It turns out, they were the main characters.

After all, stealing another man's wife and deceiving Ye Yu's two younger sisters is truly despicable.

I wonder what Senior Linglong saw in him.

"Ye Qian's spiritual energy seems to have changed. It looks like she has obtained some immortal opportunities from that cave." Yan Ruyu noticed the changes in the girl next to Mu Zhian at a glance.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister Yu. It seems your Dao Peak has gained another genius." Yu Xuanji said with a smile to Yu Ziyan beside her.

However, Yu Ziyan remained silent, only staring at the girl in the distance with some suspicion, and whispered:

Why do I feel like Ye Qian's condition is a bit off...?

Ying Guhuan's eyes flickered slightly, but he remained silent, staring intently at Ye Qian.

After a brief moment of staring, something important seemed to come to her mind. Her eyes changed slightly, and the teacup in her hand slipped from her grasp and shattered on the floor.

Ying Gu Huan suddenly stood up.

"...Qing Emperor?!"

Almost immediately upon hearing this name, the expressions of the several leaders in the Sky Pavilion all changed slightly.

Chapter 165 The Old Man Inside Mu Zhian's Body × Fairy Sister ○

"She is the Azure Emperor...?"

When Ying Guhuan's slightly surprised voice rang out in the sky pavilion, almost everyone present turned their gaze to the girl next to Mu Zhian.

The name Qingdi might be unfamiliar to the sect disciples, but the chief disciples present had all heard of it to some extent.

After all, she was one of the few Dao Integration Realm experts in the world.

Qingdi was originally the first Holy Maiden of Yaochi Holy Land in the Eastern Continent. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her guzheng was especially outstanding. In the past, there were many peers in the Nine Provinces who pursued this Holy Maiden, but Qingdi's cultivation speed quickly left her peers behind.

It can be said that the life of this saintess was full of legendary color. Ying Guhuan had only heard about her by chance when he was in the demon realm.

I never expected to see him inside the Liangyi Sect.

And the fact that she possessed Ye Qian's body means that she was already in an extremely weak state...

As the heads of the temple were having second thoughts upon hearing the name 'Azure Emperor,' the fairy in the azure dress in front of the pilgrimage hall inadvertently raised her head and looked towards the direction of the aerial pavilion.

Those emerald green eyes were utterly calm, yet they immediately snapped the leaders out of their reverie.

"It really is the Azure Emperor..." Yan Ruyu's eyes flickered slightly as she gazed at Ye Qian, whose temperament was completely different from before, and said softly:

"Judging from this, the one residing in the grotto of the Pilgrimage Temple is very likely the Azure Emperor?"

"But why is she in the Pilgrimage Hall? I've been in the sect for so long, and I've never heard of the Azure Emperor residing in the Pilgrimage Hall." Ning Yuan frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask.

And... why is this senior now possessing Ye Qian's body?

"The most crucial question is why she's now taking a walk with a sect disciple, admiring the peach blossoms," Yu Ziyan said quietly.

The chief members were all sensible people. They knew that the other party probably didn't like to be disturbed at the moment, so they didn't go up to disturb them. They just watched this scene from a distance in the sky pavilion and discussed it in hushed tones.

"Moreover, her aura is a bit off; it seems she only has a wisp of spiritual consciousness left..." Yan Ruyu said.

As fellow disciples of Dao Peak, Yan Ruyu also possessed a keen sensitivity to spiritual energy, and naturally noticed the special aura emanating from 'Ye Qian' at this moment.

Upon hearing this, the voices in the aerial pavilion fell slightly quiet.

With the Azure Emperor's strength, how many opponents could there be in this world? Especially now that he's been worn down to just a wisp of spiritual consciousness?

Even this wisp of spiritual consciousness is enough to send chills down one's spine.

Ying Guhuan paused for a moment before speaking, "No matter what, let's wait and see for now, and not disturb them."

The chief members nodded unconsciously, agreeing with Ying Guhuan's words.

Pilgrimage Temple!

Mu Zhian walked under the peach blossoms and glanced at his personal interface.

The villain's friend's dark light did not illuminate as it had at the beginning.

This means that the Azure Emperor's shout just now directly suppressed the demons in the Pilgrimage Hall, which is why he did not hear that strange, aged voice now.

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but secretly take a second look at the fairy in the green dress beside him.

Although she was possessing Ye Qian's body, her temperament and even her makeup were completely different from Ye Qian's. She was so beautiful, with unparalleled grace and fair skin. Her holy and elegant temperament, as well as her own strength, made even a pervert like Mu Zhian feel a sense of awe when he looked at her a few more times.

Then, I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to see such a pure and holy fairy being shy in bed.

As expected, the Dao Integration Realm is indeed the Dao Integration Realm; the aura is completely different... It's a pity that his days are numbered.

Looking at the ethereal fairy in the green dress, Mu Zhian felt a pang of regret and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The fairy in the green dress leisurely surveyed her surroundings.

Inside the Pilgrimage Hall, peach trees form a forest, and pavilions dot the sky, creating a picturesque scene. Moreover, since all the sect disciples present had just entered the cave, there was no noise in this place, which calmed everyone's mind.

“There weren’t peach blossoms like these in the past at the Pilgrimage Hall. The changes here are quite significant,” the fairy in the green dress suddenly said softly.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing her skirt to flutter, and a faint, cool fragrance wafted over, possessing a charm that could calm even the most restless heart.

"It was probably planted later by someone else," Mu Zhi'an said, glancing at the fairy strolling beneath the peach grove beside him, and then sighed softly.

"That demon's strength is truly terrifying. Just hearing his voice gave me an indescribable sense of unease. Fairy Sister's ability to suppress him under the Pilgrimage Hall is truly admirable."

The fairy in the green dress pursed her delicate lips, her posture as ethereal as a fairy. When she glanced at Mu Zhian, a faint smile appeared in her eyes. She said, "You don't need to trick me like this. If you have any questions, just ask me directly."

Despite being so readily exposed, Mu Zhian was not embarrassed. He simply said respectfully, "Fairy Sister is truly insightful, seeing through my thoughts at a glance."

After offering a few words of flattery, Mu Zhian looked at the peach blossoms around him and returned to the main topic, saying, "When I first came to the Pilgrimage Hall, I heard the voice of that demon. But after the sect leader did something on the altar, the voice disappeared."

Mu Zhian paused for a moment, then continued, "This junior is a little curious. It seems that none of the other disciples heard that voice, but why did this junior hear it?"

Because of the bonus from being a "friend of the villain"?

It's not impossible, but Mu Zhian still wants to confirm it again.

"That demon could only sense the aura of the same origin," the fairy in the green dress said casually.

Mu Zhian's steps abruptly halted as he gazed at the flawless profile of the fairy in the green dress and asked, "Same origin...?"

I share the same origin as an old demon...?

"Just because you share the same origin as him doesn't necessarily mean you're a demon. It just means that he might sense the aura of shared origin within you," the fairy in the green dress revealed the truth.

Mu Zhian stared intently at the fairy in the green dress, his mind racing with thoughts as he pondered what he had done to attract the old demon's attention.

If you like it... I'll change it.

"What is the identity of that demon?" Mu Zhian humbly asked.

The fairy in the green dress glanced at him, her eyes sparkling, and said softly, "A demon cultivator from the demon realm."

"What about his identity..." Mu Zhian wanted to ask, but he held back.

Since the other party did not directly reveal her identity, it means she did not want to say, and there is no point in continuing to ask.

The two strolled under the peach grove for a while, and Mu Zhian suddenly vaguely sensed that the girl beside him seemed to be surrounded by a green glow, and that wisp of spiritual consciousness was even more ethereal.

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly as he gazed at Ye Qian's profile and said, "Your spiritual consciousness seems to be even weaker."

The fairy in the green dress looked at Mu Zhi'an with surprise and said, "Your perception of spiritual energy is quite good."

Her spiritual consciousness is indeed much weaker than before. If this continues, it will probably disappear from this world completely in less than half a year.

However, the Azure Emperor was clearly prepared for this outcome.

"Is there any way to help you, senior?" Mu Zhi'an asked, gazing at the stunning profile of the fairy in the green dress.

The fairy in the green dress hesitated for a moment, her cherry-like lips slightly parted as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she held back her words because of her status.

She already knew the sect leader's purpose in "sending" Mu Zhi'an into the cave.

Now that she no longer has a cauldron, she is naturally unable to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world for her own use.

But that doesn't mean there are no solutions at all.

At least, there is indeed a way to reshape her body.

While it is impossible to obtain spiritual energy from the outside world, obtaining spiritual energy from within is still a viable method.

As for how to obtain it...

That method, however, made it difficult for this fairy, who seemed to reside in the Moon Palace and whose face was veiled by thin smoke, to speak.

Seeing the fairy in the green dress suddenly quiet down, Mu Zhian's mind started to stir.

I asked her if there was anything I could do to help, and her answer wasn't no, but rather silence.

This inevitably leads to much speculation...

After that, Mu Zhian remained silent, simply following beside the fairy in the green dress, while pondering whether he possessed any special qualities that could offer her assistance.

Mu Zhian suddenly said, "The fairy sister said before that as long as there is spiritual energy, the body can be reshaped, but you are currently unable to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world..."

"But if it's internal spiritual energy, is there a way?"

The fairy in the green dress raised her eyebrows slightly, slowed her pace a little, and turned to look at the seemingly gentle and refined young nobleman.

"The internal spiritual energy can indeed do that."

As she said this, a slight ripple appeared in the usually calm eyes of the fairy in the green dress.

After a moment of eye contact, she parted her red lips slightly and asked, "Young friend, are you a natural furnace for your soul?"

As expected, it's related to the innate furnace... Mu Zhian said respectfully, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, senior."

"If we rely on the spiritual energy of a naturally formed furnace, perhaps there is indeed a way to reshape the furnace I was in my previous life." The fairy in the green dress paused slightly before continuing:

"However, the prerequisite before that is that I can temporarily condense my body first."

"Is there any way to do that?" Mu Zhian pressed.

“Fairy sister has suppressed demons for the sake of the people and now her merits are complete. If possible, I would like to do something for you.” His tone was full of sincerity and “longing” for the fairy in the green dress.

However, the fairy in the green dress sensed "admiration" in Mu Zhian's longing gaze.

She had felt this gaze far too often back in the sacred land of Yaochi, yet most of her peers from the past were eventually buried under a mound of yellow earth.

Time is like a knife, leaving behind many withered bones on the path of cultivation.

Very few people can make it to the end on this path; most geniuses ultimately cannot withstand the passage of time.
