Chapter 246: Dirty things, don’t defile my Senior Sister Zhou
Yao Wuji’s words instantly made Si Tu Xuan feel a strong sense of danger.

It was true. Yu Zhao’s friends were spread all over the cultivation world. If he stood still and stopped making progress, he would have no face to call himself Yu Zhao’s friend in the future.

Not to mention the shameful feelings he secretly held for Yu Zhao.

Si Tu Xuan took another look at the area below, which was covered in thick smoke, then turned around to leave.

Yao Wu Jiasked in surprise: “Si Tu Xuan, why are you leaving?”

“I have to hurry and temper myself.”

Si Tu Xuan’s voice drifted away on the wind.

Yao Wu Jifroze for a moment, then glared angrily in the direction he had left.

“Fine. Even at a time like this you still think about training. You want to use this chance to surpass me? Keep dreaming!”

She also gave up on staying to wait for the result and turned back into the cave.

Yu Zhao’s strength did not need her to worry. She should focus on improving herself.

…

Yu Zhao walked out of the stone cave.

A feeling that all things lay under her feet rose up inside her without warning.

She stretched out her palm, then slowly closed her fingers into a fist.

The air around her crackled with sharp sonic booms.

With a thought from Yu Zhao, her figure blurred.

In the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of Yao Wuji.

She was just about to speak when Yao Wu Jiactually ignored her and walked right past her.

Yu Zhao was stunned.

She was sure Yao Wu Jihad noticed her.

So why was she pretending not to see her?

“Yao Wuji…”

Yao Wu Jisuddenly turned her head. Her voice was sharp as she said: “Yu Zhao, did you form your Nascent Soul?”

“Yes, I…”

Yu Zhao wanted to tell Yao Wu Jithat she was planning to leave the Nine Abyss Secret Realm and would not be traveling with her.

But before she could finish, Yao Wu Jitugged at the corner of her mouth and cut her off first: “Impressive. As expected of an elite disciple of the Five Elements Dao Sect. People like us rogue cultivators can’t compare to you.”

The smile at the corner of Yu Zhao’s lips slowly faded, and her expression went cold.

“You are not Yao Wuji.”

Someone as proud as Yao Wu Jiwould never say something that sour and sarcastic.

“Yu Zhao, what do you mean? Just because you became a Nascent Soul cultivator, you think you can look down on people?”

Yao Wu Jiacted even more angry than Yu Zhao. She stretched out her hand and threw the spirit herbs she had just picked down at Yu Zhao’s feet.

Yu Zhao did not react.

She flicked her fingers, sending out a streak of spiritual light that shot straight toward Yao Wuji.

Yao Wuji’s face changed. She slapped her spirit pet pouch with her right hand, and a red spider dropped to the ground beside her.

She grabbed at the air with her left hand, and a long red silk ribbon appeared, fluttering in her grip.

Yu Zhao’s gaze wavered for a moment.

Whether it was Yao Wu Jiherself or the spirit pet Chi Yu she summoned, they were exactly the same as in Yu Zhao’s memory, without a single flaw.

Could she be wrong?

But almost in the same instant, Yu Zhao denied that thought.

This was not the Yao Wu Jishe knew.

A fake was still a fake. No matter how well it imitated the real thing, it could never become real.

“Yu Zhao, what I hate most is that calm face of yours. You were driven out by Master Qing Yan and became a stray dog. What right do you have to form your Nascent Soul before me? I refuse to accept it!”

As Yao Wu Jishouted her accusations, the spiritual light pierced through the spider’s web and hit the red silk ribbon on her chest.

A huge force traveled along the red silk ribbon into her chest. Her body was flung high into the air and then slammed down hard.

“Puff.”

Bright red blood gushed out of her mouth.

A drop of blood splashed onto the back of Yu Zhao’s hand, bringing with it a faint warmth.

Every tiny detail seemed to remind Yu Zhao that this was not an illusory realm.

“Fellow Daoist Yu!”

Si Tu Xuan’s footsteps rushed closer from far away.

When he saw the scene inside the cave, he froze on the spot.

“Si Tu… Xuan… Yu Zhao… tried to kill me…”

Yao Wu Jilay on the ground. Blood poured from her throat, and now and then she coughed up bits of torn organs.

Si Tu Xuan was at a loss, but he still chose to stand firmly on Yu Zhao’s side.

“Fellow Daoist Yu would never attack you for no reason. Yao Wuji, did you overstep and make her angry?”

Yao Wu Jitrembled with rage, but her words were still clear: “Si Tu Xuan, do you dare swear to the heavens that you are not jealous of Yu Zhao? You are the young family master of the Si Tu Clan, yet you are still worse than a sect’s discarded disciple. Can you really accept that?”

Si Tu Xuan fell silent.

Yao Wu Jilet out a cold laugh: “She was never the same kind of person as us to begin with.”

Si Tu Xuan did not speak, but his flickering eyes exposed the unease in his heart.

At that moment, Yu Zhao clicked her tongue.

She really could not stand to watch anymore.

She did not know Si Tu Xuan as deeply as Yao Wu Jidid, but she was sure he was not a narrow-minded, jealous man.

Even if, taking a huge step back, Si Tu Xuan had complaints about her, he would not stay silent while others slandered her. He would state his own view instead of using this so-called neutral stance to vent malice.

Yu Zhao had already guessed that she was facing a Heart Devil tribulation.

Normally, when a cultivator formed their Nascent Soul, the Heart Devil tribulation would appear during the moment their core shattered.

But for some reason, when it was her turn, the Heart Devil tribulation came quietly only after her Nascent Soul was already complete.

The dangerous thing about it was that she was drenched in the joy of breaking through, so she would subconsciously ignore details that felt wrong.

Yu Zhao was very glad that the first test of her Heart Devil tribulation took the form of Yao Wu Jiand Si Tu Xuan, because she trusted their character.

If the people standing in front of her had been those from Lone Moon Peak, she might really have relaxed her guard and fallen into the trap.

“Yu Zhao, Yao Wu Jiis already like this and you can still smile. No wonder everyone says you are cold and withdrawn, not as sensible as your Junior Sister. Maybe you should reflect on yourself.”

Si Tu Xuan spoke with a dark face, his tone full of blame.

Yu Zhao let out a soft laugh: “Are you done talking?”

“Yes.”

“Then you can go die now.”

Without hesitation, Yu Zhao twisted Si Tu Xuan’s neck.

His words could no longer hurt her at all. They only deepened her suspicions once again.

“Yu Zhao… you will not die a good… uh!”

Before Yao Wu Jicould finish her last sentence, Yu Zhao sent her on her way as well.

The two bodies lay in front of Yu Zhao. She gave them a light glance and was about to turn around and leave.

But when she turned, she met a pair of complicated eyes.

“Little Six, did you kill them?”

Looking at Fang Cheng Lang’s face, full of pain and pity, Yu Zhao lifted her brows in boredom. She did not even feel like talking. She simply reached out and snapped his neck too.

She stepped over Fang Cheng Lang’s body. After she walked only a few steps forward, Lan Zi Yu came rushing over in a fluster, blurting out a stream of accusations.

One annoying person after another kept appearing in front of her, and Yu Zhao’s mood was inevitably affected.

So she chose the simplest and most brutal method. With one punch, she sent Lan Zi Yu on his way.

After that came Su Ming, Cui Jue, Quan Ye…

One after another, the people who had once brought her endless pain blocked her path, and Yu Zhao’s steps never stopped for even a moment.

“Junior Sister Yu, stop.”

When Zhou Jin Yue’s figure appeared, Yu Zhao stopped and smiled.

She was so angry that she laughed.

If she had to pick one person in the entire cultivation world to entrust her life to, Yu Zhao would always choose only one: Zhou Jin Yue.

When thousands pointed at her and cursed her, Senior Sister Zhou was the only one who did not distance herself because of rumors. She would never judge Yu Zhao without knowing the truth and pile blame on her.

“Filthy thing, do not defile my Senior Sister Zhou.”
