Chapter 436 - 20: The Cannon Fodder Eldest Senior Sister in Cultivation Novels (20)

"Don’t step, don’t step, I’ll talk, I’ll talk. Originally, that kid didn’t provoke me, and I wouldn’t have actively provoked him either, but now with you, Calamity Star, forcing me, I have no choice.

He went to Qianqiu Tower, where the bones of ten thousand demons are imprisoned. Once he absorbs them, the Three Realms will truly be under his dominion."

Jiang Lai nodded, lifting the old man in front of him with one hand.

"We, a group of senior and junior brothers, didn’t catch Chu Xiuhuan when we descended to the Mortal World. We’ll definitely get scolded upon returning, so please do us a favor and return to the Immortal Realm with my disciples to report back, and the rest will be your own fate."

The old man laughed heartily.

"Returning to the Immortal Realm is not as good as cultivating demons with me. I see, you have more potential than Chu Xiuhuan! You might even lead our Demon Clan to conquer the Three Realms!"

"Shut up! Look at the disgrace you are, and you still want to drag me down?"

With that, Jiang Lai kicked him twice more to ensure he was powerless to fight back, then put him into the Demon Suppression Bag.

Turning to look at Yu Fanxin, he was still lying on the ground, looking at her dreamily.

"Senior Sister?"

Is it Senior Sister?

Seems like it is, that demeanor, that every move, he’s secretly observed for so long that he wouldn’t get it wrong.

Jiang Lai helped him up, then stuffed the elixir pill he gave back into his mouth.

"What are you looking at?"

Yu Fanxin stared at her, since the last time he secretly glanced at her when she fainted, it’s the first time he’s observed Jiang Lai’s features from such a close distance.

"Senior Sister, you’ve been hiding your strength all along."

Not really.

But Jiang Lai didn’t want to explain, letting him imagine as he pleased.

"You saved me."

"Mm."

"I have nothing to repay you with, only my body..."

Expression showing shyness.

"..."

Jiang Lai frowned at him.

"Say something I don’t want to hear again, and I’ll kick you into the sky."

Then she added.

"You’re not my type."

He might appear tall and handsome to others, but to Jiang Lai, he’s still a weakling, far lesser than the men she’s met before.

Yu Fanxin’s eyes showed a deep sense of shame, feeling for the first time a profound inferiority complex, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into under Jiang Lai’s disdainful gaze.

Yu Fanxin remained silent the entire way.

Back to the sunny spot, all the disciples were waiting there. Seeing Jiang Lai carrying the seriously injured Yu Fanxin, they hurried up.

"Senior Brother, how did you get hurt like this!"

"Quickly, quickly return up to treat the demonic qi in Senior Brother’s body promptly."

"Just hearing that demon’s voice scared me so much, Senior Brother, where’s the Mixed Heaven Beast? Did you subdue it?"

At this moment, Jiang Lai threw over the Demon Suppression Bag.

"Take this back with him, and the rest will go with me to continue looking for Chu Xiuhuan."

The people were about to open the bag but were quickly stopped by Yu Fanxin.

"Don’t want to live? Inside is the Mixed Heaven Beast!"

"Mixed Heaven Beast!!"

The disciple holding the bag instinctively flinched, about to throw away the bag, but rationality kept him calm as he held the bag with trembling hands.

"Senior Brother, you caught the Mixed Heaven Beast?!"

"Wow Senior Brother, you’re amazing! You caught the Mixed Heaven Beast!"

"The Mixed Heaven Beast, this is the Mixed Heaven Beast that was subdued once by Immortal Venerable Rong Yin thousands of years ago, and now Brother Yu has caught it! Brother Yu, you’re really on par with the then Immortal Venerable Rong Yin!"

Everyone was in awe, almost worshipping Yu Fanxin with their gazes.

Unexpectedly, the pale-faced, drowsy Yu Fanxin, upon hearing this, struggled to lift his head, pointing to Jiang Lai.

"It was Senior Sister, Senior Sister caught it, nothing to do with me, I was saved by Senior Sister too..."

After saying these things, Yu Fanxin finally couldn’t hold on and fainted. Everyone hurried to support him, then looked at Jiang Lai, only to feel that Senior Brother was talking nonsense, barely coherent from the pain.

How could Senior Sister, who struggles herself, possibly subdue the Mixed Heaven Beast and also save Senior Brother?

"Senior Sister, come back with us. Now that Senior Brother is injured, we can’t beat Chu Xiuhuan. Searching for him recklessly is seeking death."

"I don’t need you to worry, if you want to return, take him back with you."

Everyone looked at each other, Chu Xuan frowned and said

"Senior Sister, if you don’t return, we can’t explain Brother Yu’s injury."

Yu Fanxin’s background isn’t ordinary, being injured this badly, there would definitely be inquiries. Although catching the Mixed Heaven Beast is a merit, only Senior Brother was injured in the end, and they are unharmed; if Immortal Venerable knew, they’d surely be punished.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lai’s mouth curled into a disdainful smile.

"Back then, when Brother Yu let you run, didn’t you run quickly? Now you don’t know how to explain? Why didn’t any of you help back then?"

On such a large Qimeng Mountain head, everyone is indeed selfish, but it’s understandable, without hoping for future prospects under Rong Yin’s tutelage, thinking for oneself is the only way to stand out.

Jiang Lai didn’t care what these people were planning, her gaze indifferent.

"No words left? Taking him back now is still time, if he dies in the Mortal World, you’ll have a lot to answer for."

"Senior Brother, we better quickly send Senior Brother back, if something really happens, we can’t bear it."

Under Heaven-Reaching Cliff, everyone was dumbfounded seeing the waterfall cliff disappearing into thin air.

"Where’s Heaven-Reaching Cliff? How come it’s gone?!"

No one expected the only way back to the Immortal Realm to disappear; what should they do now?

"Message the Immortal Venerable, quickly have the Immortal Realm send someone down to treat Brother Yu!"

The sent message received no response for a long time, not knowing what Rong Yin was doing in the Immortal Realm, completely unreactive to his disciple’s severe injury below.

At the same time, in the hall of Qimeng Mountain, Rong Yin waved his sleeve, saw the transmission from the Mortal World, and clearly saw the severely injured, unconscious Yu Fanxin in the scene.

"Mixed Heaven Beast..."

If Yu Fanxin has the capability to capture the Mixed Heaven Beast, he naturally has the ability to endure, when the demonic qi enters and things spiral out of control, the Immortal Emperor will naturally be anxious, then, opening Heaven-Reaching Cliff, he will have the chance to go to the Mortal World to find Meng Tao.

——

"Why isn’t Master responding?!"

"Look at Brother Yu’s wound, it’s starting to turn black?"

"Demonic qi entered his body, do you remember how Brother Chu Xiuhuan fell? It was by being injured capturing demons in the Mortal World, the demonic qi invaded, and during cultivation, he went mad and completely fell, Brother Yu won’t..."

"Don’t talk nonsense! Brother Yu was born an Immortal, with a strong Immortal Bone, he can’t be like Chu Xiuhuan, besides, the Immortal Realm will surely send help soon."
