Transmigration and Self-Saving Cultivation

Jun Luochuan led the team through numerous hardships and dangers, enduring countless days of wind and rain, and finally, carrying their heavy and abundant harvest, embarked on the long journey back to their sect.

Along the way, Su Yao was as excited as a cheerful lark, chattering incessantly, her words like a string of leaping musical notes.

"Jun Luochuan, we've done something truly earth-shattering this time! Those guys in the sect will definitely look at us with new respect and worship us as heroes!"

Jun Luochuan rolled his eyes at her, his gaze like a cold, frost-covered arrow. "Hmph, that's beyond doubt."

Everyone felt as if they were a flock of birds that had broken free from their cages, exceptionally relaxed and carefree. It was as if even their steps had become as light as a spring breeze, joyful and agile.

However, they were completely unaware that the sect was like a bottomless lake at this moment, seemingly calm but actually turbulent and fraught with danger.

It turned out that within the sect, there was a narrow-minded elder named Li Hong. This man had always harbored jealousy towards Jun Luochuan's exceptional talent, like a vicious wolf eyeing a plump lamb. When he heard that Jun Luochuan was about to return in glory with a precious treasure, the flames of jealousy instantly ignited within him, and a wicked idea quietly formed in his mind.

"We absolutely cannot let this kid be so smug and successful. We must find a way to teach him a lesson and let him know who the real authority in this sect is." Li Hong secretly plotted in a dark corner, his distorted face resembling a ferocious demon.

After overcoming numerous hardships, Jun Luochuan and his companions finally arrived at the sect's gate.

"Look! Jun Luochuan and the others are back!" The disciples of the sect, like flowers awakened by the spring breeze, flocked over and surrounded them.

Jun Luochuan strode confidently, exuding an air of grandeur, like a triumphant general, leading his entourage into the solemn and majestic hall.

The sect leader sat high above, his face as warm as the spring sun, with a kind and approachable smile.

"Luo Chuan, you have endured hardships and traveled through wind and rain this time. You have truly suffered." The sect leader's voice echoed in the hall like a melodious bell.

Jun Luochuan bowed with his hands clasped in a graceful and respectful gesture. "For the sect, I would go through fire and water, even die for it. It is my duty, even if it means my death."

Just then, Li Hong, like a treacherous viper, suddenly darted out from the crowd.

"Sect Leader, I've heard that Jun Luochuan acted recklessly and arbitrarily this time, completely disregarding everyone's safety and almost plunging us into an abyss of no return," Li Hong said sarcastically, his voice as harsh and unpleasant as the cry of a night owl.

Jun Luochuan frowned deeply, his brows furrowing like two tightly twisted braids. "Elder Li, don't make baseless accusations and spout nonsense!"

Su Yao could no longer contain her anger, and like an angry little lion, she said, "Elder Li, this is clearly naked jealousy, jealousy of the great achievements we have made!"

Li Hong sneered, his laughter like a cold winter wind, "Little brat, who gave you the right to interrupt? You don't know your place!"

The disciples in the sect began to whisper among themselves, and the atmosphere instantly became tense, like a taut bowstring that could snap at any moment.

The sect leader's face darkened, like a sky filled with dark clouds. "Shut up, all of you! Stop making a fuss! Luo Chuan, tell me in detail what exactly happened?"

Jun Luochuan remained composed and dignified, his expression as calm and collected as a towering mountain. He recounted the cause and effect of the operation in detail and with clarity, his words flowing smoothly and logically like a gentle stream.

Upon hearing this, the sect leader nodded slightly, like a swaying ear of wheat in the wind. "Elder Li, it seems you have misunderstood Luo Chuan. Please do not create trouble out of thin air."

Li Hong's face immediately turned ashen, but he was still unwilling to accept defeat, like a gambler who had lost everything. "Sect Leader, even if he was lucky this time, we cannot tolerate him like this, otherwise he will become a great threat in the future."

A flash of anger crossed Jun Luochuan's eyes, like lightning streaking across the night sky. "Elder Li, what exactly do you intend to do?"

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, like two bulls butting heads and refusing to give way, a mysterious old man suddenly appeared before them, as if a celestial being had descended to earth.

"Stop arguing!" The old man's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a resounding bell, filled with irresistible authority.

Everyone turned their gaze to the old man, their eyes filled with awe and curiosity.

The old man's eyes were sharp as he looked directly at Jun Luochuan, his eyes revealing undisguised admiration. "This child has done very well. Li Hong, stop being unreasonable and deliberately making things difficult for him."

Upon seeing the old man, Li Hong immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant and dared not utter another word.

Seeing this, the sect leader quickly said, "Since the senior has said so, let's drop this matter and no one is allowed to mention it again."

Jun Luochuan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luo Chuan, present the treasure you have obtained this time so I can take a look," the sect leader said.

Jun Luochuan carefully handed the treasure to the sect leader.

The sect leader examined it carefully, and the smile on his face was like a blooming flower, bright and satisfied.

"You've all worked hard, go and get some rest," the sect leader said.

Jun Luochuan led everyone out of the main hall, his steps firm and powerful.

"Hmph, you're lucky this time, kid," Li Hong said through gritted teeth from behind, his eyes filled with resentment.

Jun Luochuan seemed not to hear him and led everyone back to their residence.

"That Li Hong is absolutely despicable!" Su Yao's cheeks turned bright red with anger, puffing up like ripe apples.

Jun Luochuan smiled, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze. "Don't be angry. He's such a clown; he won't be able to keep up this for long."

Everyone began packing their belongings, preparing to get a good rest and recharge.

However, they were completely unaware that a far greater and more dangerous conspiracy was brewing in the shadows, like a monstrous beast with its jaws wide open, waiting for them...
