Seeing Shen Sangruo's usual smile, Ji Zicang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he readily agreed, "I will give it to Master for you."

He thought the token might have some other meaning; surely it couldn't be that she wanted to dig up his master's secrets?

However, the truth is that his ideas were still too conservative.

Thank you.

After bidding farewell to Ji Zicang, Chen Sangruo and the other two returned to Ninghua Sect.

When the news that the old site of Ninghua Sect was well preserved was told to Immortal Lord Changli, the next day, Immortal Lord Changli performed a "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" to directly move Ninghua Sect, which was sealed inside, back to its old site.

This is the first time in many years that Wuwei Daoren, Song Weiyan, and Su Xiyu have left the seal.

When you see Ninghua Sect back at its old site, you not only notice the absence of the bustling crowds that once filled the sect, but also a sense of the vicissitudes of time.

The Taoist Master Wuwei simply sighed and said with emotion, "It's good that you can come back."

"The registration period for the sect competition is in two days, and I have already prepared the jade for registration," Chen Sangruo said.

The sect competition took place after the great upheaval in Ninghua Sect, and since no one else knew the rules, she explained them to them.

"The sect competition is divided into three parts: the elders' competition, the individual disciples' competition, and the disciples' team competition."

"A points system is used, with points awarded based on ranking, and the final ranking of each sect is based on the total points."

"For the individual disciple competition, five disciples need to be sent out, and three will be randomly selected to participate in the individual competition."

"The maximum number of people that a disciple team can send for the competition is fifteen. The content of the competition is unpredictable and will be announced during the grand competition."

"The young masters of each sect must participate in both of these battles."

In other words, she and Bai Mumu may have another chance to clash.

"There are only five of us in total. Won't we be at a disadvantage in team competitions?" Song Weiyan stroked his chin.

Anyone who isn't an idiot will inevitably send out fifteen people during team competitions, which is only one-third the number of other teams.

Moreover, three of the five will participate in both individual and team competitions consecutively, making the competition extremely intense.

“That’s not the biggest problem. The elders’ competition requires three people to participate, and the sect leader must fight.” Shen Sangruo looked at Immortal Lord Changli and Daoist Wuwei. “If there aren’t enough people, it will be considered a forfeit.”

At the same time, the elders' competition is the most difficult part of the sect competition, after all, Lingxiao Zhenren of Feiyun Sect is undoubtedly the number one person in the cultivation world today.

There is no chance of victory against the Flying Cloud Sect.

Upon hearing that the sect leader was also going to fight, Wuwei Daoist surprisingly refrained from howling and abusing the old man.

He must fight for the sake of Ninghua Sect!

"I, Immortal Lord, will handle this matter. You need not worry about the number of people," Immortal Lord Changli said calmly, a hint of disdain in his eyes, seemingly not taking True Person Lingxiao seriously.

He should also meet his little disciple's former master.

"Alright, from now on we'll focus on preparing for the sect competition." The Daoist Wuwei's voice was serious, displaying a hint of the sect leader's authority.

"Everyone in the Ninghua Sect must not let their guard down and must win every single match!"

"yes!"

——

Inside the Flying Cloud Sect.

Lu Shiqing's face was gloomy. He carried Bai Mumu back to the sect, then threw her down and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Seeing his appearance, Feng Heyun behind him cursed under his breath, "Heartless and ungrateful bastard!"

The two didn't exchange a single word the entire way, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive.

No one noticed Bai Mumu being thrown to the ground.

She rubbed her ankle, which felt like it had been broken, and struggled to get up from the ground. Her eyes were like poisoned blades, flashing with a cold, sinister light.

During this time, she tried to get Lu Shiqing to put her down, but Lu Shiqing, this madman, seemed to be fighting against something. The more she struggled, the tighter he held her.

The more Bai Mumu thought about it, the more resentful she became. Why should she be treated like this? Why should she be used as a punching bag for them to vent their anger on Chen Sangruo?

She tried her best to improve her relationship with them, but they ignored her and her relationship with them even declined.

Even though Shen Sanruo had been gone for so long, they all seemed to have suddenly realized what was happening and desperately tried to persuade her to stay.

After much thought, I finally concluded that they were just a bunch of despicable men.

Pure despicable!

But Bai Mumu was still unwilling to give up. She looked at Feng Heyun, "Senior Brother, my foot is injured, could you..."

However, Feng Heyun impatiently interrupted her, "If your foot is injured, go find Wen Xuan. I don't know how to treat illnesses."

His expression was one of disgust, filled with resentment towards Bai Mumu. "I told you long ago to plead with Sect Leader Shen and Master Shen as soon as possible, but you refused."

"You have to nitpick over such a small thing. You're petty and narrow-minded!"

"Now look what's happened! Shen Sangri has joined a new sect and doesn't want to come back. It's all your fault!" He became more and more furious as he spoke, his eyes blazing with barely suppressed anger.

"I'm only letting you get away with this because you're my junior sister. You'd better watch yourself from now on! Humph!"

He immediately went to tell Wen Xuan and Luo Chu about it. In his eyes, Bai Mumu was an unforgivable sinner.

Watching Feng Heyun's indifferent departure, Bai Mumu's fingernails dug deeply into her palm.

The constant notification sound in her mind that her favorability rating was decreasing reminded her that Feng Heyun, like Lu Shiqing, had also lost her control.

What Bai Mumu is experiencing now is exactly what Shen Sangruo once experienced.

This is already the second target she's lost control of; since she became a strategist, she hasn't had this many targets she's lost control of in all her previous missions combined.

She had never suffered such humiliation!

[Several romance options have been detected whose affection levels are nearing the point of mission failure.]

[If the favorability rating drops below 20 points, the conquest mission will fail. If more than three conquest missions fail, the host's final mission will also end prematurely.]

The host's fate at that time would be elimination.

The system's voice instantly snapped Bai Mumu back to reality; she was now not far from being wiped out.

No, her mission cannot fail! She cannot be eliminated!

She forced herself to calm down and thought of ways to make amends.

[Ding—System upgrade successful.]

[The system suspects the host is unable to complete the current task. Would the host like to change the task's direction?]

"Change the mission direction? Change it for what reason?" Bai Mumu asked hurriedly.

The system announced a brand new task, and Bai Mumu's expression hardened as she accepted it without hesitation.

[Ding—New task binding completed.]

[Note: The system upgrade functionality is not yet complete; there is still a possibility that binding new tasks may fail.]

To minimize risk, please continue with the current strategy mission.

The system's words were like feeding Bai Mumu a mouthful of shit, but she had no choice but to continue trying to win over those six people.

Once she completes her mission, she will kill them all! All of them!
