Su Chun descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of the crowd.
Her light purple dress, combined with her silver hair and heterochromatic eyes, made her look exceptionally unique under the sunlight.
Once she found her footing, she placed her hands on her hips and looked at the group of aggressive cultivators with a dissatisfied expression.
Her face was filled with the grievance of ‘I did a good deed and still got scolded.’
When the crowd saw that the person who had been causing trouble from the shadows was such a unique-looking young girl, the entire field fell into a momentary silence.
Everyone’s gaze focused on this sudden appearance of a stunning girl.
Their eyes were filled with wariness, but also a thick sense of amazement at her beauty.
“Who are you, girl? Why have you interfered in our business?”
The black-robed cultivator leading the Taiyi Sect — the one who had just attacked Su Chun — stared at her with dark, sinister eyes, his tone far from friendly.
He couldn’t feel any fluctuations of Spiritual Power coming from her.
It was as if she were a powerless mortal girl.
However, those miraculous techniques for controlling earth and wood were definitely not something a mortal could achieve.
“Who am I?”
Su Chun blinked her beautiful, large eyes and spoke with an innocent expression.
“Ahem, I’m just a kind person passing by. I saw you all fighting and thought it wasn’t very nice. Not only does it ruin the harmony, but people could easily lose their lives. While this Seven-Colored Exquisite Fruit is precious, is it really worth throwing away your lives?”
These words caused the faces of many cultivators to twitch involuntarily.
“A kind person? I think you have ulterior motives. Otherwise, why would you secretly ambush the disciples of my sect?”
The black-robed cultivator sneered.
“Was that an ambush? I was saving their lives, okay? Look at them — everyone is either injured or playing dead. If I hadn’t stepped in, there would definitely be a pile of corpses by now,” Su Chun replied, clearly displeased.
On the side of the Nine Major Sects, a middle-aged cultivator in green robes spoke up.
This person was Master Ling Yunzi of the Sword Control Sect from the Yunmeng Mountain Range.
She observed Su Chun with a solemn gaze and then said in a heavy voice, “Girl, this matter is a grudge between us and the Taiyi Sect. It has nothing to do with you. Please release our sect’s disciples and leave immediately.”
Su Chun strolled back and forth in front of the crowd, looking completely relaxed, as if she didn’t care about these people at all.
“It really doesn’t have anything to do with me, but I just like standing up for what’s right. I hate seeing people lose their lives. Is that not allowed?”
Su Chun tilted her head and asked back after a moment of thought.
Her words were both overbearing and infuriating.
“You — “
“Don’t ‘you’ me. Watching all of you fight to the death over this fruit is exhausting just to look at. How about this? I’ll hold onto the fruit for you for the time being. You guys should have a proper discussion about who should actually get it. Once you’ve decided, come find me and take it back. What do you think? It’s a pretty good suggestion, isn’t it?”
As soon as she said this, the expressions of the cultivators from both the Taiyi Sect and the Nine Major Sects became extremely strange.
‘This girl is quite beautiful and unique, but could she be a fool?’
They thought.
‘A treasure like the Seven-Colored Exquisite Fruit, and she says she’ll “keep it safe” for us? She even wants us to discuss it before coming to get it?’
“How presumptuous!” the black-robed cultivator from the Taiyi Sect roared.
“A little yellow-haired brat dares to speak so arrogantly about the Seven-Colored Exquisite Fruit? You dare interfere with the business of the Taiyi Sect? I will say this one last time: if you know what’s good for you, get lost immediately, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“Exactly! Where did this little girl come from? Her hair hasn’t even fully grown in, yet she dares to meddle in our business,” someone from the Nine Major Sects echoed.
Hearing these voices, the smile on Su Chun’s face gradually vanished.
“Hey, I have a short fuse! Saying my hair hasn’t fully grown in? Does this beautiful silver hair of mine look like it hasn’t grown?”
Su Chun rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was ready to hit someone.
Su Chun’s personality had truly been shaped during those few months with the Tantai Family, making her both confident and mischievous.
Of course, she might have always been like this, and having power simply made her even more unscrupulous.
“What, do you have an objection to being called a yellow-haired brat? You look like you haven’t even been weaned yet. Hurry home and find your mother!”
One of the cultivators from the Nine Sects Alliance mocked.
That was it. That sentence completely ticked Su Chun off.
“Fine! I tried to break up the fight out of the goodness of my heart, but if you won’t appreciate it and even want to insult me, then fine! Today, I’ll let you all know exactly what they mean when they say ‘no good deed goes unpunished’!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Chun pointed a finger at the void.
In the next moment, her hand seemed to reach deep into space, appearing right next to the fruit and grabbing it.
“Not good! She’s trying to steal the fruit! Stop her!”
Although the cultivators from the Taiyi Sect and the Nine Major Sects were startled by her method, they reacted immediately, roaring as they launched attacks toward Su Chun.
However, across a distance of dozens of yards, Su Chun’s hand had already snatched the fruit.
The speed was far beyond their imagination.
By the time they reacted, the fruit was already in Su Chun’s hand.
“EARTH STYLE: EARTH FLOW WALL!”
Su Chun shouted softly, her right hand grasping at the void as a Nine-colored Glow flashed.
She quickly sketched in the air, instantly drawing several earth walls to block the pursuing cultivators.
*Crash! Crash! Crash!*
Although the earth walls were sturdy, they quickly crumbled under the attacks of so many cultivators.
However, it provided Su Chun with an opportunity to escape.
“Leave the fruit behind!”
The experts from the Nine Major Sects and the Taiyi Sect watched this, their eyes practically splitting with rage.
After getting the fruit, Su Chun took a bite right in front of them.
“Oh, the taste seems pretty good.”
A burst of sweet juice exploded in her mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed through her limbs and bones.
The feeling of weakness caused by the Chaos Bell absorbing her Chaos Power instantly vanished by more than half.
“You… little girl, you’re looking for death!”
Seeing Su Chun actually take a bite of the Seven-Colored Exquisite Fruit in public, the eyes of the cultivators from the Taiyi Sect and the Nine Major Sects turned blood-red.
“Catch her! Don’t let her get away!”
In an instant, countless attacks surged toward Su Chun like a tide.
Su Chun licked her lips and stuffed the Seven-Colored Exquisite Fruit into her storage treasure.
“Trying to catch me? Not a chance! ANYWHERE DOOR: OPEN!”
Su Chun waved her hand again, and a spatial portal appeared in front of her.
She immediately dove in and reappeared more than 10 yards away.
All the cultivators’ attacks missed.
“A spatial technique? Impossible! Who on earth are you? How can you possess such a powerful technique?”
Su Chun rolled her eyes at them.
“Why should I tell you? Bye-bye!”
After saying that, Su Chun sketched a bird, hopped onto its back, and turned to flee.
“Think you can leave? It’s not that easy!”
The black-robed cultivator from the Taiyi Sect roared, summoning the Eight Trigrams Mirror once more.
A thick black pillar of light locked onto Su Chun’s back and shot toward her fiercely.
Su Chun didn’t even look back.
She made a drawing motion behind her.
“MIRROR REFLECTION: REFLECT!”
A giant, smooth mirror appeared out of thin air, blocking her back.
*Boom!*
After the black pillar of light hit the mirror, it actually reflected away, striking a small mountain in the distance and piercing right through it.
This scene was terrifying.
Su Chun took advantage of their dazed state to put even more distance between them.
“Curse it! After her!”
And so, the two camps that were just fighting to the death set aside their grudges and began a joint pursuit of Su Chun.
The chaotic battle triggered by the Seven-Colored Exquisite Fruit eventually evolved into a massive chase.
Su Chun was running in front, followed by a large group of exasperated cultivators.
The scene was incredibly comical.
“Hey! Is this really necessary? It’s just a fruit! I’ve already eaten some, and you’re still chasing me!”
Su Chun shouted back as she ran.
“Witch! Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will catch you!”
The black-robed cultivator was so angry his beard was twitching.
“Girl, quickly hand over the remaining Seven-Colored Exquisite Fruit. Do not bring ruin upon yourself!”
The experts of the Nine Sects Alliance shouted from behind.
