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

Chapter 318 What if I fall into demonic possession?

Feeling she had said everything she needed to say, Shen Youqing prepared to pour herself a glass of water, only to find Xiao Ke unusually quiet.

Looking at the man holding a stone as if in meditation, Shen Youqing called out, "Senior Brother?"

Xiao Ke did not respond.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be in any trouble, Shen Youqing ignored him.

After realizing what was happening, Yue Xunzhu consulted Shen Youqing for his opinion before taking out a communication talisman.

Before a cup of tea could be brewed, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Youqing removed the barrier, and the sect leaders of the five sects and the heads of several families filed in.

The spacious room suddenly felt much more crowded.

"Please sit down," Wang Yebing waved his hand, looking at the one or two wounded. "Your health is important."

Zhang Youli waved his hand to indicate that they did not need to be so polite, and then said to Shen Youqing, "Young Master Yue said that you brought back a lot of information."

Shen Youqing nodded and looked at the people standing in a circle inside the room.

The five clan leaders, uncle, father and mother, Xiao family head, and Xie family head.

Four of the eight family heads are here.

"Zhao Lingxi is in the Demon Realm." Shen Youqing's first words were a bombshell.

?

Zhang Youli was stunned. Thinking of his junior brother who had disappeared for many years without a trace, he retorted without thinking, "Ling Xi has disappeared for many years. You must have mistaken him for someone else."

The head of the Xiao family spoke slowly, "Perhaps Miss Shen has not made a mistake?"

If the person is in the cultivation world, the Xiao family would definitely find out. But if they can't find out, there are only a few possibilities left.

Zhang Youli's heart skipped a beat.

"Sect Leader Zhang, please wait a moment." Shen Youqing took out a blank scroll and began to paint on the spot.

Shen Youqing didn't paint for long, but during that time Zhang Youli was in a state of turmoil, his mind a jumbled mess.

How could Lingxi possibly have fallen into demonic possession?
As Shen Youqing's painting unfolded before his eyes, Zhang Youli's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.

He wasn't exactly furious, just a little melancholy and disappointed.

“He’s the one who dug out Shen Qiuluo’s innate sword bone,” Shen Youqing said again.

Zhang Youli closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "If I encounter him in the future, I will purge my sect."

Shen Youqing placed the painting on the table.

"Let me start from the beginning." Shen Youqing looked at the group of people and recounted the events of the past few days.

Of course, she definitely concealed the part about the soul bone and the Mysterious Maiden Diagram.

It's no exaggeration to say that these venerable elders, who would remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before them, experienced a rollercoaster of emotions as Shen Youqing narrated his story. It was incredibly thrilling and left them feeling terrified!
Yue Shihao felt that she might really need some quick-acting heart medicine.

Shen Lin was not to be outdone.

She's no longer a rebellious child; she's defying the heavens now!
"You've been more restrained at Qingyu Sect." Zhang Youli finally managed to utter a sentence after a long pause.

It feels like if Shen Youqing stayed in the Demon Realm a little longer, she could wipe it out all by herself!
Hua Yuan raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows, not knowing what to say for a long time.

There's a saying that really suits Xiao Youqing perfectly: "Take life and death lightly, and fight if you're not convinced."

Thankfully, Xiao Youqing is only at the Golden Core stage; if he were at the Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation stage, it would be unimaginable!
The head of the Xiao family gave Shen Youqing a complicated yet appreciative look, and then walked behind Xiao Ke.

Seeing that his son appeared to be in meditation, the head of the Xiao family said nothing.

“Demon Lord…” Wang Yebing couldn’t help but sigh heavily, his gaze towards Shen Youqing was very complicated, “We know about what happened in the secret realm, but this…” The Demon Lord’s attitude was very clear, he had to have Shen Youqing!

To be honest, to be honest!
Given Shen Youqing's fiery temper, what would the Demon Lord be after?
“Clearly, the Demon Lord cannot do without Shen Youqing.” Liu Xingchui had a headache.

There's a saying, what's it again? It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who's eyeing you.

Isn't Shen Youqing the one that the Demon Lord has his eye on?
“There are women prettier than Jinjin, and there are women with better tempers than Jinjin.” Yue Shihao couldn’t quite understand, “Why does the Demon Lord have to keep an eye on Jinjin?”

Yue Shihao sincerely hoped that the Demon Lord would stop harming her precious daughter.

"Who knows?" Shen Youqing was extremely distressed. "If I had ever given him a kind look, that would be understandable, but the problem is that I've never given him a kind look!"

Hua Yuan rubbed Shen Youqing's head, looking at her troubled and confused expression, "Maybe it's because little Youqing is more likable?"

"Is that a human?" Shen Youqing accused. "Isn't that a demon?"

Hua Yuan coughed lightly, looked at the person who was quite resentful, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Meeting his apprentice's resentful gaze, Hua Yuan toned it down a bit.

“For Shen Youqing’s safety…” Zhang Youli was also at a loss. “It’s not safe for her to stay on Soul Dwelling Mountain, and it’s even more unsafe for her to return to Huan Sect!”

The Demon Lord Jun Su is a half-step Tribulation Transcending cultivator. If he wanted to, kidnapping Shen Youqing, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, would be as easy as drinking water for him.

"Few of the ancestors of the Hehuan Sect are reliable," Hua Yuan said upfront. "Sending Xiao Youqing there would be like sending a lamb to the slaughter."

Moreover, Xiao Youqing needs treatment now, so sending him back to Huanzong is unrealistic.

"What about the Yue family?" Yue Shihao asked, looking at her older brother.

Yue Hehua said, "There shouldn't be any problem. The ancestors quite like Jinjin."

Thinking about that month of life in the back mountains, Shen Youqing felt a chill run down his spine.

"Shen Youqing's injury," Kong Yan reminded her, "Lin Jinran can't help because she injured her dantian. Does the Yue family have any solutions?"

Yue Hehua spoke up, "I have already asked the ancestors, and although they have not yet given an answer, I guess there is nothing they can do."

Shen Lin took out a palm-sized black token and handed it to Shen Youqing.

"After you came back, the Demon Lord said you would come looking for him again, and this is what he gave you," Shen Lin said bluntly.

Under Yue Shihao's murderous gaze, Shen Lin continued, "Youqing, this matter concerns your future. You are a child with your own ideas, and whatever decision you make, the Shen family and I will support you."

"Even if I return to the Demon Realm?" Shen Youqing took the token and looked at the group of Venerables.

Shen Lin nodded.

This rebellious son's unyielding pride caused her to suffer damage to her dantian and become mediocre, which was more painful than killing her.

In the face of life and death, everything else is trivial.

He's getting old, and he can't handle the pain of separation and death.

“We’ve already discussed this matter,” Zhang Youli said to Shen Youqing. “We won’t stop it, but I still want to tell you about the consequences.”

Shen Youqing looked up.

“Once this gets out, you’ll be betraying the cultivation world.” Zhang Youli chose to be as blunt as possible. “That’s inevitable, you should understand that. And the Demon Lord probably won’t let you come back.”

Although it's unclear what methods Shen Youqing used to suddenly return, judging from the Demon Lord's attitude, he probably won't let anyone leave easily after Shen Youqing goes to the Demon Realm.

“They might even be assimilated and degenerate into demonic cultivators,” Zhang Youli said again.

Shen Youqing stroked the token in his hand.

She looked at the group of people and asked boldly, "What if I fall into demonic possession?"

Yue Xunzhu couldn't help but feel worried for Shen Youqing.
