Occasional checks by a few Return to Void or Union with Dao cultivators can be easily masked with prior preparation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it’s impossible: first, an ancient cultivator emerged from seclusion, then some unknown beggar forged the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of upheavals have turned this remote little city into a focal point of intense attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older demonic elders who sensed something amiss fled overnight; those left behind either never received the warning or couldn’t escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of meters beneath the building lies a vast underground laboratory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all the equipment inside has now been cleared out, leaving the space empty and silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These demonic brats actually built such a massive underground lab—was the mayor an idiot?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind a massive pillar, a figure muttered quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a girl who radiated vitality at first glance—her hair tied simply into a high ponytail, her features delicate, her clear black-and-white eyes bright, dressed in a white T-shirt and black work pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘When I become sect leader, I’ll fire him!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her name is Chi Jiuyu, a third-generation disciple of the Sword Sect, whose goal is to become the next Sword Sect leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, upon arriving in Xuanjian City while searching for her uncle, she noticed several individuals with strange auras carrying large quantities of beast blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the future sect leader, she felt it her duty to maintain order in the cities under the Sword Sect’s jurisdiction—so she quietly followed them here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark, sinister basement, piles of beast blood—this was unmistakably a den of demonic cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding dong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her phone suddenly buzzed in her pocket, startling her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly pulled it out, ignored the notification, and switched it to silent mode first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew—now she checked the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Found your uncle yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sender’s nickname was “My Most Revered Master,” and their avatar was a tiny yellow duck holding a sword, its forehead marked with “Invincible”—looking rather dim-witted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not yet,” Chi Jiuyu replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanjian City isn’t small, and where was she supposed to look?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, if her uncle didn’t want to be found, how could she possibly locate him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Find him quickly—your uncle is very generous, especially right after emerging from seclusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it, got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After replying, she tucked her phone away and pressed deeper inside—her uncle could wait; destroying this den came first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Jiuyu crept carefully through room after room; the strange liquids and faint traces of blood on the floor confirmed her suspicion—this was definitely a demonic den!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After passing several more rooms, she reached a storage room filled with several broken, bizarre devices. She faintly heard voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young master, how much longer must we stay here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Almost done—the elder’s injuries are nearly healed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young master? Elder? Definitely a big fish! Chi Jiuyu’s eyes glowed faintly golden as she probed their realms through the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nascent Soul Early Stage. Nascent Soul Early Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirmed—two minor pests. In the same realm, she’d never feared anyone. But she didn’t know what realm the “elder” was—Soul Transformation, maybe she could fight; Return to Void, that would be trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she thought this—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You younglings are truly careless. A little mouse has slipped in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold, harsh voice, rough as gravel. Chi Jiuyu’s golden gaze dimmed—not only the grating voice, but also the rustling sound of insects crawling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around. In the dark, lightless storage room stood a hazy, shadowy demonic figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit!” Shit, she’d stumbled onto a shark—it was a Union with Dao demonic elder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two inside also sensed something wrong and rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young master, it seems we’ve been followed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man in sunglasses glared fiercely at his subordinate—do you think I don’t know that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed slightly toward the demonic shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My apologies, Elder. It was my oversight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to Chi Jiuyu, snarling: “Speak! Which faction are you from? Why did you follow us here?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course because my sense of justice sensed the stench of evil!” Chi Jiuyu declared solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is “stench of evil”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both nearly cracked—right in front of you stands a Union with Dao demonic elder! Can’t you show a little fear?! “This one has cultivated the Grand Void Illusion-Piercing Golden Eye. Your little concealment techniques mean nothing to her,” the Union with Dao elder explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand Void Illusion-Piercing Golden Eye—a ocular technique from the Sword Sect’s supreme inheritance, the Grand Void Sword Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword Sect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At such a young age, you’ve reached this realm and even mastered such an ocular technique—given time, you may surpass even me,” the Union with Dao elder said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft!” Chi Jiuyu scoffed. “You really think highly of yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man and his subordinate were stunned—she’s always been this brazen?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at who you’re talking to! A Union with Dao demonic elder! The elder himself paused, then said calmly: “Strength is for the future. Do you think you even have a future?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rolling demonic energy surged, filling half the storage room, about to swallow Chi Jiuyu whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how powerful a Nascent Soul cultivator, they are but ants before a Union with Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Jiuyu’s vision blurred—but suddenly she shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, save me!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum! A vast, resonant hum echoed in the ears of the young man, his subordinate, and the Union with Dao elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything before them vanished rapidly; their perspective soared infinitely high, the fundamental truths of the Dao flowed before their eyes, and countless cultivation obstacles found instant resolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Union with Dao elder felt his realm trembling—but his heart held no joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nearly transparent pale red phantom stepped forward, her celestial grace peerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze fell—and the Union with Dao elder froze, for her eyes were not cold or indifferent; they brimmed with profound, complex emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this be? “You dare harm my disciple? You shall be cut down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cut down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That voice rang like a cosmic decree. The Union with Dao elder was flooded with boundless terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a scream of utter despair, terrifying demonic energy erupted skyward—the full might of a Union with Dao cultivator’s explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, even dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t stop it—but the rising demonic energy was severed as if in another dimension, utterly ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Jiuyu watched the withered old man scream in despair, then dissolve into violet, sand-like light particles, and she clicked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s always like this—what exactly did they all see?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Union with Dao elder dead, the young man and his subordinate regained consciousness—they weren’t killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can’t beat someone of your own realm, dying is your own fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, Chi Jiuyu thought the same—she drew a long sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come at me together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who the hell wants to fight you?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they finally understood why the demonic elders in this base fled so fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re my sister’s disciple?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure appeared out of thin air where the elder had vanished—Xu Xing, who had just been in the principal’s office of Xuanjian City No. 3 Middle School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please collect, please follow!!
