Chapter 104 First Time
Then, he marveled at how quickly Que Yi reacted, actually retreating back to the Dragon Palace Hall, pulling open her outer robe, and several bolts of thunderbolts struck her body.

Que Yixiao said, "Esteemed True Lords, will you let me go, or watch me join your families in achieving the Golden Core stage and go to the Yellow Springs together?"

Before she finished speaking, a burst of spiritual light appeared around her and a group of Core Formation cultivators, forming a spiritual net: "Don't move, this is an ancient, top-tier Immortal-Trapping Talisman."

Here we go again!

Moreover, Que Yi was very clever, plunging into the human cultivators' camp without imprisoning a single demon. "Dragon King, this junior has no intention of disrespect, I only wish to ask for a way to live."

The Dragon King seemed to be absent, and the Nascent Soul cultivators were currently blocked outside by the gate's restrictions, so they really couldn't do anything to her.

Lian Sheng Zhenjun was furious. Outside was Niao Niao, who was being held hostage, and inside was the most outstanding Core Formation disciple in the pavilion, who was trapped.

But he looked left and right, and the Dragon King did not appear.

When the Core Formation cultivators tried to move, they found that there seemed to be snakes crawling under their feet, which instantly wrapped around their lower limbs, and their spiritual power was immediately imprisoned.

Lian Qiao was the first to rebuke, "Who are you, you petty scoundrel?"

"Dragon King, someone is trying to bomb your Dragon Palace!" Shen Suiren immediately shouted, drowning out Lian Qiao's voice.

Unexpectedly, the ghostly moon cat spirit shouted, "Shut up!"

The moment it opened its mouth, the talisman binding the immortal sparrow hissed and the spiritual net snapped.

The Dragon King made a move, casually unleashing a bolt of lightning to break the binding of the Immortal-Binding Talisman. Once freed, the Core Formation cultivators unleashed a variety of spells.

"Damn old dragon!" Que Yi gritted her teeth in hatred. Inside the main hall, she dared not unleash the Divine Transformation Sword Qi Talisman. The Dinosaur King, truly enraged, slapped her to death.

Therefore, she deliberately hid among the sixth and seventh tier demons at this moment.

Moreover, several ghost puppets were thrown out with a whoosh, exploding beside the Core Formation cultivators.

The hall was immediately filled with ghostly wails, affecting the minds of the Core Formation cultivators and demons. Those with weak willpower even channeled their spiritual energy into their own people.

Fortunately, the music practitioners of the Music Pavilion were there to calm their minds with the soothing melody played by True Lord Lotus Sound.

They quickly took out musical instruments and played melodies to help the cultivators calm their minds, so as to prevent them from killing each other.

However, many sixth-tier demons were not as quick to react as seventh-tier demons and did not run upstairs to seek the Dragon King's protection in time. The Tranquil Heart Melody had little effect on them, and the fighting continued unabated.

Juexing and the others who were collecting spiritual herbs outside the palace gates during their foundation-building phases also showed signs of losing control of their souls.

"Thunder Shield, freeze them." Zhu Kuang Zhenjun grabbed a handful of immobilization talismans and threw them into the defensive array.

She and the Nascent Soul cultivators blocked the palace gate, to see where the sparrow could run once it broke through the gate.

"They're using that ghost baby trick again." When Shen Suiren activated the Houtu Talisman that his grandmaster had just given him, he noticed the Youyue Cat Soul peeking at him.

Then he transmitted his voice to Zhu Kuang Zhenjun, "Grandmaster, I am preparing to activate your Five Directions Divine Fire Exorcising Talisman."

Could you please... the demon soul...?

After she finished discussing with her grandmaster, she transmitted her thoughts to the Little Fox King. Just as the Little Fox King was about to act, the Dragon King in the Dragon Palace finally spoke: "The Way of Ghosts and Demons."

Snap, snap, boom boom boom

Several bolts of lightning dispersed the ghostly wails, and Que Yi, who was determined to break through the door and escape with a lightning-shaped magic weapon, was also completely covered by the Dragon King's silver-purple lightning net.

Lian Qiao frowned. How could this idiot let Xi Yu see through her disguise?

"Dragon King, you must be looking for the Dragon Clan. I know of a portal to a realm in the Taiyuan Realm."

It wasn't an irreparable ruin, but a completely new gate that the Taiyuan Realm had nurtured over the years. Unable to escape, Que Yi desperately sent a telepathic message to the Dragon King who had appeared.

The Dragon King had his own private teleportation array and didn't care about her news, so he decisively launched a divine sense attack.

"Ah!" Que Yi's soul, which had just been repaired two days ago, was instantly struck squarely, leaving her without any power to retaliate.

Before she fainted, she was actually thinking, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness the Dragon King didn't intend to kill me, otherwise the lightning net would have triggered the thunderbolts all over my body, which could have blasted my soul into dust."

Shen Suiren saw her being kicked out of the Dragon Palace along with the lightning net. Xi Yu Zhenjun tried to approach and bind her, but the lightning net did not move.

Looking at Lianqiao again, I wondered what she was thinking with her head down.

So he sent a telepathic message to the Dragon King: "Dragon King, Lian Qiao is the only Core Formation female cultivator in the main hall dressed in a black robe. Does she have two souls?"

“One, without dual souls, and without being possessed.” The Dragon King believed the Listening Mirror on the palace gate.

Shen Suiren was puzzled. What was going on? The voice that was talking to Que Yi at that time was indeed Lian Qiao.

At this moment, True Monarch Lian Sheng quickly transmitted his voice to the other two Nascent Souls, who quietly moved towards the demon soul.

Unexpectedly, the demon spirit became alert and grabbed Niao Niao, moving her to within three feet of Shen Sui Ren: "Move again, and I'll kill them both."

"You try it." Shen Suiren looked up at it, only to be blocked by her flying master.

In fact, she was no longer in her original position, and the "she" that Youyue Cat saw was an illusion created by the Little Fox King using an evil-repelling talisman.

Seeing that Niao Niao was unconscious, she couldn't help but reveal a fierce glint in her eyes, and her voice rang out all around: "Your master is already bound. If you don't want your soul to be scattered, you'd better surrender."

After saying this, he patted the little fox king who was hiding on his shoulder, signaling her to control the fake New Year's True Exorcism Talisman and pounce on the demon soul at any time so that she could cooperate with her master to save people.

Unexpectedly, the Ghost Moon Cat Soul said, "I surrender!"

But you must ask the Dragon King for help to sever my contract with Que Yi.

This operation almost caused the fake New Year's True Spirit Talisman to strain its back.

This left the surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering whether to kill or capture them.
Zhu Kuang, however, sensed that the voice did not come from behind Sui Chu. As she scanned the area with her divine sense, she received a telepathic message from the Little Fox King, realizing that the person behind her was a dummy.

But Youyue Cat Soul was unaware that it knew it had no chance of winning; killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator would mean losing itself, which would be too much of a loss.

It hesitated for a moment, then increased the reward to the fake New Year: "Que Yi used to be Hong Luo, and she and Tai... killed... Ah! Save me!"

This demonic soul must have triggered some kind of divine soul restriction; suddenly its eyes widened as if about to burst, and it tightened its grip on Niao Niao's sharp claws.

Shen Suiren immediately looked at Lian Qiao inside the hall and happened to see her curl up the corner of her mouth.

Lian Sheng Zhenjun acted decisively, his natal flute flying like a sword to slash at the demon soul, which just allowed Zhu Kuang's spiritual palm to pull Niao Niao away.

"Put the talisman inside the formation, and it will self-destruct." Zhu Kuang handed the person to Zhen Sui Chu, who had appeared, and used his spiritual power to push her into the formation.

Inside the formation, the teammates quickly took the pills from Niao Niao, while the Little Fox King controlled the Evil-Repelling Fire Talisman to fly back.

Here, Zhu Kuang and the Nascent Soul cultivators worked together to blast the demon soul out of the small square, and then blasted it as far away as possible.

The moment it fell into the sea, it only had time to shout, "Que Yi and others killed the Floating Moon Sect Master."

bang bang bang

The eighth-tier demon soul was instantly destroyed, and a sea breeze blew away its last resentment.

Shen Suiren sighed deeply, and the demon finally vanished: "Uncle-Master, is Niao Niao's soul injured?"

Will he, like the recluse Shouzhuo, be in a state of constant unconsciousness?

"It's alright. The demon soul is just a soul; without a physical body, its claws aren't that sharp." Fan Liyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, it's still best to see a specialist for a second opinion."

"You should all board the ship at the beginning of the year to avoid further danger." Lei Dun kept a close eye on Kun Queyi's lightning net, ready to attack at any moment.

As he transmitted his voice to his uncle Zhu Kuang, Xi Yu Zhenjun's sword, which was pointing at Que Yi, trembled. "The demon soul said she killed the Floating Moon Sect Master?"

The Nascent Soul cultivators nodded in agreement. The Alliance's Minister of Talismans, Elder Qing Zhenjun, spoke up: "Fellow Daoist, why don't you take advantage of the Dragon King's confinement of her and quickly send a message to your sect to bring back this one named Que Yi?" "Last time it was said that Hong Luo was possessed, but now it seems that's not entirely true. Que Yi, could there be Que Er, Que San, and so on?"

"It's possible. With the Tengluo Society's rapid rise in recent years, who knows how many spies are secretly hiding behind the scenes."

"No matter how many sparrows there are, they are not as important as the teleportation portal right now. If the other side sends dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators through the portal, we will be at a disadvantage."

"Given your situation, I've observed that the Dragon King shows considerable favor to my young friend from the beginning of the year. Could she perhaps inquire further from the sidelines?"

"I was just about to tell everyone..." Zhu Kuang relayed everything Sui Chu had asked, and then added, "The Dragon King has been upstairs for a while, probably checking the teleportation barrier. Let's wait a bit longer."

It would be good to talk to her face to face, after all, the Taiyuan Realm is also her home.

Lord Haoqing nodded, "Fortunately, we gathered quite a few tenth-grade spiritual herbs this time, which may allow us to refine more pills to help everyone break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Xi Yu Zhenjun was not in the mood to participate in the discussion with them. She tried to calm herself down and grabbed the communication jade to contact the sect leader.

After everyone dispersed from their discussion, the Nascent Soul demon cultivator secretly whispered to himself, "Who could it be from thousands of years ago?"

"They must have a grudge against the Taiyi Sect, Changkun, what do you think?"

"It's none of my business. You should think about how to refine more pills and advance to the Nascent Soul stage." After saying that, True Monarch Changkun turned and walked away, bringing a defensive array to take his disciple Lu Fang away.

He then transmitted his voice to Shen Suiren: "Does your sect still have the Longevity Pills?"

"I was still here before I went on my trip."

"Senior, Fellow Daoist Lu has obtained the Longevity Fruit, which prolongs life. You see, I also have a glass ball..." Shen Suiren took out the positioning glass ball.

Before she could finish speaking, Changkun Zhenjun took Lu Fangfei back to the Demonic Sect's ship, saying, "What I've given away, there's no reason to take back."

"..." Shen Suiren's teeth ached from listening to this. As she waved goodbye to her teammates who were being picked up, her communication jade kept ringing.

Only when all her fellow disciples were left did she take out a reply. It was from Luo Ning, Senior Sister Gongsun, Shen Baiyu, and others who had boarded the ship earlier, asking if she was injured.

"At the beginning of the year, ask the Dragon King where to put these spiritual herbs."

"Hello, go back to the ship with Senior Brother Lei to rest." Fan Liyue asked after she finished replying to the letter.

Shen Suiren glanced at the newly lined-up queue in the main hall and said, "The Dragon King has gone upstairs again."

"Yes, she flew upstairs as soon as the demon's soul was destroyed."

"My spiritual sense can't penetrate to the second or third floor, so I can't transmit my voice to her."

"Then let's get on the boat first and talk about it later." After Yao Niaoniao was taken hostage, Lei Dun dared not let her stay at the door any longer, and was also worried that if she kept observing Lian Qiao, it would arouse the other party's vigilance.

Shen Suiren looked at her grandmaster who was surrounding Que Yi and knew that she would not let her stay, so she boarded her grandmaster's flying sword with everyone else.

At this moment, Huang Banxia transmitted her voice and said, "At the beginning of the year, I saw a female disciple of Lü Lü Pavilion trip Niao Niao, which is why she was caught."

However, I think she only wanted to embarrass Niao Niao, but she didn't expect the unexpected incident.

"Is it Tang Qing?" Shen Suiren didn't know what this person was thinking, as she kept giving Niao Niao a cold shoulder when they were in a team.

"It's her." Huang Banxia didn't understand what that person was thinking either. No matter how there were conflicts between fellow disciples, they couldn't act recklessly when doing missions.

Shen Suiren said, "Niao Niao will definitely know, she will handle it well."

"besides."

"Is someone else causing trouble?"

"No, no, Shen Tinglu asked me about you before you became an apprentice. She asked if you were doing well in the sect."

I told you that you're busy cultivating with your eyes closed and studying with your eyes open at the sect.

She was a good student in the eyes of her teachers and a good friend in the eyes of her peers. Huang Banxia laughed as she spoke; she had just heard others talking about the beginning of the year and was simply repeating what they said.

"Really? I see everyone is working just as hard." Shen Suiren didn't think so, and she also took the opportunity to slack off a little.

Huang Banxia shook her head: "Yes, although we work hard, we go to the market every month to relax and listen to music."

When it's their turn to be on duty, they'll also look for the disciples in charge and pick out something easier.

But you rarely go down the mountain. You either cultivate, draw talismans and inscribe arrays, or read books in the library.

Moreover, the Inner Affairs Hall accepts any task they give out, from bathing spirit beasts to slaughtering chickens and sheep for the dining hall—they've never turned down even the dirtiest and most tiring jobs.

As a result, after visiting the Wisteria Pavilion, they didn't know as much as Sui Chu did.

"At the beginning of the year, I didn't know you were suffering so much. No wonder you were able to build your foundation so quickly."

"I can't let you get any more tired." The little fox king jumped back from her shoulder onto the spirit beast bracelet.

Shen Suiren: ...Actually, you're just tired of standing, aren't you?
She flew to the ship in the blink of an eye. Since it wasn't a sect ship, she shared a room with several fellow disciples.

After exchanging what they had collected, everyone started talking about Little Dragon King Ao Jian.

"At the beginning of the year, when we go to see the Little Dragon King, you must do your best to be a good host."

Will the Little Dragon King let me look at him?

"I really want to touch his dragon horns."

"He's so cute, all fair and chubby, and he's riding a red carp. He looks just like a doll from a New Year's painting."

She envied Cheng Zhishun for being able to hold him.

"At that time, I suddenly felt that Cheng Zhishun was very charismatic, and I would vote for him on the list of handsome men."

As Shen Suiren listened and watched, the discussion gradually veered towards which family's disciple was the most handsome, whether he could be included in the list of most handsome men, and whether he could kill his way into the top 100 or top 10 of the most talented individuals.

"They seem so infatuated, are they even cultivators?" The Little Fox King remarked that he was bothered by the noise.

Si Shi laughed at her: "You are too ignorant. Cultivators are the most lustful. I heard that the Youth Preservation Pill and Beauty Water are sold out every year."

"Is that right, Suichu?" It discovered that Suichu, who had just been watching people with great interest, was now asleep leaning against the headboard.

In fact, Shen Suiren had not fallen asleep; instead, he was listening to the Dragon King sigh.

"Alas, I can no longer sense them. None of the sixty-four dragon bracelets I commissioned have survived."

Those are all rare and precious natural treasures. "Even the Dragon King felt a pang of regret at having to use such top-grade materials."

Shen Suiren hadn't seen the dragon bracelet in person, so he couldn't truly understand. "It's useless even against dragons?"

"I don't know. Those idiots, I don't know what they ate randomly. Several of them have weak cultivation. It's uncertain whether they can survive in the Xuanhuang Realm until now."

"Look at those newly arrived eighth and ninth-rank soldiers on that ship outside. They're so stupid and scared, they don't dare to pay their respects to me." The Dragon King was very resentful, but he also felt that being angry would lower his status.

Shen Suiren made no comment, but cautiously probed, "Could it be that some cultivators from the Xuanhuang Realm might encounter them, obtain the Dragon Bracelet, locate the Dragon Palace in reverse, and then find the teleportation node to teleport here?"
"Dragon King, our Taiyuan Realm currently has no Nascent Soul cultivators or tenth-level cultivators. If we are pursued by high-level cultivators from the outside world, the consequences could be dire."

Seeing that she didn't seem to care much, he added, "What if, in the worst-case scenario, a cultivator from the Xuanhuang Realm sees Ao Jian and harbors ill intentions towards it?"

In a flash, the Dragon King's divine sense struck: "They dare?"

Shen Suiren thought to himself, "It's good that you're in a hurry: In the cultivation world, whoever has the strongest fist calls the shots."

Two fists can't beat four hands; it's better for everyone to cooperate than for you to fight alone.

If any cultivators of the Nascent Soul level or above are teleported here, we will first teach them a lesson in humanity at the Dragon Palace.
