Chapter 292: Chapter 292

If they hadn’t been subdued by Wen Zhixing, they might have been killed on the spot just now.

"Thank you, Master..."

Yun Xinyue also clasped her hands and placed them before her chest.

Si Nanyan didn’t know Liu Qingxuan and wasn’t as agitated, merely speaking quietly.

Feng Ruoli and Yun Xinyue exchanged glances and stood up as well.

Time ticked by, second by second.

In a secret chamber, Wen Miner was fully immersed in comprehending the Fortune Divine Devil Skill.

Sweat beaded her forehead.

The difficulty of cultivating the Fortune Divine Devil Skill was greater than she had imagined.

After so many days, she had only grasped a part of it. To truly master it, there was still a long way to go.

This made Wen Miner somewhat anxious. She feared running out of time.

There’s a saying, "What you fear is what you get."

The next moment, the door of the secret chamber was forcibly opened.

Wen Miner was startled.

A slightly weary voice resounded, and a slender figure stepped inside.

Seeing the arrival, Wen Miner’s heart instantly flashed with panic. Now that her cultivation skill was incomplete, she absolutely didn’t want to meet Si Nanyan. The Beast Ceation Skill might deceive others, but it was easy for Feng Ruoli to see through it. After all, the Beast Ceation Skill was all too familiar to her.

As expected, as soon as Feng Ruoli approached, her expression gradually changed. Especially her eyes, which flickered with a hint of heartache.

"Master... what’s wrong?"

Though Wen Miner knew she might have been exposed, she still forced herself to speak. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovelfire.net

"Miner, you... where is Senior Sister Ning Shan..."

Feng Ruoli merely shook her head and sighed in response.

Hearing this, Wen Miner’s body stiffened instantly.

As she feared. She had been exposed.

"Senior Sister Ning Shan..." Wen Miner took a deep breath, paused for a moment, then said, "She’s dead. I killed her."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ruoli’s expression turned somewhat despondent, though she had already anticipated this.

"Master, just kill me."

Wen Miner reached behind her head and tugged, pulling off a thin cord that subtly glowed with a golden light.

Ning Shan’s skin disguise split open, revealing her true appearance.

The plan had failed. She didn’t want to run anymore. It was over. This was mainly because, in this secret chamber, she was no match for Feng Ruoli. Death was the only path left.

"Forget it, you may go."

Feng Ruoli looked at Wen Miner’s somewhat obstinate expression but showed no intention of making a move.

Wen Zhixing had given her a pardon. Originally, she had chosen Ning Shan. But Ning Shan was dead... Though Wen Miner was an undercover agent from the Righteous Sun Sect, she was still Feng Ruoli’s direct disciple. Wonderous Palace had now been destroyed. And she herself had become Wen Zhixing’s servant. Since that was the case, then so be it.

Feng Ruoli shook her head, turned, and walked out.

Watching Feng Ruoli leave, Wen Miner’s face was filled with astonishment. She didn’t understand. Feng Ruoli had actually let her go just like that. She had not only betrayed her, betrayed Wonderous Palace, but also killed her own senior sister, and yet Feng Ruoli had let her go. Wen Miner could not have expected such an outcome. She wanted to chase after her and ask what was going on but forced herself to refrain, primarily because she feared Feng Ruoli might change her mind.

Once Feng Ruoli had left for good, Wen Miner stepped out of the secret chamber.

As soon as she emerged, she caught the strong scent of blood.

Wen Miner turned her head toward a nearby room. From afar, she saw blood flowing across the floor from inside the room. The blood was still a vivid red. Clearly, the death had not occurred long ago. And yet Feng Ruoli had just left the place as if she hadn’t seen it.

In the void not far away, the sound of fighting could still be heard. It was an elder from Wonderous Palace. He was currently being besieged by Yun Xinyue and Si Nanyan.

Soon, the elder let out an unwilling cry before they jointly extinguished his divine soul.

Both his body and spirit were destroyed.

"What... exactly is happening?"

Wen Miner’s eyes narrowed. She sensed an ominous atmosphere. Had they gone mad? Why were they attacking their own people?

Unable to help herself, Wen Miner began to investigate. What she saw was one corpse after another of Wonderous Palace disciples.

After witnessing all this, Wen Miner was utterly dumbfounded. She had obtained some information from those still-living furnaces. But she genuinely couldn’t comprehend it. She was just in seclusion, and suddenly, Wonderous Palace underwent a drastic change.

Just then, her Message Jade Talisman suddenly vibrated.

[Wonderous Palace has been successfully toppled.]

[Disciples of the Righteous Sun Sect, return immediately.]

The sender of the message was Bai Luqiu.

Wen Miner was completely bewildered. She had planned to continue her undercover work by Feng Ruoli’s side. Why had everything ended so mysteriously?

Wen Miner quickly sent a message to Bai Luqiu, wanting to know the full story.

「Meanwhile, elsewhere.」

Within the Righteous Sun Sect, an elder in a fiery red Daoist robe was blocked outside the Righteous Sun Sect. The old man, his hair and beard entirely white, squinted. His frame was lean, but his eyes were sharp and penetrating, as if divine light burned within them.

"Esteemed Senior, may I ask what important business brings you to our Righteous Sun Sect?"

The disciple guarding the sect gate didn’t dare to be negligent upon seeing the newcomer. This old man clearly wasn’t ordinary.

"I am Xiang Yanwen, an Elder from the Purple Cloud Divine Sect, here to visit the Sect Master of the Righteous Sun Sect. Please announce my visit."
