Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

After leaving the Demon Gathering Hall, Ji Nanbei returned to the inn, but instead of going to his own room, he went directly to Senior Sister Xie's room.

"Senior sister?"

Ji Nanbei knocked on the door.

"Junior brother, are you done fighting?"

A lazy voice came from inside the door.

Ji Nanbei pushed open the door and saw his senior sister lying on the bed, looking like she was giving up.

"Senior sister, you brought me to the Demonic Path Competition, and then during the competition, I disappeared. Is that really reasonable?"

Ji Nanbei questioned.

"I can't go up and help you fight, so it makes perfect sense! How about it, are you in the top ten? The reward is pretty generous, right?"

Ji Nanbei casually tossed the cultivation world competition token and the lightning-attracting array plate at his scumbag senior sister.

"Ouch!"

Ji Nanbei thought that his senior sister would catch it, but he didn't expect her to be so determined to lie down. She didn't even reach out and was hit squarely by the two things.

Lin Mengxi picked up the array plate and token from her face and examined them.

"This is the reward? Tsk tsk, sixth rank, not bad, the lightning-summoning formation is just right for you."

Lin Mengxi knew that Ji Nanbei cultivated a unique body-refining technique that used tribulation lightning to refine his body, so she naturally understood the benefits of this array plate.

After looking at the two items, Lin Mengxi threw them back.

"Senior sister, let's set off back to the sect."

Ji Nanbei said, putting away the array plate and token.

Ji Nanbei wanted to return to his sect as soon as possible.

After all, there's still a lovely master within the sect.

Well, ever since Cheng Ling'er transformed from a mature woman into a cute little girl, Ji Nanbei's impression of her changed from stunningly beautiful to adorable.

Moreover, because Ji Nanbei interacted more with the loli version of Cheng Ling'er, he actually left a more adorable impression.

Ji Nanbei can only use Descent once a day, and the duration is only one minute.

On Cheng Ling'er's side, the situation seems to be in crisis again, and it's unclear when her injuries will flare up.

Therefore, Ji Nanbei still wanted to return as soon as possible to begin treating his master.

Lin Mengxi shook her head.

"You've finally managed to get out of town, don't you want to spend more time in this Demon Gathering City? Coming to such a big city and not visiting any brothels would be a wasted trip, wouldn't it?"

Ji Nanbei covered his face.

Is this really something a senior female student should say?

However, Ji Nanbei quickly realized that something was wrong with his senior sister.

Recalling the fact that someone had been spying on him before, and his senior sister's disappearance today, Ji Nanbei suddenly frowned.

"Is there trouble? Will leaving Guiding Demon City now cause problems?"

Lin Mengxi was somewhat surprised.

She hadn't expected that Ji Nanbei would immediately notice the problem.

She hadn't originally planned to tell her junior brother about this.

Lin Mengxi sat up, still wearing that same smile.

"Junior brother, with such keen insight, you might not be able to find a Daoist partner in the future. You can see through the thoughts of all the women in the world, so you might develop misogyny."

Ji Nanbei rolled his eyes.

Ignoring Lin Mengxi's words, Ji Nanbei frowned and continued to ask...

"Someone's watching us? Is it the same person from that night? Who is it, and how strong are they?"

Lin Mengxi shook her head.

"It's still unknown. I went out of the city to take a look today. There were quite a few of them, but there shouldn't be any Nascent Soul cultivators among them. As for who they are... I can't say for sure."

Ji Nanbei raised an eyebrow.

It seems the other party is well hidden, and they didn't make a move when my senior sister left the city.

Are they planning to capture both of them in one fell swoop?

"How long will we have to hide in the Guiding Demon City?"

Ji Nanbei really had no experience with this kind of thing.

Lin Mengxi shook her head.

"Hiding is probably not going to be of much use. Unless we stay here permanently, the other side probably won't give up easily in the next few years."

The concept of time in the cultivation world is different from that of ordinary people.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, it may take more than ten years of dedicated study and accumulation to advance even a minor realm.

A period of seclusion can easily last for several years.

Cultivation is a gradual process that requires patience and perseverance.

Ji Nanbei only felt that his cultivation time was not that long because he had a system and came into contact with some strange beings in the cultivation world.

But for ordinary cultivators, waiting for a chance encounter for more than ten years is nothing unusual.

Two periods of seclusion, and more than a decade or so will have passed.

After all, a Nascent Soul cultivator can have a lifespan of several thousand years.

Ji Nanbei was speechless.

We definitely can't wait several years.

"We definitely can't wait a few years. If we waste a few years here, we won't even make it to the Cultivation World Competition. So, after tonight, we'll set off tomorrow and fight our way through."

Lin Mengxi said this.

Ji Nanbei nodded.

At this moment, the system task also popped up.

[Task triggered. Please select one of the following three options to complete.]

Option 1: A dark and windy night, perfect for murder. Charge out of the city and slaughter to your heart's content! (Reward: 700,000 Demonic Path Points, Rank 6 Spiritual Item: Spirit-Stabilizing Flower.)

Option Two: It's too dark to travel at night; we'll set off again tomorrow. We'll depart tomorrow morning. (Reward: 500,000 Magic Points, Grade 5 Spiritual Artifact: The Attracting Bees and Butterflies Boots.)

Option 3: A wise man doesn't stand under a crumbling wall; cling to a powerful figure! Go to the Demon Gathering Hall to find reinforcements. (Reward: 400,000 Demonic Path Points, 5.3, and a Grade 4 spiritual medicine, Rain-Transforming Powder.)

Ji Nanbei frowned after glancing at the options.

The difference in rewards between the previous options should be quite significant.

This allows us to see the level of danger for each option.

But this time, the rewards for the three options are not that different.

In other words, this crisis was unavoidable and had to be faced.

This time, the third option was the first to be eliminated.

Mo Wentian has already left.

Currently, Ji Nanbei doesn't know anyone in the Jumo Hall.

Perhaps I could use Mo Wentian's favor to ask someone who regularly resides in the Demon Gathering Hall for help, but that would make Mo Wentian dislike me.

Moreover, it's very likely that they won't be able to find anyone.

That would be unwise.

The difference between setting off tonight and setting off tomorrow is that Ji Nanbei can make some preparations.

Here, Ji Nanbei should choose the second option.

"I need to collect the whole 'Bee Attracting Butterflies' set."

Ji Nanbei was speechless.

This isn't a very good outfit.

The second item produced has a certain color.

After confirming that they would depart the next day, Ji Nanbei bowed to Lin Mengxi and withdrew.

Back in his room, Ji Nanbei opened the system and began to organize his gains from this trip and make preparations for the next step.
