A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Sha: That’s right, Sister Jeanne, you have a really good memory.

Joan of Arc: Hmm? You're willing to call me sister.

Sha: Of course, even though it's still this tall after five years, I know you've always been my sister, Jeanne. I just thought it was funny and made fun of you before. I'm really sorry.

Joan of Arc: ...

Han Buli: What's going on? Why did you call my sister? Xiaosha can't be the boss. (Scared)

Xiao Huohuo: Damn, don’t do that kind of thing!

Sha: I still remember that I seemed to have used mind reading on you.

KP: As if recalling the original scene, Sha showed a nostalgic smile, and his bright blue eyes looked at you again.

Sha: As expected, even with the same person and the same mind-reading skills, different people see different things at different ages. Take Huo Huo, for example. I initially thought you were courageous and cautious, but now I can see a sense of helplessness and confusion within you. As for Bu Li, I initially thought you were timid and forbearing, but now I see you as someone deeply loyal and righteous. Once you've committed to someone, you'll never let them go. And Jeanne, I initially thought you were a chivalrous person filled with justice, but now it seems you're simply following your heart, your actions simply fitting into the world's understanding of justice.

Xiao Huohuo: ...I've been criticized again. (Sad)

Han Buli: Damn it, that bastard KP has patched me again!

Joan of Arc: Is my character similar to that of a certain hedgehog-haired guy?

KP: After giving you three a sharp review, Sha turned to Romeo with a complicated expression.

Sha: Only you, only you, Romeo... I couldn't see through you before, and I still can't see through you now.

Romeo: Hehe, since you can’t see through it, then why not just not see through it? Isn’t this also a kind of seeing through it?

Xiao Huohuo: Byd is quite philosophical. (Pinching nose)

KP: Indeed, Romeo's philosophical speech made Sha Wei stunned for a moment, and a hint of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.

Sand: I see. Being too persistent will only lead to losing yourself... Romeo, you are really interesting.

Romeo: Hehe.

KP: At this point, Sha sighed with some regret.

Sha: It’s just a pity that in the end, I couldn’t see through your “disguise”, Romeo. This time, I broke my promise.

Xiao Huohuo: No, how can it be the last time... Xiasha, why do you say this as if we are going to be separated forever?

KP: Upon hearing this, Sha showed a somewhat sad smile.

Sha: Brother Huohuo, you are right. This time, I am indeed here to say goodbye to you.

Xiao Huohuo:Ah?

Han Buli: Farewell... (Sad)

Joan of Arc: Say goodbye? Why say goodbye? Is Zhao Wuji or someone else causing you trouble? Xiaosha, don't be afraid. Speak up bravely and we can find a solution together.

KP: Sandy shook his head.

Sha: No, it's too late. When I arrived, the Imperial Master...was already waiting outside the door.

Xiao Huohuo: What the hell?!

Han Buli: Thump, thump, thump. (Cardiopulmonary arrest)

Romeo: Oh, I'm dead. It's all your fault. Please.

Joan of Arc: No, why do you know so much, Xiaosha? It's almost as if... as if you were acting together with Zhao Wuji.

KP: Sha nodded, then shook his head, as if trying to figure out how to explain it.

Sha: Actually, I don't know... My mind-reading ability originally had no effect on the Imperial Master, but since the middle of last month, I've suddenly been able to peer into his heart. I've seen many of his terrifying thoughts and know he wants to use my mind-reading abilities for his own benefit. And just this morning, when I encountered him in the palace, I actually "saw" that he was planning to attack you, because you'd lost your usefulness... With no other options, I confessed my mind-reading secret to the Imperial Master and asked him to give me a moment to say goodbye to you before he took action. In exchange, I'll be his "eyes."

Xiao Huohuo: In the middle of last month... Damn, could it be that the pill I refined worked?

Han Buli: Yes, it is.

Romeo: Little Sister Sha has sold herself... (Sad)

Joan of Arc: How foolish!

KP: At this moment, you suddenly felt a cold spiritual sense locking onto you from all directions. The warning was very clear - now that you know, there's no way you can escape.

Xiao Huohuo: ...It’s over.

Joan of Arc: Is it too late for us to commit suicide now?

KP: It's too late. With the previous experience as a lesson, Zhao Wuji's spiritual sense has completely locked onto you this time. Once you make any unusual movements, the level suppression will crush you in an instant.

Jeanne: Damn, isn't that a dead end?!

Xiao Huohuo: No, KP said there's more to it. Zhao Wuji thinks we're no longer useful, but that's not necessarily the case! ...Here, I, Xiao Huohuo, will have to rely on my rhetoric!

Han Buli: And mine!

KP: It’s a pity that we can’t use your best brains this time.

Xiao Huohuo:?

KP: Sand spoke up.

Sha: I remember you, Brother Huohuo, saying that you weren't from Tianmu City, and even if you died, you would only return to your original world, right? I've also seen similar information in the thoughts of the Imperial Master.

Xiao Huohuo: That’s true, but why are you saying this suddenly?

KP: So, just when you were confused by Sha's words, a severe cramp suddenly came from your abdomen. Your face changed instantly, and you curled up on the ground unconsciously, sweating all over. Your hands and feet quickly became numb and cold. It was obvious that you were poisoned by some kind of deadly poison!

Xiao Huohuo: What the hell?!

Han Buli: Is it Zhao Wuji? No... it's Sha!

Romeo: There's poison in the tea...

Joan of Arc: Xiaosha...you will anger Zhao Wuji by doing this!

KP: Seeing your agonizing expressions as you neared death, Sha finally lost control of her emotions, tears streaming down her face. Although she had done her best, she still felt immense pain and remorse for her actions.

Sha: I’m sorry, this is the only solution I can think of. I’m sorry…

KP: Before he finished speaking, Zhao Wuji's roar came from outside the door. The next second, the roof of the room was blown off. Zhao Wuji, realizing that he had been tricked, rushed in, but only saw a white halo rapidly emerging around the four of you.

KP: The next second, the sounds of angry roars, the young girl's cries, and the howling of wind and rain, all pierced your ears and intertwined together, like a rapidly spinning vortex, engulfing your consciousness and falling into the endless white light.

KP: At the end of his consciousness, you seemed to hear Sha crying out with all his might.

"This time, absolutely, absolutely don't come back!"

……

……

……

"Sorry, can't do that."

Chapter 172 Is She More Important Than Me? (The Sand of Time, Part 20)

KP: Countless white lights flashed before your eyes, and the feeling of falling swept over your whole body. After an unknown amount of time, you finally regained consciousness, opened your eyes, and found yourself back in the sunless ruins. The poison on your body, the linen clothes, and everything that belonged to Tianmu City had all disappeared.

hum.

KP: With a slight sound, the hourglass named [Tracing Light Tribulation] appeared beside you. At this time, only the last one-third of the fine sand on the upper layer remained.

Xiao Huohuo: ...

Han Buli: ...

Romeo: ...

Joan of Arc: ...

KP: (pinching nose) What are you all standing there for? Say your lines.

Joan of Arc: ...Let me calm down first.

Xiao Huohuo: It’s hard to comment. We obviously used the eyebrow pencil ourselves, but Xiaosha had to bear all the consequences... If we can’t save it in the end, I’m afraid I’ll wake up in the middle of the night and slap myself.

Joan of Arc: Indeed, Xiaosha, a mortal, rescued the four of us from the death trap set by Zhao Wuji. I will repay this kindness even if I die!

Han Buli: Alas... I still have to thank Xiaosha for her kindness.

Jeanne: Shut up! Without you, this huge failure wouldn't be like this? (Pointing)

Han Buli: Tsk, I take the blame... So, I have to start taking it seriously.

Xiao Huohuo: Old Han, you're on fire.

Han Buli: A little bit drunk, but not a big deal. (Serious face)

KP: Good, very energetic!

Romeo: So Xiaosha is really Himeji Mizuki, right?

Xiao Huohuo:?

Han Buli: Damn! Byd Lao Luo, can't you read the atmosphere?! Don't use memes at a time like this!

Joan of Arc: Romeo, you have no heart!

Romeo: Hey~?

KP: …

Han Buli: (takes a deep breath) Anyway, the next task is for us to use our last chance to go back to Tianmu City and rescue Xiaosha who has fallen into the hands of the national teacher, right?

KP: Yes.

Han Buli: Also, if I remember correctly, we should be back to the area where we first retraced our steps, right?

KP: Yes, you looked around and found that this was the place where you first went back through the familiar corridor. But the difference was that the dome temple was gone, replaced by an abandoned house without a ceiling. There were no bronze statues and symbols in the house.

Xiao Huohuo: Will Tianmu City move towards a different future depending on our actions?

KP: You can understand it that way.

Han Buli: This area originally led to the outside of the ruins. Is it still accessible now?

KP: You guys are so lucky.

Xiao Huohuo: ...I have to be lucky again.

Han Buli: Don't panic, I'll do it. I don't believe that the dice girl will give me two big failures in a row.

Han Buli: Lucky, 17/70, successful.

Xiao Huohuo:6.

Joan of Arc: Are you trying to make amends by not establishing him? (Pinching nose)

Han Buli: We will win.

KP: Yes. You've successfully found the path you came from within the ruins, and you can now temporarily head outside.

Han Buli: KP, whether we trace back earlier or later, it shouldn't affect the time node after the traceback, right?

KP: Within the same day, the time node after backtracking is fixed, but if the time is longer, it depends on your luck.

Han Buli: A little bit of luck means...

KP: Lucky to pass the difficult level within two days, Lucky to pass the extremely difficult level within three days, Great success within four days, and Pass directly within five days.

Xiao Huohuo: The bastard KP isn't even willing to give us a normal success. (Half annoyed)

Han Buli: Honestly, judging from the two previous flashbacks, real time and the time in Tianmu City are completely unrelated, so why limit the flashback time? (Pointing)

KP: There is no time limit. You can wait until you have established your foundation before coming back, right?

Xiao Huohuo: Not impossible. (Laughs)

KP: No! (half annoyed)

Han Buli: KP, if we go back to Chengtian Sect, how many days will it take?

KP: The journey there and back takes a full day, plus the time spent in the sect, so it should be counted as three days.

Xiao Huohuo: Three days, extremely unlucky... Old Han, will you win?

Joan of Arc: Goodbye, that difficult luck just now has been used up. (Pinching nose)

Han Buli: ...It's so uncomfortable. I was thinking of going back to Chengtian Sect and making good preparations to give Zhao Wuji a big blow, but now I'm afraid I will have to suffer a big blow first.
