Chapter 131: Wu Yue’s Rise

“Celestial Maiden You You, are you trying to keep this guardian beast all to yourself?” Wu Qi’s face darkened as he looked her over, then glanced greedily at the egg. “Though Xuan Guang Sect isn’t first-rate, we won’t let others walk over us!”

“What? You’ll snatch it if I refuse?” You You’s voice turned icy.

“Big Brother, she didn’t wrong me—she saved me! That egg isn’t—” Wu Yue tugged at Wu Qi’s sleeve, but he shoved her away without listening.

“We wouldn’t dare disrespect a celestial maiden,” Wu Qi sneered, dropping all pretense of courtesy, “but you’re not leaving with that egg today.”

You You almost laughed. “Try stopping me.” What gave this Foundation Building cultivator such nerve?

“Since you’re being stubborn,” Wu Qi raised his spell sword, “we’ll take it by force!”

“Big Brother!” Wu Yue cried, but he pushed her aside again. His disciples surrounded You You, weapons drawn.

“Put those down!” Wu Yue shouted uselessly. No one heeded her—not even when Wu Qi’s blade shot toward You You.

Rage erupted in Wu Yue’s chest. “I said STOP!” Spiritual energy exploded from her, smashing Wu Qi’s attack and hurling him into a charred pit.

Thud.

The arrogant man lay buried three inches deep.

You You blinked.

“S-Sect Master?” The disciples gaped at Wu Yue’s glowing form.

“Have you forgotten who leads this sect?” Wu Yue’s frigid gaze swept over them. “Disobey me again, and you’re traitors!”

The disciples dropped to their knees. “W-we obey!”

“Wu Yue!” Wu Qi crawled from the pit, clutching his ribs. “You attack your own brother?”

“Address me as Sect Master.” Her voice held no warmth.

“Little Sister—”

“Even Father would use that title here.”

Wu Qi paled, then blustered, “I did this for you! That eighth-grade egg’s too valuable—”

“It’s not mine!” Wu Yue’s fists shook. “Touch that egg,” she declared, “and you’re expelled from Xuan Guang Sect.” Her eyes locked on Wu Qi. “All of you.”
