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

Chapter 241 Hand over the goods and you won't be killed
Before the talisman even reached Jiang Chenying, it exploded into a cluster of fireworks.

Jiang Chenying didn't even flinch, just stared at her coldly, as if wanting to see what other tricks Shen Youqing could pull.

“Let’s go find some rare and precious treasures first.” Shen Youqing picked up the camellia flower and then took out the ghost baby from the cloth bag and put it on his shoulder.

Jiang Chenying caught up with Shen Youqing and said in a cold voice, "Let's fatten them up a bit before we borrow them?"

"..." Shen Youqing glared at him, her tone laced with threat, "Aren't you supposed to be taciturn? Why are you talking so much?"

To prevent Shen Youqing from becoming enraged and attacking his teammates, Jiang Chenying kept quiet.

Outside the water mirror.

Many cultivators failed to enter the secret realm, so the square was not deserted.

"Why do I feel like Jiang Chenying from your Qingyu Sect is going to be corrupted?" Hua Yuan looked at the two people walking together in the water mirror. "But they look really good together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman."

Zhang Youli ignored the second half of the sentence and coldly said, "Sect Leader Hua might as well think about who is to blame for this."

“This is definitely not a problem with our Xiaoyouqing,” Huayuan said without hesitation.

Zhang Youli didn't want to talk to Hua Yuan.

Wang Yebing glanced at Gu Xingluan and Lin Jinyao, who had illegally formed a team, and silently turned his head to look at Hua Yuan.

"What are you looking at?" Hua Yuan glanced sideways, her charming voice ringing out, "This isn't the first time something like this has happened, haven't you all tacitly accepted this behavior?"

Wang Yebing withdrew his gaze and looked at the two girls chatting and laughing. He said with some relief, "They've been in the Qingyu Sect for more than two years, and their relationship has become quite close."

Zhang Youli admitted, "Their relationship has indeed improved a lot, which is a good thing."

The direct descendants of each clan are all future pillars of society, and it's a good thing that they have a good relationship.

"Next time, why not let them come to the Azure Dragon Sword Sect for a short stay and study?" Liu Xingchui suggested.

Hua Yuan immediately sat up straight. "Why don't you come to my Hehuan Sect?"

"Learn dual cultivation?" Kong Yan said somewhat speechlessly, "Why not come to my Lingxiao Sect? My sect is good in every way, and it's not as poor as the Canglong Sword Sect."

Liu Xingchui: ...

Why are they resorting to personal attacks?

Between the Joyful Union Sect and the Azure Dragon Sword Sect, Zhang Youli gave his choice: "I think the Soaring Cloud Sect is good."

It doesn't matter where you cultivate; it's good to visit other sects.

"Lingxiao Sect, I suppose," Wang Yebing also gave his opinion.

Liu Xingchui answered without hesitation, "Lingxiao Sect."

Once again rejected, Huayuan was frustrated and didn't understand.

Within the secret realm.

Led by the camellia tree, Shen Youqing and Jiang Chenying have already found quite a few spiritual plants.

They didn't encounter any other contestants throughout the day.

After nightfall, the two found a dry and flat place to rest.

After Jiang Chenying lit the fire, Shen Youqing took out a few raw sweet potatoes from his storage ring and threw them into the fire.

The ghost baby lay on Shen Youqing's lap, dozing with its eyes half-closed, while a camellia tree stood to one side, helping them observe their surroundings.

After organizing today's achievements, Jiang Chenying handed half of them to Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing took it and then stared intently at the sweet potatoes in the fire.

After relaxing for a while, she belatedly realized that there was a recording stone in the secret realm, which would transmit their every move inside the secret realm to the water mirror outside.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate for us?" Shen Youqing looked up at Jiang Chenying, who was sitting upright to the side.

Jiang Chenying looked over, not understanding Shen Youqing's meaning for a moment, "What?"

"So relaxed?" Shen Youqing said, pointing to the campfire.

Jiang Chenying withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes to rest. "You may not know how dangerous the secret realm provided by the Hehuan Sect is. It is not a wise move to act at night."

Shen Youqing tilted her head, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Jiang Chenying did not open his eyes, but he seemed to understand Shen Youqing's curiosity. "The elimination rate of the secret realm provided by the Hehuan Sect has always been high."

"I'm quite curious." After saying that, Shen Youqing made a healing array with both hands and threw it over.

The moment the healing array lit up, Jiang Chenying opened her eyes and looked over.

Seeing the questioning look in Jiang Chenying's eyes, Shen Youqing said, "My combat power as a talisman master is limited. If we encounter danger, I can only rely on you!" Jiang Chenying: ?

First of all, a talisman master's combat power is not low. Secondly, are you a legitimate talisman master?

Low combat strength?

Is he the only one we can rely on when we're in danger?

There were too many flaws, and Jiang Chenying was too lazy to complain.

Jiang Chenying's seemingly tacit attitude sparked endless discussion outside the water mirror.

"I don't know why Senior Brother Jiang would team up with this junior sister from the Hehuan Sect. Isn't he just asking for trouble by dragging them down?"

"He's a healer after all, so he's still quite useful in fights."

"Senior Brother Jiang is an alchemist himself!"

"I think Jiang Chenying has ulterior motives. Senior Sister Shen is both a talisman master and a healer. Bringing Jiang Chenying along would only be a burden!"

……

In the latter half of the night, Shen Youqing had already fallen asleep leaning against the camellia tree.

Jiang Chenying dared not do what Shen Youqing did; he sat to the side and closed his eyes to rest.

Not long after, a rustling sound began to emanate from the room.

The camellia tree stirred the moment Jiang Chenying opened her eyes.

"There's something there." Shen Youqing, who had been sleeping, stood up, holding a talisman in his hand.

Jiang Chenying stood up and drew her sword. "I'll go take a look."

Seeing Jiang Chenying's departing figure, Shen Youqing went to check on the sweet potatoes in the fire.

Jiang Chenying had placed the sweet potato near the fire at some point, so it didn't turn into sweet potato charcoal.

"Help!!!"

A panicked cry for help came, followed by several people running out of the darkness.

Shen Youqing kept adding firewood to the fire.

A short while later, several disheveled men and women came running over, drawn by the light of the fire.

Zhang Xunyu, barely able to hide her disheveled state, had just stood still when she saw Shen Youqing squatting there adding firewood.

Even though it was just a glimpse of her back, she still recognized her.

Without saying a word, Zhang Xunyu pointed her weapon at Shen Youqing.

"bump--"

The others didn't see how Shen Youqing made his move; they only saw Zhang Xunyu fly backward and crash to the ground.

Shen Youqing stood up, turned around, and looked at the group.

The talisman flew out, and the binding array instantly lit up, trapping them.

“Heavenly treasures and a token.” Shen Youqing held out his hand. “Hand over the items and I will not kill you.”

Having recovered somewhat, Zhang Xunyu chuckled twice and said, "During the Five Sects Tournament, killing any participant is strictly prohibited! Violators will be disqualified!"

Shen Youqing rubbed his wrist and walked gracefully toward Zhang Xunyu. "I'd even dare to cause a riot at the Sword Tomb. Killing someone is nothing. If you don't want to participate, you don't have to. It's worth it to exchange this for your dog's life."

Upon seeing this, Shen Lin, who was outside the secret realm, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't that he was afraid, it was that this rebellious son was really capable of doing it!

The graceful Shen Youqing appeared to Zhang Xunyu like a vengeful ghost, and faced with death, she handed over the items without hesitation.

Shen Youqing took a step, and the token on the ground was crushed.

Zhang Xunyu was then teleported out of the secret realm.

The other disciples readily agreed to hand over their items.

After Shen Youqing put away the binding array, the disciples quickly handed over their tokens and rare treasures.

Shen Youqing crushed the tokens on the ground one by one.

Shen Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Thank goodness, this rebellious son was probably just threatening her on purpose. No, I must give her a good talking-to when she comes out of the secret realm!
I don't expect her to perform exceptionally well, but surely she shouldn't be disqualified from the competition just because she committed murder?
