She was secretly thinking of a way to escape from the predicament.

Underground escape!

She quietly sacrificed her fist-sized Nascent Soul, which had a blood-red golden elixir in its mouth and had already disappeared into the ground. The Nascent Soul then gradually seeped into the golden elixir.

The golden elixir glowed with blood, absorbing and exhaling vital energy, and gradually turned into a Nascent Soul bead.

The Nascent Soul Pearl disappeared at a high speed underground like a ghost.

The female demon cultivator had made up her mind, even at the risk of destroying her physical body, in order to preserve her Nascent Soul and the blood-refined golden elixir.

"You're playing tricks on me?"

Huo Yahan frowned slightly, and she flicked her slender jade fingers, creating a dense patch of bright golden light spots, which gathered into an exquisite giant lotus in mid-air. As it spun, the violent energy swept across the world and seemed to slowly float towards the female demon cultivator.

Female demon cultivator: “???”

Everyone: “???”

The golden lotus had nine petals, and contained nine rays of divine light. Ninth-grade golden lotus? The demon cultivator's face turned pale. The sudden killing move caught her off guard. The golden lotus looked beautiful and extraordinary, unlike any ordinary thing. It had reached the ninth-grade supreme realm, but the energy contained in it was so terrifying that it made her palpitate.

An inexplicable sense of oppression enveloped the female demon cultivator as the huge golden lotus approached in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, she was no ordinary person. Before she had time to think, she used the half-air-conditioning turn method in time, changing from offense to defense, and transformed into a huge green dragon a thousand feet long. The blood-red dragon eyes shot out lightning and fire, and all the scales on the dragon's body were reflective, and half of the snake scales were still there.

Lightning flashed around the dragon's body, interweaving into an electric net, heading towards the golden lotus.

Lightning, ground net! At the moment when her dragon body wrapped in the lightning net touched the golden lotus, the golden lotus exploded with a deafening sound, and the entire burning bamboo sea was swallowed up by the dazzling golden light at this moment.

In the suddenly expanding golden ocean, a huge and disheveled figure flew backwards like a dead snake, knocking down a ten-mile bamboo forest, and smashing heavily on a rock barrier, embedding itself deeply into it...

When the golden light faded, Huo Yahan stood alone like a fairy, with fluttering clothes.

It was surprisingly quiet!

"What kind of magic was that just now? It was so powerful..."

Xiaorou said in a trembling voice.

The green dragon, covered in blood, twisted its thousand-foot-long body, and the Dao principles that were inadvertently released during its struggle continuously caused the surrounding space to collapse.

"Still want to struggle to the death?"

"Sun and Moon Wheel!"

Huo Yahan pressed one hand in the air and formed a seal with the other hand. A huge bright moon and sun condensed in front of him. The sun and the moon rotated, bringing with them a terrifying yin and yang force, which heavily bombarded the dragon.

The ground also cracked, soil splashed, and a huge chasm appeared.

The dragon's soul trembled violently, and its green dragon scales that looked like cast metal were shattered. Golden dragon blood flowed all over its body, and it looked so miserable never before.

At this moment, it could no longer hold on. Under the pressure of the extremely powerful energy, its huge body rapidly shrank to the size of a small green snake. Huo Yahan grabbed it in mid-air and placed it in the palm of her hand.

Huo Yahan's magic suppressed the little dragon so much that it could not move, and it could only collapse in her palm.

"Your physical body is destroyed. Do you think your Nascent Soul can escape?"

It turned out that under the bombardment of the Sun and Moon Wheels just now, the Nascent Soul Pearl of the female demon cultivator could not escape even underground.

The terrifying force of the bombardment shook it out of the ground and was caught in Huo Yahan's other palm.

The dragon was terrified and lost all hope. He said in a trembling voice: "Great Emperor, please spare my life! Great Emperor, please spare my life! But please destroy my body and spare my Nascent Soul."

The physical body is easy to rebuild after it is destroyed, but once the Nascent Soul is destroyed, it is difficult to rebuild it.

With a loud "bang", the blood-red Nascent Soul bead was crushed by Huo Yahan like an egg, and the broken Nascent Soul liquid inside flowed all over the floor like egg white.

With his Nascent Soul destroyed, the dragon fell into extreme despair.

Unfortunately, despair has no color at this moment.

The body of the little snake in Huo Yahan's hand condensed again and turned into a small earthworm.

Huo Yahan threw the little earthworm to the ground with disdain.

"Considering your cultivation, it is not easy. I will only leave you a mortal body. You can no longer transform into a dragon or snake in your next life. You can only be a small earthworm in the ground, never seeing the sun. Once you encounter the sun, your body will be destroyed."

The little earthworm swam a few times, then quickly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

Xiaorou and Zhu Ziwen both prostrated themselves on the ground.

"Thank you, Goddess, for saving me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!"

Huo Yahan said: "Wenquxing, you don't have to be so polite! I have always been disgusted by the injustice in the world. Wenquxing failed to pass the imperial examination after coming down to earth. This is unheard of and is unbelievable."

"Don't worry, this imperial examination will be as you wish."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind words."

"Xiao Rou is kind to you. But do you know her identity?"

"I don't know, please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."

"Let Xiaorou tell you her identity herself. The room you live in was set up with a space teleportation array by a female demon cultivator. Xiaorou's family was unable to crack it, but they had confined the power of the array to the west window. But you refused to listen to the advice and insisted on opening the west window. As a result, you came to the dangerous place where the snake demon cultivators practiced thousands of miles away."

"I was confused and couldn't control myself for a moment."

"Forget it. I'll give you a space teleportation stone. You two can return to the starting point smoothly. You can continue to participate in the imperial examination."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Wenquxing, I have an idea. Are you willing to do it?"

"Please speak clearly, Queen. If you have an order, no one dares to disobey it."

"It depends on your willingness. We are all warriors in Zizhi Peak. We want to accept you, the treasure that suppresses the Wen Palace, as our disciple. What do you think?"

"I am deeply grateful."

The scholar bowed in admiration.

"My master has a limited number of disciples, and without his consent, I cannot make the decision on his behalf. If my master does not accept you, you can only be my disciple and become my master's grandson. This is very unfair to you, Wenquxing. Are you willing?"

"I am willing. My life was saved by the Empress. I am grateful to the Empress for not abandoning me and accepting me as her disciple. I am so happy that I cannot wait to hear about my grievances."

"That's great!"

Huo Yahan took out a stone and put it in his hand

"Um."

"You now have two teleportation stones. One for each of you. You can go back for now."

"I'll come pick you up after you pass the exam."

"Thank you, Queen!"

"Where's your landscape painting?"

The scholar searched for a long time and finally found the painting in the corner of the bamboo forest where he had just stayed. Unfortunately, the painting had been burned by fire and became incomplete.

"Oh, here it is."

"This landscape painting was created by Wuweidao. It is quite spiritual. Half of the star power formed in your body was actually stimulated by this painting. You should keep it well, it will be of use to you in the future."

"yes."

"Okay, let's say goodbye now. See you later."

In the shadow of a golden lotus, Huo Yahan's beautiful figure gradually disappeared.

"Let's go, idiot! The Empress has left!"

The two stood up from the ground, and Zhu Ziwen handed a teleportation stone to Xiaorou.
