CHAPTER 484: CHAPTER 484: POOR SELF-PROTECTION ABILITY

Chen Pingping was a monster. He clearly didn’t know Artifact Refining, yet he could repair a spaceship and even set up an Attack Array.

Guang Xiaoyu was also a monster. Obviously not a Saint Realm powerhouse, yet she could slay those in the Saint Realm...

Fuck, is there no heavenly justice?

He Yitian exhaled and decided to just shut up.

But on the return trip, the two were still fraught with anxiety.

Guang Xiaoyu said irritably, "All of you, smile for me."

The two forced smiles onto their faces.

"With my Junior Sister here, Fairy Valley and the Wuji Sect will definitely remain safe and sound," Guang Xiaoyu glared at them.

Junior Sister? Oh? Is it that little girl who looks only around eleven or twelve years old? He Yitian looked clueless.

The scholar beside him, however, showed a trace of strangeness. He had known both Guang Xiaoyu and Zi Ji far longer than He Yitian.

If Guang Xiaoyu was this enigmatic, then Zi Ji couldn’t be far behind; after all, both had precedents for being deceptively formidable. Yet, when it came to their true combat power, the scholar was somewhat puzzled. There was no denying that Guang Xiaoyu was strong. But what about Zi Ji? Could it be that she too could slay those in the Saint Realm? The thought alone unsettled him.

Their destination drew nearer.

Many people were discussing the recent events. The main topic was how the Star Sea’s formidable forces had arrived aggressively, only to be annihilated by a young girl. Fairy Valley hadn’t even needed to act.

Hearing this, Guang Xiaoyu laughed.

The scholar and He Yitian were dumbfounded.

Really? Impossible?

Soon after, they hurriedly returned and saw the truth.

Outside the City of Extinction, there lay terrifying ruins with deep pits. The soil was scorched, blood had dried, and strong, lingering Saint Realm fluctuations permeated the air.

Looking inside the City of Extinction, the members of Fairy Valley were all alive and well.

The two were immediately bewildered.

It was true. They could hardly believe it.

Guang Xiaoyu surveyed the ruins for a while to ensure no Demon cultivators had appeared, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

...

"Senior Sister," Zi Ji called out from a distance, her smile radiant.

Guang Xiaoyu nodded at her and then strode over.

The two men hurried to catch up. However, they headed towards the members of Fairy Valley, wanting to understand the slaughter that had taken place not long before.

「About ten minutes later.」

Listening to the crowd’s excited, animated, and spittle-flecked recounting of events, the two men felt their own excitement build.

"She’s so strong! Fuck, you have no idea. Zi Ji raised her hand and killed two Saint Realm experts without even blinking. Later, she produced a Paper Talisman, invoking a terrifying Sword Dao that eradicated the Star Sea’s experts. Not even a late-stage Saint Realm expert could escape," a young man said excitedly.

"Didn’t they use a Quasi-Emperor Weapon?" the scholar asked.

"Yes, an Elder from Star Sea brought out a Quasi-Emperor Weapon, but guess what happened?"

"What happened?"

"He, along with the Quasi-Emperor Weapon, was cut down by the Sword Dao Zi Ji summoned. The weapon is now in our possession."

"???"

"Shocked, aren’t you? HAHAHA... Yes, it’s ours now," he said, unable to conceal his excitement.

That wasn’t an ordinary weapon, but a powerful Quasi-Emperor Weapon, infinitely close to an Emperor Weapon. If it were to be reawakened, there was a chance it could unleash the aura of a Great Emperor.

But when Zi Ji brought it back, she didn’t even glance at it once before tossing it to Fairy Valley, saying, "I don’t need it."

At that moment, everyone from Fairy Valley was shocked by her extravagant gesture. The Elder and many other high-ranking members wished they could hug her thigh and say, "Thank you, we are so grateful."

The scholar was stunned.

There was a problem. Definitely a problem. It wasn’t that Zi Ji had given away a Quasi-Emperor Weapon; it was an issue with Fairy Valley’s mindset. A mere Quasi-Emperor Weapon had won the hearts of Fairy Valley. Wait a minute...

The scholar looked up. "Isn’t our Fairy Valley’s Divine Weapon still in Chen Pingping’s possession?"

As these words came out, the scene instantly fell silent. The people who had been excitedly discussing just a moment ago suddenly stiffened.

Yes, they remembered. Fairy Valley’s foundational Divine Weapon was still in Chen Pingping’s hands.

The scholar sighed. "Calm down. Let’s get our Divine Weapon back first before celebrating."

At this moment, a young man spoke in a deep voice, "Senior Brother Scholar, are you saying this to sow discord because the Creation Divine Stick is still with Chen Pingping?"

Scholar: "???"

"Chen Pingping is an asshole, but not everyone is. That young lady, Zi Ji, is genuinely good. When the powerhouses from the Star Sea attacked, she faced them alone. Even at the end, she prioritized our safety," the young man said earnestly.

At that moment, everyone in Fairy Valley was moved. It was also from that moment that they silently let go of "Fairy Valley."

The Elder sighed. "Indeed! That young lady is truly commendable; when trouble arises, she genuinely steps up."

"Moreover, she gave us everything she collected from the Star Sea forces," the young man added.

"We should let go of our prejudices against each other."

"This is the command of our Ancestor."

"Yes."

"The path our Ancestor chose will undoubtedly be arduous. Therefore, he intends to merge the Wuji Sect with Fairy Valley in preparation."

Scholar: "..."

He Yitian, standing to one side, really wanted to laugh but dared not.

「Elsewhere.」

Zi Ji was narrating the whole process to Guang Xiaoyu.

When Guang Xiaoyu heard that Zi Ji had casually slain Saint Realm experts, she was shocked. No way! Could it be? Has my Junior Sister really reached such a level?

She was somewhat panicked. After all, she was the Senior Sister! And she was a reincarnated Demon Emperor! If her Junior Sister caught up to her, wouldn’t that be incredibly embarrassing? But she quickly calmed down. Slaying Saint Realm experts? She herself had killed two not long ago.

However, when she heard that Zi Ji took out a Paper Talisman, Guang Xiaoyu leaped up. "What did you say?"

AHHHH! Her composure collapsed.

Paper Talismans were items left behind by Wen Yuqing, considered by Chen Pingping to be his most precious treasures, far more valuable than any Quasi-Emperor Weapon. In earlier years, she had tried every method of coaxing and pleading, even coming close to stripping to seduce her Senior Brother, yet he had steadfastly refused to give her a single Paper Talisman.

Who would have thought! Chen Pingping had given them to Zi Ji.

Guang Xiaoyu was somewhat frantic. "How many did he give you?"

"Just ten..." Zi Ji, startled and unsure what was wrong with her Senior Sister, replied quietly.

Ten?

THUD. Guang Xiaoyu stumbled and fell to the ground.

There’s a saying that goes, envy can make one unrecognizable...

After getting back up, Guang Xiaoyu looked at her imploringly. "Junior Sister, please give me a few!"

Zi Ji opened her mouth. "But, Senior Brother told me not to give them to you."

Guang Xiaoyu: "???"

"Senior Brother said my self-preservation skills are poor, and I could be easily killed. But you, Senior Sister, are different; you’re a powerful cultivator," Zi Ji said earnestly.

"..."

Slaying Saint Realm experts is considered poor self-preservation? Guang Xiaoyu felt wronged.

Oh oh?

Zi Ji seemed to remember something else and added, "Before Senior Brother left, he told me that if you returned first, I should give this to you."

She took out a scroll.

This?

Guang Xiaoyu was stunned. "What’s this?"

Zi Ji shook her head. "I don’t know, but he mentioned that on that day, he had met a senior and they had talked for a long time..."
