Oh, so this is where he has been waiting.
He has already turned into a child, yet his temper is still so great.
What he said was true; it was indeed his own doing. But if this person truly had a way out, he would have escaped long ago. Why would he still be stuck here?
If he wanted to leave, aside from waiting for external forces to break through, they would need to cooperate to escape together.
Qi Xiao lowered his head in frustration, thinking that the senior must be magnanimous and wouldn’t hold it against someone like him, a junior. He then asked for the senior's assistance.
The child nodded in satisfaction and lifted his chin.
Hmm, at least now he somewhat resembles a disciple of the Free and Easy Sect.
Qi Xiao couldn’t help but doubt whether this child had some obsession with the Free and Easy Sect; every word seemed to revolve around it.
When a disciple of the Free and Easy Sect greeted him, the child appeared quite pleased.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Qi Xiao's mind as he looked at the child with suspicion.
“Senior, since you are so close with the sect leader, why haven’t you thought about becoming a guest elder at the Free and Easy Sect?”
The child's expression changed, as if he had hit a soft spot, and he jumped up anxiously.
“What are you talking about? I am all alone, wandering freely in this vast world. How could I possibly take on the role of an elder?”
“Oh, really?” Qi Xiao replied with a hint of skepticism.
The child nodded firmly, insisting that it was indeed so.
“Is that so? I’ve heard you mention the Free and Easy Sect in almost every sentence; I thought you were eager to join.”
Of course he wanted to; after all, he had been politely declined during his face-to-face meeting with the sect leader years ago.
Whenever this matter was brought up, the sect leader would repeatedly raise his cup and urge him to drink.
The child shifted his eyes nervously and clenched his fist lightly before coughing softly into his palm.
“My nature is too carefree; I’m not suited for sect life at the moment. Perhaps we can discuss it again in the future.”
Qi Xiao acknowledged him with a nod and secretly glanced at him, as if seeing through everything.
The child seemed eager to present himself as a master in front of Qi Xiao. He straightened his back and took two steps forward to discuss the situation here.
After observing for some time, he concluded that the Worrying Lotus was exceptionally prominent in terms of spiritual essence; attacking it with spiritual power would yield no results. However, if one were to use solid weaponry or techniques against it, it would simply evade the attack.
The child cleared his throat lightly and reached a conclusion.
“Although I guessed how to escape back then, unfortunately, it was too late; I had been trapped by illusions for too long, and my physical body was already consumed by the Worrying Lotus. Now that your body is still intact, it’s worth a try.”
Once you turn this place into a sieve, I don't believe that this Lotus of Worry won't spit us both out.
Qixiao sat down in the place where his physical body was sleeping. When he opened his eyes again, he focused his mind and found himself back in his own body.
He got up and moved around, realizing that he felt no other abnormalities, which made him very happy.
He summoned his sword, ready to attack the dark, murky petals surrounding him, but suddenly paused.
The child, puzzled, frowned and asked, "Why did you stop?"
Qixiao recalled his earlier hesitation. "Senior, if I attack this Lotus of Worry and it releases that strange twisting black mist again, you should be able to handle it, right?"
Previously, he had only tested the waters slightly, which had caused the space to distort and the black mist to surge wildly. If he were to strike with full force now, wouldn’t it just fill this place with black mist?
The child hesitated for a moment, his expression stiffening. He fidgeted with his hands and replied uncertainly, "It should be fine."
"Should be?" Upon hearing this, Qixiao's eyes widened in disbelief.
This person couldn’t have never considered this issue at all, could they? What if they ended up getting killed by those strange black mists before they even managed to escape?
Feeling embarrassed, the child's face flushed red. He puffed out his chest defiantly and insisted, "If I say it's fine, then it's fine! You don’t need to say more; hurry up and take action!"
Seeing this, Qixiao paused for a moment, his lips twitching.
Desperate to save face while suffering in silence. This was a matter of life and death; there was no need to boast for the sake of pride.
He lowered his sword and coughed lightly. "Senior, I think—"
The child jumped up, glaring at him with wide eyes. His small face was clearly flushed with two distinct shades of red; it was hard to tell if he was angry or feeling guilty.
With hands on his hips, he shouted loudly, "If I say it's fine, then it's fine! Why aren’t you hurrying up to act?"
Indeed, just stubbornness.
Qixiao tightened his grip on the sword. Since he had said so confidently that it would be fine, if anything went wrong later on, he couldn’t blame Qixiao for putting him in a difficult position.
A woman in black clothing smiled softly. Though she appeared disheveled, her beauty could not be concealed.
Xiao Qizhao had already merged with the Worrying Lotus, becoming its nourishment. If you forcefully split them apart, he would undoubtedly die!
Tsk tsk, the Elder personally taking action and harming the disciples of the sect is truly a spectacle.
Elder Chang shot her a fierce glare.
"Devil woman, don't speak nonsense here!"
The woman smiled smugly. "Since you don't believe me, why not just act? I want to see how you'll explain when you find that boy's corpse."
With an air of confidence, she seemed to be waiting for the show to unfold, causing the Elder outside to hesitate.
If what that devil woman said was true, then taking action now would undoubtedly harm Qizhao.
Elder Chang's expression turned cold as he tightened his grip on his sword. Since waiting meant death, then not waiting also meant death; he might as well kill this culprit first.
Suddenly, the woman laughed brightly, clutching her stomach as if she didn't take Elder Chang's threat seriously at all.
In the next moment, a chilling sword light shot towards her. The black mist stirred slightly, and she had already vanished from her spot, leaving only the sword light to shatter the roof into pieces.
Elder Chang gritted his teeth and wanted to pursue her but found that the woman had long since disappeared without a trace, leaving only her echoing laughter that grew fainter and fainter.
Fuming, Elder Chang retracted his sword. This trick again—running away when she couldn't win? Next time I encounter this devil woman, I will be sure to strike first and end her!
The other Elders around looked at each other in surprise.
Just moments ago, they had been focused on the woman's position, planning to intercept her. But as soon as the black mist moved slightly, her figure vanished without a trace; they hadn't even seen how she disappeared.
The two Sect Leaders who had been worried about Qizhao immediately approached upon witnessing this scene.
"Qingxu Zhenren, did you see how that devil left?"
The old man sighed softly, closed his eyes slightly, and shook his head.
Song Maoyan and Li Jinyuan felt a chill in their hearts as a certain suspicion gradually solidified.
"If I'm not mistaken, that shouldn't be an ordinary shrinking technique but rather a path of space."
That devil woman must have comprehended certain spatial laws that allowed her to forcibly tear through space to escape, which is why we couldn't capture her aura.
Tearing a rift between two realms and escaping through it is vastly different from simply tearing through a rift within the same realm; while they may seem similar, the difficulty is worlds apart.
Nevertheless, even so, it was still quite remarkable.
