When Song Jiansheng uttered those words, Liu Yunzhao had a bad feeling.

Unfortunately, it was too late to shut them up; they had already said it outright.

"If Fairy Yun Zhao is willing to use your mustard seed space to take us for a while, it seems possible that we can escape this calamity."

Yes! Mustard seed space!

How could they forget that Liu Yunzhao possesses a mustard seed space!

Although only high-level mustard seed spaces can carry people, Liu Yunzhao, as the daughter of destiny, can still use low-level ones?

Before Song Jiansheng could finish speaking, everyone's eyes were already on Liu Yunzhao's face.

Could Liu Yunzhao refuse?

Obviously not.

Putting aside the fact that the image she had cultivated for herself did not allow her to refuse, even if she did refuse, Liu Yunzhao knew that no one would believe her, as her mustard seed space was of a low level.

"These ants, they're dead, so what? How dare they stay with me? You're not going to agree to this, are you?"

Before Liu Yunzhao could even speak, a voice of dissatisfaction echoed in his mind.

Liu Yunzhao disliked this remnant soul to begin with, but he only endured it because he was temporarily unable to resist it and could still benefit from it.

Now that I've heard it say this, I finally have a chance to retort, and I immediately mocked it in my mind:

"Whether I am worthy or not, please be understanding, senior. Otherwise, I will be held accountable by other sects when I return, and I will completely lose the title of the Daughter of Heaven's Fortune."

The voice, having gained no advantage and even being humiliated by Liu Yunzhao, was very displeased. It snorted coldly and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft:

"The chosen one? Hmph, a good-for-nothing who can't be helped, all she has left is a title!"

A flicker of anger crossed Liu Yunzhao's face, and he couldn't help but retort:

"In that case, senior, please go and help others!"

Liu Yunzhao was furious, but the remnant soul was no longer angry.

Hearing Liu Yunzhao's words, he spoke mockingly:

"Oh? You mean you don't want to be the chosen one anymore?"

In the end, Liu Yunzhao still couldn't bring himself to say "I don't want to".

Fortunately, the souls rushing towards her gave Liu Yunzhao a way out. The team members who had been watching her and waiting for her rescue, after being silently urged, couldn't help but speak up and urge her on:

"Is Fairy Yun Zhao hesitating for so long because she is unwilling to save us?"

"Those high-level evil spirits are already upon us!"

"If Fairy Yun Zhao is unwilling, then so be it! I'd rather die here!"

As someone spoke, Liu Yunzhao, who had already been hoisted to a high place, was about to rush out with his sword drawn. Although he was disgusted, his actions were swift, and he shouted to the crowd:

"Wait! Everyone relax, don't struggle, I'll try my best to get you out of here!"

As he spoke, he quickly made hand seals, and then waved his wide right sleeve. Everyone felt a suction force coming from nowhere. Just as they were about to instinctively break free, they remembered Liu Yunzhao's words and immediately relaxed, letting themselves be sucked away by the suction force.

At the same time, a large number of wandering ghosts and evil spirits had already clung to Liu Yunzhao's clothes, and a dark and bewitching aura began to emanate.

Liu Yunzhao has a water elemental root, so he can't burn the opponent to ashes like Liu Yunqing did. After barely separating the soul with a water screen, he can only choose to temporarily avoid the attack.

After putting everyone into his mustard seed space, Liu Yunzhao's eyes changed. He took out a short-distance teleportation talisman in one hand and, before leaving, he didn't forget to deliver a heavy blow to those souls.

It's unclear whether the hatred in this strike was directed at the souls in the Soul-Stealing Valley, or at Liu Yunqing, who had slightly increased the difficulty for them.

"So what exactly did you do to them after you went back?"

Feng Piaopiao's injuries hadn't fully healed, but his hope that Liu Yunzhao would suffer misfortune made his gaze towards Liu Yunqing bright and alert.

Liu Yunqing finally stopped keeping him in suspense and smiled mysteriously:

"I didn't do much, except I placed some Red Sun Grass to dispel evil spirits deep in the Soul-Gathering Valley, and some little things to attract souls around the exit."

"The effect doesn't last long, but it's enough to take them out for a while. However, the array plate's enhancement is sufficient."

After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, he gestured on the ground to indicate the approximate location of the items. The group immediately understood, and the frustration they felt from being hit finally dissipated.

After laughing, Ruan Qing looked somewhat uneasy and cautiously said:

"But if we do this, and we're discovered later, won't our ancestors punish us?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Piaopiao's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a scathing retort:

“If others gang up on us, and you don’t say that our ancestors will punish them.”

"If it's just a small act of retaliation on our behalf, you're already worried about being punished. You just can't stand to see us happy, can you?"

"Besides, only Zhuoying and I were involved in the fight, and only Zhenru stood up for us. Even if we are punished, it won't be you. What are you afraid of?"

Upon seeing Liu Yunqing looking over, Feng Piaopiao automatically stopped talking, but still muttered "quietly":

"What kind of cultivator are you, clinging to life and afraid of death, betraying others? You show no mercy when it comes to dividing the spoils..."

"cough……"

Seeing that Feng Piaopiao was going on and on, Liu Yunqing coughed to stop her, then looked at Ruan Qing and said:

"The two sides are competitors, so casualties are normal. The ancestor doesn't have time for that."

"Besides, even without this competition to take sides, I would still kill Liu Yunzhao."

"It's the same thing I said to you earlier: if you prefer Liu Yunzhao, or if you really don't like being in our group, you can go back to Taixuan Sect. I will talk to Daoist Wenxi, and she won't punish you."

Before Liu Yunqing could finish speaking, Ruan Qing excitedly interjected:

"I'm not leaving!"

"I was genuinely just worried about everyone, I didn't mean anything else!"

"I don't like Fairy Yun Zhao either... I just feel that since we're both doing this for the sake of the Sun Realm, why do we have to fight to the death like this?"

Liu Yunqing hadn't finished speaking, but instead looked at Ruan Qing, his mind wandering to other thoughts.

When she first returned, she learned from Wuchen why the other three had argued, and then she went to find Ruan Qing to persuade her to return to Tai Xuan Sect.

Ruan Qing looked ashamed at the time, saying that she did not intervene in the fight but only tried to mediate, in order to minimize the conflict.

She didn't know why, but Liu Yunzhao's people only targeted Feng Piaopiao and Zhuo Ying, and didn't hit her.

Liu Yunqing thought to himself, Ruan Qing is not unaware of this, she just hasn't figured it out yet.

Isn't this just a little trick Liu Yunzhao deliberately used?

Looking at Ruan Qing, who was staring at her nervously after speaking, Liu Yunqing lowered her eyes. Liu Yunzhao wanted her to be a commander without troops, but she refused!

Seeing that Ruan Qing was about to cry, Liu Yunqing said solemnly:

"Alright, in front of everyone, I'll mention some of the team's strict requirements. If you can meet them, you can stay. Let's just leave it at that for today."

"If you can't, or if you make a mistake once, then you don't need to team up with me."

"I'm not saying this to Ruan Qing, but to everyone else."

Seeing that all four nodded in agreement, Liu Yunqing then spoke up and expressed her thoughts.
