I, who was turned into a woman by the Jade Maiden Master, want to rebel against the Heavenly Gang.

However, only Qin Rufeng herself knew that there was another driving force within her that compelled her not to wait even a moment longer.

That is the splendor of youth...

Qin Rufeng could not tolerate Feng Hua being controlled and enslaved by Yuan Mengli, not even for a moment.

Under the cover of Cang Shuyun's [Netherworld Hidden Moon] technique, the group concealed their presence and arrived at Qingyue Workshop.

Cang Shuyun used this technique to travel to and from Cangyun City many times without anyone noticing. Therefore, when Qin Rufeng rode the giant sword of the Sword Tomb and looked down at the pavilions of Qingyue Pavilion, he saw no movement below.

Qin Rufeng and her sisters bowed respectfully, then whispered, "Qingshi, Jinghong... protect the formation!"

Then she turned the blade of the giant sword from the Sword Tomb to face the Qingyue Pavilion. She stood in the middle, with Xia Jinghong holding the magic weapon Crimson Moon Umbrella Sword on her left and Li Qingshi gently playing the zither on her right.

Qin Rufeng revealed the form of a five-tailed fox demon, with five foxfires swirling around his body.

With eyes half-closed, he made a hand seal with his fingers, mobilizing the five elements of spiritual energy throughout his body.

The sixteen swords in the Qingping Sword Box and the sixty-four swords in the Biyue Canglong Sword Formation form a sharp blade ring array that rotates in opposite directions with the Foxfire Ring Array.

At this moment, the clouds parted and the moon appeared in the night sky, hanging high like a jade mirror.

Qin Rufeng resembled a fairy from the moon palace or a fox spirit under the moonlight; her ethereal and alluring figure was reflected in the clear moonlight and white snow.

The moonlight rippled across the water, making it seem as if the full moon was not hanging in the sky but reflected in the deep blue lake.

A sharp sword slowly emerges from the ripples...

Countless fragments of swords from the Sword Tomb were summoned, forming seven concentric circles rotating in opposite directions.

Qin Rufeng, who had already reached the Golden Core realm, used the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Formation, which was much larger in scale than before.

Only then did the lights come on in Yuan Mengli's room on the top floor.

At the same time, a falcon took flight from the roof ridge and quickly transformed into a colorful phoenix.

That wretched Yuan Mengli... how could she let Feng Hua become a rooftop beast, exposed to the wind and rain?

Qin Rufeng's anger surged to a boiling point. Without a word, more than a dozen sharp swords shot towards Yuan Mengli's room.

A flash of sword light pierced the silence of the night. In an instant, bricks and stones shattered, and wood chips flew everywhere. Window frames were sliced ​​into pieces by the sharp blade, and roof tiles fell to the ground and shattered. The lanterns on the eaves burned into fireballs, quickly turning to ashes in the night wind.

Feng Hua, like a colorful phoenix, circled in the night sky before landing atop Qingyue Pavilion. A figure swiftly climbed aboard and stood on her back… it was Yuan Mengli.

Chapter 171 I didn't expect this situation either.

Yuan Mengli was completely naked, seemingly caught off guard and unprepared.

However, she showed no shyness whatsoever, placing one hand on her hip and the other on her buttocks, chest out, head tilted back, and standing on tiptoe. The tall, bright headlights rippled and dazzled the eyes.

She stared at Qin Rufeng in surprise, but quickly regained her composure...

"Visiting me so late at night, disturbing my peaceful sleep," Yuan Mengli said. "They wouldn't even let me wear my clothes and they smashed up my room..."

"Ruyan, it's one thing for you to come back without saying hello. But how can you be so rude? It seems I haven't had a chance to properly guide you... It's my fault."

Qin Rufeng had no interest in engaging in verbal sparring. She glanced at Cang Shuyun, as if to ask if she could take action against Feng Hua.

Cang Shuyun shook her head slightly and said in a low voice, "The timing isn't good right now."

Qin Rufeng understood that it wasn't convenient to use magic while Feng Hua and Yuan Mengli were together. He needed to wait until they separated before he could make his move.

So Qin Rufeng provocatively said to Yuan Mengli, "I know you won't let me go. Since you can't find me, I'll have to come to you."

However, Yuan Mengli shook her head, "You're wrong, Ruyan. I've already let you go."

She sighed, then smiled and said, "I admit, I never expected you to break through to the Golden Core realm so quickly and dare to come looking for me right after. This really caught me off guard."

“But there are things you didn’t expect.” Yuan Mengli said to Qin Rufeng with a crooked smile, “Ruyan, you didn’t expect… I’ve already sold you out.”

"I have already sold you to the Crimson Moon Cult, and we have no connection whatsoever anymore."

"If you want your freedom, go ask the Crimson Moon Saintess. If you want Feng Hua..." At this point, Yuan Mengli disregarded all shame and sat with her legs spread wide. She gently stroked Feng Hua's feathers and said, "If we can agree on a price, I can sell her to you directly."

"But before that... you should ask the Crimson Moon Cult how they intend to deal with you."

As she spoke, Qin Rufeng's keen hearing had already caught the commotion. Her gaze swept across the lower levels of Qingyue Workshop. She saw at least two Crimson Moon Saintesses and five or six horse-faced men on the terraces and eaves.

Shangguan Qingxue immediately retorted to Yuan Mengli, "Hmph, who do you think you can fool? Rufeng has already reached the Golden Core Realm and is no longer a slave. Selling the contract won't help you."

"Hehehe." Yuan Mengli said with a cold laugh, "In the Cangyun Mountain region, everyone below the Golden Core stage is a slave, that's the rule. But even the Cangyun Empress did not promise to protect those above the Golden Core stage from becoming slaves."

"Qingxue, you have already reached the Golden Core realm, so why have you stayed in Qingyuefang for so many years?"

"If we're really going to be serious, what if someone willingly signed a contract to become a slave?"

"I think if Ruyan were to go to the Crimson Moon Sect, after being persuaded by the members, she would definitely be happy to voluntarily sign the contract of servitude."

Seeing Yuan Mengli's shameless demeanor and smug smile, Qin Rufeng understood the truth that plans can never keep up with changes.

She and her companions studied the pomegranate (8) Kugo 8th Master. This was not included in Ling Qiajiu's battle plan. Unexpectedly, a powerful enemy was added.

He thought that the Crimson Moon Sect's attempt to kidnap him, coupled with Zeng Yuzhen's betrayal, would lead to a falling out with Yuan Mengli. But he never expected... that she would actually cooperate with the Crimson Moon Sect.

The saying "plans can't keep up with changes" applies to everyone.

Presumably, Qin Rufeng, who possessed the Golden Core Realm and the Jade Cauldron Technique of the Five-Tailed Fox, had activated his seductive arts... which was also outside everyone's plans.

Horse-faced man? Well done!

This monster reached the Golden Core realm through physical refinement, but its mental and intellectual abilities were relatively low. It was too easily controlled.

Qin Rufeng then took the pipa from Li Qingshi's hands...

Previously in the Crimson Moon Prison, Qin Rufeng was unable to do anything when he used the Hundred Birds Sword Formation.

Now that I've reached the Golden Core Realm, things are completely different. Although I still can't cast spells simultaneously, I can use music and seductive arts.

Qin Rufeng opened her alluring eyes and lightly stroked the strings of her zither with her delicate hand. As the strings resonated, the horse-faced men visibly shuddered.

As the pipa music filled the air, the peach blossoms' alluring eyes emitted a pinkish glow. The horse-faced man's mane stood on end, his long spear waving like a flag. Hot breath spewed from his nostrils, and his black iron-like muscles creaked and groaned.

The veins on his thick, muscular arms bulged out, making him look terrifying.

Previously, Qin Rufeng needed to use himself as bait to arouse the desires in the Horse-Faced Man's heart, but now he can control the direction of their desires.

Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded...

On the second-floor terrace of Qingyue Pavilion, the Crimson Moon Saintess, who had been intently watching Qin Rufeng, was suddenly pinned down by the horse-faced man beside her, catching her completely off guard. A trembling, whimpering sound, like a three-cylinder engine, immediately followed.

The other saintess was completely unaware of what was happening; she only saw the horse-faced figure lunge at her. She quickly fled into the air. However, this time the horse-faced figure seemed to be of a higher level, possessing the ability to fly.

And so it transformed into a giant, flying blade of grass. The horse-faced man seized the saintess from behind, locking her head and body tightly like a train bento box. The saintess's snow-white legs were bent to her shoulders, her toes, painted with black nail polish, curled up and tensed as she struggled desperately. But she was completely unable to escape, as if she were sitting in a torture device.

Then, just like the famous "Spiral Piledriver" move from a certain fighting game on Earth, it plummeted from the sky straight to the ground...

The horse-faced man landed in a horse stance, like a thousand-pound bronze cauldron descending from the sky, his hooves shattering the blue bricks in front of the Qingyuefang gate. A bloodcurdling scream echoed through the night sky of Cangyun City.

The Crimson Moon Saintess, a Golden Core Realm cultivator, died on the spot...

Qin Rufeng was also dumbfounded... She never expected that the life-or-death duel would turn into this kind of scene.

Not only did the Holy Maiden suffer, but a horse-faced man also went after Yuan Mengli.

Yuan Mengli wasn't stupid; she quickly used a talisman to summon a puppet fairy to control the charging horse-faced demon.

With things having come to this point, Yuan Mengli had no choice but to order Feng Hua to fight.

She gritted her teeth and commanded, "Eat Liu Ruyan's hands and feet. The Crimson Moon Sect only needs her body to be functional."

Feng Hua then spread her wings and pounced on Qin Rufeng.

The thought of the two close friends killing each other filled Yuan Mengli with an evil smile.

She sneered, "Liu Ruyan, you lowly slave and you monster are quite a match. You're willing to risk your life to save her."

"Don't worry. I'll tell this monster about your good intentions."

“I will tell her that she ate your limbs. Even though you've become a cripple, I still sold you for a high price, making me a lot of spirit stones. And from now on, you'll be a furnace in the Crimson Moon Sect forever.”

"Hahahaha! Ahahaha!" Yuan Mengli burst into laughter, her expression contorted.

However, Qin Rufeng felt no fear whatsoever; this was the moment she had been waiting for.

Cang Shuyun stepped forward, forming hand seals and chanting incantations...

Several magic arrays, each the size of a jade plate, appeared in the sky. From within these arrays, transparent chains, shimmering with a faint light, extended and bound Feng Hua's body, rendering her unable to move.

Seeing that Feng Hua's movements were restricted, Cang Shuyun immediately changed his hand seals and began to use the spells of the Netherworld Holy Scripture in an attempt to force out Feng Hua's soul.

However, Feng Hua was simply too powerful, and even the Netherworld Witch could not defeat her in one fell swoop. The two then began to pull at each other, and the situation reached a stalemate.

Yuan Mengli never expected that someone could actually control Cai Luan's Feng Hua state.

Shocked, they quickly took out a handful of talismans and scattered them out.

The talisman contained the seals of the women from Qingyuefang, all of whom were killed by Yuan Mengli and turned into her puppet weapons.

This person is truly guilty of heinous crimes.

Chapter 172 You think you can compare to me?

The snow-white moonlight cascaded down like a silver waterfall onto the eaves of the pavilion...

Qin Rufeng stood atop the giant sword, lightly tapping the blade with her toes to change formation from horizontal to vertical. Originally, she was in the middle, with Jinghong and Qingshi on her left and right respectively.

But now, the giant sword's blade is pointed at Yuan Mengli. Xia Jinghong opens the Crimson Moon Umbrella Sword in front, using the sharp umbrella canopy as a shield. Li Qingshi stands behind Qin Rufeng, playing the "Lanling King's Battle Song," a piece personally taught by Rufeng.

With delicate hands plucking the strings, it's as if a million soldiers are charging into battle, with iron horses, golden spears, and flying swords.

The Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Formation was magnificent, swirling around Qin Rufeng.

The light trails left by the sword blade wove into layers of star rings in the night sky, just like the intricate mechanism of an armillary sphere slowly turning.

Below, amidst the collapsed pavilions, countless female puppets from the celestial workshops were performing different hand seals, with thunderclouds and flames rising and falling.

"Sword formation? Heh heh heh, with this piece of junk?" Yuan Mengli stood on the roof of Qingyuefang, looking at Qin Rufeng's sword formation with a disdainful expression.

In her opinion, most of Qin Rufeng's sword formation consisted of broken swords, which were nothing but scrap metal.

Despite her mockery, Yuan Mengli still unleashed a large number of golden talismans. She chanted incantations and made hand seals. The golden talismans then adhered to her body.

This series of actions made her look like a thousand-year-old female corpse suppressed by a talisman. Qin Rufeng could tell that this was a method to strengthen her defenses.

Yuan Mengli crossed her arms in front of her chest, holding a large handful of talismans in her hands, which she unfolded like a folding fan.

"Liu Ruyan, you have more swords than last time. If ten thousand swords were unleashed at once, it would be like a torrent of rain that could indeed overwhelm a person. Having a large quantity and enough supplies is not a bad fighting style."

"But unfortunately," Yuan Mengli smiled, "no matter how many swords you have, they don't equal the number of talismans I have."

"If we're talking about storage magic treasures, can you compare to me? How much space does a sword take up, and how much space does a talisman take up?"

"In terms of quantity... you're just a small fry compared to a big fish, you can't possibly beat me."

"Then, what about adding me?" As she spoke, Nangong Yue spread her fiery phoenix wings and took control of the high ground.

Countless fiery hawks spread their crimson-gold tail feathers behind her, like a sky full of red clouds illuminating the night sky. The stars and moon paled in comparison; the entire Cangyun City was bathed in her light.

"And me! Golden Armor Warriors Charge!" Gan Mingyue stood below, sword in one hand and flag in the other. The flagpole lightly touched the ground, instantly shimmering with golden light. Countless golden-armored warriors emerged from the formation.

With her improved cultivation level, Gan Mingyue's formations have also been strengthened. Now, golden wings have grown on the backs of her golden-armored warriors, allowing her to fight in the air.

Looking at the sky filled with fiery hawks, the ground covered with golden-armored men, and then at Qin Rufeng's Hundred Birds Sword Formation... Yuan Mengli, who had just been so arrogant, was instantly speechless. She could only grit her teeth.

She couldn't understand who these women were either.

Liu Ruyan was definitely not from the Hehuan Sect; she had known this for a long time. This was evident from her usual words and actions.

What about the other two? Their cultivation levels aren't high either, so how could they possess such powerful spells? Only a direct disciple of a major sect could use such spells.

That guy in red... he's clearly a top-tier prodigy with a fire elemental root. Someone like that would be a coveted target for any major sect, so how come I had no idea such a person existed in Cangyun City?

The two of them spared no expense in spending spirit stones to see Liu Ruyan... and helped this lowly slave stage a good self-inflicted injury scheme.

So that's how it is! These three people probably knew each other a long time ago.

They must be fellow disciples from some major sect, right? Those red fiery wings... it seems Liu Ruyan used them in the Crimson Moon Prison as well.

Yuan Mengli only realized this now, and it was too late.

Of the three sisters, Nangong Yue, the most impatient, couldn't hold back any longer and made the first move. Her True Qi of Blazing Fire condensed into the low chirping of a thousand birds, scattering across the sky like a meteor shower.

Gan Mingyue followed closely behind. Wherever her sword pointed, golden-armored warriors with wings on their backs charged forward like a tidal wave. These golden-armored warriors, accompanied by the "Prince Lanling's Battle Song," were amplified in effect, becoming an unstoppable force, like a tsunami or a torrent.

Yuan Mengli's summoned puppets were no match for them. Some managed to dodge the firebirds and withstand the golden armor, but they were also firmly entangled by the thorns summoned by Shangguan Qingxue.

Xia Jinghong, who had originally stood in front of Qin Rufeng with the determination to die, was somewhat disappointed... There was not a single spark or lightning for her to block, and no puppet could get close.

Yuan Mengli's face was pale, and her lips trembled. She was grinding her teeth to powder. She had already used up all her spiritual talismans, leaving her with nothing.
