The whole family is full of evil disciples, Master, don't panic, your disciples are here

The group didn't know how long they had been walking. When they decided to rest on the spot, they found a group of monks gathered not far away.

These cultivators were dressed in a variety of styles, but one could vaguely tell that several of them were direct disciples and inner sect disciples of Qingyun Sect.

"Senior Ji!"

Ji Xiuzhu was just wondering who was calling her when she saw a petite girl in the crowd, wearing the attire of a direct disciple of Qingyun Sect and with a heroic look on her face, excitedly squeezing out of the crowd and running towards her.

When she was about to bump into Ji Xiuzhu, the girl seemed to have thought of something and performed a Taoist salute towards Ji Xiuzhu.

"A few days ago, my senior brother and I went to visit the Shenyin Sect, but found that the Shenyin Sect was empty. I never thought that Senior Ji had brought his disciples to the secret realm first."

The girl's voice was as clear as a silver bell. Her innocent face was matched with a pair of lively eyes, and even Ji Xiuzhu was stunned.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang..., it's so rude of you to rush forward like this. Is this what Qingyun Sect taught you?" Seeing Ji Xiuzhu staring at Jiang Nan Ke, Qin Lan didn't know where the jealousy came from, so she rushed forward to block Ji Xiuzhu's sight, and then scolded Jiang Nan Ke.

He originally wanted to call Jiang Nan Ke "Senior Sister Jiang", but when he thought of how she used that face to seduce his master, he suddenly didn't want to call her Senior Sister anymore.

Hu Yin and Gu Xingyun didn't think it was inappropriate, so they clasped their fists and saluted Jiang Nanke in return.

Mo Yunyu was the same as Qin Lan, but he did not speak sharply like Qin Lan. Instead, there was a layer of gloom in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Nanke.

However, Ji Xiuzhu did not notice this gloom. He just thought that Mo Yunyu was staring at Jiang Nan Ke as described in the book, because they fell in love at first sight.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Qin is teaching you a lesson. It was Nan Ke who was rude and offended Senior Ji. I hope Senior Ji will forgive me." Jiang Nan Ke didn't care. Her eyes were full of Ji Xiuzhu. Even if Qin Lan blocked his view, it couldn't stop her from wanting to see Ji Xiuzhu.

Then, Jiangnan Ke raised his hand and pushed, and Qin Lan staggered to the side.

"Oh, Senior Ji. This is the gift that my master asked me to bring to you, Senior Ji."

After Jiang Nanke finished speaking, he took out an exquisite box from his storage bag.

Ji Xiuzhu took the box, opened it and saw a fist-sized jade bead inside, emitting a faint spiritual energy.

"This is..." Ji Xiuzhu asked with some confusion.

"My master said that this is the Canghai Mermaid Pearl, which can help Senior Ji to control water. My master knows that Senior Ji is afraid of water, so he went to Manghai to look for it. My master intends to reconcile with the Shenyin Sect, and I hope Senior Ji will not despise it." Jiangnan Ke explained.

Ji Xiuzhu's heart moved. The Canghai Mermaid Pearl was a rare treasure, and the move by Qingyun Sect was a big deal.

Moreover, she was indeed afraid of water, and this thing might be useful in the future, so she accepted it.

"Since it is Master Xuan's kindness, I will not refuse it. Tell him when you go back that I am not a petty person and I have long forgotten those things that happened before. Seeing that he has been trapped in the Nascent Soul stage for a long time, the things in this bottle can be regarded as a return gift." After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, she flipped her hand and a porcelain bottle appeared in her palm. Then she put the porcelain bottle into Jiangnan Ke's hand.

Jiangnan Ke put away the things Ji Xiuzhu gave him, then smiled at Ji Xiuzhu and said, "Then I would like to thank Sect Master Ji on behalf of my master!"

After saying that, he wanted to go forward and hold Ji Xiuzhu's arm.

Qin Lan was quick-witted and pushed Gu Xingyun towards Jiang Nanke, knocking Jiang Nanke to the ground.

"Senior Sister Jiang, are you okay?"

As Gu Xingyun went over to help Jiang Nanke who had fallen to the ground, he looked at Qin Lan with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Qin Lan didn't care. She whistled happily and pretended nothing had happened.

Jiang Nanke was also a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, he realized it was not a big deal, so he waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, I was just too careless."

Having said that, he dodged the hand that Gu Xingyun extended to him and stood up on his own.

"season……"

"Junior sister!"

Jiang Nanke was about to continue speaking when he heard Mu Lan Ze's voice coming from the crowd.

"Big Brother? Aren't you waiting in there for the artifact to come out? Why did you follow me out?" Jiang Nanke asked.

Mu Lan Ze said nothing, but put away his folding fan, then quickly walked up to Ji Xiuzhu and saluted, saying, "Lan Ze greets Sect Master Ji."

Ji Xiuzhu smiled and nodded: "Mu... no need to be polite."

Ji Xiuzhu originally wanted to call him nephew, but then he thought something was not right, so he waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

Seeing this, Jiang Nanke quickly said, "Big Brother, Senior Ji just arrived. We were chatting when you came."

Mu Lan Ze glanced at Jiang Nan Ke, then looked at Ji Xiu Zhu: "Sect Master Ji, this trip to the secret realm is full of dangers. How about our two sects traveling together? That way we can take care of each other. What do you think, Sect Master Ji?"

Ji Xiuzhu didn't say anything, just smiled politely.

But Mo Yunyu, who had been silent on the side, spoke up, looking at Mu Lanze with a look of disdain: "No need, as disciples, we will protect our master. It is not our turn to cooperate with a sect whose predecessor was not up to par. Besides, most of the rebellious disciples of my Shenyin Sect are still in your sect. Are you trying to disgust my master with this?"

Mu Lan Ze was stunned, and then he remembered that he had not thought of this.

He vaguely remembered that before the Qingyun Sect was included in the list of the top three sects, it was indeed not a well-known sect. It seemed that it had accepted a large number of monks from the Shenyin Sect, and then was vindicated by Sect Master Ji, which enabled it to achieve its current success.

However, he had only met Mo Yunyu a few times, and Mo Yunyu's unfriendly attitude towards him was too obvious.

Could it be that Sect Master Ji gave the order?

Thinking of this, Mu Lan Ze glanced at Ji Xiuzhu from time to time, but Ji Xiuzhu had a frank look on his face, and it seemed that this was not what she taught him to do.

"What, was I wrong? The Qingyun Sect was just a small sect back then. If it weren't for our Shenyin Sect, it would have been destroyed long ago!"

Mo Yunyu looked disdainful.

When Ji Xiuzhu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Is this guy crazy? Why is he so angry?

Could it be the weird settings between the villains and the heroes?

"Brother Mo, what are you talking about? I am just making a suggestion and intend to discuss it with Sect Master Ji. I don't mean to ridicule you."

Mu Lanze bowed and looked at Ji Xiuzhu: "Sect Master Ji, what do you think?"

Then, Mu Lanze's eyes met Mo Yunyu's, and the two of them instantly became hostile.

Just when Mo Yunyu and Mu Lanze were fed up with each other and were about to draw their swords to fight each other.

A strong wind blew, bringing with it a great change.

Everyone couldn't help but look up at the sky, only to see that the originally clear sky had become gloomy at some point, like a huge gray curtain, shrouding the entire world in haze.

"Strange, the sky was clear just now, but now it looks like it's going to rain. Senior Ji, why don't we find a place to shelter from the rain first." Jiang Nanke said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Jiang Nanke patted Mu Lanze's arm and said, "Big Brother, don't be angry with Brother Mo anymore. You still have to find a place to shelter from the rain."

Qin Lan also whispered in Mo Yunyu's ear at this moment: "Second Senior Brother, Jiang Nanke is right. We should find a place to stay and avoid the rain. Although I don't like that act either, but since our Master has spoken, let's just endure it for now."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yunyu looked at Ji Xiuzhu, then snorted coldly at Mu Lanze.

Seeing Mo Yunyu like this, Mu Lanze suddenly got furious, and then glared at Mo Yunyu fiercely, then turned to Jiang Nanke and said, "Junior sister is right, the artifact over there may not appear for another two or three days, and it is not a solution for us to guard here all the time, so let's find a place to shelter from the rain first, it looks like the rain is not small this time. What do you think, Master Ji?"

After Mu Lan Ze finished speaking, he bowed to Ji Xiuzhu.

Mo Yunyu disliked Mu Lan Ze in the first place, and now he was talking nonsense in front of his master, so he wanted to attack Mu Lan Ze again, but Hu Yin grabbed his wrist.

Hu Yin didn't say much, but gave Mo Yunyu a disapproving look, and then let go of Mo Yunyu's hand.

Seeing this, Mo Yunyu quietly suppressed his emotions, and then he no longer paid attention to Mu Lan Ze, and focused all his attention on Ji Xiuzhu.

When Ji Xiuzhu heard the conversation between Mu Lan Ze and Jiang Nan Ke, he only thought of the "birth of the divine weapon". Just as he was thinking about it absent-mindedly, he saw Qin Lan shaking her arm.

"Master, what are you thinking about? It's going to rain soon. Where can we take shelter?"

Ji Xiuzhu came back to his senses, looked at everyone and said, "There is always a lack of caves in the secret realm. When we came from there before, there was a cave not far ahead. We can go there to take shelter from the rain."

After saying that, she walked towards the cave first.

Everyone followed. Among them, the remaining disciples of Qingyun Sect who were watching the fun were called by Mu Lan Ze. They followed Ji Xiuzhu and soon arrived in front of the cave.

There was nothing special about the cave, and it wasn't very big, but it was big enough to accommodate them.

Hu Yin and Qin Lan walked into the cave first. They looked around and found that the cave was relatively dry and tidy.

He then took out a cushion from the storage bag, cleaned a rock, and then invited Ji Xiuzhu in.

After Ji Xiuzhu entered, he was about to find a relatively flat place in the cave to sit down, when he saw Qin Lan pulling her arm and walking straight to the rock that he and Hu Yin had just cleared.

"Master, this is what my senior brother and I have cleaned up. Master, please take a rest here."

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but give Qin Lan a thumbs up: "Not bad, you two are worthy of being so considerate. When we get home, I will secretly teach you a unique skill, but don't tell your fellow brothers."

Ji Xiuzhu whispered the last sentence into Qin Lan's ear.

After saying that, he sat down on the cushion without caring about Qin Lan's reaction.

After hearing Ji Xiuzhu's last sentence, Qin Lan immediately imagined it.

Master said that he would teach him special skills after he returned, but he also forbade him to tell his eldest and second senior brothers. Does that mean that in Master's eyes, he is already more important than his eldest and second senior brothers?

Thinking of this, Qin Lan instantly became shy like a little girl.

When everyone saw Ji Xiuzhu sitting down, they followed suit carefully.

At this time, the rain outside was also arranged in advance. After seeing Ji Xiuzhu and his group enter the cave, it slowly began to rain, and it was getting heavier and heavier. At this moment, a flash of lightning split the sky, followed by a thunder. The rain poured down.

From drizzle, it turned into a downpour in an instant.

So everyone looked for a place to shelter from the rain.

The raindrops hit the leaves outside the cave, making crackling sounds. Jiang Nanke looked at the rain outside and couldn't help but sigh: "This rain is really heavy, and I don't know when it will stop. Moreover, I always feel that there is a dangerous atmosphere around here."

"Junior sister, you have the strongest six senses in our sect. Can you sense the source of that dangerous aura?" Mu Lan Ze asked, shaking his folding fan.

Jiangnan Ke heard this and shook his head.

She could only sense the danger, but due to her low cultivation level, she could not accurately sense the source of the danger. Unless the danger was only ten meters away from them, she could not sense the source at the moment.

However, she could sense that this aura did not come from humans or monsters, but from demons.

Should I... tell Senior Ji?

But after looking at Ji Xiuzhu, she decided to stay put. After all, she only had a vague feeling and was not so sure. If something went wrong, she would be embarrassed in front of Senior Ji in the future.

So she decided to keep the matter to herself for the time being.

At this time, Ji Xiuzhu was silent. Her thoughts had already flown to the artifact that was about to be born. What kind of artifact would it be? She was full of anticipation.

But at the same time, she was worried. If it was an opportunity for her disciple, should she just knock down all the cultivators and rob them openly, or should she take the opportunity before everyone else?

Ji Xiuzhu was thinking when she suddenly felt someone was watching her. She raised her head and found Hu Yin looking at her with a complicated look in his eyes.

Hu Yin seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. He turned his head, looked at the rain curtain at the entrance of the cave, and sighed in his heart:

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and I don't know if the moon will be full tonight. If it is, Master's cold poison will surely break out. Now that there are so many people here, if it is exposed, there will definitely be endless troubles.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the people from Qingyun Sect, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Strange, Brother, why do I feel so cold today?"

"Hey, maybe it's because of the rain, it's cold."

……

Except for Mu Lan Ze and Jiang Nan Ke, all the disciples of Qingyun Sect felt a chill on their backs.

It was as if a huge knife was placed on their necks, and they couldn't help but shiver.

At the same time, Mo Yunyu, who knew that Ji Xiuzhu was suffering from the cold poison, was also frowning secretly.

The rain continued to fall, with no sign of stopping. Everyone waited quietly in the cave, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

Jiang Nanke tried to break the deadlock. She said softly, "I don't know how long this rain will last. I hope it won't affect our exploration of the secret realm."

Mu Lanze nodded slightly to show his agreement. He had the same worries in his heart, but he knew that now he could only wait.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the rain gradually subsided.

The rain stopped suddenly until the full moon came out in the evening.

Ji Xiuzhu was about to get up and go outside to check the situation, but he found that as soon as he stood up, he was shivering with cold.

At this moment, she thought to herself that something was wrong and hurried out of the cave.

When Jiangnan Ke saw Ji Xiuzhu go out, he wanted to get up and follow him, but was held down by Mo Yunyu.

"Master likes quietness at night, so you'd better not disturb him."

After saying this, he exchanged glances with Hu Yin, who then chased after him and instantly disappeared into the darkness.

After stumbling away from the crowd, Ji Xiuzhu suddenly felt exhausted and fainted beside a stream. His arm fell into the stream and his sleeves were soaked.

"What an unfortunate night."

After Ji Xiuzhu used up his last bit of strength to complain, he became silent again.

I just felt cold and painful all over, like I was dying.
