After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Oh no!

The situation was too chaotic at the time. A large number of offensive spells were thrown at the square at great speed, and the restrictions on the square were shattered in just a few breaths. It was clear that they came prepared.

Besides the emerald green flying sword aimed at him, Xiao Yu also caught a glimpse of a dark black blade of energy slashing towards him, its momentum astonishing.

Tie Yanran probably noticed this and was forced to move away from Xiao Yu and the others, which is why they weren't teleported to the same location in the Phoenix Hill Secret Realm together.

However, after the initial panic, Xiao Yu calmed down.

Tie Yanran herself possessed the cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm, and with the Righteous Qi Technique by her side, she wouldn't suffer any major losses in the Phoenix Hill Secret Realm.

Similarly, there's nothing to worry about with the Three Flower Goddess. She's also at the Golden Core Realm, but with the limitations of the secret realm, her highest combat strength is only around the peak of the Golden Core Realm. As long as she's not subjected to concentrated firepower, she's generally untouchable.

In contrast, Xiao Yu was more worried about the situation of divination by outsiders.

He looked at the towering tree that stood against the sky, a look of worry flashing in his eyes.

The outside world doesn't have the clear realm restrictions like secret realms; all sorts of monsters and demons can appear there.

such as……

A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!!!

Outside the secret gate of Fengqiu.

Bu Suantian huddled in the room, her soft, chubby face stiff with shock.

Despite her disbelief, she consulted the oracle several more times, but the divination results clearly showed that the person leading the rogue cultivators to attack the secret realm was a genuine Nascent Soul Realm expert.

Although the divination indicates that due to the suppression of certain Great Daos, his strength has been reduced to only the Nascent Soul Realm, it is still enough for him to easily defeat the powerless little glutinous rice ball.

Oh no, oh no, oh no... Could it be that death is knocking on our door?!

If this trend continues, I'll be affected too.

Listening to the commotion outside the inn, which sounded like bandits breaking into a village and burning, killing, and looting everywhere, it seemed that they had already surrounded the Fengqiu Secret Realm. Bu Suantian clutched the jade pendant that Xiao Yu had given her, her body trembling and shrinking into a ball.

at this time.

dong dong!

"Hmm? Is anyone in this room?"

Hey hey hey hey hey... Look, you can't see me, you can't see me.

Inside the room, a pillow that should have been lying quietly on the bed was trembling violently as if it contained some kind of egg.

…………

However, recalling Bu Suantian's incredible skill in playing hide-and-seek, he should be able to evade danger and be fine.

They turned their gaze away from the shadow of the giant tree.

Xiao Yu nodded, looking confident. After all, Bu Suantian's hide-and-seek technique was a perfect replica in terms of both weight and appearance.

Just then, the girl in black robes also recovered from the panic of losing her cat:

"Ah...ah...Ye Bafei...I'm so sorry, I promised Bu Suanzi I'd bring you the big flower, but because I wasn't careful, it accidentally escaped..."

She bowed her head solemnly to Xiao Yu, looking extremely remorseful, and said in a resolute tone:

"Don't worry, I'll go find it right now."

“Hey… Black Demon, it’s not that bad. The situation was urgent, and you did it to save me.”

Seeing the black-robed girl's determined expression, as if she wouldn't give up until she found the cat for Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu hurriedly tried to dissuade her:

"If you're worried about it, there's no need to worry. Don't forget, it actually belongs to one of our sect's guardian elders, who has the cultivation of the Golden Core Realm. He's not afraid of any danger in this secret realm."

"No, this is different. I already promised the fortune teller that I would send her cat to you. She said that if I didn't send Big Flower to you and let it keep an eye on you, she would die, and die a terrible death."

Although I don't know if it's true or not, her expression at the time was always very important. If it didn't work out, it would be my fault.

Moreover, as the boss, I can't go back on my word after promising to do something for my little brother. The Phoenix Hill Secret Realm is just a small place. I'll find it for you right away..." The girl in black patted her chest, looking like she wouldn't give up until she found the cat.

will die?

Well... in a way, that's true, but it wasn't urgent enough to be found immediately.

And... when did Bu Suantian become your little brother?

What kind of relationship did you two have when you were sleeping in the same room for those three days?!

Just as Xiao Yu was completely bewildered and trying to figure out the relationship between the two,

Suddenly, the girl in black robes grabbed the hem of her clothes and ripped off the skin that had been with her since her first appearance.

Xiao Yu hurriedly covered his eyes. What was he trying to do by suddenly taking off his clothes like that?

However, through the gaps between his fingers, he discovered that the girl in the black robe was not naked in front of everyone. Even without the cover of the black robe, large and small purple poisonous mists still floated on her body, just like that damned holy light, completely obscuring her vital parts, making it impossible to see clearly through the fog.

Perhaps, taking off her clothes was simply a way for her to better carry out her schemes.

This was also the first time Xiao Yu had seen the black-robed girl in full. She had purple hair and pink eyes, and her figure was similar to that of the girl from the Divination Heaven, but she was a bit taller.

"Since we're in the secret realm, I have no more worries and I'm not afraid of harming innocent people. I, Ziyun, swear on my name that I will find the cat for you. Wait for me, I'm coming right away!"

Having said that, before Xiao Yu could say anything more to refuse, Zi Yun lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her snow-white, soft body, along with the poisonous mist on her body, turned into a cloud of poisonous gas and quickly flew away into the distance with the wind.

Its speed was extremely fast, even Xiao Yu could not catch up with it when he used all his strength to control his sword.

Leaving now?

Xiao Yu stared blankly at the direction the poisonous gas had left.

Although he knew from the beginning that the girl in black robes was loyal and had no idea what was going on in her mind, he still thought she was at least somewhat like a Golden Core cultivator. But now it seems he overestimated her.

"Hmm... So this girl dressed in black robes is Zi Yun, the Five Poisons Saintess who has recently gained fame in the Five Poisons Sect?"

As expected of the Five Elements Poison Body, which is most compatible with the Five Poison Saintess's techniques, she can already use the technique of transforming into poison gas at the Golden Core stage. And she seems quite skilled at it. Remarkable..."

At the same time, Linglong, who was also looking in the direction the black-robed girl had left, spoke up.

Xiao Yu turned to look at her and saw a look of surprise on her jade-like face.

This scene was indeed beyond her expectations. She never imagined that Xiao Yu's seemingly makeshift sect team contained a Holy Maiden of the Five Poisons Sect.

I don't know how she got here. This year's Holy Maiden of the Five Poisons Sect is the sect's darling, after all, the Five Elements Poison Body and the Five Poisons Sect's techniques are a perfect match.

The Five Poisons Sect had been planning for nearly a century to wait for such a genius to be born.

The poison gas that the black-robed girl used to travel was a famous supernatural power of the Five Poisons Sect. It is usually only used by those who have immersed themselves in the path of poison for many years and have gained some understanding of the Great Dao.

The Five Elements Poison Body... it's truly favored by the Poison Dao.

This also explains why the girl in the black robe doesn't like wearing clothes.

Because of the characteristics of the Five Elements Poison Body, the black-robed girl always uses her moves based on transforming into poison gas in every fight. Her clothes will be scattered all over the ground. Only her body turns into poison gas; her clothes will not change along with it.

This leads to an extremely embarrassing situation: during a fight, clothes will fall to the ground, and even underwear will be exposed, which is extremely embarrassing.

After the fight, you have to find your clothes, pick them up, and put them on. It's embarrassing and troublesome at the same time. If your clothes are destroyed by the aftershocks of the fight, you'll be running around naked.

To solve this problem, one must wait until one reaches a higher level of Nascent Soul cultivation and has a deeper understanding of the Dao of Poison, so that one can wrap one's clothes in poisonous gas.

Forget about it if you're below the Nascent Soul stage.

So, the girl in black robes came up with a perfect solution.

I simply won't wear it.

This method achieves two goals at once: it not only disrupts the enemy's vision and distracts them during combat, but also saves them the trouble of taking off and putting on clothes during battle.

Xiao Yu didn't know the specific reasons for these events. All he knew was that the girl in black robes had left, leaving only him, Feng Ling, and the woman dressed as a Taoist nun on the field.

Two against one.

There shouldn't be any problem.

As long as he isn't alone with this Taoist nun named Linglong, it's fine.

"Oh, right, since that's the case, according to our initial agreement, forming a team is only for entering the secret realm, and we won't be bound by each other afterward. After all, everyone has their own things to do. I'll be going now, Ye Ba. There seems to be a fire over there, I'll go take a look."

Feng Ling waved her hand and turned to leave in the opposite direction from the girl in black robes.

what! ! !

"Hey, no... Haha, Feng Ling, it's still quite dangerous for a woman like you to be alone in this vast secret realm. Why don't we go together? It's perfect timing, I'm quite scared to be alone in the secret realm."

As he spoke, Xiao Yu secretly winked at Feng Ling.

Don't leave me alone. This Taoist nun is acting very strangely, Feng Ling... you should understand what I mean, right?!

"It's alright, Hei Sha is alone too, isn't she? Hmm... that's all, I'll be going now."

Unexpectedly, Feng Ling seemed not to have noticed Xiao Yu's little gesture. She waved her hand gently, her bright eyes narrowed into slits, and she walked away slowly with light steps.

?

Isn't this right? !

Xiao Yu sensed an unusual aura. Soon, a scorching breath from behind hit the back of his neck, interrupting his thoughts.

"Fellow Daoist, don't you want to travel through this secret realm alone? It just so happens that I've also become separated from my original group. Why don't we travel together?"

Xiao Yu's expression tightened...

broken!

They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead!

Chapter Four: Knock the person unconscious, stuff them into a sack, and take them away.

"This secret realm is far more desolate than I imagined! It's also very large. It seems it will take a while to find the others. But then again... judging from the surroundings, this secret realm has probably been formed for some time."

Oh...by the way, I, Linglong, am a rogue cultivator who was forced to join a sect to search for treasures in the secret realm. May I ask your identity, fellow Daoist?

"Ye Ba...you can just call me Ye Ba."

Xiao Yu covered his face and skillfully gave a fake name. When traveling, one's identity is of utmost importance. How could he possibly tell his real name to a complete stranger? Didn't you see that even in front of Feng Ling and the others, Xiao Yu used Ye Ba's fake name?

Not to mention this Taoist nun who appeared out of nowhere, clearly with ulterior motives, deliberately trying to get close to him.
