"It is my great honor to cooperate with you, Fairy. Now, tell me, who in the Dan Sect do you intend to deal with?" Chonghua pretended not to know, perfectly cooperating with Jun Luoying to avoid arousing her vigilance and rebellious mentality.
In fact, Jun Luoying is a person with a fairly upright stance.
If it weren't for her almost pathological possessiveness towards Ling Qing, Chonghua really wouldn't have been able to find any weakness in her that he could exploit.
Therefore, even if Jun Luoying is arrogant, Chonghua can tolerate her in order to make use of the Jun family as a great help.
He even acted with her, pretending not to know that she was going to deal with Han Yuzong.
"Hmph, it seems your information network isn't that good," Jun Luoying mocked Chonghua, saying, "Ling Qing has already returned to the Hanyu Sect, and Yunxiao has gone back with him. They're currently heading to the Southern Region, presumably to witness Yun Yao's ascension to the Pill Saint realm and her succession as sect leader. I think you, like me, don't want to see the Hanyu Sect and the Pill Sect form an alliance. How about we join forces for now and head north to intercept Ling Qing and the people from the Hanyu Sect?"
"Isn't the fairy afraid that my demon race will take the opportunity to destroy the Hanyu Sect?" Chonghua smiled as he looked at Jun Luoying, testing her bottom line.
Upon hearing this, Jun Luoying's eyes also showed a hint of struggle.
But in the end, she resolutely clenched her fists and said coldly, "If Ling Qing has feelings for me, I will accompany him to make a comeback in the future; if he has no feelings for me, what benefit will it be for me to protect Han Yu Sect for him?"
You are not my subordinates. If I don't give you some sweet treats, will you cooperate with me?
"Ling Qing and Yun Xiao are to be returned to Fairy Ben. As for the rest, you may kill or torture them as you please. Is that acceptable?"
"The fairy is indeed a wise person. It is an honor for my demon race to cooperate with the fairy." Chonghua laughed heartily and clapped his hands in agreement: "Good! How to cooperate and when to depart, my demon race will follow the fairy's orders!"
Jun Luoying was very pleased with these words, and her resistance lessened considerably.
After all, "communicating with demons" is a major taboo for all spiritual cultivators. If she hadn't been forced to this point by Ling Qing and Yun Xiao, she wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure.
The monster was so subservient to her, which, while partly to use her, also gave her a lot of face.
After agreeing on the departure time with Chonghua, Chonghua left to mobilize manpower.
Jun Luoying stood alone at the ferry, gazing at the wide, shimmering river under the moonlight. Her hands, held in front of her, were clenched tightly in her palms. She gritted her teeth and said, "Ling Qing, don't blame me. You forced me to do this!"
The following evening.
Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye were having their last family reunion dinner at the New Garden before Ji Fenghua left.
Just as she was halfway through her meal, Ji Fengyao suddenly felt the extreme fire tremble. The intent to form a pill that had been suppressed within her sea of consciousness burst forth, stirring the will of heaven and earth.
In an instant, the world was in turmoil, and a surge of spiritual energy rushed toward the new garden.
Everyone at the table, including Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao themselves, changed color and all looked at Ji Fengyao.
"I can't suppress my inner power any longer. Whether I can successfully break through to the Pill Saint realm depends on tonight." Ji Fengyao gritted her teeth and forced herself to finish her explanation to everyone before turning around and riding her sword towards the Beast Forest behind the Pill Sect.
Shang Xiye and Wu Tongyu immediately stood up and said to Lu Yang and An Zijin, "Quickly, Lu Yang, go and inform everyone to protect Yao Yao as planned in her attempt to become a Pill Saint; An Zijin, go and inform the Grand Elder to be ready to activate the Pill Sect's protective formation at any time!"
