A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

Although there are many techniques of disguise or illusions that can change one's appearance on the mainland.

However, those methods would be noticeable to high-level cultivators.

But the Ye Yun before us was different; he had truly transformed.

Therefore, Zhixing had a shocked expression on her face.

Ye Yun looked helpless and had no choice but to explain.

"Senior, please don't misunderstand. I only achieved this effect by using an ancient magical artifact..."

Upon hearing this, Zhixing suddenly realized and nodded.

"The help of a magical artifact? I see..."

That makes much more sense.

During the golden age of antiquity, that era indeed gave birth to many magical artifacts with extremely powerful functions and effects.

Then, Zhixing came to her senses and, thinking of what Empress Yunxiao had just said, couldn't help but ask.

"So... what can I do for you, Young Master Ye?"

Ye Yun coughed lightly and answered without hesitation.

"It's very simple, I just want my senior to hit me."

"Um???"

Upon hearing Ye Yun's outrageous request, Zhi Xing's expression turned strange.

She looked at Ye Yun and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Young Master Ye, you haven't picked up some strange hobby, have you?"

I had indeed heard of Zhixing when I was traveling.

Some people really enjoy being beaten up; the more they are beaten, the more they feel good.

Especially if the person hitting him is a beautiful fairy, then he can feel even more ecstatic.

When she heard about it, she thought that such a person was too perverted and that she would never meet him.

I never expected to hear such a demand from Ye Yun today...

"Senior Orihime, what are you thinking about?"

Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he quickly explained.

"My being beaten is part of the subsequent operation."

After all, just by looking at the changing expressions on Zhixing's face, one could tell that the other party must have misunderstood.

If I don't explain this, all the brilliance I've built up over the rest of my life will be ruined...

However, Zhixing found his explanation quite strange.

"Part of the operation? What does that mean?"

Left with no other option, Ye Yun could only reveal a small part of the subsequent operations without compromising the secret.

After listening, Zhixing suddenly understood.

"So, you're using Ling Ruoyu's identity to infiltrate the Ascension Sect's ranks?"

Ye Yun nodded and replied affirmatively.

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Upon hearing this, Zhixing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

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

Ye Yun glanced at her and said irritably.

"What else? What did you think it was, senior?"

"Ahem, I..."

Zhixing froze for a moment, her expression somewhat awkward.

Then, she shook her head, still feigning composure.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised."

Seeing her amused expression, Ye Yun would have teased her a lot if it were any other time.

But now, I don't have the energy for that.

"In short, I hope that you will treat me as a normal fighter."

Ye Yun smiled faintly at him, thought for a moment, and said.

"Probably... enough to bring him close to being seriously injured."

If it's too light, he feels it won't be effective in disguising himself.

If the situation becomes more serious, it could affect subsequent actions.

Even so, Zhixing couldn't help but frown.

"This...this is me..."

Seeing this, Ye Yun asked in confusion.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you need, senior?"

In his view, cultivators who have reached the other's level are...

Controlling the force of your strike is an easy thing.

Zhixing looked at him and took a deep breath.

"The main problem is that it's really hard for me to make a move against you all of a sudden."

"What if we don't control our strength well and cause too much injury? Wouldn't that be terrible?"

As a righteous cultivator with a pure and kind nature, he has never attacked his own people.

Just thinking about it made her hesitate to do it.

This reason left Ye Yun somewhat helpless.

"It's alright, senior. You were just doing this for the sake of the operation, not to intentionally cause harm. You'll be fine."

"But……"

Zhi Xing frowned and looked up at Empress Yunxiao.

Judging from her expression, she seemed to be seeking his help.

Seeing her troubled expression, Empress Yunxiao comforted her.

"It's alright, just go ahead and do it."

"If it truly exceeds the necessary force and enters a dangerous range, I will intervene in a timely manner."

"In addition, he carries a magical artifact that can withstand fatal attacks, so you don't need to worry about using too much force."

Compared to Zhixing, who is more sentimental, Empress Yunxiao is more rational.

With encouragement from her and Ye Yun, Zhixing finally made up her mind and took a deep breath.

"Okay, I'll try my best..."

Before long, she and Ye Yun set up their battle in an open space.

Ye Yun looked at the star weaving in front of him, waved and smiled.

"Senior, come on, don't be afraid!"

It's hard to believe, but one day I found myself encouraging others to beat him up.

On the opposite side, Zhixing formed hand seals and began to gather power.

Golden light swirled around him, and a sharp aura swept out from him.

At this point, Zhixing gazed at Ye Yun and pursed her lips slightly.

"Young Master Ye, please bear with it for a moment."

"Okay, just go for it!"

Ye Yun took a deep breath and nodded as he looked at the star weaving in front of him.

At the same time, Zhixing pointed forward with both hands, and beams of golden light shot out!

This was the first time Ye Yun had faced an attack head-on from a powerful expert at the Imperial Dao Realm, and it was indeed quite oppressive.

Most importantly, he couldn't even make a move to defend himself...

……

A moment later, Ye Yun had several bloody holes in his body.

Two of them were very close to his vitals.

It could be said that if he hadn't controlled his strength slightly, this attack would have instantly killed Ye Yun.

Looking at Ye Yun again, he was now kneeling weakly on one knee, resembling Ling Ruoyu...

"Young Master Ye! Are you alright?!"

Seeing this, Zhixing rushed out and immediately went to check on her.

Ye Yun waved his hand in response, his face somewhat pale.

"I, I'm fine... I'm alright."

As he spoke, he looked up at Ye Yun and smiled somewhat sadly.

"Senior, your methods are truly impressive."

Zhixing shook her head and quickly said.

"Stop talking and start healing quickly."

She was quite clear about the power of the mystical techniques she had learned.

For a cultivator at the Dao Construction Realm like Ye Yun to withstand such an attack with his physical body would essentially mean certain death.

Even though she managed to avoid killing him, his injuries were still quite serious.

"..."

Ye Yun waved his hand and smiled faintly.

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing."

As he spoke, he took out a sixth-grade pill and swallowed it.

As for why they didn't choose higher-grade pills, it was naturally because they were worried that the effects would be too strong.

It would be awkward if my injuries healed before I even came into contact with any of the Ascension Cult cultivators.

The sixth-grade pill he had just taken had, to some extent, prevented his injuries from worsening.

On the other hand, it won't recover too quickly, so it's in a just-right range.

"Alright, senior, there's no need to worry too much."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and quickly helped her to her feet.

At this moment, he looked at his battle-worn body and was very satisfied.

"Very good, now that we've gone this far, it looks more like it."

Then, he glanced at Empress Yunxiao and smiled.

"Alright, senior, I'll be setting off now."

Empress Yunxiao, seeing his injuries, still asked him with concern.

"Aren't you... going to rest for a bit?"

"No."

Ye Yun shook his head and explained.

"I'm injured, so I'll be slower. It's better to start earlier."

Seeing that he had already made a decision, Empress Yunxiao didn't say anything.

She nodded and said to him seriously.

"Then I wish Young Master Ye a successful mission and a safe return."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun chuckled softly.

"Yes, it definitely will."

After that, he waved to Zhixing and smiled.

"Senior, I'll take my leave now, please don't worry too much."

Seeing this, Zhixing looked dazed and nodded slightly to her.

"Um... Be careful on your way."

And so, the two watched Ye Yun leave the city lord's mansion.

Even as he set off, blood continued to drip from his body, which made Zhixing feel a little distressed.

Then, unable to contain her curiosity, she asked the Cloud Empress beside her a question.

"Lord City Lord, what exactly is he trying to do? Why is he going to such lengths?"

The previous information regarding the suspected headquarters of the Ascension Sect has not yet been made public.

So much so that even though Zhixing was a close confidante of Empress Yunxiao, she was still unaware of this matter.

At this point in time, Empress Yunxiao naturally couldn't tell her, and simply replied with a faint sentence.

"This matter is top secret and should not be inquired about. What you already knew was already somewhat excessive."

Zhixing paused for a moment, seemingly not expecting that even she couldn't tell him about this.

Immediately, she placed her hands in front of her and said to him seriously.

"Rest assured, Lord City Lord, I will not divulge a single word of what I have heard."

Empress Yunxiao waved her hand and said calmly.

"I trust you quite a bit, so go and attend to your own business."

Upon hearing this, Zhixing nodded quickly.

"Your subordinate obeys."

But just before she left, Empress Yunxiao seemed to think of something and suddenly glanced at her and asked a question.

"By the way, is it really true that nothing happened between you and Ye Yun?"

This sudden question startled Zhixing, and she felt a little flustered.

It was precisely this subtle change in expression that Empress Yunxiao keenly noticed.

Immediately, her eyes sharpened, and she spoke in a calm tone.

"Weaving Star, what could possibly make you lie to me?"

Although his voice was calm, it carried a strong sense of oppression.

Sensing the gaze of the Cloud Empress, she instinctively took a deep breath.

Ultimately, succumbing to the immense pressure, she pursed her lips and said...

"Reporting to the city lord, there was indeed a small accident between him and me."

……

Ye Yun, who had just set off, was unaware that Empress Yunxiao had learned about his affair with Zhixing.

Of course, even if he knew, there wasn't much he could do; at most, he could only admit responsibility and accept punishment.

At this moment, Ye Yun was focused on this operation.

However, since dispelling the illusion would affect his injured appearance, Ye Yun has maintained Ling Ruoyu's appearance.

At this moment, Ye Yun, riding Ling Ruoyu's flying magic weapon, headed towards the Wutong Mountain Range.

During this time, Nangong Jiutian joked in his mind.

"Hey kid, you're getting better and better at dressing up as a woman. Why don't you just consider getting a gender reassignment surgery?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun rolled her eyes at her.

"Are you kidding me? I don't want to."

Putting everything else aside, what would happen to Xian'er and the others if I became a female cultivator?

Could it be that I'll end up having lesbian relationships with them?

Or rather, become best friends?

No, absolutely not!

At this moment, Nangong Jiutian said with amusement.

"What's wrong with that? Dual cultivation is a lot of fun!"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow slightly and said quietly.

"Really? You talk like you've cultivated with someone before, when you're clearly just a lifelong bachelor."

"You little brat, you want a beating, don't you?"

Although Nangong Jiutian didn't know what "single dog" meant, he felt that the other person was criticizing him.

Ye Yun coughed lightly and immediately gave in.

However, he still couldn't resist making a point of argument.

"Ahem, this wasn't started by you, senior."

"snort……"

Nangong Jiutian snorted lightly, not bothering to argue with him.

Not long after, Nangong Jiutian yawned and said with a playful expression.

"But seriously, that kid's got some nerve."

"If your identity is discovered, even Jin Liuli and the City Lord of Yunxiao City might not be able to protect you."

After all, there are likely two Emperor-level experts at the headquarters of the Ascension Sect.

While they were clashing with each other, Ye Yun would have to face the elite of the entire Ascension Sect.

Ye Yun shrugged helplessly at this.

"There's really no other way, so why don't you sneak in and confirm for me, senior?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian sneered.

"This is not a task I was assigned, and besides, I am not good at infiltration."

These words immediately piqued Ye Yun's interest.

"Oh? That's strange. Is there really something in this world that you, senior, aren't good at?"

"Isn't that normal? Usually, when I solve problems, I confront them head-on and crush the root of the problem."

At this point, Nangong Jiutian chuckled.

"Therefore, I really can't think of a time when I need to sneak in."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly.

"Alright, alright, I know you're very strong, senior. Is that alright?"

"Tsk tsk, that's just how it is."

Nangong Jiutian said leisurely, "If one's strength is sufficient, would there be any need for infiltration?"

Her behavior of speaking without understanding the situation is unacceptable.

Ye Yun was speechless for a moment, then said helplessly.

"The problem is, isn't it that we lack the strength right now?"

"Do you really think everyone is like your senior, able to easily sweep across the continent?"

Nangong Jiutian smiled slightly and said.

"Not bad, not bad, I like to hear that."

Then she continued to explore the flavors.

"Since I'm in a good mood, I'll try my best to help you this time, so you don't end up dying in there."

Ye Yun hadn't expected that this person would offer to help.

He immediately asked a question with great interest.

"Hey senior, have you changed your ways today? You never lend a hand unless I ask you for help."

Nangong Jiutian gave a light snort and said calmly.

"I'm in a good mood, is there a problem?"

Then, she said with even more disdain.

"Of course, if you don't feel you need it, I won't bother helping you."

"No, no, no! Since you want to help, senior, how could I refuse your kindness?"

Although I don't know why the other party is being so attentive.

But since he had already spoken, he had no reason to refuse.

Immediately, Ye Yun's tone of voice changed.

From their initial confrontational stance, he became more easygoing and gentle, even somewhat respectful.

"Thank you so much, senior. We'll be counting on you this time."

This time, Ye Yun also performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

However, in his view, as long as the mission can be completed and the matter of the Ascension Sect can be investigated smoothly, it will be fine.

It would be worthwhile to say some nice things to this senior Nangong...

"That's more like it."

As expected, Nangong Jiutian was very pleased with Ye Yun's change of attitude.

Her satisfied laughter echoed in my mind.

Seeing this, Ye Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this senior colleague was relatively easy to appease.

However, to be fair, with Nangong Jiutian's full assistance, Ye Yun was even more confident.

……

After traveling for most of the day, Ye Yun finally arrived deep in the Wutong Mountains.

Upon returning to the Wutong Mountains this time, he clearly noticed that the surrounding environment had undergone significant changes.

Many places were razed to the ground and left in ruins due to the battles between high-level cultivators.

Even now, late at night, explosions can still be heard in many places.

It is evident that even now, battles between righteous and evil cultivators still rage within the mountains.

Countless mythical beasts and small animals became innocent casualties in this battle.

After passing through the scenery of the Wutong Mountains, Ye Yun couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, this battle really needs to end as soon as possible."

As he approached his destination, the bright moon was already high in the sky.

But before long, the bright moonlight was obscured by dark clouds.

The night, which had been fairly bright, suddenly became dark and deep, to the point that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Fortunately, with Ye Yun's cultivation level, he could clearly see everything around him even in this darkness.

Following the coordinates provided by his master and the others, Ye Yun quickly located the place that appeared to be the headquarters of the Ascension Sect.

To be honest, it's a very ordinary environment, with no natural barriers or geographical advantages.

It was like a base, situated on a flat area without any cover.

The only shelter might be the dense grove of sycamore trees around it.

Yet this place is so ordinary, it couldn't be more ordinary.

Just as Ye Yun approached, he heard Nangong Jiutian's reminder in his ear.

"Kid, watch your step and don't give yourself away. There are already more than three cultivators at the Imperial Dao Realm who have their eyes on you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun was startled.

No, I haven't even gone inside yet, how could I be targeted so quickly?

This also demonstrates the tight security here...

"It seems this place is either the headquarters of the Ascension Cult or a place of utmost importance to the Ascension Cult."

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Yun's eyes as he continued forward as usual, completely ignoring the evil cultivators who were secretly watching him.

Of course, on the surface, he had already adopted the demeanor of Ling Ruoyu, with a cold and aloof air on his face.

He gazed into the darkness ahead, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Let me see what's so special about this place!"
