I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-382

"Thump! Thump!"

From the 'pustule' came a sound that sounded like a heartbeat. Meng Sipei was so frightened that she grabbed onto Jiang Beiran's sleeve.

Jiang Beiran couldn't help but roll his eyes."The Mystic Emperor has lost all his face because of you."

Realizing that she had made a fool of herself, Meng Sipei quickly retracted her hand and lowered her head."This place is too oppressive. Where is this place?"

"I'll explain to you later." Jiang Beiran took out a copper toad as he spoke." However, I have to remind you that you might die later."

Meng Sipei opened her mouth slightly and took a step back."Senior, what do you mean?"

"I don't have time to explain to you. I'm telling you because I hope you'll be prepared. If you're lucky, you might still be able to survive."After saying that, Jiang Beiran gestured for Meng Sipei, who was about to continue asking questions, to keep quiet.

"If you still want to have a chance to get out of here alive, then shut your mouth."

"Oh..." Meng Sipei nodded.

Looking around, Jiang Beiran could tell that this place was about the size of a football field. The walls and the ground were covered in what looked like insect eggs.

'But if it's an egg…I shouldn't have been unable to recognize what kind of insect egg it was. Could it be an insect unique to a foreign race?'

Jiang Beiran, who had been struck by a rare intellectual blind spot, was very interested in these eggs. Unfortunately, time was running out and he had no time to study them.

"Hu…"

It had to be said that the pressure in the self-barrier was indeed not small. Otherwise, Meng Sipei, who was in the Mystic Royal Realm, would not be so frightened by the heartbeat.

Looking straight ahead, Jiang Beiran saw a dried corpse.

"This is you, right?" Jiang Beiran asked the young man beside him.

Although the corpse tied to the pillar was beyond recognition, the young man still nodded without hesitation and said,"Yes... It's me."

'Sacrificing an entire village just to find him…Such a vicious sacrificial method should be Gu feeding.'

Since Gu worms were rejected by most cultivators and they did not hesitate to cooperate to produce it, it was because it did have many extremely evil branches. Just hearing about it made one's scalp go numb.

Jiang Beiran took out a small knife from his Cosmos Ring and stepped forward to draw a cut on the dried corpse's chest.

The moment her chest was cut open, Meng Sipei, who was standing behind Jiang Beiran, quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Because there were all kinds of disgusting Gu worms inside.

The awakened Gu worms immediately turned to look at Jiang Beiran, all kinds of tentacles waving wildly, as if they were collecting information about Jiang Beiran.

"Sorry for disturbing your rest."Jiang Beiran said with a smile, then reached his hand into the Gu swarm.

Seeing this, Meng Sipei felt a little breathless.

After confirming the familiar scent on Jiang Beiran's body, the Gu horde did not launch an attack. Instead, they allowed Jiang Beiran to reach his hand in.

After searching through the Gu swarm for a while, Jiang Beiran found what he was looking for.

Then, with a click, Jiang Beiran slowly pulled his hand out. In his hand was a purple heart that was still beating.

The heart was the medium of sacrifice and the key to breaking the second relic. Jiang Beiran's next step was to purify it.

'Is there an array formation supported by the altar…No wonder he was so powerful.

With a sigh, Jiang Beiran took out a piece of sheepskin covered in incantations and wrapped it around the purple heart. Just as Jiang Beiran was about to roast it with yellow paper or soak it in talisman water, his mental power suddenly shook.

"He's here."

" What's here?!" Meng Sipei, who was extremely nervous at the moment, asked hurriedly.

"The owner of this space helped me block him."

Before Meng Sipei could ask who the owner was, a figure rushed in from outside.

Feeling the terrifying pressure, Meng Sipei instantly understood why her senior said that she might die. It was because the person who came…

It was a mystic sect!

But now that things had come to this, Meng Sipei knew that she had no way out. She took out a spiritual pill burning with golden flames from her Qian Kun Ring and swallowed it.

"Mute!"

With a phoenix cry, Meng Sipei turned into a golden phoenix and rushed toward the figure.

However, the figure just laughed disdainfully and slapped Meng Sipei.

However, it was this seemingly ordinary palm strike that directly turned Meng Sipei, who was in her phoenix form, into golden flames that filled the sky.

" The power of the Mystic Sect is so terrifying!?'

Jiang Beiran was a little surprised to see Meng Sipei being killed in an instant.

However, in the next second, the golden flames that filled the sky condensed again and turned into a phoenix that rushed towards the mysterious sect.

"You're courting death!"

Xuan Zong shouted and slapped Meng Sipei again. But this time, before she could be scattered, Meng Sipei turned into a flame and dodged the attack. At the same time, she wrapped around Xuan Zong's body and tried to tie him up.

However, Xuan Zong only shook his Xuan Qi and scattered the fire rope.

On the ground, Jiang Beiran had no time to enjoy the intense battle. He was taking out a piece of yellow paper and lighting it up. At the same time, he took out a Ruyi stick and conjured a purple charcoal.

Xuan Zong's eyes widened when he saw the purple charcoal.

"Get lost!"

Ya Qing's Celestial Chi exploded with all his might. Xuan Zong raised his right hand and sucked all the golden flames that were scattered all over the place.

"Mute!"
