Chapter 155: Immortal Venerable × Meow Meow Cat (10)

The atmosphere froze for a moment. Yun Qian, who had rushed over, fell silent. But he quickly calmed down and carefully examined the sword Chi Junluo held in her right hand. It was an ordinary flying sword, made from materials used only for new Qi Refining disciples to practice flying. To put it bluntly, it was hardly better than a bamboo sword. The iron was the lowest grade in the mortal realm—light and not very hard. It was suitable for flying, but it was far from adequate for killing spirit beasts. The hides of most spirit beasts were incredibly tough and couldn't be pierced by an ordinary iron flying sword. Such a sword lacked the reinforcement of spirit-rich materials. Even if a cultivator tried to fill it with spiritual energy to slay a spirit beast, it would be impossible. Inferior iron would simply disintegrate upon contact with spiritual energy, let alone be used to kill a spirit beast. Furthermore, the ordinary flying sword in Chi Junluo's right hand didn't have a single drop of blood or a trace of dirt on it. It was pristine, without even a nick or a crack. Those spirit beasts were definitely not killed with this sword.

Yun Qian then carefully examined the wounds on the spirit beasts. It was obvious that all the wounds, including the fatal ones, had been torn by sharp claws, like those of a wild beast. No matter how he looked at her, his junior sister seemed to be an ordinary human girl. So, Yun Qian was quick to conclude that these spirit beasts had not been killed by his junior sister. But on second thought, another theory formed in his mind.

Instantly, the way Yun Qian looked at Chi Junluo became subtle.

Chi Junluo herself knew that all of this looked too shocking and unbelievable. How could a disciple who hadn't even reached Foundation Establishment kill so many spirit beasts? Moreover, after the Heavenly Dao's rambling explanation, she belatedly realized that among the spirit beasts strewn across the ground, there were quite a few sixth-grade ones. Even a cultivator at the sixth layer of mid-Foundation Establishment would have a very hard time dealing with a sixth-grade spirit beast, let alone a new disciple like her, who in the eyes of others had just barely reached the first layer of Qi Refining. If she claimed to have killed these spirit beasts, it would be too fantastical to be believed.

Chi Junluo secretly glanced at Yun Qian. She saw him in deep thought, the word "suspicion" clearly written on his face. She understood that she had to dispel the doubts of this convenient senior brother of hers today. If Senior Brother Yun Qian really discovered something inhuman about her, there was no guarantee he wouldn't report it to the Xianyuan Sect. At that point, she could forget about getting close to her dear heroine.

If things developed to that point, forming a contract would be basically impossible.

However, Chi Junluo's eyes darkened. With the power this body possessed, she could do whatever she wanted in this world. As long as she dealt with Old Ghost, if her dear heroine wanted to engage in a little "little black room" play, it wouldn't be out of the question.

The Heavenly Dao obviously didn't notice Chi Junluo's dangerous thoughts. It was just thinking about how, if the situation here got out of control, it could intervene to get rid of this meddlesome and suspicious original male lead without being discovered by this world's Heavenly Dao. Heavenly Dao E Feng had been unwilling to expose their existence before in order to stay in this world, complete the mission, and avoid being kicked out or causing more trouble. But if it really came to a direct confrontation, it was, after all, a first-generation Heavenly Dao. Its power was formidable, and it wasn't afraid of these juniors. At worst, it could use its own power to forcibly seal this world, preventing this world's Heavenly Dao from sending out any information. It was just that doing so would consume too much of its essence soul, and it wouldn't resort to it unless absolutely necessary. After all, its mission was not limited to just this.

For a rare moment, even the Heavenly Dao's usually sunny face showed a hint of gloom.

The Chaos Beast not far away had been contracted by Chi Junluo a moment ago. Now, its soul was closely linked with Chi Junluo's. It inexplicably sensed an emotion called "nervousness" from Chi Junluo.

Was that possible?

The Chaos Beast was a little baffled. This little girl from a divine beast clan before it possessed such immense, inexplicable power. How could she possibly be afraid of a mere Golden Core stage human?

Could it be that its new master had some unspeakable secret?

Although it was still a little dissatisfied about being contracted just now, it remembered that this was, after all, a high-level contract from the Upper Realm, not something an ordinary person could use. Since the divine beast girl in front of it didn't want to expose her abilities and identity right now, then it would be merciful and help her out. It wasn't that it wanted to help, of course. It just didn't want to have a hard time under this little girl in the future. It was forced. Yes.

Just as the few people present were lost in their own thoughts, the Chaos Beast, while no one was looking, lightly slapped the ground with its tail. A faint ripple, imperceptible to ordinary people, gently spread out, and a deep blue, jade-pendant-like stone necklace gradually appeared on Chi Junluo's neck.

Golden patterns were entwined on the deep blue stone. A beautiful golden cord passed through the blue stone, hanging quietly on Chi Junluo's neck. If not graceful and luxurious, this deep blue, gold-patterned stone was at least simple and grand.

Yun Qian was dazzled by this sudden development. This deep blue stone was clearly no ordinary item. But Yun Qian, whose cultivation had already reached the Golden Core stage, couldn't even sense the spiritual energy fluctuations from deep within the stone. It was only when he tentatively probed it with his spiritual energy that an overwhelming pressure, accumulated over tens of thousands of years, rushed towards him, almost making his legs go weak and bringing him to his knees.

Yun Qian hastily withdrew his spiritual energy. His small eyes were filled with big questions. So many days had passed; logically, it was impossible for them not to have noticed such a dazzling object. His own master had even helped this little girl change her clothes and hadn't found any strange items on her that could prove her identity.

The Chaos Beast, watching the two people lost in thought, rolled its huge eyes in great dissatisfaction. What was wrong with them? It had gone to all this trouble to arrange such a grand show, and these two had no reaction at all. What a waste of its painstaking efforts!

The Chaos Beast roared angrily at the sky. The two people, lost in thought, jumped in fright, their attention finally returning to the Chaos Beast.

To avoid ruining its image, the Chaos Beast turned its head to roll its eyes before turning back. Then, Yun Qian saw the unknown gray-and-white beast suddenly reveal its sharp claws. It raised a paw, dragged over a nearby spirit beast that was still gasping and wailing, and with two swift swipes, dismembered the spirit beast into equally sized cubes, tossing them in front of Chi Junluo. Then, it took two steps forward and obediently prostrated itself on the ground, its huge beastly eyes fixed intently on the deep blue stone on Chi Junluo's neck.

With the Chaos Beast making it so obvious, Yun Qian finally, belatedly, understood what was going on.

He knew it! How could his cute junior sister be so brutal as to kill so many beasts at only the first layer of Qi Refining? It turned out he had misunderstood his junior sister. The culprit was apparently this ugly, gray-and-white spirit beast in front of them.

Yun Qian decisively forgot the other suspicion he had in his heart. He extended his divine sense and detected that many disciples from other peaks were rushing over. He also understood the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind. The most important thing now wasn't to worry about the beast's situation, but to clean up the scene. These hundreds of spirit beast corpses covering the ground were all shining spirit stones! He was unwilling to let his junior sister's spoils of war be snatched away by disciples from other peaks who came to fish in troubled waters. Wouldn't it be great to use the materials from these spirit beasts to get spirit stones for his junior sister and exchange them for cultivation resources?

Yun Qian took out two bags from his sleeve. He tossed one to his junior sister, Chi Junluo, and opened the other himself. Circulating his spiritual energy, he waved his hands, and the spirit beasts on the ground vanished in large swathes. This was a Sumeru Bag, capable of holding both living and dead things, and requiring only a little spiritual energy to activate.

When Chi Junluo received it, she didn't study it but instinctively began to use the Sumeru Bag. In just a few breaths, the clearing was empty except for the flattened trees and weeds, and the beast still prostrated on the ground.

Under the coverage of his divine sense, he could see that the disciples from the other peaks were about to arrive. Yun Qian hurriedly called for his junior sister to leave quickly. Yun Qian summoned his flying sword and was about to pull his junior sister along when he saw the gray-and-white spirit beast run a few steps forward to Chi Junluo's side. A faint, gray array lit up beneath the girl and the beast. In less than a breath, the array teleported them away.

The approaching sounds of conversation and questions made Yun Qian understand that he had to leave this place of trouble quickly. Flying away directly on his sword would obviously get him discovered. A deep, ink-like color flashed in Yun Qian's eyes. He changed his hand seals, and a thick black mist enveloped his flying sword. Under the cover of night, the ball of black mist vanished on the mountainside of Qingyun Peak.

Soon, a large group of people gathered at the foot of Qingyun Peak. The crowd that arrived late found nothing. Nothing was left at the scene except for bloodstains. It was obvious that a great battle had just occurred here, and perhaps some powerful immortal artifact had appeared. Of all the people present, only those from Qingyun Peak were missing. It was clear that the two disciples from the closest peak, Qingyun Peak, must know something. Unfortunately, with the mountain-protecting array set up by Immortal Venerable Qingyun, no one could enter without an access token. The crowd searched the surroundings for a while before leaving empty-handed, cursing.

Yun Qian returned to his own immortal's cave. It was already too late, so it wasn't convenient for him to disturb his junior sister. Remembering the deep blue stone that had suddenly appeared on his junior sister, and its ancient, historical aura, Yun Qian felt that his junior sister's identity and origins must be extraordinary. He had to report such a major event to his master. But it was already late; everything could wait until morning.

The Chaos Beast had just used its own void teleportation array to instantly transport its "convenient" little master to Qingyun Peak. Because it didn't know the specific location to teleport to, it just randomly found an immortal's cave to land in.

Perhaps due to the transformation under the moon earlier, plus the great battle, Chi Junluo's body had nearly exhausted its energy. As soon as the teleportation array ended, she collapsed and fell asleep. Her small body curled into a ball on the cold floor of the cave. The Chaos Beast wanted to go off to the side to rest, but seeing its "convenient" little master curled up pitifully on the ground, it couldn't bear it. It didn't know why, but its heart softened. So it could only sigh inexplicably, walk over, use its spiritual energy to lift Chi Junluo, and carefully place her on its own body. Feeling the warmth and fluffiness beneath her, Chi Junluo let out a satisfied sigh and continued to sleep.

Outside the mountain, the moonlight was beautiful.
