If Shen Sangruo stayed in Qingyu Palace, she would still want to gossip with Qingluan Fairy about her and Changli Immortal Lord's future.

As a result, he was kicked out of the Wind and Moon Spirit Ruins by the Azure Phoenix Fairy.

She scrunched up her face and rubbed her bottom, but a smile played on her lips.

He glanced in the direction of Qingyu Palace before turning to leave.

Flying Cloud Sect.

"Ling Xiao, the person who possesses the Fire Scale Vine has emerged from the Wind and Moon Spirit Ruins. We can make our move now," Shen Daochen said in a deep voice to Ling Xiao Zhenren beside him, his eyes filled with impatient eagerness.

According to other information available in the cultivation world, the Wind and Moon Spirit Ruins is the domain of a reclusive powerful being, and they dare not rashly make a move against it and incur their wrath.

The only option is to wait until that person leaves the Sealed Words Ruins before forcibly summoning them to the Flying Cloud Sect.

"Hmm." Master Lingxiao responded and immediately began to activate his magic.

The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion uses the Fire Scale Vine aura that Wen Xuan and the others carried to track them. As long as the same aura appears in the cultivation world, it will automatically lock onto the location.

Based on this, Master Lingxiao accurately located the person who was gradually moving away from the Fengyue Lingxu.

He stared intently at the outstretched palm, his five fingers slowly closing, revealing his cultivation at the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which actually distorted space!

The next moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of them.

"Sang Ruo? How is it you?" Shen Daochen's voice was unusually surprised after he saw who it was.

I was about to ask if there was a mistake, but the person who cast the spell was Master Lingxiao, and his strength was absolutely unquestionable.

Then, remembering that Shen Sangri had also entered the secret realm of Crimson Peak Fire Sea where the Fire Scale Vine was discovered, Shen Daochen's doubts completely dissipated.

"You're the one who possesses the Fire Scale Vine?" Master Lingxiao squinted at her, his eyes clearly burning with anger.

It was common knowledge in the Flying Cloud Sect that Bai Mumu needed the Fire Scale Vine, and it was impossible for Chen Sangruo not to know this.

She possessed the Fire Scale Vine after emerging from the secret realm. She had many opportunities to offer it up, but she kept it a secret and refused to take it out.

Now that Bai Mumu's life is hanging by a thread, it's blatantly clear that they want to kill Bai Mumu!

They had exhausted all their resources and spent hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones to find the Fire Scale Vine, only to discover that its owner was none other than Shen Sangruo, who was right before their eyes. They immediately felt fooled.

Furthermore, there was the matter of her deliberately letting Luo Chu and Bai Mumu leave the group, and after encountering an avalanche, she only cared about escaping for her own life, causing Bai Mumu's old illness to relapse.

"You hate your junior sister that much?" Lingxiao Zhenren looked at Shen Sangruo with utter disgust.

He could not accept that among his disciples there was such a narrow-minded and malicious person.

Shen Sangruo finally realized what was going on and cursed inwardly for being a persistent ghost.

The Tianji Pavilion's information network is indeed impressive; they managed to track her down even with this kind of network.

She calmly straightened her robes before meeting Lingxiao Zhenren's gaze and slowly replied, "Yes."

Shen Sanruo had never so directly expressed her feelings for Bai Mumu, which clearly surprised Lingxiao Zhenren and Shen Daochen.

Then, disappointment and anger appeared on Shen Daochen's face, who was still observing.

"I thought I had been good enough to you. After bringing Mu'er back, I have always treated you like my own daughter. What more could you possibly want? Why can't you tolerate Mu'er and want to kill her?!"

“She wanted to kill me, and she has already taken action. Shouldn’t I hate her?” Shen Sangruo sneered.

In the past, she was most afraid of seeing Shen Daochen disappointed in her, and she tried her best to meet his strict requirements, just to get a word of praise from him.

Now she treats Shen Daochen's words as nonsense, and she will never be swayed by Shen Daochen again.

Seeing her nonchalant demeanor, Shen Daochen felt that she was mentally weak and had gone astray. All the effort he had put into her over the years had been wasted.

When exactly did the usually obedient and well-behaved Shen Sangruo gradually develop a lot of rebellious traits?

"Nonsense!" Master Lingxiao rebuked sharply, "You're the one who wants Mu Mu dead! Such a distortion of the truth is truly beyond redemption!"

In his eyes, Bai Mumu had always been a kind-hearted and weak-willed person.

Now that Shen Sanruo dares to openly express her disgust for Bai Mumu, if it weren't for his and Shen Daochen's protection, Shen Sanruo would probably have devoured her long ago.

"With such a temperament, how can you shoulder great responsibilities? I truly misjudged you, which is why I chose you as the next sect leader." Shen Daochen angrily flung his sleeve.

He was also wondering whether keeping Chen Sangruo was the right choice.

Perhaps it would be appropriate to send Chen Sang down the mountain when we bring Bai Mumu back.

"What my martial uncle and Master Lingxiao said is right. What kind of person I am has never been something I can decide. It's all based on your guesses and conjectures." Her voice was extremely cold and sarcastic.

"Insolence!" Master Lingxiao flicked his sleeve, and a burst of spiritual energy shot out.

Despite Shen Sanruo's best efforts to defend herself, she was still slammed hard against the wall.

Late stage of Golden Core? That's already comparable to the strength of Feng Heyun and Wen Xuan.

A hint of surprise appeared in Shen Daochen's eyes, but it quickly vanished.

Shen Sangruo's talent was originally quite remarkable, but unfortunately her nature was truly wicked. If the Flying Cloud Sect were handed over to her, who knows what it would become.

Lingxiao Zhenren had the same thought in his mind.

He disliked her even more than Shen Daochen, and his desire to expel Shen Sangruo from the sect was even stronger.

He cannot tolerate someone with such a bad reputation.

A cold glint flashed in Lingxiao Zhenren's eyes.

"Hand over the Fire Scale Vine, and I will spare your life, but I will punish you by sending you to the forbidden area in the back mountain for ten years."

If Shen Sangruo repeatedly failed to correct her behavior, it made him wonder if his punishment was too lenient.

The forbidden area behind the Flying Cloud Sect is a chaotic realm. Once you enter, you will be lost in it. There is no sound, no living creatures, and you can only feel your own existence. The loneliness there is enough to drive a person crazy.

"Heh." Shen Sanruo wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes defiantly raised. "Is this how True Immortal Lingxiao asks for help?"

"Ask someone for help?" Lingxiao Zhenren seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and laughed angrily. "I am your master. Do I need to ask you, my unfilial disciple, for what I want?"

"The Fire Scale Vine is something you owed to Mu Mu, yet you still have the nerve to ask me to beg you? What a blasphemous and rebellious act against the Heavenly Order!"

Lingxiao Zhenren's eyes were cold and his face was like ice. He lost patience with her and immediately used his spiritual power to go straight for her Qiankun bag.

A small storage bag is nothing in the eyes of a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

But when he tried to erase the divine imprint on the Qiankun Bag and forcibly open it, he found that the bag in his hand remained unmoved.

Shen Sangruo smiled, her blood-stained lips becoming even more alluring.

The treasure that has been with her through two lifetimes is not something that just anyone can easily open.

So what if he, Lingxiao Zhenren, is the number one cultivator in the world today?
