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

"You dare to lie to me?"

Luo Huanzhen jumped up from the ground and took the small flag directly.

"Momo, come out!"

The Banner of Ten Thousand Demons swelled several feet in the wind, and then a terrifying demonic claw emerged from it. However, before it could fully emerge, a terrifying and oppressive lingering force suddenly appeared.

"Aww!!"

The demon claws seemed to have been burned, and instantly retracted into the Myriad Demon Banner.

Inside the Banner of Ten Thousand Demons, an ancient demon, clutching its claws, was surrounded by other demons, looking utterly aggrieved.

"I finally got to go out, but there's a remnant of an ancient immortal outside!"

"It's normal for major immortal sects in the cultivation world to have the remnants of immortal venerables protecting them; you're just unlucky."

"Damn it! I'm going to throw a tantrum! Waaaaah..."

Sensing the message from the mischievous demons inside the little flag, Luo Huanzhen, holding the flag, read it aloud with a puzzled expression:

"Ancient Immortal Lord's lingering thoughts?"

"That's right, the Cliff of Repentance is guarded by the remnant spirit of my founding ancestor, who is specifically tasked with punishing those who try to control and persecute future generations." Hengyangzi said coldly, "You wicked disciple Luo Huanzhen, do you think that with this demonic artifact, I am powerless against you?"

Luo Huanzhen: Okay.

Too lazy to struggle anymore, she helplessly stuck the little flag back into her little bun and sat down on the ground with her legs stretched out.

Luo Huanzhen, in a fit of despair, asked, "What crime do you want to punish me for?"

Hengyangzi said coldly, "While in the secret realm, you ostracized Lei Ziyue and Su Mingyue. And after the secret realm ended, you seized so many treasures, yet you didn't give them even a single bit!"

Luo Huanzhen blinked: "Yes!"

You just admit it like that?!

Hengyangzi was so angry he puffed out his beard and glared at her. "You, you are utterly obstinate! I'm punishing you with a year's salary of spirit stones, making you give half of the rare and precious herbs you've devoured to Mingyue, and forcing you to reflect on your actions at the Cliff of Repentance for three months!"

Luo Zhenhuan shook his head and refused.

"Can't be split."

"You don't plead guilty?"

"No, Sect Master, all my treasures are kept by Master Yun Yao. You'll have to go find him to share them. But I don't know when he'll be back. I don't care about that."

Hengyangzi's face darkened instantly, and the wrinkles on his face drooped even longer.

If you don't want to separate, fine, but you actually used Uncle Yun Yao to threaten him? Mingyue is right, although Luo Huanzhen looks like a child, he is extremely cunning and shrewd.

Forget it.

Mingyue has already received a lot of compensation from him and his senior brothers, so he shouldn't care about this little bit.

"Since that's the case, then I'll punish you by making you reflect on your actions at the Cliff of Repentance for three months. Go down there—"

Hengyangzi flicked his whisk, about to throw Luo Huanzhen into the Cliff of Contemplation.

Luo Huanzhen shouted, "Wait!"

Although Hengyangzi stopped moving, his eyes remained cold and indifferent as he stared at Luo Huanzhen, the meaning of which was clear—spit it out, I won't let you off easily.

"I don't need you, I'll jump myself!"

This little cliff is nothing at all!

Xiao Luo has indeed jumped over at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, cliffs within the Ten Thousand Demon Banner. Which one wasn't more dangerous than this?

Luo Huanzhen got up from the ground, ran to the edge of the Cliff of Contemplation, and leaped over it with his short legs.

"Wuhu!"

Hengyangzi walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at Luo Huanzhen, who was spreading his arms in the strong wind, as if he were freefalling.

"..."

She seemed to be having a lot of fun dancing.

It doesn't look like a punishment at all; it looks more like playing around.

……

On the stone platform of the Cliff of Contemplation.

Lei Ziyue was gritting his teeth and enduring the onslaught of the gale when suddenly a small black shadow fell before his eyes.

"boom--!"

The small, dark shape smashed a huge crater no more than a foot away from him.

Lei Ziyue was startled, then saw a short-armed, short-legged toddler struggling to climb out of the pit and meet his gaze.

Lei Ziyue's voice even changed slightly, "Zhenzhen?"

Isn't that Luo Huanzhen?

"Why did you come down here? How could you let them bully you like this? They smashed such a big crater, are you alright? Are you okay?"

When Luo Huanzhen saw that he wanted to help her up, she immediately stretched out her little arms and made a big X in front of her chest, looking utterly resistant.

"I'm fine, I don't need your help. Nephew Lei, you should worry more about yourself."

Lei Ziyue stopped in his tracks.

Yes.

Zhenzhen possessed the physical strength of a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage and would not be injured at all. To her, his actions were belated affection, unnecessary concern... Zhenzhen didn't need them.

Lei Ziyue's outstretched hands fell limply to his sides, a bitter feeling welling up inside him.

Luo Huanzhen picked up a small twig and drew a line between himself and Lei Ziyue.

"You are over there, and I am over here. I and Junior Nephew Lei will each be punished, without interfering with each other."

Hengyangzi and those few foolish former senior brothers defended Su Mingyue.

If she doesn't accept punishment, she'll definitely have no peace in the days to come.

Anyway, cultivation is cultivation no matter where you are, and the spiritual energy here seems quite abundant.

Not only is the spiritual energy abundant, but a fierce wind also rises from the ground, carrying a massive amount of demonic energy—enough to satisfy even the smallest flag's hunger!

Luo Huanzhen took the small flag off his head, enlarged it, and stuck it in the ground.

The banner of ten thousand demons fluttered in the wind.

The raging gale rushed toward the flag, only to be sucked in by the swirling wind from the Ten Thousand Demon Banner's gaping maw.

Beneath the Myriad Demon Banner, Luo Huanzhen, like a frog, lay on the small flag, closed his eyes, and began to absorb and cultivate.

Lei Ziyue sat beside him and witnessed once again just how extraordinary Luo Huanzhen's talent was.

As she cultivated, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to automatically seek her out, surging towards her at an even more terrifying absorption speed than the Myriad Demon Banner.

In the blink of an eye, all the spiritual energy in the entire Cliff of Contemplation was drained away.

The Cliff of Contemplation has been emptied, but Luo Zhen is still not satisfied.

As a result, the spiritual energy of the entire main peak slowly gathered and drifted towards the Cliff of Contemplation, forming a giant suction vortex...

Lei Ziyue stopped meditating and was no longer depressed.

He stared wide-eyed at Luo Huanzhen, who seemed to have descended from the heavens, right there on the edge of the 38th parallel, looking at him with piety and shock.

……

The night was deep.

Bright light still shone in Su Mingyue's cave.

She had already taken the Jade Skin Fragrance and was sitting in front of her dressing table, admiring her flawless, fair skin in the mirror.

At that moment, a pair of hands reached out from behind her and pulled her into an embrace.

The man took a deep breath and said softly, "As expected of Jade Skin Fragrance, it smells so good..."

Su Mingyue's delicate face was filled with wantonness and allure: "Although it's not as good as the Blue Jade Grass, it's still very good. Now Mingyue should be worthy of the title of the sect's number one beauty. Senior Brother, would you like to give it a try?"

After saying that, she took the initiative to hook her arm around Lin Yichen's neck and undo his belt.

Lin Yichen's eyes darkened, and a surge of lustful fire rose in his lower abdomen.

He muttered under his breath, "You little vixen, you're even more alluring than your mother..."

Then he picked Su Mingyue up horizontally and lifted the pink bed curtains.

Su Mingyue calls Lin Yichen her senior brother, but in reality, his role is more like Su Mingyue's father.

Su Mingyue is the daughter of Lin Yichen's beloved, whom he met during his mortal trials.

When Luo Huanzhen went missing, his first decision was to have Su Mingyue return to the sect in his place, which was a win-win solution.

Although Su Mingyue possessed exceptional comprehension, she lacked spiritual roots.

Lin Yichen had no choice but to use unorthodox methods to forcibly implant a pseudo-spiritual root into Su Mingyue's body.

Su Mingyue's poor health stemmed from this.

But since the spiritual root is not her own, it naturally cannot grow and absorb spiritual energy like a normal spiritual root.

Lin Yichen then thought of a method of dual cultivation, transferring his spiritual power to Su Mingyue.

Su Mingyue was delicate and charming, but she was unrestrained in bed, which was a great contrast that made him unable to resist and addicted to transferring spiritual power to her.

Fortunately, Lin Yichen was exceptionally talented, the best among the disciples besides the monstrous Luo Huanzhen.

Therefore, after transferring some spiritual energy to Su Mingyue, he could quickly absorb it again to make up for it.

After a passionate encounter, Lin Yichen, as usual, lay shirtless on Su Mingyue's bed, closing his eyes to absorb spiritual energy.

However, no matter how he inhaled and exhaled, not a single drop of spiritual energy entered his body.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Su Mingyue couldn't help but get up and ask, and used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat that had seeped from his forehead due to his anxiety.

Lin Yichen said in a low voice, "I can't absorb spiritual energy anymore. It's like... there's not a single drop of spiritual energy left in the air. I've lost the ability to sense the existence of spiritual energy."

"How could this happen? Everything was fine before."

"have no idea."

"Shall we try somewhere else? Perhaps the spiritual energy around Bright Moon Cave is too thin..."

Su Mingyue was also very anxious.

Lin Yichen is her external dantian for spiritual energy; if he cannot absorb spiritual energy, her future will be ruined.
