The Truth Revealed Slowly Cultivating the Immortal Path Volume 1 Chapter 42

  However, most of the things were planned by Yu Feng alone. He said that to unlock the treasure land, he needed to use the evil energy, and coincidentally, the location of the treasure was in "Kunlun Realm", which would open half a year later. The two took advantage of the conflict between the Eastern Extreme Cultivator and the Flying Ascension Cultivator within the White Jade Pavilion, as well as their own identities, to set up this scheme. After luring the cultivators into the cave, the two did their best to provoke the relationship between the two sides, in order to use the evil energy generated by their struggle to activate the transmission array and break the seal, so as to achieve the goal of stealing the treasure.

  But what Cao Taotao did not expect was that Yu Feng still had a trick up his sleeve, and he also deceived him! He guarded against everything, but only against the idea of killing people to monopolize treasures. Who would have thought that the other party's identity was actually a famous evil cultivator? What was hidden here was not some kind of divine instrument, but a demon saint instrument!

  The cultivators present were shocked and outraged, condemning the evil cultivator's ruthless actions. They glared at Yuanying with anger, wishing they could eliminate him on the spot. As for Cao Taotao, although the cultivators also despised her, they somewhat understood her desire to steal the treasure. In their eyes, a person who doesn't take advantage of opportunities is bound to be punished by heaven and earth. The temptation of a divine artifact was something that almost no one in the Xianling realm could resist. Therefore, they didn't want to kill her just yet, but rather gave her a thoroughly ugly look. This battle between the flying cultivators and the Eastern Extreme cultivators ultimately became a plot for the evil cultivator to profit from, leaving those who were schemed against with an unbearable taste. Especially Wang Fu, whose gaze had been fixed on Cao Taotao from start to finish, his face dark and gloomy.

  The matter on the surface has already fallen apart, and next, how will the crowd deal with Yu Fengyuan and the "Hunyun Magic Drum"? Xiao Yao didn't have any interest in getting involved, but she was thinking about something deeper: She remembered that when she entered the White Jade Garden for the assessment, Zi Dong was also among those being assessed. If she hadn't misremembered, it had been exactly half a year ago, which coincided with the time Yu Feng obtained the treasure map! Now she still insisted on her own views, and this matter must have something to do with Zi Dong!

  She thought, and glanced at Zidong, who was also turning his face to her side. Their eyes met, and he opened his mouth: "Fellow Taoist Zidong, can the ban above be broken? I wonder when we will be able to leave this place."

  Xiao Yao's words were easily misunderstood, and those who didn't know the situation might even think that Zidong was holding many cultivators captive. Fortunately, her voice wasn't loud, so only Zidong and the three people who had entered first heard it.

  Zi Dong still had a good temper and smiled, winking at her, "Hey, do I need to break it? Rong Rou raised her head to take a look."

  Xiao Yao's face changed in shock, and when she lifted her head again, there was no longer any restriction above! How could this be!? Just a few breaths ago, she had still noticed the restriction above, but now it was gone.

  What is this guy doing and how did he manage to do it?!

  Soon others noticed that the ban above was lifted, and although some were puzzled, they heard Cao Taotao say that Yu Fengbao's treasure map said that from the spatial fissure, one could return to "Kunlun Realm". After a slight investigation, they found no danger and flew into the red spatial fissure one after another.

  As expected, when they came out again, a group of people returned to the mountain valley where the original transmission array was located. This would leave less than one day's dawn light before the "Kunlun Boundary" closed, and the crowd dispersed again.

  Wang Fu came out and handed over the remaining 7,000 mid-grade yuan crystals to Xiao Yao. After thanking her, he also drove his magic treasure away, leaving only a lone figure, no longer the scene of him walking shoulder to shoulder with Cao Tao Tao as before.

  Looking at his departing back, Xiao Yao felt that these seven days were just a mysterious and absurd farce, tossing about in vain, not only almost being strangled by the demonic device, but also what was even more frustrating was that she hadn't gained any benefits from it, what kind of thing was this?!

  At this moment, Liu Qianbi walked up to her with a soft and gentle voice: "Chong Rou Dao friend, I should also take my leave. Thank you for taking care of me earlier when we were inside. Although our encounter was not long, I feel that we get along very well. If there's an opportunity in the future, I'd like to invite you out for a chat and tea. At that time, I hope you won't refuse. Take care."

  At this moment, Xiao Yao saw a hint of sympathy in Liu Qianbi's eyes, and that gaze was clearly saying: Good luck to you. Before she could understand deeply, she saw the other party drive away with her magic tool, leaving this place as if escaping.

  Those who should leave have left. For a moment, the cave was quiet and silent. Her eyelids twitched slightly as she turned around, her smile stiffening: "Two Taoist friends, aren't you leaving?"

  Zi Dong just smiled and didn't speak, while Luo Jian Ying raised an eyebrow and said confidently: "Let's have a fight!"

  Xiao Yao's heart was filled with tears, and she almost shouted at the sky: "Why?!" But her face still wore a stiff smile: "I won't fight you."

  Luo Jianying had a stubborn look on his face: "I'll wait for you to change your mind."

  Xiao Yao figured it out, this person was a stubborn mule, talking too much would be useless. She turned around and stepped on the foot bucket, flying away from the place. However, after flying for more than half an hour, she gradually became impatient: damn it! When will those two tails behind her stop following?! Zi Dong was already acting strangely, with a history of such behavior, so it wasn't surprising that he followed. But why did Rong Jianying also come along?! Just thinking about the two rainbow lights following closely behind her made her feel uneasy all over, as if four wolf-like green eyes were locked onto her body, like a thorn in her back.

  He had wanted to stop and drive him away, but after thinking about it: today is already the sixth day, and soon he will be leaving the "Kunlun Territory". Once out, as long as he steps on the White Jade Villa flying device, this child will no longer be able to follow. As for Zi Dong, when he returns to the cave mansion, she won't believe that this guy dares to brazenly break in, and even if he breaks in, she can hide in the void for a few days to avoid him.

  After leaving the "Kunlun Boundary" through a designated exit, as she had wished, Ruo Jianying did not follow her again. However, it was not quite as expected, for Ruo Jianying had actually wanted to follow her onto the White Jade Pavilion's boat. Fortunately, his nine fellow disciples worked together to stop him. Xiao Yao also broke out in a cold sweat, and from this, she seemed to understand why Liu Qianbi had suddenly sought her help earlier, and why she had given her a sympathetic look at the end.

  At this moment, she still can't let her guard down. Although she has lost one of the Luojianying, there is still a Zidong. The other person followed her out and boarded the dragon boat, keeping a relatively close distance even on the boat. If you don't know better, you would think they are in cahoots with each other.

  Xiao Yao found a secluded corner on the boat and finally couldn't help but turn around and ask, "The trial has already ended, why is Dao friend still closely following me without letting go."

  Zi Dong stopped at a distance of less than one zhang from her, smiled slightly and said: "This... the exit of 'Kunlun Realm' is only one, I and Chong Rou are both disciples of Bai Yu Bie Yuan...". As she spoke, she looked at her with some grievance, implying that they were just passing by.

  "What a coincidence! Xiang Yao cursed in her heart, while smiling on the surface: "Is it also just a coincidence that even the place to rest on the boat is on the way?"

  "Really clever," Zidong nodded repeatedly, "The scenery here is unique."

  No choice, Xiao Yao's face was thicker than his, and he happened to have a few questions for him, so he changed the subject and asked: "Is the treasure map on Yu Feng's hand something that Daoist inadvertently dropped for him?"

  She bit the two words extremely hard, instantly making Zidong's smile even deeper, and frankly admitted: "Yes."

  "'I suppose that 'Chaos Drum' was also a bait set up by Daoist friends beforehand,' " Xiang Yao saw the approving smile on his face and knew she had guessed correctly, but no matter what, she couldn't understand, "'Daoist friends have long known that he is an evil cultivator... why not just expose his identity? Why go to such great lengths to deal with a single evil cultivator, sending out treasure maps, setting up formations, and laying traps?"

  She actually wanted to say that with your strength, you could slap him to death directly, why bother playing with the masses, but she changed her words when they reached her lips.

  "I didn't think of dealing with him, I just saw how hard he was searching and couldn't help but want to lend a hand. Besides, everyone looked so bored, as the saying goes 'it's more fun with many people', let's make it bigger and more interesting."

  Seeing his calm face, Xiao Yao felt that she had still underestimated the shamelessness of this person and couldn't help but mock: "Fellow Daoist is just bored out of his wits, so he's taking the crowd to find some fun?"

  Zi Dong was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed to one of delightful surprise. "I see! I didn't expect Rong Rou to understand me so well. It seems that the days ahead won't be too dull after all."

  What did he mean by his last sentence?

  Xiao Yao only felt a chill run down her spine, and before she could ask any questions, he continued, "Don't you suspect that I'm in cahoots with that evil cultivator?"

  Looking into his unfathomable eyes, Xiao Yao didn't even blink: "Never."

  This person, no matter how unreliable his behavior is, has his own principles. He can only be said to have a personal bad taste, but he is far from having malicious intentions to harm others. At least, this can be seen from his attitude towards the ordinary people in the Xianfu and that pig that scolds people.

  "Is it?"

  In an instant, Zidong's slanted phoenix eyes lit up, but quickly returned to normal. After dropping these two words, he turned around and left with big strides.

  Xiao Yao was left stunned for a moment, earlier no matter how hard she tried to get rid of him he wouldn't leave, now just as she was about to ask him questions, he had already left. She had never met someone like this before, his actions were completely unpredictable.

  After waiting for a day on the dragon boat, it finally arrived on the seventh day. Just before "Kunlun Realm" closed, Lǐ Mǎn appeared. He was seen wearing a tattered Taoist robe, with a gloomy expression and a murderous look, as if he had encountered something in that dark mountain.

  Afterwards, Yu Feng's primordial infant and the "Hunyuan Demon Drum" were brought into the White Jade Pavilion. After understanding the whole story, the pavilion as well as the upper White Jade Villa were greatly shocked, even startling the Wan Chuan Spirit Lord. After discussing in the villa, it was decided that the primordial infant and the demon drum would be sent to the main island on a chosen day for the Star Master Bai Yuzi to personally decide how to deal with them.

  However, all of this has nothing to do with Xiao Yao. As soon as she returned to her own cave, she closed the door and entered a state of emptiness, preparing to meditate and recover the depleted spiritual energy.

  At this time, she felt relieved, thinking that everything had come to an end. She didn't expect that this ordeal was only a prelude, and entering the void on this day was just the beginning of everything.

  "What? Is this your secret?"

  It's finally back to normal.
