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

Chapter 259 Leaving the Secret Realm

The disciples sat in a circle around the fire, some adjusting their breathing, others watching Shen Youqing's severe interrogation.

Gu Xingluan leaned against her senior sister like a little bird.

“Demon cultivators deserve to die.” Gu Xingluan said without hesitation, and then offered Shen Youqing some strange magical artifacts for her to interrogate.

Wei Ningguang reached out and patted his third junior sister on the shoulder.

In any case, it's good that they are safe and sound.

As for demonic cultivators, there is no such thing as killing the innocent; all demonic cultivators deserve to die!
"The Five Sects Secret Realm is not so easy to enter. The fact that he was able to bring so many demonic cultivators in must mean he used a magic weapon," Jiang Chenying said in a calm voice. "That magic weapon will always be a scourge in the hands of the demon realm."

This is also why they spared Qu Lian's life.

Jing Liang spoke up, "I'm worried about Shen Youqing's reputation; she's too ruthless."

"All of this is for the sake of the cultivation world." Xie Changyan's icy voice rang out, "Anyone who objects is worthy of being condemned."

Jing Liang couldn't help but glance at his second senior brother.

Chi Guyuan and Qi Bumian shared the same attitude.

“That’s well said.” Chu Jianyan spoke slowly, watching Shen Youqing’s retreating figure. “Besides, demonic cultivators are far more ruthless than us. What’s this?”

Jing Liang stopped worrying about it.

It must be said that Shen Youqing's methods were ruthless enough, but also effective enough.

When Shen Youqing received the magic artifact from Qu Lian, everyone, whether inside or outside the secret realm, breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a spontaneous feeling of pride and reverence.

"Shen Youqing truly lives up to her reputation as a direct disciple of the Five Sects; she's absolutely amazing!! If I may be so bold as to ask, does she need a bed partner? I'd like to offer myself as a concubine!"

"Get lost! You have no shame, no figure, and if anyone's offering themselves up, it's me. I have a top-grade spiritual root, early Golden Core stage, and I'm chaste!"

"Get out, all of you!"

"A bunch of toads trying to eat swan meat, huh? Who is Fellow Daoist Shen? She's such a cold and aloof woman, get lost and don't get involved with her!"

"I have to say, she's really amazing. That Demon General Qu Lian was completely manipulated. But I still maintain that the Five Sects should investigate. It doesn't seem like an act!"

"Although I'm a woman, I have something to say: look at me, I can do dual cultivation too!"

……

The conversations in the square were chaotic.

The expressions of the venerable ones on the high platform varied.

"Hua Yuan, oh Hua Yuan," Kong Yan said through gritted teeth, "that should have been my disciple!"

She had always had a good impression of Shen Youqing, and after this experience, she even developed an appreciation for the girl.

The more you appreciate and love something, the more regretful you become.

All I can say is that Huayuan is not human!

Hua Yuan, with her alluring and affectionate eyes curved, wore a smug expression. "What a pity~ Little Youqing is now my Hehuan Sect's direct disciple~"

Zhang Youli glanced at him sideways.

Kong Yan looked at her with a stern face.

Seeing that they were alright, Shen Lin withdrew his gaze and turned slightly to Yue Hehua to ask, "Patriarch Yue, what does it take for a spiritual plant to develop sentience?"

"Patriarch Shen, my answer isn't very pleasant to hear," Yue Hehua said with a forced smile. "Let's wait until they come out before we talk about it."

Shen Lin fell silent.

Seeing his own disciple sitting there perfectly fine, Wang Yebing felt a lingering fear.

“That Qu Lian is indeed dangerous. Letting him stay in the secret realm with a demon general might cause unforeseen problems. Let’s end the secret realm sooner,” Wang Yebing suggested.

Zhang Youli nodded in agreement.

A quarter of an hour later.

Shen Youqing, who was forcibly teleported out, felt dizzy and lightheaded.

The next second, she fell into his arms.

Sensing the familiar presence, Shen Youqing relaxed.

She raised her hand and patted Shen Quelin's tense arm. "I'm fine."

What kind of danger is this?
For her, this wasn't considered dangerous!

Shen Quelin released Shen Youqing, looking at her pale face, his long, cold phoenix eyes filled with deep worry. "It hurts..." Shen Youqing skillfully covered her mouth with her hand, and then bowed to the venerable ones on the high platform.

As soon as Zhang Youli and the others moved, their figures appeared a few steps away.

Shen Youqing took two steps forward and handed over the magical artifact.

Wang Yebing then ordered the elders to escort Qu Lian back to the Five Elements Sect for severe torture.

Liu Xingchui glanced at it but said nothing.

"Your performance was excellent." Zhang Youli didn't hold back his praise. "Remaining calm under pressure, penetrating deep into enemy territory, and coordinating from the inside and outside—you did a fantastic job!"

"Given your outstanding performance, our sect will reward each of you with a spirit sword," Liu Xingchui said with a wave of his hand.

"Our sect will also reward you," Wang Yebing said gently. "However, you must understand that this incident is just a minor trouble on your path to immortality. The ruthlessness of the demon realm far exceeds your imagination. I hope you will act cautiously in the future, slay demon cultivators, and protect the peace of the cultivation world!"

"Yes!"

All the relatives responded in unison.

"Let them rest first," Hua Yuan said, winking at Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing slightly curved her eyes.

Kong Yanchao and his entourage waved their hands, telling them to go and rest first.

Yue Shihao walked up, threw a healing array at Shen Youqing, and then reached out and carried her daughter away in a princess carry.

Ok?
With both feet off the ground, Shen Youqing's mind went blank, and he stared blankly.

Shen Quelin and Yue Xunzhu immediately took off after them.

"Now that the secret realm is over, it's time to get down to business." Yue Hehua looked at Zhang Youli with a gentle smile on her face.

Seeing Yue Hehua's approach of first being polite and then resorting to force, Zhang Youli was at his wit's end.

Liu Xingchui glanced at Zhang Youli with sympathy, then went to prepare spirit swords for them.

-

Shen Youqing was thrown into the Spirit Spring by his own mother.

The rich wood elemental energy made Shen Youqing feel much more relaxed and comfortable. She poked her head out and looked at the three people on the shore, then raised her hand to wipe the water off her face.

"Don't worry, we will get justice for you," Yue Shihao said.

Shen Youqing blinked. "What is this?"

The spiritual energy from the spring water flowed through my body, and the pain from the backlash was immediately relieved.

"The spiritual spring brought from the Yue family." Yue Xunzhu's gentle voice rang out as he reached out to Shen Youqing. "It will be beneficial to your backlash. Give me the camellia."

Shen Youqing took out the root system and handed it over.

"Quelin, you stay here and keep an eye on things. It's best to let her soak for two hours," Yue Shihao instructed Shen Quelin.

Shen Quelin nodded.

Yue Shihao turned and left to settle accounts, while Yue Xunzhu went to rescue the camellia tree.

With a "gurgle gurgle," the snow crystal purple-eyed cat, carrying the ghost baby, emerged from the water and then climbed onto the shore.

Before Shen Quelin could dodge, he was splashed with water droplets by the Snow Crystal Purple-Eyed Cat.

Upon seeing this, Shen Youqing, who was lying on the shore, laughed without hesitation.

"..." Shen Quelin sat to one side, casting a cleansing spell on himself. "Feeling better?"

Shen Youqing tilted her head.

"Your face has regained some color." Shen Quelin's anxiety eased somewhat.

Shen Youqing, resting his head on his arms, looked at the young man on the shore. "What do you want to ask?"

“Many.” Shen Quelin bent his knees, casually resting one arm on his knee. “The matter of Xiao Ke, the story you made up, and the matter of Shen Qiuluo.”

"What's the matter, senior brother?" Shen Youqing asked, puzzled.

Shen Quelin looked down at her and said, "He tried to block Zhu Quejue's attack for you."

If the camellia tree hadn't been one step ahead, that attack would have landed on Xiao Ke.

Shen Youqing lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes glistening with water droplets.

In her past life, Shen Qiulu colluded with the Demon Realm. To put it bluntly, she strongly suspects that Qu Lian and his group, who suddenly appeared this time, are related to her!
