Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 821 World 369

Peak Master Fu was unhappy that Lan Yue was still present at this time, but based on his trust in Sect Master Qian and Chen Ling, he didn't say anything more negative.

After his attempts to signal the right thing failed, he decided to focus on his own business first.

“I, Fu Feng, had a disciple who perished more than a hundred years ago. Today, my nephew Xing Luo brought back her belongings, and we learned that she had also discovered the demon race’s plot back then.”

The demon race that Master Fu mentioned has nothing to do with the rat people. Given the rat people's cultivation and abilities, they are not worthy of mention.

In fact, if she hadn't been injured beforehand and hadn't misjudged the rat-men's abilities, that senior sister would probably have been able to return safely.

The scheme that the senior sister discovered was actually somewhat related to Shen Ruyin, because one part of the scheme involved arranging for undercover agents to infiltrate various sects and sow discord among them.

If it weren't for the accidental discovery of this information back then, the sect might not have found out until Shen Ruyin brought it back this time.

After listening, Sect Master Qian asked, "When the disciple's memorial tablet shattered, there should have been a specific direction. Why has no one collected the relics after more than a hundred years?"

Peak Master Fu was somewhat embarrassed: "The person in charge of this matter at the time was a traitor who was investigated some time ago."

He was referring to the senior student who had defected earlier.

Shen Ruyin frowned slightly; it seemed her previous assumptions were wrong.

Even if my senior sister hadn't perished because of the rat-man incident, something else would probably have happened on her way back to the sect.

After all, her safe return meant that all the demon spies who had infiltrated the Supreme Sect were in danger.

Whether it's for orders from superiors or for their own safety, these undercover agents won't let her go.

The undercover agents have now been identified, but other schemes are still underway.

After the Peak Master of Qi lost his mind during Shen Ruyin's Foundation Establishment, the sect investigated and found that the ore that affected the Peak Master of Qi also had the shadow of the demon race behind it.

Knowing so many important matters, Sect Leader Qian naturally couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to return to the main peak as soon as possible.

He needed to discuss matters, so Peak Master Fu and Chen Ling naturally couldn't be left out.

Shen Ruyin was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, and her elders tacitly allowed her to participate. However, just before she was about to leave, Lan Yue grabbed her by the back of her neck by the collar.

Shen Ruyin stayed behind and asked, "Is there something you want to tell me, Ancestor?"

Lan Yue said, "Tell me everything that happened in detail, don't leave anything out."

Although she had already mentioned it before, Shen Ruyin didn't mind repeating it again, but she had to make the key point clear beforehand: "Although I have seen that jade slip, I don't know Fu Feng's methods, so I only saw the surface and didn't see the deeper information inside. If the Ancestor asks me about this, I won't know."

Lan Yue still wanted to listen, so Shen Ruyin told her from the beginning, focusing on the rat-man, and even remembering the words the rat-man said about the Demon Lord before he was destroyed.

Seeing that Lan Yue seemed thoughtful after listening, Shen Ruyin had a sudden thought: "Could it be that Ancestor knows that Demon Lord?"

Fuhe followed them back to the main peak, while Yuxing had already gone off to play by herself. Only Shen Ruyin and Lanyue remained.

Lan Yue glanced at her, her expression somewhat complicated, and asked, "Why do you think I didn't reveal my identity within the sect?"

She didn't answer Shen Ruyin's question directly, but how different was that from answering it directly?

Shen Ruyin pretended not to understand her implied meaning: "I thought the ancestor was annoyed, so he only told Master and the main peak lineage."

“What two peaks?” Lan Yue said helplessly, beckoning her closer before touching her forehead. “Back then, the main peak and the Po Nian peak were one family.”

Shen Ruyin was somewhat surprised; she really didn't know about this.

Lan Yue sat back down and dusted off her slightly disheveled sleeves: "The main peak no longer practices the Path of Ruthlessness, but there are still commonalities in the cultivation of the two peaks."

"Do you think I learned all the skills of the main peaks of the Supreme Sect?"

Shen Ruyin's eyes darted around: "I thought that back in the time of the Ancestor, all the peaks of the Supreme Sect were one family."

Lan Yue chuckled lightly: "That's not wrong. The Supreme Sect originally didn't have so many distinctions. It's just that due to differences in cultivation talent, people gradually developed personal biases."

"If we're talking about it, compared to those of you who are directly recruited into the various peaks, those who receive instruction on the main peak and are then assigned to other sects are more like the traditional method of training disciples in the Supreme Sect."

After saying that, Lan Yue sighed again: "Come with me somewhere."

Shen Ruyin nodded naturally: "If the Ancestor commands me, I will accompany you to the ends of the earth."

Lan Yue gave her a reproachful look: "I don't remember ever teaching you to be so cunning, asking you to come with me to explore the world. What, am I too weak to lift a knife or wield a sword?"

“Of course not,” Shen Ruyin said, “but this is a disciple’s filial piety.”

"If I can't even beat him, how could he be worthy of your help?"

Lan Yue shook her head helplessly, but the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up slightly: "You always have something to say."

Not wanting Chen Ling to know, Lan Yue didn't linger. She put one hand on Shen Ruyin's shoulder, and the formation was already in use.

When Shen Ruyin opened her eyes again, she looked at the familiar cave around her and knew where she was.

This place, now completely empty, is precisely where she discovered Lan Yue.

Wait, it's completely empty?

Shen Ruyin subconsciously looked at the place where the table and wedding dress had been set up.

There wasn't even a speck of dust left; it disappeared so completely?

There was no surprise on Lan Yue's face; in fact, there was a sense of something that had been expected and had finally come to a head.

Shen Ruyin tentatively asked, "Did the Ancestor sense that someone had touched something here and wanted to confirm it?"

"More or less," Lan Yue said, then turned to look outside again, "This secret realm is going to be gone."

Shen Ruyin didn't expect her to change the subject so quickly, but she still continued, "So quickly? Didn't you say there was still some time?"

“Yes,” Lan Yue said, “but someone destroyed the core of the secret realm.”

Lan Yue led Shen Ruyin outwards. If they didn't seize the opportunity to loot the last treasures of the secret realm, would they wait until the secret realm was unprepared and left to be snatched away by outsiders?

Shen Ruyin didn't know what she was trying to do at first, but after watching for a while, she understood and offered to help.

Perhaps the decline of the core of the secret realm also affected the spirit beasts within it. Originally, the spirit beasts, who each followed their own rules, were constantly fighting each other, all vying for more rare and precious materials to become stronger.

Along the way, Shen Ruyin filled a small jade tablet with freshly crushed and delicious spirit beasts, and had to take out new ones to continue filling it.

While preparing her outfit, she didn't forget to take away the rare and precious materials that were being fought over.

She is now at the Nascent Soul stage, and has overwhelming power over these spirit beasts. They can only watch as Shen Ruyin reaps the benefits when both sides are injured. In the end, even their own flesh and blood are collected by Shen Ruyin into a special Sumeru Mustard Seed for storage.

When Lan Yue got everything she wanted and returned to Shen Ruyin's side, Shen Ruyin immediately presented her with several jade pendants.

"Ancestor, these are the things I've collected, I'm giving them all to you."

Lan Yue's heart softened. She glanced at it briefly, but couldn't bring herself to praise it.

It's like plucking feathers from a passing goose or locusts swarming across the land—it's all the same.
