After dealing with Xu Shixian and Liu Jinjin,
Qin Chengcheng sensed the storage bag at his waist vibrating continuously, and the communication jade slip inside emitted several waves.
She took out the nearest one, and Lin Fan's icy voice directly entered her consciousness:
"Chengcheng, return to Miaoyin Pavilion within one day to attend the engagement ceremony with the true disciple of the Jade Dragon Sect."
An engagement?
Qin Chengcheng frowned. She couldn't remember what had happened in the past few years, or how she had gotten engaged.
Before the message was finished, Lin Fan's voice suddenly lowered, carrying an undeniable air of authority:
"The night before the engagement, come to my cave alone. Your soul's protective barrier is unstable, and I need to personally adjust its state for you."
"Adjusting the state of the soul"?
Qin Chengcheng was puzzled; she didn't remember any of these things.
She lightly pressed her fingertips to her brow, enduring the stinging pain emanating from the depths of her soul, and slowly walked towards her boudoir.
The door was tightly shut, and the restrictions were silently lifted.
She came to the bedside, made a hand seal with her fingertips, and a hidden spiritual pattern appeared on the headboard.
"open!"
The restriction was lifted, the hidden compartment popped open, revealing a palm-sized storage bag.
Qin Chengcheng took out the jade slip from the bag and pressed it against her forehead without hesitation.
—In an instant, a massive amount of information flooded into my mind!
"I see!"
She suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp as a knife.
The jade slip contained detailed records of the restrictions placed on her soul—
A four-layered nested Five Elements Divine Restriction!
Twenty-seven key nodes at the bottom layer!
Deepest within... there was even a wisp of third-order malicious divine thought hidden!
And this wisp of divine thought was none other than that left by Master Lin Fan!
"Ha... 'Meet in private the night before the engagement'?"
Qin Chengcheng sneered, and the jade slip shattered inch by inch in her palm.
"Old man! So that's what you were planning!"
She finally understood why Lin Fan wanted her to "adjust her spiritual state"—
—He wanted to take this opportunity to steal her first spiritual connection with "Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens"!
Once she succeeds, her soul essence will be controlled by Lin Fan, turning her into a furnace with no chance of ever turning back!
"Nausea!"
She suddenly flicked her sleeve, and the teacup on the table shattered with a crash, shards of porcelain flying everywhere.
Anger burned in her chest, but she quickly forced herself to calm down.
After briefly checking the other items, her gaze settled on a contract in her hand.
"Qingfeng City Qiu Dan Master's Premium Foundation Building Pill Contract"
Is this contract meant for Chen Yi?
That cook?
"Why would I agree to give him a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill? This has consumed nearly ten thousand spirit stones of my resource reserves, as well as several favors I've accumulated over the years!"
And what about my soul-binding restrictions, the quality of my soul? What's going on? Could it be related to that cook?
A faint stinging pain came from the depths of his consciousness, as if an important memory had been forcibly ripped out.
She subconsciously touched her brow, where a strange yet familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy lingered.
"But he's so weak. I just struck him casually and seriously injured him. How can someone with such low cultivation level help me?"
Qin Chengcheng was puzzled.
"Never mind, we'll deal with these things when we get back. Let's go back to the sect first."
Qin Chengcheng released the flying boat, which transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, heading straight for Miaoyin Pavilion, thousands of miles away.
Below, Xu Shixian and Liu Jinjin also flew over. They had been inexplicably beaten by Qin Chengcheng and wanted to demand an explanation. Even if they were in the wrong first, Qin Chengcheng's attack was too heavy.
Two days later, at the gate of Miaoyinfang.
The mountain mist surged, the bamboo rustled, and the protective array of Miaoyin Pavilion swirled with a pale blue halo.
Inside the guest room, the third stick of the three-tiered sandalwood incense had burned out.
Lin Fan lightly tapped the jade table with his knuckles. The spiritual tea on the table was changed again and again, from "Snow Bud Dew" to "Nine Turns Clouds and Rosy Clouds", and the tea soup had long since cooled down.
Xu Tianyue slammed his teacup on the table:
"Sect Leader Lin, your sect's hospitality has truly broadened my horizons."
Lin Fan's jade slip, which he kept hidden in his sleeve, flashed countless times, but Qin Chengcheng remained silent.
His face was embarrassed. Although he was a genuine elixir cultivator and the other party was a fake one, the other party had come to his door to make the appointment, but the real Qin Chengcheng had not shown up. He was indeed in the wrong.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, please forgive me. Chengcheng has always been willful, sigh—"
"It's okay to be a little willful. Capable girls are all like that. As long as it's not an unintentional encounter, everything is fine, haha."
Xu Tianyue took a sip of tea and said with a half-smile.
He had offered Lin Fan an exceptionally valuable dowry of third-tier resources beforehand, which Lin Fan had accepted. Now that he was coming to propose marriage, it was perfectly legitimate. Facing the True Core cultivator, Lin Fan spoke with confidence.
Instead, Lin Fan felt somewhat embarrassed. He took out a jade slip and sent one last message to Qin Chengcheng:
"You wicked disciple! If you do not return, I will detonate the restrictions on your soul!"
Thirty miles outside the mountain gate, beneath an ancient pine tree, Qin Chengcheng's jade slip gleamed with a faint blue light.
"As expected." A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
These past two days, she arrived at the mountain gate early, not in a hurry to return, but instead, in this secluded place, she replayed the whole story a thousand times over—
From the secret of the soul-binding jade tablet discovered in the hidden compartment of her boudoir, to the ambiguous hints from her master Lin Fan over the years, and then to the sudden marriage proposal from the Jade Dragon Sect, all the clues point in the same direction with uncanny clarity.
"It turns out that the so-called deep bond between master and disciple was nothing but a sordid transaction."
A sudden, biting mountain wind whipped up the hem of her white dress.
Qin Chengcheng closed his eyes and felt the surging soul power within his body—in that blue-green interwoven ocean of consciousness, a strange yet familiar Dao rhythm faintly echoed.
Although the memory is still incomplete, this power is real and undeniable.
"It's time."
She suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils burning with three-colored soul flames.
With a light touch of her toes, she transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the mountain gate.
Over the years, she endured humiliation and was constantly restrained because of a taboo within her soul.
Now, she has been transformed and is no longer a caged bird that can be manipulated by others!
After a while.
At the top of Miaoyinfang Mountain, in the courtyard of the guest hall.
Qin Chengcheng, dressed in white, stood in mid-air, her toes lightly touching the ground as the bamboo forest rustled and moved without wind.
She calmly swept her gaze over Lin Fan, whose face was gloomy, and the Jade Dragon Sect members who sat upright in the guest hall.
"You wicked disciple!"
Lin Fan slammed his hand on the table, shattering the teacup. A wave of True Core Realm pressure surged forth. "You dare delay your engagement ceremony? Is this your way of showing respect?"
Qin Chengcheng had a cold face and a cold demeanor, making her unapproachable to strangers.
"Master, why are you angry? I did not miss the appointed time. Besides, when did this engagement become a matter for you to decide alone?"
"If I wish to find a Daoist partner, I should naturally seek out a talented individual of similar age and with a cultivation level surpassing mine. If they are not outstanding among my peers, Master can arrange blind dates for other junior sisters."
Lin Fan angrily flung his sleeves, pointed at Qin Chengcheng who was standing in mid-air, and shouted sternly:
"Outrageous! My Miaoyin Pavilion cultivates its Dao through music; when did it become your place to presume to judge combat strength? You are utterly arrogant and aloof!"
He stepped aside and extended his arm to introduce the black-robed cultivator beside him, his tone carrying an undeniable air of authority:
"This nephew Zhao Tieshan is a direct disciple of Master Xu of the Jade Dragon Sect. He reached the late Foundation Establishment stage at the age of sixty and holds an important position in the Enforcement Hall. His profound cultivation foundation and upright character are widely praised in the surrounding cultivation world!"
"Such outstanding individuals are willing to condescend to a marriage alliance, which is already more than enough to give you face. Now, in front of Master Xu, do you still dare to act petty? Why don't you go and apologize immediately?"
"Today is the engagement ceremony; you can't act recklessly!"
Qin Chengcheng remained indifferent and calm, unmoved by Lin Fan's words. She stood outside the hall, motionless, and said indifferently:
"As I've said before, I, Qin Chengcheng, only seek partners who are compatible with me and whose age and strength are similar to mine. I am not anyone's appendage."
Lin Fan was about to get angry again,
Zhao Tieshan stepped forward and smiled graciously:
"Fairy Qin's beauty surpasses even that of the past, and I, Zhao, am filled with admiration. Since the fairy is willing to test me, I, Zhao, am willing to learn from her superior skills."
Qin Chengcheng looked at Zhao Tieshan, her tone softening slightly, "Let's make this clear beforehand: if you lose, you'd better know what's good for you."
She returned today primarily to resolve the conflict with her master, not to target the Jade Dragon Sect, Zhao Tieshan, or others.
"Of course, Zhao is more than twenty years older than the fairy, and he mainly engages in combat in the Hall of Law Enforcement. If he is still inferior to the fairy, he should know his own limitations and is truly unworthy of the fairy."
"That's good."
Qin Chengcheng, dressed in flowing white robes, stood suspended in mid-air.
Zhao Tieshan arrived through the air, cupping his fists to Qin Chengcheng: "Please enlighten me, Fairy Qin."
Seeing this, Lin Fan and Xu Tianyue, the two True Immortals present, had no choice but to let the juniors have a chat first.
With a wave of their sleeves, the two immortals instantly created a pale golden magical shield that covered an area of about a hundred feet in radius.
The protective shield was adorned with near-third-tier spiritual energy patterns, effectively isolating the aftershocks of the contest.
Outside the arena, disciples of Miaoyinfang had gathered, whispering amongst themselves.
In an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, Liu Jinjin and Xu Shixian appeared, both injured. Staring at the scene, each felt a growing sense of resentment and anger.
They came today to file a complaint, but the timing is not right yet.
Zhao Tieshan displayed gentlemanly conduct, prompting Qin Chengcheng to take action.
Qin Chengcheng's gaze was cold and clear, and she did not use any magical artifacts. She lightly flicked her jade fingers in the air.
In an instant, seven sound waves solidified and shot towards Zhao Tieshan like plum blossoms in bloom.
The magical power of a late Foundation Establishment cultivator is as profound as an abyss. Although each sound wave is a basic sound wave, it still has a tangible substance and carries extremely strong magical power fluctuations.
After these attacks, Xu Tianyue, who was maintaining a magical shield, immediately lost his smile.
He gave Lin Fan a deep look, a strange look flashing in his eyes. Qin Chengcheng was so strong, he suspected that the other party was setting a trap for him.
Lin Fan also frowned. When did Qin Chengcheng's magical power become so profound?
Zhao Tieshan initially didn't take it seriously, and the Xuan Tie Chong Shan Seal spun in his palm.
But when the first sonic wave struck the seal, his tiger's mouth trembled violently—this casual strike was comparable to the full power of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Five sound waves blasted at him in succession, his sleeves shattered inch by inch, the iron seal in his hand cracked, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Tieshan staggered backward, flying more than ten feet away. His internal energy surged, and his face paled.
Looking again at Qin Chengcheng, who was calmly floating in the air and waiting for him to recover his breath, he frowned even more.
How can he be so strong?
"Qinglong Sword Technique! Fairy, be careful!"
He gritted his teeth, made a hand seal, and the flying sword at his waist was drawn with a "clang".
The dragon pattern on the sword shone with a surge of blue light, actually forming a three-zhang-long dragon-shaped phantom in the void—this was the famous technique he used to kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator when he was of a higher level!
Xu Tianyue nodded slightly from the sidelines.
This sword technique requires the Qinglong Flying Sword to be nurtured with magical power over many years. Each time it is used, it consumes 30% of the magical power, but its power is comparable to a full-force strike from the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Seeing this, Qin Chengcheng remained calm, not using any magic, but simply plucking the strings of her zither with her slender fingers in the air.
"Clang!"
The previously scattered fragments of sound waves suddenly reassembled, condensing into half a celestial melody in the void, forming a continuous whole.
Zhao Tieshan only felt a blur before his eyes, and more than a dozen sonic blades had already pierced through the air and arrived.
These sonic blades may seem simple, but each one strikes precisely at the critical point where the spiritual energy of the Qinglong Sword is circulating. The timing, force, and angle are all just right, without any unnecessary movements.
It's like an adult facing a child.
"Crack!" The first sonic blade struck the sword's edge, and the flow of spiritual energy in the Qinglong Sword momentarily froze.
Immediately afterwards, the sonic blades followed one after another, each strike as precise as a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, accurately dismantling the sword's momentum.
Before the dragon-shaped phantom could fully erupt, it was sliced apart by layers of sound waves and eventually dissipated into specks of spiritual light.
The Qinglong Sword trembled violently and was actually forced back, flying back into Zhao Tieshan's hand.
Zhao Tieshan groaned, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His face changed drastically, clearly indicating that his internal organs had been injured by the residual force of the sonic wave.
He stared at Qin Chengcheng in disbelief. He had seen Qin Chengcheng many times over the years in Huhai Market.
Each time they sensed Qin Chengcheng's cultivation level, it was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
I never expected her to be so well-hidden. She's not just at the late stage of Foundation Establishment; the quality of her magical power is almost at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Moreover, the power of each sonic blade was perfectly controlled, both destroying the enemy and not wasting a single drop of spiritual energy.
Even a casual strike is at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and his mastery of musical techniques is nearly at the level of a "Heavenly Spiritual Root."
Furthermore, the opponent seemed unwilling to "bully the weak," remaining completely still throughout the entire battle and refraining from using magical artifacts, talismans, or other combat aids.
It is evident that his spiritual strength and control over magic are completely superior to mine.
Zhao Tieshan understood that he hadn't just lost; he had been utterly crushed.
His mind raced, finally settling into a bitter smile. He accepted reality, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said:
"To me, Your Excellency's grace is like looking down upon green grass from a mountaintop. I have witnessed it firsthand today. Thank you for your mercy, Your Excellency."
Indeed, Zhao was unaware of his own limitations and was unworthy of the fairy-like beauty.
Zhao Tieshan, his clothes stained with blood, retreated behind Xu Tianyue and remained silent.
The field fell eerily quiet for a moment.
Xu Tianyue and Lin Fan slowly withdrew their magical protective shields, their expressions shifting between light and shadow.
This was a marriage agreement that had been finalized, and the betrothal gifts had already been exchanged, but this unexpected turn of events occurred during the engagement ceremony.
Xu Tianyue secretly transmitted his voice, his tone already carrying displeasure:
"Master Lin, what is the meaning of this?"
The marriage alliance was already agreed upon. Now, your disciple Qin Chengcheng has publicly bullied the deacon of my Jade Dragon Sect's Enforcement Hall. This not only disrespects me but also shows that you treat the marriage alliance between our two sects as a child's game!
Lin Fan was also surprised and doubtful; he had never expected Qin Chengcheng to be so powerful.
But as a True Core cultivator, he absolutely could not show weakness at this moment, and could only respond in a deep voice:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I reminded you before the New Year that Qin Chengcheng should choose a spouse who is both talented and has a good foundation."
Your grand-nephew is hopeless. I told you to replace him, but the result is still the same level.
Is this the true foundation of the Jade Dragon Sect?
"you--!"
Xu Tianyue was furious, but ultimately dared not retaliate openly. The other party was a True Core cultivator, and if he were to truly break off relations, he would be the one to suffer.
"Great! Excellent!"
Xu Tianyue stopped using telepathy and spoke in a cold voice that resonated throughout the entire venue.
"Since Miaoyin Pavilion has no intention of forming a marriage alliance, it is my Jade Dragon Sect that has been too good to be true!"
"Master Lin, please return all the betrothal gifts you received a year ago. Consider today's events as a humiliation I, Xu, brought upon myself!"
His gaze darkened, and his tone grew increasingly harsh:
"However, don't think that just because there are True Core cultivators in Miaoyin Pavilion, you can act recklessly."
"My Jade Dragon Sect has more than one True Core cultivator. The humiliation we suffer today will surely be remembered by others in the future!"
Xu Tianyue, having his pride shattered, didn't bother with pleasantries and made such a public statement, effectively tearing off all pretense of civility.
Lin Fan's face also turned ugly. He was told to return the betrothal gifts, but they had already been used, so how could he return them?
Thinking of this, Lin Fan suppressed his anger and first transmitted his voice to Xu Tianyue:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, please calm down. Let me handle this matter first; there may be a turning point."
He then turned and glared at Qin Chengcheng, his True Core aura suddenly erupting:
"You unfilial disciple! Your nephew Zhao from the Jade Dragon Sect has traveled a thousand miles to propose marriage, and this is how you treat your guest?!"
His voice, like thunder, boomed through the hall, causing the beams and pillars to tremble slightly. "Immediately apologize to Nephew Zhao and complete the engagement ceremony, and I will forgive your past transgressions! Otherwise…"
The word "otherwise" was emphasized heavily, and the spiritual pressure of the True Core cultivator surged towards Qin Chengcheng like a tidal wave.
The guests present were all taken aback—this person was truly enraged.
Qin Chengcheng's divine sense surged, neutralizing the incoming pressure.
She looked up and stared directly at Lin Fan, her eyes no longer showing their former submissiveness.
"Master, I have said before that I will not marry a mediocre person. If all the so-called talents of the Jade Dragon Sect are like this, why should they be destined to be with me?"
"Is it because you accepted those betrothal gifts?"
Although Qin Chengcheng had lost her memories, ever since she discovered in her boudoir that her soul-binding barrier had been subjected to dirty tricks by this master who wanted to sell her for a dowry,
The anger that had been building up inside her for years suddenly exploded.
"Insolence!" Lin Fan's beard and hair stood on end, but he secretly transmitted his voice:
"Qin Chengcheng! Are you tired of living? Do you really think your master has no tricks up his sleeve?"
As he spoke, he activated a wisp of divine thought that shared the same origin as the one hidden within Qin Chengcheng's restriction, and pierced her sea of consciousness like a venomous snake.
Qin Chengcheng sensed that sinister divine thought, painful memories surged up, and her emotions completely erupted:
"Lin Fan!"
Her voice boomed, shaking the hall, no longer the respectful "Master" of the past. "I am mindful of your kindness in nurturing and teaching me, and I originally intended to save face for you—"
"But you're being so aggressive, don't blame me for not giving you face!"
You secretly planted a restriction in my soul, intending to use it to blackmail me into giving up my first Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens Divine Intercourse, and then marry me off to the Jade Dragon Sect, using the betrothal gifts to exchange for resources to cultivate and increase your strength.
You are utterly shameless!
Qin Chengcheng didn't say this through telepathy; he shouted it out in front of everyone from Miaoyinfang and Yulongzong!
Her words caused an uproar in the audience.
Not to mention the disciples below who were just watching, their eyes were wide open in disbelief.
Even Xu Tianyue and Zhao Tieshan couldn't care less about being angry at this moment.
Everyone's gazes were like knives, all aimed at Lin Fan, the sect leader of Miaoyin Pavilion, whose expression had suddenly changed.
He planted a restriction in her soul to blackmail her into having sex with him, and then forced her to marry him off and collect a dowry.
This is quite a big bombshell. Is this really the head of a sect, a Core Formation cultivator?
No wonder Lin Fan refused to return the betrothal gifts.
"Traitor!"
Lin Fan roared, and with a flick of his sleeves, a powerful barrier instantly enveloped the entire area, completely isolating all sounds from inside and outside.
His face was ashen, and the killing intent in his eyes was almost tangible—if such a disgraceful matter were to spread, he, the master of Miaoyin Pavilion, would probably be ridiculed throughout the entire cultivation world!
"How dare you speak to your teacher like that! It's utterly disrespectful!"
His despicable behavior was exposed to Qin Chengcheng, which made him furious and embarrassed.
He turned his head and reluctantly bowed to Xu Tianyue and the others.
"I apologize for making a fool of myself today. I, Lin, am going to clean house today, so please step back a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan was filled with rage and turned to look at Qin Chengcheng.
"You traitor! I can give you what you have today, and I can take everything back from you. What do you mean by the number one Foundation Establishment stage immortal in the cultivation world? Without my nurturing, you're nothing but bullshit!"
Since you have acted so rebelliously today, don't blame me for crippling your cultivation and expelling you from the sect!
As he spoke, he unleashed a powerful third-tier Dan power, blasting it towards Qin Chengcheng.
The powerful burst of internal energy caused everyone present to feel a tightness in their hearts, even Xu Tianyue, who was a pseudo-core cultivator, felt immense pressure.
Lin Fan was truly enraged, and his attack showed no sign of holding back.
However, it is somewhat shameful in the cultivation world for a True Core cultivator to attack a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but since they are master and disciple and this is a matter of cleaning up the sect, others cannot say anything.
Faced with Lin Fan's devastating attack, which seemed to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, Qin Chengcheng smiled sadly, feeling a sudden sense of relief.
Such a master is better off not having.
With a light flick of her hand, a streak of blue light flew out from Lin Xiaoyu's waist—it was the top-grade magical artifact, the Burnt Tail Qin, which was covered in scorch marks!
"Zheng—"
The moment the strings vibrated, a third-order divine sense erupted.
Visible sound waves condensed into seven glass barriers in the void, each of which was filled with mysterious runes.
Lin Fan's Danli rainbow light collided with it, producing a metallic clang, and blazing sparks flew everywhere like rain.
"Third-tier divine sense!" Lin Fan was slightly surprised. "So you've grown wings. No wonder you dared to disobey your master's orders."
Xu Tianyue, who was watching the drama unfold, was also surprised. To cultivate a third-order divine sense during the Foundation Establishment stage? Such talent is probably one in a thousand years!
He turned to look at Zhao Tieshan beside him. No wonder he was restrained at every turn during their fight. It was like a child with a wooden sword fighting against a veteran general. The fact that the other party let him escape unscathed meant that he was holding back.
Seeing this, Zhao Tieshan could only smile wryly. Qin Chengcheng was so capable, no wonder she was unwilling to marry him. Not to mention that Xu Shixian, that good-for-nothing, was not good enough for her, even he was not good enough for her!
Other lower-level cultivators were blown hundreds of feet away by the aftershocks of the battle between the two.
At this point, they could only observe from afar; they weren't even allowed to get close.
Xu Shixian's eyes widened in shock. My goodness, Qin Chengcheng is so fierce! She can withstand a Core Formation expert. Luckily, I failed to marry her, otherwise, I'm afraid my married life would be miserable.
Beside him, Liu Jinjin was also dumbfounded, deeply regretting her earlier actions in helping to destroy Qin Chengcheng's cave. No wonder Qin Chengcheng could cripple her so easily; she was already that strong.
"Hmph! Foundation Establishment is still just Foundation Establishment. So what if he has third-tier divine sense?"
Lin Fan sneered, his true core power surging like a raging torrent.
He formed hand seals, and a torrent of solidified green wood magic power erupted, causing the air to explode under its strain.
With this attack, he had used eighty percent of his strength, determined to suppress this traitor in one fell swoop!
Qin Chengcheng's face turned pale, and his late-stage Foundation Establishment magic power was being steadily defeated by the pressure of the True Core cultivator.
will,
Suddenly, the light in her brows surged, and her third-order divine consciousness transformed into a blue-green halo that flowed around her body—that was a special soul power containing the dual characteristics of wood and water!
"Buzz—"
A strange scene unfolded.
Her divine sense and magical power merged perfectly, forming a barrier as thin as a cicada's wing in front of her.
Lin Fan's devastating attack, a burst of energy capable of shattering mountains and breaking peaks, was blocked only three inches in front of Qin Chengcheng.
Everyone was shocked. How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator possibly withstand an attack from a Core Formation cultivator head-on?!
Qin Chengcheng's method of fusing magical power with divine sense can temporarily raise her defensive capabilities to the third tier.
However, its consumption is terrifying; a casual strike from the opponent can consume nearly 30-40% of Qin Chengcheng's divine sense.
Lin Fan seemed to have discerned the special attributes within the opponent's soul, as well as the immense power resulting from the fusion of magical energy.
Finally realizing something, his expression changed.
"Impossible! How could your soul be...!"
"Ha! Surprised? I've broken the restriction you placed on my soul!"
Blood trickled from the corner of Qin Chengcheng's mouth, and a disdainful sneer appeared on his pale face.
"Lin Fan, you old fool, you only managed to form a low-grade True Core, right? This is the only level you've reached!"
Since you can't kill me, then I, Qin Cheng, will leave today!
As he spoke, Qin Chengcheng used the remaining half of his divine soul power to withstand a bombardment from the True Core's power, creating a passage to escape.
In mid-air, Qin Chengcheng suddenly coughed up another mouthful of blood. Her aura plummeted, indicating that she was seriously injured.
Even so, while fleeing, he still didn't forget to shout:
"You old bastard, you wanted to take advantage of me, humiliate my purity, and even sold me to the Jade Dragon Sect to pocket the betrothal gifts to support your cultivation. You are a disgrace to the Wonderful Sound Pavilion."
Today, I, Qin Chengcheng, am temporarily leaving Miaoyin Pavilion, but this is not an act of betrayal!
The day I reach the Core Formation stage will be the day you, old geezer, get out of the Wonderful Sound Pavilion!
I don't know why, but even though the injury was extremely serious, when I uttered those words about Old Deng,
She felt incredibly comfortable.
After living a life of suppression for so many years, at this moment, she finally became herself.
But where did the term "Old Deng" come from, and why do I call him "Old Deng"?
A question of this kind flashed through Qin Chengcheng's mind, but he couldn't recall any related memories.
The scene was deathly silent.
Qin Chengcheng was actually able to withstand two attacks from a Core Formation cultivator, especially the second attack, which was nearly at full power and contained a True Core. She didn't hold back at all, and even Xu Tianyue felt that he might not be able to block it.
Qin Chengcheng not only blocked the attack, but also escaped.
The blue and green light-colored divine soul energy she used at the last moment could actually merge with the power of magic, temporarily enhancing the power of magic. Could that be the legendary Five Elements Divine Sense?
Although Xu Tianyue was a fake Core Formation cultivator, he was from a Core Formation sect and still had some knowledge.
How is it possible for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to possess such a high level of divine sense?
Lin Fan stood there, his expression shifting between light and shadow. His hands trembled involuntarily in his sleeves—not from anger, but from fear.
The blue and green characteristics of his soul were clearly signs of the premature awakening of the Five Elements Divine Sense, which was even higher than the quality of his current divine sense!
Could it be that he used the Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens technique?
But that's impossible.
The restriction on her soul was found by her master in an ancient cultivator's cave, and even the Phoenix Dance of Nine Heavens technique couldn't break it.
Unless, by some stroke of luck, she encounters a powerful Soul Dao expert in the late Core Formation stage who helps her resolve the issue.
Regardless of the reason, Lin Fan cannot afford to offend the person behind the scenes who was able to break the restrictions on her soul and elevate her soul to its current level.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
"Master Lin," Xu Tianyue hesitated before speaking, but Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
"That's enough for today."
Lin Fan's voice was hoarse, and even carried a hint of dejection.
He watched the disappearing light in the sky, a complex look flashing across his eyes.
Letting her go might be the best option.
Even without the teacher-student relationship, at least the debt of gratitude for being raised still remains.
If we meet again someday, and she truly has a great opportunity, it won't come to a life-or-death struggle.
……
It's almost the end of the month, please give me some monthly votes!
