Wenjian Sect Master refused to back down an inch, maintaining a firm stance. “No.”
“Do you have any idea how dangerous it is for a secret realm to close prematurely? Pay up.”
Qin Fanfan turned to look at Luo Qingyu behind him and said, “Xiaoyu, pay up.”
