Chapter 28 - Transmigrated as a Fake Daughter in Cultivation Novel

Chapter 28 Seeing Zhao Xuan Kun approaching, Tian Jun Jie immediately stepped forward and asked, "Zhao, how was your journey here? Did you encounter any danger on the way?" Zhao Xuan Kun saw the bodies of five Tian disciples from a distance, and frowned as he replied, "We were ambushed by spiders just now. Several disciples were injured, so we separated afterwards. What happened to you? How did so many disciples..." Zhao Xuan Kun didn't continue. Before Tian Jun Jie could respond, Tian Yan Yan, with red eyes, stood up and said, "It was those two, they killed my junior brothers." She pointed towards Song Wei Zhi and Song Zhi Xia and continued, "Zhao, my brother won't seek revenge for them. You must help me. These two women are heartless and should not be spared." Tian Jun Jie unconsciously glanced at Song Wei Zhi and Song Zhi Xia, and realizing the two were regaining strength, he quickly stopped his sister. He had witnessed Song Wei Zhi's strength earlier and was concerned about his sister's safety if they continued accusing them without evidence. Without saying anything, Zhao Xuan Kun simply took a few steps back, moving towards where Song Wei Zhi and Song Zhi Xia were. Though Tian Jun Jie covered Tian Yan Yan's mouth, she still managed to mutter, "You even went to see them after our engagement was called off. My dear brother, don't cover my mouth." "You seem to know quite a lot, my dear sister," Zhao Xuan Kun said nonchalantly. Tian Jun Jie felt like using a cloth to cover his sister's mouth. How could she offend every influential person in Lihai City? "Sorry about that, Zhao. My sister is spoiled at home. Please don't mind her childish behavior," Tian Jun Jie apologized, trying to defuse the situation. Song Wei Zhi, who was focused on recuperating, found the surrounding people more bothersome than flies. They were still stuck in this forest, possibly facing unknown dangers, yet they were arguing about trivial matters? After a few breaths, Song Wei Zhi felt her spiritual energy recovering. She opened her eyes and looked worriedly at the girl beside her, Song Zhi Xia, who was still recovering. Placing her hand on Song Zhi Xia's back, her warm spiritual energy flowed through her palm, and before Song Zhi Xia could speak, Song Wei Zhi intercepted, "Be good, now is not the time to be courteous. Xia, there might be tough battles ahead. Let me help you recover first." She then wholeheartedly continued to channel her spiritual energy to Song Zhi Xia. Song Zhi Xia had faced off against a group of monkeys in the woods, yet when her senior sister began channeling her spiritual energy, she couldn't help feeling sorry. Her sister had single-handedly dealt with the vast majority of the monkeys, depleting a significant amount of her spiritual energy. Now, she was still channeling spiritual energy to her. This made Song Zhi Xia feel uneasy. After a few moments, Song Wei Zhi felt that Song Zhi Xia's spiritual energy had fully recovered, so she stopped and took a few replenishing pills herself. Song Zhi Xia, with eager eyes fixed on her senior sister, noticed someone else. Furrowing her brows, she recognized him as the future spouse who backed out of the engagement. Why was he here? He just wouldn't go away! Sensing someone continually staring at him, Zhao Xuan Kun found Song Zhi Xia looking at him. Suddenly, he was fiercely glared at for no apparent reason. He couldn't understand what he had done wrong. He hadn't done anything, yet he was being glared at. As Song Wei Zhi was recuperating with her eyes closed, another person entered the woods. It was none other than Song Chao Yun, Song Zhi Xia's elder brother. He ran into the woods, panting as if something was chasing him. It wasn't until he found people that he caught his breath. "What's the rush, Song? Why are you so hasty?" Tian Jun Jie, relieved to see a familiar face, inquired. "There are swarms of spiders chasing us from behind. I got separated from the other disciples of the Song family. Luckily, I ran into you all," Song Chao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, despite feeling physically higher-spirited, Song Wei Zhi spoke up, "Arriving here may not be a good thing; we barely escaped death." Song Chao Yun joyfully approached, "Junior sister, I didn't want to disturb you as I saw you channeling your spiritual energy; I'm so glad to see you." He had been searching for Song Wei Zhi for over a day without any success, so finding her in such chaos felt like destiny. As he spoke with high spirits, another person appeared in front of Song Wei Zhi and obstructed his heated gaze: Song Zhi Xia, his sister. With a phony smile, Song Chao Yun spoke, "Zhi Xia is here too. It's great that I'm here to protect you, and you, Tian Shixiong, can also protect her." "Ha, who's protecting who is still up in the air," Song Zhi Xia lightly scoffed. Song Chao Yun awkwardly looked at Song Wei Zhi, who didn't even bother to lift an eyelid. After suppressing his excitement of finding Song Wei Zhi, Song Chao Yun finally noticed the five bodies lying on the ground. Before he could ask what had happened, the ground in the forest began to tremble. Song Wei Zhi held Song Zhi Xia's hand and attempted to fly using her spiritual sword, but found she couldn't summon any spiritual energy. Looking at the others around her, she realized they were all in the same predicament, unable to harness any spiritual energy. "What's happening? Why are we unable to use any spiritual energy?" Anxious, Song Chao Yun asked, but everyone was focused on their own survival, paying him no mind. Tian Yan Yan started to cry again. Tian Jun Jie, who usually doted on his sister, now wished he didn't have to deal with her. "Protect Miss Yan Yan," Tian Jun Jie instructed the remaining three disciples to secure Tian Yan Yan, as he stood in front of them to figure out what was happening. "Don't be afraid, Xia, I'm here," Song Wei Zhi said, keeping an eye on the surroundings while smiling reassuringly at Song Zhi Xia. Just that smile made Song Zhi Xia feel instantly relieved. As long as her senior sister was around, she wasn't afraid of anything. While Song Wei Zhi was focused on the situation around her, the girl behind her gazed at her in admiration. Suddenly, the trees in the forest began to collapse, and cracks appeared on the ground. Everyone was unable to use their spiritual energies, and they had to rely on their basic abilities to avoid the growing cracks. The cracks seemed to grow larger in response to their thoughts. Song Wei Zhi and Song Zhi Xia barely managed to stand on a narrow one-meter piece of land. Looking up, Song Wei Zhi noticed that amidst the chaos, Zhao Xuan Kun and Song Chao Yun had vanished. Before she could act, she and Song Zhi Xia fell. Instinctively, she held and protected Song Zhi Xia, and then she lost consciousness. She couldn't tell how long it had been, but she heard the chaotic sounds around her. Her back hurt from the fall, making it difficult for her to get up. She lay on the ground, trying to understand what was happening. At the same time, outside the secret realm, Song Ru Hai and the others were becoming frantic. They had sought help from knowledgeable individuals and received an unexpected response. The Lihai secret realm was different from others. In typical secret realms, people would trigger various mechanisms and encounter strange beasts upon entering. However, the Lihai secret realm was distinct. It was an ancient secret realm covered by multiple layers of mystic arrays. Ordinarily, entering and exiting the Lihai secret realm was like any other secret realm, with no special treasures to find. Only when the secret realm was about to collapse, these mechanisms would activate. This time, the disciples had entered the Lihai secret realm during its collapse. Song Wei Zhi and the others had undoubtedly entered the core area of the secret realm. Holding the key to the Lihai secret realm, Song Ru Hai couldn't use his spiritual power to see what happened after they fell. He was deeply troubled, as were the other sect leaders. On one hand, they hoped their disciples or children would find valuable treasures in the ancient secret realm, and on the other, they feared the dangers of such a place. The scene in the martial arts field froze in the forest, which had now turned into a massive pit. The mirror could no longer show what happened next. "Brother, what kind of place is this? Oh, quickly call for someone to rescue us," Tian Yan Yan, accompanied by several Tian disciples, wasn't injured, yet she kept talking nonstop. "Don't worry, Yan Yan. Let's first figure out our location here in the secret realm before we do anything else," Tian Jun Jie, feeling frustrated, wanted to leave. This desolate place was far from the gentle abode of a young woman. Just as he thought this, his gaze involuntarily turned towards Song Zhi Xia. Song Zhi Xia had awakened. She was too preoccupied to bother about other things, her mind focused on the still unconscious Song Wei Zhi, occasionally wiping the sweat from her forehead. Song Chao Yun walked over, wanting to embrace Song Wei Zhi. However, he was pushed away by Song Zhi Xia, who said, "What are you doing? Unless you step over my dead body, you can't touch my senior sister." Stumbling back, Song Chao Yun sneered and retorted, "You're being arrogant without your spiritual power. Do you think you and your sister are match for me? Song Wei Zhi is my father's promised fiancée. Even if I found a place to start a new life with her, it would be her rightful place. Get lost." Song Chao Yun attempted to approach again but was stopped by Zhao Xuan Kun, "Song, taking advantage of others' misfortune is not the behavior of a gentleman." Song Chao Yun stared as if he couldn't believe it, "Stop pretending, you're not just hypocritical, what else can you do? We don't even know if we can get out of here safely. Let me have a private moment with Senior Sister first, and we can talk about the rest later." "I'm afraid I can't allow that," Zhao Xuan Kun said firmly, moving forward with his two Zhao disciples, protecting Song Wei Zhi and Song Zhi Xia. Glancing at Tian Jun Jie, Song Chao Yun continued, "Tian, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to attend to my sister, as an elder brother would. I entrust my sister to you, but someone is interfering with our family affairs." Tired after a long day, Tian Jun Jie found an unexpected opportunity. "In that case, don't blame us for being impolite, Zhao." With Tian Jun Jie leading the remaining three Tian disciples and Song Chao Yun joining, the group now had five sturdy men. In contrast, Zhao Xuan Kun's group only had three. Unable to use their spiritual powers, they resorted to physical combat, and soon Zhao Xuan Kun's group found themselves at a disadvantage. Just then, Song Wei Zhi, who had been lying on the ground, opened her eyes and calmly said, "Let me see who's causing trouble." Author's note: Song Wei Zhi: There's always someone looking for trouble.
