Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

Chen Kai originally thought that Xiuxing and he had different personalities, so the relationship between the two had always been lukewarm.

Only now did I realize how deeply Xiuxing had misunderstood him.

But now there are more important things at hand, and Chen Kai doesn’t have any extra time to chat with Xiuxing.

I can only put this matter deep in my heart for now, and plan to have a good talk with Xiuxing after this matter is resolved.

After all, since they are brothers from the same school, Chen Kai still hopes that there will be no rift between the two of them.

But while the two were talking, Pu Mingli had already walked to the place where the bulge was originally discovered, intending to close the secret compartment again.

But this time when he put his hand on it, his finger was cut by a sharp part of the protrusion.

Because of the pain, Pu Mingli subconsciously withdrew his finger.

However, she did not notice that when she raised her hand, a drop of blood splashed onto the spiritual text shrouded in blue spiritual power on the secret compartment, and then seeped into the spiritual text.

After the blood seeped in, the spiritual text suddenly dimmed for a moment.

The blood color on the jade pendant sealed under the spiritual text seemed to be even richer, and the wisps of black air that were originally attached to it seemed to be awakened and began to peel off from the jade pendant.

And as if coming alive, it began to ooze out spiritual text. Although the black air that passed through the spiritual text became much thinner, it still escaped from the seal of the spiritual text.

After the black gas overflowed, its target was directly aimed at Pu Mingli in front of him.

Chen Kai happened to be facing Pu Mingli, and he spoke up immediately when he saw this scene.

"Junior sister! Get out of there!"

Xiuxing, who had his back to Pu Mingli, turned around with a puzzled look on his face when he heard the words, and just in time saw the black gas spreading towards Pu Mingli's direction.

Xiuxing's eyes widened in shock and he quickly rushed towards Pu Mingli.

Hearing Chen Kai's anxious voice, Pu Mingli subconsciously looked up, but his body had no time to react and he stayed where he was without moving.

Seeing that the black gas was getting closer to Pu Mingli, Chen Kai hurriedly mobilized the spiritual power in his body and attacked the black gas.

However, he never expected that when the black gas was about to collide with his spiritual power, it turned into black mist, and Chen Kai's spiritual power went straight through the black mist.

After the spiritual power passed through, the black fog gathered again and continued to attack Pu Mingli.

Chen Kai sensed something was wrong. The black energy seemed to have consciousness, so he hurried towards Pu Mingli.

At this time, even if Pu Mingli was slow to react, she realized that something was wrong. She didn't dare to look back, but began to move towards the direction of Xiuxing and Chen Kai.

Xiuxing also rushed to Pu Mingli's side at this time, protected her behind him, and threw out spiritual power towards the black gas.

Seeing this, the black gas used the same trick again and turned into black mist again, allowing the spiritual power to pass through.

However, although Xiuxing's action failed to cause any damage to the black gas, it still delayed the speed of the black gas's advance, allowing Chen Kai to successfully reach the two of them, set up a spiritual barrier, and temporarily isolate the black gas.

All three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could relax, Chen Kai discovered that the spiritual barrier he had set up was actually beginning to weaken under the influence of the black air.

Chen Kai felt something was wrong and began to search for a solution quickly in his mind.

It would definitely not be possible for the three of them to stay here and fight to the death with the black energy.

It is feasible for them to leave together, as he carries a teleportation talisman with him.

But this black energy is too mysterious. If the three of them leave together, something unexpected might happen.

Chen Kai's mind raced as he began to think of countermeasures.

Soon, Chen Kai came up with the optimal solution for this situation.

He just discovered that the target of this black gas seemed to be only Pu Mingli.

Just now, Xiuxing was standing in front of Pu Mingli, and the black gas clearly had many opportunities to approach Xiuxing, but for some reason the black gas was always obsessed with rushing towards Pu Mingli.

Although Chen Kai didn't figure out what was on Pu Mingli's body that attracted the black air, he still made a quick decision at this time.

His cultivation is the highest among the three, and he still has enough strength to face the black energy.

After Xiuxing and Pu Mingli leave, the spiritual power barrier he set up can be reduced accordingly to reduce the consumption of spiritual power.

We should be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

He quickly told Xiuxing in secret.

"Junior brother, I will distract its attention for a while. You take Junior Sister away from here and go get some reinforcements. I will hold on here first."

After saying this, he covered it with his wide sleeves and handed Xiuxing a teleportation talisman.

Xiuxing took the teleportation talisman, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate silently, preparing to find a suitable opportunity to inject the spiritual power into the teleportation talisman.

He also took the opportunity to repeat the plan to Pu Mingli in secret.

After listening to this, Pu Mingli nervously grabbed Chen Kai's sleeve.

At this moment, her eyes were full of guilt and regret.

If it weren't for her willfulness, they wouldn't be facing such danger now.

"Senior brother..."

Looking at Chen Kai who was struggling to maintain the spiritual barrier, Pu Mingli's call of "Senior Brother" was full of guilt.

Chen Kai didn't dare to respond to Pu Mingli obviously now, for fear that the black energy would see their intention to leave. He could only give Pu Mingli a soothing look.

--------

At this point in the story, Chen Kai sighed deeply and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"The plan didn't work?"

Seeing Chen Kai's expression, Lin Wenyu asked tentatively.

The bitter smile on Chen Kai's face became more and more obvious.

“It succeeded, but it’s only half successful.

I underestimated the dark energy."
