A group of seven people hurriedly walked into the ruined temple. Leading the group were two young men and women, dressed in magnificent clothes. Next to them stood a middle-aged man who looked quite shrewd. Behind them were four guards dressed in black, holding swords...

As soon as they entered, they exchanged glances with Pei Yun and the other three. Neither side spoke. The seven people looked at Pei Yun and the others warily, then walked to another corner of the ruined temple...

Pei Yun observed secretly and found that among the seven people, except for the woman who was in the Qi Refining Stage, the others were Foundation Establishment cultivators. The one with the highest cultivation level was the middle-aged man who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

She let down her guard a little and continued chatting with Yuan Ze: "Mr. Yuan, when we arrive in Qingcheng tomorrow, I would like to ask you to help us draw a map to Shengdan City..."

"Thank you for your kindness, senior. It's just a small favor." Yuan Ze waved his hand.

He saw that although Pei Yun had a higher level of cultivation and was stronger than him, he still respected him. He did not have the arrogance of those young disciples of the sects he had seen before, who looked down on them as independent cultivators.

So Yuan Ze couldn't help but give her a few more pointers, mainly talking about some of the big sects and powerful families in Nanyuezhou, suggesting that she act with caution, and finally said with a smile:

"… Senior, it's a coincidence that you went to Shengdan City this time, and you can just witness this grand event. When my master and I were in Jingcheng a while ago, we heard that Shengdan City's 20-year selection event for recruiting disciples is about to begin. The Lord of Shengdan City, Venerable Wei Cheng, has also come out of retreat and will be present at the event. Now almost all the alchemists in Nanyue Continent are rushing to Shengdan City to participate in this event. After all, if you become Venerable Wei's personal disciple, your future is limitless!"

As he said this, Yuan Hui and Murong Lei on the side showed longing on their faces. Murong Lei even forgot the painful lesson of being abducted and shouted that he must ask his brother and sister to take him to watch the event.

Pei Yun was also very tempted. Of course, she didn't want to become someone's disciple, but she had a strong interest in the alchemy level and techniques of Nanyue Continent.

On the other side, listening to the conversation between Pei Yun and the other three, the expressions of the seven people gradually relaxed. When they heard the information about Shengdan City, they couldn't help but start chatting.

The young man in gorgeous clothes, Yu Zhibei, said, "This time my father asked me to participate in the selection of disciples for Shengdan City. Uncle Yu, do you think I can make it?"

The middle-aged man Yu Li smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, young master. You are the most talented alchemist among the younger generation of our Yu Family Villa. You will definitely succeed!"

"Husband, the owner of the manor said that you are a genius in alchemy. You will definitely shine when you arrive in Shengdan City..." The woman beside him encouraged him confidently.

The people on both sides talked about their own things without disturbing each other. For a while, the atmosphere in the dilapidated temple gradually eased. Just when both sides thought they would spend the night in peace, the dilapidated temple once again welcomed several uninvited guests...

"There is a dilapidated temple here. Let's go hide there!" Excited shouts came from not far outside the dilapidated temple.

A group of five people, three men and two women, rushed in recklessly. These five people were all quite young, and had injuries to varying degrees. One of them was seriously injured, with black blood in his abdomen, and had fallen into a coma...

Pei Yun and his four other companions in the ruined temple and the seven people in another corner all focused their attention on these five people, frowning and looking alert.

"They are disciples of Qingjian Sect and must not be offended." Yu Li looked at the disciple uniforms worn by the five people and recognized their identities, so he transmitted a message to the other six.

Yuan Ze caught a glimpse of the sect mark on the hems of the five people's clothes, his pupils shrank, and he whispered: "Senior, these five people are disciples of the Qingjian Sect..."

Pei Yun raised her eyebrows, remembering what Yuan Ze had told her before, that Qingjian Sect was one of the major sects in Nanyue Continent and was very powerful.

The attitude of the five Qingjian Sect disciples was also very arrogant. They only glanced at the other two groups and treated them as if they did not exist. They directly occupied most of the ruined temple and even set up a barrier at the gate of the ruined temple without the consent of the other two groups...

"Brother Tong, what should we do now? Those bandits will probably catch up with us soon, and Sister Zhang is seriously injured and poisoned..."

"I have just sent a message back to the sect on the way. There are many monsters in Guitou Mountain, and Junior Sister Zhang is still injured. It will be difficult for us to escape from Guitou Mountain for the time being. Now we can only wait for the sect to send someone to rescue us..."

Senior Brother Tong was halfway through his words when he realized there were outsiders present, and he swallowed back the second half of his words, which said that most of their spiritual power had been used up and all the pills had been used up.

But just these words had already shocked the other two groups. Yu Li immediately stood up and sent a message to Yu Zhibei: "Young Master, this is bad. These Qingjian Sect disciples must have been defeated by the bandits and fled here. They will definitely lead the bandits here. We have to leave quickly..."

After he said this, Yu Zhibei nodded without hesitation, and the seven of them immediately stood up and walked towards the gate of the ruined temple...

"What are you doing?" A disciple of Qingjian Sect asked arrogantly when he saw them walking towards the barrier.

"Don't get me wrong, fellow Daoist. We don't want to destroy your barrier. We are just in a hurry to get on with our journey, so we want to leave first..." Yu Li explained hurriedly.

"Senior, let's leave too!" Yuan Ze also suggested. This group of people were chased here by bandits, making this dilapidated temple a dangerous place.

"...Okay." If it was Pei Yun alone, she would definitely stay and try to see if she could get rid of the bully in Guitou Mountain. But now the three people around her are all in the Qi Refining Stage, and there are many bandits in the mountain. She dare not guarantee the safety of these three people. Moreover, with outsiders around, she cannot hide in the space.

The four of them also stood up and walked towards the door, and the people from the three parties suddenly surrounded the door...

"No, we can't let them out!" The young male disciple of Qingjian Sect stood at the door, looking at the other two groups with disdain, and maliciously speculated: "What if you go out now and meet bandits and sell our location to them?"

"Senior Brother Tong, what I said makes sense, doesn't it?" He said and turned to Senior Brother Tong beside him.

Among the five Qingjian Sect disciples, the other ones are all foundation-building cultivators, except for Senior Brother Tong. Pei Yun cannot tell the cultivation level, but he estimates that he is a Jindan cultivator.

"If you guys hadn't led the bandits here, we wouldn't have been in such a hurry to leave in the middle of the night in the heavy rain. Really! You're really good at turning the tables on those who are hurting others and shouting for help!" The young woman among the seven couldn't help but retort.

"You!" The disciples of Qingjianmen immediately became angry and embarrassed after hearing her words. Except for the disciple who was seriously injured, the other four walked to the door and stood in front of everyone.

"How dare you scold us disciples of Qingjian Sect? Who gave you the courage?"

"Today, unless we leave first, none of you can leave..."

"I don't know where this country bumpkin came from, but he actually dared to act so presumptuously on the territory of my Qingjian Sect! Tsk!"

"It's a misunderstanding, fellow Taoist from Qingjian Sect, please forgive us. We are from Yu Family Villa in Nanyuezhou. We are just passing through here and are about to go to Shengdan City..."

"I don't care which villa you are from, this is the territory of our Qingjian Sect. If we say no, then it's no. Who knows what you are up to? What if you tell the bandits about it after you get out?"

Pei Yun was already impatient to watch the two sides fighting, so he led the other three people to push through the crowd, walked in front of the Qingjian Sect disciples, and looked at the four people coldly: "Get out of the way! Let us go out."

"Who are you? Didn't you hear us? I said no..."

The Qingjian Sect disciple who had been chattering non-stop had not even finished his words when Pei Yun pushed him out with a palm. He was thrown out of the door and fell to the ground in a mess.

The atmosphere immediately became tense, and the battle seemed to be imminent...

"Get out of the way!" Pei Yun looked at the other three people blocking the door with a sharp gaze, with a warning tone in his eyes.

Not only the three people from Qingjianmen, but everyone present was shocked by Pei Yun's powerful aura. They didn't expect that this woman would start fighting as soon as she said so, and her movements were quick and decisive. The strength she displayed surprised everyone!

He is so young, yet he has such strength just by showing off his skills!

"Do you want me to say it a third time?"

The three people from Qingjian Sect came to their senses. Senior Brother Tong glanced at Pei Yun and made way for him: "Let them leave!"

"Senior Brother Tong!" The other two companions were dissatisfied with letting Pei Yun go like this.

The Qingjian Sect disciple outside the door had an even uglier expression on his face. He had made such a fool of himself in front of everyone, which made him, who was always arrogant, full of resentment towards Pei Yun.

But Pei Yun's palm strike just now made him vaguely understand that this woman's strength might be quite strong, so at this moment, he had no choice but to stare at her fiercely.

The seven people from Yu Family Villa were delighted and quickly followed Pei Yun and the other three out.

No one expected that after just a few steps, a large number of bandits came straight to the dilapidated temple from not far away. There were more than a hundred of them, and they surrounded the entire dilapidated temple...
