Youyou finally stepped forward and stopped Fenze's rampage. It wasn't out of sympathy for the cultivators who were about to be thrown to their deaths, but because Fenze's indiscriminate attacks, while seemingly intentionally avoiding the main peak, had severely damaged the other floating peaks around it, and if this continued, they would all be smashed to pieces.
So Youyou had no choice but to make two more identical furry jackets for it, and even had Lin Feng's mother, Aunt Lin, personally promise that she would start sewing immediately, before she could finally persuade the rampaging little monster to calm down.
Fenze, sobbing, wrapped himself in a towel and followed closely behind Lin's mother as they left. He didn't even glance at the five cultivators who had been crushed and were barely clinging to life.
Wang Xu and the others remained unconscious for three whole days before waking up. He couldn't believe that such a newly established, weak sect, with most of its disciples only at the Qi Refining stage, would possess a spirit beast comparable to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. It was simply unbelievable. If he had known beforehand, he would never have coveted the spirit vein. He couldn't even remember how he had lost.
I... I really regret it!
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now; he felt it was a miracle he had survived. And then, the woman opposite him, who seemed like a celestial being, began to lecture him earnestly.
"So...we'll send you back so we can explain things clearly. If something can be resolved peacefully, we shouldn't easily escalate into a conflict!"
"Go...go back?" Wang Xu looked incredulous. "You're going to send me back? Am I dreaming?"
“Of course!” You You nodded. “We’re not some heinous criminals who murder for money, unlike you!”
Wang Xu froze for a moment, vaguely feeling as if he had been stabbed somewhere, but he had no choice but to reply, "Thank you... thank you for sparing my life, Heavenly Maiden."
"Don't thank me so soon!" You You said more seriously. "You can go back, but given the property damage you caused to our sect, the psychological trauma you inflicted on the disciples, as well as the lost wages, array reset fees, and floating peak repair fees, we will calculate all of these with your Heavenly Maiden."
"Ah...ah..." Wang Xu was completely bewildered, "There's...there's this too!"
"What do you think!" Youyou rolled her eyes. "You broke things, so you don't have to pay for them!"
"No, I... but..." Wang Xu replied subconsciously, "Didn't you all take my storage bag?"
"Is that called taking it away? That's called confiscating the tools of the crime!" You You slammed her hand on the table, becoming even more serious. "That's crucial evidence of your infiltration of our sect! Understand?"
"...Understand?" Is it possible to calculate it like this? So, the main reason they sent him back was to seek compensation? He, a Nascent Soul cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years, had never seen such a bizarre tactic before.
"If you think there's no problem, just sign this confession, and we'll send someone back to your sect immediately." You You pressed down on a piece of paper on the table and pushed it over.
Only then did Wang Xu notice that the paper clearly displayed the words: "Wang Xu of the Ni Guang Sect Confesses His Crimes and Accepts Execution Agreement" in large characters!
"..." What is this?
"There's a truth-telling incantation on this paper!" You You pointed to the patterns on the right side of the paper. "Don't worry, we won't embellish it; it's all the truth. It's mainly for when we meet with your sect's celestial maiden, as evidence to determine your sentence for your illegal and criminal acts." He seems honest now, but what if he becomes arrogant and denies everything when he gets back? Damaging a sect isn't just about paying compensation; there will be consequences!
“A celestial maiden?” Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, “But my sect no longer has a celestial maiden…” He immediately covered his mouth after he finished speaking, looking guilty for letting something slip.
“There is no celestial maiden!” You You was stunned for a moment, and even Ling Qi and the others beside him were shocked. He asked in a deep voice, “I remember that the celestial maiden of the Ni Guang Sect is surnamed Jiao and has existed for hundreds of years. Why do you say there is no celestial maiden?”
Wang Xu's expression changed. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, he became listless and said in a deep voice, "Our sect's master died decades ago when his lifespan was exhausted. Therefore... the disciples in the sect have all scattered. The only ones with the highest cultivation are me and another Nascent Soul elder."
Sects where celestial maidens fall typically split into various powerful families, and the Neon Light Sect is currently in the process of splitting, only maintaining the name of a sect on the surface. The reason he came here is because he coveted the powerful spiritual veins here, intending to seize them, break away from the sect, and establish his own family. The Golden Core cultivators he brought with him were all of his family's bloodline.
Youyou was stunned. Without the Heavenly Maiden, it meant that the person primarily responsible could not be found. What should be done then?
"You mean, the Neon Light Sect only has two Nascent Soul elders left?" Ling Qi's eyes lit up, something flashing in them.
"Yes!" Wang Xu replied, "The other one is even weaker than me."
“My lord…” Ling Qi turned to You You and said, “Whether or not there is a Heavenly Maiden, it does not conflict with our purpose. I am willing to go and discuss this matter with the Ni Guang Sect.”
"Ah!" What's the point of talking if we can't even find a responsible husband? But seeing his confident expression, Youyou had no choice but to nod, "...Alright!"
After urging Wang Xu to sign the document, she had Ling Qi take Lin Feng and the others to the Ni Guang Sect to cause trouble... oops! To reason with them! Just in case, she also sent the little monster over to act as their bodyguard.
This time, Fenze was very cooperative, perhaps because Lin Feng was also there. Ever since Aunt Lin sewed a few clothes for it, its favorability towards all disciples with the surname Lin had increased dramatically.
Watching Ling Qi and Lin Feng lead Wang Xu away, and glancing back at the sky to her right, where rubble was scattered everywhere, You You sighed deeply. The Five Elements Spirit Guiding Array had been repaired, but the broken floating peaks couldn't be gathered together. She had started from scratch, and Wang Xu and the others' actions had only made things worse.
