After transmigrating into the body of a junior sister of a celestial sect, the cultivation world wen

Shi Yinghan squatted down and carefully examined the several severed arms on the ground.

The severed arm had turned a bloodless, bluish-gray color.

The arm was hard and could not be bent, indicating that the owner of the severed arm had been dead for some time.

Lu Qingyan reached out, and a pleasant fragrance wafted from her sleeve.

Then, without hesitation, that hand covered Ning Yue's eyes.

Ning Yue: "..."

The child is too young; I can't bear to see him.

Ning Yue secretly peeked through the gap between Lu Qingyan's fingers.

This place seems dangerous indeed. I wonder what Qi Xucheng is doing here.

Shi Yinghan used a spell to clear away the remains on the ground before returning.

The stench of blood in the air grew stronger and stronger, to the point that it was almost nauseating.

Even Duan Huailin's barrier couldn't stop the smell from flooding into his nasal cavity.

A chill ran down his spine, and he heard a sticky, rubbing sound in his ear. Ning Yue abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Lu Qingyan watched Ning Yue's expression and actions, and the bamboo flute in her hand was already held up to her lips.

Everyone tacitly stopped in their tracks.

He looked up at the dark shadow ahead.

Ning Yue finally realized where that sticky, rubbing sound was coming from—

A huge, rat-shaped spirit beast was curled up on the ground, and from its crunching mouth, you could see half a leg that hadn't been chewed.

Those were the clothes worn by the disciples of the Purgatory Sect.

Ning Yue wore a look that was hard to describe.

Honestly, she's more afraid of mice than snakes.

Especially the fat, large rats!

The rat-shaped spirit beast was quite large, with its small, bright red eyes squinting contentedly, and its two sharp front paws were munching on a bloody mess.

Ning Yue didn't want to look at what exactly he was chewing on, but out of the corner of her eye she suddenly caught sight of a figure!

She subtly moved her head and carefully examined the area.

Knowing that mice have keen hearing, she deliberately paid attention to her movements and did not make too much noise.

The figure was standing beside the rat-shaped spirit beast, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, as if it were carefully observing the spirit beast eating.

Ning Yue narrowed his eyes, finally feeling a sense of familiarity.

—That person is Qi Xucheng!

Qi Xucheng watched calmly as the spirit beast finished eating what was in its mouth and then threw something on the ground.

The rat-shaped spirit beast sniffed incessantly, its whiskers rising and falling with each movement, and a stench of blood rushed up to the top of its head with each action.

Yang Fei covered his nose, finally unable to hold it in any longer: "Ugh—!"

The giant rat paused, its sharp red eyes instantly turning towards the group.

Ning Yue: "..."

Shi Yinghan reacted extremely quickly, immediately pinching two fingers together. A flash of blue light appeared, and a tree branch not far from the group fell down with a rustle.

The giant rat's attention was quickly diverted; it approached the fallen branch and sniffed it a few times.

Because the branches were beside them, the giant rat's figure exuded a great sense of oppression as it approached.

The group remained motionless to prevent the giant rat from noticing anything.

Yang Fei has a criminal record, and at this moment he is tightly covering his mouth and nose with both hands, afraid that he will vomit again.

Ning Yue, with great foresight, followed Yang Fei's example and covered his mouth and nose with his hand.

Song Yishi's expression was very tense. Her fingertips kept moving, and her fingers flew quickly without being noticed by the giant rat.

Soon, a stack of talismans was drawn.

Song Yishi held his breath and glanced at each of them. Then, several faint white lights flashed by.

The talisman in his hand disappeared, and at the same time, Ning Yue felt his presence diminish, and the fishy smell at the tip of his nose gradually lessened.

Ning Yue lowered his hand, and could barely smell the stench of the giant rat anymore; it was just the normal smell of blood.

Ning Yue had never found the smell of blood so easy to endure.

Yang Fei also noticed something, lowered his hand, and sniffed around.

The giant rat finally turned around and walked away from the group.

Song Yishi: "The Concealment Talisman isolates one's aura for a short period of time, making it difficult for others to detect one's presence."

Yang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Senior sister really saved my life, if you had gone any slower I would have thrown up again."

Song Yishi glanced at Yang Fei with disdain: "Junior Sister is still so young, and she didn't even throw up at the sight of this, but you threw up first."

Yang Fei closed his eyes and took a breath to calm himself down: "My nose is too sensitive, it's my fault, it's my fault."

Shi Yinghan suddenly took a step forward, her eyes fixed on what was ahead.

Ning Yue was the first to notice and followed Shi Yinghan's gaze.

— Qi Xucheng had arrived in front of them without them noticing.

He stood there, his sleeves fluttering, his eyes lowered as he looked at Ning Yue, his gaze seemingly filled with thick, unyielding ink.

Ning Yue didn't understand what his look meant.

Shi Yinghan took a step toward Ning Yue, blocking Qi Xucheng's view.

"What are you doing here?"

Qi Xucheng chuckled: "I should be asking you what you're doing here? Did you follow me?"

"Who's so free to follow you around?" Yang Fei said disdainfully. "But we just happened to arrive at this weird place."

Qi Xucheng didn't reply, but suddenly turned his head to look at the giant rat.

As he turned to the side, a white figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Ning Yue frowned and looked at it, slightly surprised.

—It is Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally trying to avoid Ning Yue's gaze, only glancing at him at the very beginning before hurriedly looking away.

Ning Yue raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

I just felt that both of them, the senior and junior siblings, were very strange.

Ning Yue pointed to the giant rat sniffing around nearby: "What is that?"

Qi Xucheng glanced at Ning Yue's hand, pondered for a moment, and finally answered.

"That's a giant alien rat, a spirit beast from outside the Azure Valley Secret Realm. I don't know how it got into the Secret Realm. It ate too many rare and precious herbs and ended up like this."

Yang Fei scoffed, "Are you kidding me? I've never heard of any spirit beast that eats its way up to this size after entering a secret realm. This is definitely not the size of an ordinary spirit beast."

Qi Xucheng glanced at Yang Fei and said coldly, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Yang Fei did not argue, knowing what was going on, and only looked at Qi Xucheng with scrutinizing eyes.

"That giant rat spirit beast just now ate one of your sect's disciples," Shi Yinghan reminded him calmly.

Qi Xucheng paused, as if he hadn't expected that the scene had been witnessed.

But that moment of awkwardness quickly disappeared, and Qi Xucheng stood up with a flick of his sleeve, his voice devoid of any emotion.

"They were not strong enough, and there was nothing they could do when they were devoured by beasts."

Ning Yue kept staring at Qi Xucheng, completely disbelieving. Qi Xucheng's momentary unease might have escaped others' notice, but it certainly couldn't have escaped Ning Yue's eyes.

There's definitely something going on.

Ning Yue subtly moved to a position within the protective barrier, where he could still clearly observe Chu Zhi's location.

Chu Zhi was trembling slightly, half of her body hidden behind Qi Xucheng's robe.

Her expression was obscured, but her fingers were twisting her clothes tightly.

Ning Yue narrowed his eyes scrutinizingly.
