"I want to say …"
"Mn?" That man frowned, and glared at her a little discontentedly. "What? Do you still want to go against me?"
"Uh … No, I just want to …"
"Let me give you a piece of advice. A wise man submits to circumstances. I have already magnanimously spared your lives. "
"I just want to …"
"If you people continue to be stubborn, I don't mind sending you off either!"
"… Fellow Deity."
"As for this Nascent Divided Stone, heh. Stop dreaming. Just treat it as if you have never obtained it."
"Actually …"
"You people will feel a little better if you think like that."
"Is your hand really fine?"
"My hand … What?" The man was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Yao weakly pointed at the pearl in his hand. "I'm saying … Are you fine after holding onto that pearl for so long? Earlier, I saw that there was still poison left on it … "
"…" The man's complacent face instantly paled. "What are you talking about … Uh …"
His expression changed, and suddenly, his entire body was suffused with a dark purple color. He began to twitch, and then, he fell head first into the dense fog formed by the demonic beast earlier. In an instant, a series of miserable cries rang out. His body began to quickly corrode, yet he could not use even a single strand of mystic energy. "Save … Save me …"
He reached out a hand to seek help from his teammates in the air. Halfway through, his hand had already turned into bone, and then, it completely melted away. This unforeseen event happened extremely quickly. In less than five breaths of time, the man's figure had already disappeared from the fog. What remained were various terrifying and despairing screams that resounded in the air. As for the group of teammates that came with him, none of them moved at all. They all had shocked expressions on their faces.
Zhu Yao frowned. So … villains die because they talk too much.
"Boss!" That group of people finally moved. A female Deity with a pale expression called out. Her voice was filled with fear, and she turned to glare at the five people on the ground. Her eyes were filled with rage. "You … You people killed him!"
"Please!" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes at this belated statement. If she was really that worried, why didn't she save him earlier? "We didn't do anything!"
"You … If you knew that the Nascent Divided Pearl was poisonous, why didn't you say so earlier?" The female Deity gritted her teeth.
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "Are you retarded? You guys f * cking came to snatch my stuff, and I have to wash it clean and wait for you to come and snatch it, right? "Where did this self-righteousness come from?
"You!" The woman was flustered.
"You what you?" Zhu Yao, however, was enraged. "Are you guys still going to snatch the Nascent Divided Pearls? Anyway, it's a poisonous one. If you want it, I'll give it to you. Take it or leave it? If you really want to fight. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Don't think that we're afraid of you. At the very most, they would perish together! Hurry up and decide, we still have to rush to fight other monsters. "
"You …" The female immortal was so angry that her face turned green. Just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by a person in blue with white tattoos. This person was also the only one in the group who had the words "Unknown Immortal (Level 2)" above his head. "Wait!"
"Why are you stopping me?"
"Since it's already useless, there's no point in fighting over it," the man said in a deep voice.
The female immortal gritted her teeth and did not charge forward. He ruthlessly glared at Zhu Yao. With an unwilling look, he followed the crowd and left.
Only then did Zhu Yao heave a sigh of relief. Yu Yan frowned at the side. He held onto her palm and solemnly said. "No need to worry, your master …"
"I know." Zhu Yao chuckled. If they were to really bring out their true strength, though they did not seem to have the advantage in numbers, with her master dealing with a few other High Deities, they would definitely win for sure. However, in this tower. Lightning Divine Hall's hatred seemed to be quite high. If she could avoid exposing it, then she would.
"Haah, I never expected to obtain a useless pearl." Squad Captain Nangong was sad. He glanced at the red pearl that was still sparkling within the poisonous mist.
"I wasted so much of my strength for nothing." Student Zhonggu Lu was a little irritated as well. He subconsciously touched his own face, looking as though he was in pain. He wondered if the poison had completely dispersed. He hurriedly summoned a water mirror and carefully inspected himself.
"Not necessarily!" Zhu Yao chuckled and cast a wind art. After spending a huge amount of effort, she finally blew away the layers of thick mist and quickly formed a formation to eject the Nascent Divided Pearl. The marble rolled a few rounds, and in an instant, it arrived at her feet. The poisonous mist once again gathered into a ball, and after being affected by the highly concentrated poisonous mist for a second time, the red pearl that only had a sliver of black aura earlier had now turned half black.
"Dongfang girly, what are you trying to do!?" Squad Captain Nangong looked at her anxiously. "You saw it earlier as well. This pearl is highly poisonous. You can't touch it."
"I have an idea, Squad Captain Nangong Huang."
"I'm Nangong Cheng!" Flips table. Why did she always call out his name wrongly whenever she had an idea!?
"Don't mind such details."
"…" He did mind, alright? He silently glanced at the white-robed male practitioner at the side. Take care of your disciple, hey.
The latter continued to remain expressionless. As long as my disciple doesn't court death, it has nothing to do with me.
"Squad Captain Huang, I don't think this pearl is useless."
"…" Why did he become Squad Captain Huang again, hey? "This pearl is stained with poison. We can't take it, so how are we supposed to bring it out of the secret realm?" He took a deep breath. He was a squad captain with principles!
"This demonic beast has an undying body, so it must have been challenged by others many times. There are so many practitioners who entered the upper levels, so our squad definitely isn't the only one who encountered this problem."
"You're saying there's a way to remove this poison?" His eyes shone.
"Everything in the world has a counter to each other. How do you think the Purifying Pool came about?"
"Oh right!" He slapped his thigh, and only then did he recall the Purifying Pool at the back. Since that pool could disperse the poisonous miasma, it shouldn't be impossible to remove this poison as well.
"Let's not waste any more time. Hurry and place the Nascent Divided Pearl into the pool, Squad Captain Huang!" Zhu Yao waved her hand, and then said to Zhonggu Lu at the side. "Oh right, Little Teal, I'll have to trouble you to use an earth-type mystic art to transport the pearl over. You're more professional."
Nangong Cheng: "…" I already said I'm Nangong Cheng.
Zhonggu Lu: "…" What the hell is Little Teal?
— — — —
Zhu Yao's thoughts were not wrong. The moment Zhonggu Lu threw the poisonous pearl into the pool, the poisonous miasma on the pearl began to dissolve. Though the speed was much slower than dispersing the poisonous miasma, it was finally beginning to regain its original red color.
"I have already contacted the squads from the other secret realms." Squad Captain Nangong sighed. "Based on the current situation, only three out of the four secret realms have found Nascent Divided Pearls. The last secret realm has yet to be conquered. It seems like we can't leave the secret realm now. "
"Are we just going to wait like this?" Zhonggu Lu was a little irritated. "The poison in this Nascent Divided Pearl will probably disperse after a day. When that time comes, there will definitely be people coming to try and steal the treasure. This time, we won't be as lucky as before. "
Zhu Yao frowned as well. It was easy to search for treasures, but it was hard to guard them. Back then, because the pearl was poisoned, they left. This Nascent Divided Pearl wasn't poisoned. And once the news spreads, who knows how many people would be attracted over. No matter how high their cultivation levels were, they wouldn't be able to fight against a sea of people.
"Heh, there just happens to be one more Nascent Divided Pearl that we haven't found. We can't leave immediately either."
"Wait!" Apart from his own disciple. Other than his own disciple, Yu Yan who had been ignoring the others the entire time suddenly spoke up. His ice-cold eyes swept across the crowd, and finally landed on his disciple. His eyes were a little warm. "Setting up a formation is enough."
He did not care if the others understood him either, and immediately set down layers of concealment and defensive formations by the side of the pool. The Nascent Divided Pearls that were already half purified in the pool slowly disappeared, along with the poisonous gas that had yet to be purified. That formation was extremely ingenious. Even the ripples of divine energy were hidden away.
"Continue to attack the demonic beasts." He continued with a solemn voice.
The crowd was startled, and they instantly understood what he meant. "Good idea!" Nangong Cheng had an excited look. "We will hide the Nascent Divided Pearls in this pool, and three days later, that demonic beast will naturally revive. Then, we will pretend that we didn't obtain the Nascent Divided Pearls and continue to attack the demonic beasts. As long as we don't kill them, we naturally won't be suspected by others. When the final secret realm is contacted … Then, we will charge out together! As expected, it's a good idea! "
"Daoist Beichen …" The more Nangong Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. His eyes shone as he looked at Yu Yan. He never expected that although he looked cold, he actually had quite an idea. Just as he was about to express his admiration for him. However, Zhu Yao suddenly squeezed in. With a smack, she slapped away the claws that he extended towards her.
"Hoho, Captain Huang, let's think about how we're going to hide for the next three days?" Zhu Yao smiled with an amiable look. You dare to touch my master with your claws!?
"Uh …" Why did he suddenly feel that Dongfang girly's expression was so terrifying?
In order to hide the fact that they had already obtained the mission item, adding that the demonic beasts had yet to revive, the crowd pondered for a moment. They decided to make a trip back to the city. Earlier, there was already a small squad that found out about them killing the demonic beasts, and they were certain that there were people who were unwilling to give up and came back to investigate. They might as well directly return to the city and make their presence known. This way, even if others had doubts, they would most likely be dispelled. Because the setting of the Nascent Divided Pearls was that returning to the city alone was ineffective, and all five of them had to be brought together.
As expected, the moment they returned to the city, they received countless gazes of pity and schadenfreude. Zhu Yao and the others were newcomers, so it wasn't a big deal. Nangong and Zhonggu, who were familiar with each other, had already gained some popularity in the city. They immediately received a huge wave of sympathy from various passersby, and among them, there was no lack of people who threw stones at them when they were down.
The two of them accepted all of them with gloomy expressions, perfectly portraying the image of an unlucky youth who was possessed by the God of Misfortune and was in despair.
As for Zhu Yao's master and Yue Ying, they quietly watched them act cool at the side.
Three days later, the few of them announced that they would once again enter the same Secret Realm, and challenge the same demonic beasts to regain their pride. No one doubted them, and instead, they sent them into the Secret Realm with a wave of ridicule and ridicule.
Just like that, the fifty-fifth squad easily returned to the side of the demonic beasts, while the Nascent Divided Pearls were still quietly lying in the pool. The few of them discussed, and decided to knock on that unlucky demonic beast that revived every two hours, as an act to deal with the Deities who came to watch. Of course, except for Zhonggu Lu. The poisonous gas back then had cast a shadow over his heart, and he refused to go out no matter what. Every day, he would squat by the side of the pool and look at his own face with the water mirror, afraid that he would be poisoned again.
A month later, the crowd of Deities saw that the five of them were still guarding the demonic beast, yet they were still unable to kill it. One after another, they sighed and walked away. These people were really idiots. There was more than one demonic beast in this Secret Realm, yet they just had to go against it. For a moment, everyone gave up on the thought of snatching the treasure, and slowly, no one went to block the way to pick up the leftovers.
Only when the people who found the Nascent Divided Pearls in the five Secret Realms had contacted each other did the five of them rush out of the Secret Realm together.
Only then did the Deities regain their senses. They were fooled, but unfortunately, the outcome was already set.
