"..."

The jade slip fell silent again for a long time before asking, "Will your Senior Brother Yun Miao agree?"

Such an obvious evasion of words, how could Ling Su not understand what the other party was wary of?

A cultivator who has entered the Third Grade Realm is only one step away from immortality and would avoid personal duels, especially in the North Continent, where the Three Immortals Sect reigns supreme. Similar occurrences are even more prevalent.

"I'll talk to Senior Brother myself."

Ling Su bit her lip hard. Even when Senior Brother had her share the Dao field with that Insect Demon disciple, she hadn't thought of attacking him. But now, it was clear he had gone too far, was too flamboyant, showing no hesitation about his greed.

After considering, she decisively spilled all of Shen Yi's secrets, explaining that Senior Brother Yun Miao was just considering Qing Guang's face. She deliberately omitted Crane Child's praise of Taixu Dan Emperor.

"If he had stayed put in Lingxu Cave, it would be our responsibility if anything happened. But he came out on his own, so even if he were left to rot in the wilderness, no one would care."

Upon hearing this, True Master Mao Feng pondered for a moment. He didn't respond immediately but instead asked for detailed information on how his own Great Demon was killed.

After hearing the whole story, the anger he had just managed to suppress flared up again.

In the North Continent, trying to capture and subdue a Great Demon is extremely difficult.

After all, whether it's seizing Dao fields or extracting Emperor's Aura, their help is indispensable. For cultivation purposes, they can be more useful than Immortal Elixirs and Spiritual Medicines.

This Tiger Demon had cooperated with True Master Mao Feng numerous times. He was very much in sync with it, it was like his treasured possession, and it had just been lost for nothing on Heavenly Tower Mountain!

"No wonder; taught by an Insect Demon, a wretched beast that doesn't understand the rules!"

The North Continent has its own rules. Even if sect members compete, the winning side would rarely kill such a Great Demon outright. Either they capture it or keep it in hand, waiting for the loser to pay to redeem it.

This Great Demon being killed is simply an act of wanton destruction.

"Sister, don't be anxious. Since he broke the rules, he must pay the price. But it seems he has hidden his skills. Let me call two of our fellow disciples to help, and prepare to target his Dao Fruit."

Mao Feng finally agreed.

Before joining Lingxu Cave, the so-called Taixu Dan Emperor was not even counted as a North Continent person and didn't have the status of a Three Immortals Sect member. Wanting to act against him could only be done before he truly integrates, to minimize trouble.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Although Ling Su felt the other was being overly cautious, for a cultivator in the Six-Six Transformation with her in the Three-Three Transformation realm, dealing with an Insect Demon disciple who had just entered Third Grade wasn't a big task. Bringing too many people would require a great deal of effort and perhaps significant expenses from her.

But since she had a request from Mao Feng, she could only bear it.

...

Lingxu Cave, Half-falling Cliff.

The Purple Cloud Taoist Robe fluttered as True Master Yun Miao sat cross-legged at the cliff edge, meditating on the essence of heaven and earth with a wisp of purple mist.

Footsteps sounded faintly behind him.

True Master Yun Miao didn't turn around, only slowly opened his eyes. "I've heard about the matter at Heavenly Tower Mountain. The Dan Emperor Junior Brother may be a bit ignorant, but he is new to the North Continent and doesn't know our ways. Perhaps he genuinely thought there was a Great Demon invading, which is why he acted rashly. You should understand."

Ling Su stood quietly behind him, hearing that Big Brother was still making excuses for the intruder at this point, and couldn't help but raise a mocking smile.

"..."

True Master Yun Miao, having received no response for a long time, finally turned slightly to see. "Even if he truly wanted to seize your Dao field, Master dotes on you the most. How could he stand by and watch you be bullied? One must always honor the order of arrival. Don't let your anger ruin your cultivation."

Honestly, even he hadn't expected that this Taixu Dan Emperor, having just escaped death, should have been more cautious for a while. Just arriving at the North Continent, not even familiar with the place, yet still so eager, trying to grab every opportunity without a shred of dignity.

But True Master Yun Miao recalled what the disciple reported about Dan Emperor's decisive and clean kill of the Tiger Demon, and had other thoughts.

Crane Child wasn't wrong; this one is indeed a good seedling, and the greed shown might just be a result of the destruction of his sect, feeling indignant and wanting revenge on the North Continent.

True Master Yun Miao himself was also at the point of personally competing for incense. However, his Junior Brothers did not give him much respect, only his junior sister was somewhat close to him.

If he could assuage Taixu Dan Emperor's dissatisfaction and win him over, given time, he might become a useful ally.

It would mean having to wrong his junior sister for now.

"Senior Brother, I didn't come to discuss this today."

Ling Su spoke directly, interrupting his preamble. She had a cold face, respectfully said, "Lately my thoughts have been unresolved, and I plan to go out with Senior Brother from Chi Yun Cave for some relaxation. I won't return to the sect for now, please do not worry."

"You——"

True Master Yun Miao's eyes narrowed, his eye corners twitching slightly.

He knew his junior sister had a good relationship with the disciples from Chi Yun Cave, and they helped with the Heavenly Tower Mountain matter.

But now she was adopting this stance.
