But then they saw that the disciples of the Nine Nether Gate were on the other side of the valley.

Yun Dong'er and Qu Feng were both present.

At this moment, the couple gazed at each other tenderly, occasionally whispering sweet nothings, their intimacy oblivious to everyone else, as if their own private world existed where no one else could intrude.

The Nine Nether Gate clearly had no intention of letting Foundation Establishment Realm disciples in for training; all of the dozen or so people were at the Golden Core Stage Cultivation, including the two prodigies, Yun Dong'er and Qu Feng.

Such a display would surely have caused other Sect to retreat, but Zhu Min merely frowned and did not leave.

The Sect Master of the Nine Nether Gate's Direct Disciple bowed politely, "Everyone, this Spirit Beast guarding the treasure was first discovered by our Nine Nether Gate. Please leave now."

Li Zi somewhat angry.

Does this thing have an owner? Whoever finds it gets a share. Judging from his tone, is he trying to drive their Spirit Sword Sect away?

Zhu Min said coldly, "The spiritual treasures in the Secret Realm are for everyone who sees them; we clearly arrived at the same time."

The male disciple opposite him sighed, "Since that's the case, we have no choice but to follow the rules and have a match?"

"Come!"

Zhu Min placed the giant sword heavily on the ground.

Ji Zheng stretched his neck. "Junior sister, I'll take the lead this time. It's been so long since I've had a serious match; my bones are practically rusting."

This is a battlefield for Golden Core Stage experts; Li Zi Refining stage cultivator, will not participate.

She silently took a few steps back, withdrew from the battlefield, and quietly recovered her Spiritual Power.

On the Spirit Sword Sect's side, four Golden Core Stage Cultivator made their move, dividing into four battlefields where the fighting was evenly matched.

[System, do these disciples of the Nine Nether Gate have any gossip to share? Since we're just idling around anyway, we might as well eat some gossip while we're recovering our Spiritual Power.]

Li Zi's thoughts clearly reached the ears of all the powerful figures.

The disciples of the Nine Nether Gate were instantly shaken.

What, have we gotten involved with them in this whole mess?

The system hadn't even said anything yet, but it was already laughing its head off.

[There really are. Take Song Zhen, the Direct Disciple of the Nine Nether Gate Master, for example. His reason for entering the Secret Realm this time was quite ridiculous: he had a boil on his butt, and he had heard through the grapevine that Dragon-Slaying Bee's poisonous stinger could cure it, so he came into the Secret Realm to find out.]

Li Zi's gaze drifted towards Song Zhen's buttocks.

The other disciples also looked at Song Zhen's buttocks.

Ji Zheng glanced at his buttocks, then kicked it towards them.

Song Zhen quickly dodged and started cursing, "Ji Zheng! You little brat, you have no sportsmanship! I'm decades older than you, don't you know how to respect your elders!"

Ji Zheng, "Maybe we shouldn't fight anymore. You can defend against my sword, but you can't defend against my feet."

With one kick that popped the boil, Song Zhen's fighting power was practically zero.

Li Zi asked: [Abscesses are easy to treat; just drain the pus. Is it necessary to use the stinger of Dragon-Slaying Bee? And won't using a bee stinger cause poisoning in the buttocks?]

The system chuckled, "[It was one of his junior brothers who deliberately tricked him. If he really used Dragon-Slaying Bee's poisonous stinger, his buttocks would swell up like two peaches.]"

Puff!

Laughter, rising and falling, drifted from all around.

Just imagining Song Zhen's butt swollen like a peach is hilarious!

This senior brother has always been extremely authoritative in the Sect, and his junior brothers respect and love him. He is truly the most deserving Eldest Senior Brother.

After this incident, his authority as the Eldest Senior Brother will be completely destroyed.

Song Zhen suddenly stopped attacking.

He gripped the sword, trembling all over, his face flushed with anger.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at where his Sect disciples were, and with a strong voice, he shouted, "Ma Yangze, how dare you mock me!"

He stopped fighting and charged straight at the disciple named Ma Yangze.

The disciple was terrified and fled in panic, crying, "Senior brother, I really didn't mean it! Spare me!"

Li Zi stood up, leaned against a tree to catch her breath, and even took out some pastries to enjoy.

"Hahaha, has Song Zhen realized he's been tricked? That's hilarious!"

[There's more juicy gossip. Look at that man from the Nine Nether Gate with the gold belt. His clothes are made of top-quality Heavenly Cloud Brocade, and his belt is adorned with gold thread. He has handsome features and looks every bit the rich kid. But in reality, his family is very poor, and the clothes he wears are all scraps he's scraped together. His shirt underneath already has seven or eight holes in it.]

The man who was holding a folding fan and trying to look dashing instantly froze with a smile.

No, how did we get to talking about him?

A burly-looking man patted him on the shoulder.

"Junior brother, I had no idea your family was so poor. No wonder you've never invited me to your home in all these years. Do you find it too embarrassing?"

The man gripped his folding fan, and his face turned extremely ugly as he met the pitying gazes of the crowd.

"Nonsense! I'm a second-generation immortal; both my parents are Immortal Cultivation. How could we possibly be poor!"

As he spoke, he tugged at his fine robes, concealing the inner garment beneath which had been patched countless times.

The burly-looking man put an arm around his shoulder and said, "Don't feel embarrassed. Whether you're rich or poor, you're still my brother."

[Host, did you see the man he's hugging? He has stubble on his face. His name is Miao Kuang. They've been brothers for many years. Miao Kuang's wife has been with his good brother for a long time, but he doesn't know it yet.]

This is really explosive news!

Miao Kuang and his wife were a couple that everyone in the Sect envied.

The woman was charming and the man was rugged; the two standing together created a striking visual contrast reminiscent of a beauty and a beast.
