Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 808 World 356

Shen Ruyin lifted her foot and realized that the thing did not run away immediately. Only then did she take a closer look and realize that she had stepped on a person's arm.

This person didn't look familiar, but judging from his clothes, he seemed to be a disciple of the Biyun Palace.

Shen Ruyin checked his neck and found that he was still alive, but she couldn't wake him up no matter what she tried.

Because there were people sitting by the fire ahead, Shen Ruyin didn't know whether they were friends or foes, so she didn't dare to shout loudly.

She carefully searched the surroundings for a while and found several people lying silently. The owner of the jade talisman she had picked up earlier, that disciple of the Supreme Sect, was also there.

So many disciples from various sects are lying here so close by, all of them knocked down and not waking up.

The person sitting by the fire must be an enemy.

As Shen Ruyin was pondering what to do, she suddenly heard a series of light footsteps.

She observed her surroundings, then decisively climbed a tree to hide herself.

A short while later, someone came over from the fire carrying a torch, and it seemed that he was dragging something along with him.

Soon, Shen Ruyin recognized the person holding the torch and dragging someone as an "old acquaintance" she had seen when she first entered the secret realm—Senior Brother Wang, who was with Wei Linghua.

Judging from her clothes, Shen Ruyin, the disciple that Senior Brother Wang was dragging along, seemed to be a disciple of the Lieyang Palace, who was from the same sect as Senior Brother Wang.

Senior Brother Wang dragged the person over, casually threw him on the ground, and sneered: "Junior Brother Feng, why are you so smart? I didn't intend to touch anyone from our Lieyang Palace, but you insisted on coming along."

"If you do this, it will be very difficult for me to explain to my superiors when I go back."

Although he said that, Senior Brother Wang lightly kicked Junior Brother Feng with his foot: "You stay here obediently, and before we leave the secret realm, I will definitely give you a quick death."

Before leaving the secret realm?

Shen Ruyin was puzzled. Did Senior Brother Wang have some other plans?

Although it might not be the best way to put it, he had already taken the person down, so why did he wait until he was about to leave the secret realm to make his move?

Shen Ruyin waited until Senior Brother Wang left with the torch, and then she didn't go down to check again.

In just a short while, she had already seen several more people by the light of the flames.

Shen Ruyin quietly crept towards where Senior Brother Wang had come from, where Wei Linghua was serving food to Senior Brother Wang by the fire.

Shen Ruyin quietly took out a recording stone, and using the branches as cover, adjusted the angle and placed it in a suitable position. Before she could leave, she heard Wei Linghua speak.

"Senior Brother Wang, you just attacked your junior brother. Won't it be discovered when we get back?"

"Of course not," Senior Brother Wang swallowed the food in his mouth. "We'll split up and work separately. I'll leave my junior brother to you. I guarantee there won't be any problems when I get back."

"Leave it to me?" Wei Linghua was a little nervous, but not as flustered as expected. She quickly looked at Senior Brother Wang with tender affection, "If I can help Senior Brother Wang, I will do whatever you ask. But Senior Brother Wang, you must protect me!"

“If I don’t protect you, who else will I protect?” Senior Brother Wang laughed. “After the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner is refined, we will use their remaining flesh and blood to refine your Spirit Serpent Whip again.”

"The flesh and blood of a Foundation Establishment cultivator are many times better than those of an ordinary human. Your Spirit Serpent Whip might even reach a higher grade."

Upon hearing these words, Shen Ruyin finally understood why they had only knocked the person unconscious but hadn't killed them immediately.

The ghost artifact that Senior Brother Wang is going to forge has certain requirements. Once the forging begins, there must be enough living souls to fill it within a short period of time.

The number of people he took down was definitely not enough.

Shen Ruyin was temporarily relieved about the safety of those people.

She thought for a moment, took the photo stone from the tree, replaced it with another one, and then left the place, heading to the spot where she had just discovered many people.

You can't use sound transmission talismans to find people in this secret realm, so this Senior Brother Wang probably used other methods to lure these sect disciples here.

As Shen Ruyin was thinking, a signal flare, like a firework, shot into the sky.

Although only this area was visible, the fireworks in the night sky were conspicuous enough that anyone who saw them would surely wonder if someone was in danger.

Shen Ruyin suddenly realized why there were people from all sorts of sects lying here, but especially many from the major sects.

Independent cultivators rarely interact with others, but disciples from major sects, upon seeing such distress signals, would wonder if it was a fellow disciple or someone from a friendly sect in trouble, and would come to their aid.

Shen Ruyin immediately went to the outermost edge of the forest, intending to stop anyone who came after seeing the fireworks.

She was lucky; the people who came were dressed as disciples of the Biyun Palace.

"Senior brother, please wait a moment," Shen Ruyin appeared and called out to him somewhat abruptly.

The disciple from Biyun Palace stopped warily, looked at Shen Ruyin, and after carefully examining her, approached her with a friendly air, stopping at a distance that was neither too close nor too far: "Are you Xingluo, the junior sister from Po Nian Peak of the Supreme Sect?"

Shen Ruyin was taken aback, then smiled: "Senior brother, do you know me?"

After speaking, she looked him over carefully and found a familiar outline on his handsome face. Hesitantly, she asked, "Are you Senior Brother Jiang, a disciple of Palace Master Jiang of Biyun Palace?"

The disciple from Biyun Palace nodded: "It is I."

Okay, okay, this is indeed an acquaintance.

Shen Ruyin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called Senior Brother Jiang to hide over there.

Upon seeing her movement, Senior Brother Jiang quickly realized what was going on: "I just saw someone setting off fireworks over here as a distress signal. Junior Sister Xingluo, you deliberately stopped us here. Do you know something?"

Shen Ruyin nodded: "I have a recording stone, Senior Brother Jiang will know once he sees it."

When Senior Brother Jiang finished reading the contents of the recording stone and discovered that his own Biyun Palace disciples had also been knocked down, he couldn't sit still and wanted to immediately go and cause trouble for Senior Brother Wang and Wei Linghua.

Shen Ruyin quickly pulled him back: "Senior Brother Jiang, I know you are worried about your fellow disciples, but don't rush."

"I can't wake those people up no matter what I do. These two must have used some special method."

"Although I believe in your abilities, if you go straight up like this when the other side's situation is unclear, aren't you putting yourself in danger as well?"

"Furthermore, we need to find out from those two how our fellow Daoists can be awakened."

"Do you think they would be willing to talk, just based on you and me alone?"

Senior Brother Jiang asked, "Junior Sister Xingluo, what are your plans?"

“We should wait for a few more people,” Shen Ruyin replied. “It would be even better if we could wait for disciples from the Thousand Gold Sect.”

"They are medical cultivators, and they are best able to tell whether those two are telling the truth or not."

Senior Brother Jiang disagreed: "So we're just going to wait here like this instead of going to rescue our fellow cultivators first?"

"How do we defend it after we've been rescued?" Shen Ruyin raised a very practical question. "We can't contact any other fellow disciples, so we can only rely on luck. If we wait until it's time to leave the secret realm and no one else comes, we'll have to stay here and guard against those two villains."

"On the contrary, if we don't disturb them for the time being, those two villains will definitely send out distress signals again in order to gather enough people for the ritual."

"All we need to do is wait outside the forest and intercept any fellow Daoists who are attracted here."

As Shen Ruyin spoke, she tossed the recording stone in her hand: "With this thing here, and with the reputation of our sects as a foundation, there should be more people willing to listen to us say a few more words, right?"
