It has been more than ten days since the younger generation of Qingzhou entered the Bad Poison Mountain for demon-slaying operations.
Most disciples have arrived in their chosen areas and started searching. Some even encountered demon cultivators, fought with them, and achieved certain results.
“This is a matter of life and death, do not hold back!”
Before setting off, the elders in the sect would repeatedly remind that demon-slaying is different from regular actions. If you can kill, then kill; if you can’t win, then run. Do not let your guard down, do not show off.
If the training fails, there will be another chance, but if you lose your life, it’s truly over.
Therefore, once cultivators from both sides of righteousness and demons in the mountains meet, it is a fight to the death, determining both victory and life and death.
For a while, the remote and rarely visited Bad Poison Mountain was filled with a bloody atmosphere. At night, one could even hear terrifying sounds that made one’s heart race…
…
【Current Status: Dizzy】
In a daze, Tang Xin saw a line of bright text in front of her eyes.
The feeling of dizziness filled her mind, making it difficult for her to come to her senses for a moment.
After an unknown period of time, the abnormal feeling slowly faded, and she regained control of her body.
“Ouch, it hurts…”
Tang Xin held her head, sat up, and couldn’t help muttering.
In her sight was a campfire illuminating the dim space and a warm blanket covering her.
This seemed to be a secluded cave. She was lying on soft hay, covered with a blanket to prevent hypothermia.
Covered by someone?
“Oh my god!”
Tang Xin shouted and immediately jumped up, checking her condition.
Her clothes were fine, her storage pouch was still there, and there were no strange or suspicious traces…
In the cave, the moment she entered the teleportation array, she knew things were not looking good.
The collapsing space had affected the teleportation array, and the sensation of space tearing seemed to drag people into the abyss.
This was completely different from the teleportation when entering the cave.
Fortunately, luck was on their side, and the array still managed to teleport them out, but due to injuries, they fell into a state of unconsciousness.
It seemed like she hadn’t been able to teleport to the same place as Shangguan Qing’er and the others.
After moving her body a bit to confirm there were no serious injuries, Tang Xin stood up and looked around vigilantly.
“You’re awake.”
Just as she was wondering who had brought her into the cave, a figure slowly approached from the front.
Dressed in white, with waist-length hair, pure white skin, deep eyes, and emitting a “calm” aura all over, making people feel at ease just by looking at her.
Oh, she’s also a beauty.
Come to think of it, in stories, isn’t it common to have plots where someone falls off a cliff or stumbles into some valley, then encounters “fairy sisters,” “little witches,” or sects full of female cultivators?
Then comes the part where they get poisoned, injured, and have to do certain things… she was quite familiar with this routine.
“I found you by the stream in the valley,” the pure and holy young lady explained, “You were unconscious and had a wound on your head, so I brought you back.”
“Where is this?”
Tang Xin looked at the other person.
“Poison Flower Valley, deep in the Hundred Poison Mountain Range,” she replied, “The valley is filled with poisonous flowers and plants everywhere. If you don’t know the way or have knowledge of poisons, you generally can’t enter. But you…”
Still deep in the Hundred Poison Mountain Range?
This wasn’t a paradise like in the immortal sects. Being alone here was practically putting the word “suspicious” on your head.
“I was randomly teleported here by an array,” Tang Xin looked at the other person and said, “Thank you for your help. May I ask for your name?”
The other person did not immediately respond.
After hesitating for a moment, the delicate young girl said, “I was the one who saved you,” she paused, “so, may I ask for your name first?”
Not willing to reveal your identity? Even more suspicious!
【Options generating…】
【Option One: “I am the Lord of Nine Provinces, the nightmare of all beings, an existence that ignores the laws. You should kneel down quickly and offer your humble body!”】
【Success rate one hundred percent, reward of a fairy world gourmet meal set, then enter the plot “And so, Tang Xin never managed to leave the Hundred Poison Mountain Range…】
【Option Two: “I am the messenger of justice, the embodiment of light, the hero who upholds the world. Quickly tell me, you suspicious fellow, what is your identity!”】
【Success rate one hundred percent, reward of a cultivation world fine dining set, with a certain probability of entering the plot “No, I cannot fall here…】
【Option Three: “I am just an ordinary person seeking the meaning of life.”】
【Success rate one hundred percent, reward of a happy otaku meal set.】
Normal people know that it’s best not to choose options with follow-up plots…
“I am just an ordinary person seeking the meaning of life,” Tang Xin said lightly.
“Seeking the meaning of life,” the girl pondered for a moment, hesitated, and then replied, “I am a traveler who wants to achieve goals… Since we only met by chance, there is no need to know each other’s names. I will send you out of the Poison Flower Valley later.”
Still unwilling to reveal your identity after all this trouble?
The more you hide, the more suspicious you become. Tang Xin once again assessed the other party.
From the aura, she should be at the Foundation Building level, giving off a sense of crisis even more than the previous Golden Core demon cultivator.
After all, she was also a genius cultivator. The ability to sense danger, even if not as strong as the protagonist, should still exist to some extent.
“Isn’t this inappropriate,” Tang Xin probed, “you saved my life, if I don’t repay this favor, I won’t be able to forgive myself in the future.”
“No need to be so polite,” the girl said calmly with a smile, “it was just a casual act. If you want to repay the favor, after you leave, please help the next person in need.”
Ah, the light is so dazzling!
Is this person the reincarnation of the saintess? How could such a kind person exist in the Hundred Poisons Mountain Range?
“Let’s be straightforward,” Tang Xin said seriously. “A normal person wouldn’t stay alone deep in the Hundred Poisons Mountain Range. Especially now, with remnants of the demonic path and righteous cultivators likely to have come into contact, nowhere is safe.”
“What are you trying to say?” the girl raised her eyebrows, seemingly touched.
“If you were a demonic cultivator, you would have tied me up or killed me after seeing me. If you were a righteous cultivator, you should have revealed your identity to me,” Tang Xin shrugged. “By not wanting to disclose your identity, I can only assume you belong to the third category of cultivators.”
“I heard that there is someone in the Hundred Poisons Mountain Range being hunted down by all demonic cultivators, and this person is not a righteous cultivator…”
Tang Xin’s mouth curved into his signature smile, exerting pressure on the other party.
“I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to call you this… Lian Xin.”
The atmosphere in the cave fell silent.
Hey, say something, I’m not even sure, just trying to test…
“From your aura, you are a righteous cultivator?”
The gentle expression on the girl’s face gradually disappeared, and on her fingertips, a dark purple mist condensed into a short blade.
“I must apologize in advance for what’s about to happen!”
Swish!
