God-Slaying Blade

As the aroma of roasting meat wafted from the campfire, a figure emerged gently from the valley.

When Chen Guo'er saw Qin Jue and Zhao Qingmeng not far away, she was first taken aback, then overjoyed: "You liar, so you didn't leave! You were still here grilling meat and waiting for me!"

Qin Jue smiled wryly: "You're overthinking it. When I came out, my sister-in-law was already grilling meat here, which is why I didn't leave."

Chen Guo'er was quite annoyed to see that Qin was not deliberately waiting for her.

From birth until now, she has always been the center of attention, pampered and spoiled wherever she goes...

Only with Qin Jue did she not only fail to receive normal enthusiasm, but she also seemed to be somewhat unwelcome.

"Is the poison in your body completely cleared?" Qin Jue asked casually.

"Yes. It should all be cleared out." Chen Guo'er said, walking over and bowing to Zhao Qingmeng, "This is my name, sister. Although I entered the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm with the Feng family, I am not one of them."

Zhao Qingmeng smiled and said, "I heard it from Xiao Jue. Miss Chen, please sit down, the barbecue will be ready soon."

"Thank you, sister. Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'm really hungry." Chen Guo'er chuckled and sat down without any hesitation.

"Have you figured out how to deal with the Feng family?" Qin Jue asked.

Chen Guo'er snorted, "Why should I explain to them? Once I leave the secret realm, I'll go straight back to the sect. When I get back, I'll tell my master about the Feng family's scheme against me."

Of course, I will also tell my master that I killed Feng Yaoran after seeing through his treacherous intentions. Although this will cause some trouble for the sect, it will still be easier than you facing the Feng family directly.

Qin Jue chuckled and said, "That's a great idea. Go ahead and do it."

Chen Guo'er: "..."

Zhao Qingmeng divided the roasted meat into four pieces. Da Bai smelled the aroma and rushed back, with a purple Ganoderma lucidum in its mouth.

Chen Guo'er said enviously, "Your spirit beast can actually go out and find spiritual materials for you on its own. That's so enviable."

Qin Jue smiled and said, "There should always be some difference between spirit beasts and exotic beasts."

"Show-off," Chen Guo'er snorted.

"Hurry up and eat, there's not much time left. You should at least take some spiritual herbs back with you to make it look proper," Qin Jue teased.

Chen Guo'er's face darkened with annoyance. The thought that Qin Juezhen had taken all her spoils from the secret realm made the roasted meat in her hands lose its appeal...

Meanwhile, Qin Jue had already wolfed down his portion of roasted meat.

"Sister-in-law, we should continue our journey," Qin Jue said, standing up.

Zhao Qingmeng looked at the third of the roasted meat she had just eaten and said helplessly, "You're in too much of a hurry."

Qin Jue laughed and said, "Once we leave the secret realm, rare and precious materials won't be so easy to find. We can get some rest when we get back."

"Yes. Miss Chen, we'll be going now." Zhao Qingmeng clasped her hands in a fist salute to Chen Guo'er and smiled.

"Okay, see you later!"

Chen Guo'er felt quite helpless; neither of these two had intended to include her...

Alright, she's a Grandmaster, so let her go alone!

A little over a day passed quickly.

Just then, Qin Jue saw a blue jasmine flower and was about to reach out to pick it when he suddenly felt a tremor in the space.

"It seems the secret realm will be completely sealed off."

Qin Jue's heart sank. He plucked the blue jasmine flower and rushed towards the big white dog.

"Sister-in-law, the secret realm is about to close, but they should be sending us out soon. I'll put Big White away first!"

"good!"

Zhao Qingmeng quickly jumped off the back of the white dog.

Swish.

The giant white beast transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the spirit beast pouch at Qin Jue's waist.

Sure enough, the next moment an irresistible invisible force arose in the space, enveloping the two of them.

hum!hum!

In a flash of white light, the two figures seemed to be swallowed up by space, disappearing without a trace.

In an instant, the two felt their bodies being pushed by a powerful force. With a blur, they found themselves above Qifeng Valley, plummeting downwards.

Besides the two of them, there were more than a dozen other figures, all doing the same thing.

Bang!

One of them was slammed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood...

Having regained its footing, the people below were stunned by this scene...

How come someone was half-dead from the fall?

"Elder, save...save me..." The young man, who had fallen to the ground, cried out for help in the direction of the valley.

He was lucky; he managed to hold on until the end of the secret realm despite his severe injuries.

After being transported out by the power of the secret realm, they no longer had the strength to stabilize themselves.

Qin Jue withdrew his gaze from the young man who had landed and instead glanced at the others around him.

He remembered that more than fifty people had entered the secret realm, but only seventeen had come out alive.

Among the crowd, several familiar figures were missing.

"Senior Sister Zhuo... Senior Brother Wang... Senior Brother Sun... Junior Sister Qiao... none of them came out alive!" Zhao Qingmeng's gaze frantically searched for a moment before her eyes turned red.

"Senior Sister Zhao, sob sob..."

Xu Qianqian burst into tears and rushed over to throw herself into Zhao Qingmeng's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Including Qin Jue, a total of eight people from Suyun Sect went in, but only four of them came out alive.

Such losses can be described as devastating.

Qin Jue couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the path of martial arts was indeed so cruel!

Martial arts practitioners may seek opportunities, but those opportunities could also cost them their lives.

"Let's go, let's meet up with the elders first." Qin Jue said, and took the lead in flying towards the direction where An Tairan, He Tianxue and the others were.

"Miss Chen, where is Yaoran!" Suddenly, a somewhat urgent, thunderous voice echoed through the valley.

Chen Guo'er glanced coldly at Feng Wuji and said indifferently, "Second Master Feng, that's a very strange question. You haven't even entered the secret realm, so how do you know that Feng Yaoran is with me?"

Feng Wuji's expression froze.

Feng Yuanxi, who was standing not far from Chen Guo'er, quickly explained, "Guo'er, don't overthink it. My second brother just saw you first and then casually asked you a question."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly it!" Feng Wuji quickly chimed in.

Chen Guo'er said calmly, "I see. I did see him a few days ago and even teamed up with him. But later I thought he was too slow and was holding me back, so I parted ways with him, and I haven't seen him since."

The three members of the Feng family all turned pale.

Chen Guo'er and Feng Yaoran broke up? Have they never seen each other again?

Now that Feng Yaoran has failed to emerge, he must have perished in the secret realm!

"Chen Guo'er! How could you separate from my third brother! My Feng family gave you a spot because we hoped you could protect some of my Feng family members! You... you actually abandoned my third brother! And caused him to die in the secret realm. Do you deserve the spot my Feng family gave you?" Feng Baizhi roared at Chen Guo'er with a livid face.

Chen Guo'er frowned and looked at Feng Yuanxi: "Yuanxi, is this what you mean by giving me this spot? Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Feng Yuanxi was completely frozen at this moment, unable to even muster a single expression.

Chen Guo'er has abandoned Feng Yaoran!

That prodigy nephew, on whom the family placed great hopes, died in the secret realm!

After calming down a bit, Feng Yuanxi clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she asked, "Guo'er, did you and Yaoran really separate in the secret realm? Or did something else happen?"

Chen Guo'er frowned and said, "Yuanxi, what do you mean by that? Do you think Feng Yaoran's downfall has anything to do with me? Although I'm not close to the Feng family, they did give me a spot, and besides, you're my best friend. Your nephew is my nephew too. What reason would I have to harm my own nephew?"
