Junior Sister must ascend this time!

"spread!"

Pei Shubai shouted, and the five of them scattered in different directions at the same time. The giant tail crashed to the ground, sending rubble flying and creating a deep crater.

The Xuanjia Rock Python did not give up and swept its tail at the five people again, but they jumped away.

Sweep again, jump again...

Jump again, sweep again...

Si Mingche was about to give up. He was a talisman cultivator, not a physical cultivator. His legs were about to break from jumping!

He gasped for breath, "Junior Sister... what do we do now? Just keep jumping rope like this?"

Yun Qing really couldn't think of a solution this time. "Let's keep jumping for now."

On the other side, after finishing his sect affairs over the past few days, Pu Hengzhi went to Yaoguang Peak as usual.

Every day he would go to the place where Liu Fushu lived before his death and sit there. Sometimes he would talk to himself, and sometimes he would stay in the courtyard without saying a word.

When Bai Ze saw him coming again, he didn't even give him a glance and just lay down to rest.

Pu Hengzhi was used to it; his junior sister's divine beast was only close to her.

After sitting in the yard for a while, he got up and went to her room to clean it again. Although he knew she wouldn't be coming back, he just couldn't break the habit.

The moment Pu Hengzhi stepped inside, he realized something was wrong…

Where's the sword?

Where is Junior Sister's sword?

Where is Junior Sister's Lifeless Sword?

After his junior sister passed away, he brought back the Wusheng Sword and placed it by her bedside.

How could she have suddenly disappeared? There were no signs of anyone breaking into her yard.

He quickly took out his communication jade token to contact several elders...

Xuanwei and the others were staring intently at the light screen, wondering if these children could defeat this peak Golden Core demon beast. They were ready to rush in and save the children at any moment.

At this moment, the communication jade tokens on their waists flashed wildly. The four elders glanced down and tacitly chose to... reject the call.

Pu Heng was so angry he almost fainted. He remembered that they should be in the Trial Valley, so he sped up and rushed over.

By the time he arrived, the Xuanjia Rock Python inside the light screen had just broken free of the Xuan Iron Rod and launched a full-force attack on the five of them, unleashing the full power of its peak Golden Core stage.

The five of them were thrown back and crashed into the stone wall. Yun Qing struggled to her feet, summoned "Never mind," and stabbed at the head of the Xuanjia Rock Python, guessing that it was its weak point.

However, the Xuanjia Rock Python was faster, and it used its tail to deflect the sword as she lunged at it.

It let out a loud bang, preparing to be the first to bite and kill this little fish that had tricked it.

Seeing this, the elders outside the light screen were about to rush in when a stream of light flew into Yun Qing's hand and transformed into a sharp sword.

Pu Hengzhi's eyes widened. "The...the Sword of No Life?!"

Mingyuan rubbed his eyes and stammered, "It really is the Sword of No Life. How did it end up in the Trial Valley and even fly into Yun Qing's hands? Back then, apart from Fushu, no one could move it."

Yun Qing recognized the Wusheng Sword as soon as it appeared. It was her old partner, and she hadn't fought alongside it for so long.

She was surprised that it would appear here, but upon reflection, it wasn't so surprising. In the previous two trial grounds, she had vaguely sensed something following her, and it turned out to be her Wusheng Sword.

It was quite an achievement for the sword to overcome so many obstacles to reach her side. Yun Qing smiled and gripped it tightly. The most important thing now was to deal with the Xuanjia Rock Python in front of her.

With the Sword of No Life, Yun Qing's swordplay became even smoother. After continuous probing, she seized the opportunity and leaped onto the head of the Xuanjia Rock Python.

The Xuanjia Rock Python swung its tail, trying to sweep Yun Qing down. Cen Ning, who was standing nearby, immediately reacted, drew out his long whip, and tightly wrapped it around the python's tail, rendering it unable to move.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Qing did not hesitate to plunge the Wusheng Sword straight into the head of the Xuanjia Rock Python, which was the only soft spot on its body.

The Xuanjia Rock Python writhed in pain, nearly throwing Yun Qing away. Pei Shubai and Jiang Mian exchanged a glance and flew forward, each wielding a sword that pierced its two dark green vertical pupils.

Si Mingche looked left and right, but there was no place for him to use his skills. This wouldn't do!

So he activated an explosive talisman and threw it into the Xuanjia Rock Python's gaping mouth, which was wide open in pain.

Yun Qing, Pei Shubai, and Jiang Mian ran away in time. With a loud "bang," the Xuanjia Rock Python collapsed to the ground, its body covered in blood.

The four exchanged glances and simultaneously gave Si Mingche a thumbs up. "That talisman was used brilliantly!"

After a brief rest, the five divided the tasks and put the corpse of the Xuanjia Rock Python into their storage bags. This was a Nascent Soul stage demon beast, and its entire body was a treasure.

Pu Hengzhi and the four elders outside the light screen also breathed a sigh of relief. These children performed much better than they had imagined. There would be a reward for them when they came out, a big reward!

Before long, the barrier of the Trial Valley opened, and the elders rushed forward, rubbing their hands together in anticipation of their disciples' embrace.

However... although their apprentice came out, he floated out.

I'm exhausted. If the trial doesn't end soon, the elders will have to go to the Trial Valley to collect the corpses.

Xuanwei awkwardly withdrew his hand. "You five did a great job. You've worked hard. Go back and get some rest."

The five men, weak and listless, said, "Okay..."

Linxu: "We elders have prepared rewards for you, which will be delivered to your courtyards in a little while."

Five: "Okay..."

Mingyuan: "Are you injured? Let me find some healers to take a look at you."

Five: "No need..."

Yuehua: "It's not suitable for you to fly back on your swords right now. Shall I take you back?"

The five of them looked up, then nodded in unison, "Okay..."

He then followed Yuehua, preparing to return to Qingyun Peak with her.

As Yun Qing passed by Pu Hengzhi, she saw him looking hesitant to speak, so she stopped. "Sect Leader, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, you can go back now."

Pu Hengzhi suppressed his doubts; they were too tired, and the matter of the Lifeless Sword wasn't urgent.

"You're all on holiday for the next few days. You don't need to take on any missions. Just stay at Qingyun Peak and rest."

After the five returned, they all slept for a day and a night, and their cultivation levels fluctuated after they woke up.

Apart from Pei Shubai, the cultivation levels of the other four people all increased by one minor realm.

After reaching the Golden Core stage, it is not an easy task to cross a small realm, so Pei Shubai was not in a hurry and treated it as a way to consolidate his cultivation.

After Yun Qing finished meditating, she caught a glimpse of the Wusheng Sword placed beside the bed, and only then did she realize why her sect leader had acted that way.

From his perspective, it was as if his deceased junior sister's natal magic weapon had suddenly recognized someone else as its master. Who wouldn't have some doubts about that?

Thinking of this, Yun Qing grabbed the Wusheng Sword and headed towards Tian Shu Peak.

When she found Pu Hengzhi, he was standing with his back to her under the peach tree in his courtyard, lost in thought.

Yun Qing spoke softly, "Sect Leader, Master."
