Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 93 Encounter with the Man in Black Robes Again (Part 3)
Gu Shihan had no intention of hiding her identity, as there was no need to do so under the circumstances.

She nodded slightly and readily admitted, "That's right, it was me! Weren't you also tricked into coming here by them?"

"Yes, it's them! Bah! They call themselves sisters? I think they're mortal enemies who tricked us into coming here to die!"

The pink-clad female cultivator was so angry that her face turned red, her eyes widened in fury, and she gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, looking as if she was about to rush forward and fight to the death at any moment.

Her companion quickly pulled her aside and advised, "Don't be impulsive, calm down first!"

At this moment, the pink-clad female cultivator was no longer listening to these words. She forcefully broke free from her companion's hand, lifted her foot, and walked towards the two so-called good sisters, shouting and cursing, "Today I will make you pay the price!"

Just then, a figure swiftly flashed in front of the pink-clad female cultivator, reaching out to block her path.

This person was Gu Shihhan. He said calmly, with a composed expression, "Don't act rashly. Keeping them alive for now will be useful. The people from the Enforcement Hall will be here soon. You can record the details of this ordeal later."

Upon hearing this, the pink-clad female cultivator, though still seething with anger, stopped in her tracks.

After all, Gu Shihan held a high position in the sect, and what she said made sense. He suppressed his anger and nodded in agreement.

Not long after, several clear sword sounds were heard, and then Elder Honghuang arrived in a hurry with a group of disciples from the Enforcement Hall.

"Junior Sister Gu, have you discovered anything?" Elder Honghuang asked.

Gu Shihan pointed at the black-robed man on the ground and said, "This person hunted down cultivators of my sect. I didn't check the cave. Let's go together!"

Honghuang nodded, and after everyone entered the stone cave, a small altar immediately came into view.

This altar looks very ancient and mysterious, and it is covered with all kinds of strange runes and patterns.

Upon seeing this, Elder Honghuang frowned, and his brow twitched.

Knowing that this was no small matter, he immediately took out a communication talisman from his pocket, whispered the incantation to contact Venerable Danhua and Venerable Miaoyin, and briefly explained the current situation.

In less than ten breaths, two streaks of light descended from the sky. The man was dressed in a blue robe and possessed a refined and scholarly air; the woman wore a white gauze dress and had an exquisitely beautiful face. They were none other than Venerable Danhua and Venerable Miaoyin.

After looking around, Venerable Miaoyin walked straight to the altar, circled it slowly twice, and then turned to the crowd, asking, "Besides this altar, have you discovered anything else?"

A disciple from the Enforcement Hall strode forward, respectfully clasped his hands in a salute to the elder before him, and reported, "Elder, we just discovered a black egg beneath the altar. For some reason, this egg exudes an indescribable malevolent aura."

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked solemn and then carefully examined the cave.

After a moment, Venerable Danhua looked around and said in a deep voice, "Take those people outside the cave back to the sect for questioning first. We can handle this place. Qingluo will stay and assist us."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone followed his orders and orderly withdrew from the cave. Elder Honghuang did not hesitate and led the rest of the group away quickly.

After everyone left, Venerable Danhua and Venerable Miaoyin exchanged a glance and nodded slightly to each other.

Immediately afterwards, two soft sounds were heard, and two dazzling barriers instantly rose up, enveloping the entire cave. At this moment, Venerable Danhua looked solemnly at Qingluo and said in a serious tone, "Qingluo, you will need to use the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire to completely burn that black egg and the entire altar. Miaoyin and I will do our best to help you, but remember not to let even the slightest bit of evil aura leak out."

"Alright!" Seeing that the two seniors at the Nascent Soul stage were so serious and cautious, Gu Shihan couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, knowing that this matter was probably no small thing.

She nodded in agreement without hesitation, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

Gu Shihan took a deep breath and focused intently on mobilizing the spiritual energy within her body.

In an instant, raging red lotus karmic fire erupted from her palm and spread rapidly throughout her body, forming a dazzling flame shield.

The moment the Red Lotus Karmic Fire erupted, Venerable Danhua and Venerable Miaoyin also covered themselves in flames, and the entire cave was completely enveloped in flames, with no blind spots.

The crimson lotus fire burned fiercely, like a blazing sea of ​​fire, instantly engulfing the entire ancient and mysterious altar.

The raging flames mercilessly enveloped the giant black egg, as if trying to devour it completely.

The giant egg trembled slightly under the scorching heat of the Crimson Lotus Flame. Then, an incomparably powerful pressure spread out from the inside of the giant egg like a tide.

Gu Shihan, who was standing not far away, was the first to be affected. She felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her chest, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Venerable Danhua and Venerable Miaoyin stepped forward.

The two Venerable Ones swiftly formed hand seals, and beams of light shot out from their hands, transforming into a soft light barrier that blocked most of the oppressive force.

Even so, Gu Shihan still felt immense pressure, and large beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead.

But he gritted his teeth and showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he intensified his control over the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

Just then, a slightly aged yet majestic male voice suddenly rang out: "Human, stop immediately! I am a renowned dragon from ancient times. I have been sleeping here for many years due to injury, and I am about to awaken. I only want to consume some blood to replenish my strength. This is not excessive!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan snorted coldly, unmoved, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in her hand became even more intense.

Seeing that threats were ineffective, the voice urgently cried out again: "Humans, stop now! If you are willing to let me go, I am willing to tell you a shocking secret—those who ascend in this world cannot enter the Heavenly Realm."

If I can recover, I can break this shackle and allow you to ascend normally. If you destroy me today, then this world will forever lose the possibility of ascension!

These words struck Danhua Venerable and Miaoyin Venerable like a thunderclap, causing them to tremble.

Taking advantage of this gap, the oppressive force suddenly intensified, directly piercing through the light barrier and slamming into Gu Shihan.

Gu Shihan groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood, and her control over the Red Lotus Karmic Fire weakened slightly.

The giant black egg began to shake violently again, attempting to break free from the encirclement of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire and charge towards Gu Shihan...
