Chapter 157 - Vicious Beating

"Wait for me?" Xiao Qianhan's expression darkened slightly as the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile and he asked.

He Xiaowen was not surprised by Xiao Qianhan's calmness. Her face was still very pale, and under the heavy blow, she was unable to even focus on cultivating. Naturally, she looked pale as she sneered, "I know that I'm no match for you right now, so I've never deluded myself on wanting to kill you here today."

"Oh?"

"I just want to say a few words to you. There's a secret that the Crown Prince thinks he's hiding very well, but I know about it." He Xiaowen suddenly lowered her voice and stared intently into Xiao Qianhan's eyes as she slowly spoke.

Xiao Qianhan's expression changed slightly. After waiting for a while, she slowly said, "Sometimes, if you know too much about the secret, you will provoke a disaster that will kill you."

"Hehe, that's right, that's why our He family has always kept it a secret, and has never revealed it to anyone until now. Xiao Qianhan, as long as you don't enter Infernal Forest now, I will tell you this secret." He Xiaowen squinted as she stared at Xiao Qianhan.

"Since you have such a shocking secret, why don't you use it to threaten Yun Mojin? Until now, none of you have dared to reveal your secret, which means that you are well aware that you cannot tell anyone about this secret. Once she was informed, the He Clan said that no one could escape death! Are you sure you want to tell me? " Xiao Qianhan asked with a cold smile.

He Xiaowen's body froze, she did not expect Xiao Qianhan's guess to be so accurate. Indeed, although they knew some secrets, they did not dare to say them out loud in order to preserve their lives.

"Now, it's time to settle the score between you and me!" Xiao Qianhan said coldly. She suddenly slashed at He Xiaowen with her broken sword, and a ray of sword light landed on He Xiaowen's shoulder.

He Xiaowen had no time to dodge, her shoulder was injured, she looked at Xiao Qianhan in shock, she did not expect Xiao Qianhan to attack without saying a word!

This was not what she wanted to see.

Not long ago, she received news that there was a red tassel fruit tree in the Infernal Forest, which just so happened to be the day of the red tassel fruit's maturation. If Xiao Qianhan accidentally acquired the red tassel fruit, and her realm had advanced by leaps and bounds, wouldn't the entire She family be in trouble? Moreover, it would be even more difficult for her to take revenge!

So no matter what, they couldn't let Xiao Qianhan rush over within the time limit!

She also took out her weapon. Although her strength was currently not as good as Xiao Qianhan's, as long as she fought with all she had, it shouldn't be difficult for Xiao Qianhan to stay!

Xiao Qianhan seemed to be able to read her thoughts. Her moves were ruthless and the powerful spirit energy forced her to retreat step by step.

"Xiao Qianhan, I also know a secret about the West China princess. This time when you enter the Infernal Forest, as long as you meet the Princess of West China alone, she will definitely kill you. Although there are a lot of rumors outside and you might not believe them, the truth is right in front of your eyes. West China does indeed want to marry the Beiming Nation, and West China is definitely going to marry the Crown Prince. Do you think the West China will spare your life so that you can leave the Infernal Forest safe and sound? " He Xiaowen suddenly took a few steps back at this critical moment, and asked with a cold smile. She said those words deliberately, so as to confuse Xiao Qianhan's heart.

But there was no change in Xiao Qianhan's expression, her moves were even more ruthless!

Xiao Qianhan coldly looked at He Xiaowen, her expression darkened, she waved her broken sword, bringing her powerful spirit force and landed on He Xiaowen's body.

He Xiaowen was startled, but just as she was about to run, the Sword Qi cut into her back!

Immediately after, Xiao Qianhan raised her leg and kicked the wound on He Xiaowen's back, causing him to fly out heavily. He Xiaowen who was already injured, laid on the ground motionlessly, with only a weak breath of his, Ying Luo who was hiding in the darkness took the risk to run out and support He Xiaowen to quickly escape. If not for the fact that she was running out of time to enter the Infernal Forest, Xiao Qianhan would definitely have killed He Xiaowen right now to avoid any future troubles.

The forest stretched endlessly. It was so majestic that one couldn't see the end of it. In the middle of the forest, there was a towering mountain peak. The mountain peak was covered with snow all year round. But the snow was black.

At the outermost edge of the forest, the trees were still normal, lush and lush with foliage. The only difference between this and a normal forest was that it was slightly eerie.

This area was where the lowest level demon beasts lived.

This area was over ten miles long, and what entered his eyes next made him tremble.

There were dense leaves everywhere, but there was no longer any hint of green. They were all purplish black, and some of the leaves had even started to curl and dry up. Occasionally, there would be some leaves that fell to the ground, making creaking sounds when stepped on. It was especially eerie.

Even the sunlight could not completely shine through, bringing warmth to the place.

The occasional breeze that blew past was bone-chilling cold, causing everyone to feel a chill in their hearts.

The forest at the foot of the mountain could no longer be called forest, because all the leaves had long since fallen off. Even the branches were withered and wretched, and were covered in a layer of black skin.

Beneath Infernal Forest's feet.

Those who had the right to enter had already arrived. The reason why some people were hesitating and didn't rush in was simply because they wanted to form an alliance with someone. Infernal Forest was extremely dangerous, with an additional ally, it was equivalent to having a sliver of hope to survive.

Xiao Qianhan arrived a little too late, and only entered before the barrier was about to close.

There were already many people outside the forest. However, she did not plan to form an alliance with anyone. With just a glance, her figure flashed and she entered the Infernal Forest.

An alliance naturally allowed a certain degree of danger to come from the spirit beasts, but at the same time, it also brought a certain degree of danger to the humans themselves. On the contrary, acting alone was more beneficial, not to mention that her goal was only to find spiritual herbs.

At the edge of the forest, there were already a few people standing beside Yue Lan. Like stars surrounding the moon, they surrounded Yue Lan in the middle.

Seeing Xiao Qianhan walking in the Infernal Forest alone, the light in Yue Lan's eyes flickered slightly.

"Princess, let's go in." A Xuanzun Sect disciple beside Yue Lan suggested.

Yue Lan did not say anything, gently nodded, and entered the Infernal Forest with a few disciples.

As this was only the outskirts of the Infernal Forest, the low rank spirit beasts were not a threat to the group. As such, everyone advanced very quickly.

Because Xiao Qianhan was alone, her figure flashed continuously, and she advanced quickly. Not long later, she had already left Yue Lan and the others in the dust.
