The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Rong Miaoling: "Esoteric Buddhism...your Holy Maiden?"

A girl dressed in black with a somewhat androgynous style nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! My Holy Maiden is a beautiful girl with an exceptionally gentle personality, whose face is always filled with the thought of 'I care for all living beings.'"

"Wait... let me take another look at the words."

She then pulled out a book titled "Notes on the Identification of Saintesses" and continued reading from it:

"She is utterly virtuous, the hope of Miaohua Continent, and the greatest woman in the world!"

Rong Miaoling's face twitched involuntarily: "Is there such a person?"

"Sorry, I've never seen him before."

Another youth spoke up: "How could we not have seen it? We sensed the aura of the Star Golden Core, that's why we rushed over. You have no idea we almost circled the entire Miaohua Continent!"

"Third brother, you still have to say that! If it weren't for your terrible sense of direction and leading the way blindly, we would have found the Holy Maiden long ago and happily taken her back!"

"Oh well... it doesn't matter whether we catch her sooner or later. Now that she's broken through to the Star Core stage, it proves she's right! She can't escape!"

Upon hearing these words, Rong Miaoling's pupils dilated in shock.

Take them back?

Star Golden Elixir?

Ah? ? ?

no……

"Is your Tantric sect a legitimate sect?" she couldn't help but ask, a question that struck at the heart of her soul.

"Of course it's legitimate, a thousand times, ten thousand times legitimate! Tantric Buddhism! The most powerful sect in the entire Miaohua Continent, how could it not be legitimate?"

Rong Miaoling was certainly aware of the status of Tantric Buddhism, but... the appearance of this group of people truly shattered her stereotypes about Tantric Buddhism.

She had met several people from the Tantric sect, most of whom were aloof and otherworldly. But these young men... if they weren't at the Mahayana stage, she really wouldn't have been able to tell that they were from the Tantric sect!

However, since they are practitioners of Tantric Buddhism, we can rest assured.

Rong Miaoling spoke up: "If it's the Star Golden Core, then the Holy Maiden you're talking about, could it be Chi Miao?"

"Chi Miao? What a beautiful name! Is she gentle? Does she have 'I care for all living beings' written on her face? Is she particularly serious?"

"Aaaaaaah! I can't wait to see the Saintess's true face! Where is she?!"

Rong Miaoling pointed her finger in the direction of Tianbei Cave, then hesitated before speaking, "She...uh...um..."

Before she could continue speaking...

The young men and women of the Tantric sect flew away with a "whoosh," and the swirling wind made her look even more like a woman suffering from misfortune.

Rong Miaoling: "...?"

No!

What's wrong with your Tantric Buddhism?!

However, the Tantric sect has actually emerged, and it seems to have recognized Chi Miao as the saintess.

Could Chi Miao really be a holy woman of Tantric Buddhism?!

Rong Miaoling grew increasingly desperate, and finally knelt down again:

"My Xuanji... why are you so unfortunate?! The person you insisted on marrying is a holy maiden of the Tantric sect, whose duty is to exorcise demons and protect the righteous path!"

"Xuanji! How...how could you be so unlucky!!"

This plot is starting to sound more and more like a storybook.

What kind of love story is this between the leaders of immortals and demons, which will destroy all living beings in the world?

But given Chi Miao's eccentric nature... it's hard to say, hard to say!

……

Chi Miao was taken by You Ying to the edge of a huge ocean.

The place was filled with lotus flowers of different shades of blue and pink, and the surrounding area was covered with the skeleton of some kind of huge creature.

The ocean was filled with spiritual energy, incredibly rich.

Even after racking his brains, Chi Miao couldn't imagine what kind of creature's skeleton could be so enormous, like a pillar supporting the heavens and earth, surrounding mountains and seas.

Youying grabbed her by the back of her collar. He was also a member of the Heavenly Pride Group, but he had not yet revealed his demon form.

Although his human appearance wasn't top-tier, his mysterious and eccentric aura, once revealed, possessed an indescribable kind of handsomeness.

On the way to kidnap Chi Miao, he revealed his identity as a candidate for the Demon Clan.

Chi Miao struggled for a while and tried to fool him, but when she realized it was useless, she gave up and let him catch her and fly here.

Because... she didn't sense any murderous intent from him.

Youying found a place to stand, and then gently placed Chi Miao on the ground, displaying his gentlemanly qualities to the fullest.

Chi Miao asked curiously, "Where is this?"

Youying honestly replied, "Tianbei Cave."

Chi Miao was taken aback. Only then did she look around and, amidst a vast expanse of beautiful scenery, discover a faceless statue.

The statue is made of an unknown material, and its construction is unknown, but just looking at it from afar gives one a very comfortable and soothing feeling.

Unsurprisingly, this is the image of the Heavenly Compassionate Immortal.

Crucially, Chi Miao's Sorrowful Sword flew out at this moment, shouting as it flew towards the statue.

"Master! Former master!!!"

The statue, of course, did not respond to him.

Even at this moment, the two could still feel the deep bond between the Weeping Sword and the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal.

Gou Shi System: "Waaaaah! So touching! So touching... Meeting after thousands of years, even though the other is just a stone statue."

"Susu-chan, if Watashi also turned into an invincible giant cockroach, would you still love me?"

Chi Miao's comment: "I love you, Mom."

Gou Shi System: "You don't understand them at all! Look at their Weeping Sword and Heavenly Sorrow Immortal!"

The next second! The Sorrowful Sword slashed directly at the statue of the Celestial Sorrowful Immortal.

"You heartless bastard! I fought alongside you my whole life! You ascended to immortality and didn't take me with you? You even called me useless since I was a kid! Giving me Jianjian made me feel inferior! Turned me into a masochist! Now I'm in this mess all because of you!"

"Didn't expect that, did you? Now I've found a master who's not only beautiful but also more talented than you! She has an aura that you could never catch up to in your entire life. I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Slash, slash, slash!!"

Chi Miao, Gou Shi System, and You Ying, the three of them, have fallen silent and suffered cerebellar atrophy.

no……

What grudge do you hold against me?

They didn't even spare the idols!

Chi Miao: "Are you still watching? I think I could try learning it."

The Gou Shi system's voice trembled: "Don't mess with them. Vadashi has retreated, and once he's retreated, it's for life..."

Chi Miao was also afraid that the Weeping Sword would really damage the statue of the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal, so he quickly put the sword away.

Just kidding... If anyone needs to take responsibility, it should be her!

Yu Ying, standing to the side, couldn't help but chuckle: "This is really interesting... If it weren't for the time crunch, and the fact that I can't wait for the gap to widen and let other Demon King candidates get there first, I really would like to stay in the Prodigy Group a little longer!"

He hid in Nine Swords Mountain for about three years, his purpose being... the Heavenly Sorrow Cave.

He should have done it a long time ago, but Chi Miao is just too interesting sometimes.

They recognize demons... and they love interesting and different people the most.

Before I knew it, I'd been lying here until today.

"Speaking of which..." Chi Miao stared at You Ying, stroking his chin, and said, "I actually have a question I'm particularly curious about that I'd like to ask you."

Youying smiled deeply: "Ask away. Given that you've given me some decent memories and experiences during this time, I'll answer to the best of my knowledge."
