My Big Brother is Seeking Death Again

When Shi Xia returned to Yu Hua Sect this time, no one else knew except Chi Hou and Bi Hong. Bi Hong suggested that she should leave for the Dreamless Realm with the disciples of Yu Hua Sect by mixing with them as an outer disciple. The disciples are well-organised and she would be safer with them, so Shi Xia did not object. Bi Hong immediately took action and got a nameplate for her as an outer disciple from who knows where and followed her towards the place where the disciples of Yu Hua Sect were gathered.

When she arrived, the place in front of the sect’s entrance was already full of disciples, there were roughly hundreds of them. She was about to step forward when her arm was pulled by Bi Hong.

“Girl, do you really have to go?” Bi Hong frowned, his face was a bit torn between letting her go and not letting her go.

“Didn’t Chi Hou agree? Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

“Who’s worried about you?” He gave her a blank look before muttering hesitantly, “I mean …… are you really going to look for …… that ‘guy’?”

“You mean my oldest brother?”

Bi Hong let out a long sigh and said in a serious tone, “He is after all a Demon King, and you …… are different from him. He has disappeared for so many years, so why do you need to trouble yourself.”

Shi Xia smiled, “Bi Hong, why do you think that I am different from him?”

“I don’t know, I still don’t understand you. Although you are annoying and troublesome, and always complain to the Master against me.”

Who complains against whom?

“But ……” he finished in a roundabout way, “overall, you’re not a bad person.”

Thank you, kind sir!

“Bi Hong ……” Shi Xia raised her head and suddenly asked seriously, “Do you know about the Demon King?”

“……” Who wants to know about him?

“I know him!” She said seriously, “You know me, so you believe in me. The same goes for me, I also believe him. The way you believe in me, the same way I believe him. Whether you say he is evil or not, killing innocent people or not. I believe that my brother would never do such a thing.”

“Alas, girl.” Bi Hong sighed and said, “People change, not to mention the road to Immortal Cultivation is so long, time can change everything and everyone.”

“Others may change.” Shi Xia said word by word, “But my brother won’t!”

“……”

That’s her brother! Her only family. If in this world even her, his only sister, does not believe in him, then who else would believe him?

Bi Hong shook his head without further advice. Shi Xia waved goodbye to him, and flew to the place where the disciples were standing. According to the Bi Hong’s explanation, she has to go to the right most corner and hand her fake nameplate over. As she handed her nameplate, the nameplate turned into a transparent stone magic weapon. Less than a moment later, the stone lit up and slowly a “One” word emerged from the nameplate.

The man who was responsible for checking the nameplate froze for a moment, and seemed to be a little surprised. He looked up and down at her, before giving the nameplate back to her and saying loudly, “Xia Shi, outer disciple of Li Jian Peak, assigned to the first group, Nanyi Gua.” After that, he also kindly reminded her, “your group leader is the Jiang Wu Peak’s Senior Brother Yi Yaojun, hurry over there.”

The corners of Shi Xia’s mouth twitched, Nanyi Gua (Hard to hang)! What kind of odd name is this, can I change groups please?

“Senior Brother Li, is this the last person in our group?” A fifteen or sixteen year old teenager came over. He was very tall, with a boyish arrogant face. He looked her up and down with slanted eyes, his eyebrows wrinkled. Turning his head to the man who was checking Shi Xia’s nameplate, he said with a dissatisfied look, “How come she’s still a Foundation Establishment disciple? Brother Li, didn’t you say that the group only consists of the strongest disciples? How come even the Foundation Establishment Stage can be in the group?”

“This ……” the look on the man checking nameplates turned hesitant, “Senior Brother Yi …… this grouping system is based with the strength of each disciple recorded in the nameplate. How can I take the decision of who to enter or who to not?”

“Then this nameplate must be broken.” That teenager became more and more dissatisfied, “Or else how could a Foundation Establishment disciple be assigned to my group? No, I don’t want such a weak disciple in my group. Tell her to change to another group.”

“This ……” The man’s face turned gloomy, “but the disciple assigned by the nameplate …… can not change groups.”

“If the group can’t be changed, I don’t need many people in my group, how about that?” The teenager turned his head and aimed his dissatisfaction at Shi Xia this time, “Hey, Xia or something. You don’t need to go to the secret realm this time. I don’t want a weak chicken at the Foundation Establishment Stage in my group, you hear that?”

Why? The little kid, even though so young, his temper is quite wild ah. Looks spoiled at the first glance, “But I have to go.”

The young man coldly snorted, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you, I am going to go deeper into the Dreamless Realm this time. With your cultivation, you’ll die without even me knowing.”

“……” is the place that dangerous? She also wanted to find someone in the Secret Realm.

“As weak as a chicken, it’s useless for you to go anyway.” The teenager finished with a look of contempt.

The corners of Shi Xia’s mouth twitch. You are a chicken, your whole family is a chicken.

“Heed my words. You better behave and give up this time, and wait till you get another chance next time. Don’t insist on looking for death ……,” he tilted his head with a face of unbeatable arrogance, and words full of threatening meaning.

Yo ~ I also have a violent temper.

“Sorry, I was born to find death!”

“You ……” the teenager was furious and rolled up his sleeves as if he wanted to beat her right away.

“Yaojun!” A thick male voice came from the front, “Everyone is about to depart, why are you making a scene again?”

The teenager froze for a moment, a trace of panic flashed across his face. Glaring at her fiercely, he turned around and greeted the middle-aged man in front of him, “Father.”

Shi Xia also turned her head to look. The moment her eyes landed on the man, her teeth clenched immediately. The urge to find a hole and hide in it was so strong. The face was actually someone she was familiar with. In fact, she had met him a few years ago. It was none other than the Sect Leader of Yuhua Sect, Yuan Zhao. This arrogant, violent tempered brats is actually his son! It shouldn’t be known to anyone that she was going to the Dreamless Realm. But she was exposed even before she started her journey!

What to do, what to do? Shi Xia’s intestines were turning blue. She wasn’t angry with the teenager, but afraid of his father. If he recognized her, not only she wouldn’t be able to go to the Dreamless Realm, she is likely to be chased by all the people present ah!

“Why haven’t you left yet, haven’t all the people arrived?” Yuan Zhao asked.

“Father, something must be wrong with the nameplate.” Yi Yaojun said with an angry face, “Our group actually has a Foundation Establishment disciple in.”

“Foundation Establishment disciple?” Yuan Zhao also froze for a moment, “You delayed your departure because of this?”

“Father, traditionally, a group consists of only the disciples of the Golden Pill Stage. Won’t bringing a Foundation Establishment disciple drag us all behind? I am the leader of a group, I do not want to bring such a person.” Saying this, he pointed to Shi Xia at the back, “no matter what, I want her to change the group.”

Yuan Zhao sighed and looked behind him as he spoke, “Isn’t it just changing a single person? How big of a deal is it for you to be so ……”

“HI ~ Master Yuan.” Shi Xia weakly raised her paw and waved. Long time no see, is it too late to go back to Xiu Ling Peak now?

Yuan Zhao choked, he almost fell face planted on the ground. The look of disbelief was apparent in his face as he said with wide eyes, “when …… How ……” His face turned red to white and then purple before black.

I didn’t expect to be exposed on the first day, what luck I have ah! Shi Xia’s heart palpitated in trepidation. She thought Yuan Zhao would immediately take his sword out but suddenly, he seemed to remember something and his face instantly went back to normal.

As if he didn’t see Shi Xia, he stiffly turned his head and glared at his son as his words also took a 180 turn, “Nonsense! You are an elite disciple of the inner sect, how can you discriminate against your fellow disciples? Where are your cultivation morals? Is this how your father taught you!”

“But Father ……” Yi Yaojun was confused, “But …… but she is a Foundation Establishment….”

“What’s wrong with Foundation Establishment? Aren’t Foundation Establishment disciples also part of the Yuhua Sect? And who among you has not been at Foundation Establishment?”

“But ……”

“No buts, as a senior brother, you should take care of your junior brothers and sisters. How can you rely on your status as an inner disciple to bully disciples with lower cultivation than you?”

Yi Yaojun finally lowered his head. Half reluctantly, half unwillingly he said, “Father, I was wrong.”

“Hm.” Yuan Zhao showed a satisfied look, waved his hand and said with a serious face, “The Secret Realm is dangerous and you have to take care of your fellow disciples, understood? Hurry up and leave.”

“Yes!” Yi Yaojun gave a resentful look to Shi Xia, secretly glared at her and commanded, “Let’s go!” After saying this, he went towards the teleportation formation in the middle of the empty place.

Shi Xia was surprised at everything that happened. Not only her identity was exposed but Yuan Zhao even defended her.

Could it be that Bi Hong had told him about her in advance?

Shi Xia with a heart full of doubts, followed Yi Yaojun and went to her group Nanyi Gua standing before the teleportation array.

There were already seven or eight people waiting there. She took a curious look at everyone, five men and three women. Although she couldn’t see through their cultivation level, they all must be at the Golden Pill Stage.

“Senior Brother Yi, is this the last person in our group?” Before long, a woman in pink came forward with a look of disdain on her face, “This Senior Sister looks quite beautiful, but how come she’s still at the Foundation Establishment.”

“Yes, Yaojun, I never saw you pitying people.” A man next to the woman in pink, dressed in white with grass and wood patterns tattooed on his sleeves, pushed Yi Yaojun’s back with a teasing face.

The other people couldn’t help but also tease, “Hahahaha, Senior Brother Yi, I wonder which peak this sister is from for you to be so kind?”

The more they spoke, the outrageous the words their mouths uttered. As if they wanted to pull the two of them into a pile of poo.

Shi Xia, who was the centre of attention, innocently reaped the angry stares of the two female cultivators in the team. The corners of her mouth twitched. Their brain must have not developed properly. This Yi Yaojun at most would be fifteen or sixteen-year-old. She is not interested in eating young grass ah. The ancient people were really precocious.

“Don’t ask!” Yi Yaojun interrupted with an annoyed face, “It is because of the nameplate that she was assigned in our team. She’s an outer disciple of the Li Jian Peak.”

As soon as these words were uttered, the eyes of the people immediately changed. Their interest in her all but vanished, and vague hints of contempt rose.

“So she’s just an outer disciple, still only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Why is she assigned to our group?”

“How should I know!” Yi Yaojun became more annoyed, “Who knows what’s wrong with that nameplate?”

“Can’t we change her with someone else?” Someone suggested.

Yi Yaojun glared at that person, “My father said that fellow disciples should guard and help each other. All right stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go!” Saying this, he entered the teleportation array first.

Once they heard that it was the Sect Leader’s order, the crowd did not speak anymore and followed.

A group usually consists of ten people. Once all the people were gathered together, the formation on the ground lit up. A flash of red light flashed and the scenery in front of them changed. In an instant, they reached the top of a plain. The plain was desolate, yellow soil and sand were seen flying everywhere, with withered grass and trees here and there. But the place was unexpectedly lively with the presence of disciples of various sects, gathered in groups together. There were also some wanderer cultivators. All of these people without exception would look up to the sky from time to time.

Shi Xia also could not help but look up. Right at that moment, the sky above their head, seemed to have torn in the middle. Behind the tear, a lush field of green grass could be seen. It seemed that the Dreamless Realm was there.
