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

Chapter 467 Surprise Attack on Hanami Castle

The barrier was removed, and dust drifted in all directions.

The group, choked by the smell of ash, quickly erected a protective barrier.

"Come on, let's divide the spoils!"

You can't see where she is, but you can barely tell her location by her voice.

The group followed the sound and went to investigate.

As the dust settled, they saw Shen Youqing sitting in a chair woven from tree branches.

The woman sat leisurely with her legs crossed, a string of storage bags hanging from her Moon Shadow Sword.

"Where's the body?"

Shen Xingzhi looked around but couldn't see a single severed limb.

"It's gone." Shen Youqing tossed the storage bag hanging on the Moon Shadow Sword over.

Xie Changting reached out and caught several storage bags, asking before opening them, "Is there any danger?"

Demonic cultivators are cunning and treacherous; who knows if they might have poison in their storage rings?

“Isn’t there a healer here?” Shen Youqing asked seriously.

Looking at the suddenly unreliable Shen Youqing, Xie Changting smiled with a hint of helplessness.

The moon's weakness reflected a sense of helplessness on the water's surface.

"How's the mining of spirit stones going?" Shen Xingzhi asked.

The camellia tree blocking the mine entrance moved its branches aside, indicating that Shen Xingzhi could go in and take a look.

Shen Xingzhi, who wasn't particularly interested in the storage bag, decided to go down into the mine to take a look.

Shen Xingzhi went down into the mine, while Wei Ningguang and the other three were rummaging through their storage bags.

"I must say, these magical artifacts are indeed quite something." Wei Ningguang's voice was filled with fervor.

If circumstances allowed, she might dismantle those magical artifacts on the spot for research.

After searching through the storage bags of those demonic cultivators, Xie Changting concluded, "These demonic cultivators are not simple."

"It might be the Demon King," Shen Youqing deduced.

Chu Jianyan pondered for a moment before speaking, "There are many spies from the Demon Realm in the cultivation world. The Demon Lord couldn't possibly be unaware of your strength. Is he deliberately sending these people to their deaths?"

Jun Su's actions are truly incomprehensible.

Shen Youqing shrugged.

Who knows.

"The Demon Lord might be testing Miss Shen's strength by doing this," Xie Changting's gentle voice rang out.

Wei Ningguang was already secretly hiding the magic artifact there.

For a weapon maker, the allure of researching magical artifacts is too great!

Xie Changting and the others turned a blind eye.

“I tend to agree with Young Master Xie’s statement,” Yue Ruoshui offered her opinion.

Shen Youqing pondered for a moment, "How about I go too..."

"You don't want to." Yue Ruoshui quickly interrupted Shen Youqing.

Looking at her somewhat pitiful younger sister, Yue Ruoshui remained unmoved and said, "You went to Huajian City to rebuild it."

Just as Shen Youqing was about to retort, the communication talisman on his waist lit up.

"Junior Sister, the Demon Lord is being held back by Fifth Junior Brother and can't return for the time being. You can launch an attack on Huajian City." Liang Shimu's voice came from the communication talisman.

Shen Youqing turned to look at the group, "The Demon Lord is in the Expedition City, you can launch an attack."

Wei Ningguang stood up, her relaxed state turning serious. "I'll contact Liang Shimu. Shen Xingzhi must be back within fifteen minutes."

After saying that, Wei Ningguang had already left.

Xie Changting and the others followed.

Shen Youqing personally went down into the mine and pulled Shen Xingzhi up.

The battle at the Spirit Stone Mine has ended, but the battle at Flower Grass City has just begun.

Shen Youqing sat in the chair, resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

Zhu Sui walked up carrying a crystal-clear spirit stone in both hands.

"Mother~"

Shen Youqing, who had been sitting there in a daze, came back to his senses and then his pupils dilated in shock.

Mineral resources?!
"For Mother~" Zhu Sui carried the ore to Shen Youqing and looked up at her with her delicate, pretty face.

Shen Youqing took the ore with one hand and picked up Zhu Sui with the other, placing him on his lap.

"Where did you find it?"

Zhu Sui tilted his head, "A little girl found it. This is a good thing, for Mother~"

"Thank you." Shen Youqing patted Zhu Sui's little head. Zhu Sui smiled, looking very cute.

A camellia tree on the side crept over, splitting open its heart as if to take a bite of the mineral source.

Shen Youqing slapped him across the face.

After being hit, the double-petaled red camellia drooped down, looking dejected.

Looking at the wilted red camellia, Shen Youqing touched the petals and said, "You want to take a bite of everything, you're so greedy."

As long as the mineral resources are available, the Ling Shi mine will have a continuous supply.

In other words, as long as there is a mineral source, she can cultivate a spirit stone mine in her space!

The double-petaled red camellia rubbed against Shen Youqing, as if it were being affectionate.

Shen Youqing sent the mineral resources into the space.

"There's still good stuff inside, I told them to keep digging!"

After saying that, Zhu Sui jumped off Shen Youqing's lap and strode down the mine with his short legs.

Shen Youqing leaned back against the branch, and the camellia tree branch moved over to help shade her from the sun.

The wilderness was deserted, quiet and still.

Shen Youqing was able to see the situation in Huajian City by slightly releasing his divine sense.

Shen Xingzhi and her group acted swiftly, launching a surprise attack with the sects and aristocratic families.

Hanami Castle

Looking at the city gate they had breached, Shen Xingzhi and the others exchanged glances.

It's a scam!

Nine times out of ten, demonic cultivators are trying to lure you into a trap!

"Back off!"

Shen Xingzhi raised her voice, which resounded throughout the battlefield, ensuring that every cultivator could hear it.

Wei Ningguang and the others also began to direct their disciples to retreat.

Those powerful sects and families, seeing the city gates open, were consumed by their own ambitions.

"Come on!"

"Let's take back Hanami Castle in one fell swoop!"

……

Several elders, who considered themselves highly experienced, raised their arms and led the disciples of their sects and families forward.

Shen Xingzhi and the others looked at each other, speechless.

The disciples of the three sects and two families obeyed orders very well; they quickly retreated and adjusted their positions.

"what!!!"

Screams erupted from the cultivators who stormed into the city, and a cloud of blood accompanied the arrogant laughter of the demonic cultivators.

"retreat!"

“There’s an ambush!!!”

"Get out!"

The more aggressively they attacked, the more pathetically they fled.

Xie Changting couldn't help but laugh.

It's so stupid it's laughable.

"Stop laughing," Wei Ningguang said, trying hard to keep a straight face. "If you keep laughing, I won't be able to hold back."

She's lived so many years and seen stupid people, but she's never seen anyone this stupid.

Seeing the demonic cultivators rushing out of the city, Shen Xingzhi took a deep breath to suppress her laughter and commanded in a serious voice, "Canglong Sword Sect disciples, charge forward!"

"Smash the sword formation forward!"

"Disciples of the Xie family, flank from both sides and assist the disciples of the Azure Dragon Sword Sect." Xie Changting's gentle voice carried an unyielding and authoritative command.

The Xie family disciples obeyed the instructions and acted swiftly.

"What's the point of keeping these magical artifacts? Smash them to death!" Wei Ningguang shouted coldly. "My Five Elements Sect lacks everything, but we don't lack magical artifacts! Smash them as hard as you can!"

Chu Jianyan's stern voice rang out, "Talisman cultivators, step back! Don't slack off! Set up the talisman array!"

Yue Ruoshui silently directed the Yue family disciples to use the healing array.

The people directing the attack naturally became the target, but they were surrounded by junior disciples with Nascent Soul cultivation, so the demonic cultivators couldn't get close at all.

Watching the endless stream of demonic cultivators, Shen Xingzhi felt an intense urge to join in.

Next time, someone else must take command; she's going to kill the demonic cultivators!

Shen Youqing, watching this united scene from afar at the spirit stone mine, felt a sense of satisfaction.

The Five Sects and Eight Families are undoubtedly excellent, but those other sects and aristocratic families need further training.
