"Watch out!"
"Qin Gengyun!"
"Brother Qin, Sister Nian!"
Amidst the exclamations, five sword auras shot towards the five people on the altar.
In an instant, a blazing red flame streaked across the sky, resembling a phoenix dancing in the heavens, engulfing and devouring the five sword auras.
The middle-aged man was taken aback: "What cultivation technique is this?"
A tall, voluptuous figure with red hair and red clothes stood in the air, looking down at Liu Su:
"Susu, you assist him."
Liu Su gritted her teeth and nodded: "Yes!"
Qin Gengyun looked at her worriedly: "My wife..."
Niantangās body stiffened, and she said angrily, "I am not your wife! Focus!"
The last sentence was not very angry, yet carried an unconscious whimper and embarrassment.
"This womanās body is great, the voice even better, delightful!"
Mo Sha stared at Niantang, his eyes almost popping out.
Ling fell into silence, appearing pensive.
The middle-aged man was similarly captivated by Niantangās figure and demeanor, repeatedly admiring:
"So beautiful and fierce, why not remove the veil?"
Niantang was already angered by their sudden intrusion disrupting her plan, and now she was even more killing intent overwhelming:
"Does a dead man deserve it?"
With a flick of her slender hand, a graceful red arc swept across, the blazing red flame reappeared, transforming into a firebird that spread its wings towards the middle-aged man.
"A mere Foundation Establishment, so arrogant!"
The middle-aged man got angry and drew a long sword from behind.
The sword gleamed coldly, spiritual energy overflowed, clearly an upper-grade magical artifact.
The short, wretched middle-aged man wielding the Immortal Sword looked somewhat comical, yet his attack was like thunder, a purple sword aura condensed into form, akin to a solid magical artifact, directly stabbing towards the charging firebird.
The clash was unlike Mo Xiaolan and that white-haired elder, silent; the flames exploded, resounding in the sky!
Mo Sha sneered: "Li Zhen is about to break through to the second-layer of the Golden Core, much stronger than his woman, how can a Foundation Establishment stand against it?"
However, the next moment his smile froze.
The middle-aged man named Li Zhen retreated continuously, with flames igniting on his clothes, he hurriedly used spiritual power to extinguish the flames, yet his hair and beard were somewhat singed, extremely embarrassed.
While the red silhouette in mid-air stood hands behind her back, unscathed, the disdain in her beautiful eyes seemed substantial, looking like she was actually the one with higher cultivation.
Mo Sha widened his eyes in disbelief: "How can a cross-level challenge be so easy?"
This was Foundation Establishment against Golden Core, a whole realm apart. Even if you have outstanding talent, able to challenge higher realms, how could you so effortlessly repel a higher realm opponent?
Who exactly is this red-haired woman?
Ling said in a deep voice: "Young Master, step back a bit more."
"Oh, okay!"
This time, Mo Sha was very obedient, retreating several steps consecutively.
"What a little wench!"
Li Zhen, having been repelled by a single move from a Foundation Establishment female cultivator, couldnāt stand the embarrassment, attacked with full strength, sword auras rained towards Niantang.
But they were all swept and devoured by the red flames, for a time Li Zhen was pressed by Niantangās attacks, becoming more and more awkward.
At this moment, an exclamation came from the altar.
"Oh no, I canāt control them!"
Just as Liu Su spoke, the two Celestial Prisons restraining Ye Xiyue and Su Hongling shattered.
Simultaneously, the spiritual power chains extracting innate spiritual energy from their Spirit Fields crumbled piece by piece!
"Haha, I won! You canāt restrain me!"
Su Hongling laughed heartily, then spat a mouthful of blood, clearly paying a significant price, but her gaze towards Qin Gengyun held little killing intent, instead breaking into a smile:
"Youāre quite a decent man."
Beside her, Ye Xiyue also spat blood, her face paler, looked coldly at Qin Gengyun:
"Villain!"
Earlier, she had a lot of her innate spiritual energy absorbed by Qin Gengyun, even her Spirit Root was damaged.
Qin Gengyun, however, was much gentler towards Su Hongling, absorbing only a little, focusing primarily on Ye Xiyue.
Su Honglingās primary injury came from breaking free of the Five-Beast Celestial Prison and spiritual power chains, her loss of innate spiritual energy was minimal.
Ye Xiyue, resentful, Xia Qinglian allowed you to seize both our Spirit Roots, why spare her and focus all your efforts on me?!
Su Hongling laughed heartily: "Ye Xiyue, do you know why? Because youāre too cheap!"
Ye Xiyue, furious: "Su Hongling, I will... uh?!"
She looked at Qin Gengyun in astonishment: "What did you make me swallow?!"
Earlier, while she was speaking, Qin Gengyun suddenly flicked something into her mouth.
With Ye Xiyueās strength, she should have immediately used spiritual power to repel it, but having just escaped from the Celestial Prison and spiritual power chains, her spiritual power was exhausted, unable to resist.
As Qin Gengyun flicked it in, it was reinforced with his spiritual power, directly entering Ye Xiyueās throat, going straight to her stomach.
At this moment, Ye Xiyue already felt a terrifying medicinal effect spreading through her meridians towards her whole body, even rushing directly to her Spirit Field.
"This is... the Soul-devouring Pill?!"
Ye Xiyueās expression changed drastically, given her vast knowledge, she naturally recognized the Soul-devouring Pill.
This was the most toxic pill of the age, crafted specifically for controlling cultivators at Golden Core or higher.
Once the medicinal effect enters the body, every few days the meridians and Spirit Field feel as though being cut with knives and stabbed with swords, the pain several times worse than being flayed.
Only by the grace of the one who administered the pill, sharing their spiritual power, can this pain be temporarily alleviated.
This means that anyone made to swallow the Soul-devouring Pill becomes a permanent slave to the one who administered it!
At this moment, Ye Xiyue could feel within her body the pervasive medicinal effect carrying Qin Gengyunās spiritual power.
In an instant, shock, surprise, fear, collapse... various emotions spread through her entirely like the medicinal power, making even her normally icy eyes turn red!
"I will never be controlled!"
Ye Xiyue gathered her remaining spiritual power, wanting to expel the medicinal power that hadnāt yet reached her Spirit Field.
"Susu! I am going to aid them, Fairy Ye is yours!"
"Alright!"
Qin Gengyun gave a word of instruction and then leapt up, Liu Su cheerily jumped to Ye Xiyueās back:
"Fairy Xiyue, want to detox? Iāll help you!"
Liu Su placed her palms on Ye Xiyueās back, the Mist Spirit Eye appeared above their heads, and the Soul-devouring Pillās medicinal power charging towards Ye Xiyueās Spirit Field was guided by the Mist Spirit Eye, speeding towards her Spirit Field.
"Just you?"
Ye Xiyue sneered coldly, though injured, she was powerful. The remaining spiritual power formed a wall, blocking the medicinal power charging towards her Spirit Field, even pushing them out bit by bit.
This wretched Fairy is formidable!
Liu Suās smile faded, cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
She was feeling overwhelmed, the Soul-devouring Pillās power being pushed further and further away. If it couldnāt reach the Spirit Field, it wouldnāt have such a significant effect, thus with a high-grade detoxifying pill from Zhenyang Sect, the residual toxin could be completely eradicated.
"Futile effort." Ye Xiyue mocked coldly.
"Good sister Xiyue, Iām here to help you!"
A playful voice came from the side, Ye Xiyueās face changed color.
"Su Hongling, donāt... ah!"
Su Hongling smacked Ye Xiyueās back, a powerful surge of spiritual power flowed into her meridians, jointly pushing the Soul-devouring Pillās power into Ye Xiyueās Spirit Field with Liu Su!
