Junior Sister must ascend this time!

Jiang Mian nodded, gripping the string-light sword, and worked with Yun Qing to restrain Su Han. During this time, Yun Qing would occasionally provoke him further.

Su Han's emotions were running high, and his swordsmanship became slightly chaotic. Seeing that the situation was about right, Jiang Mian turned his wrist and transformed the String Light Sword into a flute, holding it to his lips.

Then a deep flute melody sounded, and Su Han unconsciously looked into Jiang Mian's eyes, his sword-wielding hand pausing and ceasing its attack.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan rushed over to try and wake Su Han, "Senior Brother Su, wake up! That's an illusion, don't..."

Before she could finish speaking, Si Mingche stepped in front of her, fanning himself, and Lu Xingzhou stepped out from behind him, sword in hand, and said with a smile:

"Never mind him, we'll play with you!"

Ye Xuan bit her lip. "Brother Si, aren't you two bullying me a bit?"

"It is a bit bullying."

Si Mingche nodded seriously, "But there's nothing we can do, we're not exactly good people."

Ye Xuan was dumbfounded. Was Si Mingche really this shameless before? She silently rolled her eyes, drew her sword, and began to fight the two of them.

While Su Han was engrossed in the illusion, Jiang Mian touched him all over, then shook her head at Yun Qing, "Junior Sister, the storage ring doesn't seem to be on him."

Yun Qing squatted down to the side, resting her head on her hands. "Did you search both the top and the bottom?"

Jiang Mian pondered, "No one would put their storage ring down there, would they?"

Yun Qing shook her head. "Fourth Senior Brother, you're too naive. He'll definitely put the storage ring in a place no one would expect. Given his personality, he wouldn't trust anyone with it."

She turned her head slightly away, then continued, "Fourth Senior Brother, take his pants off."

Jiang Mian paused, "Junior Sister, do you really have to go this far?"

Before Yun Qing could reply, he made his move with a sinister smile…

Su Han's cultivation level was higher than Jiang Mian's, so the illusion did not trap him for too long. However, when he woke up, everything had changed.

Ye Xuan was controlled by Si Mingche, and her identity jade token was also held in Lu Xingzhou's hand, which could be crushed with just a little force.

The same goes for his three junior brothers. A hint of disdain flashed in Su Han's eyes. What a bunch of useless things!

"Open your mouth~"

Su Han looked at Yun Qing suspiciously. What did she mean by that?

Before he could even think, Pei Shubai punched him in the stomach. He instinctively opened his mouth, but before he could catch his breath, Yun Qing took the opportunity to throw a pill into his mouth.

Su Han bent over abruptly, sticking his fingers into his throat and desperately trying to pry anything out, but he couldn't get anything out; the pill had already dissolved completely.

"What...what did you feed me? Let me tell you, all the elders are guarding outside the secret realm. If I die, your Chengtian Sect will be in deep trouble!"

Yun Qing smiled at him, "Don't be afraid, this isn't poison, it's just temporarily suppressing your cultivation."

Su Han hurriedly circulated his spiritual energy and then discovered that his cultivation level had dropped from the late Golden Core stage to the Foundation Establishment stage, just a little bit away from becoming the Qi Refining stage.

...It would be better to just poison him!

Yun Qing tossed the storage ring she'd taken from him up and down, "Didn't you look down on Foundation Establishment cultivators? Now you are too. How does it feel?"

Su Han subconsciously looked down at his waist and his composure crumbled again. He had moved the storage ring to a more hidden place because he was afraid that Yun Qing and the others would appear. Even his junior brother didn't know about it.

He then thought of how he had just entered the illusion and how his body had been arbitrarily violated by these people, and he felt so ashamed that he wanted to die on the spot.

Now not only has he lost his spot as an elite disciple, but his reputation has been completely ruined!

Su Han wasn't unwilling to struggle, but he was currently at the Foundation Establishment stage, while the other side had eight people, six of whom were at the Golden Core stage. How could he possibly fight them?

He crouched down and hugged himself with heartache. Could this Yun Qing still be human?

Yun Qing patted his head affectionately and said, "I'll let you leave as long as you answer a few questions for me."

"Otherwise..." Yun Qing let out a villainous, sinister laugh, "Otherwise I'll have your junior brothers and sisters eliminated one by one in front of you."

Shen Qingchen couldn't help but turn to Pei Shubai and ask, "Has your junior sister always been like this? Was your sect leader recruited through proper channels?"

Although Pei Shubai also felt that his junior sister's expression was a bit sinister, he still lied and said, "My junior sister is punishing evil and promoting good, what do you know?"

Shen Qingchen: ………

Although Su Han felt that the questions Yun Qing raised were definitely not simple, he had no choice but to bow his head when he was under someone else's roof. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What questions?"

Yun Qing squatted down, resting her chin on her hand, and asked, "What is the true purpose of your Immortal Alliance entering the secret realm this time? Is it related to the Seven Sects?"

Su Han didn't expect Yun Qing to ask so directly. Although he knew a little about the inside story, he absolutely couldn't say it. Even if he managed to return to the Immortal Alliance, the Alliance Leader wouldn't let him stay any longer.

"I have no idea."

"You're not being honest." Yun Qing looked at Gu Changfeng, nodded to him, and said, "Let's do it."

Gu Changfeng forcefully crushed a disciple's identity jade token. Su Han watched helplessly as he disappeared before her eyes. Although she knew he was not dead, she still felt a little sad.

Yun Qing continued, "If you don't answer, I'll have to eliminate you all."

At this moment, Su Han suddenly remembered what Elder Hu had told him before the trip: if anyone among them was eliminated, they would be expelled from the Immortal Alliance.

He could ignore them, but they'd been calling him Senior Brother Su for so long, so he'd better save one if he could!

Su Han considered the matter for a moment and said, "I don't know the specifics. I only know that the task our leader gave us is for this spiritual vein core map. You also know the importance of spiritual energy for ascension. Our leader is probably trying to increase the number of ascension slots."

Yun Qing sighed, "This child is really naive. If it were really to increase the number of ascension spots, the Immortal Alliance wouldn't need to act so secretly."

"The second question is, why did the Immortal Alliance suddenly recruit the direct descendants of the five great families some time ago? As far as I know, the Immortal Alliance has very strict requirements for recruiting disciples, and these few do not meet the standards of the Immortal Alliance disciples at all."

Ye Xuan suddenly craned her neck, also wanting to know why the Immortal Alliance was not only willing to accept them as disciples, but also gave them more cultivation resources than other disciples.

The more I thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Had she gotten herself into trouble?!

Su Han cooperated this time because what he knew was also known to all the Immortal Alliance disciples, so it didn't count as a leak. He glanced at Ye Xuan, feeling somewhat guilty.

"The Alliance Leader recruited them only to control the five great families. In the early stages, he used resources to stabilize them and put their minds at ease. Once their cultivation level has improved, he will have them fight against other Immortal Alliance disciples, so that they can also understand the fighting styles of the great families' disciples."

To put it bluntly, they were nothing more than sparring partners for other Immortal Alliance disciples.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan tried to break free from Si Mingche's grasp, shouting, "Let me go! I want to shorten his lifespan!"
