A reincarnated girl, who begins by possessing a cultivator.

As soon as the two appeared, they set up an invisible barrier, completely sealing off the entire room and cutting off the last possibility of the Medicine Fairy Granny's escape.

The old woman, the Medicine Fairy, looked at the two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Nine Kingdoms Alliance before her. Her face, which had been slightly rosy from healing, instantly turned as pale as paper.

She gave a bitter smile, slowly withdrew her power, and gave up resisting.

At this moment, her injuries had not yet healed, and she was blocked by two powerful individuals of the same level. Any resistance would be futile.

"Wow! I really didn't expect you guys to find this."

The old woman, the Medicine Fairy, sighed softly, her tone filled with helplessness.

"It seems I was ultimately outmatched. I've lost, you've won, I'm not running away anymore."

One of them snorted coldly, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping over the Medicine Fairy Granny's face, which had regained its youthful beauty. A hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, which then turned icy cold.

"Hehe, Medicine Fairy, what skill! What a captivating appearance! We were almost fooled by your delicate looks. We never imagined that beneath your aged appearance of seventy or eighty years, you would hide such a young and beautiful face. Alchemists are truly amazing; they have the art of preserving youth."

Another female Nascent Soul cultivator covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Indeed, the Medicine Fairy's disguise skills are truly superb; even we almost misjudged her. However, it's too late to talk about that now. Come with us; our alliance leader and elders are very interested in the information you possess."

She emphasized the word "things," clearly indicating that she was certain that Granny Medicine Fairy and the others had obtained a great treasure from the secret realm.

The old woman, the Medicine Fairy, smiled sadly and said no more.

There was no point in saying more now. She knew that, given the Nine Kingdoms Alliance's modus operandi, now that they had her captured, they would inevitably use her as leverage to attack the Heavenly Dao Alliance, especially the Three Sects of Yunmeng.

"Let's go."

She slowly stood up, her expression calm, as if she had already accepted her fate.

The two exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.

This Nascent Soul alchemist from Luoyu Pavilion is one of the key targets of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance's operation. Capturing him alive would undoubtedly be a great achievement. The two, one on each side, escorted the Medicine Immortal Granny like prisoners, silently leaving the inn and flying towards the core area of ​​the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.

The capture of the Medicine Fairy Granny was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing a huge uproar among the high-ranking members of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.

Not long after, in the depths of a magnificent palace in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance Leader's Mansion.

The hall was dimly lit, and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. Seated on the throne at the head of the hall was a middle-aged man dressed in a long black robe with dragon patterns.

His face was dignified, exuding authority without anger. His aura was unfathomable, as if he were one with the entire world. He was none other than Wei Tianya, the leader of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Below him on either side sat several other Nascent Soul elders of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, as well as sect leaders or elders of various top sects.

In the center of the main hall, Granny Medicine Fairy stood calmly, being escorted by the two Nascent Soul cultivators who had captured her.

Although she had become a prisoner, the demeanor of the Nascent Soul Ancestor of Luoyu Pavilion remained, and she did not show the slightest servility.

"I have long admired your name, Fairy of Medicine."

Wei Tianya's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable pressure, slowly echoing in the hall.

"I know that with your status and cultivation, you must be resentful to have fallen to such a state, but now you should understand that arguing and resisting are futile."

He paused, his gaze sharp and fixed on the Medicine Fairy Granny.

"Speak! In which secret realm within the territory of my Nine Kingdoms Alliance did your three sects of Yunmeng obtain what treasure? And why did you infiltrate the territory of my Nine Kingdoms Alliance to commit such a petty theft?"

The old woman, the Medicine Fairy, raised her head and met Wei Tianya's gaze, which seemed to see right through people. Her mind raced.

She knew that since Wei Tianya was personally interrogating her, he must have come prepared. If she continued to conceal the truth, she would likely only suffer more torment, and might even implicate the entire Luoyu Pavilion.

Moreover, the matter of Master Mulan's cave dwelling could not be kept secret sooner or later, so it was better to confess voluntarily than to be tortured into revealing it.

Thinking of this, the Medicine Fairy Granny took a deep breath and slowly spoke.

"Alliance Leader Wei, fellow Daoists, now that things have come to this, I will no longer hide anything. Our infiltration into the Nine Kingdoms Alliance's territory was not intended to make enemies of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, nor was it to covet your alliance's resources. There was a real reason for it."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

A barely perceptible hint of curiosity flashed in Wei Tianya's eyes.

After organizing her thoughts, the old woman, the Medicine Fairy, recounted the whole story in detail.

"This matter begins with a few disciples of the Hidden Sword Peak of the Ancient Sword Sect. Their former peak master left behind a secret map pointing to a place that appeared to be the cave dwelling of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Three years ago, Fellow Daoist Qingyang of the Ancient Sword Sect led those disciples to explore the place following the map."

"Later, we lost contact with Fellow Daoist Qingyang. It wasn't until recently that a disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect informed the sect about this and produced the secret map. We were worried about the safety of Fellow Daoist Qingyang and his disciples. Since Fellow Daoist Qingyang is an important Nascent Soul combatant of the Ancient Sword Sect, Fellow Daoist Xuanjian took the lead, and with the assistance of fellow Daoists from Luoyu Pavilion and Qianji Sect, we went together to explore the place indicated by the secret map."

The people in the hall listened quietly, their expressions varied.

The old woman, the Medicine Fairy, glanced at everyone and continued speaking.

"The place indicated by the secret map is located beneath a rift valley in the Southern Wilderness Plains. It is no ordinary secret realm, but rather the cave dwelling of a mage from the Mulan Grasslands!"

"What? The cave dwelling of the mage from the Mulan Grasslands?"

These words immediately caused an uproar throughout the hall!

For cultivators of the Southern Continent, the Mulan Grassland was nothing short of a raging flood.

That was a foreign civilization that had been at war with the Tiannan Continent for many years. Its cultivation system was unique, its magic unpredictable, and its combat power formidable; it had always been a major threat to the Tiannan Continent. And now, the cave dwelling of the Mage Mulan had been discovered beneath the territory of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance?

Wei Tianya's originally calm expression changed slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Master Mulan's cave dwelling? Fairy Medicine, are you sure you're not lying? What level of cultivation did the cave dwelling's owner possess in his lifetime?"

The old woman, the Medicine Fairy, gave a bitter smile.

"Alliance Leader Wei, you are wise. How could I dare to lie now? The formation of that cave is extremely strange. It is called the Sand Sea Maze Formation. It is a unique spatial folding formation of the Mulan Grassland. It is extremely difficult to solve. It took us six Nascent Soul cultivators a lot of effort to barely break through the outer formation and enter."

"As for the cultivation level of the cave's owner."

The Medicine Fairy Granny took a deep breath and uttered an answer that shocked everyone.

"Based on the scale of the formation within the cave, the strength of the remaining restrictions, and some clues we found, we can infer that the owner of that cave was at least a powerful mage in the late Nascent Soul stage during his lifetime."

"hiss!"

Gasps of astonishment echoed throughout the hall.

The late Nascent Soul stage is a pinnacle of the cultivation system in the entire Tiannan Continent. Even within the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, only Alliance Leader Wei Tianya has reached this level.

The value of a cave dwelling belonging to a late-stage Nascent Soul mage like Mulan is unimaginable. The cultivation resources, techniques, secret arts, and unique magical treasures contained within are enough to drive any sect mad.

A Nascent Soul expert slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair and shouted in a deep voice.

"The cave dwelling of a late-stage Nascent Soul mage, Fairy Medicine, you actually emptied out such an astonishing treasure trove?"

His voice was filled with disbelief and a hint of barely concealed greed.

The old woman, the Medicine Fairy, closed her eyes, nodded, and her voice carried a hint of weariness and helplessness.

“That’s right. Now that we’ve found it and gone to such great lengths to get in, we can’t possibly leave empty-handed. We’ve taken all the rare treasures, high-level magic artifacts, and rare materials from the cave, as well as the original cultivation techniques, unique alchemy and weapon-forging techniques that Master Mulan practiced during his lifetime.”

This news was like a bombshell, exploding in the hall.

All the top leaders of the Nine Nations Alliance were restless.

Chapter 89 Internal Strife in Tiannan

The entire fortune of a late-stage Nascent Soul mage—this was like a pie falling from the sky, especially since it landed on the territory of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.

Although the Heavenly Dao Alliance got there first, this undoubtedly gave the Nine Kingdoms Alliance an excellent reason to launch an attack. Even if they couldn't get those things back, they could use this as a reason to demand resources from the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Wei Tianya's face darkened, and he slowly stood up, emanating a terrifying pressure that seemed to lower the temperature of the entire hall by several degrees.

He stared intently at the old woman, his tone icy and chilling.

"Medicine Fairy, how dare you three sects of Yunmeng sneak into the heart of our Nine Kingdoms Alliance and steal such a precious treasure! We, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, must settle this score with your Heavenly Dao Alliance and the three sects of Yunmeng."

The old woman was so overwhelmed by the other party's imposing aura that she could hardly breathe. Her heart tightened, knowing that her worst fears had come true.

So she quickly explained.

"Alliance Leader Wei, please calm down. This was truly an accident. We did not do it intentionally; it was just an emergency to rescue our fellow disciples..."

"enough."

Wei Tianya abruptly waved his hand, interrupting her.

"At this point, any explanation is futile. What you stole was not just a treasure located in our Nine Kingdoms Alliance's cave, but also the face of our Nine Kingdoms Alliance. This is intolerable. This matter will not be left so easily."

After speaking, he swept his gaze over everyone in the hall, his voice like the clash of metal, carrying an unquestionable command.

"Pass on my orders."

All the high-ranking members of the Nine Nations Alliance inside the hall immediately stood at attention and responded in unison.

"Alliance Leader."

"Immediately assemble all Nascent Soul warriors of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance. I, the Alliance Leader, will personally lead the team to escort Fairy Medicine to the Heavenly Dao Alliance headquarters. I want to ask my old friends in the Heavenly Dao Alliance in person how they plan to resolve this matter."

Wei Tianya said with absolute certainty.

"Yes, Alliance Leader."

The crowd responded enthusiastically, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Wei Tianya glanced at the helpless-looking old woman, the Medicine Fairy, and snorted coldly.

"Fairy Medicine, we're sorry to trouble you. Please come with us. We hope that Fellow Daoist Long and Madam Feng of the Heavenly Dao Alliance will give us a satisfactory explanation for your sake and the future of your Falling Rain Pavilion."

Before she finished speaking, two Nascent Soul cultivators stepped forward and took out specially made restrictive magic artifacts to completely seal the Medicine Immortal Granny's cultivation.

Then, Wei Tianya took the lead, transforming into a dazzling stream of light and soaring into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, as well as the elite disciples of various sects, surged out of the Alliance Leader's Mansion like a tide, gathering into a massive force, and flew mightily towards the border between the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Nine Kingdoms Alliance.

Wei Tianya, the leader of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, personally led a team to escort the Nascent Soul Ancestor, the Medicine Immortal Granny, from Luoyu Pavilion to the Heavenly Dao Alliance for questioning.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the Nine Kingdoms Alliance and even neighboring spheres of influence.

Everyone understood that a massive conflict had broken out among the factions within the Southern Continent.

Heavenly Alliance, Yunmeng Mountain Range, Ancient Sword Sect.

Several Nascent Soul elders, including Xuan Jianzi, Huo Lingxianzi, Qingyang Daoren, Mo Laoguai, and Liehuo Daoren, as well as Core Formation elders such as Zhou Zhen, and Hidden Sword Peak disciples such as Lu Yi and Peng Zhan who had managed to escape and return, gathered together.

Their faces showed anxiety and unease.

"Junior Sister Huoling, is there really no news about Su Chun and the other two girls?"

Xuan Jianzi frowned as he looked at Fire Spirit Fairy, his tone filled with worry.

Su Chun is not only a disciple of Hidden Sword Peak, but also possesses many secrets of the Mulan Grassland, making her safety of utmost importance.
