221: You damn girl, this time... you brought it to my doorstep!

The moonlight was like water.

After the blazing sun disappeared behind the western mountains, the night in the Endless Desert brought a hint of coolness.

However, inside Sky Serpent City,

the atmosphere remained somewhat fervent.

Mu Lin and the patriarchs of several major tribes, to celebrate the return of the Medusa Queen and the arrival of Xiao Chen and his group,

had specially organized a grand bonfire banquet in the Sacrificial Plaza.

Although Cai Yan and Xiao Chen were not present, the banquet was still in full swing.

Many Snake-People Clan men and women were singing and dancing together, which Murong Qingxue and Xiao Meier found very novel.

"Has Young Master and Sister Cai Yan still not come out?"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the entire plaza was quite lively, but the main figures were nowhere to be seen, Bai Suxin immediately asked with some surprise.

"No..."

Hearing Bai Suxin's words, Xiao Meier shook her head and replied.

"You all know how much trouble that rotten younger brother Xiao Chen can cause; without at least half a day or a full day and night, those two won't emerge from the main hall."

Hearing Xiao Meier's blunt words, the faces of Bai Suxin and the others flushed slightly, as if they had all thought of something similar.

"Where's Die?"

Feeling a hint of longing internally, Bai Suxin quickly suppressed the romantic thoughts in her heart.

She scanned the plaza with her gaze and asked with some surprise.

"That girl said she had something to take care of and hasn't appeared since."

Xiao Meier rolled her eyes at the remark, her voice somewhat peculiar as she replied.

"But I think... that girl is being very secretive; she's probably not up to anything good."

...On the other side.

Compared to the lively Sacrificial Plaza, the main hall deep within the royal city seemed somewhat quiet.

And on the main hall where Xiao Chen and Cai Yan were located, a figure was stealthily lying on the rooftop.

She was afraid that her figure would be seen by others.

"Damn it, the restriction my sister set is too strong, isn't it?"

Feeling the formidable power of the restriction barrier within the main hall, Die couldn't help but show an indignant expression on her face.

From noon until now,

several hours had passed, and these two still hadn't come out.

Could they have passed out inside?!

However, the more this happened, the more curious Die became.

Within these few hours, she continuously tried to break through this restriction, but she just couldn't penetrate it.

It made her cheeks puff out with anger.

Her cultivation was still a bit weak; trying to quietly break through the restriction

was still a bit too difficult for her right now.

If she were to unleash her full cultivation to break the restriction, it would inevitably alarm others and also anger her sister and brother-in-law.

She was just curious; it wasn't worth losing her mind over.

"Forget it, I'll just go back to sleep."

Just as Die was about to give up, she suddenly felt the restriction of the main hall fluctuate violently.

This immediately made her eyes light up.

After a restriction barrier is set up, the person who created it needs to inject new energy into it periodically.

Otherwise,

the energy of the restriction barrier would not last too long.

Now that the restriction barrier was fluctuating, it proved that the barrier's true essence was about to be depleted.

It seemed that her continuous erosion just now had caused a massive consumption of the barrier's true essence, requiring the original owner to replenish it.

This brief fluctuation was an opportunity.

As long as her sister couldn't replenish the true essence in time, she would be able to break through the restriction's blockade and successfully peek into everything within the main hall.

As the thought settled,

Die condensed her soul power into a soul needle and, at this moment, fiercely stabbed it into the barrier.

The next moment,

just as she had predicted.

The restriction barrier, which had been so difficult to break through, was completely pierced by her soul needle in that instant.

But as the soul needle pierced through,

the scene inside the main hall at that moment also entered her mind.

That sound, that image...

In an instant, Die's pupils couldn't help but widen, and she froze completely on the rooftop of the main hall.

What an evil and bizarre sacrificial ritual... She never expected that her good sister would actually be secretly performing an evil sacrificial ritual here; how heartbroken Murong Qingxue and the others would be if they knew!

No, she must leave immediately!

Otherwise, if she were discovered, this sister of hers would recognize no kin, and she would definitely be in danger!

After a storm of emotions surged within her, Die clamped her hand over her mouth, then carefully stood up.

She prepared to leave here and calm down.

But just then,

Cai Yan seemed to sense something, looked up at the top of the main hall, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"My dear sister..."

"This time, you came knocking on the door yourself, so you can't blame your sister."

After speaking these two sentences, Cai Yan raised her hand and grabbed towards the top of the main hall.

The next moment,

the void was torn open by Cai Yan, and her right hand reached into the void crack, appearing like a ghost behind Die.

As the void behind Die shattered, Cai Yan's arm grabbed her.

Then, amidst Die's cries of alarm, she pulled the other party into the rift... The next day.

As the spiritual crystals in front of him continuously turned to powder, vast spiritual energy unceasingly flowed into Xiao Chen's body.

Xiao Ming suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, and a terrifyingly powerful cultivation aura swept out like a storm.

After a day and a night of cultivation, his own cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds again.

He had only broken through to the Ninth-level Nirvana Realm the day before, and now he had actually broken through to the Third-level Profound Realm!

Such a terrifying speed of advancement... made him wonder if, perhaps, in just a few years, he could attain the Dao of a Great Emperor.

"Wuwuwu, Sister, how could you do this, without giving me any preparation?"

As Xiao Chen was lamenting the abnormal speed of his cultivation, Die, looking utterly wronged, spoke to Cai Yan beside her.

She hadn't even been ready.

She was pulled in by Cai Yan and sacrificed on the spot; is this something a sister would do?

It made her feel so weak now.

"You really weren't ready?"

Hearing Die's words, which sounded as if she was about to die from injustice, Cai Yan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh at this moment, and with her right hand, she pinched the other party's chin.

"My dear sister, you clearly cooperated so well, and even seemed to enjoy it immensely, so how can you say... you weren't ready?"

"This time's sacrifice, you were the main character..."

As these two sentences fell, Die's face flushed crimson, and she looked at Xiao Chen with a collapsed expression.

"Young Master, Sister is bullying me, quickly help me teach her a lesson!!"

Medusa Queen is asking for free small gifts, hoping everyone can support her.
