I, the Saintess of the Profound Moon Society, Am Being Asked to Do This?

"Wow, hahaha! This maiden has the purity of a young girl and the charm of a mature woman. Even a cultivator with a steadfast Dao heart like mine can barely control myself!"

"Brother, I advise you to get a grip, or you'll be missing something down there later!"

The male cultivators' bodies trembled, their legs clamping together, terrified of being castrated.

"Brother, what's this woman's background?"

"She's one of the Mysterious Moon Society's Ten Great Saintesses, and the Mysterious Moon Society is one of the Southern Wilderness Domain's three super sects. Do you dare to provoke such a terrifying force?"

Zhuo Dongxuan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, enjoying the awe she inspired in the crowd.

However, her purpose here wasn't that; it was the Dao Fruits, of which only three remained.

Continuing her elegant cat-like walk, which appeared slow but covered six miles in less than five minutes, she moved forward.

Just as she was about to proceed, a white light flashed before her eyes. The light then vanished, replaced by the young man who had been stealing the spotlight earlier.

Hahaha!

It seems this young man named Xiao Yao is scared!

Feeling incredibly smug, she was about to part her rosy lips when she heard the young man's hearty voice, "You've come at the perfect time."

Huh?

Zhuo Dongxuan looked Xiao Yao up and down carefully. Besides being handsome enough to capture her heart, he looked nothing like she remembered.

Meanwhile, the surrounding cultivators began to murmur amongst themselves.

"This kid knows a Mysterious Moon Society Saintess?"

"Damn it! This young man has great fortune with women! Why don't I have such luck?"

"But judging by the Saintess's surprised and bewildered expression, she doesn't seem to know him."

"Could he be one of those socially bold types who just strikes up a conversation? That's a huge taboo for a Mysterious Moon Society Saintess!"

Everyone eagerly anticipated seeing Xiao Yao get beaten up by Zhuo Dongxuan.

However, that scene didn't happen. Instead, Xiao Yao grabbed Zhuo Dongxuan's delicate hand and unhurriedly moved towards the Dao Fruit Tree.

The Mysterious Moon Society cultivators behind Zhuo Dongxuan were left bewildered in the wind, completely clueless as to what was happening.

"Let go of this Saintess's hand!" Zhuo Dongxuan, having snapped back to reality, shouted loudly, no longer acting like a lady.

Xiao Yao paused, wondering if Society Mistress Song hadn't informed the Mysterious Moon Society cultivators who entered the Giant Spirit Secret Realm.

Outside the Giant Spirit Secret Realm.

Pagoda Master Sun, Society Mistress Song, and Pavilion Master Li, the highest leaders of the Southern Wilderness Domain's three super sects, were currently meditating and cultivating on the spot, not daring to leave.

The reason, of course, was that Xiao Yao's Master—the Lotus Sword Emperor Dongfang Xuetong—was standing there, gazing at the entrance to the Giant Spirit Secret Realm.

Her stern expression made the three of them tremble, afraid that if they stood up and took a single step, they would be annihilated by a mere glance.

Suddenly, Society Mistress Song remembered something and said, "Uh! I think I forgot to tell our Society's cultivators who entered the Giant Spirit Secret Realm about that young man."

"However, he has that token. As long as he takes it out, the Mysterious Moon Society cultivators should understand!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Society Mistress Song felt a terrifying pressure she hadn't felt before. She quickly realized it was coming from behind her.

And the only one who could exert such pressure on her was clearly the Lotus Sword Emperor.

"Although This Emperor believes my disciple will be fine, if anything happens, the Mysterious Moon Society will cease to exist."

Dongfang Xuetong's voice was exceptionally cold, clearly not joking.

Society Mistress Song's delicate body trembled violently, and she inwardly prayed, Young man, please don't let anything happen to you!

Giant Spirit Secret Realm, near the Dao Fruit Tree.

Xiao Yao released Zhuo Dongxuan's soft, boneless, delicate hand. Then, without further ado, he directly took out the token Society Mistress Song had given him.

Zhuo Dongxuan glanced at it and immediately fell to her knees with a thud, clasping her hands in a salute: "Disciple Zhuo Dongxuan greets the Society Mistress!"

Following that, the Mysterious Moon Society cultivators behind her also clearly saw the token.

They then all knelt down simultaneously. The sounds of thuds echoed one after another, and a louder, more unified, and powerful cry erupted.

"Disciples greet the Society Mistress!"

Like the other cultivators, Xiao Xueyu and the other members of the Xiao Family were also filled with confusion, not understanding when Xiao Yao had become the Society Mistress of the Mysterious Moon Society.

Xiao Yao said very solemnly, "Everyone from the Mysterious Moon Society, please rise!"

Then Zhuo Dongxuan and the other Mysterious Moon Society cultivators stood up. They all looked at Xiao Yao with strange expressions.

Why would the Society Mistress give this token, which symbolized her identity, to this young man?

Zhuo Dongxuan hadn't heard her Master mention anything about it before entering the Giant Spirit Secret Realm. She only knew that her Master had been keeping an eye on the Shocking Heaven Tower's Pagoda Master and the Tai Chi Pavilion's Pavilion Master.

Could it be that her Master and the other two had perished, and this young man had taken advantage of the situation?

"Achoo!" Outside the Giant Spirit Secret Realm, Society Mistress Song sneezed and then muttered, "Who's cursing this Society Mistress?"

"What are you thinking! Cursing someone of our strength, the Southern Wilderness Domain alone could do it 24 hours a day without stopping. It must be a problem with your body. Do you want this Pavilion Master to give you a physical examination?" Pavilion Master Li squinted, a slight smirk on his lips, like a pervert.

Society Mistress Song shot Pavilion Master Li a glare, having seen through his petty thoughts. "Even if my body is worse off than yours, an old man about to be buried, it's still better than you. I don't need you to examine me," she said coldly.

"How did you obtain this token?" Zhuo Dongxuan couldn't suppress her inner doubts and asked.

Xiao Yao calmly shrugged his shoulders. "Society Mistress Song gave it to me."

Zhuo Dongxuan felt like her Master had gone mad.

If this thing were to be given away, it should only be given to a strong expert of the Emperor Tier, not a weakling of the Sea Opening Realm!

But she didn't understand the full situation, so she could only temporarily obey Xiao Yao. Once they were out, she would definitely question her Master clearly.

"What do you want us to do?"

Outside of Zhuo Dongxuan's Spiritual Sense, within a ten-mile radius of the Dao Fruit Tree, five thousand cultivators had already gathered, including nearly a hundred cultivators of the Sea Opening Realm.

If she wanted to monopolize the Dao Fruit Tree, even with the disciples of the Mysterious Moon Society behind her, she couldn't achieve it.

Even cooperating with the young man and the people behind him, she felt it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

However, relying on the name of the Mysterious Moon Society, a safe retreat would be as easy as flipping one's hand.

Therefore, she believed the young man definitely intended to do this.

"You only need to do one thing: protect yourselves and my clansmen. Aside from that, even if the sky were to fall and the earth were to crack, it would have nothing to do with you," Xiao Yao said very solemnly.

Zhuo Dongxuan froze on the spot. She had already guessed that Xiao Yao intended to face the five thousand, or even more, surrounding cultivators alone.

Was this young man insane?

He was only at the peak of the second level of the Sea Opening Realm!

Even with my cultivation at the peak of the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm, I wouldn't dare to do this.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go protect my clansmen under the Dao Fruit Tree."

Xiao Yao's shout brought Zhuo Dongxuan back to her senses. She stared blankly at Xiao Yao and said, "Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Of course, I'm afraid! But these people aren't qualified enough!" Xiao Yao's handsome face was filled with confidence.

But in Zhuo Dongxuan's eyes, it was just arrogance and conceit, completely unaware of the immensity of the world.

Forget it!

Since the other party had said so, if she tried to persuade him again, it would only be self-inflicted humiliation.

"Mysterious Moon Society cultivators, do as he says."

Tap, tap, tap!

Tap, tap, tap!

Tap, tap, tap!

Soon, the 43 cultivators of the Mysterious Moon Society had run to the base of the Dao Fruit Tree, protecting Xiao Yao's clansmen from all angles without any blind spots.

"They've taken their positions! Next..."

Before Zhuo Dongxuan could finish speaking, Xiao Yao abruptly interrupted, "You go too. What are you doing standing here?"

"Me too?" Zhuo Dongxuan pointed at herself with her slender finger. She truly hadn't expected Xiao Yao to be so brazen.

However, this was not the most brazen. She heard Xiao Yao nod. "That's right! You being here affects my performance."

Damn it!

Ever since she stepped onto the path of cultivation, it had always been others affecting her performance, never her affecting others' performance.

Zhuo Dongxuan, whose self-esteem had been wounded by being looked down upon, said indignantly, "As the Saintess of the Mysterious Moon Society, you want me to do this? I won't! Hmph!"

Xiao Yao directly took out the token. "This is an order. If you continue to throw a tantrum, I'll throw you over directly. You wouldn't want to be exposed in front of so many people, would you!"

"Mmph! You're bullying me!" Zhuo Dongxuan pouted angrily, her cheeks puffed up like buns, making her look a bit cute.

But Xiao Yao showed no pity. He said coldly, "I'll count to three. After three seconds, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"3!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Dongxuan quickly scurried away, clearly having faked her earlier flirtatiousness.

Taking advantage of this, Xiao Yao raised the Saint Artifact, the Taiyan Sword, and used his Mana to amplify his voice, shouting, "I know you all desire the Dao Fruit, or even the Dao Fruit Tree. But now, unless you step over my dead body, you will get nothing."

The cultivators were stunned!

No one had expected this young man to actually dare to speak like that!

There were already over five thousand cultivators present; a single spit could drown the young man.

Zhuo Dongxuan looked at Xiao Yao as if he were already dead.

This young man's talent was indeed outstanding, but he lacked tact, or rather, the ability to adapt. What a pity for such a genius!

Just then, she heard slow footsteps. Turning her head, she saw it was the young man's clansmen.

Their bearing was slightly inferior to hers. She heard one of them speak, "Saintess, I beg you to save Xiao Yao later."

"It's not that I don't want to save him, but with the attacks of so many people, it's impossible to save him," Zhuo Dongxuan said with a distressed expression.

In a cultivation world, sheer numbers are indeed the most useless tactic, but that also depends on the specific situation.

When there isn't a massive gap in cultivation realms, then a tactic of overwhelming numbers becomes very useful.

Xiao Xueyu's expression turned grim. She knew this was asking too much, but seeing such a genius in Xiao Yao, she truly didn't want him to die!

Ah!

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Shouts erupted from all directions.

Transcendent Realm cultivators, holding their "Li Ren" weapons, charged towards Xiao Yao.

Law Condensation Realm cultivators unleashed spells, attacking Xiao Yao.

The multicolored lights drew closer and closer to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Xueyu couldn't bear to watch and closed her eyes. To this day, she didn't understand why Xiao Yao was doing this.

Wasn't this the act of a fool seeking his own death?
