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

Chapter 375 You shall pay for my son's life!

Faced with Shen Quelin's questioning, Shen Lin was not angry, but only sighed.

Why do you think the Xiao family gave the ephemeral jade to Youqing?

Shen Lin turned his head to look at his son, who always made him proud, and said slowly, "It's true that Young Master Xiao likes Youqing, but how much is that liking worth?"

He didn't go, nor did the elders of the Shen family, because he had already made arrangements in advance!
Unfortunately, that unlucky neighbor had to get involved, which nearly scared him to death.

Shen Quelin glanced at him sideways, "Really?"

"..." Shen Lin couldn't hold back any longer, "Stop playing with Shen Youqing!"

One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black!

It's only been a short time! I can't imagine how long it could have been!
Shen Quelin raised his head, his tone inexplicably proud, "I think being a rebellious son is pretty good."

Shen Lin: ...

It's pitch black and I can't see the end of it!

……

Shen Youqing came out from the back mountain and saw Xiao Ke waiting there.

The man, whose eyes revealed a hint of unease, strode forward, only relaxing his grip on Shen Youqing's hand.

Shen Youqing patted his hand and then walked towards Changkang Garden.

Judging by the time, Shen Quelin has already returned, so there's no need for her in the study.

Changkang Garden.

inside the house.

Shen Youqing raised a soundproof barrier.

“I know what you want to ask.” Xiao Ke sat down next to Shen Youqing and tightened his grip on her hand. “After being taken back to the Xiao family, I had some memories in my mind, like memories from a previous life.”

Shen Youqing opened his mouth, but the words he wanted to ask stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

That answer made me feel a bit apprehensive, like someone returning home for the first time.

"After you left, I was plunged into darkness. I stayed in the darkness for a long time. When I woke up and went out to look for you, I couldn't sense your presence. I couldn't find it in the cultivation world, in the demon realm, anywhere..."

Seeing the man about to fall into another nightmare, Shen Youqing raised her hand and patted his cheek. "Focus, I'm here."

Xiao Ke closed his eyes and it took him a while to emerge from his memories.

“I don’t know how I woke up. When I woke up, the war on the Endless Sea had stopped. I heard that the shattered protective barrier had been restored.” Xiao Ke lowered his head and rested his head on Shen Youqing’s shoulder. “I went to find you, but everyone said you were dead.”

With the war over and the emergence of the Guardian Realm, it seems the cultivation world has won.

It's good that they didn't die in vain; it's just a pity they didn't get to see a peaceful and prosperous world.

Shen Youqing was silent for a moment, then asked, "And what about you?"

"I want to find you." The low voice sounded even more aggrieved, "But I am a spirit of the realm, and the Heavenly Dao will not let me die."

What Xiao Ke didn't say was that, having nowhere to die, he created a dream for himself, and he chose to immerse himself in it, falling into a deep sleep.

Shen Youqing's hand, which had been stiff for a moment, landed on Xiao Ke's back and patted it gently.

Judging from Xiao Ke's current temperament, one can glean some insight into his future; his end will certainly not be good.

So, she's not a very human being.

Having calmed down a bit, Xiao Ke looked up at Shen Youqing and said, "Let's go back to the Yue family."

He knew that Qingqing didn't like the Shen family very much.

"it is good."

Shen Youqing went to tell Elder Shen and then left from the back mountain.

As she emerged from the back mountain, preparing to use a teleportation talisman to go to the Yue family, a teleportation array that had been prepared beforehand suddenly lit up beneath her feet.

Xiao Ke suddenly pounced on Shen Youqing and hugged her tightly to prevent her from throwing him out again.

The next second, the spiritual power within his body was suppressed by the formation and instantly fell silent.

"Pfft-"

Before they could even see where they were, the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, accompanied by a muffled groan of pain, rang out first.

"Xiao Ke!"

Shen Youqing raised her hand to break the formation, but Xiao Ke, with an unknown strength, held Shen Youqing tightly in his arms.

He forcefully channeled his spiritual power, using it and his body to block the deadly blades.

The sharp blades from all directions reflected a chilling light. Shen Youqing, held tightly in Xiao Ke's arms, couldn't see clearly, only hearing the incessant sound of blades piercing flesh. Before Shen Youqing could react, he felt his body being thrown away by a tremendous force.

"boom!"

Hua Yuan's sword strike from the sky was a step too slow; it only intercepted 70% of the force, with the remaining 30% landing on Xiao Ke.

"Xiao Ke!"

"Xiao Er!"

……

It was unclear whose spiritual power had supported them, preventing them from crashing heavily to the ground, but the stench of blood in their nostrils grew stronger and stronger.

The lingering smell of blood made it seem as if she were immersed in blood.

A greenish-blue healing array lit up beneath the two of them.

Hua Yuan pointed his long sword at Jun Su, who stood a few steps away. Jun Su did not move, but he did not leave either.

She glanced slightly at Xiao Ke and Shen Youqing, but her main focus remained on Jun Su, to prevent him from rioting and killing again.

The head of the Xiao family and Yue Hehua rushed towards Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke.

Shen Lin, who arrived a step too late, stared at the scene, his expression momentarily blank.

With blood and life force flowing rapidly, Xiao Ke barely managed to keep his eyes open and looked at the group of people. After determining that it was safe, he slowly slid down the arm that was around Shen Youqing.

Compared to the dying Xiao Ke, Shen Youqing was completely unharmed.

Seeing Shen Youqing safe and sound, Xiao Ke's previously unfocused gaze was filled with a sense of relief.

He finally protected Qingqing this time.

"Senior brother? Senior brother?"

Shen Youqing reached out and caught the man who was falling down, his hand immediately covered in warm, sticky blood.

The warm blood scalded her hands, causing them to tremble uncontrollably.

Xiao Ke lay weakly in Shen Youqing's arms, blood gushing from his opening and closing mouth.

A body losing its temperature, blood flowing uncontrollably, unfocused eyes, dissipating spiritual energy...

All of this was telling Shen Youqing that Xiao Ke was on the verge of death.

Fear made Shen Youqing tremble with fear. She realized she couldn't create a healing array. She looked up abruptly and saw Yue Hehua as if she had found a lifeline.

"Uncle! Save him! Save my senior brother! I can take over as the mountain-guarding elder, I'll take the position, I..."

Looking at the incoherent Shen Youqing, Yue Hehua said with heartache, "Jinjin."

He had already cast several healing arrays over there, but if the healing arrays were effective, Xiao Ke would already be lively and energetic.

Looking at Shen Youqing's face, which was filled with panic and fear, Yue Hehua couldn't bear to tell her that cruel answer.

Sensing something, Shen Youqing suddenly reached out and caught the hand that was sliding down.

Looking at the lifeless man with his eyes closed, Shen Youqing's face went blank instantly.

In that instant, it was as if all her energy and spirit had been drained away.

The head of the Xiao family, standing to one side, already had red eyes.

He turned to look at Jun Su, his reddened eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.

"Jun! Su! You will pay for my son's life!"

Seeing the head of the Xiao family rushing forward without saying a word, Jun Su gathered his longsword to block.

Seeing this, Huayuan quickly joined the battle.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lin was at a loss for what to do.

When Sima Tian arrived with several elders of the Xiao family, she saw Shen Youqing sitting on the ground and Xiao Ke lying on her lap.

Beside Shen Youqing, the hairpin-shaped magical artifact that he had personally put on her broke and fell to the ground.

Her son, covered in blood, was lifeless.

Before Sima Tian could rush forward, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.

Xiao Ke's body disintegrated into countless tiny fragments at an irreversible speed, scattering with the wind.

Let me briefly explain why Xiao Ke died. [Pay attention!]

The Demon Realm intends to destroy the Guardian Realm and attack the Cultivation Realm. As a Realm Spirit, Xiao Ke will inevitably be the Demon Realm's primary target.
Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws; there's no way to overcome absolute power.
Jun Su has lived for an unknown amount of time, while Xiao Ke is only a few years old; it's impossible for them to catch up in a short period of time.
As for Qingqing [pay attention!], the magical artifact Sima Tian gave Qingqing broke, but Qingqing was alright partly because of the artifact and partly because of the flute carving.
Jun Su did this to force Qing Qing to reveal her hand, and then capture her, ensuring she couldn't escape.
