Zhao Wanxi knelt nervously on the ground, staring at the expressionless Puppet Girl in front of her, waiting for her response.

After a long silence, a cold voice came from the Puppet Girl, "Yes, from today onwards, you are my registered disciple."

A hint of joyous smile appeared on Zhao Wanxi’s face, feeling her status within the group had soared.

She quickly raised her head and said, "Thank you, Master!"

The Puppet Girl indifferently said, "Better call me Ancestor."

Zhao Wanxi quickly got up, leaned on the Puppet Girl’s legs, and said, "Thank you, Ancestor."

"Um, good." The Puppet Girl said, "Help Ancestor turn on the TV."

When Lin Xing returned, he noticed that the relationship between Bai Yiyi and Zhao Wanxi seemed to have improved significantly.

Then he heard the Puppet Girl say to him, "Lin Xing, Ancestor has just taken in another disciple; she will be your junior sister from now on."

Zhao Wanxi respectfully said, "Greetings, Senior Brother!"

"Oh." Lin Xing didn’t mind, after surfing the internet for a while, he began to practice his spiritual vision technique.

Waiting until the next day, that familiar sensation came again, and Lin Xing, with the two others, crossed the main gate and returned to the Mirror World.

What appeared before them was still the abandoned Mountain God temple they left last time.

As the Puppet Girl lifted the carriage, the trio set off northward again.

Unfortunately, along the way, the long-awaited calamity star did not manifest its power again.

It seemed that after solving several murderous trials consecutively before, Zhao Wanxi’s calamity star had temporarily entered a new state.

It was as if it evolved from continuous small misfortunes to minor calamities.

At this moment, Lin Xing felt as if they were in the calm before the storm, something was accumulating silently.

The journey that followed encountered no problems; instead, it was smooth sailing. Under Master Bai’s swift pace, Lin Xing and his companions finally crossed the border between the north and south and entered Lingxi Province where the Taiqing Sect resided.

...

Dust flew all over the official road.

A group of five riders sped towards the north.

Du Chuang of the Evil-cutting Sect shouted, "Are you sure this is the right way?"

His young disciple yelled, "Master! People who pull carriages like that are too conspicuous; many have seen them, it can’t be wrong! They went this way!"

Another man shouted, "Junior Brother, this is clearly heading towards the Taiqing Sect."

Another woman laughed, "What about the Taiqing Sect? Senior Brother, are you scared?"

The big man retorted, "Although the Taiqing Sect doesn’t show off its prowess among the nine major sects, it has stood its ground in Lingxi Province for so long, there must be a reason."

Du Chuang called out, "We’ve chased them for so long, we can’t give up now!"

"This time, by retrieving the relic in that boy’s hand, and including the other two relics you others have, we can send all three back to the sect together. Delaying further might attract the Demon from the Evil Sect."

"I’ll give up my chance for marrow cleansing this time; consider it a wasted trip for me."

"If the fellow disciples can still help me in the future, that will be enough."

The big man laughed heartily, whipped his horse, and while speeding up, he shouted, "Alright, since Junior Brother said so, I’ll accompany you. Even if that boy escapes into the Taiqing Sect, we’ll drag him out!"

...

In Lingxi Province, on the eastern border.

With the roar of engines and the dust clouding the air, three military off-road vehicles, like three giant steel monsters, advanced towards the checkpoint of Lingxi Province.

Wherever they passed, the officials and citizens made way, simply because the huge insignia on the vehicles represented their affiliation with the Xingxiao Sect.

In the first off-road vehicle, a thin young man couldn’t help but complain, "This is driving me crazy. That’s why I said I didn’t want to come here. This backward rural place, they even skimp on fixing the roads."

Next to the thin young man, a woman with long fiery red hair indifferently said, "Stop complaining. You dare defy Master’s orders?"

The thin young man chuckled, curiously asking, "I only know the Sect Leader instructed us to come to the Taiqing Sect, but what exactly are we supposed to do? That old freak in the Taiqing Sect is not easy to provoke, even for both of us as second disciples, it might be dangerous."

The red-haired woman said, "Our mission this time is related to the disaster that will occur in ten months."

Hearing about the catastrophe, the thin young man also became solemn at once.

The red-haired woman continued, "Master said that this catastrophe concerns the safety of both realms. Once it fully erupts, it could cause the deaths of billions of people within a few years, and even the Xingxiao Sect won’t be spared."

She sighed, then added, "The development of this catastrophe can be divided into three key nodes. If no one intervenes, and the events of the three nodes happen in succession, the great disaster will be inevitable."

"However, cutting off each node will significantly reduce the harm of the great disaster."

"The first node was two months ago, when Master sensed it but was already unable to stop it."

"The second node is next at Taiqing Sect, which is also our mission this time."

"The third node is at the Great Brightness Sect, where Master and the others have already personally rushed to prepare."

The thin young man asked again, "What about... What about Lin Xing?"

"After failing to capture him in this world, there’s no chance left," the red-haired woman said. "But it doesn’t matter, Master has already planned everything. He will definitely get to the Taiqing Sect this time, as he is inherently related to the second node."

The thin young man thoughtfully said, "Did the Sect Leader deliberately leak the news about capturing Lin Xing alive, perhaps also related to this second node?"

The red-haired woman nodded, "He’s not the focus. Using him to cut off the second node and then bringing him back will suffice."

At that moment, shouts came from ahead of the convoy.

A man towering over two meters tall, his body wrapped in a layer of shiny silver heavy armor, with a gigantic axe resembling a door panel carried on his back, was seen.

As the giant axe thunderously smashed into the ground, fragments and corpses flew in all directions.

"Xingxiao Sect’s scoundrels! You bring disaster to the court and control the emperor!"

"Today I shall act on heaven’s behalf!"

"Great Zhou has fostered warriors for two hundred years! Today is the day we die for justice!"

On the vehicle, the thin man said, "It’s those stubborn old-timers again, I’ll go..."

But before he could finish his words, a blast of air exploded, the SUV suddenly shook as if crushed by a tremendous force, and the red-haired woman in front of him vanished abruptly.

Moments later, another explosion and a violent shake occurred, and the woman reappeared just as suddenly.

By then, the vehicle had already passed by the giant man.

And the giant man, who had just been roaring, now stood stiffened on the spot.

Not only the giant man, but also more than ten martial artists strapped with explosives, ambushed in the nearby sandy terrain.

The giant man was merely a distraction; these ten or more martial artists were the ace up their sleeve.

But now, they too were rigidly fixed in place, the fuses of the explosives on their bodies all extinguished.

Moments later, about a dozen exploded into chunks of flesh that fell to the ground.

The thin young man chuckled, "Secondary Rangers sure are fast."

...

Taiqing Sect’s main gate.

Deep beneath the vast city, in a cavern of unknown depth,

An ancient voice rose in the darkness, "Why have you awakened me?"

"Has the inheritor of the Yuhua Reincarnation Chapter been found?"

Another young voice spoke, "No, Sect Leader, it’s a message from the Xingxiao Sect Leader."

The ancient voice questioned, "Xingxiao Sect... what is that?"

The young voice explained, "Sect Leader, you’ve forgotten again. Ten years ago, a young man broke in here and awakened you, and the sect he later established is called the Xingxiao Sect."

The ancient voice, reflecting, said, "Oh, I remember now. It was that little devil."

"Has the promised time arrived?"

The young voice replied, "Yes, Sect Leader, he said that the person agreed upon has already been delivered."
