While Lu Xiaotian was sleeping leisurely on the treetop, the two groups of people in the grotto were feeling unusually heavy.
The grotto was filled with the stench of blood and decay. Many of the Black-scaled Winged Wind Snakes that had passed through the Spiritual Net were killed by Oh Yeon and the others. There were no less than a hundred black snake corpses lying on the ground. Although they had gained a lot of Yao Dan, which was a considerable gain for most of the cultivators of the Divine Firmament Palace, none of them looked happy at all. They had to use Spiritual Stones to replenish their Dharma powers in order to continue fighting and to prevent the cultivators of the Evil Spirit Valley from attacking them. After a day of continuous fighting, they had consumed a lot of Spiritual Stones. And their situation did not improve at all.
Oh Yeon's fair face was ashen. She did not say anything. The predicament of the team was caused by her miscalculation of the situation. She could not think of a way out no matter how hard she tried. Although she was not as arrogant as the other Foundation Establishment heirs in the Divine Firmament Palace, she still had some pride in her heart. However, this pride had been crushed by the ruthless reality.
"Do you think Junior Brother Lu will find a way to save us after he gets out?" Jouans asked as he leaned against the stone wall and gasped for breath.
"Stop dreaming. It's good enough that he can survive alone. How can he take care of us? There are many cultivators lying in ambush outside the Evil Spirit Valley. What can he do by himself?" Wang Ningmei, the female archer who had mocked Lu Xiaotian before, curled her lips and said.
"That's hard to say. Didn't Junior Brother Lu survive alone for more than 20 days before he met us? What if he happens to run into other teams of the Divine Firmament Palace and comes back? Won't we be saved? " Zhu Ling had a good impression of Lu Xiaotian. She also knew that they were in a desperate situation and could only pin their hopes on such a slim chance.
"There's a rumor that I'm not sure if you've heard of it." Zhu Yuchun, who was sitting next to Jouans, suddenly thought of something.
"What rumor?" Zhu Ling asked.
"You should know Luo Qian from the Spirit Heaven Peak Region, right?" Zhu Yuchun asked.
"Among the disciples of the Divine Cloud Palace, Luo Qian's strength can be ranked in the top ten. Even if I haven't seen him, I've heard of him. However, no matter how powerful he is, it has nothing to do with us. "Wang Ningmei snorted.
"A good friend of mine from the Spirit Heaven Peak Domain told me that a few days before we entered the Forbidden Blood Zone, Luo Qian was defeated by an unknown Common Qi Refinement disciple from the Green Lotus Peak Domain." Zhu Yuchun said.
"What? Green Lotus Peak Region? However, he did not have any outstanding disciples. How could Luo Qian be defeated by someone from the Green Lotus Peak Region? Why haven't I heard of such a sensational event? You're a talkative person. I'm afraid most of what you say isn't true. "Zhu Ling was the first to voice her doubts. Everyone present had a look of disbelief on their faces.
"That's right. Before entering the Bloody Forbidden Area, I went to the arena every day. Luo Qian had never fought with a disciple from the Green Lotus Peak Domain. "Wang Ningmei added.
Zhu Yuchun immediately said with a look of displeasure, "Do I look like someone who spouts nonsense? This fight did not take place in the arena but in the Spirit Heaven Peak Domain. I heard that the Green Lotus Peak disciple offended Luo Qian at the market. Later on, he happened to pass by the Spirit Heaven Peak Domain. Luo Qian personally led a group of people to stop him. First, one of Luo Qian's lackeys, Zhang Tao, was defeated. Luo Qian felt humiliated and took action personally. However, he did not gain any advantage and was even severely injured. Later on, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to use his Dharma Artifact, the Thunder Spear. I heard that the Foundation Establishment Seniors of the Spirit Heaven Peak Domain were alerted. Luo Qian had a background, so naturally, he was not severely punished. However, that lackey of his was unlucky. This matter was spread systematically. It shouldn't be fake. "
"Nonsense. How could such a big matter not be spread? Moreover, how could a disciple in the Qi Refinement Realm who is more powerful than Luo Qian be unknown in the Spirit Heaven Palace? "Wang Ningmei did not believe it.
"Luo Qian was defeated by a nameless disciple. Of course he wouldn't want to publicize such a shameful matter. It's normal that you haven't heard of it." Zhu Yuchun said with an unhappy expression when he saw that most of the people present were doubtful.
"It's not completely groundless. Luo Qian was indeed injured before entering the Forbidden Bloody Ground." Oh Yeon, who had been immersed in regret and self-blame, suddenly spoke. Her father was also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and naturally knew more than ordinary disciples. Her father had specially instructed her to pay attention to the disciples of the Green Lotus Peak Domain after entering the Forbidden Bloody Ground. However, she did not expect there to be so many twists and turns in the process.
"See, even Wu Shijie said it. I was right." Zhu Yuchun suddenly raised his head proudly and said.
"Even if Senior Brother Luo Qian was injured, it may not be Lu Xiaotian's doing." Leng Qiaoyu, who was a good friend of Wang Ningmei, argued.
"That's not necessarily true. Junior Brother Lu is also a disciple of the Green Lotus Peak Domain. There were less than three teams of disciples from the Green Lotus Peak Domain who entered the Forbidden Bloody Ground. Among them, Qian Xu's team was either dead or injured. Junior Brother Lu must have his own strengths to be able to survive until now."
Like Zhu Yuchun, Jouans had an instinctive dislike for elite disciples like Luo Qian. It was precisely because of their different backgrounds that most of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the Sect Competition of Divine Cloud Palace were won by the elite disciples. It was very difficult for those who had no background and were Rogue Cultivators to stand out in the Sect Competition. At most, the ratio could be maintained at about 10 to 20 percent.
Oh Yeon and Zhu Ling were silent for a while. In their current situation, they hoped that Lu Xiaotian was the one who defeated Luo Qian in the rumors. More or less, they still had some hope. In fact, no matter how powerful a person was, he could not defeat a team of Evil Spirit Valley practitioners. However, in a situation where there was no other way, they could only pin their hopes on this illusory rumor.
"Senior Brother Ye, Junior Brother Bai, who was sent to find Senior Brother Liu, has not received any news until now. I'm afraid …" Zhao Yong walked to Ye Xingping's side and tried to keep his tone calm. However, the worry on his face could not be concealed.
Ye Xingping paced back and forth. His gloomy face made him look like an injured beast that could go berserk and devour someone at any time. With a glance, he found that the faces of his fellow disciples were not good either. Even Yu Liufeng, who had been secretly throwing flirtatious glances at him before, was not in the mood to do so. She sat on the side with a frown.
Twice, he had sent out five people, but they had not received any news. Not even a word had been sent back. In this dangerous forbidden area, it was obvious what this meant. If they had encountered a demonic beast, it would have been fine. However, Ye Xingping was most worried about the practitioners of other sects lying in ambush outside. Now that his team had lost a lot of people, they could not afford any more casualties.
"Senior Brother Ye, what should we do now?" Yu Liufeng asked pitifully.
"Tonight, when the disciples of Divine Cloud Palace are not paying attention, we will leave the grotto one by one."
