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

Luo Huanzhen began to plunder the secret realm.

The space magic bracelet was stuffed full.

During this time, disciples kept trying to get close, hoping to gain something for nothing. However, without Luo Huanzhen having to lift a finger, they were driven away by two puppets at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

Not only did they drive the people away, but they also stole all the monsters that the visitors had hunted and gave them to Luo Huanzhen.

Luo Zhenhuan accepted everything without question.

After all, those who rob others will always be robbed, so Luo Zhen really felt no guilt whatsoever.

She doesn't actively steal from others, but if someone covets her things, she won't be polite!

Night fell, and insects chirped.

The bushes rustled in the wind.

The distant roars and fury of demonic beasts echoed from time to time, making the night in the secret realm even more silent.

Zhao Qing and Gong Lian are working together to hunt down the monster.

The voices of four or five cultivators could be heard from ahead—

"She really came in?"

"They've really gotten in! And they've hunted down a lot of monsters."

"I was trying to steal some from her, but her two lackeys snatched it from me instead. What bad luck!"

"Why don't we team up and rob her? I see she has a lot of stuff in her hands."

"OK."

The crowd left.

Zhao Qing and Gong Lian, who were hiding in the shadows, tensed up.

"Third Senior Brother, shall we go and take a look? If we're close fellow disciples, we can lend a hand."

Zhao Qing nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, what kind of skill is it to gang up on the few?"

The two used their stealth techniques to follow them stealthily.

As soon as she got close, Gong Lian sensed something was wrong.

What a powerful fight! Those five people were defeated by the man and woman on the other side in just one exchange.

This must be at least the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, right?

They even offered a helping hand.

There's absolutely no need for that, okay?

Gong Lian looked embarrassed and asked in a low voice, "Third Senior Brother, does our sect have any cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage this year?"

Zhao Qing shook his head, his eyes fixed on the man and woman in front of him, his gaze filled with shock and disbelief.

He murmured, "These are not disciples of the Xuantian Sect. They are two puppets."

Gong Lian was taken aback: "What?"

Zhao Qing gritted her teeth and whispered, "Don't you think they look very familiar?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Lian began to seriously examine the man and woman opposite her.

If you ask me if it's familiar, it does feel somewhat familiar.

But he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

But soon, Gong Lian understood—because a small figure walked out from not far away.

He exclaimed in shock, "Luo Zhenhuan's puppet!"

Isn't that the puppet that Luo Huanzhen, who had just met them once, was originally following behind?

At this very moment, the two puppets at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage were wielding weapons, forcing the five disciples kneeling on the ground to extract the inner cores of demonic beasts.

Luo Huanzhen then bent over and started stuffing the items into his storage bag.

Gong Lian looked at Luo Zhenhuan with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

How did she come up with the idea of ​​not handing in the task first and having the puppet do the work for her?

Why didn't he and his third senior brother think of doing this?

"Third Senior Brother," Gong Lian turned her head to speak to Zhao Qing, but found that the person beside her had disappeared at some point.

When he looked up again, he was already in front of Luo Huanzhen.

The disciples who were kneeling on the ground searching for things saw Zhao Qing appear and, without thinking twice, began to plead for help.

"Senior Brother Zhao, please help us!"

"Senior Brother Zhao, it wasn't easy for us to get these demon cores. If Junior Uncle just snatches them away like this, we're finished in this competition!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"Get up, all of you get up first." Zhao Qing helped the disciples who were kneeling on the ground to their feet, and then questioned Luo Luo Zhenzhen with disappointment in his eyes, "Zhenzhen, you've gone too far. You just plundered your fellow disciples' belongings like this, leaving them nothing at all?"

Upon seeing this, Gong Lian's expression tightened, and she quickly dispelled her concealment and came to Zhao Qing's side.

"Third Senior Brother, why are you out here?"

This is not their business, so why are they getting involved?

I felt a little dissatisfied.

Luo was still happily collecting her things when she saw the two people who suddenly appeared. She frowned and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Zhao Qing retorted indignantly, "Of course something happened! How dare you bully the weak? Your master and senior brothers taught you to be kind, compassionate, and to care for the vulnerable. Have you forgotten all that?"

Luo Zhenhuan has absolutely no obligation to be morally coerced.

She raised her head, her expression calm and collected, her voice still childlike, "They were the ones who tried to seize me first. Would you please trouble your kind and benevolent junior disciple Zhao to find out what happened?"

Zhao Qing, with a stern face, said unhappily, "Then you shouldn't have taken it all. After all, we're all fellow disciples. Couldn't you have left some for them?"

Why take it all?

Luo Huanzhen's lips curled up, revealing two small tiger teeth: "No way."

Not only is it not possible, but it's also not feasible.

Since they dared to stand up for them, Zhao Qing would have to leave them something in return.

Luo Huanzhen took a step back.

Then, the male and female puppets stepped forward again, their weapons aimed directly at Zhao Qing and Gong Lian.

Zhao Qing's expression changed. "You, what do you want to do?"

Luo Huanzhen shrugged his little shoulders. "Isn't it obvious to me? Let's go!"

Female puppet: "Yes, my benefactor!"

Zhao Qing and Gong Lian were severely beaten.

Luo Zhen finally let out the breath he had been holding in in the pharmacology room.

"You dared to annoy me while I was in the pharmacology lab! And you even dared to come out and advise me, criticize me! You weren't the one whose demon core was stolen, were you?"

Just then, a small scroll above their heads lit up with a red light:

[Match successful. Please proceed to the arena for a one-on-one duel within one incense stick's time. Failure to do so within the time limit will be considered a loss.]

Luo Huan stopped, weighing the demon cores he had plundered and hunted; there were quite a few.

That should be enough.

She scoffed, "Consider yourselves lucky."

Luo Huanzhen mounted the male puppet's neck, and the two of them transformed into light and flew towards the direction where the mission was to be completed.

The disciples dispersed from the spot.

We must hurry and go back to slay the monsters.

Gong Lian covered her eyes, staring at Zhao Qing with a reproachful look: "Third Senior Brother, why did you come out just now? You made us lose all the demon cores we worked so hard to kill."

Zhao Qing's mouth was bleeding, and he was in excruciating pain all over his body.

As he cast a healing spell on himself, he whispered, "I just felt that what she was doing was wrong. And with her stealing other people's demon cores like that, she's definitely going to take our rankings. That's why I spoke up to stop her. Didn't you see she even revived two puppets?"

I really underestimated Luo Huanzhen.

It seems that she really did complete the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages on her own merits.

Gong Lian: "How did she do that?"

Zhao Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Yes, how did you do that?

He suddenly remembered the unusual behavior of the puppet elder at the mission handover office and was startled.

"I understand! She seized the puppet elder's dantian and spiritual root, and transferred them to these two mission targets! He's furious, that's why he gave you a low score!"

Gong Lian suddenly realized.

Zhao Qing gritted her teeth and sneered, "She's going to hand in her mission now. Just wait, the Puppet Elder won't let her get away with this."

Luo Huanzhen, accompanied by two mission puppets, rushed back to the pharmacology room at top speed.

The puppet elder sat in his seat, facing the little baby in front of him, his eyes gloomy.
