Every step Ruan Ci took could cover a mile. According to Wang Panpan, this was because Ruan Ci had no cultivation base. Once she entered the Dao gate and had cultivation, the distance would be even greater. These black-robed men's cultivation should be far inferior to Wang Panpan's. They carried Ruan Ci on their shoulders like a sack and leaped forward. Ruan Ci secretly pondered that there shouldn't be many Foundation Establishment cultivators among these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her mind was clear at this time, she couldn't control her body. As soon as she had a thought, sword intent would attack her sea of consciousness, causing a burst of pain. Ruan Ci had a realization in her heart, knowing that she had to complete the visualization image and accommodate all the sword intent before she could return to normal. If her body suffered any damage or she was killed by someone during this period, she could only watch helplessly and couldn't do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to these black-robed men, Wang Panpan had already been killed by the ancestor of the Chan Guang Sect. However, Ruan Ci didn't quite believe it. In her view, Xie Yan and her servant were full of schemes and proficient in illusions. Wang Panpan also had the protection of the child coffin. The child-mother yin coffin was a treasure left over from the old universe and had been burned and refined by the Three Talents Cauldron. The mother coffin could carry Xie Yan's true spirit to travel in the void, and the child coffin should be able to protect Wang Panpan. It's just that Wang Panpan probably wasn't by her side now, having been lured away. She hoped to find her later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Ci focused on her cultivation on the black-robed man's shoulder for several hours, only feeling that her spirit couldn't bear it anymore, and then she opened her spiritual sense to observe the things around her. At this time, this group of black-robed men had already taken off their veils and changed into cultivator clothes. Each of them was graceful and didn't look evil at all. They carried her for about a thousand miles through mountains and rivers and landed on a small hill to have a meal. Several of the youngest junior brothers hunted wild beasts, all of which were muntjacs and roe deer. Everyone skinned them, chopped wood, and lit a fire to roast them. There was no immortal atmosphere at all, and they were busy, no different from the common people in Song Guo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Zhang, we are here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muntjac had already been roasted, emitting bursts of fragrance. The two junior brothers took out salt bags from their bosoms and sprinkled some spices on it from time to time, and the fragrance was even more pungent. Everyone was waving knives to slice the meat to eat. Another group of people leaped over from the mountains in the distance, calling 'Senior Brother Zhang' from afar. Ruan Ci compared them in her heart and felt that the movement techniques of these two groups were mostly very crude, not as good as the light-body technique she learned from Wang Panpan, and not as good as the movement technique she saw Liu Yin learn when he first started cultivating in Liu Yin's inner scene world. Only the leading senior brother was better, leaping up like a large bird, gliding slowly in the air, his feet not touching the ground, very elegant and good-looking, as if he could already initially control Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Wang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two senior brothers cupped their hands and greeted each other. Senior Brother Zhang asked people to make room for the new junior brothers. Everyone sat cross-legged or knelt, surrounding the campfire and laughing. Senior Brother Wang congratulated Senior Brother Zhang, \"The Chan Guang Sect has offered such an amazing reward. I don't know how many sects in the Liuzhou area are searching for this girl's whereabouts. Who would have thought that Senior Brother Zhang would find her? Our Wan Xiong Sect will definitely be able to welcome a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was very happy. Senior Brother Zhang said, \"The credit belongs to everyone. Since Junior Brother and Senior Brother Wang have formed a team to search the Wan County area, isn't it the same whoever finds her? We have also relied on Senior Brother Wang's care along the way. When we return to the sect the day after tomorrow, Senior Brother Wang will report to the Master on our behalf to receive the reward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Wang's cultivation was indeed stronger than Senior Brother Zhang's, which could also be seen from his movement technique. Hearing this, his spirit was greatly boosted, and he humbly declined for a while. It was really hard to refuse such kindness, so he said in a difficult way, \"Alright, let's talk about it when we go back. We must be more careful tonight. The Chan Guang Sect values this girl so much that many small sects are searching for her now. Don't let us fall on the way back to the sect. I have an array disk here. You set it up in the Eight Trigrams direction, so as to avoid being spied on tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? I heard that this set of array disks is Senior Brother Wang's favorite, and the number of times it can be activated is already limited.\" Senior Brother Zhang couldn't help but be moved. \"Is this girl's identity really that important?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Zhang was so sensible today, so Senior Brother Wang naturally wanted to win him over a bit. He sat down beside Ruan Ci with Senior Brother Zhang to watch over her personally, and after checking Ruan Ci's condition, he lowered his voice and said, \"I heard that this girl has excellent aptitude and is tied to a very important secret. The Chan Guang Sect also found some clues after carefully searching because a nest of spiritual beasts they raised was eaten. I heard from Senior Sister Dan of the Chan Guang Sect that the Chan Guang Sect doesn't dare to keep this girl for too long. They should be offering her for a period of time before presenting her to the Upper Sect to be accepted as a disciple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he mentioned Senior Sister Dan, his face was full of pride. Senior Brother Zhang understood and raised his hand to congratulate him, \"Senior Brother, you have made a great contribution this time. I'm afraid the marriage with Senior Sister Dan should be settled, right? I will congratulate you here first. In the future, I will definitely have to bother you for a cup of wedding wine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made Senior Brother Wang so happy that his eyebrows danced. Only then did he ask, \"Where is this Upper Sect? Could it be the Lingxiao Sect or the Panxian Sect in Song Guo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, these sects can be considered Upper Sects in front of our Wan Xiong Sect, but they are not worthy of being the Upper Sect of the Chan Guang Sect, right?\" Senior Brother Wang raised his hand and bowed to the sky. \"Only a famous and prosperous sect like the Yun Kong Sect, which has Nascent Soul cultivators emerging in large numbers and has always taken care of the Chan Guang Sect, is worthy of being called an Upper Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Zhang also sighed, \"That's right. Only a prosperous sect like the Yun Kong Sect, which has a Cave Heaven ancestor sitting in town, can command a prosperous sect like the Chan Guang Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said with full yearning, \"For a small sect like our Wan Xiong Sect, we only hope that one day the Sect Master can break through to the Nascent Soul and cultivate one or two Golden Cores, so that we can gradually compete with the Chan Guang Sect and get rid of the status of a Lower Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is not something you or I can see.\" Senior Brother Wang also felt some emotion. \"But fortunately, the reward from the Chan Guang Sect this time is extremely generous, including several external medicines that are exactly what the Sect Master needs to refine the Nascent Soul. You and I, two brothers, have made such a great contribution, and we should also be able to get a lot of rewards. I can go a step further in the Foundation Establishment realm, and you can try to forge your Dao foundation. At that time, we will find a spiritual cave, and I will protect you. I will definitely forge a 'Flawless Golden Body' for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Zhang was overjoyed and cupped his hands, \"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your support.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were talking enthusiastically and couldn't wait to set off overnight. Senior Brother Zhang looked at Ruan Ci several times and clicked his tongue, \"If it weren't for the trace of the spiritual beast's aura on her, we really couldn't be sure that this is the person the Upper Sect is looking for. It's strange to say that her aura is cut off, and even her heartbeat has almost stopped, but her body is full of vitality, and she is definitely not a dead person. It seems that her spirit is wandering outside. Such a tricky situation, I'm afraid only a Golden Core senior can handle it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Golden Core? I'm afraid she is going to be accepted as a closed-door disciple by that Cave Heaven ancestor of the Yun Kong Sect.\" Senior Brother Wang hummed with his eyes hanging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Zhang didn't believe it at all. \"Cave Heaven ancestor? Isn't it said that the ancestor has been in seclusion for ten thousand years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you have been in seclusion for ten thousand years, you can still wander outside. How can the power of the ancestor be something you can imagine?\" Senior Brother Wang's face was full of 'believe it or not'. \"Senior Sister Dan told me personally, can it be fake? If the ancestor didn't intend to accept a disciple, why would the Chan Guang Sect work so hard? If we offer this girl, we can get huge benefits from the Chan Guang Sect. If the Chan Guang Sect gives this girl to the Yun Kong Sect, the benefits will be more than double.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the unconscious Ruan Ci and suddenly sighed, saying with melancholy, \"But she cannot be compared with this girl. For her, you and I have been busy for several months, so calculating, only to get some insignificant benefits. But as soon as she opens her eyes, she can worship under the sect of the Cave Heaven ancestor. The external medicines and spiritual treasures of the world, I think, are all available for her to take. For us, the Golden Core is the greatest hope of this life, but for her, I'm afraid it's just the starting point of cultivation. How can such luck not fall on you and me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Zhang also felt sour in his heart, but he had self-knowledge and advised, \"Senior Brother, that's not how you say it. Everyone has their own fate. We are both disciples that the Chan Guang Sect looks down upon, which is why we worshiped into the Wan Xiong Sect. I think there is a difference in aptitude, so we can't blame luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Wang shook his head and said, \"I thought so at first, so I just used the conversation to open my Dharma eyes to look at her—you haven't established your foundation, so you don't have such ability. You don't know, this girl cannot sense the Dao rhyme, she is a mortal body!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mortal body!\" Senior Brother Zhang was also shocked. \"This... can this also be accepted by the Cave Heaven ancestor? But how can a mortal body cultivate the Dao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not something you or I can know. Maybe the ancestor has heaven-defying supernatural powers and can recreate spiritual roots for her.\" Senior Brother Wang said with a gloomy face, getting angrier as he spoke, and slapped the stone beside him. \"The millions of treasures that need to be consumed, even if it's just one ten-thousandth for us brothers, it's enough for us to cultivate to the Golden Core. Why do we have to worry about our livelihood all day long? The world is so unfair!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the firelight, his face seemed to be twisted by the flames, with a bit of ferocity. The look in his eyes when he looked at Ruan Ci gradually became cruel. Senior Brother Zhang saw that something was wrong and said in shock, \"Senior Brother, you—what are you doing—don't you want the reward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blocked in front of Ruan Ci, and the disciples nearby also noticed that something was wrong and gathered around. The madness on Senior Brother Wang's face became stronger. He reached out and took an iron claw from his waist and said in a low voice, \"All of you, get out of the way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Zhang pulled out his sword with a 'swish', and the other disciples also showed their weapons, shouting, \"Senior Brother, you have fallen into the devil!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take the Heart-Clearing Pill quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Senior Brother Wang listen? His eyes turned blood-red, and with a roar, his figure swelled, and he leaned down like a bear and pounced forward. The iron claw emitted white light, and with just one strike, it knocked away Senior Brother Zhang's sword and tore his belly. Senior Brother Zhang clutched his stomach and screamed, \"This is the true transmission technique, you can't beat him, run away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried his best to wave his sword to fight with Senior Brother Wang. The other disciples wanted to escape, but the array disk had already been set up. Under the cover of the maze, how could it be so easy to escape? Senior Brother Wang grinned and caught and finished them off one by one, turning the beautiful valley into a living hell with blood flowing everywhere and wailing. Senior Brother Zhang clutched his stomach and persisted for a while. Seeing Senior Brother Wang kill a whole team of people and walk over with the sharp claw, he couldn't help but sigh, \"Senior Brother, you will regret it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words fell, Senior Brother Wang's eyes gradually became clear. He looked left and right and said in disbelief, \"I, I... what have I done?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised the blood-stained bear claw in his hand and looked at it for a while, then looked at Senior Brother Zhang and asked, \"Was it really me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Zhang couldn't speak anymore, just nodded with effort. Senior Brother Wang stood there in a daze for a while and laughed miserably, \"What face do I have to see the Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Zhang shouted, \"Senior Brother, don't!\" Senior Brother Wang grabbed back, pushed the bear claw into his own stomach, and stirred it fiercely. He fell to the ground, and his intestines all flowed out. Senior Brother Zhang panted and wanted to take medicine from his waist, but his hand was raised halfway and finally slid down weakly. The two breathing sounds in the valley were intermittent, gradually weakening, and finally disappeared completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain wind blew. Except for Ruan Ci, who was lying at the highest point, the clothes of the corpses on the ground were fluttering gently. The scene was indescribably evil. Senior Brother Wang's nostrils were fluttering gently, as if they were also fanned by the wind. Looking closely, it was a small red insect the size of a grain of rice crawling out of his nostril, leaving a bloodstain. The small insect danced its antennae and drilled into the soil, leaving a small hole. After another cup of tea, a red mist spread out from the hole. Looking closely, it was all insects, gradually turning into two small children. Both of them were wearing patchwork clothes and looked the same, with red faces and white teeth, and arms like lotus roots, looking indescribably lovable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hee hee, a minor loose sect cultivator, dare to lay hands on the Sword Seed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dare to lay hands on the Sword Seed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them spoke in unison, repeating the last sentence, seemingly with a wonderful rhythm, \"The Chan Guang Sect is really overestimating their own strength. A minor prosperous sect, actually getting involved in such a thing, it made us gain a contribution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ate a contribution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Must thank the Chan Guang Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank the Chan Guang Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two children danced and carried Ruan Ci on their heads and tails, singing and laughing, \"Our Young Master has a Dao companion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master has a Dao companion again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master called us over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master called us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Xuan Po Sect has a Young Madam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has a Young Madam again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, the two turned into red mist, supported Ruan Ci, and disappeared into the maze in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Updated, sorry for the wait, this chapter sends red envelopes~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, I saw some questions, but if I specifically point out that there will be an explanation later, it feels like a spoiler, so some are not that I deliberately didn't answer, but that there will be an explanation later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This morning I ordered Shengzhou pressed noodles for takeout.
