Zhao Bin wiped away his tears and continued, "Demonic monsters invaded Xuanhu Town, and the entire town was slaughtered by them..."

"What?!" Shen Yao exclaimed in shock.

The True God Sect slaughtered the Spirit Herb Sect, and they didn't even spare Xuanhu Town!

Zhao Bin's expression was one of grief and indignation, his vision blurred by tears. He sobbed, "The Spirit Herb Sect... apart from the Third Senior Sister... the Sixth Junior Brother... the Seventh Junior Brother and... the Eleventh Junior Sister... Master and Junior Sister Bai Luo... all of them are gone without a trace..."

"Then... only me... and my two junior sisters and brothers, Lan Ying and Wan Li... are left..."

Zhao Bin could no longer speak at this point.

Shen Yao's eyes reddened as she looked at Zhao Bin, who was crying his eyes out, and she remained speechless for a long time.

That's a town! How many cultivators could there be in a town? How dare the True God Sect do that!

All because of a Spirit Awakening Seal.

All because of a Spirit Awakening Seal! The elders, disciples, and helpers of the Spirit Herb Sect... the townspeople of Xuanhu Town... and perhaps even passersby, how innocent they are!

True God Sect…that face…black cloud robe…Shen Yao hates it so much!

Xianyu and Xiaoshibao, who had been listening for a while, seemed to be getting closer and closer. When Shen Yao shouted in disbelief, Xianyu and Xiaoshibao were also standing by the pile of perfect stones eight feet away, shocked and angry but not daring to make a sound.

After a long silence, Shen Yao asked, "Then why are you working as a kitchen helper at Xiangyuan?"

Zhao Bin's emotions gradually calmed down. Upon hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said resentfully, "Other immortal cultivators may not recognize Master and Junior Sister Bai Luo, but we do. The True God Sect is looking for Master and Bai Luo. This matter is definitely not simple."

“We’ve been with the Spirit Herb Sect for years. How could there be any demonic invasion in Xuanhu Town? The True God Sect must be up to something shady!”

Shen Yao looked at him: "What did you find out?"

Zhao Bin: "Jiang Ming, the head of the Wind God Hall of the True God Sect, arrived in Xianmu City two months before the incident, and soon came to Xuanhu Town. After the incident, he returned to Xianmu City."

'Jiang Ming.' Shen Yao's mind was filled with that face, and hatred surged through her as that face materialized: 'So the owner of that face is named Jiang Ming.'

Shen Yao: "The three of you, hiding your identities, certainly wouldn't dare to show your faces easily. How did you manage to find out Jiang Ming's whereabouts?"

Given Zhao Bin's sensitive status, if he dared to inquire about Jiang Ming's whereabouts, he would surely be discovered quickly and subsequently wiped out.

Zhao Bin: "It's Bai Luo's brother, Bai Song. We met Bai Song in Qingfeng County."

Shen Yao understood; Bai Song must be concerned about his sister. However, Bai Song was meticulous and did not ask any questions rashly when he saw the gatekeeper searching his master and Bai Luo.

Bai Luo had never been to Qingfeng County. Even if some members of the Qingfeng Sect knew that Bai Song had a younger sister in Xuanhu Town, or even if they knew that his sister was in the Lingcao Sect...

After the incident, Shen Yao didn't reply to the messages Bai Song sent to Bai Luo, nor did his master. The disciple's token was also buried along with the messages.

Bai Song and his clansmen must have believed that Bai Luo was dead, and after seeing Bai Luo's portrait, Bai Song began to investigate in secret.

Later, she met Zhao Bin, and together they investigated and plotted revenge.

Zhao Bin and his group couldn't find out Jiang Ming's whereabouts, but Bai Song, as a disciple of the Qingfeng Sect, could easily inquire about Jiang Ming's whereabouts without arousing suspicion.

After all, a hall master from the True God Sect has arrived in Immortal Wood City, and Immortal Wood City is not a place where secrets are kept.

Thinking back to meeting Jiang Ming at Xiangyuan today… 'That idiot Fourth Senior Brother, could he possibly think that working as a cook at Xiangyuan will give him a chance to poison Jiang Ming…'

Thinking of this, Shen Yao looked at Zhao Bin with complicated eyes: "You guys wouldn't have found out that Jiang Ming often went to Xiangyuan, so you sneaked into the kitchen to poison him, would you?"

Zhao Bin remained silent.

Shen Yao said angrily, "Are you stupid? Do you think you could have successfully poisoned Jiang Ming?"

Zhao Bin: "We have no other choice. We have few spiritual roots and low levels, so we can't get into the True God Sect. This is the only way we can get close to him."

Shen Yao: "Have you ever thought about what would happen if the first strike missed...?"

Before Shen Yao could finish speaking, Zhao Bin interrupted angrily: "As long as we can get revenge, we will die without regrets."

Shen Yao wanted to persuade Zhao Bin with words like, "Master hopes you live well and don't need to seek revenge," but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

She herself couldn't bring herself not to seek revenge.

Revenge is absolutely necessary!

But not now, and not with the fourth senior brother leading the charge.

"Now can you tell me who you are?" Zhao Bin asked.

Shen Yao thought for a long time and came up with countless excuses, but finally said helplessly to Zhao Bin, "Fourth Senior Brother, I am Bai Luo."

Zhao Bin's pupils dilated in shock: "You... Bai Luo... how could you..."

Shen Yao calmly said, "Fourth Senior Brother, my physical body is gone. This is a clay body that Master sculpted for me using a secret technique, so it looks somewhat like Senior Sister Zhao Xuan."

"Fourth Brother, Master has passed away..."

Zhao Bin felt as if time had stopped, and he was completely unable to think.

Upon hearing this, Xianyu and Xiaoshibao turned away sadly, squatted on the ground, both holding back tears, and drew circles on the ground with small stones.

"I've made two bodies for you; choose one."

My name is Zong Changheng.

'The road ahead is long, and this is as far as I can protect you.'

……

Every scene in Minshan is etched into Shen Yao's soul core.

Her master protected her until his death, and she absolutely could not let her fellow disciples go to their deaths.

"Fourth Senior Brother," Shen Yao called softly to Zhao Bin, "Fourth Senior Brother, listen to me, take Bai Song, Senior Sister Lan Ying, and Senior Brother Wan Li back to Qingfeng County."

Just as Zhao Bin was about to refuse sternly, Shen Yao quickly interrupted, "I have learned a divine-level cultivation technique."

"I've learned four books so far."

"The spiritual meridians have been opened."

"I had a series of fortuitous encounters and awakened a new spiritual root."

"It is now a seventh-grade superior four-elemental root, and it will soon be able to awaken a sixth-grade superior five-elemental root."

"I also made a fortune and have an inexhaustible supply of perfect stones."

"Fourth senior brother, I am more suited to take revenge than you are."

One bombshell after another, one sentence after another, left Zhao Bin almost petrified.

Zhao Bin looked at Bai Luo, his junior sister, who had changed her appearance, and at her face that bore a striking resemblance to Zhao Xuan, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The senior and junior disciples sat facing each other in the All-Spirit Source Stone space, remaining motionless for a long time.

Then the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle flew over from the middle of the Shiquan Stone Pit: "Daughter, tell them to go to Qiwu City, don't go back to Qingfeng County."

Shen Yao asked, "What's wrong?"

Purple Cloud Golden Beetle: "The Golden Spirit Source Beast is growing faster than I imagined."

Shen Yao: "What does that have to do with Qiwu City?"

The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle flapped its upper wings, which already had fairly obvious golden runes: "There is a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Yang Fruit in Qiwu City, but I don't know exactly where it is. It's hidden by a special restriction. Have them help me find it."

The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle paused, then added, "We want to go too."

Shen Yao understood. The city was so big; she and Xianyu alone would have to search for a long time.

Shen Yao looked at Zhao Bin: "Fourth Senior Brother, we really need your help with this matter."

Zhao Bin had never seen a spirit beast that had gained intelligence, and he had heard that the spirit beast could speak. In addition, there was a space that allowed living creatures to enter, a huge Ten Perfection Stone Pit, and in the middle of the Ten Perfection Stone Pit, there was an extremely beautiful spirit beast.

Then look at the salted fish and the little stone man who looks like a child.

Zhao Bin had to believe that Junior Sister Bai Luo had indeed had many extraordinary encounters and was indeed much more capable than them.

“Alright,” Zhao Bin replied. “Let’s postpone our revenge for now and go to Qiwu City with you first.”
