"How could such a massive seal just vanish?!"
One of the figures thought of something and spoke with difficulty, "The seal is gone... then what about the thing sealed beneath it?"
Hearing this, the others were stunned. After a long pause, someone said, "Let's go down and take a look. If that thing below is truly released, you all know what kind of disaster it will bring upon the sect!"
At this, several people nodded, exchanged glances, and then leaped down with solemn expressions.
"How is this possible?!"
"There isn't even the slightest trace of a fierce beast's aura here?!"
"Who did this? Could it be demons?!"
"Demons have infiltrated the Youfeng Sect! No! This matter must be reported to the Sect Master immediately!"
The few agreed, their figures flashed, and they disappeared into the cave, rushing towards the Sect Master's peak.
In the shadows, Ming Li raised an eyebrow. A sinister red light flashed in her eyes, and the next moment, she vanished from her spot.
The next day was the disciple assembly.
Ming Li was now nominally the disciple of the Grand Elder, so she didn't want to join the commotion. Instead, she hid in the back mountain to drink peach blossom wine. As she drank, she fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already evening.
Ming Li rubbed her temples, glanced at the wine jars on the ground, and frowned. The next second, she transformed into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from her location.
Upon returning to her room, she heard a young man's happy voice from outside the door, "Senior Sister, at the disciple assembly today, I successfully became the Grand Elder's disciple! I'm moving in with you today!"
???
Ming Li thought of something, and the corner of her mouth twitched. She dispelled the smell of alcohol from her body and walked over to open the door. Looking at the young man standing outside, she said calmly, "Congratulations." You've successfully embarked on your path of courting death.
"Thank you, Senior Sister. Oh, right, Senior Sister, I'll be living next door to you from now on!"
Ming Li replied, "Mm, it's getting late. Go back and rest."
"Okay."
Watching the young man's retreating back, Ming Li shook her head, closed her door, and with a wave of her hand, lit a candle.
Suddenly, she heard the voice of Yun's system speaking, "Host, the male lead's favorability towards you has only increased to fifteen percent..."
Hearing this, Ming Li frowned and flicked a burst of spiritual energy. The next second, she finally couldn't hear that annoying voice anymore. The system, having just snuck back from the Youfeng Sect's kitchen, felt a jolt in its heart and quickly returned to the system space.
On the other side.
Sect Master's Peak.
Several elders in white robes stood before the Sect Master of the Youfeng Sect, speaking with solemn expressions, "Sect Master, the seal in the back mountain is gone. We do not know who is responsible."
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master frowned, "What do you elders mean?"
One of the elders stepped forward, "Sect Master, the seal in the back mountain that sealed the ancient fierce beast is missing. Today, we sensed an unknown powerful aura and rushed over, only to find that both the seal and the fierce beast within it had disappeared."
"What!"
Seeing the Sect Master's expression, the elder who had just spoken sighed, "Sect Master, that seal could only be broken by demons or cultivators above the Mahayana stage. But there are only a handful of such powerful individuals on the entire continent, and I doubt they would do something so pointless. Therefore, it must be demons. Thus, demons must have infiltrated our sect."
