Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Seeing this, Qin Yi became anxious, thinking that something had happened to Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun.

"This? Damn it, those who aren't injured, or whose injuries are minor, hurry up and find someone!" Qin Yi asked anxiously.

However, just as everyone was about to take action, Murong Huan spoke up with a reminder.

"Elder, the formation has been broken and there are no more restrictions. We can use the Cloud Sect communication token to contact our two junior sisters first. If we can't reach them, we'll try again," Murong Huan said.

This sentence reminded Qin Yi.

"Eh? I almost forgot." Qin Yi patted her forehead, then took out her Yunzong identity token and used magic to search for it.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were already on their way back. After Lin Aoxue noticed that her identity token was trembling, she quickly took it out to check it and replied to the message.

Qin Yi, on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news.

"Ah... thank goodness, this girl went to help the Yunxia Sect." Qin Yi's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed completely. Then, not caring about her image, she plopped down on the ground.

The battle just now left her exhausted and nearly killed. She had to thank Ye Liuyun; to be precise, all four of them had to thank Ye Liuyun.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Ye Liuyun's pill only saved Qin Yi. If Qin Yi hadn't taken the pill and recovered to her full strength, they would probably have been surrounded and killed within twenty minutes of the battle.

When the Yun Sect members saw that Qin Yi had relaxed, they knew that Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were alright.

Not long after, the two returned and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the Yun Sect members had suffered no casualties.

"Thank goodness, Elder, everyone is alright." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

The disciples of Yunzong also quickly expressed their gratitude to Lin Aoxue.

"Junior Sister Lin, thank you so much. If you hadn't suddenly used that powerful magic weapon, we would all probably be dead here." Murong Huan quickly expressed his gratitude.

The disciples from the other three sects also quickly expressed their gratitude.

Without Lin Aoxue's primordial spirit treasure, they would have no chance against a cultivator of the Four Extremes level; an ordinary Divine Form Realm cultivator would have been enough to give them a hard time.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lin Aoxue was the savior of the disciples from the three families. The leading disciples of the three families quickly stepped forward and formally greeted Lin Aoxue.

Qin Yi then waved to Ye Liuyun.

"Little guy, come here for a second," Qin Yi said in a kind voice transmission.

Ye Liuyun immediately went over.

"Elder, what are your orders?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

"Little girl, you should know what I want to ask: Did you refine that pill yourself, or did you get it from somewhere else? Don't worry, I'm just asking, I won't tell anyone else," Qin Yi asked kindly.

Ye Liuyun smiled mysteriously.

"Well, this is a secret of mine, and it's not convenient for me to tell the Elder." Ye Liuyun looked embarrassed.

However, this sentence can also be considered an answer. Qin Yi had never seen a pill with such a good healing effect. It could no longer be described as an ordinary pill.

"Okay, if you don't want to tell me, then don't. I'll keep it a secret for you." Qin Yi didn't press the matter.

This is a truly intelligent person. After all, Ye Liuyun possesses a strange fire and can refine so many bizarre pills; he must have a big secret.

If she asks too many questions, it will only make Ye Liuyun distance himself from her and become wary of her, which is not conducive to the development of their relationship.

Not long after, a large number of cultivators from the Supreme Response Sect arrived in Tianyi City. They brought a large quantity of healing pills and flew to various parts of the city to provide relief.

Among them were four powerful cultivators at the first level of the Nascent Soul realm, who, along with their entourage, specifically sought out people from the four major intermediate-level sects.

These people were very surprised when they found Qin Yi and the others, because as far as they knew, the main targets of the Anti-Immortal Alliance were the four sects of the Southern Region and the Yuan Shen families in the city. However, they did not expect that the four sects of the Southern Region had not suffered any casualties.

"This? Qin Yi, how did your four families escape the attack by the demons of the Reverse Immortal Alliance without a single casualty?" a Nascent Soul expert asked in surprise.

These four people were elders of the Supreme Response Sect who were in charge of the affairs of the four sects in the Southern Region. They naturally knew each other, and the one who spoke was Elder Taihan.

Qin Yi didn't know how to explain it, but since they had been asked, they definitely needed an explanation.

Qin Yi had no choice but to call Lin Aoxue.

"Lin girl, why don't you explain this to the envoy from the upper sect?" Qin Yi said helplessly.

Lin Aoxue thought for a moment, then took out another Yuan Shen treasure.

The four were taken aback when this thing was brought out.

"Huh? This is Senior Brother Taibai's primordial treasure, isn't it?" The four of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

They definitely recognized Li Bai's aura. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator could condense this item, but the cost was high, as it required consuming one's own source power to condense. It was estimated that it would take several years to recover after condensing just one.

Upon seeing the other party's reaction, Lin Aoxue immediately understood that Li Bai was a cultivator from the Taishang Ganying Sect.

"It seems that you seniors recognize this Primordial Mystic Treasure. My sister and I met a senior in Jiangzhou. This senior felt that we were destined to meet, so he gave us two Primordial Mystic Treasures, saying that they could save our lives in times of crisis. Just now, when facing the attack of those evil cultivators, I used one, which is why the four sects did not suffer many casualties," Lin Aoxue explained.

Tai Han and the others immediately understood.

"I see, I understand." The four exchanged glances, then handed Qin Yi and the others a considerable amount of healing medicine. This amount of medicine was enough to allow severely injured cultivators below the Four Extremes Secret Realm to fully recover within three days.

After confirming that there were no major problems with the four sects, the four men returned to report.

Then look at Li Bai. He was sitting on the top of a tall building drinking, mainly because the words of the Old Ancestor Chi Lei before his death had made him somewhat unsettled.

Not long after, a figure appeared out of thin air beside Li Bai. It was none other than the Heavenly One Ancestor. The Heavenly One Ancestor sat cross-legged in the air and glanced at his little disciple out of the corner of his eye.

The Heavenly One Ancestor only accepted seven direct disciples, and Li Bai was the seventh.

"Boy, why do you look so melancholy? Did Old Ghost Chi Lei say something to you?" Ancestor Tianyi asked calmly.

This Crimson Thunder Ancestor and Heavenly One Ancestor are of the same generation, although Crimson Thunder Ancestor is older.

“Master, I think some of what Senior Chi Lei said makes a lot of sense. What is the evil path and what is the righteous path? Why are there so many people in the Reverse Immortal Alliance? Are they all born evil?” Li Bai asked.

However, Ancestor Tianyi shook his head directly.

“There are no inherently evil people. It can only be said that although the cultivation civilization of the Northern Region has developed to this level, we still do not have enough power to control our own destiny. This Tang Kingdom is a huge cage, and we are just birds in the cage. We cannot decide the direction of the cultivation world. The one who truly has the ability to decide all this is the Holy Land. Do you understand?” Ancestor Tianyi replied seriously.

Many people believe that the Supreme Response Teachings define evil, but in reality, they are just following orders. As for the hatred that arises from the fighting among cultivators, there is nothing they can do about it.

They're not the only ones who exterminate entire families; powerful sects do it too.

There is no such thing as harmonious coexistence in the cultivation world; might makes right.

"I know, I'm just feeling a bit sentimental," Li Bai sighed again.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. We owe you a lot this time. If it weren't for you in the city, ordinary people wouldn't have been able to stop this old ghost, Chi Lei. It's really troublesome. Our Supreme Induction Sect has suffered a great loss this time. Sigh!" Ancestor Tianyi said with a headache.

This time, they need to compensate the cultivators in the city for their losses, rebuild the Star River Array, and so on. They estimate that they will have to use nearly half of their sect's reserves to fill all the gaps.

Meanwhile, at Wanbaolou, Jin Baifeng already knew Ye Liuyun's identity.

Throughout the entire Tang Kingdom, they only issued two top-tier VIP tokens: one to the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, and the other to a mysterious alchemist.

"I never expected it to be her? This is such a surprise." Jin Baifeng was full of surprise after learning Ye Liuyun's identity.

Their Jin family's ancestor of the Divine Realm was saved by Ye Liuyun. How could she not be shocked? She was already thinking about how to get closer to Ye Liuyun.

The Reverse Immortal Alliance's conspiracy cannot be considered a complete success, but it is not a complete failure either. The Reverse Immortal Alliance cultivators who were well hidden in the city immediately reported the losses of the various affiliated sects of the Supreme Induction Sect in the city.

Meanwhile, in a secluded area where the Southern Ridge meets the Central Plains, there is an underground palace surrounded by array formations, where several powerful cultivators are sitting.

"The first wave of disruption to the Southern Ridge Gathering is over. Chi Lei has passed away, and the remaining Nascent Soul experts have been imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison by the Supreme Induction Sect. About half of Tianyi City has been destroyed, and more than five million Tianyi City cultivators have been killed. However, the miscalculation was that the forces belonging to the Supreme Induction Sect, such as the four major sects of the Southern Region, suffered no casualties." A middle-aged man dressed in black brocade robes announced to the crowd with a frown.

The others, upon hearing the result, were neither satisfied nor particularly disappointed. The fact that several Nascent Soul cultivators nearing the end of their lifespans had inflicted such heavy casualties was enough to give the Supreme Response Sect a headache for a while.

However, some people seemed very dissatisfied.

There stood Yu Mei, dressed in a red dress; she was a high-ranking member of the Reverse Immortal Alliance.

The people here are all at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, making them some of the strongest members of the Reverse Immortal Alliance.

This place is also the headquarters of the Reverse Immortal Alliance, built in the Netherworld Dead Land near Zhongzhou. This place is considered an unmanaged area.

"Boring. It would be more worthwhile for them to risk their lives to bomb the Supreme Induction Sect's headquarters than to deal with a bunch of weak cultivators," Yu Mei said disdainfully.

“What the Jade Charm Sect Leader said is right. Alliance Leader Tianyuan, don’t you think this is a bit of a waste of manpower? This time, we’ve mobilized a third of our Reverse Immortal Alliance’s manpower. Not to mention those few who are about to die, those Four Extremes Secret Realm experts are our backbone. If we lose so many at once, it will probably take us a long time to launch a large-scale operation again.” Another alluring woman in purple clothes also chimed in with her complaints.

The leader of the Reverse Immortal Alliance is named Tianyuan, and he is at the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

"Heh, attack the stronghold of the Supreme Response Sect? Ridiculous. Even a Saint of the Five Elements Realm couldn't break through the defenses there. How could they possibly succeed? What, everyone, do you still think those cultivators from Tianyi City deserved to die?" Tianyuan asked sinisterly.

"Hmph! Boring." Some people were too lazy to say anything more.

Seeing that the others were unhappy, Tianyuan quickly added something else.

"Don't worry, this matter is not over. This is only the first wave of attack. There will be a second wave of offensive. When the Nanling Grand Gathering begins, that will be the real start of the operation. The envoy from the Holy Land should be arriving soon. The trouble with the Supreme Response Sect is not over yet."

And so, a terrifying night passed. Ye Liuyun and the others returned to their previous residence, which, although somewhat damaged, was still habitable.

As dawn broke, Ye Liuyun lay in bed, having not slept a wink all night, until it was completely bright outside the window.

"It's dawn. Last night was really long," Ye Liuyun sighed, looking at the broken window.

Lin Aoxue also stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside. Everywhere she looked, there were cultivators from the Supreme Response Sect moving corpses.

All night long, the sound of weeping could be heard everywhere outside; the place was like purgatory.

With over five million cultivators, it's no exaggeration to say that the blood flowed like rivers and the corpses piled up like mountains.

In the distance, a beautifully crafted flying chariot, pulled by four colorful demonic birds and escorted by several powerful cultivators, flew at an extremely fast speed over Tianyi City.

Inside sat a woman wearing a veil and a white dress, dressed in extremely glamorous attire.

"What happened to Tianyi City? Why has it become like this? It seems there was a great battle not long ago," a maid muttered, frowning as she looked at Tianyi City.

The Nascent Soul expert flying ahead immediately became displeased.

"What on earth is the Supreme Response Sect up to? How could such a huge incident occur during the Southern Ridge Gathering? Isn't this a disgrace to our Nine Heavens Holy Land? I'll have to ask Old Ghost Tianyi a good question later. What exactly happened? This place is truly filled with resentment. At least several million cultivators must have died to create such resentment."

The elegant woman inside the flying carriage glanced down briefly before looking away.

"Huh? What's that? Using four phoenixes as mounts, is there some important person here?" Many cultivators in the city saw the flying carriage passing overhead.

The flying chariot was very fast, and it entered the Taishang Ganying Sect's territory in no time.

After passing through the formation, the flying chariot headed straight for the main peak, where Ancestor Tianyi and all the high-ranking members were already waiting to greet them.

After the flying carriage landed, Ancestor Tianyi quickly took the lead in bowing.

"Tianyi, leading all the elders of the Supreme Response Sect, respectfully welcomes Her Highness the Holy Maiden."

The maid beside the flying carriage quickly lifted the curtain.

"Master of Tianyi, there's no need for such formalities. I am merely representing the Holy Land to witness this grand event that takes place once every three hundred years in Nanling." The woman stepped out of the flying carriage.

This dignified woman is none other than the Holy Maiden Muyun of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

"Hey? Old Ghost Tianyi, what's going on with you? I won't ask what happened in Tianyi City for now. How did you end up like this?" The strongest elder in the guard team looked at Tianyi Ancestor with a look of utter disbelief.

This person is a powerful figure from the Nine Heavens Sacred Land, named Xu Huan, whose primordial spirit is at the ninth level.

This question left Tianyi Ancestor and the others in an awkward position.

“Well, Fellow Daoist Xu Huan, some things happened in our Southern Ridge not long ago, and they’re rather complicated. Let’s go inside and discuss them in detail,” Ancestor Tianyi replied awkwardly.

"Alright, Holy Maiden, please." Xu Huan nodded with a playful expression and finally entered the main hall of the peak.

After the group entered the main hall, they began to talk about what had happened in Nanling recently, and then explained the attack on Tianyi City by the Anti-Immortal Alliance yesterday.

"Rebellious Immortal Alliance, humph! Tianyi, you are truly incompetent. However, regarding the Demon Emperor's Tomb you mentioned, the Holy Land was quite puzzled at the time. Someone actually managed to forcibly break through the barrier of the Tang Kingdom's cultivation world and leave this realm. I didn't expect it to be a descendant of the Demon Emperor. But I am a little curious, what power could have changed your genders?" Xu Huan looked at Tianyi's appearance and wanted to laugh.

However, even Ancestor Tianyi and the others couldn't answer this question.

“We don’t know either, but it’s a minor matter. By the way, Holy Maiden, because Tianyi City was attacked yesterday, many participating cultivators were injured and need a few days to rest. We have postponed it for three days, so we can only ask the Holy Maiden to rest in the sect for three days.” Ancestor Tianyi said helplessly.

"It's alright, it's only three days, it's nothing." Saintess Mu Yun shook her head lightly, indicating that she didn't care.

After the conversation, the group from the Nine Heavens Holy Land was arranged to stay in a quiet and beautiful place. However, after arriving there, Saintess Mu Yun suddenly said something to one of her maids.

"Caixia, go and take care of what I told you before, and come back as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the maid immediately nodded and left. She departed from the Supreme Response Sect as quickly as possible and flew towards the Southern Region.

"Eh? Your Highness, is this appropriate? If Xu Huan and the others find out, they'll definitely report us," another maid said with slight concern.

But the Holy Maiden Mu Yun seemed indifferent.

"I didn't go to see them myself. I just wanted to make sure that their family was alright. So what if they find out?" Saintess Mu Yun replied coldly.

Having said that, the maid dared not say anything more.
