The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

A single voice may not be particularly loud, but when many voices unite, they form a surging torrent.

Ye Danxia’s body went limp.

She could do nothing but look tearfully at Zhao Wuji.

Master was the sect leader.

If he was willing, he could surely save her.

“Oh? What’s everyone doing here? No wonder I couldn’t find anyone after wandering around the sect for so long,” a surprised voice suddenly rang out.

That voice… Zhao Wuji’s expression shifted slightly.

The crowd turned to look, also somewhat surprised.

Two identical twins had arrived: Zhou Li and Zhou Dai.

These two were Zhao Wuji’s third and fourth disciples.

Though twins, their personalities differed—one rash, the other meticulous. Their greatest commonality was their love for battle.

As such, they were usually either out on sect missions or preparing for them.

Their return now must be to report on a completed mission.

Zhao Wuji, eager for a distraction, quickly said, “Zhou Li, Zhou Dai, come forward.”

Zhou Li, carefree by nature, noticed nothing amiss and walked right over.

Zhou Dai, however, swiftly assessed the situation and sensed something was off.

“Hey! Second Senior Brother, why are you standing here?” Zhou Li suddenly spotted Gu Jinghong and patted his shoulder.

Gu Jinghong silently removed Zhou Li’s hand.

“Second Senior Brother, why are you so cold to me?” Zhou Li felt somewhat angry.

It had been a while since the brothers had seen each other. Shouldn’t they be reconnecting?

“Third Junior Brother,” Gu Jinghong said flatly, “Don’t call me Second Senior Brother anymore. I’m no longer part of the Sect Leader’s lineage.”

No longer part of the Sect Leader’s lineage?

What did that mean?

Zhou Li’s expression changed dramatically. He was about to say something when Zhou Dai pulled him back forcefully.

Though not particularly clever, Zhou Li was accustomed to listening to his brother, so he reluctantly held back.

Zhou Dai led Zhou Li before Zhao Wuji.

The two bowed respectfully.

Zhou Dai spoke, “Master, we’ve successfully completed our mission. We uncovered ten demon clan hideouts, and the details have been submitted to the Demon-Breaking Alliance. Due to our significant contribution, the Alliance has given us a commendation.”

As he spoke, Zhou Dai respectfully produced a token with the characters for “Demon-Breaking” boldly inscribed upon it.

This was… a Demon-Breaking Token!

Though only the lowest-grade token, it was still a Demon-Breaking Token!

Zhao Wuji’s eyes immediately lit up.

In the current world, humans and demon clans were at odds. Rumors spoke of a newly emerged Demon Lord with terrifying, heavenly cultivation. Months ago, experts from the Four Great Holy Lands had joined forces to attack, but the Demon Lord had escaped, though grievously wounded and unable to make any major moves for now. The demon clans had shifted from overt to covert actions, slowly infiltrating the cultivation world and employing small schemes in various cities.

Subsequently, the Four Great Holy Lands had spearheaded the formation of the Demon-Breaking Alliance, encompassing nearly all sects, with the goal of uniting to prevent demon infiltration.

To encourage participation, those making significant contributions to thwarting the demons could earn Demon-Breaking Tokens. Zhou Li and Zhou Dai’s token was only the lowest-grade green token.

However, given the demons’ ferocity, their ability to uncover ten hideouts and return unscathed, even earning a reward, was already unparalleled in Tianxing Sect.

Furthermore, the Four Great Holy Lands believed that demon-breaking was now the top priority. Disciples holding Demon-Breaking Tokens enjoyed the Alliance’s protection. Even if they committed offenses, they would be judged by the Alliance rather than their original sects.

“Give it to me!” Zhao Wuji’s eyes gleamed as he thought of this.

Zhou Li and Zhou Dai didn’t understand why their master was so excited.

But thinking he might be happy for them, smiles appeared on their faces.

Zhou Dai stepped forward and respectfully handed the token to Zhao Wuji.

“Good, you two have done very well!” Zhao Wuji smiled.

Rarely seeing their master so animated, Zhou Li and Zhou Dai felt touched.

The next moment.

Zhao Wuji asked, “Now that you’ve given this token to your master, may I dispose of it as I see fit?”

Zhou Li and Zhou Dai were taken aback but replied, “Of course.”

“You’re voluntarily gifting this to me?” Zhao Wuji asked again.

He had to ask; if it wasn’t voluntary, nothing else mattered.

The two assented once more.

Zhao Wuji finally relaxed and immediately said, “Then at this moment, I voluntarily gift this token to your Little Junior Sister! Danxia, come forward!”

Zhou Li & Zhou Dai: “???”

Gu Jinghong watched and couldn’t help but laugh.

Previously, he had been the unfortunate one. Now it was someone else’s turn.

He found it rather amusing.

Ye Danxia, not knowing what a Demon-Breaking Token was, still hurried forward at Zhao Wuji’s command.

Zhao Wuji solemnly handed the token to Ye Danxia, then declared, “The Demon-Breaking Alliance has stated that those holding Demon-Breaking Tokens, even if they commit offenses, must be judged by the Alliance itself! Now that Danxia holds a Demon-Breaking Token, any matters concerning her must be judged by the Alliance!”

Zhao Wuji felt somewhat smug.

His little disciple seemed quite fortunate; it was as if the heavens themselves didn’t want her to die.

Otherwise, how could this Demon-Breaking Token have arrived at such a perfect moment?

Though they would now have to wait for the Demon-Breaking Alliance to send someone to judge, this provided room for maneuvering. His father, after all, was a member of the Azure Sky Pavilion. He need only pass along a message, and his father would naturally find ways to delay the matter.

With proper delays, the judgment could be postponed indefinitely.

Ye Danxia’s eyes immediately brightened.

She hadn’t realized the Demon-Breaking Token had such an effect. She clutched it tightly, as if holding onto a lifeline.

Zhou Li couldn’t help but glance at this suddenly appeared Junior Sister.

His first thought: Why did this Little Junior Sister seem so familiar? He inexplicably felt a desire to protect her.

The next moment.

Zhou Li’s expression changed again. Familiar? What familiarity! The token he and his brother had risked their lives for was suddenly given away?

Couldn’t Master have at least consulted them?

That hint of goodwill instantly vanished. Zhou Li’s expression as he looked at Ye Danxia turned somewhat ugly. He was about to speak when Zhou Dai pulled him back again.

Zhou Li turned to look at his brother. Zhou Dai slowly shook his head.

Zhou Li could only forcibly restrain himself.

A thoughtful look flashed in Zhou Dai’s eyes.

They had been away from the sect for a full half year. It seemed many things had happened in that time.

Setting aside the sudden appearance of a Little Junior Sister, why had Second Senior Brother worn such an expression earlier?

And where was Eldest Senior Brother? Why wasn’t he present?

The biggest question was why everyone had gathered at the spirit fields. What was going on?

Until he understood these things, Zhou Dai didn’t intend to speak rashly.

“Does this satisfy the proper procedures?” With Ye Danxia’s life saved, Zhao Wuji felt refreshed. He had even momentarily forgotten about losing control of the spirit fields.
