Yun Wan'er felt a metallic sweetness rush to her throat, and her vision blurred.

The disdainful and contemptuous gazes around her were like countless red-hot needles, piercing her proud pride.

wrong!

That's not right!

She is clearly the future jewel of the Tianyan Sect!

Senior Brother Gu will fall for her, and Master will pave the way for her. As long as she shows the slightest weakness, all the young talents in Lingzhou should bow down to her!

How did it turn out like this?

Where exactly did we go wrong?!

The disciples of Tianyan Sect were even more ashen-faced, glaring fiercely at Shen Zhaozhao, yet wary of the gleaming sword in her hand.

The atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, ready to snap at any moment.

Just as the silence was at its peak, a sudden surge of spiritual energy and a commotion of voices came from the entrance of the valley.

"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"

"The City Lord has arrived!"

The crowd parted like waves being cleaved, and scattered to make way.

The Lord of Yunqi City arrived hurriedly with a team of elite guards, his face showing obvious anxiety.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Yun Wan'er's dim eyes instantly blazed with an astonishing light.

She remembered clearly how respectful this person was in front of her master, Lingxiao Zhenren's, divine sense.

So what if Shen Zhaozhao is arrogant?

So what if Pei Lang is arrogant?

Before this powerful figure who held absolute power in Yunqi City, they were nothing but clowns!

If the city lord speaks up, for the sake of her master, True Person Lingxiao, would that bitch Shen Zhaozhao still dare to point a sword at her?!

She will avenge the humiliation she suffered today a hundredfold!

Yun Wan'er was overjoyed. She instantly adjusted her expression, suppressing the resentment in her eyes and adopting a stubborn look that was both aggrieved and unyielding. Her lips trembled slightly, and she was about to "complain" to the city lord about Shen Zhaozhao's "evil deeds," accusing her of "publicly humiliating her comrade"—

However, before she could even begin to utter her words, "Lord of the City..." filled with boundless grievance and trembling with emotion, the Lord of Yunqi City, on whom she had placed such high hopes and who commanded such power, slid down and knelt before Shen Zhaozhao.

Yun Wan'er: "???"

Shen Zhaozhao: "???"

The cultivators: "???"

What's going on?!

Half an hour ago.

As the Riftwind Valley secret realm dissipated like smoke, Immortal Lord Yunji's knees buckled, and he almost knelt down in front of Xie Linyuan again.

The young immortal's handsome face was filled with the despair of someone who had worked themselves to the bone: "Your Excellency! You...you can't do this! That's a secret realm in the lower realm! If you destroy it, how will I explain it to the Heavenly Dao?"

Xie Linyuan didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, merely casually brushing the edge of the teacup.

"I just trimmed it off as it was an eyesore."

He lazily raised an eyebrow, his shimmering peach blossom eyes filled with annoyance at being disturbed, and his voice carried an innate air of nobility: "Does this Venerable One have to consider the whims of Heaven when tending to his own courtyard?"

Yunji was so choked that his eyes rolled back. Involuntarily, the image of the group of bastards he saw on Mount Emei before he ascended to immortality flashed through his mind. They were slapping each other's genitals.

He really wanted to jump up and give his unreasonable boss a good thrashing.

Unfortunately, he couldn't.

Because he couldn't beat them.

This guy could really crush him.

Helpless, the frustrated worker could only swallow his pent-up anger, his eyes darting around, silently chirping to himself.

Keep pretending, you idiot.

Who doesn't know who he's doing this for?

cut.

He kept saying he would never let anyone sleep with him a second time, but now he's happily clearing obstacles for them. Come on, everyone, come and see how worthless his master is.

The black jade marrow was mixed with Ye Wushang's demonic energy. As long as the jade marrow was still there, the chicks in Riftwind Valley would fight more and more frantically. Not to mention, if someone was injured and bled, the dissipated blood and flesh spiritual energy would be a great tonic for the demonic energy.

Shen Zhaozhao and her group seemed to have the upper hand at the time, but if this dragged on, it was uncertain who would win.

Now look at him, he's just blown up the entire secret realm! Seriously, how come you're so awesome?!

Yun Ji lowered her eyes, her heart heavy, pondering how this would likely throw the entire cosmic order and cause and effect into chaos... Who knew where the variables might lead her astray...

Thinking of this, Yun Ji's face grew increasingly dark. However, just as he racked his brains, trying to come up with a lie that could fool the Heavenly Dao and cover up this mess—

"Yunji".

Xie Linyuan's slightly lazy and magnetic voice rang out again. He casually put down the bone china teacup, and his captivating peach blossom eyes glanced at Yun Ji: "Your appearance is already quite ordinary. If you also learn to be wicked, then you are truly beyond saving."

Yunji: "???" What the hell are you spouting?!

"The secret realm has been infiltrated by demonic energy, the source of which is unknown. The Lord of Yunqi City failed to supervise effectively, which is his dereliction of duty."

Seeing Yun Ji's bewildered expression, Xie Linyuan sighed almost imperceptibly, pressed his long, jade-like fingers to his brow, and said with a hint of helplessness, "This Venerable One has really had a hard time": "Are you just going to let this matter slide and let things take their course?"

Yunji: "..."

Damn it!

So you can't directly intervene, so you're just going to push me to do unpaid work, is that it?!

no? !
