I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

Of course, whether this lineage exists is merely a baseless speculation among the disciples of the sect, and the actual possibility is extremely slim.

Not everything found in a secret realm possesses a legacy.

At least in the initial explorations, these sects had already dispatched countless high-ranking members to search for them.

Only after all else failed did it become a training ground for disciples.

Otherwise, those who enter would be far more numerous than just a few personal disciples and inner disciples.

Who wouldn't be tempted by the inheritance of an ancient power?

"This sword puppet... based on my observation, is far superior to other sword puppets. Its outstanding combat power is one issue, but what's even more outrageous is that it has the ability to learn the behavior of others."

"I suspect it's very likely some kind of higher-level guardian. You guys be careful, don't get caught off guard."

"However, if we can seize it, we might be able to gain something more, perhaps even something related to the undiscovered heritage within the Sword Tomb!"

The group caused quite a commotion during their pursuit.

This is also thanks to the vastness of the secret realm.

Otherwise, such a violent commotion would have attracted the attention of the sect's disciples or some demonic beasts long ago.

Even so, the dozen or so people began to feel increasingly anxious.

They don't think their luck will stay this good.

They might stumble into dangerous territory or encounter an invincible opponent at any time.

Of course, part of my inner irritation was also caused by that sword puppet.

If they hadn't been able to see that the black robe was actually made of a puppet, they would have thought that someone was hiding inside the black robe, playing tricks on them.

However, they continued pursuing it for a while.

The group of more than ten people suddenly found themselves facing a dead end, with a smooth cliff face completely blocking their path.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators breathed a long sigh of relief.

"So you've finally reached a dead end? Now there's no escaping you, hehe~ Let's see what you can do now?"

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so cultivators also revealed a cold smile, intending to echo it.

But the smile had barely formed on someone's face when one of them suddenly froze, realizing that something was wrong.

It's so quiet!

It was so quiet the whole way.

It didn't feel like a secret realm at all; it felt like being in your own backyard.

He then came to his senses and subconsciously turned his head to look around.

The next second, he saw three figures, also dressed in black robes, appear behind him.

The way they were being looked at was like the way they were eyeing delicious prey.

Before they could react, three sword puppets appeared in the blink of an eye and pounced directly at them.

With the combined power of the four sword puppets, the cultivators were no match for them. In less than a few breaths, they lost their fighting ability and were knocked unconscious on the ground.

Before they passed out, they were still in a daze, completely unable to understand what was going on.

Strangely, these puppets did not take the lives of these cultivators like the ones on the periphery.

Then, an even stranger scene unfolded: after defeating their opponent, the four puppets sat down together on the ground.

The puppet that had been chased earlier threw all the stolen storage bags on the ground.

The four puppets skillfully turned them upside down, scattering all the contents inside onto the ground.

Then, in turn, they took turns collecting the shining sword puppet cores from the ground.

The one responsible for stealing and luring was clearly the one that put in the most effort and was also the most dangerous, as it received four cores.

It roughly stuffed the cores into its body one by one.

Each time he inserted a core into his body, a dazzling light would flash by.

A moment later, the golden luster in the very center became even more pronounced.

……

Half an hour later.

"Hey, hey, hey, meal ticket, can we find Sister Wanyu by following my intuition? Is it really that magical? Why are you saying the same thing as the Lord of the Manor? I feel like we're definitely going to run into some bad luck."

A faint smile appeared on Liu Xiyao's lips, like a ripple that quickly swept across her face and disappeared into the depths of her eyes.

She showed no signs of fatigue and kept chattering away.

In contrast, Gu Qici was eerily quiet, barely uttering a single word the entire way, her eyes closed, seemingly practicing some special technique.

suddenly.

Liu Xiyao paused in her steps, tiptoed, and sniffed the air several times.

Instantly, she flashed a bright smile, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks.

"There's something delicious on the right, follow me!"

Without waiting for Huang Quan to react, she skipped and hopped over there.

With Liu Xiyao running at full speed, she arrived at the target point in just a few breaths.

More than ten men and women had fainted.

A gentle breeze swept by, lightly stirring up the scattered spirit fruits and spirit stones on the ground...

A faint, pleasant fragrance permeated the air, and Liu Xiyao greedily inhaled it several times.

Liu Xiyao:? ? ?

What's happening here?

Is there such a good thing?

She picked up a magical artifact that resembled a tree branch from the ground and poked it into the face of the unconscious cultivator on the ground.

"Wake up?"

One person did not respond.

The two of them still did not react.

Until the ninth person.

The person seemed to have been stimulated by an external force, slightly opening their eyelids. Their consciousness was blurred, and before they could see everything around them clearly, they fell back into a deep sleep.

"It seems these people won't be waking up anytime soon."

Liu Xiyao withdrew her fist and took out a storage bag from her bosom.

She swept away everything of value on the ground with the speed of a whirlwind, like a bandit entering a village.

The smile on her face was so radiant it defied description.

However, there is a saying: "Extreme joy begets sorrow."

"Tear..."

A barely perceptible, soft sound.

But it was as heavy as a mountain that crushed Liu Xiyao's psychological defenses.

"Bang! Clang!"

Various spirit stones and fruits were scattered on the ground, colliding with each other and making crisp sounds.

Some people laugh and then start crying.

A fourteen-year-old girl who has just come of age can break down in an instant.

The flimsy storage bag clearly couldn't withstand her rough handling.

The items on the ground were only one-tenth full.

It immediately burst her storage bag.

One second, two seconds...

The girl sat quietly on the ground in a W-shape.

She neither cried out nor made a fuss.

His pale face and gloomy, empty eyes stared blankly at everything on the ground.

"Ding~"

A ring struck a spirit stone on the ground.

It bounced high into the air, landing in front of Liu Xiyao and spinning and tumbling continuously.

Her lifeless eyes instantly regained their luster.

Liu Xiyao recognized this thing.

A storage ring that seems to be able to hold any number of items!

She had long wanted to steal... "borrow" one from the underworld!

"Meal tickets, meal tickets, are you borrowing these from me? You really know me so well! I'll give you a... half of these when we get back! Anyway, they're all unconscious, and there's nothing on the ground, so let me collect them to prevent them from falling into the hands of thieves!"

As she spoke, she punched the cultivator who was trying to get up, knocking him unconscious.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

She spared no expense to borrow the storage ring!

Huang Quan shook his head, revealing a helpless bitter smile: "No need, just consider it a gift from me, it's nothing 'valuable' anyway."

That money-grubbing look of his... really.

"Oh yeah! If I didn't have a promise to keep, I would have really given myself to him."

Is this the source of his confidence in speaking out about meal tickets?

She's definitely different from ordinary people!
