Chapter 133: Be Careful in Everything

Ling Huya watched as she instantly vanished from the spot, her expression turning ugly.

…

Outside the secret realm.

Everyone saw this and was startled.

Because they had thought Ling Huya would definitely eliminate Yuan Yao, but unexpectedly, Yuan Yao not only wasn't eliminated, she even managed to escape from Ling Huya's grasp!

An elder of the Thunder Sect sighed, saying: "Did Yuan Yao plan from the start to lure Ling Huya away and then trap her? If that's really the case, then she's too clever."

Another elder said: "Not only is she smart, her strength is not weak either. Especially her spiritual power…"

An elder of the Heavenly Cloud Sect speculated: "How could her spiritual power be so strong? Could it be that after she became a disciple of the Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord ten years ago, she has been in seclusion diligently cultivating her spiritual power? That's why she hasn't shown herself all these years?"

"I think it's very possible! Such powerful spiritual power must have been cultivated over many years!"

"This Yuan Yao is indeed a genius too!"

"Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord, I never expected this! You are actually so versatile, not only mastering the way of the sword, but also able to impart such profound and mysterious spiritual cultivation method! Truly admirable!"

The elders spoke more and more, becoming increasingly convinced of this idea.

The Carefree Sect Master's face was strange, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly: "……" Over the past ten years, he had never seen little Yuan Yao seriously cultivate; she either slept in all day or went to various peaks to tell stories to the disciples, and even chatted idly with them.

Zong Rao lightly coughed: "……" Forget it, I don't want to ruin little Yuan Yao's reputation.

Qian Jue Shan: "……" The main reason her spiritual power is so strong is that she swallowed half of the Nightmare Beast's spiritual power.

Sitting on the high platform, Fan Quan Immortal Venerable slightly narrowed his eyes, right hand lightly stroking the small tuft of goat beard on his chin, a satisfied and relieved smile appearing on his face as he softly said: "This Yuan Yao truly possesses extraordinary talent and heavenly favor! To have honed her spiritual power to such an unfathomable level in such a short ten years is extremely rare! But……"

At this point, Fan Quan Immortal Venerable paused slightly, also gently shaking his head, showing a hint of regret, and continued: "The only shortcoming is that her cultivation still falls a bit short compared to Xiao Zhufeng and the other disciples."

"The Immortal Venerable is absolutely right; our Carefree Sect will continue to nurture her well." The Carefree Sect Master said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the Carefree Sect disciples in the audience seats.

The Carefree Sect disciples immediately understood: they must not reveal too much about the little junior sister here.

The Holy Gate Sect Master keenly noticed the oddness of the Carefree Sect and others; he held his teacup, lowered his head, and took a light sip.

Could it be that Yuan Yao hides some secret?

After he finished drinking the tea, he placed the teacup on the table and lightly tapped his fingers on the surface.

His gaze fell upon Yuan Yao inside the secret realm.

At this moment, Xu Yanzhi, sitting beside Fan Quan Immortal Venerable, also began to scrutinize Yuan Yao properly.

He faintly felt that Yuan Yao's spiritual power seemed to carry a trace of Nightmare power.

…

Inside the secret realm.

Yuan Yao used a transmission array to return beside the two Carefree Sect senior brothers and sisters.

"Junior sister!" The two had been about to crush their jade tokens, but upon seeing Yuan Yao appear, their faces turned to surprise: "How did you come back?"

Yuan Yao laughed and said: "I shook off Ling Huya."

Speaking, she quickly took out the detox pill prepared for her by the third senior brother from her storage space and divided it between the two.

"Junior sister, this……" The two's faces slightly changed.

"Hurry up and eat it."

"Thank you, junior sister." The two had tears welling up, their chests feeling warm, deeply moved.

At that moment, the three Holy Gate members not far away saw Yuan Yao return and were greatly startled.

"How could she be here……" One of them panicked and reached out to grab the other.

Suddenly, Yuan Yao looked in their direction.

The three Holy Gate members' faces changed; they instinctively sensed danger, exchanged a glance, and decisively ran.

Seeing them flee, Yuan Yao did not move to stop them, because her spiritual power was exhausted at this moment; facing the three of them, she might not be able to win.

She took out a fourth-grade Spirit Healing Pill from her storage space and consumed it.

"Senior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Xu, this place isn't safe; we need to leave quickly." Yuan Yao said to the two Carefree Sect disciples.

She feared that after Ling Huya reacted, she would return and pursue them.

Upon hearing this, Lin Brother and Xu Sister both hurriedly stood up and nodded in agreement.

"Good!"

"Let's go!" Yuan Yao led them toward the western direction.

The three traveled together, leaving this place.

Yuan Yao wanted to find a secluded spot to restore her spiritual power.

However, this valley occasionally had a few participating disciples appear.

Yuan Yao and the two senior brothers and sisters hid themselves, thus avoiding detection.

"Senior Brother Lin, Senior Sister Xu, how do you feel now?"

Senior Sister Xu softly said: "The toxin has been neutralized; we're feeling much better now."

"Junior sister, your complexion doesn't look good; were you injured while dealing with Ling Huya?" Lin Brother asked with concern; actually he also wanted to ask how the junior sister escaped from Ling Huya's grasp.

However, after thinking it over, he felt asking this question now wasn't appropriate.

Yuan Yao shook her head and said: "It's fine, just a minor injury. Besides, I still have a defensive artifact on me, so I didn't suffer any harm."

Hearing this, the two felt much more relieved.

Seeing their furrowed brows slightly relax, Yuan Yao smiled.

She didn't want them to worry.

Yuan Yao recalled something and seriously said: "Senior Sister Xu, Senior Brother Lin, I have something to attend to next; I cannot travel with you."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance.

"Alright, then you must take good care of yourself." Senior Sister Xu said.

Yuan Yao had originally wanted to take out some flags to give to the two of them, but on second thought, it was only the first day of the points competition, not the best time.

If she were to give them, she would also have to wait until the points competition was about to end.

Senior Brother Lin instructed, "Junior Sister, this place is not like the Carefree Sect; you need to be extra careful, extra careful, and absolutely must not be careless."

Yuan Yao nodded with a serious expression.

Senior Sister Xu took out three talismans from her storage space and shoved them into Yuan Yao's hand, saying, "These are talismans I refined; although they are only third-grade talismans, keep them for emergencies!"

Senior Brother Lin took out a black bead from his bosom, saying, "You should keep this as well; it's a smoke bomb, usable when you need to escape."

Yuan Yao raised her head and looked at them.

"What? Do you dislike our things?" Senior Sister Xu raised an eyebrow and teased.

Yuan Yao reached out to take it, letting out a soft hum and saying, "How could there be?"

"Even if I despise myself, I would never despise the things you give me!"

A doting smile appeared on Senior Sister Xu's face; she reached out and lightly patted the back of Yuan Yao's hand, her gaze gradually turning serious as she whispered, "Be careful in everything!"
