After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 290 Falling out
At first, no one took the coughing seriously, thinking it was just because they had held their breath for too long and then breathed too hard, causing them to have a side stitch.

But as the coughing grew more intense, more people started coughing, and it didn't stop for a long time, someone finally realized something was wrong—

"My throat hurts so much..."

"My throat, my throat..."

"It feels so bad, cough cough."

Jiang Rong was also coughing, and his expression changed upon hearing what everyone was saying.

He also felt a stinging pain in his throat, as if he had accidentally swallowed something irritating, but they had clearly only breathed after coming out of the water and hadn't eaten anything!

"Oh no, there's poison in the air!"

He immediately covered his mouth after he finished speaking and held his breath again.

The others also realized what was happening, covering their mouths and trying to suppress their coughs, their faces turning red from holding it in.

However, this seems to be of little use; once the poison has been absorbed, it is too late to take precautions.

Everyone frantically searched their storage bags, trying to find the right antidote. However, they didn't even know what kind of poison it was, so they could only take a chance and randomly eat the antidotes they had, hoping to get rid of the poison.

However, what made their hearts sink was that, despite taking the antidote, the stinging sensation in their throats did not disappear at all, but instead continued to worsen.

Some people were clutching their necks in pain, trying to suppress the internal pain with external pain, while others took out food or water from their storage bags, hoping to alleviate the symptoms by eating.

But this still failed, because the pain seemed to intensify as the food passed through the esophagus.

"Tsk, what's the use of so many people? Not a single one of them knows how to detoxify."

Mo Jiuwei sat alone on a big tree by the wall, swinging her legs back and forth and twisting her toes.

She held a lemon in her hand and took a bite, the rich juice staining her lips, making them look incredibly moist.

"What should I do...it hurts so much...does anyone have a cure?"

Someone clutched their neck and groaned in pain, looking around for help from their fellow disciples.

"No."

"My antidote pills were ineffective."

"It hurts so much, even talking hurts..."

They all looked pained.

"We didn't go into battle." Jiang Rong, suppressing the pain in his throat, brought everyone even worse news.

"What? How could this happen!"

"We clearly broke the formation; the water level has dropped, hasn't it?"

In their panic, they even forgot about the pain in their throats, and everyone became anxious.

If they break through the formation, they can quickly get out of this hellish place and then seek help from other teams.

But if we can't get out, that would be a real problem!
"I don't know why this formation has changed." Noticing many people glaring at him, Gao Zheng stammered, "Indeed, the formation hasn't been broken, but this sub-formation should be considered passed."

"Pah! Are you even capable? I think it's because your formation-breaking skills are lacking that everyone got poisoned!" someone cursed angrily.

"Exactly, otherwise how could we suddenly be poisoned?"

"If you're not capable, don't try to be tough. Look, you've ruined us all!"

The disciples of Wuya Sect were never united to begin with. They had only managed to stay together to survive, but now that they realized it was all in vain, they all revealed their true colors.

Before that, they had been somewhat friendly towards Gao Zheng, but after realizing that he was completely incapable of saving them, their attitudes changed drastically, and they began to criticize him. Gao Zheng also became angry, "Now you're blaming me? I told you long ago that I'm not good at breaking formations, and weren't you all begging me to do it? Besides, if it weren't for me, you would all have drowned sooner or later!"

"I see you are courting death!"

Some people are already planning to take action.

The sudden outburst of emotions was related to despair, but even more so to the increasingly intense pain in my throat.

This persistent pain gives people almost no time to breathe, and it is so unbearable that it naturally leads to extreme irritability and loss of reason.

In such situations, the most primal reaction is to attack and vent.

"Calm down, everyone! Even if Gao Zheng is terrible, he's still our only array master! If we kill him, who will break through the next array? You, or me?"

Jiang Rong shouted and drew his sword to block Gao Zheng, successfully dissuading those who had murderous intent from leaving.

Gao Zheng clenched his fist. Just moments ago, someone's sword was right in front of him, and he was so frightened that he almost stopped breathing.

"Keep breaking the formation, be bold and do it. At worst, we'll all die here!" Jiang Rong said to Gao Zheng after seeing that the others had stopped.

Gao Zheng knew there was no other way, so he could only nod.

Mo Jiuwei knew that those people could have successfully broken the formation, but she had interfered. Although they were still alive and the poison was not fatal, it was impossible for them to get out of the formation now.

There is only one key point in the formation; once you miss it, you will face certain death.

From this sub-formation downwards, each one is more formidable than the last, almost all of them being certain death traps, and given their strength, they wouldn't be able to withstand even one of them.

Mo Jiuwei didn't want these people to die too soon, after all, the disciples of the Immortal Sect hadn't arrived yet.

So she made a few minor changes, greatly reducing the killing intent of the formation and making it mostly a trap.

After a while, when she heard several footsteps approaching her, Mo Jiuwei found a place to hide.

When Chen Lan arrived with her people, she was very nervous, afraid that everyone would discover her junior sister's presence, which would make it difficult to explain later.

Fortunately, although the junior sister is small, she is always more capable than adults and never causes them any trouble.

Chen Lan breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she had hidden herself.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Immortal Sect had already spotted the disciples of the Black Cliff Sect trapped in the formation.

"Huh, what's this about disciples from another sect? And another sect has entered the secret realm too?"

"Whose faction are they? This outfit looks familiar..."

"I know, these are people from the Black Cliff Sect!"

"What? Wuya Sect??"

Upon hearing this name, the disciples of the Immortal Sect instinctively took a step back.

The Wuya Sect is notorious, and its self-proclaimed righteous disciples have always disliked associating with them.

However, some people, seeing the sorry state of Wuyamen, gradually felt pity for them.

"They look so pitiful."

"It looks like they've been poisoned? I see many of them clutching their necks and coughing."

"We're trapped inside the formation! How terrifying! Luckily, not everyone who came in was trapped here, otherwise we would be the ones trapped."

“We were only gone for a moment, and they came in. It seems they weren’t far from us before.”
