Junior sister took first place again

After Wen Xingzhou finished speaking, Ye Qingge pondered for a moment, his eyes lingering on Wen Xingzhou's face, as if pondering the deeper meaning of his words.

She knew very well that Wen Xingzhou's concerns were not groundless. The Ji family had been making many small moves in secret, but now everyone was tacitly maintaining superficial peace.

Although Ji Tang's motives are not pure, now that she is here, she will do her best to kill the demons. She is a force that cannot be underestimated.

"Immortal Lord Wen's concerns are not without reason." Ye Qingge spoke slowly, his voice imbued with deep meaning. "We can't easily accept Ji Tang's request, but we can't completely refuse it either. After all, she is a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and her status and position are not to be underestimated."

"I also know that she previously sneaked into the secret realm to follow your junior sister. Now that she has returned, it is quite appropriate to place her under your command and supervision."

Such an arrangement can not only ensure the safety of the Tianque Realm, but also avoid direct conflict with the Ji family.

"Thank you, True Lord." Wen Xingzhou bowed and said sincerely, "I will personally dispatch capable personnel to ensure that Ji Tang does not pose any threat to the Tianque Realm."

Ye Qingge nodded slightly, her autumn-water eyes slowly turning to the other generals. Her tone was as firm as a rock, sonorous and powerful: "Everyone, the situation we are facing now is as volatile and unpredictable as the wind and clouds. We must always be vigilant as if we were facing a formidable enemy."

The generals in the tent nodded in agreement, knowing the profound meaning of Ye Qingge's words.

The demons are their biggest enemy at present, and they must be eliminated as soon as possible to ensure the peace of the Tianque Realm.

Ji Tang was incorporated into the Tianque Realm's guard team as she wished, and dozens of people were assigned to her for deployment.

Ji Tang paid her respects to all the superiors and Zhao Yu Zhenjun in the camp. When she saw Wen Xingzhou, her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, her blood surged like a tide, and her cheeks instantly flushed with a faint blush like the sunset.

However, before she could figure out what was going on, she was asked to leave because the generals had important matters to discuss.

After Ji Tang completed all the procedures, the next day, she put on the uniform light armor of the Tianque Realm guards and prepared to visit her direct superior, Wen Xingzhou, alone again.

Ji Tang took a deep breath and slowly restrained his aggressive demeanor.

She knew that at this moment, no matter how much pride and resentment she felt, she couldn't easily show it. At least from the outside, she needed to show appropriate respect and humility.

After all, she knew very well that her cultivation was far inferior to that of Wen Xingzhou, a senior with unfathomable strength.

What's more, he is now his subordinate, which means that he has to be extra careful and cautious in his attitude and words.

However, when Ji Tang saw Wen Xingzhou again, ripples in her heart, which she had tried hard to suppress, still emerged involuntarily.

The feeling of her heart beating suddenly faster and her blood rushing up instantly came again like a tide, almost making it difficult for her to control herself.

But Ji Tang was not an ordinary woman after all. After some struggle, she quickly suppressed these chaotic emotional fluctuations.

She suppressed her emotions and spoke in a calm tone, "Immortal Lord Wen, I am Ji Tang. True Lord Zhaoyu has agreed to allow me to garrison the Tianque Realm. From now on, I will obey your command."

Although Ji Tang tried his best to control his emotions and tone, there was still a hint of imperceptible stiffness in his words.

Obviously, for her, who has always been proud and arrogant, it is really difficult for her to be placed in such a low position all of a sudden.

However, as the saying goes, circumstances force one to do more, and no matter how reluctant she was, she could only force herself to adapt to this new situation as quickly as possible.

Wen Xingzhou, who was standing opposite, just nodded slightly in response.

At first, a barely perceptible hint of indifference flashed across his deep, lake-like eyes. However, in the blink of an eye, this hint of indifference was quickly replaced by a warm and gentle smile.

He knew Ji Tang's identity and background, and was also aware that her arrival was no accident.

"Ji Xianjun, welcome. Tianque Realm is a place with great responsibility. I believe your joining us will bring new vitality to us."

Wen Xingzhou's voice was gentle yet powerful. His words revealed his respect for Ji Tang while retaining the authority of a superior.

An inexplicable emotion surged in Ji Tang's heart, and this feeling made her confused and uneasy.

For some reason, her heartbeat would accelerate whenever she spoke to this sword immortal disciple.

Ji Tang calls herself a charm cultivator and is always adept at matters of lust. Her beauty and charm are her sharpest weapons.

However, in front of Wen Xingzhou, she actually felt a little hesitant, which made her both surprised and uneasy.

She tried to attribute the accelerated heartbeat to Wen Xingzhou's beauty. After all, hedonism was the norm in the world of cultivation, and she, as a charm cultivator, was no stranger to the temptation of beauty.

She thought that she was coveting Wen Xingzhou's looks. After all, his face, which was more beautiful than those damn fox demons, and his good figure were indeed attractive.

But Ji Tang's pride made her unwilling to admit that she was so impatient, but the doubts deep in her heart were like a thorn that made it difficult for her to ignore.

"Wen Xianjun, I've long heard of your swordsmanship and grace." Ji Tang tried to maintain her usual arrogance, a barely perceptible tremor in her voice. "Seeing you today, I can see that you're truly worthy of your reputation."

Wen Xingzhou smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of understanding, as if he had already seen through Ji Tang's thoughts.

Of course he knew that Ji Tang didn't really have any feelings for him, but was just harboring deep hatred for him.

She didn't know that this strong physiological reaction was actually due to an unspeakable hostility towards herself deep in her heart.

Deep in those forgotten memories, the battle was so intense that her body remembered the tension and anger of a life-and-death struggle.

Although her memory was sealed, the memory of her body was like a hidden scar, causing a dull pain whenever she got close to Wen Xingzhou.

Wen Xingzhou, who knew everything, said politely but at a distance, "Ji Xianjun, you are too kind. My swordsmanship is nothing to be proud of."

Wen Xingzhou's voice was gentle and polite. His attitude was neither overly humble nor arrogant, maintaining just the right distance. "If Immortal Lord Ji is interested, I would be happy to exchange some advice with you someday if there's an opportunity."

Ji Tang's eyebrows raised slightly. She hadn't expected Wen Xingzhou to handle it so calmly. She had thought that as someone from an aristocratic family, such a provocation would reveal his flaws, but she hadn't expected him to handle it so easily.

She was secretly alert in her heart, knowing that she could not underestimate the eldest disciple of the world's number one sword master.

"Wen Xianjun is too modest. Your swordsmanship is world-renowned. I am merely curious."

Ji Tang suddenly smiled again, trying to hide his true intentions and inner doubts in this way, "However, since Wen Xianjun is so polite, I can't force it."

Wen Xingzhou smiled gently, his eyes revealing a hint of depth, as if he could see into Ji Tang's heart, "Ji Xianjun, you are too polite. I welcome your guidance at any time."

Ji Tang maintained due courtesy in front of Wen Xingzhou, but the doubts in his heart surged like an undercurrent.

She didn't understand why she had such emotional fluctuations towards Wen Xingzhou. This feeling of being out of control made her feel uneasy.

She tried to blame this feeling on Wen Xingzhou's appearance, but deep down, she knew that was not the whole reason.

Seeing that she was becoming increasingly abnormal, and Wen Xingzhou was a master two realms higher than her, Ji Tang returned to business to avoid him discovering anything unusual.

"Wen Xianjun, since I have been assigned to the Tianque Realm's guard, I will do my best to contribute to the safety of the Tianque Realm."

There was firmness in Ji Tang's voice and unquestionable determination flashed in his eyes.

Wen Xingzhou nodded slightly and praised, "Ji Xianjun, your joining is a powerful force for the Tianque Realm. The threat of the demons is approaching, and we need the strength of every cultivator."

"Wen Xianjun is right. The demons are our common enemy. I will do my best to fight alongside my fellow Taoists in the Tianque Realm."

Wen Xingzhou smiled gently, "Very good, Immortal Lord Ji. I have arranged some tasks for you. I hope you can familiarize yourself with the environment and task procedures of the Tianque Realm as soon as possible."

Ji Tang nodded. She knew that this was her chance to demonstrate her abilities and also the most convenient opportunity for her to understand the situation in the secret realm.

"Master Wen, please rest assured. I will familiarize myself with everything as soon as possible." Ji Tang said confidently.

In the days that followed, she began to participate in patrolling and guarding the Tianque Realm. Her performance was outstanding, and she quickly earned the respect of the other guards.

But there was always a doubt in her heart, that was her feeling towards Wen Xingzhou.

Whenever she saw him, her heartbeat would speed up, and this feeling made her confused and uneasy. While carrying out the mission, Ji Tang also secretly observed Wen Xingzhou, trying to find out the source of her feeling.

Perhaps it had something to do with her sealed memories, but she couldn't be sure.

She could only explore cautiously, hoping to find clues to solve the mystery in her heart.

As time went by, Ji Tang gradually adapted to the life in Tianque Realm. During a night patrol, Ji Tang accidentally discovered some abnormal signs, as if something was secretly spying on Tianque Realm.

Ji Tang immediately became alert and followed quietly.

She followed carefully, her figure looming in the night like a ghost.

As Ji Tang went deeper, she discovered a hidden cave where shadows seemed to be swaying.

Ji Tang took a deep breath and slowly approached the cave, ready to find out what was inside.

Ji Tang approached the cave quietly. Her movements were light and cautious, trying not to make any noise.

As a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, her breath-concealing skills were already quite advanced, but in this place that could become a battlefield at any time, Ji Tang did not dare to be careless at all.

Once discovered, not only will your plan fail, but it may also bring unnecessary trouble.

The inside of the cave was dark and damp, and there was a faint demonic aura in the air, which made Ji Tang frown.

She explored carefully, trying to find the source of the evil energy.

As she went deeper into the cave, Ji Tang discovered several monsters.

Ji Tang was startled, realizing that the situation might be much more serious than she had anticipated. She had to bring this information back to Wen Xingzhou, but she also had to be more careful to avoid alerting the enemy.

Ji Tang used her cultivation to quietly eliminate several secret sentries. Her movements were clean and neat, and did not arouse any vigilance.

She continued to go deeper into the cave until she found a secret demon stronghold. There were many demons gathered here, and they seemed to be planning something.

Carefully hiding in the shadows of the cave, she witnessed a horrifying blood sacrifice ritual.

Deep in the cave, a group of demons surrounded a huge stone altar. The altar was engraved with strange runes and emitted a dark red light, as if it had been stained with blood.

In the center of the altar, a monk bound by iron chains was being hung high up. Ji Tang recognized the Tianque Realm guard uniform on him. Now his face was full of despair and fear.

The monsters held sharp bone knives and chanted evil spells while cutting deep wounds on the monks' bodies.

Blood gushed out from the wound and flowed along the grooves of the altar to the bottom of the altar, where there was a strange magic circle that was greedily absorbing the blood.

As the blood was lost, the monk's life force was rapidly diminishing, while the magic circle on the altar became brighter and brighter, emitting a heart-pounding evil power.

The monsters' eyes flashed with greed and fanaticism in the darkness, as if they were waiting for the awakening of some power.

Ji Tang continued to lurk in the shadows of the cave, watching the blood sacrifice ceremony in front of him with cold eyes.

The magic circle on the altar emitted a strange light, and the screams of the bound Tianque Realm guard echoed in the cave. Blood gushed out of his body and was greedily absorbed by the magic circle.

There was no trace of pity on Ji Tang's face. She was no stranger to such cruel scenes. Her family, the Ji family, had long been secretly colluding with the demons, and it was not the first time she had seen such a scene.

Her eyes were sharp and she noticed that the demons did not show any improvement in their cultivation during the blood sacrifice, which made her feel moved.

Ji Tang realized that the purpose of this blood sacrifice was not to enhance the power of the demons, but had other more hidden purposes.

As the blood sacrifice progressed, she felt a powerful force surging out from the magic circle. Instead of spreading into the surrounding air, it seemed to be guided by some mysterious force and passed into the depths of the secret realm - the Cangwu Secret Realm.

Ji Tang's mind turned quickly, she realized that this might be her chance to understand the secret of Cangwu Secret Realm. She knew that Cangwu Secret Realm hid huge secrets and power.

If these secrets could be mastered, it would undoubtedly be a huge advantage for the Ji family.

She decided not to take action for the time being, but to continue observing, looking for an opportunity that would allow her to obtain more intelligence.

A cold light flashed in Ji Tang's eyes. She didn't need to play the role of justice here. Her goal was to gain power and secrets, not to save those insignificant guards.
