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

“Master, I have thoroughly investigated the terrain of the Starfall Mountains.” Phantom returned from outside and said with a solemn expression, “The mountains are indeed filled with powerful restrictions, and the people of the Dark Star Pavilion are guarding them very tightly.”

Lu Lingxi stood at the entrance of the cave, gazing at the faintly visible Starfall Mountain Range in the distance, a resolute glint in her eyes, "No matter how dangerous it is, I must obtain the Star Grass."

“Master,” Huan Yue said softly, “I just spotted some people from the Dark Star Pavilion nearby. They seem to be looking for something.”

Zhu Yin frowned slightly. "They must be looking for us. It seems we can't stay here any longer."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached. Phantom and Phantom Moon immediately stood alertly in front of Lu Lingxi Yao. A dark figure darted out from the woods; it was the Dark Star Pavilion member who had been chasing them earlier.

"Found it!" The man grinned maliciously, condensing a ball of black spiritual energy in his hand and blasting it towards the cave.

Lu Lingxi Yao waved her right hand, shattering the black spiritual energy. Huan Yue's figure flashed, transforming into a blue whirlwind, instantly arriving in front of that person. A raging flame ignited in her palm, and she struck the other person's chest hard.

The man groaned and staggered backward, only to see the phantom appear silently behind him, with countless vines bursting from the ground and tightly binding him.

"Speak! What exactly does Dark Star Pavilion want?" Lu Lingxi asked coldly.

The man sneered, "You won't get anything out of me!" With that, he suddenly bit down on the poison hidden in his teeth, his body instantly stiffening and his breath fading away.

"Master, be careful!" Phantom suddenly exclaimed. The corpse began to emit an eerie black light, and a powerful demonic energy burst forth from its body.

Zhu Yin's expression changed drastically. "This is bad! It's a self-destruction of demonic poison!"

Lu Lingxi Yao immediately unleashed her light-elemental spiritual power, forming a light shield to protect everyone. With a loud bang, the corpse exploded into pieces, and countless black mists carrying demonic poison scattered in all directions.

“This demonic poison…” A hint of shock flashed in Lu Lingxi’s eyes, “It’s exactly the same as the one in Rong Zhi’s body!”

Zhu Yin's expression was solemn. "It seems that Dark Star Pavilion is indeed related to the demonic poison that Young Master Nalan is suffering from. We must act as soon as possible. Based on my understanding of demonic poison, although Young Master Nalan's poison is temporarily stable, the effect of the medicinal bath will become weaker and weaker."

Lu Lingxi nodded. "We'll set off for the Starfall Mountains tonight. Huan Yue, you'll be in charge of scouting; Huan Ying, you'll provide cover from the shadows; and Zhu Yin, I'd appreciate your assistance."

"Don't worry, Master," Phantom Moon and Phantom Shadow said in unison, "We will definitely help you obtain the Star Grass!"

As night deepened, a crescent moon hung in the sky, casting a cool, clear light. The figures of the four people were faintly visible in the moonlight as they sped towards the Starfall Mountains.

At this moment, the Vermilion Bird inside the Kunlun Ring gazed at everything outside, clenching its fists. "Master, you must be safe..."

Ling Shu gently patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, Master is so powerful, he will definitely be fine. The most important thing for you now is to recover from your injuries so that you can play your greatest role when Master needs you."

Zhuque nodded, closed her eyes, and began to regulate her breathing. Her injuries were still slowly healing, but she knew that if her master were in danger, she would rush out to help without hesitation!

The Starfall Mountain Range stands majestically, its peaks piercing the clouds. Rich spiritual energy flows through the mountains, forming strange curtains of light. Lu Lingxi and her group hide in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, observing the situation on the mountain.

“Master,” Huan Yue said softly, “I just checked and there are at least three restrictions on the mountain, and there are Dark Star Pavilion members guarding it at intervals.”

Lu Lingxi nodded, her gaze falling on an area on the mountainside that shimmered with starlight. "That should be where the Star Grass grows."

“That’s right,” Zhu Yin said. “Star Grass needs to absorb the power of stars to grow, and that area happens to have a large amount of star power gathered there.”

Just then, Phantom's expression suddenly hardened. "Someone's coming!"

Several dark figures swept down from the mountain, led by a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe. His cold gaze swept across the surroundings. "Strange, I clearly sensed someone breaking into the barrier..."

Lu Lingxi, Yao and the others held their breath and focused, as the phantom had already quietly released the power of the Demon Blood Vine, completely concealing their auras.

"Sir, could it be an illusion?" one of his men asked.

The middle-aged man shook his head. "Impossible. The barrier of the Starfall Mountains never malfunctions. Continue searching!"

Just then, a violent fluctuation suddenly came from the mountaintop, followed by a blinding beam of light shooting into the sky.

"This is bad!" The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. "There's a problem with the main formation! Quick, go back and check!"

Several dark figures swiftly swept towards the mountaintop. Lu Lingxi Yao turned to look at Zhu Yin, "This is…"

Zhu Yin smiled slightly, "I set up a small array on the mountaintop before I came, which will now divert their attention."

“Master,” Huan Yue’s eyes flashed with excitement, “this is our chance!”

Lu Lingxi nodded. "Huan Yue, you go ahead and scout; Huan Ying, you stay behind and provide support; Zhu Yin, we'll act together."

The four quickly split up. Huan Yue transformed into a blue whirlwind, scouting ahead and creating chaos whenever she spotted members of the Dark Star Pavilion. Huan Ying, meanwhile, remained hidden in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.

Lu Lingxi and Zhu Yin continued upwards and soon arrived at the area shimmering with starlight. However, at that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out:

"I knew you would come."

Mo Xinghe's figure emerged from the void, holding a jet-black longsword in his hand, the blade wreathed in dense demonic energy.

"So you were waiting here after all," Lu Lingxi said coldly.

Mo Xinghe sneered, "The master is right. As long as we wait here, you will surely walk into our trap."

"My lord?" A hint of doubt flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes.

"Heh," Mo Xinghe chuckled coldly, "You'll see him soon, but before that..."

Before he finished speaking, his longsword had already slashed out, and a jet-black blade aura pierced through the air. Lu Lingxi Yao's Flying Snow Sword instantly met it, and the nine elements of spiritual power flowed through the sword, shattering the blade aura.

"Master, be careful!" Huan Yue suddenly exclaimed. Several dark figures suddenly appeared behind Mo Xinghe, each holding a black bone mirror.

"Form the array!" Mo Xinghe commanded, and several bone mirrors simultaneously emitted a strange black light, forming a huge array that enveloped Lu Lingxi, Yao, and the others.

"This is..." Zhu Yin's expression changed, "A demonic poison array!"
