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

"Master, the spiritual energy here is abundant. I have just broken through to a higher realm and would like to cultivate here for two days to consolidate my realm!"

With the three Supreme Elders injured, and not wanting to disturb them, the group was about to leave when Wu Xuemei suddenly spoke up.

Ling Xiaozi pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, you can stay here and cultivate in seclusion for a few days. I'll take you out during the sect's grand competition!"

There are many senior elders here; they can guarantee your safety!

The others nodded in agreement.

"Xue Mei absolutely cannot be allowed to get hurt again. She is the greatest hope of our Lingxiao Pavilion, and she should stay in this secret realm!"

After all, that dark figure was too terrifying, specifically targeting the geniuses of Lingxiao Pavilion.

Wu Xuemei was overjoyed. After everyone left, she randomly chose a mountain peak and devoted herself to cultivation to stabilize her realm.

The next day, carrying carefully prepared spiritual tea and fruits, they arrived outside Yu Xuzi's healing cave.

“Disciple Wu Xuemei requests an audience with Grandmaster Uncle.”

The cave entrance slowly opened, and Yu Xuzi sat cross-legged on the jade bed. His face was still pale, but his breathing had become much more stable.

"What brings you here, child?"

Yu Xuzi said gently.

Wu Xuemei bowed gracefully, her face full of concern: "I was deeply troubled yesterday when I saw that my Grandmaster Uncle was injured, so I specially prepared some spiritual tea to nourish the spirit. Although it is nothing precious, it is a token of my goodwill."

After saying that, she took out a tea set and skillfully brewed tea. A moment later, the aroma of tea filled the air, refreshing and delightful.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Yu Xuzi's eyes: "You've put your heart into it."

"My Grandmaster Uncle was injured for the sect, so it is only right that I do what I can to help."

Wu Xuemei presented the teacup with both hands, her expression respectful. "Moreover, this disciple actually has another request."

"Oh? But it doesn't matter."

Wu Xuemei looked somewhat troubled: "To be honest, Grandmaster Uncle, I have a few doubts about my cultivation that I don't understand. I asked my master before, but he couldn't explain it clearly either. So I dare to ask Grandmaster Uncle for some guidance."

His words were sincere, and his face was full of hope.

Yu Xuzi looked at Wu Xuemei. This girl was exceptionally talented and so sensible; she was truly endearing.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, tell me about it so I can see."

Wu Xuemei was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed, saying, "Thank you very much, Grandmaster Uncle!"

Next, Wu Xuemei behaved extremely humbly and eager to learn, and her questions were all to the point, which made Yu Xuzi more and more satisfied and less and less wary of her.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Uncle, for helping me out of this predicament. I offer you a cup of tea!"

Wu Xuemei spoke much more intimately, and respectfully offered her a cup of tea.

Yu Xuzi had no doubts. He was already thirsty, so he immediately drank it all in one gulp.

As soon as the tea entered his mouth, he felt a strange power suddenly erupt within him, instantly sealing off all his meridians and rendering him unable to mobilize even a fraction of his divine sense.

"Your tea..."

Yu Xuzi was greatly alarmed.

"Haha, Grandmaster Uncle, I'm sorry, but in order to achieve the supreme immortal path, I'll have to borrow your body."

The respectful expression on Wu Xuemei's face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold laugh. Then, a demonic aura emanated from her body.

"You, you really are that person, and a demon at that! You're the one who killed all those people..."

Yu Xuzi cried out in alarm.

"Old man, congratulations on guessing right!"

Wu Xuemei opened her mouth and bit Yu Xuzi's neck.

"Devil, I will take you down with me!"

With a loud shout, Yu Xuzi unleashed his magical power, which surged towards the blocked meridians, threatening to explode and kill himself.

Just then, a large, skeletal hand emerged from behind Wu Xuemei, its five fingers like hooks, and plunged straight into Yu Xuzi's crown chakra.

Yu Xuzi's eyes widened, his body trembled violently, and he could no longer break through his blocked meridians.

The pure spiritual energy of the Divine Transformation stage, along with her blood, surged into Wu Xuemei's body like a river.

Wu Xuemei's cultivation level rose rapidly, and the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

Half an incense stick later, Yu Xuzi turned into a dried corpse.

Wu Xuemei sat cross-legged, focusing all her efforts on digesting this enormous power.

The black nascent soul within her body grew rapidly, from three inches tall to six inches, and then from six inches to nine inches...

Ultimately, he remained at a point just one step away from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Unfortunately, it's still a little short."

The voice of the skeletal hand rang out, "Go, devour the other two."

The next morning, Wu Xuemei went to the cave where Yunyangzi was.

Yun Yangzi's injuries were slightly less severe than Yu Xuzi's, and he was currently meditating and adjusting his breathing in the bamboo forest.

Upon seeing Wu Xuemei arrive, he frowned slightly: "Wu Xuemei, what brings you here?"

Wu Xuemei exclaimed in a panic, "Grandmaster Uncle, something terrible has happened! Grandmaster Uncle Yuxu... he's in trouble!"

"what?"

Yunyangzi suddenly stood up.

"This morning, I went to see my Grandmaster Uncle Yuxu and found that he had no breath left; it seemed that he had passed away peacefully!"

As Wu Xuemei spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Yunyangzi's expression changed drastically: "Take me to see this quickly!"

The two rushed to Yu Xuzi's cave. Looking at Yu Xuzi's "corpse," Yun Yangzi was heartbroken: "Senior brother, how could this be..."

In the instant he lost his composure, the skeletal hand shot out like lightning, aiming straight for Yun Yangzi's back.

Yun Yangzi was, after all, a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Even though he was deeply grieving, he still instinctively sensed the danger.

他身形一闪，险之又险地避开了这致命一击。

"A giant skeletal hand, at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage?"

"You're a demon! You're the one who killed Senior Brother Yu Xuzi?!"

Yun Yangzi was both shocked and furious as he looked at the skeletal hand and the billowing demonic energy emanating from Wu Xuemei.

Seeing that her sneak attack had failed, Wu Xuemei immediately put on a terrified expression: "No! It wasn't me! It was a demon! A demon has infiltrated the sect and wants to harm our grandmaster uncles!"

As she spoke, she retreated rapidly, secretly activating the power of the skeletal hand.

Just as Yunyangzi was about to give chase, he suddenly felt a strange force surging from all directions, binding him tightly. He was terrified; the strength of this force far exceeded his imagination.

"who are you?!"

Yunyangzi shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Why ask questions of a dying man?!"

Wu Xuemei stopped pretending and a cruel smile appeared on her face.

The skeletal hand reached out again, and this time, Yunyangzi had no way to dodge it.

Having devoured two peak Nascent Soul cultivators in succession, Wu Xuemei's cultivation has reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from breaking through.

Xuanzhenzi had the highest cultivation level among the three Supreme Elders, and was also the most cautious.

When Wu Xuemei arrived at his cave, a hint of wariness flashed in Xuanzhenzi's eyes. "It's you?"

"Grandmaster Xuanzhen, something terrible has happened! Grandmaster Yuxu and Grandmaster Yunyang have both been murdered!"

Wu Xuemei deliberately shouted in a panic.

Xuanzhenzi's pupils contracted sharply; unlike Yunyangzi, he didn't immediately believe it. He stared intently at Wu Xuemei: "Oh? Then tell me how they were murdered?"

"It's a demon! This disciple personally witnessed a dark figure escaping from Grandmaster Yuxu's cave!"

Wu Xuemei cried, "I wanted to give chase, but the dark figure was too fast, and I couldn't catch up in the end..."

Xuanzhenzi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Come here, let me take a closer look."

Wu Xuemei felt a chill run down her spine, but she still stepped forward as instructed.

Just as she approached within three zhang of Xuanzhenzi, Xuanzhenzi suddenly sprang up and struck Wu Xuemei's crown with a palm.

Wu Xuemei was shocked and never expected Xuanzhenzi to be so decisive.

In the nick of time, she screamed, "Grandmaster Uncle, save me! That demon is right behind me!"

At the same time, she forcibly reversed her spiritual power, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling forward, just managing to dodge Xuanzhenzi's fatal blow.

Xuanzhenzi was slightly taken aback. In that split second, the skeletal hand suddenly burst out from Wu Xuemei's body and pierced through Xuanzhenzi's chest with lightning speed.
