Mortal: Reborn in Yellow Maple Valley, Awakening the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts

Chu Zifei, who had been calm, changed his expression drastically the moment he caught sight of the red sphere. He threw it away with lightning speed, then carefully collected the elixir and essence blood. With a flash of spiritual light from his Cloud-Stepping Boots, he transformed into a blur and sped away.

During his escape, he even turned back and shouted a warning to Nangong Wan and Han Li: "Get out of here quickly, or it will be too late!"

The two were puzzled. The black dragon had already been killed and the crisis was over, so what could possibly happen?

Nangong Wan turned to look at Han Li, her eyes full of inquiry. Han Li shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I also want to leave, but I'm currently injured. If I go out rashly, I might become a fat sheep to be slaughtered. It's better to stay here to heal my injuries for now, and leave when I can barely protect myself."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan nodded slightly: "Things have come to this point, and I'm unwilling to give up halfway. That black dragon is a treasure trove; are you really willing to abandon it?"

As soon as they finished speaking, their eyes burned with fervor as they both turned to the corpse of the black dragon and the treasure chest in the pavilion. In their view, this place had been occupied by the black dragon for many years, and now that the beast was dead, there would be no more accidents.

But just then, the red sphere suddenly changed.

After Chu Zifei threw the ball, it rolled and rolled until it finally stopped at Nangong Wan's feet.

Nangong Wan examined it for a moment, then picked up the sphere with a slightly surprised look and squeezed it. As a result, it exploded instantly upon contact, and a large cloud of pink smoke enveloped her and Han Li.

Amidst the allure of passion, a beautiful woman sits in his lap, her allure irresistible. A lone man and woman, alone in a room, are like dry tinder meeting a raging fire; what follows needs no further description.

Having escaped most of the tunnel, Chu Zifei heard the faint, seductive sounds coming from the underground space behind him, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Could it be that fate is truly inescapable? Even with my sudden intervention, after all the twists and turns, the two of them still cannot escape the trajectory of destiny."

Little did he know that the explosion of the Ink Dragon's scrotum was entirely due to his own mistake. Without female contact, the scrotum wouldn't have burst, and the subsequent events wouldn't have occurred. Unfortunately, he threw it, causing the sphere to spin and eventually come into contact with Nangong Wan, leading to the explosion.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much and continued to head out of the Blue Stone Hall. After all, he didn't have a penchant for peeping and didn't want to stay here and suffer from the sounds.

  

Half an hour later, the two people in the underground space appeared one after the other. At this time, Nangong Wan's face was not only cold but also flushed; Han Li scratched his head awkwardly, then lightly touched the ground with his toes and jumped onto a big tree. His figure moved and leaped among the trees like an ape, and his speed was no less than that of flying with a weapon. He sped down the mountain.

Nangong Wan stood there, gazing at Han Li's departing figure, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes. She stood there quietly for a full quarter of an hour before finally leaving the Blue Stone Hall.

At this moment, Chu Zifei had already left the crater basin and was speeding towards the exit of the forbidden area agreed upon by the seven factions, completely unaware of what would happen next.

Meanwhile, the seven sect elders, who had been waiting outside the forbidden area for five days, finally made a move. The seven Core Formation elders once again used their magic treasures to open the entrance, then calmly waited for the first disciple to emerge from the dark passage.

At the other end of the passage, Chu Zifei, who was supposed to be at the exit, should have been the first to appear. However, being meticulous, he did not walk straight out. Instead, he hid in the dense ancient trees nearby, using the branches and leaves to conceal himself, quietly observing and deliberately avoiding the limelight.

He has always believed in the principle of making a fortune quietly, and the first person to go out would inevitably become the focus of the entire event, which is inconsistent with his intention to keep a low profile.

Half an hour later, a middle-aged Taoist priest, looking travel-worn and covered in blood, emerged first. His robes were stained with blood, and he appeared quite disheveled.

Next, many familiar faces appeared at the exit: the effeminate man from Huadaowu, the ugly Zhongwu from Lingshoushan, the blue-robed youth from Tianquebao, the Chen siblings from Huangfenggu, and other disciples, all bearing injuries to varying degrees, walked out of the passage one after another.

When Zhongwu appeared at the exit, a murderous glint flashed in Chu Zifei's eyes. He wanted to intercept him and kill him on the spot, but after weighing his options, he ultimately held back.

Chu Zifei only took action after Yan Wudi of the Giant Sword Sect stepped out of the passage.

He first removed his black mask and concealing cloak, then changed into the disciple's robes of Yellow Maple Valley, even changing his Cloud-Stepping Shoes. Only then did he leap down from the tree and follow Yan Wudi out of the forbidden area.

The two walked out of the passage one after the other. Yan Wudi stepped forward first and bowed to the Core Formation Ancestor of the Giant Sword Sect. Then he stepped aside and sat cross-legged. Although his attitude was respectful, he was arrogant in his bones.

Upon seeing this, the patriarch of the Giant Sword Sect smiled and nodded repeatedly.

After Chu Zifei walked out of the passage, he went straight to the area where Huangfeng Valley was located. After bowing respectfully to Master Li, he silently retreated to the back of the crowd.

When Grandmaster Li saw the young man before him, who was only at the eleventh level of Qi Refining and dressed in the attire of Huangfeng Valley, he was slightly surprised before he came to his senses. Clearly, he had not expected that someone who was at the bottom of the disciples would be able to walk out of the forbidden area alive.

Yan Wudi, who was not far away, caught sight of Chu Zifei, and his eyes suddenly lit up, filled not only with a sense of awareness but also with a strong fighting spirit.

His lips moved slightly, but he didn't say a word. You could tell from his lip movements that he meant, "Let's have another fight if we have the chance!"

Meanwhile, among the crowd at Spirit Beast Mountain, Zhong Wu was staring intently at him with a pair of sinister eyes, his hatred undisguised.

With only one hour remaining before the passage closed, the dim light flickered again, and a neatly dressed, ordinary-looking young man emerged. This man was none other than Han Li.

He arrived late because he was ambushed several times along the way. He killed several people before he managed to escape before the deadline.

After Han Li came out, he also retreated to the back of the crowd in Huangfeng Valley. He glanced at Chu Zifei in the corner and subconsciously thought of the mysterious man in black cloak in the forbidden area.

The two figures gradually overlapped, and he frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

As the time for the passage to close drew closer, the entrance to the passage moved again, and finally a disciple dressed in the robes of the Hidden Moon Sect appeared.

When Qiong Laoguai and Ni Chang Xianzi saw that only one person from the Yanyue Sect had walked out of the forbidden area, their expressions instantly turned ugly. They could no longer sit still and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

When the two recognized the figure as Nangong Wan, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions softened slightly. For the Hidden Moon Sect, all the disciples who entered the forbidden area this time combined were no match for Nangong Wan.
