The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#798 - Deeply scheming

"Those Secret Puppets forced us into the turbulent flow of secret power. The secret power there is disordered, so it's very difficult for us to use spells, formations, or even talismans. Fortunately, those Secret Puppets are also afraid of the turbulent flow of secret power, and they didn't keep chasing us."

"At first, everyone was together, taking care of each other, but later we encountered falling lightning, a hundred bolts of lightning, constantly falling from above our heads. One person was struck at the time, letting out a scream, and then fell to the ground, his whole body charred black, without moving."

"The rest of us were desperately dodging. After that, everyone scattered. I saw a golden light flashing not far from me, probably someone couldn't withstand the lightning and cast a protective spell."

"So I also consciously moved closer to that place, but this is the turbulent flow of secret power. Using spells here may trigger extremely dangerous chain reactions. That golden light didn't last long, and I heard a 'bang,' followed by a cloud of blood mist spreading out."

"I tried to restrain myself, not to think about what happened to that person, and continued to rush towards that place, but when I got there, I couldn't find anyone. And what's worse, I found that I had lost my sense of direction. I didn't know where I came from, and I didn't know which way to run to escape this turbulent flow of secret power."

"I was trapped like that. And after inhaling that blood mist, my skin began to fester at a rate visible to the naked eye. I'm ashamed to say that I was terrified at the time and had completely lost my composure, and started casting spells randomly."

"But I was lucky. Those spells didn't trigger even more powerful spells in the turbulent flow of secret power. Instead, the noise they made was noticed by Supervisor Li Xin."

"So he found me. After the two of us joined forces, I followed him to break through. It took us about three hours to escape from that turbulent flow of secret power with great difficulty."

"Besides us, Supervisor He also escaped later, but the other three supervisors failed to break through. After resting for a while, the three of us had no choice but to continue on our way."

"But not long after, we were entangled by a Mirage Beast. The Mirage Beast is formless and intangible, and almost impossible to kill in the secret realm, because after the previous fierce battle with those Secret Puppets, the three of us didn't have much secret power left. After using the Mind-Clearing Spell to entangle with it for a day and a night, we were still hit and invaded by it, and could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion."

"Among them, Supervisor He was the most deeply affected. He repeatedly treated Supervisor Li Xin and me as Assistant Supervisor Guo, grabbing us with an excited expression to explain, and even wanted to fight us, but he was subdued by Supervisor Li Xin and me together."

"But gradually, his periods of clarity became shorter and shorter. Just as we were about to leave the secret realm, he broke free from our control when Supervisor Li Xin and I were unprepared, and fled into the depths of the secret realm again."

"And we really didn't have the strength anymore. We looked back for half a day, but couldn't find him, so we had to reluctantly continue to withdraw from the secret realm, but we didn't expect, we didn't expect..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuenv's expression became more and more agitated. She wanted to speak several times, but closed her eyes painfully. Finally, she used all her strength to say word by word, "But we didn't expect that we would encounter Assistant Supervisor Guo again."

"He blocked our way and politely asked us to go back, because if we left the secret realm alive, then the good deeds he did here would be known to others, ha ha."

Supervisor Huang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "You said you were entangled by a Mirage Beast, is it possible that the Assistant Supervisor Guo you saw was not real either?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Jiang Yuenv said in a mournful tone, "Because half of my body was cut off by him! Although Supervisor Li Xin and I were two people, we were already exhausted at that time, and Guo Shouhuai, although only one person, was waiting in full strength. Supervisor Li Xin and I together were not his opponents."

"We were busy dealing with the formation he had broken, and he suddenly attacked, summoning a small sword and slashing at my waist..."

"Wait, is Assistant Supervisor Guo also a sword cultivator?" Lu Jing interjected.

Jiang Yuenv didn't answer his question, but looked at Supervisor Huang on the side, "Lord Huang, you are Assistant Supervisor Guo's best friend, do you know if he secretly refined a flying sword?"

Supervisor Huang shook his head, "I don't know."

"Then he has deceived everyone, ha ha, what a deep scheme!"

"It's really possible that Shouhuai would do something like refining a sword alone," Supervisor Huang didn't refute, "He majored in astrology at the academy, and the evaluation he received from his teacher was that he was deep in thought and acted after careful planning. This is his strength and his weakness. Compared to trusting others, he is more willing to trust himself, and he completes the layout early no matter what he does."

"But it is precisely because of this that he has been able to lead the Celestial Observatory through difficulties over the years."

"But this time, he personally destroyed the Celestial Observatory!" Jiang Yuenv said resentfully.

"But at that time, we couldn't care about him and quickly went in to find Supervisor Li Xin. At that time, I thought that Supervisor Li Xin had already suffered Guo Shouhuai's poisonous hands, and I was heartbroken, but I didn't expect that when I found Supervisor Li Xin, he didn't have any injuries on his body. It was only then that I knew that he had also fallen victim to the turbulent flow of secret power."

"Supervisor Li Xin was hit by an unknown spell in the turbulent flow of secret power, and his body became harder and harder, but he stubbornly didn't tell us, but it was difficult for him to move after leaving the secret realm."

After Jiang Yuenv finished talking about what happened in the secret realm, she stared at Supervisor Huang and said in a hoarse voice, "I know I can't live, Lord Huang, give me an honest answer, can Supervisor Li Xin still be saved?"

"Yes, he can be saved," Supervisor Huang nodded, his face full of seriousness, "I can guarantee it to you."

Jiang Yuenv seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this, and relaxed, closed her eyes, and murmured, "It's not bad to die, at least I don't have to deal with strange things anymore, and I don't have to worry about that thing in the secret realm."

Supervisor Huang knew that it was meaningless to say comforting words at this time, so he asked directly, "Supervisor Jiang, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"There are many, but most of them are meaningless, and you guys will probably be busy next, so I won't bother you with my personal affairs," Jiang Yuenv said, "After I die, just burn me directly, and take the ashes to... no, just bury them under the big banyan tree in the academy."
