When the two arrived at the Holy Star Sect, it was during the morning class.

All the disciples listened to the morning lesson in the square.

Chong Jiu, carrying Shu Jianyue, landed directly in front of the disciples of the Holy Star Sect.

Shu Jianyue looked at the Second Elder Du Chun, who was standing on the steps, and said, "It's been a long time, Second Elder."

Du Chun's eyelids twitched, and he immediately bowed and said, "Grandmaster Shu, didn't you go to the Eight Desolations?"

"Isn't it because someone touched something belonging to me that I came back to check?" Shu Jianyue turned to look at Yang Rui, who was coming this way.

Before Yang Rui could say anything, Shu Jianyue continued, "Sect Leader Yang, I've heard that your Holy Star Sect has acquired quite a few high-level spirit beasts in the past two years. Could you tell me where you found these spirit beasts?"

Yang Rui knew something bad was going to happen when she saw her. Everyone thought she would never come back after leaving, but she returned at this crucial moment.

None of those who left the Ten Realms before have ever returned.

Yang Rui panicked for a moment, then calmed down and said, "Like everyone else, I only hunted ordinary spirit beasts in the mountains. There are no spirit beasts with high cultivation levels."

Shu Jianyue looked at him coldly, "Oh, but that's not what I heard."

"Is Ji Qianheng lying?"

Yang Rui's heart tightened, but then she thought, what could Ji Qianheng possibly know? And she had no connection with him, so she calmed down.

"The Third Elder of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect is really good at talking nonsense. How come I, the Sect Master, didn't know that the Holy Star Sect had hunted many high-level spirit beasts?"

"I don't know what I did to offend him, that he would make such a fuss about our Holy Star Sect."

Shu Jianyue said, "Then you've offended someone very badly. You killed his brother and framed me. This is the hatred of killing your brother and destroying your clan, plus the hatred of almost making him betray his master and ancestors."

"Want to know how I found out?"

Before Yang Rui could answer, Shu Jianyue continued, "It was Ji Qianheng who found out about it himself. Unfortunately, he was also greedy and wanted to get Fuchen Mountain and the auction house as well."

She actually thought she had killed someone, but it turns out she's quite the actress, with really good acting skills.

Yang Rui vehemently denied it, shaking his head and saying, "This sect leader has no idea what Grandmaster Shu is talking about."

"How could I kill his brother to frame you? I don't even know who his brother is, let alone who you are, the strongest in the Ten Domains. How could I dare to frame you?"

Seeing his attitude, Shu Jianyue was too lazy to argue with him anymore. "Heh, I'll calculate that for you later. Take a look at this first." With that, she took out the list written by Lu Yiyang.

"This is a list of the spirit beasts that the Central Sect Master took away from Fuchen Mountain, totaling 236. Please hand it over."

Yang Rui looked at the list in her hand, and her smile froze for a moment. "Grandmaster Shu is joking. Our Holy Star Sect's spirit beasts are all hunted in the mountains by ourselves. How could they have been taken from Fuchen Mountain?"

"Besides, Fuchen Mountain has a barrier; how could we possibly get in?"

Shu Jianyue waved the list in her hand, looking at him coldly, "You don't acknowledge it?"

Yang Rui said with a wry smile, "We didn't do it, so how can we admit it?"

"Very good, I hope I won't regret it later." Shu Jianyue put away the list and began to form hand seals.

In the plaza, the disciples who were closest to the spirit beast were the first to suffer.

One by one, the spirit beasts were peeled off from their bodies.

Screams erupted one after another in the square.

Yang Rui knew that if he didn't stop it, the Holy Star Sect would be in trouble.

"Grandmaster Shu, please have mercy. Let's talk this out."

"Heh, it's too late to talk this out now." Although Shu Jianyue lowered her hand, shouts from her disciples continued to rang out.

The spirit beasts left their new master's spirit beast space and rushed towards Shu Jianyue. In an instant, she and Chong Jiu were surrounded by hundreds of spirit beasts.

Upon seeing this, Yang Rui's face began to contort.

"How...how did you do that? Why can you still summon a spirit beast that you've already contracted with?"

Shu Jianyue glanced at him and continued watching the spirit beasts approaching.

Once all the spirit beasts had arrived, he said, "If you voluntarily terminate the contract, I will not hold it against you for forcibly contracting the spirit beasts of my Fuchen Mountain. Otherwise, you will have to compensate me with the entire Holy Star Sect."

Yang Rui was taken aback at first, then looked at Shu Jianyue and laughed, "Heh, offering the entire Holy Star Sect as compensation, Shu Jianyue, you are very powerful, but you are not omnipotent, are you?"

"Although my Holy Star Sect is not the number one sect in the Eastern Continent, it is not one that can be bullied by anyone."

No matter how powerful he is, he's at most at the Nascent Soul stage. But if you include the patriarch, he's definitely comparable.

"Then you can try to see if I can do it," Shu Jianyue said, looking at the spirit beasts around her.

Chong Jiu said that the contract could not be forcibly terminated, otherwise only these spirit beasts would be injured.

Shu Jianyue unleashed her full power, and everyone in the square, except for the spirit beasts and Chong Jiu around her, knelt down.

Yang Rui stared at her in horror. What kind of power was this?!

A sharp cracking sound came from his face.

Shu Jianyue looked at the spirit beasts around her and said, "Don't worry, if it's not voluntary, I will make the decision for him."

The spirit beasts cried out joyfully.

Several spirit beasts remained silent.

Seeing this, Shu Jianyue said, "If it is voluntary, I will not force him to leave."

The spirit beasts stepped forward. "We did it voluntarily; our master treats us very well."

Shu Jianyue smiled and nodded, "Then you should go back. He has treated you well, so you should reciprocate accordingly, understand?"

The spirit beasts smiled, nodded, bowed, and left.

The group of people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their spirit beasts return.

They are a good match, so I don't want to give them up.

Shu Jianyue raised her voice, which echoed throughout the entire Holy Star Sect, "Anyone willing to come out and terminate the contract will be rewarded with a Spirit Nourishing Pill."

"If you wait for me to take action, then your only fate will be to pass through the underworld."

Yang Rui wanted to stand up and refute, but found that she was completely suppressed by Shu Jianyue's aura.

He can't even speak, let alone stand up!

The disciples kneeling on the ground looked at each other in bewilderment. Those who could obtain these spirit beasts were naturally not ordinary disciples; they were all inner disciples and personal disciples.

Therefore, they are not stupid.

They all knew the consequences of forcibly terminating the contract, but they had also heard of the strength of this grandmaster of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect. Everyone had cultivated to this point, and it had not been easy for anyone, so they did not want to gamble with their future.

Once they figured it out, they started raising their hands, and once the first one did, the second would follow.

Shu Jianyue stood aside and waited. Since the contract had been terminated, she would naturally keep her word and give him a Spirit Nourishing Pill.

In a short time, nearly a hundred people terminated their contracts, and now there are still more than 120 people who have not terminated them.

Shu Jianyue didn't urge him, and sat there waiting leisurely.

Chong Jiu glanced at Yang Rui, who was secretly making hand gestures, and directly used his aura to press him down and pin him to the ground.

Yang Rui spat out a mouthful of cold medicine and stared intently at Chong Jiu.
