Chapter 119 The Inner Demon Array?
"Xu Weilin, you're still alive!"
"Yes! Junior Sister Ye, are you surprised?" Xie Wanning smiled faintly.
The word "Junior Sister Ye" sent chills down Ye Qianqian's spine.
The people who flew in from mid-air were Song Huai'an, Jiang Ci, and Ye Qianqian.
Following closely behind were only Qin Muyang, Xiao Shuo, and Zhong Yingxiu. Su Anying and Qiao Qingzi's tokens were taken away, and they were teleported outside the secret realm.
The last one to arrive was Si Jinchuan. He trembled slightly, his brows furrowed, and he flew towards Xu Weilin's direction.
Everyone was drawn by the huge fluctuation of spiritual energy just now, so they came to see what had happened. They landed on the ground and stood in front of Xie Wanning.
"You're not dead? But we clearly saw that you were already..." Ye Qianqian looked at Xie Wanning in disbelief, a hint of displeasure flashing across her face.
"Does Fellow Daoist Ye want me dead?" Xie Wanning stepped forward, but was blocked by Song Huai'an's sword.
"Xu Weilin, if you're alright, why did you pretend to be dead and hide it from so many people?" Song Huai'an angrily rebuked, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes: "Or perhaps, are you impersonating Xu Weilin?"
Song Huai'an held Ye Qianqian tightly behind him, sword in hand, and pressed Xie Wanning closer step by step: "Tell me, who exactly are you?"
Xie Wanning did not retreat an inch.
The sword was only an inch away from Xie Wan Ning's neck, and the blade seemed about to slice through her neck at any moment.
Outside the secret realm.
The disciples stared in disbelief at the situation within the secret realm.
"Xu Weilin is still alive? How is that possible?"
"Yes! I clearly saw her die with my own eyes."
"Resurrected from the dead? That's too bizarre. Could she be a ghost cultivator?"
……
All the sect leaders stared solemnly at the scene on the screen.
It is impossible for someone to come back to life.
Was Xu Weilin in that secret realm a human or a ghost? If she was human, how did she survive? Or, as Song Huai'an said, was this person not Xu Weilin at all?
In the secret realm.
Xie Wanning looked at Song Huai'an, raised her eyebrows slightly, and calmly took a step forward, showing no fear in the face of the sharp sword tip that was so close at hand.
Song Huai'an was startled and took a step back, sheathing his sword.
He recognized the person in front of him as Xu Weilin. This crazy woman showed no fear of demonic cultivators or the inheritance competition; only Xu Weilin could have such a look in her eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Song, now you can be sure that I am Xu Weilin in person, right?"
Song Huai'an nodded slightly, but his tone became more serious: "Xu Weilin, you are clearly still alive, why did you fake your death to fool others?"
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Song, how could you jump to conclusions without knowing the truth and immediately conclude that I faked my death to deceive people? Is that really reasonable?"
"Someone tried to assassinate me, but I escaped using a substitute puppet. Now that I know someone is after my life, why would I willingly step forward to die?" Xie Wanning sneered.
Song Huai'an was enraged by Xie Wanning, feeling she was spouting nonsense. She had faked her death when she was clearly alive, forcing the Qingyun Sect to expend considerable manpower and resources to investigate the real culprit. Xu Weilin's faked death was a complete deception, treating everyone else's efforts as mere amusement.
Song Huai'an's sword instantly slashed towards Xie Wanning.
Luo Zejian appeared and blocked Song Huai'an's attack.
At the same time, dozens of talismans flew towards Jiang Ci and Ye Qianqian.
"Despicable!" Song Huai'an quickly went to protect the two of them.
Xie Wanning also used a defensive formation to protect her injured junior brothers and sisters, while whispering a few words to Mu Ruo.
Mu Ruo looked troubled, but seeing Xie Wan Ning's trusting gaze, she nodded in agreement.
Several other people joined the battle, and in an instant, a chaotic melee ensued.
While catching Song Huai'an's sword, Xie Wanning dodged Zhong Yingxiu's swordsmanship, stomped on Xiao Shuo's crimson lion's face a few times, and finally swung her sword at Si Jinchuan.
As the swords clashed, Xie Wanning did not hold back at all. The Luoze sword gleamed coldly, and several blades struck out in an instant.
Si Jinchuan quickly caught the blades, his arm trembling involuntarily. The force of those blades was too great, showing that the person who attacked had not held back at all and had shown no mercy when launching the attack.
After Xie Wanning delivered a few more sword strikes to Si Jinchuan, she then unleashed three fifth-grade explosive talismans towards Qin Muyang and Zhong Yingxiu.
Amidst the flames, Xie Wanning instantly rushed in front of Qin Muyang, and Luo Zejian made a feigned slashing motion.
After she whispered a few words in Qin Muyang's ear, Qin Muyang chuckled and said, "Good idea, let's do it this way!"
Then, Xie Wanning suddenly turned around and slashed several sword blades in Ye Qianqian's direction.
At this moment, Song Huai'an was fighting Xiao Shuo's crimson lion, using the back of his sword to block the lion's sharp claws.
Ye Qianqian saw several sword blades coming at her and instantly retaliated with one of them, but she couldn't stop the overwhelming force of the sword blades.
Suddenly, a large knife appeared in front of Ye Qianqian, blocking the chilling blade.
Si Jinchuan stood in front of Ye Qianqian with a cold face.
Xie Wanning's eyes darkened slightly; she understood Si Jinchuan's stance.
Amidst the chaos of battle, a gentle melody of a piano rang out.
At first, no one noticed the music, because it was so soft, like a gentle breeze.
They were so engrossed in the battle that they couldn't stop for a long time.
But then they all felt dizzy and weak, and suddenly collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Xie Wanning took the cotton out of her ear, looked at everything in front of her with satisfaction, and smiled in Mu Ruo's direction: "Fourth Junior Sister, well done, I knew you could do it."
Mu Ruo smiled shyly, but held her head high, displaying a confidence unlike her usual self.
Xie Wanning began to set up a magic array on the ground.
Once the magic array was set up, Xie Wanning walked towards Meng Qingyue and placed teleportation talismans and some attack talismans in their hands. Then, Xie Wanning gave the wooden puppet from her waist to Meng Qingyue.
"Go and collect the scattered tokens; that will increase our score," Xie Wanning explained her plan.
The ground where Song Huai'an and the others fought was covered with tokens.
They rushed over just now, and Qin Muyang said they hadn't collected the scattered tokens yet.
Meng Qingyue and his team could just take this fish that slipped through the net.
"Once you've collected the tokens, you must leave the secret realm immediately, understand?" Xie Wanning said earnestly.
"Leave it to us." Meng Qingyue patted his chest and gave Xie Wanning a bright smile.
"Then let's meet outside the secret passage."
The teleportation talisman transported Meng Qingyue and the others to the location of the token.
Xie Wanning sat in the center of the magic array and began to operate it.
As she channeled her spiritual power, the magic circle emitted a golden light, enveloping all the other unconscious people on the ground.
Outside the secret realm.
All the disciples were focused on the strange scene in the secret realm, holding their breath.
"This is the Demonic Inner Force Formation!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Just as its name suggests, the Heart Demon Array can awaken a cultivator's inner demons and guide them to confront them.
Although it sounds eerie, the Heart Demon Array is an essential array in the cultivation process of cultivators. Every cultivator above the Golden Core stage must face the Heart Demon Array.
Once a cultivator reaches the Golden Core stage, they will develop inner demons. Eliminating these inner demons in time is beneficial for their subsequent cultivation.
If inner demons are not extinguished and allowed to grow stronger, spiritual practitioners may be seduced by them and become demonic practitioners.
Is Hsu Wei-Lin setting up the Inner Demon Array to see what other people's inner demons are like?
“What she did was very dangerous. This kind of formation is usually only guarded by the elders of the sect leader to ensure that the cultivator is not devoured by the inner demons.”
"What are you worried about? Fellow Daoist Song and the others are already Nascent Soul level cultivators, how could they possibly have inner demons? Besides, even if they did, do you think Fellow Daoist Song and the others couldn't handle it?"
"Yes, after all, they are the senior brothers and sisters of the sect. How could they not overcome their inner demons?"
"I think Xu Weilin is just wasting her time. How could any of them have inner demons?"
……
Liu Qingci, the leader of Bibo Pool, looked at the formation without saying a word, seemingly deep in thought.
The other sect leaders remained silent, each displaying a different expression as they observed the situation within the secret realm.
What exactly is Hsu Wei-Lin trying to do?
When everyone was silent, Liu Qingci stood up and stared intently at the formation. Her words exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.
"This is not a mind-demon formation!"
