I Don't Regret It Either

【However, things wouldn't be that simple. When Lin Xuan attempted to destroy the totem, he triggered its guardian, the stone statues of demonic beasts. The totem altar wasn't suitable for deploying an army of demonic beasts to guard it, as the altar would continuously drain their power.】

【Staying here for too long would undoubtedly lead to the death of the demonic beasts.】

【Even without the demonic beasts, these stone statues were no easy opponents. Lin Xuan tried to deal with them but failed, only ending up in a more miserable state.】

【But he could play one force against another.】

【Since the Heavenly Demon Sect was tracking him, he decided to use them to his advantage.】

【Lin Xuan began to take the initiative, plotting a route to lure us in.】

【We, the Heavenly Demon Sect, were indeed easy to fool, especially me. As soon as I saw Lin Xuan, I chased after him, eager to fight and kill. With our overwhelming advantage, what was there to fear?】

【Just as we were about to catch up, Lin Xuan executed a series of frantic maneuvers and disappeared from our sight. His goal had been achieved.】

【The surrounding stone statues of demonic beasts activated, surrounding us.】

【However, our Heavenly Demon Sect had many titled demons this time, so these statues weren't a problem. The real issue was Lin Xuan, who waited in the shadows. Taking advantage of our exhaustion after the battle, he struck.】

【After more than a month, Lin Xuan had grown stronger, and his combat prowess was no joke. After a fierce battle, he managed to finish off several titled demons.】

【Of course, I wasn't among them. Once again, I was the only one to survive.】

【If our Heavenly Demon Sect had used such tactics, we would have been called despicable and shameless. But when Lin Xuan did it, it was seen as clever and resourceful. No complaints there.】

【Afterward, Lin Xuan also destroyed the totem altar, obtaining some treasures, while a certain power allowed his little Split God Tiger to grow stronger.】

【A fruitful harvest indeed.】

【Lin Xuan then smoothly arrived at the Emperor Heaven Sect. At this point, it was just another classic scenario.】

The people of the Emperor Heaven Sect looked down on Lin Xuan, partly because of his disheveled and awkward appearance, and partly because the Emperor Heaven Sect held an inexplicable sense of superiority over the South Continent. Being the strongest sect in the cultivation world, they believed they were the best, and people from the South Continent were nothing.

【However, Di Hao'ao treated him like a brother, and Lin Xuan brought with him the reason for the demonic beasts' overwhelming strength.】

【Slap after slap, their faces were thoroughly smacked, leaving them utterly ashamed.】

Su Luo closed the diary.

【Diary completed. Reward: Defense +2, Strength +2.】

【Obtained special ability: Tiny Shield.】

【Summon a shield that can block any single instance of damage. Cooldown: 24 hours.】

A defensive item?

Seeing that it could block any single instance of damage, Su Luo found it quite useful and immediately summoned it.

Indeed, it was a tiny shield, about the size of a keyboard.

Su Luo suddenly had a bad feeling.

Upon testing it, his suspicions were confirmed.

The shield could block any damage, but only within its size. If the attack was larger than the shield, only the portion covered by the shield would be blocked, while the rest would have to be endured.

In essence, it was an indestructible shield, but only within its limited size.

Still, it was quite useful, a watered-down version of invincibility.

Having accepted the mission, it was time to set out.

Once again, Su Luo decided not to bring anyone with him.

It was at this moment that Su Luo realized Little Yu had come to the wrong place.

He didn't want Little Yu to do anything bad, let alone attack their former comrades in the Seven Stars Sword Sect.

Bad girls were never appealing.

Besides, Little Yu wasn't cut out for such things.

Su Luo had also wondered if it was really good for Little Yu to stay by his side.

At such a young age, shouldn't she be out exploring the world instead of wasting her time with a slacker like him?

He would have to discuss this with Little Yu later and see what she thought.

After bidding farewell to Little Yu and Yun, Su Luo set off.

Little Yu watched Su Luo leave, feeling somewhat lost.

Yun noticed Little Yu's sadness and said, "How about we secretly follow him? If you go, I'll go too."

But Little Yu shook her head. "No, Su Luo didn't want me to come because I wouldn't be of any help."

"We don't have to help. We can just follow him."

"Even though I don't know what Su Luo is planning, he doesn't want any complications. I can't go and cause trouble for him."

"You really care about Su Luo, but don't you feel useless for not being able to help him?"

Yun wasn't trying to mock Little Yu, but she felt Little Yu needed to understand her current situation.

"I do, I really do," Little Yu replied, having gradually realized this after coming here. "Su Luo is amazing. He can handle anything."

"So what will you do?"

"Train hard. Someday, I'll be useful."

"Is that all?"

"That's all I can do."

Yun sighed and asked a more pointed question: "Little Yu, do you regret coming here?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because you haven't been of any use here. You've just been training. If you were at the Seven Stars Sword Sect, you could do more and make a name for yourself."

"No, I don't regret it. At least every day with Su Luo has been happy. I think this is all I'll ever amount to."

Little Yu rarely joked about herself, but these words were sincere.

"Then I have nothing more to say."

"What about you? Do you regret following Su Luo?" Little Yu asked.

Yun was taken aback. No one had ever asked her that before.

Thinking carefully, as Yun, she hadn't been of much help to Su Luo either. She mostly spent her time idling around with him.

But it was much better than before, when she was on Cloud Peak.

Back then, she wasn't interested in anything, feeling indifferent and lifeless.

Here, chatting with Su Luo, sometimes being amused by his random remarks, playing with Xiao Pa, and secretly observing what Su Luo was up to... everything seemed to bring her joy.

In the end, Yun replied, "I don't regret it either. It might be the best decision I've ever made."

......

Su Luo arrived at the gathering point, where a group of titled demons had already assembled.

Everyone was preparing to set out.

There were even some familiar faces, like Yin Youming.

However, this time Yin Youming didn't cause any trouble for Su Luo. He acted as if he didn't see him and even actively avoided him.

Su Luo didn't think he was afraid. More likely, he was still plotting something.

But it didn't matter anymore. He was no longer the person who could torment me at will.

Once everyone had gathered, they set out without any need for discussion or planning.

This mission was all about causing chaos.

They were already well-versed in this.
