Junior sister took first place again

He Ling stood in the secret room, gazing out the window at the gradually setting sun, her mind racing. The Immortal Sect Competition wasn't just a test of strength; every step she took had to be cautious; any negligence could lead to total defeat.

She slowly turned around and walked towards the table in the center of the secret room, her fingers lightly brushing over the map on the table.

The location of Qingzhou is clearly marked. It will be the venue for the Immortal Gate Competition and the place where all forces will gather.

"Time is running out." He Ling whispered to herself, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

She quickly packed up the items in the secret room, making sure no traces were left. Then, she pushed open the door and walked towards the courtyard where the master of the sect was.

Yang Ding, the leader of Changxing Sect, usually stays at home and rarely gets involved in trivial matters within the sect, but whenever major events occur, his decisions are always convincing.

He Ling came to Yang Ding's courtyard and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Yang Ding's voice came from inside the house, low and powerful.

He Ling pushed the door open and saw Yang Ding sitting at the desk, holding an ancient book in his hand, his eyes deep and calm.

He looked up at He Ling and nodded slightly: "He Ling, it's so late, what's the matter?"

He Ling bowed respectfully, with a hint of urgency in her tone: "Master, I have something to report."

Yang Ding put down the book in his hand and motioned for her to continue.

"The Immortal Sect Competition is about to begin. I want to leave for Qingzhou as soon as possible to avoid delays." He Ling's tone was sincere. "Also, Qingzhou is a long way away, and we may encounter some unexpected situations along the way. Leaving early will give us more time to deal with them."

Yang Ding pondered for a moment and nodded. "You have a point. The Immortal Sect Competition cannot afford to fail, so setting off early is a safe move. In that case, tomorrow morning, you and Yi'er will lead the disciples to Qingzhou."

He Ling was delighted, but remained respectful on the surface: "Yes, Master. I will definitely live up to your trust and lead everyone to Qingzhou safely."

Yang Ding nodded slightly, his eyes filled with approval. "He Ling, I have high hopes for you in this competition. I hope you can achieve something in the competition and win glory for Changxingmen."

He Ling lowered her head, a complex light flashing in her eyes: "Disciple will do her best to live up to the expectations of the Sect Master."

After leaving Yang Ding's courtyard, He Ling's steps became much lighter. She knew that her plan had taken a crucial step.

Next, as long as she arrives in Qingzhou safely, she will have the opportunity to show her skills in the Immortal Sect Competition and complete the task assigned by the God.

After returning to her residence, He Ling quickly packed her bags and prepared for her trip the next morning. In the stillness of the night, the voice of her inner demon resounded in her mind.

"He Ling, is everything going well?" The inner demon's voice was low and cold.

He Ling nodded slightly and responded in a low voice: "The Sect Master has agreed that we can set off early. We can leave for Qingzhou early tomorrow morning."

The inner demon's voice was filled with a hint of satisfaction. "Very good. You must be careful on your trip to Qingzhou. The Immortal Sect Competition is filled with experts, and any negligence could lead to failure."

A ruthless look flashed in He Ling's eyes: "Don't worry, I'm ready. No matter who it is, no one can stop my determination to take first place."

The voice of the inner demon gradually dissipated, and He Ling's mind returned to calm. She stood by the window, looking at the stars in the night sky, her heart filled with anticipation and anxiety about the future.

The next morning, the disciples of Changxing Sect were ready to go. He Ling and Yuwen Yi stood at the front of the team, listening to the instructions of their master and the elders.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone bowed and bid farewell to their teacher.

"Let's go!" With Yuwen Yi's order, the Changxingmen team set out on the journey to Qingzhou in a mighty manner.
