The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Uncle-Master, that's how it was." Ning Sang clasped his hands together and bowed to the Qingfeng Sect elder. "The whole process only took a dozen or so breaths. Our senior brother told us to go down the mountain first and wait for reinforcements."

He and his senior sister went to forcibly seal it.

Uncle Master, how is the situation at the altar?

After we came down the mountain, we sealed off the entire area. Apart from Lu'er, who ran up halfway and hasn't been heard from since, no one else has set foot on Tiangang Mountain.

The Qingfeng Sect's Grand Elder, with his completely white eyebrows and beard, stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "You did the right thing."

Bai Yu and Jiang Chen immediately relayed the message to the inside of the gate, saying that they had only been teleported by the formation to a location near the edge of the desolate state, and were neither in danger nor injured.

There's still no news about Lu'er; she's probably been randomly teleported to another location.

The only thing to worry about now is the ferocious beast that escaped.

The Ten Mile God had specifically instructed that the seal must be carefully guarded, otherwise the cultivation world would face a bloodbath.

However, the distance is too great, and Bai Yu and his group are affected by various factors when sending messages, so they are temporarily unable to communicate normally and do not know if they have any clues about the ferocious beast.

Hopefully we can find it soon and seal it away or kill it while it's weakened.

Otherwise, once it returns to its peak condition, chaos will ensue!

Ning Sang frowned slightly and sighed, "When we came to check, the seal was perfectly fine."

How did they suddenly break out of here?

Fortunately, both my senior brother and sister are alright. Perhaps we'll have news of that ferocious beast when they return.

The Grand Elder stroked his beard and solemnly instructed, "Take the disciples back to rest first. All the major sects have gathered here today, so there's no point in you guarding the outer perimeter."

This period of training down the mountain has been quite long. Upon returning to the mountain gate, you should reflect on your actions, observations, and feelings during your time in the world. This will be of great use in improving your cultivation.

"I will follow your teachings, Master." Ning Sang bowed and took his leave.

The dignified and otherworldly elder turned and headed towards the mountain peak. At this moment, the leaders of the other six major sects were discussing how to break the Star Shift Formation personally set up by the Supreme God.

"Yesterday, the ferocious beast escaped, and the laws of Heaven experienced a violent shock. It is unknown whether the two are related."

A beautiful woman with an elegant and luxurious appearance, wearing a golden phoenix headdress, frowned slightly and said in a soft and charming voice, "Fortunately, it is from a long time ago, and the person who set it up was obviously not good at formations. Although it is ingenious, there are still loopholes to be found."

Once the formation is successfully broken, I will use the Heaven-Defying Rejuvenation Technique to see if I can recreate the scene around the altar from yesterday.

The leaders of the other sects said politely, "Thank you for your trouble, Fairy Rong."

With the combined efforts of the two sect elders skilled in formations to break the spell, the formation secretly operating atop the mountain gradually came to a halt.

A gentle breeze swept across the mountaintop, stirring up fine sand as a dozen ethereal elders slowly entered the inner circle.

Traces of yesterday's shattering of gravel into powder remained on the ground;

The altar had long since vanished, leaving only a deep, bottomless hole.

Fairy Rong took a handful of rose-red perfume powder from her sachet and sprinkled it into the air, then cast a spell in an attempt to recreate the scene from yesterday.

Normally, she wouldn't need to be so cautious.

But what we are about to witness today is an ancient ferocious beast comparable to a supreme god; the seal set up by the Ten Mile Supreme God; and the disorder of the laws of heaven and earth yesterday. With all these factors combined, the slightest mistake could easily trigger a violent backlash.

She had no choice but to be careful.

"This is a picture of the altar before Bai Yu and his group arrived," explained the Jade Maiden Sect elder, who had some knowledge of this technique. "It seems the seal is indeed working properly."

The image then flickered as if due to poor signal. A moment later, a group of cultivators dressed in pristine white appeared on the mountaintop, led by Jiang Chen and Bai Yu.

"Fairy Rong, please pause!" The Grand Elder of the Qingfeng Sect said solemnly in a low voice, "Could you zoom in on the image a bit more?"

The rose-red, shimmering powder shifted, and the image, once still, became much more refined.

"What is that girl doing? The one standing to Jiang Chen's right rear, the one wearing a jade hairpin!"

"The right hand makes a hand gesture; this gesture is quite strange."

The First Elder frowned and slowly shook his head, saying, "This is not the method of our Qingfeng Sect. Lu'er used Jiang Chen to block the view, but it looks more like some kind of talisman technique of the Feichai School."

All eyes were on the junior named Lulu.

As Fairy Rong slowly replayed the scene, an elder skilled in sealing techniques exclaimed in surprise, "She's trying to break the seal!"

“That’s right, judging from her skill level, this must be the first time she’s done this.”

"Hiss... This little girl's technique is amazing. The Qingfeng Sect mainly practices swordsmanship, how can they have such exquisite skills?"

"I'm afraid the beast's breaking of the seal is related to her!"

The scene continues, and after "Lu'er" tampered with it, Jiang Chen and Bai Yu also stepped forward to check. At this time, there was no problem visible on the surface of the seal.

But just as Bai Yu was preparing to reinforce the seal as usual, an unexpected change occurred!

A crack suddenly appeared on the altar, and the image created by the rose-red powder seemed to be affected, causing the whole thing to distort and stutter.

After a brief moment of distraction, Jiang Chen pushed Lu'er away with a palm strike, and he and Bai Yu rushed towards the altar; the rest of the group began to retreat downwards.

At the crucial moment, the scene abruptly stopped. When the complete scene reappeared, all that could be seen was a fiery red color. The overwhelming pressure was transmitted through the screen, causing everyone to hold their breath for a few moments.

When the scene shifts again, only a deep hole remains on the mountaintop in front of everyone.

The Grand Elder took a deep breath and said, "This matter is now clear. My Qingfeng Sect has caused a great disaster by failing to properly instruct its disciples, and we should take responsibility for it."

I will immediately send a message to all disciples of the Qingfeng Sect: Lu'er has secretly learned the secret techniques of other sects and privately broke the seal to release the ferocious beast. Her crime is heinous!

Effective immediately, her status as an inner disciple of the Qingfeng Sect is revoked. An immediate search is underway to apprehend Lu'er!

"Fellow Daoist Langyue, there is no need to blame yourself. Although Lu'er is a member of the Qingfeng Sect, her actions are her own decision and have nothing to do with the Qingfeng Sect."

The most urgent task is to find the ferocious beast and bring Lu'er to justice.

The worst fear is that they might be colluding and making deals behind the scenes, releasing the ferocious beast and coordinating their actions; that would be a huge problem.

"This matter concerns the safety of the entire cultivation world. The search for the ferocious beast and Lu'er's whereabouts requires the joint efforts of all the major sects. Let's issue the Iron Blood Order."

……

In the 35th era of the cultivation world, year 6315, the seven major sects jointly issued the Iron Blood Order.

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Lu'er, a former inner disciple of the Qingfeng Sect, regardless of whether she is dead or alive.

Search for the escaped ancient ferocious beast sealed away—a fiery red behemoth.

Anyone who can bring back information related to both will receive a huge reward!

In a short time, news of the Iron Blood Order spread throughout the thirteen states.

However, Lu'er, who was in the VIP section of the auction at the Treasure Pavilion in White Elephant City, Faraway State, was completely unaware of this.

She was peeling open a Fire Spirit Fruit and slowly savoring it.

"Lu'er, why were you so infatuated with that senior brother Jiang Chen before?" Qin Xiuer asked casually, leaning back in her seat and listening to the usual lively conversation at the auction.

Her peeling of fruit paused slightly. "Of course, it's because he'll become the leader of the Qingfeng Sect in the future!"

Besides, I hate Bai Yu the most; she's such a competitive woman.

The man she likes, I'm going to steal him and play with him!

There are countless beauties in every sect across the thirteen states who adore Senior Brother Chen. If I could win him over and become the sect leader's wife, wouldn't I be the envy of tens of thousands of women?

Chapter Sixteen: Encounter with Butterfly Valley

"Just for this?" Qin Xiuer asked in astonishment.

A sly smile appeared on Lu'er's face. "What do you mean by 'just for this'?"

Brother Xiu, you need to put yourself in their shoes. What if you had a senior sister with a bright future and goddess-like appearance, and a senior brother who always overshadowed you?

You could easily use a few tricks and schemes to get your senior sister to take care of you, and incidentally make your disliked senior brother sulk. What would you do?

Qin Xiuer changed her gender and thought about it; it was indeed the right choice.

Who the hell doesn't want to hold a beautiful woman in their arms and make other men envious and jealous?

In my past life, which man around me didn't fantasize about various big stars?

Even in some novels, the main heroine is always the most beautiful and powerful woman in the world;

The harem consists of big stars, innocent anchors, school beauties from prestigious universities, and even the girl next door. Basically, it's a group of girls that everyone is madly pursuing but can't have, who humbly and willingly fawn over the protagonist.

That's what's truly exhilarating! Being able to manipulate other people's goddesses is the real thrill!

Thinking of this, Qin Xiuer glanced at Lu'er and sighed inwardly.

She is quite pretty, but her abilities are lacking.

In addition, since no one fawned over her and she was the one eagerly trying to please them, they didn't really pay any attention to her, so even if she got them, she didn't feel much of a sense of accomplishment.

and so……

He focused his attention on the system interface, where Yang Qianqian, being within the system's coverage area, had already begun automatically increasing his favorability.

Watching the numbers jump and grow little by little, Qin Xiuer felt like she was downloading a video from the internet.

On the auction stage, a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure was introducing a strangely shaped wooden root while keeping the atmosphere lively. The crowd in the hall was in high spirits, but Lu'er curled her lips and muttered a mocking smile at them, a bunch of country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

Not to mention earth lotus roots, even heavenly lotus roots in human form are plentiful in the Qingfeng Sect's warehouse. As long as you have enough points, you can exchange them.

Of course, if you need it yourself, you certainly won't need to spend your precious points.

You can easily find any senior brother, flirt with him, and pick out even more precious natural treasures at will.

Faced with such low-quality lotus root, Lu'er naturally looked down on it.

Seeing this, Qin Xiuer didn't get involved. It seemed that her moment of glory was still far away. She would first rest and recuperate, waiting to shock everyone and win over the city lord's daughter!

No matter what, Yang Qianqian was the object of affection for many men in Baixiang City. Conquering her would have been far more fulfilling than successfully winning over Lu'er.

With the system at his fingertips, he was full of confidence!

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen and Bai Yu were finding a good spot to land and prepare for a rest.

As a ghost, Zi Ling could not stay away from the most yin place for too long, so after flying for a while, they landed in a valley.

The area is lush with trees, the valley floor is perpetually shrouded in darkness, and a babbling brook flows through it, making it the perfect place for her to rest and rejuvenate.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you two masters." Zi Ling bowed deeply, then floated into the cool stream and closed her eyes to absorb the Yin energy.

Jiang Chen took out a Xuanling Pill from his spatial storage and put it in his mouth. While his senior sister was bending over to straighten her clothes, he lightly touched the tip of his tongue with his lips and gently patted her chest with his right palm.
