Gu Zhuo, who had just made a harsh statement to Sheng Ning and was trying to comfort himself, fainted on the spot when he saw her reach out to the shopkeeper for money.
He was so angry he wanted to draw his sword.
However, Gu Zhuo didn't even touch the scabbard, so Sheng Ning immediately spoke up to 'kindly' remind him.
"Fellow Daoist, please calm down. Fighting is prohibited in Starfall City."
Now Gu Zhuo had no way to vent his anger, so he could only glare at Sheng Ning with a dark face.
Sheng Ning let him glare at her however he wanted.
Since she already had the spirit stones, she wouldn't lose anything by glaring at someone.
After counting the spirit stones, Sheng Ning called to his fellow disciples to leave the restaurant together.
Seeing them swagger away, Gu Zhuo immediately wanted to rush forward and break the rules of Starfall City.
Unfortunately, as soon as he turned around, someone grabbed his sleeve and wouldn't let go.
Shi Yueyao didn't even raise her head once from beginning to end.
Even so, she could still feel the intense gazes of her senior brothers above her.
Now that Sheng Ning and the others have finally left, she can barely breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Gu Zhuo was about to follow, she immediately raised her head, staring at his pitiful face, and spoke.
“Senior Brother Gu, you are an inner disciple of the Taixu Sect, so why bother with these small sects?”
Gu Zhuo was always proud of becoming an inner disciple of the Taixu Sect.
Hearing Shi Yueyao's words, he realized they made sense and withdrew his supernatural powers.
"Let them go for now. The monster horde will start in two days. I wonder how long those few can survive without the protection of a major sect!"
-
The monster frenzy arrives precisely at the end of spring and the beginning of summer every hundred years.
At that time, many small sects or independent cultivators would attach themselves to large sects and follow behind them to help out.
If they're lucky, they can get a lot of monster cores after the monster frenzy ends.
Sheng Ning and his group of five did not attach themselves to any major sect.
After finding a place to rest and meditating for two days, Sheng Ning made a point of sensing the spiritual energy within her body before setting off.
Lu Qingan previously said that her earth and wood elemental spiritual roots were relatively weak.
During this period, she specifically captured small brown and green specks of light.
Lu Qing'an said some time ago that she had perfected all five spiritual roots. In her opinion, even a slight weakness would not qualify her as perfect.
Now she can clearly sense that the spiritual power of the five elements in her body is at the same level.
During this time, she had been looking for an opportunity to break through, but she could not find a breakthrough. So she could only focus her attention on the monster frenzy.
"When the first wave of frenzy hit, most of them were demonic beasts at the first or second level of Qi Refining, with the strongest being at the ninth level of Qi Refining."
"Junior sister, you stay by my side. If you can't win, just call me."
As a martial arts practitioner, Lu Qing'an possesses the strongest physical attributes.
In contrast, Lu Jingshen, Yu Ye, and Guan Yunchuan...
Of the three, only Guan Yunchuan could use magical weapons to fight against the monsters; the other two could only hide in the back to resupply.
Even though this wasn't Sheng Ning's first time experiencing a major event.
The sheer number of people present when we arrived at the foot of Chongwu Mountain still surprised us.
Lu Qingan and the others chose a relatively secluded corner where there weren't many people. "The Chongwu Mountain range is very long, and there are many spirit beasts and even more demon beasts inside."
“Every hundred years during the monster horde, tens of thousands of monsters rush out of Chongwu Mountain. According to records, there are fewer cultivators coming this year than in previous years.”
Lu Qing'an had just glanced around at the cultivators who had come to participate in the monster frenzy this year.
There are fewer than a thousand people.
There are three waves of monster frenzy.
These are Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core.
Most of the cultivators who came were at the Foundation Establishment stage, with about ten at the Golden Core stage, and most were disciples of major sects.
If there are only a few Golden Core stage demonic beasts, it's fine, but if there are too many...
Lu Qingan's words made Sheng Ning look up at Chongwu Mountain.
She had never participated in the monster frenzy before, and with her current strength, even a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator might not be able to defeat her.
But if it were a Golden Core cultivator, she would only be able to be beaten while her head was pinned down.
"Hmph! Scared? Do you think everyone is like your little sect?"
"If you don't have any real ability, why would you dare to come out and embarrass yourself? We're already worried about this before it even starts."
"I'm giving you a piece of advice: if you're scared, hurry back to your own sect and go get some milk. Don't wait until the monsters come and then you'll be crying and looking for your master."
It's said that protagonists all have a protagonist's halo.
For example, you might encounter a villain with a completely idiotic personality while walking down the street.
If Sheng Ning hadn't read the novel beforehand, she wouldn't have known that Shi Yueyao was the only focus of the book.
Given her low probability of encountering such dim-witted supporting characters, she should start to doubt whether she is the main character herself.
Glancing at the Taixu Sect members who arrived late, Sheng Ning immediately spotted Shi Yueyao, who was surrounded by admirers in the crowd.
The other party seemed surprised to run into them again. Her smile faded, and the Taixu Sect disciples immediately followed her gaze to Sheng Ning and the others.
If looks could kill.
Shi Yueyao's brainless fans could slice her and her fellow disciples into pieces with just a look.
As luck would have it, Gu Zhuo was leading the team again this time.
He was the one who made the sarcastic remarks just now.
Sheng Ning nudged Lu Qing'an beside her and spoke to him in a voice that everyone could hear.
"Second Senior Brother, I need to go back and pay my respects after this is over."
Lu Qing'an was frowning as he stared at Shi Yueyao in the crowd.
When he heard his junior sister say she wanted to pray, he looked puzzled and asked, "Pray for what?"
Sheng Ning said, "We should worship whatever can ward off bad luck, otherwise we'll either run into suckers or mad dogs along the way. It's just too unlucky."
Lu Qingan hadn't reacted yet.
Gu Zhuo was so angry he was jumping up and down.
