The goofy junior sister is the most eccentric person in the entire cultivation world.

Eight thousand li west of Tongtian Mountain lies Piaomiao Peak.

Clouds and mist swirl around, and flocks of cranes gather.

Inside the palace atop the mountain, several elderly men were discussing matters.

"The Star Palace is no ordinary place."

An old man with white eyebrows slowly said, "According to intelligence, they not only seized dozens of branches of Wanbaoge, but also killed four Nascent Soul cultivators. Among them, the Blood Coffin Ancestor was severely injured and his cultivation level may drop."

"Wanbaoge has really messed up this time. Have you found out the origins of this suddenly appearing sect, Xingchen Palace?"

An old man in a red robe asked.

The white-browed old man shook his head: "This Star Palace has existed in the Northwest Region for tens of thousands of years."

Previously, it was just an ordinary sect with weak overall strength and extremely low profile. Even in the Northwest Region, it was just an ordinary sect, let alone in the entire Tianyuan Continent cultivation world.

As for their sect leader, Xingchen Daoren, he seems to only be at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, there was absolutely no information available about Shen Rugo and those five young people; it was as if they had appeared out of thin air.

"Appeared out of thin air?"

No one comes into this world out of thin air.

They are either disciples of some reclusive ancient master, or they have received an ancient inheritance, or they are not from this world.

The old man in the red robe sneered.

"Not from this world?"

Everyone else was shocked when they heard this.

The white-browed elder tapped the table. "Regardless of their origins, the issue now is that Wanbaoge has paid a heavy price to ask us to join forces against Xingchen Palace in the sect competition. What do you think?"

"Agree to their request."

The resources provided by Wanbaoge are enough for us to cultivate three Nascent Soul cultivators. This deal is worthwhile.

The old man in the red robe spoke without hesitation.

"But it's really strange that the Star Palace was able to snatch food from the jaws of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and escape unscathed. They're definitely not simple. What if..."

A middle-aged woman looked hesitant.

"There's no 'what if'. If the nine major sects join forces, plus the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, they can't deal with a newly emerging sect?"

"In this sect competition, not a single member of the Star Palace can leave Tongtian Mountain alive!"

The old man in the red robe spoke in an icy tone.

Similar scenarios were also playing out in several other major sects.

In the Heavenly Secrets Palace, there is a secret room filled with the traces of stars.

"The Star Palace, since Wanbaoge has offered such a high price, then they can only die."

Qing Yuanzong.

"Our relationship with Wanbaoge is so-so, but Xingchen Palace has committed too many killings, including killing four Nascent Soul cultivators, which is against the will of Heaven."

Moreover, Wanbaoge has offered an astronomical price this time, so in this competition, the disciples of Qingyuan Sect should take it upon themselves to subdue demons and defend the righteous path, with a focus on the Star Palace.

"As long as they encounter a disciple of the Star Palace, they will kill them without hesitation, even if it means using any means necessary."

Inside the main hall of the Xuantian Sect, where sword energy soared into the sky.

“Those five young disciples of the Star Palace are exceptionally talented. If they are allowed to grow up, they will surely become a major threat to our Xuantian Sect. Moreover, the Wanbao Pavilion has tried to win us over many times.”

A middle-aged man carrying a long sword flashed with killing intent in his eyes, "Therefore, in this competition, we must target the Star Palace and eliminate them completely!"

……

Of the ten major sects, apart from Lingxiao Pavilion, which ranks first, the other nine sects were all won over by Wanbao Pavilion with sky-high resources and secretly reached an agreement to join forces to kill the genius disciples of Xingchen Palace in the sect competition!

A conspiracy targeting the Star Palace is quietly unfolding.

At this moment, everyone in the Star Palace was completely unaware.

Lingxiao Pavilion, the number one sect on the Tianyuan Continent, is located in the Lingxiao Mountains, ten thousand miles north of Tongtian Mountain.

Here, towering peaks rise amidst swirling clouds and mist, their spiritual energy so rich it's almost liquefied.

The main peak, Lingxiao Peak, is ten thousand feet high, with nine celestial palaces suspended atop it, arranged in a nine-palace pattern, which is the core of Lingxiao Pavilion.

At this moment, in a secluded secret realm behind Lingxiao Peak, five people were lying on the ground: four young disciples and an elder in the late Nascent Soul stage.

All five were imprisoned and unable to move, only able to stare at Wu Xuemei in terror.

"Junior Sister Wu, what are you doing? We're from the same sect!"

A young disciple asked, trembling.

"Fellow disciples?"

Wu Xuemei laughed, a strange and twisted laugh, "In my eyes, you are nothing more than food, nourishment."

"what?!"

All five were horrified.

The elder shouted sternly, "Wu Xuemei! Have you gone mad from practicing your martial arts?"

"Release us immediately! Otherwise, once the sect leader finds out, he will surely tear your soul apart and refine your spirit!"

"Head?"

Wu Xuemei laughed loudly, her laughter full of sarcasm. "That old fool? He's been completely fooled by me! In the entire Lingxiao Pavilion, who has ever doubted me? Who knows that the most outstanding genius disciple in your eyes is actually cultivating the Devouring Demon Art?"

I entered the Lingxiao Pavilion specifically to target your sect's genius disciples; I came to devour you so-called geniuses!

As soon as she finished speaking, a monstrous demonic aura suddenly erupted from her body!

Black demonic energy surged forth as if it were a tangible substance, condensing into a gigantic demonic shadow behind her.

The demonic figure had three heads and six arms, each head was ferocious and terrifying, and the space itself rippled as the six arms swung.

"Demonic... demonic arts! You're a demonic cultivator? A member of the legendary demon race? What exactly are you trying to do by infiltrating the Lingxiao Pavilion?!"

The elder's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he screamed in terror.

In this world, demons have long since disappeared, but the legends about them have never faded away.

It is said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the spiritual energy in this cultivation world was far richer than it is now, and the ceiling for cultivators' realms was not the Nascent Soul stage, but the Void Refinement stage.

However, one day, the sky was torn apart, and a torrent of demonic energy surged in, with countless demons rushing in and nearly destroying the world.

Although the demons later retreated for reasons unknown, the demons and humans have always been sworn enemies, and the demons have always fed on humans. This fact is known to everyone in the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent, and everyone hates the demons.

"What do you want? Isn't that obvious? It's for you, of course!"

Wu Xuemei licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with greed. "Lingxiao Pavilion, as the number one sect in the world, has disciples with exceptional talent, pure bloodlines, and outstanding spiritual roots. They are truly the best nourishment in the world!"

She walked forward step by step, and with each step she took, the demonic energy around her intensified.

"I want to borrow your bloodline, spiritual roots, and magical power to help me embark on the supreme path to immortality!"

Wu Xuemei spread her arms wide and laughed wildly, "By devouring you, I can break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

At that time, I will be invincible in the sect competition!

Shen Rugo, hahaha, I will devour her bit by bit, and let her die in endless agony!

"Crazy! You are a crazy person!"

The elder struggled desperately, but the restrictions held him firmly in place.

"Go ahead and curse, curse all you want."

Wu Xuemei's smile grew increasingly sinister. "Because soon, you won't be able to curse anymore."

She reached out and grabbed at the five people, her five fingers forming a claw.

"Swallowing Heaven Demon Technique!"
