My little sect, which disappeared a thousand years ago, has become a sacred site!

Gu Xing'er stood in the center of the crowd, her expression calm and without the slightest panic. Taking advantage of the gap when the Rifttooth Monkeys were still gathering and had not yet launched their final attack, she suddenly disappeared into the void, her body radiating a faint starlight.

Behind several stone goblins standing at the highest point of the ruins, a faint phantom of a starry sky simultaneously lit up.

The phantom image of the starry sky flashed by and disappeared.

Gu Xing'er swept past, her speed so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch her.

The "Falling Star" dagger in her hand drew purple arcs in the void, silent yet extremely deadly.

Swish. Swish. Swish.

Before the carnivorous monkeys could even scream, their heads and bodies were severed instantly, and they died on the spot. Their blood splattered on the broken floor tiles, emitting a pungent, bloody smell.

Blood was drawn instantly.

The monkey troop instantly erupted into chaos.

The stone goblins, who were originally waiting for orders, suddenly had a violent killing intent in their eyes when they saw their companions being killed.

They let out sharp roars, using all four limbs to pounce down from the ruins and charge towards the group below.

Just then, a deafening roar came from behind the monkey troop.

The sound was rough and violent, carrying a natural sense of oppression, instantly drowning out all the roars of the stone apes.

Upon hearing the roar, the monkeys paused in unison, then charged even more fiercely.

The Monkey King gave the order.

A huge stone ape leaped out from the depths of the ruins and landed on the tallest broken pillar.

It is more than three times the size of a common stone goby, with bulging muscles all over its body and dark black skin.

Its eyes were not crimson, but dark gold, with pupils as straight as needles, exuding a chilling indifference and violence.

The early stage of refining the void.

Gu Xing'er's gaze locked onto the monkey king, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

I was just worried about not being able to find you.

The Monkey King's cultivation level was comparable to that of the demon beast that had been killed before, but compared to the sleeping demon beast, the still active Monkey King was clearly more vigilant and reacted faster.

Gu Xing'er had just emerged from the starry sky when she thrust her dagger toward the Monkey King's nape.

The Monkey King immediately sensed danger the moment Gu Xing'er's aura approached.

It suddenly dodged to the side, and at the same time raised its huge palm, carrying violent spiritual energy, and swung it fiercely at Gu Xing'er, the palm wind was sharp.

She immediately sheathed her sword, and the starry sky beneath her feet reappeared, using the force to propel herself backward.

The Monkey King's attack missed, and his arm swept across a stone pillar beside him, causing the pillar to break and scattering stones everywhere.

Another palm came along with the gravel and dust, but Gu Xing'er did not panic. The star power around her quickly condensed into fine star threads and blocked in front of her.

With a crisp clang, the Monkey King's palm struck the starry thread, only to feel a sharp, blunt object cut his hand.

Blood gushed out instantly, and the intense pain caused it to let out an angry roar.

After roaring, the Monkey King was completely enraged. He flashed forward and charged at Gu Xing'er again, his claws slashing, each move deadly.

With a thought, Gu Xing'er instantly created several independent star regions around her. She moved swiftly between these star regions, making it impossible for the Monkey King to pinpoint her location.

The Monkey King could only watch helplessly as Gu Xing'er traversed the starry sky, launching attack after attack, but all her attacks missed.

Unable to even touch the hem of her clothes, the Monkey King's anger grew stronger, and his attacks became increasingly ferocious, yet he only made more and more mistakes.

In just a few breaths, Gu Xing'er had used the power of stars to form countless fine star threads around the Monkey King, firmly locking down the Monkey King's range of movement.

With a gentle wave of her left hand, all the star threads instantly swarmed towards the Monkey King, binding him tightly. The threads embedded themselves deeply into the Monkey King's skin, temporarily restraining him.

In the brief moment the Monkey King was bound, Gu Xing'er had already teleported behind it. With a flash of cold light, the Falling Star Dagger in her hand pierced the back of the Monkey King's neck, sealing its throat in one stroke.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Xing'er manipulated the Starry Silk Thread and hurled it towards the monkey troop.

The carcass crashed into the middle of the monkey troop with a loud thud, sending dust flying.

The stone goblins that were besieging the group erupted in chaos when they saw the monkey king's corpse fall from the sky.

Some screamed in terror, while others turned and ran.

"Kill as many as you can!"

Gu Xing'er's voice rang out.

The disciples who were still able to fight immediately rushed towards the scattered monkey troop, unleashing their magical treasures and spells, and killing the slower stone monkeys one by one.

The injured disciple remained where he was, receiving treatment from the other disciples.

Fortunately, no disciples were seriously injured or killed.

Gu Xing'er did not participate in the pursuit.

She stood atop the ruins, her gaze sweeping across the battlefield. Only after confirming that no stragglers posed a threat to the team did she jump down from the ruins and land back beside the spirit field.

The monkey troop ran very fast.

Those fast-running stone goblins have already disappeared into the depths of the ruins and cannot be caught.

Those who ran slowly were mostly left behind.

The disciples returned to the spirit field, panting, their bodies stained with blood to varying degrees, but their eyes were full of excitement.

"The thirteenth patriarch has fled about a quarter of the way; the rest have been dealt with."

Luo Yuxia stepped forward to report, slightly out of breath, but her points were clear and logical.

"Clean up the body and take everything useful."

She paused, then added:

"We need to move quickly. The smell of blood here is too strong and might attract other monsters later."

"Yes, Thirteenth Ancestor!"

The disciples immediately sprang into action, gathering useful materials with swift and efficient movements, and soon everything was ready.

After finishing their preparations, Gu Xing'er led her disciples to continue exploring another location.

......

In the forest on the other side, Gu Changyuan was watching Gu Xing'er handle the monkey crisis through the shared vision he had set up beforehand, and nodded in satisfaction.

The strategy was sound, and the action was decisive.

Gu Xing'er handled every step cleanly and efficiently.

Although Gu Xing'er's combat training was mostly conducted in a simulated environment, the girl clearly didn't treat that training as a game.

She not only easily integrated the experience gained in simulations into actual combat, but also flexibly adjusted her tactics according to changes in the real environment.

Gu Changyuan was very satisfied with Gu Xing'er's combat performance, which even exceeded his expectations.

He was still strolling leisurely through the forest of towering trees.

Whether it's a thousand-year-old spiritual herb or a spiritual stone containing spiritual energy, he would instantly store it in his space without the slightest pause.

LOL, you just left your treasure lying around on the ground, so it's just something nobody wants.

If I see something nobody else wants, then it's mine!
