Gao Yuzhu joined the Chayi Sect, using all her schemes and methods to reach this day.

She herself never expected to die so simply.

With Gao Yuzhu's death, Situ Yuelan fulfilled her promised karma. Driving the bronze mirror with her magic power became much easier, and the condensed Yin Cold Qi's power increased slightly.

The Green-clothed Female Cultivator, whom she had stopped earlier, thought she had an opportunity when Situ Yuelan was distracted and was about to cast a spell.

But seeing Gao Yuzhu die in the blink of an eye, she was shocked and retreated.

Situ Yuelan recited an incantation, and a stream of Yin Cold Qi flew out of the bronze mirror, transforming into a sword and piercing the Green-clothed Female Cultivator through.

The Yin Cold Qi instantly covered the Green-clothed Female Cultivator's body, engulfing her Divine Soul along with it, and dragging her into the bronze mirror.

"After all, she's in the Contemplation Realm. Refining her into a puppet isn't bad!"

Situ Yuelan held the bronze mirror and set her sights on the other female cultivators of the Chayi Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Mingzi, let's finish this quickly. Two have already died, their soul lamps extinguished. Fairy Caiyi will sense this place soon, we can't be careless!"

As she spoke, Situ Yuelan held the bronze mirror in the air. Under the impetus of her magic power, it transformed into a Yin-heavy giant hand, grabbing the Blue-clothed Female Cultivator and refining her with a secret method.

The Blue-clothed Female Cultivator's soul was fixed, her body stiffened, and she was pulled into the bronze mirror.

With this move, Situ Yuelan killed three people.

Chen Ming's pressure immediately lessened. Three of the seven interwoven beams of light from the flying shuttles fell.

"Qing Ling, don't let that one escape!"

Chen Ming called out, noticing the Orange-clothed Female Cultivator was quietly escaping.

After Qing Ling transformed into a demon, her strength before Chen Ming and Situ Yuelan was not fully displayed, but she could still rival the strength of those in the Contemplation Realm like "Fairy Caiyi".

Qing Ling dared not be careless. Her head flew out from her neck first, while her body twisted and transformed into a tree body behind.

Attacking from both front and back, she blocked the Orange-clothed Female Cultivator's escape route.

"My life is over!"

The Orange-clothed Female Cultivator cried out before being whipped to death by the branches extending from Qing Ling's tree demon body. Her Divine Soul jumped out but was also swallowed by the head.

Another of the seven flying shuttles fell.

Only the purple, red, and green ones remained, no match for Chen Ming.

Chen Ming opened his mouth and inhaled. The Divine Souls of the three female cultivators swayed, almost scattering.

In this brief moment, Chen Ming's green light and golden flames struck the purple and red ones.

The magic sword also landed on the green-clothed cultivator, disrupting the flow of her magic power and spiritual sense.

The remaining three flying shuttles instantly dimmed. Chen Ming flicked his hand, and his magic power surged, suppressing the seven flying shuttles.

Dense swarms of insects danced within the poisonous smoke and charged forward, devouring the three female cultivators in an instant.

Situ Yuelan returned to the bronze mirror, which hovered in the air.

Qing Ling reattached her severed head to her body and stood behind Chen Ming.

"Fellow Daoist, flee quickly!"

"The Seven-Colored Clothes are all annihilated. Fairy Caiyi will notice soon and likely won't be able to sit still!"

Situ Yuelan's voice echoed from within the bronze mirror.

Chen Ming did not dare to be careless. Although he had appeared mighty in destroying those seven, if a Great Cultivator in the Spirit Condensation Realm were to appear, they would be no match and would surely die.

Chen Ming beckoned, collecting the bronze mirror into his sleeve, and said, "Fellow Daoist, please bear with this for a moment!"

With that, he recited an incantation, swept up Qing Ling, and with smoke swirling behind him, vanished without a trace.

Upon the immortal mountain, Fairy Caiyi sat serenely, appreciating the shifting clouds, her heart at ease.

Suddenly, her eyes widened. Seven-colored light flickered on her plain white dress as she arrived at the place where her disciples' soul lamps were kept.

All seven soul lamps of the Contemplation Realm disciples had been extinguished.

Fairy Caiyi's expression turned grim. With a "crash," she knocked the extinguished soul lamps to the floor.

"A bunch of trash!"

Her earlier calm demeanor vanished as she let out an enraged roar.

Immediately after, she let out a strange, piercing shriek.

The seven-colored mist shrouding the Mountain Gate writhed, and a giant Luan Bird flew out from within.

The feathers of the Luan Bird were formed from clouds, displaying seven colors.

Seven-colored cloud patterns materialized on Fairy Caiyi's plain white dress, and she leaped onto the Luan Bird's back.

The Luan Bird carried Fairy Caiyi, soaring into the sky, leaving a long trail of colorful light in its wake, a truly beautiful sight.

In less than half an incense stick's time, Fairy Caiyi, riding the Luan Bird, arrived at Cuiping Mountain.

Seeing the desolate state of Cuiping Mountain and the chaotic spiritual energy, Fairy Caiyi's rage over the annihilation of her Seven-Colored Clothes could not be quelled. With a wave of her hand, the Luan Bird's long tail swept out, and Cuiping Mountain collapsed with a roar.

"I'd like to see where you think you can run!"

Fairy Caiyi calculated with her fingers, but frowned.

She could only deduce a general direction, not the exact location.

But following the clues she'd calculated, she still pursued them.

On the other end, Chen Ming activated a secret method, continuously moving away, following Situ Yuelan's advice to change routes.

After traveling for a full half month, they finally arrived at a continuous mountain range and stopped.

"I've used a secret method to conceal our spiritual energy, so it won't be easy for Fairy Caiyi to find us. By the time she tracks us down, we'll already be inside this Vast Mountain Range, and she might not dare to enter!"

"My body fell into this mountain range and transformed into three hundred spiritual items, making it a bit difficult to find."

Situ Yuelan materialized and said, holding a bronze mirror.

"What's so mysterious about the Vast Mountain Range that a Spirit Condensation Realm great cultivator like Fairy Caiyi dares not enter?"

Chen Ming was puzzled. If, as Situ Yuelan said, Spirit Condensation Realm cultivators dared not enter, and they were only at the Contemplation Realm, wouldn't it be even more dangerous inside the mountains?

Situ Yuelan smiled, "The Vast Mountain Range harbors hidden cultivators from various heretical paths, and the mountains are vast, making it very easy to conceal one's tracks."

"Although Fairy Caiyi is in the Spirit Condensation Realm, she hails from Biyun Heavenly Palace. The one guarding the Vast Mountain Range is a Spirit Condensation Realm disciple from the Myriad Laws Sect."

"The grievances between the Myriad Laws Sect and Biyun Heavenly Palace are too complex to explain in a few words. Fairy Caiyi's aura, once she enters the Vast Mountain Range, will be like a beacon, inevitably drawing all sorts of schemes and ambushes. It's uncertain if she'll even make it out alive!"

"The path I cultivate has some connection to the Myriad Laws Sect. My body scattered throughout the mountains, though difficult to find, gives me some hope!"

Chen Ming heard this and said, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Situ to have such a background. No wonder you dared to scheme against the Chayi Sect; you have roots and backing."

"It's just some minor connections. If Fairy Caiyi had deep ties with Biyun Heavenly Palace, I wouldn't dare to scheme like this," Situ Yuelan said.

This was not false modesty. Both Biyun Heavenly Palace and the Myriad Laws Sect were top-tier sects of the present era, with countless powerful cultivators.

Having some connections and involvement was already quite remarkable.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Situ, have you remembered those two magic arts?" Chen Ming suddenly asked.

Situ Yuelan's expression changed. Seemingly having made a decision, she said, "Since Fellow Daoist asks, I will hide it no longer. After all, I will still need your help to succeed!"

Seeking follow-up reading, favorites, and recommendation tickets! I ask all fellow Daoists to lend me a hand and help me become a demon soon!
