Yun Chusi and the others were extremely worried. Just as they were about to kneel down and plead on behalf of Yun Chujiu, Yun Chujiu said to Elder Xiao with a smile, “Elder Xiao, can I have a word with you?”
Bai Moyu secretly pursed his lips. ‘Can I have a word with you? Will Elder Xiao still listen to you?’
Unexpectedly, Elder Xiao saw Yun Chujiu desperately winking at him. He did not know what Yun Chujiu was up to, so he could only take Yun Chujiu out of the room.
“Little Panshi [1], I know that the Bai siblings are related to you, but these two are ingrates. Ah, and that Yun Chushan is not a good person! You don’t have to do much. You’ll know after observing her!
“In a while, you can just symbolically punish me. I’m doing this for the sake of Spirit Radiance Sect. I’ll give up my own reputation. Isn’t it easy to deal with me?
Elder Xiao was confused by Yun Chujiu’s words. What nonsense was she talking about? However, when Yun Chujiu called out ‘Little Panshi’, Elder Xiao instantly became three times smaller. Yun Chujiu did not need to call out her seniority!
Not long after, the two of them returned to the room. Elder Xiao’s face was livid as he said, “Yun Chujiu used torture on her own accord and will be withheld of half a year’s worth of sect resources. As for the matters within the mystic realm, I’ll only punish her after I’ve investigated thoroughly.”
After Elder Xiao finished speaking, he did not wait for the others to react. He flicked his sleeves and left. Seeing this, Elder Qu and the others also left.
Yun Chujiu hugged her shoulders and shook her calves. She said arrogantly, “Bai Morou, Yun Chushan, if you continue to spout nonsense, I’ll give up the sect’s resources for the next ten years and beat you to the ground!”
Bai Morou was furious. Elder Xiao was clearly an old friend of her grandfather, but she did not expect him to help Yun Chujiu. How hateful!
Bai Moyu’s eyes flickered. There was no proof of what was said in the secret realm, and Elder Xiao could not do anything to them. The most important thing now was to get rid of Yun Chujiu. As long as he got rid of Yun Chujiu, Yanran would continue to give him that magical pill, and it would not be long before he could break through again!
These new inner sect disciples were divided into three groups. The Bai siblings and Yun Chushan were one group, and the followers were mainly male disciples who were interested in Bai Morou and Yun Chushan. Yun Chujiu was one group. Aside from the Yun siblings, Qing Si, and Su Yun, there were also Chen Dachuan and the other eight people. The remaining three people, Liao Chuan, Mo Zuo, and Xia Mufeng, had a very close relationship, so the three of them formed a group.
In the first few days of the journey, they would stop and walk to find some valleys and forests. They would let these disciples hunt demonic beasts and carry out trials. Occasionally, they would stay overnight in some towns for everyone to relax and let their guards down.
In fact, Elder Xiao and Elder Qu knew that this tactic would only confuse the Heavenly Gates Sect for a few days. In the end, they would be able to guess the direction of the group with just one look at the route. However, a few days was enough, at least when they want to send people to intercept them, it would already be too late!
After more than ten days, they flew to a fiery valley.
As soon as they got off the flying spirit tool, they felt a wave of heat. As far as their eyes could see, the entire valley was scarlet red.
At first, they thought it was earth fire, but after taking a closer look, they realized that it was a kind of scarlet red grass. It was never-ending and looked quite spectacular.
“These are Fire Edelweiss. The juice is extremely poisonous. If it gets into a wound or if you accidentally ingest it, it’ll instantly be fatal. You guys should be careful!” Elder Xiao said seriously.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Bai Moyu’s eyes flickered. This Fire Edelweiss was a good thing! When no one was paying attention, Bai Moyu pretended to tidy up his boots and pulled out a few Fire Edelweiss to hide in his storage bag.
