There’s definitely something fishy here. Otherwise, letting an outsider become an Assistant Elder—it’s a joke, isn’t it?

"Indeed, this Spirit Pool is not from the Martial Realm at all; it’s from that Abyssal world. I acquired it unintentionally during a battle with the Abyss races. Cultivating in the Spirit Pool is immensely beneficial for cultivators, but if used for sacrifice, it transforms the strength of the living into the owner’s power. This is a common method used by the Abyss races!"

Upon hearing this, a chill emerged in Ye Luo’s heart!

There is actually such an evil thing, and there are thousands of disciples from Zi Wei Sect who entered. According to her, if it’s opened to the outside, how many disciples from the entire South Territory would there be? If they are all sacrificed, it means all these lives would be completely lost! What a terrifying thought!

Even though Ye Luo is accustomed to life and death, he can’t help but feel shocked.

More importantly, he is one of them! If he enters, his life would surely be endangered!

"But I have no way to stop her now; the gap between our cultivation levels is too vast. She could kill me with a single move!" she sighed.

"Then, if we spread this news, won’t the Sects be alert?" Ye Luo asked.

"It’s useless. They treat the Spirit Pool as a sacred object. I suspect many old guys will willingly sacrifice themselves in it. Do you think anyone would believe your words?"

"By the way, did she have Zi Wei Sect disciples follow you in? Or make you the Deputy Sect Master?" she asked suddenly.

Ye Luo was taken aback. "That’s not it. She only made me an Assistant Elder, but the disciples really are supposed to follow me in!"

"That’s trouble; you certainly can’t escape now. The sacrifice requires a soul sacrifice; the person’s Divine Soul must be strong enough to initiate the sacrifice. Do you know why I chatted with you earlier? Actually, many have entered this room: Gao Shu from Zi Wei Sect, powerful figures from other factions, even several Sect ancestors have entered! But none caught my attention until you came in! Because your Divine Soul is too strong, and your bloodline—there’s no race in the Sixth Region with a bloodline as strong as yours!"

Ye Luo was shocked. "How do you know this!"

"The Lunhui cultivation technique is unique—it’s not only fast in power growth but also remarkable in detection. Since I can detect this, she naturally understands your background even more easily!"

With that, Ye Luo understood it all—it’s essentially a conspiracy!

But Ye Luo is not someone who accepts fate easily.

"Can I see you?" Ye Luo suddenly said.

Since he said this, he chose to trust her!

Of course, saying he fully trusts her is impossible, but he feels she’s more trustworthy than the Sect Master.

"Aren’t you afraid of me?" she asked curiously.

Ye Luo laughed silently, "What’s there to fear about you? And using Divine Sense to transmit sound surely consumes you quite a bit, right? Besides, you know more about the Sect Master; you should know how to help me escape!"

She was silent for a moment, then agreed.

Afterward, Ye Luo stood up and walked slowly toward the door.

"Master?" Nuonuo opened her eyes and asked in confusion.

"Focus on your cultivation; don’t worry about me!"

Seeing Ye Luo’s expression, Nuonuo dared not ask further.

Upon reaching the door, the Talisman Characters appeared on it again.

This time, Ye Luo didn’t hesitate, tearing the Talisman Characters open directly! Though his heart was still uneasy, after all, he was facing Zi Wei Fairy, the former first figure in the Sixth Region, renowned across the entire Martial Realm!

Once the Talisman Characters were torn down, the scene changed, entering a strange space. Ye Luo was not surprised; this surely connected to another space. If she really hid in Zi Wei Sect, even with Talisman Characters’ hiding effects, it would likely be hard to avoid the Sect Master’s investigation!

After all, they were once the same person, and they understand each other quite well.

Next moment, Ye Luo saw a graceful figure standing in front of him, gazing at her with burning eyes!

Her appearance was identical to the Sect Master! But surprisingly, there was an extra bit of spirit in her, which puzzled Ye Luo.

More importantly, they were both real physical forms; originally, he thought one would exist as a Soul Body!

Turns out, this Lunhui cultivation technique is truly wondrous, allowing both to possess real physical forms!

"You have real guts to actually dare to come in!" she laughed charmingly.

Admittedly, her appearance was exceptionally beautiful, especially with this laughter, leaving Ye Luo a bit dazed.

"Time is pressing; we’ll soon enter the Spirit Pool. We better quickly think of a strategy!" Ye Luo smiled wryly.

Now he was even more convinced that the person before him was the real Zi Wei Fairy, meaning his life was indeed at risk!

"As for strategy, there’s one. That is, you take me inside; in that way, I can control the Spirit Pool, and naturally, your crisis would be resolved!" she said directly.

However, Ye Luo had some other thoughts!

Letting her in—if she only wants the powers, Ye Luo would still be in danger!

The best solution is for Ye Luo to leave Zi Wei Sect now, run away!

But he can imagine that the Sect Master would have left restrictions on him; if he runs, the restrictions trigger immediately, meaning it’s very hard to escape Zi Wei Sect!

Given this, why not let her in? They both want the Spirit Pool, so letting them fight might not be a bad thing!

"How can I take you in? Won’t the Sect Master find you?"

Zi Wei Fairy shook her head slightly, "Don’t worry; I have a way. Take this bottle, and I’ll hide in it. It’s a Magical Treasure with its own space. Even if she discovers it, this bottle’s space connects to the outside space, and I have ways to escape!"

Ye Luo thought a bit, then put the bottle away.

Zi Wei Fairy didn’t say more. Next moment, she disappeared from the spot, turning into a stream of light, entering the bottle.

Ye Luo marvelled; he had never seen such a Magical Treasure before!
