The Qingyun Sect members ignored them completely and pursued even more closely.

One disciple, panting, shouted, "This road isn't yours! Why can't we walk on it?"

Another chimed in, "Exactly! Do you own this secret realm?"

The female cultivator retorted defiantly, "Sword Sect, aren't you supposed to be very strong? Why are you running so fast?"

Su Ning laughed angrily: "Even if I could fight, I wouldn't use myself as a shield for you!"

Yan Chuan was furious: "Where's your senior brother? Let him come out and take the blame!"

The Qingyun Sect disciple's expression stiffened slightly: "Our senior brother... has already gone to stop the other one."

Yan Chuan nearly stumbled: "You've offended two more?"

Murong Zhuo choked for a moment: "...A talent."

Gu Chenguang ran while flipping through his notebook, his voice trembling: "Crimson Flame Flying Python, a mid-level peak demonic beast, lives in groups, is fiercely protective of its cubs, and is extremely vengeful. Provoking one is like provoking a whole litter."

I looked at Shangguan Haitang, who was being protected in the middle.

A hint of guilt flashed across her face.

I understand.

This little girl has gotten into trouble again.

---------

The giant python roared to the sky.

The sound was so loud it made my ears ring.

Then, something even more terrible happened.

A rustling sound came from deep within the forest.

A dense swarm of giant pythons appeared.

Big, small, thick, even thicker.

Red, blue, floral, even more floral.

Crawling on the ground, hanging in the trees, burrowing in the grass~

They came from all directions.

They are blocking our way.

The senior students were forced to stop.

The people from Qingyun Sect also stopped.

My senior classmates protected me and kept me inside.

The people of Qingyun Sect protected Shangguan Haitang.

The python quickly caught up and, along with the other snakes, surrounded us.

The largest one in the lead, the one that had chased after us, coiled up and looked down at us from its high position.

The snake flicks its tongue.

His bloodshot eyes were filled with rage.

It stared at the people of Qingyun Sect.

They were staring at me too.

But when it stared at me, it paused for a moment.

That overwhelming killing intent seemed to have subsided a little.

I blinked.

It blinked too.

The scene was a bit awkward.

I had no choice but to speak first: "Um... my fellow disciples and I were just passing by. Could you let us go first?"

A disciple of the Qingyun Sect scoffed, "Don't waste your energy, this snake beast has already lost its mind."

Another disciple said, "Exactly! Do you think you're a disciple of the Spirit Control Sect? Do you think snake beasts will listen to you?"

The female cultivator said, "There's only one way now: we must work together..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

Because the giant python nodded at me.

Then a small path was cleared.

The Qingyun Sect members: "..."

The senior students: "..."

I glanced back at them.

The Qingyun Sect disciples looked as if they had swallowed three pounds of bitter herbs.

The female cultivator's mouth was still open; she had forgotten to close it.

I pulled my fellow students along, ready to leave.

A sharp shout came from behind: "Stop right there!"

It was Shangguan Haitang's voice.

I turned around.

She glared at me, her face flushed red: "You can't leave!"

I blinked: "Why?"

She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

But his eyes showed both anger and anxiety.

Her senior classmates were also looking at me with complicated expressions.

There was shock.

There is something I don't understand.

Is there still a sliver of... hope?

I understood: "You want me to save you?"

The people of Qingyun Sect looked at the giant python in front of them, and then at the dense swarm of snakes around them.

Their senior brother is not here.

Although they were several Golden Core cultivators, they had to protect a junior sister who was only at the Qi Refining stage.

If we just leave like this...

Their battle must have been fierce.

The female cultivator bit her lip and forced a smile: "Little sister, can you help us make peace with it?"

I tilted my head to look at her.

Her smile became even more strained.

I held up one finger: "One hundred high-grade spirit stones each, and I can talk to it for you."

The people from the Qingyun Sect were shocked: "What?!"

Another disciple angrily retorted, "You're taking advantage of our misfortune!"

I nodded: "Yeah, taking advantage of someone's misfortune."

The members of the Qingyun Sect: "..."

I counted on my fingers: "You guys were trying to shift the blame and make us the scapegoats. Now I'm just charging you a small fee for your mental exhaustion, running around, negotiating, and making a friendly appearance... It's a bargain."

The people from Qingyun Sect turned green with rage.

The female cultivator tried to bargain: "But there are so many of us, a hundred each, that would be so much..."

I withdrew my finger: "Oh, never mind then. Senior brother, let's go."

I turned to leave.

"etc!"

The female cultivator gritted her teeth and exchanged a glance with the others.

They huddled together and whispered a few words.

Then he took out a storage bag and tossed it over.

Gu Chenguang caught it with trembling hands.

I opened it and took a look.

My hands started shaking even more.

The voices were all echoing: "We're going to get rich..."

A whopping 600 high-grade spirit stones!

He held the storage bag tightly to his chest, his eyes filled with the same reverence he would have for a sword manual.

I patted his hand: "Sixth Senior Brother, calm down."

Then I walked toward the giant python.

My senior classmates tried to stop me.

I stopped: "It's okay."

But they were still uneasy and followed closely behind, ready to make a move at any moment.

I stopped in front of the giant snake's head.

Upon closer inspection, the snake appears even larger.

Its head was bigger than mine, its scales were like red-hot iron plates, and its eyes were like two lanterns.

It looked down at me.

I looked up at it.

My neck is so sore.

"Could you lower it a little?" I asked.

The giant python lowered its massive head and looked me straight in the eye.

I nodded in satisfaction: "Why are you so angry?"

The giant python clearly understood human speech.

It flicked its tongue and hissed.

I couldn't understand the specific content.

But I had a pretty good idea.

It hissed and pointed its tail at the people of Qingyun Sect, its eyes blazing with fire.

I turned around and shouted to the people from Qingyun Sect, "You took their things, give them back!"

The people from Qingyun Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.

hesitate.

I added, "If you don't return it, I'm leaving."

The female cultivator gritted her teeth and looked at Shangguan Haitang.

Shangguan Haitang bit her lip and remained motionless for a long time.

Her senior classmates were getting anxious.

"Junior Sister!"

"Give it back to them immediately!"

"Life is at stake!"

Shangguan Haitang glared at me hatefully and took out three fiery red spiritual fruits from her storage bag.

As soon as the spiritual fruit was taken out, the temperature around it rose by several degrees.

Suning gasped, "Good heavens!"

Yan Chuan's eyes widened: "Crimson Fruit!"

Murong Zhuo suddenly realized, "No wonder they chased after me..."

Gu Chenguang opened the notebook, his hands still trembling: "Crimson Fruit, a fire-type rare treasure, blooms every five hundred years and bears fruit every five hundred years... People have guarded it for five hundred years..."

The people from Qingyun Sect looked embarrassed.

Shangguan Haitang placed the fruit on the ground.

The python used its tail to coil around it and placed it beside itself.

But it still didn't leave.

It hissed a few more times.

I looked at the people from Qingyun Sect: "Anything else?"

The Qingyun Sect members shook their heads: "No more! We only picked the Crimson Fruit!"

I looked at Shangguan Haitang.

Her eyes darted away.

I stared at her.

I stared at her: "Did you steal someone else's eggs too?"

Shangguan Haitang's expression changed.

Her senior classmates were also stunned.

"Junior Sister?"

"—You also took the egg?"

"Hurry up and take it out."

Stealing fruit is one thing.

Stealing eggs is another matter.

That's like stealing someone's child!

Shangguan Haitang bit her lip and it took her a while to take an egg out of her storage bag.

The egg was bright red, as big as a watermelon, and covered with dark gold stripes.

The python's eyes turned red the moment it saw the egg.

It carefully curled its eggs with its tail.

I held it close to my side, and tears almost welled up in my eyes.

I sighed and patted its tail, but I could only pat the tip.

"The fruit has been returned, and the eggs have been returned. You've already taught them a lesson. Please give me some face today and let's just let this matter go."

The giant python looked at me.

Then I looked at my own egg.

Finally, he nodded.

The snakes parted to make way.

The people of Qingyun Sect felt as if they had been granted a pardon and fled without looking back.

They run incredibly fast.

Shangguan Haitang ran a few steps, then turned back and glared at me.

I waved to her: "Remember to bring more spirit stones next time!"

Her face turned redder.

They ran even faster.
