Chapter 1461 Bad Luck
Meanwhile on the other side.
Xie Baiyi and Shen Weixun, who had been arrested, looked at each other in a daze.
Xie Baiyi frowned.
"What is this place?"
He only remembered the earth-shattering surge of spiritual energy just now. He subconsciously tried to defend himself, and then he heard Gu Xia suddenly shout at them. Then everything went black. When he came to his senses again, the two of them were already here.
"I should have known better than to save you." Just as Xie Baiyi was deep in thought, Shen Weixun had already come to her senses, turned her head slightly, and looked at him with a gloomy expression, "What bad luck."
The disdain in his flat tone was undisguised.
Xie Baiyi: "..."
He felt somewhat guilty and hesitated to speak, but couldn't come up with any rebuttal.
Shen Weixun didn't care about his feelings.
He genuinely believed it, and that's what he said.
The moment the sound of the magical artifact exploding reached them, everyone was caught off guard. Shen Weixun, however, was more composed and quickly sensed someone approaching.
He happened to be standing right next to Xie Baiyi at that moment. Being so close, when he realized that the other party was coming for Xie Baiyi, Shen Weixun subconsciously stopped him.
Unexpectedly, his act of stopping the man caused him to be dragged along as well.
When he came to his senses, he found that all his fellow disciples had disappeared.
Shen Weixun: "..."
I should have known better than to stop them.
What does it have to do with him if someone wants to arrest Xie Baiyi?
Well, now they're both in trouble.
Xie Baiyi knew that it was probably his fault that the other party had been implicated. Although he didn't like hearing this, he didn't refute it.
She cleared her throat slightly, looking a little awkward, and then decisively changed the subject, "Where is this?"
He gripped his sword tightly, his eyes scanning the unfamiliar surroundings, his brow furrowed with undisguised vigilance.
“Good question.” Shen Weixun followed, sword in hand, and replied casually, “I’d like to know too.”
From a scene of utter chaos to a lush, verdant landscape.
The two of them were brought to this unfamiliar place in a daze, and for a moment they really couldn't guess what was going on.
However, it's easy to imagine how anxious the other disciples would be if they suddenly disappeared at this time. With this in mind, Xie Baiyi decided to try to send a message out by looking for his jade slip.
However, the moment the jade slip was in his hand, it turned into dust and vanished into the air with a gust of wind.
"who?"
Xie Baiyi ignored the crushed jade slip, instantly holding his spirit sword in front of him, and coldly said, "Get out here!"
"Thank you, senior brother."
A strange yet somewhat familiar voice rang out in the quiet space, followed by a noticeable ripple in the air.
Xie Baiyi's expression remained unchanged, but upon seeing the person who arrived, he couldn't help but frown. "It's you?"
It's no wonder he was surprised, after all, just a second ago they were fighting to the death with each other.
But only a short time had passed, and the girl who had been so confident of victory was now surrounded by chaotic demonic energy, looking disheveled, her face filled with an uncontrollable gloom.
No wonder Xie Baiyi felt the voice sounded unfamiliar. Qu Yimian walked out step by step, suddenly looked up at them, and her usually gentle voice was a bit hoarse, "How have you been?"
"Thank you, senior brother."
Xie Baiyi: "..."
Shen Weixun: "..."
What do you mean?
Didn't they just meet?
They didn't know if it was just their imagination, but they felt that the other person's address of "senior brother" was delivered with gritted teeth.
Qu Yimian ignored what they were thinking and glanced lightly at Xie Baiyi's hand. "Are you trying to send a message to Gu Xia?"
She stopped smiling and said coldly, "Don't even dream about it."
Qu Yimian had anticipated this move and immediately crushed the only means of communication with the outside world the moment Xie Baiyi took out the jade slip.
Upon hearing this, regardless of Xie Baiyi's expression, Shen Weixun couldn't help but want to ask, "Why are you dragging him into your business?"
It is true that Xie Baiyi's jade slip was crushed as soon as he took it out.
He was even more unlucky.
Before it could even be taken out, it was crushed to pieces.
Now look what's happened, who knows where they've been dumped?
Therefore, Shen Weixun's words about "bad luck" were very sincere.
He genuinely believed that.
Otherwise, with so many close disciples gathered together, there's no reason why only one of them would be caught in the crossfire.
Even with Shen Weixun's composure, he was starting to lose his composure.
He had already figured out that Qu Yimian had made such a big commotion and disrupted the situation not long ago in order to take the opportunity to escape, but he didn't understand why she still wanted to kidnap Xie Baiyi.
As for himself?
It's probably just bad luck.
Of course, the real culprit was Xie Baiyi.
*
Perhaps it was the lingering resentment emanating from Shen Weixun that was too hard to ignore, so Xie Baiyi tried his best to pretend he didn't see it, and pointed his sword at Qu Yimian expressionlessly, "Where is this place? What do you want with us?"
Even in this unexpected situation, he quickly began to think. Qu Yimian's current condition was clearly not good. Although she had managed to escape temporarily by some unknown means during her previous battle with Gu Xia, the injuries she sustained were real.
If her injuries hadn't been so severe that even taking medicine couldn't help her recover quickly, her internal energy wouldn't have been in such a chaotic state.
Xie Baiyi fell into deep thought, beginning to consider whether he and Shen Weixun could defeat the other party if they joined forces.
Although his expression was cold, his murderous intent became increasingly apparent.
Qu Yimian was provoked by his gaze, and her expression suddenly turned ferocious. "You don't need to know what kind of place this is. You just need to know that without my permission, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to escape."
"Huh?" She turned and laughed again. "You want to kill me? Interesting."
"Even if we were to be reborn, you would still choose to oppose me, wouldn't you?"
Shen Weixun, who had been quietly keeping a low profile, caught the key words and calmly interrupted her immersive rant, "What do you mean?"
The young man originally did not intend to get involved in their love-hate relationship, since it had nothing to do with him.
Just as he was letting his mind wander, he suddenly heard those words. A glint of light flashed in his dark pupils, and his gaze fixed on Qu Yimian. "What do you mean by 'reborn'?"
Xie Baiyi was stunned by Shen Weixun's questions earlier. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had wronged her a lot. Only when he heard Shen Weixun's direct question did he realize what was going on.
Surprise, doubt, and bewilderment flashed across their faces as they looked at each other again, their expressions mirroring each other.
Wait, did they hear something incredible?
"You want to know?"
Having come this far, Qu Yimian no longer cared what earth-shattering secret she might have accidentally revealed.
After planning for so long, all her efforts were in vain. If she hadn't sacrificed a magical artifact to escape in time, she might really be dead there now.
The thought of that sword that had struck her sent chills down her spine.
Aside from hatred for Gu Xia, Qu Yimian's biggest resentment was that she wanted to take Xie Baiyi with her before fleeing.
I just didn't expect Shen Weixun to be so perceptive, and even to try to stop me.
The time that the self-destruction of the magical artifact could buy her was limited, so Qu Yimian dared not delay and, in her haste, simply captured the person as well.
Looking back now, she suddenly realized that her choice was absolutely right.
With Shen Weixun in her grasp, how could she possibly be unable to restrain Gu Xia, who wanted to kill her?
Thinking of this, Qu Yimian's face showed a few happy smiles, which, combined with her slightly distorted expression just now, made her look as crazy as could be.
Shen Weixun and Xie Baiyi, who were initially confused, both took a step back without making a sound.
Not that I'm scared anymore.
The main issue is that the other person's mental state doesn't seem quite right, so it's best to be cautious.
Qu Yimian also understood their intentions. Her expression was cold, but then she suddenly seemed to have a change of heart and tugged at the corner of her lips.
"Fine, I might as well tell you."
