326: No different from ants

After speaking, the girl added somewhat uncertainly:

"Or is it Number Three?"

Yan Shu and the others all looked up at this Uninvited Guest, their hearts instantly raising the highest alarm, everyone extremely vigilant.

After all, the Cultivation World has always had an unwritten rule: whenever encountering children, Young Girls, elders, or beggars, one must be especially careful. These seemingly insignificant characters often hide earth-shaking power, and one might easily capsize in a ditch.

Especially this Young Girl before them, her divine brilliance was restrained and not outwardly revealed. Clearly, she was not truly young but deliberately maintained this charming appearance.

What was even more alarming was that before she spoke, no one present had noticed her existence.

This situation could only mean two possibilities: either the other party's Realm far surpassed everyone's, having reached the state of returning to simplicity and concealing their presence without a trace; or she possessed a superior concealment treasure that could hide her aura completely.

However, given the current circumstances, Yan Shu leaned more toward the latter.

He forcefully suppressed the turmoil in his heart, steadied his mind, and tentatively cupped his hands to ask:

"May I ask, Senior, where are you from? Why are you here?"

Leng Yimei glanced at him indifferently, her tone unceremonious: "Little Snake Spirit, shut up. I'm not here for you. If you meddle, I'll have no choice but to hit you."

With one sentence, she exposed his true form.

Yan Shu's heart boiled with anger, but he dared not say another word, only glaring at the girl with a sinister gaze. The other four from the Demon Suppressing Tower did the same, their eyes full of apprehension.

Under the simultaneous gaze of five unfriendly eyes, Leng Yimei was slightly taken aback, then cautiously raised her hand, stuffing the Tanghulu in her hand into her mouth in two or three bites. With her cheeks bulging, she chewed and swallowed it all, then patted her chest, let out a long sigh of relief, and completely relaxed.

On the other side, Master Qing Xuan was pondering her earlier words, "Number Six? Or is it Number Three?"—what did this mean?

There were clearly only the Demon Suppressing Tower and their two factions present. Since she wasn't here for Yan Shu and the others, he lowered his voice and looked at Chu Haotian beside him:

"Haotian? Could it be..."

"Yes." Chu Haotian nodded slightly, his expression grave. "This person is here for me."

He had vaguely guessed the other party's identity, but he never expected how his own identity had been exposed.

Leng Yimei impatiently urged: "Stop dawdling. Hurry up and hand over the Chaos Void Jade."

"This Junior is very curious. How exactly did you determine that I was the target?"

Leng Yimei lightly raised her delicate hand, and the palm-sized Stone Mirror immediately broke free from Chu Haotian's control, transforming into a stream of light flying toward her palm.

Seeing this, Chu Haotian's pupils suddenly contracted, a piercing chill shooting from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"This mirror led me here."

Leng Yimei played with the Stone Mirror in her hand, casually saying, "Revered Master said he left a trace of aura on this mirror. As long as someone fully activates this treasure, the aura will automatically guide me here."

"What a deep scheme." Chu Haotian sighed inwardly.

"So stop the nonsense. Hurry up and hand over the Chaos Void Jade. I still have to rush back to the Sect to eat Little Soup Dumplings." Leng Yimei said, extending her fair and tender little hand.

Master Qing Xuan, listening nearby, was confused but managed to sort out some clues: it seemed that when Haotian used this heaven-rank magic treasure, he inadvertently attracted this girl. To leave an aura on a heaven-rank magic treasure without the user noticing, this girl's Revered Master's Realm must be unfathomable.

But this "Chaos Void Jade"—he had never heard of it. What kind of supreme treasure was it?

Chu Haotian took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Miss, this Junior has an unreasonable request. If you agree, this Junior will definitely hand over the Chaos Void Jade."

As soon as the words fell, a sharp ripple of Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted around Leng Yimei.

Everyone felt a pressure like mountains and seas suddenly descend, their bones faintly creaking under the pressure—Body Integration Realm!

This Young Girl was actually a powerhouse of at least the Body Integration Realm!

"I'm not here to negotiate with you."

Chu Haotian, expression unchanged, continued: "If you don't agree, then you'll have to search for the fragments of the Chaos Void Jade yourself. With your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to find, but how much time it will take, this Junior cannot say."

Hearing this, Leng Yimei's little face instantly fell, her brows furrowing, revealing a worried expression.

After a moment, she compromised and said: "Then tell me, what's the request? I'll listen first."

Seeing this, Yan Shu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Wasn't this situation exactly what the storybooks called "complicating matters"? A strong sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

"I hope you can help this Junior eliminate these five people," Chu Haotian raised his hand and pointed at Yan Shu's group, his tone resolute. "This Junior will immediately hand over the Chaos Void Jade."

Hearing this, Wei Ling and the others inwardly cursed Chu Haotian to the extreme, a torrent of colorful language racing through their hearts, their faces turning green and white.

Yan Shu reacted the fastest, immediately suppressing all hostility, putting on a fawning smile, bowing and cupping his hands, his attitude extremely respectful: "Senior, please calm your anger! Don't listen to this kid's nonsense! This Junior boldly begs you to be a bystander today. After this matter is settled, the five of us are willing to help you search for that Chaos Void Jade with all our might, following your lead!"

Wei Ling and the other four also hurriedly chimed in, each nodding and bowing, doing their utmost to flatter.

"Yes, Senior!"

"We are willing to serve you like dogs and horses, only asking you to see clearly!"

"Senior, with your great divine abilities, mere Chaos Void Jade is nothing. We will definitely help you find it. Please don't listen to this kid's slander!"

Seeing this, Chu Haotian said solemnly again: "Only I in this world know where the Chaos Void Jade is. If you don't believe me, you can try."

Hearing this, Leng Yimei's tense little face immediately relaxed, and she lightly patted her chest again: "So it's such a small matter. You should have said so earlier."

She glanced at Yan Shu and the other four, who were still fawning, her eyes eager: "Actually, you didn't need to go to this trouble. Revered Master said, humans and demons cannot coexist. Since I've encountered these evil Demonic Beasts, I naturally won't let them go."

As the words fell, Leng Yimei didn't even move her feet, just casually raised her fair little hand.

The Spiritual Qi lingering at her fingertips seemed as thin as a thread, but it carried an overwhelming pressure, like a towering Mount Tai collapsing, instantly enveloping Yan Shu and the other four.

Yan Shu's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and he shouted in a deep voice:

"Run!"

The five of them, like startled birds, fled in panic toward five different directions, pushing their movement techniques to the limit, wishing they had wings to escape this desperate situation.

But that seemingly weak torrent of Spiritual Qi seemed to have eyes, splitting into five streams, catching up to the fleeing figures from behind.

"Thump, thump, thump—"

Several dull explosions sounded in succession in the air, piercing and eerie.

Where the Spiritual Qi torrent passed, Yan Shu and the other four were as fragile as paper, instantly crushed to pieces. They didn't even manage to let out a complete scream before their bodies shattered inch by inch under the terrifying pressure, turning into a mist of crimson blood that scattered in the wind.

Two Demon Cores spun into the girl's hand.

Just moments ago, Yan Shu and the other four were pressing forward step by step, forcing Chu Haotian and the other two into a desperate situation; now, five Void Refining Realm powerhouses had already perished, leaving not a trace behind.

In just an instant, the situation had turned upside down.

Master Qing Xuan, watching from the side, was deeply shaken, breaking out in a cold sweat on his back, his heart pounding wildly.

Was this... the strength of a Body Integration Realm powerhouse?

That was the Realm True Person Tianxuan had pursued with all his life's effort but ultimately failed to reach. So before such absolute power, five Void Refining Realm Cultivators were no different from ants.
