Taken Away by a Demonic Cultivator?

Whatever, she would know once she went to take a look. Walking up to the egg, Jiang Wan bit her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the emerald-green shell. With a crack, a fissure appeared in the eggshell.

It gave Jiang Wan a fright. She was not paying compensation for it.

Fortunately, it had only cracked a little and showed no further reaction. She hurriedly placed the egg into the Spirit Feeding Ring.

[The Azure Dragon Clan was slaughtered by you, its bloodline scattered and extinguished. This time, you traversed the Myriad Worlds and found the last drop of dragon bloodline among countless minor worlds, taking it as your spirit pet. You must have endured countless hardships.

Mission complete.

Mission reward: Enlightenment Tea Tree.]

Jiang Wan saw a small green tea sapling. Once she got back and found a place to plant it, she would have Enlightenment Tea to drink.

The key problem now was still how to get back up.

"System, how can I get up?"

[As the host is the Supreme Heavenly Demon, with cultivation at the pinnacle, leaving this place is merely a matter of lifting a foot.]

Jiang Wan lifted her foot, stomped it, and spun around in place. Where was the way up?

By early the next morning, the entire back mountain had been turned upside down. Jiang Wan was gone.

At first, the Foundation Establishment Martial Uncles thought Jiang Wan had gone to the toilet or run off somewhere to play. But after searching the entire back mountain without finding her, everyone truly panicked.

"Where is she? How could she have vanished?"

"Senior Brother Han Li was on watch last night. Where is Senior Brother Han Li?"

Someone began looking for Han Li and found him unconscious on the ground. When they woke him, he knew nothing.

This was no small matter. Everyone began searching the back mountain while reporting it to Venerable Yu Yi.

Tomorrow was the disciple-acceptance ceremony. As the main figures, Jiang Yao and Jiang Wan were naturally supposed to attend.

The two children only needed to go acknowledge a master before being sent back, but they still had to go. If Jiang Wan could not go, would that not leave Jiang Yao alone?

Venerable Yu Yi was alarmed. His disciple had gone missing—how could he care about anything else? He directly performed Soul Searching on Han Li.

"Venerable, spare him! For the sake of his saving Little Fairy Jiang Wan last time, please spare his life!"

Seeing that Venerable Yu Yi was about to kill him, a disciple at the side hurriedly pleaded for mercy.

At that moment, Madam Li came staggering over, clutching her chest. A dagger stained with demonic qi was still lodged in it.

"Save... save me!

Venerable Yu Yi, Wanwan... Wanwan was taken... taken away by a demonic cultivator!"

Venerable Yu Yi was greatly shocked. "What happened?

Tell me in detail. How could a demonic cultivator appear within the sect?"

Madam Li clutched the dagger in her chest and spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Please save me, Venerable Yu Yi."

Anxious to learn what had happened to his little disciple, Venerable Yu Yi found healing a late Qi Refinement cultivator as easy as turning his hand over.

He first used spiritual power to force the dagger out of her body.

Then he gave her the finest healing pill.

"Alright. Now tell me exactly what happened."

Madam Li's face was filled with lingering fear.

"Last night, I could not sleep. My heart was in a panic, so I wanted to come check on the children.

Unexpectedly, before I even reached this place, I saw a person shrouded in black qi grabbing Wanwan and leaving. I immediately stepped forward to stop him, but my cultivation was too low. He severely wounded me, and I fell unconscious.

When I woke up, I heard that the child was already missing, so I rushed here at once. Venerable Yu Yi, you must save Wanwan!

I watched that child grow up. I was wondering why my heart had been so unsettled—it turned out she was about to suffer misfortune."

Venerable Yu Yi's brows furrowed slightly.

"How could a demonic cultivator appear within the sect? Outrageous! He even dared abduct my disciple. Did you see the symbol on that demonic cultivator's clothes? Which demonic sect was he from?

This old man will immediately go slaughter my way in and out of that demonic sect three times!

If they dare refuse to hand over my disciple, then even if I must stake this old life, I will stir that demonic sect until not even chickens and dogs are left in peace!"

How could Madam Li know anything about demonic sects? Even the demonic cultivator's dagger on her body had been picked up on the back mountain according to her daughter's instructions.

"I do not know either. I was in such a rush to save her that I did not notice such things."

Venerable Yu Yi's brows knitted tightly.

Madam Li probed cautiously, "You are Wanwan's master. Did you leave any imprint on her, or anything else that could help you find her?"

Venerable Yu Yi slapped his hand against his forehead.

"How did I forget that? Once I find that child this time, I must leave an imprint on him."

Madam Li paused. If she had known earlier that Venerable Yu Yi had not left a Spiritual Sense Imprint on Jiang Wan, she should have simply struck to kill.

No, what if Sect Master Leng Feng had left a Spiritual Sense Imprint on Jiang Wan?

She still could not take that risk.

"Then what should we do now? Venerable Yu Yi, please, you must find my daughter!

Though she is not my biological child, I have raised her for so many years, and there are feelings between us. I hate that my cultivation is too low to save her.

Why not chase after them now? Perhaps they have not gone too far?"

The instant Venerable Yu Yi heard this, he vanished from the spot.

Madam Li's expression twisted for an instant as she desperately held down the corners of her lips to keep herself from smiling.

Without Venerable Yu Yi and Jiang Wan at the disciple-acceptance ceremony, her daughter would be the most dazzling rising star in the entire Cultivation World. Jiang Wan would surely die in that Myriad Snake Den this time. No one would ever compete with her daughter again.

"Waaah! Wanwan! Where did Wanwan go? She is not really in trouble, is she?"

Nangong Wanyu cried until her little face was covered in snot and tears.

The other three were also anxious, but anxiety was useless. With only the three of them, they would not be able to find her even if they went out.

Xu Hengliang walked over with his little face taut.

"Stop crying! You are so noisy!

Isn't she really strong? What could possibly happen to her?

Maybe she will be back by tomorrow's disciple-acceptance ceremony."

Nangong Wanyu blinked her watery eyes at him.

"Really?

Will Wanwan really come back tomorrow?"

Xu Hengliang tossed out, "How would I know?!" and walked away.

He was upset too. His master had been in secluded cultivation all this time and had shown no intention of taking advantage of tomorrow's disciple-acceptance ceremony to hold one for him as well.

So annoying. If Jiang Wan was not there and his grandmaster did not hold the disciple-acceptance ceremony, would that not mean he had even less chance of having one himself?

He had heard that the sect had been especially lively lately. Many cultivators from major sects had come, even bringing their own disciples along.

Even many cultivators from their Myriad Array Sect had come.

Suddenly thinking of something, he ran to find Jiang Yao.

"Did you trick Jiang Wan into going to the back mountain?"

Jiang Yao was suddenly blocked by him. Hearing her words, she frowned and inwardly cursed, Damn brat.

"Senior Brother Xu, I did not. Jiang Wan is my younger sister too. How could I do such a thing to her? I heard from my Mother that she seemed to have been taken by a demonic cultivator. I do not know whether he will make her cultivate demonic arts.

I am worried about her too. I hope Venerable Yu Yi can bring her back soon."

Thinking of what had happened last time, something in the child's mind seemed to have suddenly clicked into place, and he had actually begun to suspect Jiang Yao.

"Really?"

Jiang Yao nodded obediently.

"Really, really. I am not lying to you."

Xu Hengliang snorted. "You had better be telling the truth, or I will beat you up!"

Su Yunrou immediately rushed over and confronted Xu Hengliang.

"What are you doing? Do not think about bullying my Junior Sister!"

Xu Hengliang rolled his eyes and walked away. Su Yunrou patted Jiang Yao's shoulder.

"Junior Sister, tomorrow is the disciple-acceptance ceremony. I heard many people have already arrived outside. You will be in the limelight then, so perform well."

Jiang Yao smiled and nodded. Of course she would perform well. After all, it would be her disciple-acceptance ceremony alone.
