Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136: Leaving the Trial Realm
The woman slightly lowered her head, using the corner of her eye to survey everyone, watching their reactions, and lightly wiped her eye corner, "It’s my fault, I couldn’t protect Junior Sister Yu."
"Senior Sister, don’t say that." The person beside her, hearing what she said, turned to comfort her.
"Yes, Senior Sister, it was Junior Sister Yu who willingly protected you. It’s already happened, don’t blame yourself."
"Yes, this isn’t the time for self-blame, Senior Sister, the Cold Lotus is missing, what should we do now?"
They were all disciples of the Immortal Medical Alliance, and this time they entered the Poison Arts Trial Gate under orders to retrieve the Cold Lotus.
After entering the Trial Gate, they had been hurrying over here, but unexpectedly, they were still a step too late; someone had taken the Cold Lotus earlier.
The person addressed as Senior Sister is Ling Ruoyan, the one in charge of this mission.
Now that the Cold Lotus had been picked, they could only wait for Ling Ruoyan’s instructions.
Seeing the topic being shifted, the corners of Ling Ruoyan’s mouth lifted imperceptibly, then she raised her eyes to look at the disciples and said, "Those giant snakes should be guardians of the Cold Lotus. Since they were relentlessly pursuing that woman, she must know something."
Hearing this, hope rekindled in their eyes.
Ling Ruoyan asked again, "Is that woman awake?"
Hearing her words, the disciples immediately made way, "She has already been treated and should wake up soon."
Ling Ruoyan, hearing this, stepped forward and walked through the crowd, squatting down beside the unconscious woman, and checked her pulse.
The woman had lost an arm, her breath was extremely weak, and after treatment, her life was temporarily preserved.
After checking her pulse, Ling Ruoyan raised her eyes to glance at the disciples, "Go get some water."
One of the disciples immediately went to fetch water.
It wasn’t long before the water was brought.
Ling Ruoyan poured the water over the woman, who soon woke up.
Upon awakening, the woman’s eyes were still full of fear, but when she saw herself surrounded by people, she suddenly sighed in relief, "Did... did you save me? Thank you, thank you."
Ling Ruoyan: "Did you see anyone approach that lake area before us?"
As soon as she heard this, two figures popped into the woman’s mind, "Yes, yes, there were two people."
At this, Ling Ruoyan’s expression shifted slightly, "What kind of people?"
"A man and a woman, both very good-looking, especially the girl, she was very pretty, but they were powerful and... and very ruthless." Thinking about how the two had left her among the four snakes without regard for her life, a trace of hatred appeared in the woman’s eyes.
It was because of them that her arm had been bitten off by the giant snake.
After listening, Ling Ruoyan pondered for a couple of seconds, then finally stood up, "Take her with us, let’s keep moving, and leave here as soon as possible."

After Gu Zhiqi had successfully picked the Cold Lotus, she continued to wander the Poison Technique Trial Realm with Tang Yichen.
After wandering for a round, Tang Yichen’s points increased by another two hundred, while Gu Zhiqi unearthed many treasures.
After a day like this, Tang Yichen felt his understanding of Poison Arts was improving rapidly, while Gu Zhiqi’s hunger was growing just as swiftly.
When Gu Zhiqi could no longer bear her hunger, she pulled Tang Yichen to find the exit.
By the time they exited the Poison Arts Trial Gate, it was already seven in the evening.
As soon as the two came out of the Trial Gate, Gu Zhiqi noticed a tall and slender figure standing amidst the dense crowd.
Even though there were so many people, Gu Zhiqi spotted him at a glance.
"Brother?" Gu Zhiqi didn’t expect to see him as soon as she left the Trial Gate.
Su Yunling gently raised an eyebrow, "You finally decided to come out?"
