Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 137 A Trip to Penglai (3)

Plans can never keep up with changes.

After narrowly escaping death to resolve the issues in the Ghost Realm, all he received in return was endless suppression from the Wen family.

Luo Zai Shui felt like she was going crazy, and she was in a daze.

The fire at Linghai Sect burned for three days and three nights, destroying countless scrolls.

Before his death, the sect leader of Linghai Sect desperately protected the sect's plaque, while Chu Yeli's whereabouts remain unknown.

This is a blatant demonstration by the Wen family, telling the world not to try to challenge their authority, or else they will suffer the same fate as Ling Haizong.

The Wen family even arrested all the direct descendants of the various sects and aristocratic families, ostensibly to discipline them, but they did not target Xianyun Peak because no one could enter Xianyun Peak at the moment, and they believed that Xianyun Peak could not cause any trouble.

Luo Zai Shui was in a daze. She stood in the crowd, and no one could see her.

A pair of hands pushed Su Wusi to the ground.

"Hurry up, stop dawdling!"

Su Wusi suffered many injuries while dealing with the ghost realm barrier. The Wen family was ruthless and insidious when they captured them, and their injuries will not heal for a while.

"Get up now, what are you dawdling for!"

The man made a move to kick Su Wusi. Luo Zai Shui was a little anxious and blocked the man's way, but the man walked straight past her.

A muffled groan was heard.

"Senior Brother Ye..."

"It's nothing."

A pair of hands helped Su Wusi up.

That day, she clearly saw that Ye Xiao's leg was also seriously injured. He pulled Su Wusi up and limped away with her.

"Stop!" The man couldn't stand arrogant geniuses like Ye Xiao, nor could he tolerate him playing the hero and rescuing the damsel in distress. "Did I say you could leave?"

He kicked Ye Xiao's injured leg, and Ye Xiao groaned. If Su Wusi hadn't been there to tempt him, he would have almost fallen to his knees.

"you--"

Su Wusi wanted to go forward and teach that person a lesson, but Ye Xiao stopped him. The person shook his head slightly, and Su Wusi had no choice but to grit his teeth and decide to find an open space to check on Ye Xiao's injuries first.

"Huh? Did I let you leave?"

Another person blocked Su Wusi's way.

"I've heard that this little beauty and Young Master Ye have quite a legendary love story," the man joked. "Little beauty, if I remember correctly, you're a direct disciple of Xianyun Peak, right? For this Young Master Ye, you actually didn't hesitate to abandon your own sect. Tsk tsk tsk, truly admirable."

Another person chimed in, "Hey, what do you know? This is because the beauty herself is self-aware and unwilling to collude with the demon infiltrators."

Su Wusi clenched his fists inwardly.

She had to be patient, she had to wait for the right moment, until the enemy was complacent, and then deliver a fatal blow.

Old grudges and new hatreds will be settled one day.

"Since you're so self-aware, why don't you leave him and come with us?"

As they were talking, the two men started to grope her, but suddenly her feet were dangling in the air, and she was thrown out.

"roll--"

Sun Yuan's wound was still bleeding, and he looked quite intimidating. The two men, fearing that he might really be pushed to the limit and fight back, slunk away.

Nie Xushuang pulled them aside: "Treat the wounds first."

Ye Xiao was the most seriously injured, with visible black bruising between his knees.

"We need to drain this blood, just bear with it."

A silver needle pierced half an inch deep, and black blood slowly seeped out. Ye Xiao's face turned pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He needed to distract himself: "How's the situation now?"

While administering acupuncture, Nie Xushuang replied, "The Wen family has destroyed many sects and aristocratic families this time, and some of them have already begun to submit. I have learned that the Wen family wants to establish some kind of Immortal Alliance, with the Wen family in charge and the Immortal Alliance as the supreme authority."

Su Wusi asked in a low voice, "What about Senior Brother Chu?"

Nie Xushuang lowered her voice: "Xue Xin received the news and took him to Penglai, where he can recuperate."

Su Wusi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that he's alright."

Sun Yuan re-bandaged the wound: "Let's worry about ourselves first."

"Is everyone here?"

A lazy voice came from above.

Wen Lian was leaning back lazily in his chair, looking down at the crowd with disdain in his eyes.

"Reporting to young master, everyone has arrived."

"Okay, let's begin."

Wen Lian waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to pass on the message.

"The Wen family's ancestral precepts state that righteous people should take it upon themselves to eliminate evil and punish wickedness. Nowadays, many disciples of sects and aristocratic families have gone astray and do not know how to repent. The Wen family follows the way of heaven, punishes evil and promotes good, which is a good deed. Today, Wen Lian, the young master of the Wen family, is different from the common people and is willing to discipline his disciples. It is hoped that all disciples will wake up as soon as possible and return to the right path."

As soon as he finished speaking, some people below began to whisper among themselves.

"Pah, shameless. They talk so nicely but they just want us to submit to them. If we don't, they'll wipe out our entire family."

"Alright, keep your voice down, lest someone with ulterior motives hears you."

Su Wusi looked in the direction of the voice and recognized the two people. She suddenly remembered that they seemed to be two members of the Jiang family.

Qian Kuo, on the other side, didn't speak, but his brows were furrowed, and he looked preoccupied.

"The young master is kind-hearted. In previous years, only one family could enter the Phoenix Spirit Secret Realm as the champion of the sect competition. This year, in order to give everyone a chance to gain experience, the young master is willing to take everyone with him."

As soon as the news was released, the crowd immediately stirred.

"This is the Phoenix Spirit Secret Realm, and the Wen family just gave it up like that?"

"Could the Wen family really be so kind?"

"A slap followed by a sweet treat? Who cares? If you're so capable, just let us go."

"Please, it's the Phoenix Spirit Secret Realm! This is a tremendous opportunity."

Su Wusi and the others exchanged glances, and surprisingly, they completed the task by sheer coincidence.

They were plotting in hushed tones.

“We should try to stay together as much as possible then.” Su Wusi frowned. “It’s definitely not a good thing that the Wen family is bringing so many of their own disciples. They might very well use us as a shield.”

Ye Xiao nodded: "We need to keep a close eye on the Wen family. If we can find out Feng Ling's location, the Wen family must also have ways to find out. We must not let them succeed."

Nie Xushuang was somewhat worried: "But in our current state, I'm afraid we're no match for them."

"What's there to be afraid of? We only have one life left. The barefoot have nothing to fear. Even if I die, I'll take one of us with me!"

Sun Yuan's voice suddenly rose, startling the others who quickly covered his mouth and forced a smile, saying, "He's delirious with fever, he's delirious with fever, don't worry about him."

Ye Xiao pressed her numb leg: "That's true. Even if it costs us our lives, we have to stop them."

"What's the plan? Can I join you?"

Shen Xian, who suddenly appeared behind Su Wusi, startled her. Jiang Qian, who had a dark expression, was standing next to her.

“You…” Nie Xushuang frowned, “eavesdropping on our conversation?”

Shen Xian quickly raised his hand and said, "We didn't eavesdrop. We just happened to be passing by and heard you talking about how you were willing to risk your lives to do something. I think we click, so I want to join you, and the person next to me too."

Shen Xian nudged Jiang Qian next to him with his elbow, and Jiang Qian reluctantly hummed in agreement.

Ye Xiao wasn't particularly familiar with them and didn't want to involve them: "No need."

"Tsk, don't be so quick to reject us, we're very useful." Shen Xuan was about to introduce their abilities to them when he was interrupted.

"What are those whispering amongst themselves in the audience doing!"

The group dispersed without making a sound. Shen Xian couldn't help but smile wryly, put his arm around Jiang Qian's shoulder, and whispered, "I think following them should be able to open up a second path for the Jiang family. What do you think?"

Jiang Qian pushed his arm away without saying a word: "You don't need to worry about the Jiang family's affairs. Focus on whether you can survive first."

Shen Xian showed no sense of urgency about the impending disaster: "What you're saying is that your business is my business, and the Jiang family's business is also my business. Just tell me, are you going to do it or not?"

Jiang Qian took a deep breath and didn't answer for a long time. Shen Xian's smile froze, and then he hummed in response.

"Let's do it, for the future of the Jiang family."

"Good lad, I knew you were right. We'd better keep a close eye on them. We might not be able to help with other things, but cleaning up this kind of mess will be a piece of cake."
