Chapter 67: Good-looking people can deceive people Although Ruan Xing knew that there was a 99% chance that this demon cultivator would not keep his promise, she just wanted to say a few more words to delay him and see how he was furious but helpless. Since he wanted to stay alive, he could not attack Ruan Xing at the exit. The formation and talismans might not be able to kill him with one strike. If he used the magic power of the devil, other cultivators might think that he was in cahoots with the black smoke and attack him together. At that time, even if he opened the secret realm, he would not be sure of escaping with the low-level cultivators gathered outside. Ruan Xing took out the snow-white ball from the storage bag and threw it to Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi took it carefully and put it together with the ink-black ball in his hand. The two seemed to have a magnetic attraction to each other and spontaneously floated and spun in Wang Zhi's hand. She didn't see what incantation Wang Zhi chanted or what gestures he made, but the ripple-shaped light gate moved. "The portal is open!" "Get out! There are too many ghosts here, I can't handle it!" Wang Zhi and Ruan Xing were very close to the light gate. He put away the two black and white balls, then grabbed Ruan Xing's shoulders and passed through the light gate together. There was also chaos outside the door. Many Xuanbing Sect disciples were guarding the door. When they saw someone coming out, they hurriedly asked, "What happened in there? Why did the teleportation array suddenly fail?" Wang Zhi did not answer, but walked through the crowd and summoned his flying sword directly. Fortunately, many people came out from inside, and they were still in shock and started talking about what was going on inside.
"It's ghosts! Such a huge group of ghosts!" "Isn't this secret realm known as the safest secret realm for the Qi training stage? How come there are so many evil spirits!" "I haven't heard that Hanshan Xianjun did anything to massacre a city or an entire family before he died. Could it be that this evil ghost was released by your Xuanbing Sect?" Ruan Xing could no longer hear the rest of the conversation. The chaotic noise became farther and farther away. She was held under Wang Zhi's arm and was taken away from the entrance of the secret realm by him. Being so close, isn't this a chance God has given her to launch a sneak attack? What's more, she hasn't fought with Wang Zhi this time, and Wang Zhi doesn't know that she already knows that he is a demon cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Ruan Xing was somewhat tempted, but gave up after thinking for a moment. She might not even be able to break the protective magic power of a Foundation Establishment Stage demon cultivator, let alone seriously injure him. She actually wanted to see why this kid took her with him when he ran away. Silencing? Can she get some new information before silencing him? After flying for a long distance, Wang Zhi found a deserted place and stopped. He threw it to the ground as if in revenge. Ruan Xing sat on the ground in a daze, and Hanshan Xuesui was also thrown in front of her. Ruan Xing picked up the Hanshan Snow Marrow and was a little confused. "You returned it to me? Didn't you catch me to kill me?" "Killing you would be a bargain for you." Wang Zhi laughed sinisterly, "I originally wanted to let you stay in Black Water Lake as a scapegoat, but I didn't expect you to make such a big deal without saying anything. The Cold Mountain Ink Marrow suppresses the countless ghosts in Black Water Lake, and the Cold Mountain Snow Marrow maintains the spiritual charm of the Cold Mountain Peak. I only took the Cold Mountain Ink Marrow, which at most caused some annoying ghosts to appear in the secret realm. But you took the Cold Mountain Snow Marrow and caused the entire secret realm to collapse. Tell me, after the Xuanbing Sect knew about this, will they be more hostile to me or to you?" "Is that so?" Ruan Xing said in a long tone, "But they don't know that it was me who took the snow marrow?" "There is a hidden image-retaining magic array at the place where the moving mechanism is under the Black Water Lake. Do you think that if you didn't go there, the image left behind will not be you? Just wait for the endless pursuit by the Xuanbing Sect!" Wang Zhi sneered. "You are stupid." Ruan Xing complained speechlessly, "The secret realm has collapsed, the snow marrow and ink marrow have been taken away, and the portal can't be opened. Who is going to see the image-retaining array?" Wang Zhi: Hmm? Wang Zhi was suddenly stunned. This was his original plan. After discovering that Ruan Xing was missing, he transformed into Ruan Xing and moved the mechanism. But now... Wang Zhi fell into deep thought. "Besides, even if they find me, I will find you. You are a demon cultivator, and catching you will not be much more meritorious than catching me." Wang Zhi was stunned again, "You, how do you know I'm a demon cultivator? What flaws do I have?"
The Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator who had suffered many setbacks today was now doubting his life. He had always been the one to cheat others, so why was he always being cheated today? It made him lose confidence. Ruan Xing sincerely suggested: "How about this, I will ask you a few questions first, and after you answer me, I will tell you where your flaws are, how about that?" Wang Zhi thought for a few seconds and agreed, "Okay, but hurry up. We have been talking for such a long time. The high-level cultivators of Xuanbing Sect may have arrived and discovered the reason for the collapse of the secret realm." Ruan Xing thought for a moment and asked, "You said before that Hanshan Snow Marrow and Hanshan Ink Marrow can be used to refine spiritual tools, so why didn't Xuanbing Sect take them away to refine them? There is no benefit for them to keep them in Hanshan Peak to maintain the Hanshan Secret Realm. After all, the Hanshan Secret Realm is only suitable for low-level cultivators in the Qi Training Stage. Moreover, it is too careless to protect such an important thing with only a Foundation Establishment Stage demon snake and a Shadow Retention Formation." Wang Zhi shook his head and organized his words. "I only know the general idea of the questions you asked. First of all, the ink marrow is made of turbid air, and it has been accompanied by thousands of ghosts for many years. It has been full of yin energy. Even if it is refined, it can only be refined into a magic weapon. If they use it, it will only affect their own foundation and give rise to demons in their hearts. As for the snow marrow, I don't know, and I heard that the snow marrow cannot be touched easily... Why you took it out and nothing happened, I don't understand, maybe you can help me solve this problem?" Wang Zhi stared at her with an inquiring look. Ruan Xing smiled and said nothing, so he had to continue talking. "That demon snake and the image-retaining formation were not left there to protect the Snow Marrow and the Ink Marrow. Ordinary Qi-cultivating cultivators can't even get into the interior of Hanshan Peak. If I didn't have a magic weapon related to the Ink Marrow, I wouldn't have been able to easily sneak past the teleportation formation and enter the secret realm with my foundation-building cultivation level, and it would be even more impossible for me to teleport you directly into Hanshan Peak. I've just said that the Snow Marrow cannot be touched at all. That mechanism and the image-retaining formation are used to fish. Only demonic cultivators would be interested in the Ink Marrow. If they are recorded by the image-retaining formation, they will never be able to live a peaceful life hiding their identities again." Ruan Xing looked at him with interest, "So you are the fish that was caught?" "Humph, I already have information channels and know that there is a shadow-retaining magic array there, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of tricking a scapegoat over there. I have answered all the questions you asked, can you tell me where the flaws are?" "Of course." Ruan Xing smiled slightly, and the scene reappeared, "Because you don't look like a good person." This sounded like a joke. Without waiting for Wang Zhi to get angry, Ruan Xing said bitterly, "Next time you should change to a prettier face. Don't you know that the prettier a person is, the easier it is for others to trust them?" Wang Zhi was shocked, and forgot what he wanted to say just now. He said unconfidently: "Is... is that so?" Ruan Xing said firmly, "Yes, that's it." Damn, this kid’s face is really fake. Ruan Xing was just testing her casually, but Wang Zhi had been tricked by Ruan Xing so many times that he was numb and didn't think about it that way. He admitted it without even struggling. "Friend Wang, are you so secretive because you are on the wanted list, or is it because your true identity is so clear and you dare not let others know?" Wang Zhi's face darkened. "You called the wrong person. My name is Zhao An." "Oh, yes, sorry, I forgot what your name was this time." Ruan Xing scratched his head embarrassedly, "In this case, let's each run for our lives. Don't worry, fellow Taoist, if I get caught, I will definitely betray you." Wang Zhi glared at her fiercely, summoned his flying sword and left. Ruan Xing looked at the direction Wang Zhi left and pressed the button to end the simulation in his mind. The direction he left did not seem like he was running away, but rather he was heading back to the entrance of the secret realm... But maybe it was just to guard against Ruan Xing. After having just felt the surging spiritual energy in the broad meridians, Ruan Xing suddenly returned to the starting point, unexpectedly feeling a sense of emptiness. How can someone who has driven a convertible supercar tolerate a tractor? Ruan Xing directly followed the route just now to conduct a text simulation. She chose the realm of cultivation and reached the ninth level of Qi training. But... the transformed spiritual bones and meridians were not brought back. Ruan Xing frowned. It seemed that she had to go to the top of Hanshan Mountain in person. Anyway, she had to go to the top of the mountain to transform her spiritual bone meridians, so she didn't waste points on the snow marrow. Besides, it was probably difficult to get such a unique thing for free through the simulator. Ruan Xing started the real-life simulation, and this time she decided to go to the lower reaches of the underground river to take a look.
Maybe that's where the ink marrow is. In the eyes of the demon cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, there was not much difference between the eighth and ninth levels of Qi training, so Ruan Xing once again appeared beside the Black Water Lake with Wang Zhi as brothers and sisters. After Wang Zhi led the snake away, Ruan Xing put on a water-repellent talisman and jumped into the river, swimming toward the lower reaches along the current. This is much faster than climbing to the summit. However, the further downstream they went, the darker the water became, with visibility less than even one meter. Ruan Xing could only adjust direction according to his intuition. "What are you doing?" A clear child's voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Ruan Xing was startled and stopped to look around. However, it was pitch black around her and she couldn't see anything. She couldn't help but feel creepy and a chill on her back. "Who are you?" Ruan Xing asked bravely. For some reason, she always felt that the voice was a little familiar. "Hehe, you don't know who I am?" The child's playful laughter echoed underwater, a little harsh, "I am A Niang's good baby." "I'm my sister's little rascal." "I am Daddy's debt collector." The voice came from left to right, but the more she spoke, the more familiar it sounded to Ruan Xing, and he thought about it for a long time. ...Finally I realized that it was her voice, or to be exact, the voice of this body. "...Hehe...I am you, I am Ruan Xing." A green face emitting fluorescence suddenly appeared in front of Ruan Xing. She grinned strangely, "Are you happy using my body?" Ruan Xing didn't know how to answer at this moment. Her brain seemed to be blank. This weird atmosphere made her feel extremely scared. And loneliness. She was the only one in the pitch-black underwater world. A huge panic swept over her. Ruan Xing even closed her eyes and dared not look at the strange smile on that familiar face. No, no, she is not alone. Ruan Xing's lips trembled as he whispered, "The sword is coming... the sword is coming..." "Hahaha, what did you see?" "Are you scared?" “Fear, I smell fear!” "She believed it, she believed it! Hahahaha—no!" All kinds of sharp sounds coming from her ears made her want to cover her ears, and an abrupt scream woke her up. Ruan Xing opened his eyes, but there was no Ruan Xing in front of him.
Only Jian came, his face was very close to hers, and his pure white hair floated onto her face under the influence of the water, making her feel itchy. Ruan Xing felt a little scared. It seemed that something had caused her to hallucinate and affected her, making her stand there like an idiot. If that thing wasn't going to kill her, she might just stay here until her points ran out... This is really terrible! Ruan Xing was so angry that she trembled when she thought about this. It was unforgivable to let her waste so many points! She couldn't help but said angrily, "You're dead!" She turned around and asked Jian Lai in the mind link what had just happened. Jianlai sent her a bunch of messy and meaningless messages. Well, it was normal that she couldn't understand what Jianlai said. It was all because she was a poor master and didn't have the money to buy Jianlai a better graphics card. Ruan Xing took great pains to piece together what Jian Lai said from the fragments and finally understood the general meaning. Just now, there was suddenly a strong negative energy in the area. She didn't move, and then called him, and he ate up the negative energy. Ruan Xing suddenly understood something. She might have just been attacked by a ghost. It was only because of the suppression of Mo Sui that the Yin Gui was unable to exert his full strength, and Jian Lai was not a living creature and was not affected by the illusion. She should be very close to Mo Sui now. Ruan Xing thought about it, yes... the sword needs puppet essence and Yin energy to upgrade. Isn't there a lot of Yin energy here? Enough swords to eat a full meal. Even if Jian Lai couldn't finish the food, she still had the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Due to the suppression of her moral bottom line, she hadn't used this magic weapon for a long time. It was her first magic weapon. Taking out the pennant in his hand, Ruan Xing laughed twice, "Let's go, swords, eat them all!" Because Ruan Xing herself would be affected by hallucinations, she was extremely cautious and waved the pennant every one meter. She could wrongly accuse countless black waters, but she could not miss a single ghost. The two of them killed everyone underwater. The black water became much clearer, and Ruan Xing realized that the black before his eyes was not black, but an illusion caused by the presence of countless ghosts. It was not until more than two hours had passed that she suddenly felt a shock wave spreading out in the water, as if a whirlpool was spinning and sucking everything in. Oh no! Wang Zhi must have activated the mechanism and started pumping out the water from below. Ruan Xing tried hard to resist the suction, and the dagger was inserted into the rock wall. The puppet's body was also very fragile. Ruan Xing was afraid that he would be sucked away, so he pulled him and the other two together to climb the underwater rock wall. When she was swimming in the river above, she felt the water was rising very quickly. But down there, every second felt like an eternity. The force of the water made her feel like she was being tossed around in a washing machine. She felt like she was about to vomit, but she still forced herself to use her spiritual power to form a shield to cover her and Jian Lai.
