Lin Qi had an idea in an instant.
As the palanquin swept over Lin Qi's head, she raised a hand, seized a female immortal, and shoved her to the bottom of the Immortal Cleansing Pool. Her appearance and aura changed at once.
Together with those around her, she went to receive the eldest miss of the Flying Immortal Pavilion.
Lin Qi's disguise techniques had been inherited from the Cangwu Realm and were not particularly impressive. Even she was on tenterhooks, terrified of being seen through.
Fortunately, when the Flying Immortal Pavilion's palanquin descended, the cultivators Gong Liu had sent no longer swept the entire Immortal Cleansing Pool with their divine sense.

As she left, she even sensed the gazes of several blue-robed cultivators sweeping over her.
It was nothing short of heart-stopping.
After they had gone more than a hundred meters, an aura suddenly descended, shackling Lin Qi all over.
Lin Qi's eyes widened slightly. Just as she was about to mobilize her Immortal Qi to resist, she had already landed inside the palanquin.
The female cultivator beside her had her eyes lowered, looking as though she had fallen asleep, yet the formidable aura around her was impossible to ignore.
Lin Qi watched her warily, every muscle in her body taut.
The female cultivator asked unhurriedly, "Being hunted?"

Since settling scores was exceedingly common at the Ascension Platform, this female cultivator's question was sheer nonsense.
"If I ordered them to turn back now, what would you do?"
Lin Qi's first instinct was to run. But just as she tried to move, she discovered that she could not move her body at all.
Looking down, she found herself tightly bound by a transparent thread, which even suppressed the Immortal Qi
