Baili Wenyue finally realized it – Mo Jinghong was angry.
It was quite obvious that the person Mo Jinghong really wanted to scold was Feng Qingran, who was on the other side.
Even though they had never seen Mo Jinghong angry before, he instinctively felt that provoking an angry Mo Jinghong was a bad idea.
“Seventh Junior Brother, Little Junior Sister is a girl, and she likes to have fun. Besides, she’s not in any immediate danger. Please don’t worry,” Baili Wenyue said cautiously.
“Likes to have fun? I think she’s getting quite bold,” Mo Jinghong said, a flash of red light passing through his pitch-black eyes.
Having regained the memories of an entire lifetime, she should understand how dangerous the cultivation world is.
She should be even more aware of how those people treat the weak.
And yet she still dared to go up there and challenge those people’s limits. Once they sensed even the slightest anomaly…
Her fate would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, when he placed the talisman on Feng Qingran, he had kept a backup plan.
Baili Wenyue and Ning Shiyue looked at each other, shrinking their necks simultaneously, not daring to make a sound.
An angry Seventh Junior Brother was someone you did not want to mess with!
On the other side, Feng Qingran, completely unaware, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
How strange. Even though Seventh Senior Brother had arrived, why did she suddenly start feeling a sense of panic?
“Miss, is this pit acceptable?” Rong Zhuofan’s rough voice interrupted Feng Qingran’s thoughts.
Feng Qingran walked over. “Yes, it’s fine. Sect Master Rong, please come up.”
Others gradually finished digging their pits too.
Someone looked at the pit, which was much deeper than their own height, and thought it wouldn’t be bad for burying someone in.
Burying someone?
That person immediately scrambled out of the pit, looking utterly disheveled, having even forgotten to use a cleansing spell.
Feng Qingran made an inspection and nodded with satisfaction. The pits were all different sizes – that way, any slight discrepancies later wouldn’t be noticeable.
Feng Qingran contacted Yuan Bao. “Yuan Bao, I have a particularly important mission for you right now.”
Yuan Bao said excitedly, “Master, what is it?”
“In a moment, you need to dig something up right under my feet. Do it quickly, and as soon as you’ve dug it out, bring the thing straight back to the space,” Feng Qingran instructed.
Yuan Bao’s task was the most crucial; success or failure hinged on this one move.
“In a little while, I’ll lead everyone here down into the pit, so don’t worry, no one will disturb you,” Feng Qingran explained.
“Master, don’t worry. Digging is what I’m best at,” Yuan Bao promised enthusiastically.
After finalizing the plan with Yuan Bao, Feng Qingran contacted Feng Ci to understand the layout below.
The layout under the black hole was very complex and could trap those people for a considerable amount of time.
So even if there were disturbances up above, they wouldn’t be able to rush back up in time.
Feng Qingran took out a porcelain vial and handed it to Rong Zhuofan. “This is an antidote pill. As long as everyone takes one, you won’t have to fear the poison.”
A man past fifty, who looked like an elder, took the pill before Rong Zhuofan could.
The elder opened the vial to examine it. The fragrance that wafted into his nose lifted his spirits. “This is exactly the right scent, but as for the specific effect, we still need to test it.”
The elder’s words resonated with the others.
Baili Xuanqing asked, “The poisoned people have already been sent away. We have no one to test the pill on.”
Everyone turned their gaze to Feng Qingran. “Miss, who do you think would be suitable to take this pill first?”
“What? You want me to test it?” Feng Qingran asked in return.
The crowd fell silent.
“Testing it myself is fine. Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones per person.”
This amount of spirit stones wasn’t much for any of those present, but wasn’t this pill Feng Qingran’s own? Why should they pay spirit stones for her to test her own medicine?
Rong Zhuofan didn’t waste words and took out the spirit stones. Seeing this, the others also produced their spirit stones.
Feng Qingran put away the spirit stones, took the vial from the elder’s hand, swept her gaze across everyone present, and said, “Consider it even.”
Everyone nodded.
But they didn’t grasp the deeper meaning behind Feng Qingran’s words.
Baili Xuanqing’s eyes were deep and profound as he watched Feng Qingran swallow the pill.
“Gentlemen, I’ll go down first and wait for you all,” Feng Qingran said after swallowing the pill. She rode her sword downwards and disappeared into the hole.
Everyone: Something feels off, doesn’t it?
They waited up above for a while, then heard the sounds of fighting coming from below.
“If we go down too late, what if she contracts the strange beast?” Rong Zhuofan pretended to be worried, took a pill, and jumped down.
Hearing this, the others also took their pills and jumped down.
Don’t ask why they didn’t ride their swords!
They couldn’t compare to Feng Qingran.
After everyone had jumped down, Mo Jinghong and the other two arrived in front of the black hole.
“These people won’t jump into the pits they dug themselves, but they insist on jumping into this bottomless pit…” Baili Wenyue said, utterly confused.
Mo Jinghong’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze falling on the pit that Rong Zhuofan had dug. He walked towards it.
Yuan Bao, who was in the middle of digging something, stopped moving.
He wouldn’t be able to see him, would he?
He was invisible, after all!
Mo Jinghong’s gaze landed on a small sprout. His eyes narrowed slightly. So it was for this thing that she was risking her life.
“Seventh Junior Brother, is there something wrong with this pit?” Baili Wenyue followed him over.
Seeing the two focused on the pit, Ning Shiyue quietly shuffled her feet and crept towards the black hole.
