78: Junior sister, why are you laughing?

At this moment, the entire clearing fell silent. No one made a sound; everyone looked up in fear at the man in black robes who had suddenly appeared in the sky. His black hair danced in the wind, his brows carried a hint of arrogance, and his indifferent gaze looked down upon the crowd.

"Shouldn't this guy be at the Heavenly Demon Cave? Why did he suddenly come here?"

"Does this ruin have something he wants?"

"It's over, it's over. Lu Ya has long been at the Nascent Soul stage. There's simply no fighting this; even calling for backup is useless!"

"Junior Brother Shen, you're causing trouble again, aren't you? It was one thing that you dealt with the Great Xia Inspection Envoy while I was out, but why did you bring this to me and expect me to cover for you? The main point is that I can't handle this!" Lin Qingyue felt a headache coming on. He touched the "Get Lost" at his waist, a hint of determination in his eyes.

Sigh! I am the Senior Brother; I cannot retreat. I'm under so much pressure!

The Cultivators watching from the sidelines were also shocked.

"Bad news, Lu Ya really came!"

"Sigh, the Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples are done for. I'm afraid they'll have to steer clear of Lu Ya from now on..."

"Indeed. I hope they don't resort to violence. They are all Prodigies of the Human Race; they shouldn't be fighting amongst themselves here..."

"Senior Brother!" Seeing the figure in the sky, Wang Yan was overjoyed. She cried out and flew towards Lu Ya, tears streaming down her face.

She didn't forget to look back and provocatively glance at Xia Youyue, a playful smile on her lips, as she transmitted her voice in a low tone.

"Little bitch, let's see what you have to fight me with!"

"It seems your Senior Brother isn't as strong as mine!"

The next second, she turned her face and put on a pitiful expression.

"Senior Brother, this bitch bullied me..."

Wang Yan stood very obediently in front of Lu Ya, pouring out her grievances, though she altered the course of events, claiming that Xia Youyue had seen her weakness and bullied her. The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim.

"Great acting!"

"Little slut!"

Lu Ya didn't speak, just listened quietly, his expression remaining indifferent, showing no change in emotion.

At the same time, the four men from Xuan Guang Cave flew into the air, cupping their hands respectfully and performing the Disciple's salute, their attitude humble to the extreme.

"Senior Brother Lu."

Lu Ya lifted his eyes and looked at the half-step Nascent Soul stage man in the gold robe leading them, finally speaking. His tone was like a superior questioning a subordinate, not a fellow Disciple.

"You, with three others, fought to a draw with two Golden Core Cultivators?"

The gold-robed man's body trembled. He immediately cupped his hands and lowered his head, sweat sliding down his face. He dared not answer, and the other three instantly turned pale.

"Trash."

After these two faint words were spoken, Lu Ya's figure vanished from where he stood. When he reappeared, he was already in the clearing, though his feet remained half an inch off the ground. With one hand behind his back, he looked coldly at what was before him, his gaze landing on Xia Youyue.

Xia Youyue's delicate body trembled slightly. An invisible pressure rushed over her, making it difficult for her to even breathe.

But there was not a trace of fear in her beautiful eyes. She gripped her long spear, and a blue ice Dragon slowly coiled and condensed around the spear, emitting Battle Intent.

Lu Ya's information was listed as important data by the Demon Suppression Division, so she naturally knew that she was definitely not the opponent's match.

If it were her old personality, she would have been more cautious and taken a step back, but things were different now.

At this very moment, on a large locust tree several miles away, two figures stood. No one noticed that they had already been standing there when Lu Ya appeared.

"Senior Brother!!" Xiao Qinger shouted anxiously, her eyes filled with anger.

If Shen Nian hadn't grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and pulled her back, she would have already rushed over to stand with Xia Youyue.

She didn't understand why her Senior Brother, who always sought speed, was so slow today. So slow that she couldn't stand it!!

"Don't panic, I'll take care of him." Shen Nian said indifferently with his hands behind his back, then muttered to himself in his heart: "Must let the Destined Villain run a bit longer..."

The grudge hasn't been formed yet! It must be formed! Otherwise, what will I do if the System doesn't settle the Preacher rewards?

He was afraid that if he rushed out all of a sudden, he would disrupt the plot, and it would be troublesome if he didn't unlock the achievement.

Moreover, with his cultivation far above everyone else's, he could completely control the entire situation. No need to panic!

After hearing these words, Xiao Qinger didn't speak again; she turned her head and looked over with a worried gaze.

In the clearing.

"Great Xia Dragon Interception Art... Interesting." Lu Ya gave a contemptuous smile and then said indifferently: "You are not a Sword Cultivator, why choose the Heavenly Sword Sect? Which Ninth Mountain did you go to?"

Wang Yan, who was in mid-air, heard that Lu Ya didn't immediately trouble Xia Youyue but instead started asking about her background, and was immediately annoyed. She moved her figure.

"Senior Brother, it's this..." Before Wang Yan could finish her sentence, she saw that gaze filled with murderous intent, which instantly made her body tremble, sweat instantly soaking her back, and her face turning pale.

"Get lost."

With this cold word spoken, Wang Yan's scalp went numb. She stiffly took steps to retreat to the side, her whole body trembling, until she stood among the four Disciples of Xuan Guang Cave.

Lu Ya stood with his hands behind his back and continued to look at Xia Youyue, saying: "Since you don't want to say, then forget it."

"I know Wang Yan's personality; she is arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone. It must have been her who humiliated you, and the fault is hers too..."

Xia Youyue raised her brows slightly, and Wang Yan, who was to the side, buried her head even lower.

"But there's no help for it. Who made her my Junior Sister, a person from my Xuan Guang Cave?" Lu Ya said again, but his aura became increasingly terrifying. An invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire clearing, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"This world is such that the strong have no rules, and the weak bow down; it has always been this way. So, don't blame me; if you want to blame someone, just blame me for being stronger than you!"

"Give you two a choice: either kneel and apologize to my Junior Sister, or... be beaten by me until you kneel!"

"How will you choose?"

Once these words were spoken, the whole place went silent. Wang Yan, who was to the side, suddenly looked up, looking at Lu Ya with ecstatic joy, and then looked at Xia Youyue with a cold sneer.

Boom! A terrifying pressure radiated from Lu Ya, instantly locking onto Xia Youyue and Lin Qingyue.

The next second, Lin Qingyue stepped forward to block in front of Xia Youyue and chuckled. One hand gripped the hilt of his unsheathed wooden sword "Get Lost", and at the same time, he transmitted his voice: "Junior Sister, a wise man knows when to retreat. When Junior Brother Shen returns, we will get our revenge. In a moment, I will strike with one sword, and you should seize the opportunity to run. Don't worry about me; Lu Ya wouldn't dare to kill me..."

"I don't want to retreat." Xia Youyue replied with a firm expression. Without a Supreme invincible belief, how could she have grown a supreme bone?

If she retreated today, it would be hard to condense the spirit of invincibility again!

"????" Lin Qingyue was suddenly a bit dumbfounded. You don't want to retreat? Then what do you want to do? A Golden Core fighting a Nascent Soul? Stop messing around, okay? You aren't your Senior Brother!

Following that, Lin Qingyue suddenly thought of Xiao Qinger, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Oh my god! Is this the kind of character Shen Nian recruits? Are all the Junior Sisters of the Ninth Mountain this unyielding?

"Junior Sister, why are you smiling?" Lin Qingyue suddenly saw Xia Youyue start to smile and was a bit dumbfounded. How can she still smile at a time like this?

"Senior Brother Lin, because someone is about to cry soon." Xiao Qinger suddenly walked to Lin Qingyue's side and said solemnly.

At this moment, Lu Ya's brows raised slightly, revealing an unprecedented look of gravity. Looking at the young man in white walking slowly towards him, a fatal sense of crisis welled up in his heart.

"Who are you?"
