Outside the main hall.
The beam of light shooting into the sky was visible to almost all the demonic cultivators in the Hundred Poisons Hall.
“A rare treasure has emerged!”
Many people exclaimed in surprise.
Only spiritual or demonic artifacts of a certain grade, or treasures that gather the essence of heaven and earth, can cause such a phenomenon when they appear.
Since this phenomenon appeared in the Hundred Poisons Hall, it was most likely a demonic artifact!
“Who would have thought there was a rare treasure hidden here,” Ba Kui also saw the beam from afar. “We searched high and low for so long and found nothing of this level, but they found it shortly after arriving…”
“What should we do next?” a Golden Core demonic cultivator, who had retreated from the main hall in disgrace, asked in a low voice. “That senior’s strength is unfathomable. I’m afraid forcefully taking it…”
“Don’t worry too much,” Ba Kui sneered. “Think about it, if they really didn’t care about us, why would they bother to greet us before coming in? Is it because they don’t like to fight? Of course not. There must be some reason that limits them.”
“Reason?” The Golden Core demonic cultivator was puzzled. “What reason could there be?”
“For example, they can’t reveal their identities casually, or they are being tracked by someone,” Ba Kui said with his hands behind his back, his voice deep. “So, we still have a chance.”
“Go, gather everyone at the peak of Foundation Building and above, and guard outside the main hall,” he said coldly. “Let’s see what this senior is really made of…”
…
Having obtained the “Nine Provinces Sealing Manual,” Tang Xin and the others exited the artifact spirit space and retraced their steps.
After spending so much time in the main hall, the time limit for the Transformation Pill was almost up. They needed to leave this place quickly.
“I didn’t expect to get the ‘Nine Provinces Sealing Manual’ so smoothly,” Lian Xin suddenly turned her head and said to Tang Xin as they neared the exit. “Thank you, Tang Xin.”
“No need to thank me,” Tang Xin replied nonchalantly. “I’m a good person who likes to help others!”
“A good person…”
The young girl nodded and began to ponder.
Along the way, she had encountered many people, including demonic cultivators, righteous cultivators, and some who couldn’t be clearly classified as either.
In today’s cultivation world, if one were to summarize the overall situation in four words, it would be “profit above all.”
Why do demonic cultivators cause chaos? Because they want to gain more. Why do righteous sects eliminate demons? Because they need a good reputation to attract disciples.
Why do sect disciples compete to take risks? Because they want to gain more resources and favor. Why do these demonic cultivators in the Hundred Poisons Hall refuse to leave? Because they want to loot more treasures.
Cultivating immortality requires resources, and putting profit above all is not inherently wrong.
What she couldn’t understand was, why was this person beside her helping her?
She could clearly feel that this person didn’t know her true identity, nor did she understand the secrets she carried. In fact, apart from the name Lian Xin, she seemed to know nothing about her.
In this situation, she shouldn’t be able to gain much “profit” from her.
Could it be that she really is a “good person”?
Lian Xin hesitated for a long time, her red lips slightly parted, and she spoke.
“Tang Xin, actually I am…”
“Wait,” Tang Xin frowned and interrupted, “It seems like there are a lot of people outside!”
“It must be because they saw the light beam just now, meow!” A Miao’s tail swayed nervously, “What should we do, meow? They definitely won’t let us go, meow!”
Lian Xin looked at the two of them, sighed almost imperceptibly, and swallowed the rest of her words.
“Don’t panic,” Tang Xin said, “As long as we don’t panic, they should be the ones panicking!”
…
After a brief rest, Tang Xin and the other two left the main hall through the exit.
“Senior.”
A Golden Core demonic cultivator stepped forward and saluted.
Tang Xin looked around. There were four Golden Core cultivators, including one at the high stage of Golden Core, and more than a dozen at the peak of Foundation Building.
Unless one of her two teammates was a senior expert in disguise, they definitely couldn’t defeat so many demonic cultivators.
“How you came is how you should leave,” Tang Xin sneered coldly.
“The demonic cultivators in Qingzhou really lack manners. No wonder they were easily wiped out by those sects.”
“You…”
The destruction of their faction was always a sore spot for these demonic cultivators. Being called out by a fellow cultivator hit a nerve for many of them.
If it weren’t for the opponent’s unfathomable strength, they wouldn’t let her leave this place today!
“What, you youngsters are still not convinced?” Tang Xin crossed her arms. “I’ve been very lenient with you. Watching a relic and still monitoring it, I didn’t turn you into puppets, and you’re still not satisfied?”
Tang Xin’s expression was particularly natural as she spoke, without a hint of pretense.
Combined with the impression she had left on the demonic cultivators earlier, the atmosphere instantly turned into one of a “senior educating juniors.”
“What do you mean by surrounding us?” The red-haired girl, who was actually the disguised Lian Xin, said coldly. “Don’t want us to leave? If you want to die, can you pick a better day?”
“Exactly, meow… roar,” A Miao said fiercely. “What courage do you have to block the way of the adults! Get lost!”
The shouts from the two subordinates immediately made some overly tense demonic cultivators take a few steps back.
Everyone knew that when a demonic senior got angry, they wouldn’t reason with you or show any sentiment. The next second, she might just grab a few people and kill them to set an example.
“Please don’t be angry, senior,” the Golden Core demonic cultivator was also somewhat scared but still forced himself to speak. “We just want to know what caused the beam of light that just came from the main hall.”
Asking the obvious.
Everyone present knew it was definitely the emergence of a rare treasure.
“Do I need to explain to you?”
Tang Xin said with a half-smile.
“This…”
Cold sweat instantly dripped from the Golden Core demonic cultivator’s forehead.
The pressure was overwhelming!
If it weren’t for having someone backing him up, he wouldn’t dare stand in front of his senior and speak like this.
“Enough,” Tang Xin looked towards another person not far away, “Sending subordinates to test the waters while hiding in the crowd yourself—do you think this is the way to lead others?”
“Still couldn’t fool you, senior.”
Ba Kui stepped out from the crowd, cupped his hands, and bowed.
“I had my concerns, I hope senior can understand.”
“You’ve ruined my mood,” Tang Xin said calmly, “When I’m in a bad mood, it’s not so easy to control myself. So, tell me, what’s the meaning of this display?”
“We have no ill intentions,” Ba Kui, worthy of being a leader, didn’t get easily intimidated and continued respectfully, “We just wanted to see what kind of rare treasures are in the Hundred Poisons Hall, to broaden our horizons…”
“Broaden your horizons? That sounds nice,” Tang Xin brushed her white hair and smiled indifferently, “But… what if I refuse to tell you?”
“What? Are you planning to make a move against me?”
