“What’s the matter?”
“It’s the Yu Family.” Yu Hong stepped forward. Her wounds had healed significantly on the way back thanks to the elixirs she got from Xuan Yuanyu. She explained everything that happened to the Yu Family in detail. The radish’s leaves got cut off while it was trying to protect her, causing it to return to its true form. That was how everyone found out what it really was.
“You’re saying that the patriarch of the Yu Family suddenly disappeared? And he also brought all those Traveling Immortal elders with him?” Lonemoon frowned as he repeated what she said.
Yu Hong nodded.
Yi Qing’s expression darkened. “The Yu Family is the oldest out of all four aristocratic families. Could it be that they really practise mystic arts that people don’t know about so that they can escape right before Master’s eyes?”
“They didn’t run away on their own,” Shen Ying, who had been lying on the table, suddenly interrupted. “Someone took them away.”
“Took them away?” Lonemoon hesitated. “You mean somebody saved them. Who?”
“I don’t know.” She lay her head back down on the table. “That person didn’t appear.”
Everybody’s expressions darkened. The Yu Family seemed to have many hidden cards… Lonemoon scanned the room and studied each of his disciples. Lowering his voice, he said, “Everybody, pack up your things tonight. We’ll return to Invincible Sect tomorrow.”
Shen Ying’s rampage tonight had been too extreme. In one move, she not only seriously injured five Traveling Immortals from the Yu Family, she even injured the patriarch of the Yu Family. They did not just suffer from torn ligaments and minor fractures—all their bones were nearly shattered. If word got out in the Upper Azure World, there might only be three aristocratic families left. Although they still don’t know who exactly had saved the Yu Family, it seemed like the Yu Family had something up their sleeves.
Yu Hong’s and the other sister’s cultivation levels were still low after all, and Yin Tian Town was someone else’s territory. It would be much safer for them to return to the Demon Realm.
Wait…
Did I forget something? Ah, whatever. It’s not important.
The unimportant people from the Soul Chasing Tower that got beaten: “…”Damn it!

Three days later…
“Hey, hey, hey. Have you heard? The Traveling Immortals from the Yu Family got beaten up by the Invincible Sect’s Master. Even the Yu Family’s patriarch went missing.”
“What kind of aristocratic family doesn’t have Traveling Immortals? I think the Yu Family is in a mess right now. It looks like one out of four of the aristocratic families won’t be around anymore.”
“Is that right? Where exactly is this Invincible Sect from? How are they able to deal such a blow to the Yu Family?”
“I heard that they have a hidden Great Immortal. No one knows exactly where they are based, but their disciples are either Sword Cultivators or Body Cultivators.”
“Are they that powerful? What did the Yu Family do to offend this sect?”
“I heard the Yu Family’s patriarch captured two disciples of Invincible Sect and even seriously injured them. He refused to let them go no matter how much the patriarchs of the Yin Family and Xuan Yuan Family tried to persuade them. That’s why the sect master of Invincible Sect was angered and took care of the Yu Family.”
“Is this sect master really that powerful? What kind of person is this?”
“I heard that the sect master’s surname is Yi… and her first name is a single word, Qing! Have you heard about what happened with the Xuan Yuan Family a year ago? Sect Master Yi and her subordinate, Lonemoon, were responsible for that too.”
“Oh, it’s them!”
Shen Ying: “…”
Yi Qing: “…”
Lonemoon: Hmph, I told you not to use other people’s names.
Within three days, Invincible Sect became famous throughout the Upper Azure World. They were known for housing a hidden Great Immortal and were now regarded as a top-class immortal sect. Slowly, their ranking creeped above the other immortal sects—they were ranked almost equal with the aristocratic families.
The story of the mysterious sect master ‘Yi Qing’ and how she defeated the Yu Family spread throughout the Upper Azure World, shocking everyone. The different families and sects were also familiar with Lonemoon who had been visiting them over the past few days to clinch deals. Each time people talked about the Invincible Sect, Lonemoon’s name would come up as the businessman-cum-Soul Formation Supremacy who was much better at doing business than the Yin Family. Even the nine disciples of Invincible Sect became famous overnight after Si Yu won the competition amongst the sects. Everyone saw them as the rising stars of the younger generation of cultivators.
Yet despite all this… no one mentioned Shen Ying!
Not a word, a letter, or even a punctuation was dedicated to her!
-_-|||
No one knew who Shen Ying was. Even the Yin Family, who had put up the prohibition signs a year ago, had forgotten her. She could not even get famous for trying to eat a free meal.
