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

Chu Zhi had just joined the sect and was selected for this trial for some unknown reason. Because of her low cultivation level, she was easier to control.

She trembled with disgust at the insects, wanting to open her mouth to beg for help or even curse them.

But as soon as you open your mouth, a constant stream of insects will fly into it.

Those few things making a gurgling sound are an example; they're sticking out their tongues and spitting out bugs.

Chu Zhi could only glare fiercely at these unruly people in front of her.

Lu Qingyan sized up the Golden Core cultivators.

He grabbed Yang Fei: "Stop for a moment, they look like they're about to suffocate."

Yang Fei then summoned back the insects, which swarmed together to form a shadow.

They returned from various parts of their bodies, then scattered and disappeared without a trace.

The dozen or so Golden Core cultivators were still unable to move, behaving as obediently as quails, panting heavily.

Song Yishi estimated the time: "The immobilization talisman will be removed soon."

Duan Huailin walked over carrying some miscellaneous items.

"Don't worry."

He approached the group and, estimating their location, sprinkled some liquid around their feet.

The Golden Core cultivators were able to speak, though their speech was somewhat slurred, and tears streamed down their faces.

"Young friend... what are you up to now? Give a Golden Core cultivator some respect, will you?"

Duan Huailin ignored him, clapped his hands after completing the formation, and remained calm.

"Just a small formation to trap its body."

The cultivators wept, "...Waaah, there shouldn't be any aftereffects from crying, right?"

Duan Huailin smiled modestly: "...I'm not very skilled. If you like, I can learn more and add it in."

The cultivators shook their heads, tears streaming down their faces, "...No need for that, thank you so much!"

After the immobilization talisman expired, the formation took effect again.

The group was once again firmly trapped within the formation.

Ning Yue stepped forward with a clear smile, passed through the formation, and looked directly at Chu Zhi.

Xiao Hua perched on Ning Yue's shoulder, looking at Chu Zhi with dissatisfaction.

Ning Yue held out his hand to Chu Zhi: "Give it to me."

Chu Zhi forced herself to remain calm, looking at Ning Yue with a mixture of wariness and fear: "What did you give you?"

Ning Yue chuckled: "So young and already suffering from dementia?"

"You shot me, and the Azure Lotus you stole is on you now."

Chu Zhi looked at the little girl who was a head shorter than her.

The frustration of being constantly suppressed and the jealousy of so many people protecting Ning Yue surged up at the same time.

She glared at Ning Yue and said retaliatoryly.

"So what if the Azure Lotus is on me? I took it by my own hand. On the contrary, it's you..."

"—Isn't it just because he's a senior brother or sister that he's so arrogant?"

"You didn't even obtain the Azure Lotus yourself. If you're so capable, take it from me!"

Ning Yue paused for a moment, then smiled even more broadly.

It seems they didn't see how they melted into ice in a second.

I don't know whether to call her smart or stupid.

They knew how to seize the Azure Lotus when the opportunity arose, but they didn't know how to prepare a backup plan.

"I don't know whether to call you arrogant or ignorant..." Ning Yue said lazily.

"Your supposedly powerful late-stage Golden Core cultivators are nothing but a bunch of good-for-nothings. They were completely outmatched by my senior brothers and sisters."

And the me you described who was arrogant because of my senior brothers and sisters—"

Ning Yue slowly condensed a fireball in his hand, and the fireball grew larger and larger in Chu Zhi's horrified gaze.

"—That's the person you should really fear."

The blazing fireball came very close to Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi started sweating profusely, not from the heat, but from fear.

The senior brothers and sisters all stopped what they were doing and began to admire their junior sister.

To scare Chu Zhi, Ning Yue conjured a fireball that was even more powerful than the one he had used when melting the ice earlier.

Bright light illuminated the entire cave!

Everyone instinctively closed their eyes; it was too bright to look directly at!

Chu Zhi breathed rapidly, her fingers twisting her clothes tightly as she tried her best to open her eyes.

"How...how is this possible! Didn't you just join the sect this year like me? How...how can your strength be so terrifying!"

Ning Yue supported Chu Zhi's body, which was about to collapse.

"Young lady, you're out of the loop! Haven't you heard that the Fusang Sect has a powerful disciple this year?"

Chu Zhi opened her mouth blankly, but couldn't say anything.

She knew this, of course, but the Fusang Sect deliberately remained vague and did not elaborate.

I only know that they are very powerful, but I don't know exactly how powerful they are.

She thought the Fusang Sect was exaggerating, and that such a precious disciple should be protected.

How did it end up in the secret realm so suddenly! And she just happened to offend her!

Ning Yue took a moment to react.

"Oh dear, Master told me to hide my abilities, what should I do? I've been exposed, I might as well just shut them up..."

Chu Zhi had no doubt that with the power of that flame, it could burn her to ashes in less than a second!

"No, no!! You can't kill me! I'm of great use to the Purgatory Sect. If you kill me, the Purgatory Sect will use every means to kill you—!"

Ning Yue looked at Chu Zhi with a calm and composed expression.

"What great use are you? Tell me and make me happy, and I'll spare your life."

Chu Zhi opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth—

The next moment, however, he clutched his throat and coughed violently!

Blood was coughing up from her mouth, and it showed no signs of stopping.

Chu Zhi covered her throat tightly with both hands, looking like she was about to suffocate.

Ning Yue frowned. What's going on?

Song Yishi's voice sounded from behind: "...A hidden spell?"

Ning Yue turned her head and asked, "What happened to her, Senior Sister?"

Song Yishi's listless expression finally brightened, and he looked at Chu Zhi, channeling some spiritual energy into her.

"She was cursed with a secret word spell, which prevents her from uttering certain things; if she does, she will suffocate and die."

Ning Yue clicked his tongue in amazement: "What a poisonous talisman."

"...Yes, this is a forbidden technique, explicitly stated that it cannot be used on humans."

Song Yishi lowered her eyes. "I saw it in my master's library."

"The Purgatory Sect must be preparing something shady again." Yang Fei frowned, his expression one of disgust.

Ning Yue didn't press further.

Looking at Chu Zhi with pity, he said, "Hand over the Azure Lotus, and I'll let you go."

Chu Zhi's expression carried a hint of desperate resolve.

"The Azure Lotus is very important to you, isn't it? I heard you need to take it immediately to prevent any accidents."

Her eyes held a vengeful pleasure.

"At worst, burn me to ashes, otherwise don't even think about taking the Azure Lotus from me!"

Ning Yue sighed and extinguished the fireball in his hand.

"You don't want a dignified approach, so you insist on being searched?"

Ning Yue turned around and shouted, "Senior brothers and sisters, please throw those Golden Core uncles out."

I had a private talk with Miss Chu Zhi.

The group readily agreed, and were not worried that Chu Zhi would cause any harm to Ning Yue.

LOL, who would still think Ning Yue is weak and powerless after seeing her terrifying strength!

The group led the few incompetent old men out of the cave.

As soon as they came into contact with the light outside, the Golden Core cultivators became restless, as if they wanted to make some more noise.

Shi Yinghan stared ahead, his longsword half-drawn, gleaming coldly in the sunlight, as a gust of wind swept by—

The Golden Core cultivators felt a chill beneath them and, looking down, realized they were almost completely naked!

She was only covered by a few strips of cloth, barely enough to cover her shame.

"Aaaaaahh ...

"What happened?! Where are my clothes?! Where are my clothes?!"

Shi Yinghan sheathed his sword and looked at the group.

"—Remember my face, and go out of your way to avoid me if you see me in the future."
