Drip~

Congratulations, Master, on successfully listening to the Persuasion System. With a five-star rating, you have earned double the super rewards.

Congratulations, Master, for obtaining a protective treasure—a Sacrificial Puppet, a Random Teleportation Talisman, and the cultivation technique, Eight-Nine Profound Technique.

Congratulations, Master, on listening to the Persuasion System and receiving the reward—five years of cultivation.

Su Yan was overjoyed.

Five years of cultivation! It should be enough to help me break through a few minor realms.

However, it was not the right time to reveal his newfound power, so he did not immediately absorb the cultivation into his body.

At the same time, the Eight-Nine Profound Technique in his mind became exceptionally clear. As long as he found a safe place, he could immediately begin cultivating.

Moreover, two precious artifacts lay quietly in the system's storage space.

Sacrificial Puppet: A mysterious puppet that, after recognizing its master through blood, can sacrifice itself once to save its master's life!

Random Teleportation Talisman: Once activated, it ignores all restrictions and seals, forcibly teleporting the user to any point within a million li, regardless of formation constraints or innate Dao patterns.

Note: Random teleportation does not guarantee safety. It may transport you to a dangerous location or only a tiny distance. Use with caution.

"Wow, and it's a five-star reward!"

"Isn't the Eight-Nine Profound Technique the cultivation technique of Erlang Shen?"

"The Sacrificial Puppet is simply amazing!"

"The Random Teleportation Talisman is a good thing, even if it's a bit random."

"As for the five years of cultivation, it's probably because of the advice from the chat group members?"

"But... 666!"

"This time, I feel a bit more at ease. Going to this goddess' sect will be less worrisome, at least I'll have an extra life."

Su Yan took a deep breath.

He was thrilled.

Xiao Ling'er also smiled, "Since it's like this, you can follow us."

"By the way, my name is Xiao Ling'er."

"This is Dragon Aojiao."

"And this little girl is Xiao Longnv."

"Apart from Dragon Aojiao, we're all on the same side."

"..." Su Yan hurriedly bowed, but he felt a bit distant towards Dragon Aojiao.

However...

He was curious about her unique attire.

This was definitely not something from the Immortal Martial Continent, but she wasn't a transmigrator... Hmm, wait, not necessarily! Perhaps she was a transmigrator from another world, and that's why she didn't know the March of the Volunteers.

That was also a possibility.

"I am Su Yan, and I've had the honor of meeting you, goddesses."

Xiao Ling'er felt a bit embarrassed, "Just call me Xiao Ling'er. If my Master is willing to take you in, you'll be my little junior brother."

"Then I've met my senior sister."

Su Yan chuckled, "I'll definitely work hard to be accepted by our Master."

Xiao Longnv was delighted and grinned.

Along the way, others had called her a little girl, but this was the first time someone had addressed her as an elder sister.

As for Dragon Aojiao, she had intended to retort, but then she thought, you know, the title 'goddess' sounded quite nice. After all, she was now Dragon Aojiao, not Dragon Aojiao Tian.

So be it.

And thus, the four of them quickly became acquainted.

Soon after, Xiao Ling'er and Dragon Aojiao started 'scavenging'.

Heavenly Poison Valley had been reduced to ruins, but its treasure vault was still well preserved.

After destroying the sect, how could they not loot the treasures? They reaped a bountiful harvest!

There were all sorts of good things, even if they couldn't use them; others could.

All useless?

Even if they were exchanged for other resources, it would still be excellent.

After they were done, they hurried to Windfire Palace! Compared to Heavenly Poison Valley, Windfire Palace's resistance was even weaker.

It wasn't that Windfire Palace was much weaker than Heavenly Poison Valley, but the Windfire Palace system had inherent issues.

In Windfire Palace, the Wind and Fire factions supported each other, but at the same time, they also competed!

This competition wasn't necessarily bad during peaceful times, as both factions vied for dominance, driving development.

But this was not a 'peaceful period'.

Currently, the upper echelons and powerful figures of Windfire Palace were all dead.

Without the suppression of top-tier experts or the presence of a Sect Leader, Windfire Palace fell into complete chaos.

Without a tiger in the mountains, the monkeys become kings.

Both factions wanted to take charge, so even before the enemies arrived, they fought among themselves.

And they fought fiercely!

So fierce that even dogs would have their brains beaten out.

The few Inner Gate Elders who remained were either killed or maimed.

Then, when the disciples below saw this, they exclaimed, "The upper management is in disarray! It's too dangerous to stay here. What should we do?"

"Let's escape!"

"..."

The situation became even more chaotic.

The people above fought for dominance, not yielding to each other, fighting to the death.

They even called for reinforcements.

When one was defeated, they would send their Dao partners or other disciples to continue the fight.

The lower disciples, upon learning that the Sect Leader and top experts were dead, and with the remaining members in disarray, feared for their lives and dared not stay.

Some chose to desert immediately.

Some...

decided to loot some resources first before deserting.

Thus, Windfire Palace fell into complete anarchy.

It was a scene of utter 'turmoil'.

When Xiao Ling'er and the others arrived, this was the scene they witnessed.

Within Windfire Palace, smoke and dust filled the air, and fires blazed everywhere.

Explosions and loud noises could be heard from afar.

Scenes of internal battles were commonplace.

Thieves and rats scurried about, and those trying to escape quietly were countless.

"..."

Seeing this, Xiao Longnv couldn't help but mutter, "The sect's unity is so poor. Even before the enemies arrive, they're fighting among themselves, and many have been killed, right?"

Dragon Aojiao scoffed, "Human nature is inherently greedy and ugly. I'm not surprised by their behavior."

Su Yan shrank his neck, following closely behind the three women, not daring to make a sound, let alone stray far from them.

Another great battle! But this time, instead of the battle finding him, he 'actively' sought out such a battle, and it was indeed thrilling! However, it seemed like there was also an opportunity to reap some benefits~ Even if it was just a mosquito's leg, it was still meat.

Upon witnessing Dragon Aojiao's prowess, he hurriedly asked in the chat group, "Seniors, should I make a move?"

"If I don't take action, won't I seem particularly useless and clueless?"

Boundless Thought: "..."

Song Ru: "..."

Little Mage: "..."

I, Holy Maiden Knight: "Brother, although you've already hitched your wagon to a powerful figure, I think it's better if you don't take action. After all, who can guarantee there aren't hidden dangers or formidable individuals lurking within the Windfire Palace?"

"Once you make a move or get separated, we newbies will be so unlucky that even the dead might suddenly reanimate and take you down."

Song Ru: "That's right, we newbies are just too unlucky."

Boundless Thought: "Senior, do you have the right to say that? Aren't you the safest and most carefree newbie among us?"

Song Ru: "Can't I trust what I hear from you all?"

Boundless Thought: "Senior, you make a lot of sense, I'm speechless."

Su Yan heeded the advice and, after receiving his reward, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior Song Ru, I'm a bit curious, what cultivation level are you at now?"

"I don't know how your world compares to mine."

"But based on the data, I've entered the seventh realm." Song Ru seemed quite pleased with himself: "However, my divine body breaks through realms slowly."

"But my combat power is still quite formidable."

"Within the seventh realm, there should be no one who can match me."

"Oh?"

Su Yan was overjoyed: "So powerful?"

Boundless Thought: "Isn't that obvious? A Holy Land Son, how many aren't peerless in the same rank? Or rather, if they can't dominate their peers, they wouldn't dare call themselves sons!"

Su Yan: "Well, what if they are both Holy Sons and in the same realm?"

Boundless Thought: "..."

"Can't you stop interrupting?"

Song Ru: "In that case, it's the brave who wins when paths cross."

"But I firmly believe I'm peerless in the same rank!"

During their conversation, Su Yan closely followed Xiao Ling'er, fearing they might encounter danger.

Soon, the Windfire Palace, which was already in internal strife, followed in the footsteps of Heavenly Poison Valley.

Although some of their members were likely still outside, this didn't mean that all of Heavenly Poison Valley's members were completely wiped out. However, this action maximized the chances of eradicating them, so there was no need to be afraid.

Subsequently...

Another sweep commenced.

After it was completed, Dragon Aojiao waved her skirt and left without a trace: "It's just like that."

"With a snap of this girl's fingers, the enemies turn to ashes."

"Divine Sister is invincible." Su Yan quickly flattered her: "You're so powerful, Divine Sister."

He realized that Dragon Aojiao was the strongest and the most arrogant.

Little Dragon Maiden seemed ordinary, but in reality, she possessed great treasures and couldn't be provoked.

As for Xiao Ling'er, she was the most upright and was likely to be his future senior sister. For now, she seemed to be the most approachable one.

"Of course."

"You can't even imagine how powerful this girl is."

Dragon Aojiao stood proudly, her large eyes filled with arrogance: "The path this girl walks is the path of invincibility! On this path, I am invincible."

"Who among my peers can rival this girl?"

"Even the sons of the immortal ancient clans will bow down before this girl's skirt."

"I'll suppress all the enemies of this era!"

"Sss!"

Su Yan gave her face, expressing his shock: "Divine Sister is so amazing!"

"I admire you greatly."

"It's only right that you admire me."

Dragon Aojiao glanced at him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Do you mean to say this girl is inferior to those sons and heirs?"

"Hmph!"

"Peerless in the same rank? A mere peerless in the same rank, this girl could achieve it at ten years old!"

"Ever since then, I've been lonely at the top, being peerless in the same rank is already a thing of the past. Being peerless among my peers and suppressing all enemies of this era, that's the true destiny of this girl."

"What are sons and heirs compared to that?"

"Whoever dares to challenge me, bring them before my eyes."

"Watch as I suppress them all!"

Seeing that she was unhappy, Su Yan didn't dare question her further and replied, "I naturally believe that you're invincible, Divine Sister. It's just that my knowledge is limited, and I'm unaware of these details. Please don't blame me, Divine Sister."

"Never mind, ignorance is not a crime."

"However, you must remember, those sons and heirs, before this girl, they're nothing but chickens and dogs."

"I can suppress them with just one hand!"

Little Dragon Maiden exclaimed, "Wow, Sister Aojiao is so amazing!"

"Even my senior sister has such a demeanor."

Dragon Aojiao: "..."

Xiao Ling'er silently shook her head.

"This Dragon Aojiao has always been so arrogant and full of herself."

Medicinal Nun: "The key point is that she's not boasting, she genuinely believes she can do it."

"But can she really do it?"

"It's hard to say. Those sons and heirs didn't gain their reputation for nothing, but Dragon Aojiao is also invincibly formidable. If they were to fight, it's hard to tell who would win."

(Chapter End)

Who's stronger and who's weaker, only a fight will tell.

"Let's find a place."

Dragon Aojiao surveyed the area and said, "Go refine some pills for me!"

Then she added, "Oh, about this place, do you want the Moon Embrace Sect?"

Xiao Ling'er sighed lightly, "I can't afford it."

"That's true."

Dragon Aojiao realized, "You're right, although the Moon Embrace Sect's current strength is barely passable, they have too few people and lack a solid core. With the Windfire Palace and Heavenly Poison Valley so far apart, it's impossible to manage both places effectively."

"Yes, we have no choice but to give up for now. There will be opportunities to expand in the future."

Xiao Ling'er had deeply considered this, and after discussing it with Lin Fan, they decided to let it go.

They naturally desired territory, but there was no way around it.

On the other hand, the Xi Men family could still have Sang Biao and the others manage those territories. For now, they couldn't afford to take on these two places.

The two sects had the Hidden Soul Palace backing them. If the sects were destroyed, the Hidden Soul Palace wouldn't seek revenge, but they wouldn't ignore such a humiliating matter.

The Moon Embrace Sect's combat strength was already insufficient, so how could they possibly manage two or even three places?

They had no choice but to give up for now.

However, having taken the resources from these two sects was already considered a great profit.

As they chatted, they continued on their journey.

Little Dragon Maiden was in high spirits today, occasionally breaking into silly smiles.

Su Yan found it hard to get a word in edgewise.

So, he chatted and joked in the group, seeking advice.

As the conversation went on, he thought of Song Ru's formidable strength and asked, "Oh, about that, Song Ru, I have a 7th Realm powerhouse here who claims he can single-handedly suppress all Holy Sons and Clan Sons. He even says he's invincible in this era..."

"I wonder if the great one can discern the truth?"

"Or, does the great one have any suggestions? Please, please."

Song Ru: "..."

"Who's so shameless?"

"Take a photo and let me see!"

He wasn't convinced.

Although he often self-deprecatingly joked in the group, claiming he wasn't that amazing, as a Holy Son, who wouldn't have some fire or confidence?

Although he hadn't fought other Holy Sons, his master and fellow disciples had repeatedly asserted that he could already be considered peerless in the same rank.

Over time, he naturally believed it.

Now, suddenly someone appears, claiming to be invincible in this era and wanting to suppress an era? I want to see who's so arrogant and shameless.

"Then..."

"That's fine too." Su Yan was about to take a photo secretly, but suddenly realized, "Wait, our chat group doesn't have sound, does it? Don't let them find out."

"..."

Song Ru: "Are you playing with your phone? Hurry up and take the photo!"

"I want to see what kind of person this is."

"If I don't see any remarkable talent, I'll transfer some credits to you myself, and you'll summon me over. I'll fight him a good fight!"

Su Yan: "..." You're such a playboy.

Si Wu Ya: "What do you mean?"

Su Yan: "The photo."

The next second.

Little Mage: "???"

I, Holy Maiden Knight: "??? Wow, she's so pretty, I love it, send more!"

Si Wu Ya: "A beauty!!! And her outfit, is she from my hometown?"

Song Ru: "..."

"This beauty is a bit eccentric, quick, I'll transfer you some credits, you summon me over, and I'll have a 300-round battle with her!"

Su Yan: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of playboy."

"But a 300-round battle, let's forget about that. I still need to get along with them, if this causes misunderstandings or trouble, how will I survive my newbie period?"

Song Ru: "..., I was being reckless."

"Such a pretty girl can't possibly be peerless in the same rank! And her outfit, I've never seen such sexy legs from a hometown girl!"

"I never saw it before my transmigration, and after these years, I haven't even seen it in my dreams, sigh..."

"Promise me!"

"In the future, if there's a chance, I must go and spar with her!"

"If not, just looking is good enough."

Su Yan: "(⊙o⊙)..."

I thought you great ones would all be dignified and serious, but I never expected you to be just like me?

Pfft~~!

...

Half a day later.

Xiao Ling'er refined three furnaces of Fusion Essence Pills, all 8th grade.

Dragon Aojiao was quite satisfied.

Then, she waved her hand and left.

Xiao Ling'er didn't hesitate either. She immediately brought Little Dragon Maiden and Su Yan and headed towards the Moon Embrace Sect.

But along the way, things weren't peaceful.

They encountered several strange dangers.

There were those who 'robbed and looted'.

There were those who lusted after Xiao Ling'er's beauty and made their moves.

There were even those who followed the scent.

It was all very strange for Xiao Ling'er, but fortunately, her strength was sufficient, and Little Dragon Maiden was by her side, holding the 'True Nuclear Armament'. So, nothing went wrong.

Only Su Yan kept his neck tucked in, like a quail, not daring to speak up.

Dangerous?

Strange dangers?

Strange dangers, indeed. These dangers would have put Su Yan in life-threatening situations each time, but with Elder Sister in front, he basically had no worries.

"But speaking of which, having a backer is good."

"If I were alone, these dangers would make every moment life-threatening. But with Elder Sister in front, I basically have no worries."

"After joining the sect, it'll definitely be safer, right?"

"But the prerequisite is that the great one will accept me."

"Well, I hope she'll accept me since we're from the same hometown."

"Wait, that's not right~"

"The more we're from the same hometown, the more cautious we should be.
