Huh? Is it so easy to increase the male lead's favorability?

"Boss Xia." The Grand Elder stopped and looked at Wen Jin. "Does Chief Deng also have items from the auction house?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Jin paused in her tracks.

Xu Ying and Deng Lang looked over upon hearing the sound.

But Wen Jin shook her head.

Deng Lang immediately received the signal and continued the conversation: "Elder... what makes you say that?"

His words were forced and disjointed, and to the Grand Elder, they clearly sounded like he was putting on a brave face.

Wen Jin quickly stepped forward, her voice urgent: "Chief Deng?! Are you alright?"

Deng Lang shook his head: "It's alright."

Seeing this, the Grand Elder narrowed his eyes, having already made up his mind.

"I think you two might as well stay here for a while and lend me your protective treasures. It will also make it easier for me to keep an eye on you both," he suggested, looking at Deng Lang, who had already sat down.

Wen Jin straightened Deng Lang's robes and discreetly slipped a pill into Deng Lang's hand.

She knew Deng Lang was faking it, but the Grand Elder of Wudang Immortal Mountain seemed unable to withstand the increasing concentration of evil energy and had begun to target her. This matter had exceeded her expectations, and she couldn't be sure if the effects of the previous pills would be affected. Giving her one more pill would be the best option.

As for that old man, the First Elder, she had no treasures to give him.

Wen Jin stood up, took off his hood, and glanced over indifferently. "There always needs to be someone with Kongtong Valley, otherwise how can we feel at ease?"

Looking around, a group of people stood in black robes, with only Wen Jin showing his face, representing Kongtong Valley, which was different from Wudang Mountain.

"So you know that you're the only one left in your Kongtong Valley?"

Someone chimed in with a grin and moved closer.

Wen Jin's face showed a hint of wariness, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice turned cold: "What does this mean?"

The Grand Elder also took a few steps toward Wen Jin, looking like a peacemaker: "Boss Xia, we don't mean anything by it! We just... want to borrow your protective magical artifact."

The person hadn't told him about the situation inside the rift when they said they were going there. Who could have predicted that the evil energy here would be so concentrated, causing his spiritual veins to ache. If he went any further, he, the leader of Wudang Immortal Mountain, would have to stop. What kind of behavior would that be!

Thinking this, he pretended to be embarrassed, as if he found it difficult to speak: "As you know, this operation was originally led by our Wudang Immortal Mountain, so naturally we must put our Wudang Immortal Mountain first in everything."

Upon hearing this, Wen Jin's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Does the Grand Elder mean... to bully the weak with numbers?"

Before she could finish speaking, a cool breeze suddenly blew in from deep within, seeping into her skin along the hem of her clothes.

The evil aura before my eyes grew even stronger.

She noticed the figure of the Grand Elder, who was about three steps away from her, had become somewhat blurry, and tilted her head.

This caused the Grand Elder to clench his fist even tighter.

"Are you going to give it to me or not?" His voice tightened, carrying a deep, angry undertone.

"With my current cultivation level, wouldn't I just die here?" Wen Jin crossed his arms, observing the Grand Elder's every move without any urgency.

Because of that gust of wind, the concentration of evil energy is now more than twice as high as before. This Grand Elder... seems to be unable to withstand it. I wonder if the spiritual veins will explode?

Wen Jin smiled and glanced at Xu Ying as well.

Even among those who practice heresy, there are differences in talent; it's just a pity that the Grand Elder is all talk and no action.

She silently shook her head in her heart, easily dodging the elder's palm strike while pulling Deng Lang along, and exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing!"

"If you don't hand it over, you'll die right here!" The elder gritted his teeth and pressed down on him again.

In the dim space, the overwhelming evil energy seemed to obey his command, and a suffocating atmosphere spread in an instant.

Wen Jin frowned slightly, showing some impatience.

Does this person want her to reveal her strength now?

Before she could think, she instinctively lightly touched the ground with her feet and quickly darted backward, narrowly dodging the elder's attack.

Before she could think any further, the sound of another attack cutting through the air rang in her ears!

"Oh!"

A tremendous sound rang out, almost piercing the Great Elder's eardrums. Wen Jin withdrew his hand, and a yellow talisman had already burned to ashes at his fingertips.

Behind the talisman, a pair of delicate eyebrows and eyes slowly emerged.

The Grand Elder was taken aback.

"It's you!" he said fiercely, with a hint of realization, then his voice lowered, as if squeezed out from between his teeth: "Master of Fuyao Peak. I have long admired you."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Jin flashed in front of him and extended his hand slightly forward—a loud collision sounded again, and Wen Jin's figure took a few steps back.

She looked up at the barrier erected in front of the Grand Elder and clearly felt the loss of evil energy in the surrounding environment.

Fighting them in this environment is really tricky.

Wen Jin silently counted the number of other Wudang Immortal Mountain cultivators around him.

The sharp sound of air being torn apart came again, and the dense, black magic transformed into a long sword, flying straight towards Wen Jin!

Wen Jin raised her eyes and leaped backward again, while simultaneously making a sword finger with one hand and rapidly drawing in the void. In the blink of an eye, a golden talisman appeared in front of Wen Jin.

Wen Jin stopped, flicked his wrist, and threw out another talisman.

"The six Jia (甲) represent Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang are in harmony!"

"Heavenly Gang Formation Demon! Go!"

She whispered the words and touched the talisman with her fingertip.

In an instant, the talisman shone with a brilliant golden light!

The barrier and longsword, forged from evil energy, vanished swiftly within the golden light!

That's not all; the evil energy that was used up by the people of Wudang Immortal Mountain is still surging in!

Wen Jin looked around, closed his eyes, and then raised his palm slightly. The talisman, which seemed to have exhausted its energy, flew straight into the sky!

A thick beam of golden light descended in an instant! Forcing the evil energy to advance no further within the range of the golden light!

Painful cries immediately filled the air.

Wisps of black smoke, accompanied by shouts, were constantly rising from above everyone's heads.

Wen Jin took the opportunity to swallow the blood in his mouth.

Honestly, even after all this time, this talisman still can't withstand her. But thankfully, her condition after using it now is much better than it was back then.

She thought helplessly, and with a flick of her sleeve, she immediately pulled off most of the hoods of the group.

One after another, similar faces were suddenly exposed to the air.

She has an ordinary, unremarkable appearance, the kind of face that's easy to forget after seeing it.

These elders looked almost exactly like the two leaders she had seen at the Misty Sound Palace and the Kunlun Immortal Sect a few days ago.

Especially the narrative film.

It looked so much like him again than I had seen him that day.

The previous conjectures have now been confirmed.

"You must die here today!"

The elder's furious voice rang out.

As he shouted, an attack silently arrived.

Wen Jin had noticed it long ago, but before she could make a move, the evil energy seemed to have received a new command and dissipated into the air like a headless fly.

Wen Jin was genuinely surprised this time. The effect of the Heavenly Gang Suppressing Evil talisman had dissipated moments ago, and the evil energy had already gathered again. Who had blocked this attack for her in advance?

She squinted, her gaze falling on Xu Ying again.

Everyone else had put their hoods back on, but his and the Grand Elder's faces were still exposed to her.

Is it him? Wen Jin wondered.

If it's him, then he's not too bad. It seems like we can really try to win him over again.

Seeing the attack suddenly disappear, the Grand Elder was only stunned for a moment before immediately raising his hand.

Upon receiving the instructions, everyone immediately got to work.

Wen Jin felt a little uncertain.

The talisman just now did severely injure the people of Wudang Immortal Mountain. After all, there are still many dead people lying on the ground emitting black smoke. But now they seem to be setting up some kind of formation.

In her current state, she absolutely cannot use the second Heavenly Gang Suppressing Evil Technique. If she only uses minor spells to exchange blows, how long will that fight last?

After they had already committed numerous atrocities outside Wudang Mountain, did they attack it?

So she probably won't get it done.

"Warm tea, go ahead."

Wen Jin's thoughts stirred slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up into a smile.
