Chapter 146: It's Over, I'm Trapped
What is it like to be caught red-handed by Lao Liu?
Under the gaze of everyone, Zi Mian was also a bit stunned.
She never dreamed that she would be exposed by the spell fragment itself. Looking at Chen Runyu's shocked and disappointed eyes, Zi Mian also felt panicked.
She knew that from now on, Chen Runyu would no longer trust her.
She was the first girl, besides Qing Mian, who genuinely cared for her. Although he also thought Chen Runyu was a foolish child, she never thought of hurting him.
Keeping those fragments was also intended to use against Zhang Chi, but she never found the opportunity to strike.
"Xiao Zi, why did you do this?"
Chen Runyu was heartbroken. She knew that Daoists could be selfish, but she thought that the three of them had gone through life and death together and should be honest with each other.
As a result, she and Zhang Chi were indeed open and honest with each other, but she never expected Zi Mian to have ulterior motives.
At this moment, Zi Mian couldn't answer Chen Runyu's question. Her silence only made Chen Runyu angrier.
In Chen Runyu's eyes, children can be educated when they make mistakes, but if they don't know how to admit their mistakes and repent, then there is no hope for them.
Seeing the awkward situation, Zhang Chi stepped forward to appease Chen Runyu, saying, "Don't be angry, she's still young, maybe she just lacks a sense of security. Anyway, she didn't betray us throughout, so let's just let this matter pass!"
Zhang Chi's magnanimity was interpreted differently by Zi Mian.
"You didn't betray us this time, I'll give you that, but secretly keeping things to yourself, this matter won't just pass."
Thinking of this, Zi Mian became extremely afraid.
Chen Runyu's anger had not subsided, and she glared at Zi Mian before turning her head away.
Clearly, on the surface, Chen Runyu didn't bring it up again, but she would definitely remember this matter.
Wenren Li didn't expect to witness such a spectacle when everything was almost over.
She had thought that the three of them were a very united team, but it turned out to be just like this.
However, Zhang Chi and Chen Runyu did indeed treat each other with honesty and without hiding anything. To meet such a companion once in a lifetime was already enough, so how could she dare to ask for more?
Besides, she would never meet someone like Zhang Chi again.
She could be considered a confidant with Zhang Chi, and precisely because of their unique understanding, she knew that Zhang Chi would never trust her.
The alliance between the two of them was one of vigilance and mutual assistance.
Fortunately, they both knew that they wouldn't betray each other until the stakes of betrayal were high enough. This could be considered a different kind of trust.
"The origin of creating the secret realm and the emptiness of all laws is right here."
Wenren Li pointed to a few glowing objects. As these fragments gathered together, they gradually formed a complete shape.
Each piece looked like fish scales.
And in Zhang Chi's eyes, there was black energy swirling around them, as if they were under some kind of curse.
Thanks to the amplification of the Body of the First Star, Zhang Chi can see this black aura, but Chen Runyu and Zi Mian cannot.
"These things are powerful but ominous. How about we split them evenly?" Zhang Chi can see them, so naturally Wenren Li can see them too.
But she is not afraid of this curse.
The methods of the ghost clan are useless to her.
As long as she drips her own blood on them, these cursed treasures can gradually recover.
However, she won't lift the curse for Zhang Chi for free. Zhang Chi has to pay a price, such as giving her a wave of fire seeds.
"I'll give all of these to you. I don't want them anymore. By the way, I'll give you another gift to offset our past grievances. Can you let us leave?" Zhang Chi said, taking out the legacy letter of the King Gold Carp from his storage ring.
Wenren Li took the legacy letter and read its contents without any obstacles.
It turns out she is also a top student.
Zhang Chi felt a blow to his heart and secretly decided that he would also learn multiple languages in the future.
Wenren Li and Zhang Chi exchanged glances, understanding everything without words.
Zhang Chi and she pretended to draw a clear line between them, and she would cooperate.
After reading the legacy letter, the cause and effect of this place were already clear. Even she and Zhang Chi both thought of deeper information.
Exchanging another glance with Zhang Chi, Wenren Li said, "Since you don't want it, I'll take it all. Our past grievances are settled. The secret realm is about to collapse. After we leave, if we have fate, we'll meet again."
Wenren Li received the five dragon scales in her palm. Seeing her easily take away the treasures, Chen Runyu's heart was bleeding.
But she believed that Zhang Chi had his reasons for doing this, so she didn't interrupt.
On the other hand, Cai Yu was quite dissatisfied and chirped, "You guys don't even ask for the opinion of His Highness Cai Yu!"
Wenren Li then looked at Cai Yu, smiled slightly, and said, "Do you want it? If you do, come and take it!"
Seeing her creepy smile, Cai Yu immediately became timid and hid behind Zhang Chi's neck.
"No, no, I don't want it. It's disgusting just looking at those bugs."
Cai Yu is a typical picky eater.
Clearly, he is afraid of Wenren Li but claims not to like it.
Wenren Li couldn't be bothered to argue with a petty bird and turned her head to look at the sky.
The boundless mist was slowly dissipating, and a light began to appear above the dome.
They could all feel the ground rising, just like it had sunk at the beginning.
Finally, they saw the dark underwater, with the water divided by massive islands, forming surging currents on both sides. The scene was spectacular.
Unfortunately, only a few people could witness this magnificent sight.
When they arrived, the island was filled with people, but when they left, there was only ashes everywhere. The once prosperous Spirit Communication City had also become ruins.
Fortunately, they managed to survive.
Chen Runyu looked at everything outside and gradually relaxed.
In the original territory of the Talisman Treasure Sect, Long Yan tried her best to stabilize the turbulent ships, while anxiously looking towards the source of the surging waves.
When the scene ended, the dust had not yet settled, and she didn't know who came up from under the whirlpool, whether it was Zhang Chi or some other monster.
Finally, the outline of the island gradually appeared, and the huge waves surged outward once again.
It took more than half an hour for everything to completely calm down.
Long Yan obviously didn't have the patience to wait any longer. She flew up directly and flew towards the island.
Tang Ruoling also flew up with her, while the others watched from the ship.
"Zhang Chi!"
Seeing Zhang Chi and Chen Runyu standing together, everything seemed normal, and Long Yan called out to them happily.
Soon, a pale green figure flew out from beside her and pounced directly at Zhang Chi.
Wow, can't you be a little reserved?
When Zhang Chi saw Tang Ruoling pounce on him, of course he had no reason to push her away and gladly accepted her.
Chen Runyu watched with a bitter heart on the side, but didn't say anything.
Gu Youyou said sarcastically, "Some people are really talented."
Isn't this talent a good thing?
At first, Tang Ruoling didn't like him, but now she was clearly excited. It was obvious that she had fallen for him.
It was understandable for Tang Ruoling to be excited now.
She had been holding onto her heart for so long, and it was only at this moment that she completely let it out.
"It's okay now, I'm back, everyone is watching."
With a few words, Zhang Chi calmed down the excited Tang Ruoling. Tang Ruoling then shyly let go of Zhang Chi and nodded, saying, "I was just excited for a moment, don't think too much."
"Yeah, I know."
Zhang Chi smiled slightly, as if he really believed her.
This secretly annoyed Tang Ruoling.
Is this guy stupid? Can't he see that she's just trying to save face?
Zi Mian watched all of this happening and felt great sorrow in her heart.
Another sister had fallen!
Not long ago, Tang Ruoling mentioned Zhang Chi with anger and humiliation on her face, but now only shyness remained.
"You finally came back safely!"
Seeing them reunited, Long Yan also felt warm in her heart and walked over with a smile.
"I'm sorry for making you worry, I wonder how long we've been gone this time?"
The flow of time in some secret realms is different from the outside world, so it was reasonable for Zhang Chi to ask.
"The time outside passed as long as you experienced inside."
"It seems like it's been over a month. Hey, how did you know how long we've been gone?"
"This is a long story, we'll talk about it later."
Long Yan temporarily stopped the topic and looked at Wenren Li beside her.
She didn't have any good feelings towards this person, but she didn't have any ill feelings either.
Being able to persist until the end without falling into evil, she was considered a notable figure.
Although she had used Zhang Chi, she had also given warnings, so it could be considered mutually beneficial.
Now that Long Yan was representing the Dragon Transformation Palace, she should show her attitude.
"This Fellow Daoist, I am Long Yan from the Dragon Transformation Palace. Congratulations on escaping from the trap, Fellow Daoist."
"Thank you."
Wenren Li also showed courtesy to a stranger.
"The Talisman Treasure Sect's secret realm may be broken, but there are still many doubts. If you know anything or want to know anything, you can come find me anytime. During the time you were away, many things happened. If there's anything you want to know, I will tell you everything."
"That won't be necessary. I have already lost my closest maid on this trip, and I don't want to stay in this sad place of the Talisman Treasure Sect any longer. Goodbye."
Wenren Li mentioned that her maid had died and expressed her sadness, so Long Yan naturally wouldn't refuse.
She was just asking out of politeness.
After bidding farewell, she led Zhang Chi onto the ship.
There were three ships waiting by the side, one was Long Yan's rescue ship, one was the Sword Sect's evacuation ship, and the other was an evacuation ship for other sects.
As soon as Zhang Chi boarded the ship, he saw many familiar disciples from the Sword Sect, and he already had a guess in his heart.
He knew it was time to truly perform his acting skills.
"Elder Chongling, junior brothers, why are you all here?"
The people from the Sword Sect saw Zhang Chi's fortunate return and his return to their side, and they were naturally overjoyed. But when they heard Zhang Chi's question, the sadness that they had barely suppressed these past few days surged like a wave once again.
The male disciples covered their faces and held back their sadness, while some female disciples cried sadly.
"Senior Brother, the Water Monster attacked downstream, and besides us, the Sword Sect has already been completely wiped out..."
