This is the Sect Protective Grand Formation, a massive Magic Formation that is only activated under extreme circumstances.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

What's going on?

Has something happened to the sect?

"It's us, Master! What happened to you?"

[Father, it's me, Zhenzhen!] The group called out towards the mountains.

Once Ye Ruheng recognized the newcomers and confirmed that no one was following them, he breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily dispelled the Sect Protective Grand Formation, and stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Hui'er, Yao'er, Chuan'er, you've finally returned with Zhenzhen!"

Xie Jingshu rushed over excitedly and hugged Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, you're finally back! Mother missed you so much!"

"Mommy, Zhenzhen missed you too." The Little Glutinous Rice Ball pouted and kissed Xie Jingshu on the cheek. The mother and daughter smiled at each other, the scene was very touching.

Warm

Xie Jingshu couldn't help but exclaim, "My Zhenzhen has grown so much again!"

Unbeknownst to them, Ye Zhenzhen and the others had been away from the sect for over a month. During this time, the entire Cultivation World was engulfed in bloodshed and chaos. A large group of Devil Race suddenly stormed into the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion, stealing the Thunderbolt Chain, one of the Five Divine Artifacts, and annihilating the entire sect.

"It's those so-called Devil Race again!" Ye Qinghui clenched his fist angrily.

In fact, everyone knows that the mastermind behind this incident is Immortal Venerable Shen, who secretly colluded with the Devil Race to steal the divine artifact. However, no one can find any evidence to identify him.

Previously, Cloudsky Sect was gradually declining, and Immortal Venerable Shen mistakenly thought that Cloudsky Sect was the easiest to target, so his first plan was to steal the Seven-Colored Heaven-Mending Stone from the Cloudsky Sect. However, he did not expect that Ye Ruheng's cultivation had reached the Mahayana Realm, making him more difficult to deal with than the sect leaders of the other sects. Moreover, the sect was heavily guarded, so he took action against the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion first after the Immortal Sects Grand Tournament.

Recently, various sects have discovered that Devil Race spies have been appearing in the vicinity from time to time, causing widespread fear. Ye Ruheng is worried that Immortal Venerable Shen may collude with the Devil Race again to plot against the Cloudsky Sect, so he has ordered his disciples to be on high alert and set up Sect Protective Grand Formation to block outsiders at any time. That is why Ye Qinghui and his group were mistakenly stopped outside the array just now.

Before the group could even discuss their experiences and gains from the Divine Descent, Ye Rufeng and Ye Qingyun approached, eager to find out what treasures they had discovered.

They had thought the two had perished in the Divine Descent and would never return, but now, seeing them safely back at the sect, looking joyful and having gained so much, both of them couldn't hide their disappointment.

[Since everyone wants to know what treasures we found in the Divine Descent, then let me show you.] Ye Zhenzhen stuck out her little tongue, took out a round metal artifact, and pressed the button on it.

A golden light enveloped them, and the group vanished instantly before Ye Rufeng's eyes.

Ye Rufeng:?

He immediately used his Divine Sense to carefully search the surrounding area for dozens of kilometers, but he couldn't detect any trace of Ye Qinghui and the others. Where are they? What's going on? What kind of illusion is this?

Actually, this wasn't an illusion at all; it was clearly the Time-Space Converter at work. Time and space shifted rapidly, and in an instant, Ye Zhenzhen brought her Parents and fellow disciples to the Secret Realm in the Back Mountain.

Seeing that there were no other people around, Ye Qinghui recounted to his master and mistress the various events that had occurred during the Divine Descent. Ye Zhenzhen, on the other hand, wobbled and ran towards her Spirit Fish Pond.

It's been over a month since I last saw them; the Spirit Fish must have grown bigger and fatter by now.

The scene before her almost killed her.

Two plump figures, resembling small hills, sat on the edge of the Spirit Fish Pond, enjoying the Spirit Fish with relish. The fish bones beside them were piled up as high as several people.

"You..."

Hearing a noise behind them, the two figures turned around in unison. When they saw who it was, they were so frightened that their mouths gaped open, and the Spirit Fish in their mouths lost its flavor and slid straight to the ground.

"Smack!"

The Little Glutinous Rice Ball, seeing that Xiao Ba and Taowu had grown much fatter, with round bellies and overflowing with Spiritual Qi energy, was furious and rushed over to give the two of them a good beating.

"How dare you steal my Spirit Fish!" Ye Zhenzhen, who usually couldn't even speak two words in a coherent way, actually uttered eight words in a row in her rage.

She had originally planned to take Xiao Ba as her contracted beast, thinking she had gotten a cheap fishpond guard for free. However, she never expected that she would invite a wolf into her house. This guy colluded with Taowu and ate most of the large Spirit Fish in the Spirit Fish Pond in just over a month!

The once bustling Spirit Fish Pond is now deserted, with only a few Spirit Fish swimming around. If they had returned a few days later, the entire Spirit Fish Pond would probably have been eaten clean.

Who benefited from the Spirit Fish Pond that she had painstakingly cultivated for over three months? Ye Zhenzhen wanted nothing more than to smash the heads of those two gluttons.

She decisively pulled Qiongqi and Haki Mi out of the Heaven and Earth Pearl, [Quick! Help me teach these two scoundrels who stole the Spirit Fish a lesson!]

Qiongqi spread its enormous wings and sent the two creatures completely disoriented. Although Haki Mi was weak in physical strength, its claws were extremely sharp. In the blink of an eye, it left countless scratches on the two creatures, causing them to howl in pain.

Knowing they were in the wrong, the two could only obediently accept their punishment.

Ye Qingchuan helped Ye Zhenzhen carefully examine the remaining large Spirit Fish. Fortunately, although the two of them had eaten many fish, they hadn't eaten the female fish whose bellies were full of roe. When spring arrives and the flowers bloom, these female fish will soon give birth to countless fry, making the fishpond lively again.

[From now on, the fish in this Spirit Fish Pond can only be more, not less. If even one is missing, I'll feed you to the fish.] Ye Zhenzhen pointed at Xiao Ba and Taowu with a fierce look, "See if you dare to steal any more fish!"

Xiao Ba and Taowu nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, we won't eat it anymore."

We'll eat them after the new Spirit Fish are born.

Qiongqi and Haki Mi were also attracted by the Spirit Fish in the fishpond. Smelling the delicious aroma and rich Spiritual Qi of the Spirit Fish, they couldn't help but drool. These Spirit Fish looked really delicious.
