“Hello Tian Ning, let me introduce myself. I am the youngest disciple under Thousand Tribulations Real Person, your junior martial sister from Sword Protecting Mountain—Zhou Mengya!”
She smiled and approached, declaring her ownership.
Jiang Xi, from a distance, frowned: “You have been expelled from the Sect. Don't be so shameless! We already have a junior martial sister!”
Zhou Mengya completely ignored Jiang Xi; she kept her eyes on Tian Ning.
“As for you, I suppose I should call you Sixth Miss, brought back from the Mortal Realm by the Wenren Family?”
As if intentionally revealing Tian Ning's scars, Zhou Mengya continued: “Your parents disliked you, and you couldn't stay at the Wenren Family, so you chose to enter Wanjian Sect. But Master didn't accept you as a disciple; you didn't even offer the tea of apprenticeship. Under these circumstances, what kind of junior martial sister are you?”
Vines bound Tian Ning's legs, allowing her only to barely retreat.
Zhou Mengya: “You don't need to be afraid; I just want to have a good talk with you about Sword Protecting Mountain…”
It would be best if she left Sword Protecting Mountain on her own accord and never had anything to do with Master again!
“It's not fear,” unable to retreat further, Tian Ning covered her nose and said, “We can talk, but could you please stand there and not move?”
Zhou Mengya: “?”
Only then did Zhou Mengya notice that the male consorts who usually clung to her were now subtly keeping their distance, with expressions of restraint.
And the Six Sects' disciples bound by vines on the ground were probably unable to bear her smell; they were wriggling like worms, fleeing in the opposite direction…
I wonder what Long Ye ate?
The smell wasn't noticeable when it was first expelled, but as time passed, it became extremely foul.
Tian Ning could no longer bear it and exclaimed: “Long Ye, you ate *something*!”
“Shut up!”
Long Ye's face turned black with anger.
If it weren't for what Tian Ning had done to him, causing him severe mental trauma and some minor physical problems, why would he have drunk so much of that awful medicine?!
The audience outside the arena: “…”
Just how stinky was it inside to turn the serious atmosphere like this?
Zhou Mengya didn't want to dwell on this issue.
Moreover, she had already prepared her lines for her first meeting with Tian Ning. For this little girl who had taken her place, she absolutely had to show her the gap between them!
She frowned, her face unpleasant: “I’m giving you a chance. Since you insist on clinging to Master, don't blame me for being ruthless!”
Tian Ning: “…”
Do Demonic Cultivators always talk to themselves like this?
Can’t you take a bath before showing off like this?!
Seeing Zhou Mengya about to attack, Tian Ning panicked, dragging the vines on her feet as she ran.
The entrance was blocked by newly grown vines, so Tian Ning simply ran towards Wenren Xue!
Zhou Mengya was initially dismissive. The vines here belonged to the owner, and they were incredibly powerful. If Tian Ning used Spiritual Energy at this moment, she would be courting death. Even a little bit would cause the surrounding vines to drain her Spiritual Energy as if they were cats that smelled fish!
As for not using Spiritual Energy, even Ge Gang, Chief Senior Disciple of the Body Cultivation Sect…
As soon as this thought appeared, Zhou Mengya saw Tian Ning's slender legs pull at the vines, and the vines were simply torn off by her.
“…”
No, just how strong are her legs?
Earlier, Ge Gang couldn't break free from the vines no matter how much strength he used!
Wenren Xue: “!!!”
Help, don't come near me!
Thus, an absurd scene unfolded. With Wenren Xue at the center, Tian Ning did a version of “circling the pillar like King Qin”.
Everyone around stayed far away from the three of them; it was too stinky!
Zhou Mengya didn't know if she was letting water, or deliberately tormenting Wenren Xue, but she couldn’t catch Tian Ning no matter what.
With Wenren Xue in between, Tian Ning felt a little better, but every time Zhou Mengya passed Wenren Xue, the disgusting smell almost made Wenren Xue faint.
Long Ye was very close when he vomited, so Zhou Mengya's long hair and skin inevitably got some on them, and the smell was strong.
Finally, Wenren Xue couldn't take it anymore; she spent a large number of points to buy a temporary sense of smell blocker from the System, which made her feel a bit better.
Before she could sigh at the beauty of the world, Tian Ning pushed her, causing her to have close contact with Zhou Mengya!
“Ahhhhhhh—”
Feeling the viscous liquid on the woman's hair, Wenren Xue couldn't take it anymore. She could perfectly imagine how stinky it was!
So what was the use of all the points she had just spent?!
On the verge of collapse, Wenren Xue angrily scolded Zhou Mengya: “How useless are you? You can’t even catch Tian Ning!”
Weren't you so tough when you were bullying her just now?
Zhou Mengya: “What right do you have to lecture me?! You idiot, when have you ever successfully dealt with Tian Ning?”
The scene instantly turned into a verbal battle between the two.
Tian Ning silently withdrew from the battlefield, letting the two of them quarrel fiercely.
Actually, Wenren Xue was right; Zhou Mengya was indeed useless now, and so was everyone else here.
Tian Ning had noticed earlier that a simple Purity Spell could have solved the problem, yet Zhou Mengya and the men hadn't used it or taken anything from their Dimensional Pouches.
It seems that in this Secret Realm, Demonic Cultivators are no different from them.
However, the Six Sects' Direct Disciples were all bound by vines, while Zhou Mengya's group could move freely. So, did Zhou Mengya's group have something on them, or…?
As she was thinking, two vines wrapped around the legs of the quarreling pair, hanging them upside down in mid-air.
“It’s too noisy!”
Another woman in a green dress came in, dragging several people with vines behind her. Some were Six Sects' Direct Disciples, and there were even two Elders!
The woman looked at Zhou Mengya, Wenren Xue, and Long Han, as if looking at filth: “You are too stinky! Go wash yourselves in the river outside, and you are not allowed to stay here until you are clean!”
“Liu Yao… don’t forget we’re in the same boat!” Zhou Mengya’s face fell, she deliberately said, “Only the Demon Venerable can help you with what you want!”
“I haven't forgotten, but you must clean yourselves before you come in.”
“I don’t like dirty things!”
The woman named Liu Yao didn’t buy it. She manipulated the vines to open a door, dragged the three out with the vines, towards the river.
With Zhou Mengya gone, her men lost their leader and immediately chased after her.
Liu Yao didn’t stop them. She casually threw the Direct Disciples and Elders aside and prepared to leave.
“Liu Yao!”
Elder Liu from Fu Immortal Sect spoke: “For your own selfish reasons, are you really going to ruin your millennia of cultivation?!”
Liu Yao didn’t answer him: “Compared to me, you should worry about how long you have left to live.”
