Netherfire Phoenix

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

As the words were spoken, several men in black emerged from the "cracks," including several Huiyang.

Countless rifts filled the void, more than a dozen of which were fake, Minghe and Qin Yi failed to see through. This was because Meng Qingying and her companions were too familiar with the nature of the Netherworld Realm, easily blending into the darkness and utilizing the Netherworld to set up ambushes.

So all those sneak attacks before were orchestrated by different people around them, truly a trap set in the sky. They didn't intend to harm anyone, they just wanted to capture him alive. If they had actually attacked and injured him, Minghe would definitely not have had such an easy time this time. It would be lucky if he escaped with serious injuries.

Minghe could see that too, so her actions were aimed at the formation and the like, without harming anyone. Even when she used her ultimate move, it was only to move the stars, without any destructive effect; otherwise, her compass would have served many more purposes.

This is a tacitly coordinated game of capture and escape...

But Minghe's Star Shift disrupted these hidden spaces, causing chaos as the men in black scattered and disheveled in all directions. If Qin Yi wanted to run now, he could simply turn and flee...

But he didn't run away...

Because originally, Minghe might not have been able to escape. She was already overburdened, outnumbered, and facing several Huiyang opponents. Even though she seems to have escaped now, if they relentlessly pursued her, how could she possibly outrun the people of Myriad Images of the Universe in this Netherworld Realm? If things escalated and she unleashed a serious attack, the situation would be disastrous...

As a result, he popped up and Meng Qingying stopped chasing him and took his place.

"Then take my place..." Qin Yi sniffled. "Don't fight, hit me instead."

A group of men in black swarmed around Qin Yi, who was squatting in front of Meng Qingying, and asked, "Young Master, what is this...?"

Meng Qingying waved her hand domineeringly. "Tie them up!"

From afar, Minghe's voice rang out. "Witch! Release him!"

Qin Yi: "..."

Ju Yunxiu and Li Qingjun: "..."

Meng Qingying tilted her head slightly, looking at Minghe had walked right into her trap, amusement in her eyes. "Oh, Minghe, the Fairy Minghe Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, so high and mighty, so pure and innocent, actually having an affair with some random wild man who just appeared out of nowhere?"

"You know perfectly well..." Minghe paused, took a deep breath, "Even though we've never met before, he entered the encirclement to help Minghe, and I cannot go alone."

"What a righteous Fairy!" Meng Qingying clicked her tongue in admiration. "However..."

She paused for a moment, then suddenly hardened her expression. "Want to be a pair of lovebirds sharing the same fate? Not so fast. Guards, throw this Daoist Nun away!"

Minghe: "?"

Man in black. "???"

Is something wrong...?

Regardless of what was wrong, the man in black still took half and blocked Minghe.

From arresting people to driving them away, the situation became so chaotic that both sides were completely confused, staring at each other blankly, unable to even muster any hostility.

"Get lost, Stinky Daoist Nun! Don't wait for our Young Master to change his mind!" a burly man forcefully said. "If it were any other year, I would have killed every single one of the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace members I saw!"

This was less of a threat to Minghe and more of a question to the Young Master: "What's wrong?"

Meng Qingying pretended not to understand, and Minghe ignored him, treating him as if he hadn't spoken. The burly man finished his harsh words, but no one responded, creating an extremely awkward situation.

Looking at Qin Yi, who was surrounded in the middle, Minghe really didn't understand why he wasn't resisting... Wasn't he also very fierce to this demoness before? With his strength, and with her help in breaking through, he still had a chance to break out even if he was seriously injured... He might even be able to turn the tables and kill her.

But he didn't move. Minghe all alone. How could she possibly break through the encirclement and carry him out?

No, why did we have to carry him out? He has arms and legs, and they're not broken!

Minghe stamped her foot. "Meng Qingying! If he loses even a single hair..."

Meng Qingying plucked a hair from Qin Yi's head and blew on it. The hair swayed and twisted, like someone shamelessly swaying their hips in a dance.

Minghe: "... You just wait!"

Completely baffled, Minghe turned and fled, wondering where to get help.

Meng Qingying watched her retreating figure, feeling completely at ease.

Then, getting a little cocky, he turned to the shadows where Ju Yunxiu and Li Qingjun were hiding. "There are two more over there, hurry up..."

The two revealed themselves, glaring angrily at each other.

Qin Yi felt like he was about to die, and hurriedly said, "No!"

Meng Qingying quickly changed the subject. "Those two are my friends. Please take them back and treat them to good wine and meat."

The man in black turned around respectfully and bowed to the two men. "Gentlemen, our Young Master invites you."

Ju Yunxiu and Li Qingjun exchanged a glance, neither of them speaking. They understood each other perfectly and decided to follow the demoness to her headquarters to see what she was up to!

Meng Qingying lightly kicked Qin Yi with her toe, her tone aloof. "As for this stinky man, tie him up and lock him in the secret room. I have questions to ask him."

A group of men in black began constructing a boundary bridge and smoothing out the boundary membrane. Before long, the boundary was reopened, demonstrating their considerable skill in this method.

The burly man cautioned, "This person's cultivation is elusive and difficult to fathom; tying him up might not be enough..."

"Helm Master Lin, please be careful." Meng Qingying felt around and pulled out a pill, which she then put into Qin Yi's mouth. "This is Soul Locking Pill that I made myself."

The burly man bound Qin Yi with the Immortal Binding Rope and sneered, "You little thief, you ruined our plan to capture the Daoist Nun. You've run into our Young Master's hands, and we'll make you wish you were dead."

"... I will interrogate this person myself. Give him to me." Meng Qingying snatched Qin Yi away, turned around and stepped onto the boundary bridge. "By the way, Helm Master Lin will receive three slaps later."

Helm Master Lin was taken aback. "Young Master, what have I done wrong?"

"You stepped with your left foot first..."

"?"

"Oh no, you failed to capture the Daoist Nun just now, and she broke through from your direction..."

Helm Master Lin felt that the Daoist Nun might not have broken out from his direction; after the Star Shift, no one knew where they were anymore...

That said, while they were a group of people lying in ambush, many of whom were more skilled than the Daoist Nun, it was the Young Master's own "Defection Buddhist Pagoda" that truly proved effective. It forced the Daoist Nun to use almost all her Law Treasure and ended up in the closest point of their ambush. The others were practically useless; with a more tyrannical leader, they would all have to accept being whipped or slapped without a word of protest.

But this looks so strange, like something out of a drama, and everyone present is completely baffled.

However, no one can fathom the Young Master's heart; we should just listen to her.

This is an extremely terrifying sorceress.

Everyone present was familiar with her life trajectory.

Orphaned at a young age, he was spotted by an elder of the Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect when he was two or three years old, who recognized his Spirit Root and brought him back to the sect for training. The training of successors in the Demon Sect is very cruel. After receiving some Cultivation Method training in the Outer Sect, they are thrown into the Netherworld Realm to survive on their own for three years. After that, they are assigned to different halls to continue their training based on their performance.

At that time, Meng Qingying was only five or six years old, and Feng Chu had just entered the sect and was only at the third level.

Everyone else emerged from the Netherworld within three years, but Meng Qingying didn't, so everyone assumed she was dead. It turned out she had emerged five years later, not only alive but also having reached the mid-stage of the Qin Xin realm, and had even refined the Netherworld Ghost Fire, storing it between her brows.

At that age, with that level of cultivation, refining the Netherworld Ghost Fire... the near-death experiences are too numerous to mention; one can only imagine the feeling of walking through the Gate of Hell. Therefore, the sect leader valued her highly, personally assisting her in completely fusing the Netherworld Ghost Fire, and appointed her as his disciple.

The sect leader didn't have many disciples; he accepted them at will, and they were all merely Registered Disciple, receiving only minor guidance and nothing more. The earliest disciples he accepted all died at the end of their lifespans, and the oldest still alive could be Meng Qingying's Grandmaster. However, for thousands of years, the concept of a true "direct successor" had never been established, because that would be tantamount to designating someone as the heir. The sect leader himself was formless and hadn't considered such a matter for millennia.

Ten years ago, the sect leader either sensed his impending doom or foresaw an impending calamity. In any case, he finally began to establish a successor, personally selecting a group of disciples under the age of two hundred, saying that they were still very malleable and that the future successor would be born from among them.

Meng Qingying was fortunate enough to be one of the worst performers.

The struggle for succession within the Demon Sect is incredibly brutal, as almost everyone knows. The so-called struggle for succession is essentially tantamount to killing everyone else; there's no room for friendly competition. It's a massive sect at the level of the Unparalleled, with resources, power, the sect leader's relentless cultivation and succession of his core members during his remaining years, and the inheritance of vast resources and core Cultivation Method —enough to drive even the most detached and ascetic cultivator in the world mad.

At this time, Meng Qingying was only at the mid-stage of Qin Xin, while the strongest competitors were already at the mid-stage of Teng Yun.

What could she possibly fight for? At that time, some people even told her that taking her as a slave would save her life.

But no one expected that this little girl would reach the Cloud Ascension stage in less than five years, using a strange Star Dragon as her natal puppet, possessing extraordinary combat power, and instantly becoming one of the most competitive. Three years later, she slew her strongest Senior Brother Qi Wen in the Land of Chaos, returned to the mid-stage of Cloud Ascension, and her Lifebound Puppet was fully mastered.

From then on, she soared to great heights, stirring up Blood Rain in the past year or two. No one knows where her luck came from, but she seemed to be blessed by heaven, managing to evade all open and covert schemes and even turn the tables on them. In the end, she wiped out more than a dozen contenders for the throne who were forced to band together.

Those who once claimed they would take her as their slave have had their ashes cast into the underworld.

After a decade-long struggle for the throne, she has finally become the sole heir, leaving no room for controversy. The sect leader is very satisfied, and none of the Qian Yuan Level elders have any objections; they are all very optimistic about her future.

This is a woman... who has walked out of hell, like a dark phoenix born from the flames of hell.

After being officially designated as the "Young Master" this year, he received the sect leader's inheritance and his cultivation progressed at lightning speed. A month ago, he entered the seventh level of the Cloud Ascension Realm and began to lead the team to carry out some sect affairs. Wherever his troops pointed, he could do whatever he wanted and never failed.

What they've been doing lately has been quite outlandish, but under her direction, it actually seems to be turning into something quite promising...

In any case, the leaders and deacons of the Huiyang class all Qi Ingestion her orders. No matter how strange the orders were, it was because they did not understand her profound plans.

People looked at Qin Yi, who was being held by her, with pity... Now that he was in her hands, how was this man going to die?
