Chapter 14: Her Performance Was Too Convincing

Page 1/3

Suddenly, Feng Xi pointed to a round platform not far away:

“Fifth Senior Brother, is that round platform a teleportation array? Quick! Take out all the spirit stones we have and see if we can activate it!”

Although Jun Wen suspected the teleportation array had been abandoned for thousands of years and might be broken, this was their only lifeline, so he complied immediately.

Poor Jun Wen had just over a thousand spirit stones on him, and he stuffed them all into the slot.

Feng Xi added her remaining five hundred spirit stones as well.

A dazzling white light flashed, and the two disappeared from the round platform.

Almost at the same time, the entire mine cave collapsed with a thunderous roar.

Such a commotion naturally caught the attention of the Xuantian Sect.

At first, no one paid much mind, since it was just an abandoned mine cave. A collapse wasn’t a big deal.

But soon, a disciple from the East Peak reported that before the collapse, he had seen Jun Wen and Feng Xi heading in that direction.

Xiao Baidao’s head buzzed.

At first, he still held onto a sliver of hope, but after failing to contact the two and searching everywhere in vain, panic set in completely.

His two disciples might have been buried alive!

He hurriedly led people to excavate the mine.

After half a day, they finally cleared the debris, but there was no sign of Jun Wen or Feng Xi.

The East Peak’s Master Gu immediately said, “Sect Leader, perhaps the two of them never actually entered the mine.”

Xiao Baidao shook his head. “I’ve asked the sect guards. They didn’t leave the sect, and Feng Xi is a well-behaved child; she wouldn’t leave without permission.”

At this moment, Luo, the Hall Master of the Law Transmission Hall, spoke: “Sect Leader, there are signs the teleportation array was activated. They should have been sent to the second level of the mine.”

Xiao Baidao and the others hurried to check and found faint spiritual energy residues on the round platform, confirming it had been recently used.

Then everyone fell into a dilemma again. There were two ways to get to the second level: activate the teleportation platform or dig through on-site.

But now, the teleportation array was damaged and needed time to repair.

And it wasn’t a quick fix. Since this was an ancient teleportation array from the primordial era, they had to figure out how to restore it, which could take two or three months.

Digging on-site was even more impossible!

The mine had just collapsed and was extremely unstable. Reckless excavation could cause the second level to collapse as well.

If that happened, it wouldn’t be rescuing but harming them!

Biting his teeth, Xiao Baidao sent a message to Bai Li Muchen of the Hun Yuan Sect.

The gist was a request for an elder skilled in arrays to come help repair the teleportation array. He promised to agree to any condition as long as the repair was done quickly.

Among the Four Great Sects, the Hun Yuan Sect had the strongest array formation expertise.

Bai Li Muchen actually agreed but imposed a very harsh condition.

For this Tianhen Secret Realm, Xuantian Sect would give most of its places to the Hun Yuan Sect, keeping only ten spots for themselves.

Xiao Baidao gritted his teeth and accepted.

Though other senior leaders of Xuantian Sect felt the pain deeply, no one voiced objections.

Talent is everything.

Xiao Baidao was also hurting inside, cursing silently that Feng Xi was a well-behaved good child who wouldn’t cause such trouble—this was definitely some rotten idea cooked up by that little bastard Jun Wen!

Achoo! Achoo!

Bound tightly, Jun Wen sneezed twice.

“Have the guts to untie me! I’ll fight you for three hundred rounds!”

Feng Xi, lying on the ground nearby, said weakly, “Fifth Senior Brother, save your strength. Even if they let you go, you still can’t beat them.”

Jun Wen was stung to the heart!

After they were teleported to the second level of the mine, they hadn’t even opened their eyes before getting beaten down.

The demon clan.

Who would have thought there was a demon clan presence on the abandoned second level of the mine?

This was the Xuantian Sect, one of the Four Great Sects!

At this moment, someone chuckled sinisterly: “You human trash are more sensible than this stubborn dead duck!”

Black demonic energy appeared in his palm, twisting and writhing like a venomous snake.

“A genius disciple of the human race? Heh, if you get tainted by demonic energy, do you think your kind would treat you as a traitor and kill you?

I love watching your human race tear each other apart...”

Jun Wen was about to curse loudly when Feng Xi raised her small face and said:

“Sir, you think just like me!

I also enjoy watching humans fight amongst themselves, especially those hypocrites who claim to be righteous. Watching dogs bite dogs is the best entertainment!

But your method is too merciful. At most, only my senior brother would die.

Why don’t you turn both of us into your demon clan spies? We can then sow discord among the Four Great Sects, making them destroy each other.

When rivers run red with blood and corpses lie everywhere, wouldn’t that be thrilling!”

The elder wearing a black mask stared at Feng Xi:

“Little girl, you think such petty tricks can fool me?

You just want to pretend to surrender and find an opportunity to escape, don’t you?”

Feng Xi sighed: “It’s normal for you to be suspicious. After all, there’s a saying: ‘Those not of my kind harbor different hearts.’

But what I say is true.

Do you know how my dantian was fractured?

It was caused by Shen Zhi Lan, a direct disciple of the Hun Yuan Sect!

That old bastard Bai Li Muchen not only didn’t stand up for me but demoted me to menial labor.

His second disciple even tried to kill me!

How could I not hate them?!

I finally came to Xuantian Sect, but it’s such a poor sect.

Bad food, bad clothes, not to mention cultivation resources!

Xiao Baidao even made rules forcing me to pay respects before dawn. Poor little me has lost more than ten pounds in just half a month!

So I hate it!

Why does everyone else’s dantian remain whole while only mine is fractured?

Why do others eat well while I have to eat chaff and grass?

I want everyone to suffer...”

Jun Wen looked at Feng Xi’s grim expression: “...”

For a moment, he couldn’t tell if she was acting or speaking from the heart.

Rationally, he thought his junior sister wasn’t such a twisted person.

But her act was too convincing!

Even he almost believed it.

The elder with the black mask was also about eighty percent convinced. After all, under his oppressive presence, no one could lie so smoothly.

Yet, he still harbored some doubts.

At this moment, Feng Xi added: “Sir, there’s another reason why I want to join the demon clan.

With my dantian fractured, I definitely can’t practice human cultivation techniques anymore.

But I heard the demon clan has many strange techniques. Maybe there’s one suitable for me.

If you can help me find a fitting cultivation method, I Feng Xi swear to serve the demon clan diligently and conscientiously!

I was born a demon clan member, and I will die a demon clan ghost...”

Jun Wen: ...You’re not serious, are you?!
