Junior sister took first place again

Inside Hehuan Palace, the clamor and bustle of the hall, once filled with quarrels and noise, suddenly ceased. An indescribable awe and excitement quickly spread among the disciples.

Qinglian Immortal Venerable, the legendary number one swordsman in the world, his name not only represents supreme power, but also a kind of belief among the immortals.

At this moment, no matter how wonderful the performance of the disciples in the water mirror was, they could not divert everyone's attention, even if one of them was the disciple of the Immortal Master himself.

The disciples excitedly chatted with each other, discussing the deeds and swordsmanship of the Immortal Master Qinglian, their voices filled with admiration and yearning.

Some young sword cultivators even trembled slightly with excitement. For them, being able to see the Immortal Master Qinglian with their own eyes was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

All the doors of the hall were thrown open, and a group of disciples rushed out. Their steps were quick and powerful. Everyone wanted to get ahead and occupy a good position to see the legendary sword immortal more clearly.

In the square of Hehuan Palace, a crowd quickly gathered, forming a black mass. Everyone was asking about the whereabouts of the Immortal Lord at the moment, and they were running around waiting eagerly.

As for why he didn't go further, it was naturally because the Tianque Realm in Xizhou was now the most important place in the entire cultivation world. Furthermore, Qinglian Immortal Venerable's two disciples were here. Since he had come to Xizhou, there was a high possibility that he would visit Hehuan Palace.

Everyone's idea was very reasonable. Although the Immortal Master Qinglian had not come to the Hehuan Palace yet, those who were well-informed soon found out that the Immortal Master was in the square of the Tianque Realm.

The high-profile appearance of Immortal Qinglian earlier was intended to let his whereabouts be known.

Unfortunately, there was a formation activated in the square, and a barrier blocking the way, so no one could see the situation inside. The disciples, feeling a little disappointed, had to rush back to Hehuan Palace again to watch the battle while waiting.

Everyone hoped that the Immortal Qinglian would come to the Hehuan Palace, preferably to the main hall, to watch the performance of his favorite little disciple in the secret realm.

Everyone chose to ignore the fact that Qinglian Immortal Venerable was a powerful being in the Tribulation Realm. If he wanted to watch Ning Jiasheng's performance, he didn't need a carrier like the Water Mirror.

He Ling was walking through dense bushes in the Jindan area. Suddenly, she stopped, frowned, and asked in her heart, "Why has the demonic energy in this secret realm suddenly weakened? What happened?"

The inner demon laughed strangely twice, and praised in a tone that didn't make people feel happy, "You are indeed sharp, you are really a good seedling."

After praising it, he didn't directly answer He Ling's question, but threw it back to her, "Since you have discovered it, why don't you guess why?"

He Ling felt that the inner demon looked a little strange now, as if it was affected by something. She could feel some of the inner demon's emotional fluctuations.

This instantly alerted He Ling. She gripped her sword tightly and silently asked in her heart, "What happened? Why are you acting so abnormally?"

The inner demon's laughter echoed in her sea of consciousness, with a subtle tremor, like excitement and fear. "Oh? Abnormal? Perhaps. Don't you think this change means a new beginning?"

He Ling frowned slightly. The demons would not show such emotions for no reason.

Her gaze was as calm as water, her thoughts racing like a shuttle as she methodically analyzed, "The demonic energy within the secret realm has weakened. There are only two possible reasons. First, those transcendentally powerful saints within the immortal sect have already taken action, using their immense magical powers to purify the pervasive demonic energy. Second, it's highly likely that an even larger and more mysterious force is secretly manipulating everything, causing such a significant change in the demonic energy."

After hearing He Ling's well-reasoned analysis, the Inner Demon's previously unbridled laughter gradually subsided. However, a moment later, it adopted a chilling, eerie, and deep tone, saying, "You're right, but there are still some omissions. This change in demonic energy is by no means simply attributable to the actions of the Immortal Sect. In fact..."

Before he could finish his words, the inner demon suddenly changed his tone: "Someone is coming!"

In reality, He Ling didn't need the inner demon to remind her. With her incredibly sharp perception, she had already sensed someone approaching. Furthermore, judging by the messages they conveyed, their attitude seemed quite friendly.

You know, the cultivation method that He Ling is currently using requires the "help" of many people. Since she has unexpectedly met these people at this moment, the topic of her unfinished conversation with the inner demon can only be put aside for the time being.

The most urgent task is to follow the trend and see if we can integrate into this team smoothly.

He Ling slowly emerged from the dense undergrowth, her figure lonesome beneath the dappled shadows. Her gaze was resolute, and despite facing a team comprised of elites from various sects, she held no fear. She knew that the team's leader, Bi Heng, was not optimistic about a disciple like her who had just reached the Jindan stage. However, his arrogance couldn't mask the fact that He Ling wasn't from an aristocratic family, which earned her a place on the team.

Bi Heng, this name represents strength and status in the sect. His eyes revealed obvious disdain, as if to say, "How dare you, a newly promoted Jindan disciple, stand with me?" He looked at He Ling, a mocking smile on his face. "Oh? Are you the He Ling who just advanced to the Jindan stage? I've heard of you, but I thought you would be training in a safer place, rather than taking risks with us veterans."

He Ling smiled faintly, her eyes revealing no sign of retreat, but rather an unyielding tenacity. "Brother Bi Heng, although I'm a recent Jindan cultivator, I also have my own goals and aspirations. I believe that as long as we unite, we can achieve greater success in the secret realm. Furthermore, I'm not from an aristocratic family, which gives us more in common, doesn't it?"

Bi Heng snorted coldly, his eyes sweeping over He Ling, as if assessing her worth. He didn't completely believe He Ling, but he had to admit that there was some truth to what she said. His gaze finally stopped at He Ling's face, and then he slowly said, "Okay, you can follow us, but don't hold us back. If you can prove your worth, we might consider deeper cooperation."

He Ling nodded. She knew this was just the beginning and she needed to prove herself through actual actions. "Thank you, Brother Bi Heng. I won't let you down."

Bi Heng didn't say anything more. He waved his hand, signaling the team to move on. He Ling followed the team silently, her eyes flashing with thought. She knew she needed to find an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow her to show her strength.

In the following time, He Ling actively participated in the team's actions, helped the team solve many problems, and gradually won the respect of some disciples. Although Bi Heng's attitude towards her was still cold, he did not openly question He Ling's ability.

During a battle against a demon beast, He Ling demonstrated her prowess. Her movements were swift and decisive, her swordsmanship sharp and accurate. Under her leadership, the team successfully defeated a powerful demon beast and obtained valuable resources.

After the battle, Bi Heng looked at He Ling, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to be so capable. Well, from now on, you are a member of our team."

He Ling smiled and nodded. She knew that she had taken the first step towards success. But she did not let her guard down. She knew that the game had just begun and she needed more patience and wisdom to survive in this world full of competition and confrontation.

He Ling's heart is filled with determination. She knows she must be doubly cautious and explore more methods to enhance her strength. Her gaze is determined, determined to forge her own path with her own strength, whether the path lies between immortals and demons. In this world filled with uncertainty and danger, He Ling will face every challenge with her wisdom and courage.
