Upon hearing that An Ge was going to enter the secret realm, Jiang Shang stuffed a bunch of things into An Ge's spatial storage. It could be said that An Ge's space now had practically everything she could want.
An Ge didn't stand on ceremony; after all, her master wasn't an outsider. Luckily, the Qiankun Bracelet was large enough, otherwise it really wouldn't have been able to hold it all.
"I will escort you to the secret realm this time." His disciples are so conspicuous now, he wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't go and intimidate them.
An Ge instantly understood Jiang Shang's meaning, and naturally had no reason to refuse.
While there's no guarantee that others in the secret realm won't harbor ill intentions towards her, having her master there will definitely deter some people from plotting to kill and steal her treasure.
The day the secret realm opened soon arrived, and the disciples of the Tianyan Sect, led by Jiang Shang and the inner sect elders, flew to the secret realm by flying boat.
On the flying boat, Xie Ying looked at An Ge with excitement, "Junior Sister An, True Lord Lingxiao, the living True Lord Lingxiao! I never expected True Lord Lingxiao to lead the team, this is so lucky."
An Ge rolled her eyes speechlessly. So this girl was a little fangirl.
"Don't get excited, my master isn't going to run away. Why do you, a disciple of Sword Peak, admire my master so much?" If she remembered correctly, her master didn't seem to have a good impression of sword cultivators.
"I've heard that True Monarch Lingxiao possesses unparalleled swordsmanship, but he's too powerful now and rarely has the opportunity to use it. As a sword cultivator, I naturally admire the strong."
Moreover, True Monarch Lingxiao doesn't appear in the sect often. In all the years I've been here, including this time, I've only seen him twice. He truly lives up to his idol's reputation—aloof and dignified, with a cold demeanor, an air of righteousness, and formidable strength.
An Ge's lips twitched. Was she sure that everything she said, except for the last point, was from her master?
The airship traveled very quickly, and in less than half a day, it arrived at the entrance to the secret realm.
Outside the secret realm, various sects were discussing matters concerning the realm when they spotted a huge flying ship and immediately stopped their discussions.
A wandering cultivator asked curiously, "Which sect is this? It looks really grand."
"Besides the Tianyan Sect, which other sect has the capability to use a sacred artifact as a flying boat?"
Those who heard this nodded. So it was the Tianyan Sect. That made sense.
The other sects were greatly surprised when they saw who was leading the team. This time it was actually True Monarch Lingxiao leading the team, and it seemed that his strength had increased even more.
Everyone greeted Lingxiao Zhenjun with great respect.
Jiang Shang nodded aloofly. "I brought my disciple to the secret realm today, so please feel free to make yourselves at home. Little Ge'er, come here and say hello to everyone."
An Ge, under the curious gazes of the crowd, walked out from the crowd, trying to ignore the embarrassment in her heart, and walked to Jiang Shang's side.
"So this is the esteemed disciple of True Monarch Lingxiao. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!" Upon seeing An Ge's strength, everyone praised her, feeling astonished and somewhat sympathetic towards the disciples of her generation.
Sigh, it's time to let those arrogant disciples know that there are always people more capable than themselves.
They were crushed by Lingxiao Zhenjun before, and now their own disciple is being crushed by the other party's disciple. What kind of karma is this?
"My apprentice is young and inexperienced, I don't deserve such praise." Although he said this, his tone was anything but humble.
An Ge followed her master around and greeted everyone with such sweet words that she received a bunch of gifts in return.
Although there are many sects in the Tianxuan Continent, only a handful can be considered equals to the Tianyan Sect. The Tianyan Sect, Xinglin Sect, Taixu Sword Sect, Tianji Sect, and Yushou Sect are among the top-ranked sects, along with others such as the Hehuan Sect and Liyan Sect.
Everyone had assumed that this disciple, who was even more talented than her master, would be arrogant. However, seeing An Ge's generous and humble demeanor only fueled their jealousy.
Lingxiao Zhenjun is so lucky! He only has one disciple, but this disciple is exceptionally talented and well-behaved. How come he gets all the good things?
Looking at his disciple who was being fawned over, Yu Xinghe could not hide the anger in his eyes.
These are all his; An Ge stole his opportunity! He must eliminate An Ge in this secret realm!
Those nearby noticed Yu Xinghe's vicious gaze and quietly moved away from him.
I need to remind An Ge to stay away from Yu Xinghe later. Such a cute junior sister shouldn't be bullied.
Disciples from other sects had also heard of An Ge. They were amazed by her beauty, and seeing the attitude of Lingxiao Zhenjun and their own elders towards her, they were certainly envious. Their initial resentment turned into acceptance.
I heard that this genius is not even twenty years old, and in just one year she has gone from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the current Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. What are they still comparing themselves to her for?
An Ge noticed the stares from the crowd and gave them a friendly smile.
These people might be jealous, but they didn't harbor much malice. The real malice came from the Tianyan Sect team. She knew who it was without even thinking, and she secretly became more vigilant.
Seeing An Ge's smile, people from other sects had a better impression of this genius.
Such an unassuming genius is rare indeed. Even the most affable prodigies in their sect are inherently proud. Unlike this one, whose friendliness towards them is truly heartfelt.
After exchanging pleasantries with the elders, Jiang Shang led An Ge back to the group, explaining things to her as they walked.
"Even with your master here, the secret realm isn't absolutely safe. Even if you're quite strong, you still need to be careful. With the support of various magical treasures, it's not impossible to fight opponents several levels higher."
Of course, we have plenty of magical treasures. If we can't win, we'll use them to smash the enemy, then run away quickly. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback. Once we're out of the secret realm, our master will avenge you.
When dealing with enemies, strike while they're weak and kill them. Don't be soft-hearted; if necessary, use underhanded tactics. Victory is achieved through any means necessary. What is martial virtue? We at Tianwu Peak don't have that kind of thing.”
An Ge listened attentively and nodded, "Don't worry, Master. If anyone tries to harm me, I'll make sure they lose everything."
"This child is teachable."
The master and apprentice discussed their matter as if no one else was around, causing the lips of those listening to twitch.
They haven't gone far yet, is it really okay to talk about shady things so openly?
However, he also elevated An Ge's status in his heart, and when he returned, he must instruct his disciples not to have any wicked thoughts about this little ancestor.
Putting aside whether they can win, even if they can, given how much Lingxiao Zhenjun values An Ge, there's no guarantee he won't have some backup plan.
Lingxiao Zhenjun is notoriously protective of his own and unreasonable. If he hits the younger ones, the older ones will definitely follow suit, and these old bones of theirs can't withstand it.
Moreover, this young genius seems exceptionally well-behaved and is unlikely to be causing trouble. As long as the sect members are kept in check, there shouldn't be any problems.
As Xie Ying listened to Jiang Shang's words, she suddenly felt that something was about to crumble.
No wonder An Ge's expression was a little strange when she praised Lingxiao Zhenjun.
If An Ge knew Xie Ying's thoughts, she would definitely say that what was broken was probably something called a filter.
