17: Another saint's tomb!

"Short-term pain is better than long-term suffering. Being half-dead like this is also painful. Let me help you find release!"

As Zi Yun spoke, she pulled out a dagger!

Chen Xian: "???"

In his agitation, he suddenly sat up from Zi Yun's embrace.

"Wait, why do I feel like you're even more cruel than those three demonic cultivators!"

He was seriously injured, yet this woman didn't even have the thought of saving him; she actually wanted to finish him off directly!

The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart!

Seeing that Chen Xian was fine, Zi Yun pushed him off her body with a shove.

"Hmph, a lecher is a lecher. Don't ever expect to get my concern again!"

Just now, she had indeed been so anxious she was about to shed tears.

Since arriving in the North Continent's Beast Forest, she had first lost her Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters!

When she saw this lecher also dying because of her, guilt and a sense of powerlessness surged in Zi Yun's heart.

But when she looked down and saw a hint of enjoyment on Chen Xian's face,

Zi Yun knew this guy was probably tricking her!

"If you're fine, get up and let's go."

"I'm afraid those demonic cultivators in this Secret Realm want to kill us and the North Continent's Cultivators to stir up conflict between the South Province and the North Continent!"

"We must not let them succeed!"

"Then what should we do?"

"Naturally, we must catch those demonic cultivators!"

Chen Xian waved his hands repeatedly.

"I can't take on this job!"

"Hmm?"

"If it's finding people in here, I might be able to provide some help. But dealing with demonic cultivators—do you think that's something a person at the Qi Refining Second Layer like me should be doing?"

Qi Refining Second Layer!

Chen Xian felt that in this Small World,

besides him, there was no one else with a lower cultivation level.

Even Da Huang was probably stronger than him. Yet this woman, Zi Yun, wanted to achieve great things with a small investment!

A heaven concealing mirror was good.

It was more than enough as a reward for finding someone.

But when it came to dealing with demonic cultivators, he wouldn't do it even if it killed him!

"Hmm? Can't you beat demonic cultivators?"

Chen Xian: "..."

"I'm very happy you have such confidence in me. But, I really can't beat them!"

Killing one or two demonic cultivators was easy, but opposing them as a whole...

That was no different from seeking death.

"Fine, if you're looking for someone, I'll continue to accompany you. If you're going to go against the demonic cultivators, I advise you not to court death!"

Even the Yaochi Immortal Palace might not dare claim to oppose the demonic cultivators.

This woman was still too naive.

"Hmph, demonic cultivators are evil and cruel; everyone in the world should execute them on sight. You are truly useless!"

Zi Yun said somewhat helplessly, "Alright then, I'll let you go. I'm going to hunt down that demonic cultivator, capture him alive, and send him out..."

After she finished speaking, she turned around to leave.

However, in the next second, Zi Yun stepped on a stone.

Only a 'crack' was heard.

Swish!

A huge pit appeared beneath her feet.

Chen Xian and Da Huang fell into the deep pit along with Zi Yun.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

The moment they fell into the deep pit,

Chen Xian decisively pulled out the elephant bone sword and stabbed it fiercely towards the stone wall on the side, thinking that by stabbing it in, he could stop himself.

As a result, with this strike,

the stone wall didn't even get a scratch.

Instead, it sent out bursts of sparks.

Zi Yun gripped Chen Xian's arm tightly, and Da Huang even bit onto Chen Xian's leg.

"Damn! You two are too heavy!"

"Zi Yun, can't you fly?"

Hearing this, Zi Yun reacted instantly.

"Oh right, I can fly!"

Foundation Establishment Cultivators can fly with the assistance of Magic Treasures.

It was just that when they fell just now, she had forgotten this point in her panic.

Thinking of this, Zi Yun decisively brought out her silk ribbon.

Supported by the silk ribbon, she floated in the deep pit.

"Phew, that scared me to death. It seems there really are quite a few traps in this Secret Realm!"

Chen Xian: "..."

"Can you give me a lift?"

He alone was bearing the weight of a person and a dog with his sword.

Although he could support it for now, it was exhausting!

Zi Yun gave a smug smile.

"Hmph, considering you helped this young lady deal with the demonic cultivator, I'll save you once today. From now on, the two of us are even."

However, the moment the two of them made contact,

suddenly a beam of light attacked from below.

When they opened their eyes again,

they had already appeared inside a burial chamber.

"Where is this? Why is there another burial chamber?"

"Could it also belong to that Saint outside?"

Chen Xian subconsciously shook his head.

The old man was free-spirited and extremely casual.

That extremely simple tomb was likely his.

And this tomb, according to the information he had, was likely the tomb of another Saint in this Secret Realm!

Two Saint's tombs in one Secret Realm!

Chen Xian was already somewhat curious about this place. Just what kind of blessed land was it that would make two Saints both want to be buried here!

"Don't just stand there, let's look ahead!"

Staying in the tomb passage was useless.

They had to find an exit first.

Chen Xian and Zi Yun walked cautiously forward, one after the other. Of course, in front of the two of them was Da Huang!

Relying on his keen nose, Da Huang was frantically searching for a path to survival within the tomb passage.

Following Da Huang's lead, the two of them didn't trigger any traps at all.

At this point, no matter how foolish Zi Yun was, she knew this dog was not ordinary.

"Is this dog of yours a treasure-seeking dog?"

At this moment, Da Huang instead raised his head.

He let out two barks.

It seemed he was protesting.

Chen Xian waved his hands repeatedly.

"Oh please, can a treasure-seeking dog even compare to Da Huang?"

"Then Da Huang is..."

"Da Huang is a stray dog!"

Da Huang: "..."

If I hadn't recognized you as my master, I would've turned around and bitten you twice already.

Two people and one dog.

By this time, they had already arrived at an underground grand hall.

Looking at the magnificent architecture inside,

Zi Yun sucked in a breath of cold air.

"What a huge place."

Chen Xian also marveled inwardly.

Although the underground palace was very large, standing here, they discovered that ordinary buildings were likely not even as big as this palace.

Compared to it, the Marquis of Jubei's underground palace was probably only at the level of a side room.

I'm afraid the entire Marquis Jubeis Residence was not as large as this underground palace!

The two stood beside a stone pillar.

Looking at the writing on it,

Zi Yun exclaimed, "This is the ruins of the Joyous Union Sect!"

"Joyous Union Sect?"

Chen Xian had a look of confusion.

Zi Yun, however, began to explain slowly.

"The Joyous Union Sect was once a top-tier Sect in the North Continent. Only because the people of their Sect took the pleasure between men and women as the foundation of their cultivation, and especially because their Sect Master offended someone he shouldn't have..."

"...the entire Sect was eventually wiped out!"

Zi Yun lamented, "I didn't expect that we would actually see the ruins of their Sect here!"

Chen Xian smacked his lips.

The Da Gan Dynasty had been established for eight hundred years.

The history before this had been almost completely wiped clean by the Da Gan Dynasty.

So he really didn't know much about this period of history.

But hearing Zi Yun's brief explanation,

he understood the key point.

It was nothing more than this Sect Master setting his sights on someone he shouldn't have.

Which finally brought about the disaster of his death.

Now Chen Xian was somewhat curious whether this Sect Master was that Saint!
