Chapter 1135

After clearing the wind and sand, one could see the altar.

According to orientation, the blood of a woman with a Frost Constitution, a man with a Blazing Sun Constitution, and the Long Huang must be infused respectively.

Then we can open up our tribe."

"Good!"

Hearing this, Cheng Jiao's face lit up with joy, and he immediately waved his hand.

The people of Despair Shanzhuang, led by experts from every direction, rushed into this stretch of sand following Miss Xiao Li's instructions.

A distance of three hundred paces, even though this was a stretch of desert.

For the experts of this Despair Shanzhuang, in theory it was only a matter of one sprint to reach it.

Moreover, opening the Lu Li Tribe would be a great merit in itself.

Therefore, these experts of Despair Shanzhuang were all scrambling to be first.

Unexpectedly, after only a hundred-odd paces, someone suddenly cried out in alarm,

"Ah… what's going on?"

Following the sound, the crowd saw that half of that person's body had been wrapped in the yellow sand.

They all found it strange. After all, those who dared to step forward in the first batch to snatch the credit were all top experts of the moment.

At the very least, their lightness skills were more than passable.

Not to mention treading snow without a trace, but they shouldn't have sunk into this yellow sand!

Even if this stretch of yellow sand were quicksand, it shouldn't be possible!

"Ah…"

Just as the crowd was puzzled, most of the experts who had run a hundred paces began to cry out in alarm.

Looking around, they saw that all of them, just like that person, had half their bodies wrapped in yellow sand.

"What on earth is going on?"

Master Ban could no longer sit still at this point. Among those experts who had stepped forward in the first batch, quite a few were also Mohist disciples.

Never expecting them to sink into this yellow sand, the old man immediately widened his eyes and questioned Miss Xiao Li.

Although the other experts from every direction said nothing, they all looked over with unfriendly expressions.

If Hearing Gai Nie hadn't been blocking right in front of Miss Xiao Li, these people's gazes alone could have killed her.

"You all also know that the Lu Li Tribe is sealed.

Since it is sealed, could it really be this simple?"

Miss Xiao Li had been secretly delighted in her heart, watching these villains who had been threatening her fall into the yellow sand, their burial only a matter of time.

But when Master Ban and the others looked over, she too felt a chill run down her spine.

Pressing close behind Hearing Gai Nie, she explained in a small voice.

"Then why didn't you say so earlier!"

Master Ban was furious beyond measure, raised his palm, and prepared to teach Miss Xiao Li a lesson.

"Enough!"

Cheng Jiao saw that the situation was going wrong. If he really let Hearing Gai Nie and Master Ban have a showdown here, wouldn't his matter of going to the Lu Li Tribe to seek the Chi You Demonic Treasure be delayed?

Though displeased in his heart, he still spoke up to stop them.

Once he spoke, Master Ban and the other experts of Despair Shanzhuang all dared to be angry but not to voice it.

"Little girl, tell us again — besides this quicksand trap, what other dangers are there?"

Cheng Jiao looked at the people of Despair Shanzhuang screaming on the sand. No matter how they struggled, it was useless; they could only be swallowed bit by bit.

Though displeased in his heart, he still patiently asked Miss Xiao Li.

"This is a quicksand trap. Those who have not reached the Earthly Immortal Realm cannot cross it.

I will never reach the Earthly Immortal Realm in my life, so I also don't know what other dangerous traps there are beyond this quicksand trap."

Miss Xiao Li caught the displeasure in Cheng Jiao's tone, so she didn't dare hide anything and could only speak truthfully.

"What? You don't know what's ahead? Who are you trying to fool?"

Master Ban said indignantly.

Just before those Mohist disciples were buried, they had been wailing ceaselessly, begging Master Ban to rescue them.

But Master Ban didn't know the details of this quicksand trap, and could only watch in anguish as they were buried alive by the yellow sand.

Hearing Miss Xiao Li's explanation now, his anger naturally had nowhere to vent — meaning, you only mention a trap after we've stumbled into one?

Just how many lives must we use to fill them?

"I really don't know…"

Miss Xiao Li also retorted,

"I'm only at the Grand Master cultivation realm; I'm a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Without reaching the Earthly Immortal Realm, I can't cross this quicksand trap, so how would I know what else lies ahead?"

These words did seem perfectly reasonable.

But how could these experts of Despair Shanzhuang bring themselves to accept it?

"Master, this little girl is clearly doing it on purpose."

At this moment, a burly expert wearing an eyepatch over his left eye could no longer hold back and spoke up,

"I suggest handing her over to our Chi You Hall. I can definitely make her spill the truth."

So this person was none other than Tian Hu, the hall master of the Farmer's Chi You Hall and the younger brother of the former Xia Kui Tian Meng!

Among those just swallowed by the quicksand trap were also several capable hands of Chi You Hall.

At this moment, Tian Hu's heart was bleeding, and hearing Miss Xiao Li's tone, he could no longer hold back.

Miss Xiao Li was terrified. During the time Hearing Gai Nie was away, she had been sent to the Chiyou Hall and thoroughly interrogated.

Tian Hu was a man who would stop at nothing.

His methods of torture were also extremely inhumane.

If Liu Ruofei had not known that Miss Xiao Li was important, and that the Shanzhuang Master would not allow her to die before the Lu Li Tribe was found,

Tian Hu would have long since tortured Miss Xiao Li to the point of collapse.

Even so, the mere thought of her experience in the Chiyou Hall made Miss Xiao Li shiver.

Hearing Tian Hu's aggressive words at this moment, Miss Xiao Li could not help but grab Hearing Gai Nie's arm.

Feeling Miss Xiao Li trembling all over, Hearing Gai Nie was also displeased.

Before, when he had left and Miss Xiao Li had been tortured, it had already made Hearing Gai Nie extremely dissatisfied.

Three days ago, outside the wasteland, the Despair Shanzhuang had killed many innocent martial artists, which further fueled the anger in Hearing Gai Nie's heart.

Now Tian Hu was about to say that Miss Xiao Li should continue to be tortured for a confession.

Hearing Gai Nie could no longer hold back. With a clang, he actually drew the Yuan Hong Sword in front of everyone,

"If you want to take Miss Xiao Li away, you must first defeat the sword in my hand."

"You think I wouldn't dare?"

Tian Hu, however, did not think Hearing Gai Nie was anything remarkable. He immediately shook the Hupo Sword at his waist, truly preparing to make a move.

"Enough!"

Cheng Jiao was also furious in his heart, but before the Lu Li Tribe was found, a full-blown clash with Hearing Gai Nie was hardly wise.

After all, only he understood how terrifying Hearing Gai Nie truly was.

On the surface, Hearing Gai Nie was merely a swordsman who had just entered the Heavenly Being Realm, with passable strength.

In reality, Hearing Gai Nie's Sword Heart had already far surpassed Cheng Jiao's imagination.

If he truly clashed with Hearing Gai Nie now, it would only delay his own opportunity to find the Lu Li Tribe.

At this point, Cheng Jiao spoke up to stop them once more,

"Before the Lu Li Tribe is found, if any of you speak out of turn again, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

The moment these words were spoken, the expressions of all the martial artists, including Tian Hu and Master Ban, changed drastically.

Tian Hu did not dare show the slightest dissatisfaction, turning his head aside and no longer looking toward Hearing Gai Nie's side.

Only after seeing that he had temporarily subdued these unruly subordinates did Cheng Jiao turn to Miss Xiao Li and ask,

"Little girl, I will not send you back to the Chiyou Hall.

But you must tell the truth. What other dangers does this sandy land hold?

If my people suddenly encounter some mishap again,

I'm afraid by then, it will be very hard for me to stop them from making trouble for you."
