Chapter 223 Struggle As You Like, Senior Sister
After a moment of contemplation, Xie Wanning realized the problem.
"Is it Lu Siyan's abnormal inner demon?"
"No, it's not just her inner demons. All the demonic cultivators I encountered in Ji Yun's illusion were ruthless and wanted to kill Ji Yun directly."
Upon hearing this, Xie Wanning also thought of Shen Yuan and the group of puppets in Zhong Yingxiu's illusion. At that time, it seemed that they were trying to break Zhong Yingxiu down, but in reality, they were trying to kill her. If Zhong Yingxiu's spiritual power hadn't been extraordinary, she would probably have been killed hundreds of times over.
Xie Wanning's body stiffened abruptly, her legs seemingly nailed to the ground, unable to move. She instinctively covered her mouth with her hands, as if trying to suppress the gasp of surprise within her.
"You mean, these inner demons are all after the host's life, and their goal is to kill the host completely."
“Yes, we’ve fallen into a trap. This secret realm is abnormal; what kind of secret realm doesn’t even have a single spirit beast? This means that all the spiritual energy in this secret realm has been used to create murderous inner demons,” Si Jinchuan said urgently, analyzing quickly.
"Isn't it Sect Leader Liu who controls the secret realm outside? Isn't he one of your Shadow Pavilion members?" Xie Wan Ning covered her mouth, cold sweat dripping onto the ground.
“Yes. However, if Liu Zetao has betrayed us once, then he will betray us a second time.” Si Jinchuan clenched his fists, his face extremely grim.
"Can we force our way out of this secret realm?" Xie Wanning asked urgently, her forehead covered in sweat and her eyes filled with panic.
If they remain trapped in the secret realm, all these disciples will surely die.
“It’s difficult. As far as I know, this secret realm is controlled by divine power, and our power is no match for it.”
"Don't you have divine power?"
"It's too weak," Si Jinchuan said with a shake of his head and a sigh.
A figure flashed through Xie Wanning's mind. Of all those present, the one with the strongest divine power was naturally Ye Qianqian.
"I'm going to find Ye Qianqian. She's a goddess; she can't possibly ignore the lives of so many disciples." After saying this, Xie Wanning ran towards Ye Qianqian's illusion.
Si Jinchuan stared in the direction Xie Wanning had left, his face darkening. He muttered to himself, "Goddess, humph, does she deserve it?"
He recalled his past life, when Ye Qianqian calmly left. Even when Song Huai'an, Jiang Ci, and even Yan Ze begged her to save them, Ye Qianqian simply said indifferently, "Whether you live or die is none of my business."
Finally, Ye Qianqian disappeared, as if she had never existed.
Xie Wanning arrived at Ye Qianqian's illusion and walked in without being expelled.
Logically speaking, anyone a cultivator dislikes or is unfamiliar with should be unable to enter the illusion of another. Doesn't Ye Qianqian hate her?
Xie Wanning put aside her doubts and entered the illusion to search for Ye Qianqian's whereabouts.
However, she only found a stranger. It was the same woman she had seen before.
Xie Wanning knew that the person was not Ye Qianqian, but she did not know the identity of the woman.
She stepped forward and politely asked, "Madam, have you seen a girl who is about my age? Her name is Ye Qianqian, and I have urgent business with her."
The woman's eyes were dull, and she didn't listen to Xie Wanning at all.
Xie Wanning repeated it several times, but the woman continued to stare into the distance without reacting.
Xie Wanning sighed and prepared to look for Ye Qianqian in other places.
Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly grabbed Xie Wanning's hand and quickly wrote something on her palm.
Xie Wanning realized it was the character "英" (Ying).
“Madam, is there something you want to ask me? I can help you.” Xie Wanning took the woman’s hand.
The woman's face finally lit up, and she opened her mouth with difficulty to face Xie Wanning.
"puff!"
Blood splattered onto Xie Wanning's face, and a flash of golden light appeared before her eyes. Xie Wanning saw that the woman had been pierced through the heart by a sword.
Ye Qianqian stood indifferently behind the woman, having drawn her sword.
The woman collapsed weakly into Xie Wanning's arms and gradually turned into black mist and disappeared.
But Xie Wanning overheard what the woman said as she left.
"take me Home."
"Ye Qianqian! What are you doing!" Xie Wanning raised the Luoze Sword and slashed at Ye Qianqian.
Ye Qianqian caught the attack with one hand and said disdainfully, "It's just killing a demon in my heart, what's the big deal?"
“But she didn’t do anything,” Xie Wanning retorted.
Ye Qianqian merely glanced coldly at Xie Wanning, then with a single forceful movement, a golden light flashed, and Xie Wanning fell to the ground, the sword pointing directly at her.
"You're going to kill me again." Xie Wanning smiled self-deprecatingly, and looked at Ye Qianqian without fear, saying, "I'm not here to fight you. The entire secret realm is now under Liu Zetao's control, and all the disciples will be killed by their inner demons. Ye Qianqian, you are a goddess, you can save everyone."
Ye Qianqian sheathed her sword and coldly refused, "I won't save you."
"You are a goddess, and goddesses possess supreme divine power. Shouldn't you be saving the world? Didn't you say you would protect everyone outside the secret realm?" Xie Wanning stood up angrily, speaking rapidly.
Ye Qianqian showed no reaction, only nodding: "I am a goddess. But whether I save people or not is up to my own will."
"Okay, I understand. You hate me and don't want to save me. But please don't involve others, okay?" Xie Wanning conceded a step.
"No, I just want to see everyone die. I hate you? You wouldn't have been able to enter this illusion in the first place," Ye Qianqian said indifferently.
"Ye Qianqian, what wrong have those disciples done? Why didn't you take action? The goddess..." Xie Wanning questioned, but was interrupted.
"The goddess is merely a symbol of my divine power. As for whether those people live or die, why should I care? Xie Wanning, not everyone is like you, meddling in other people's business." Ye Qianqian waved her hand and said sarcastically.
"You..." Xie Wanning rushed forward angrily, but was blocked by a wall.
"Goodbye. Struggle all you want, Senior Sister." Ye Qianqian chuckled softly and disappeared into the illusion.
Xie Wanning left the illusion dejectedly, and as soon as she stepped outside, she saw Si Jinchuan.
Surrounding Si Jinchuan were Qiao Qingzi, Zhong Yingxiu, Xia Mengqi, and others.
Xie Wanning gave a bleak smile and said, "You all heard that, didn't you?"
She raised the communication bracelet in her hand, which had been activated since she entered Ye Qianqian's illusion.
"I never expected that the Goddess would be like this." Qiao Qingzi sighed.
"What kind of goddess is she? She treats our lives like dirt!" Zhong Yingxiu said angrily.
"Then what do we do? I won't just wait to die." Ji Yun clenched his fist and said resolutely.
Xie Wanning pondered for a moment, recalling what she had encountered in Zhong Yingxiu's illusion.
"It's as simple as devouring a secret realm."
Xie Wanning suddenly remembered this sentence, and a smile appeared on her lips.
