The villain's pet apprentice sister is not to be trifled with

Si Qingyu and Ying Tianxing saw nothing, but heard many, many voices.

There were grins, curses, the sound of cloth being torn, and the dull thud of being hit on the skin.

Mu Tao's voice changed from heart-wrenching crying and cursing, to soft sobbing, and finally to silence.

Si Qingyu gasped. The light in front of her and Ying Tianxing's eyes kept getting dimmer and dimmer until it was completely dark.

When they saw the light again, both the brother and sister looked very unhappy.

The girl, who was originally as beautiful as a peach blossom, had been tortured to the point of being covered in wounds. Her pastel-colored dress had been torn to shreds, her hair was disheveled and dry, and her hands and feet were shackled.

She ran forward quickly, looking very frightened, and occasionally looked back to see if anyone was catching up with her.

She had just run across the border between the spirit and demon areas when she met four male cultivators.

She knelt in front of the male cultivators and begged, "Please save me, fellow Taoists. I was captured by the demons and taken to the Demon Realm. I was tortured day and night and only escaped after going through untold hardships."

After saying this, Mu Tao's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

One of them wanted to go forward to help, but his companion stopped him and said, "Brother Lu, wait, this woman's origins are unknown, and this place is the border between spirits and demons, be careful of fraud."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator surnamed Lu glanced at Mu Tao and said, "Brother Leng, that makes sense! Fortunately you reminded me. So what should we do now?"

The four people thought for a moment, and one of them said, "Among us, Brother Qianqian is the oldest. What does Brother Qian think?"

The cultivator surnamed Qian said, "Brother He, you are good at setting up formations. Please make a defensive formation for us first, and then we can interrogate this girl."

So, the cultivator surnamed He flew his hands and made hand gestures to set up a trap in front of Mu Tao, and also set up a protective barrier for the four of them, and then he was busy.

……

Ying Tianxing said, "Qian, Leng, Lu, He... Junior Sister, this... this could be the ancestors of several noble families, right?"

Si Qingyu looked them up and down, "They don't look like they have high cultivation bases, and the formations set up by this He are all very basic, not some high-level formations.

Moreover, they were not wearing the same color disciple uniforms, nor did they have any family logos, so it seemed that they were just independent cultivators traveling together."

After Si Qingyu finished speaking, the two brothers and sisters fell into a brief silence.

A thousand years later, among the eight great families, the Qian family and the Lu family still have a place. A hundred years ago, the Leng family had lost its talents. Although the He family was in decline, it was still well-known among the aristocratic families.

He Huaishu of Dingkun Sect is from the He family.

Today, these people do not seem to have any outstanding qualities, but they have all made a name for themselves in the world of cultivation and have become the heads of certain families by relying on their family's unique skills.

Si Qingyu had a bad guess, fearing that this matter was related to Mu Tao.

……

The cultivator named Qian stepped forward, put his sword against Mu Tao's neck, and asked, "Tell me, why are you here? Since the demon cultivator has imprisoned you, how can he let you go so easily?"

Just as Mu Tao was about to speak, a demon appeared.

Several demon cultivators crossed the boundary between spirits and demons and rushed towards her.

Mu Tao immediately said in an urgent tone, "I have an extremely yin constitution. They want to use me as a furnace and practice dual cultivation with me to improve my cultivation. I beg fellow Taoists to rescue me, I beg fellow Taoists to rescue me!"

Mu Tao lay on the ground, her body trembling. Her spiritual veins were sealed and she could no longer resist. She could only place her hope on these spiritual practitioners.

Fortunately, these spiritual practitioners took action, fought with the evil cultivator, seriously injured him, and rescued her.

However, they were all seriously injured.

They took Mu Tao and walked into the spiritual realm, wanting to seek medical treatment from the Renxin Sect.

Along the way, they mistakenly entered a small secret realm, were trapped inside, attacked by monsters, and their injuries worsened as they fought with other cultivators for magic weapons.

The cultivator with the surname He was the most seriously injured. He sensed that the golden elixir he had just formed had cracks. Even though his companions comforted and encouraged him along the way, and Mu Tao apologized to him, he was still very depressed.

The man surnamed He said, "I am a formation master. Setting up a formation requires more spiritual energy than other methods. If my golden elixir is damaged, even if I am good at calculating and designing formations and have a strong understanding, I will not be able to make any progress in formations."

Mu Tao said, "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist He."

The man surnamed He did not reply, but just looked her up and down with a meaningful look.

They were trapped in the secret realm for an unknown period of time, and because they were seriously injured and their spiritual power was depleted, they were unable to leave.

The cultivator surnamed Qian said, "This is not a solution. We must find a way out quickly, otherwise, Fellow Daoist He will not be able to hold on."

Mu Tao watched them discuss for a while, and then they turned around and looked at her with unfriendly eyes.

Mu Tao was very familiar with this kind of look, because the demons also looked at her like this, like a vicious mad dog seeing a piece of meat.

The first one to attack her was the one named He.

Afterwards, she was very exhausted and in a fuzzy state, she saw He probing her inner elixir. As he put on his clothes, he excitedly said, "She really has an extremely yin constitution. After practicing dual cultivation with her, not only did her inner elixir recover, but her cultivation also advanced to a higher level."

Mu Tao took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She knew what was waiting for her next.

Later, she passed out from exhaustion. In her last moment of consciousness, she murmured, "What is a demon? What is an immortal? It is nothing more than what one desires."

Later, in a trance, Mu Tao heard the cultivator surnamed Qian say, "My spiritual fire is already very pure, I have broken through the Nascent Soul stage, and my magic weapon actually has a spirit!"

The cultivator named Leng said, "My water spiritual root actually mutated into an ice spiritual root! Oh my god! This is such a pleasant surprise! Brother Lu, how about you? Have you made any progress in your physical skills?"

The man surnamed Lu said, "I have advanced two major stages and am about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. I didn't expect that Yin Shi's spiritual vein repair could strengthen my body like bronze skin and iron bones!

It’s a pity that among the six major sects, there is no one who specializes in physical skills.

Otherwise, I will definitely become the master's personal disciple."

The cultivator surnamed Qian said, "Brother Lu, what you said is wrong. You are so powerful, why do you still want to join a sect? It would be better for you to start from scratch and become the head of a sect.

I have made up my mind. I want to return to my homeland, build a kingdom with my strength, become a master of weapon refining, and expand the Qian family."

"Brother Qian is right!"

The man surnamed He said, "I have also broken through to the Nascent Soul stage! Great, I will go check the formation at the exit of the secret realm and open it."

"Wait!" The cultivator surnamed Qian kicked Mu Tao, "She is still breathing."

The cultivator surnamed Leng picked up his sword and wanted to kill Mu Tao. "If we can join a big sect in the future, make achievements and become famous in the world of cultivation.

Only the four of us know what happened in the secret realm, and no fifth person can know it."

Mu Tao wanted to escape, but she was too weak and could only lie on the ground and listen to them talking.

Knowing that Leng was planning to silence her, Mu Tao thought, well, she couldn't go back to Mushui Village, and she didn't want to live anymore, so she might as well just die.

However, just as they were about to take action, the secret realm became turbulent and thunder rumbled.

The thunder of their promotion has come...

The secret realm was crumbling and collapsing madly, so those people naturally had no time to care about Mu Tao.

At that moment, Mu Tao thought, so this is what it means when God says there is always a way out.

The thunder seemed to have torn a hole in her desperate situation and led her out of despair.
