The purple netherflame was indeed more ferocious than the black one!
Su Luo cast another incantation, and the golden light pierced the human face in the center. It shrieked, but instead of retreating, it madly lunged towards Su Luo.
"It's this strong!?"
Su Luo's eyes narrowed. She flicked her fingers, and golden light continued to fly out.
The purple human face contorted grotesquely, finally weakened by the purifying power. Its shrieks turned into wails, and it began to shrink. Seeing it was about to perish, she finally shouted, "Third Senior Brother, quickly, finish it off!"
Lu Jixing, who had been watching from the side, snapped out of his daze. Little Junior Sister was so formidable!
She could even eliminate the purple netherflame!
He quickly stepped forward to deliver the finishing blow. His spiritual energy transformed into a thin veil, enveloping the twisted purple flame. With a loud bang, it exploded into a wisp of smoke and dissipated into the air.
The numbers on the positioning bead surged by a hundred.
Lu Jixing was both shocked and delighted, "Little Junior Sister, that's so much! Eliminating one purple netherflame grants 100 points, equivalent to eliminating 100 gray netherflames."
Su Luo let out a sigh of relief, quite satisfied. "After all, purple netherflame is so powerful. Compared to gray netherflame, the difficulty has also increased a hundredfold."
If her incantation hadn't increased in power, she wouldn't have been able to eliminate the purple netherflame.
As expected of one of the four dangerous forbidden lands, it was fraught with peril. If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would likely never return.
Su Luo continued to eliminate netherflames with Lu Jixing. After another quarter of an hour, he also successfully reached 1074.
Lu Jixing looked at his positioning bead, bubbling with happiness. Perhaps this time, he truly had a chance to enter the top one hundred. It was only the second day. With a bit more effort, 2000 might not be a problem.
The top one hundred on the Heavenly Pride Ranking! He had dreamt of it for so long!
"Little Junior Sister, I must thank you. You're too good to me..."
Lu Jixing was proud and happy to have such a junior sister, shouting with excitement, "I want to give you everything I have... No, everything of mine is yours. Whatever you fancy, I'll give it to you. The elixirs and poisons I refine, the spiritual herbs I collect, my spirit coins, my cultivation techniques... even my life belongs to you, Little Junior Sister."
Su Luo couldn't help but chuckle, "Alright, Third Senior Brother, we're family. Don't be so formal."
Lu Jixing nodded vigorously, "No need for formality. My things are yours anyway, Little Junior Sister."
When Su Luo had helped Zhan Li brush up his score by another wave of netherflames, successfully soaring above 1000, Li Tianjue had already galloped far ahead, leaving everyone else far behind.
The terrifying number of 4862 had successfully surpassed the original first-place holder, Shui Xuanmo, with 1822, becoming the new number one!
In the Sun Moon Plaza, the cheers for Li Tianjue surged like waves, growing louder and louder.
The Great Elder beamed, unable to close his mouth. "I told you, Tianjue is definitely the strongest. No one can surpass him."
The Second Elder's beard and eyebrows were practically dancing with joy. "I told you not to worry earlier. See, Tianjue will never have any problems. Look, even Tian Shu, Jixing, and Zhan Li have climbed up. It's just this Su girl... why is she only in the 300s?"
"Don't panic. Su girl will be fine. She'll climb up in a bit."
The Great Elder was completely at ease.
The Second Elder immediately nodded, "Right, Su girl must have been temporarily delayed. She'll rise up soon."
In the mining area, in the afternoon, Su Luo finally stopped.
All three of her senior brothers had successfully 'brushed up their scores.' She had also helped a few outer disciples reach above 500, and Wen Ruchu and Sun Jian had over a hundred. She was simply too tired.
Everyone stopped to rest, expressing their gratitude to Su Luo while waiting for Li Tianjue to return.
"Senior Sister Su, thank you so much," Lin Yao and Gu Chengfeng said with immense gratitude.
They hadn't expected Su Luo to help even outer disciples like them. They finally understood why the positioning beads of their second senior brother and the others had soared so quickly.
Sun Lulu, wearing a veil due to her disfigurement, felt her gloomy mood lift considerably. "Senior Sister Su, you're truly too kind, not only helping us outer disciples secure so many cultivation resources but even helping us brush up our scores."
He Bi'er's pretty face flushed with excitement. "Senior Sister Su, although we are insignificant, if you ever need us for anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask..."
Before she could finish, Qin Yuanshu said dismissively, "Alright, alright. What kind of person is Senior Sister Su? Would she care about our meager gratitude? Senior Sister Su is a figure comparable to our Eldest Senior Brother. She doesn't need our repayment at all; this is what a truly noble and upright magnate is like."
He looked at Su Luo eagerly, "Senior Sister Su, I'm right, aren't I?"
Su Luo said indifferently, "Yes, you've said it very well. Don't say it again in the future."
Qin Yuanshu was instantly silenced.
Su Luo looked at him expressionlessly and said word by word, "I helped everyone, but not for free. If you weren't disciples of Qingxu Heaven, I wouldn't have bothered. As for Young Master Wen and Young Master Sun, I took tens of millions from them, so it's normal for me to help them brush up their scores. I am not at all noble or upright. You must repay me in the future, do you hear me?"
As if slapped, Qin Yuanshu felt extremely awkward.
Everyone mumbled, "Yes, Senior Sister Su."
"I don't need any other repayment. As long as you cultivate diligently and bring more glory to Qingxu Heaven, that's enough."
"So..."
Lin Yao suddenly looked up, greatly surprised.
When Su Luo had said she wanted them to repay her, he had thought she genuinely wanted money or material possessions. He hadn't expected her to mean cultivating diligently and repaying the sect! He had almost misunderstood Senior Sister Su!
Cultivating diligently was what they should do.
Everyone was moved by Su Luo's words, but Su Luo scanned their surroundings, wondering why Li Tianjue still hadn't returned.
Had he run that far?
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from all around. The crowd looked towards the source and saw that on the protruding edge of a cliff ahead, a giant rock weighing tens of thousands of pounds had loosened and was crashing down.
The ground trembled, and debris rained down. Everyone was startled. But the giant rock didn't shatter; instead, it rumbled towards them.
Chu Tianshu sprang up, "Not good, falling rocks!"
Lu Jixing felt something was wrong. "We're clearly at higher ground. Why is this rock rolling towards us?"
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
Not only that, but the large rocks standing on the ground not far away, which were not round, also suddenly began to roll.
Over a dozen massive rocks, each four to five zhang tall, surrounded Su Luo and the others from all directions. As if they had come alive, they rolled towards them simultaneously, the booming sounds incessant. They were about to crush them into meat paste.
"Hahahahaha... I finally found you."
Suddenly, a sinister and arrogant voice rang out. A young man clad in a black cloak with flying dark hair appeared in mid-air. "Since Li Tianjue isn't here, I'll kill his junior brothers and sisters first to sate my hatred!"
It was someone causing trouble!
Su Luo frowned and asked, "Second Senior Brother, who is this person?"
