Upon seeing Fang Meiyun fly away, Xiao Juele simply stayed in place, squinting and smiling; after smiling for a moment, he went to help the other disciples reshape the mountain.
And Fang Meiyun did just as she said: she left.
Her own sect headquarters was just beginning to be built, and it still required a large amount of materials to be purchased. The sect's grand formation also had to be developed little by little, which would cost quite a bit of money.
Fortunately, after so many years as sect leader, her treasury was still fairly solid.
"What should the sect be called? Man-Slaying Sect? That name doesn't sound very appropriate. Ruthless Sect? If that's the case, should we adjust the sect's cultivation techniques? The Ruthless Path seems like a good choice…"
As the sect's founder, Fang Meiyun was even a little excited at that moment.
She was going to create a true Maiden Sect!
A great sect that would belong only to female cultivators!
After flying alone for about two hours, Fang Meiyun headed toward a large city with the intention of buying all the necessary materials at once.
But while flying, she suddenly stopped and coldly looked around.
"You've been following me in the shadows for quite some time, haven't you? How bold. Even if I've stepped down from the position of sect leader, I'm not someone any stray cat or dog can intimidate."
As soon as her words fell, a spiritual pressure typical of a cultivator in the Divine Transformation stage swept across an area spanning dozens of kilometers.
But there was no movement in the surroundings.
That made Fang Meiyun frown.
She had cultivated a spiritual perception technique that allowed her to sense certain dangers. Half an hour earlier, she had already felt that a gaze was following her from the shadows.
"Could it be someone from the Hehuan Sect?"
She pondered silently, as the Hehuan Sect had hated her for a long time.
As for whether it could be someone from the Maiden Sect, she couldn't say for sure.
Inside the arena of the Imprisoned Souls Bracelet she had embedded—
The seemingly passive fragmented soul of Tang Yu suddenly rolled its eyes, with a hint of a smile in its gaze.
The fragmented soul locked in the bracelet was indeed the real one; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to deceive Xiao Meiyun.
He was only pretending to be in a vegetative state on purpose. Xiao Juele had made a Dao oath not to harm him, and the two of them were putting on a little act together.
During the journey with Fang Meiyun, he had already noticed that someone was following them.
It wasn't that he was more skilled than Fang Meiyun, but rather that the Grandmother of the Divine Tree had warned him suddenly.
"Grandmother, do you know what level the opponent is?"
After looking around without figuring anything out, Tang Yu asked in his mind.
"I don't know, but this one is interesting. He has a system; if he didn't, I wouldn't even have sensed him."
The voice of the Grandmother of the Sacred Tree echoed in Tang Yu's mind.
"He has a system? Another one of those Heaven's Chosen with a system?"
Upon hearing the word "system," Tang Yu immediately became more cautious.
"Not necessarily a Heaven's Chosen. Each dimension has rare systems, and these systems are far from reaching the level of the Dao. If the Heavenly Dao were the king of a country, these little systems would barely be regional lords. They exist in your homeland too."
The Grandmother of the Sacred Tree explained.
Not all systems are linked to the Heavenly Dao; they don't even reach the level of a minor Dao.
"Interesting."
It was the first time Tang Yu had encountered such a case: someone who wasn't a Heaven's Chosen yet still carried a system.
Even more interesting, was that guy here to cause trouble for Fang Meiyun?
While Fang Meiyun paused and began scanning the surroundings with her spiritual sense—
The hidden person still did not appear.
Being able to remain hidden from a mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivator meant that his power was not exactly weak.
"Do you really want to force me to act?"
Unable to locate him even with her spiritual sense, Fang Meiyun's killing intent grew denser.
Did that guy think she was some stray dog that anyone could kick?
"You're asking for death!"
After shouting angrily, Fang Meiyun formed seals with both hands, and a blue point of light shot from her finger.
The blue light, filled with a piercing chill, split into four as it emerged, flying toward the east, south, west, and north, appearing more than ten kilometers away in an instant.
Once the four blue lights locked into place, they burst into a blinding radiance visible from hundreds of kilometers away.
These lights formed four enormous ice mirrors that emitted a sinister cold; from them emerged countless lines of ice that shot out to form a dense net covering the entire space.
With that attack launched.
In just a few seconds—
At a point near Xiao Meiyun, the space distorted slightly.
Next, a red light blocked all the surrounding ice lines.
Seeing that the intruder had finally revealed himself, Fang Meiyun stared coldly at him.
Tang Yu also looked and saw that the figure amid the fire was a man.
The man was thin, with a gloomy face, and stood atop a giant flying bird. The bird resembled a swallow but had no feathers, only smooth and sturdy skin.
"I thought it would be someone important, but it turns out to be a useless Golden Core cultivator. You dare follow me? Who sent you?"
Sensing the man's cultivation stage, Fang Meiyun let out a laugh: he was just a mid-stage Golden Core weakling.
She could crush him with one finger!
"I came on my own, I have business with you."
The man replied indifferently.
"You? What right do you have to speak to me? Tell me who sent you and I'll give you a quick death. Of course, you can also play stubborn, but that skinned bird won't be able to carry you out of here. I've already sealed the space around you—you're not escaping."
Fang Meiyun let out a cold laugh. The reason he had been able to follow her was that featherless swallow with invaluable value under her feet.
This creature is an extremely rare and precious spiritual beast. Its speed is incredibly fast, it can traverse space and hide its figure, even among the seven great sects, there are not many like it.
"Run? Who said I was going to run? I'm just borrowing you for a moment."
The man suddenly ran toward Fang Meiyun.
Fang Meiyun replied disdainfully, "Not only are you not running, but you also dare to approach me?"
"If I don't get close, how am I supposed to use this magic treasure?"
When he was ten meters from Fang Meiyun, a golden jade talisman appeared in the man's palm.
He gripped it tightly, and the golden talisman immediately vanished. At that moment, Fang Meiyun discovered that she couldn't move. Not only her body but also her internal energy and the spiritual energy around her were completely immobilized.
Such a terrifying talisman, she had never heard of it in her life!
Then, she watched with wide eyes as the other person approached, extended his index finger, and pressed it against her forehead while laughing coldly.
"I have no name, my Daoist title is Bà Yè Hóng Yuān. In a hundred years, when I become an Immortal Emperor, you'll feel proud to have been humiliated by me today!"
Having said this, Bà Yè Hóng Yuān snapped his fingers, knocking Fang Meiyun unconscious.
After knocking her out, the first thing he did was take Fang Meiyun's storage ring and store it away.
Then, with a disgusted expression, he began to tear off her Daoist robe while cursing.
"Damn it, this technique is really sick, it forces me to attack an old witch! When I get back, I have to tear my skin off my fingers and let new skin grow."
Three years ago, he was just an ordinary mortal, but after offending an immortal master, he was killed on the spot.
When he thought he was doomed, a voice sounded in his ear. It was a strange technique that called itself the "System."
This technique, which clearly had developed consciousness, told him that completing the missions it gave was equivalent to cultivating, as well as obtaining all kinds of cultivation resources.
This method of cultivation, never seen or heard of before, left him astounded, and he took the opportunity to start his journey in cultivation.
Then, the first mission the system gave him was to poke someone's butt.
At that moment, the target was the sheriff near his hometown.
Although that guy couldn't cultivate, his martial skills were enough to beat him ten times.
In the end, he thought and thought, and decided to get him drunk.
Once drunk, he tied him up with ropes!
And then carefully ()
he poked him a few times with his finger!
After completing the mission, he immediately received a reward that took him directly to the intermediate stage of the Qi Refining realm.
Since then, in every system mission, he had to poke someone's butt.
And as his strength increased, the targets also became more powerful.
This time, knowing he had to poke an old woman in the middle stage of the Divine Transformation realm, he almost cried on the spot.
Fortunately, in the last mission, the system had rewarded him with a temporary stopping talisman.
Otherwise, how would he have dared provoke such a deity?
"This temporary stopping talisman lasts only as long as it takes to drink a cup of tea. When it's over, I have to run immediately so that she doesn't have a chance to chase me!"
After saying this to himself, he had already taken off Fang Meiyun's Daoist robe.
Seeing the pitiful state of the target, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, placed his hands in the millennium insertion position, and forcefully poked her.
The instant he touched the target,
Bà Yè Hóng Yuān's face paled, and he couldn't help but scream in pain.
It wasn't that he was disgusted...
He was truly disgusted!
That damned old woman, had she placed an extremely powerful spatial barrier inside her body!?
By suddenly breaking in, he activated that barrier!
The spatial barrier immediately expanded over Fang Meiyun's body, transforming into a spatial crack the size of a finger.
Bà Yè Hóng Yuān's hands were sucked into it, and his whole body started being dragged in.
If this scene were viewed from another angle...
It would look as if a person was being absorbed by the butt!
"Nooo!!!"
Bà Yè Hóng Yuān struggled desperately, but being in the Golden Core realm, how could he resist such a spatial force?
In just a few moments, he was completely absorbed.
Once inside Fang Meiyun's spatial barrier, that terrifying spatial energy crushed him and killed him instantly.
After his death, a storage ring and a mask fell to the ground.
And his spiritual beast, sensing the death of its master, hid in space and disappeared.
Everything returned to normal.
Only Fang Meiyun remained unconscious on the ground.
Tang Yu, who was inside, saw this scene, extended his hand, and caught the storage ring and mask of that guy.
Both items flew into the arena, and then Tang Yu examined Fang Meiyun's storage ring and threw it outside.
That ring also had a barrier inside. If he touched it, everything that had happened afterward would not have occurred, and he preferred to remain hidden inside.
After putting away the poor fool's belongings, Tang Yu stayed silent inside the arena, studying everything.
That guy who called himself Bà Yè Hóng Yuān...
In his storage ring, there weren't many valuable items, barely more than a thousand high-quality spirit stones.
But the mask left on the ground piqued Tang Yu's interest.
Upon examining it, he saw that it was a smiling mask, made of a rather special material, and when he held it in his hand, he felt an urge to put it on.
