Chapter 351: The Situation Is Like This

Ren Yuning immediately stopped hesitating and turned to walk down the mountain.

At that moment, the Battle Soldier next to her sensed movement, and the mirror in his hand instantly shot out a beam of light, freezing Ren Yuning in place.

“Little girl, don’t even think about escaping in front of me!”

Feeling powerless to move again, Ren Yuning’s eyes blazed with anger.

She hated this damned artifact!

However, Ren Yuning also did not struggle further; she knew it would be hard to break free from the control of this artifact. Instead, she asked,

“Are you Ye Wuchen?”

The Golden Valiant Warrior shook his head and replied,

“I am just a remnant soul.”

At that moment, another voice came from the fixed-point object:

“Now that you know you are a remnant soul, why don’t you listen to advice?”

The Golden Valiant Warrior sighed,

“Huang Tian, stop trying to persuade me. I have already decided how to proceed. It’s nice to just stay here and rest; we can keep our distance from each other, isn’t that good?”

Ren Yuning was slightly stunned listening to the conversation between the Battle Soldier and the voice in the mirror.

The artifact can speak?

She didn’t expect it to actually be a spiritual treasure.

No wonder it had such power!

While the Golden Valiant Warrior and the main body of the fixed-point object spoke, Little Black and Xuanqing were also stirring.

At this moment, Xuanqing had long since awakened, looking at Little Black with eyes full of disdain, clearly not taking him seriously.

Naturally, Little Black, feeling disrespected, was unhappy!

Who is he? He is the king among dogs.

In this small patch of land on Jingtan Peak, which spiritual grain dared to disrespect him?

The two beasts hadn’t spoken yet, but their eyes were already filled with a strong fighting spirit.

In the next moment, both beasts revealed their true forms, ready for battle!

At this time, the Golden Valiant Warrior, still arguing, turned his gaze over with an amused expression.

And the immobilized Ren Yuning could only watch from the side.

However, when she saw the true forms of the two beasts, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

She had encountered the turtle before, but the Xuanwu had not shown its true form at that time. Now, seeing it, Ren Yuning quickly discerned that this was not an ordinary spiritual beast with True Spirit bloodline, but a genuine Xuanwu True Spirit.

That aside, looking at the dog across from her, it was also no ordinary spiritual beast.

Its aura of True Spirits was not overwhelming, yet its presence was not to be underestimated.

Upon seeing the two spiritual beasts, Ren Yuning sighed inwardly. Not to mention the Battle Soldier, even against these two spiritual beasts, she doubted she could win, which made it impossible for her to escape from Jingtan Peak.

Although her father was a Sect Leader, rescuing someone from the He Dao Sect would be incredibly difficult.

Thinking of this, Ren Yuning quietly clenched her fists.

She and Ji Yang were enemies!

Just as the two beasts prepared to fight, a soft cough came from the wooden house.

Hearing the sound, Little Black’s expression changed, and he immediately shrank back to his original size.

The transformed Xuanqing also felt an invisible pressure descend above him at that moment.

The sharp and powerful aura caused Xuanqing to show a hint of panic in his eyes.

The person inside the wooden house was unfathomably strong, with pressure even deeper than that of his Xuanwu clan’s Ancestor.

He had come here only to ask Ji Yang for some pills, but he didn’t want to be stewed!

Xuanqing quickly returned to his previous size.

However, the hostility remained in the gazes of both beasts.

As the cough subsided, Ren Yuning also felt the restraints on her body lift.

At the same time, a lightly spoken voice reached her ears:

“Do not leave the peak!”

Upon hearing the voice, Ren Yuning’s eyes shifted slightly. The identity of this person was obvious; it must be Ji Yang’s Master.

But at this point, she could only comply.

With this person here in Jingtan Peak, she could not escape no matter what.

It seemed she could only wait for her Sect Leader father to come to her rescue.

However, Ye Wuchen had only said not to let him leave the peak, without mentioning that she couldn’t move. Since that was the case, she decided to walk around Jingtan Peak and also collect some information about the He Dao Sect. That way, when she left, she could contribute to her sect!

Ren Yuning tried taking a few steps, and seeing that the Battle Soldier and the person in the wooden house did not stop her, she walked away confidently.

After wandering around for a bit, Ren Yuning felt even more speechless.

In the eyes of the Heaven Demon Sect, Jingtan Peak was the most mysterious place of the He Dao Sect, but to her surprise, it was just full of spiritual grains.

Only the types of spiritual grains were somewhat different.

Yet even if they were top-quality spiritual grains, she had seen plenty of them in her sect.

Recalling the information she had seen before, Ren Yuning realized this must all be Ji Yang’s doing.

This sparked a sense of curiosity in her heart; given his rapid rise in cultivation, which was rare in the world, could there be a secret behind it?

Perhaps it was related to these spiritual grains?

With this thought, Ren Yuning began to study carefully.

If she could find the unusual aspects of these spiritual grains, she might uncover Ji Yang’s secret!

……

“Elder Liu, this is how things are!”

“So, you are saying you kidnapped the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Heaven Demon Sect?”

“Mm, that’s about it!”

Seeing Ji Yang nod, even the experienced Elder Liu found himself at a loss for words for a moment.

In the sect, trials were usually meant to allow disciples to gain more experience outside, so while the tasks may seem difficult, there was actually a lot of room for maneuvering in between.

Even if the trial failed, it wouldn’t be such a big deal.

However, Ji Yang’s task this time was to investigate the latest developments of the demonic sect, and he never expected that Ji Yang directly kidnapped the daughter of the Heaven Demon Sect’s Sect Leader!

This matter was significant; who in the Cultivation World didn’t know that the Sect Leader of the Heaven Demon Sect had a beloved only daughter?

If handled improperly, it might put the sect in a bit of danger.

Of course, as a top sect, He Dao Sect certainly would not fear the Heaven Demon Sect.

However, due to the explosion incident involving the Corpse Mushroom in the spiritual herb garden, many other sects were keeping an eye on He Dao Sect.

Even other righteous sects had sent numerous people to investigate.

In this complex web of relationships, engaging in battle with the Heaven Demon Sect was not a good choice and could likely lead to greater losses, yielding results that were disproportionate to the costs, which the sect absolutely wanted to avoid.

How to properly and perfectly handle this matter was crucial.

After pondering for a moment, Elder Liu turned and flew towards the main hall of He Dao Sect:

“I will report this to the Sect Master and see how the Sect Master decides to handle it.”

Ji Yang was taken aback and hurriedly asked:

“What about her?”

“For now, let her stay on Jingtan Peak. Since you brought her back, you should help the sect keep watch over her for the time being!”

Ji Yang’s expression darkened; he had actually planned to hand Ren Yuning over!

After all, Ye Wuchen preferred tranquility, and he also needed to focus on farming—how could he find time to take care of that young lady!

However, he had long expected this outcome.

It was just that his hopes had been dashed, leaving him feeling a bit disappointed.

He had perfectly completed this trial for the sect, and he hadn’t even received any rewards.

Guarding the sect’s spiritual herb garden would have been quite good.

However, he believed the sect was unlikely to let him take on that responsibility.
