Chapter 91: The Girl in Red (Part 2)

Zuoqiu Lianzhu also looked at Chu Jianqiu with surprise. She knew Chu Jianqiu much better than the average person and understood that his strength could not be judged by his surface-level cultivation realm alone.

After all, a martial artist with a Heavenly-grade bloodline and the Supreme Martial Body could not be measured by ordinary standards. However, she never expected Chu Jianqiu's strength to be so powerful that he could easily block the punch of the girl in red.

The girl in red sized up Chu Jianqiu from head to toe, thinking that this little lover of Zuoqiu Lianzhu was no ordinary person.

Chu Jianqiu's display of strength immediately ignited the girl in red's competitive spirit. She couldn't believe that she, a direct disciple of the Seventh Peak, would be inferior to this lover of Zuoqiu Lianzhu, who was several realms below her.

The girl in red extended her small, tender fist again, increasing her strength to eighty percent.

Chu Jianqiu felt a powerful force surge from the small fist in his palm.

Chu Jianqiu couldn't help but curse inwardly, "This little brat is crazy, she's still coming!"

When he blocked the girl in red's punch earlier, it seemed easy on the surface, but he had already used his full strength, even employing the seventh strike of the Seven Waves Palm.

Zuoqiu Lianzhu slapped the girl in red's fist away, rescuing Chu Jianqiu from the terrifying force. If the girl in red continued to act recklessly, Chu Jianqiu would likely be injured by her.

"Tang Ningxin, are you asking for a beating!" Zuoqiu Lianzhu said coldly to the girl in red.

"What are you showing off for? Do you think I'm really afraid of you?" The girl in red didn't back down, placing her hands on her hips and glaring at Zuoqiu Lianzhu. "You keep freeloading at our Seventh Peak, have you paid your meal fees yet?"

Hearing this, Zuoqiu Lianzhu was instantly flustered. The girl in red had hit her weak spot.

The Fourth Peak was far less lively than the Seventh Peak, so Zuoqiu Lianzhu often visited the Seventh Peak, especially during meal times. The person in charge of the Seventh Peak's meals was precisely the youngest disciple of Seventh Master.

Seeing that she had hit Zuoqiu Lianzhu's Achilles' heel, the girl in red couldn't help but hum in triumph.

"Little Brother, how many of these spirit talismans do you have?" Zuoqiu Lianzhu, no longer wanting to argue with the girl in red, waved the Flash Escape Talisman in her hand and asked.

"What does Sister want to do?" Chu Jianqiu glanced at Zuoqiu Lianzhu.

"What else, of course, we need to go and pick the Tianji Xu Long Grass!" Zuoqiu Lianzhu raised her eyebrows slightly. With this Flash Escape Talisman, her chances of picking the Tianji Xu Long Grass would greatly increase.

"This method won't work, it's too dangerous!" Chu Jianqiu shook his head. He naturally guessed Zuoqiu Lianzhu's plan: to use the Flash Escape Talisman to teleport next to the Tianji Xu Long Grass, pick it, and then escape using another talisman.

"Why won't it work!" Zuoqiu Lianzhu couldn't help but feel displeased. The Tianji Xu Long Grass was crucial to her master's life, and she was willing to take any risk.

"We've already used the Flash Escape Talisman in front of that beast. It will certainly be on guard and won't give us a chance to pick the Tianji Xu Long Grass. If you don't believe me, Sister, please watch." As he spoke, Chu Jianqiu suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to the Tianji Xu Long Grass.

As soon as he appeared, the beast's massive claw shot out like lightning. Chu Jianqiu used another Flash Escape Talisman to evade the claw and returned to Zuoqiu Lianzhu's side.

Seeing this, Zuoqiu Lianzhu fell silent. The perception of a Sea Transformation Realm beast was already incredibly powerful, and this beast was clearly not an ordinary Sea Transformation Realm beast, with an extremely high bloodline. It would be nearly impossible to avoid its perception and seize the Tianji Xu Long Grass in a split second.

"Moreover, even if we successfully pick the Tianji Xu Long Grass, once the beast is no longer restrained by it, it will surely attack us without restraint. At that time, how many of us can survive the beast's onslaught?" Chu Jianqiu said calmly to Zuoqiu Lianzhu.

Hearing this, Zuoqiu Lianzhu broke out in a cold sweat.

Previously, she had been so focused on picking the Tianji Xu Long Grass that she hadn't considered these issues. Now, upon careful reflection, she realized that they had overlooked a fatal problem.

Even if they successfully picked the Tianji Xu Long Grass, who could escape the beast's pursuit and deliver it back to the sect?

If everyone died under the beast's claws, what good would picking the Tianji Xu Long Grass do?

Thinking of this, Zuoqiu Lianzhu felt a wave of despair. Her face turned pale, and her body swayed, nearly losing her balance. Was she going to watch her master's poisoning worsen and ultimately pass away, unable to do anything?

Zuoqiu Lianzhu raised her pale face and looked at the calm Chu Jianqiu. A thought suddenly struck her. Since Chu Jianqiu had already considered these problems but still entered the secret realm and came to Xu Long Mountain, did he have a solution?

A glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. She looked at Chu Jianqiu and asked, "Does Little Brother have a plan?"

"Of course, there is a plan, but it requires Sister Zuoqiu and the other seniors to cooperate!" Chu Jianqiu smiled slightly. If he hadn't thought of a solution, why would he have come here? Was he here to die?

Hearing this, Zuoqiu Lianzhu was overjoyed. "What do you need us to do? Just say it. If they dare to disobey, Sister has ways to make them listen!" She swept her cold gaze around the area.

The strong inner disciples, who were usually high up on the inner disciple rankings, all felt a chill rise from their hearts when they met her cold gaze.

This female demon was already infamous among the direct disciples, with no one daring to provoke her, let alone these inner disciples.

The strong inner disciples couldn't help but groan inwardly. It seemed they couldn't escape being conscripted this time.

Especially Bu Feiyue and Yan Junbi, their hearts were ice-cold. They never expected Zuoqiu Lianzhu to be here. If they had known, they would never have come.

At this moment, they wished they were dead. They had no intention of plotting against Chu Jianqiu with the other inner disciples. They were sure that Zuoqiu Lianzhu and Chu Jianqiu wouldn't let them off, and would use this opportunity to send them to their deaths as cannon fodder.

Zhao Gaochi and Ji Zhixin trembled, wishing they could turn and run, but they didn't have the courage under Zuoqiu Lianzhu's intimidating presence.
