My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

Hearing this unreasonable accusation.

Jiang Liyue, who was still immersed in shame, indignation and grievance, suddenly widened her beautiful eyes.

Her guilt and sadness vanished instantly after Li Chen's words.

How can there be such a shameless man in this world!

"Shut up!"

Enraged, Jiang Liyue grabbed a small stone and hurled it at Li Chen.

"What did I lose? I lost a lot! I'm an innocent young woman, and you...you..."

Jiang Liyue was so embarrassed that she couldn't continue speaking, and could only blush and angrily scold.

"And stop acting innocent after getting the benefit! Take a good look at your own body!" she said through gritted teeth.

"You've absorbed all of my Yin energy, my very essence! Not only has your cultivation been strengthened, but your spatial laws have also become perfectly complete thanks to the harmonization of the Yin energy!"

"If it weren't for my Yin energy neutralizing it for you, do you think you could have so easily withstood the violent impact of the Qi cultivation infusion? You might have exploded and died long ago!"

Li Chen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He quickly closed his eyes and carefully examined himself.

really.

The silver-gray spatial power, which was originally somewhat raw and volatile, now flowed through his meridians as gently as if it were his own arm.

The harmony between the physical body and the laws reached an unprecedented 100%.

Even the purple-gold lightning spirit root has become more refined and condensed.

"Oh dear, it seems that's really the case."

Li Chen touched his nose, and the anger in his heart subsided a little.

Although he lost half of his Nascent Soul realm, he gained perfect mastery of the spatial laws in return, plus a stunningly beautiful Golden Core stage cultivation partner for free. This deal... doesn't seem too bad.

"Ahem, well, what is it?"

Li Chen coughed twice and stood up from the corner.

He took out a clean robe from his spiritual space and slowly put it on.

"Since it has already happened, and we are all adults, let's just consider it a win-win situation where everyone gets what they need."

Li Chen waved his hand, appearing very magnanimous.

"Don't worry, I, Li Shimin of the Great Tang Dynasty, am a responsible man. Now that I've slept with you, you're mine from now on. As for that damned Qingxuan Sect, I'll wipe it out for you as soon as I get out of here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liyue blushed and couldn't help but spit.

"Who's on your side! You're spouting nonsense!"

But a hint of shyness and sweetness, which she herself did not even realize, flashed in her clear eyes.

The two were dressed neatly.

Each of them circulated their cultivation techniques to calm the surging and turbulent golden core essence within their bodies after their recent breakthrough.

boom--!

Just then.

A terrifying, earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted above the underground cavern!

The entire cave began to shake violently.

Countless stalactites broke off from the cave ceiling and fell into the underground river, splashing up huge sprays of water.

A massive hole, ten zhang wide, was blasted into the hard rock wall by an incredibly violent spiritual force!

The blinding sunlight poured down through the hole.

Accompanied by billowing smoke and dust.

An old man dressed in a gray robe, with a withered face and eyes as cold as a venomous snake, walked slowly into the hole with his hands behind his back.

It was that Golden Core stage elder from the Qingxuan Sect who had been tracking him all along!

"Hehehe..."

The gray-robed old man hovered in mid-air, emitting a chilling laugh.

His sharp old eyes were fixed on Li Chen and Jiang Liyue, who were standing below the stone wall.

"Running? Why did you stop running?"

The old man in the gray robe looked down at them, his eyes filled with mockery and cruelty.

"Two foolish little mice. Do they really think they can escape my search by hiding in this underground spiritual marrow cave?"

"It took me three whole days and three nights to carve out this stone mountain."

The old man sneered repeatedly, and the terrifying pressure emanating from his body, belonging to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, was like a tangible giant wave, crushing down on the two people below.

In his view.

The two people in front of them were a Foundation Establishment stage junior who only knew how to hide, and a female cultivator who had just entered the sect.

In this sealed underground cave, they were already trapped like turtles in a barrel with no way to escape.

"The man's soul will be extracted and refined, the woman's will be taken back to the sect!"

The gray-robed old man cruelly licked his lips, and his right hand suddenly shot out.

A phantom hand formed from grayish-brown true essence, accompanied by a piercing sound, descended directly towards Li Chen's head like a mountain crashing down.

Faced with this incredibly powerful attack.

Li Chen did not dodge.

Jiang Liyue did not dodge.

Neither of them even changed their expressions.

Li Chen raised his head slightly, looking at the gray-robed old man in mid-air, and a smile that was both extremely bright and incredibly cruel slowly appeared on his lips.

"Old man, what are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty up there?"

Li Chen chuckled softly.

next moment.

He took a sudden step forward.

"boom!"

A terrifying surge of spiritual energy, like the eruption of an ancient volcano, burst forth from Li Chen's body!

The purple-gold lightning law coiled around him like an angry dragon, and the deep silver-gray spatial power instantly distorted the air around him.

at the same time.

Jiang Liyue also stepped forward and stood side by side with Li Chen.

The extreme yin energy erupted, and the temperature inside the cave instantly dropped to absolute zero, even freezing the surface of the underground river.

Two immense and pure Golden Core stage spiritual pressures, like two divine swords sweeping back the sky, directly tore the gray-robed old man's illusory hand into countless fragments!

midair.

The old man in the gray robe's smug and cruel smile froze completely on his face.

His sharp, eagle-like eyes were now wide open, almost bursting.

He stared intently at the two imposing young men below, his mind reeling with unprecedented turmoil.

"Golden... Mid-stage Golden Core?!"

The old man's voice was distorted, like a screaming chicken whose neck had been stepped on.

"That's impossible!"

He roared hysterically.

"Just three days ago, you were both only at the Foundation Establishment stage! How could you possibly have both overcome the tribulation and broken through to the mid-Golden Core stage in just three days?!"

"What kind of monsters are you?! Did you grow up eating elixirs of immortality?!"

The old man in the gray robe completely broke down.

It is common knowledge in the cultivation world that breaking through to the Golden Core stage is as difficult as ascending to heaven, and one must even undergo a life-or-death tribulation.

But these two freaks in front of me actually slept in the cave for three days and then both became mid-stage Golden Core cultivators? In fact, the sheer amount of spiritual energy they possessed was even more terrifying than his own, a veteran Golden Core cultivator who had cultivated for three hundred years!

What's the point of fighting?!

"Want to know?"

Li Chen twisted his neck, producing a crisp cracking sound.

He looked up at the horrified old monster in mid-air, his smile gradually turning into a sinister grin.

"Go ask Yama, the King of Hell, in hell!"

The moment the words fell.

A flash of silver-gray light appeared beneath Li Chen's feet.

"Whoosh!"

Spatial teleportation activated.

He vanished into thin air, and Li Chen's figure appeared behind the gray-robed old man like a ghost.

"Old Deng, times have changed!"

Li Chen's left hand was held together with fingers like a knife, and the violent purple-gold palm lightning was compressed to its limit.

Without the slightest hesitation, carrying the destructive power to tear through the void, it stabbed fiercely into the old man's back!
