"Master... Master..."
In the Gong Family’s back garden, Master Miejue’s mouth kept bleeding as she lay on the ground.
Her soul was struck, and she felt as if she could lose consciousness at any mont.
"How did you get injured?"
The door was pushed open, and Fairy Xifeng, stepping out, looked at Master Miejue with confusion.
Logically speaking, she was an expert on the Tiger List, perhaps not top-tier in combat, but unmatched in Jiangning.
"Could it be... Lin Fan hasn’t beco a vegetable?"
"Master... Lin Fan indeed beca a vegetable... I was injured by... Zhao Jiaqi, the Dragon Emperor’s granddaughter!"
Master Miejue, sitting directly on the ground, looked pale as she faced her master.
"Injured by a Taoist who has never ranked? Are you still my disciple?"
Fairy Xifeng frowned upon hearing this.
She had seen Zhao Jiaqi, whose strength wasn’t remarkable. By all ans, she shouldn’t be a match for Master Miejue.
"I’m sorry, Master... I indeed disgraced our sect... Sohow, her strength surged... and she used the Ethereal Void Technique unexpectedly to attack ... That’s why I suffered a great loss!"
Master Miejue hurriedly explained.
"The Ethereal Void Technique!"
Upon hearing this, Fairy Xifeng frowned deeply.
This cultivation technique was not sothing ordinary people could practice.
"Yes, the Ethereal Void Technique... she attacked when I was unprepared... Now it has destabilized my soul... Please save my life, Master, and impart your True Qi to ... Help stabilize my foundation!"
Soul injuries were taboo in cultivation.
But if one could receive Qi from an expert in one’s own sect, it was the best redy.
Thus, Master Miejue had co seeking help from Fairy Xifeng.
However, upon hearing this, she frowned deeper.
Because of practicing evil skills, her energy was no longer akin to that of soone from the sa sect as Master Miejue.
Fairy Xifeng pondered briefly and said, "I’ve recently erred in my practice and also injured my core energy, so I can’t heal you just yet. You go back and rest for a few days. After I recover, I’ll help you with imparting Qi."
"Master... you’re not imparting True Qi to ... could it be because you have practiced the Gong Family’s Evil Skill?"
Unexpectedly, Master Miejue directly revealed the truth.
She had suspected before that after losing the Black Blood Tripod, she should have died long ago. Yet, not only was she still alive, but her strength felt even greater than before, especially the allure between her eyebrows, hardly resembling soone who practiced cultivation.
"Nonsense, how can you speak to like that!"
With her disciple exposing her secret thoughts, Fairy Xifeng’s eyes carried a chill.
This matter absolutely couldn’t be leaked, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Master... we belong to a righteous sect, but now, in what you wear, where is the semblance of a cultivator... Master, you must not be led astray... persuaded by others, would that not be deviating to the demonic path, transforming into a puppet for the Gong Family!"
Master Miejue looked at Fairy Xifeng in pain.
This ability to maintain youth, wasn’t it the Evil Skill of the Gong Family?
She had been suspicious before, but never had solid evidence. However, this ti, the refusal to even impart True Qi was definitely suspicious.
"Shut up, insubordinate disciple, I am your master, how can you talk to like this!"
Fairy Xifeng’s face flushed red with embarrassnt as she stared at Master Miejue.
This was sothing she knew the gravity of, but between eternal youth and soul dispersion, she had no choice. Remaining alive was more important than anything.
"It’s precisely because you are my master that I must urge you to nd your ways. We are cultivators, a righteous sect. If our founding master knew you secretly practiced Evil Skills and harnessed others’ essence, he would certainly take drastic asures himself, and your reputation would then be completely obliterated... Master... wake up... don’t be deceived by the Gong Family any longer!"
Master Miejue looked at Fairy Xifeng, who despite her ancient age, looked to be in her early twenties, a defiance of nature.
Previously, it was the Black Blood Tripod that supported her, but now it was the True Yuan of countless n.
If she continued this way, she was bound to beco a demon of the era.
"Shut your mouth!"
Angrily embarrassed, Fairy Xifeng waved her hand, and a gust scented with fragrance whizzed towards Master Miejue.
Already heavily injured, Master Miejue had no chance to dodge and was abruptly knocked over ten ters away by the palm strike.
"Master..."
Blood spurted out, and Master Miejue looked at Fairy Xifeng in despair.
This confird her suspicions even more.
"You... you..."
Fairy Xifeng had not expected such an outco either.
Seeing Master Miejue wounded, she couldn’t help but feel heartache.
After all, she had watched her grow up from a young age, and their ntor-disciple bond was deeper than most.
But now, Master Miejue had discovered her secret.
So, she did not know what to do.
As Fairy Xifeng hesitated, a figure suddenly shot toward them rapidly.
He struck Master Miejue on the back of her neck.
"What are you doing!"
Seeing that the person was Gong Qiliang, Fairy Xifeng was shocked.
It was one thing for her to do the striking—others could not.
"Fairy, please forgive . I had no choice, your secrets must not be revealed!"
Gong Qiliang quickly looked at Fairy Xifeng with a humble expression.
His words left her unsure of what to do next.
"But... Master Miejue is my disciple... I can’t simply... I can’t bear it!"
After a while, Fairy Xifeng finally spoke.
She couldn’t bear to part with Master Miejue, but she was even less willing to die.
Master Miejue had always been strong-willed since she was young, there was no dealing with things she didn’t accept.
"Fairy, don’t worry. I have thought of a way. I will find a place to imprison her for the ti being. When your supernatural powers are fully developed, we can release her. By then, even if others find out, it won’t matter."
Gong Qiliang’s words made Fairy Xifeng frown.
She finally sighed and turned to enter the room.
"You handle it. And bring three more doses of dregs, tomorrow night, I’ll harvest Lin Fan’s True Yuan!"
"Yes!"
Watching the door close slowly, a cold smile crossed Gong Qiliang’s lips.
He lifted the unconscious Master Miejue onto his shoulder and strode toward the other side of the back garden.
Arriving in front of the rockery, he looked around to ensure no one was following before pressing the switch.
As the secret door opened, he quickly stepped inside the hidden chamber.
"Elder, I’ve brought you so good stuff!"
Gong Qiliang hastened to Nangong Haoqin’s side and dropped the unconscious Master Miejue on the ground.
"This one’s age is still pristine, not bad at all!"
Looking at Master Miejue lying there with her eyes tightly shut, Nangong Haoqin sneered.
Although she appeared sowhat aged, her True Yuan was exceptionally strong.
He then grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up.
"What... what are you going to do..."
The intense pain suddenly forced Master Miejue’s eyes open, but her question went unanswered.
Moreover, everything that followed would be even more terrifying than hell for her.
Because Nangong Haoqin had grabbed her clothing, and with a strong pull of his arms.
"Rip!"
Wailing sounds echoed within the secret chamber.
Several hours later, Nangong Haoqin finally left the room, satisfied.
And the dried-up corpse on the ground was Master Miejue.
