Chapter 69: Satisfied as Much as Possible?

"At your current cultivation level, you are at the mid-stage of Void Hollow, and you have already cultivated the Yin Demon Beast-Gathering Bone-Melting Art to the third level."

"You sit here putting on an act to deceive everyone; what is your intention?"

"Could it be that you see so many people here and want to cultivate the Yin Demon Beast-Gathering Bone-Melting Art, harvesting the Living Souls of all these people?"

The male concubine who spoke was none other than Gui Sheng Xie Yi Qing Yuan, acting under the instructions of Lu Tianyu.

Qing Yuan had seen through it the moment she stepped onto the stage, and having received Lu Tianyu's directive, she exposed the old woman's true colors.

As soon as these words were spoken, the old woman sitting there suddenly shuddered, and a terrifying, murderous glint shot from her eyes.

Unfortunately, Gui Sheng Xie Yi was not afraid in the slightest and stared right back at her!

The crowd below the stage was also shocked!

"Yin Demon Beast-Gathering Bone-Melting Art? This is the technique cultivated by the Supreme Elder of the Diling Sect; could she be the Void Hollow Ancestor of the Diling Sect?"

"That is absolutely impossible! I saw the City Lord's wife many years ago, and she looked just like this."

"I think this male concubine is unwilling to be traded as a slave and is risking his life to spout nonsense, hoping to change his situation."

"This male concubine is truly stupid; he must be tired of living! There are a thousand ways to court death, but there's no need to use this method!"

The crowd sneered at Qing Yuan one after another.

You could have lived a while longer if you hadn't spoken; now it's over, you're bound to die for your gibberish!

Shen Guanghan's expression changed drastically, and he said sternly, "You, a mere male concubine, what nonsense are you spouting!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and struck toward Qing Yuan's forehead, intending to kill her with a single blow.

Qing Yuan let out a cold snort, struck out with one hand, and hit Shen Guanghan's chest with even greater speed.

Boom!

Shen Guanghan immediately let out a miserable scream.

His body flew out like a kite with a broken string and crashed into the crowd.

Wails of pain immediately erupted from the crowd.

Pfft!

Shen Guanghan opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, then stood up with a trembling body: "You, you are not a male concubine!"

"Who exactly are you!"

As a peak-stage Spirit Severing cultivator, he deeply felt the thick Spiritual Power in that palm strike, which was simply not something he could resist.

Based on a preliminary judgment, this person was at least an Integration Stage cultivator.

Qing Yuan let out a cold snort: "You are not yet qualified to know who I am!"

Just at this moment, an old, sharp shout rang out from the air:

"Audacious monster, how dare you disguise yourself as a male concubine to cause trouble, give me your life!"

A gray-robed old man descended from the sky, head-first, striking toward Qing Yuan's forehead with his palm.

Gray-black energy swirled around his palm, filled with a sinister, ghostly aura!

Qing Yuan remained calm, slowly raised her palm and flicked it upward, and a green light shot out.

Pfft!

The gray energy on the gray-robed old man's palm vanished instantly, his fingers shattered with a crack, and his entire body flew toward the sky like a cannonball.

"Ah! You, you are a Void Hollow cultivator!"

The gray-robed old man was terrified: "Who exactly are you!"

He was Shen Longkai, one of the two Integration Stage cultivators of the Diling Sect.

Seeing that Shen Guanghan was no match for a mere male concubine, he had attacked without hesitation.

But he had not expected this male concubine to casually break his attack and shatter the bones of his five fingers.

Qing Yuan chuckled: "You went to such lengths to use male concubines as bait, wasn't it just to lure me out?"

"I admit that these male concubines of yours tempted me."

She pointed at the old woman sitting in the chair: "It is true that this person is ill, but it is caused by cultivating evil techniques; it is not worth my effort to help."

"Therefore, I will take these male concubines, but I cannot treat the illness!"

"If you are not convinced, feel free to attack and see if you can keep me here!"

Once these words were spoken.

The old woman finally could not sit still and stood up abruptly: "You are Gui Sheng Xie Yi!"

She cupped her hands and bowed: "Supreme Elder of the Diling Sect, greets the Senior; I beg the Senior to help!"

Her voice trembled.

Legend had it that Gui Sheng Xie Yi was a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator, not someone a mid-stage Void Hollow cultivator like her could compare to.

She believed that Gui Sheng Xie Yi was showing Void Hollow strength because she was intentionally hiding her cultivation.

In fact, what she did not know was that Qing Yuan had indeed been a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator in the past.

However, due to the erosion of the cold poison from her Profound Yin Body, her cultivation had now fallen to the Void Hollow Stage.

Although Lu Tianyu had absorbed the cold poison from her, it would take some time to recover to the Great Vehicle Stage.

Thump! Thump!

Shen Guanghan and Shen Longkai knelt on the ground: "We offended the Senior just now, please punish us!"

"Whatever the Senior needs, just ask, and we will do our best to satisfy the Senior!"

"We beg the Senior to take action and heal the injuries of our Ancestor."

The old woman was the pillar of their Diling Sect, and because of the backlash from cultivating the Yin Demon Beast-Gathering Bone-Melting Art, her cultivation had regressed.

They had searched everywhere for Gui Sheng Xie Yi without success, so they used this method.

The crowd below the stage saw this situation and all gasped in shock.

Their eyes widened, staring at Qing Yuan without blinking.

They never imagined that Gui Sheng Xie Yi would actually appear hidden among the male concubines to accuse the Supreme Elder of the Diling Sect.

The usually high-and-mighty Supreme Elder of the Diling Sect was as obedient as a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

Qing Yuan let out a cold snort: "This is what you said, satisfy me as much as you can!"

"Give me all the gifts you received today, and additionally bring out three Top-grade Spirit Veins and ten High-grade Spirit Veins, then I will agree to take action; otherwise, there is nothing to discuss!"

She was speaking according to Lu Tianyu's requirements.

Given her original personality, she would have simply taken the male concubines and left, without making any demands.

Upon hearing this, the old woman's face turned green: "Three Top-grade Spirit Veins? Ten High-grade Spirit Veins?"

"Our Diling Sect only has three Top-grade Spirit Veins and five High-grade Spirit Veins in total; even if we gave them all to you, it wouldn't be enough!"

Shen Longkai's body also swayed, nearly collapsing: "Senior, can you make an exception and ask for less?"

"Even if we sold the entire Diling Sect, we wouldn't have that many resources!"

He regretted it endlessly.

If he had known this person would open their mouth like a lion, he wouldn't have spoken nonsense.

Now it was done; he had been caught in a trap!

Shen Guanghan also kowtowed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, if we lose the spirit veins, our Diling Sect is finished!"

"We will keep the great kindness and virtue of the Divine Doctor in our hearts."

Qing Yuan did not speak immediately, sending a voice transmission to Lu Tianyu: "Sect Master, what do you think?"

Lu Tianyu responded immediately: "Two Top-grade Spirit Veins, four High-grade Spirit Veins, not a bit less!"

He did not know the Diling Sect's background and had not expected the Diling Sect to be not as wealthy as he had imagined.

Moreover, he also knew that if he pushed the Diling Sect too hard and they refused, he would get nothing at all.

Qing Yuan looked at the old woman with disdain: "In consideration of the fact that you are being honest, two Top-grade Spirit Veins and four High-grade Spirit Veins!"

"If you agree, I will tell you the method of healing; if you do not agree, then let it be!"

Upon hearing this, the old woman trembled uncontrollably: "Ah? This..."

These spirit veins were equivalent to more than half of the Diling Sect's resources; once they were gone, the Diling Sect's strength would be greatly reduced, and it was unknown how long it would take to recover.

But if her wounds were not healed and her cultivation realm dropped to the Integration Stage, the Nether Three Sects would likely have to be renamed the Nether Two Sects.
