I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

20: Enter the secluded mountains, slay the Azure Wolf Ancestor, and resolve the crisis in Yunzhou.Wang Yuan’s Golden Core Stage spiritual power instantly erupted, the oppressive force aimed directly at one person: Xiao Zheng.

Bang!

How could Xiao Zheng be a match for a proper Golden Core Demon Suppression General? His body retreated repeatedly, his Face instantly turned pale, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his internal organs churned violently.

This scene left all the Elders in the Xiao Family main hall shocked.

”Why did the Demon Suppressing Army appear?”

”And they even attacked Xiao Zheng? What did his words just mean?”

”Lord Shen’s Junior Sister?”

”Could they be talking about Young Miss Qinger?”

Even Clan Head Xiao Zhan, who was in the main seat, was a little confused. Butler Fu, who was beside him, leaned over and quietly explained the situation.

The more he listened, the more shocked Clan Head Xiao Zhan’s expression became, until he gaped, looking at his daughter in disbelief.

In the Main Hall.

Wang Yuan ignored the crowd and walked directly up to Xiao Qinger, showing respect as he said, ”Young Miss Xiao, your Senior Brother, Lord Shen, asked me to tell you not to wait for him. Just focus on Cultivating and completing your mission...”

After the Huang Family incident concluded, the Patrol Envoy said he needed to discuss something with Lord Shen. Wang Yuan was ordered by Shen Nian to deliver a message to the Xiao Family and also inform them that they no longer needed to relocate.

”I understand. Thank you, General Wang.” Xiao Qinger nodded and replied with a cupped-hand salute.

”No need to thank me. It should be our Demon Suppression Division thanking you,” Wang Yuan said with a smile. ”If you hadn’t entered the Heavenly Sword Sect and become Lord Shen’s Disciple, he probably wouldn’t have come to Yunzhou at all.”

After speaking, he looked toward Clan Head Xiao Zhan, who was in the main seat, with a hint of envy.

”Clan Chief Xiao truly has great fortune.”

There are only a handful of Prodigies in the entire Great Xia whom Wang Yuan admires from the bottom of his heart. These people are all destined to make their mark in Eastern Profound, and Shen Nian is the most prodigious he has ever met.

To become a Hunyuan Grandmaster at such a young age—the Great Xia wouldn’t find a second person like him even if they looked back a thousand years!

Following such a Senior Brother, it would be difficult for Xiao Qinger not to rise, especially since he had also heard about this girl’s talent.

Clan Head Xiao Zhan, in the main seat, merely smiled and nodded, but when he looked at Xiao Qinger, there was a trace of heartache.

”For Qinger to enter the Immortal Sect and become a Disciple under such a terrifying Senior Brother, she must have suffered greatly...”

The rest of the Xiao Family members nearby were utterly confused, yet dared not interrupt. However, there was one thing they could confirm.

That was that Xiao Qinger truly had entered an Immortal Sect!

And she had taken on an extraordinary Senior Brother!

At this moment, some of the Xiao Family Elders revealed expressions of regret.

Only the Second Elder, after a moment of stupefaction, became incredibly excited, his joy indescribable.

”Good, good, good!”

”Qinger, you truly haven’t disappointed your Second Grandfather!”

Xiao Qinger gave the Second Elder a shy smile, but inwardly, she didn’t feel superior, as these achievements were not brought about by her own strength.

It was all because of her Senior Brother!

At this moment, Xiao Zheng’s voice also sounded.

”General Wang, when did my Xiao Family offend the Demon Suppressing Army, that you dare so domineeringly break into my Xiao Family Main Hall and attack this old man? Don’t forget that Yunzhou is not solely dominated by the Demon Suppression Division...” Xiao Zheng swallowed a mouthful of blood, glanced at the surrounding Demon Suppressing Army soldiers, and asked in a deep voice. His expression was extremely ugly, and his tone carried a hint of threat.

He didn’t understand why the Demon Suppressing Army suddenly came to the Xiao Family, though he could roughly piece together the meaning from the other party’s words.

Xiao Qinger must have entered an Immortal Sect and become one of its Disciples.

But with the backing of the Huang Family, he wasn’t afraid at all. He had already made an agreement with Huang Four: he only wanted the position of Xiao Family Head, and he would cooperate fully with whoever Huang Four wanted to kill or capture.

The Huang Family has the Xuan Guang Cave supporting them. Even if Xiao Qinger was lucky enough to join the other Two Sects, so what?

Not only is the Xuan Guang Cave the foremost of the Three Sects, but the Huang Family’s Old Ancestor is also an existence that Three Sects Disciples cannot compare to!

Upon hearing Xiao Zheng’s words, Wang Yuan revealed a playful smile.

The next second!

Boom!

His movement was extremely fast, and no one saw it clearly.

”You... Pfft!” Xiao Zheng’s pupils contracted. He only felt a massive force strike his chest, causing him to spit out a large mouthful of blood. His body was sent flying into a corner, where he landed right beside his daughter.

”I... I’m crippled?” Lying on the floor, Xiao Zheng stared at the roof beam and muttered, unable to believe that all the acupoints in his body were destroyed.

Wang Yuan cupped his hands toward Clan Chief Xiao Zhan in the main seat and smiled, ”Clan Chief Xiao, please don’t blame Wang Yuan for interfering. Now that the Huang Family has been destroyed by Lord Shen, and the Xuan Guang Cave Elder and traitor Chen Gang have all been executed, the Clan Chief must quickly resolve the internal Family strife and prepare for the events to come...”

Clan Head Xiao Zhan, who was in the main seat, nodded and said, ”Xiao Zhan understands.”

He knew that the terrifying difficulties they would Face next would likely be even more horrifying.

The retaliation from the Xuan Guang Cave and the Huang Family Old Ancestor was something Yunzhou could no longer withstand.

”Clan Chief Xiao doesn’t need to worry too much. Lord Shen is such a Prodigy, a Hunyuan Grandmaster under twenty years old. If the Xuan Guang Cave hasn’t gone insane, they wouldn’t dare attack him. Otherwise, they would Face more than just the Heavenly Sword Sect’s wrath...”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Xiao Family fell silent.

The Second Elder showed an expression of disbelief, his eyes wide open.

Hunyuan Grandmaster?

Under twenty?

Is that real?

Where did Qinger find such a prodigious Senior Brother???

The father and daughter lying on the ground seemed to have heard some terrifying news. Xiao Zheng’s lips trembled, and he completely sank into numbness.

Xiao Hui, who was like a dead dog, twitched her fingers, and endless jealousy and malice surged in her heart.

”How is that possible...!”

”How could Xiao Qinger enter an Immortal Sect? What did such a terrifying Prodigy Senior Brother see in her? She’s just trash!!”

”I, Xiao Hui, refuse to accept this!!”

Thump, thump, thump~

One after another, Xiao Family Elders began kneeling.

”Clan Chief, this old man was previously misled by Xiao Zheng and his daughter and committed mistakes. I beg the Clan Chief for mercy!”

”Clan Chief...”

Seeing this scene, Wang Yuan knew that the Xiao Family matter was mostly settled, and Xiao Zhan would handle the rest himself.

After he left, Xiao Zhan merely glanced at the crowd and said coldly, ”Guards!”

...It was now afternoon.

Deep within the Yunzhou Commander-in-Chief’s Manor, still inside that villa.

In the pavilion.

Xia Youyue calmly held the teapot and poured tea, then pushed the full teacup toward the white-robed man opposite her. Her movements were noticeably awkward.

Shen Nian lowered his gaze and drank his tea, remaining silent, waiting for the other party to speak.

”I invited Young Master Shen here because our Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division has a request. The reward after the matter is concluded will surely satisfy Brother Shen...” Xia Youyue said softly.

”What is it?”

Shen Nian put down his teacup and said casually.

If it were anyone else, Shen Nian wouldn’t bother moving the conversation elsewhere, but this was the fated female protagonist after all. He still needed to take her in as a Disciple, so giving her Face was normal.

Of course, Shen Nian’s personality was inherently cold and arrogant, so it was impossible for him to actively suggest that she enter the Ninth Mountain.

If they truly lacked destiny, then so be it.

”Enter You Mountain, slay Old Ancestor Cang Lang, and resolve the Yunzhou crisis.”
