Chapter 420 I Bet

Three hours later.

Upon regaining consciousness, Shen Youqing's first sight was of the familiar curtains, and then she noticed that the spiritual energy flowing within her body was somewhat turbulent.

Excessive spiritual energy, without guidance, doesn't know where to go and can only flow haphazardly through the meridians.

Shen Youqing circulated his cultivation technique to guide spiritual energy back to his dantian while recalling the past.

What's going on with this sudden surge of spiritual energy within my body?

Immediately afterwards, the lingering bitterness in my mouth shot straight to the top of my head.

Who fed her the pills?
Shen Youqing got up and saw that her long dress was still stained with blood. She turned around and went to take a bath.

When she finished getting ready and went out, she saw several sect leaders and Yue Hehua in the courtyard.

Zhang Youli waved his hand to indicate to Shen Youqing that there was no need for formalities, and then said, "Come and sit down."

No sooner had Shen Youqing sat down than Hua Yuan asked with concern, "Is anything bothering you?"

"Everything is fine," Shen Youqing replied.

The spiritual energy stored in her body has not yet been fully digested. Once she has, she should be able to reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will be able to transcend to the Nascent Soul stage within half a month.

Seeing Shen Youqing's still somewhat pale face, Hua Yuan sighed almost imperceptibly.

Once Zhang Youli raised the barrier, Shen Youqing spoke directly, "I have already obtained the Chaos Pearl."

Zhang Youli spoke up, "We've already met."

Have you seen it?
Could it be that the Chaos Pearl escaped while she was unconscious?

Seeing the suspicion on Shen Youqing's face, Shen Quelin told her about what had happened before.

After listening, Shen Youqing pondered for a moment.

Zhang Youli immediately started talking about what happened at Soul Dwelling Mountain.

“Forging the Demon-Sealing Array will take time; you only have half a month,” Wang Yebing said slowly. “Within half a month, you must at least repair most of the Guardian Realm.”

Shen Youqing sat there calmly, his face showing neither panic nor fear, as still as a pool of stagnant water.

The time for the full-blown war to break out has actually been brought forward by so much?
Just as Hua Yuan was about to speak, Shen Youqing asked, "When will the secret realm end?"

"Half a month later," Ji Nanchu's voice rang out.

Shen Youqing nodded.

"Shen Qiulu should be returning from Dengxian Mountain." The calm, indifferent voice spoke slowly, "Jun Su should have already returned to the Demon Realm."

Jun Su chased her all the way to the cultivation world, but Yin Yinghuai and Shen Xingzhi were one step ahead, otherwise she really would have had no chance of escaping.

The expressions of Zhang Youli and the other two became somewhat grave.

Jun Su's return to the Demon Realm is definitely not good news for them.

"Shen Youqing, are you confident? You can repair half of the protective barrier in half a month." Zhang Youli asked in a deep voice.

If she wasn't confident, then the Demon-Sealing Array should begin to be forged immediately, so that fewer people would die.

"There are too many parasites in the cultivation world, why not take this opportunity to clean some up?"

The cold, emotionless voice was utterly cruel.

In their past lives, they forged two demon-sealing formations, but each time, the formations they painstakingly built were destroyed.

Only cultivators can get close to the Demon-Sealing Array. What does this mean?
Some people don't deserve to live!
Ji Nanchu sat there, still calm, showing no emotion whatsoever because of Shen Youqing's words.

Zhang Youli looked at Shen Youqing with a complicated and somewhat heavy gaze.

Do you know how many people will die?

The parasites deserve to die, but what about the innocent people?

They shouldn't have died.

Shen Youqing coldly stated, "The cultivation world is an environment where the fittest survive and the strong are the ones who live."

Zhang Youli did not speak again.

“Sect Leader Zhang has a strong sense of righteousness, but I do not.” Shen Youqing simply stated his position, “I am not the type to repay evil with kindness.”

She remembered every single thing that had happened before!
Did those cultivators not know the demon realm's wolfish ambitions?
They knew, they knew better than anyone! Their desire to send themselves to Jun Su was nothing more than wishful thinking!
They felt that sacrificing a woman in exchange for their lives was a very worthwhile deal!
If it weren't for her powerful backing, she would have been tied up and sent to Jun Su long ago!

Thinking about what had happened before, Zhang Youli fell silent.

If Shen Youqing weren't valuable enough, and if she weren't backed by a powerful family and the Five Sects, she would have been given as a gift to the Demon Lord.

From Shen Youqing's perspective, it was only natural for her to stand by and do nothing; she was willing to intervene...

"Shall we make a bet?" Shen Youqing's cold voice interrupted Zhang Youli's thoughts.

Zhang Youli looked up and asked, "What?"

"I bet those scoundrels will force you to give me away as a gift to Jun Su in order to end the war." Shen Youqing looked at the people in front of the table. "I bet they will."

Zhang Youli didn't speak, but he already had the answer in his heart.

“Three days.” Shen Youqing held up a finger. “If they don’t pressure me in three days, I will do everything in my power to repair the protective barrier.”

Wang Yebing asked gently, "What if they force me?"

"Then die."

The four words "indifferent" made Wang Yebing raise an eyelid slightly.

As expected of a young person, he has a fiery temper.

Zhang Youli had no hope for those people. "We'll see in three days."

Shen Youqing nodded.

"So, Xiao Youqing has a way to repair the Guardian Realm?" Hua Yuan looked at Shen Youqing with a smile.

Shen Youqing nodded.

Now that the Chaos Pearl is assisting her, repairing the Guardian Realm will be a piece of cake for her.

However, it's not time for her to make a move yet.

"I'll have someone keep an eye on Shen Qiuluo," Hua Yuan said with a smile. "Little Youqing, remember to tell your master if you have any plans~"

Shen Youqing nodded obediently.

After finishing their business, the three sect leaders left.

Yue Hehua looked at her niece and sighed with worry.

How I wish Jinjin could still be that carefree little girl she used to be!
Shen Youqing turned to look at Ji Nanchu beside him, "Go to Tianji Sect."

She must overcome this tribulation as soon as possible.

Ji Nanchu raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're going to undergo tribulation?"

? !
Yue Hehua and Shen Quelin were shocked.

"Aren't you only at the Nascent Soul stage?!" Shen Quelin's voice rose. "What tribulation are you undergoing? It's only been a short time; you can't possibly be about to reach the Deity stage, can you?"

Shen Youqing spread his hands and said, "Congratulations, you answered correctly."

Yue Hehua immediately reached out and grabbed Shen Youqing's arm to examine her body.

Under Shen Quelin's shocked and worried gaze, Yue Hehua's expression was solemn and puzzled.

Just as Shen Quelin was about to urge her on, unable to contain his impatience, Yue Hehua withdrew her hand, her tone extremely complicated, "Solid foundation, no issues with physique, cultivation... nearing the Great Perfection of the late Nascent Soul stage..."

Jinjin's cultivation speed is unprecedented and will never be surpassed!
Shen Quelin leaned close to Shen Youqing and asked, "Have you been practicing evil magic?"

"..." Shen Youqing raised his hand to push away the magnified handsome face in front of him, and said with a slightly speechless tone, "Evil magic can backfire. Do I look like I'm about to be backfired?"

"It doesn't seem like it, but yours..."

After Shen Youqing gestured for him to shut up, Shen Quelin shut his mouth.

"Let's go then," Ji Nanchu said gently.

After saying that, he looked at Shen Quelin and said, "You may all go together."

Shen Quelin paused for a moment, then nodded to Ji Nanchu and went out to deliver the message.

Judging from Yue Hehua's complex and profound expression, he must have something to say.

Ji Nanchu got up and went out to wait.

Only Yue Hehua and Shen Youqing remained in the courtyard.
