When Chu Lingwei realized she was being followed, she had already quietly set up over a dozen barriers for the Huatian realm cultivator.
Even if he was a Huatian realm cultivator, he wouldn't be able to break through the barriers instantly.
"Nine Heavens Nine Forms."
Chu Lingwei hardened her heart, and her Ice Jade Frost Sword instantly turned into ten thousand streams of spiritual light, striking at the Huatian realm cultivator.
"Ah."
With the protection of spatial power, Chu Lingwei could challenge opponents of higher realms, and her spiritual power surged.
The Huatian realm cultivator was heavily struck to the ground, emitting pained groans.
"How is this possible?" The Huatian realm cultivator was shocked. How could a Linglun realm cultivator be defeated in one move?
"Speak, who told you to keep following me?" Chu Lingwei approached the Huatian realm cultivator. "If you don't say, then don't blame me for taking your life."
The Huatian realm cultivator paid no mind to Chu Lingwei's threat and continuously unleashed spiritual energy, trying to break through the barriers.
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me."
A cold smile appeared on Chu Lingwei's lips. Gripping her spiritual sword, she charged towards the Huatian realm cultivator.
Just as the spiritual sword was about to pierce the Huatian realm cultivator, a dark shadow appeared and vanished with him before Chu Lingwei's eyes.
A Zhizun realm cultivator?
Chu Lingwei hadn't misjudged the person's cultivation.
"Weiwei, that person escaped," Huan Mao appeared before Chu Lingwei, confusion in his eyes. "How can there be a Zhizun realm cultivator here?"
"There can be great demons on the Xuan Tian Continent, so there might be Zhizun realm mighty figures here as well."
Chu Lingwei gazed in the direction they had left. Why was a Zhizun realm mighty figure following her? What secret realm did she possess that so many people were interested in?
"Weiwei, this place is too dangerous, let's go back," Feng Ming hugged Chu Lingwei. She felt that many people were following Weiwei, and this place was not safe at all.
"They probably won't let me leave," Chu Lingwei shook her head. At least, the people she had encountered didn't want her to leave.
"Who won't let Weiwei leave?"
At this moment, a voice laced with a smile entered Chu Lingwei's ears.
"Senior Brother." Hearing the voice, Chu Lingwei felt helpless. She knew that as long as she appeared at the Leng family's restaurant, her Senior Brother would surely know her whereabouts.
Chu Lingwei turned her head and saw Leng Xingzhi standing in the moonlight, his silver robes fluttering in the moonbeams. She didn't know how long her Senior Brother had been there.
"Senior Brother, did you just arrive in the Demon Realm?"
"Weiwei, weren't you going to Shenhe Forest? Why did you suddenly come to the Demon Realm?" Leng Xingzhi lightly tapped Chu Lingwei's forehead. This little girl would get into trouble if not watched carefully.
"I didn't know the mist in Shenhe Forest was the entrance to the Demon Realm. I entered here by accident," Chu Lingwei rubbed her forehead. Senior Brother always liked to tap her forehead, and she couldn't fight back.
Leng Xingzhi and Chu Lingwei returned to the room and sat down on chairs by the window.
"So, you've been in the Demon Realm for three months?" Leng Xingzhi shook his head in resignation.
"Yes, Senior Brother, are you here to take me back?" Chu Lingwei nodded. If Leng Xingzhi hadn't appeared, she might have had to stay here for another six months.
"If I hadn't come, would you really have stayed here for another half a year?" Leng Xingzhi raised an eyebrow. The Cangshan Secret Realm would open in three years, and her junior sister had to break through to the Rongtian realm within these three years.
Chu Lingwei remained silent. Even if her Senior Brother had come, she still wanted to stay here for another six months.
"Senior Brother, I find the spiritual energy in the Demon Realm to be very dense, and it's quite fun here."
"Nonsense."
Leng Xingzhi's voice was stern. "Don't you realize that the spiritual energy here can't help you break through at all?"
It was true that the spiritual energy in the Demon Realm was dense, but for human cultivators like them, their cultivation would be difficult to advance.
"I've realized that," Chu Lingwei said glumly. She had initially shown signs of breaking through, but after staying here for three months, she had remained stagnant. She had realized it.
Leng Xingzhi's voice softened. He stepped forward and came to Chu Lingwei. "Since you know, why do you insist on staying?"
"Senior Brother, someone gave me a withered branch from the Phoenix Clan's sacred tree. I want to know why they insisted on me staying," Chu Lingwei took out the withered branch. "I want to know why so many people know about the Phoenix Clan, and how the Phoenix Clan was annihilated."
A cold glint flashed in Leng Xingzhi's eyes. He reached out and held Chu Lingwei's hand. "Weiwei, let's put the matter of the Phoenix Clan aside for now. I'll take you back, and you need to go into seclusion to break through."
"Senior Brother, am I not yet old enough to know the truth?" Chu Lingwei withdrew her hand, a hint of sigh in her eyes.
"Weiwei, the Phoenix Clan has not disappeared. It's just that if their whereabouts are exposed, it will bring them even greater disaster," Leng Xingzhi turned around and looked at the bright moon in the sky. "Everyone on the Xuan Tian Continent is in a state of panic. Do you want to witness them fall into danger again?"
Chu Lingwei moved her lips. Of course, she didn't want that.
"I understand," Chu Lingwei's voice held a hint of helplessness. How many things did she not know?
"Be good and come back with me to cultivate properly," Leng Xingzhi reached out and stroked Chu Lingwei's head, his eyes gentle. "Master is waiting for you at the Spiritual Cultivation Academy."
Chu Lingwei looked into her Senior Brother's eyes and finally nodded without refusing. "Okay."
Chu Lingwei knew in her heart that only by becoming stronger could she deal with all the changes.
"Rest well, we'll leave tomorrow." Leng Xingzhi smiled upon hearing his junior sister agree to leave.
"Weiwei, are we really leaving?" Feng Ming pouted. As long as Senior Brother appeared, Weiwei would listen to him in everything.
"Yes, I do need to break through and enter the Rongtian realm as soon as possible." She now knew the method of entering the Demon Realm, and there would be opportunities to return in the future.
Feng Ming was about to say something else when Huan Mao stopped her.
The next day, Leng Xingzhi appeared before Chu Lingwei again.
"Junior Sister, let's go."
Chu Lingwei stood beside Leng Xingzhi, and their flying artifact soon soared into the sky. The speed was so fast that Chu Lingwei could clearly see the entire Demon Realm below.
The Demon Realm was vast, and almost every city was protected by a barrier.
With each barrier crossed, a new landscape would appear: pavilions and courtyards, immortal mountains and sea castles, all different.
"Looking at the Demon Realm from above, it's quite beautiful here."
"Every great demon has its own territory, and their territories are built according to the great demon's preferences," Leng Xingzhi held Chu Lingwei's hand. "The Yan Mountain Town where you are is just a cultivation territory, so you'll see many different demon cultivators."
"You mean, in the great demon territories, there won't be so many demon cultivators?" Chu Lingwei looked down. She didn't seem to see many towns. It seemed that demon cultivators, like human cultivators, needed quiet cultivation.
