Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 765 - 763 This Girl is Extraordinary

Granny Gan dared not make a careless move. An eighth-tier Array Master harbored a keen aversion to "stronger" individuals; she needed time to set her arrays, while a stronger adversary could easily end her life with a slash of Sword Intent, an attack, or by summoning a powerful Divine Weapon. No wonder this young girl was so composed.

And now, Granny Gan remained vigilant while seeking an opportunity to strike. No matter what, she could not allow this little girl to leave this place. Observing Guang Xiaoyu closely, Granny Gan noted her youth, her calm demeanor, the delicacy of her face, and her bright, lively eyes that occasionally sparkled. Though the vigor within her body was well concealed, some things just couldn't be fully hidden, and Granny Gan could still vaguely detect them. Moreover, there was another kind of energy fluctuation emanating from her. This greatly shocked Granny Gan, giving rise to an unsettling feeling in her heart. But it also confirmed one thing for her: she had no connection with this particular young girl.

After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Miss, your Essence Qi is concealed, and you bear treasures that mask your aura. Surely you must belong to a great family?" She was probing, then continued, "This other young girl and I share some history, and today I must take her with me. I hope you will cooperate. One day, I, Granny Gan, will surely return the favor."

Granny Gan spoke with great confidence, for she had the capital to do so. In the Netherworld, Spirit Realm, Wasteland, or even the Void God Realm, Array Masters, Alchemy Masters, and Artifact Refiners were scarce resources—truly valuable existences.

Simply put, if a powerful cultivator—be it a Qi Refiner, Divine Power Holder, Sword Cultivator, or similar expert—could receive the support of an Array Master in battle, their combat power could skyrocket by tens of times, or even more. This would allow them to achieve the goal of defeating opponents of higher cultivation levels.

Granny Gan believed that no one could refuse the promise of an eighth-tier Array Master, even if they came from a powerful family. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Meanwhile, the ragged little girl was also very tense; it seemed she had nothing in her possession that could stand up against the old hag.

"Oh?" Guang Xiaoyu asked with a smile, "So, you want to bribe me? Then what do you plan to offer to shut me up?"

The word 'bribe' was quite unpleasant, but it didn't matter to her.

As long as there was a price, it would be fine, Granny Gan thought. She then chuckled, "If Miss doesn't mind, I have many more mobile Sword Arrays like the one from just now..."

No way. This newly recognized auntie couldn't possibly be that wicked woman; she definitely wouldn't help that detestable old hag. The little girl widened her eyes in panic; now her only option was to gamble. She had to bet on Guang Xiaoyu's hidden compassion. Despite knowing that cultivators were known for their decisiveness in killing, there was always a 'but,' wasn't there?

The little girl's large eyes looked pitifully at Guang Xiaoyu, filled with an earnest plea.

This little rascal. Guang Xiaoyu was not that kind of "Saint" and didn't have much of a merciful heart, but... she felt an inexplicable sentiment towards this young girl before her. It was strange. Although they had never met before, deep inside, it felt as if she had known her for a very, very long time.

She saw the little girl's beseeching look and those hopeful eyes. For some reason, she felt like laughing, but she restrained herself.

Guang Xiaoyu then looked at Granny Gan, giving her a slight smile without saying anything.

Could it be that the level is too low? Granny Gan wondered. Seeing Guang Xiaoyu's silent response, she then pulled out an even more substantial stone sword.

"This is a seventh-tier Sword Array. Each Sword Dao strike it launches can match the standards of a Primary Perfection Qi Refiner. Coupled with your own strength, foundation, and burst power, you could sweep away all opposition among Perfection Qi Refiners," Granny Gan stated with conviction.

HMPH! This woman looks young. Even with a strong family background, her cultivation realm can't be that high. A seventh-tier Sword Array capable of contending with Perfection Qi Refiners should be enough to make her jaw drop, right?

But Guang Xiaoyu shook her head, continuing to smile without a word.

What does that mean? Granny Gan was stunned; something felt amiss!

Granny Gan waved her hand and pulled out an ancient mirror. The mirror was a dark brown color and appeared rather ordinary, but it emanated a powerful Sword Intent. Even the faintest traces of it spilling out felt oppressively intense.

The crowd of cultivators, who had just fled the inn, turned back upon seeing the ancient mirror. At that moment, every one of them stood with their mouths agape.

Granny Gan was quite satisfied with everyone's reaction. With an almost boastful tone, she said, "This is none other than the Famous Mansion Mirror, which contains the Essence Qi of famous families from the Netherworld. Coupled with a Sword Array, it truly achieves sword manipulation without the need for a human vessel. In real combat, with this mirror in hand, no one below the rank of Saint would dare approach."

Oh? That's a rather interesting way to describe a magical artifact. This Netherworld is so strange! Guang Xiaoyu clicked her tongue in wonder, unfazed.

"It's fake, Auntie, this is fake! Even an eighth-tier Array Master, no matter how powerful, couldn't possibly forge such a Divine Weapon, let alone infuse it with Essence Qi from the major families! PAH! Are you trying to bully a child?" the little girl retorted indignantly.

"And how would you know?" Guang Xiaoyu found it amusing.

"Of course, I know!" The little girl said defiantly, flaring her nostrils and glaring.

Guang Xiaoyu secretly rolled her eyes, ignoring her. The few items the old witch produced might not be high-level or particularly powerful, but they sound rather fun. Yet, she remained unmoved.

She was a Demon Emperor, after all! A mighty, undefeated existence, lofty in the Emperor Realm! Her senior brother possessed such astonishing resources that he had even forged Emperor Weapons and slain a Demon Emperor. Throughout her hundred-thousand-year cultivation journey, what kinds of storms hadn't she weathered?

Seeing her so composed, Granny Gan was taken aback once again. What background did this girl have? She showed no reaction at all to the treasures offered by an eighth-tier Array Master?

Granny Gan clenched her teeth and took out a bone flute, wincing as she began, "This is an eighth-tier bone flute. It's crafted from an Ancient Ferocious Beast—the same beast from which my Phoenix Cane originates. Its true rank is unknown; it currently remains at the eighth tier due to my own power limitations. But... it has the potential to grow. How far it can grow depends on the one who wields it.

"Although I shaped this bone flute, it does not truly belong to me. From the moment I obtained the material, it seemed to have already been tainted with Demonic Qi. This Demonic Qi lingers around it, resisting all my attempts to disperse it. If I'm not careful, it might even consume me.

"It's violent and ferocious, but equally, it is very powerful. I just haven't found a way to use it or to control it and make it acknowledge me as its master."

Her murky eyes fixed on Guang Xiaoyu, Granny Gan continued earnestly, "So, if you hand this little girl over to me, this bone flute will be yours. Perhaps, Miss, you're the fated one who can subdue it and make it serve you?"

Oh? Demonic Qi? That's somewhat interesting. Guang Xiaoyu was tempted, yet her expression remained unchanged, still giving off an air of detachment from worldly possessions, though the smile on her face deepened.

"So, what do you think, Miss?"

Guang Xiaoyu shook her head calmly and said, "Oh, no thanks."

"..."

She actually rejected the offer. FUCK! You fucking...! Granny Gan's face turned dark, looking very displeased.

The surrounding cultivators also looked shocked. The treasures of an eighth-tier Array Master aren't enough to pique your interest? What is your background?

"Why?" Granny Gan was unwilling to accept this, refusing to give up. Her gaze grew complex as she asked with great curiosity, "Such powerful treasures, and yet you remain unmoved...?"

"Oh, it's nothing much. It's just that before I left, my senior brother gave me some instructions," Guang Xiaoyu said, blinking.

"????"

Guang Xiaoyu scratched her head, appearing to recall something. After a moment, as if a memory struck her, she said, "Senior brother mentioned that when we're out gaining experience and cultivating, we shouldn't pick up any trash to bring home..."
