"Hehe, what a moron!"

"Speechless, do you think by doing this, we'll believe you and then revere you everywhere?"

...

People burst into laughter at Xiaowu's excitement.

Everything is still unclear now; stepping out to say you're the friend of a sect-destroying powerhouse, you're either an idiot or your brain's full of water.

Actually, it's not Xiaowu's fault, because her great enemy was defeated, and she was excited to say such things.

"Alright, everyone, don't scare little junior sister."

Shangguan Jingchen coldly reprimanded.

No matter what Xiaowu thinks, she is still young and should be forgiven if she says something wrong.

Besides, she might not be wrong.

Murong Shan held Xiaowu, gently patting her on the back with her jade hand.

She also remembered the purpose of that guy entering the Kunwu Realm back then.

It was to flatten the Beast Taming Sect.

Perhaps he achieved his goal, but it had little to do with herself.

These people are really overthinking it.

To gain recognition from everyone in the Spirit Sword Sect, Murong Shan doesn't need Xia Liu's help.

She has experienced it once, knowing the bitterness within.

This time, she wants to work hard to change everyone's opinion of her in the Spirit Sword Sect.

The Spirit Sword Sect's grand competition three months later will be the best proof!

"Senior brother, this little girl was just babbling, we didn't mean to laugh at her."

"Yeah, we can only say she's too scheming."

...

"Who's being scheming?"

Suddenly, a supreme powerful Spirit Sound came from the distant sky.

In an instant, a gray figure appeared.

It was Elder Tianjian, returning from the meeting.

The Spirit Sword Sect Leader and several Elders were also present.

"Greetings to the Sect Leader and all the Elders!"

...

When they found out the high ranks of the sect were present, everyone immediately stopped their inappropriate remarks and started to bow.

"Elder Tianjian, it's Xia Liu, it's Brother Xia Liu!"

Seeing Elder Tianjian's appearance, Xiaowu shouted excitedly.

The high ranks who returned with Elder Tianjian were utterly confused by Xiaowu's reaction.

What's this Brother Xia Liu?

"Xiaowu, don't get excited, let's talk about it later when we get back."

Elder Tianjian's face was stern, obviously indicating Xiaowu should stop her antics.

"Elder Tianjian, what's going on here?"

As the Sect Leader of the Spirit Sword Sect, Shangguan Wuwei felt it necessary to understand.

"Sect Leader, it's nothing, just a little girl in high spirits rambling nonsense."

Elder Tianjian quickly explained.

"How come I feel there's more to this?"

Shangguan Wuwei said, scanning the audience: "Jingchen, tell me, is someone bullying the fellow disciples?"

"No, little junior sister said her brother destroyed the Beast Taming Sect, and then everyone got excited."

Shangguan Jingchen replied truthfully.

"Oh? Little sister, is what you said true?"

Shangguan Wuwei's expression became slightly serious.

Recently, many forces in the Southeast Region were troubled because of the powerhouse who destroyed the Beast Taming Sect.

If I could find this powerhouse, maybe it could bring peace to this land.

"Haha, Sect Leader, what are you thinking, this girl has always been in the sect, what does she know?"

Elder Tianjian couldn't help but laugh.

He vaguely knew about Xiaowu's grudge with the Beast Taming Sect, but if this matter was not Xia Liu's doing, then her words might put Xia Liu in danger.

It had been half a year since parting with Xia Liu.

He should be heading to the Beast Taming Sect soon.

In such urgent times, it's crucial not to put him in a crisis.

"Indeed, I've been overly sensitive, after a whole day of flying, everyone go back and rest."

Shangguan Wuwei let out a wry smile, wondering why he was being serious with a little girl who never left the sect.

Utterly absurd.

Amid the maple forest of the Spirit Sword Sect's back mountain, a small house emitted swirling smoke as if someone was cooking inside.

Indeed, Murong Shan was cooking.

Xiaowu and Elder Tianjian were under the maple tree outside.

"Xiaowu, I understand your feelings, your great vengeance is taken, I'm here to congratulate you."

Elder Tianjian showed none of a senior's authority; instead, he was like an elder who cared protectively for the girl in front of him.

"Grandpa Tianjian, you must believe me, this matter was definitely done by Brother Xia Liu."

"Xiaowu, until you see Xia Liu confirmed, you mustn't say such things, it could cause trouble."

"Huh? Why?"

Xiaowu didn't understand; her mind was quick, and she couldn't hold back what she wanted to say.

"Because the mysterious force that destroyed a top sect in the Southeast Region has become the focus of all cultivators; even if it was truly Xia Liu, he cannot be exposed prematurely. Keeping a cautious heart is essential; harming others with intention is not. What if someone devises a plot to eliminate Xia Liu out of fear?"

Elder Tianjian gazed into the distance: "This realm has been silent for too long. Suddenly, a powerhouse appears that can easily wipe out a top force, causing fear. If they worry too long, they might do something rash."

"Oh, I understand now."

Xiaowu nodded gently; although she didn't fully comprehend, she knew that spreading word would be very disadvantageous to Xia Liu.

"Focus on cultivation with Shaner, do not disgrace the Tianjian Lineage in the Spirit Sword grand competition three months from now..."

...

At the intersection of the Southeast Region and Wanshan.

Today marks the tenth day since the Beast Taming Sect was turned to ashes.

Fifty miles away from the Beast Taming Sect, in a place of fortune and blessed geography, a graceful figure walked out.

With a handsome face and elegant demeanor, his white robes gently rippled in the wind.

A folding fan opened and closed in his hand, making a gentle sound echo around.

"This battle appeared unscathed, yet to truly settle the aura and heal the damaged meridians and organs, it took ten days..."

Looking at his snow-white hand, Xia Liu chuckled wryly to himself.

Initially, he thought two or three days would be enough for full recovery.

Reality is always so harsh.

But the ten days were not in vain; the Beast Taming Sect could no longer commit atrocious acts.

As Xia Liu walked about a mile away, he suddenly noticed he was locked onto by three Divine Senses.

...

Xia Liu was rather speechless, realizing this group had been searching nearby for the past ten days.

Unexpectedly, they managed to persist until now, utterly ridiculous.

In the midst of Xia Liu's wry chuckle, three figures suddenly appeared in front of him like streaking stars.

Just as Xia Liu turned his face, another cultivator appeared behind, blocking his path.

Four cultivators at the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation!

"Friend, don't panic, we just want to ask something."

The burly Shi Tian, for some reason, looked awkward as he smiled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm just a passerby resting, I know nothing."

Xia Liu pretended to say.

"Young man, don't be afraid, we won't harm you."

"By the way, you said you were just passing by resting, but why didn't we notice you entering the mountain range, as if you appeared out of thin air..."
