"You, you know Sister?"
An Ge was somewhat surprised, but then, remembering their surnames, she understood. "We're good friends? You're her brother?"
Upon hearing that An Ge was her older sister's good friend, Liu Miao's attitude towards An Ge improved even more. "We're siblings. My older sister said she was going out to gain experience and we haven't been in touch for a long time. Do you know where she is now?"
"Don't worry, she's perfectly safe now and has even opened a clinic. She probably isn't contacting you because she doesn't want to be distracted by her training." Before coming here, she asked Liu Tingxue if she wanted to go back to the Xinglin Sect, but Liu Tingxue refused.
In her words, "I finally don't have to discipline those junior brothers and sisters anymore, only a fool would go back so early."
An Ge naturally dared not tell Liu Miao the truth, so she could only give a white lie.
Liu Miao was obviously unaware that their sister disliked them, and her face relaxed. "That's true. My sister is the one who misses me the most. If it weren't for the special circumstances, she would definitely contact me."
Young man, you're really mistaken.
Just then, An Ge suddenly sensed something was wrong. "Don't you guys feel that the temperature here is a bit damp?"
With An Ge's reminder, everyone realized that something was wrong.
"Look, the leaves of these trees have become so lush."
An Ge looked around and suddenly noticed that the trees, which had been somewhat bare, had become lush and leafy.
"This is bad, these trees are not growing properly!" An Ge's eyes were grave.
"Ah!" With a cry of surprise, everyone saw a disciple of the Hehuan Sect being bitten on the arm by a huge flower. If he hadn't reacted in time, he probably would have lost his arm.
An Ge's eyes widened. A man-eating flower!
Xie Ying warned everyone, "Be careful, these plants are hostile and could attack at any time."
Protected by Xie Ying, An Ge carefully sensed the plants and found no hostility. Just as she was about to ask, she saw that the plants seemed to have consumed top-quality growth fluid, growing even larger in just a few seconds.
Suddenly, a giant tree swung its branches at the group. As the tree swung, the other plants seemed to receive a command and launched continuous attacks.
"How can these plants grow so fast? Cut off a branch and it grows back the next second. They're impossible to kill!" the Sword Sect disciple said, sweating profusely.
"Plants are afraid of fire, so use fire to attack them!" someone reminded.
"No spiritual power, how can we attack?"
Someone took out a fire talisman from the spatial dimension, attempting to repel the plants. At first, the plants were somewhat afraid, and some were even set ablaze.
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the withered plants sprouted new buds in no time and soon became lush again.
They were almost implicated because of the fire.
They primarily cultivate their spirit, with physical cultivation as a secondary focus, and some haven't even cultivated it at all. Apart from the Taixu Sword Sect and sects that mainly focus on physical cultivation, the other sects are struggling to cope.
Just then, someone noticed the peaceful scene at the Tianyan Sect and couldn't help but ask, "Do any of you fellow Daoists of the Tianyan Sect have any secrets?"
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the disciples of the Tianyan Sect were not attacked by the plants at all; in fact, some branches that wanted to attack them even bypassed them.
At this moment, the disciples of Tianyan Sect were also somewhat bewildered. They originally thought there would be a fierce battle, but they did not expect that these plants seemed to be sentient and completely ignored them.
Xie Ying said, completely bewildered, "To be honest, we don't know what's going on either."
Someone ran to the Tianyan Sect's group for help and discovered that once they entered this area, the demonic plants would stop attacking. They immediately shouted, "Everyone, come here quickly! It's safer as long as we're close to the Tianyan Sect!"
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to the vicinity of the Tianyan Sect and found that it was indeed true; the closer one was to the Tianyan Sect, the safer one was.
Due to the large number of people, some peripheral disciples inevitably suffer some attacks.
Therefore, everyone kept pushing towards the Tianyan Sect. If it weren't for the Tianyan Sect's strength, they would even want to join their ranks.
Some sects suffered injuries from the plant attacks and, disregarding the strength of the Tianyan Sect, some were furious, saying, "Since you had the ability to avoid the attack, why didn't you say so earlier? Doesn't the Tianyan Sect pride itself on being the number one sect? How could you survive alone?"
Although the other sects didn't speak, their expressions showed a degree of agreement.
The disciples of the Heavenly Evolution Sect were almost laughing in anger. "I already said we didn't know about this situation. Besides, we didn't say we were going to form an alliance before we entered the secret realm, did we?"
“But you are the number one sect!” someone retorted.
An Ge couldn't stand it anymore. "I've learned something new. I saved someone and I'm still resented. Do you think everyone is your parent? You're so spoiled! Helping you is a favor, not helping you is my right. What do you think you are?"
"If you're not satisfied, then leave! What? You think we, the number one sect, should help you for free? We were originally going to do so, but with your attitude, I've suddenly changed my mind. If you want to save your life, give us spirit stones! Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine too, just call us 'father' and 'mother'!"
Everyone looked at An Ge with some surprise. They originally thought that although this genius had high cultivation, she was still young and therefore lacked some respect for her. Unexpectedly, the seemingly gentle and obedient girl started talking non-stop, leaving everyone stunned.
"You!" Someone realized that An Ge was cursing them and pointed at her with a trembling finger in anger.
"What do you mean, 'you'? If you want to live, pay up, one thousand spirit stones per person."
Xie Ying and the others stared at An Ge in disbelief, as if they were meeting her for the first time. They had originally intended to offer some words of advice, but seeing everyone's expressions, as if their Tianyan Sect owed someone something, their anger flared up as well.
"Junior Sister An is right, pay up quickly!"
"Ha, a thousand? Why don't you just rob us? We haven't taken over your land anyway, so what if we don't give it to you?"
The others clearly shared the same idea, but did not take any action.
Not everyone was ungrateful, but no one noticed that the Heavenly Evolution Sect had any protective shields or magical artifacts. Since they didn't enter their protective shields, they naturally didn't need to give spirit stones.
Maybe it's just that this position is special.
An Ge sneered, narrowing the range of her divine sense. The next second, the tree trunks that had been waiting outside lashed out like madmen. Apart from the Tianyan Sect, nowhere else was spared.
Now they dared not harbor any illusions; it turned out that the demonic plants' refusal to attack was indeed related to the Tianyan Sect.
"We're willing to pay with spirit stones!" the crowd pleaded.
As soon as the words were spoken, the demonic plants shrank back.
Xie Ying and the others looked around in surprise, still not knowing what had happened.
Seeing An Ge walk out of the sect's territory, Xie Ying was so frightened that she quickly called out to her.
"It's alright, Senior Sister Xie. I'll go collect the money and be right back!"
Everyone watched An Ge leave nervously, noticing that the demonic plants remained motionless. A thought crossed their minds: Could it be that the demonic plants' lack of attack was related to this young genius from the Tianyan Sect?
