242: The frustrated Holy Maiden of Yaochi shocked everyone.
Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of Zhou Zhenyue and Qi Xiuyuan.
They were both glad they had chosen to remain bystanders just now.
If they had attacked alongside Long Jin, they might have been directly finished off by Su Yun as well.
At this moment, Su Yun brought Liu Ruoxi to the front of the Jade Pool Holy Land team.
Although that Yaochi Disciple pretending to be the Yaochi Holy Maiden had intervened for Liu Ruoxi's sake,
words of thanks still needed to be said.
Then, he glanced at Liu Ruoxi, then at the Yaochi Holy Maiden surrounded by the Yaochi Disciples, and said in a gentle voice:
"Thank you for your help, Fairies of the Jade Pool Holy Land."
"You're welcome, Young Master Su!
I also couldn't stand the overbearing nature of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land, so I stepped in to help.
Besides, Young Master Su's strength is so formidable that you didn't actually need our help."
Li Xue replied with a slight smile.
Meanwhile, she carefully observed Su Yun.
Was this the youth Liu Ruoxi didn't hesitate to secretly leave the Yaochi team to see?
He was indeed very handsome, and his strength was extremely powerful.
No wonder Liu Ruoxi was so eager to act on her own as soon as they entered the Secret Realm.
Thinking of this, Li Xue couldn't help but look at Liu Ruoxi with a strange expression.
Liu Ruoxi suddenly felt that Li Xue's gaze was odd.
But she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was strange about it.
At this time, several of the more lively Jade Pool Holy Land Disciples came up to Su Yun and Liu Ruoxi and asked softly:
"Young Master Su, what is your relationship with the Saintess?"
"Could it be?"
Many Jade Pool Holy Land Disciples' faces flushed red, as if they had thought of something.
The more they thought about it, the more likely they felt it was.
As for that Girl in White Robes, she wasn't a Disciple of the Jade Pool Holy Land.
The Saintess didn't seem to know that Girl in White Robes either.
Therefore, the Saintess definitely stepped in for this Young Master Su.
Hearing these words, Liu Ruoxi instantly became anxious; she almost blurted out a denial.
But in the next moment, she remembered she was still hiding her identity.
So she swallowed her words back down.
She never expected that her Senior and Junior Sisters, who were usually so respectful to her, would have such rich imaginations.
Had they read too many storybooks?
Simply preposterous!
How infuriating!
Liu Ruoxi gritted her teeth; she had already mentally noted those few Yaochi Disciples who were whispering.
She would settle the score with them once they returned.
Then, her dark eyes stared straight at Li Xue.
The corners of Li Xue's mouth curled up slightly as she listened to the whispers of the nearby Yaochi Disciples, laughing inwardly.
Just then, she suddenly noticed Liu Ruoxi's gaze full of Killing Intent, and she quickly snapped out of it, hurriedly saying to those Jade Pool Holy Land Disciples:
"Come back, don't disturb Young Master Su!"
Those few Jade Pool Holy Land Disciples quickly returned to the Jade Pool Holy Land team.
They glanced at Li Xue, whose expression had changed greatly, and were still whispering softly:
"It seems it's true!
The Saintess is probably jealous!
That's why she called us back."
"The Saintess has such good taste. This Young Master Su is powerful, gentle, and so handsome."
"If only I had a Dao Companion like him!"
"He's nothing like that Chen Hao who suddenly showed up earlier claiming to be the Saintess's childhood friend.
He looked ordinary but was so brutal.
He even injured several of our Senior and Junior Sisters!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Liu Ruoxi, who was nearby, also heard the words of those few Disciples and glared at Li Xue a few more times in anger.
Li Xue looked at Liu Ruoxi somewhat helplessly.
She couldn't help it!
It wasn't her fault!
It was those Yaochi Disciples who said it, not her!
"Young Master Su, let's leave first.
Let's not disturb the Disciples of the Jade Pool Holy Land."
Liu Ruoxi only wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible.
If they stayed any longer, who knows what kind of rumors would crop up after a while.
Seeing Liu Ruoxi's expression changing drastically, Su Yun couldn't help but want to laugh.
He once again said to the group of Jade Pool Holy Land Disciples:
"Fairies, I shall take my leave now!"
"Take care, Young Master Su!"
Many Jade Pool Holy Land Disciples said somewhat shyly.
"Let's go, Miss Liu."
Su Yun said to Liu Ruoxi meaningfully.
He almost couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud.
Liu Ruoxi's changing expressions just now were too funny.
Especially when those Jade Pool Holy Land Disciples were gossiping.
At this moment, Liu Ruoxi looked at Su Yun suspiciously.
Could it be that Su Yun had guessed her identity and was intentionally watching her make a fool of herself?
After a moment, she shook her head.
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
Her Disguise Technique was an ancient technique.
It was absolutely impossible for it to be exposed.
So she was just overthinking.
Su Yun led Liu Ruoxi toward the other halls of the Giant Stone Underground Palace.
This Giant Stone Underground Palace had many halls, and the one containing the xuan yuan spiritual liquid was the most exquisitely decorated.
There were also many halls with more ordinary decorations, which likely contained many Heaven And Earth Treasures, Medicinal Pills, or Spiritual Artifacts.
Although they couldn't compare to the xuan yuan spiritual liquid, there were many of them, and most were usable by Cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm.
"Everyone, let's go explore as well!"
With Li Xue's command, the Disciples of the Jade Pool Holy Land also began exploring in another direction.
Just then, the remaining major Holy Lands and Cultivators from some Cultivation Families and Sects also arrived late.
"The Dao Yi Holy Land and Lingwu Holy Land arrived so early?
What happened?"
Li Guanshan looked curiously at the teams from the Lingwu Holy Land and Dao Yi Holy Land.
He noticed that a great battle seemed to have taken place here.
A scorching aura of flames still lingered in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Zhou Zhenyue and Qi Xiuyuan did not answer; they led the Lingwu Holy Land team and the Dao Yi Holy Land team respectively to explore the Giant Stone Underground Palace in different directions.
Only some powerful Cultivators from Cultivation Families and Sects remained, also planning to search for Heaven And Earth Treasures in different halls.
"What? Junior Brother Su Yun is that powerful?"
A moment later, Li Guanshan learned about the situation just now from a familiar Cultivator from a Cultivation Family.
"Long Jin of the Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land is very strong, yet he was finished off in just a few moves?"
"If only Junior Brother Su Yun could join my team, then exploring the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm would be much safer."
Not far away, Chu Jingfeng also heard the crowd's discussions and thought to himself:
"So Su Yun didn't use his full strength when he sparred with me before.
Even Long Jin at the Soul Transformation Tenth Level was finished off by Su Yun in a few moves!
It seems it's not that I'm too weak, but that Su Yun's strength is too great."
Thinking of this, Chu Jingfeng suddenly felt that being defeated by a Junior Brother wasn't so shameful.
After all, Su Yun's strength far exceeded the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Then it was only reasonable for him to be defeated by Su Yun.
Ten breaths later, Li Guanshan led the Taixuan Holy Land team to explore the halls within the underground palace.
Cultivators from other Holy Lands and Cultivation Families also hurried to explore the halls.
Of course, they had also heard of Su Yun's formidable strength and chose directions other than the one he took.
Soon, all the Cultivators entered different halls to search for Heaven And Earth Treasures.
