"Young Master, look," an old man said.
As Xu Fengzhi raised his hand, the spear stuck in the ground floated up, flew towards him, and stopped in front of him.
Everyone stared at the azure lightning on the spear. They all realized that what killed the black-winged centipede was neither the purple-clad female cultivator's strength nor the spear itself, but the divine lightning on the spear.
“This spear is a low-grade spiritual weapon, but the lightning power attached to it is terrifying. Could this be the legendary Taiqing Divine Lightning?” said an old man with white hair standing next to Xu Fengzhi.
"Taiqing Divine Thunder?" Xu Fengzhi looked at the white-haired old man.
“Yes, it is said that this lightning only exists in the upper realm. In ancient times, there were great cultivators who could use secret techniques to summon it. This divine lightning is especially effective against evil things; any evil thing that touches it will be reduced to ashes. But this secret technique for summoning lightning is said to have been lost long ago,” said the white-haired old man.
Although the white-haired old man was not the one with the highest cultivation level among them, he was the most knowledgeable.
"Who exactly is that female cultivator? She actually possesses this legendary divine lightning, and she just left this low-grade spiritual artifact here, not even wanting the Taiqing Divine Lightning attached to it, and just left like that," said another middle-aged Nascent Soul male cultivator with a goatee.
Xu Fengzhi also found it strange. After saving people, she didn't even retrieve her magic weapon and divine lightning, and just left. Who exactly is she?
“I just saw that the woman had a jade pendant around her waist. The pendant was made of fine Xuanling ancient jade and carved into the shape of a lotus flower. I remember that the children of the Lu family patriarch all had such a jade pendant. Could that person be the eighth young lady of the Lu family?” said an old man in a black robe.
"The eighth young lady of the Lu family?" Xu Fengzhi was astonished. Although he had never met this eighth young lady of the Lu family, she seemed to be only eighteen years old, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator at eighteen.
"Elder Ge, this is impossible! That Eighth Miss is only eighteen years old, while that female cultivator was already at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. An eighteen-year-old at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm... how is this possible?" the white-haired elder exclaimed.
Everyone else thought it was impossible, but Xu Fengzhi chuckled and said, "Whether it is or not, we'll know once we go to the Lu family."

After rescuing the person, A Yao continued flying towards the outside of the Demon Spirit Abyss. When she reached the outer edge, she encountered more cultivators. Most of the time, they kept to themselves, but some were too foolish to provoke her, so A Yao ruthlessly eliminated them and took their storage bags.
Suddenly, she saw a floating ship in front of her. The floating ship was adorned with the flag of the Lu family of Kunshan. It was a magnificent six-story ship, like a palace suspended in the sky, with various restrictions emitting colorful light.
The airship belonged to Lu Xuening. When A Yao saw it, she didn't hesitate and flew past it without thinking.
Every time Lu Xuening comes out, it's always a grand affair, with a bunch of guards, a bunch of maids, and oh right, her brothers personally accompanying her—either her eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, or fifth and sixth brother.
Ayao guessed correctly. This time, Lu Xuening brought four Nascent Soul stage guards, a dozen Core Formation stage guards, and her fifth brother Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunlin to the Demon Spirit Abyss.
Lu Xuening wore a pink gauze dress, with a light gauze shawl draped over her shoulders. Her long, black hair was styled into a snake-like bun, and she wore a gold lock on her chest and a jade pendant at her waist. Her sash fluttered in the wind. Her slender waist was so delicate that it seemed one could encircle it with one hand, and she looked fragile and pitiful.
Tian Gou Tuan Tuan hopped around at her feet, and Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunlin watched her play with Tuan Tuan, their eyes filled with doting affection. Then, the two of them walked towards Lu Xuening.
"Fifth brother, sixth brother, everyone says the Demon Spirit Abyss is terrifying, but I think the scenery here is quite nice, and look, there are quite a lot of people here too." Lu Xuening looked at the streaks of spiritual light darting across the sky, her charming face appearing innocent and naive.
"That's because this isn't the real Demon Spirit Abyss yet. The deeper you go into the Demon Spirit Abyss, the more terrifying it becomes. We agreed that I would only take you to the outer edge for a stroll," Lu Yunlin said.
Lu Xuening said obediently, "Xiao Ba understands, Xiao Ba won't cause you any trouble."
Lu Yunlin affectionately patted her head.
Lu Xuening picked up Tuantuan and suddenly frowned: "If only Third Brother were here too. I always feel that Third Brother doesn't like Xiao Ba as much as before. Several times I've invited him to enjoy the moon and go boating on the lake, and invited him to play at Ziji Peak, but he hasn't come."
"He didn't come out with us this time either..."
Seeing Lu Xuening's furrowed brows, Lu Yunlin and Lu Yunxing felt a chill run down their spines. They cursed their third brother inwardly for letting Xiao Ba suffer such injustice.
"Xiao Ba, you're overthinking it. Third Brother has to manage the household, so it's normal for him to be busy," Lu Yunlin said.
“Fifty years from now, when Fourth Brother becomes the housekeeper, he’ll have time to play with you,” Lu Yunxing said.
"I don't think that's the reason. It's probably because they're afraid of upsetting Seventh Sister..."
Lu Xuening's voice was very soft. Ever since the incident three years ago when her third brother withheld Lu Xueyao's allowance, he hadn't been as kind to her as before. Lu Xueyao must have spoken ill of her to him. Thinking of this, Lu Xuening disliked A-Yao even more.
Lu Xueyao, why did you come back? Wouldn't it have been better if you had just died out there? Why did you come back to take her things?
"Xiao Qi, hasn't she been in seclusion all this time?" Lu Yunxing had almost forgotten about A Yao.
"Hey, Xiao Ba, don't overthink it," Lu Yunlin said.
Just then, the sound of fighting rang out ahead. Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunlin released their divine senses and saw several Golden Core cultivators being chased by a demonic beast. This kind of thing was common here. Lu Yunlin and Lu Yunxing originally didn't want to get involved, but Lu Xuening said, "They are all cultivators. Since we've run into them, let's help them."
Since all she had to do was talk, she could gain a good reputation, so why not? She immediately summoned a Nascent Soul stage guard to go down and rescue the Golden Core stage cultivators.
"Xiao Ba, you are so kind." Lu Yunxing patted Lu Xuening's head, feeling a warmth in his heart. He vowed to protect his sister.
However, for some reason, he thought of A Yao, the thin and small A Yao.
He also has a younger sister.
He told himself that Lu Xueyao had a bad temper and a vicious heart, and wasn't worth protecting.
Lu Xuening smiled at Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunlin, her cheeks flushed, as if she had done something good and was embarrassed by the praise. Her shy appearance made Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunlin feel that she was even more lovable.
They wandered around the edge of the Demon Spirit Abyss for a few days, acquiring some rare and exotic flowers and herbs, before heading back home.

The Lu family.
A few days after Lu Xuening returned to the Lu family, Xu Fengzhi made a special trip to thank her.
At that time, Lu Xuening was playing with her spirit pet Tuantuan, with Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunlin by her side. Xu Lianxin's maid came over to invite Lu Xuening over, and after hearing what the maid said, Lu Xuening, Lu Yunxing, and Lu Yunlin were all surprised.
Lu Xuening: "The young master of the Divine Dream Sect?"
The maid nodded: "Yes, Young Master Xu of the Divine Dream Sect has come to thank Eighth Miss for saving his life."
Lu Xuening looked puzzled: "But I don't know the young master of the Divine Dream Sect."
