ACER-Chapter 24: Be Good, Call Me Eldest Senior Brother

When the sword from Lingxiao Sect slashed over, of course Di Yange wouldn’t just wait to be captured.

After all, she had already reached a point of near certain death ahead, so why would she let a few bratty kids beat her? With their late Foundation Establishment level, killing her was far too difficult.

And it’s not like she’s a masochist.

Thus, she slightly raised her hand, her gaze extremely cold.

The people outside the light screen were a bit angry, such an emotionless gaze was the real Di Yange.

Those two kids were doomed.

Just as Di Yange was about to give those two brats a harsh lesson and teach them not to always bully honest people, suddenly a cyan figure stood in front of her.

Xiao Jue?

Did this guy take the wrong medicine?

He was actually helping her?

Actually, the two of them weren’t that friendly.

Di Yange withdrew her hand and looked at both sides fighting.

Both sides could now use their cultivation. One in peak Foundation Establishment against two in late Foundation Establishment. Logically, Xiao Jue should win.

Generally, it would take five late Foundation Establishment cultivators to defeat one in peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. But Lingxiao Sect was wealthy, with endless pills and magical artifacts, while Xiao Jue had nothing, plus a somewhat uncooperative sword.

So although the fight was intense, Xiao Jue was clearly at a disadvantage.

Di Yange also thought that they were fighting too inefficiently. Wasn’t one fireball enough? If one didn’t work, then two, guaranteed to blast their skin off.

But she had to admit, the fight was quite good to watch.

Especially Xiao Jue, he clearly hadn’t wasted his time in Jianxin Sect. His sword techniques were more impressive than martial arts films.

While Di Yange was watching, the others who had been hiding far away suddenly shouted and rushed toward the spirit plants outside.

Thus, aside from the three fighting, the unconscious Zi Yue, and Di Yange watching, everyone else who was alive ran to gather spirit plants.

Xiao Jue and the two from Lingxiao Sect grew increasingly anxious, because any one of those spirit plants were good things that would be fought over outside.

But they could only watch others gather them, their eyes turning red with urgency.

While fighting, Xiao Jue angrily shouted, “Damn it, what are you standing there for? Go gather the spirit plants!”

Di Yange stood with her arms crossed, carefree, her tone teasing.

“Be good, call me Eldest Senior Brother. Then Eldest Senior Brother will help you gather them.”

Xiao Jue regretted helping her earlier, he should have let her get beaten to death.

But seeing how fast others were gathering, he could only shout angrily, “Eldest Senior Brother, hurry and gather the spirit plants.”

“Fine, Junior Brother. Eldest Senior Brother will go gather them for you.”

Di Yange waved her hand, and that entire patch of spirit plants, including the soil, went straight into her storage pouch.

This storage pouch was something she made herself, with a fairly large space inside.

Those gathering plants had already gone red-eyed. Seeing a large patch suddenly disappear, they turned anxious and greedy toward Di Yange, the culprit.

“Kid, hand over the spirit plants and we’ll spare your life. These belong to everyone, you can’t monopolize them alone.”

“Kid, you’re from Jianxin Sect, right? Be smart and hand them over, or don’t blame my master for coming to Jianxin Sect personally. When that happens, those old fools will pay with their lives.”

“Hmph, those old fools from Jianxin Sect dare oppose our Huoxin Sect? Kid, if you don’t hand them over, my master will wipe out your entire sect, and you… I’ll have your whole family cut into pieces.”

Though these people were young, they were already very familiar with the rules of this world, the strong rule. Jianxin Sect, being at the bottom of third-rate sects, naturally meant they could do as they pleased.

As for Di Yange’s method of collecting plants, they didn’t take it seriously at all.

In their eyes, she was just a kid. Even if she was in peak Foundation Establishment, so what?

Did she have more experience than them? Longer cultivation time? They figured a scare would make her obediently hand over everything.

Di Yange frowned, displeased at these rookies.

She flipped her hand and released a fireball.

The moment they saw it, everyone burst into laughter.

“Kid, is that all you’ve got? You think a tiny fireball can deal with us? Let me tell you, we’re not in Qi Refining Stage, we won’t be scared your little fireball.”

“Haha, that’s hilarious. I’m standing right here, go on, throw it. If I move even a step because of that pathetic fireball, I lose.”

“Haha…”

Soon, they stopped laughing.

Because the fireball suddenly grew larger and larger, visibly expanding in a rapid rate.

The problem is that they could even sense the threat of death from that fireball.

This… was this thing still a fireball?

It was far too large, far too strange.

Especially the one who had just mocked her about throwing the fireball at him, his legs began trembling.

“Quick, attack together! He’s alone. That fireball can only hit one of us. As long as we work together, we can defeat him!”

Although he said that, no one stepped forward to die. Instead, everyone retreated in unison, only to find that there was nowhere left to retreat.

Until the fireball grew larger and larger, to the point that one could feel scorching heat just from standing there.

“Kid, I’m from Taohua Sect. If you dare touch me, you’re dead.”

A wicked smile appeared on Di Yange’s youthful face, “I hate threats the most.”

As she spoke, with a boom, the giant fireball exploded on the spot.

It gave no one time to react at all.

Everyone was blasted, their blood surging, ears ringing, vision spinning. They sat down cross-legged to recover for quite a while before stabilizing.

“Not good, that kid went in first. Hurry, chase him. Don’t let him get the treasures first.”

They rushed in urgently, completely ignoring the large words on the door:

‘Those who enter will die.’

Meanwhile, Di Yange had already thrown Zi Yue to her sect members at the moment of the explosion, and she dragged Xiao Jue away.

The two ran for a while until no one else could be seen, then stopped.

Di Yange looked at Xiao Jue, his face blackened from the blast, and couldn’t help curling her lips. Then she said seriously, “Junior Brother, the road ahead is full of danger. No matter what happens, you must live well.”

This was the first time that Xiao Jue had seen such a serious expression from her.

Her skin was pale like porcelain, and when those black crystal-like eyes looked at him earnestly, his heart skipped a beat.

Was she concerned about him?

All along, what Xiao Jue envied most was her wholehearted brotherly affection for Luo Ziyin. Does she now regard him as a brother too?

He asked with anticipation, “You… what do you mean?”

Di Yange’s tone suddenly shifted, infuriating as always, blinking innocently, “Nothing. If you die, I’ll have one less opponent. Life would lose a lot of fun.”

Xiao Jue was immediately angered again, “Even if you die, I won’t.”

Di Yange smiled, “Remember what you said.”

“What do you mean?” Xiao Jue still held a bit of hope in his heart.

“Stop talking nonsense. Do you still want those useless plants?”

As she spoke, she took out her tattered storage pouch, “This is for you. After you use it, you can throw it away. I don’t need it anymore anyway.”

“Are you the one who made this trash? It really is crude.”

Even so, Xiao Jue still put the tattered pouch into his robes.

Actually, he admired her a little. At his current level, he couldn’t make a storage pouch.

When he made a better one in the future, he would throw this away.

Little did he know, this tattered storage pouch would accompany him for countless years to come.
