Chapter 24: Baihua Sect: Hua Bairui

"As long as we can obtain the Secret Realm, why care who the other party is?" Jiang Xun looked at Lu Yingying in surprise upon hearing this.

This young lady hadn't said much along the way and seemed like the cute and likable type; how did she become a different person the moment she saw the Tianwu Sect?

"Do you have a grudge against the Tianwu Sect?"

Jiang Xun couldn't help but ask.

"Senior, you may not know... the Junior Sister's own sister died at the hands of the Tianwu Sect."

Lin Feng said with some helplessness.

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Xun understood.

"Hmph, don't even look at your own worth; why would I need to join forces with the likes of you?"

Tu Wan sneered upon seeing this.

"Since it wasn't to join forces, why didn't you make a move when you came up just now? And why did you take the initiative to speak to us?"

Jiang Xun then looked at Tu Wan and asked.

"Why should I explain to you?"

Tu Wan rolled her eyes at Jiang Xun, unwilling to say more to him.

In truth, she had intended to join forces just now, which was why she had called out to them.

She hadn't expected this little girl from the Spirit Sound Sect to be so impolite, calling her a demonic woman the moment she came up, and even acting as if she wanted to devour her.

Seeing that the Tianwu Sect and the Spirit Sound Sect were like fire and water and looked ready to fight at any moment, Jiang Xun also knew there was absolutely no possibility of them joining forces.

"Not playing anymore, leaving."

Tu Wan stood up, took her short blade, and said.

The man in the black robe nodded, and then the three of them disappeared before Jiang Xun and the others.

"Those two masked people were both at Nascent Soul Great Perfection; it was terrifying." After the three left, Liu Ruoyun let out a sigh of relief and said.

Gu Qing had also been secretly on guard just now, quietly moving in front of Jiang Xun, ready to act at any time.

"Master, please don't risk yourself to block blades next time; it's too dangerous." Gu Qing looked at Jiang Xun and said.

"Hahaha, they are merely Nascent Soul; they cannot do anything to your master."

Jiang Xun laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Hearing these words, Liu Ruoyun and Gu Qing were also very surprised.

Master is actually not even afraid of Nascent Soul Great Perfection?

What kind of situation is this?

"Junior Sister Long! Are you alright!"

Below, after slaying the Demonic Beast in front of him, a man in white robes landed in front of Long Qingxin and said with concern, looking at Long Qingxin who was covered in sweat.

Looking at the attire, they were from the same sect.

They should be from Shushan.

Shushan disciples specialized in slaying demons and eliminating devils, so they were relatively clearer about the weaknesses of these Demonic Beasts.

"It's fine, just a bit of unstable Qi."

Long Qingxin shook her head and smiled.

Just at this moment, a black panther pounced toward the backs of the two.

Just as the two were preparing to strike, a long sword wreathed in flames flew over and blocked the Demonic Beast.

"Be careful, fellow Daoists."

The person blocking in front of them—Jiang Xun was familiar with this attire; it was the same as Qin Miaoyin's. It seemed he was a disciple of the Baiyun Sect.

Judging from the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Late Stage, it was that person called Zhuo Yang.

"Many thanks!"

The two hurriedly nodded in thanks, then separated again to continue slaying Demonic Beasts.

"Ah! No, don't, don't!"

A female cultivator dressed in a pink dress was knocked to the ground by a brown bear in front of her, screaming in despair as she watched the bear paw get closer and closer to her.

But no one could spare the effort to save her.

The bear paw fell, and the woman was smashed to pieces.

Even the Nascent Soul that had escaped from her body was swallowed by a flying Demonic Beast.

"That must be a disciple of the Baihua Sect; how pitiful."

Seeing this, Liu Ruoyun curled her cherry lips and covered her mouth, laughing.

Seeing Liu Ruoyun laughing, Lin Feng and the others were also confused, looking at Liu Ruoyun in doubt.

Realizing she had revealed her true nature, Liu Ruoyun also hurriedly put away her smile: "Did I have a stroke? Why did my face twitch?"

Hearing Liu Ruoyun's clumsy excuse, Jiang Xun and Gu Qing both nearly couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Look, it's the Tianwu Sect!"

Jiang Che pointed into the distance and shouted.

Everyone looked over in that direction.

The sect disciples held back the Demonic Beasts, and those three from the Tianwu Sect decided to take a step ahead, arriving directly in front of the majestic ancient building behind them.

That was the Xuwang Hall.

The three pushed the door open and walked straight in.

"Someone has entered the Xuwang Hall!"

A disciple dealing with the Demonic Beasts happened to have a view of that side and hurriedly shouted.

Hearing this, the crowd also grew anxious, and someone shouted.

"Quickly kill these Demonic Beasts! Everyone, stop holding back your trump cards!"

"That's right! Otherwise, the Secret Realm will be lost to us!"

"..." A woman from the Baihua Sect frowned upon hearing this.

She thought to herself that she was likely the only one who could control all the Demonic Beasts in one go right now.

But this move could not be brought out easily!

Looking at the more than twenty Demonic Beasts remaining, the woman clenched her delicate fists and made up her mind.

She then flew to the center of the plaza, thrust her long sword fiercely into the ground, and began chanting incantations.

A moment later, she gripped the hilt, and countless vines emerged from her hands, traveling along the long blade onto the plaza.

These vines grew thicker and thicker, then spread in all directions, wrapping around the entire plaza before heading toward the Demonic Beasts.

A moment later, all the Demonic Beasts were trapped within the vines, unable to move.

"Kill them quickly! I cannot hold this for long!"

The woman then shouted loudly.

The sect disciples finally snapped out of it and began to display their various abilities, striving to kill the Demonic Beasts in one blow.

"Does this count as a Barrier?" Gu Qing looked at the scene below and asked Jiang Xun.

"It should be a secret technique of the Baihua Sect; it consumes a great deal of Spirit Power and can control these vines according to the caster's will for a short time. However, having used this move, and with one disciple of the Baihua Sect already dead, they will likely miss out on the Secret Realm."

Jiang Xun nodded, looking at the woman.

【Ding, SS-rank Daughter of Luck detected: Hua Bairui.】

【Return multiplier: 10】

【Favorability: 0】

"Even higher rank than Long Qingxin?" Jiang Xun smiled at the sight.

He had thought there would be Daughters of Luck here, but he hadn't expected there to be so many.

Children of Luck and Daughters of Luck are not exactly common cabbages, let alone Daughters of Luck above S-rank.

Jiang Xun had truly come to the right place.

Everyone who could come here was a sect prodigy.

Being young and able to become a sect prodigy meant their luck was certainly stronger than average.

After all the Demonic Beasts were slaughtered, Hua Bairui was exhausted; she knelt on one knee, gripping her sword, as the vines gradually retracted and vanished.

Another woman from the Baihua Sect flew over hurriedly and landed beside Hua Bairui: "Senior Sister, if you do this, the Secret Realm..."

"Consider it revenge for Xiaolei," Hua Bairui said with a bitter smile.

"Many thanks to the Fairy for your help!" At this moment, Zhuo Yang came before the two and bowed in gratitude.

"Many thanks to the Fairy for your help!" With Zhuo Yang taking the lead, the remaining dozen or so sect disciples followed suit, cupping their hands in salute.

"I am afraid I lack the strength to continue exploring this Secret Realm. If you are all truly grateful to me, could you bring my Junior Sister into Xuwang Hall? Even if you only take the things you find useless, we will at least have something to show for it when we return."

Hua Bairui stood up with the support of her Junior Sister and said to the crowd.

"My Baiyun Sect is willing to do the Fairy this favor," Zhuo Yang said without hesitation upon hearing this.
