"She's alright, after all, she’s pretty much figured out your personality."
Just mentioning this made Si feel a little exasperated.
Now, the little loli and Little Wei were practically cut from the same mold—their personalities were almost identical.
And sometimes, the little loli was even more of a "green tea" than Little Wei.
Such a tiny child, already corrupted by that beast Little Wei. The thought of it made Si’s blood boil.
"Will Duan Lingyun do anything to her?" Little Wei suddenly felt a pang of worry.
Back then, she’d only been focused on running away and hadn’t had time to consider this.
"Not likely. Duan Lingyun isn’t stupid—she’d definitely recognize you." Si smirked.
"Really? Then I’ll have to test it out." Little Wei was intrigued.
As she walked with the group, she had Si relay their location to her.
To ensure their safe exit from Sunset Forest, Little Wei escorted the Liu Family members to the outer perimeter. The area was crowded by then, and the Liu Family had people waiting at the forest’s inn. They were safe now.
"Senior, we truly owe you our gratitude for this. If you have time, you must visit the Liu Family." Liu Ruo had initially wanted to take Little Wei straight to the Liu Family.
But judging by Little Wei’s demeanor, it was clear she had other matters to attend to.
So Liu Ruo refrained from saying anything that might be unwelcome.
Hearing this, Little Wei nodded before turning and heading toward the middle region. With Si guiding her, she quickly reached the little loli’s location.
The moment Little Wei appeared, the little loli recognized her. Before she could even call out, Little Wei spotted Li Yu and his harem in the group.
Holy crap!
How was this guy still alive and kicking?
Little Wei couldn’t wrap her head around it.
Naturally, Li Yu noticed Little Wei too. Her more mature, "big sister" appearance was quite striking—after all, she had high standards for looks these days.
But what could she do? She was originally a handsome guy herself.
Little Wei had descended from the sky, making her entrance rather flashy.
Duan Lingyun spotted her immediately.
That was her master.
Duan Lingyun recognized her at a glance.
After spending so many years together, even if her master changed her appearance, she’d know her anywhere—even if she turned to ashes.
But if that was her master, then who was the one behind her…?
Duan Lingyun glanced back at the little loli.
The little loli was biting her finger, practically itching to throw herself into Little Wei’s arms.
Wuwuwu, Little Wei-jie is finally back!
But she wouldn’t actually do it.
If Si-jie got jealous, she’d be dead meat.
Li Yu eyed Little Wei, looking like he wanted to approach. Little Wei instantly regretted appearing before them like this.
Damn it.
This was all Li Yu’s fault.
May he choke on his next sip of water.
"Who are you?" The Peak Master of Dan Peak studied the girl.
What caught his attention was the Phantom Light Tiger on her shoulder.
He recognized it instantly—it was an incredibly rare creature.
This meant the person before him was at least as strong as he was.
"I’m just passing by," Little Wei said, preparing to leave.
She might as well revert to her original form—there was no benefit to staying like this.
But then, chaos erupted.
Before Little Wei could leave, a swarm of eagles dove toward them. These eagles were far from normal—their bodies radiated a red glow, their behavior frenzied and erratic.
The disciples were terrified by the sudden attack.
"Fall back!" Little Wei didn’t hesitate.
These were her precious juniors. If these eagles wanted to go crazy, they could do it somewhere else—this was just ridiculous.
"These eagles have been demonized," the Dan Peak Master declared, freezing Little Wei in place.
Demonized?
That was a sign of the Demon Clan’s emergence.
Heaven knew how many years it had been since demons last appeared in the cultivation world.
"Little Gu, take the disciples and go. I’ll handle these demonic creatures." The Dan Peak Master’s expression was uncharacteristically grave.
The little loli quickly obeyed, leading the disciples toward the outer perimeter.
Duan Lingyun glanced at Little Wei, hesitating to leave.
"Go," Little Wei said firmly.
No one knew where these things had come from, but their strength was no joke. If they attacked, those disciples wouldn’t stand a chance.
"But—" Duan Lingyun wavered.
She couldn’t bear to leave her master alone.
"If you stay, I’ll only worry about you." Little Wei sighed.
Only then did Duan Lingyun leave, though her heart ached.
Her weakness was the problem. If she were stronger, her master wouldn’t have sent her away. She wanted to stand by her master’s side, facing life and death together.
The little loli returned after ensuring the disciples’ safety.
She couldn’t leave Little Wei alone—especially with others around, since she couldn’t reveal her full strength.
"You brat, why are you back?" The Dan Peak Master barked, hurling spiritual attacks at the eagles.
"These demonized eagles are nearly impossible to kill."
This was why most cultivators feared demons.
An indestructible race was a terrifying existence in this world.
"So how do we deal with them?" Little Wei was getting impatient.
Even when struck by her staff, the demons just reformed. If not for the Dan Peak Master’s presence, her staff would’ve absorbed them outright.
She could feel the staff’s excitement.
Seemed like it was hungry again.
Too bad the situation didn’t allow it.
If she revealed that kind of power, the old man would undoubtedly drag her back to Qingdao Sect. After all, no one in this world could easily subdue demons.
And with demons appearing now, it meant the world was beginning to destabilize.
At a time like this, those capable of countering demons were in high demand.
While Little Wei was lost in thought, the little loli swung her sword, obliterating a demon that flew too close. She shot Little Wei a look.
"If you keep spacing out, things will go south fast. We won’t even complete the mission."
Little Wei ignored her and kept fighting.
"Uncle-Master, should we just run?" the little loli suggested to the Dan Peak Master.
These things were too much of a hassle—there was no quick solution.
"No. Not only do these demons lock onto their targets, but if they escape, it’ll be a disaster." The Dan Peak Master’s lips pressed into a thin line, his expression severe.
He had a sense of duty.
Qingdao Sect was meant to safeguard Canglan Continent. Their ancestors had sacrificed their chance at godhood and their very souls to protect this land.
They would never allow anything to destroy it.
The little loli didn’t quite understand the Dan Peak Master’s mindset. She hesitated, but he had no time to explain further.
"The emergence of demons poses a great threat to the continent."
The Dan Peak Master clenched his teeth.
Little Wei glanced at him.
This sense of protecting one’s homeland… it didn’t feel half bad.
