Chapter 7: Leveling Up!

The disciples of the Shuangyi Sect were dumbstruck, finding the woman before them utterly mad.

The head disciple dropped his pretense, sneering coldly as he gestured behind him, “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, we’ll make it quick!”

At the same time, Chu Sang’s final incantation finished. She curled her three slender white fingers into a fist.

Rotating her wrist, she said, “I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it.”

Infuriated, the other side shouted, “Enough talk! Everyone, attack!”

Tantai Ming immediately rushed in front of her. “Don’t be afraid, junior sister, I’ll protect you!”

Before he could finish his sentence, a series of deafening explosions drowned him out.

Tantai Ming froze. He barely caught a glimpse of several bright yellow talismans being thrown out. In the next moment, with more loud booms, the ground shook violently like an earthquake, dust flying everywhere.

When the smoke cleared, a large crater had formed in the ground. The once-arrogant disciples of the Shuangyi Sect now lay motionless on the ground.

The fight was over in a flash.

Tantai Ming was stunned, his jaw dropping in disbelief. He looked at his hands hesitantly—he hadn’t even gotten a chance to fight.

“What did you say, senior brother?” Chu Sang asked, holding a few talismans between her fingers as she turned to him.

Tantai Ming closed his mouth. “N-Nothing.”

“Junior sister, what kind of talismans are those? They’re incredibly powerful.”

“Explosive talismans. I drew a few yesterday out of boredom. Didn’t expect they’d come in handy today.” Chu Sang blew on the talismans in her hand, smiling innocently. “These fools made perfect test subjects. I didn’t expect the talismans to be this powerful.”

“Explosive talismans?”

Tantai Ming was even more surprised. He’d seen explosive talismans before, but never ones this powerful. The blast radius affected dozens of meters, even posing a threat to Foundation Establishment cultivators!

He suddenly remembered the Swift movement talisman from before, which was also twice as fast as ordinary ones.

Why were the talismans his junior sister made always several times more powerful??

“I refuse to accept this! You two despicable cowards dared to ambush us!”

Among the charred remains, a shaky figure stood up angrily. Before the head disciple of the Shuangyi Sect could act, Tantai Ming kicked him to the ground, thrusting his sword next to the man’s head, his voice dangerous. “What did you say? You refuse?”

Chu Sang walked over, squatting down to pat the disciple’s blackened face, her innocent smile turning eerily gentle. “What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue? Weren’t you all high and mighty just now?”

The leader immediately changed his tune. “Great hero, gracious lady, it was our fault for not recognizing your greatness. Please spare us! We promise we’ll never do it again!”

Tantai Ming kicked him again, scoffing, “Junior sister, don’t believe them. These people are always treacherous and cunning, probably plotting something again.”

Chu Sang had Tantai Ming confiscate their spatial bags and weapons, planning to exchange them for spirit stones later—a blatant act of robbery.

The disciples were cursing in their hearts.

Despicable! Shameless!

“What should we do with them? Let them go?” Tantai Ming asked Chu Sang, now unconsciously seeking her opinion first.

Chu Sang made a gun gesture under her chin. “No way. Senior brother, haven’t you heard the saying? ‘If you don’t eliminate the root, the spring breeze will blow again.'”

“If we let them go so easily, they might harbor a grudge and cause trouble in secret.”

Tantai Ming understood, his expression darkening as he drew his sword. “Then we kill them!”

The disciples were terrified, nearly fainting.

Chu Sang quickly stopped him, coughing lightly. “Senior brother, didn’t I tell you before? We must be good people, grateful to this beautiful world, and cherish all life. We can’t kill indiscriminately!”

Tantai Ming gave her a puzzled look. His junior sister’s words were strange; in the cultivation world, strength ruled, and the weak had no choice over life and death.

But she must have her reasons.

Tantai Ming sheathed his sword, standing guard, glaring at the disciples to prevent any tricks.

Chu Sang fished out a few talismans from her spatial bag, waving them in front of the disciples, smiling innocently. “We’re neighbors, after all. I don’t want to push things too far. I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourselves.”

“These are talismans I made last night and haven’t tested yet.” She introduced them one by one, “This is the itching talisman. It causes unbearable itching that worsens the more you scratch, eventually leading to death by skin rot.”

“This is the sleeping talisman. It puts the person into a deep sleep. Even if thrown into a beast horde and trampled to death, they won’t wake up.”

“And this is the passion talisman.”

Her voice paused, and her bright face smiled even more meaningfully. “As long as two people are stuck with this talisman, they will continuously mate day and night until they die from exhaustion.”

She waved the talismans in front of the seven. “Who wants to try first?”

Tantai Ming: …Might as well give them a quick death.

And, junior sister, what weird things are you researching every day??

The seven were already pale, nearly fainting. She called herself a good person? How could a good person do such cruel things??

Even legendary demonic cultivators weren’t this ruthless!

Too terrifying! They never wanted to set foot in the Lingqing Sect again!!

In the end, Tantai Ming knocked them out one by one, tied them up, and put them in sacks, forcing the Shuangyi Sect to pay ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones to redeem them.

Chu Sang patted the heavy bag of spirit stones, sighing, “Good deeds are rewarded. When you need money, it comes to you.”

Tantai Ming’s mouth twitched, feeling they weren’t quite fitting the image of good people. But… it was unexpectedly satisfying!

They’d always been bullied by other sects. This was the first time he’d reclaimed their dignity and made a hefty profit!

Junior sister was truly a lucky star!

He really liked her!
