When Shi Yueyao was driven out of the dilapidated temple in a daze, the shock on her little face was beyond words.
This was the first time she had faced the harsh words of several senior brothers.
For a fleeting moment, she really wanted to scream and yell at them.
The Invincible Sect is nothing but a fart compared to the Taixu Sect.
Qin could crush a mere few Golden Core cultivators with a flick of his finger.
She chose the Invincible Sect from among a group of minor sects, and they promised her parents that they would take good care of her.
What is their attitude now?
Just because they got a new junior sister?
Thinking of Sheng Ning's face in the dilapidated temple, Shi Yueyao gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear her apart and devour her to relieve her hatred.
Sheng Ning, still inside the dilapidated temple, sneezed violently.
She glanced at the now empty outside, then turned back to see that her senior brothers still had dark expressions, clearly not yet recovered from Shi Yueyao's provocation.
With a slight upturn of her lips, she said, "Looks like I'll have to take turns keeping watch with both eyes tonight while I rest."
Lu Qingan frowned upon hearing this. "Why?"
Sheng Ning pointed to the alchemy furnace in front of Lu Jingshen, grinning from ear to ear, "We took so many cores from the Taixu Sect, and we even bullied Senior Sister."
“If they don’t retaliate against us, they’re not disciples of the Taixu Sect.”
Unlike the Invincible Sect, which has few members and few affairs, and where everyone has few secrets.
The Taixu Sect has a large and powerful force, and each member harbors a secret. You can't see into someone's heart, and those people are full of bad intentions and are quite treacherous.
Sheng Ning's words surprised Lu Qing'an and the others.
Because they were all at the Golden Core stage and were all geniuses, they could roam freely across the entire continent.
Normally, apart from a few major sects like the Taixu Sect, everyone bows and greets them.
Looking at them, Sheng Ning knew that they must have done a lot of good deeds in their daily lives, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sleep so soundly at night.
Even after following her in petty theft for so long, do they still think the world is full of love and that no one will bully them?
A soft sigh escaped her throat. Sheng Ning had read the original novel and knew that the disciples of the Invincible Sect were pure-hearted, but she hadn't expected them to be this pure.
"Didn't you understand? We bullied Senior Sister, and she will definitely stir up trouble in front of the Taixu Sect."
"Furthermore, we also stole the cores of the monsters they hunted, so they definitely won't let us go easily."
Lu Qing'an and the others understood the reasoning.
They also knew the character of the Taixu Sect.
"...But our combined cultivation levels are higher than theirs."
Guan Yunchuan ruthlessly pierced Sheng Ning's heart.
Their cultivation level is high, and anyone who gets close can sense them.
"Moreover, Fourth Senior Brother also has an acceleration talisman. Even if Qin Chuan comes, he can't outrun us," Yu Ye continued to chime in.
Lu Qingan smiled and gently stroked Sheng Ning's head, "Junior Sister, you're so thoughtful. Your senior brothers will definitely protect you."
Sheng Ning: ...Is this what it feels like to be kept, oops! Protected?
Sheng Ning, who had been independent since childhood, was excited. "I will protect my senior brothers too, with my Gatling gun!"
Sheng Ning's concerns were not unfounded.
But she still didn't understand that the major sects' concern for their reputation had reached a critical level.
Today, Gu Zhuo led a team to hunt monsters, but they didn't get a single penny and wasted all their effort.
The Taixu Sect will certainly not reveal this matter.
If other sects knew that the Taixu Sect, as the leader of the four major sects, had its core stolen by a small sect, they would surely be laughed at.
Gu Zhuo had also considered the night raid, but Qin Chuan was not here today, and there weren't many Golden Core stage disciples from their Taixu Sect, and none of them were talisman cultivators like Yu Ye.
As Yu Ye said, even if they could defeat the Invincible Sect, they would still be unable to outrun them.
Therefore, Gu Zhuo could only put this matter aside for the time being and make a decision when Qin Chuan returned tomorrow.
Today he could only swallow his anger and didn't get any rest all night.
Cultivators don't necessarily need to rest. Even so, when Sheng Ning saw Gu Zhuo at the foot of Chongwu Mountain the next morning, he could still clearly see the dark circles under Gu Zhuo's eyes.
He bared his teeth and waved to the other person, but when he saw the other person's fist tighten instantly, Sheng Ning immediately hid behind his senior brother.
Seeing this, a disciple from a minor sect who was unaware of the situation couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.
"Is that a small sect? Why are the disciples from the Taixu Sect looking at each other like that?"
"Perhaps they have made enemies. How could the Taixu Sect have grown so powerful over the years using conventional methods? This fellow Daoist must know some inside information."
"Yes, yes, yes, don't be fooled by the large number of people in big sects; there are many petty people among them. Take my cousin who joined the Dingtian Sect, for example..."
Those who cultivate themselves possess keen hearing and sharp eyesight, and a powerful spiritual consciousness.
No matter how quietly these people spoke, their negative comments about the Taixu Sect still reached Gu Zhuo's ears.
Having exhausted so much spiritual energy yesterday and not getting a good night's rest, Gu Zhuo's eyes, which were already bloodshot, were now frighteningly red.
Sheng Ning knew when to back down and stopped provoking him, quietly standing aside waiting for the appointed time.
This monster frenzy is quite interesting, actually.
It only comes once every hundred years, and each time it happens at the same time and place, with the number of visitors being roughly the same.
To say that it's not being deliberately controlled by someone or something is to fool children.
The monster frenzy has existed for a thousand years, yet no one has ever been able to crack its secrets.
Sheng Ning will not participate this time. She can't even defeat a Golden Core cultivator, and demonic beasts have no reason to fight.
I'm afraid that as soon as she steps onto the stage, she'll be torn to shreds by the monsters.
Her life as a leading lady has only just begun; how can it stop here?
So, just as the monsters were about to arrive, she personally watched her fellow disciples go up the mountain.
"If someone bullies you, fight back if you can, run away if you can't, understand?"
Before Yu Ye went up the mountain, he specially gave her a stack of speed-up talismans, fearing that she would be bullied if she was alone at the foot of the mountain.
Sheng Ning obediently accepted the speed-up talisman, thanked him, and then stuffed a bunch of bullets into Guan Yunchuan's hand.
"Don't be stingy with them, I have plenty here."
The senior brother went up the mountain, and the junior sister was worried.
This bizarre scene was observed by disciples from other sects nearby, who found it utterly strange.
Once everyone had reached the top of the mountain, Sheng Ning looked up at Gu Zhuo and the others who were also below the required level and unable to climb the mountain.
The latter's gaze never left her.
Seeing her look over, he snorted coldly, "Senior Brother Qin will be here soon. Let's see how long you can keep smug."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning patted her chest and said, "Ah, I'm so scared."
Gu Zhuo: ...Damn it! Could she have acted any more convincingly?!
Sheng Ning had other things to do and was too lazy to deal with them.
She glanced down at the speed-up talisman in her hand, silently put it into her storage pouch, then closed her eyes and silently felt the wind brushing against her cheek.
