Zhou Zhennan was utterly bewildered as Ye Qianqian fooled him around.
However, they were merely one of the many groups that had fallen for the deception.
The three thousand clones worked in pairs, each pair putting on a double act. They frequently appeared at sects of all sizes across the northwestern continent, showing off and frightening people to their hearts' content. They scared the sect masters and pavilion heads half to death.
At the same time, various versions of the incident continued to play out.
Sometimes, at the most unexpected moment, the fake Leng Bingyan would suddenly appear before everyone. Then, after encountering the mighty and invincible Ye Qianqian, the fake Leng Bingyan would immediately flee in panic.
Sometimes, someone would just come out of the latrine with their pants not even pulled up when the fake Leng Bingyan gave them a tremendous fright. Yet Ye Qianqian, bursting with a sense of justice, would still appear to save them from danger.
The people sighed, revered, and worshiped her, endlessly praising Ye Qianqian's nobility, righteousness, and compassion. They began singing her praises, which also made the Misty Cloud Sect famous.
Some sect leaders seemed to have seen through the situation. Leng Bingyan was actually Ye Qianqian's defeated opponent, which was why she fled at the mere rumor of her arrival. This gave them an idea: join the Misty Cloud Sect and obtain its protection.
If one day the superhero Ye Qianqian happened to be unable to come out and save them, wouldn't that let the evil Leng Bingyan take advantage of the opportunity?
Thus, all the sects unanimously contacted several elders of the Misty Cloud Sect and explained their desire to join. The elders responsible for registering them were worked to the bone.
In just five or six days, nearly half of the sect forces had brought their entire families and joined the Misty Cloud Sect. The entire Jiama Sacred City was packed with disciples from various sects and clans.
Since Medusa and the other nine people were in secluded cultivation, the task of integrating these forces fell entirely on the shoulders of Yun Shan, She Xiuyue, and She Qingqing. They were so busy that sweat poured down their bodies.
Only then did She Qingqing understand why Yun Shan had proposed changing the sect master every two years. Anyone who became sect master while having to deal with this mess had to be out of their mind.
Still, there were both good and bad sides to the situation.
Because of Ye Qianqian's antics, traces of Leng Bingyan could now be found across nearly the entire northwest. The Saints of the Stone Spirit Tribes were completely dumbfounded. Just when they had finally found Leng Bingyan's aura, the trail abruptly vanished.
"Hahaha, all of you are going to die today!" An ugly old woman stood atop a city, baring her teeth and acting arrogantly. The city's residents were so terrified that they fled with their heads covered.
"Impudent Leng Bingyan! I, Ye Qianqian, have already arrived. How dare you continue acting so recklessly?"
The ugly old woman burned with rage and fled into the distance. Before leaving, she did not forget to shout a few words: "Damn it, Ye Qianqian! Why can't I defeat you? If Leng Bingyan had to be born, why did Ye Qianqian have to be born too?"
"Good! Good! Good!" As soon as the ugly old woman retreated, the city's residents erupted into cheers.
The Yun Lan Ancestor truly was the goddess who had saved the world!
Their lives had been saved!
They ought to hold a celebration today to commemorate the Yun Lan Ancestor driving Leng Bingyan away for the fifty-second time!
Ye Qianqian's clone said, "Saving the world is my responsibility. The people of this world are all my family. I must protect Muye... Er, no, I must protect the northwest and give everyone a peaceful, quiet, and happy place to live."
After saying this, the Ye Qianqian clone also flew into the distance. A righteous voice faintly echoed across the horizon: "Justice is always late, so I've decided to 'get moving.'"
In a tavern inside the city, an incomparably beautiful woman's face suddenly turned livid. With a crack, she crushed the wine cup in her hand into powder.
"Shameless wretch! How dare you borrow my name to swindle people? Ye Qianqian of the Misty Cloud Sect, is it? Once I escape those Saints' pursuit, I'll go to your Misty Cloud Sect and drain every single person there of their power of time!"
This woman was the real Leng Bingyan. She had temporarily kept a low profile to evade the pursuit of the Saints of the Stone Spirit Tribes, but she had never expected Ye Qianqian, that shameless old thief, to steal her name. It was truly infuriating.
And so, after another twenty-odd days, the sect forces across the entire northwestern continent swarmed toward the Misty Cloud Sect.
The masters of the various sects brought numerous elders and disciples and all stationed themselves on Misty Cloud Mountain. Even Jiama Sacred City was somewhat overcrowded, with some people forced to sleep on the ground.
There was no helping it. Leng Bingyan was afraid of Ye Qianqian, so only the Misty Cloud Sect's location was safe.
Ye Qianqian finally received the system reward she had been eagerly awaiting.
"Ding!"
Congratulations, host Ye Qianqian, on successfully completing the system mission.
System rewards: One lottery wheel upgrade and one God-tier Building Group Lottery draw.
Ye Qianqian took a look at the building group lottery and was immediately startled. This building group lottery was truly extraordinary.
She could draw a huge spiritual mountain paradise from it, one capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands of people.
Its buildings included the Eastern Heavenly Palace City and Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Mount Olympus and its temples from Greek mythology, the Spiritual Mountain Great Thunder Sound Temple of the Western Heaven, the paradise of the Western Bible, and many other super-divine structures. They all appeared on the lottery wheel in different categories.
The Deception Grand Wheel had also been upgraded once, raising the chance of winning the grand prize to thirty-five percent.
There had originally been six prizes, but another had been added, bringing the total to seven: Super Saiyan Bloodline, one bag of Dragon Ball Senzu Beans, Ten Thousand Times Gravity Chamber, Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Nothing, Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga, and Magneto Mutant Gene.
Ye Qianqian's heart surged with excitement. The prizes were excellent after the wheel's upgrade. It even contained the four great treasures from Dragon Ball.
The grand prize was actually the Super Saiyan Bloodline. This was no worse than Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet. If properly developed, it could destroy the stars and universe all the same.
However, the cost of each draw had increased from one hundred thousand Shock Points to one million.
"System, I want to draw!" Ye Qianqian rubbed her fists, eager to try.
The lottery wheel began spinning rapidly.
"Ding!"
Congratulations, host, you have obtained one bag of Dragon Ball Senzu Beans. One million Shock Points have been consumed.
At last, it wasn't Nothing this time.
In an instant, a bag of Senzu Beans appeared in her hand. She carefully opened it and looked inside.
"These are the Senzu Beans from the Dragon Ball world?"
Ye Qianqian picked up a Senzu Bean and examined it closely.
Senzu Beans were quite famous in the Dragon Ball world. No matter how severely you had been injured or how much strength you had expended, eating one would immediately let you get back on your feet like a cockroach.
She opened the system's exchange interface and checked the normal exchange value of Senzu Beans. It was also one million Shock Points, so she had not lost out.
"Again!"
"Ding!"
Congratulations, host, you have obtained one bag of Dragon Ball Senzu Beans. One million Shock Points have been consumed.
Congratulations, host, you have obtained one bag of Dragon Ball Senzu Beans. One million Shock Points have been consumed.
Congratulations, host, you have obtained one bag of Dragon Ball Senzu Beans. One million Shock Points have been consumed.
Congratulations, host, you have obtained Nothing. One million Shock Points have been consumed.
After drawing ten times in succession, only three draws resulted in Nothing, while the other seven all yielded Senzu Beans. Counting them carefully, she had obtained a total of seven hundred Senzu Beans.
However, Ye Qianqian did not stop. Her mind was entirely focused on the grand prize and the second- and third-place prizes.
The situation on the northwestern continent was becoming increasingly complicated, and the Misty Cloud Sect had attracted the attention of the Ancient Families. She had to find a way to increase her strength.
Whether it was the Saiyan Bloodline, Magneto Mutant Gene, or Tetsusaiga, all of them could strengthen her. She did not want to give up on drawing.
"Today, I'm setting myself a small goal: spend three hundred million and take a gamble. Turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!"
Ye Qianqian continued hurling Shock Points into the wheel. Since the hope of winning the grand prize was so slim, she kept muttering Magneto Mutant Gene and Tetsusaiga under her breath.
"Ding!"
Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Ten Thousand Times Gravity Chamber. One million Shock Points have been consumed.
Congratulations, host, you have obtained one bag of Dragon Ball Senzu Beans. One million Shock Points have been consumed.
Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. One million Shock Points have been consumed.
Before long, three hundred million Shock Points had dwindled to one million, yet she still had not drawn the first three prizes. Ye Qianqian grew angry.
Although the upgrade had increased the winning probability, the odds were still far too low.
"Gaining it is luck; losing it is fate. I'll draw one last time!" She sighed and tapped the wheel once more.
"Ding!"
Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Super Saiyan Bloodline. One million Shock Points have been consumed.
"Yeah!"
Ye Qianqian cheered loudly, incredibly excited. She had actually won the grand prize.
She took the bottle containing the golden liquid, opened her mouth, and gulped down the bloodline power.
"Now that's more like it!"
In an instant, she felt as though she had eaten a candy bar and drunk an energy drink. Her entire body filled with strength. This was not an increase in battle qi, but pure physical power.
Moreover, she felt her body continuously growing taller. Although she was only eleven years old, her body now looked fifteen. Her previously flat chest had somehow grown to a C cup. Her formerly loose muscles became firm and elastic, while her shoulders narrowed and waist slimmed. Her skin was fair as snow, her tall figure curvaceous, and her long hair grew much longer, reaching her waist.
She had originally looked like a little girl, but now she had become a beautiful young lady.
The childishness on her face had faded, replaced by breathtaking beauty. When she smiled with her peach-like cheeks, she radiated an elegant and otherworldly air.
She lightly clenched her fist, and sonic booms continuously erupted between her five fingers. Her physical strength had undergone a tremendous transformation. At the same time, she felt that the bloodline within her had not yet been completely absorbed.
"System, can I transform into a Super Saiyan now?"
After obtaining the Saiyan Bloodline, Ye Qianqian hurriedly asked.
"No, esteemed host. If you wish to transform into a Super Saiyan sooner, you still need to improve yourself further. Only after your physical strength breaks through its limit will you be able to transform into Super Saiyan One."
"All right!" Ye Qianqian was already very satisfied. Since she could not transform into a Super Saiyan immediately, she would work hard to increase her physical strength.
She had just drawn the Ten Thousand Times Gravity Chamber, Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and Senzu Beans, which would be perfect for tempering her Saiyan Bloodline.
With the Hyperbolic Time Chamber's enormous advantage, cultivating inside for one year would amount to only a single day outside. She could increase her strength quickly, and by then, the Misty Cloud Sect would have established itself on the northwestern continent.
