Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

Holding the Star Token, Lu Lingxi stood before the Star Pavilion's massive teleportation array, where ancient runes shimmered with a deep blue light.

With a worried look in her phoenix eyes, Zhuque said softly, "Master, I have a feeling that things are not so simple."

“I know,” Lu Lingxi’s eyes flashed with determination, “but for Rong Zhi, we have to take any risk.”

The moment the Star Token fell into the center of the magic array, dazzling starlight poured down like a galaxy, instantly engulfing the two of them. When the light dissipated, they found themselves in an unfamiliar world.

The sky above the Azure Continent was like the finest jade, with dense spiritual energy turning into wisps of mist that drifted through the air. However, just as the two had steadied themselves, a powerful restrictive force enveloped them like a net from heaven and earth.

"Oh no! The Star Soul-Locking Array!" Zhuque exclaimed.

Lu Lingxi felt the nine elements of spiritual power within her body instantly spiral out of control, as if bound by invisible chains, rampaging through her meridians.

More than ten figures arrived in a flash, surrounding the two. The blue-robed man at the head of the group curled up a sinister smile: "They've taken the bait after all."

“Mo Xinghe!” Lu Lingxi gritted her teeth, recognizing him as her opponent from the assessment.

“Clever girl,” Mo Xinghe’s eyes flashed with cold light, “but this time, you can’t escape. The master has been waiting for you for a long time.”

"So it was all a setup from the beginning," Lu Lingxi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Those tests were just a way to get me the Star Token?"

"You think the Star Pavilion's assessment is so easy?" Mo Xinghe grinned maliciously, forming hand seals and intensifying the power of the array. "The Master is determined to obtain the Void Star Dew that you possess!"

Flames surged around the Vermilion Bird, but it was suppressed by the formation like a candle in the wind. Just then, the Taixu Star Dew in the Kunlun Ring suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and a stellar power tore the formation apart like a sharp sword, opening a crack.

Lu Lingxi seized the opportunity instantly, her nine elemental spiritual energies surging wildly within her body, transforming into a nine-colored pillar of light that shot into the sky. The Flying Snow Sword emitted a clear, resonant dragon's roar, its sword light cascading like a silver river, blasting a massive gap in the encirclement.

"Want to run?"

Mo Xinghe sneered and summoned a pitch-black bone mirror. Runes flowed across the mirror's surface, emitting a captivating black light. A powerful suction force swept in like a black hole, even distorting space itself.

At the critical moment, a seven-colored flame descended from the sky, like the wrath of a god, shattering the bone mirror. The Vermilion Bird spread its magnificent wings, and the seven-colored flame transformed into a natural barrier, blocking Mo Xinghe and the others.

"Master, run! I'll hold them off!" Zhuque's phoenix eyes burned with fighting spirit.

Lu Lingxi Yao's figure flashed, disappearing into the distance like a shooting star, followed by Mo Xinghe's furious roar: "Chase her! We can't let her escape!"

However, the Vermilion Bird's seven-colored flames were like an inextinguishable divine fire, blocking them firmly. "Want to pass? Get past me first!" The flames around the Vermilion Bird surged, transforming into a giant fire phoenix, radiating its oppressive aura.

Lu Lingxi Yao sped through the mountains and forests of the Azure Continent, with the sound of pursuit coming from behind. Suddenly, a strong sense of palpitation came over her, and she immediately stopped. Through the contract, she sensed that Zhuque was seriously injured.

"Vermilion Bird!" Lu Lingxi was anxious and was about to return when she sensed the Vermilion Bird's message.

"Master, hurry... I'm alright. Mo Xinghe used a forbidden technique. Although I was seriously injured, I repelled them. I'll return to Kunlun Ring to recuperate now..."

A flash of red light appeared, and the Vermilion Bird transformed into a wisp of flame, disappearing into the Kunlun Ring. Lu Lingxi looked at the Kunlun Ring with heartache and whispered, "Lingshu, take good care of the Vermilion Bird."

"Don't worry, Master," Ling Shu's gentle voice rang out.

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared from the void. A handsome young man and a dashing man knelt on one knee, "Master!"

Lu Lingxi looked at the two people in front of her in surprise, "Phantom Moon? Phantom Shadow? You... have grown so much?"

The young Huan Yue raised his head, a faint smile on his delicate face. His emerald eyes were like the finest jade, and his long black hair was casually tied up with a blue ribbon. He wore a white robe, and his whole being exuded an otherworldly aura.

Phantom, dressed in a black outfit, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, had a angular face that carried a hint of fierceness, but softened when looking at Lu Lingxi.

“Master, we sensed that you were in danger, so we came out of the spirit beast space,” Huan Yue said softly.

Looking at the two people in front of her, Lu Lingxi Yao couldn't help but feel emotional. She remembered that when she subdued Huan Yue, he was just a little wolf cub who had just gained intelligence. When he transformed into human form, he was only eight or nine years old. Huan Ying was also her companion who had accompanied her as she grew up. Now they had both grown into such a large creature.

"Time flies..." Lu Lingxi sighed softly, "I'm no longer that twelve or thirteen-year-old girl."

"Master," Phantom smiled, "we will always stay by your side."

Lu Lingxi was about to speak when her expression suddenly turned serious. "Someone's coming!"

The three quickly disappeared into the shadows, only to see a group of men dressed in black galloping past, led by Mo Xinghe's subordinates.

"That damned Vermilion Bird actually injured Elder Mo!" someone said through gritted teeth.

"Never mind all that, the lord has ordered that we capture that woman. The Star Dew in her possession is of utmost importance to the lord!"

After they had gone some distance, Huan Yue said softly, "Master, their spies are probably everywhere on this Azure Continent."

Lu Lingxi nodded. "We need to find a safe place to stay first and find out what's going on here."

Just then, the sound of fighting came from afar. The three exchanged a glance and quietly approached...

The three approached the direction from which the fighting was coming, and saw several men in black attacking a man in white in an open space. The man held a green bamboo flute, and whenever the flute was played, streams of blue energy would sweep out and repel the attackers.

“Zhu Yin!” Lu Lingxi exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the familiar figure at a glance.

Upon hearing the call, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Yin's eyes. Suddenly, the bamboo flute in his hand emitted a sharp whistling sound, and the azure energy instantly transformed into countless tiny sword energies, forcing the surrounding men in black to retreat.

"How is Rong Zhi?" Lu Lingxi asked hurriedly.

“I was just about to come find you,” Zhu Yin said while fending off the attacks of the men in black. “Young Master Nalan’s condition has stabilized. He has left Wanyao Valley on business. Although I have given him the necessary medicinal herbs and he will take medicinal baths regularly, he is not in danger for the time being. However, we must find the antidote as soon as possible!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao's eyes flashed with pain. She swung her longsword and instantly repelled the two men in black. Huan Yue and Huan Ying also attacked at the same time, one controlling the elements of wind and fire, and the other controlling the vines to entwine them. They quickly repelled all the remaining men in black.

“These people are Mo Xinghe’s men,” Zhu Yin put away his bamboo flute, his expression grave. “They’ve been chasing me, seemingly trying to prevent me from finding you.”

“Mo Xinghe…” Lu Lingxi’s eyes flashed with a cold light, “He is related to the demonic poison in Rong Zhi’s body. This is probably all a setup.”

“That’s right,” Zhu Yin nodded. “I’ve found some clues. This demonic poison seems to be related to a mysterious organization on the Azure Continent that calls itself the ‘Dark Star Pavilion’.”

“Dark Star Pavilion?” Huan Yue frowned. “No wonder they are so obsessed with the Dew of the Void Stars.”

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from afar. Zhu Yin's expression changed: "Oh no, their reinforcements are here!"

"Follow me!" Zhu Yin waved his hand and led the three away quickly. They passed through a dense bamboo forest and arrived at a hidden cave.

“This is my temporary shelter,” Zhu Yin said, setting up a barrier at the cave entrance. “It should be safe for now.”

After entering the cave, Zhu Yin took out a jade slip. "This is the information I have gathered about the Dark Star Pavilion. Their headquarters is in the Starfall Mountain Range of the Azure Continent, and the Star Grass happens to grow there as well."

“Starfall Mountains…” A glint of light flashed in Lu Lingxi’s eyes. “It seems we have the same goal.”

“Master,” Phantom suddenly spoke, “how about I go and explore the Starfall Mountains first? With my speed, it’s the easiest way for me to come and go.”

Lu Lingxi was about to speak when Zhu Yin shook his head. "No, there are powerful restrictions in the Starfall Mountains. It would be extremely dangerous to go there rashly. We need to plan this carefully."

Just then, a fluctuation came from the Kunlun Ring, and the Vermilion Bird's voice rang out, "Master, I have recovered somewhat, please let me out."

"Your injury hasn't healed yet," Lu Lingxi said gently. "Rest well first."

"But…"

"Listen to your master," Ling Shu gently interrupted Zhu Que. "Your most important task right now is to recover from your injuries."

As night fell, a bonfire crackled in the cave. Everyone's face was grave. Zhu Yin looked at Lu Lingxi Yao and whispered, "Young Master Nalan keeps mentioning your name. He says he must stop you from taking that risk..."

Tears welled up in Lu Lingxi's eyes, but she stubbornly said, "I won't let him down. I must find the antidote!"
