Chapter 172 Chapter 172: Harvested Souls, the Weirdness of the Secret Realm
They stood under the tree, waiting for the person Lin Xiaoxiao mentioned to help them.

After a long while, Li Wan'er whispered, "Xiaoxiao, the monster will be here soon. Should we stay here?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was also a little uncertain and looked at her master.

Meng Chen's eyes were stern, and he said coldly: "Don't use your ignorance to speculate on me."

Lin Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. How could she not believe in her master when others didn't? She deserved to die for having even a little doubt just now.

Li Wan'er and the other two cultivators still had looks of disbelief on their faces. Although Lin Xiaoxiao was powerful, they were just standing on the side of the road now. Were they ready to confront the group of monsters head-on?

Meng Chen was too lazy to pay attention to them. With the protection of the spatial laws, the monsters couldn't see them at all.

At this time, Ji Zhiyin and Wen Ling, who had run far away, turned around and looked back. Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao and the others had not caught up with them, their faces were full of mockery.

Ji Zhiyin snorted coldly: "Lin Xiaoxiao is still too arrogant and too self-willed. She actually dared to stay there to resist the monster."

Wen Ling didn't say anything, probably to maintain her image of being gentle and caring.

At this time, they suddenly saw that the monsters were rushing straight towards them without any signs of injury, which meant that Lin Xiaoxiao did not help them stop the monsters at all!
"Ah! Lin Xiaoxiao, why didn't those monsters attack Lin Xiaoxiao?" Ji Zhiyin was furious.

His companions around him also had livid faces, full of indignation.

But they soon had no time to shout or curse. After all, the monster was much faster than them, and there were birds following them in the sky, so it was difficult for them to escape.

Lin Xiaoxiao's side seemed to be living a peaceful and tranquil life. Li Wan'er and two fellow disciples looked at the monsters rushing towards them in horror, and watched anxiously as the monsters rushed past them until they ran away.

"This...what's going on?" Li Wan'er looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and Meng Chen beside her blankly.

Meng Chen remained indifferent and replied indifferently: "It doesn't matter if your realm is too low to understand. Just read more and ask less."

Li Wan'er and the other two monks were filled with shame. The remark was obviously directed at them, referring to the very thing they had just doubted him about.

Li Wan'er was the first to bow and greet him: "I don't know who you are, senior. Please tell me. After we get out, we will report to the sect and reward you handsomely!"

Meng Chen waved his hand: "I don't like it."

Li Wan'er's expression froze. She was already so humble, how come this guy was even more arrogant than Lin Xiaoxiao?

The space barrier was removed, and Meng Chen took Lin Xiaoxiao and the others to follow the trail of the group of monsters.

Li Wan'er deliberately fell behind, and also pulled Lin Xiaoxiao behind.

Lin Xiaoxiao knew that he had something to say, so she just fell behind.

After Meng Chen and the two Zixiao Sect disciples walked to the front, Li Wan'er whispered, "Xiaoxiao, who is this guy? He is even more arrogant than you."

Lin Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed: "I was young and frivolous before, and I have apologized to you."

Li Wan'er frowned slightly. Her focus was not here, but she wanted to know Meng Chen's identity.

"Xiaoxiao, you know, that's not what I meant." Li Wan'er said.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Meng Chen who was walking in front of her and shook her head: "I can't tell you this. You will know it later. Anyway, just follow him."

Li Wan'er was itching to ask, but it would be impolite to ask again. During the half-day journey, they saw many corpses of Zixiao Sect disciples along the way, as well as those of other sects, but relatively few.

Moreover, those monsters had no intention of letting them go and seemed to be still chasing them.

Meng Chen had known about this for a long time. This might have been a massacre with ulterior motives! When Lin Xiaoxiao asked about the situation of the monster, Meng Chen told her about it.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Wan'er were all shocked. They thought it was a simple trial, but it turned out to be a conspiracy!
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the mutilated corpses around her and asked in confusion: "But what's the point? We are just some young cultivators in the Qi training stage, why are you slaughtering us?"

Li Wan'er also had a puzzled look on her face: "Yes! It seems that there is no point in killing little cultivators like us..."

Meng Chen was somewhat speechless. They knew their own worth. As for what they wanted, their bodies were still there, their essence and blood had not been taken away, so they only had their souls.

Meng Chen took a few quick glances and saw that the souls of these people had been taken away, leaving only their broken bodies.

Meng Chen felt that he had some experience in collecting souls. If he really faced the mastermind behind the massacre of these cultivators, it would not be impossible to take out his Human Emperor Flag and fight him...

Their speed was not fast, but after those cultivators were entangled by the monsters, their escape speed became even slower. Now Meng Chen and the others could see them from the back.

Not only the Zixiao Sect, but people from the other eight sects were also there, and they seemed to have formed some small group and were retreating towards Fox Yin Mountain, the highest mountain in the secret realm.

Foxyin Mountain has steep terrain, with many cliffs and only some shrubs on top. If the disciples of various sects hide in high places, they can rely on the terrain to slowly fight against the monsters.

This is probably the reason why they all agreed to evacuate there.

Li Wan'er felt very upset when she saw the disciples of Zixiao Sect fighting with those monsters.

After all, she is not like Meng Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao. She is not from the Zixiao Sect. She has deep feelings for the Zixiao Sect.

Seeing her sad look, Lin Xiaoxiao whispered to comfort her: "Okay, there are so many of them, they won't suffer any loss for a while, and even if you go, it will be useless and you can't help."

Li Wan'er's face was filled with sorrow and she felt extremely bitter in her heart.

On the mountain, Wen Ling, who was hiding behind his senior brothers and sisters, saw Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Wan'er watching the show in the distance, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Sister Xiaoxiao, are you here to save us? Senior Sister Xiaoxiao!" she shouted.

The disciples of Zixiao Sect followed her gaze and saw Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Wan'er.

They had originally planned to leave Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Wan'er behind to cover their retreat, but they failed and are now still standing far away, which made them extremely angry.

"Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Wan'er! What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at us?"

Wen Ling's face was full of tears. She said in disbelief, "Senior Sister Xiaoxiao, Senior Sister Wan'er, is this true? Are you really here to laugh at us?"

Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Wan'er just felt as disgusting as if they had eaten a fly.

It seemed like a sin for them just to watch from a distance. The key point was that if they shouted like that, those monsters would definitely notice the situation here!

Li Wan'er gnashed her teeth and said, "Damn it, they want to kill us!"
