"Xia Ji, what do you mean by that?"
Qiu Feng and the others were the most emotional when they heard this.
They had just been separated by life and death, so they were in the saddest moment of their lives. When they heard Xia Ji's words, they could not contain their excitement.
This was especially true for Qiu Feng. Over the past decade, he had the deepest understanding of the word 'loyalty'. What he could not tolerate the most was betrayal.
He had to admit that he was extremely touched when he saw Xia Ji holding onto Qin Yi with all her might.
However, after losing Qin Yi, Xia Ji's sudden coldness had deeply hurt him.
For a moment, he lost control of his emotions, and his gaze towards Xia Ji was filled with hatred.
However, Xia Ji was unmoved by Qiu Feng's hateful gaze. She glanced at Qiu Feng and Mei Hao indifferently, then said coldly, "That guy and I got together because of our own interests. That's because I know the real treasure is with that guy. "
As she spoke, the corners of Xia Ji's mouth curled up. Then, she looked at Lei Xiong mockingly and said, "However, why did you send him off the cliff? I believe you should know this better than anyone else, right? "
Her words weren't very clear, but Feng Hua wasn't someone who couldn't think clearly. When he heard Xia Ji's words, he immediately reacted.
"Lei Xiong, so your so-called treasure hunt was just to get someone else to do your dirty work."
Feng Hua's eyes narrowed. The cold glint in his eyes gave off a dangerous feeling.
Lei Xiong's heart tightened. "Feng Hua, you should know what kind of person I am. Are you going to doubt my intentions just because of this slut's one-sided words? "
Feng Hua lightly shook his head and said, "I really don't know what kind of person you, Lei Xiong, are. However, I can confirm that you have a grudge with this group of people. "
He had clearly concluded that Lei Xiong had tricked him here to get someone else to do his dirty work.
To him, Qin Yi's life or death was not important. What was important was that he could gain something from this secret realm.
Lei Xiong frowned and said, "Feng Hua, don't forget that you killed him."
That's right, the one who caused the situation just now was not Lei Xiong, but Feng Hua.
Feng Hua's eyes narrowed as he said, "If you didn't tell me along the way that he was a great threat, and that I shouldn't hold back once I see him, why would I kill him? Lei Xiong, you're really not bad. You actually schemed against me. "
Lei Xiong frowned and slowly took two steps back. The spiritual power in his body had already begun to circulate.
Obviously, he already knew that today's matter could no longer be resolved peacefully.
Feng Hua already had the intention to kill him, so there was no need to continue to explain. At this point, the only thing he could do was to prepare for battle.
He glared angrily at Xia Ji, not concealing the hatred in his eyes at all, "B * tch! If I can get out of here alive today, I won't let you off. "
He had to admit that he had underestimated this woman.
He had never expected that a simple sentence from the other party would directly break the alliance between him and Feng Hua.
Originally, the matter of Qin Yi possessing a great treasure was just a lie that he had fabricated. His goal was to get Feng Hua to help him take revenge on Qin Yi.
However, when his lie was used by others, Lei Xiong realized how stupid he was.
Most importantly, the alliance between him and Feng Hua was not that strong to begin with. The two of them were originally enemies, and Feng Hua had always wanted to kill him.
Although Xia Ji's words had a certain intention to sow discord, it was more because Feng Hua wanted to find an excuse to make a move against him.
This was something that Lei Xiong was very clear about.
He also knew that once Feng Hua had the intention to kill him, no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.
Seeing Lei Xiong's formation, Feng Hua did not mind and said with contempt, "Lei Xiong, let me give you a piece of advice. At this time, don't put up any meaningless resistance. I'll give you a choice. You can jump down from here. If you're lucky enough to survive, you might be able to find the treasure on that guy. "
To be honest, when Feng Hua said this, Lei Xiong was a little tempted. But when he saw the chilling wind howling in the abyss from the corner of his eye, he immediately dispelled this idea.
A life-and-death struggle!
That was Lei Xiong's only thought!
At this moment, he directly summoned his four Abyss Blood Beasts. He took out a weapon in one hand and activated his talisman in the other. He looked like he was ready to fight.
In fact, he did not want to fight with his life on the line. But after he reached an agreement with Feng Hua, almost all the treasures on him had been confiscated, including the Thousand Mile Divine Strider Talisman that he had used to escape.
The two items in his hand were all he had. The only thing he could do was to fight with his life on the line.
"Hmph." Feng Hua smiled and said to the people behind him, "Let's attack together. There's no need to spare his life!"
After saying that, he took the lead. Golden Spiritual Energy wrapped around his palm and he attacked Lei Xiong with great momentum.
The others also followed, and they did not hold back in their moves.
It had to be said that Lei Xiong's battle strength was indeed shocking. Although the other side had a lot of people, and there was Feng Hua, whose strength was not much different from his, he was able to deal with them for a while by relying on the powerful weapons in his hands and the existence of the four Abyss Blood Beasts.
The battle instantly became heated. The target that they had originally planned to kill was now directly ignored.
"You guys leave quickly!"
Xia Ji's bright eyes were focused on the battle. She said to the others without turning her head.
"But …"
At this moment, who didn't know that everything Xia Ji had said was to sow discord?
Qiu Feng was also a little regretful. Since entering the secret realm, he had misunderstood the two of them.
Now, he really felt a little guilty towards Xia Ji.
But even if they felt guilty, there was still another reason why they were not willing to leave.
They were unwilling to leave when Qin Yi fell off the cliff.
Xia Ji also understood their thoughts and said, "Go and see if there are other paths that can lead to the bottom of the cliff!"
Everyone's eyes lit up. Clearly, Xia Ji also did not believe that Qin Yi would die so easily.
"Hurry, they will react very soon. At that time, you won't have a chance to leave."
Chapter 1171: Rebirth and Betrayal
Xia Ji was very clear what kind of people this was.
Once they realized that he was trying to take advantage of the chaos to escape, then this plan would be completely ruined.
She really wanted to take revenge on Feng Hua, but she knew that she had no chance of winning.
Thus, she could only first get rid of Lei Xiong and then take the opportunity to leave. Only when she found her own team would she be able to fight against the Luofu sect's people.
The battle was still ongoing. Both sides were fighting fiercely.
Qiu Feng and the others looked at everything that was happening in front of them, feeling extremely conflicted.
"Stop watching, let's go."
At this moment, Yun Die 'er, who had been standing to the side in a daze, suddenly stood up and said to everyone in a low voice.
At this moment, Yun Die 'er's eyes no longer had the light from before. However, her expression was strangely calm.
"Princess …"
"Go!"
Yun Die 'er's voice became heavier, and there was a hint of command in it. This was the first time something like this had happened to her.
Evidently, Qin Yi's disappearance was a huge blow to her. This girl, who had never worried about anything, suddenly seemed to have grown up a lot.
Seeing the sudden change in the girl, Xia Ji's emotions became somewhat complicated. However, she did not say anything. After all, being able to grow up was still a good thing.
It has to be said that Yun Die 'er's position in these people's hearts was quite high. The moment she spoke, Qiu Feng, Mei Hao, and even Yun Xiang's group of six, who were originally conflicted, all woke up. They nodded and followed Xia Ji, preparing to leave this place.
However, at this moment, something strange happened.
The people who were originally fighting fiercely suddenly became restless.
"Ah!"
Immediately after, a miserable cry sounded out. A young man was the first to fall to the ground, no longer breathing.
"Zou Hong … you guys …"
This sudden turn of events caused Feng Hua's eyes to instantly widen. He looked at the three people in his team in disbelief.
Evidently, the young man who had died had not been killed by Lei Xiong and the others. Instead, he had been killed by his own people. In other words, he had been killed by the three men known as Zou Hong.
These three people were the top geniuses chosen by the Luofu Sect to enter the secret realm. Whether it was in terms of status or loyalty, they were extremely trustworthy.
Who would have thought that at such a crucial moment, the three of them would actually do something so unexpected? Even Feng Hua didn't dare to believe what he saw in front of him.
"Are you all crazy?"
Faced with this situation, even Feng Hua was momentarily at a loss for words.
However, Zou Hong and the other two people did not have the slightest intention of replying. Instead, they once again extended their butcher's knife towards their fellow sect members.
"The three of you actually hid your strength?"
Only now did Feng Hua realize that Zou Hong and the other two people seemed to be very well-behaved and did not have any outstanding performances along the way.
But at this moment, he discovered that all three of them possessed extremely powerful battle prowess. It was not an exaggeration to say that any one of these three people could easily kill him.
However, they had been hiding in the group all this while, and they rarely spoke to each other.
Who were these three people? Why did they do this?
No matter how much Feng Hua racked his brains, he could not think of the answer he wanted.
On the other side, Lei Xiong was naturally overjoyed when he saw this scene.
With the help of Zou Hong and the other two, he immediately felt the pressure on him decrease greatly. His attacks also became even more frantic as he madly charged towards the Luofu Sect disciples.
"Hurry up and leave!"
This sudden turn of events made Xia Ji somewhat unable to believe it. However, after the shock, she quickly calmed down.
No matter what was happening here, she could not participate in it. Of the thirty-six stratagems, escape was the best!
Immediately, she brought the others and left at top speed.
It had to be said that Zou Hong and the other two people, along with Lei Xiong, were really powerful. Among the nine people from the Luofu Sect, only Feng Hua, who had the strongest fighting strength, was left in the blink of an eye.
However, before Feng Hua could turn around and escape, four Abyss Blood Beasts had already surrounded him. In the blink of an eye, four pairs of sharp claws tore him into pieces.
The battle only lasted for a short while before it ended.
Feng Hua, who had always thought that victory was in his grasp, did not expect that he would mysteriously become the loser. He did not even leave behind a complete corpse.
"Haha!"
Lei Xiong laughed. Looking at the bloodstained Zou Hua and the other two, he was in a good mood. "Were the three of you sent by the Valley Master to the Luofu Sect?"
At this crucial moment, Lei Xiong could not think of anyone else who would bravely step forward and save his life.
However, his passionate question was met with Zou Hong and the other two's ice-cold gazes.
"If you don't want to die, hurry up and scram!"
Zou Hong was clearly the leader of this three-man team. His words were filled with deterrence.
The smile on Lei Xiong's face immediately froze. He had originally thought that these three people were on his side, but he did not expect that Zou Hong and the other two also did not have the slightest bit of goodwill towards him.
If it was any other time, Lei Xiong would definitely have slammed the table and stood up to fight.
Unfortunately, facing these three people, he also did not have the slightest chance of winning. Without a doubt, these three fellows who had hidden their strength so well were obviously stronger than him.
Especially the leader, Zou Hong. His strength alone had already surpassed Lei Xiong's. Furthermore, there were two powerful fellows in front of him whose strength was not much different from his.
"Who exactly are you?"
Although he was a little afraid, Lei Xiong still asked this question.
Unexpectedly, Zou Hong's expression turned cold. "You won't live long if you know too much!"
Lei Xiong's face turned ashen. Although he was furious, he did not flare up in the end.
After all, the other party had no intention of making a move on him. Lei Xiong also knew his limits, so he turned around and left.
After Lei Xiong left, the three of them looked at each other and chased after Xia Ji and the others.
Xia Ji was a meticulous person. Just like the last time, she did not flee in a straight line. Instead, she constantly changed directions.
She had already guessed the identity of Zou Hong and the other two. After all, Qin Yi had already told her about the "Shadow" last time.
Without a doubt, Zou Hong and the other two were spies sent by the Dark Shadow to the secret realm.
Their target was most likely everyone in the secret realm.
Most importantly, Xia Ji and Yun Die 'er had undoubtedly become their targets.
Chapter 1172: Strange Space
"They're still chasing us!"
Through her divine sense, Xia Ji had already discovered that Zou Hong and the other two were relentlessly chasing them.
"Bastards."
A cold glint flashed across her eyes. To be honest, she really wanted to turn around and fight them.
Unfortunately, her body was extremely weak. Just now, in order to support Qin Yi down the cliff and retrieve the ancient spirit flower, she had to share the burden with Qin Yi.
This kind of pressure was not something that could be withstood by her physical strength alone. She had been using her elemental energy the entire time. As time went on and the gravity increased, the amount of elemental energy she had used up increased.
In the end, although they did not manage to wait until Qin Yi arrived, their lack of elemental energy had become an irreversible reality.
She was not the only one. Everyone present had used up most of their elemental energy. Coupled with the tearing pain from their palms, their current condition was extremely poor.
Xia Ji already had a rough understanding of Zou Hong and the other two's abilities. If she was at her peak, she would have no problem dealing with two of them. The remaining one could be easily dealt with by the nine of them.
But this plan was obviously not going to work.
"Now that he's not here, I still have to take responsibility for his friends."
It had to be said that Xia Ji's feelings towards Qin Yi could not be summed up with just a few words.
What's more, she knew very well why she had established a cooperative relationship with Qin Yi's group.
Although she was somewhat unscrupulous at times, she was still a person who clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred.
Qin Yi had stepped forward to help her when she was in danger. Thus, when Qin Yi was at his lowest point, she would definitely not abandon them.
"They're chasing us so closely, it's probably impossible to find a chance to recover elemental energy."
Xia Ji could clearly sense that the three people behind her were gradually closing in on them. Under such circumstances, if she stopped, she would definitely be caught.
"It seems like I can only go around in circles with them for now."
Xia Ji sighed helplessly at the thought of this. She felt a little sullen.
But no matter what, she still had to do what she had to do.
She took out a small bottle from her storage ring and poured out a handful of elixirs. Looking at the elixirs in her hand, Xia Ji thought to herself, "I didn't expect that I would still have to rely on Senior Sister Xu's elixirs to survive at such a crucial time."
Xia Ji and Xu Qing had a good relationship. Ever since they had arrived at the Yunhai Empire, Xu Qing had always taken care of her.
However, the proud Xia Ji had always wanted to get out of this situation.
She hoped that she could solve everything on her own. Before entering the mystic realm, Xu Qing had given her quite a few things, including many elixirs.
However, Xia Ji rarely used the things that Xu Qing had given her. Unless the situation was extremely dire, like the time when the overbearing Sky-Ripping Eagle had tried to kill her and her fellow disciples.
It was obvious that she and the others were in a desperate situation. After mocking herself, Xia Ji distributed the elixirs in her hand to everyone.
After consuming the elixirs, their elemental energy was slightly restored. However, this amount of spiritual energy was not enough to support them in battle. They could only rely on the temporarily restored elemental energy to continue forward.
"Qin Yi, I hope you are still alive."
Xia Ji looked up at the sky with a hint of exasperation and hope in her voice.
…
At this very moment, at the bottom of the abyss.
This was a world where sunlight could not reach. It was completely dark and there was not even a trace of light.
This world of darkness was not suitable for living things to live in. There was not a single sign of life in this place. Other than the howling of the wind, there was no other sound.
At the bottom of the abyss was not a flat land, nor was it a lifeless and barren land.
It was a huge pool of water. The pool was so deep that one could not see the bottom. Of course, one could not see anything in this dark space.
In this dark space, there were two figures floating on the surface of the water.
One of them was holding a blue sword in his hand and had a white strip of cloth tied around his waist. His body was covered in wounds and the parts of his body that were exposed to the air were covered in rubble. His clothes were in tatters.
The other person looked very clean. However, his neck was twisted to one side and his body was stiff and lifeless.
Without a doubt, the former was Qin Yi who had fallen from the abyss. The latter was the guard who had been killed by Feng Hua and thrown here.
Both of them were floating on the surface of the water and were not far from each other.
After a while, the unconscious Qin Yi gradually regained consciousness. His bright eyes did not show any signs of dimming even in this dark abyss.
After checking his body's condition, Qin Yi was overjoyed. "I'm not dead?"
He had thought that he would be smashed to pieces if he fell into the abyss due to the gravitational pull.
However, he had not expected that he would still be alive. Although his body had suffered many injuries because of his struggle, he was still very lucky to be alive.
He had to admit that this pool of water had saved his life.
Most importantly, he did not feel the slightest bit of heaviness in this place. The gravitational pull on the cliff did not seem to affect this place.
However, before he could get over his joy, he realized an even more serious problem. "How am I going to get out of this godforsaken place?"
Without a doubt, if he could not find a way out, he would definitely die if he continued to be trapped here.
Moreover, although there was no gravitational pull here, there was an additional suppression on his divine consciousness. His divine consciousness could not even leave his body.
In other words, he was like a blind man right now. He had no idea where he was, nor did he know what was waiting for him next.
"I wonder how they are now."
Although he could not even protect himself, he was still very worried about Xia Ji and the others. Before he fell to the bottom of the abyss, the people above must have met with some kind of crisis.
Now that he was trapped in this godforsaken place, there was no way he could understand the situation above.
"It seems like I can't give up. I have to find a way out of this place as soon as possible!"
