Junior Sister must ascend this time!

When the five set off, the weather was sunny and the elders were in high spirits.

Linxu said to the five people, "Children, come back soon after completing your mission, don't worry us."

After saying that, he wiped away his tears and stood back.

Mingyuan tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "That's enough, it's getting a bit fake."

"Really?" Lin Xu glanced at him. "You should also control your expression and not laugh out loud."

The distance between Muyun City and Chengtian Sect is not far, so Pei Shubai and the others planned to fly there on their swords.

Yun Qing was torn between favoring Wusheng Sword or "Never Mind" Sword; no matter which she chose, she felt like she was cheating on him.

So, in full view of everyone, she threw both swords to her feet, stepped on one sword with each foot, and flew away with a "whoosh".

Si Mingche blinked. "What kind of sword-riding method is this? And..."

"So cool!"

Pei Shubai didn't even bother to say goodbye to the elders; he summoned Jingfeng and rode off on his sword to catch up.

"Junior Sister! Wait for us!"

"Hey! Watch where you're going! Junior sister, don't bump into her...!"

Xuanwei looked at the five streaks of light that flew away, his face showing worry, and he sighed repeatedly.

The sighing sound annoyed Yuehua, who was standing to the side. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "What are you doing? You're just wasting all my good fortune with your sighs."

Xuanwei wasn't annoyed by these words, but just sighed and said, "It's nothing, I'm just worried about our storage bags."

"Prepare some spirit stones in advance and send them to the city lord of Muyun City later."

The personal disciple went on a rampage, and the elder lost his underwear in the process.

The five elders looked in the direction of Muyun City and sighed in unison.

I hope Muyun City is alright.

When the group arrived at Muyun City, the city lord was already there to greet them personally at the city gate.

"You must be disciples from Chengtian Sect? I am the city lord of Muyun City, my surname is Sun. I will tell you about the situation in the city on the way."

The five followed City Lord Sun into the city gate. Contrary to expectations, there were quite a few people on the streets, and they all seemed to have considerable cultivation levels, with only a few at the Qi Refining stage.

Si Mingche couldn't help but ask, "Your Muyun City has quite a few experts, so why are you troubled by evil cultivators?"

City Lord Sun waved his hand and said, "Immortal, you jest. Our Muyun City is just a small city at the border of the cultivation world and the mortal world. Most of our people are at the Foundation Establishment stage. These experts are here to eliminate evil cultivators."

"About a month ago, evil cultivators started appearing in the city one after another. At first, villagers from several villages outside the city went missing, and later similar situations occurred in the suburbs. The patrol teams we sent out all came back saying they had seen a dark figure, but they couldn't catch up with it."

"To protect the city's residents, I have posted a notice that will reward anyone who kills an evil cultivator with one hundred spirit stones."

Upon hearing about spirit stones, Yun Qing perked up. "So we'll get spirit stone rewards for killing evil cultivators too?"

City Lord Sun nodded, "Of course. I personally invited you immortals here, so the rewards will certainly be generous."

"I hereby guarantee that as long as you immortal masters completely eliminate the evil cultivators in my Muyun City, I will present you with the most precious treasures of Muyun City."

What Lord Sun didn't say was that he sent requests for help to all seven major sects, but the personal disciples of each sect couldn't be summoned casually.

The reason they ultimately chose Chengtian Sect was because their elders wanted fewer people; simply put, these five were cheaper.

When the five arrived at the city lord's mansion, it was already close to nightfall. As Yun Qing stepped into the mansion, she was immediately blinded by five round, spherical objects.

"Lord Sun, are the lights in your mansion so bright?"

Lord Sun seemed a little confused. "My manor usually only uses candles and lamps, so how can it be considered bright?"

The five bald men turned their heads in unison, their eyes filled with sadness and regret.

"Senior Brother! I told you we couldn't shave our heads! Now we're being used like lanterns again, waaaaah!!"

"Don't cry, junior brother. I'll make you a wig when we get back."

"Okay then...I want something cool and stylish!"

"Senior brother, please...please..."

Lord Sun then realized what was happening and quickly introduced them: "These are several masters from the Sumeru Sect. They arrived two days earlier than you, also for the matter of the heretical cultivators."

Jiang Mian couldn't help but complain, "Lord Sun has invited quite a few people."

Lord Sun, feeling somewhat guilty, chuckled dryly, "This is just to ensure absolute safety... Many hands make light work. With all the immortals and masters working together, the evil cultivators are naturally no match for us."

Lord Sun explained in a low voice, "The spells of these masters have a clear restraining effect on the techniques of evil cultivators, and if any cultivators in the city die because of evil cultivators, these masters can also help them pass on to the afterlife."

Cen Ning concluded, "Lord Sun is telling us to fight, and they'll be responsible for burying the enemy."

"Well summarized." Yun Qing stroked Cen Ning's hair and said to City Lord Sun, "No wonder you can be the city lord; you really know how to use people."

Lord Sun wiped the sweat from his face and immediately changed the subject, "Nighttime is when evil cultivators are most likely to appear. Why don't you immortals discuss with the master how to proceed?"

"I'll go outside the mansion first to check if there are any residents still lingering there."

With that, he walked over to the five members of the Sumeru Sect, gave them a few instructions, and then left.

Pei Shubai stepped forward first, cupped his hands in greeting to the senior disciple of the Sumeru Sect, and said, "My junior sister just offended you all, and I apologize on her behalf."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Wu Zheng, the senior disciple of the Sumeru Sect, said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? It's already very polite of her not to call us bald monks."

Pei Shubai: ...Why do I feel even more ashamed?

Wu Zheng smiled and introduced himself and his fellow disciples, then looked at Yun Qing.

"You're the junior sister Yun Qing who surrounded and slaughtered the demonic beasts in the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm last time, right?"

"Nice to meet you!"

Yun Qing smiled and waved, "Senior Brother Wuzheng's personality is really different from what I imagined."

All the Buddhist practitioners she had met before were detached from worldly affairs and kept their emotions in check; such a lively one was truly rare.

Wu Zheng scratched his head. "I'm not like those bald monks!"

"You would never guess that I originally wanted to go to Zhenyue Sect."

However, I've never grown hair since I was a child. When I went to the cultivation world's disciple recruitment conference, my master thought it was my sincerity in joining the Sumeru Sect, so he half-coaxed and half-tricked me into joining the Sumeru Sect.

Yun Qing's lips twitched violently. No wonder the Sumeru Sect's style was so bizarre. "So this is your reason for using monk's staffs and wooden fish to beat people up?"

Wu Zheng shrugged. "Is something wrong?"

Yun Qing: …………

The weapon-forging fanatic Cen Ning squeezed forward, blinked, and said to Wu Zheng, "Senior Brother Wu Zheng, may I touch your staff?"

Wu Zheng handed the staff to Cen Ning and said generously, "Touch it as much as you like! Plenty!"

Yun Qing: ...Wouldn't it be a bit too generous?
