The Hehuan Sect Was Squeezed Dry for Ten Thousand Years, but It Became a Sacred Ground?-Chapter 173

Chapter 173

The pressure of her Divine Transformation (9th Layer) cultivation erupted, bearing down on Liu Ruyan.

“You don’t actually think we’re powerless against the Qinglian Sect, do you?”

The gap between the Southern Domain and the outside world was insurmountable.

At the same cultivation level, she could crush a native cultivator effortlessly.

And that wasn’t even considering the Ji Clan’s guardians.

If they really wanted to, destroying a sect like this wouldn’t be an issue.

A few hundred years ago, the Qinglian Sect hadn’t even qualified for the Hundred Dynasties War.

A few hundred years later, even without them, it wouldn’t make much difference.

“Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister, calm down, don’t be angry.”

Seeing the situation, Ji Yunjin beside her quickly stepped forward, patting her back with her small hands to soothe her.

However, facing the threat, Liu Ruyan remained completely unbothered, showing no trace of fear. Instead, after noticing the loli’s actions behind Ji Yunshu, she curled her lips and said leisurely, “Actually, the previous conditions aren’t necessary. We just need people.”

“What people?”

“Candidates for the Hundred Dynasties War. I think the sect could use an extra Divine Transformation cultivator for support.” Liu Ruyan stated.

Hearing this, Ji Yunshu frowned.

“Divine Transformation cultivators are core figures of dynasties and major sects. How could they easily join your faction? Besides, once on the battlefield, everyone must cooperate wholeheartedly. What difference does one or two more make?”

“Really?” Liu Ruyan lightly brushed aside the hair falling by her temple, her smile carrying a deeper meaning. “Isn’t there one right in front of me—someone who doesn’t belong to any dynasty or faction?”

“What?” Ji Yunshu froze, but before she could react, a sharp pain stabbed her neck.

Instinctively, she turned and swung her palm, but upon seeing the familiar face so close, she restrained her movement.

“Xiao Jin, you—!”

Glancing casually at the palm inches away, the cute girl with twin buns curled her lips playfully.

“What a loving elder sister you are.”

Her tone remained sweet, but her words and expression felt strangely off.

Then, the truth was revealed.

Under Ji Yunshu’s disbelieving gaze, a bloody mist enveloped Ji Yunjin’s body as her figure grew taller. When the mist dispersed, Li Yiya in her Blood Demon form stood before her—pale-skinned and menacing.

Ji Yunshu was both shocked and furious. “This aura… You’re a Blood Demon! You’re not Third Sister!”

Now she realized she had fallen into a trap.

She immediately tried to strike again, but the abundant spiritual energy in her body rapidly drained until she couldn’t summon any at all.

“How is this possible…?” Ji Yunshu muttered in disbelief.

She frantically circulated her cultivation technique, but all her spiritual energy remained tightly locked in her dantian, completely immobile.

Meanwhile, Li Yiya twirled a long emerald needle between her fingers and swayed gracefully as she walked out. “The Spirit-Sealing Needle—coated with the sect’s new poison refined by Elder Ji. Once inserted into the central acupoint of the neck, it can seal a Divine Transformation cultivator’s power for up to an hour. Perfect for your level.”

“Sect Master, my task is complete.”

“Mm, I’ll report it to A’Chen. You’ll be credited.” Liu Ruyan replied casually. Soon, only the two of them remained in the room.

Ji Yunshu glared angrily. “Despicable! A human cultivator colluding with demons!”

Even now, she couldn’t fully process it—she had been caught off guard so easily!

But in that moment, she truly hadn’t been wary at all.

Liu Ruyan remained unfazed. “Demons? Interesting.”

“To us Southern Domain cultivators, outsiders like you are far uglier than demons.”

Ji Yunshu had no interest in arguing. “Where is my Third Sister? What have you done to her?”

Did the Qinglian Sect plan to use the Blood Demon’s mimicry ability to replace her? If so, wasn’t Third Sister in grave danger?

She tried accessing her storage ring and pouch—nothing worked. Even taking out a detoxification pill was now impossible.

“Don’t worry, your sister is fine. You’ll see her soon… though you might not want to.” Liu Ruyan half-joked.

Ji Yunshu didn’t understand—nor did she care to.

Knowing that resistance was futile without her cultivation, she remained seated, silent.

She still had an absolute trump card.

Once Auntie Yun arrived, every problem would be effortlessly resolved.

But as she pondered, Liu Ruyan spoke again: “Waiting for someone? That Purple Mansion Realm guardian of yours?”

“This sect master will wait with you.”

Ji Yunshu: “!!!”

Her secret exposed, panic truly set in.

How did this woman—a mere Divine Transformation cultivator who had never met Auntie Yun—know her cultivation level?

But the next moment, Ji Yunshu’s pupils shrank.

She thought of Ji Yunjin’s disappearance, of Ji Qianyue deliberately taking her away.

If even Third Sister was fake… was Qianyue-jie also an imposter?

Had they prepared for this from the start?

It’s fine! It’s fine!

Ji Yunshu repeatedly denied her fears.

So what if they were prepared? The might of a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator was beyond imagination. Even if they had a drug, it wouldn’t work on her.

How could a bunch of petty Southern Domain Divine Transformation cultivators contend with a Purple Mansion powerhouse?

She was just scaring herself.

Noticing the subtle shifts in the woman’s expression, Liu Ruyan smiled silently.

Let’s see.

[Ding! Ji Yun’s cumulative absorption of the host’s Nectar of the Gods has reached 1 liter, meeting the standard. Initiating bloodline transformation. The original Ji Clan Divine Body has been replaced and optimized into the Ning Clan Dao Body—Subtype (Quality: Red).][Ding! Ji Yun’s innate divine ability—Sky-Shaking Palm—has been optimized and elevated in quality, awakening as the Heaven-Imprisoning Soul-Annihilating Palm (Quality: Red).][Heaven-Imprisoning Soul-Annihilating Palm (Quality: Red, Innate Divine Ability. A single palm strike can imprison the heavens and annihilate souls! The range expands with cultivation level, and its power is immense.)][Since Ji Yun has become a subtype of the bloodline, the host directly comprehends this divine ability. It has now been integrated into the Supreme Sun God Physique, enhancing only the quality of Yang energy without increasing the closed-door cultivation experience limit.]

Inside a certain level of the Demon-Sealing Tower, Ning Chen—lying on the bed—glanced at the suddenly appearing screen before him, his lips curling in amusement.

Heh. Hooked.

A Purple Mansion Realm cultivator?

How laughably easy.

Ning Chen patted the little head currently buried in diligent work.

“Alright, stop for now.”

Ji Yunjin obediently released him and looked up.

“Master~” Her delicate face was full of devotion.

Ji Yunjin had already been conditioned to obey her man, and after two months of training—along with their bloodline connection—her affection was maxed out.

She and Duanmu Yao were polar opposites when it came to lolis.

“Rub your cheeks if they’re sore.” Ning Chen said offhandedly.

“Jin’er isn’t tired. Serving Master is my honor.”

Seeing her insistence, Ning Chen said nothing more.

“Then stay here for now. I’ll call for you when needed.”

“Yes, Master.”

As soon as Ning Chen sat up, Ji Yunjin attentively stepped forward to straighten his robes.

Once dressed, he left without looking back.

This was his first time encountering a woman of Purple Mansion Realm cultivation.

Figures like Yu Hua—the so-called ancient Mahayana cultivator—were relics of the past.

And the age gap was even more extreme.

There was a saying: “A woman three years older brings gold; thirty years older brings a kingdom; three hundred years brings elixirs; three thousand years grants immortality!”

Today, Ning Chen would experience the highest tier of them all!
