In the secret room, the white portal lit up.
Chu Tiansheng was not in a hurry to enter the portal. He looked at Ji Ling with a serious expression and warned him.
"Ji Ling! This matter is very important and is the sect's biggest secret! "
"When we enter the underground, you just have to do as I say. Don't look around, ask questions, and don't reveal anything. Do you understand?!"
Ji Ling guessed that he was about to come into contact with the sect's core secret. He was about to soar.
He was very excited, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be calm and collected.
He nodded at Chu Tiansheng and said in a serious tone, "I will follow Sect Master's orders. I will not ask anything that I shouldn't ask, and will not reveal anything!"
If he could, he would swear on the spot to show his loyalty to Chu Tiansheng.
Chu Tiansheng was very satisfied with his reaction and attitude. His expression softened a lot.
Xiang Wuji looked on coldly. He secretly looked at Ji Ling. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Let's go. We should go in!"
After saying that, Chu Tiansheng stepped into the portal.
A white light flashed in the portal, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Ji Ling followed closely behind and stepped into the portal. Xiang Wuji was the last.
When the three of them entered the underground cave, the secret room regained its silence. The white portal also slowly disappeared.
…
Ji Tianxing slowly woke up in a daze.
He did not know how long had passed. It could have been half a day or a whole day.
He only knew that his chest hurt like a knife. Every time he breathed, he felt a burning pain.
His mouth and nose were full of the smell of blood. The blood had already dried up.
"Cough cough …"
He coughed twice, and a lot of dark red blood foam came out of his mouth and nose.
Such a simple action affected his injuries. He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He struggled to get up, but his body was in so much pain that he could not do it for the time being.
Helplessly, he could only lie on the cold ground and think about what had happened.
"I didn't die? Where did that cruel and vicious black-robed woman go? "
"After she knocked me out, she actually injured me so badly!"
He glanced at his chest. His green robe had been completely burned, revealing the Ice Hornless Armor underneath.
However, the Ice Hornless Armor's radiance was also very dim. It was obviously damaged.
"Fortunately, I have the Ice Chi Armor. It must have saved my life at the critical moment. Otherwise, I would have died long ago!"
Ji Tianxing heaved a sigh of relief and thought to himself that he was lucky.
After resting on the ground for ten minutes, he finally recovered some of his strength. Only then did he get up and sit in the corner.
He looked around and saw that the walls of the stone room were full of cracks and huge holes.
The black iron door was also twisted like a fried dough twist, and there was a huge dent in it.
Ji Tianxing was filled with shock as he watched. He only felt that the black-robed woman was both cruel and powerful. She actually possessed such terrifying destructive power!
"Damned black-robed alien!"
He cursed in a low voice and took out some healing pills from his Hundred Treasures Brocade Pouch, stuffing them into his mouth and swallowing them.
After that, he sat cross-legged in the corner and began to circulate his energy to refine the pills, using the medicinal power to heal his injuries.
The cave was still dark and silent. There was still a cold wind below the cliff, constantly pouring into the stone room.
About twelve hours later, half a day had passed. Ji Tianxing finally ended his cultivation.
After the medicinal power of the pills, his injuries had basically stabilized and there were no major problems for the time being.
However, if he wanted to fully recover, he still had to rest for at least half a month.
Ji Tianxing looked at the dark cave outside the cold iron door and frowned as he fell into deep thought.
"I've been locked up for twelve days. There are only three days left until the end of the month assessment … Haha, I'm now a criminal. I can't even prove my innocence, what assessment do I need?"
He laughed at himself and muttered in a low voice, "That black-robed woman is from the alien race. I wonder what she's up to in the sect? I hope the sect finds her quickly and kills her or chases her out! "
"I hope Ke wakes up soon. That way, I can prove my innocence and let that damned Ji Ling be punished!"
After letting his imagination run wild for a while, Ji Tianxing slowly calmed down and continued to circulate his energy to heal his injuries and cultivate.
…
It was late at night.
On the Red Cloud Peak, in the hidden secret room in the depths of the palace.
The dark secret room suddenly lit up with white light and condensed into a blazing white Teleportation Gate.
In the next moment, three figures walked out of the Teleportation Gate and returned to the secret room.
These three people were Chu Tiansheng, Xiang Wuji, and Ji Ling.
However, Chu Tiansheng's expression was very serious. His eyes were gloomy and filled with confusion.
"How can this be? That's impossible! "He muttered to himself, full of unwillingness.
Ji Ling's expression became even uglier. His empty eyes were filled with unwillingness.
He lowered his head and stood beside Chu Tiansheng, looking as if he had lost his soul. His mood was extremely gloomy.
Xiang Wuji's expression was also very gloomy. His eyes contained a hint of anger, but he had been holding it in.
The blazing white Teleportation Gate quickly dissipated.
The three of them silently walked out of the secret room and returned to the Heaven Raising Hall.
The light in the large Heaven Raising Hall was dim. Only the stone lamps on the walls were lit with dim yellow light.
Chu Tiansheng was silent for a while before saying to Ji Ling, "Ji Ling, you can leave. Return to the Storm Courtyard and stay there."
"You can't reveal anything about today's matter to anyone. Otherwise, I will punish you severely!"
Ji Ling lowered his head with an ugly expression. He could only salute and say, "Disciple understands! Disciple will take his leave! "
With that, he turned and walked out of the Heaven Raising Hall, returning to the Storm Courtyard with grief and indignation.
Only Xiang Wuji and Chu Tiansheng were left in the Heaven Raising Hall.
The atmosphere was a bit stifling.
Chu Tiansheng hesitated for a moment before bowing to Xiang Wuji and saying, "Martial Uncle! Disciple was incompetent and didn't succeed in reactivating the array. Martial Uncle, please punish me! "
Xiang Wuji glanced at him and sneered, "Hehe … You are the Sect Master. How can this old man punish you? Should I punish you by abdicating? "
"Humph! Before entering the Devil's Den, this old man repeatedly asked you if you had thought it through? Did you find the right person? "
"And the result? That Ji Ling you found couldn't activate the array at all! "
"Even if you are sure that he has the Xuan Jian bloodline, what's the use of that little bit of bloodline power? The Nine Dragons Trapping Demon Array didn't even react! "
"Now, it's all for nothing. The array wasn't successfully activated, and this old man even lost 20 spirit stones!"
"Moreover, that Ji Ling looks loyal and honest on the surface, but in reality, he secretly knows about the Devil's Den and already knows our sect's biggest secret!"
Xiang Wuji was unable to restrain his anger. His entire old face was somewhat distorted, and his white beard flew up in anger.
"Chu Tiansheng! Now tell this old man, how are you going to deal with it? How can you guarantee that Ji Ling won't leak our sect's secret?! "
