From Xiao Diandian's words, it was clear she knew she would die, and that death was certain.

　　That's why she was so surprised to be alive.

　　But with Lin Qian's intelligence, she obviously couldn't understand this implication; she just felt very proud.

　　"Of course! Reverend Chen saved you. I brought Reverend Chen here!"

　　She said smugly, not blaming Xiao Diandian for what happened before.

　　On the contrary, these words even seemed to be asking for credit.

　　Xiao Diandian's emotions were much calmer than before. She smiled at Lin Qian and said, "I was in a bad mood just now, don't take it to heart."

　　"Hmph."

　　Lin Qian pouted and snorted, looking angry, then muttered in a low voice, "Fine, I forgive you, it's just because I'm a nice person!"

　　However, after Xiao Diandian said that, she didn't look at Lin Qian again, obviously, whether Lin Qian forgave her or not was not important to her.

　　She was sizing up Chen Xiao. After a moment, she said, "Thank you, Reverend Chen, for saving my life. May I be so bold as to ask, just who is Reverend Chen?"

　　Xiao Diandian's words were full of hostility, and even someone as mindless as Lin Qian could sense something was wrong.

　　"Xiao Diandian, be more respectful to Reverend Chen. He just saved your life, and Reverend Chen's identity is extraordinary. You'd better not inquire too much."

　　Lin Qian said mysteriously.

　　"Oh? How extraordinary?"

　　Xiao Diandian looked at Chen Xiao with a playful expression, then turned her sharp gaze to Lin Qian.

　　"Forget it, I'll tell you, but don't be afraid!"

　　Lin Qian leaned close to Xiao Diandian's ear and whispered, "Reverend Chen is actually a fierce ghost. The reason he's helping us this time is because he also has a grudge against Yuquan Palace. Do you remember that abandoned room in the guest room department on the third floor? It's rumored to be haunted, and the ghost is actually Reverend Chen!"

　　Lin Qian's voice was very soft, but she didn't try to hide it from Chen Xiao. When Chen Xiao heard this, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, a muscle spasm caused by holding back laughter.

　　Xiao Diandian looked at Lin Qian as if she were an idiot, while Lin Qian looked very serious, making her look even more like a little idiot.

　　"Reverend Chen is not a fierce ghost, don't talk nonsense."

　　Xiao Diandian glared at Lin Qian.

　　"How do you know?"

　　"I just know!"

　　"Hmph, Reverend Chen, tell us yourself, are you a fierce ghost or not?"

　　"I never said I was a fierce ghost; that was just your speculation."

　　After this exchange, Lin Qian was completely dumbfounded, her eyes staring blankly. Social death... Well, she now wished she could dig out a two-bedroom apartment in the ground with her toes, then crawl in and never come out again.

　　Chen Xiao and Xiao Diandian didn't pay too much attention to Lin Qian, who had gone from social death to pretending to be dead. While Xiao Diandian was sizing up Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao was also sizing up Xiao Diandian.

　　A cultivator at the peak of the Entering Dao stage, although not considered an expert in Chen Xiao's eyes, was already a top existence in the secular world.

　　Why would such a person be imprisoned here, and also be carrying a deadly poison? What exactly was her plan?

　　Chen Xiao suddenly became interested in this woman.

　　"Speak, who exactly are you? What is your purpose in disrupting my plan?"

　　Xiao Diandian's eyes gradually became gloomy, and her tone turned cold.

　　"You're questioning me?"

　　Chen Xiao revealed a disdainful smile. A mere peak Entering Dao stage cultivator was no different from an ordinary person in his eyes. He could slap a hundred of them to death without exaggeration!

　　He just released a little bit of his aura, and Xiao Diandian was already having trouble breathing.

　　"You, who exactly are you?"

　　Xiao Diandian frowned, looking like she was about to collapse.

　　She realized that she couldn't see through her opponent's cultivation realm at all, which meant that the other party was at least a Golden Core stage cultivator, or even higher...

　　And if it was higher, it meant that the other party was not a person from the secular world.

　　Xiao Diandian was obviously flustered, and fear appeared in her eyes.

　　"I ask, you answer."

　　Chen Xiao said calmly, his tone without a ripple, but as unyielding as a law.

　　"Who are you? What sect do you come from? What exactly are you planning?"

　　Chen Xiao asked.

　　Lin Qian, who was on the side, had recovered from her social death, and then she realized that she couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the two at all.

　　Xiao Diandian originally tried to resist Chen Xiao's pressure, but after Chen Xiao increased the pressure a little more, she completely gave up resisting.

　　"My Daoist name is Dianlian, and I am a Daoist nun from Lotus Temple on Mount Lüwu."

　　In fact, Chen Xiao had already guessed that she was a Daoist nun from the Lotus Temple. Dianlian, stage name Xiao Diandian, well, that made sense.

　　And Lin Qian's expression was even more sluggish, like she was dumbfounded.

　　What? Xiao Diandian is a Daoist nun? Then her technique...

　　"I came down the mountain this time under the orders of my master to assassinate a Blood Sect heretic!"

　　"Blood Sect heretic? What's that?"

　　Hearing Chen Xiao's question, Dianlian was slightly stunned: "You don't know about the Blood Sect heretic?"

　　Chen Xiao shook his head, and Dianlian explained: "The Blood Sect is the outer sect of the Heavenly Blood Sect, just like the Lotus Temple is the outer sect of the Heavenly Lotus Sect."

　　What Heavenly Blood Sect, Heavenly Lotus Sect, Lin Qian looked confused, feeling that her brain was not working.

　　What are you two doing so seriously? Are you acting? Why didn't I get the script?

　　But Chen Xiao guessed that the Heavenly Blood Sect and the Heavenly Lotus Sect were both hidden sects in the Immortal Hidden Realm.

　　"What is the relationship between the Blood Sect and Yuquan Palace? What about the women in the dungeon?"

　　Chen Xiao continued to ask.

　　"The boss of Yuquan Palace, Shi Kai, is the current Sect Master of the Blood Sect. The Blood Sect's cultivation method relies on refining fresh blood to absorb energy, so the women imprisoned in the dungeon are all blood slaves raised by Shi Kai!"

　　Dianlian said concisely.

　　"You went undercover in Yuquan Palace, risking your life to be captured in the dungeon, just to find out about this?"

　　Chen Xiao asked.

　　Dianlian shook her head: "No, the Lotus Temple already knew these secrets."

　　"Then what are you doing here?"

　　Chen Xiao asked and suddenly thought of something, "I know, the poison you carry, you took it yourself, right?"

　　Dianlian nodded: "That's right, this way, as long as the people from the Blood Sect use my blood to cultivate, they will also be poisoned!"

　　Dianlian originally wanted to boast that this was the Lotus Temple's unique secret poison, with no antidote... But the poison in her body was cured by this expert, with almost no effort.

　　"Originally, I would have died from the poison within three days, but because of Lin Qian, I was so angered that the poison attacked my heart, so the poison broke out early and almost killed me."

　　Dianlian explained.

　　Lin Qian's small mouth was wide open, almost able to swallow an egg. So it turned out that she almost killed Xiao Diandian, no, Dianlian Daogu.

　　"Let's go!"

　　Dianlian urged, "The blood slaves in the dungeon have been rescued, Shi Kai will definitely get the news soon. Once he arrives with the Blood Sect disciples, it will be too late for us to leave."

　　In her opinion, although Chen Xiao was very strong, Shi Kai was also not weak. Moreover, there were many Blood Sect disciples. No matter how powerful Chen Xiao was, he couldn't withstand a pack of wolves.

　　Therefore, in the current situation, it was best to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

　　Dianlian got up to leave, but Chen Xiao grabbed her: "No, you're still hiding something from me!"

　　"Hmm?"

　　Dianlian's expression changed slightly, and she froze.

　　"When you blamed Lin Qian for saving you just now, you said something about failing at the last moment. You've been captured for so long, if you simply rely on blood to transmit the poison, your purpose should have been achieved long ago, right?"

　　Chen Xiao analyzed reasonably.

　　Dianlian smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, you are an expert, it's okay to tell you. The batch of women you saw in the dungeon just now were not simply blood slaves. Within three days, we will be sacrificed, that is my real purpose."

　　"Sacrifice? By the people of the Heavenly Blood Sect?"

　　Chen Xiao asked tentatively.

　　Dianlian nodded: "According to the news from the Heavenly Lotus Sect, Ximen Qiufeng, the young master of the Heavenly Blood Sect, wants to break through to the Divine Sea Realm in the near future. For this reason, the Blood Sect will prepare a hundred women to be sacrificed on the day of his breakthrough."

　　Hearing this, Chen Xiao understood everything. This woman named Dianlian used her body to cultivate poison, a suicide attack on the young master of the Heavenly Blood Sect.

　　"Alas, the original plan was perfect, but unfortunately, fate played tricks, and it fell short."

　　Dianlian sighed helplessly, "I am now preparing to return to my sect to report. You two should also leave quickly, if Shi Kai arrives in a while, things will be bad!"

　　In fact, Dianlian still had a faint worry, that was, she was worried that Ximen Qiufeng, the young master of the Heavenly Blood Sect, would personally come to the secular world to sacrifice women and break through.

　　However, the probability of this was not very high. After all, hidden sects only had one chance to leave the Immortal Hidden Realm each year.

　　But there were no restrictions on the outer sect disciples staying in the secular world to enter the Immortal Hidden Realm.

　　So it should be the Blood Sect escorting those hundred women to the Heavenly Blood Sect.

　　Lin Qian didn't quite understand the conversation between the two, her whole person was like falling into a cloud.

　　But one thing she was very clear about was that the crisis had not been resolved.

　　Moreover, it had become even more dangerous.

　　At the thought of Boss Shi's sinister face, she couldn't help but shudder.

　　"Reverend Chen, let's listen to Xiao Diandian and leave here quickly, I, I'm scared."

　　Lin Qian requested timidly.

　　Chen Xiao smiled slightly: "It's too late to leave here now."

　　"Hmm?"

　　Lin Qian was stunned, "Reverend Chen, what do you mean by that?"

　　"They've arrived, they're outside."

　　As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, Dianlian suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps.

　　Immediately afterwards, with a bang, a sinister-looking middle-aged man kicked open the door and broke in.

　　"Boss, Boss Shi..."

　　Lin Qian was immediately frightened pale.

　　Faced with the situation, Dianlian revealed a fearless expression: "Reverend Chen, take Lin Qian and leave here, I will do my best to stop the people from the Blood Sect for you!"
