This scene went unnoticed by Sheng Ning.
Since the first stage of the sect competition was the next day, she fell asleep almost immediately after closing the door.
The next morning, Lu Qing'an and his group knocked on the door.
Waking up from the space filled with tiny lights, Sheng Ning opened the door and saw several of her senior brothers huddled together in the corridor.
She stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, noticed a broken section on the handrail, and spoke, shattering the tranquility.
"Senior brothers, what are you looking at?"
Sheng Ning originally thought they would say there was something mysterious about the damaged railing.
But Guan Yunchuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "The food in this restaurant is so-so, and even the handrails are broken."
Yu nodded in agreement, "The handrail is broken. What if someone accidentally falls down the stairs while walking by?"
"What if that person is my junior sister..."
The two brothers exchanged a glance and said, "Pay up!"
A big question mark hung on Sheng Ning's forehead.
No, can they hope for something good for her?
Wuwang Island opens once every three years, and the minimum requirement for anyone to go to the island is Foundation Establishment.
The Foundation Establishment stage already allows one to fly on a sword.
How could anyone possibly fall from here?
Besides, falling from the second floor won't kill you!
For the first time, Yu and the other person's brainwaves were in sync, and they immediately went downstairs to find the restaurant manager.
On the contrary, the brothers Su Daiyuan and Lu Qingan had their brows furrowed and looked serious.
“It’s definitely a demonic cultivator. Although the demonic energy above is faint, it’s difficult for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to detect.” Su Daiyuan didn’t expect that a demonic cultivator would appear on Wuwang Island.
Lu Qingan then turned to look at Sheng Ning, "Junior Sister, did you see anyone acting strangely last night?"
A person with a strange expression?
Sheng Ning shook her head.
"But my fellow Daoist Master did come to see me once."
If we're really talking about strange things, Shi Yueyao is indeed very strange.
As the female protagonist of this book, she actually knew about the annihilation of the Invincible Sect.
Sheng Ning had been looking for an opportunity to talk to Shi Yueyao alone, but now her senior brothers were saying that there was demonic energy on the broken handrail.
Taking a deep breath, she looked up and met the wary gazes of her three senior brothers. "She came to tell me last night..."
"What do you want to tell me?" Lu Qingan stepped forward, his eyes filled with barely concealed hostility.
Instead of cultivating righteously, Shi Yueyao turned to demonic cultivation?
With this in mind, Lu Qing'an and the other two became even more wary.
Sheng Ning repeated what Shi Yueyao had told her last night, but she couldn't show that she knew the original plot, so she could only frown and ask them, "Senior brother, what she said was false, wasn't it?"
It's true, of course.
The disciples of the Invincible Sect died so tragically in the original story that if it were drawn, the scenes would be too gruesome to bear.
After hearing what she had to say, the expressions on Lu Qing'an and the other two's faces all darkened.
The three people's eyes met, and they each read the same thought in each other's eyes.
Shi Yueyao was also reborn.
Even if she wasn't reborn, she must have learned something when she entered the path of demonic cultivation.
Su Daiyuan pursed his lips, his body temperature dropping again. "No matter what, we must be careful of Shi Yueyao."
"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze." Lu Qing'an licked his lips, a bloodthirsty killing intent flashing in his narrowed eyes.
Lu Jingshen took out several bottles of pills from his mustard seed bag and stuffed them into Sheng Ning's arms. "Junior Sister, these pills can protect your soul when you are seriously injured. Remember, do not act rashly when you encounter Shi Yueyao."
Sheng Ning took the pills and, seeing the somber expressions on her senior brothers' faces, immediately nodded obediently.
The four people went downstairs.
Yu and his companion had already obtained two high-grade spirit stones from the restaurant owner.
Seeing them come downstairs, he immediately raised his hand to beckon Sheng Ning, "Junior Sister, come quickly, your senior brother just made a little money, let me treat you to candied hawthorns."
The restaurant owner's eye twitched violently upon hearing this.
What the hell is going on?
Last night he witnessed the handrail being damaged, but when he tried to get compensation, he didn't receive a single spirit stone.
The next morning, they were extorted for two high-grade spirit stones.
Are all cultivators this shameless nowadays?
They even used his money to buy candied hawthorns!
The shopkeeper raised his hand and pinched his philtrum hard to keep himself from fainting.
When Sheng Ning and his six companions entered the venue, munching on candied hawthorns, many sect disciples had already arrived.
However, the four major sects have not yet entered the fray.
After all, they are one of the four major sects; only by having a high profile can they attract attention.
Sheng Ning and his group of six found a quiet corner to sit down. Before they even sat down, they heard people behind them talking about the Taixu Sect.
She raised an eyebrow, perked up her ears, and leaned back.
Yu Ye and Guan Yunchuan are also examples.
Even Lu Qing'an followed after seeing this.
"...The newly accepted disciple has reportedly reached the Golden Core stage at the age of 18. Qin Chuan, the top disciple of the Taixu Sect, also reached the Golden Core stage at the age of 17."
"Another Golden Core cultivator? What's the point of us small sect disciples participating then? Every year it's just 'thank you for participating,' it's so meaningless."
"Aren't there a lot of Golden Core cultivators this year? Like cabbages everywhere. During the monster frenzy, I saw a small sect where every single disciple was a Golden Core cultivator..."
"Fellow Daoists, how about you sit in my lap and listen?"
The cultivators suddenly stopped talking and looked down at Sheng Ning and his group, who were getting closer.
Because the first battle wasn't in the secret realm, but in an arena similar to the Roman Colosseum.
The stands had steps, and Sheng Ning and his six companions sat on the bottom step.
