About an hour later, Lian Pihou woke up. When he opened his eyes, he was a little confused and couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

It was not until he felt pain in his body that he realized he was still alive!

His heart tightened, and he was worried about the disciples of Tianshu Immortal Academy. He immediately turned his head to look over, and saw many seriously injured disciples lying on the ground. It was obvious that they had all been treated.

Lianpi's thick lips moved a few times, showing some surprise.

Who saved them? !

Just then, there were slight footsteps on the other side where he was lying. He turned his head alertly and saw a red shadow.

Yun Zheng?!

Yun Zheng half-knelt beside him, and teased with a smile, "Dean, we've saved so many disciples, isn't it time for you to express your gratitude?"

"You...why are you back!" Lian Pihou looked shocked.

Yun Zheng reached out and felt his pulse again. After finding that his pulse was stable, she smiled and replied, "Come back if you want."

"Where are those mysterious and powerful people?"

"They are all dead, but the leader got away."

Lian Pihou became agitated upon hearing that the mysterious warriors were dead. He kept asking, "Did you bring any reinforcements back? Or do you have a god backing you? Which god is it? Let me thank them!"

"I have no backing." Yun Zheng smiled.

"How is that possible..."

Yun Zheng said, "As for reinforcements, we did find three. They are also members of my Fengyun team. The eight of us Fengyun have defended Tianshu Immortal Academy. Dean, if you want to express your gratitude, please get better soon and give us some substantial rewards."

Lian Pihou was slightly shocked, "Is it you?"

He was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the ground. Fortunately, as soon as he moved, Yun Zheng pressed his shoulders and stopped him.

Lian Pihou's old eyes widened, "Are you kidding?"

"No." Yun Zheng shook her head and explained, "Because I have already broken through to the seventh level of the Heavenly God Realm, and Lan and the others..."

Before she could finish, Lian Pihou exclaimed in surprise.

"What?!"

Seventh level of the Heavenly God Realm? Did he hear correctly? Was this girl a pervert? She had broken through to the seventh level of the Heavenly God Realm in such a short time! This sounded incredible!

His voice woke up many disciples and frightened the seriously injured ones into thinking that the enemy had returned.

However, they soon realized that it was the Dean's voice and they breathed a sigh of relief.

The dean was shocked, he must have learned about the power of the senior sister and the others! Not to mention the dean, they were still in disbelief.

Yun Zheng continued talking with Lian Pihou, but before long, she keenly sensed several powerful and restrained auras approaching here.

"Dean, you take a rest first."

She left a word and stood up. She quickly opened her blood-red pupils and looked outside through the barrier. She saw several figures appearing in the distant void.

The next second, those figures appeared silently outside the barrier.

Even though Lian Pihou was a thick-skinned man, he realized that something was wrong. He only regretted that his spiritual power had not recovered yet and he could not sense the danger.

"Girl, be careful!" Lian Pihou's face was solemn and he could only give a reminder.

"Yeah." Yun Zheng responded.

And the next moment, those figures actually passed through the barrier she set up and came to the territory of Tianshu Immortal Academy.

As soon as these people appeared, they attracted the attention of the little friends.

The friends looked at each other, stood up silently, and prepared to fight.

Yun Zheng quickly came up to them, looked at these unknown visitors, and asked calmly, "Three fellow Taoists, what brings you here?"

Among the three, the young woman in plain clothes who was leading the group looked at Yun Zheng with a look of doubt and surprise. "Are you Yun Zheng, the senior sister of Tianshu Immortal Academy?"

"Yes." Yun Zheng smiled slightly.

"So young?" The woman in plain clothes was quite surprised. Then she moved her eyes around and saw several young people standing there. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Our master wants to recruit you. Please pack up and come back with us."

Recruit?

The disciples of Tianshu Immortal Academy watched everything that was happening with nervous expressions. They swallowed silently. If the eldest sister and the others left, they would be in danger.

The disciples looked at Yun Zheng eagerly.

When Lian Pihou heard this, he was so angry that he sat up and almost started cursing.

How could he just give away the disciple he had recruited with so much effort, by deceiving... ahem?

Lian Pi was extremely angry, "You are going too far! Have you ever considered my feelings? They are disciples of Tianshu Immortal Academy!"

"Oh?" The plain-clothed woman raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled. "Tianshu Immortal Academy has been destroyed. It exists in name only. These people are all top geniuses. Do you want to use this shabby Tianshu Immortal Academy to trap them for life? You are a mean person if you do this."

"The mysterious group that besieged you not long ago were from the Wanqi family, and our Huyan family is a family that can compete with the Wanqi family. The people sent by the Wanqi family were annihilated, but they will not give up and will come back again. So, what's wrong with us protecting the talented seedlings that you can't protect?"

The plain-dressed woman's voice was gentle, but every word she spoke carried a heavy weight.

Lian Pihou was speechless. After thinking about it carefully, it was true. Not only could their Tianshu Immortal Academy not protect Yun Zheng and the others, but it would also cause them to die prematurely.

The disciples didn't dare to say a word.

In fact, what the woman in plain clothes said makes sense.

"We refuse." Yun Zheng looked calm.

The plain-clothed woman was not angry. Instead, she smiled gently and asked, "Why?"

Yun Zheng explained, "We can come and go freely in Tianshu Immortal Academy. If we join your family, we will lose our freedom and there will be many rules and regulations. I'm sorry, please forgive us for disappointing your kindness."

The plain-clothed woman smiled slowly. "Miss Yun, it's true that you yearn for freedom, but not everyone in this world can be free. If you don't return with us today, you will be killed by the Wanqi family tomorrow. Without life, how can there be freedom?"

"We may not be able to defeat the Wanqi family." Yun Zheng said with a faint smile.

The plain-clothed woman looked slightly surprised, then smiled. "Miss Yun, you are indeed courageous, but the Wanqi family is far more formidable than you imagine. Even if you survive, what about your companions?"

Yun Zheng smiled but said nothing.

The woman in plain clothes was puzzled for a moment when she saw that Yun Zheng was so calm and composed and refused to listen to her. She frowned slightly. Why couldn't she see through Yun Zheng?

However, since persuasion doesn't work, we have no choice but to use force.
