Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 468 Straight to the Demon Realm's Lair
Expedition City.

Xiao Ke, as a spirit of the realm, cannot kill demons, but that does not mean he has no means.

Liang Shimu and Jiang Chenying directed the disciples of various sects to kill the demon, while Xiao Youqi watched the human and demon fighting in mid-air, keeping an eye on whether the two would affect them.

"I really don't understand!" Lin Youran threw out a handful of poison.

The poison, carried away by the wind, took effect quickly. Lin Jinyao, who was standing to the side holding a sharp sword, glanced at the person and asked, "What's wrong with you again?"

"Three hundred years have passed, why is the Demon Lord still fixated on Junior Sister?"

As Lin Youran spoke, her hands were also busy.

Lin Jinyao swung her sword and slashed at a demonic cultivator who was trying to attack Lin Youran. "Who knows?"

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Even through a barrier, one could feel the terrifying killing intent; Jun Su's desire to kill his fifth junior brother only grew stronger.

The man and the demon in mid-air quickly exchanged a hundred blows.

Unable to overcome each other, the two retreated simultaneously, creating distance between them, and the tense atmosphere dissipated.

Looking at the lifelike Xiao Ke, Jun Su's eyes were filled with malice. "He's really lucky to be alive."

He only sensed Xiao Ke's presence for a moment in the secret realm back then, and never noticed it again.

It seems that Shen Youqing hid him.

So, Shen Youqing possesses a spatial artifact.

The Mysterious Maiden Diagram, the Chaos Pearl, the Divine Sword, and now a spatial artifact.

No one else would even dare to imagine that she alone possesses four divine artifacts.

Is it due to innate advantages or profound good fortune?

"I'm really lucky to be alive," Xiao Ke said calmly. "Without Qingqing, I wouldn't be who I am today."

The original intention of leaving the source to Qingqing was only to hope that she could one day rebuild the guardian realm, but unexpectedly she was resurrected because of it.

At this point, Xiao Ke raised his eyebrows slightly.

Seeing Xiao Ke's smug and boastful face, Jun Su's already sinister gaze became even more terrifying.

The chilling atmosphere could ignite at any moment.

The two, locked in combat once again, could only be seen as afterimages.

-

Hua Mao City.

Having nothing to do in the city, Shen Quelin and Jiang Hanying decided to go find Shen Youqing.

On their way there, they were ambushed.

The demonic cultivators who descended from the sky immediately took action.

Jiang Hanying dodged while unleashing a series of talismans. Shen Quelin dodged quickly enough, but was still injured by several bursts of demonic energy.

He charged forward, wielding the Crimson Blaze Sword.

"Hiss..."

A dangerous screech came from the nearby woods.

Surrounded by several demonic cultivators, Shen Quelin had no time to check what was going on.

The underestimated Jiang Hanying only faced two or three demonic cultivators. With her rapidly improving talisman-drawing skills, she unleashed several talisman arrays, which restrained the demonic cultivators.

She glanced at it distractedly, and then her pupils dilated in shock.

A giant black python emerged from the mountains and forests, its jaws wide open, and swallowed a demonic cultivator whole.

Sharp fangs grazed past Shen Quelin.

"Young Master Shen, be careful!" Jiang Hanying, who did not recognize Xiao Aye, exclaimed and threw the talisman in her hand at the black python.

Shen Quelin hurriedly slashed the talisman with his sword, "Our own people, no, our own snake!"

Jiang Hanying paused, her hand about to flick the talisman.

Shen Quelin's long sword pierced through the air and intercepted the demonic cultivator who was trying to ambush Jiang Hanying.

Jiang Hanying turned her head and threw the talisman in her hand over.

Little Aye's enormous body encircled Shen Quelin and Jiang Hanying, and all the demonic cultivators' attacks landed on it.

But those attacks didn't even leave a scratch.

Shen Quelin raised his hand and touched the black snake scales that were close at hand. Seeing that Jiang Hanying was still wary, he said, "This is Shen Youqing's contracted beast. You may not have seen it before."

Jiang Hanying's eyes widened slightly.

She had only ever seen the double-petaled red camellia tree before; she had never seen this black python before. "These demonic cultivators are all at the Integration stage," Shen Quelin said, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "You and I have unfortunately suffered this undeserved calamity."

Jiang Hanying shook her head and said, "Luckily I came along."

If she hadn't helped Young Master Shen deflect some of the attacks, he would probably be even more seriously injured now.

Seeing Jiang Hanying's relieved expression, Shen Quelin shook his head slightly and said, "No wonder Shen Youqing likes you so much."

Jiang Hanying smiled.

It was precisely because Senior Sister Qing was so kind to her that she was glad she had come along.

Young Master Shen is very important to Junior Sister Youqing. If something happens to Young Master Shen, Senior Sister Youqing will be very sad.

With a sweep of its tail, Little Aye caused damage to the demonic cultivators and the surrounding trees.

The huge commotion drew their attention, and they were both speechless as they looked at the place that was about to be razed to the ground.

"It's strange, why didn't Shen Youqing come?" Shen Quelin asked thoughtfully.

Although Xiao Aye could be dealt with by a single snake, that's not Shen Youqing's style.

"Perhaps the spirit stone mine is more important?" Jiang Hanying laughed at herself after saying that.

How could a spirit stone mine possibly be as important as Young Master Shen?

Senior Sister Youqing is probably stuck.

Shen Quelin shook his head, his expression gradually becoming serious. "It's unlikely that something happened. We're not far from the spirit stone mine."

Seeing Shen Quelin's serious and focused expression, Jiang Hanying immediately became nervous as well.

After killing the demonic cultivator, Xiao Aye shrank his body and hissed twice at Shen Quelin.

"Where is Shen Youqing?" Shen Quelin patted Xiao Aye's head and then stuffed a few spirit stones into its mouth.

Little Aye bit into a spirit stone and swallowed it, then spoke in human language: "Master is no longer in the cultivation world."

?

Jiang Hanying was stunned.

What does it mean to be no longer in the world of cultivation?
Shen Quelin's vision went black.

He knows it!

It's very strange that Shen Youqing didn't come when he was in danger, but instead sent Xiao Aye!

Jun Su was held up in the Expedition City by Xiao Ke. If a demonic cultivator really came to assassinate Shen Youqing, then they would be able to sense the movement. But there was no movement from the spirit stone mine!
In conclusion, it's highly likely that Shen Youqing went to the Demon Realm to kill demons.

"Where did Senior Sister Youqing go?"

Looking at Jiang Hanying's innocent face, Shen Quelin said with a wooden expression, "We've gone straight to the Demon Realm's lair."

Jiang Hanying: ?!
Good heavens!

Skipping over Jiang Hanying's shocked expression, Shen Quelin took out a communication talisman and contacted Shen Lin.

"what happened?"

Hearing his father's gentle yet concerned voice, Shen Quelin said, "Father, before I tell you what's going on, please take some nitroglycerin pills."

Shen Lin asked, completely bewildered, "What is it?"

"Shen Youqing may have gone to the Demon Realm alone."

There was no sound from the other end of the communication string.

Shen Quelin glanced down to make sure the communication talisman hadn't been cut off, then asked with a hint of worry, "Father? Father, are you alright?"

"died."

Shen Quelin's lips twitched slightly as he watched the communication symbol go dark.

……

Far away in Zhongzhou City, Shen Lin clutched his chest, his face filled with despair.

After leaning back in his chair for a while, he quickly went to find the ancestors and elders.

The Shen family was instantly thrown into chaos.

Just as Shen Quelin had predicted, Shen Youqing really did go to the Demon Realm.

When Qin Wu, who was far away in Huajian City, received the news, twenty-one demon generals, thirteen demon kings, and countless demon cultivators had already died in the Demon Realm.

The horrifying number of casualties made Qin Wu subconsciously feel that those overindulgent demon kings were playing a prank.

But when she heard screams and explosions coming from the other end of the communication talisman, she had no choice but to believe it.

The Demon Queen really went to the Demon Realm all by herself!
