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

Ye Yun snapped out of his daze and shook his head.

"Nothing, just some things that came to mind."

Then, he glanced at Xuan Yu beside him and gave him instructions in a serious manner.

"Then I'll go see the Sect Leader now. Xiaoyu, you wait for me."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yu nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, no problem."

After that, Xuan Yu and Ying led Ye Yun to a rather magnificent palace.

Compared to the previous Storm City, everything in the city is much simpler now.

This place, as the true headquarters of the Ascension Sect, truly possesses the grandeur of a celestial abode.

Before entering, Ying glanced at Xuan Yu and said calmly.

"Elder Xuanyu, please wait outside."

Xuan Yu paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Uh... I understand."

She was always quite obedient to his orders.

However, before Ye Yun went in, Xuan Yu still took a deep look at him.

She had a feeling that something was a little off about the timing of the cult leader's summons to Ruoyu.

However, she didn't know exactly what the problem was, and all she could do was follow orders.

Ye Yun calmed himself down and followed the figure in front of him into the palace.

On both sides of the palace, there were many maids standing in neat rows.

Upon seeing them enter, the women all bowed.

During this time, Ye Yun tried to strike up a conversation with Ying beside him.

"By the way, how is the Sect Leader in mood right now?"

Ying paused for a moment, then replied calmly.

"Neither joy nor sorrow, just a relatively peaceful state."

"I see."

Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully.

Just then, Ying tilted her head and glanced at him.

Noticing Ying's unusual behavior, Ye Yun asked a question.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Ying shook her head, returning to normal.

This strange behavior left Ye Yun puzzled.

However, he wasn't worried that his questions would arouse suspicion.

Within the Ascension Sect, Ling Ruoyu was always this kind of person—not particularly rule-abiding, and rather domineering.

Before long, led by Ying, Ye Yun arrived at the palace, in an extremely spacious room.

The room wasn't decorated much and was quite empty.

The only things visible were the array patterns carved around the area and a futon at the center of the array.

With her red hair and petite figure, the Ascension Cult Leader sat cross-legged on the futon.

Blood-red threads, connected to the Ascension Cult Leader through the surrounding array, were drawn to his body.

When she came in, her eyes were still closed, as if she were in a meditative state.

"Your Excellency, Elder Ling has been brought here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ascension Cult Master, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

The crimson threads connecting its body to the formation also dissipated one by one.

Until the Ascension Cult Leader stood up and looked up.

She first looked at her reflection and waved her hand.

"You may leave now."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Ying cupped his hands in response, and then seemed to melt away, falling into the shadows beneath his feet.

Soon, the person disappeared without a trace, as if he had vanished into thin air.

Ye Yun was secretly taken aback by this scene.

"What amazing escape technique."

Of course, he didn't show the slightest surprise on the surface.

Just then, the Ascension Cult Leader turned around, looked at Ye Yun beside him, and said in a calm tone.

"You're back?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun quickly pretended to bow respectfully.

"My Lord, I encountered some unexpected trouble, which is why I'm late."

The Ascension Cult Leader nodded slightly, showing no intention of blaming him, but instead offering a word of comfort.

"It's alright. Given what you went through, just make sure you come back safely."

It is evident that news of Ling Ruoyu's attack had already reached the Ascension Sect long ago.

Ye Yun was surprised. It seemed that the Ascension Sect Master was quite considerate of his subordinates.

After that, the Ascension Cult Leader looked at him and asked.

"Your injuries are quite severe, caused by the Cloud City Star Weaver. It seems you've encountered quite a lot of trouble."

Although Ye Yun had considered beforehand that the other party might discover the origin of his injuries.

Unexpectedly, the Ascension Cult Leader could even tell who did it; he was truly remarkable.

Ye Yun feigned composure and spoke calmly, just as Ling Ruoyu usually did when they interacted.

"That woman was awful; she chased me for a long time and almost killed me."

"Once I break through to the Imperial Realm, I'll definitely get my revenge on her for what I did wrong this time."

Intelligence reports describe Ling Ruoyu as extremely vengeful.

Therefore, Ye Yun responded accordingly.

After listening, the Ascension Cult Leader didn't seem to have any doubts and nodded slightly.

"There will definitely be opportunities later."

Then, she paused for a moment and said.

"Okay, tell me, what happened to you after that?"

As expected, the leader of the Ascension Cult summoned him and asked about his experiences during his disappearance.

Fortunately, Ye Yun had already memorized the script beforehand.

This will simply require memorizing it as is.

Ye Yun cupped his hands in a respectful bow and said.

"Reporting to the Lord, I narrowly escaped the encirclement before that, and then..."

According to his account, he escaped death entirely by sheer luck.

Fortunately, Ye Yun explained the cause and effect, as well as the logic behind it, flawlessly.

Based solely on his experiences, there's absolutely nothing wrong with him.

During this time, the leader of the Ascension Cult also asked a few questions here and there.

Having prepared in advance, Ye Yun answered fluently and without any mistakes or errors.

As for the result, it was just as he had expected.

After listening to his story, the Ascension Cult Leader nodded slightly.

"I see, then it is truly my good fortune to have taught you."

Judging from this, it seems there is no suspicion.

Ye Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Once you get past this hurdle, there shouldn't be any problems afterward.

Therefore, on the surface, he still replied with considerable humility.

"I am only able to escape this time thanks to the teachings of the Master."

If Ling Ruoyu had actually said this, there wouldn't be anything wrong with it.

Many of her techniques were personally taught to her by the leader of the Ascension Cult.

This is why some people believe that she is half a disciple of the Ascension Cult Leader.

Although there was no formal master-disciple relationship, their actions were essentially no different from those of a master and disciple.

"This is your own ability; it's good that you can come back."

The Ascension Cult Leader looked at Ye Yun, and sounded somewhat gratified.

This made Ye Yun more relaxed; it seemed he had gained the leader's trust.

Of course, it's also possible that the other person is acting, just like me...

Just then, the leader of the Ascension Cult spoke calmly.

"Seeing that you still have injuries, come with me to take a bath and heal yourself."

Ye Yun, who had been calm, was instinctively startled upon hearing these words.

"Um...shall we bathe together?"

The Ascension Cult Leader looked at him and asked calmly.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, there's no problem."

Ye Yun immediately shook his head and explained.

"I just didn't expect the Master to be so considerate."

Speaking of which, Ling Ruoyu's intelligence did mention bathing with the cult leader.

For the Ascension Sect Leader, only female cultivators who had made outstanding contributions could have the opportunity to bathe with her.

Over time, this has even become a unique honor.

In response, the Ascension Cult Leader calmly explained.

"You have made many contributions to the church, so I will naturally take care of you."

Listening to her story, Ye Yun felt a mix of emotions.

Although he is rather lecherous, this time, he really didn't want to go.

But judging from the attitude of the Ascension Cult Leader, it doesn't seem like he would allow him to refuse.

If you refuse, it might arouse suspicion from the other party, which would be counterproductive.

Thinking of this, Ye Yun readily agreed.

"Thank you, Master!"

Upon seeing this, the Ascension Cult Leader nodded.

After that, she got up and left, saying to Ye Yun.

"Alright, follow me."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Ye Yun had no choice but to follow closely, though a little uneasy was creeping into his heart.

Is this Ascension Cult Leader genuinely concerned about his injuries, or is he doubting his own identity?

But in any case, he has no other choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.

Furthermore, Ye Yun believes that he has not made any wrong choices so far.

Thinking about this, he felt more at ease and less nervous.

Instead, there is a sense of melancholy.

"I never imagined that one day I would be able to bathe with the leader of the Ascension Cult."

Thinking about it... well, it's not really worth aspiring to.

This gave Ye Yun the feeling that he was about to bathe with a demon.

On their way to take a bath together.

As the Ascension Cult Leader walked, he suddenly spoke.

"Ruoyu, do you think... our Ascension Sect can win this great battle?"

Ye Yun was taken aback, not expecting this person to ask such a question.

"What else can I say?" he replied confidently.

"That goes without saying. With our leader here, the final victor will undoubtedly be our Ascension Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the Ascension Cult Leader glanced at him.

"You're so confident now."

Ye Yun froze for a moment, wondering if he had said something wrong. That shouldn't be the case.

Although he was a little flustered inside, he remained outwardly calm and collected.

"That's for sure. I believe that even if there's no way to win, you must have the belief in victory!"

These words made the Ascension Cult Leader ponder for a moment.

After a while, she nodded slightly.

"That's not wrong."

Ye Yun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, thankfully, we managed to get away with it.

Before long, the Ascension Cult Leader led Ye Yun through the corridor and into a courtyard of the palace.

Within this vast courtyard, many spiritual plants grow.

Under the night sky, it emits a magnificent and beautiful light, like a beautiful garden.

However, the most amazing thing is the huge hot spring with a diameter of tens of meters in the center of the courtyard.

Wisps of heat turned into mist, scattering in the air, and even had a faint fragrance.

Ye Yun glanced around and noticed that the hot spring contained extremely rich profound energy.

This sight made Ye Yun uneasy.

"This place... is somewhat similar to Tianchi."

However, judging from the aura it contains, it should have a different effect than that of Tianchi.

Tianchi places greater emphasis on tempering the body and enhancing talent.

The hot spring in front of us seems to focus more on nourishing the body and healing injuries.

After arriving, the Ascension Cult Leader glanced at him and asked.

"What are you standing there for? Why aren't you taking off your clothes and going inside?"

"Uh...yes."

Ye Yun responded, still wondering if there was a trap in his mind.

However, the leader of the Ascension Cult, after speaking to him, untied the belt around his waist.

Her dress quickly loosened and slipped down, revealing the undergarments she was wearing underneath.

Besides that, there was her exposed, snow-white skin, like that of a newborn baby.

After that, she became completely unsuspecting and took off the only remaining undergarments she was wearing.

"That figure... is surprisingly well-endowed."

Ye Yun looked him over and nodded thoughtfully.

He had initially thought the other party would be Xizhou Pingban, but now it seems he was naive.

And judging from her appearance, she didn't doubt her identity at all; otherwise, she wouldn't have removed her clothes so readily.

Her fiery red hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, somewhat resembling that of the previous Hong Xian'er.

A moment later, all that was left on her was the mask she was wearing.

In the end, the leader of the Ascension Cult reached out and actually removed the mask.

Seeing this, Ye Yun instinctively stared intently, wanting to know the face behind the mask.

As the mask was removed, the appearance of the Ascension Cult Leader was revealed to Ye Yun.

It was a face that was stunningly beautiful, yet as cold as ice.

In short, his eyes looked as if his parents had died, giving him a look of deep sorrow and resentment.

Ye Yun stared at it for a while, trying his best to memorize it.

Before long, the Ascension Cult Leader stepped into the pool and began to soak.

During this process, she glanced at Ye Yun, who was still somewhat dazed, and asked.

"Ruoyu, what are you waiting for?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun snapped out of his daze and quickly nodded.

"My Lord, I'm coming right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly took off his clothes.

However, she still retains Ling Ruoyu's appearance.

His feminine attire, so different from men's clothing, made it difficult for him to undress it skillfully.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to take off his clothes and walk into the hot spring with the Immortal Ascension Cult Leader.

At this moment, the Ascension Cult Leader, who was soaking in the hot spring, looked at him and asked a question.

"How are you feeling? Are you comfortable?"

Ye Yun replied without hesitation.

"Mmm...it feels so good."

These words were spoken entirely from the heart.

Just as he had guessed, the hot spring had healing properties.

Immersed in it, my whole body felt as if it were enveloped in a warm liquid, nourishing my wounded body.

Upon seeing this, the Ascension Cult Leader nodded slightly.

"As long as you feel comfortable, you can soak a little longer."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Ye Yun smiled and responded.

Looking at the Ascension Cult Leader in front of her, one could hardly see any emotional fluctuation on her face.

It's hard not to wonder what the other person has been through before.

For a while after that, the hot spring was very quiet.

The Ascension Cult Leader didn't seem to want to talk to him; it seemed he really just wanted to invite him to take a bath together.

Throughout this process, the Ascension Cult Leader remained almost completely still, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep in the water.

Looking at her current state, Ye Yun felt a surge of emotion.

"Thank goodness it's not the real body here, otherwise I would have been able to sense it."

If it weren't for the fact that she had transformed into a female cultivator, it would be hard not to feel something looking at the Ascension Sect Master before one's eyes.

Unsurprisingly, Ye Yun soaked comfortably in the pool for a long time.

Finally, he felt that his injuries had almost completely healed.

Just then, the Ascension Cult Leader beside him suddenly opened his eyes and asked a question.

"Ruoyu, I have a question for you."

"Um?"

Ye Yun turned his head and asked in confusion.

"My Lord, please speak."

He thought to himself, "Are we finally getting to the point?"

In Ye Yun's view, the other party might be testing him again.

However, Ye Yun had made full preparations to deal with the various inquiries from the Ascension Cult Leader.

But to his surprise, the Ascension Cult Leader asked a strange question.

"What do you think of Ye Yun from that ancient sacred land?"

Ye Yun never expected to suddenly hear her name spoken.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately showed his disgust.

"That guy is absolutely despicable! He dares to repeatedly thwart your plans, Master! He deserves to be arrested and torn to pieces!"

"Hmm... I think so too."

The leader of the Ascension Cult pondered for a moment, then asked.

"However, his transformation technique is indeed quite powerful."

"In addition, he also carries a teleportation scroll, which allows him to summon his backer at any time."

"If it were you, how would you deal with him?"

After she finished speaking, she stared intently at Ye Yun.

That expression seemed to genuinely seek his opinion.

This surprised Ye Yun. Should he explain how to deal with himself?

"This... I'm incompetent, and I really can't think of anything."

Ye Yun naturally couldn't offer any real advice or solutions, but he also couldn't come up with anything too outrageous.

Upon seeing this, the Ascension Cult Leader pondered for a moment and said...

"Well then, I've come up with a plan. Would you like to hear if it's feasible?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun asked in confusion.

"Um...what method?"

He wondered if the other party had come up with some bad idea.

Then, the Ascension Cult Leader slowly began to speak.

"I believe it is possible to implant subtle false memories into the minds of people in certain important positions."

"These subtle false memories have no impact on normal life."

"But if they fall into enemy hands later and are subjected to soul searching, this false memory will be triggered."

"This allows this subtle false memory to overwrite the real memory, giving the other party a small amount of incorrect information."

"Therefore, someone wants to impersonate the other party to infiltrate headquarters."

"At that time, I will be aware of it in advance and will conduct a detailed examination based on certain details."

"What do you think of this method?"

Finally, the Ascension Cult Leader gazed at him and calmly asked.

Ye Yun broke out in a sweat and nodded in response.

"Hmm...this is indeed very useful."

This is more than just practical; it's a special attack specifically designed to target oneself, and it's an extremely deadly kind of attack.

Immediately, he echoed the words of the Ascension Cult Leader.

"My Lord, I think this method can be prepared in batches later."

"At that time, Ye Yun will no longer be able to transform and infiltrate our team."

After saying that, he praised it with a face full of emotion.

"As expected of the Cult Leader, this is an idea that no ordinary person could come up with!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Ascension Cult Leader staring intently at him.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yun had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

But on the surface, he calmly asked.

"My Lord, what's wrong?"

At this moment, the Ascension Cult Leader looked at him and remained silent for a long time.

After a while, she began to speak slowly.

"In fact, the method I mentioned has already been tried once before."

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then frowned and asked.

"What do you mean by a trial period?"

The Ascension Cult Leader narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and her already aloof appearance seemed to freeze everything.

"Ruoyu, it seems you haven't called me 'Master' even once since you came back this time?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Oh no, this is terrible!

Ye Yun's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he instinctively reached out to take out the teleportation scroll.

However, before he could make a move, he saw blood-red threads already wrapped around his limbs.

He couldn't even move his body; it was as if he was firmly fixed in place.

"Damn it, when were these tied up..."

Ye Yun's face turned ugly; he hadn't even noticed the other party making a move from beginning to end.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The other party is an Emperor-level expert. It wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with a Dao Building cultivator silently.

What frustrated him even more was that Nangong Jiutian didn't even bother to give him a heads-up.

It was obvious that his identity had been exposed from the very beginning.

Now, he doesn't even have a chance to resist.

"you……"

Facing Ye Yun's ashen face, the Ascension Sect Master remained calm.

She stood up from the pool, completely disregarding the fact that her body was exposed in front of Ye Yun, and sat down on the rock next to her.

The Ascension Cult Leader raised his head and stared at Ye Yun, who was bound nearby, and said calmly.

"What should I call you? Imposter? Or... Ye Yun?"

Ye Yun felt a chill in his heart. Had the other party really seen through him?

However, clinging to the idea of ​​taking a gamble, he still insisted.

"My Lord, I don't understand what you're saying!"

Upon hearing this, the Ascension Cult Leader looked at him coldly.

"Now that things have come to this, are you still trying to play dumb?"

"You seem unaware that Ling Ruoyu is, in private, my disciple, aren't you?"

As she spoke, she glanced down at her fair body.

"Of course, if all this still only proves that your memory has been affected by soul searching."

"And when you take off your clothes, how many years have you been wearing this style of nun's attire?"

"To think... he's still so unfamiliar with things? That says something."

"Furthermore, it's rather strange that a female cultivator would be so concerned about my body."

"Moreover, you should have bathed with me many times before, and you almost never spied on me."

"But this time, just during my bath, you stared at certain parts of me more than ten times. Don't you think that's going too far?"

After hearing this, Ye Yun was speechless.

Good heavens, what else can I say? This woman is so ruthless that she's even willing to use her own body to fight back.

It can only be said that they still lost to instinctive reactions.

Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly, and he took a deep breath.

"Fine, fine, you win. I admit defeat this time."

Who would have thought that the leader of the Ascension Cult had secretly set up a huge pit for himself?

Judging from this, they're just waiting for the day they jump in.

The Ascension Cult Leader looked at him and said calmly.

"When you infiltrated my Ascension Sect's ranks time and again, I foresaw that this day would come."

"You will impersonate someone from the cult, intending to infiltrate this place."

"In that case, it's natural to make some preparations."
