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

"Bang!"

With a single punch landing, it seemed as if everything had settled down.

Suddenly, a ferocious roar rang out, and the Xuan Tian Giant Ape's fist was slowly lifted from below—

Lei Ziyue's muscles swelled several times their normal size, making him look like a small giant over two meters tall. His bronze skin stretched like parched earth, cracking inch by inch.

His body was surging with spiritual energy, and golden light flowed through his meridians.

With a roar, he swiftly overturned the Xuan Tian Giant Ape that was pressing down on his head, and with the speed of the wind, he began to fight the enraged giant ape.

Meanwhile, behind the fallen giant trees not far from them, rows of heads emerged...

"Wow. That muscle strength is amazing..."

"As expected of the number one body cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage, who says it's bad to advance late? Senior Brother Lei's explosive power is comparable to that of the Nascent Soul stage."

"No wonder Senior Brother Lei said he would cover for Junior Sister Su; he has the strength to do so at eighty."

huh~

Two little tufts of hair also popped out.

Luo Huanzhen clung tightly to the round tree trunk, his little face serious as he stared intently at the battlefield before him—

Although she didn't want to help, as the junior master of the Xuantian Sect and the leader of this secret realm, it was her dereliction of duty to watch her own disciples die at the hands of demonic beasts.

But she didn't want to let the two who stole her treasure off so easily, so Luo Zhenhuan still brought people over.

She planned to make her move when Lei Ziyue and Su Mingyue couldn't hold on any longer.

However, unexpectedly, Lei Ziyue actually had some skills and managed to hold on by himself.

"Roar—woohoo—"

In the end, the Xuan Tian Giant Ape was defeated and ran away, covering its bruised and swollen face.

Luo Huanzhen glanced again at Su Mingyue, who was fiercely protecting the Blue Jade Grass, and said, "..."

Okay... then...

Su Mingyue no longer wanted the grass that her beloved second senior brother had risked his life to obtain for her from the Xuan Tian Giant Ape.

Luo Huanzhen patted his little bottom and said to everyone, "Bah, I'm already very beautiful. I'll give the Blue Jade Grass to that idiot who only grows muscles and not brains, and that ugly monster whose heart is uglier than his appearance."

After Luo Huanzhen spoke, the disciples spat at Lei Ziyue and Su Mingyue a few times, then obediently followed Luo Huanzhen away.

However, although Junior Uncle is small in stature, he has a sharp tongue, and these two adjectives are too fitting for Senior Brother Lei and Junior Sister Su.

A large group of people came and left in a large group.

Lei Ziyue was in a bad state. He withdrew from the berserk state of body cultivation and returned to his original appearance.

However, at this moment, his body was chapped and covered in blood, making him look extremely disheveled and frightening.

This was his ultimate move, burning his life essence and causing him immense harm, but the situation was so dire that he had no other choice.

However, he seemed to see Luo Huanzhen stride out two steps, but after realizing that he had regained the advantage, he hurriedly retreated back behind the tree to hide...?

It must be an illusion.

How could someone as vicious as her, who even intended to harm Mingyue, possibly want to save them?

Lei Ziyue suppressed his thoughts and, enduring the pain, dragged his heavy steps to Su Mingyue's side. He collapsed to the ground, took out a bottle of healing pills, and poured them out to eat.

However, after falling two or three times, not a single healing pill came out—

Lei Ziyue suddenly remembered that he had given all his pills to Su Mingyue, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, when they were in Canghua Palace.

He... has run out of pills.

Thinking of this, Lei Ziyue couldn't help but look at Su Mingyue beside him—

Su Mingyue didn't look at him. At this moment, she was checking the Blue Jade Grass in her arms with a worried expression. After confirming that it was undamaged, she breathed a sigh of relief and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Suddenly, Su Mingyue looked up at Lei Ziyue with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Lei Ziyue's heart softened.

He was about to reassure Su Mingyue that he was alright and there was no need to worry too much when he heard Su Mingyue say weakly and urgently, "Second Senior Brother, they've gone to the next treasure location. We need to catch up quickly."

Lei Ziyue felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

The first thing she said wasn't out of concern, but rather an urging for him to take her after Luo Huanzhen and the others...

He opened his mouth, then stared at Su Mingyue in silence.

Su Mingyue reached out and tugged at Lei Ziyue's sleeve, her eyes red and aggrieved, "Second Senior Brother, I don't want to lose to Luo Huanzhen. Everyone says I'm a fake, that I'm not as good as her... I can't let her outdo me in this secret realm, please..."

Seeing the anxious and aggrieved look in her eyes, Lei Ziyue's heart trembled.

He reached out and picked up Su Mingyue, then gritted his teeth and chased after Luo Huanzhen and his troops in the direction they were marching.

……

A disciple discovered Lei Ziyue and Su Mingyue's whereabouts and couldn't help but report it to Luo Huanzhen.

"Junior Uncle, they're following us again."

Upon hearing this, the other disciples stirred, and a barrage of complaints poured out:

"This is so annoying, it's like a fly that I can't get rid of..."

"Isn't stealing the Blue Jade Grass enough? What are you planning to steal next?"

"Damn it, why don't we just start killing our own fellow disciples? I really can't stand these two senior brothers and sisters anymore!"

Luo Zhenhuan was also speechless and angry; she also wanted to kill her fellow disciples.

However, Master said that we must not wantonly slaughter cultivators, let alone kill our fellow disciples.

Actually, this wasn't the first time Yun Yao had given her this warning.

During her month-long stay at the sect, Yun Yao made a request of her:

Always remember that a cultivator must first cultivate their mind. Do not act impulsively, and do not kill indiscriminately, lest even the slightest crack in your mental state affect your future path.

Luo really didn't understand.

She had been in the Ten Thousand Demon Banner for a long time, and her hands were already stained with blood. Demons and humans are not much different; they are both so fragile and easy to die. She didn't think that killing someone would cause her any inner demons, let alone seriously affect her future path.

But with her black hair hanging down her cheeks, holding a steamed pork rib in one hand and a candied hawthorn in the other, Yun Yao's beautiful face showed a serious and earnest expression, and Luo Huanzhen still reluctantly agreed while drooling.

Okay, okay... I'll spoil him this once!

Who can resist the delicious aroma of meat, the sweet taste of candied hawthorns, and the gentle nature of Master Yun Yao?

But we still have to say some tough words.

Luo Huanzhen rolled up his sleeves, waved his little fist, and said with an arrogant and domineering air, "Ignore them, but if he dares to snatch again, I'll beat him to death!"

Luo really does have big eyes.

Her eyelashes were thick, long, and very curled.

Although her face was covered in scars, her natural beauty was undeniable. Furthermore, after spending time with her, her image in the eyes of her disciples had long since transformed from an ugly duckling to an adorable child.

Seeing her clenching her little tiger teeth and wildly swinging her fists at the air, the disciples were instantly charmed.

She raised the little flag and, like a little adult, continued to lead the group.

As dawn broke.

Luo Huanzhen led his men to a huge cliff...

Looking at the cliff shrouded in white mist ahead, the disciples of Xuantian Sect couldn't help but warn, "Junior Uncle, it seems like there's no way out ahead."

Luo didn't say anything, but instead solemnly stuck the little flag back on his head, ran to the edge of the cliff, and lay down.

"Wow……"

Xuantian Sect disciple: ?

What the heck?

The disciples gradually stepped forward, imitating Luo Huanzhen by looking down the cliff, and then—

"Wow……"

"Wow!!"

"Wow! Wow wow!!!"

A chorus of "Wow!"s filled the air.
