Lu Qingxue frowned slightly and said unhappily, "What trick?"
Kong Zhichao closed fist saluted and smiled respectfully. "Senior Lu, this is a show that Master and I put on to trick Faction Leader Wu so that he won't covet the arcane realm. He must have fallen for it."
Lu Qingxue was even more displeased. She gave him a sidelong glance and looked at Cheng Yuan.
Cheng Yuan chuckled. "Qingxue, this can't be helped. There's only one arcane realm and the fewer people who know about it, the better. Yuan Si's cultivation level is too high. If he really barges in, we won't be able to do anything."
"Didn't you try to invite him in?" Lu Qingxue frowned. "You're still hoping that he'll take the hit for you."
Once he encountered Zheng Da and the other old demons, without Wu Yuansi, Cheng Yuan would definitely die. Even if he had a powerful defensive artifact, Zheng Da and the others would not even give him a chance to use it.
Cheng Yuan smiled. "I suddenly understand. With Zhichao's information, we can avoid those old demons. It's the same without Yuan Si. Besides, after Yuan Si goes in, he'll eat the meat and we'll drink the soup."
Lu Qingxue suppressed her disdain because she was already wary. She said calmly, "You're too calculative. He might not have thought that much."
"More calculative wins, less calculative loses." Cheng Yuan shook his head and sighed. "I don't want to scheme against Yuan Si like this. Unfortunately, the spirit herbs in the arcane realm are limited. Our two sects have enough. One more and it won't be enough."
Lu Qingxue knew what he was thinking. There were enough spirit herbs in the arcane realm but the rising sect could not be the Flying Heaven Sect. It could only be the Great Dream Sect to realize their long-cherished wish of unifying the Heavenly Demonic Realm.
She was too lazy to point it out. She nodded slowly and her clear eyes fell on Kong Zhichao before slowly turning away. "In that case, you know the safe path to the arcane realm and can enter safely?"
"Haha …" Cheng Yuan laughed. "Not only do I know the safe path, but I also know which spirit herbs can be plucked and which can't be touched. Qingxue, our rise is right in front of us!"
Lu Qingxue began to doubt Chu Li's judgment.
Since Kong Zhichao and Cheng Yuan teamed up to deceive her, Yuan Si's judgment might not be true. Did Kong Zhichao not betray the Great Dream Sect? Cheng Yuan was so smart, so he would definitely be on guard, right?
She thought about it and finally decided to remind Cheng Yuan. Looking at his smug look, it was as if he was about to unify the Heavenly Demon Realm. He might not have a meticulous mind and calm mind, so it was inevitable that he would be careless.
"Zhichao, I'll send you back," Cheng Yuan said.
In a flash, he disappeared in front of Lu Qingxue with Kong Zhichao.
After a while, he appeared again and said with a smile, "Qing Xue, when are we going to make our move? I'll go in. You stay outside. "
"Is there really nothing wrong with this Kong Zhichao?" Lu Qingxue frowned. "Since Yuan Si said there's something wrong with him, I'm sure she's right."
Cheng Yuan restrained his excitement and said with a frown, "Qing Xue, do you believe in Yuan Si or me?"
"Yuansi's judgment may not be right, but we can't be too careful." Lu Qingxue said, "Are you sure that Kong Zhichao is fine?"
Cheng Yuan snorted and sneered, "That brat Yuan Si is really bad. In order to stop me from entering the Arcana Territory, he really put in a lot of effort to stop the rise of the Great Dream Sect. He just had to frame Zhi Chao and stop me from entering the Arcana Territory!"
Lu Qingxue frowned. "That can't be, right?"
Cheng Yuan snorted, a little exasperated. Although he felt that the age difference between Chu Li and Lu Qingxue was huge, an entire generation apart, and it was impossible for them to be together, he could not help but be jealous, especially since Chu Li was handsome and had amazing martial arts skills, which made him seem inferior.
He snorted angrily. "Qing Xue, you're too naive. You think Yuansi is too simple. If he's as sincere as you think, how could he take the Divine Demon Herb from my hands?"
Lu Qingxue shook her head and did not say anything.
If Wu Yuansi was really a cunning person, he would not have given her so many spirit fruits for nothing. This was a great benefit without any pretense.
Cheng Yuan became more and more anxious. He snorted and said, "Qing Xue, Wu Yuansi has no feelings for you. He's just using you to deal with me and restrain me. Why don't you understand!"
Lu Qingxue waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, but you have to think carefully about entering the Arcana Territory. Don't go in rashly. There's no harm in being careful. What if there's really something wrong with Kong Zhichao?"
"There's nothing wrong with Zhi Chao!" Cheng Yuan said coldly.
Lu Qingxue rolled her eyes at him and said, "That's good. I hope you won't regret it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly disappeared without a trace in a flash.
"Sigh …" Cheng Yuan stomped his foot heavily and let out a long sigh. His face was full of melancholy.
A hero's spirit was short-lived for love. He just could not get past Lu Qingxue. His mind was affected by her. Zhi Chao's betrayal? He could not help but shake his head and chuckle. However, as he laughed, his expression slowly became serious.
Although Qing Xue believed Wu Yuansi's words, she said those words to him out of good intentions. It was true that one must always be on guard against others.
Thinking of this, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

Chu Li returned to the sect and gave a few instructions to Sang Qingyun and the others. He was going out for a while and was not to be called if there was nothing important. Everyone's current task was to work hard to improve their cultivation level and face the Tianfeng Sect's attack in the future.
Everyone knew that the Tianfeng Sect would definitely come after him in the future. Moreover, being in the arcane realm, they might obtain more mystical fruits and improve their cultivation level. Therefore, everyone cultivated desperately, striving to digest the spirit fruits they had consumed as soon as possible before consuming them.
Now, they did not lack spirit fruits. They only lacked the body and the ability to digest them. Seeing the mystical fruits in front of them but not being able to eat them was truly a kind of torture. It made them work even harder.
Chu Li suddenly disappeared in a flash. The next moment, he appeared in a small courtyard on Taihao Peak.
He had already returned to his original appearance. Standing in front of the courtyard, he breathed in the air of Taihao Peak. It felt like a lifetime had passed.
News of the arcane realm's opening had probably not reached here yet. Moreover, the arcane realm's danger was beyond imagination. If he wanted to enter, he would need to have a stronger cultivation level. Otherwise, if he could not pass the entrance, everything would be in vain.
Fu Caiwei opened the courtyard door in a red tunic and stood in the courtyard, looking at him.
Chu Li smiled and fist saluted.
Fu Caiwei turned sideways, and he stepped into the courtyard.
Fu Caiwei came to the courtyard and sat down by the stone table. She said lightly, "Why do you have the time to look for me?"
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Sister Fu, what are you talking about?"
"Song Wuji is in isolated cultivation." Fu Caiwei frowned. "It's impossible for him to come out in a short period of time. I heard that he had some enlightenment and will improve further. He might even become a Great Enlightened Master!"
Her beautiful face was filled with worry. She was most worried that such a situation would happen.
Once he became a Great Enlightened Master, he would be truly invincible. What was worse was that he would ascend to the Upper Heaven. When that time came, she would not be able to find him even if she wanted to take revenge. She would not be able to die in peace.
Chu Li took out a green fruit and handed it to her. "Eat it."
"What is it?" Fu Caiwei looked at it. It was the size of a fist and looked like a pear. However, it was emerald green, so it was probably not a pear.
Chu Li said, "Eat it first."
"Alright." Fu Caiwei opened her mouth and took a bite. She realized that it melted as soon as it entered her mouth. A clear stream of air entered her mouth and entered her stomach. Then, it circled around her and disappeared into the depths of her mind.
