"My name is Otsutsuki Kaguya."

"Ding."

Congratulations, host. You have received 1,000 Shock Points from Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian: "..."

Speechless, she had scared herself.

The bodyguard summoned this time was actually Otsutsuki Kaguya. This was truly shocking.

This was the ultimate boss from Naruto: Shippuden!

Kaguya had spread Chakra throughout the Ninja World after eating the fruit of the Chakra Tree, earning the titles of Ancestor of Chakra and God of Creation of the Ninja World.

Kaguya was somewhat arrogant and intensely possessive. Chakra had seven elemental transformations: fire, wind, lightning, earth, water, yin, and yang.

She also possessed the Sharingan, Rinnegan, and Byakugan—the three great ocular techniques. She could cast Infinite Tsukuyomi and trap people in an illusion for their entire lives.

"System, you're awesome!" Ye Qianqian burst out laughing and went over to greet Kaguya.

"Senior Sister, it's been so long!"

Because of the system, Otsutsuki's memories had also been altered. She was now Ye Qianqian's senior sister and had come specifically to protect her.

Having a Naruto ultimate boss as her senior sister made Ye Qianqian feel pretty damn impressive too.

"I broke through the seal just now, so I came to find you." A charming smile blossomed across Kaguya's cold face, filling her with a strange allure.

"The seal?"

Kaguya said sadly, "That's right. I was careless and got sealed by my two vile sons, Hagoromo and Hamura. I can't even bring out one-tenth of my current strength."

"Huh?" Ye Qianqian giggled and said loudly, "You actually got sealed by your own two sons? Senior Sister, you're really something."

Kaguya said angrily, "You still dare make fun of me? Back then, when Master taught you the cultivation method, you didn't listen properly. Only after cultivating beyond the Great Emperor realm did you realize you had cultivated it incorrectly. You had no choice but to disperse your cultivation and start over, but then a group of trash Dou Emperors discovered you and nearly killed you. You're hardly any better."

"Uh..." Ye Qianqian's face filled with black lines. What kind of memories had the system stuffed into Kaguya?

This imagination was way too rich!

The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart. As soon as the two finished speaking, an uproar immediately spread through the crowd.

Yun Shan finally understood. No wonder his clan's ancestor had been as weak as a chicken before. He had always found it strange!

He secretly filled in the story for himself: their ancestor had first been a Dou Master, then a Dou Zong, and now a Dou Venerate. So she had dispersed her cultivation and started over!

"But now the ancestor's cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds, and we have gained another powerful grandmaster-uncle. I believe the Misty Cloud Sect's path ahead will become even broader."

She Qingqing and the several elderly female Dou Venerates were dumbfounded, completely taken in by the pair's tall tales. They had never expected that the Misty Cloud Sect's ancestor had once been an all-powerful expert.

"Senior Sister, if we fight at Misty Cloud Mountain, we'll destroy a lot of buildings. I don't want to sleep outside—it's cold," Ye Qianqian said.

"That's easy." Kaguya casually snapped her fingers and shouted, "Amenominaka!"

"Buzz!"

Everyone felt their vision blur, and they arrived on an ice field. Bone-chilling winds swept over them, making it clear that this was real.

"Ding."

Congratulations, host. You have received 10,000 Shock Points from She Qingqing.

Congratulations, host. You have received 30,000 Shock Points from She Xiuyue.

Congratulations, host. You have received 50,000 Shock Points from Yan Luotian.

Congratulations, host. You have received...

Kaguya's ability to alter space completely frightened everyone senseless.

She Qingqing, a powerful Dou Venerate, was even more horrified beyond words.

Throughout history, perhaps only a Dou Emperor could create space. Even then, creating space was extremely difficult.

Yet this woman before them could create space with a casual wave of her hand. Could it be that she had truly once been an existence beyond the Dou Emperor realm?

What she did not know was that Kaguya merely controlled six spaces. Against true experts on the Dou Qi Continent, the ability was basically useless.

Ye Qianqian took everything in and felt that Kaguya was simply too amazing. She could not help asking the system, "System, what level of strength does the bodyguard you summoned for me have now?"

"Esteemed host, Kaguya's current strength is Nine-Star Dou Venerate, First Release state."

After hearing the system's report, Ye Qianqian sucked in a cold breath. A B-rank bodyguard was actually at the Nine-Star Dou Venerate realm—and in the First Release state at that! If she reached the Final Release, wouldn't her strength be comparable to a Dou Emperor?

The Unsealing state was divided into First Release, Second Release, Third Release, Fourth Release, and Final Release—five stages. With each stage unlocked, strength would increase by a huge step.

However, after reaching Dou Venerate One to Nine Revolutions and the Dou Saint Stage, the improvement was no longer so obvious.

Thus, Ye Qianqian estimated that after reaching the Final Release state, Kaguya should at least possess Dou Emperor-level strength.

"Junior Sister, who bullied you just now? Senior Sister will avenge you." Kaguya's face was full of affection as she gently rubbed Ye Qianqian's little head.

When She Qingqing and the others heard this, their two old legs began trembling. If such a godlike figure made a move, wouldn't they die without even a complete corpse?

"It was this old hag who bullied me. Senior Sister, beat her up!" Ye Qianqian proudly pointed at She Qingqing.

"Ding."

Congratulations, host. You have received 10,000 Shock Points from She Qingqing.

"Hmm!" Kaguya nodded and said, "Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have killed them. They heard our conversation just now. They know too much."

The moment those words left her mouth, She Qingqing's soul nearly flew out of her body. She grabbed the limp She Xiuyue from the ground and fled madly across the endless ice field with the five elderly women.

"Hmph. Just because you want to run doesn't mean you can."

Kaguya snorted coldly. She raised a hand and tore open a pitch-black spatial rift beside her, then reached her hand inside.

"Yomotsu Hirasaka."

In an instant, a spatial rift appeared behind She Qingqing and the others, who were thousands of kilometers away. A fair hand reached out, grabbed them one by one by the backs of their necks, and dragged them into the space.

After several splashes, Kaguya pulled She Qingqing and the others back out of the space in front of her.

This was Kaguya's second flashy technique, Yomotsu Hirasaka. It allowed her to travel freely through space like a Dou Saint, but with far greater ease. Its effects were similar to the Ancient Void Dragon's ability to travel through the void.

Moreover, this was a space she had created herself, a domain-type space. She possessed absolute control over it. Without the strength of a Dou Venerate One to Nine Revolutions, an enemy could not break through the space and escape.

"All-Killing Ash Bones!"

Several black iron rods shot from Kaguya's right palm and pierced She Qingqing and the others, pinning them firmly to the ground.

Seeing She Qingqing and the others let out shrill screams, Ye Qianqian knew that the disturbance had finally come to an end.

All-Killing Ash Bones was a ninjutsu that used one's own bones as weapons.

This technique could alter the structure of the bones, turning them into hard weapons. It could also shoot sharp bones from the palms. Anyone struck by the bones would gradually disintegrate. Even treatment with Yin-Yang Release was useless, and even the bodies of the dead revived through Impure World Reincarnation would collapse.

She Qingqing and the others desperately used Dou Qi to resist the invasion of the All-Killing Ash Bones, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Knowing that escape was impossible, she hurriedly begged, "Senior, we were wrong. What happened today was indeed our fault. Please spare this old woman's life."

"Hmph. Weren't you just ordering me to submit to you?" Ye Qianqian put on the air of a smug bully. Now that she had Kaguya, what did she have to fear?

"Just now, this old woman was blind and did not know what kind of person Senior was. I regret it deeply now. Please consider how difficult cultivation has been for us and let us go. This old woman is willing to lead your horses, serve as your footstool, and attend to both of you."

She Qingqing's words left the many Misty Cloud Sect disciples sighing in disbelief. This was a five-star Dou Venerate, yet this was their first time seeing such a powerful expert who was not even equal to a dog before their own ancestor.

They felt extremely fortunate to have joined the Misty Cloud Sect. As long as they performed well in the future, they would certainly accomplish something on the Dou Qi Continent.

"Senior Sister, let them go."

At Kaguya's command, she pulled the black rods from She Qingqing and the others. Only then could the group breathe steadily again.

"I announce that, from today onward, your Heaven Snake Mansion will come under the authority of my Misty Cloud Sect. Do you have any objections?" Ye Qianqian said.

"This old woman has no objections." After taking a healing pill, She Qingqing hurriedly nodded.

Ye Qianqian then looked at the dazed Medusa and said, "Medusa, from today onward, the disciples of the Heaven Snake Mansion will be under your control. As for She Qingqing and the others, they can join my Misty Cloud Sect and become sect elders."

Ye Qianqian was still somewhat wary of She Qingqing and the others, afraid that they might cause trouble without warning. After all, they possessed Dou Venerate strength. If they took advantage of chaos one day to stage a rebellion behind her back, that would be troublesome.

Thus, she decided to let Medusa manage the Heaven Snake Mansion's disciples, allowing the Snake People Clan to restrain one another. She could also tie Medusa, a potential rising star, to her own faction.

Besides, when she had time, she would have to raise the strength of Yun Shan, Yun Yun, Saber, and her other trusted aides.

"Me?" Medusa asked in disbelief.

"That's right." Ye Qianqian spoke in a commanding tone. "As the Nuwa Descendant, you cannot refuse. This is the first step in saving the Dou Qi Continent."

"Oh, oh." Medusa nodded, then felt a burst of wild joy in her heart. Although she was a woman, she was also the queen of the Snake People Clan, and she loved the feeling of holding great power in her hands.

She was confident that she could manage the Heaven Snake Mansion's disciples well. Since Lady Qianqian trusted her so much and had given her this opportunity, she absolutely could not disappoint Lady Qianqian's high expectations.

Ye Qianqian made several more arrangements, having Yun Shan, Xie Biyan, Yan Luotian, the Mu Lan Three Elders, and several other elders quickly reorganize the Misty Cloud Sect's forces. They would strive to merge the various disciples into one united whole in a short time, making them a truly solid bloc.

"All right, everything that needed arranging has been arranged. I should go find the culprit who caused this disturbance and settle the score once and for all." Ye Qianqian smiled coldly.
