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

Chapter 249 I think maybe no man can help.

Xiao Ke's reasoning was irresistible.

Seeing the fog growing thicker, Jiang Chenying decisively said, "Then the five of you go and investigate the situation first."

After speaking, the five disciples slowly maneuvered the boat toward the shore, but not completely.

After Chi Guyuan and Xiao Ke finished dividing the snake-eating grass, the five people who were investigating rushed off.

Shen Youqing raised his hand and formed a hand seal, and the healing array followed them as they disappeared into the mist.

"How about setting it on fire?" Jiang Zhi blurted out abruptly. Under everyone's gaze, she said, "With so many fire spirit roots, how about just setting the bamboo forest on fire?"

This... doesn't seem like it's not impossible.

"Let's see how things go first," Jiang Chenying said.

Wei Ningguang's somewhat serious voice rang out, "The fog is getting thicker and thicker. If this continues, we won't be able to see our own hands in front of our faces!"

Jiang Chenying said in a deep voice, "The yin energy is getting heavier and heavier."

Even he, with his top-grade fire spirit root, felt a chill; it goes without saying that the direct disciples of other spirit roots felt the same way.

"It's too cold," Ji Fuchuan said, rubbing his arms.

There are only four direct disciples of the Five Supreme Water Spirit Roots.

They are Liang Shimu of the Hehuan Sect, Qi Bumian of the Qingyu Sect, Ji Fuchuan of the Canglong Sword Sect, and Wen Shiyue of the Five Elements Sect.

The three men were alright, though not much better, but Wen Shiyue, a young girl, was really in a bad situation.

She curled up, feeling the yin energy from all directions desperately trying to penetrate her body.

“Wen Shiyue’s condition won’t do.” Lin Youran looked at Wen Shiyue, whose lips were a little pale, with worry in her eyes. “The purification of the Bodhi leaf won’t be very effective for her.”

Women are inherently yin, and she has an excellent water spirit root. If yin energy doesn't like her, who would it like?
Jiang Chenying frowned slightly as he looked at the dense yin energy surrounding Wen Shiyue.

Wei Ningguang turned to look at Shen Youqing, "Will the healing array work for Fourth Junior Sister?"

"It works, but I think it might not be as effective as a man."

Shen Youqing's words completely shut Wei Ningguang down.

What the hell? !

Lin Youran immediately understood what her junior sister meant. Seeing the others' misunderstanding, she said, "Find a man with a fire elemental root to hold her, she'll feel much better!"

Shen Youqing gave her third senior sister a grateful look, then said to Wei Ningguang, "That's what I mean."

Wei Ningguang was skeptical, but before she could speak, Lu Ye had already gone up and hugged his fourth senior sister.

Suddenly, a warm stove pressed against her, and Wen Shiyue couldn't help but snuggle into Lu Ye's arms.

If she hadn't retained some rationality, she probably would have already used both hands and feet to entangle herself with him.

As the temperature rose and the healing energy dissipated, Wen Shiyue's pale lips quickly regained their color.

"It really works." Wei Ningguang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at her junior brothers embracing each other, she couldn't help but say, "You two are really going a bit too far with your methods."

Lin Youran waved her hand, her tone gentle and soft, "Whether it's biased or not doesn't matter, as long as it works."

"..." Wei Ningguang was speechless.

Seeing that Liang Shimu, Qi Bumian, and Ji Fuchuan's lips were also somewhat pale, Shen Youqing said, "Why don't you three find someone with a fire elemental root to hug?"

"..." Qi Bumian cast a look at Shen Youqing that seemed to ask, "Do you think this is appropriate?"

Ji Fuchuan was so cold that he cried out, "Fellow Daoist, please save my life!"

Seeing that Ji Fuchuan was in much worse condition than them, Ye Zhenzhou took the initiative to get up and jump over, and was then hugged by Ji Fuchuan.

Fortunately, Ji Fuchuan simply hooked his arm around Ye Zhenzhou's neck properly, looking like two good buddies.

Liang Shimu wouldn't compromise himself; he simply reached out and pulled Lin Youran over.

Lin Youran, who was being used as a heater, didn't react much. After all, she had done more intimate things before.

Seeing this, Mu Feibai couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

"Jiang Zhi." Lin Youran spoke gently. Seeing Jiang Zhi looking over, she said with concern in her gentle voice, "Although you don't have a water spirit root, women are inherently yin, so you can find a man to hug."

"..." Jiang Zhi maintained a composed expression and politely declined.

Seeing her senior sister's concerned gaze, Shen Youqing decisively raised her hand to politely decline. "Let's go ashore!"

Shen Xingzhi's loud shout came from within the mist.

"I'll cover your retreat, you all go," Jiang Chenying said.

Wei Ningguang got up and was the first to go ashore, leading the way, followed by the rest of his disciples.

Shen Youqing and Jiang Chenying lagged behind. After the two of them got ashore, the group stood near the shore.

There was mist in the bamboo forest, but it wasn't as thick as the mist on the water.

However, it was already dark, and neither the bamboo forest nor the water was considered safe.

“It’s full of bamboo forests and snakes,” Shen Xingzhi said in a deep voice. “We can’t kill them all in a short time.”

Immediately afterwards, Shen Xingzhi noticed that her junior brother was holding Ye Zhenzhou from the Lingxiao Sect, and Lu Ye from the Five Elements Sect was holding Wen Shiyue.

Good heavens!
what's the situation?
What did she miss?!
Shen Youqing took out the camellia tree, shook it, and then threw it on the ground.

“No matter what, we can’t stay in the water.” Jiang Chenying looked around. “Let’s clear out a place to stay first.”

If we can't kill them all in a short time, then we'll kill them slowly!

With so many of them, I refuse to believe they can't get rid of all these snakes!

"Come with me," came Xiao Ke's clear voice.

Jiang Chenying, unsuspecting, said, "I'll cover the rear."

Shen Xingzhi lagged a few steps behind and followed Jiang Chenying to cover their retreat.

The group walked slowly into the depths of the bamboo forest. Because of the scent of snake-eating grass on their bodies, the snakes hidden in the bamboo forest did not dare to come up.

Once they reached a high and flat area, Xiao Ke began cutting bamboo.

The other sword cultivators drew their swords and went to help.

In no time, they cleared out a large area.

The cut bamboo was used as firewood. A cluster of spirit fire was thrown over, and the fire was lit, instantly dispelling much of the chill in the bamboo forest.

Lu Ye put his senior sister down.

Wen Shiyue didn't care about being shy or awkward. She thanked them and went to sit down near the fire.

After finishing his work, Xiao Ke walked to Shen Youqing's side and pulled her into his arms.

Holding Shen Youqing's icy hand, Xiao Ke tightened his arm to warm her up.

"Hiss..."

The hissing of snakes deep in the bamboo forest carried a sense of oppression.

Jiang Chenying and the others quickly drew their swords, and then a blood-soaked camellia tree ran over.

"The Snake King has arrived!" Shen Youqing pulled Xiao Ke's arm aside and relayed the message from the camellia tree: "Golden Core Perfection!"

Shen Xingzhi walked to the front with her sword in hand. "You all rest. Our five senior brothers and sisters can handle it."

Liang Shimu, Chu Jianyan, Wei Ningguang, and Jiang Chenying walked over.

Shen Youqing raised his hand and made a hand seal, activating a healing array.

The five disciples, all at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, directly advanced a minor realm under the blessing of the healing array.

With cultivation levels almost identical, five people fighting one snake is really not enough!

Jiang Zhi silently raised a barrier to prevent them from being affected.

The five, having fought with all their might, quickly finished the battle and returned.

The crowd outside the water mirror exclaimed that they hadn't had enough.

The five people in the secret realm weren't satisfied either. After a brief discussion, they turned around and went to clear out the snake swarm.

Compared to the monks watching below, the people on the high platform were seeing something much deeper.

For example, the cohesion among the five direct descendants.

Any one of these protégés could be considered a prodigy, but they were not united.

Putting aside the situation within each sect, this isn't the first time the five sects' direct disciples have formed an alliance, but this is the first time they've formed such an... unreserved alliance!
