Ji Zicang and the other disciples of the Beast Taming Sect looked very grim.

It's truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road; such a vast secret realm, and they just happened to run into the Beast Taming Sect, with whom they had a grudge.

"Since we've run into you, we should naturally give you a proper welcome," Dongfang Xu sneered.

They were just looking for an opportunity to deal with the Beast Taming Sect, and they weren't about to let this opportunity that had come knocking on their door slip by.

Before Dongfang Xu could speak, Xu Han had already given the order, "Attack! They have nearly 2000 points on them!"

Xu Han waved his hand, and the members of the Beast Taming Sect summoned their contracted beasts and launched an attack on the Beast Taming Sect.

Dongfang Xu's expression darkened for a moment.

The difference in strength between the two sects was too great. Even though the Beast Taming Sect members tried their best, they couldn't resist, and the tokens shattered one by one.

Although the Kui Niu has a powerful bloodline, its cultivation level is insufficient, and it cannot completely suppress the bloodline like Zhu Miao.

Moreover, the opponent had a total of fifteen beasts.

In the end, only Ji Zicang remained from the Beast Taming Sect.

He rode on the back of the Kui Niu, which ran even more frantically in one direction.

If we find her! If we find her, they will be saved!

As Ji Zicang watched the Kui Niu continue its journey deeper into the underground region, the glimmer of hope that had just been ignited within him was extinguished once more.

My heart is dead; I'm just lying on the back of the Kui Niu, giving up.

Whatever, this ancestor was sent by his master anyway, so we can't blame him.

Having "picked up" a bunch of points for free, the five members of Ninghua Sect were about to follow the guidance of the dodder flower demon to the next place.

Suddenly, a series of chaotic footsteps were heard in the distance.

Soon, a figure riding an ox came into their view.

“Ji Zicang?” Shen Sanruo recognized the person on the ox’s back.

At the same time, the cow beneath him seemed somewhat familiar.

"Why is he here?" Su Xiyu asked, puzzled. "Is he alone?"

"It looks like someone is chasing him. Are they from the Beast Taming Sect?" Song Weiyan asked.

Immediately afterwards, the members of the Beast Taming Sect also appeared.

Ji Zicang was overjoyed to see the five people, and his hope was rekindled.

He shouted at the top of his lungs at Shen Sangruo, "Fellow Daoist Shen! My benefactor! Help me!"

The galloping Kui ox was so excited that it mooed loudly.

"People from the Ninghua Sect?" Dongfang Xu smirked, his gaze gradually turning greedy. "Do you think those five people alone can save you?"

"I really have to thank you for showing me the way. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have found them."

"It's perfect to eliminate them all at once; only then can I vent my anger!"

He suffered such humiliation during this period that even someone like Xu Han dared to step on his head.

Only by trampling Chen Sangruo and Ninghua Sect underfoot can he regain his lost face and retain his status as the young sect leader.

Shen Sanruo and her senior brothers and sisters exchanged glances, all with calm and composed expressions.

They showed no fear in the face of the fifteen men who came on strong, along with the fifteen contracted beasts.

The Beast Taming Sect had already jumped in front of them, so they naturally had no reason not to fight.

At this moment, Ji Zicang and Kui Niu had stopped beside the five people, and the two sides were in a standoff.

"Where's your contracted beast? I want to see how strong its bloodline is, and whether it can suppress fifteen contracted beasts," Dongfang Xu shouted.

Shen Sanruo raised an eyebrow; they had underestimated that black and white ball of a coin.

Even if there were hundreds of these "misfits" beasts, Zhu Miao could easily suppress them; she was confident of that.

“To deal with you, I don’t need to bring out my contracted beast,” Shen Sangruo replied calmly, toying with a pebble in her hand.

However, the little dumpling seemed to be out of place in this secret realm, and its presence was rarely felt from the moment it entered.

Therefore, she did not intend to let Zhu Miao come out.

"Ha, what arrogance! Five people and you dare to be so cocky? You'll pay the price for your arrogance soon!" Dongfang Xu gritted his teeth, his gaze seeming to tear them apart.

Ji Zicang felt that he had caused considerable trouble for Shen Sangruo and the other four.

"It's alright, we'll run into them sooner or later," she said.

Those petty people in the Beast Taming Sect already harbor resentment because of that individual competition, and they will come looking for trouble later.

Ji Zicang felt a little better, but he also began to worry about them.

The five had already taken out their respective magical artifacts, gathered their spiritual power, and were ready for battle.

"Why does it sound like a fight is about to break out here?"

Just then, a voice broke the tense atmosphere between the two sides.

Zhu Huaqiao and Chen Zhouxing came out together, followed by disciples from both sects, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.

"Oh, these are all familiar faces." Zhu Huaqiao said with a smile, first greeting Shen Sangruo, "Sangruo."

Then, turning to Dongfang Xu, he said, "That man."

This caused many people to burst out laughing.

Dongfang Xu suddenly felt a surge of anger, clenched his fists, and shouted, "My name is Dongfang Xu!"

"I don't care who you call me, it's not gentlemanly to bully the weak with numbers." Zhu Huaqiao's smile faded.

"You're talking to me about gentlemanly conduct in a team competition? What a joke." Dongfang Xu's face was cold. "I advise you to mind your own business."

"So you mean you don't object to bullying the weak with numbers? That makes things easier." Chen Zhouxing said with delight.

"Fifteen plus fifteen plus five plus one." He counted everyone present one by one, even including Ji Zicang. "There are thirty-six of us on our side. Are you sure you want to take on us?"

This clearly indicates that they are on Shen Sangruo's side.

Shen Sangruo was also somewhat surprised by this.

After all, they only had a brief encounter before the individual competition began, and their relationship wasn't particularly deep.

Dongfang Xu originally thought he could wipe out Ninghua Sect and avenge himself, but he didn't expect that people from these two sects would suddenly appear and ruin his plans.

His face looked ashen, like he had eaten excrement.

The five members of the Weapon Refining Sect, the Alchemy Sect, and the Condensation Sect were enough to turn the tables and eliminate their team.

Even though he was furious, after some consideration, he had no choice but to give up.

"Consider yourselves lucky! Let's go!" Dongfang Xu practically spat out the words through gritted teeth, not forgetting to save face.

In the instant he turned around, something shot out.

"Ouch! Hiss!" He clutched the back of his head as a pebble fell at his feet.

Dongfang Xu suddenly turned around and met Shen Sangruo's smiling face.

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

That tone was clearly intentional.

Dongfang Xu felt a surge of anger rising within him, and he took several deep breaths to suppress it.

Then he turned around and left angrily with the people of the Beast Taming Sect.

Just you wait! They think they're so great just because they outnumber each other? As if anyone can't form cliques.

They'll eliminate both the Weapon Forging Sect and the Alchemy Sect in a bit!

Shen Sanruo stared at Dongfang Xu's retreating figure with a deep gaze.
