Chapter 74

The Heavenly Star Sect's extermination calamity is related to the Primordial Origin Sect!

Now that the Heavenly Star Sect has broken away from the Primordial Origin Sect, there is a change!

Shen Qingli let out a breath, "You're pretty accurate. To be frank, I dreamed of your deaths."

"Us?" Zhan Yuefeng seized the point, "Plus the eldest senior brother and second senior sister?"

"Not just that." Shen Qingli shook her head, "The whole sect."

Zhan Yuefeng's expression changed, "The sect's extermination calamity?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I dreamed of your shattered corpses. Now it seems this calamity should be resolved."

Zhan Yuefeng understood the meaning of Shen Qingli's words; as a Heavenly Star Sect disciple, since his fate has changed, others' naturally aren't the same either.

"No, I need to calculate again." Zhan Yuefeng worried about the safety of the other sect members.

"You'd better not; you just vomited blood from divination last night." Li Yidao stopped him, his voice devoid of emotion, but his words were clearly caring.

"Vomited blood?" Liu Meng was greatly shocked; she didn't even know.

"I'm not the first time vomiting blood; it happens often."

"Alright, calculate again." Li Yidao insisted, though his face still showed no expression.

But Zhan Yuefeng knew, if he dared not obey, his second senior brother could knock him unconscious with a strike.

"Fine." Zhan Yuefeng yielded to force.

Shen Qingli then looked again at the Shen brothers, especially at Shen Qingmo, "How about Third Brother also goes through some training himself?"

Shen Qingmo fell silent; Zhan Yuefeng's words were a blow to him.

He had thought that before entering the Ten Directions Forest, breaking through to the Mysterious Sect would surely keep his sister safe.

As it turned out, maybe he wasn't needed?

"Okay."

Although feeling down, Shen Qingmo didn't say much.

In short, it's just not being strong enough that makes him a burden to his sister.

Shen Qingsi and the others also remained silent; they too felt the blow.

They had boasted before the elders, claiming they could absolutely protect their sister well.

Now they're told they're all burdens?

But the blow was only momentary; they quickly perked up, "Then let's go now."

Not being strong enough—what's the big deal? The Ten Directions Forest is the best training ground; they just need to become stronger!

"Wait, Ninth Brother." Shen Qingli called out.

Shen Qingtong, who had risen to stand, sank back down, "Reluctant to part with Ninth Brother?"

"I want to ask you, have you cultivated pupil techniques?" Shen Qingli also said, "No rush for tonight; we can split up tomorrow."

"No thanks." Shen Qingsi patted his buttocks, brushed off dust, "Can't wait."

With insufficient strength, how can he properly protect his sister?

Previously not knowing was fine, but now there's no room for laziness whatsoever.

"Withdraw, Old Ninth; you catch up later yourself."

Before the words finished, Shen Qingsi and Old Fourth Shen Qingshan had vanished.

Shen Qingli hadn't even gotten a chance to speak again when Shen Qingmo and the five others also disappeared.

Liu Meng saw they were so swift, saw no reason to delay, "Then we'll go too."

"I'm injured; can't I leave tomorrow?" Zhan Yuefeng looked pleadingly.

"No way!" Liu Meng hoisted him up and left, "I go, you heal your wounds, don't delay things. We were never as good as the Shen brothers; now they're so eager, we must work even harder!"

Along with her words disappearing, the traces of Liu Meng and her three companions vanished.

Shen Qingli: "……"

"I'm not waiting either." Shen Qingtong also rose to her feet.

Shen Qingli wanted to say, "I haven't finished asking yet!"

Shen Qingtong had already descended onto her forehead palace; a complete pupil technique clearly appeared in her mind.

She hadn't even had time to digest it when Shen Qingtong withdrew, "Farewell, see you at the peak! Take care of yourself!"

Shen Qingli hastily opened her eyes; the surroundings were already empty, she wondered, could it be they aren't afraid Zhan Yuefeng miscalculated, that she actually lacks that ability?

Little did they know, Shen Duo had actually reminded them, if Shen Qingli felt they were a burden, they shouldn't keep following, lest they delay Shen Qingli.

At first they all still didn't believe it.

Until just now, they believed it.

In the shadows, the Mysterious Envoy was at a loss, "Young Master, what should we do now?"

That demon beast, he had already arranged people to awaken it!

Calculating the time, it should arrive imminently!

"Why don't you quickly take the Young Master away?"

"Too late."

"How could that be?"

The Mysterious Envoy didn't understand; the others had just left!

"Because that demon beast has already locked onto A Li."

Pei Jianshu also hadn't expected that the demon beast, upon awakening, would lock onto Shen Qingli.

As for the others, the demon beast hardly noticed them, so they could leave.

But Shen Qingli is different; as soon as she dares to move, the demon beast locked onto her will immediately pounce and kill her.

Then, my subordinate will hurry to go find them again!" the Xuan Envoy said, already about to leave.

Pei Jianshu, however, stopped him, saying, "No need, I'll help A Li."

"You?" the Xuan Envoy stared blankly for a moment, "Are you sure?"

Pei Jianshu's gaze had already looked toward the distance, "Hmm."

"A ninth-rank demonic beast!" the Xuan Envoy didn't understand, where does their young master get such confidence?

But before he could advise further, Shen Qingli's voice already sounded in their ears, "You two, you've been following along, why not come out?"

The Xuan Envoy froze! They could even detect them?

Is this secret treasure on them made of paper?

"How did you discover it?"

Pei Jianshu stepped out openly, growing ever more curious about Shen Qingli's true strength.

Logically, she had just advanced to Xuan King in public, her realm should be fine.

Could it be that only two or three months have passed and she has advanced again?

Even so, the Xuan Sect still couldn't detect them. Shen Qingmo didn't detect them either, right?

"I say I'm deceiving you, do you believe me?" Shen Qingli retorted.

Pei Jianshu sat down, "Let's just not believe it then; since you can sense us, please help us with this favor."

"The favor concerning Zhao Yue?" Shen Qingli asked again.

Pei Jianshu smiled, "Do we really need to be so exact? It's fine, as long as you're comfortable."

"Speak, what favor?" Shen Qingli said, as aloof as ever.

Pei Jianshu also spoke frankly, "Nearby there is a ninth-rank beast; it has what I need on its body, please lend me your strength."

These words spoken...

The Xuan Envoy secretly gave him a thumbs-up!

But, a ninth-rank demonic beast, just the three of them, wouldn't be enough, right?

"You really don't take a loss." Shen Qingli conceded, "Ninth-rank beast, do you think we can beat it?"

"Demonic beast." Pei Jianshu added.

Shen Qingli had a forehead full of black lines; everyone knows! Demonic beasts are harder to deal with than spirit beasts! Because their combat strength is greater!

"You cultivate an orthodox method, why do you need a demonic beast?" Shen Qingli didn't understand.

Pei Jianshu gave her a deep look, "To use as a betrothal gift."

Shen Qingli raised her eyebrows, "You want to marry a disciple of the Demonic Sect?"

As she knew, Sheng Long Tian was relatively tolerant toward demonic cultivators; as long as they didn't slaughter indiscriminately, out of respect for the Demonic Sect, they wouldn't be wiped out completely.

But as for marriage alliances, none have ever occurred.

"No." Pei Jianshu also denied.

Shen Qingli understood even less; although many materials from demonic beasts can be used for forging and alchemy, still, if you're not a demonic cultivator, you have no use for them!

Demonic cultivators have no Xuan power within them, only demonic qi! Fundamentally they are completely different from cultivators, so their cultivation resources cannot be interchanged.

No!

Also not.

Demonic cultivators can use cultivators' resources, but cultivators cannot use materials tainted with demonic qi.

"Huh?"

A soft, cute voice sounded from beside the bewildered Shen Qingli's feet.

Pei Jianshu's eyelid twitched, his thin lips pressed tight, killing intent bursting from his eyes!

Shen Qingli immediately looked toward her feet...

Her calf was actually clutched by a pair of claws!
