I let you tame beasts, and you've already formed a contract with your stunningly beautiful mast

Cao Kun sheathed the Chaos Broken Sword, and a wisp of chaotic energy emanated from his fingertips.

With a single flick of his wrist, he precisely pierced Ji Jinian's dantian, completely sealing off his dantian.

After doing all this,

Yu Linglong, Leng Qingyue, Qin Canglan, and three other peak masters at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm had already landed on the deck of the flying boat.

"Everyone's here by chance."

Cao Kun clapped his hands, pointed at Ji Jinian at his feet, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Young Master Ji just confided in me."

He said it wasn't easy to travel all this way with so many betrothal gifts, and he really wanted to experience the unique customs and culture of our Hehuan Sect.

Upon hearing this...

The three elderly peak masters behind Qin Canglan all changed their expressions at the same time.

They usually focus on their spiritual practice and have relatively conservative ideas.

They exchanged a glance.

With his hair half-white on the left side, Master Jia took a step forward, steeling himself.

"Elder Cao... Elder Cao, please reconsider!"

She glanced at Ji Jinian on the ground, her Adam's apple bobbing.

"We can kill those two guest advisors and retainers without a second thought. The Ji family is unlikely to go to war with us over two outsiders."

"But Ji Jinian is, after all, the legitimate eldest son of the Ji family."

"If we really treat him as a furnace, we'll drain his cultivation."

"Then we'll truly have a blood feud with the Ji family!"

Another peak master, dressed in a dark green dress, quickly joined in to echo her sentiments.

"Yes, Elder Cao!"

"If Ji Jinian does not return to the family for a long time, the Ji family will eventually go to Miaoyin Sect to inquire."

"It's a sure thing that we'll find our Hehuan Sect by following the clues."

"What if word gets out and the Ji family's Nascent Soul ancestor personally comes out of seclusion?"

"No one in our Hehuan Sect can withstand that old monster's wrath!"

The third, slightly overweight peak master assumed that Cao Kun had listened to him since he didn't speak.

Quickly offer a compromise solution.

"Elder Cao, perhaps... perhaps we should lock this boy in the dark dungeon first."

"They'll treat us to good food and drink, and hold us hostage."

"Even if the Ji family really comes knocking on our door to demand our return."

"At least we have some bargaining chips, which can preserve a glimmer of hope for our sect."

The three of them, one after the other, displayed their cowardice and concession to the fullest extent.

In their eyes, no matter how powerful Cao Kun's combat strength was, he was only at the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Facing a Nascent Soul stage cultivator is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Cao Kun listened to the repeated advice from the three men.

The smile on his face gradually faded.

He couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Have these three old women been staying in the mountains for too long and their brains have atrophied?

When people come to your door to forcibly take you away, you don't dare to utter a single word.

Now that I've solved the problem, you guys are jumping out to tell me how to do things?

Are they still being held hostage?

There's no such thing as tenderness and affection in the world of cultivation.

Releasing a tiger back into the mountains is something only an idiot would do.

Just as Cao Kun was about to speak up and shut these three idiots up.

"presumptuous!"

A powerful and authoritative voice rang out on the deck.

Having held a high position for a long time, Qin Canglan possessed an exceptional ability to read people's expressions and moods.

She realized something was wrong when she saw Cao Kun's eyes turn cold.

At this point, the Hehuan Sect and the Ji family have already broken off relations, leaving no room for negotiation.

At this critical moment, we absolutely cannot allow Cao Kun to harbor any resentment towards the sect!

In just a few days, one can raise their cultivation level to the peak of the late Golden Core stage.

He casually killed two peerless prodigies at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm with a single sword strike.

Given time, what is a Nascent Soul cultivator?

If we don't cling to this powerful figure now, are we going to wait until we're kicked aside later?

Qin Canglan stepped forward, her phoenix eyes filled with authority, and rebuked him sternly.

"A woman's view! Utterly foolish!"

"They've already defecated on our Hehuan Sect's gate, and you're still standing here hesitating!"

"If Elder Cao hadn't intervened today, our Joyful Union Sect would have completely lost face!"

"That brat from the Ji family dared to covet our sect's prodigy; he deserves to die!"

"Since he wants to experience it, then let's do as Elder Cao says!"

"Throw him into the lowest level of the servants' dungeon. Let him experience it for himself!"

Qin Canglan's voice was firm and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.

After reprimanding the three peak masters.

Qin Canglan turned around.

He faced thousands of Hehuan Sect disciples and elders below.

The spiritual power of the late-stage Nascent Soul stage was infused into the sound.

It spread to every corner of the Hehuan Sect.

"Improve the decree of our sect leader!"

"Elder Cao Kun has rendered meritorious service in protecting our sect, possesses extraordinary combat prowess, and is a peerless genius that our Hehuan Sect will never see again!"

"From this day forward, Cao Kun is officially promoted to Grand Elder of my Joyful Union Sect!"

"Commanding the inner sects, wielding the power of life and death!"

"His status is equal to that of this sect leader!"

"Throughout the sect, everyone who sees Elder Cao is as if they were seeing me!"

In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected.

Cao Kun's sword strike just now has completely won over everyone.

These words were spoken.

Thousands of disciples and deacons below knelt down in unison.

They bowed towards the flying boat in mid-air.

"Greetings, Elder Cao!"

"The Grand Elder is mighty!"

The sound was like a tidal wave, deafening.

Hearing the shouts from below, Cao Kun raised an eyebrow.

He didn't seem to care much about the empty title of Grand Elder.

No matter how prestigious a name is, it's not as tangible as a spirit stone in your pocket.

Cao Kun raised his hand and revealed two storage rings stained with blood.

In addition, the one that Ji Jinian wore on his severed hand flew into his palm at the same time.

He casually wiped away the divine imprint on it and sent a wisp of his divine sense into the ring.

Good heavens, no wonder he's a retainer of the Ji family, his wealth is truly substantial.

The two of them together had nearly a million mid-grade spirit stones, plus various sixth-grade pills and refining materials.

Ji Jinian, the eldest son of the Ji family, had an even more extravagant ring.

Inside, there were not only over 30,000 top-grade spirit stones, but also several high-level defensive magic treasures.

And a dozen or so rare talismans to save his life.

This is truly a windfall.

Cao Kun happily pocketed the three rings.

As for what about handing it over to the sect's treasury?

No, once it's in his hands, it's his.

After doing all this.

Cao Kun raised his head and looked at Qin Canglan beside him.

"Sect Leader Qin."

"I can't be bothered to take this wrecked ship and all this junk back with me."

"Consider this my donation as the newly appointed Grand Elder to the sect for its construction."

"Sect Leader Qin, you can handle this as you see fit."

These betrothal gifts were valuable.

But he had already taken the three most important storage rings and gotten the biggest piece of the pie.

As for this flying boat...

It is indeed a rare and invaluable flying artifact.

But driving such a large flying boat around would be too conspicuous and cumbersome.

It's better to do someone a favor and go with the flow.

Since Qin Canglan was so understanding, he publicly supported him.

You have to give yourself a little something in return.

really.

Qin Canglan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

The way he looked at Cao Kun was already drooling.

A genuine, radiant smile blossomed on that mature and exquisitely beautiful face.

"Then Canglan thanks Elder Cao for the generous gift."

Those three conservative peak masters were filled with regret upon witnessing this scene.

I knew Cao Kun would be so generous.

They just joined in cursing Ji Jinian too!

"I'll leave the rest of the mess to the sect leader to clean up."

After all,

Cao Kun put his left arm around Yu Linglong's slender waist and his right arm around Leng Qingyue's fragrant shoulder, while a ripple of spiritual energy rose from beneath his feet.

With these two exquisite beauties, one big and one small, he headed straight for Lianxiang Peak.

On the road.

Cao Kun quickly calculated in his mind.

Ji Jinian was captured, and his two retainers were brutally murdered.

Although the Ji family did not keep the life tablets of these two people, they could not detect it in a short period of time.

But this is ultimately a ticking time bomb.

If Ji Jinian remains missing for too long, the head of the Ji family will definitely send people to Miaoyin Sect to search for him.

One question was all it took to find out that Ji Jinian had once visited the Hehuan Sect.

A Nascent Soul stage ancestor.

Although he can now instantly kill early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, he is really not confident against a Deity Transformation cultivator.

The gap between different realms widens dramatically the higher one goes.

Time is tight.

Once back, have Yu Linglong take the Breakthrough Pill and the Advancement Pill.

Attempting to break through to the Divine Transformation stage.

Once Yu Linglong reaches the Nascent Soul stage, she can use the Chaotic Heavenly Fox Body to feed back her spiritual power.

One's own cultivation level will also rise accordingly.

"Master~"

Yu Linglong noticed Cao Kun's burning gaze and snuggled closer to him.

"Why are you staring at Linglong like that? Are you... thinking about her again?"

"Of course I want to. How could I not?"

"Go back and get down to business."

Leng Qingyue's cheeks flushed as she listened, a hint of anticipation creeping in.

So, I'm going to be with Master again...? (Part of the content has disappeared)

……

The servants' secret prison in the back mountain of the Hehuan Sect.

This place is perpetually shrouded in darkness.

The damp air was filled with a musty and rotten smell.

The surrounding stone walls were covered with slippery moss, and water droplets dripped down from the cracks in the rocks.

"Cough cough..."

In the dimly lit stone chamber, Ji Jinian slowly awoke.

A piercing pain came from my left cheek and the broken wrist.

"Ouch—my hand! My hand!"

Ji Jinian's face contorted in pain as he tried to circulate his spiritual energy to heal his injuries.

However, the next second...

He was horrified to discover that his dantian was completely still, and he couldn't even muster a trace of spiritual energy.

His cultivation has been sealed!

and.

His limbs were still chained to the four corners of the stone bed by thick black iron chains.

Just then.

A rustling sound of footsteps came from behind.

Using the faint firelight on the wall, Ji Jinian finally made out the appearance of these people.

It wasn't those alluring and seductive female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect.

It was a group of old women!

There were at least twenty or thirty!

Their faces were covered with wrinkles, their hair was sparse and gray, and their gray, coarse cloth clothes were tattered.

Some even lost all their teeth, and their mouths were dry and sunken.

They were all marginal figures in the Hehuan Sect with extremely poor aptitude, whose cultivation was stuck at the Qi Refining stage and could not make any progress in their entire lives.

Because they had no use to the enemy, they were assigned to do dirty and tiring work in a dark prison.

She had never even touched a man's hand before, let alone engaged in any kind of dual cultivation.

They had been living in this dark and desolate dungeon for decades.

at this time.

Dozens of old women surrounded the stone bed.

Dozens of murky eyes emitted a faint green glow.

Saliva dripped from their dry lips onto the stone bed.

"Slurp..."

An old woman with a full head of white hair and a hunched back wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

"I haven't seen such a handsome man in decades."

"I heard from above that he's still in the Golden Core stage!"

"A furnace for the Golden Core stage!"

Another old woman, who had only a few teeth left, rubbed her hands excitedly.

"Eating this piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh might just give us old bones another twenty or thirty years to live!"

"What...what are you going to do?"

Looking at these old women who were like wolves and tigers, with green eyes gleaming.

Ji Jinian finally realized what was happening and was terrified.

"Don't come any closer... Get away! All of you, get away!"

"I am the young master of the Ji family! Don't touch me, you old monsters! Ugh—"

Ji Jinian struggled desperately, and the iron chains rattled as they were pulled.

At that moment, the fear in his heart completely overwhelmed the pain of his severed wrist.

This is a thousand times more cruel than killing him!

"Young man, don't be afraid. This old woman will be very gentle~"

"No--!!!"

Accompanied by a final, heart-wrenching, and utterly horrific scream.

The unique features of the Hehuan School.

The eldest son of the Ji family has truly experienced it today.
