Chapter 33: I am the one you should really fear!

Chu Zhi had just entered the sect; for some reason, she was selected for this trial; her low cultivation level made her easier to control.

The insects disgusted her; she trembled and wanted to beg for mercy or curse.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, more insects flew into her mouth.

Those who were mumbling were examples; they were sticking out their tongues to spit out insects.

Chu Zhi could only glare fiercely at these arrogant people.

Lu Qingyan looked at the Golden Core cultivators.

She pulled Yang Fei. “Let’s stop; they look like they’re about to suffocate.”

Yang Fei then recalled the insects, which gathered into a shadow.

They returned from various parts of their bodies and disappeared without a trace.

The dozen or so Golden Core cultivators were still immobile, as docile as quails, breathing heavily.

Song Yishi estimated the time. “The immobilization talismans will wear off soon.”

Duan Huailin walked over, holding various things.

“Don’t worry.”

He approached them, measuring the positions around them and sprinkling something.

The Golden Core cultivators could speak again, although a little slurred; tears streamed down their faces.

“Little friend… what are you doing again? Give Golden Core cultivators some face, okay?”

Duan Huailin ignored them; after completing the formation, he clapped his hands, his gaze calm.

“Just a small formation to restrain movement.”

The cultivators cried. “…Woo woo woo, there shouldn’t be any aftereffects like crying, right?”

Duan Huailin smiled modestly. “…My skills are lacking; if you like, I can learn and add it.”

The cultivators tearfully shook their heads. “…No need, thank you, woo woo woo!”

After the immobilization talismans wore off, the formation took effect.

They were firmly trapped in the formation again.

Ning Yue walked forward with a clear smile, passing through the formation and looking directly at Chu Zhi.

Xiaohua stood on Ning Yue’s shoulder, looking at Chu Zhi with displeasure.

Ning Yue reached out to Chu Zhi. “Give it to me.”

Chu Zhi pretended to be calm, looking at Ning Yue vigilantly and fearfully. “Give you what?”

Ning Yue chuckled. “Are you suffering from senility at such a young age?

You injured me and took the Green Lotus; isn’t it on you?”

Chu Zhi looked at the girl who was shorter than her.

The frustration of being constantly suppressed and the jealousy of so many people protecting Ning Yue surged up.

She glared at Ning Yue and said spitefully.

“So what if the Green Lotus is on me? I took it myself; but you…”

“You’re just arrogant because of your senior brothers and sisters.

You didn’t get the Green Lotus yourself; if you’re capable, take it from me yourself!”

Ning Yue paused, then smiled even brighter.

It seemed she hadn’t seen her ice-melting technique.

She didn’t know whether to call her clever or foolish.

She knew how to seize the opportunity to grab the Green Lotus but didn’t plan for the aftermath.

“I don’t know whether to call you arrogant or ignorant…” Ning Yue said lazily.

“Those Golden Core late-stage cultivators you rely on are just a bunch of weaklings; my senior brothers and sisters easily defeated them.

And I, who you say is arrogant because of my senior brothers and sisters”

Ning Yue slowly condensed a fireball in her hand; under Chu Zhi’s terrified gaze, the fireball grew larger.

“Am the one you should truly fear.”

The scorching fireball approached Chu Zhi very closely.

Chu Zhi began to sweat; it wasn’t from heat but fear.

The senior brothers and sisters stopped their actions and began to watch Junior Sister.

To scare Chu Zhi, Ning Yue’s fireball was even more powerful than the one she used to melt the ice.

The bright light illuminated the entire cave!

Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes; it was too bright to look at!!!

Chu Zhi breathed rapidly; her fingers tightly twisted her clothes; she tried her best to keep her eyes open.

“How… how is this possible! Aren’t you the same as me? You only entered the sect this year; how… how can your strength be so terrifying!”

Ning Yue supported Chu Zhi, whose body was about to collapse.

“Little sister, your information is outdated; haven’t you heard that a powerful disciple came to Fusang Sect this year?”

Chu Zhi opened her mouth, dumbfounded, unable to speak.

She knew, of course, but Fusang Sect had intentionally been vague, not giving details.

They only knew she was powerful, but not how powerful.

She thought Fusang Sect had exaggerated, and such a precious disciple should be protected.

Why was she sent to the secret realm? And she just happened to offend her!

Ning Yue reacted.

“Oops, Master told me to hide my abilities; what should I do? I’ve exposed myself; I should just kill her…”

Chu Zhi didn’t doubt that with the power of that flame, she would be burned to ashes in less than a second!

“No, no!! You can’t kill me; I’m very useful to the Hell Sect; if you kill me, the Hell Sect will use every means to kill you!”

Ning Yue looked at Chu Zhi calmly.

She hadn’t planned to do anything to Chu Zhi; she had only condensed such a powerful fireball to scare her.

“What’s so useful? Tell me something to make me happy, and I’ll spare your life.”

Chu Zhi widened her eyes and opened her mouth

The next moment, she violently covered her throat and coughed!

Blood came out of her mouth; it seemed to be unstoppable.

Chu Zhi tightly covered her throat; she looked like she was about to suffocate.

Ning Yue frowned. What’s going on?

Song Yishi’s voice came from behind. “…The Concealment Curse?”

Ning Yue turned her head and asked. “What’s wrong with her, Senior Sister?”

Song Yishi’s usual listless expression finally showed some energy; she looked at Chu Zhi and infused her with some spiritual energy.

“She’s been cursed with the Concealment Curse; she can’t say certain things; if she does, she’ll suffocate to death.”

Ning Yue clicked her tongue in wonder. “What a vicious curse.”

“…Mm, it’s a forbidden technique; it’s explicitly forbidden to use it on people.”

Song Yishi lowered her head. “I saw it in Master’s library.”

“The Hell Sect must have prepared something shady.” Yang Fei frowned, his expression disgusted.

Ning Yue didn’t ask further.

She looked at Chu Zhi regretfully. “Hand over the Green Lotus, and I’ll let you go.”

Chu Zhi’s expression showed a desperate determination.

“The Green Lotus is important to you, right? I heard you have to take it immediately to prevent accidents.”

Her eyes gleamed with a vengeful pleasure.

“I’d rather be burned to ashes than let you take the Green Lotus from me!”

Ning Yue sighed and extinguished the fireball in her hand.

“You don’t want a dignified death; you want me to search you, right?”

Ning Yue turned and called. “Senior brothers and sisters, please throw those Golden Core uncles out.

I’ll have a private chat with Miss Chu Zhi.”

They naturally agreed; they weren’t worried that Chu Zhi would harm Ning Yue.

It’s ridiculous; who would think she’s weak after seeing her terrifying strength!

They took the weak uncles out of the cave.

As soon as they were exposed to the sunlight, the Golden Core cultivators agitated, seemingly wanting to make some noise.

Shi Yinghan looked ahead; his sword was half-drawn; it gleamed in the sunlight; a sharp wind blew

The Golden Core cultivators felt a chill beneath them; when they looked down, they found themselves almost naked!

Only a few strips of cloth barely covered their modesty.

“Aaaaaah!”

“What’s going on!! Where are our clothes?! Where are our clothes?!”

Shi Yinghan sheathed his sword and looked at them.

“Remember my face; run away when you see me.”
