After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 122 Crimson Jade Bracelet

After collecting the tea leaves, the group dispersed to search for any other treasures.

Chu Wenqing, with his buttocks sticking out, was searching excitedly among the grass when suddenly he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He looked up and his pupils contracted sharply.

"I rely on it!"

Su Luo and the other two were drawn to his scream and rushed over. Before they could ask anything, they saw two people lying in the thick grass, who looked like cultivators from the sect.

Feng Xiyue went over to check first, then shook her head with a grim face, "The person was already dead, there was a big hole in his chest, and his heart and liver were eaten."

Chu Wenqing gasped, "Hiss~ This Hidden Yin Serpent really eats hearts and livers!"

Luckily, he was quick-witted and didn't get caught!

Song Qiao glanced at the corpse but quickly looked away, unable to bear to look any longer; his good mood from just moments before had vanished.

Su Luo pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

As expected. A treacherous, cunning, and intelligent monster like the Hidden Serpent would definitely treat people as food supplies if it hid them in its caves; nine out of ten people captured there would not survive.

Thinking of this, Su Luo used her divine sense to check on the Hidden Yin Serpent in another cave. Seeing that it was still unconscious, a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.

Feng Xiyue sighed, took a straw mat from her storage bag and covered the corpse with it. Then she stood up and said slowly, "For now, we can only find something to cover them up. We'll bury them when the fog clears up tomorrow morning. Consider it a good deed."

This is all she can do.

There's nothing that can be done about it! Since ancient times, countless cultivators have perished in secret realms while seeking opportunities, never to emerge again. Yet, even so, countless others continue to flock to them. This is because the more dangerous the secret realm, the greater the potential reward. Thus, these two cultivators entered the secret realm for treasure, but unfortunately, they were devoured by the Hidden Yin Serpent—a fateful ordeal for them.

The three nodded in unison, "Okay."

After this incident, the four continued their search for treasure, eventually taking everything they could from the entire cave. Before leaving, they also took all the Demon-Scorching Stones with them.

The four returned to the original cave. Not tired, they each found a place to sit down and examine the treasures they had just obtained.

Su Luo leaned against a boulder, happily organizing the supplies in her storage bag. As she sorted through them, she suddenly noticed an exquisite box. She took it out, opened it, and immediately saw a blood-red jade bracelet.

Su Luo was slightly taken aback, then silently took out the jade bracelet and examined it carefully.

The jade bracelet was clearly of very good quality, but its blood-red color made it appear eerie and alluring, and when you picked it up, it seemed as if blood was flowing inside.

However, she didn't remember receiving this jade bracelet...

Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, Su Luo noticed a small note in the box. When she finally saw the words on the note, she couldn't help but gasp.

The note read:

"Su Luo, this jade bracelet is a treasure I made myself. I was afraid you would dislike it, so I didn't tell you and secretly put it in your storage bag. In addition, this jade bracelet can protect you from cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage and can also reflect damage, severely injuring the opponent. I hope it can protect you for me. If you are willing, I hope you can wear it and wait for me to come back. At that time, I want to tell you my feelings."

Do you like it?

Su Luo inadvertently recalled the burning gaze the boy had given her, pursed her lips, and felt a ripple of emotion stir within her.

She had never liked anyone before, and in her previous life, she was harassed by a madman and had no chance to meet other men. Even so, she could see that Lin Ji treated her differently. However, she always chose to ignore it and remained indifferent to Lin Ji, but even so, she could not stop the boy from getting closer to her.

No one had ever looked at her so passionately, needed her so much, as if she were the only one in their hearts and eyes. This feeling of being treated as the only one left her bewildered, yet also intoxicated her...

Su Luo lowered her eyes to examine the jade bracelet. After an unknown amount of time, she let out a long sigh, a slight smile playing on her lips, and put the jade bracelet on her wrist.

Perhaps she could give it a try. After all, this life is different; now she has the ability, the resources, and the companions—everything is moving in a positive direction…

After organizing her thoughts, Su Luo sat down cross-legged in a good mood, then took out the talisman paper and placed it on the boulder to start drawing talismans, preparing for tomorrow's action.

While she was focused on drawing the talisman, she didn't notice that the jade bracelet on her wrist suddenly changed. The blood inside the bracelet began to flow slowly, and wherever the blood flowed, the bracelet became more translucent, reflecting the girl's quiet and focused profile.

And just a moment ago, in the Demon Realm Palace.

The atmosphere here was cold and solemn. All the prominent figures in the Demon Realm knelt on one knee on either side, not daring to raise their heads. Cang Yan then led Lu Chuan and his son forward, kicked them to the ground, and then ordered the demon soldiers to press them down.

Cang Yan turned around and respectfully bowed to the young man on the high seat. "Demon Lord, the traitors Lu Chuan and Lu Yan have been captured. In addition, their remaining subordinates have been imprisoned in the Demon Prison, awaiting their fate."

Lin Ji leaned back in his seat, waved to Cang Yan, and after Cang Yan left, he stared at Lu Chuan with an unfriendly look. Then he smiled, a murderous desire flashing in his eyes.

"Old man, you're really good at hiding. So many people almost couldn't catch you."

Ever since Lu Chuan and Lu Yan fled, Cang Yan has led hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers from the Demon Realm to search and pursue them. However, Lu Chuan is extremely cunning. Even with the Demon Realm under lockdown and the entire city on high alert, and even though Cang Yan's men include skilled trackers, the father and son have managed to evade them several times.

Lin Ji waited for two days and then lost patience. Just as he was about to make his move, Lu Chuan and his son were betrayed by their trusted subordinates. As a result, Cang Yan finally led his men to capture Lu Chuan and his son and brought them over.

At this moment, Lu Chuan was no longer the high and mighty Right Protector. He was covered in wounds, his hair and clothes were filthy, and he looked extremely disheveled, lying humiliated on the ground.

Lu Yan, standing to the side, was in a similar state, equally disheveled. His eyes were filled with panic, and his mind was frantically trying to figure out how to survive.

He's so young! He doesn't want to die!

Upon hearing Lin Ji's words, Lu Chuan raised his eyes and stared intently at Lin Ji in his seat, his eyes filled with bone-deep hatred.

It's laughable that Lu Chuan, who enjoyed power and influence for so many years, has now lost everything due to a single misstep. He's been forced into hiding like a rat by a former demon king's bastard whom he despised, and in the end, he was even betrayed by his own confidant!

Lu Chuan knew he was definitely not going to survive, but even in death, he would not let this bastard have an easy time!

Lu Chuan scoffed coldly, his voice hoarse, "I admit defeat. History is written by the victors, and I concede. But how long can you be so smug? You're just a bastard whom the former Demon Lord refused to acknowledge, yet you've managed to sit on this Demon Lord's throne. Heh, it seems the Demon Realm is truly declining..."

Almost as soon as Lu Chuan finished speaking, a suffocating pressure suddenly struck, pressing the man to the ground. The powerful and murderous pressure made it impossible for Lu Chuan to lift his body, and he continued to sink into the ground.

Lu Chuan felt his meridians rupture and his internal organs were about to burst. He couldn't help but howl in pain. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with a lot of internal organ residue.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh! Pfft! Heh... Heh..."

The atmosphere in the hall instantly turned icy cold, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines at the sight of Lu Chuan's miserable state.
