Chapter 457: Chapter 9: You Stole My Man (Part 9)

The female cultivator’s face was filled with anger as she said furiously, “They all say that Li Shuning of the Xuantian Sect has a great reputation and is a paragon among the younger generation, but now it seems that’s not the case. You can’t even protect your own sect members, always hesitating. Truly embarrassing.”

Li Shuning chuckled silently. Indeed, Yu Yuan was quite popular with women. But what’s the basis for a female cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage to say such things?

“Miss, I, Li Shuning, cannot speak for the entire Sect, nor can I wager the entire Sect to oppose the entire Cultivation World. Of course, if you have the ability to protect Yu Yuan, that’s good too. I’m just curious who you are. If you have an elder here, I can challenge them of the same rank; whether I am truly embarrassing, we shall see in a duel. Otherwise, your mere Nascent Soul level insults to me, Shuning, will not be ignored.”

The female cultivator was furious, stomping her feet, directly taking out a Sound Transmission Talisman and shouting, “Second Uncle, I’m being bullied. Come quickly!”

In no time, a somewhat disheveled man appeared in front of the crowd.

Li Shuning narrowed her eyes and sneered. So, they were from Qinggang Sect.

This man was also at the peak period of Divinity Transformation.

Yu Yuan naturally knew who the other party was.

He was overjoyed; he didn’t expect that helping a beautiful female cultivator, who looked good, on instinct, would turn out to be advantageous.

Yu Yuan’s mind spun, formulating some ideas. Anyway, according to Li Shuning’s stance, she wouldn’t help him.

Better to cling to this female cultivator’s influence and first escape the current predicament.

Damn Su Ying, they were husband and wife, yet she didn’t share her treasures and left him in this situation. He had even shared his cultivation resources with her before.

It must have been because he helped Wang Xiaoyan, and that envious woman got jealous. Very well, very well indeed.

He knew from their previous world that Su Ying was extremely jealous and had a mad side. He was always scared, so he didn’t dare to mess around outside.

Yet they grew up together from a young age, and he wasn’t used to being apart from her.

However, he didn’t expect Su Ying to leave him, escaping alone.

Qinggang Sect, the most formidable of the Four Great Sects, is rumored to have two Mahayana cultivators keeping watch there.

Li Shuning took out her Lifebound Magical Treasure, soared into the air, and called out, “Wang Huan, let us duel. Your niece insulted me, but I will not take advantage of the young as a senior. We are both at the peak of Divinity Transformation, and you have been at this peak for many years. Let’s determine the better once and for all.”

With that, Li Shuning went on the offensive.

The man did not waste time either, as his niece was unhappy and needed his support.

At first, the match seemed evenly matched, but within just ten moves, Wang Huan’s Divine Soul was severely injured by Li Shuning and he plummeted from the sky.

The spectators were slightly shocked; Wang Huan, who had been famous for so long, was defeated so easily by Li Shuning? How much of a genius was Li Shuning?

Wang Huan also felt a bit embarrassed.

Li Shuning coldly stared at Wang Xiaoyan and sneered, “Apologize.”

Wang Xiaoyan pouted, about to cry, yet she remained silent.

Yu Yuan, being sympathetic, stepped in front of Wang Xiaoyan, “Senior Sister, Xiaoyan is still young and inexperienced. Please forgive her, Senior Sister.”

Li Shuning smiled without saying anything, making Yu Yuan feel embarrassed.

When Wang Xiaoyan came out to play, someone naturally accompanied her, and they explained the situation to Wang Huan.

Wang Huan felt even more awkward now, not expecting the situation to turn out like this.

To be fair, it was indeed Yan’er who was wrong in this matter.

“Yan’er, apologize to your Senior Sister Li.”

In the Cultivation World, the strong are respected, and the Four Great Sects maintain a cordial surface relationship.

So it was natural for Wang Xiaoyan to call Li Shuning ’Senior Sister’.

Wang Xiaoyan, somewhat reluctant, smiled after Yu Yuan secretly encouraged her.

Apologizing was for the sake of Brother Yu.

“I’m sorry, Senior Sister Li.”

Li Shuning smiled and descended from the sky to the ground.

A cultivator then asked, “Brother Wang, are you going to protect this fellow cultivator?” He pointed at Yu Yuan.

Wang Xiaoyan suddenly became nervous, gently pulling at Wang Huan’s sleeve.

Wang Huan wasn’t an idiot. If Li Shuning didn’t dare to take people away, neither would he risk opposing all the sects. Xuantian Sect couldn’t do it, and neither could Qinggang Sect.

The main issue was Wang Huan felt uneasy; his niece’s blatant gaze clearly showed interest in Yu Yuan, yet this man had a partner.

Wang Huan patted Wang Xiaoyan’s hand, “This fellow cultivator, everyone is staying here because the woman who obtained the Secret Realm is your companion. To be honest, Qinggang Sect values the Secret Realm as well. As a controllable Secret Realm, its importance for junior disciples is evident to all. But Yu Yuan has shown kindness to Yan’er and, thus, to Qinggang Sect as well. Our ancestors truly favor Yan’er.”

Wang Huan’s words were quite skillfully said.

“Moreover, Yu Yuan is still a disciple of Xuantian Sect. Everyone is interested in the Secret Realm, which is likely still there. Why not all settle here for now and wait for some time? If there’s no news, please consider our Qinggang Sect and Xuantian Sect and don’t make things difficult for Yu Yuan.”

Everyone looked around, clearly unable to come up with a better idea.

Everyone then camped at the site.

When a Divinity Transformation cultivator from Xuantian Sect arrived with people, Li Shuning left.

She returned to her Sect and began cultivating again.

Now at the peak of Divinity Transformation, with the resources from the small Secret Realm, she should be able to break through.

If she breaks through, her parents can also cultivate and break through, which would be beneficial for the Sect.

After all, the Sect’s ancestor is nearing ascension.

If Xuantian Sect wants to continue prospering, a new Guardian God must emerge.

The news of Su Ying having the small Secret Realm spread, attracting not only righteous cultivators but also interest from those practicing devilish cultivation.

Su Ying’s Sect disbanded directly after an incident, fearing being dragged into it.

Such a small Sect couldn’t withstand it.

The Sect Leader was indeed very wise.

He disbanded the Sect just in time, leaving no one behind. The devil cultivators came and burnt the place down.

Su Ying was not doing well either.

On that day in the Secret Realm, she gained nothing, accrued so many points, and used up her life-saving Teleportation Talisman. Worst of all, she attracted the entire Cultivation World’s attention.

She hadn’t obtained the small Secret Realm at all.

Arguing with them to prove her innocence gave rise to concerns about the game system being discovered, and the game system was even more heaven-defying.

She must not let anyone know of its existence.
