Cao Rong's pupils constricted, and his expression darkened as he understood their predicament.
Jiang Li had gone in, leaving Tang Siqi to face two opponents, one of whom was a genius in formations. Given Tang Siqi's personality, she would never put herself in such a dangerous situation.
Now, it seemed their junior sister would have no choice but to enter, casting a shadow over Cao Rong's heart. He hadn't considered this before.
Li Qin saw her senior brother's grim expression and found it hard to believe. Did he really believe the words of this demonic cult vixen?
Immediately after, Cao Rong transmitted a message to Li Qin, "Junior Sister, you are protected by the Grand Elder's many treasures, so you'll definitely be safe. As for that little demon, he's just trash at the Qi Gathering realm, easily extinguished by you with a flick of your wrist..."
Jiang Li habitually used the concealment function of the [Qian Kun Zao Hua Jue], hiding his cultivation. Therefore, they were unaware that Jiang Li was already a cultivator at the Core Formation realm.
Li Qin's face became incredibly wronged, tears welling up in her eyes...
"Senior Brother... I don't want to go in with that little demon. I want to go with you..." Li Qin said plaintively.
Cao Rong's brows furrowed, "Be good, Junior Sister..."
The two of them continued to exchange words at the entrance of the secret realm.
Not far away, Tang Siqi and Jiang Li watched the scene unfold silently, not speaking further.
Tang Siqi's friendly smile towards Jiang Li had vanished. At this point, there was no need for pretense...
Ultimately, Li Qin was persuaded.
Li Qin looked at Jiang Li with an incredibly resentful gaze. Why did I have to be dragged along with you, just because you went in first...
"Alright, you two, stop dawdling and go in!" Tang Siqi said indifferently.
Cao Rong also stared intently at the two of them.
Then, Jiang Li and Li Qin approached the entrance of the secret realm.
Li Qin's face was filled with apprehension. Despite having numerous defensive treasures, she had no idea what dangers this secret realm held.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, then suddenly grabbed Li Qin's hand and pulled her into the secret realm.
Cao Rong watched Jiang Li suddenly grab his junior sister's hand, his eyelids twitching violently. He hadn't even held his junior sister's hand, and this demon cult brat was tired of living...
...
The moment they entered the secret realm, Jiang Li felt a surge of surging spiritual energy permeating the surroundings.
Before him was a vast expanse of white mist. Jiang Li held Li Qin's hand tightly, not letting go.
Li Qin tried to break free but found it impossible. Was this demonic sect disciple so strong?
He's not at the Qi Gathering realm? Li Qin was shocked.
The aura of the Core Formation realm emanating from Jiang Li now made Li Qin feel a sense of fear.
This guy actually hid his cultivation, how wicked...
After a while, the white mist began to dissipate.
Before Jiang Li's eyes appeared a large expanse of blooming flowers.
This seemed to be a sea of flowers, with the fragrance of blossoms filling the air.
Interspersed within the sea of flowers were many precious spiritual herbs.
This secret realm is not bad; I've already found quite a few spiritual herbs upon entering, Jiang Li thought with joy as he looked at the surrounding herbs.
"Let go of me... you little demon..." a clear and melodious voice rang in Jiang Li's ears.
Jiang Li turned his head and looked at Li Qin beside him, her face flushed red.
Jiang Li's grip had left a red mark on Li Qin's wrist.
Jiang Li noticed that Li Qin's favorability towards him was still not negative; it was still at 5 points.
As expected of someone who values appearance; beauty is justice. Despite his demonic sect identity and the forceful act of pulling her in, she still had a good impression of him.
Upon closer inspection, this young girl was quite good-looking.
"Little demon, what are you looking at!" Li Qin's face grew even redder as she saw Jiang Li staring at her.
Could this little demon be thinking of doing something untoward to her?
As if recalling something, Li Qin's face turned extremely pale.
"Hand over everything you have!" Jiang Li conjured the Demonic Flame True Fire, which floated in mid-air as he spoke indifferently.
Li Qin: ???????
This little demon, with such a beautiful maiden like herself here, was now robbing her?
Bah, bah, bah... Is this the time to be thinking about that... He actually wants to rob me... How detestable...
The Demonic Flame True Fire emitted an extremely violent aura in the air.
This violent aura caused waves of heat to ripple through the surrounding air.
The surging heat made Li Qin's heart tremble with fear.
Li Qin's face was deathly pale; this little demon possessed a heavenly flame...
"My grandfather is the Grand Elder of the Qingyang Sect. If you dare to rob me, my grandfather will not let you off!" Li Qin said with a tremor.
"Or, do you want to experience something more terrifying?" Jiang Li said lightly, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.
Li Qin's heart was in complete disarray. She had never encountered such a situation.
In Qingyang Sect, she was a beloved little princess. How could this little demon have no pity for a damsel in distress!
The profound coldness in Jiang Li's eyes filled Li Qin with despair. She should have never come!
Li Qin lowered her head deeply, then handed over her spatial ring and the spirit armor she was wearing to Jiang Li.
Following that, Jiang Li sealed Li Qin's Dantian with spiritual energy, leaving her completely without any ability to resist.
Jiang Li examined Li Qin's treasures and spatial ring, his heart filled with delight.
As expected of the granddaughter of the Qingyang Sect's Grand Elder, she was so rich.
Beside him, Li Qin sobbed softly, feeling a wave of grievance.
Stupid Jiang Li, stupid Jiang Li... When I get out, I'll have my grandfather capture you and beat you every day, and I won't give you anything to eat...
"Go and pick all the spiritual herbs around here!" Jiang Li then said to Li Qin.
Li Qin's eyes widened, and tears continued to stream down her face.
How could there be such a person, robbing her of her belongings and then making her work for him...
Under Jiang Li's intimidating gaze, Li Qin obediently ran off to pick spiritual herbs.
As long as the green hills remain, there will be wood to burn...
Those treasures were only a small part of my secret stash; I have plenty more at home. Preserving my life is the most important thing, Li Qin thought, wiping away her tears as she obediently harvested the spiritual herbs.
Li Qin had two Profound-tier spirit treasures on her.
A spirit sword and a spirit armor, both Profound-tier supreme-grade spirit treasures, of astonishing value.
Her spatial ring contained over 500 high-grade spirit stones, along with various miscellaneous elixirs and some spiritual herbs.
This little girl is truly out of her mind, Jiang Li shook his head. With so many good things, she came to a secret realm to find treasures? Was she too bored?
What is this? Jiang Li discovered an ancient-looking manual in Li Qin's spatial ring.
[Spirit Control Technique]: Heaven-tier secret technique. Consumes a large amount of mental energy to condense a seed of divine sense. Those implanted with the seed of divine sense will have their life and death in your control.
