The men's expressions changed, and the next second, they clutched their buttocks and rushed into the woods like mad dogs.

Watching Zhang Huaiyang and the others leave, Qiyue's lips curled into a wicked smile, and the other villagers breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiyue wanted to ask those people something, but when they saw her approaching, they acted as if they had seen a ghost, hurriedly ran back to their own homes, and slammed the door shut.

Qiyue was taken aback and blinked.

Uh... it seems these people think they're the same as those arrogant Qingyang Sect and Li family members who bully them.

She didn't rush to leave. Thinking of Zhang Huaiyang and the others' thoughts, she concealed her figure and aura and sat cross-legged in a cave in the back mountain of the village.

She doesn't want to let go of anyone who wants her dead, anyone who insults her, not even those who have had such thoughts. She's waiting, waiting for nightfall.

Zhang Huaiyang and his accomplices squatted in the woods, venting their anger in a rude and uncouth manner, their eyes filled with sinister intent.

"Damn it, it must be that tuberculosis bastard's doing! When I get out of here... Ouch... It hurts so much! When I get out of here, I'll kill him!"

“I think we can go to the Li family and ask that good-for-nothing young master! Let him help my senior brother find someone! We can also squeeze some money out of him while we’re at it, what do you think, Senior Brother Zhang…”

"Fuck you! Talk is talk! Get that hand off me, you son of a bitch!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Senior Brother Zhang, I didn't mean to..."

"It wasn't intentional, you son of a bitch! Go fucking get over there!"

"No, senior brother, I'm in such a hurry, I can't move..."

"Damn it! I'll kill you right now!!"

"Senior brother! Senior brother! I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll leave, I'll leave! I'll leave right now!!"

"Can you shut up! Turn your back!"

Zhang Huaiyang's furious curses echoed through the woods.

With the Holy Spirit Root and the Immaculate Body, Qiyue's cultivation progressed very quickly. As her cultivation reached the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, she entered the ranks of Spirit Talisman Masters in the art of talismans.

The natal talisman she had condensed in her sea of ​​consciousness from the beginning had already gained sentience. It could be used to attack and defend with mental power, allowing her to sense danger and stop the damage in time even if she was not familiar with the original plot.

Spirit Talisman Masters in the Upper Realm are highly respected, and from this moment on, Qiyue gave herself another identity: Spirit Talisman Master.

Night fell quickly. Seeing Zhang Huaiyang and the others lying on the bed, Qiyue silently sneaked into their room and used puppetry to control Zhang Huaiyang.

Using Zhang Huaiyang's silent killing of the others, they also located the Li family members.

"Senior Brother Zhang, what brings you here?" It was Li Yan who had returned from the crystal mine who spoke. Facing Zhang Huaiyang, a shy smile flashed across Li Yan's face.

It seems she really likes this guy.

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes dangerously, a shadowy glint flashing within them. She would be happy to die at the hands of the one she loved.

Qiyue's puppetry skills had made a new breakthrough in the Upper Realm. With a thought, Li Yan was pierced through by Zhang Huaiyang's sword in the next instant.

"Pfft!!!" Li Yan coughed up a mouthful of blood in pain. Facing Zhang Huaiyang, whose cultivation was two levels higher than hers, she had no power to fight back and died at Zhang Huaiyang's hands.

Before she died, she crushed the jade slip in her hand to notify the elders of the Li family.

Before leaving, Qiyue gave Zhang Huaiyang her last order: to kill all members of the Li family and the Qingyang Sect without mercy.

Looking at the map Zhang Huaiyang had taken, Qiyue found the location from the original story. Once she arrived there, she would be able to find the way to the Tengshe clan.

The scene depicted in the picture is set in a small town.

The town is quite special; it's a melting pot of all sorts of people, including mythical beasts, demons, mortals, immortal sects, and aristocratic families. Yet, no one dares to cause trouble in the town, simply because it's under the control of the Immortal Palace, and rumored to be the birthplace of a powerful figure from the Immortal Palace.

The Immortal Palace is similar to the agents of the Heavenly Dao. They govern the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and are reincarnations of one generation after another.

The so-called reincarnated ones are actually those with good fortune. Some are reborn, some are transmigrated, and so on. They are favored by the Heavenly Dao, born with the great fortune of the Great Dao, and trample the world under their feet. Without exception, they all have various legends and eventually become the supreme beings.

Entering the Immortal Palace, becoming a lackey of Heaven, manipulating the mortals, and looking down upon all living beings.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Qi Yue's lips. This was something she had recently come to understand, and what was the difference between this and raising Gu poison?

Legend has it that a Gu keeper would put all the highly poisonous Gu together and let them kill each other. The last one to survive would become the Gu King, a one-in-a-million creature.

Everyone trembles at the mention of Gu, but no matter how powerful the Gu King is, he is nothing more than a tool for the Gu keeper.

Thinking of how Xia Wanqing fought his way up to the Immortal Realm in the original story, completely transcending his mortal body, becoming a supreme being, residing in the Immortal Realm, and ruling over all living beings, a look of disgust rose in Qi Yue's eyes.

Both the Gu King and the Gu breeder are disgusting beings. Such people should not exist. Why can't they control their own fate, and the fate of the world?

Her eyes churned with intense hatred, but after a long while, her gaze and heart returned to calm. She walked forward; once she passed through the town, she would reach the Tengshe clan.

A shadow fell before her, and an unfamiliar face appeared in front of her.

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever seen a girl with dimples on her cheeks who has just ascended from the lower realm? She probably looks like this."

As the man spoke, he unfolded a portrait in front of Qiyue. Qiyue's eyes lit up; the person in the portrait was herself.

However, the surprise in her eyes quickly faded, and looking at the person in front of her, she said expressionlessly, "Never seen him before."

[Yeah, right!]

Um?

Le Luoxi, who had already planned to lure the man out and kill him, was taken aback. Looking at the stranger in front of her, those two words echoed in her mind, and her eyes lit up with joy.

"Junior Sister! It's me! It's Senior Sister!"

She excitedly grabbed Qiyue's hand and stuffed the notebook that Qiyue had given her in the mortal realm into Qiyue's hand, which startled Qiyue.

Overwhelmed with joy, she excitedly hugged her transformed senior sister, her voice softening instinctively, "Senior sister! Senior sister, I've been looking for you all!"

“I’ve been looking for you too.” Le Luoxi gently stroked Qiyue’s head.

Both of them were very happy, but at the same time, they also felt uneasy, like sitting on pins and needles, like having a fishbone stuck in their throat.

The next second, the two separated as if ejected.

He was surrounded by the strange looks and various discussions of passing cultivators, divine beasts, demons, and mortals.

"Shocking! Two grown men hugging and calling each other 'senior sister' and 'junior sister'! Is this a sign of twisted humanity or moral decay?!"

"Holy crap! I just happened to be passing by; could I be part of their scheme too?!"

"Does anyone know which sect these two belong to? I'm suddenly a little curious, could their senior and junior brothers be women?"

"So the major sects have such elaborate methods!"
