After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

Qiao Shouxuan couldn't help but rub his eyes and look again.

However, no matter how he looked at it, the person on the opposite mountain peak was indeed Luo Huanzhen.

"etc!"

Qiao Shouxuan shouted.

The elders around him, who had been preparing to rush down and fight the old fogies of the One Leaf Sect after seeing his gaze, froze in their tracks.

They looked at Qiao Shouxuan with puzzled expressions.

Qiao Shouxuan swallowed hard, clinging to his last glimmer of hope, and asked the elders at home.

"Can you see the entrance to that cave on the highest peak across the way? Isn't there a child standing there?"

As Qiao Shouxuan spoke, he was constantly praying in his heart.

I hope it's just his imagination, I hope it's just his imagination... He really does have a psychological trauma related to Luo, which is why he's having these hallucinations.

However, ideals are often grand, while reality is often harsh.

Several elders looked at it carefully and then gave Qiao Shouxuan an affirmative answer.

"Sect Master, yes. There is a child standing there!"

"It's actually quite pretty!"

"Isn't that the cave dwelling of the One Leaf Sect Master? How come a little child is living there? Is she the secret daughter of Lin Yang of the One Leaf Sect?"

Lin Yang.

The previous sect leader of the One Leaf Sect.

He was gentle and refined in character, and exceptionally handsome—which is why he was chosen and abducted by the Ghost King.

The last glimmer of hope in Qiao Shouxuan's heart vanished.

He might be hallucinating on his own, but now that a group of people have seen Luo Zhenhuan, it can't be a hallucination.

"Withdraw, we're not fighting anymore!"

Qiao Shouxuan called out with a grim expression.

Then, ignoring the other elders, he made a hand seal, turned around, and ran away.

They were moving so fast it was as if a ghost was chasing them.

Qiao Shouxuan's move left the elders behind him, who had already made ample preparations for battle, completely baffled.

They looked at each other for a moment, then made hand seals to control the wind and followed Qiao Shouxuan away.

There's nothing we can do; after all, he's the sect leader who gives orders.

The elders didn't want to be summoned by him so inexplicably, only to be told to leave for no reason.

None of us are nobody insignificant.

Anyone who ventures out into the world is a powerful figure who can make a place tremble!

Therefore, they all looked rather unhappy about what Qiao Shouxuan had done today.

So after catching up with Qiao Shouxuan, they all spoke up.

"Sect Master, what's wrong with you?"

"We came all the way from our sect, it wasn't easy for us, how can you just leave like that!"

"They're running so fast, it's like they're running for their lives..."

Qiao Shouxuan was drenched in sweat.

His eyes held gloom, hatred, and, of course, fear above all.

The way he's saying that, isn't he just trying to escape for his life?

That's Luo Huanzhen!

It was a prodigy who had caused the deaths of five powerful elders at the Tribulation Transcending stage!

"When you left, she didn't see us, did she? She didn't chase after us, did she?" Qiao Shouxuan asked cautiously as he fled for his life.

Several elders were genuinely angered by Qiao Shouxuan's sneaky actions.

One of the elders said angrily, "Sect Master, I don't know what's wrong with you? Ever since you saw that brat, you've become a completely different person!"

Another elder angrily chimed in, "Yes! Are we your dogs, to be summoned and dismissed at will?"

And right after making those harsh remarks, he slunk away.

How embarrassing.

Qiao Shouxuan: "Tell me first whether she chased after us or not!"

This is the key point!

Elder: "No!"

She was still rubbing her eyes when they left, and didn't look at them...

Only after receiving an affirmative answer did Qiao Shouxuan's unusual reaction finally subside.

Several elders could clearly sense that the tension in his body had eased.

Qiao Shouxuan slowed down his running speed, then opened his mouth slowly with a hateful expression and gritted teeth.

"That child is Luo Huanzhen! He's the mortal enemy who killed five of our Tribulation Transcending Stage Supreme Elders!"

The elders were immediately alarmed.

"What?"

"Isn't Luo Zhenren from the Eastern Continent's Xuantian Sect? How did he end up at the Yiye Sect?"

"Yes, Sect Master, you must have misread it."

Qiao Shouxuan said grimly, "She looks about four or five years old, a little girl with silky black hair reaching her waist, and a small flag on her head... especially that little flag, it's a divine artifact. Who else could it be but her?"

That outfit, that face, that little flag stuck on his head as an ornament.

Even if she were reduced to ashes, he would still recognize her!

How could I possibly admit I was wrong?

After Qiao Shouxuan described the child's appearance so accurately, the elders verified the person they had seen.

It really was Luo Huanzhen.

No wonder the sect leader escaped so quickly.

However, they really didn't expect that Luo Zhenhuan, the extremely arrogant and domineering man who had caused their sect to suffer a great setback, was actually such a young child.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

"So, are we just going to go straight back to the sect now?"

"What else? Why don't you go back and confront her directly?"

"...Me? I'm not going."

Who would dare to try that?

Didn't you see that the sect leader almost ran away as a blur after seeing her?

Try it and you might really die.

……

One Leaf Sect.

The elders, who had been prepared for a bloody battle to protect their sect, flew through the air with somewhat bewildered expressions.

Several geese flew overhead, making a honking sound.

The surroundings were empty and desolate.

Wang Jin: "...Are we hallucinating?"

Luo Dahai: "No, just now, those old bastards from the Hunyuan Sect came to our door. But for some reason, they all ran away."

Zhao Baixiao: "Could it be a trap? Like, they're letting our guard down so they can come back stronger?"

Liu Yi pondered, "That's very possible. These guys from the Hunyuan Sect are simply too insidious!"

The elders remained motionless, their faces solemn, and continued to hover in the air.

When Luo Huanzhen came out of the cave, she saw them flying into the sky. She snapped out of her daze and looked up at them with a curious expression.

I don't know what they're doing...

After a very long time, seeing that they still did not move, it jumped onto the lotus throne and flew to the elders.

Luo Huanzhen was tiny, squatting on the lotus throne, his hands supporting his knees, leaning forward to look at their facial expressions.

"Elders, what are you doing hovering in the air?"

"Why are you all frowning, looking like you're constipated? Are you taking a dump in the air?"

Liu Yi put a finger to his lips: "Shh, there are foreign enemies invading, and we are responding seriously..."

Luo Zhen scratched his head and looked around.

No……

Zhao Baixiao kept his eyes closed, his face full of certainty: "They've hidden themselves. You can't see them with your eyes; you have to sense them with your heart..."

Wang Jin nodded, while pulling Luo Huanzhen further back.

"Sect Master, the invaders are all powerful enemies, many of them at the Mahayana stage. You should retreat and hide; we will certainly protect you!"
