"When we were preparing to leave the secret realm," Ling Hua continued, "we still encountered danger. The spiritual fire that could smelt cultivators below the Soul Severing Realm suddenly became violent and blocked our retreat."

Below the Soul-Slaying Realm... at that time, Fei Yao, Ling Hua and the others were at most at the Golden Core Nascent Soul Stage, and they were truly powerless when faced with such danger.

"And Feiyao sacrificed herself to save you?" Tang Xin nodded. "It's a pity..."

"No, under Feiyao's leadership, we successfully passed through the spiritual fire," Linghua shook his head and said, "Then, we encountered other monks possessed by the 'fire spirit'."

The fire spirit is said to be a magical soul that lives in the spiritual fire. It can attach itself to the monks, devour their souls, and control their bodies. It will then throw the monks away after they are burned out inside and out.

"And Feiyao sacrificed herself to help you resist the fire spirit?" Tang Xin nodded. "It is indeed a pity..."

"No, under Feiyao's leadership, we successfully defeated the possessed monk and reached the next area," Linghua shook his head and said, "Then, we entered an area full of space cracks."

"...Under Feiyao's leadership, you successfully passed through the space crack area, right?" Tang Xin's mouth twitched. "Isn't this senior sister named Feiyao a little too powerful?"

"No," Ling Hua still shook his head, "We really encountered a problem this time..."

……

"I'm dead," Yu Lingzi panted, "I'm definitely dead this time. The leader is really a fool. He didn't even give me a teleportation talisman. I'll just have to try my luck!"

"There will be a way."

Fei Yao frowned and looked at the space gaps that filled the entire area, as if trying to find a way out from them.

"Why don't we retreat back," Ling Hua whispered, "and join up with the monks who are still awake. Maybe we can still have a chance of survival. This is the safest option..."

"Not good," Feiyao shook her head. "It's safe, but it's like handing the possibility over to someone else. I don't like this feeling."

"But, but," Ling Hua emphasized his tone and his voice became louder, "It's worse to take risks blindly, right? Sometimes, why not take a step back..."

Perhaps because she had rarely seen Ling Hua argue so loudly before, Fei Yao looked at her youngest sister in surprise.

"Linghua," she rubbed the girl's head and said with a smile, "Very good, you are finally able to boldly put forward your own opinions."

"How about this, the next step is up to you," said the eldest sister. "I have always believed that you can become the key person."

……

"I should be able to guess it this time," Tang Xin suddenly realized, "Is it because you chose the safest plan and encountered a disaster while joining other cultivators? Feiyao sacrificed herself to save you?"

It must be correct. Considering the Seventh Elder's performance after he lost his power, it is absolutely true!

"No, under my leadership, the three of us successfully joined up with the other monks..."

"I guess chicken!"

Why don’t any of you play by the rules?

"This is also the most wrong decision I have ever made in my life..."

At this point, the Seventh Elder's tone paused, and his palms unconsciously clenched.

"It seems safe to rashly join up with others without gathering any information, but it is actually extremely stupid!"

"what happens?"

Tang Xin asked cautiously.

"I was ambushed and lost all my strength in an instant... The situation was very hopeless. Except for the happy-go-lucky senior sister, everyone else was lifeless. I overlooked this point and the psychological pressure that everyone, who were still disciples, were under."

In desperate situations, either you never give up and stick to your heart like Feiyao, or... collapse.

Unexpectedly, after solving so many life-threatening problems, he was eventually seriously injured at the hands of a monk he knew.

"I was scared at the time," Ling Hua said self-deprecatingly, "I was really scared. I've experienced life and death tests before, but none of them were as real as this time. If I wasn't so scared, I should have chosen to end my life at the time, so that I wouldn't have dragged down Senior Sister..."

Even if there were three intact people, it would be difficult to escape from the secret realm.

With a severely injured Ling Hua, the result is self-evident...

After saying this, Ling Hua fell completely silent.

Why she was so angry about losing her powers, why she was so aggressive after losing them, it all stemmed from…guilt.

The Seventh Elder, who seems to be the most relaxed person in the sect, has actually been carrying this guilt for half his life.

She felt so guilty that she lost her usual composure and rationality.

Everyone has a reverse scale, and her reverse scale is Xuanling Sect’s eldest senior sister Fei Yao.

"what?"

After listening to all the stories, Tang Xin kicked the Seventh Elder who was sitting on the ground twice and complained.

"You're so depressed over such a trivial matter? I thought it was no big deal!"

Chapter 388 Frictional Heat

Linghua raised her head.

"Feiyao's death does sound like it has something to do with you," Tang Xin explained while standing, "but this is not the most fundamental factor."

"The most... fundamental factor?"

The Seventh Elder frowned.

"Yes, the most fundamental factor is that you are not strong enough," she continued, "No matter who it was, if you were a little stronger at the time, you might have been able to escape danger."

"Do you understand? Strength, strength is the key to everything!"

Tang Xin's words seemed to make sense at first glance, but in fact they were complete nonsense... No matter how strong you are, there will always be things that cannot be solved.

If they had been strong enough at that time, they would not have been in danger at the beginning, let alone the series of events that followed.

But these words are enough to enlighten a "smart" beautiful elder.

"Also, since it has already happened, no matter how much you bother yourself, it will be useless," Tang Xin said, with her hands on her hips, "There is a contemporary Xuanling Sect senior sister standing in front of you!"

Linghua looked at her straight.

Where there is a younger one, there must be an older one. Since Su Ling is the master, this kind of verbal attack should be effective, right?

Didn’t you see that the beautiful elder’s eyes were already filled with tears?

"Ha, hahahaha." Ling Hua was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly rolled on the ground laughing. "How old are you? You're pretending to be mature in front of me. You don't think I'm as easy to deal with as those girls you met, right? It's really hilarious!"

"..."

Tang Xin couldn't help it and kicked her again.

With these two, one big and one small, neither of them is worry-free!

However, after this, the Seventh Elder seemed to have recovered from his "I'm a fool" state and stood up again.

"It's really embarrassing for me to say this to a junior who has never even tasted the joy of love," she stretched her shoulders. "It's time for you to shoulder your responsibilities as an elder. Look, I'll lead us out easily!"

The Seventh Elder walked confidently to the cell door.

after a little while.

"Tang Xin——" Ling Hua wanted to cry but couldn't, "I can't get out at all, what should I do?"

"You ask me what to do, how do I know..."

The cells that hold the monks are all specially customized. Not to mention that they have no strength at all, even their storage bags have been taken away, so they can't use any treasures they want.

[Generating options...]

[Option 1: "I'm stubborn!" Bang your head against the door. ]

[100% success rate, reward: one wound patch.]

[Option 2: "I have hard teeth!" Use your mouth to chew the door. ]

[100% success rate, a box of oral hemostatic ointment as reward. ]

[Option 3: "How about... try to generate heat through friction?" Raise your body temperature and try to break the seal. ]

[100% success rate, a pack of napkins as reward.]

"..."

Headbutting and biting are both 100% successful. Can anyone explain the principle behind this...

Tang Xin swallowed.

Since the system says it is 100% successful, it will definitely not cheat. Maybe she is really gifted, and the structure of her head and teeth is different from that of ordinary people?

But... isn't this too embarrassing?

She has not yet reached Ling Hua's level and is incapable of doing such a shameful thing!

After much hesitation, the eldest sister gave up on kissing him and turned to look at the seductive Seventh Elder.

"What do you want to do?"

The Seventh Elder looked at her with eyes that were like those of a hungry wolf and subconsciously took two steps back.

"I have a special secret method," Tang Xin said solemnly, "As long as I raise my body temperature, I can break the seal that others have placed on me... You should know how to raise my body temperature in this situation, right?"

"Nonsense! I have never heard of this secret method!"

Ling Hua retorted.

"Alright," Tang Xin raised his hands and licked his lips. "Didn't you just look like you were ready to go? Stop pretending to be reserved. Finish it quickly and leave quickly, unless you want to stay in jail or be sent to the Blood Lord Palace!"

"Just now, I had a mental problem," Ling Hua tried to keep a distance from her. Step by step, she was pushed into a corner. "It doesn't represent my thoughts... I am still very self-disciplined!"

"So much nonsense, start talking!"

Tang Xin rushed over.

"you……!"

……

Tang Xin began to rub the Seventh Elder's arm vigorously.

“Rub, rub, rub—”

She could indeed feel her body temperature rising... mainly due to fatigue, but the seal seemed to be motionless.

"What are you doing……"

The Seventh Elder's mouth twitched.
