Following the guidance of the Heavenly Mystery Talisman, Yu Qingtan kept delving deeper into Yunhua Mountain Range, maintaining the Trace Concealnt Technique along the way, and stealthily eliminating any mbers of the Demon Race she deed obnoxious.
Unbeknownst to her, as she continued to slay demons and eradicate evil, she ventured deep into the inner reaches of the mountains, the territory of clans overseen by Demon Kings, yet she did not feel the end point of the talisman's guidance.
Yu Qingtan beca even more careful and cautious, refraining from further attacks. One day, as she was hastening along using the Five Elents Qiankun Escape, she suddenly sensed a strong surge of Spiritual Power up ahead.
Yu Qingtan imdiately went on alert, hid underground, and after drawing closer, she quietly observed with her Divine Sense. She discovered that in the half-sky next to a peak ahead, a fierce magical battle was unfolding between a human and a demon.
Yu Qingtan felt a surge of elation, for she realized that the guidance of the Heavenly Mystery Talisman was centered on this person. Moreover, Yu Qingtan recognized her—a beautiful woman in a white long dress patterned with purple flowers, the hidden genius of the Extre Path Demon Sect—Hua Ruxue.
Hua Ruxue was a Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivator, who represented the Extre Path Demon Sect in the previous combat event against the Wendao Sect on the fighting stage, where she was easily defeated by Yu Qingtan.
Facing off against Hua Ruxue was an enormous eagle. The eagle was a Fourth Stage Mid-Level Demon King; it was the sovereign of the Coldwing Ice-feathered Eagle clan, with a formidable appearance, its wings unfolding like dark clouds covering the sky. Its wings shimred with the luster of ice, indicating their extre hardness.
Its eyes were like two cold stars, glinting sharply, and its pointed beak betrayed a bloody cruelty. The Coldwing Ice-feathered Eagle clan was the ruling clan of this region, and the Eagle King itself was also considered a tyrant within the Yunhua Mountain Range.
At this mont, Hua Ruxue and the Coldwing Ice-feathered Eagle King were locked in an intense battle in mid-air, while on the ground were two Early Fourth Stage Coldwing Ice-feathered Eagles, frozen solid and of unknown life or death status.
The Coldwing Ice-feathered Eagles were a demon race proficient in ice abilities, but obviously, they were no match for Hua Ruxue, who specialized in the way of ice. With three against one, two had already lost their combat power, leaving only the Eagle King struggling to hold on.
Hua Ruxue's hair and dress fluttered in the wind like a celestial being. In her hands, her Lifebound Artifact, the Hanpo Ice Crystal Sword, transford into a streak of icy blue light, slashing through the sky with an overwhelming chill.
As Hua Ruxue perford the Hanpo Sword Dance, her movents were agile, and the sword light flickered. With each swing of her sword, cold air overflowed, frosting the surrounding air with a layer of ri.
On the other hand, the Coldwing Ice-feathered Eagle King fought fiercely against Hua Ruxue with its formidable body and sharp claws and beak. Sotis it soared high with a sweep of its wings, other tis it dived swiftly, each attack carrying astonishing power.
However, Hua Ruxue had an even more powerful Dao Technique at her disposal—the Hanpo Ice Sealing. When she exhibited this technique, it seed as though the entire sky was enveloped by a thick layer of ice.
Under the influence of the chilling aura, the Eagle King's movents beca significantly slower, and Hua Ruxue seized the opportunity to launch a fierce offensive, forcing the eagle to retreat step by step.
As the Coldwing Ice-feathered Eagle King was on the verge of defeat, a decisive glint flashed in Hua Ruxue's eyes. With a swift evasion, she dodged the Eagle King's fierce pounce and proceeded to form hand signs, murmuring incantations.
The Hanpo Ice Crystal Sword traced a mystical arc in the air and then transford into a blinding spear of ice light, heading straight for the Eagle King.
Sohow sensing the impending doom, the Eagle King found itself with nowhere to escape. When the ice light struck, the Eagle King's entire body was instantly encased in thick ice, transforming it into a massive icy boulder. Hua Ruxue exhaled a long breath, a smile of victory spreading across her face.
However, just at that mont, a sudden surge of powerful demonic energy erupted from within the ice block. Hua Ruxue's expression changed; she hadn't expected that the Frost Wing Ice Feather Eagle King could still self-destruct its Demon Core after being frozen solid by her. It was already too late to stop it.
Hua Ruxue quickly retreated, simultaneously drawing upon her spiritual power to form an ice wall to shield herself and pulled out a blanket-like defensive Taoist Instrunt to wrap around herself.
"Boom!" A loud explosion occurred as the ice block shattered, sending a violent shockwave towards Hua Ruxue. As it happened so fast, Hua Ruxue hadn't managed to escape far; the ice wall held for only a fraction of a second before it fell apart, and Hua Ruxue was sent flying backward, spitting blood.
Had it not been for the protection of the Taoist-instrunt blanket, Hua Ruxue would have been either severely wounded or even killed. Despite this protection, she still crashed into the ground, creating a crater about three ters deep.
At that ti, Yu Qingtan, who had been hiding in the shadows, saw her opportunity and imdiately used the Five Elents Qiankun Escape to arrive just a ter below Hua Ruxue. Raising her cultivation level to the late stage of the Nascent Soul, she activated her spiritual power and cast the Mind Immobilizing Spell containing the origins of the soul, space, and ti.
An invisible wave emitted from her hands, silently enveloping the injured Hua Ruxue. Engrossed in defending against the aftermath of the Demon Core's explosion, Hua Ruxue didn't notice Yu Qingtan's sneak attack. Her body stiffened, then she beca motionless, like a wax statue.
Seeing this, Yu Qingtan was delighted and imdiately took out a Fourth Stage spirit-sealing talisman. She infused it with spiritual power, activated the talisman, and placed it on Hua Ruxue's forehead. Then, Yu Qingtan struck the back of Hua Ruxue's neck, knocking her unconscious.
Yu Qingtan gathered the storage items from her body, perford the Great Purification Technique to purify them, threw the unconscious Hua Ruxue into the System Space, and then left the area using the Bleeding Thousand Miles Dao Technique.
Fighting two Fourth Stage juvenile Frost Wing Ice Feather Eagles was uninteresting, and the self-destruction of the Frost Wing Ice Feather Eagle King had made too much noise. It was likely that a large number of Demonic Beasts would soon be attracted to the site, and if a Fifth Stage Demon Venerable ca, that would be troubleso.
Inside a cave within the Yunhua Mountain Range, Yu Qingtan released Hua Ruxue, thoroughly sealed her cultivation, and then slapped her awake with two palm strikes.
"Who are you? Do you know who I am? How dare you treat
this way!" Hua Ruxue demanded fiercely while looking at the strange man before her, sensing that her cultivation had been sealed.
This man was naturally Yu Qingtan disguised using the Reincarnation Mantra, appearing as she did in her previous life but dressed in the robes of the Cultivation World.
"Of course I know you, Hua Ruxue, the disciple of the Ice Jade Venerable from the Extre Path Demon Sect!" Yu Qingtan said, pinching Hua Ruxue's chin and speaking with a light laugh.
"Hmph, now that I'm in your hands, do what you will!" Hua Ruxue turned her head away, breaking free from Yu Qingtan's grasp and spoke with determination.
Yu Qingtan, unbothered, continued with a smile, "I went to a lot of trouble to capture you, not to kill you!"
"You bastard!" Realizing a certain possibility, Hua Ruxue felt a surge of panic. She was still a virgin, and the thought of being violated... but it seed she was powerless to resist. As these thoughts crossed her mind, tears began to flow from her eyes.
"Tell
everything you've experienced and know!" Yu Qingtan's voice was cold, bringing a glimr of hope to Hua Ruxue—it was just this.
"Don't even think about lying, for I have a Fourth Stage Truth Talisman! If you cooperate, I might spare your life, but if you deceive , I'll degrade you before I kill you," Yu Qingtan threatened, seeing through Hua Ruxue's thoughts.
