Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!

The November sky already heralded the arrival of winter.

Snowflakes danced and swirled in a thick flurry.

In just one night, the entire Central Continent was cloaked in white.

Two figures approached from outside Chaoge City, followed by an old yellow ox of immense stature and spirited eyes; one of them cradled a small black dog in her arms. It was a curious combination.

What was astonishing was that, despite the heavy snow, it seemed unable to land on their bodies, as if a luminous barrier was warding it off.

"Senior Sister, are we really going to seize the Demon Flower?" Zi Ji asked, her heart unsettled with worry.

They had finally escaped the imperial city. Shouldn't they keep a low profile at such a time? What if they were targeted by Chong Tower's people? Besides, she still carried the Yuan World... It was too dangerous.

The most important point was, weren't they supposed to find Senior Brother? What was so special about a Demon Flower worth seizing?

Guang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "A correction: it's not seizing."

Zi Ji was puzzled. "Then what is it?"

Of course, it's a command.

What Flower of the Great Tao? It's merely a flower cleansed by Emperor Blood, tainted with Divinity. It later passed through tribulations to become sentient, escaping from the Nine Heavens into the Void, to arrive in the Heaven Martial continent.

She had seen this flower numerous times before. Although she had previously disdained it, the situation was different now. She had returned from rebirth, starting everything from scratch, and gaining the Demon Flower's aid could indeed expedite her Tao Verification.

Moreover, through the Insightful Power of the Primitive Demon God's pupils, she had vaguely pinpointed Chong Tower's location, somewhere deep within Chaoge City.

Guang Xiaoyu stopped, her gaze intensely fixed on the ancient city as she sneered inwardly, "Daring to attack This Emperor repeatedly and assassinate my Little Junior Sister, haha! You all are truly tired of living."

Unbeknownst to her, Chen Pingping was also investigating.

As they drew nearer, many figures standing upon the city walls noticed the two women. A single thought simultaneously struck their minds: "She has arrived—the terrifying woman who annihilated the Bai Family, slayed Earth-Level Killers, and suppressed Murong Hua."

Her name had already spread throughout the Central Continent.

Of course, there were also many who didn't recognize Guang Xiaoyu, thinking the tales were fanciful fabrications, all false.

A gorgeously dressed young man leaped down from the city walls and walked up to the two women, his longsword drawn as he declared, "I've heard you're very formidable. This Young Master challenges you!"

He held his head high, exuding immense pride. He hadn't yet reached the age of twenty, but he had already stepped into King Tao. If his rise wasn't solely the product of abundant cultivation resources, he would indeed count as an extraordinary genius.

The powerhouses behind him, upon hearing these words, instantly felt a chill run down their spines.

My heavens! Which family's foolhardy son is this? Actually challenging Guang Xiaoyu?

Luckily, Guang Xiaoyu had no intention of making a move. She merely glanced at him and said, "Junior Sister, you handle this!"

"Me?" Zi Ji's mouth fell open slightly.

"Summon the courage you had when you escaped the imperial city and take him down!" Guang Xiaoyu encouraged. "Don't be afraid. If you can't beat him, your Senior Sister is here!"

With her insight, it wasn't hard for her to discern the young man's true combat strength. Though he had entered King Tao, his combat prowess probably still lingered in the Supreme Mystery Realm. His foundation was very superficial. Junior Sister could handle such a foolish boy with ease.

"I can't do it!" Zi Ji protested, somewhat panicked.

The courage she had to flee the imperial city had somehow evaporated. Perhaps it was because she missed her Senior Brother and Senior Sister too much, or perhaps she had grown tired of her confined life, thus longing to flee that place. But now, calmer, the thought of engaging in combat... She found it deeply repellent. And besides, she was afraid of losing.

Guang Xiaoyu said again, "It's alright. I've seen you fight; you're very powerful and can definitely defeat this foolish boy."

The young man standing before them, listening to their exchange, glared with wide eyes. "What did you call me?"

Detestable! Did they just call him a foolish boy? And treat him as if he were a ball to be kicked around? It was truly unforgivable.

The young man slashed at them in a fury.

However...

Zi Ji directly drew out the Emperor Divine Weapon and cleaved at him. With a scream, the young man, along with his Longsword, was sent flying hundreds of meters away.

The crowd was as silent as cicadas in winter.

SIGH!

Guang Xiaoyu, full of envy, said, "Senior Brother is really good to you!"

Zi Ji came back to her senses, quickly put away the Emperor Divine Weapon, and then said, "Senior Brother is also very good to you, Senior Sister."

"Nonsense!" The latter remained unconvinced.

She remembered when she first joined Qingfeng. Besides the few stalks of Spiritual Medicine and a set of cultivation techniques she received at the beginning, she got nothing else afterward. Oh, right, there were also a few Spirit Pills. But those were for the freshman competition and had to be returned. She had struggled up from poverty, through countless hardships.

Now look at Zi Ji—Emperor Divine Weapon, armored skirt, Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Pills, piles of Spirit Stones—truly treated like a princess.

Zi Ji thought for a moment, then took out the Emperor Divine Weapon again. "How about this, Senior Sister? You can use this."

Guang Xiaoyu quickly shook her head. "No, I can't use a sword."

Zi Ji didn't understand. "Why not?"

Guang Xiaoyu shrugged and said leisurely, "Senior Brother said so." Before, she didn't quite understand and had wanted to argue several times, feeling extremely wronged. Why can others have one, but I can't? Fine if you don't give me one, but you also forbid me from using it?

Later, she understood. The sword is the weapon with the heaviest killing aura between heaven and earth. Once she used it, it was very likely to arouse the killing desire of the Primitive Demon God. If it happened too often, she would gradually sink, undergo Cultivating Demon, and eventually become a host body for the Primitive Demon God. This was a backlash.

Realizing this, she had to admit Chen Pingping's insight. Something she, a Demon Emperor, didn't even know, was clearly and thoroughly understood by Chen Pingping. Impressive!

As for why she hadn't undergone Cultivating Demon before, it was because she herself was a demon.

"Let's go!" Guang Xiaoyu spoke no more.

At this time, the young man's frustrated and exasperated voice came from not far away, "Don't go! The fight isn't over yet!" Saying so, he was about to rush over.

Who knew that just one look from Lao Huang, the old yellow ox, made him freeze completely. It was instantly terrifying, as if what he faced was not an ox, but a powerful being. Cold sweat poured down the young man's back.

"Senior Sister, do you really have no news of Senior Brother?" Along the way, Zi Ji didn't know how many times she had asked this question.

Guang Xiaoyu said helplessly, "He should be alive. Senior Brother is very strong, and he has that chicken by his side."

She too had been worried, so she couldn't let Zi Ji worry as well. She hoped everything was fine.

Otherwise!

She would definitely exterminate Tianxuan Holy Land.

「Upon entering Chaoge City, an invitation was delivered to them.」

It was from a young master of a cultivating family within the city. Although not well-known, any force capable of establishing itself in Chaoge City was extraordinary. This young master had invited more than fifty young talents, including the Saintess, the Saint Heir, Liu Changqing, Alan, Diwu Qingrou, and others. It was to be a gathering for young people to interact.

Guang Xiaoyu's lips curved into a smile. "When your strength is sufficient, you will be respected. So... often, you don't need to be overly modest."

"But Senior Brother said to cultivate in a low-key manner," Zi Ji tilted her head.

"It's different!"

"Why?"

"The low-key cultivation Senior Brother spoke of is because he himself is immensely strong. We, on the other hand, need to exert our full potential to achieve what he does effortlessly," Guang Xiaoyu sighed, thinking, "This Emperor has lived for a hundred thousand years and seen countless geniuses. There were even those who reached the Emperor Path at twenty. Yet, I have never seen anyone like Senior Brother."

He was truly peerless. Powerful, yet humble, concealing his true abilities, never competing with others, possessing a good mindset, carefree… He's completely unlike a young man. Does he truly not have the slightest bit of worldly desire?
