Chapter 466: Old Loli, Toe digging into the ground
Clouds shadows traverse the sky, as moonlit water sprinkles the vast land.
After a sky-breaking white light, all things returned to silence.
On the broken hills, Zu Yuan held his horsetail whisk, chest out, head up, glancing at the two people lying not far ahead, his expression as placid as a still pool, even appearing a bit stunned.
The golden light of Daoist charm surrounding him gradually dissipated after a moment.
Clang—
The Yin-yang jade floating before him gradually lost its spiritual light, becoming like a piece of pure stone. It dropped beside his withered feet, rolling down the hillside.
Zu Yuan subconsciously made a sword finger, wanting to retrieve it, but after waving his hand, he suddenly froze. Then, as if relieved, a wry smile appeared on his face.
“Heh heh…”
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, ruffling the fine hairs on his skin.
“Achoo—!!!”
Zu Yuan couldn’t help but sneeze, instinctively shrinking his neck and rubbing his shoulder. But after a moment of daze, the wry smile on his face overflowed again.
This bone-chilling cold wind reminded him of a word he had buried deep in his memory for twenty thousand years.
—Catching a cold.
Zu Yuan wryly smiled, subconsciously flicked his finger again, wanting to take out a piece of clothing from his storage bag to put on, but when he saw his high-grade storage bag embroidered with Yin-yang fish at his waist react to his finger flick, he sighed heavily.
“Alas…”
At this moment, a bell sound came from above.
Si Xuanji floated down slowly like a feather, landing in front of him. She turned her head and glanced at him. Like a mischievous child, she narrowed her cat-like lips and sneered with raised eyebrows.
“Pfft~”
Looking at her expression, Zu Yuan felt a sense of injustice, as if he were an old man being bullied by a group of village children.
He was, after all, a Void Returning cultivator. This brat only dared to sneak into dragon lairs and mock him. Not only was she not afraid of him, but she wouldn’t dare to truly anger him.
But now, his cultivation was gone, his body was old and weak, and he couldn’t even fly on his sword. If this brat didn’t take him back to Taibai Sect later, he might starve or freeze to death in these mountains.
“I never thought I’d live to see the Dao Ancestor freeze and get a runny nose, pfpfpfpf~~”
“Brat, are you happy now?”
Si Xuanji floated in mid-air, looking down and shaking her head. “It’s not that I’m happy, but I didn’t expect you to be willing to give up your twenty thousand years of cultivation and return to a mortal body. Don’t you find it a pity?”
“Heh heh… how could I not find it a pity?”
Zu Yuan looked up at the starry sky, feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with his mortal body. He found it vast and terrifying. “If there were truly a regret pill in the world, I would want to take a lick right now. It’s a pity there isn’t…”
At this point, Zu Yuan’s brow twitched slightly, and he asked, “Speaking of which, why are you, Dan Yue, in the Southern Domain?”
“To protect Ye Anping… Of course, I can’t say that.” Si Xuanji pouted and thought for a moment, then answered his question with a question. “Is it better if I don’t come?”
“Heh heh… No, no. I also didn’t expect that you, young Dan Yue, would have such a side to you.”
“Such… what side?”
Zu Yuan, playing the mystery man, answered with a burst of laughter.
“Heh heh hahahaha…”
?
This old man Zu has been laughing non-stop since a moment ago…
Si Xuanji slightly furrowed her brows, feeling a little confused. She even suspected that Zu Yuan had dementia.
The next moment, her Yin-yang eyes glanced towards Mei Yunlu on the side.
Mei Yunlu was lying on the ground, looking at them. She took out a body-concealing mystical treasure from her storage bag and was about to use it when Si Xuanji instantly appeared beside her and stomped on her wrist, then sealed her meridians with spiritual energy.
“Cough—Ah—!”
Si Xuanji used her foot to flip her over halfway, then stepped on her left breast.
The feeling of stepping on something unpleasant made Si Xuanji’s brows twitch. What did this person eat to grow?
“Tsk…”
Si Xuanji clicked her tongue and conjured a golden thread from her sleeve, waving her robe.
In the next moment, the golden thread shot out like a needle and pierced Mei Yunlu’s chest, wrapping and tightening around her vital points.
“Cough ah—!!” Mei Yunlu sensed something was wrong and quickly raised her hands to beg for mercy. “Dan Yue Shang Xian!!! Sister!!”
However, there was no tenderness in Si Xuanji’s eyes. Her Yin-yang eyes were as cold as a frozen river.
The next moment, a golden light descended from the sky. A hand grabbed the golden thread in Si Xuanji’s hand.
“Fairy Dan Yue, please show mercy.”
A shiny bald head appeared before her. Taishang Wusun was nearly seven feet tall, forcing Si Xuanji to look up to see his face.
“Although Benefactor Mei has committed many sins, if she turns back now, she will surely do good in the future. Please allow this humble monk to take her back to the sect for re-education. Is Benefactor Mei willing?”
“Yes, yes!” Seeing Taishang Wusun arrive, Mei Yunlu quickly begged for mercy. “I…”
Si Xuanji frowned slightly upon hearing this and inadvertently raised her right hand.
“Ahhh—!”
After a tragic wail, Mei Yunlu instantly rotted into a withered corpse. Her proud breasts visibly deflated.
Mei Yunlu used her last breath to call out to Taishang Wusun for help.
“Taishang… save…”
But before she could finish speaking, she died and turned into dust, blown away by the wind.
Taishang Wusun sighed slightly upon seeing this and clasped his hands in prayer.
“Amitabha, amitabha…”
Si Xuanji pointed at Rong Liuyan lying on the side. “You can take that bug back for re-education.”
Taishang Wusun glanced at the six snake-like eyes of Rong Liuyan . He clasped his hands, shook his head, and said, “I don’t ferry bugs… Please, Fairy Dan Yue, use your spiritual methods…”
Before Taishang Wusun could finish speaking, Si Xuanji had already flashed away. She grabbed Zu Yuan by the collar and took him into the starry sky, heading towards Taibai Sect.
Watching the brilliant light, like a shooting star, gradually disappear into the distance, Taishang Wusun was stunned for a while before turning to look at Rong Liuyan on the side.
The body of a Gu cultivator was filled with Gu poison. If he died here, the Southern Domain would be uninhabitable in the future.
Taishang Wusun pondered for a moment, sighed with some frustration, took out a bottle, and put Rong Liuyan into it. He then transformed into a golden light and hurried back to his Wunian Sect.

Dong—dong…
The morning bell of Taibai Sect rang across the twelve mist-shrouded peaks.
Ye Anping, wearing the Daoist robe of Xuan Xing Sect, walked out of the main hall of the main peak, his face showing fatigue. He looked at the rising sun peeking out from the horizon, then exhaled heavily and stretched.
“Hoo…”
After about six days of intense fighting, the demonic cultivators on the twelve peaks of Taibai Sect had been almost completely cleared. The remaining few residual Gu worms had to be searched for by the disciples of Taibai Sect one by one.
He was finally able to withdraw from his duties and get some rest.
After watching the sun rise in the east for a while, Ye Anping prepared to borrow a Spirit Gathering Array to cultivate and prepare for his second Heavenly Tribulation.
Although the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation was powerful, its number was only half that of the Core Formation Heavenly Tribulation.
Moreover, with each tribulation passed, his cultivation level would increase steadily.
He had only a 60% chance of passing the first Heavenly Tribulation, but he had a 99% chance for the second. With the remaining thirty-five Heavenly Tribulations, he could pass them all in about three months if he found a blessed land.
Ye Anping stretched his shoulders and prepared to check on Feng Yu Die.
It had been five days since she fell into a deep sleep, but she was still unconscious.
He had previously asked Xiao Tian to examine Feng Yu Die’s head. Xiao Tian said that she was only suffering from inner demons and was extremely tired both physically and mentally from fighting Gu Mingxin, and there were no major problems.
However, just as he summoned his flying sword and was about to step on it.
A white light came from the north, swept across the twelve peaks of Taibai Sect, and landed in front of the Tian Ge on the main peak.
Although the light arc was obvious, it did not emit much spiritual power, nor did it attract the attention of the disciples and elders in the sect.
Zu Yuan should have flown ostentatiously across the twelve peaks of Taibai Sect, using his triumph to comfort the confidence of the injured Taibai Sect disciples.
However, the white light was obviously trying
