The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Chapter 122 The Way We Came From

"So what? The evidence is conclusive!"

It's possible that Luo Qingcheng deliberately exposed his accomplices to gain their trust.

Those two were just expendable pawns.

Luo Qingcheng was both amused and exasperated.

Fine, she's made her logic consistent; no one can convince this number one beauty in the cultivation world.

Then I won't explain.

Luo Qingcheng said indifferently, "I came from the Path of Gods and Demons, which is full of demonic energy. It's understandable that I'm covered in demonic energy. If Senior Sister Ruan doesn't believe me, then do as you please."

No matter how unfavorable the situation, trying to prove yourself is the most foolish thing to do.

Wan clearly felt emotionally inclined to believe Luo Qingcheng.

Hearing her say that, he frowned, "The Path of Gods and Demons?"

Luo Qingcheng was taken aback.

"Senior Sister Wan doesn't know?"

"Know what?"

Luo Qingcheng looked back and saw that the exit of the Divine Demon Path had disappeared, replaced by cold, hard blue brick walls.

She had an idea, but needed to confirm it.

"Senior Sister Wan, how did you get here?"

Wanqing was confused, but she still answered her question, "There is only one path under the cave. I followed that path and arrived here, where I met them."

They are referring to Mu Ziyuan and Mu Shiyi.

Hearing her ask that, Wanqing realized what was going on.

There shouldn't be only one path after you go down into the underground cave.

But she still needed a definite answer, "Junior Sister Luo, what about you?"

"After going down into the cave, there were two paths. I randomly chose one and arrived at a space with statues. Then I found a path called 'Gods and Demons Path'. This is the end of the path."

Since the two of them are not on the same path, what about the others?

The two of them looked at Xue Zhao, who was delirious and like a lump of mud after being poisoned by multiple toxins.

Mu Ziyuan, who had lost consciousness and collapsed into Mu Shiyi's arms, and Mu Shiyi, who was struggling to stay afloat.

Mu Shiyi also felt their gazes.

Wan clearly showed no intention of showing any leniency towards the suspects.

If she hadn't been unable to do anything to Luo Qingcheng, she wouldn't have argued with him for so long.

They planned to wait for Luo Qingcheng to lose his protective shield in this battlefield where using spiritual power would accelerate its depletion.

Mu Shiyi gritted her teeth and said, "I can tell you, but you have to give the young lady the antidote first!"

Wan Qingchu sneered, "It seems you haven't figured out the situation."

She has no intention of giving the antidote.

She didn't know, she didn't believe Luo Qingcheng's spiritual energy shield could hold for long. As long as the protection was removed, she could take all these people out!

Luo Qingcheng, always eager for drama, said, "Brother, you'd better cooperate. The sooner we uncover this underground palace conspiracy, the sooner we can clear ourselves of suspicion, and besides—"

She looked Mu Shiyi up and down, her figure slender and graceful. "With your skinny arms and legs, how much essence do you still have left to convert?"

Mu Shiyi remained unmoved. Even if his essence was shattered today, he would still protect the young lady and ensure her safety!

"Give me the antidote, and I'll tell you anything you want to know!"

"Oh? It seems you know something else."

Luo Qingcheng, feigning a friendly demeanor towards Wan Qingchu, raised an eyebrow and winked at her, "Why don't you give Mu Ziyuan an antidote pill, Senior Sister Wan? Maybe you'll get more information about the demonic energy."

Wanqing also became interested in the "other things" that Mu Shiyi mentioned.

However, before she entered the Nightmare Realm, she was repeatedly warned by the elders, especially the concerned acting sect leader, Senior Brother Ling, that she should not underestimate anyone like the Sea God, and that if she were attacked by demonic energy, the consequences would be fatal.

Haven't you noticed that the once arrogant Mahayana Sea God has become a Foundation Establishment Sea Clan Chief?

Sea Clan Chief: Are you being polite?

Wan clearly refused to give Mu Ziyuan the antidote.

Luo Qingcheng sighed.

Seeing that Wan was determined not to give it, he could only reluctantly take out a porcelain bottle.

He said in a pretentious tone, "It's a pity that my antidote pill, worth nine hundred and ninety-nine spirit stones, could not escape the fate of dying young."

Wan clearly: ...

Mu Shiyi: "...I'll offer two thousand."

Luo Qingcheng smiled and said, "Sir, the price outside is different from the price inside."

Mu Shiyi spat out a mouthful of black blood, wiped it away, and said, "Name your price."

Luo Qingcheng held up five fingers.

Mu Shiyi never expected that this woman would not only take advantage of the situation but also be so heartless.

Luo Qingcheng was frightened by his suspicious expression, his conscience ached, and he struggled with whether or not to drop a finger.

Then Mu Shiyi said, "Fifty thousand it is, just give me the pills."

fifty thousand?

Luo Qingcheng was shocked.

Mu Shiyi glared at her. "You don't necessarily want another 500,000, do you?"

If Luo Qingcheng were to make such an outrageous demand, he would have no choice but to complain to the family head after he left, and have the family head ask the Sword Sect how they taught their disciples.

Luo Qingcheng quickly shook his head, afraid that he would change his mind, and hurriedly ran over and stuffed the porcelain bottle into Mu Shiyi's hand.

Mu Shiyi tremblingly took the porcelain bottle. With the triple debuffs of poisoning, depletion of spiritual power, and damage to his origin stacked on top of each other, he shakily poured out a pill and stuffed it into Mu Ziyuan's mouth.

Seeing that the dark aura on Mu Ziyuan's face had subsided somewhat, his expression softened.

The poison wasn't cured, but at least his life was saved.

Luo Qingcheng stared at him expectantly.

Mu Shiyi was silent for a moment, then said, "The spirit stones are in the storage ring. They don't have spiritual power, so I can't open them."

Luo Qingcheng's face clearly said three words: "Trying to renege on your debt?"

Mu Shiyi scoffed, "My Mu family has plenty of spirit stones. I will give them to you after we leave."

Luo Qingcheng didn't believe him. "Swear an oath, an oath from your inner demons."

Mu Shiyi is from a collateral branch of the Mu family, so how could she possibly be willing to listen to Luo Qingcheng and make some kind of inner demon oath?

But people under the eaves have to bow their heads.

Facing the sword pressed against Mu Ziyuan's neck, he was filled with humiliation and made a heart-wrenching vow.

"If I, Mu Shiyi, do not return the 50,000 spirit stones to Luo Qingcheng after the competition, I will be plagued by inner demons and die."

As the oath was uttered, intricate black patterns formed a Heavenly Dao array. Mu Shiyi felt a new restriction appear in her dantian and said irritably, "Are you satisfied now?"

Luo Qingcheng nodded.

"Now you can tell me how you got here."

Seeing that her young lady was temporarily out of danger, Mu Shiyi was not ungrateful and simply said, "My lady and I were tricked by that villain Xue Zhao and accidentally fell into a cave. After falling, there were two paths. My lady randomly chose one path. We followed that path to the end and that's where we are."

"Didn't you encounter anything on the road?"

Luo Qingcheng was skeptical and asked again.

Mu Shiyi glanced to the upper right and then said firmly, "I didn't encounter anything!"

He is lying!

Luo Qingcheng was certain.

His words flowed too smoothly; he spoke such a long passage without the slightest hesitation, his words were stiff, as if he had already prepared the entire speech in his mind, and when he asked again, his eyes rolled to the upper right.

Something must have happened between those two!

Having exhausted all other options by pressing the question, Luo Qingcheng changed the subject.

"Then how did Xue Zhao get here? Did you come together?"

Seeing that she wasn't clinging on, Mu Shiyi lowered his shoulders slightly, adopting a relaxed posture, and casually replied, "No, we didn't see him after we got to the bottom of the cave."
