"If you don’t talk, I’ll send you to Sword Demon’s room to keep him company."

Wen Ping spoke earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuping’s brow immediately twitched, and she cursed angrily, "Shameless!"

"You intend to kill me, so no matter what method I use against you, it’s not excessive." Wen Ping coldly added, "This is the Sect Leader’s last offer. If you don’t speak, you’ll be knocked out and sent over!"

"You..."

Ye Wuping’s eyes were about to blaze with fury, subconsciously wanting to open her Meridian Gate to counterattack, but she froze in place.

The Meridian Gate was sealed!

Now, she was nothing but a cripple dragging a broken body!

Just as Ye Wuping was stunned, Wen Ping immediately turned and said to the disciple guarding the door, "Knock her out and send her to Sword Demon Elder’s residence—"

Before Wen Ping could finish speaking, Ye Wuping clenched her teeth and called out to Wen Ping, "Isn’t this what you want to hear? I’ll talk!"

"Wouldn’t it have been better if you did this earlier."

Wen Ping turned around and quietly watched Ye Wuping, waiting for her to speak.

For the sake of her dignity, Ye Wuping had no choice but to speak, "The land you’re standing on is the burial ground for all my clansmen, so no one is allowed to desecrate it!"

"That’s all?"

"Isn’t that enough?"

After hearing Ye Wuping’s reasoning, Wen Ping felt nothing because everyone has their own reasons and hardships, no matter what they do. To Wen Ping, as long as someone doesn’t provoke him, all is well. If they do, it’s another matter entirely.

No matter how legitimate or righteous your reasons are, they are useless.

After collecting his thoughts, Wen Ping coldly said, "From today, you’ll stay at the Immortal Sect, but surviving doesn’t come without a price. It happens that some people have left recently; there’s a shortage of manpower for tree planting, so you’ll fill in there."

"To humiliate me like this—are you still a man? If you have the guts, just kill me!" Ye Wuping glared at Wen Ping with resentment.

Plant trees?

How could she stoop so low for survival?

Such tasks in the Red Leaf Sect are only done by the lowest servants.

Upon hearing Ye Wuping say this, Wen Ping didn’t bother with words; he turned directly, "Knock her out, strip her, and send her to Sword Demon Elder’s room—"

"You!"

Behind him, Ye Wuping’s voice gritted with fury rang out.

Wen Ping smiled smugly, but as he turned, his expression returned to its usual coldness, "Since you’ve changed your mind, follow me."

However, Ye Wuping was not someone who would easily succumb, even if her body did, her mouth and heart would not, "The day I see light again, I, Ye Wuping, will torture you and Sword Demon a thousand times over and leave your corpses exposed to the elements for centuries!"

"Woman, say one more word, and my patience will reach its limit. Then it won’t be as simple as sending you to Sword Demon’s room. Believe me, the Sect Leader can strip you and parade you in public," Wen Ping gravely stated, his tone convincing enough that he might act on it.

Ye Wuping merely gritted her teeth and retorted with a single "you," and then she fell silent, following Wen Ping toward Yunlan Mountain.

At this moment in the Undying Forest, many prodigies of the Red Leaf Sect were reading while discussing their plans to escape the Immortal Sect.

They were still unwilling.

After all, in their days in the Red Leaf Sect, they lived like stars admired by all.

But a single day in the Immortal Sect felt like ten years in the Red Leaf Sect!

"The Sect Leader should be returning from Supreme City now!" exclaimed a suddenly enlightened Red Leaf Sect prodigy.

Upon mentioning the Sect Leader, everyone felt reassured.

The Sect Leader is one of the Upper Realm experts in the Red Domain; who in the Red Domain could rival her?

Once the Sect Leader returns, she will undoubtedly come to rescue them—they are, after all, the selected candidates for the Red Leaf Sect’s most prestigious Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking.

Without them, the Red Leaf Sect would have no representation in this century’s Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking. While ordinary Five-star Influences can endure such embarrassment, the Red Leaf Sect, being a dominant power, absolutely cannot. Thus, the Sect Leader will surely come to rescue them!

"The Sect Leader will certainly come to save us!"

"She should be on her way!"

With these words, everyone found renewed vigor for chopping trees.

While chopping, a gleam of hope for escape and a bright future sparked in their eyes.

Then, suddenly, footsteps approached.

They quickly shut their mouths and exchanged glances, dispersing swiftly. Some dug pits, others planted trees, as if nothing had just happened. Still, their eyes couldn’t help but glance toward the source of the sound.

They saw the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect approaching!

Startled, they hurriedly bowed their heads, not daring to look at the visitor, and applied every ounce of strength to their work.

"From now on, you’ll be with them. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask them. Oh, you’re welcome to escape at any time, but the consequences are your own." With that, Wen Ping left Ye Wuping in the forest and turned away from the Undying Forest.

In this moment, Ye Wuping burned with anger, afraid Wen Ping might actually tarnish her dignity, so she had no choice but to suppress her fury. As soon as Wen Ping left, Ye Wuping erupted in rage at the tree beside her.

A punch!

A kick!

"Ah—hiss—"

Ye Wuping sat down hard on the ground, her right fist curled against her abdomen, gritting her teeth in pain.

Seeing this, the prodigies of the Red Leaf Sect burst into laughter.

"Look, we’ve got a fool."

"Even a sapling in the Immortal Sect is tougher than an Earth Unrestricted Expert’s Spirit Body. She’s half-dead and still attacks the tree directly."

"What a fool!"

They exchanged glances and laughed louder.

A Red Leaf Sect prodigy immediately walked over and tossed the tools left behind by departing Earth Unrestricted Experts at Ye Wuping’s feet. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Foul woman, hurry up and work. If your laziness drags us down, we’ll make sure you suffer tonight!"

After finishing, he aimed a kick at Ye Wuping, urging her to get up.

Laziness could indeed implicate himself.

Last time, someone dozed off, causing them all considerable distress!

The memories are still fresh!

But as his foot stretched out, Ye Wuping suddenly rose and grabbed it. She squeezed tightly, making the Red Leaf Sect prodigy cry out in pain. Despite being from an Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm faction, even with diminished strength, it wasn’t something a Mountain Suppression Realm cultivator could withstand.

"Watch your mouth!"

Ye Wuping leaped up, glaring like an enraged lion at the Red Leaf Sect prodigy.

This eye-opening moment left many Red Leaf Sect prodigies speechless.

"Sect... Leader..."

"Could it be?"

Though disbelief filled their minds, the person before them looked identical to the Sect Leader, even sharing a similar aura.

Although the Sect Leader’s aura wasn’t this weak.

When Ye Wuping heard someone call her Sect Leader, she paused, then scanned the group, slowly releasing her grip on the prodigy’s leg.

Her gaze landed at the back, and then she called out a name, "Little Feng Jun!"

"Master!" A clear-eyed young man suddenly had tears in his eyes, staring at Ye Wuping in astonishment, "Master, is it really you?"
