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

Chapter 453 Zizhou City Has Been Massacred

Shen Qiuluo's extreme torture did not last even an hour.

After examining the body and confirming that she was truly dead, the elder who carried out the execution bowed to Meng Qinian and reported, "The sinner Shen Qiuluo is dead."

Meng Qinian responded and was about to say something when Shen Youqing flicked a flame with his finger.

The flames landed on the corpse and quickly ignited.

Seeing this, Meng Qinian didn't say anything.

"Now that the prisoner is dead, the interrogation ends here." Zhang Youli said, giving no one else a chance to speak.

"Shen Ying, I'm leaving the rest to you."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Youli was already gone.

By the time everyone came to their senses, Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke had also disappeared.

Integrity Peak.

When Jiang Chenying and his fellow disciples returned after finishing their work, they saw Shen Youqing and his group of people sitting around the table, enjoying their meal.

An enticing aroma wafted through the air.

Shen Xingzhi greeted them warmly, "Come on in, come on in, we saved some for you."

As the group walked up, they saw several large bowls filled with dishes that had been prepared beforehand.

Jiang Chenying and the others didn't stand on ceremony and started eating as soon as they picked up their bowls and chopsticks.

Fearing that Shen Youqing might forget what was coming next, Shen Xingzhi said while eating, "Youqing, you have to go to the Azure Dragon Sword Sect after you finish eating."

The matter with Qingyu Sect is now settled. Next, she needs to send the divine sword to Canglong Sword Sect.

"No rush, no rush, Little Aye hasn't been shown to Sect Leader Zhang and the others yet." Shen Youqing took a sip of soup.

Without Shen Youqing even needing to speak, Jiang Chenying took out a communication talisman to contact his master.

A moment later, Zhang Youli arrived.

Shen Youqing picked up the dozing Xiao Aye and put it on the ground. "Sect Leader Zhang, this is the Xuanxi Black-Eyed Serpent."

Zhang Youli looked at the black snake, as thick as a wrist, on the ground and suddenly realized what was going on.

"What is its relationship with the contracted beast of the Unfavorable Ancestor?" A slightly excited voice rang out.

According to records, the last Xuanxi Black-Eyed Serpent was the contracted beast of the ancestor Bufeng.

After the fall of their ancestor, the Xuanxi Black-Eyed Serpent disappeared, and there has been no Xuanxi Black-Eyed Serpent in the cultivation world since.

The return of the Xuanxi Black-Eyed Serpent is of great significance to the Qingyu Sect!
Shen Youqing took a sip of hot soup and answered Zhang Youli's question, "Mother and son."

Zhang Youli took a couple of breaths to calm his excited emotions, and then asked Shen Youqing, "Could you take it to Shengwu Peak?"

This was not about possessing the Xuanxi Black-Eyed Serpent; he simply wanted to take it to pay respects to their ancestor, Bufeng.

"Of course," Shen Youqing agreed readily.

Zhang Youli left with the Xuanxi Black-Eyed Serpent, not wanting to disturb the group of younger members' gathering.

After eating and drinking their fill, the group dispersed and sat down wherever they pleased.

"The teleportation array in Zizhou City was destroyed in time, preventing the demonic cultivators from reaching Zhongzhou City directly through the teleportation array," Xie Changyan's icy voice rang out.

Shen Youqing took a sip of hot tea.

“Zhongzhou City is definitely their target, and of course, the Hehuan Sect might be too.” Liang Shimu leaned back lazily in his chair.

“There’s no need to worry about the Five Sects and the Eight Families, but…” Shen Xingzhi looked at Shen Youqing, “The Shen family’s branches are almost all over the cultivation world. There are Shen family branches not far from Zizhou City. I’m afraid they’ve already clashed with the demonic cultivators there.”

Shen Youqing nodded to indicate that he had heard.

With Zizhou City fallen, I fear Jun Su will soon send word.

We need to find a way to break the bond of vengeance as soon as possible!
Wei Ningguang sat up straight. "What happened with the surrender of Zizhou City?"

She had been busy with the Five Elements Sect's affairs and didn't know much about the specific situation in Zizhou City.

Xiao Youqi, who was the most well-informed, spoke up: "The fall of Zizhou City was inevitable. The branches of the Fifth Family and the Tantai Family there have already retreated. The remaining aristocratic families are a bunch of spineless cowards; they chose to surrender without a fight."

Xie Changting added, "Zizhou City was massacred."

Wei Ningguang's expression became much more serious, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

She still underestimated the extent of the demonic cultivators' madness!
"This news has been suppressed, but I estimate it won't last long," Xiao Youqi's cold voice rang out. Shen Xingzhi's expression turned serious.

“Zizhou City was already invaded by demonic cultivators.” Yin Yinghuai leaned back in his chair, his tone indifferent. “Those aristocratic families opened the city gates directly when the demonic cultivators came, to show their sincerity in surrendering.”

The price for this sincerity was the massacre of Zizhou City.

However, this warning should wake up those fools who are trying to negotiate peace.

Chu Jianyan exhaled, "If it weren't for the sheer number of parasites... damned demonic cultivators!"

She will kill the demonic cultivators and send them back to the Endless Sea sooner or later!

"There's nothing we can do about it," Shen Youqing said, patting Chu Jianyan on the shoulder. "We can't afford to be attacked from both sides."

Rather than being attacked from both sides later, it's better to have more people die now and get rid of those parasites!
Call her selfish or ruthless, all she wants is for the people she cares about to live!

"Jinjin, you're better off killing the innocent than letting the guilty go free," Yue Xunzhu said with a hint of teasing.

Shen Youqing remained noncommittal. She took a sip of tea and said slowly, "In at most ten days, those aristocratic families and sects will come to the Five Sects and Eight Families for help. At that time, there will be one grand event after another."

Shen Quelin looked at Shen Youqing with some concern.

Once the conference begins, Shen Youqing will inevitably be put on a pedestal.

Hopefully, those people won't do anything stupid.

“Now that I’m in the Shen family, the Shen family will inevitably be the first to be attacked by demonic cultivators.” Shen Youqing raised his eyebrows. “Those old ancestors in the back mountain have been idle for too long, it’s time to stretch their muscles.”

Yue Xunzhu seemed to know why Jinjin wanted to seize power.

What grudge or hatred does she hold against the Shen family?
“Those ancestors in the back mountains must hate you to death.” Shen Quelin shook his head.

Shen Youqing sneered, "It's just a small act of revenge because they were blind."

With her around, the Shen family will not decline; at most, there will be some minor turmoil.

Shen Quelin felt genuine heartache for his father.

"Regarding the guardian realm," Xiao Youqi asked, looking at Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke, "Is Xiao Er still a realm spirit?"

Shen Youqing turned his head to look at Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke nodded.

"Since you are still a World Spirit, then protect the World..."

"Boom——"

Xiao Youqi was speaking when a thunderclap suddenly struck from a clear sky.

He looked up at the sky, then shut his mouth and said nothing.

Seeing his elder brother looking somewhat depressed, Xiao Ke couldn't help but smile slightly.

"You will go back to the Shen family with Shen Quelin," Shen Youqing said to Xiao Ke.

Seeing his instantly cold and unwilling expression, she reached out and patted Xiao Ke's arm, "I'll send the Moon Shadow Sword to the Azure Dragon Sword Sect and then come to the Shen family."

"A quarter of an hour," Xiao Ke stated, setting a time limit.

Shen Youqing glanced at him indifferently, "Don't push your luck."

"A cup of tea."

Shen Youqing really wanted to punch Xiao Kebangbang a couple of times, but then she thought better of it.

"I'll be back in fifteen minutes."

Xiao Ke nodded with a cold expression, ignoring the shocked and bewildered expressions on the faces of many around him.

Time was of the essence, so Shen Youqing went up to Shen Xingzhi and pulled her up, saying, "Let's go."

Shen Xingzhi was taken away by Shen Youqing before she could even speak.

Shen Quelin pointed in the direction Shen Youqing had left and asked, "No, why has she become so easy to talk to?"

"Given that Xiao Er has been lost and then regained, Jin Jin will naturally be more indulgent," Yue Xunzhu sighed.

Xiao Ke stood there, looking at Shen Quelin, as if asking when he would go to the Shen family.

"See you later," Shen Quelin said to the others, and left with Xiao Ke, Shen Wuye, and Yi Yao.
