Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 128 Mutual checks and balances

No one knows when the entrance to the secret realm will open.

Therefore, they must arrive one hour before the 11th, otherwise if the gate to the secret realm opens at midnight on the 11th, they will have to wait here for another five hundred years!

Jiang Yan listened for an hour, but these people were still crying and sobbing.

I couldn't help but feel contempt.

Aren't they all so arrogant during the day?

Unexpectedly, they turned out to be a group that was all bark and no bite.

It seems these people really didn't get the artifact and will be punished when they get back. That's fine, it saves her the trouble of doing it herself.

She quietly left.

"Contractor, she's gone."

Feng Siyue and Bai Zi exchanged a knowing glance and laughed simultaneously.

After a long pause, Feng Siyue finally said, "Actually, I've always had a question: since they're all vying for the divine artifact, why don't they fight each other?"

After Jiang Yan left, Bai Zi stopped pretending.

She leaned against Bai Fangming and said, "It's very simple~"

"The four holy lands are mutually restraining each other. Now that Yan Ji and Tian Yu are about to join forces, Long Qianchuan and Yun Hezhi will naturally not act rashly."

"Before we get the artifact, it's more important to maintain our strength and good condition."

Feng Siyue was somewhat puzzled, "Jiang Yan and the others have two sacred artifacts, why are they so quiet?"

Bai Zi thought of something and chuckled as she explained, "Although Jiang Yan and Song Xiqing possess two sacred artifacts, their own strength and trump cards are far inferior to those of Long Qianchuan and Yun Hezhi."

"With the addition of our side, which wields a top-tier sacred artifact, we naturally maintain a delicate balance where neither side moves."

"Moreover, this secret realm has existed for many years, and its own power has long been weakened."

"If a real fight breaks out, the five top-tier sacred artifacts would be enough to destroy this secret realm. They don't want to perish along with the secret realm before they even get the artifacts."

After all, they are the holy sons and daughters of the four holy lands; they can't possibly be completely brainless.

Feng Siyue suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Often, brute force alone is not enough.

The last day passed peacefully.

Calm and calm.

There was still no news of the artifact reappearing by noon, so Feng Siyue and her group began their return journey.

"Chu Han, the innate spiritual marrow and the purple divine bamboo are of great importance, you must act with caution."

"We'll definitely be watched once we get out. Have you thought about what to do?"

Their primary task at this stage is to successfully evade the various sects and the four holy lands that are lying in wait outside the secret realm.

Feng Siyue wasn't worried about this; she had already figured out what to do.

"We have no problem, but how will you get out safely?"

"us?"

Bai Zi smiled and said, "We're fine too. The Seventh Elder has arranged public identities for us, so we can get by."

Feng Siyue didn't ask, "Then let's meet at Hanxi after we go out."

"it is good."

The group decided to go back through the original entrance.

They parted ways halfway through the journey.

In a deserted place, Feng Siyue led Xuan Li into Tianxin.

"Ah Li, don't go out for a while. I'll let you out when it's safe."

Xuan Li lay back in the chair and said, "Okay."

Feng Siyue changed into a black outfit, tore off several buttons, and made her hair a mess.

She put her gemstone ring into the Heavenly Heart, broke off a section of a distant branch of Jade Purity Flower, wrapped it in a rag, and hid it in her sleeve.

"Ah Li, do I look like someone who went into a secret realm and got lucky and found something good?"

Xuan Li circled Feng Siyue twice, "She does look similar, but she has fewer injuries."

"That's true. It's a bit unreasonable to be perfectly fine after entering the secret realm."

Feng Siyue took out a dagger, eager to try it out.

Xuan Li asked her, "Are you planning to stab yourself twice?"

"Right on my mind."

Xuan Li: "...So ruthless."

Feng Siyue estimated the safe distance, then slashed her own neck, causing blood to gush out.

She quickly covered her neck, applied a hemostatic pill, and the bleeding stopped.

Feng Siyue then used the same method to cut her own shoulder and arm. In the end, she looked like she had barely survived.

Xuan Li had to admire her patience; she could hurt herself like that without batting an eye.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Feng Siyue left Tianxin early, suppressing her strength to the early stage of Great Spirit Master, and then leisurely made her way to the exit of the secret realm.

Bored, Xuan Li began to wander around Tianxin.

"Feng Siyue, after we get back, are you planning to give all these things to them or keep them yourself?"

Feng Siyue thought for a moment, "Give them one Purple Divine Bamboo, and we'll keep the Innate Spiritual Marrow ourselves. That way, we'll have two on each side, which is fairer."

“That works too. If the Bai family has other ideas, the initiative is still in our hands.”

Xuan Li stopped in front of a strange black plant. "Eh? When did you plant a black flower?"

"I found it in a cave, and I brought it out because I thought it was novel."

"oh oh."

Xuan Li's gaze fell on the purple pillar-shaped stone and the bone sword beside her. She picked them up and touched them. "I know this stone. Where did this sword come from?"
