There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

Gu Xia had already been shocked once before, so her emotions were relatively stable at this moment. The Great Demon was dead, and the spiritual artifact was unclaimed, so she brought out all the white bones inside the spiritual artifact.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but for a moment, she felt as if a gentle breeze was caressing her face.

Gu Xia seemed to sense something, and looked up, her gaze fixed on a point in the void.

"Little junior sister?"

Jiang Chaoxu asked softly, "What are you looking at?"

Is there something there?

He followed Gu Xia's gaze, but found nothing.

Gu Xia looked slightly lost in thought, but upon hearing this, she quickly smiled at him, her eyes crinkling, "I'm looking at a remarkable senior."

Even after being trapped in the dark, bloody waters for a hundred years, they have still managed to persevere until now.

It even used up its last bit of strength to help her break free from the predicament.

Until the obsession dissipates, there is no more rebirth.

"I see..." Jiang Chaoxu seemed thoughtful.

He could roughly deduce some of the inside story from Gu Xia's words.

"Patriarch Ye."

Gu Xia composed herself and looked at the group of people who were still in shock. "I'll have to trouble you to help me find an auspicious burial site for them."

The past few centuries have been too bitter, but now we can finally see the light of day.

Since she had encountered them, she decided to lend them a hand.

It's a pity that we couldn't collect the remains of that senior.

The Ye family head slowly closed his wide-open mouth and nodded in agreement, "Okay."

These were all acts of slaughter committed by the demons. After being released from the place that had imprisoned them for hundreds of years, the intense resentment lingered for a moment before gradually dissipating.

Gu Xia carefully examined the sickle in her hand. The part she had cut was somewhat damaged, but it wasn't a big problem. She thought that if she had the chance later, she could ask a weapon repairman to help her fix it.

It can still be used after being patched up, right?

Gu Xia touched it with relish. Good things shouldn't be kept to herself. There are so many demons to enjoy them too.

It's a pity that the great demon died too quickly, otherwise she would definitely have thrown him in to enjoy himself.

Gu Xia wholeheartedly agreed with Ye Suian's words at this moment—

That old man got off easy.

The matter of burying those remains was temporarily entrusted to the Ye family, and finding an auspicious burial site was naturally not a difficult task for them.

As fellow cultivators, many felt a sense of empathy, perhaps because they thought of the near-annihilation they had suffered before.

Gu Xia turned around, her mind clearly locking onto the people still circling in the distance.

“Since they’re so eager, we don’t need to be polite.” She patted Ye Suian, who was still in a daze, “Wake up, Third Senior Brother, we’re about to have a big job.”

The boy suddenly snapped out of his daze, his expression blank. "Huh?"

Gu Xia smiled strangely and pointed outside.

"Our goal is to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

The unsuspecting onlookers: "..."

Danger! ! !

*

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

A dozen or so cultivators dressed in various colors were brought bound hand and foot to the ruins of the Ye family...

There's no way around it, rebuilding takes time, okay?

The head of the Ye family sighed slightly, feeling that he had already given up and was ready to do whatever he wanted.

Oh well, I'll just have to make do with this for now.

Compared to him, the group of cultivators were not so calm.

"Be bold!"

One of them spoke first, his eyes wide with anger, "How dare your Ye family arrest us?"

"That's right, do you know who we are? Now release us."

"This is outrageous! Absolutely audacious! Completely lawless!" The use of three idioms in a row reveals just how intense the other party's anger was.

How could it not thrive?

They considered themselves experts sent by their respective factions, but in the end, they were surrounded and killed in a single encounter, before they could even get a good look at the people.

They didn't even have a chance to struggle, which was a great humiliation for people like them who were used to being in high positions.

Therefore, their first reaction was to threaten the person in front of them.

"..."

Ye Suian picked at his ears, his head throbbing from the noise. In a very rude manner, he pulled out a rag and stuffed it into the mouth of the man who was yelling the loudest.

The other person was the loudest, shouting so loudly it felt like their heart was about to jump out of their chest. Being treated so rudely from the start, they immediately widened their eyes even more.

"No no no!"

Ye Suian continued rummaging through his things, then looked at the others with a smile, "What? Do you want the same treatment as him?"

The remaining dozen or so people: "..."

No, they don't want to.

Who knows where he got that rag from? It looked filthy. Seeing the man with his mouth gagged starting to roll his eyes, they all paused in their tracks.

Ah this.

If nothing unexpected happens, he's probably about to explode with anger.

After a moment of silence, they grew increasingly angry, their eyes flashing with daggers as they glared at Ye Suian.

"Ye Sui'an!"

Some of them, however discerning, recognized him after calming down and said in a grim tone, "You dare to lead men to ambush us? Does your father know about this? Does your Ye family know about it?"

"What exactly do you want—"

The words stopped abruptly.

The head of the Ye family interrupted his incessant rant with a quiet voice, "His father is right here."

"I advise you to save your energy."

Everyone: "?"

Upon hearing this, they finally had time to look at the source of the sound. The first thing they saw was charred ground and ruins.

My first reaction was schadenfreude; the Ye family is so pitiful, hahaha.

However, in the blink of an eye, they saw the head of the Ye family standing in front of them, calm and composed, looking quite pleased with himself.

The men's faces immediately turned green.

Damn it.

They seem to be the ones who are suffering.

"Patriarch Ye?" One of them twisted his expression and immediately took the initiative, "What do you mean by this?"

"We've always kept to ourselves, what do you mean by having your son tie us up?"

"Keep your distance, we won't interfere with each other?" Patriarch Ye sneered.

Keep pretending, then.

They would normally be eager to tear each other apart, but now they're acting all high and mighty.

He smiled and said, "Then what have you been doing lingering on our Ye family's territory for so long?"

The cultivator, who had been so self-righteous, suddenly choked.

"Of course, they came to help because they saw such a big commotion at the Ye family."

"Oh? And what help did you get?" Don't tell him you were just helping him wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump.

Several people:"……"

Can't you tell it's just an excuse? These are all pretexts that everyone knows the truth about.

Why is this person still clinging to this today?

Did he take the wrong medicine? Or did some lightning strike him on the head the other day?

Fortunately, the man reacted quickly and immediately turned the tables, saying, "With such a loud thunderbolt, we naturally wouldn't dare to step in lightly. Don't talk as if we owe you anything. If what happened here today had happened here, would your Ye family have rushed in to help?"

He spoke with great conviction.

"Oh." To everyone's surprise, the Ye family head was also very honest. "No, don't worry."

They'd be lucky if they didn't kick someone when they're down, let alone offer any help.

"..."

Everyone was silenced by his honest words.

Jiang Chaoxu hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but say, "Now I finally understand why my third senior brother is so cheeky."

So it's a case of 'son inheriting father's business'.

The man who had spoken earlier was so enraged by the Ye family head's words that he almost vomited blood, but he swallowed his anger back. "Then why are you Ye family members arresting us?"

He looked hostile. "If you don't give us a reasonable explanation today, don't blame us for not leaving."

Even the head of the Ye family can't just kidnap people like that. Don't they have any pride?

They had clearly underestimated the other party's shamelessness. Upon hearing this, the Ye family head burst into laughter, "That's wonderful!"

"However, I should remind you that it really wasn't me who sent people to arrest you."

The person who spoke immediately rolled their eyes.

That attitude clearly conveyed the message, "Are you kidding me? Do you think they're all idiots?"

Just now, that brat Ye Suian was stuffing rags into their mouths.

However, speaking of Ye Sui'an—

His expression shifted slightly as he carefully examined the other party. His aura fluctuated slightly, revealing his undisguised cultivation level.

He was clearly just a Nascent Soul cultivator.

It's not that the Nascent Soul stage is incompetent; in fact, they would have been envious for a while in the past. However, the recent massive tribulation lightning of the Transcending Tribulation stage was so eye-catching that he frowned immediately.

"How can you only be a Nascent Soul cultivator?!"

Ye Suian, who was being questioned, was like, "???"

hello?

Are you serious?
