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

Chapter 429 Old Friends Gather
"Shen Youqing!"

Chu Jianyan pulled Jiang Hanying back slightly.

As he fell into a strong, warm embrace, Shen Youqing showed a hint of pain on his face.

"Shen Quelin, you stink!"

Despite his verbal complaints, he patted Shen Quelin's tense body, which was strained by his emotions.

The undisguised disdain made Shen Quelin laugh in anger.

"You ungrateful little brat." Shen Quelin released Shen Youqing, wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes, and then cupped Shen Youqing's cheeks and rubbed them vigorously. "How did you get so thin?"

"..." Shen Youqing held back for a while, but when she saw Shen Quelin treating her like a rag doll, she slapped Shen Quelin's arms away with both hands. "I said enough! Where did you come from?"

"I received a message from Jiang Chenying saying you were at Soul Dwelling Mountain. I came here after killing the demonic beast." Shen Quelin looked down at his travel-worn appearance. "I probably accidentally got some demonic beast's stench on me."

Shen Youqing lowered his head and sniffed his sleeve, then used two dust-removing spells.

Seeing that not everyone had arrived, she asked, "Where are the others?"

“Shen Xingzhi and the others have gone on a mission,” Jiang Chenying replied.

Shen Youqing nodded.

"Don't worry, everyone's alive. Your generation of direct disciples are all Nascent Soul stage cultivators now." Shen Quelin patted Shen Youqing on the shoulder, then proudly said, "Your brother is now in the late Nascent Soul stage, praise me!"

Shen Youqing gave a thumbs up.

"Perfunctory." Shen Quelin placed his hand on Shen Youqing's shoulder. "And you?"

Shen Youqing raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose. "Mahayana."

???

A group of people were so shocked they were petrified.

Jiang Chenying stared at Shen Youqing and said, "So you were lying to me in the hall earlier?"

"Keep it low-key," Shen Youqing gestured with his hand.

Jiang Chenying thought about it and accepted this explanation.

Shen Quelin straightened up, looked Shen Youqing up and down, and said, "Hand over your cultivation secrets."

"Body training?" Shen Youqing asked.

?

Qi Bumian pointed to himself and said, "I also practice body tempering, but I'm only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

Before Shen Youqing could speak, he continued, "Judging from your emaciated appearance, I can roughly tell that you've been cultivating recklessly."

Wei Ningguang asked in a daze, "So the Venerable One who disappeared after completing his tribulation was you?"

"Should?" Shen Youqing asked, not entirely sure.

Wei Ningguang gave Shen Youqing a thumbs up, "It has to be you."

"I'm coming!"

Lin Jinyao dragged Yang Yousheng in from outside, asking, "Aren't we late?"

Jiang Chenying shook her head to indicate that she was not late.

Shen Youqing called out to someone.

"Give me a table!" Lin Jinyao said.

Chi Guyuan put out the table he used for drawing talismans.

The next second, the table was filled with countless steaming hot and delicious dishes.

"I didn't know what my junior sister liked, so I bought a little bit of everything," Yang Yousheng said.

Shen Youqing was deeply moved, then rolled up his sleeves and took the lead in tearing off a chicken leg, saying, "Zhu Suilai."

Zhu Sui, who was standing a little further away, walked up with her short legs and took the chicken leg that Shen Youqing handed her. "Thank you, Mother."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Lin Jinyao and Yang Yousheng, "Thank you, my two senior uncles."

Yang Yousheng bent down and patted Zhu Sui's head.

"Come on, come on, let's eat together." Lin Jinyao laid out a stack of bowls. "Help yourselves."

They were all old acquaintances, so there was no shyness or formality between them.

A group of people started eating, each with a bowl and chopsticks.

Zhu Sui was placed on a stool, and his hands were never empty of a bowl.

When Zhang Youli and his group of five arrived, they saw their disciples sitting around the table, bowls in hand, eating heartily.

"Eat your food." Zhang Youli waved his hand.

It's rare to see them so relaxed; that's a good thing.

Hua Yuan looked at them with a smile, and the tempting aroma of food in the air made her a little hungry.

Liu Xingchui went up and asked Ji Fuchuan to pick up a piece of roasted chicken.

Liu Xingchui, holding a roasted chicken, went to the side to eat.

The four sect leaders were somewhat embarrassed to watch. After all, they were powerful figures and sect leaders!
Kong Yan raised a soundproof barrier, "Sect Leader Ji said earlier that the protective barrier was about to disappear, and the repair just now..."

Shen Youqing swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "The Guardian Realm is indeed going to disappear."

Seeing the group of people whose expressions had become serious, she said, "Don't rush."

Don't rush?
"The essence of the Guardian Realm hasn't dissipated," Shen Youqing said, looking up at the sky. "I can..."

"Boom——"

A sudden clap of thunder on a clear day silenced Shen Youqing, who lowered his head and began to eat.

If you can't say it, then you can't say it; that's the petty way of Heaven.

The five sect leaders all turned their gazes toward Shen Youqing.

"Can you..."

Jiang Chenying had only spoken halfway when another thunderclap sounded.

After being warned, Jiang Chenying behaved herself.

"I won't ask anymore." Zhang Youli waved his hand, speaking evasively, "You know what I mean."

Since Heaven forbids it, they will not ask any further questions.

Shen Youqing swallowed the duck meat in his mouth and tentatively asked, "How about we let a big battle break out?"

"It's not impossible."

Seeing Shen Youqing's somewhat surprised expression, Zhang Youli gave his reasoning: "A purely defensive approach is not a long-term solution. The rampant demonic cultivators are simply because they think we can't fight them."

"If we want lasting peace, we must beat the demonic cultivators into submission! Beat them until they're terrified!" Liu Xingchui wiped his hands and continued Zhang Youli's words.

"If the protective realm can be destroyed once, it can be destroyed twice or three times," Kong Yan said solemnly. "If you want the cultivation world to have lasting peace, then fight! Fight to the death!"

"Anyway, some people can't sit still anymore, so they might as well shift the blame onto others." Hua Yuan said unhurriedly, "The Hehuan Sect is not afraid of war."

Shen Youqing nodded.

Not just the Hehuan Sect, none of the five sects are afraid of war.

The group of people gathered around the table didn't stop eating.

They had been preparing for a great war for three hundred years!
"Just fight, the Five Elements Sect will take care of all the magic weapons," Wang Yebing said, waving his hand.

Zhang Youli spoke up, "The Qingyu Sect is in charge of elixirs."

"My Lingxiao Sect can do anything." Kong Yan waved his hand.

Hua Yuan looked at the group of greedy cats with a smile, "We're getting old, why don't we just let them do it?"

Their cultivation level at the Nascent Soul stage is quite high; they are already capable cultivators who can stand on their own.

Let's take this opportunity and hand it over to them.

The group of people, who were enjoying their meal, all looked over.

Is this right? !

Seeing their confused expressions, Zhang Youli pondered for a moment and said, "Alright."

Kong Yan and the other two nodded.

"Come to the lobby after you finish eating." Huayuan waved with a smile.

The five sect leaders then dispelled the barrier and left.

Shen Quelin swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a hint of sympathy, "That's pretty tragic."

"Don't worry, you probably won't be in much better shape either." Shen Youqing snatched the duck meat that Shen Quelin was about to pick up with his chopsticks.

Shen Quelin thought for a moment, but didn't dare to speak.

Shen Youqing is now at the Mahayana stage and has no problem protecting himself, which means that Shen Qiuluo has lost her value.

Since Shen Qiuluo was of no value, his "open and covert struggle" with Shen Wuye came to an end.

The Shen family is at peace; perhaps the father will actually relinquish power.

Jiang Hanying, who was not involved, added a meatball to Shen Youqing's bowl. "There's a shortage of accommodation at the Hehuan Sect. Why don't you come stay at my place, Senior Sister Youqing?"

Jiang Xuan'an and Lin Jinyao, the senior and junior siblings, looked over together.

Shen Quelin did not speak.

Shen Qiu landed at the Shen family's residence, and Shen Youqing, who returned there, also found it uncomfortable.

Shen Youqing nodded, "Okay."

After the second Demon-Sealing Array was destroyed in the previous life, only Qingqing, Xie Changyan, and Wen Shiyue survived as direct disciples of the five sects.

The ancestors of the five sects are basically gone, so the Yue family took the initiative to step forward in order to forge the Demon-Sealing Array.

The Yue family cannot be without a leader, so Yue Xunzhu took the initiative to lead the effort to forge the Demon-Sealing Array.

Upon learning this news, Qingqing knocked Yue Xunzhu unconscious and sent her to the back mountain of the Yue family. Then, she revealed that "after Qingqing's death, the Mysterious Maiden Diagram disappeared, and the cultivation world was at its end. They rose up in rebellion and won the victory. Afterward, the Guardian Realm reappeared."

Two hundred years after the Five Sects Gathering of the previous life, the Guardian Realm shattered, and a great war broke out. The young disciples of the Five Sects, still in their formative years, were forced to go to the battlefield. [Meanwhile, because there were many corrupt elements within the cultivation world, their deaths were often due to betrayal.]
