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

Chapter 437 Catching a turtle in a urn
There was no sound coming from the communication device for a long time, as if it had fallen into silence.

Looking at the communication symbol that had not yet gone dark, Shen Qiuluo dared not utter a sound or even breathe loudly.

"Take action as soon as possible."

As if the words "death sentence" were transmitted, the communication symbol went dark.

Shen Qiuluo calmed down for a while, her back already soaked with cold sweat.

She shivered from the cold.

As soon as possible, how soon?

The communication symbol lit up again the next second.

You only have three days.

Zhao Lingxi's informing tone rang out.

Before Shen Qiulu could speak, he continued, "Qin Wu and I will help you. Tonight at midnight, find a way to get to the Endless Sea."

As the communication symbol went dark again, Shen Qiuluo's fingers tightened considerably.

Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back for her!

Her heart was pounding, she didn't know whether it was from nervousness or excitement. She took a few deep breaths and began to disguise herself.

Xiao Youqi, who had not yet left the Shen family's residence, had already received the latest news about Shen Qiuluo's actions.

He read it quickly, skimming through it.

"We've got a job." Xiao Youqi looked at Jiang Chenying. "We can go arrest them at midnight tonight."

Jiang Chenying had no suspicions.

After Xiao Youqi finished speaking briefly, he turned and left to arrange the arrest team.

Others were not idle either.

It's almost noon now, about half a day before midnight.

Time was of the essence, and they had to speed up the arrangements.

Before long, only Shen Youqing remained on this side.

When Shen Wuye was summoned over, he saw Shen Youqing forging a longsword.

"Bring Shen Quelin back," Shen Youqing said without looking up.

Shen Wuye didn't ask why, and after responding, he took out a communication talisman to contact Shen Quelin.

After he put away the communication talisman, that clear, cold voice rang out again, "The protective barrier will disappear at midnight tonight. Send those unruly disciples to the front lines."

Such a large and prestigious family naturally has some corrupt elements within it.

Clear out more space so that it will be easier to recruit new disciples later.

Shen Wuye responded, and seeing Shen Youqing intently forging his natal sword, he watched for a while before asking, "Any other arrangements?"

"Bring an elder you trust to come here for a meeting."

Shen Wuye responded.

When Shen Quelin and Yi Yao returned, the elders had just finished talking with Shen Youqing and were leaving.

Yi Yao looked at Shen Youqing, who was swinging the sledgehammer with great force, with surprise in her eyes.

Shen Youqing was aloof and indifferent; she was like a fairy untouched by the world.

But now, the ethereal fairy wielding a giant hammer evokes a sense of disillusionment.

Watching Shen Youqing swinging a sledgehammer to forge his natal sword, Shen Quelin watched for a while and then handed over his own natal sword.

"Didn't you say you didn't need it?" Shen Youqing looked up and glanced at it, then lowered his head and continued swinging the sledgehammer.

Shen Quelin raised an eyebrow. "I've changed my mind."

"beg me."

After not seeing each other for hundreds of years, Shen Youqing's sullenness has reached a new level.

"Please...please." Shen Quelin rolled his eyes in annoyance after saying that.

Seeing Shen Youqing's smug face, he and Yi Yao went to sit down to the side.

It was only then that Yi Yao noticed that the flame under the furnace was a strange fire!

Alien fire?

She stared wide-eyed at the flame, too shocked to process what she was seeing.

Shen Quelin noticed Yi Yao's gaze and looked over.

That strange fire must have been left behind by Xiao Ke.

However, speaking of Xiao Ke, it's unclear when he will be alive.

Coming to her senses, Yi Yao asked Shen Que Lin in a low voice, "Young...Young Master, is that a strange fire?"

Shen Quelin responded.

"Young Master Shen is truly amazing," Yi Yao exclaimed. "Different Flames are extremely difficult to tame, she's just too..."

"I didn't tame it."

A cold voice interrupted Yi Yao's words.

Shen Youqing looked up and said, "These are my senior brother's belongings."

Yi Yao was taken aback, then lowered her head and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I brought up Miss Shen's sad story."

Shen Youqing stopped talking and continued what he was doing.

Shen Quelin leaned slightly against the table, looked at her for a while, then looked back at Yi Yao and asked, "Do you want to come back to the Shen family with me?" Yi Yao was taken aback.

"We're going back to the Shen family in three days," Shen Quelin said calmly.

Yi Yao fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, she said, "I'll go ask Master what he thinks."

Shen Quelin nodded.

After Yi Yao left, Shen Que Lin sat up straight.

"No rush," Shen Youqing said without looking up.

……

As the sun, hanging in the sky, gradually slanted westward, night fell after the last rays of sunlight disappeared.

Having already disguised herself, Shen Qiulu avoided people and stumbled her way to the agreed place.

By the time she arrived at her destination, it was only a quarter of an hour before midnight.

Zhao Lingxi and Qin Wu arrived almost exactly on time.

Upon seeing these two, Shen Qiulu lowered her head and said respectfully, "Xi Demon King, Qin Demon General."

Zhao Lingxi waved his hand, then turned to look at the location of the guardian realm.

Qin Wu flipped her hand, and a magical artifact appeared in her palm.

The magical artifact, with several thin black rings surrounding its central circle, exuded an ominous aura.

"Inject power into it."

Shen Qiulu responded and then raised her hand to form a hand seal.

The power flowing from his fingertips was rapidly injected into the magical artifact.

"Shen Qiuluo! You actually colluded with demonic cultivators!"

"You've been treated so badly by the cultivation world!"

"Take it!"

The sudden sound startled Shen Qiuluo, who shuddered and looked up sharply.

The group was led by Jiang Chenying, followed by Elder Gongyi, Xu Xingzhi, and several other elders with considerable cultivation.

Shen Qiulu's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she swayed as if she were about to collapse!

Finished!

Meeting Jiang Chenying's cold and murderous gaze, Shen Qiuluo thought of those two words and fell into despair.

"Boom——"

At the same time, thunder rumbled from the direction of Soul Dwelling Mountain, and the lightning was exceptionally clear under the night sky.

Jiang Chenying glanced back, then drew his sword and charged toward Shen Qiuluo.

With Shen Youqing and others on Soul Mountain, nothing will happen.

Elder Gongyi and the others acted swiftly.

However, it was too late; the magical artifact had already begun to operate.

The protective barrier on the endless sea shattered and disappeared.

"Enemy attack!!"

"The protective barrier has vanished! The demon realm has invaded!!!"

They were not far from the front lines, and the chaos that had broken out there reached their ears.

"go!"

Zhao Lingxi spoke up decisively.

Meng Qinian, who was hiding in the shadows, quickly caught Zhao Lingxi and struck ruthlessly.

Seeing this, Qin Wu abandoned Zhao Lingxi to cover her and turned to leave.

Shen Qiulu was captured alive by Jiang Chenying, while Zhao Lingxi was captured by Meng Qinian and Xu Xingzhi after being poisoned.

Elder Gongyi could tell just how chaotic the front lines were by simply releasing his divine sense.

"The guardian realm has disappeared, and the front line has been lost."

Jiang Chenying's cold face showed little reaction. He spoke steadily and calmly, "Return."

Elder Gongyi responded.

Soul habitat mountain.

The group, who had just returned from catching the turtle in the jar, were stopped before they could even set up camp.

To be precise, they weren't stopped, but rather everyone from Soul Dwelling Mountain was outside their encampment.

A somewhat disheveled Shen Quelin approached, his voice low and somber, "Shen Youqing has attracted a lightning tribulation; let's take shelter for now."

Jiang Chenying: ?

This doesn't seem like a tribulation lightning strike!
What did Shen Youqing do?
With a somewhat weathered face, Liang Shimu spoke up to answer their questions, "Junior Sister has been forging her natal sword. This is the tribulation of lightning that transforms a magic weapon into a divine artifact."

Why was Qingqing able to forge such a divine weapon?
Because she possesses the Mysterious Maiden Diagram and the Chaos Pearl. [Pay attention!]

Of course, she's the author's biological daughter [a consensus from both the author and the Heavenly Dao] [just kidding!]

Why did the Mysterious Maiden Diagram disappear in the first place? One reason was fate, and the other was that the Mysterious Maiden Diagram itself had a rebellious streak (not really).
