"Eldest Miss, this fellow actually dared to suspect your teacher. Let's kill him."
Ma Qianzu bared his teeth, looking like a loyal dog.
"Shut up."
Li Ziqi berated.
"Woof!"
Ma Qianzu immediately stopped talking and squatted obediently at the side.
"Are you trying to trick me into giving you a massage?"
Sun Mo counter-asked.
"Go to hell!"
Gu Xiuxun rolled her eyes and made a posture as if she wanted to draw her sword and slash at Sun Mo. However, this idea wasn't bad. She could enjoy it and at the same time, she could tell if it was real or fake.
(No, I mustn't let my future husband down. I mustn't let Sun Mo see my body anymore.)
"This is a very sharp question!"
Sun Mo sank into contemplation. It was true that he had no way to prove himself. "How do you think these duplicates were created?"
"It must be because of a powerful secret treasure of darkness, right?"
Gu Xiuxun wasn't surprised at all. It was because on the Darkness Continent, other than resurrection, anything could happen.
"These duplicates' disguises are so realistic. Do they have our memories and skills? If they do, how did they do it? "
Sun Mo discussed.
"Teacher Sun, you can't use the common sense of the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces to deduce things on the Darkness Continent."
Gu Xiuxun's lips twitched.
"For example, the first level has a strange and unfathomable spirit qi tide. It's just like here, the spirit qi is much denser. There are also some places that have a spirit qi vacuum."
"Have you seen it before? Once a cultivator goes to such a place, the spirit qi inside and outside their body would instantly become unbalanced. The cultivator would swell up like a ball and then explode. "
Sun Mo felt a chill when he thought of that scene.
This way of dying would definitely be painful.
"The second level of the Darkness Continent, other than having the ever-changing spirit qi tide on the first level, the more terrifying thing is that once one enters the second level, they would suffer from all sorts of auditory and visual hallucinations, as well as various mental illnesses. The longer one stays there, the more serious the symptoms would be until they completely go crazy in the end.
"So, if one's cultivation realm hasn't reached the spirit-refinement realm, they're definitely not allowed to enter the second level of the Darkness Continent. Even if one is at the blood-ignition realm, they're not allowed to stay there for more than a week."
Gu Xiuxun explained. As the top graduate of the Myriad Daos Academy, when she had just stepped into the blood-ignition realm, she was fortunate enough to follow the school's great teacher group and step onto the second level of the Darkness Continent.
How should he put it? It was a feeling that he absolutely didn't want to go there a second time, because once he set foot there, he would feel inexplicably depressed.
"I know that!"
Sun Mo searched through his memories.
No one knew how the Darkness Continent was distributed. However, if one wanted to enter the second level, due to the existence of the spatial laws, there was no way to construct teleportation gates. They could only go up from the few passageways on the first level.
It was said that the higher one went, the stranger the laws would be. Even the fifth level was jokingly called the forbidden zone of life. Without the strength of a Legend Realm, anyone who went there would be courting death.
"I believe you are real now!"
Gu Xiuxun suddenly laughed.
"Why?"
Sun Mo was surprised.
"Keep it a secret!"
Gu Xiuxun pursed her lips and smiled. She discovered that when she spoke to Sun Mo, she felt very comfortable and at ease. There was an indescribable tacit understanding between them.
It was as if the two of them were born to be best friends.
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo looked toward Tantai Yutang. "Are you alright?"
"I feel that I can beat a cow to death!"
The sickly invalid cracked his knuckles. After that, he felt puzzled. "Teacher, since Teacher Gu has a clone, the others should have one as well. How can you be sure that I'm real or fake?"
"I feel that the clone wouldn't be able to learn your bad taste!"
Sun Mo teased.
"Mn?"
Tantai Yutang didn't expect such a reply. After being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but smile. "Can I take this as a compliment?"
"Tantai, how can you be sure that Teacher and I are real?"
Li Ziqi was curious. Given her understanding of Tantai Yutang, this fellow would surely have a way to tell.
"I'm not sure!"
The sickly invalid argued.
Pak!
The little sunny egg lightly hammered the sickly invalid. "Quickly say it!"
"Before the competition, I scattered a type of powder on all of you. Only I can smell it."
Tantai Yutang touched his nose.
As an apothecary, this was a basic operation. Although the clones' appearances and expressions were similar, they hadn't come into contact with Tantai Yutang before. Hence, it was impossible for them to have any powder on them.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Gu Xiuxun grumbled.
"The atmosphere was so good when you guys were chatting. I felt that the next step would be to head to the hotel. How could I interrupt?"
Tantai Yutang felt very wronged.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Xiuxun reproached, her face turning red. (Aiya, even a student can tell that I'm closer to Sun Mo? This can't do, I can't let down my future husband.)
However, after confirming Sun Mo's identity, Gu Xiuxun's heart was filled with admiration.
Sun Mo's actions were truly showy!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Gu Xiuxun + 500. Respect (4,500/10000).
"Teacher, there are many bugs around you. Did you summon them using the spiritual control technique? Also, are you guys using them to scout the path? "
Tantai Yutang surveyed Ma Qianzu.
"What are you looking at? Be careful that I don't bite you to death! "
Ma Qianzu bared his teeth.
"I know a few types of herbs that have a corrosive effect on the spirit body after being squeezed into juice. Do you want to give it a try?"
The sickly invalid's smile was very radiant, but Ma Qianzu felt as though he was a devil that had crawled out from hell.
"Aiya, there's some commotion over there. I'll go take a look!"
Ma Qianzu immediately floated away.
"Not bad!"
Sun Mo looked at this intelligent young man with admiration. "Do you have any other solutions?"
"No!"
The sickly invalid shook his head.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Tantai Yutang + 100. Friendly (950/1,000).
"Alright, if there's no problem, let's set off!"
A few bugs landed on Sun Mo's shoulder, guiding him in the right direction.
"Right, we have to speed up!"
Gu Xiuxun's countenance turned heavy. If the clone went to sneak attack the others, the students would most probably be at a disadvantage.
After all, not everyone could be like Sun Mo, discovering the flaws of the clone.
This time around, Ma Qianzu really became a pawn. He acted as a scout and floated at the very front. Once he discovered any abnormalities, he would immediately report it.
However, everyone's luck wasn't bad. Their journey was smooth and they arrived at a black steeple.
"This is that black building!"
The bugs reported.
This was a steeple that was over 100 meters tall. However, Sun Mo felt that it might be an illusion. Because this place was underground, the height of the ceiling should only be tens of meters tall.
"Enter and search!"
Sun Mo commanded.
The bugs swarmed in.
"Eldest Miss!"
Ma Qianzu had a mournful look on his face as he begged in a low voice, "I can sense a terrifying aura inside. If I enter, I'll definitely die."
"Forget it, you should stay by my side!"
Li Ziqi didn't force Ma Qianzu.
"Teacher Gu, you should stay here with Ziqi and Tantai. I'll go in and take a look first!"
Sun Mo stared at the steeple.
Warning: Unknown region. Danger level: Highly dangerous!
A red indicator immediately popped up.
"No way!"
Gu Xiuxun and Li Ziqi rejected in unison.
"It's too dangerous inside. I'll go with you so that we can take care of each other."
Gu Xiuxun suggested. Regardless of whether Sun Mo agreed or not, she was going to go.
"I..."
Li Ziqi also wanted to go, but her rationality told her that she would only be a burden if she went. Hence, her eyes turned red and she hated herself for being weak.
"I understand your intentions!"
Sun Mo patted the little sunny egg's head. "Tantai, protect your senior martial sister."
Ma Qianzu understood the ways of the world very well. He knew that once he was useless, he might be abandoned. Hence, he went to the entrance of the steeple and peeked inside. He didn't expect to have a big discovery.
"Eldest miss, I smell it again. There's the smell of living people inside!"
Ma Qianzu shouted.
"It's true. This fellow is a jinx!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. If he was someone from the Trade Fengshui, he would first kill Ma Qianzu as a sacrifice.
"I see it. There's someone wearing the same clothes as this fellow!"
Ma Qianzu reported.
"What?"
Jia Wendong's eyes brightened and he immediately darted into the steeple. After that, he called out, "Teacher Wei, Nangong, this is great. I finally meet you guys."
Sun Mo and the other three exchanged a mutual glance and walked in.
"Wendong?"
After Wei Xueli spoke, he gripped the hilt of his blade tightly and looked at Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun. "What's going on?"
Jia Wendong felt very awkward. Both parties were competitors, but he had to rely on Sun Mo's protection to reach this place. This made him feel very embarrassed.
However, he couldn't ignore his teacher's words.
"I came with Sun... Teacher Sun!"
Jia Wendong ultimately felt respect for Sun Mo and didn't call his name directly.
When Wei Xueli saw Jia Wendong's appearance, he patted his shoulder and consoled, "Don't blame yourself. This place isn't something you guys can explore alone. Following them to seek self-protection is a wise choice. Teacher won't blame you."
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Jia Wendong heaved a sigh of relief.
"Take care of Nangong!"
After Wei Xueli instructed, he stood up and faced Sun Mo and Gu Xiuxun. "In view of the fact that you guys have protected a student of my Mingshao Academy, I'll let you guys off this time around. Let's go!"
"What did you say?"
Gu Xiuxun was so angry that she laughed. Sun Mo's lofty attitude was truly arrogant.
"Ah?"
When Jia Wendong heard this, he jumped in fright and hurriedly looked at Sun Mo's expression. He covered his mouth with his hand and persuaded in a low voice, "Teacher, you won't be able to win against them!"
"Of course, I'm at the fifth level of the blood-ignition realm. They definitely won't be able to win against me!"
Wei Xueli was very confident. A 21-year-old at the fifth level of the blood-ignition realm was a relatively dazzling achievement.
"No... I'm saying..."
Jia Wendong was speechless. He paced around anxiously. He couldn't possibly say, 'I'm saying that you won't be able to win against them, right?' If that happened, Teacher Wei Xueli would definitely bear a grudge against him for life.
"Say what? Go and take care of Nangong! "
Wei Xueli grew impatient and urged Sun Mo and the others. "Why? You don't wish to leave? Then don't blame me for being impolite! "
Jia Wendong thought of Zhen Yuanxiong's death. For the sake of Wei Xueli's life, he couldn't care about anything else and darted before Wei Xueli.
"Teacher, Teacher Sun killed Teacher Zhen!"
Jia Wendong mentally mused. (Teacher Wei, can't you be a little more humble? I know you're amazing, but there's always someone better out there.)
"Teacher Zhen? Which Teacher Zhen? "
Wei Xueli frowned, unable to react for a while. After all, Zhen Yuanxiong was an expert at the sixth level of the blood-ignition realm. In the entire school, his strength could be ranked in the top five.
"Teacher Zhen Yuanxiong!"
Jia Wendong repeated, emphasizing his tone.
"Who?"
Wei Xueli's face was filled with disbelief. He looked at Sun Mo. "You said that Teacher Zhen was killed?"
