Chapter 905: The Omnicure Blossom

[Immortal Realm, Ember Dune Desert – Inner Zone, Forgotten Domain]

"Xiao Yueyue, what are you spacing out for?" Xiong Zi Ying’s teasing voice snapped Shenlian Yingyue from her thoughts.

She blinked, focusing. "Master, I was just worried about their safety." She glanced at him. "Do you have a plan?"

Before he could respond, her sharp senses flared. A ripple in the spiritual air, others were approaching. With a subtle flick of her fingers, she signaled the group to suppress their auras. Xiao Yun, Bing Xue, and Bu Si Shu exchanged knowing looks. Shenlian Yingyue always thought three steps ahead, even now, she worried about her uncle’s happiness and his future bride.

Xiong Zi Ying shook his head gently. "I’m not here to explore. I’ll stay with you."

"Master, are you sure?" she asked, frowning slightly. "You shouldn’t waste your opportunity on my account."

"I have my own reasons." A faint smile tugged at his lips. If A’Fen were here, I’d follow him to the ends of the realms. But since he’s not, I’ll keep watch over you.

With that, Shenlian Yingyue, Xiao Yun, Bing Xue, Xiong Zi Ying, and Bu Si Shu advanced deeper into the heart of the Forgotten Domain.

[Ember Dune Desert – Inner Zone, Eastern Ridge]

"CRACK!"

A blinding arc of lightning split the air. Shenlian Yingyue was forced back, her boots skidding across the scorched sand. She raised her hand swiftly. A lotus, woven from pure spiritual light, blossomed before her, absorbing the impact.

"Hand over the Omnicure Blossom, or die!"

A squad of immortal disciples descended from the sky, clad in deep orange robes. Their weapons shimmered with lethal energy, their eyes sharp with greed.

The Omnicure Blossom, a mythical herb said to grant perfect health for a thousand years and immunity to all illness. A flower that bloomed only once every billion years. The last had vanished in the Divine War, until now.

Shenlian Yingyue had been moments from securing it when the intruders arrived.

"We were here first," she said coolly, her tone calm but firm.

The lead disciple snorted. "Power decides everything. You’re five against fifty. Forty-nine of us are early-stage Golden Immortals. One is already in the late-stage."

He smirked, sizing her up. "And you? A mid-stage True Immortal?"

The group burst into laughter.

What they didn’t know was that Shenlian Yingyue’s cultivation was deliberately hidden, suppressed by a purple bracelet, an enchanted gift from Xiao Yun. Likewise, her companions’ strengths were cloaked. To outsiders, they looked like a band of nobodies.

"Oh, so bullying others with numbers is considered just?" Xiong Zi Ying’s voice was lazy, but his eyes darkened, like a predator watching prey.

"Just? When you’re dead, your belongings naturally belong to the living." Another disciple grinned, unrepentant.

"Where did these filthy hyenas come from?" Bu Si Shu hovered lazily in midair, arms folded.

"Hyenas?" one disciple sneered. "We are from the Eclipse Devouring Sect in the Seasonal Domain. You bumpkins from the Forgotten Domain wouldn’t understand what true power means. Any one of our branches could flatten your kind."

Shenlian Yingyue studied them calmly. Disciples from the Seasonal Domain indeed possessed real strength, even outer sect members had formidable cultivation. But their personalities reeked of arrogance and entitlement.

"Unlucky for you, you ran into us today," Bing Xue said with a smirk, his tone ice-cold.

"Hmph, just a bunch of low-blooded trash. You think you can talk big?"

Shenlian Yingyue tilted her head and asked seriously, "Do you really think sneering like that makes you look impressive?"

"What did you say?" They frowned.
