Junior Sister must ascend this time!

When Jiang Mian arrived at Yun Qing's room, Pei Shubai and the others were there, except for Yan Li.

He pushed open the door and saw that Yun Qing was in good condition except for temporarily lacking strength, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Shubai breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him. "You passed the test of the ancestral land?"

Jiang Mian nodded. "Yes, it passed. We also received the blessing of the ancestral land."

Si Mingche put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Not bad, Fourth Junior Brother! Although your comprehension is only slightly less than mine, Third Senior Brother, it's still quite impressive."

"From now on, you'll be the king of the Phantom Spirit Clan. Does that mean we can do whatever we want with them?"

Jiang Mian pushed his hand away expressionlessly. "You can try, but I won't care if you get thrown out."

Pei Shubai poured Yun Qing a cup of tea and said slowly, "Third Junior Brother, watch your step. Fourth Junior Brother's status is different now; be careful he doesn't put you on the Illusionary Spirit Clan's blacklist."

Si Mingche sat down, fanning himself with his fan. "Fourth Junior Brother would never treat me like that."

He blinked at Jiang Mian, "Right? Fourth Junior Brother?"

Jiang Mian couldn't bear to look at him and turned her head away. "No, I will definitely add you to the list."

Si Mingche bristled and looked at Pei Shubai, "Senior Brother, he's turned bad since he became king!"

Pei Shubai shrugged. "He's always been bad, it just wasn't obvious before."

"How dare you talk to Xiao Jiangmian like that!" A familiar voice rang out from outside the door.

"Jiang Mian is now the king of the Illusionary Spirit Clan, not just your junior brother. You cannot make fun of him like this."

Si Mingche rubbed his eyes, looking incredulous. "Sect Leader...?"

He nudged Pei Shubai, "Am I seeing things? I think I saw the sect leader..."

Pei Shubai jumped up from his chair immediately. "You didn't see wrong, because I saw it too..."

Cen Ning, who had been watching the scene unfold, also came closer and carefully examined the newcomer. "Doesn't seem fake? But why would the sect leader suddenly come to the Illusionary Spirit Clan?"

Pu Hengzhi looked at the three of them, "Since you know it's me, why don't you bow?"

"You've only been in the Illusionary Spirit Clan for a short time, and you've already forgotten all the basic etiquette your master taught you?"

Although the three were puzzled, they still obediently cupped their hands and bowed to Pu Hengzhi.

Only Yun Qing remained motionless, leaning against the bedside. She looked at Jiang Mian, who was also motionless, and chuckled, "Fourth Senior Brother's illusions are getting more and more realistic."

"Wh...what?"

The three looked up in confusion, but Pu Hengzhi was nowhere to be seen. Only then did they realize they had been tricked.

Pei Shubai punched Jiang Mian without hesitation, knocking him to the ground. "Well, it seems Fourth Junior Brother's been itching for a beating lately. Senior Brother will give you a good spanking today!"

Si Mingche kicked Jiang Mian, yelling, "Jiang Mian!!! How dare you play me for a fool! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Cen Ning rummaged through his storage bag and pulled out all sorts of magical artifacts: swords, forks, halberds, hammers, hidden weapons… Finally, he chose a large cleaver, and with a loud shout,

"Get out of the way! Let me do it!"

Jiang Mian felt threatened with death and lay on the ground begging for mercy, "I was wrong, Senior Sister, I really won't do it again!"

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!"

"Senior sister, spare her life!!"

Yun Qing looked at the group with a relaxed expression, a slight smile playing on her lips. Her fourth senior brother had indeed gained a lot from this trip to the ancestral land.

Previously, he could only create illusions for a specific person, but now he can create illusions for multiple people at once, and they are so realistic that they are indistinguishable from reality.

If she hadn't known the sect leader's personality well enough, she too would have been deceived by her fourth senior brother.

Yun Qing drank the tea Pei Shubai had poured for her, and as the three were about to let Jiang Mian go, she quietly said, "Senior brothers and sisters, your strength can't be like this, can it? Put in a little more effort!"

Pei Shubai, Cen Ning, and Si Mingche: "Okay!"

Jiang Mian: "Junior Sister...you're so cruel!"

When Yan Li pushed open the door, everything went black, and she silently withdrew her foot that had been stuck inside.

This must be an illusion; these must not be his direct disciples from the Chengtian Sect.

He pushed the door open again to try to refresh the page, only to find that the five people were still the same dead bodies.

Several people fell to the ground and fought each other, their clothes disheveled and their hair pulled in all directions.

His dark-faced disciple was weak and listless before he left, but now he's taking down his senior brothers with a single punch.

Pei Shubai chuckled strangely, "After beating up Si Mingche, I'll beat up Jiang Mian. Neither of them will escape."

Cen Ning let out a "howl" and pounced into the fierce battle.

Yan Li was exhausted. He used to think that Pu Hengzhi, Liu Fushu and the other fellow disciples were already crazy, but now it seemed that these little brats were the craziest.

"Keep fighting, hit harder, and the Phantom Spirit Clan will change hands again."

"How about I blast the four of you into the sky to cheer on the Phantom Spirit Clan?"

He picked up Yun Qing and the other three, flicked each of them on the head, and threw them aside.

Finally, Yan Li used a process of elimination to identify the pig-headed figure lying on the ground as Jiang Mian. His lips twitched. "He cut off your money, and you treat him like this?"

After learning about Jiang Mian's outrageous actions, Yan Li fell silent again. "Serves her right!"

While treating the five people's injuries, Yan Li said, "We'll be returning to Chengtian Sect in three days, so you all need to behave yourselves for the next few days, understand?"

"I understand!"

The five of them had bright eyes; they hadn't been home in a long time and missed it.

Yan Li looked at Jiang Mian, "What about you? Are you planning to stay, or...?"

Jiang Mian replied without hesitation, "I want to return to Chengtian Sect."

"Elder Meng is more familiar with the affairs of the Phantom Spirit Clan than I am, so it would be better for him to handle the daily matters."

"It's good that you've thought it through."

Yan Li didn't ask any further questions. This was a matter for him to decide. "Take care of things these next few days, and then we'll go back together."

As he spoke, he stood up, but stopped abruptly at the door. He gestured with his finger across the five men. "Remember! Don't cause trouble!"

"Otherwise, I'll string you all together like candied hawthorns!"

For the next three days, apart from Jiang Mian who went to handle some business, the other four were unusually quiet.

There was no demolition of houses, no fighting, and no one adding anything to anyone else's tea.

Before boarding the flying boat, Yun Qing nudged Jiang Mian's arm, "Is everything really resolved? Elder Meng is willing to let you return to Chengtian Sect?"

Jiang Mian was about to nod when he saw Elder Meng rushing towards them, followed by the three Shi brothers.

Si Mingche leaned on Pei Shubai's shoulder and said to Jiang Mian, "They're not here to arrest you, are they?"

Elder Meng immediately hugged Jiang Mian's leg, "Your Majesty... you must come back to see us more often~"

After exchanging glances, Shi Yan and the other two hugged Jiang Mian's other leg and both arms. "Your Majesty! We will manage the Illusionary Spirit Clan together with Elder Meng, but you mustn't forget about us!"

Jiang Mian looked down at the people covered in clothes and said helplessly, "Get up now! Now that I've become your king, I won't abandon you."

"I'll go earn resources for you. The Phantom Spirit Clan can't just sit around and do nothing, can they?"
