After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Speaking of which, it is said that the first disciple of the Pavilion Master of Wanyun Pavilion only has one female disciple. She is quite beautiful and her cultivation has already reached the Nascent Soul Realm. However, the rumors about her are not good; she is said to be a money-grubber.

And right now... could this be the money-grubbing senior sister of Wanyun Pavilion?

Looking at the pretty but slightly reserved woman in front of him, Xiao Yu dismissed his earlier thought; she didn't seem like it.

This time, Wanyun Pavilion in Fengqiu Secret Realm didn't send anyone to participate. It's said that something happened and they were too busy to handle it.

Upon hearing the black-robed girl's question, especially the mention of the Wan Yun Pavilion, the pretty woman visibly stiffened. Her smile became somewhat forced as she opened her mouth to explain:

“Wan Yun Pavilion… I have a good friend who is a disciple there, and that’s how I learned a lot. And sister… I’m not used to this title yet, I haven’t gotten used to it. Please call me by my name. My surname is Feng and my given name is Ling. Just call me Feng Ling.”

Feng Ling... An unlikely thought popped into Xiao Yu's mind. He had heard that the new disciple of the Wan Yun Pavilion Master was named Ling Feng.

"Oh, then... you can just call me Black Fiend."

The girl in the black robe responded, her pink and white eyes darting around under her hood, before she quickly gave a name that perfectly matched her current attire.

Inside the room, after the two introduced themselves, they both looked at Xiao Yu and Bu Suantian, their meaning self-evident.

"Should I give my name? I'm a fortune teller... um."

Having spent so much time in the deep mountains, the little dumpling had become rather naive and instinctively prepared to reveal her name. Fortunately, Xiao Yu was quick enough to stop her in time.

Instantly, this action drew their attention to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu gave an awkward laugh: "Haha, as for names, I am Ye Ba, Ye as in maple leaf and Ba as in tyrant tiger. As for her... you can just call her Bu Suanzi... Ouch, my hand."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yu felt a familiar wet sensation on his palm again, followed by a sharp pain that forced him to release his grip on Bu Suantian.

"Bah!"

Bu Suantian Yingrun's small mouth opened slightly, and she spat out a few mouthfuls. Xiao Yu had just petted the cat when he covered her mouth with his hand. What a jerk.

Meanwhile, the two people opposite them started pondering the names Xiao Yu and Bu Suantian.

"Bu Suanzi? What a strange name... and also..."

Feng Ling's eyes were deep, and a hint of resentment appeared on her face, as if she was thinking about something.

The girl in black robes had bright eyes. "Tyrant Tiger? What's that? It sounds pretty imposing. A demonic beast?!"

"Pretty much. Let's think about how to establish a sect. As for the three conditions Feng Ling mentioned, putting aside the first one, the second one, having our own territory, seems unlikely given our conditions and cultivation level."

Xiao Yu spoke up, bringing the topic back on track as it began to veer off course. He truly didn't have much hope for the so-called creation of a sect.

He planned that if all else failed, he would have to go to Long Wanyan, the wealthy sect leader. The Qingyun Floating Sect was large and powerful, and it wouldn't be a problem to squeeze another one of him in.

The only concern is...

Xiao Yu's gaze fell on the sword-nurturing gourd in his hand, which had a yellow tassel attached to it.

He's already received enough benefits from Long Wanyan; if things continue like this, how will he ever repay her? With his body?

Moreover, if he really joined the secret realm by using his identity as a disciple of the Qingyun Floating Sect, Long Wanyan probably wouldn't let him leave after the secret realm ended.

She might even use the excuse that he is already a disciple of the Qingyun Floating Sect to forcibly detain him in the sect. Judging from Long Wanyan's previous enthusiastic attitude towards him, she is very likely to do so.

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling and the other person stopped paying attention to the name Xiao Yu had given and focused their attention on the sect conditions Xiao Yu had mentioned.

The people present were just strangers who had met by chance. Their names were not important. They had gathered together simply to participate in the Phoenix Hill Secret Realm. They did not reveal their real names.

"Owning your own land? That is indeed a problem. My father has more than a dozen plots, and although they will all be mine in the future, the deeds are still in his name, and I can't touch them... What about you?"

Feng Ling fell into deep thought upon hearing Xiao Yu's question. It was indeed a thorny issue at the moment, but soon she turned her gaze to Xiao Yu and the others.

No... what real estate tycoon? Which family's runaway heiress are you?

Xiao Yu felt a chill run down his spine, but to be honest, he did have his own territory, but it was on Jumo Island, specifically on the Great Bamboo Sword Peak where he lived.

Owning a piece of land in the outside world is not a simple matter; it would have been easier when Longshouzhou was first developed.

Currently, all areas have been designated, and apart from some public areas, any land with even a little bit of spiritual energy has already been claimed.

Unless they are second-generation immortals with some resources, ordinary cultivators below the Golden Core realm do not have their own land to create a cave dwelling.

Indeed, it's still too fantastical to think that a sect could be created in such a short time to participate in a secret realm.

As Xiao Yu was pondering this, the black-robed girl beside him suddenly brightened up and murmured, "...A land deed?"

He reached into her large robe and rummaged around, then pulled out a light brown, rolled-up piece of paper:

"Do you think this thing will do?"

She straightened her back proudly, loosened her grip on the paper, leaving only her fingers pinching the edge. The paper was unfolded, and on the neat surface, several large black characters were clearly written—Xuanlei Mountain Land Deed.

Xiao Yu's lips twitched. "You actually have one?!"

wrong!

This is... the land deed for Mount Xuanlei?!

Xiao Yu was startled.

Chapter Sixty-Five, I'll Break Through

"Land title? Let me see."

Ignoring Xiao Yu's stunned expression, Feng Ling quickly snatched the paper from the black-robed girl's hand and examined it closely.

A pair of bright almond-shaped eyes narrowed as she carefully examined the person from head to toe.

"Hmm... This is indeed the land deed for Xuanlei Mountain, but it's not the Xuanlei Mountain that was successfully challenged by the Five Poisons Sect. It's just a not-so-famous mountain in some other place that I vaguely remember."

Because it is connected to and similar in shape to Mount Xuanlei, it was often mistaken for Mount Xuanlei before Mount Xuanlei was established, and was called Little Mount Xuanlei. It is quite different from the real Mount Xuanlei. However, although its spiritual energy concentration is not as high, its area is not small, and it has a small spiritual vein in its center, making it sufficient as a mountain for establishing a sect.

Soon, Feng Ling, having read the entire article, provided an explanation.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu felt a little relieved. To be honest, when the girl in black robes took out the land deed called Suspended Thunder Mountain...

His mouth almost dropped in astonishment. Although Xuanlei Mountain wasn't as top-tier as Qingyun Fuzong, it was still one of the top-ranking second-rate sects. For the black-robed girl to bring it out so casually was truly surreal.

Feng Ling returned the land deed to the girl in black robes and nodded with some satisfaction. "Now condition two is met. To be honest, I was startled at first. I thought it really was the land deed for that Suspended Thunder Mountain."

If that's the case, we don't need to bother creating a sect. We can just abolish the sect on Mount Xuanlei. After all, they've already lost their own territory, so what's the point of talking about a sect? But for now, things are pretty good.”

Feng Ling was very satisfied, and Xiao Yu's heart, which had been startled, calmed down. Only the black-robed girl who offered the land deed had a somewhat stiff expression.

She received the land deed from Feng Ling, which was nominally for Xuanlei Mountain but actually for another mountain, and her body went blank.

There's an awkward situation where you show off something to your peers, only to have someone knowledgeable immediately recognize it as a fake.

She gripped the land deed tightly in her hand, her face expressionless, but a hint of resentment rose within her.

Those despicable bastards from Xuanlei Mountain actually played word games with her, using a mountain with the same name to fob her off.

No wonder this land deed was openly displayed on the table in the old woman's room when she escaped from the forbidden area. It turns out that the old woman knew all along that this was not the real Xuanlei Mountain, but a mountain with the same name.

Since this was a spoil of war she had won after defeating Xuanlei Mountain, the girl who had sneaked out took the land deed and stuffed it into her bosom as if it were a seal to show off her achievements.

She thought that once she got out, she could show this off and lay the foundation for her fame.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a fake. Thinking of this, the girl in the black robe tightened her grip on the land deed.

Mount Xuanlei, right?

She remembered.

Unexpectedly, her first victory after her debut, which seemed glamorous on the surface, was actually quite disastrous.

She remembered that Xuanlei Mountain had also participated in the Phoenix Hill Secret Realm. The leader was not Xuanlei Mountain's senior brother, but an unknown disciple from Qiqi Sect. It was said that he was not even a true disciple, but just a menial disciple in charge of cleaning the Thunder Pool.

Ha! The Xuanlei Sect really has no one left.

That makes sense. Senior Brother was poisoned by her Five Elements Poison, and he won't be able to get out of bed for at least half a year. However, thinking about it carefully, that handyman disciple is probably not a simple character either.

After all, it represents the face of Xuanlei Mountain. Xuanlei Mountain is considered a top-tier sect among second-rate sects. It's impossible for them to be so foolish as to send a menial disciple to participate in the secret realm.

There's definitely something fishy going on here, but no matter what, she's determined to get Xuanlei Mountain into trouble this time. If they dare to make her look so foolish, then whatever rare treasures Xuanlei Mountain manages to bring out of the secret realm, she, Ziyun, will have to say it backwards from now on.

The girl in the black robe was lost in thought, but outwardly, concealed by the black robe, she showed nothing.

However, Xiao Yu glanced at her hand, which was gripping the land deed even tighter, and could roughly guess the black-robed girl's mood.

As for the reputation of the Xuanlei Mountain sect, it wasn't quite as infamous as the Thieves' Sect, which was universally hated, but it still had some blemishes, which didn't give Xiao Yu a good impression.

However, such wordplay is considered normal practice within righteous sects.

Although he didn't know the details of the Five Poisons Sect's challenge to Xuanlei Mountain, Xiao Yu was quite clear about the sect's bottom line. Even if he had to swallow his pride and bear a lot of infamy, he would never hand over the fundamental land deed of the sect.

The Five Poisons Sect, which came to challenge the sect, knew perfectly well that they were willing to take advantage of others and risk a bad reputation, but if their fundamental interests were violated, they would turn against the sect without regard for the unspoken rules and bottom lines among righteous sects.

Although the Five Poisons Sect is a demonic sect, it still has a clear grasp of the rules, and only a novice like the girl in black robes would take it seriously.

The biggest difference between the so-called righteous path and the demonic path is that the former follows a set of rules on the surface and presents itself in a glamorous light, but in essence, they are not much different.

Now that things have come to this point, the identity of the girl in the black robe is becoming increasingly clear.

The newly appointed Holy Maiden of the Five Poisons Sect, who was once at the height of her fame, is now rumored to have been imprisoned.

Judging from the looks of it, it probably sneaked out of the restricted area where it was kept in solitary confinement.

It is worth mentioning that the Five Poisons Sect did not participate in this Fengqiu Secret Realm event.

Is someone who doesn't like wearing clothes and goes streaking a pervert?

Xiao Yu's lips twitched; he felt that Brother Fan would get along very well with her.

Meanwhile, the baseball fist technique he threw in the corner of the warehouse was practically tailor-made for her. Unfortunately, the girl in black robes was a Qi cultivator, not a martial artist.

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu recalled the time more than a month ago when his clothes were torn off in the Xuanling Sect prison and he was surrounded by onlookers.

In some ways, his reputation is now on par with, or even surpasses, that of the Five Poisons Sect's Holy Maiden.

Depend on!

If only I had learned the Vajra Indestructible Body Technique back then, I wouldn't have ended up like this.

Now he can't learn it even if he wants to, because... he has already stepped onto the ladder of adulthood.

Indeed, some things you only start to miss after you lose them.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu felt a dull ache in his kidneys again. He stopped thinking about it and looked at Feng Ling:
