Although Guan Yue has reached the Eternal Realm, she does not believe she can gain her family's approval. However, her grandfather's words today clearly told her that she has the right to choose her own partner freely. 0
 
That is enough. Since she is Ouyang Shaohua's partner, how could she neglect the safety of the Ouyang Family? 0
 
Ouyang Chongyang's change in attitude is due to his awareness that Guan Yue has gained the recognition of the Southern Source Poor Scholar and has already been accepted as a disciple. 0
 
Ouyang Chongyang knows a bit about the Southern Source Poor Scholar; he is the pride of the Southern Source Empire and the entire Yongning Continent. The Southern Source Poor Scholar is the first Great Deity to appear in Yongning Continent and also the only Disciple at the Great Dao Realm. 0
 
His legend has existed for over ten thousand years. 0
 
When Ouyang Shaohua excitedly reported this news, Ouyang Chongyang immediately believed it. He knew that the Little Ancestor Saint of Dragon Lake Academy was indeed a disciple of the Southern Source Poor Scholar and was the second disciple. 0
 
His eldest disciple was Ouyang Family's ancestor, named Ouyang Wan Ning. At that time, Ouyang Wan Ning had also reached the peak of the Eternal Realm, which is why he was accepted as a disciple by the Southern Source Poor Scholar. 0
 
However, now Guan Yue has just entered the Initial Stage of the Eternal Realm and has already caught the attention of the Southern Source Poor Scholar, which surprised Ouyang Chongyang a bit. 0
 
It was precisely because the Southern Source Poor Scholar took Ouyang Wan Ning as a disciple that the Ouyang Family has thrived for generations. This is also why Ouyang Chongyang places more importance on martial power and looks down on imperial authority! 0
 
He also knows that the Southern Source Poor Scholar possesses a very powerful technique called Transformational Realm, which particularly aids Disciples in cultivating Spatial Power. 0
 
Now that Guan Yue has become his disciple, she will undoubtedly cultivate Spatial Power. If she can achieve great things with Ouyang Shaohua in the future, then the Ouyang Family can enjoy blessings for thousands of years. 0
 
Considering all these factors, the Elder made today's statement, granting Ouyang Shaohua the freedom to choose her husband while also giving Guan Yue significant respect. 0
 
 
This made Ouyang Shaohua extremely excited. 0
 
When Huangfu Jiayun obtained the one thousand pounds of solidified Spiritual Energy, her heart felt a deeper gratitude towards Guan Yue, which made her even more eager to resolve the conflict between Guan Yue and Zihongfang. 0
 
She immediately divided the solidified Spiritual Energy into two portions, giving five hundred pounds to Zihongfang. 0
 
Zihongfang had not used it herself; she wanted to ensure that these five hundred pounds of Condensed Spiritual Energy would serve a more significant purpose. 0
 
Indeed, the opportunity soon arrived. 0
 
Luqiu Manhe, the vice president of Chunhua Academy, had her daughter Luqiu Yanfeng organize a team to capture high-level spirit beasts in the mountainous area, and Zihongfang quickly signed up to participate. She had always regarded the cheerful and carefree Luqiu Yanfeng as a stepping stone for her rise in Chunhua Academy and had been keeping an eye on her movements. Their relationship had been growing closer. 0
 
The seven of them entered the Lanling Mountain Range together for beast hunting as per Luqiu Yanfeng's request. This served as their training, and the captured prey could be exchanged for useful items at the academy, so they frequently went out to hunt. 0
 
Three girls could create one performance, while seven girls could create two. 0
 
However, due to Luqiu Yanfeng's special status, personal grievances among the girls were suppressed. They unconsciously grouped according to their usual closeness, with only Zihongfang spending all day with Luqiu Yanfeng. 0
 
This left a deep impression on Luqiu Yanfeng. 0
 
On this day, they reached the depths of the Lanling Mountain Range, an area where advanced spirit beasts of levels seven, eight, and nine roamed. For them as Guardian Realm Practitioners, it should be completely manageable. 0
 
Thus, Luqiu Yanfeng arranged for the seven girls to split into two groups to hunt spirit beasts separately and meet at a designated location in the evening. The prey would be counted separately. 0
 
 
Luqiu Yanfeng was teamed up with Zihongfang and another girl, while the other four girls formed a separate group. After agreeing on a method of contact, they went their separate ways. 0
 
Zihongfang's group had bad luck and had not discovered any high-level spirit beasts. The Beast Core of high-level spirit beasts was valuable, so their target was high-level spirit beasts. 0
 
The three of them released their Divine Sense to search the surroundings and then slowly advanced forward. 0
 
One girl reminded them, "There are no spirit beasts around here. It’s likely that a powerful spirit beast is nearby, which is why there are no spirit beasts in sight. We need to be careful." 0
 
Luqiu Yanfeng boldly said, "What powerful spirit beast could it be? Could it be a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast? If there is a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast, it would be worth several Eighth-Order Spirit Beasts." 0
 
The girl expressed her concern again, "Yanfeng, we might not be able to handle a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast, right?" 0
 
Luqiu Yanfeng replied angrily, "What a joke! There are three of us in the Guardian Realm; how could we not deal with a Ninth-Order Spirit Beast? That would be the laughingstock of everyone." 0
 
Zihongfang had never encountered an Advanced Spirit Beast before and felt anxious, but she followed Luqiu Yanfeng's lead and said, "Exactly! There are three of us; what is there to fear? At worst, we’ll fight it to the end." 0
 
Hearing both of them say this, the other girl fell silent. 0
 
As they ventured deeper, animals and beasts were nearly absent. Only the gentle mountain breeze brought relief to the tired girls. 0
 
Suddenly, Luqiu Yanfeng heard the sound of water ahead. She ran a few steps closer and saw that a river had appeared before them. 0
 
Luqiu Yanfeng smiled and said, "This is truly Heaven's Will. Look at how exhausted we are; having this clear river to bathe in is just wonderful." 0
 
 
The girl accompanying them expressed her doubts, saying, "This land is very strange. We should avoid washing and hurry through this area." 0
 
At that moment, Zihongfang was also drenched in sweat, so she immediately responded, "We won't take too long to bathe. Since we have the chance, let's clean ourselves a bit. It’s likely that we won’t find another river to wash in on our journey ahead." 0
 
Luqiu Yanfeng stopped speaking and quickly stripped off her clothes, diving into the river to bathe. 0
 
Zihongfang also took off her clothes and entered the water, starting to wash herself. 0
 
The girl accompanying them hesitated for a moment but then entered the water fully clothed, swimming alone. 0
 
The three of them enjoyed washing in the river, feeling quite refreshed. However, their joy was short-lived. 0
 
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and ominous clouds began to gather as if a storm was approaching. 0
 
The girl immediately climbed ashore, and Zihongfang hurriedly ran to the bank to get dressed. However, they noticed that Luqiu Yanfeng had not come ashore. The two girls looked around but could no longer see Luqiu Yanfeng! 0
 
Panic set in for the two girls as they quickly re-entered the water to search for her. 0
 
But no matter how hard they looked, they could not find any trace of Luqiu Yanfeng. 0
 
Determined not to lose someone they had finally found, Zihongfang steeled herself and dove back into the water, swimming further out. 0
 
Yet she still couldn't find any sign of Luqiu Yanfeng on the surface of the river. Zihongfang had no choice but to widen her search area. Eventually, she decided to swim down to the riverbed in hopes of discovering Luqiu Yanfeng's whereabouts there. 0
 
 
Because Zihongfang's hometown is in the water town, her underwater skills are top-notch. Now that she has become a Disciple of the Guardian Realm, her underwater abilities have improved even further. 0
 
She swam all the way to the bottom of the river, reaching a depth of three hundred meters, when she finally discovered Luqiu Yanfeng. She was tied up and lying on the ground, surrounded by several humanoid monsters. 0
 
To her shock, these creatures had no mouths! Zihongfang searched carefully and realized that their mouths were located on their hands, with one mouth on each hand. 0
 
Zihongfang immediately dove into a pit at the riverbed, nervously observing the actions of those monsters. 0
 
She saw the monsters pointing at Luqiu Yanfeng and then groping her body indiscriminately, causing Luqiu Yanfeng to scream in terror. 0
 
The monsters burst into laughter, which only fueled their interest in tormenting Luqiu Yanfeng further. 0
 
As the monsters continued their cruel exploration of her body, Luqiu Yanfeng began to scream in agony. Her body started to bleed from various wounds. 0
 
Zihongfang watched helplessly as Luqiu Yanfeng suffered. 0
 
At that moment, a gigantic monster emerged from the riverbed. With a gentle press of its hand, it trapped Luqiu Yanfeng in a small space. 0
 
Luqiu Yanfeng became even more panicked, her cries growing more intense. However, the monsters ignored her and after the giant monster angrily reprimanded those surrounding Luqiu Yanfeng, it led them away quickly in another direction. 0
 
Seeing this opportunity, Zihongfang swam out of the pit and approached Luqiu Yanfeng. 0
 
Upon seeing Zihongfang swimming toward her, Luqiu Yanfeng was immediately moved to tears. 0
 
 
As Zihongfang gradually approached, Lu Qiu Yan Feng shouted loudly, "They have gone to catch people in other places. You must save me immediately; I can no longer move at all." 0
 
Seeing Lu Qiu Yan Feng in such a panic and unable to move, Zihongfang assessed the situation and pushed hard against the small space surrounding Lu Qiu Yan Feng, but the space did not budge. 0
 
Desperate, Zihongfang made another assessment and realized that the only way to rescue Lu Qiu Yan Feng was to dig a passage from the bottom of the space encasing her. 0
 
Time was of the essence; those monsters could return at any moment. 0
 
Zihongfang immediately began digging downwards. She was very clever and used Origin Energy in a localized area, striking directly at the stones below to clear a one-meter-wide passage that extended forward. 0
 
Lu Qiu Yan Feng was anxiously watching Zihongfang's every move, repeatedly murmuring, "Hurry up, hurry up; they will be back soon." 0
 
Zihongfang had never seen Lu Qiu Yan Feng so frantic. 0
 
However, there was no time for Zihongfang to analyze Lu Qiu Yan Feng's state of mind; she was racing against time! 0
 
Never before had Zihongfang worked so desperately. She exerted all her strength, quickly opening a small trench at the bottom of the Riverbed. She noticed that there were no other obstacles forming during the excavation of this trench. It seemed that the monsters were not keeping a strict watch over Lu Qiu Yan Feng. 0
 
To them, Lu Qiu Yan Feng was already a dead fish; there was no chance of any unexpected developments since she had completely lost her freedom of movement. 0
 
However, the monsters had forgotten that Lu Qiu Yan Feng had come out with friends and were unaware that her companions included disciples from the Guardian Realm. 0
