Ye Yun didn't have much to prepare. After deciding on the plan, he could leave with the Jade Maiden Sect Master.

However, before leaving, he went to a corner and asked Han Yu, who was resting there.

"Little girl, it's probably impossible for me to elope with you."

"Will you leave with me now, or go elsewhere on your own?"

This time, the other party saved him a lot of trouble. Now that things are over, he naturally needs to make some arrangements.

We can't just leave it here; that would be inhumane.

In response to Ye Yun's question, Han Yu pursed her lips and immediately replied.

"I want to leave with my senior."

After saying that, she seemed to think of something and gritted her teeth.

"If it were possible, could I... serve as your maid? Or even a concubine?"

To be fair, Han Yu is quite perceptive and intelligent.

Knowing that Ye Yun's strength and identity were likely extraordinary.

And now, it is very likely that this is the last time I will have any contact with the other party, so I took this opportunity to mention it.

"Well..."

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then spoke to him.

"No rush, wait a while, I will give you the opportunity to choose."

This answer was neither an agreement nor a rejection, which Han Yu found a bit strange.

However, she quickly nodded in agreement.

"Then this junior will wait."

Seeing her timid appearance, Ye Yun shook his head helplessly.

"To be honest, I still prefer your previous confident and assertive self. Why don't you go back to that?"

This time, he wasn't being sarcastic; he was speaking from the heart.

Despite this, Han Yu shook his head repeatedly.

"No, this junior wouldn't dare!"

Just kidding, let her be a Qi Condensation cultivator.

She wouldn't dare to show confidence and dominance in front of a powerhouse above the Foundation Establishment Realm, even if she had the guts.

Seeing this, Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh softly, but he didn't press the other party any further.

He waved his hand dismissively and said calmly.

"Alright, then come with me."

"Yes, senior!"

Han Yu nodded quickly.

Just then, Jian Qing'er, who was standing next to her, asked.

"Seniors, are you heading to the Azure Dragon Imperial Capital?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun replied calmly.

"Let's say you are. Are you going with us?"

"Uh-huh!"

Compared to Han Yu, Jian Qing'er was significantly more confident.

She smiled sweetly and explained.

"It's safer to use the intercontinental teleportation array from the capital to return to the Northern Continent!"

Even Xiao Qingrou spoke up about what happened to her.

"Senior Nangong, then I'd like to trouble you to give her a ride as well."

She glanced at Jian Qing'er and took a deep breath.

"To prevent this little girl from encountering any danger or having any accidents in the Southern Continent."

Since even she had spoken up, Ye Yun naturally had no reason to refuse, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then come back with me."

Seeing that he agreed, Jian Qing'er smiled playfully.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Now it seems she's much more cautious and doesn't dare to take any risks easily anymore.

The saying goes, "People can't teach people, but they can learn from experience." This is roughly the idea behind it.

After that, Xiao Qingrou looked at Ye Yun and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, are you setting off now or...?"

However, Ye Yun did not want to reveal his escape techniques in front of her.

So he gave a fake smile and said.

"Well, no rush, let's wait for someone to come and pick us up."

"Is someone coming to pick you up?"

Xiao Qingrou was taken aback, and then she saw Ye Yun activate a talisman in his hand.

Shortly after they flew out, a streak of azure light appeared and flew towards them from a distance.

Once he landed, he went directly to Ye Yun and bowed to him.

"Master, have you resolved things here?"

Judging from the surrounding ruins, it was clear that a battle had taken place.

Considering her master's strength, she was actually a little worried.

I guess so.

Ye Yun nodded and smiled at him.

"Let's go, take me and these three with us."

He glanced at Jian Qing'er and Han Yu behind him, as well as the sect leader of the Jade Maiden Sect.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Qingyan glanced at it, but didn't ask any further questions, and simply nodded.

However, Xiao Qingrou recognized her and asked in surprise.

"You are... Xu Qingyan from the Xu family?"

Xu Qingyan was previously the head of the Xu family, a powerful figure in the Transcendent Realm, and a person of considerable influence in the Azure Dragon Empire.

Moreover, after being captured, he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison of the Azure Dragon Imperial Capital.

Upon seeing her, Xu Qingyan's expression changed slightly, seemingly surprised that the other person was also there.

She immediately bowed in greeting.

"Indeed, greetings, Senior Xiao."

She had heard of the person in front of her, a favorite of the princess and a top expert.

We just didn't have many opportunities before, we only met once.

At this moment, Xiao Qingrou looked her over, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"You actually broke through?"

Without even looking closely, the aura emanating from the other party was completely different after breaking through from the Transcendent to the Foundation Establishment stage.

But wasn't the other party given to Ye Yun by the Crown Prince as a furnace cauldron before?

Not only did his cultivation level not decline, but he actually broke through that crucial bottleneck!

Xu Qingyan nodded slightly in response, speaking with extreme humility.

"This was a while ago, when I had a bit of a stroke of luck."

This is also to avoid those with ulterior motives seeing her strength and suspecting that Ye Yun is cultivating anti-empire cultivators.

Anyway, she was at the peak of the extraordinary realm before, so it's not impossible that she broke through by luck.

Xiao Qingrou seemed to agree with this reason.

"I see, then congratulations."

She gave a faint smile, though it was unclear whether it was a genuine congratulation.

However, none of that matters anymore.

After Xu Qingyan arrived, Ye Yun smiled at Xiao Qingrou.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, if there's nothing else, I'll take them with me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingrou nodded and offered a reminder.

"Go ahead, be careful on the road."

However, that's just a casual remark. In her opinion, with the strength of this senior Nangong, there's definitely no way there could be any problems.

If Ye Yun knew what she was thinking, he would probably criticize her, saying that she overestimated her.

And so, in no time at all, Xu Qingyan brought out her magic weapon.

Jian Qing'er and Han Yu, the two women, went up one after another.

Ye Yun, on the other hand, took the Jade Maiden Sect Master and threw her onto the magic weapon, thus completing the preparations.

"Alright, let's go."

At this point, Ye Yun called out to Xu Qingyan in front of him.

"Yes, Master!"

Xu Qingyan nodded respectfully and immediately steered the flying magical artifact beneath her feet toward the capital.

Below, Xiao Qingrou gazed at their departing figures, looking thoughtful.

"This fellow Daoist Nangong is truly peculiar..."

The thought of the request that man had made to her earlier made her blush slightly.

But soon, she shook her head and sighed softly.

"Sigh, I really don't understand... what's so good about matters between men and women?"

In her view, sexual relations between men and women are nothing more than the act of reproduction that humans, as animals, engage in.

To find pleasure in such a thing would truly damage the dignity of a cultivator...

……

Meanwhile, on their way back to the Azure Dragon Imperial Capital.

While controlling the magical artifact, Xu Qingyan asked Ye Yun in surprise.

"Master, you're actually traveling with Xiao Qingrou this time?"

Ye Yun nodded and said calmly.

"That was also the princess's wish at the time, so I agreed."

"I see……"

Xu Qingyan seemed to be thinking about something, then, as if remembering something, she whispered a reminder.

"However... there are many rumors about Xiao Qingrou, and her background and actions are very strange."

"It would be best if Master were to be careful if he came into contact with her."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun spoke with great interest.

"Really? All I know is that she seems to be the younger sister of that Imperial Preceptor Xiao."

Xu Qingyan shook her head and pursed her lips.

"But she appears far less often than the Imperial Preceptor Xiao, and every time she makes a move, it is accompanied by killing and fighting."

"Many of the Empire's enemies that were troublesome for Her Highness were killed by her own hands."

"In some ways, she is even more terrifying than the Imperial Preceptor Xiao."

According to Xu Qingyan, Xiao Qingrou is like a sharp dagger from Azure, so we should indeed be careful.

Ye Yun nodded slightly and said calmly.

"Understood, I will be careful."

Seeing this, Xu Qingyan felt relieved and glanced at the Jade Maiden Sect Master who was being guarded by Jian Qing'er and Han Yu behind her.

"By the way, Master, what's going on with her? Could it really be related to the Ascension Sect?"

As she spent more time with Ye Yun, she gradually gained some understanding of the Ascension Sect.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any forces still helping the Ascension Sect now.

Since he had nothing else to do, Ye Yun gave her a brief account of what he had seen at the Jade Maiden Sect.

"So that's how it is..."

After listening, Xu Qingyan's expression darkened, and she gave the Jade Maiden Sect Master a cold look.

"This guy is truly vicious, no, heinous!"

For her, what she hated most were these unscrupulous practitioners who did whatever they wanted.

I wish I could rush up there right now and tear him to pieces!

The two women beside the Jade Maiden Sect Leader were also glaring at her fiercely.

Jian Qing'er snorted coldly and echoed.

"Indeed, what this guy did is utterly outrageous!"

Han Yu's expression was somewhat complicated, and he couldn't help but ask her a question as he looked at her.

"Sect Master, I don't understand. Your cultivation is already so powerful, and our sect is the overlord within a thousand miles."

"Why do you still associate with those evil practitioners and help them do such wicked things?"

"When we first joined the sect, you personally taught us that our duty was to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path..."

She wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

The sect leader she once regarded as her faith was actually doing this kind of thing in private...

Faced with their hostility and questions, the Jade Maiden Sect Master simply turned her face away silently, not even glancing at them.

"Alright, she won't be able to answer you no matter how many times you ask."

Ye Yun waved his hand, then stepped forward and removed the seal from the man's mouth.

"Tell me, what is your relationship with the Ascension Sect?"

"If their headquarters weren't destroyed, why are you still working for them?"

Although I could hand the interrogation over to Azure Blue later, it would be better to ask her myself first, just to be on the safe side.

First-hand information obtained by yourself is always better than second-hand information from others.

However, the Jade Maiden Sect Master still kept her face turned away and only gave a cold reply.

"This sect has no idea what you're talking about. What Ascension Sect?"

"..."

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and said coldly.

"What? Things have come to this, and you still intend to fight to the death?"

"If you want to kill, then just kill."

The Jade Maiden Sect Master gave a light snort and said calmly.

"However, you shouldn't expect to learn anything from this sect."

Seeing this, Ye Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You are, after all, the leader of a sect. I don't want to use any despicable methods that would embarrass you too much."

Unfortunately, the Jade Maiden Sect Master didn't appreciate his good intentions.

"So what if you want to defile our sect? Do as you please."

As the sect leader of the Jade Maiden Sect, she was very familiar with the dirty desires of male cultivators and knew exactly what Ye Yun wanted to do.

Seeing that she refused to reveal anything and even provoked him, a cold glint flashed in Ye Yun's eyes.

He immediately called out to Xu Qingyan.

"Light smoke, stop for a moment."

Xu Qingyan was slightly taken aback, but she did as she was told and stopped the flying magical artifact beneath her.

After that, Ye Yun summoned a flying boat.

Seeing this, Jian Qing'er, who was standing nearby, asked in confusion.

"Senior, what are you doing?"

Why summon a flying boat when you can just ask questions as you please?

Ye Yun narrowed his eyes slightly in response.

"Naturally, we should find a place to properly interrogate this stubborn sect leader."

He then took the Jade Maiden Sect Leader to the flying boat.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Yun gave instructions to Xu Qingyan.

"Qingyan, pilot the flying boat and continue towards the capital."

Seeing this, Xu Qingyan immediately understood what her master was going to do to the Jade Maiden Sect Leader.

She immediately nodded respectfully.

"Yes, Master!"

After that, she took control of the flying boat and steered it towards the Azure Dragon Imperial Capital.

Jian Qing'er and Han Yu, who followed closely behind, both felt somewhat puzzled.

Not long after, they saw Ye Yun drag the Jade Maiden Sect Leader into a room on a flying boat.

After that, the two women instinctively wanted to follow, but Ye Yun stopped them.

"You two, just wait here outside."

Upon hearing this, Jian Qing'er asked in confusion.

"Huh? Why?"

Ye Yun glanced at her and said indifferently.

"It's nothing, it's just that what follows is not suitable for you to see."

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed the door, leaving only the two women at the door with strange expressions.

It was Xu Qingyan who reminded them from behind.

"The master is going to interrogate her; this is not suitable for children, so don't get any ideas."

Jian Qing'er asked curiously, "Interrogation? Does that mean torturing her? Is it because it's too bloody?"

Xu Qingyan didn't elaborate on this, only offering a brief explanation.

"You'll find out about that once things are over with the master."

She had no objection to the methods her master used on those captured female evil cultivators.

Those guys deserved to be torn to pieces for what they did, yet they were allowed to have some pleasure before they died.

If we follow Xu Qingyan's suggestion, we should use a soldering iron instead...

"Okay, then wait a moment."

Jian Qing'er nodded, her eyes still full of curiosity.

Han Yu, who was standing to the side, looked at Xu Qingyan and asked tentatively.

"Senior, you keep referring to him as 'master,' could you perhaps be his maid?"

When this matter was mentioned, Jian Qing'er also cast a curious glance at her.

From the very beginning, she had noticed the seemingly strong woman beside Senior Nangong.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan gently shook her head.

"No... to be precise, I am just a female slave by my master's side."

"Female...female slave?"

Upon hearing this title, both Han Yu and Jian Qing'er were stunned for a moment.

You should know that the aura emanating from this senior is similar to that of the Jade Maiden Sect Master, clearly indicating that he is also a Dao Establishment expert!

Such a top-tier expert actually willingly became Senior Nangong's female slave?

How terrifying must Senior Nangong's true strength be!

"this……"

Han Yu opened her mouth, her feelings becoming somewhat complicated.

She had originally thought that she could be by his side as a maid to do chores for him.

It now appears that even one of their female slaves possesses terrifying strength at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

I am but a mere Qi Condensation cultivator, how could I possibly be worthy of being the other party's maid?

Not to mention concubines...

……

Inside the flying boat's room.

After dragging the Jade Maiden Sect Leader inside, Ye Yun closed the door and set up a soundproof barrier inside the room.

Having finished all this, he glanced at the Jade Maiden Sect Master on the ground.

At this moment, her red clothes were somewhat disheveled, her hands were tied behind her back, and her ankles were also wrapped in rope.

If you rely solely on yourself, you won't even be able to stand up; you'll have absolutely no ability to resist.

"Sect Master, I'm giving you one last chance."

Ye Yun squatted down beside her and looked at her coldly.

"To explain everything, at least I can save face."

In his view, things had come to this point, and the other party had no reason to insist.

If they are taken to Azure later, they will not escape severe torture.

The only explanation is that the Ascension Cult had severely brainwashed him, so much so that he would rather self-destruct than betray the Ascension Cult.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Maiden Sect Master snorted coldly and said indifferently.

"All your efforts have been in vain. I am not afraid of death, so why would I be afraid of those punishments?"

"Okay, okay..."

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, his emotions also stirred.

"I like people like you who are stubborn to the end."

"But I hope you'll still be so tough later and not beg for mercy from me."

The Jade Maiden Sect Leader disagreed.

"So you want to molest me? Go ahead."

After saying that, she even turned her face away, ignoring Ye Yun.

She had already made up her mind that no matter what Ye Yun did to her, she would not utter a single word.

As for being defiled or anything, she didn't care at all, since she had already fallen to such a state.

Let alone Ye Yun alone, what harm would it do if there were more people?

For her, who was about to die, these were her last indulgences before passing away...

"Indecent assault? Hah... There's no such thing as a free lunch."

Ye Yun, his eyes half-closed with hunger, reached out and pried open her mouth, stuffing the pills into her mouth one by one.

After that, they forced her to drink a bottle of unknown liquid.

So rushed was the Jade Maiden Sect Leader that she choked and coughed repeatedly.

"What did you give me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun smiled and said with a slight upturn of his lips.

"Don't worry, it's just some new research I've done."

"There's nothing poisonous inside, and it won't cause you any pain... well, that is, if you cooperate."
