Mortal: Starting in a chaotic starry sea, I can upgrade everything.

"Hehehe, I am no Sect Master Sun, you have disappointed Sect Master Zhou."

As the sinister and chilling voice slowly faded, a series of hazy, indistinct figures emerged from the depths of the mist.

It gradually came into view.

As the fog dissipated, everyone was finally able to see the appearance of the leader.

He was dressed in a tight-fitting black suit, his posture was upright but he exuded a sinister and murderous aura, and he casually carried a huge fish bone-shaped magic weapon on one shoulder. It was cold and gleaming and exuded a strange and evil aura.

This person had disheveled black hair, and most of his face was completely covered by a cold, black iron mask, revealing only a pair of sinister, narrow eyes with a cold, eerie light in them, clearly not a kind person.

When Zhou Yuan heard the voice, her heart sank, as she felt that the tone was unusually familiar.

Upon seeing the person's true face, her delicate brows furrowed sharply, and her expression instantly turned fierce and angry:

"You ugly scoundrel, you thief!"

Wu Chou chuckled lightly, seemingly unintentionally, "Tsk tsk, why is Sect Leader Zhou so angry? Could it be that you've been harboring feelings for me all these years?"

"Oh, it's been more than three years since Fellow Daoist Wang passed away. Now you are the sole leader of the Miaoyin Sect, living a lonely and desolate life. It's understandable that you must feel lonely and restless."

These words were extremely frivolous and insulting, each one piercing the heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples of Jiyin Island behind him burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Hahaha……"

……

Arrogant and sinister, full of mockery and malice, the voices were piercing and echoed in the thin mist.

Faced with such vile and foul language from her husband's killer, Zhou Yuan felt a surge of anger, her jade-like fingers clenching tightly.

Then something occurred to her, and her expression changed from anger to shock, she said in disbelief:

"Could it be you, impersonating the Yin Sha Sect!?"

"Indeed, Sect Leader Zhou guessed it. That's right, everything that happened today was done by our Extreme Yin Island."

Wu Chou sneered and admitted it without any politeness.

Beneath the mask, his eyes gleamed with an undiminished malice, and his tone was filled with undisguised arrogance and ruthlessness, making no attempt to conceal it.

"What!?"

Upon hearing these words, the faces of all the female disciples of the Miaoyin Sect on the flying boat turned deathly pale.

Everyone was deeply shaken.

The depths of the Extreme Yin Island are terrifying; behind it sits the Extreme Yin Ancestor, a legendary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Now that Jiyin Island is clearly targeting Miaoyin Sect, how can these disciples possibly survive?

An atmosphere of fear and unease immediately filled the air.

Many disciples trembled slightly, their eyes filled with a desperate look of impending doom.

Only Zhou Yuan maintained the composure befitting a sect leader. Her beautiful face hardened, and she coldly warned, "Wu Chou, my Miaoyin Sect is protected by the Grand Elder of the Star Palace. Anyone who dares to harm my Miaoyin Sect in the slightest is openly challenging the dignity of the entire Star Palace!"

Wu Chou sneered, his tone arrogant and disdainful: "Provoking the Star Palace? Sect Leader Zhou, don't deceive yourself. The mere Miaoyin Sect isn't worth the Star Palace's personal intervention."

As he spoke, a lewd grin appeared on the half of his face beneath his mask.

His gaze lingered on Zhou Yuan without any attempt to conceal it: "I have always been chivalrous towards women. If Sect Leader Zhou obediently puts down her magic weapon and binds and seals her spiritual power today, I, Wu Chou, guarantee that I will not harm my disciples in the slightest. I will only... hehe, treat Sect Leader Zhou well."

On the flying boat side, Elders Fu and Zhao both had grim and ugly expressions.

The two exchanged a quick glance, a resolute glint flashing in their eyes simultaneously.

Zhao Zheng hurriedly turned to look at Jiang Yu, who had been calmly observing the situation, and said urgently, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, something terrible has happened! Wu Chou is treacherous, ruthless, and extremely difficult to deal with. Now he has his eye on the Miaoyin Sect. If..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yu calmly interrupted, "Don't worry, I will take action."

A look of great joy flashed across Zhao Zheng's face.

His spirits lifted immediately, and he said in a deep voice, "Alright! Then the two of us will join forces with Fellow Daoist Jiang to defeat this fiend!"

Wu Chou stood in the thin mist, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere around him, quietly awaiting Zhou Yuan's reply.

After a moment, he spoke slowly, his tone laced with a playful urgency: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, what's your decision?"

"You villain! Do you really think my Wonderful Sound Sect is without anyone?!"

Zhou Yuanyu's face was frosty, and a clear, delicate voice suddenly rang out across the sky.

With a flash of inspiration, a magical pipa with flowing ancient patterns suddenly appeared in his palm.

She held it firmly in front of her, the zither's body shimmering with a faint spiritual light, already brimming with a fierce and deadly sound.

Without further hesitation, Zhao Zheng and Elder Fu, both Core Formation cultivators, leaped into the air, their robes billowing through the air, and instantly flew to the front to form an array.

Jiang Yu's spiritual energy surged silently as he followed closely behind the two.

The four stood several meters apart, facing Wu Chou and the people from Jiyin Island behind him, locked in a tense standoff.

Zhou Yuan gritted her teeth and said, "My Miaoyin Sect has four Core Formation experts. Today, I will annihilate you, you villain!"

Even if Wu Chou is only at the mid-stage of Core Formation, the presence of three Core Formation experts would be enough to intimidate the opponent, forcing them to be wary and back down.

To Zhou Yuan's surprise, Wu Chou showed no fear on his face, nor a trace of seriousness in his eyes.

This person appeared nonchalant, as if he was completely unconcerned about the standoff before him.

Zhou Yuan was filled with doubt, her brows furrowed, and a sense of unease rose in her heart.

"Since Sect Leader Zhou doesn't know what's good for him, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Wu Chou's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he gave a cold shout.

He immediately began to perform a hand seal, and the giant fish bone magic weapon on his shoulder suddenly burst into black light, its eerie aura surging and soaring into the sky, carrying a strong, stench-filled yin wind that pressed forward.

A flash of light appeared on Zhao Zheng's wrist, and he immediately summoned a radiant gourd, shouting loudly, "Sect Master, we have come to your aid!"

Elder Fu slowed down a bit and also unleashed his own magic weapon.

Jiang Yu smiled faintly, and instead of waiting for the other two, he quickly formed strange hand seals with his fingertips.

Two thick, dark Yin energy burst from his palms and flew out, carrying a bone-chilling cold, shooting out through the air!

The target of this demonic energy was not Wu Chou at all, but instead it went straight for the two unsuspecting Elders, Fu and Zhao!

Elder Zhao's magic gourd spewed out a stream of spiritual energy, slashing towards Sect Master Zhou Yuan.

Jiang Yu's black demonic energy attacked Zhao Zheng and Elder Fu first.

The two had clearly been planning this for a long time, and their move was swift and ruthless.

"What!?"

Zhao Zheng and Elder Fu were caught off guard and had no time to activate their spiritual energy for defense.

He could only show a look of horror on his face, and the next moment he was fiercely swept and entangled by the surging Xuan Yin demonic energy!

the other side.

Zhou Yuan's sonic attack timely repelled Wu Chou's fishbone magic weapon, and the gourd attack behind her arrived in an instant.

With a loud "bang," Zhou Yuan's face turned pale as her protective dark armor was destroyed.

"Mysterious Yin Demonic Energy!"

Wu Chou exclaimed in surprise, and even the spiritual power output of his magic weapon stopped significantly.

"This..." The sudden turn of events left Zhou Yuan in disbelief.
