After transmigrating into the body of a junior sister of a celestial sect, the cultivation world wen

The surrounding air suddenly turned cold.

Whether it was that disciple of the Purgatory Sect or the few teenagers who had just been talking, they all shivered involuntarily.

The shopkeeper strode out with a livid face, his gaze fixed on the disciple of the Purgatory Sect.

"The Tongyue Inn forbids private duels. Does Young Master Yuan disregard these rules?"

Ning Yue felt like it had been a lifetime since she last heard those words, and at first glance, she felt quite nostalgic.

It feels like the innkeeper of Tongyue Inn is an NPC, because he always says this line every time he appears.

Yuan Qi scoffed indifferently, "If you say another word, I'll have my uncle tear this shabby inn down!"

The shopkeeper's face grew even colder, and his breathing became heavier.

Ning Yue thought to himself that this kid was pretty fierce.

The shopkeeper may not be a threat, but the master behind the shopkeeper is not.

To be able to open an inn of such scale in the Upper Realm shows that they are not ordinary and should not be easily offended.

Ning Yue asked calmly, "Who is his uncle?"

The shopkeeper composed himself and replied, "Qi Bei, the sect leader of the Purgatory Sect."

As soon as he finished speaking, a collective gasp of cold air suddenly rang out.

It was made by the group of teenagers behind Ning Yue, who probably didn't expect the other party to be Qi Bei's nephew.

I was quite shocked.

Thinking back to my discussion earlier, I felt a little apprehensive.

Ning Yue sneered inwardly.

Whether you're a nephew or a grandson, Qi Bei doesn't even care about his own son, so what's your nephew worth?

Ning Yue looked at the group of teenagers behind him and asked, "Where are your sect's elders? Didn't they come along?"

The boys were trembling with fear. They saw that Ning Yue was only sixteen or seventeen years old, about the same age as them, but they felt a sense of security and calmness.

He answered shakily, "They haven't arrived yet, we came to check first."

Being able to afford to stay at the Tongyue Inn indicates that they are definitely not from a small sect, but being so afraid of Yuan Qi doesn't seem like they belong to a major sect either.

They are probably disciples of a medium-sized sect.

Seeing that they ignored him and started chatting, Yuan Qi felt a surge of anger.

Another sharp sword light flashed, this time heading straight for Ning Yue's face.

Ning Yue chuckled lightly, not even lifting his eyelids, looking extremely relaxed, and spoke to them like an elder.

"That won't do. Look at us now, being bullied and having no one to stand up for us, how pathetic."

Ning Yue's act of being a caring elder immediately moved the group.

Absolutely! It's really unpleasant to suffer such a serious injury and have no one to support you!

Yuan Qi looked at Ning Yue with a sinister gaze—

She still acted completely indifferent!

He was angry inside, but he watched with glee as the sword light was about to slice through Ning Yue's cheek.

A barrier, even more formidable than the sword light, appeared out of thin air and blocked the attack.

The shopkeeper took two steps forward, his face grim: "Didn't Young Master Yuan hear what I said?"

This block only fueled Yuan Qi's anger: "Who do you think you are?! How dare you stop me?!"

He probably doesn't have a clear understanding of his own capabilities.

Ning Yue crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and smiled.

That smile was extremely sarcastic, which immediately angered Yuan Qi again.

His aura erupted, and the sword light intensified. Dozens of sword lights suddenly appeared beside him, poised to strike with overwhelming force.

The shopkeeper's face was beyond ashen.

This is truly the first person I've encountered in all the time I've been running this shop who ignored all my advice.

They're like a newborn calf that's not afraid of a tiger.

But this person is, after all, the nephew of the Purgatory Sect Master. So he's not afraid of him, but he can't really do anything to him either.

The boys behind him were so frightened that they froze on the spot, too scared to move.

They seemed surprised that Yuan Qi possessed such strength, and disregarded the shopkeeper's advice. Did he intend to kill them all today?!

A fair hand suddenly reached out and pushed the shopkeeper aside.

The shopkeeper was taken aback and looked at the owner of the hand—

"Guest...?" he asked, bewildered.

"Perfect, it's inconvenient for the shopkeeper to make a move..."

Ning Yue wore an innocent smile, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Yuan Qi.

"Let me play with you, you little thing."

Yuan Qi was stunned for a moment, not realizing who the little thing she was referring to was.

After a long pause, she gritted her teeth and looked at Ning Yue: "What did you say?"

Ning Yue remained expressionless and said, word by word, "I'll deal with you, you little thing."

Another gasp rang out, and Ning Yue suspected that the boys behind him were about to faint.

A shadow crossed Yuan Qi's eyes, and his aura as a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator surged outwards without restraint.

Several tables and chairs in the lobby could not withstand the pressure and immediately shattered into pieces, with sharp wood chips piercing the wall.

Mid-stage Golden Core?

Ning Yue raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, this person possessed quite the audacity to be arrogant. She lowered her gaze again and carefully examined him.

Sure enough, a faint wisp of demonic energy emanated from Yuan Qi.

It seems that this was also due to his self-sacrifice to feed the demon.

The teenagers behind Ning Yue were at a loss, completely unsure of what to do.

Now I only blame myself for being too talkative and saying those gossipy things.

One of them stepped forward and grabbed Ning Yue's clothes, saying apologetically.

"This shouldn't have involved you, young lady. Please go upstairs and leave for a while while we handle this."

It seems they don't want others to bear the consequences of their own mistakes.

Ning Yue looked the boys over one by one. Although he couldn't hide his fear, he genuinely wanted her to stay away.

It's just a bit of gossip, but the people are still good, and what they're saying isn't even the truth.

Qi Bei is definitely hiding something!

That's why I dare not mention the Fusang sect.

Ning Yue casually glanced at Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi was the first to scoff coldly: "Temporarily avoid it? Do you think she can avoid it after saying those things to me?"

"Get out of my way, you nuisance!"

His spiritual energy suddenly exploded, and a sharp sword light carrying a strong attack rushed towards the boys.

They hadn't even realized it yet—

The sword light suddenly froze in mid-air, and Ren Yuanqi, with veins bulging on his forehead, could not advance an inch.

The shopkeeper looked at Ning Yue with deep astonishment.

This girl actually withstood an attack from a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator so easily, which shows that his initial judgment was correct.

—She is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

The teenagers behind him also showed expressions of disbelief.

They had intended to try and tough it out with all their might, but it turned out they didn't even need to lift a finger...

The seemingly frail girl easily withstood the blow.

Moreover, it didn't require much effort; it looked light and casual.

Even Yuan Qi was shocked, looking at his hands in disbelief.

I wonder if I unknowingly let them pass.

"Stop thinking about it..." Ning Yue could tell what he was thinking at a glance and interrupted him very rudely.

It released the pressure of a peak Golden Core cultivator.

Even if it was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage, it was enough to leave everyone present stunned in the hall.

It felt as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on him, instantly suppressing all of Yuan Qi's aura.

Ning Yue raised his chin and looked at Yuan Qi casually, a dark light flashing in his eyes.

"Who are you calling a nuisance?"
