The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

Lin Yitang didn't seem to care about this.

She already had a powerful backer, with True Monarch Xuanhui protecting her, so she was naturally safer than a true disciple of the Tianyin Sect.

Unfortunately, this dragged the Tianyin Sect into the mess. However, it is one of the top ten sects in the cultivation world, so it shouldn't be severely damaged because of an elder from the Tianxuan Sect. At most, it will be investigated.

If the Tianxuan Sect were to investigate, it would likely expose the fact that she was not a disciple of the Tianyin Sect.

But so be it, let it be exposed.

Now that her cultivation is stable and she has acquired resources, she is much stronger than before. Once she obtains the Yin-Yang Spirit Spring, she will be even stronger and will have a foothold in the cultivation world.

More importantly, with the Taique Sect as her backer, even the elders of the Tianxuan Sect wouldn't dare to cause her trouble easily.

The only thing to be resolved now is who should own this Yangling Spring.

At this point, all three of them realized the problem.

The reason the three of them ganged up on Zhao Qianyue was to fight for ownership of the Yangling Spring, wasn't it? Now that Zhao Qianyue is dead, it's their turn to fight for it!

However, since they had just risked their lives together and cooperated to defeat Zhao Qianyue, it was difficult for them to break off relations immediately, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

They all knew that the Yangling Spring was the most precious treasure in the entire secret realm. Whichever sect or individual obtained it would greatly enhance their strength. Furthermore, the next time they wanted to acquire it, they would have to wait decades, or even centuries, until the secret realm reopened.

By then, I was no longer in the Foundation Establishment stage. This was an opportunity not to be missed, for it would never come again!

In the pursuit of immortality, one must strive for it. Only through competition can one rise above others and advance further on the path to immortality! The Yangling Spring cannot be given to anyone else, not even a comrade with whom one has shared a life-or-death bond.

Thinking of this, Lu Jingyun first cupped his hands and spoke to Lin Yitang: "Junior Sister Lin, thank you for your help earlier. However, this Yangling Spring is a treasure in the Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm, and our Tianyan Sect is determined to obtain it."

“I know you’ve come for the Yangling Spring as well, but you’re only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, and your strength is significantly weaker than mine and Brother Wuwang’s. Why don’t you give us this opportunity? I promise that my Tianyan Sect will reward you handsomely once it’s done.”

Although Lu Jingyun's words were polite, his tone carried an undeniable firmness.

He knew Lin Yitang was no ordinary person, but given her cultivation level, he didn't believe she would become their enemy for the sake of the Yangling Spring.

However, to his surprise, Lin Yitang refused.

She smiled faintly and said, "Senior Brother Lu, I appreciate your kindness. But I also have my own plans regarding the Yang Spirit Spring. How about this: we each rely on our own abilities, and whoever obtains it can keep it?"

At the same time, Li Wuwang also spoke up: "Brother Lu, Junior Sister Lin is right. This Yangling Spring is an opportunity of the Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm, and it should be a fair competition. Besides, we have both witnessed Junior Sister Lin's strength, so she may not be without a chance."

Lu Jingyun was taken aback at first, then frowned.

He didn't expect that Li Wuwang would also stand on Lin Yitang's side.

Logically speaking, since they were both at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, dealing with Lin Yitang, who was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, should have been a piece of cake.

Why did Li Wuwang choose to cooperate with Lin Yitang?

His heart was filled with doubt, but he remained calm on the surface, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Li, what do you mean by this? Do you perhaps want to join forces with Junior Sister Lin to deal with my Tianyan Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wuwang chuckled and slowly said, "Brother Lu, you misunderstand. I have no intention of joining forces with Junior Sister Lin to deal with you. In fact, I hope you can leave here and give us the opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyun's expression changed, and his gaze swept back and forth between Li Wuwang and Lin Yitang. Finally, he realized something, and his tone was filled with shock.

"You're all in cahoots? Junior Sister Lin, aren't you a disciple of the Heavenly Sound Sect? How did you get involved with the Taique Sect?"

Seeing Lu Jingyun's surprise, Li Wuwang couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."

Actually, he was also very surprised. When Lin Yitang told him through telepathy that she was also a disciple of the Taique Sect, his eyes almost popped out, and he almost gave himself away on the spot.

However, seeing Lu Jingyun suffer a setback, he was in a good mood, a playful smile on his lips: "Brother Lu, it seems you don't know yet. Although Junior Sister Lin is ostensibly a disciple of the Tianyin Sect, in reality, she is a member of our Taique Sect. This entry into the secret realm was also arranged by our sect."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyun's face instantly turned ashen.

Unexpectedly, after years of wandering the world of cultivation, he was tricked by two people working together.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, very well! Li Wuwang, your Taique Sect is truly cunning!"

"First, you used your identity as a member of the Tianyin Sect to hide your strength; then you ambushed Zhao Qianyue in the secret realm; and now you want to monopolize the Yangling Spring! Do you really think my Tianyan Sect is easy to bully?"

Li Wuwang chuckled inwardly, but his face remained impassive. He simply said, "Brother Lu, don't put it so harshly. The opportunities in this secret realm are meant for the capable. Besides, Junior Sister Lin is a disciple of my Taique Sect, so it's only natural for me to protect her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyun was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

He and Li Wuwang were both geniuses from the three major sects of the cultivation world, and they knew each other very well. He knew that his strength and Li Wuwang's strength were roughly equal, and it would be difficult to determine a winner. Moreover, Li Wuwang had the unassuming Lin Yitang by his side.

Lin Yitang's attack just now, although aimed at Zhao Qianyue, left a deep impression on him. That strange and powerful force made him feel extremely wary!

He was unsure if Lin Yitang had any other tricks up her sleeve, and he dared not take any risks.

Lu Jingyun gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at Li Wuwang and Lin Yitang, and turned to leave quickly.

He moved with incredible speed, his escape light darting through the mountains and forests, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye, as if afraid the two would attack him.

Seeing that Lu Jingyun had left, Li Wuwang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he and Lin Yitang could deal with Lu Jingyun, it would consume their spiritual energy and mental strength, and they might only achieve a pyrrhic victory. After all, they were disciples of the three major sects, and they would definitely have life-saving items, as well as last resorts and methods. If they were really pushed to the brink and fought to the death, it was uncertain who would win.

The best outcome is for the other party to leave on their own.

He looked at Lin Yitang gratefully and said, "Thank you for your help, Junior Sister. If it weren't for your cleverness in coming up with a way to utilize the rules of the secret realm, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed."

Lin Yitang smiled slightly: "Senior brother, you're too kind. We are all disciples of the Taique Sect, and we should help each other. Besides, senior brother also contributed a lot in dealing with Zhao Qianyue."

Li Wuwang nodded and continued, "Now that Lu Jingyun has left, the ownership of the Yangling Spring will be decided between the two of us. What do you think, Junior Sister?"
