The day before heading to Yu Feng City, Lu Yuhuai visited Song Qi again, this time giving her a map showing routes to the demon city.

“I only remembered this yesterday. It was drawn by me a while ago, and I don’t know if anything has changed over there.” Lu Yuhuai took a sip of tea. “So, you can judge for yourself.”

"Thank you, Master." Song Qi put the map away, went back, memorized its contents, and then put it in his room.

She brought a lot of storage items with her this time, from regular storage bags to hairpins and bracelets, just in case she lost her storage bags.

"If I lose you, you should be able to find me, right?" Song Qi looked at Qingyuan, who was sitting on the soft couch eating peaches. There was already a pile of fruit pits left on the table.

She didn't understand why a sword could consume so much food.

"Are you going to abandon me?" Qingyuan Taozi stopped eating, looked up at Song Qi, and stared at him with wide eyes.

“If danger arises, I might just leave you there, and you can find someone to rescue me.” Song Qi said expressionlessly.

Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course."

"Will anything stop you from finding me?"

Qingyuan pursed his lips: "If the other party forcibly terminates our contract, there might be problems."

"Okay." Song Qi nodded.

"Will this be very dangerous?" Qingyuan frowned. "If it's dangerous, why don't we just not go?"

Song Qi gave Qingyuan a look: "Did you create this person just to be a mascot for the Green Mountain Sect?"

"Hmph, I was just worried about you, and you took my kindness for granted." Qingyuan threw the peach pit aside and jumped off the soft couch. "If I really didn't want to do anything, why would I make a contract with you?"

"Oh, clean up the trash."

Qingyuan opened his mouth.

"Hurry up and pack your things, or you won't be able to eat here again." Song Qi gave Qing Yuan a look and went back to sleep.

They had to gather very early in the morning.

Song Qi knew most of the ten newcomers who went this time.

Aside from Feng Tuo, there's also Duan Yang, the crybaby young master of the Duan family, Fang Yue, and Fang Hui.

Fang Hui has been much quieter lately. Although Song Qi doesn't know exactly what happened, he can guess that it has something to do with Feng Tuo.

Moreover, even if Fang Hui wanted to cause trouble for her, he couldn't. He was already no match for Song Qi, and now she had suppressed him by several minor realms.

Song Qi stood next to Feng Tuo with his sword in hand, and many people's eyes drifted over and landed on Song Qi's sword.

Although the Qingyuan Sword is now basically the representative of "shameless" weapon spirits, it is still a divine weapon, and no matter how shameless it is, everyone still wants it.

Qingyuan Sword felt countless "admiring" gazes falling on it and excitedly swayed.

"Behave yourself," Song Qi transmitted to Qingyuan Sword.

The Azure Abyss Sword immediately fell silent; this brat was truly terrifying.

Because Luo Shuyun was the leader of the disciples, she couldn't come to find Song Qi for the time being, but she greeted her from afar.

Song Qi smiled at her.

Fang Yue stood to the side for a while before moving closer to Song Qi and glancing at Feng Tuo: "Yaoyao, you and Young Master Feng have made up?"

God knows how curious he was about this matter; the relationship between Song Qi and Feng Tuo is now one of the ten unsolved mysteries of the Green Mountain Sect.

"Mm." Song Qi nodded.

"When did you two meet?" Fang Yue glanced at Feng Tuo again. He didn't know why, but he always felt that this person was a bit scary, with too much killing intent about him.

"Perhaps in my past life."

To get to Yu Feng City, you need to take a "spaceship," which literally means a flying ship.

There is no place where you can teleport directly to the vicinity of Yufeng City. This is to prevent the demons from directly entering the human race's territory if Yufeng City is breached.

Everyone lined up to board the ship. There were no proper rooms for sleeping, only some places for them to sit and rest for a while.

Ten new students share one room.

Elder He said a few more things, and then everyone dispersed.

Song Qi returned to his room and immediately occupied a soft couch, while Feng Tuo sat down not far from him.

Fang Hui found a corner furthest away from Song Qi.

There were a few people talking at first, but they quieted down after entering the room.

Song Qi closed his eyes, sat on the couch, and began to cultivate.

"I want to go out and see," Qingyuan called out, his sword still stirring, especially clear in the quiet room.

This startled everyone.

"What happened?"

"It's nothing." Song Qi tossed the sword aside and closed his eyes.

Then the Azure Abyss Sword flew directly out of the window.

Everyone stared wide-eyed.

"Yaoyao... Qingyuan Sword has run away."

“He wants to go out and see the world,” Song Qi said, his eyes still closed. “Don’t worry about him.”

The disciples on the deck were also startled by the sudden appearance of the Azure Abyss Sword.

Qingyuan Sword noticed the looks in those people's eyes and knew that if he jumped out now, he could eat as much as he wanted. However, that brat wouldn't allow him to come out so easily.

Gasps of surprise came from outside the window.

Seeing the atmosphere in the room, two people turned and ran away.

Duan Yang also wanted to go out and take a look, but seeing Song Qi still sitting quietly cultivating, he forced himself to stay in the room.

He was still thinking about wiping away his previous humiliation in the upcoming Green Mountain Grand Competition.

Although no one thought there was anything wrong with him crying, he felt uncomfortable just thinking about how he had cried in front of so many people that day.

"What would you like to eat?" Feng Tuo asked Song Qi.

"No rush, Senior Sister Luo should be here soon."

"Hmm." Feng Tuo fell silent again.

Fang Hui's eyes darted back and forth between Feng Tuo and Song Qi: "My cousin is still the most capable after all."

Song Qi opened his eyes and looked at Fang Hui, coldly saying, "Oh, really? He is indeed more capable than you."

Fang Hui's expression was somewhat stiff.

"If you don't want to stay here, then get out. If you're itching for a beating, I can give you a good beating too." Song Qi rubbed his wrist.

"This place isn't just for you."

“I know, so what?” Song Qi curled his lips. “I even gave you a choice. You used to come and attack without saying a word.”

Feng Tuo's hand was already on the sword as he coldly stared at Fang Hui.

The sword has been drawn.

Fang Yue was speechless. He just didn't understand. It was one thing before, but now that it was clear he couldn't beat him, why did this person still keep provoking him?

He didn't intend to say anything in Fang Hui's defense, and simply watched silently.

Fang Hui shut his mouth.

Feng Tuo looked rather disappointed.

Song Qi closed his eyes again.

When Luo Shuyun came in, she noticed the strange atmosphere. She didn't look at Fang Hui, but simply placed the food box next to Song Qi.

"You're here." Song Qi smiled broadly, making no attempt to hide her excitement.

"Hmm." Luo Shuyun took out all the pastries and placed them on the table. "Yu Fengcheng's condition is not very good."

Song Qi casually picked up a pastry and nodded: "I can guess that."

"The Demon Lord came out in person today and killed a group of cultivators." Luo Shuyun's expression was somewhat grim. "He hadn't come out before."

"Is this forcing Master to take action?"

"have no idea."

The others stared longingly in their direction, but Song Qi noticed their gazes and pretended not to see them, eating the pastries even faster.

"You'd better not do that herb-gathering task," Luo Shuyun said. "Given the sect leader's and the Demon Lord's status, they'll definitely want to capture you and take you back."

Song Qi seemed to be deep in thought, and lowered his voice: "Master gave me a map of the Demon Realm. What do you think he meant by that?"

"System, what do you think?"

"Whether you go out or not, you'll be captured by the demon race anyway, it makes no difference," System NZ said. "So it's up to you."

Song Qi tapped the table: "I think I'd better go out and take a look. You know, for me, there's really no difference between the two."

Luo Shuyun pursed her lips: "Then I'll go with you."

When Qingyuan Sword returned, he was carrying a lot of things, it was unclear whether he had stolen them or they were gifts from others.

Song Qi was speechless: "What have you done?"

"Hehehe, they really like me. This is what they gave me." Qingyuan Sword spun around with a smug look on his face.

"It was ugly to begin with, and now it's even uglier." Song Qi could see the phantom of Qingyuan sitting on the sword, and all the things hanging on the sword were now hanging on its person.

Qingyuan's smile vanished instantly, and he let out a cold snort.

No one else could hear or see what happened between Song Qi and Qing Yuan.

All he noticed was Qingyuan circling around in front of Song Qi before collapsing onto the table in despair.

"Senior sister, we should have a specific mission this time, right?" Feng Tuo asked.

Luo Shuyun nodded: "Yes, the missions were originally set, but because the situation has changed, they need to be revised. I guess we won't be sending you out of the city; we'll just be assigning you to help out from behind."

"Huh?" a few people exclaimed.

“There’s nothing we can do about the Demon Lord’s appearance. His cultivation is about the same as the sect leader’s, and he could kill all of you with a single slap,” Luo Shuyun said.

A little girl sitting in the corner muttered, "If it's the late-stage Great Perfection of Mahayana, even a Void Refinement cultivator would be slapped to death."

"Then why are you still going out?" Feng Tuo looked at Song Qi, somewhat unable to understand.

Song Qi forgot that he hadn't explained his system to Feng Tuo yet: "My divine sense is strong, and I even have a chance against the Demon Lord."

“Then I can go out too.” Feng Tuo had just overheard their conversation and frowned.

After listening for a while, Fang Yue finally grasped the key point and looked at Song Qi in disbelief, asking, "So, your spiritual cultivation has already reached the Great Ascension stage?"

The room fell silent again.

Song Qi gave Fang Yue a look: "Guess?"

“No wonder they said Elder Fang couldn’t teach you.” Fang Yue glanced at Song Qi again, then gave Fang Hui a look. “Brother, you should thank Yao Yao for showing you mercy before.”

Duan Yang: ...

Duanwu Festival: ? ? ?

Suddenly I realized that crying isn't so bad.

“So, I’m going out too.” Feng Tuo emphasized again when he realized that his words had been diverted.

"Oh." Song Qi nodded. Feng Tuo was too stubborn. Even if he wasn't allowed to go, he would probably still sneak off on his own in the end.

"No, why are they all allowed to go out?" the girl who had spoken first exclaimed again, finally emerging from the corner. "I want to go out and see too."

Song Qi had a headache: "Because we have the ability to protect ourselves, while you don't."

"Alright, we'll see later." Luo Shuyun interrupted the conversation, which was about to escalate into an argument. "I'll go ask again."
