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

The once lively King of Medicine was now very quiet and docile...

Zi Ji reached out, plucked the fist-sized fruit, took a bite, and found it fresh, juicy, and brimming with Spirit Qi. She nodded satisfactorily, "Not bad!"

The crowd was petrified.

The King of Medicine felt aggrieved, but it dared not show it.

At that moment, a force suddenly emanated from behind The King of Medicine, like a long vine wrapping around its body, intending to pull its entire frame away.

Zi Ji let out a cold snort. With a Sword Slash, she looked intently into the depths of Salt Mountain. "Sneaking around? If you have the courage, come out."

A scheme!

Behind her, Guang Xiaoyu propped up her chin, recalling her own experiences. But when she had just extended her Divine Sense, she couldn't capture it. Could it be?

"Heh, you put out a King of Medicine. Are you setting a trap, waiting for someone?" Zi Ji's eyes widened.

After a long wait, there was still no response from the depths.

The force from earlier had been severed by her sword strike. Zi Ji grasped The King of Medicine in one hand and returned to them. "Junior Brother, this King of Medicine is for you."

Li Qi: "…"

The onlookers felt suffocated.

Especially the geniuses from Youming Valley, who were shocked by the powerful aura Zi Ji had emitted when she made her move.

Although they couldn't precisely guess her realm, they suspected she stood at least at the Destiny Stage—no... perhaps even stronger.

Even The King of Medicine was willing to submit to her.

Now, she held The King of Medicine in her hand and casually gave it to Li Qi.

My heavens! Who is this young girl?

"Senior Sister, this… no, no, no, this is The King of Medicine you obtained," Li Qi stammered, coming to his senses.

"Yes! Senior Sister, it's too precious," the others also spoke up.

Precious? Zi Ji was puzzled. "Is The King of Medicine very precious?"

She had the Tree of Great Dao within her, two Kings of Medicine, and many Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Pills given by Chen Pingping.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Ah, I guess it is precious... In that case, I'll chop up The King of Medicine, and we can all share it."

"No, no, no..." several people exclaimed.

"Then?" she hesitated.

"Just give it to me!" Li Qi wiped cold sweat from his brow, genuinely worried that his Senior Sister would chop it up with her sword, which would probably ruin The King of Medicine!

Seeing him accept The King of Medicine, Zi Ji said no more and smiled. "Alright, let's head back!"

No one dared to stop them.

The lesson was still fresh: Zi Ji was strong, and Guang Xiaoyu was even stronger.

For Li Qi and his group, it felt like a dream, and they were still groggy.

Before leaving, Guang Xiaoyu took a deep look into the depths of Salt Mountain and revealed a meaningful smile, whispering, "Spirit Realm!"

If she wasn't mistaken, the person controlling The King of Medicine just now was from the Spirit Realm, exactly like her encounter on Luo God Mountain.

The Wuji Sect party departed, traveling far into the distance.

The remaining faction members and young geniuses were still in shock. Some noticed the ox, and some recognized Guang Xiaoyu.

"That guy who was herding the ox actually came back alive? Unbelievable."

"He's not the point; the key is Guang Xiaoyu."

"Hmm... I wonder how the Wuji Sect's plan is progressing. I hope everything goes smoothly."

"Of course, it will go smoothly. Heh heh, with the support of seniors from the Spirit Realm, the fall of Wuji Sect is already a foregone conclusion," a powerhouse from Youming Valley sneered.

Not far away, the people of the Saint Tao family had grim expressions, brimming with strong killing intent. This trip had cost them dearly; several young geniuses had all been slain by Zi Ji. Heh, not avenging this grievance would be unbecoming of a gentleman.

「Deep within Salt Mountain, in the Void.」

Several figures were indeed hidden there, hailing from the Spirit Realm. They had not truly descended yet, as the Spatial Barrier was incredibly sturdy, difficult to traverse unless a Great Emperor made a move.

They were young, but the fluctuations of their auras were very strong.

One of the men in white couldn't help but say, "I always feel there's something odd about this world. That little girl who just took action—she isn't an ordinary Cultivator. She was actually able to intimidate a King of Medicine."

"Odd? How so?" someone else scoffed. "This is but a lower world. No matter how peculiar, it will become a breeding ground for the Spirit Realm. Brother Bai, you worry too much."

The man known as Brother Bai continued, "There's also another woman. Her fleeting appearance was stunning, and her gaze terrifying, emanating the dignity of Dharma."

He wasn't joking. Just now, when they tried to use magic to bind The King of Medicine and pull it back, Zi Ji had cut the spell with one Sword Slash. He had been about to intervene, only to meet Guang Xiaoyu's gaze. The man in white had been startled and quickly concealed himself. That gaze was fearsome, and somewhat familiar; he felt as though he had seen it somewhere before.

Someone spoke up, "Once the three great dynasties make their move, they will soon control the Heaven Martial Continent. And then... this world will be our Spirit Realm's breeding ground. All the Cultivators living here will become slaves. Heh heh, the thought is quite amusing."

"The elders said that Wuji Sect is extraordinary, a tough bone to crack. I wonder how the battle is going now."

"It's probably almost over, right? This world has no Divine King, nor Emperor's Dao. With the strength of the three great dynasties, the only thing that could stop them from attacking here is the Spatial Barrier."

"Didn't they say that the three great dynasties are reviving the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon, intending to forcibly open the Spatial Barrier?"

"Just talk. The alliance between the three great dynasties is unreliable in itself. Who knows what will happen in the end?"

"That's also true..."

"I have a bad premonition!" Bai Yisheng said.

The others glanced sideways and reproached, "Shut up!"

The few figures gradually vanished during the discussion, their projections soon hovering over Wuji Sect. At this moment, the powerhouses from Youming Valley and the Saint Tao family had already begun their attack. The number of powerhouses dispatched by both parties totaled over a hundred. Most of them were in the Supreme Mystery Realm, with more than a dozen at the early stages of King Tao, and one or two at the mid-stages—all possessing powerful strength and formidable combat abilities. They also possessed many powerful trump cards.

The situation at Wuji Sect was indeed not looking good.

Presently, the entire Sect was in chaos, particularly since the current Sect Master, Baili Jiansan, had been grievously injured and was unable to join the fight.

A few Peak Masters gathered there, their faces pale, having been speechless for an hour.

Outside the gate, the high-level experts were all fraught with anxiety.

Zhuge Wushuang and Mo Wuwei were also there, faces grim, not uttering a word.

Numerous young talents discussed amongst themselves, but their mood became increasingly somber, and soft sighs spread across the square. With two major powers besieging Wuji Sect, their intentions set, and their formations strong, Wuji Sect would probably be no more if nothing unexpected occurred.

At this time, many young people looked in the direction of Qingfeng, recalling the legends about "Master Uncle." If he were here, could he possibly rescue Wuji Sect from its dire straits?

After some thought, they shook their heads and laughed self-deprecatingly. Master Uncle had long since left. Even if they sent him the news now, it would take him a while to return to Wuji Sect, wouldn't it?

"What kind of person is Master Uncle, really?" a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl couldn't help but ask, tilting her head, her bright dark eyes fixed on Qingfeng. "Do you think Master Uncle will rush back?"

No one responded.

The two major powers had attacked Wuji Sect several times. They had fiercely resisted, but their strength was limited. Now, with Baili Jiansan grievously wounded, their combat power was greatly diminished, and the situation became increasingly dire.

If "Master Uncle" was going to come back, he probably would have already returned, right?

At that moment, a young man said resolutely, "Master Uncle will definitely come back."
