I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 404 Disciples of Tiangu Valley

"Fairy, this is the Jade Dew of Blooming Flowers from our Hundred Flowers Sect. I heard from Yueyue that you need this."

"Such a large bottle, you must have taken out all the stock," Yun Qingyi said calmly, looking at the Prosperous Jade Dew in front of her.

This Jade Dew is the foundation of the Hundred Flowers Sect. If you want to develop your cultivation, you must have the Jade Dew of Prosperous Flowers. She wanted it, but she wasn't so greedy. She took the jade bottle, took out a vessel, cut it in two, and returned the rest to the Sect Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect. "Here, this is enough."

Moved, the Sect Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect felt embarrassed. "Fairy, is this really enough?"

"enough."

The Hundred Flowers Sect Master wanted to say something more, but Qi Yue quietly tugged at her and smiled at Yun Qingyi, saying, "Thank you, senior. We, the Hundred Flowers Sect, will never forget your kindness. We will do our utmost to help you in the future."

Yun Qingyi nodded and, after watching Qi Yue pack up her things, told them to go back and rest.

Once outside, the Hundred Flowers Sect Master was somewhat puzzled: "Yueyue, if someone says they don't want it, are we really going to refuse? Wouldn't that be inappropriate? Besides, Fairy Yun is such a kind person, we can't take advantage and then act innocent."

Because he sensed that Yun Qingyi didn't seem to like him calling her "senior," the Hundred Flowers Sect Master changed his form of address.

Qi Yue laughed and said, "Oh, Master, don't worry, nothing will happen. If I had insisted on giving away the rest of the Jade Dew of Prosperity, it would have displeased the senior."

"Is that so?" The Hundred Flowers Sect Master was skeptical.

"That's right, you can rest assured."

……

On the other side, after putting away the Hundred Flowers Jade Dew, Yun Qingyi glanced at Xie Xiyan, who was quietly watching her from the side.

Noticing Yun Qingyi's gaze, he smiled and said, "Now that this matter is resolved, are you feeling much more at ease?"

Yun Qingyi shook her head: "It's not resolved yet."

Xie Xiyan: "Is it because 'Duan Leizhi' is still around?"

"Yes, Duan Feng has possessed Duan Leizhi. If we don't eliminate him as soon as possible, the situation will be much more dangerous. We don't know his cultivation method yet. If it's like what happened to the Hundred Flowers Sect, the situation will be even more complicated."

The big competition is tomorrow, and if he participates, I'm worried he'll mark every contestant.

After listening to Yun Qingyi's words, Xie Xiyan also frowned. "He is now the young sect master of Zixiao Sect and the son of the sect master. Naturally, he is very powerful and can do many more things. So, Qingyi, your guess is not impossible."

Yun Qingyi sighed softly: "But there's no need to be too tense. He won't cause too much trouble in the first two days of the competition. Besides, his initial target was definitely the Hundred Flowers Sect. Now that the Hundred Flowers Sect has our protection, their safety is guaranteed. There's no need to worry too much."

Xie Xiyan's furrowed brows relaxed. "By the way, Qingyi, we've overlooked something."

"Hmm?" Yun Qingyi looked at Xie Xiyan's upturned lips and asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"Duan Feng is an extremely arrogant and stubborn person. You can tell from the fact that he would rather give up the position of sect leader than leave the sect and do everything he can to study his formations. If he wants to target someone, it must be the person who poses the greatest threat to him first."

"He must have been very confident in his abilities and completely regarded us as insignificant juniors. After all, he was so perceptive at the entrance of the secret realm that he had already spotted us."

A glint flashed in Yun Qingyi's eyes, "Arrogance... is the biggest threat..." She suddenly looked up at Xie Xiyan: "You mean..."

"The Sect Master of Zixiao Sect?"

Xie Xiyan nodded and smiled, "After all, the position of sect leader originally belonged to him. Now, his younger brother has not only taken the position of sect leader, but is also doing very well."

And what about him? He was sealed underground for a thousand years, never seeing the light of day. If Duan Lei hadn't made a foolish mistake by taking the Feather Demon Life Feather from the Forbidden Pavilion and treating it like a treasure to the ancient secret realm, he would never have seen the light of day again until his soul was annihilated.

In contrast, his arrogance and resentment would surely breed immense hatred when he saw the Zixiao Sect Master living a comfortable and fulfilling life.

Duan Feng is now an evil spirit, so his thoughts and values ​​are different from before.

After listening, Yun Qingyi nodded in agreement, "What you said makes sense, but the Zixiao Sect Master shouldn't just sit and wait for death. After all, he has been the sect master for so many years, he should discover something soon."

Xie Xiyan: "Yes, and in order to avoid being exposed, Duan Feng can't actually take action quickly. He has to learn and imitate Duan Leizhi's behavior extensively. Moreover, I suspect that when he possesses a body, he doesn't inherit Duan Leizhi's memories."

Yun Qingyi asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

After all, a typical possession would completely take over everything of the original owner, including their memories.

Xie Xiyan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what he is?"

Yun Qingyi's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "That's right. If it were a normal and powerful soul, it would be understandable for it to inherit memories. But he has been suppressed for thousands of years and has completely become an evil spirit. Moreover, Duan Leizhi is not stupid, nor did he willingly accept this possession. It is normal for his memories to be damaged while resisting."

Moreover, although Duan Lei is not a very capable person, he cultivates righteous methods, and his body naturally and instinctively rejects evil spirits. Even if he remembers a few scattered points because of the same bloodline...

No, Duan Feng now, whether in his soul or anything else, has long been completely corrupted by evil spirits. He might only have a lingering obsession left, and his bloodline power is likely almost entirely depleted.

Xie Xiyan: "That's right. So, the first thing Duan Feng should do without Duan Leizhi's memories is to learn a lot about Duan Leizhi's behavior and habits in order to avoid being discovered by the Zixiao Sect Master and his wife."

Yun Qingyi and Xie Xiyan exchanged glances. "At the same time, the person we most want to get rid of is the leader of the Zixiao Sect. Besides jealousy, we are also wary of him. He is also worried about being exposed."

“That’s right. It seems we don’t need to worry too much now. We just need to pay more attention and then leak some information to the Zixiao Sect Master so that the two of them can fight amongst themselves.”

“Then we’ll wipe them all out in one fell swoop,” Yun Qingyi said. “After all, she doesn’t want to let either the Zixiao Sect Master or his wife go, including everyone in the Zixiao Sect who participated in the demon experiments.”

……

The residence of Duan Leizhi of Zixiao Sect.

Just as Yun Qingyi and Xie Xiyan had thought, Duan Feng was indeed recording Duan Leizhi's habits and personality. He would practice even the smallest movements for a long time in order to achieve a flawless result.

"Tsk! So troublesome!" Duan Feng threw down the manuscript paper in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked at the lewd and flirtatious content on the paper.

Although he has been restricted in many ways these days, he has also uncovered a lot of things, including the fact that Lei Zhi actually had an affair with his junior sister!

If we're talking about normal senior and junior brothers and sisters, then it's actually quite normal. The problem is, when he's with his junior sister, he's not just with her alone?

For Duan Feng, who was previously only obsessed with formations and had no experience in this area, this completely refreshed his worldview.

It was even difficult to do, as just touching him made him feel nauseous.

"What is this nonsense!" He was furious. "A cultivator shouldn't be focusing on cultivation; what kind of behavior is this!"

He berated his nephew.

Thinking about how much effort she had put into nourishing her body these past few days, she was suddenly filled with anger. "How can my body be so weak at such a young age? It's simply against the natural order!"

……

The next day.

The martial arts tournament has officially begun.

Yun Qingyi originally didn't want to come, but after thinking about it, she decided to go anyway. Yun Qingrou hadn't been going out much these past few days because she needed to organize Shen Li's things.

Gu Qiqing thought she should use her last bit of time to break through the bottleneck of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm and see if she could break through to the late stage.

Ji Zhaoze disliked crowds and preferred to cultivate in his room.

As for Ruan Qi, Leng Zhan, and Ji Zhaoling, among these three, Ji Zhaoling recently broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at the Xuanmiao Sect and is still consolidating her foundation, hoping to stabilize her spiritual power during the competition.

Only Ruan Qi and Leng Zhan, whose cultivation levels are below the Nascent Soul stage, are left to participate in the preliminary rounds.

So only Xie Xiyan accompanied her to watch the preliminary rounds.

"Let's go, Qingyi." Xie Xiyan was still dressed in red, dazzling and eye-catching. Coupled with his handsome face that seemed to defy the heavens and earth, Yun Qingyi felt that he was still a little eye-catching. After all, she could clearly feel that wherever they went, people in front of them would consciously make way for them.

Yun Qingyi: "..." Although it was a bit strange, she was used to this kind of scene. After all, her master was much more exaggerated than Xie Xiyan.

The competition had already been halfway through, and Ruan Qi had just found a seat when it was his turn.

Ruan Qi has reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm. He broke through in the secret realm. Although it has not been a year yet, his spiritual power has been basically stabilized.

Yun Qingyi looked at her opponent, a little girl carrying a gourd on her back. She was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Judging from her appearance and age, she was already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment at this age, which was indeed very impressive.

Anyone with a bit of experience could tell that this little girl was at least over fifty years old.

As soon as the competition began, the people sitting in front of Yun Qingyi and Xie Xiyan started discussing it.

"Wow! They're from Tianshan Valley."

"Tianshan Valley? What Tianshan Valley?"

"You don't know about Tianshan Valley? That's strange. Didn't you participate in the Centennial Grand Competition last time?"

"I just joined this year," the person who asked smiled sheepishly.

"That's understandable, but it's also normal. If you didn't participate in the last centennial competition, very few people would know about Tianshan Valley. After all, this sect not only has a small number of members, but they are all freaks."

"Freak?"

"The fairy on the other side is quite lucky. She has encountered a Tian Shan Valley person in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If it were a Great Perfection cultivator, the fairy would definitely lose."

"That's outrageous?" The person who asked the question looked shocked. "That's a whole major level difference!"

The person who answered the question just smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll understand when you see it later."

As Yun Qingyi listened to their conversation, her gaze fell upon the dueling platform. Ruan Qi's luck this time could be described as both good and bad. She knew a little about the people of Tianshan Valley, but not much. She only knew that this sect was strange, and that all the men and women in the sect looked like children, and that they would not change at all until they died.

Furthermore, the cultivation methods are bizarre, and no one has been able to decipher these cultivation secrets to this day.

“It’s actually Tianshan Valley…” Xie Xiyan, sitting next to Yun Qingyi, frowned and murmured.

Upon hearing the voice, Yun Qingyi raised an eyebrow and turned to look at him: "Does Xi Yan also know about Tianshan Valley?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiyan looked at her and smiled slightly: "I know a little. Although Qingyi's current cultivation level is not a threat, it's still best to be careful if she faces people from Shangtian Valley in the competition..."

Don't give them a chance to use the gourd; finish the job quickly.

Yun Qingyi was a little puzzled and was about to ask when she heard a loud bang on the dueling platform. The explosions almost engulfed the entire platform in flames.

If the barrier hadn't been so strong, this power would probably have overturned the arena.

"what happened?"

"Oh my god, what happened?"

"It seems that the Tianshan Valley disciple named Tianwo just used a gourd to absorb the fire of the Xuanmiao Sect disciple Ruan Qi."

"That gourd is so bizarre?!"

"They look like they just participated in the martial arts tournament this year. The people from Tian Valley have a gourd that is their own spiritual weapon. As a spiritual weapon, it is naturally more powerful."

Another disciple said calmly, "It's obvious that this Xuanmiao Sect disciple is a newcomer to the martial arts tournament this year and is suffering from this gourd for the first time. In fact, as long as we finish this quickly, the problem is usually not too serious."

Yun Qingyi stared intently at the dueling platform. This amount of power didn't actually cause much damage to Ruan Qi. Ruan Qi usually seemed rather dull and gentle, but deep down he had a resilient and courageous personality.

As the smoke and flames dissipated, Tianwo looked at Ruan Qi, who was unharmed except for a slightly disheveled hair, and was somewhat astonished. "How is this possible..."

"This...this is the full power of my upgraded gourd..."

"Ha! Unorthodox methods." Ruan Qi raised his hand, his palm blazing with fire. "If you can't catch them, then I'll let you catch as many as you want!"

Seeing this, Tianwo panicked for a moment and didn't have time to be angry at Ruan Qi's words. She immediately used the gourd to catch it, but the flames kept growing stronger, which made Tianwo feel a little scared. If this continued, her precious gourd would not be able to withstand it.

Damn it! What am I going to do? How can this person be so monstrous! Shouldn't he usually lose immediately after using the gourd?

With each passing second, the fear in her eyes deepened. Finally, she dared not gamble on the moment Ruan Qi ran out of spiritual power. "Stop! I surrender!!"

"Clang!" The golden gong rang out, and at the same time, Ruan Qi also dissipated his spiritual power.

The presiding elder announced: "In the first martial arts arena, Ruan Qi of the Xuanmiao Sect wins!"

……

The other disciples were all astonished: "Wow, is this the Xuanmiao Sect?"

"That's amazing!"

"It's absolutely terrifying!"

"How about a complete crushing victory?"

"Wait a minute, aren't you all overlooking the fact that there's a difference in their cultivation levels?"

"You don't understand, do you? You don't know how strange the people of Tianshan Valley are. Two hundred years ago, I personally witnessed a Tianshan Valley disciple at the early stage of Golden Core defeat a Nascent Soul disciple without any chance to fight back."

"I watched that game too, it was unbelievable, it shattered my worldview."

"It was only after that that everyone gradually figured out how to fight against the disciples of Tianshan Valley."

"That doesn't make sense either. What about even earlier times?"

"Even earlier? No, not even earlier. The people of Tianshan Valley have only emerged from the mountains in the last few hundred years. Including this year's grand competition, they have only participated three times in total."

"So little??"

"Hey, you know what? That's when I first learned about the Tianshan Valley sect. But I heard they've been around for a long time, they've just been living in seclusion."

"I see."

"..."

"Uncle-Master! Brother Xie!" As soon as Ruan Qi stepped off the stage, he spotted Yun Qingyi and Xie Xiyan sitting in the corner. "What brings you here?"

Yun Qingyi smiled slightly: "You were very handsome just now."

Xie Xiyan: "It's really cool."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qi's ears turned slightly red. She was still easily embarrassed in front of acquaintances: "Oh dear, Uncle-Master, Brother Xie, please don't tease me."

Then he became serious and said, "However, the person from Tianshan Valley is indeed strange. A large part of her power comes from her gourd, while her cultivation accounts for very little."

Moreover, her gourd can be upgraded. After reaching a certain level, it absorbs the opponent's spiritual power and then returns it to attack according to the level.

I just noticed that her gourd has reached level four, so the spiritual energy I used to attack was reflected back at four times its original value.

Yun Qingyi narrowed her eyes as she watched the Tianshan Valley disciple stomp his foot and walk off the dueling platform in a defiant manner. No wonder Xie Xiyan had just told her to finish the fight as quickly as possible if she encountered anyone from Tianshan Valley.

While you can win against absolute strength, it's still painful to be backfired by your own power. Moreover, once the gourd is fully upgraded, you'll be subjected to a constant barrage of counterattacks. The result is either you have absolute power like Ruan Qi, with a huge level difference, enough to burst the gourd.

Either they are counterattacked and have no chance to fight back.
