The vicious female supporting role in the book cultivation world is crazy and involuntarily

It took nearly a day to finally circle the entire Ming Palace City.

The city walls were carved with black bird motifs every five meters or so, and the armor of the demon soldiers patrolling the city was also etched with images of black birds and a sharp sword. Furthermore, while the city center should be the most prosperous, the main streets narrowed as they approached the Ming Palace, until even pedestrians became sparse. Regardless of demon, they hurried past the Ming Palace, fearing any danger.

Lu Zhaozhao was strolling on the street, recalling the details of the route he had seen.

She opened her palm, revealing a neatly folded piece of yellow paper.

This piece of paper is posted on the wall next to the Ming Palace, with one piece every two steps. It says: Disputes between humans and demons are getting more and more serious. The Demon Lord wants to select a team of personal guards to lead him directly. Anyone with any identity is welcome to sign up.

Her personal guards would definitely be able to follow her, making it easier for her to investigate the situation. However, the demons were physically strong, so it would be extremely difficult for her to be selected. The most urgent task was to improve her strength first.

Lu Zhaozhao shrugged his shoulders and looked up at the sky.

She has been stuck in the late Jindan stage for more than three years, and she doesn't know when she will be able to break through this barrier.

After finding a place to stay, Lu Zhaozhao began to inquire about the selection of personal guards.

The Thirteenth Lady and the Butcher whom she met when she first came to the Ming Palace happened to live next to where she was staying, and they became neighbors after a few visits.

Lu Zhaozhao said that she had sneaked out. The Nüba tribe did not like to contact the outside world, but she was a wild person. She heard that Minggong City was the most prosperous place in the western border, so she wanted to come and take a look. She also heard that the Demon Lord was recruiting personal guards. If she could achieve some fame, she would receive less scolding from the Hui tribe in the future.

These words left the two of them stunned. The butcher immediately patted the pork leg in front of him, took Lu Zhaozhao in his arms, and said boldly: "Don't worry, girl. I, Tu San, am the warmest-hearted person. You can stay here with peace of mind. I will find out some news for you."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said proudly: "There is nothing in this Ming Palace that I, Tu San, don't know."

Thirteenth Lady, who had changed into a new outfit today, said in a sweet voice: "Since the young lady is my guest, there is no reason for me not to help her."

"How do you want to help? Are you going to twist your waist and stick to others?" Tu San retorted to her.

"Hey, what are you talking about? I am upright and honest, so why do you care how I help you? But you can only sell that piece of broken meat."

"At least this is a skill!"

"I can change my skin too!"

……

The sounds were heard one after another. Lu Zhaozhao secretly thought that something was wrong. This pair of famous lovers had started fighting again.

She looked left and right, not knowing where to start. She sighed and went out.

Fortunately, although they quarrel every day, they are very good at getting things done.

"There is no limit on identity this time, and there are indeed a lot of people who have signed up, and they are a mixed bunch. But although there are some ordinary monsters with some strength, most of them are from the eight major clans." Tu San said to Lu Zhaozhao while chopping meat.

"Eight major clans?" This was a new concept for Lu Zhaozhao.

"You don't even know about the eight clans that the Eight Directions Commander corresponds to." Shisan Niang said nonchalantly, touching her newly painted nails. "Yes, there were originally nine clans, but you Nüba didn't want to be involved in that, so it became eight clans. It's normal that you don't know."

"But then again, why are you Nüba so secluded? You are so powerful and your tribe is not small. As long as you come out of this Ming Palace, there will definitely be a place for you."

Shisan Niang looked at her curiously, her eyes sparkling, and she seemed to be really interested.

Lu Zhaozhao curled his lips and said, "It's not that we don't want to come out, but there are some special reasons."

"What, what? Tell me quickly!" Shisanniang pulled her arm and shook it. Tu San also put down the bone scraper in his hand and looked at her.

Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips and said, "The Nüba clan is naturally faster in cultivation than ordinary demons. They value bloodlines and never intermarry with outsiders, which is why they are exceptionally united. Even in seclusion, the name Nüba is known throughout the Western Territory. However, our clan has a secret that cannot be revealed to outsiders, and it is for this reason that we have chosen to remain in seclusion."

Lu Zhaozhao paused here, and Shisan Niang and Tu San stared at her with wide eyes.

"Legend has it that thousands of years ago, a great war took place, and the ancestor of Nüba also participated in this struggle. She single-handedly fought against millions of troops, and after months of fierce fighting, she finally emerged victorious. But although she defeated everyone, she was also seriously injured and her magic power was completely lost. Wherever she went, the spiritual energy was automatically absorbed by her, and all things were exhausted. As a last resort, she sought refuge in a place with abundant spiritual energy."

"This is really..." Shisan Niang sighed, holding her chin.

Tu San also looked at her silently for a long time, and suddenly seemed to react: "But aren't you also a Nüba? Why don't you have..."

Shisanniang seemed to be awakened and sat up straight: "Yes! You are also Nüba."

Lu Zhaozhao rolled his eyes and flicked their foreheads at each of them: "What is my cultivation level, and what is the ancestor's cultivation level? How can they be the same!"

"That's right." Shisanniang's waist slumped again, and she hooked a strand of hair and played with it in her hand. "So your cultivation speed is so fast, it seems to be because of this."

Lu Zhaozhao nodded: "You can say that."

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to have anything to ask, she continued, "So, can we continue talking about the selection?"

"Oh oh." Shisan Niang reacted and smiled awkwardly, "Your story is so interesting, I had forgotten about it."

"Where was I just saying... Oh! The eight major tribes, right?! For this selection, the eight major tribes from the Western Territory will definitely be here. In the city today, members of the Gu Diao, Lu Wu, and Tai Feng tribes have already settled down near the Ming Palace. The Jimeng and Di people should be arriving around tomorrow."

While Shisanniang was catching her breath, Tu San added, "The Yupei, Lushu, and Guhuo Bird tribes will probably arrive soon as well."

"Then do you know the strength of the candidates from the eight major clans who will participate in this selection?" Lu Zhaozhao touched his chin and sorted out the information.

"Each of the eight major clans commands a demon army, and the capable ones have already taken root there. Besides, those old immortals and some of the stronger ones also have to guard their fiefdoms." Shisan Niang rubbed her eye sockets, trying to firm up the skin on her face. "So, the ones coming this time are probably some young people from the clan, probably around the same age as you?"

Shisanniang looked at Lu Zhaozhao twice, somewhat uncertain.

Tu San then added, "Today, a man from Luwu came to my shop to buy meat and got into a fight with someone nearby. That man had just entered the Golden Core Realm, but was slapped away by Luwu's men. I think he must be in the late Golden Core Realm or even the Nascent Soul Realm."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao felt a sense of urgency. Although she was only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage, this seemingly small gap in strength was far more significant. If the Golden Core stage signified a cultivator of considerable power, then the Nascent Soul stage represented the ability to become a powerful individual.

Therefore, Lu Zhaozhao felt extremely troubled by the fact that the only emerging competitor was Yuanying.

After bidding farewell to Tu San and Shisan Niang, she sat by the window and thought about her cultivation.
