From Cao Li's point of view, his actions were very sincere. Who would have thought that Jing Xuan would still shake her head and say, "No."
Lin Long had saved her before and let her go. Naturally, she wouldn't hand Lin Long over to Cao Li just like that.
She knew that if she handed Lin Long over to Cao Li, he would definitely be cruelly abused by Cao Li even if he left the secret realm.
This was something she didn't want to see.
Seeing that his actions didn't make Jing Xuan agree, Cao Li's expression couldn't help but turn ugly. He said coldly, "Could it be that Senior Sister Jing Xuan has some unknown relationship with Lin Li? You don't want to capture him, but to take him away from our Holy Gate!"
"Cao Li, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jing Xuan couldn't help but reprimand Cao Li when she saw that Cao Li was actually framing her.
"How am I talking nonsense? The truth is right in front of us. Unless Senior Sister Jing Xuan hands Lin Li over, I won't believe you at all," Cao Li said.
"Hmph, in the end, you just want to capture Lin Li in your hands. I won't fall for your trick," Jing Xuan said coldly.
She could tell what Cao Li was planning with one look.
"No matter what, I will hand Lin Li over to the Sect Leader and the Elders," Jing Xuan added.
Hearing Jing Xuan's words, Cao Li's eyes turned and he said, "Since it's like this, I won't force Senior Sister Jing Xuan. It's fine as long as Lin Li is punished."
Seeing that Cao Li didn't insist, Jing Xuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Senior Sister Jing Xuan, since you caught Lin Li, why didn't you say the Leaving Rune and bring him to the Sect Leader and the Elders? Could it be that Senior Sister Jing Xuan wants to get close to the Ten Thousand Demon Fire to sense it? "Cao Li couldn't help but ask.
Speaking of this, he suddenly became interested. After all, it was the Ten Thousand Demon Fire. It was something that all Demon Gate disciples wanted to come into contact with.
Unfortunately, after walking for so long, he couldn't sense where the Ten Thousand Demon Fire was at all.
Jing Xuan shook her head and said, "I don't have that thought. The reason why I didn't bring Junior Brother Lin out is because the Leaving Rune doesn't seem to work anymore."
"The Leaving Rune doesn't work? Senior sister Jing Xuan, you aren't lying to me, right? "Cao Li couldn't help asking.
Because he had been trying so hard to find Linlong and the 10,000 Demon Flames, he had never tried to chant the Rune of Leaving. Therefore, he did not know if the Rune of Leaving would work.
"If you don't believe me, you can come to our side and silently chant the rune to leave," Jing Xuan immediately said.
"Then I will give it a try." After hesitating for a while, Cao Li finally said.
As he spoke, he walked to Jing Xuan and Linlong's side and chanted a rune to leave.
Soon, a look of surprise appeared on his face because he discovered that the Leave Rune that he had chanted didn't have any effect at all.
Unwilling to give up, he tried a few more times, but the result was the same. He couldn't leave this place at all.
"What's going on? Why is the Leaving Rune useless?" Cao Li could not help but anxiously ask.
If it was useless to leave the rune, it would be troublesome for them to be entangled here.
After all, there was nothing in this world that could be eaten. Once they finished all the food they brought with them, no matter how strong they were, they would definitely starve to death.
"I don't know." Jing Xuan shook her head and said, "It should be related to the blood mist."
"I came in contact with the blood mist and discovered that it seemed to be a kind of poisonous mist. Moreover, our Holy Gate's antidote didn't have any effect on it. I originally thought that I would be fine as long as I stayed away from the blood mist. Who would have thought that the Leaving Rune of Leaving would also be useless? "Cao Li frowned.
"Senior sister Jing Xuan, do you have any ideas?" Cao Li directly asked.
"I don't have any ideas. I was just thinking about finding Senior sister Qing Han and the others." Jing Xuan replied.
"Looks like we can only find Senior sister Qing Han and the others." Cao Li nodded.
"I can only hope that they can find a way to deal with it." Jing Xuan said.
"I hope so." Cao Li nodded and said, "It's just that this place is quite big. It will be difficult to find them in a short time."
"There's no other way. We can only look for them slowly." Jing Xuan said.
As they spoke, the two of them began to lead Linlong forward.
Along the way, Linlong, who had astonishing observation skills, noticed that Cao Li's eyes were constantly turning, as if he was planning something.
Sure enough, after a while, Cao Li directly attacked Linlong while Jing Xuan wasn't paying attention.
Even though Linlong was already prepared, he was still sent flying by Cao Li's palm as he had yet to recover from his injuries.
However, because Linlong had activated a defensive martial skill in the nick of time, coupled with his body technique, his injuries didn't worsen.
After sending Linlong flying with a palm, Cao Li pressed forward and wanted to attack Linlong again.
Just now, he saw Linlong activate a defensive martial skill, so he naturally wanted to attack when Linlong hadn't stabilized his footing.
At this critical moment, a palm attack came from beside him, forcing him to give up on attacking Linlong.
The person who attacked was naturally Jing Xuan.
Cao Li immediately stopped attacking. Instead, he stared at Jing Xuan and said, "Senior Sister Jing Xuan, why are you so protective of Linlong? Could it be that you really have some shameful relationship with him?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Jing Xuan's chest heaved from anger when she heard Cao Li's false accusations, but she didn't know how to refute for a moment.
Cao Li snorted coldly, "If you really have no relationship with him, why did you risk your life to save him?"
"I don't have any relationship with him, but I can't let you deal with him like this! If you attack again, don't blame me for not being polite! "Jing Xuan said straightforwardly.
Her tone was extremely cold, revealing her determination.
Cao Li really wanted to charge forward to deal with Linlong again, but he knew that once he attacked, Jing Xuan would definitely deal with him. If they fought, he wouldn't be Jing Xuan's match at all.
Therefore, he suppressed this thought in the end.
Jing Xuan said coldly, "Also, leave this place immediately!"
She didn't want him to stay by her side and nurture a tiger.
"Very well, then I, Cao Li, will take my leave. However, after leaving the secret realm, I will definitely report this matter to the sect master and the elders!" Cao Li said with an ugly expression.
"Whatever you say." Jing Xuan still had a cold expression on her face.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, Cao Li left with a face full of unwillingness.
Seeing Cao Li leave, Jing Xuan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Then, she walked to Linlong's side and asked with concern, "Linlong, are you alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister Jing Xuan. I'm fine." Linlong smiled calmly.
