Source of "It Turns Out I Was Really the Protagonist":
As he continued, Daoist Fengteng gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage. The disciples below the stage were utterly ashamed and filled with righteous indignation. Before Daoist Fengteng could say anything more, they shouted:
"The sect leader is absolutely right. There is no way to retreat, so let's go all out! To hell with the ancestral prophecy and the title of the number one sect on Mount Fugu! Just give the order, sect leader, and we disciples will obey without question!"
Feng Teng Daoren revealed a satisfied expression, his face beaming as he said:
"With unity of purpose, even metal can be broken. Your performance has never disappointed our sect. Currently, these two have just arrived at Sage Hill and need time to adapt and adjust, so we shouldn't disturb them. Remember the two things I just mentioned and don't spread them around. We should stay out of it for as long as possible. As long as we serve these two well, even if the Hidden Moon Sect can't rise to the top in one step as predicted, at least the Flying Flower Sect won't dare to ride roughshod over us anymore, hmph!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Feng Teng Daoist paused for a moment, then continued:
"Pass down the order to immediately begin preparations for the welcoming celebration. Make this a grand and unprecedented event, so that this newly joined disciple feels right at home and experiences our sincerity and warmth. There can be no holding back this time; everything must be the best available in the sect!"
After that, Feng Teng Daoren meticulously assigned tasks and made various arrangements. The disciples, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, began to prepare according to Feng Teng Daoren's instructions.
Seeing his disciples leave with beaming spirits, Daoist Feng Teng finally breathed a sigh of relief. All the waiting had paid off; the Hidden Moon Sect was finally about to reach its zenith, and the rest would be much simpler...
On the other side, after seeing off Feng Teng Daoren, Li Sisui finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was somewhat surprised by Feng Teng Daoren's overreaction, he had no time to think about it now. The most important thing was to check the storage rings he had brought back from Demon Mountain. With his protagonist aura, he should have gained quite a lot this time. Hehe!
He subconsciously touched the Zhishan thumb ring on his thumb and felt relieved. However, after searching his body for a long time, he was quite surprised to find that there was nothing else besides the Zhishan thumb ring. It turned out that all the storage rings that he had hung on his body and wrapped around his waist were gone.
Li Sisui looked shocked. Surely there would be a few survivors, right? It couldn't be this clean, could it? He searched again, carefully checking everything he could hang or hide before, and could only helplessly accept reality. It turned out that his trip to Demon Mountain had yielded nothing but the Mountain Ring...
Suddenly realizing something, he quickly moved closer to Leng Rushuang to see if his storage rings might have ended up on her body due to the shattering of the void and the spatial turbulence.
At this moment, Leng Rushuang's breathing was steady, her entire body shrouded in layers of red gauze. Li Sisui carefully scanned her several times, but couldn't find a single storage ring. He had previously strung them together, making them very conspicuous. Even if the storage ring on his hand might have been lost, those tied to his body shouldn't be missing. He vaguely remembered tying them in several tight knots...
Now that Leng Rushuang is unconscious, he can't take advantage of her vulnerability and make any moves. He can only rely on his observation skills. However, after several rounds of observation, apart from noticing that Leng Rushuang's figure is more curvaceous, he hasn't seen a single storage ring. He can't keep looking like this; the distractions are too strong...
Even so, Li Sisui was still unwilling to give up. With nearly a thousand storage rings, under the effect of his protagonist halo, that was an immeasurable amount of resources. For Li Sisui, who had just stepped into Saint Hill and was penniless, its importance was self-evident!
Of course, he didn't dare to hope that not a single one would be left. As long as he could keep one-fifth, it would be enough for him to soar to the sky. Who would have thought that reality would be so cruel, and he couldn't keep a single one. In his disappointment, Li Sisui used his divine sense to scan several times. This scan was significant. Although he still couldn't find even a single storage ring, he discovered some unexpected details!
The Tranquilizing Bell that the Supreme Demon Ancestor had given to Leng Rushuang had been inserted into her brow. There was a mini Tranquilizing Bell in her brow, which was identical except for its size, as if it were a replica. However, when he scanned it with his divine sense just now, he found that the previously intact mini Tranquilizing Bell had several visible cracks on it!
Connecting this to the words of the Supreme Demon Ancestor, the Tranquility Bell possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities. To render such a powerful and mysterious bell in this state, after much thought, there is no other possibility but the unpredictable and turbulent spatial forces. Considering the complete disappearance of their storage rings, they realized the danger of the previous spatial shattering. If it weren't for the protection of the Tranquility Bell and their own protagonist aura, they probably wouldn't be here alive...
Li Sisui was horrified upon reflection, breaking out in a cold sweat. He was filled with lingering fear and didn't know how much time had passed before his emotions calmed down. Although he knew he was the protagonist and couldn't possibly die, the experience of facing death head-on and brushing past it every time was truly unpleasant...
The fear of death is an instinct for any living being, and every time you have to fight that instinct, the feeling is quite unpleasant!
He would never let a choice cause him distress, given any other options available. But sometimes, whether you feel distressed or not is beyond your control...
After figuring out the matter of the storage ring, Li Sisui was somewhat disappointed, but he quickly put it out of his mind. After all, the matter had already happened, and he would not waste his energy on things that were already set in stone. After understanding these things, in addition to being even more grateful to the Supreme Demon Ancestor, he felt that the Zhishan Ring was extraordinary!
Even the Tranquilizing Bell, which the Supreme Demon Ancestor boasted about for its extremely strong defense, could not escape the spatial shattering. Including the thousands of storage rings, all of them turned to ashes and were annihilated in the spatial turbulence. Only this Mountain Ring remained intact in his hand. It seems that this intrusion into the Demon Mountain was not entirely fruitless!
Thinking of this, the disappointment on Li Sisui's face vanished. In any case, the Supreme Demon Ancestor had kept his word and safely teleported the two of them to Saint Hill. Feeling the abundant spiritual energy fluctuations around him, he felt a surge of excitement. Now, his cultivation, which had stagnated for thousands of years, should finally reach a higher level, right?
However, the scene of helping the Supreme Demon Ancestor resolve the divine tribulation at Demon Mountain left a deep impression on him. Although he had some doubts, he could not draw any conclusions before he was fully sure. However, the most urgent task was to find a foothold. The plants and fruits in the Mountain Ring could not be ignored. It was time to investigate them!
If Leng Rushuang could wake up now, it might make up for his lack of experience. However, seeing that Leng Rushuang's complexion was rosy, especially after swallowing the Tongshi Pill, her complexion was excellent, as if she were fast asleep. She didn't look like she was about to wake up at any moment. It seemed that he would have to rely on himself...
