Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 190 What is Madam doing here so late at night instead of resting?

Some of the dilapidated courtyard gates were locked with an iron chain.

Shen Youqing reached out and touched the iron chain and lock.

Made of black iron, it is very difficult to break by hand.

Having reached a conclusion, she walked to the side.

Standing in the corner, Shen Youqing looked up at the wall that was several meters high in front of her. To be on the safe side, she took a step back, then rushed over and jumped.

With her slender, long fingers gripping the roof ridge, Shen Youqing used her arm to lift herself onto the wall.

Sitting on the wall, Shen Youqing did not rush down. She looked at the situation below and hesitated.

The weeds, almost as tall as a person, have almost completely covered the yard. Who knows what surprises might be hidden in the bushes!
Moreover, the abandoned courtyard was eerily dark, and with no moon tonight, it was pitch black.

A gentle evening breeze blew by, and a rustling sound came from the grass. In the overly quiet environment, even the sound of the wild grass rubbing against each other had a slightly eerie quality.

Shen Youqing narrowed his eyes.

She could barely see anything because the cultivator had good eyesight!
Sitting atop the wall, Shen Youqing hesitated for a long while before finally asking with a hint of doubt, "Um, will I be alright if I jump down?"

The ghost baby, perched on Shen Youqing's shoulder, looked down.

This……

"Mother..." The eerie tone revealed a hint of hesitation.

Shen Youqing knew the answer. She craned her neck to observe for a while, then leaped into the air, flipped twice, and landed on the stone path in the courtyard.

The ghost baby perched steadily on Shen Youqing's shoulder, its large, dark eyes surveying its surroundings.

Shen Youqing could sense an extremely uncomfortable atmosphere permeating the area.

After a quick look around, Shen Youqing noticed that the courtyard was built in a particularly interesting way!
Simply put, it's a haunted house.

Without the ghost infant needing to speak, Shen Youqing took a step and walked towards the main house.

"Squeak-"

The old, dilapidated wooden door made a sickeningly loud noise. Shen Youqing quickly strode into the house, afraid that the rickety wooden door would suddenly fall down and hit her.

As soon as the door opened, a musty, dusty smell filled the air.

—You've been frail and sickly since childhood; you must survive by any means necessary! Survive!!!

Suddenly, a voice popped into his mind, repeating itself over and over, as if trying to cleanse Shen You's brain.

The voice was omnipresent, as if it were ringing in one's ear or in one's mind.

Shen Youqing frowned.

It's noisy!
Shen Youqing, having devised a plan, lowered her eyelids.

After a moment, the indifferent expression on her face began to look somewhat dazed and confused.

Seeing that Shen Youqing's expression gradually became dazed, the voice disappeared.

The sound disappeared, and Shen Youqing shook her dazed head. Then, she immediately performed a set of boxing techniques, the force of her punches and kicks cutting through the air with a loud thud.

The ghost baby perched on Shen Youqing's shoulder blinked, looking at its mother with a somewhat bewildered expression.

What's wrong with mother?
"Phew~ I'm still strong and healthy!" Shen Youqing exhaled, and while observing the room, she said, "Trying to shake my resolve? Keep dreaming!"

The ghost baby tilted its head and rubbed against Shen Youqing's cheek.

Shen Youqing raised his hand to touch the ghost baby, his eyes scanning the surrounding environment.

"This place is so poor, it's practically bare," Shen Youqing complained.

The main house is all walls, so empty that it's almost echoing!

The ghost baby opened its big, round eyes and looked around. "There's something there."

Shen Youqing responded and stood in the center, looking around.

After a moment, she took two steps back, squatted down, and tapped the wooden board with her fingers.

The muffled sound suddenly became hollow.

The ghost baby looked down.

With a "crack," Shen Youqing lifted the wooden plank with his bare hands. Beneath the plank was a groove, and inside the groove was a mechanism.

Shen Youqing reached out and turned the mechanism.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the floor directly in front of them, and a square black pillar slowly rose from the ground.

At the same time, several arrows flew out from the wall.

Shen Youqing dodged by flipping backward.

Several arrows pierced the wooden floorboards at the doorway. Shen Youqing stood up and strode over to stand in front of the pillar.

"lady."

The sudden sound was eerie and gloomy in the quiet courtyard.

Shen Youqing withdrew her outstretched hand and turned her head to look at the shadowy area at the doorway.

After staring intently for a while, Shen Youqing finally recognized who was at the door.

Standing at the door, Jun Su was still wearing the same bright red wedding robe he had worn during the day. In this dark and gloomy room, he looked like a vengeful ghost that had crawled out of the ground, inexplicably eerie.

"What are you doing here so late at night, Madam, instead of resting?"

Jun Su walked towards Shen Youqing step by step, and an eerie sense of oppression instantly filled the entire room.

Sensing danger, the ghost baby tensed its tiny body, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

Shen Youqing closed the ghost baby's mouth with one hand and reached for the irregular stone on the pillar with the other.

Just as she was about to grab the stone, Jun Su's large hand, like an eagle's claw, clamped down on Shen Youqing's wrist.

Shen Youqing twisted his wrist and, in the instant he broke free, quickly reached out and snatched the stone away.

His actions were swift and decisive, without any hesitation or fuss.

"boom--"

Shen Youqing was knocked back several steps by the sudden burst of dense spiritual energy.

The irregular stone was like a stone blocking a spring. When Shen Youqing took the stone away, the blocked spiritual energy burst forth like a flood.

The dense, misty spiritual energy instantly filled the entire room.

Shen Youqing suddenly discovered that the dormant spiritual energy within his body could be used.

At the same time, all the cultivators who entered the secret realm suddenly sensed spiritual energy, and then they discovered that they could use the spiritual energy within their bodies!
Shen Youqing was completely unaware of what was happening outside.

The rich spiritual energy inside the room lingered for a long time. Shen Youqing took out a luminous pearl and embedded it in the roof beam, and the soft light illuminated the empty room.

—Take his life and live on! Kill him, kill him, kill him!!!

The vanished voice returned, echoing in my mind with malice.

Overwhelmed by malice, Shen Youqing shook his head and said sharply, "I'll kill your father!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Youqing threw the ghost baby away and took out a stack of talismans drawn with cinnabar, sticking them on himself.

The annoying sound disappeared as soon as the talisman was applied to the body.

The ghost infant that had fallen to the ground looked at the dense array of talismans on Shen Youqing's body and hesitated to approach.

"I don't mean I don't want you," Shen Youqing said to the ghost infant, then turned to look at Jun Su.

Ever since she took the stone away, Jun Su has stood quietly to the side, like a wooden puppet.

"What is this?" Shen Youqing raised the stone in her hand, looking at the man with a sickly and somewhat sinister expression.

Looking at Shen Youqing's calm and composed demeanor, Jun Su felt like he was about to grind his teeth to dust.

"I don't know!" Jun Su said with some resentment.

Shen Youqing weighed the stone in his hand. "Do you know where this place is?"

The tone of the inquiry conveyed a sense of certainty.

Jun Su scoffed coldly, speaking in a somewhat forceful tone, "Go back and rest!"

Shen Youqing narrowed her eyes, sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from Jun Su, and she decisively took action.

Cultivators are tough and resilient; they're not so easy to kill!
