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

Chapter 340 Don't be disgusting

Wei Ningguang's words garnered much agreement and support from her close associates.

If it weren't for the Mysterious Maiden Diagram, whether Shen Qiuluo lived or died wouldn't matter.

"There is no doubt that Shen Qiuluo was kidnapped," Liang Shimu said calmly. "The mastermind behind this was well-prepared."

Shen Youqing grabbed some melon seeds from the table and started cracking them open.

"It's not surprising that Shen Qiuluo was captured, after all, she possesses the Xuan Nu Diagram and has innate sword bones," Shen Xingzhi said unhurriedly.

After saying that, she continued, "The Five Sects and Eight Families are all located at Yiming Mountain. Just what kind of people could capture someone right under the noses of these Venerable Ones?"

This was a question that not only Shen Xingzhi was curious about, but also others.

Shen Youqing suddenly looked around, then turned to Shen Quelin and asked, "Where's my brother?"

Shen Quelin asked in a cold voice, "Which brother?"

Under Shen Youqing's gaze, he crossed his arms and slowly said, "You have so many brothers."

"Cousin," Shen Youqing looked Shen Quelin up and down, "Why are you being so sarcastic? Have you taken the wrong medicine?"

Shen Quelin glanced at Shen Youqing, "I don't know about my cousin. I saw him briefly in the square before. Maybe my uncle had something for him to handle."

Shen Youqing tilted his head slightly.

I feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

"Today's match was much tougher," Jiang Chenying suddenly blurted out.

As soon as he said that, everyone turned to look at him.

Shen Youqing looked Jiang Chenying up and down, noticing that he didn't seem tired at all, and asked with some skepticism, "Are they all late-stage Golden Core cultivators?"

"Don't listen to Jiang Chenying's nonsense." Shen Xingzhi's speechless voice rang out. When Shen Youqing looked over, she said, "In more than half of the twenty matches, he cut down his opponent with just two sword strikes."

"..." Shen Youqing's lips twitched. "May I ask what the difficulty was? Was it that you couldn't send the person down with a single sword strike?"

Jiang Chenying shook her head.

“Senior brother’s intentions may be ill,” Chi Guyuan said, then looked at the disciples of the other sects. “It’s not just us; I’m sure you all feel the same way.”

“Indeed,” Lin Youran agreed. “Those who came to me for a fight today were mostly late-stage Golden Core cultivators; there were practically no mid-stage Golden Core cultivators.”

The malice of those sects is now blatantly obvious.

“I still have two Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators here,” Wei Ningguang said calmly.

Well, I was really looking forward to it at first, but after playing it, I felt a sense of disappointment that my expectations had been dashed.

This sense of loss made her really want to find Jiang Chenying and the others for a sparring match.

“I’m not much better off.” Yin Zhongyu sighed, then began to talk about Jiang Chenying’s situation, “I remember that Fellow Daoist Jiang was also challenged by several Golden Core Grand Perfection cultivators.”

"Challenge Jiang Chenying?" Shen Youqing leaned back slightly. "How could someone be so foolish as to do that!"

Jiang Chenying has a decent cultivation level in the late Golden Core stage, but that doesn't mean he only has the strength of the late Golden Core stage. He hasn't broken through purely because of the Five Sects Tournament!
With his talent, once he reaches the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, a tribulation of lightning could strike at any moment.

Similarly, the reason why the senior brothers and sisters of the other sects did not break through is also because of this.

Jiang Chenying glanced at Shen Youqing indifferently.

As time went by, her mouth started to grow longer.

"The worst off are probably a few alchemists, right?" Qi Bumian said, raising his hand to pat his fifth junior brother on the shoulder.

Jing Liang said, "I'm fine, I can fight."

"I'm the worst off," Ye Zhenzhou said quietly. "I've realized that alchemy can't save me." He would now begin body tempering.
If anyone dares to mess with him, he can smash a pill-refining furnace over their head!

He felt that persuading people by force was simpler and faster than persuading them by reason!
Seeing Ye Zhenzhou's tired appearance, Jing Liang suddenly realized something, and her gratitude and admiration for her master increased even more.

"No wonder my master told me not to be confined to alchemy alone," Jing Liang remarked.

Ye Zhenzhou only regretted that he was so engrossed in alchemy that he hadn't developed his skills in other areas!

"Luckily, I'm a sword cultivator," Hua Ci remarked.

Lu Ye nodded silently in agreement.

The best thing about sword cultivators is their fighting ability!
As the junior sister of the Hehuan Sect, Shen Youqing had no right to speak.

Lin Youran, however, has a lot to say.

Because she was the one who was beaten the most badly among the direct disciples of the Hehuan Sect!
Seeing Shen Youqing quietly eating sunflower seeds, Chu Jianyan smiled slightly.

Junior Sister Qing's combat prowess is so impressive that it's easy to forget she's the junior sister.

Wei Ningguang had already started eating a handful of sunflower seeds without anyone noticing.

"We didn't know what happened when we went to Soul Dwelling Mountain, but the attitude of the other sects was clear." Chu Jianyan said slowly, "With the foundation of their sects, at most they will come again tomorrow, and that will be the end of it."

Jiang Chenying began to make serious calculations.

"Anyway, they're planning to gang up on us," Ji Fuchuan said succinctly. "I only have one thing to say: just do it!"

Shen Xingzhi closed her eyes.

However, this is how the stereotype of sword cultivators as brutes came about.

"The words may be rough, but the principle is sound," Chu Jianyan agreed.

Lin Youran gave a sinister laugh, "It'll take some time for them to finish the revival match. Let's snipe them together after they're done!"

Shen Youqing patted Lin Youran on the shoulder, "I'll avenge Third Senior Sister."

Lin Youran gave her junior sister a gentle smile, then said hatefully, "Damn it, I'm going to work hard to cultivate and try to smash that bastard to death with my alchemy cauldron as soon as possible!"

Although her junior sister is good, she, as the senior sister, cannot always rely on her junior sister; she must strive to become stronger!
Lin Jinyao paused for a moment, and finally just patted Lin Youran's shoulder encouragingly.

"I'm still very curious about what exactly happened?" Wen Shiyue said slowly. "Such blatant malice, do they really think we're pushovers?"

"Maybe it's because of me?" Shen Youqing pointed to himself.

Under the watchful eyes of her trusted followers, she said, "Because of my ambiguous relationship with the Demon Lord, because you are all on my side?"

"Huh?" Wen Shiyue laughed in exasperation.

Jiang Zhi's expression was speechless. "Do you think we don't know about your affair with the Demon Lord? With the way you practically wanted to bring him back to claim credit, you think you're having an affair with him? What? You think you'd develop feelings for the Demon Lord out of hatred? Don't be disgusting!"

Shen Youqing nodded repeatedly.

The way she nodded so vigorously made Lin Youran rub her face.

Although Xiao Ke was watching intently, he didn't dare to make a move rashly, since Shen Youqing was still somewhat annoyed with him.

"Although it's absurd, it makes sense when considering the current situation," Jiang Chenying said coldly.

The Hehuan Sect has always seemed to be the weakest among the five sects, and since Shen Youqing is a direct disciple of the Hehuan Sect, her relationship with the Demon Lord naturally became the breakthrough point.

Other sects didn't want to see the five sects united, but they all trusted Shen Youqing.

“The Hehuan Sect, which has consistently ranked last, easily gives people the illusion of being weak, making it an easy target for a breakthrough,” Jing Liang analyzed. “The matter between Shen Youqing and the Demon Lord is like a handle handed over to them; they will definitely hold a grudge against Shen Youqing and the Hehuan Sect.”

“At this point, they hope that the other four sects will isolate the Hehuan Sect, or even target the Hehuan Sect.” Gu Xingluan put down the melon seed shells in her hand. “But we trust Junior Sister Youqing. Things were not within their calculations, so they got anxious and angry, and wanted to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.”
