I imitate others' cultivation, and I will never reason with you.

Chapter 198 Why Are All of Them From the Hidden Sect?

Just when Ruan Xing couldn't help but do something to break the balance.

On the fourth day, something different finally happened.

The masked demon cultivator did not deliver the meal, but instead opened the green vine net to let Mo Cijun go out alone.

"Where are you going?" Mo Cijun asked.

The masked demon cultivator did not say anything, but just stared at Mo Cijun with indifferent eyes, waiting for Mo Cijun to come out of the room.

After Mo Cijun left, the green vine was closed, leaving Ruan Xing alone.

This time Ruan Xing was not particularly worried.

Xie Yao didn't want Mo Cijun to die. Sooner or later, Mo Cijun would return to the cell, and then he could ask him what he had experienced.

She planned to wait another day, and if Mo Cijun hadn't come back by evening, she would end the simulation.

Unexpectedly, not long after Mo Cijun left, a young man in blue clothes came over in a hurry.

He waved his hand and opened the green vine.

He said solemnly: "Follow me."

After saying that, he reached out to pull Ruan Xing.

Ruan Xing took a step back and dodged, "Aren't you afraid that I will catch you and threaten the Holy Demon Lord?"

"Why are you pretending?" The man sneered impatiently, "Do you think this trick will work on Saint Demon Lord?"

After that, he said urgently: "Ruan Xing, I want to save you, don't waste time."

"why?"

From the moment she saw the gray-robed old man, she knew that Xie Huai was also here and that they would meet him sooner or later.

What was unexpected was that after Xie Huai recognized her, he did not tell the Saint Demon Lord, but wanted to come and save her.

This is why she temporarily believes in Xie Huai.

Because if Xie Huai told Xie Yao that she was Ruan Xing, then after making the connection, Xie Yao would definitely not spare her life.

According to her current style of behavior, all the disobedient demon kings have been eaten by her. It is impossible for her to carry out any conspiracy or trickery on a small character like Ruan Xing.

Therefore, Xie Huai's appearance in front of her could only be out of his own will.

Xie Huai was silent for a moment, then said: "You saved me, I owe you my life."

"Isn't that a deal? I save you in exchange for you letting me out of the Jintai Secret Realm. The deal has been made, and we owe each other nothing." Ruan Xing said.

She didn't believe that someone like Xie Huai had any good intentions.

Seeing that Ruan Xing was stubborn, Xie Huai organized his words and quickly summarized the current situation for Ruan Xing. "Do you know the Hidden Sect? According to rumors, the Hidden Sect, one of the three major sects, is mysterious and powerful. No one knows where they are, but everyone knows their reputation. Whenever something big happens in the world of immortal cultivation, the people of the Hidden Sect will stand up and act in the name of Heaven. In normal times, the people of the Hidden Sect hide in various places in the world."

He took a deep breath and continued, "Lord Mo San has been representing Wanbao Tower among the demon lords in the northern border for hundreds of years. Saint Demon Lord suspected that Lord Mo San was from the Hidden Sect, so he was detained for three days to test his temper. He will be interrogated today. If he refuses to admit it, he will be killed."

As soon as Xie Huai opened his mouth, he revealed a big melon.

The Hidden Sect was indeed low-key. Ruan Xing had never heard of their name before, and couldn't even name which famous and powerful people were among them.

However, she was often suspected of being a member of the Hidden Sect. Of course, those people suspected her but never really asked. After all, whether it was true or not, asking would only alert the enemy.

"Kill me?" Ruan Xing was stunned. "What does it have to do with me? I'm not from the Hidden Sect."

"But you are now a member of Wanbao Tower. He brought you to the Northern Territory. The Hidden Sect upholds the righteousness of heaven and bears the name of saving the world. Killing you can not only make an example of you, but also affect his Tao heart."

"What if he really is not from the Hidden Sect?" Ruan Xing asked.

"That's something the Saint Demon Lord should consider." Xie Huai said, "I just want you to leave the North before she kills you."

Now Xie Yao doesn't know her name yet.

In Xie Yao's eyes, she was just a follower brought into the Northern Territory by the Third Floor Master Mo, an insignificant addition.

"Okay." Ruan Xing said, "One last question, how did you know I was here?"

Since the first day they were forcibly "invited" by the gray-robed old man, they only met Xie Yao once, and the mute demon cultivator with his face covered.

Never met anyone else.

No one had ever asked her name, and her current appearance had nothing to do with her original appearance.

Even the ages are different.

There was no way Xie Huai knew she was here from anyone else.

"I guessed." Xie Huai pursed his lips and pointed at the clothes on Ruan Xing's body. "I didn't know it was you at first, but I came here to take a look at you today. When I saw this clothes, I was sure it was you. You like this cloak very much, right? It's just the cloth used by ordinary mortals. You didn't want to throw it away when it was damaged."

Ruan Xing looked at the black cloak he was wearing.

When they entered the City of Chaos, Mo Cijun told them to keep a low profile, so she found the cloak in her storage bag and put it on over her dress.

However, her focus was not on this aspect, but she asked incredulously: "So the idea and plan to save me is also temporary?"

Xie Huai nodded with a stiff face.

"It's really hard for me not to suspect that you have ulterior motives when you do this." Ruan Xing sighed.

Xie Huai felt a little depressed after hearing this and wanted to turn around and leave, but he gritted his teeth and restrained himself.

"Do you think I'm a person who is afraid of death?"

Ruan Xing nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Xie Huai choked and took back the words he had originally intended to say to persuade Ruan Xing.

In a trance, he thought he was back to the days in Nanzhou where Ruan Xing annoyed him to death every day.

But we are not in Nanzhou now.

He is in the North.

It only took a second for Xie Huai to come back to his senses. He continued, "Your current cultivation is stronger than mine. If I don't send you out of the Northern Territory after you leave with me, you can take me with you to die at any time."

Xie Huai seemed like a different person.

Didn't he originally hate being controlled and interfered with?

The arrogance hidden in his body seemed to disappear.

Is it possible that the North is so hard-working?
But Ruan Xing still agreed, "Okay."

Let her see what Xie Huai wants to do.

Walking out of the cell wrapped in green vines, Xie Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she finally agreed.

Then he turned around and motioned Ruan Xing to follow him out.

The walls of the surrounding passages are covered with quiet green vines.

The dim light makes people feel uneasy.

Soon they came to a fork in the road, and Xie Huai skillfully led her to the corner, seeming to be very familiar with the passage in the underground palace.

"Have you been here for a long time?" Ruan Xing asked suddenly.

"About the same." Xie Huai replied, "I've lived here for the past few years since returning to the North, and rarely go out."

Ruan Xing was a little surprised, "What about your ambitions?"

What is the difference between Xie Huai staying in the dark underground palace and being in prison?

It's just that the range of activities is a little bigger than her cell.

Xie Huaimo said: "The Saint Demon Lord is doing this for my safety. With my current level of cultivation, it is very easy to encounter danger in the northern border. The Saint Demon Lord said that after I reach the Nascent Soul stage and have the strength to call myself a Demon Lord, I can enter and exit the underground palace freely." "The speed of practicing the magic techniques should be quite fast." Ruan Xing said.

"I am already in the late Jindan stage. Saint Demon Lord said that I can reach Yuanying in eight or nine years at the latest."

The two of them just thought of it as a casual chat to ease the tense atmosphere.

However, after turning another passage, Ruan Xing finally realized something was wrong.

When she entered the underground palace, the distance from the entrance to the cell felt only about one kilometer.

She suddenly asked, "Why haven't I encountered a demon cultivator after walking for so long?"

"The Saint Demon Lord doesn't like to be disturbed, and they are also afraid of her. If they run into her when she's in a bad mood, they'll be eaten. But there are demon cultivators near the exit, so just be careful when you follow me..."

As Xie Huai was talking, he also stopped.

He murmured, "No, it's too quiet. Although I haven't been to the entrance very often, it shouldn't be this quiet."

"All the passages here look almost the same. How can you be sure that you are not lost?" Ruan Xing questioned.

Xie Huai's face turned pale in an instant.

He turned his head suddenly.

Saint Demon Lord Xie Yao, who usually lay lazily on the couch and seldom moved, was standing at the corner they had just passed.

She raised her eyes, which seemed to be forever asleep, slightly and looked at Xie Huai.

"Holy Demon Lord..." Xie Huai's voice trembled slightly.

"I gave you your name." Xie Yao said something confusing, "Unfortunately, you don't look like your mother at all."

She leaned against the wall with her hands like a boneless person. The green vines slowly squirmed and wrapped around Xie Huai's body, gradually tightening and making it difficult for him to breathe.

“Holy Demon Lord, please spare my life…” Xie Huai’s face was filled with pain and his voice was weak.

"It's really disappointing." Xie Yao sighed.

The crisp sound of bones breaking was heard.

Xie Huai's head drooped limply.

The green vine returned to its original place, and Xie Huai's body fell to the ground, his expression of panic and pain completely frozen.

A gray figure walked over from the other end of the passage and stood behind Xie Yao. A trace of sadness flashed in his cloudy eyes.

Ruan Xing stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes.

She always thought that Xie Huai and Xie Yao had some special relationship.

I didn't expect that Xie Yao would actually attack Xie Huai.

As expected, she is a demon cultivator with weak kinship… Anyone who goes against her wishes will die.

Xie Huai's body was very close to Ruan Xing, and she could feel that there was no life left in that body.

If Xie Huai was in the Nascent Soul or Spirit Transformation stage, he might be able to shed his soul and attach it to a spiritual weapon, or find someone to take over his body.

But he is just a golden elixir.

When you die, it's over.

Ruan Xing was a little confused.

But before she could figure it out, Xie Yao's eyes had already turned to her and he said calmly, "So you are Ruan Xing."

[End of simulation]

Looking at Mo Cijun who was waiting for her answer, Ruan Xing touched her still existing head under the pretext of scratching it.

He took a breath with lingering fear.

"Is it difficult to decide? Haven't you always wanted to know the formula of the longevity elixir? You don't cherish the opportunity given to you." Mo Cijun raised his eyebrows.

"No, no, I don't deserve it." Ruan Xing waved his hand, "I won't go, and I won't ask anymore in the future."

Mo Cijun looked at her in surprise.

How come you changed your mind in just a few seconds?
But it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to go.

Mo Cijun nodded and said casually: "In that case, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"That won't work." Ruan Xing shook his head and said, "Even if I don't go, you're still going to the North, right? So I have to persuade you not to go."

Mo Cijun laughed and said, "Why are you trying to persuade me? Although the North is dangerous, I know what to do. Thank you for your kindness."

Seeing that Mo Cijun didn't take her words seriously, Ruan Xing stopped talking.

Xie Yao's suspicion was not groundless. If Mo Cijun was really a member of the Hidden Sect, he would have many reasons to go to the northern border.

No matter what Ruan Xing said, it would be of no use.

I have already done my best to give you some advice, there is not much friendship between the two of them.

In any case, Ruan Xing did not plan to continue simulating the route to the Northern Border. She almost knew everything she needed to know. Although she did not understand what Xie Huai was doing in the end, that was not important. As long as she did not go to the Northern Border, she would not fall into Xie Yao's hands.

Mo Cijun left.

Ruan Xing stayed in the small courtyard provided for her by Wanbao Tower and began to think about her own martial arts.

The first month after Mo Cijun left, she spent her seventh year in the world of immortal cultivation.

Mo Cijun had not returned yet, and even Cen Zhong's expression became heavy.

In Wanbao Tower, Mo Cijun plays an irreplaceable role.

If he really couldn't come back, the turmoil that Wanbaolou would have to experience would be unimaginable.

In comparison, whether Ruan Xing can inherit the mantle of the second floor master and bring benefits to Wanbao Tower has become less important.

But Ruan Xing was helpless and at a loss as to what to do.

After the New Year, there was still no progress on the martial arts, but Ruan Xing was already about to leave Canghai City.

Something is going to happen between this year and next.

That is Qintai He, who is about to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

But the day he reaches Nascent Soul stage is the day he will die. Qin Taihe has helped her a lot, and she can't just stand by and watch him die without helping him.

Since she is now capable of rescuing Qin Taihe, and there is still some time before Xie Yao attacks Zhongzhou, there is no rush for the matter of the martial arts.

After saying goodbye to Cen Zhong, she set off.

Wanbao Tower is now shrouded in dark clouds, and Cen Zhong has no intention of caring about her affairs. She has used up all the fifth-level elixir materials she collected in the past few years.

Wait until she reunites with Qintai He.

Another seven or eight days have passed.

"Have you been in contact with the peak master during this period?" Before they had time to reminisce about the past, Ruan Xing asked the question that concerned her most.

Qin Taihe was surprised at first, then a guilty look emerged on his face, "No, the distance is too far, the information on the sect jade token may not be transmitted accurately, and I... just think of me as being homesick. Although Master didn't blame me, I still don't dare to face Master."

Ruan Xing lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Are you about to reach the Nascent Soul stage?"

Qin Taihe nodded, "Yes, but it's not ready yet. It will probably take about a year. Before I reach Nascent Soul stage, I will definitely go back to see my master."

"Then you should achieve Nascent Soul stage in advance and start your retreat now." Ruan Xing said.

"What do you mean?" Qin Taihe was at a loss.
