I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 187 Prey? Hunter!

"You mean, the Lord of Tianshan exists to protect the Great Salvation Array?"

Fei Xi sat upright on the stool, a strange expression on her face as if she had just heard a ridiculous story.

Qiu Shuying, sitting opposite her, seemed amused by her expression and clutched her stomach, laughing uncontrollably.

"Oh dear, little sister, do you perhaps want me to let Bian Yuan off the hook? After all, if the rumors are true, it could be disastrous if he were to die unexpectedly~"

"Throughout history, those in power have always been fond of playing the trick of 'being ordained by Heaven and enjoying eternal life.' They either claim to be the spokesperson of God or falsely assert that their position is bestowed by Heaven. It's not surprising that someone now claims to be a savior. What I find strange is that if an ordinary person were like Peak Master Bian, being pierced through the heart by a sword would surely die. But just now in the dungeon, I saw that although Peak Master Bian was seriously injured, his injuries were clearly not fatal to him. I have been practicing medicine with my master since childhood and have never seen such a illogical situation. Could it be that there are truly divine or supernatural means in this world?"

"Oh, so what? Whether he's a god or an immortal, he's still in my hands."

The gloom on Qiu Shuying's face vanished in an instant, so quickly that Fei Xi almost thought she was seeing things.

The next second, the unpredictable person in front of her stepped forward and gently touched Fei Xi's still somewhat swollen right cheek.

"Does your face still hurt? Sister's words have truly touched my heart. All those doomsday rumors are nothing but lies used to fool those ignorant people."

With a smile playing on her lips, Qiu Shuying abruptly changed the subject, straightening her posture and instantly transforming into the righteous and awe-inspiring Elder Qiu:

"However, there are indeed many strange things about this Tianshan Mountain. I, as your elder sister, only want to act on behalf of Heaven and seek justice for those innocent people who have been deceived. You must help me, younger sister, to obtain the treasure of Tianshan Mountain that controls people's hearts and save the world."

"Thankfully, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Fei Xi lowered her head to avoid Qiu Shuying's hand and replied softly.

Her face was contorted with worry, and she seemed lost in thought, not giving a definite answer to the person in front of her.

As if guessing what she was thinking, Qiu Shuying took a step closer, lifted Fei Xi's chin, and looked directly into her eyes, revealing her true feelings:

“Good sister, if you are obedient, I will not easily lay a hand on you again. I will arrange everything you ask for tomorrow. You should repay my kindness and not let me down.”

Fei Xi's lips parted slightly, and she finally bit her lower lip, as if making up her mind:

"Alright, as long as you don't betray the martial arts world, I will do my best to persuade Peak Master Bian to hand over the items. I hope you can keep your promise."

"Of course, tomorrow I will grant my wish."

Hearing Qiu Shuying's promise, Fei Xi felt relieved and forced a smile, but it was an unhappy, bitter smile.

Qiu Shuying smiled enigmatically, completely unconcerned about Fei Xi's dilemma.

The two, harboring ulterior motives, chatted for a while about medicine. Both being experts in this field, they immediately felt a sense of regret for not having met sooner.

The banquet ended only when the food had gone cold, with an agreement to meet again the next day.

Fei Xi returned to her room, and soon after, several masked men brought her some toiletries.

After getting ready, Fei Xi yawned, got into bed, and seemed to fall asleep.

With her eyes closed, Fei Xi finally let herself reveal her true emotions.

She remained expressionless as she pondered what Qiu Shuying intended to do through her the next day.

Qiu Shuying took all her belongings, seemingly confident that she wouldn't turn around and demand them back.

She had just said that she would get her wish tomorrow, but based on her understanding of Qiu Shuying, the other party would never get the Tianbao Flower for her so easily.

As Fei Xi reviewed the day's events in her mind, she suddenly recalled a detail.

Why did that man named Wu Liu choose to betray us today?

In the Death Corridor, the old man nearly killed Qiu Shuying with a single palm strike.

At that time, a natural disaster struck, and the old man was unable to finish her off in his attempt to save her, so they were unsure whether Qiu Shuying was dead or alive.

Afterwards, at her request, Brother Shen went to look for Qiu Shuying's "body," but found nothing.

Therefore, although there were some surprises today, Fei Xi was not too surprised when she saw Qiu Shuying appear in front of her.

Although the other party was not dead, Fei Xi could tell without taking her pulse that Qiu Shuying's injuries would not heal much in a short time.

But Fei Xi knew that even though Qiu Shuying was seriously injured, she was not someone to be underestimated.

Qiu Shuying is skilled in martial arts and is adept at bewitching people and using poison.

In her previous life, the bottle of medicine that Cui Tao gave her, which caused people to lose all their internal energy, was Qiu Shuying's masterpiece.

She later improved upon this medicine...

Hmm? A thought flashed through her mind, and Fei Xi clenched her hands tightly.

She probably knew the reason!

The fifth and sixth men probably realized that Qiu Shuying was seriously injured and that she had just escaped back to the main camp after going through many hardships, so she must have very little left to protect herself.

Perhaps they were misled by this, mistakenly believing that Qiu Shuying no longer had the drugs that caused her to lose all her internal energy, which is why they took a desperate gamble and wanted to kill Qiu Shuying in order to gain their freedom.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Shuying had a sleeping potion on her, which easily drugged them and then turned the tables and killed them.

The drug that incapacitated the fifth and sixth men was very likely Qiu Shuying's last remaining stock.

Based on Fei Xi's understanding of Qiu Shuying's personality, the other party would certainly not allow herself to be completely without any trump cards.

To make a medicine that depletes one's internal energy, one must have a specific ingredient.

This medicinal ingredient is something that is most commonly found in the country of Us.

That is Qiu Shuying's real goal tomorrow, under the pretext of obtaining the Tianbao Flower.

As Fei Xi was pondering what to do tomorrow, she suddenly caught a familiar scent.

The consciousness had just unearthed the specific information about the taste from some obscure corner, but before it could be transmitted to the brain, it went on strike.

On the luxurious bed, a soft pearlescent sheen gently caressed the tranquil sleeping face.

Like a beautiful dream from which one cannot wake, a faint sweet fragrance permeates the heart and soul.

Confirming that the sleeping person wouldn't wake up, a pair of trembling hands reached out towards the person on the bed.

……

In the woods, a campfire was burning brightly, and a young man and woman sat in front of it.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, half-reclining on the man's lap as if asleep. She was covered with a light blue cloak, her fair face framed by slightly furrowed brows, as if disturbed by a nightmare. Her bright, clear eyes suddenly snapped open.

"Senior brother, I don't understand. Why must we create the Eight Great Families to keep that great formation running? Just tell everyone directly, and let everyone work together. Even if it's not to save the world, it's to save ourselves."

"Who would think it's wrong to save themselves?"

The young couple were Mu Qingfeng and Ji Zhongxuan.

After reviving Lian Duhan, Bao Yi Zhenjun, in order to awaken Lian Duhan's will to live, took the initiative to tell them the origin of the Lord of Tianshan and assure them that Senior Bian would be alright.

However, Lian Duhan's injuries could not be delayed, and Mu Qingfeng and the other person were worried about their senior sister.

Therefore, after a short rest, Bao Yi Zhenjun took Shi Shu and Lian Duhan back to Tianshan, parting ways with Mu Qingfeng.

Remembering the words of Bao Yi Zhenjun, Mu Qingfeng couldn't sleep any longer. She simply sat up straight, her clear eyes staring intently at Ji Zhongxuan, with an air of determination that she wouldn't give up until he gave her an answer.

"This conclusion should be based on calculations by E'ai using human history as a blueprint. If we rely on human beings' own awareness, we will surely perish."

What is Erai?

"The things that the Heavenly Mountain Ancestor brought here. Little Feng, the matter of the great formation is far more complicated than Senior Xiao made it out to be. Any great formation needs to consume a lot of energy to operate. I'm afraid the existence of the Eight Great Families is more about collecting energy so that the great formation can operate smoothly."

"But……"

Before Mu Qingfeng could finish speaking, a series of earth-shaking hoofbeats came from afar.

An army approached from a distance and quickly surrounded the two.

"Who is here!"
