NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7
“What?!”
Hong Qianye was stunned, a chill running through her heart.
“Hehe, with a figure like yours, even if you’re a guy, I can accept it. Now be a good one and lie down, I can’t wait to taste you,” the lecherous Reclusive Real Man said with a smirk, his eyes filled with intense desire.
“Get lost! I’d rather die than submit!!”
Hong Qianye roared, expending all her magical power. With rapid hand seals, flames of crimson orange erupted above her head like a magnificent lotus flower, bursting with terrifying energy.
The temperature around was rising fast, leaves on the ground igniting in flames.
“Hmm?”
The Reclusive Real Man’s expression changed, feeling a bit parched.
He had never seen a Foundation Establishment cultivator generate such a huge aura.
What level of spell was this?!
Profound Level? Or even Earth Level?
“You dog, you’ve really pissed me off!”
“Die!!”
Hong Qianye’s long hair flew wildly, her gaze icy and intimidating, like a once-mighty demoness reincarnated, her tone leaving no room for debate.
Swoosh!
The blooming flame lotus surged forward, carrying an overwhelming aura towards the Reclusive Real Man.
“You!”
Feeling the crushing pressure, the Reclusive Real Man turned pale, raising his hands to summon his magical artifact for defense.
But to his surprise, a few nails were quickly melted away.
In the next second, that orange flame lotus was upon him.
“Ahhh…”
The Reclusive Real Man let out a chilling wail as the flames burned him like a wild inferno.
After a moment, he was reduced to charred remnants, disappearing without a trace as the breeze swept by.
“You perverted freak, this is your own doing!”
Hong Qianye scoffed, staggering to the ground.
At this moment, her Dantian felt like it was about to shatter, a wave of intense weakness surging through her body.
That spell just now was Heavenly Level; though incredibly powerful, the cost was something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could hardly bear.
If that didn’t take him down, Hong Qianye would be completely out of options.
With her current state in freefall, even if she possessed various powerful spells, she didn’t have enough cultivation to execute them.
In the past, just a glance from her could wipe out such ants!
Now Hong Qianye, drained of magical power, felt feeble, like a lamb waiting for slaughter.
“Getting into all this mess, how unlucky can one be?”
“I need to get out of here immediately, find a place to recuperate and regroup.”
Struggling, Hong Qianye stood up.
“Hehe, that perverse jerk got what he deserved, but you, my friend, seem to have a lot going on!”
Suddenly, an abrupt voice made Hong Qianye’s heart leap into her throat.
A ragged, red-nosed old beggar with a wine gourd ambled out of the bamboo grove, a cunning glint in his eyes.
“Who are you?!”
Hong Qianye’s face darkened. Was this nonsense ever going to end?
“Don’t overthink, young friend. I just happened to pass by and stumbled upon this interesting scene. Though I know the Reclusive Real Man, I have no deep connections with him; I won’t pursue his death,” the beggar said with a benevolent smile, “Besides, I have a normal orientation, so you needn’t worry.”
“That’s good.”
Hong Qianye breathed a sigh of relief and cupped her hands, saying, “If that’s the case, let’s meet again by chance. Farewell!”
Instinctively, she felt this old beggar was dangerous!
Just as Hong Qianye turned around, a gust of wind swept by, and the beggar suddenly appeared before her, grinning with crooked yellow teeth, “But compared to that fellow, I’m more interested in the secrets you hold…”
Boom!
In an instant.
A Golden Core realm’s pressure enveloped Hong Qianye, forcing her down to half-kneel, her bones cracking under the strain, bloodshot eyes staring intensely.
“You!”
Hong Qianye’s eyes widened, knowing she could hardly escape this tribulation.
After all, she was once a mighty demoness, having fought her way through to become an Immortal, fully aware of the treacheries among cultivators and their dangerous schemes.
This old guy was after her Immortal fortune!
“Hehe, let me see what’s in your head and how you can wield such powerful spells.”
The beggar’s eyes glinted coldly as he slowly extended his withered hand.
“I’ll ruin your ancestors!”
Hong Qianye gritted her teeth, panic rising in her heart.
In her current state, she was like a fish on a chopping block, unable to fight back!
Was this where her path to rebuilding her power would end?
At that moment, the beggar, still smiling, pressed his palm atop Hong Qianye’s head, ready to recklessly perform a soul search.
“I won’t accept this, I refuse!”
Hong Qianye’s mind screamed, a wave of humiliation washing over her.
Boom!
Just then.
A terrifying pressure descended, as if the heavens were about to collapse.
“Who?!”
The old beggar’s face changed dramatically, a surge of immense fear washing over him as he turned to look.
On the other side, ripples spread through the void, revealing a ethereal young man in black robes, hands clasped behind his back, stepping forth.
Long silver hair flew wildly, a beautiful face illuminated in an extraordinary light, his gaze like two icy beams piercing straight through!
The beggar dared not move, sweat dripping from his forehead as he stuttered, “S-Senior…”
Ye Junlin frowned, his eyes shifting from the beggar to Hong Qianye, who was half-kneeling on the ground.
“Hmm?”
Instantly, Ye Junlin’s expression became peculiar.
“Seriously? This is the Fire Cult Leader? A True Immortal level? This is just a Foundation Establishment weakling, are you trying to fool me?!”
[Ding, the system is not deceiving you, this was indeed the Fire Cult Leader at True Immortal level, but his cultivation has fallen.]
[Ding, Eye of Insight has been activated for the host!]
The next second.
Hong Qianye’s personal information formed a virtual panel, floating before Ye Junlin.
[Name]: Hong Qianye
[Gender]: Female
[Cultivation Level]: Early Foundation Establishment
[Talent]: Damaged Celestial Fire Spirit Root
[Identity]: Former Fire Cult Leader, True Immortal realm cultivator who crossed tribulation to become an Immortal
…
“Dang, it’s true!”
Ye Junlin was taken aback, not expecting this once-mighty figure to now be worse off than a chicken.
“Wait!”
“This… this is actually a female?!”
Ye Junlin stared in shock at the gender section, then carefully scrutinized Hong Qianye again, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.
Her fair, smooth skin, exquisite features, those captivating Danfeng eyes that could snatch a soul, and the fiery red mark between her brows adding a unique charm and grace.
With looks like this, countless girls would feel inferior!
Cough, cough, and it turns out she’s a female?
Ye Junlin initially thought she might be a cross-dressing dude, but judging by what she wore, it seemed completely natural, just stunningly beautiful without any effort. With that long hair, anyone could easily mistake her for a guy.
“Though she’s only at Foundation Establishment, with that level of talent, she should be able to reclaim her former heights.”
“Taking her as a disciple, now that’s a win!”
Ye Junlin pondered secretly.
Moreover, being able to command a former demon cult leader, a once lofty Immortal—it’d be quite the thrill just to imagine!
“It’s over; the opponent is a Transformation Stage cultivator, I’m in deep trouble today…”
Hong Qianye displayed despair, not feeling happy with Ye Junlin’s arrival.
In her view, the secret she held could set the entire cultivation world ablaze; how many mighty figures would clash to snatch this Immortal fortune?
Thus, this silver-haired youth was no exception!
Once the beggar was killed, she would also fall into someone else’s hands, and the outcome wouldn’t change at all!
