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

After noticing the earth shaking, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue immediately looked towards the Black Wind Mountains, but what they saw there stunned them.

The Southern King in the sky raised his hand and pointed it at the Black Wind Mountain Range. A terrifying power then spread out, enveloping the entire Black Wind Mountain Range. Under the pull of this power, the Black Wind Mountain Range was gradually forced to detach from the ground.

This shocking scene stunned all the cultivators present.

"This?" Ye Liuyun was speechless with shock as he saw the mountain range gradually rising.

This Black Wind Mountain Range is no small mountain. It was easily captured by the Southern King. Moreover, under the Southern King's power, the size of the Black Wind Mountain Range was gradually compressed, eventually becoming the size of a palm, floating in the Southern King's palm.

This is the ability of a Nirvana Realm expert. The Nirvana Realm cultivates the laws of heaven and earth, and the Southern King is a Five Elements Realm expert who has mastered the Five Elements Laws.

Black Wind Mountain is not beyond the scope of the Five Elements, so it was easily controlled by the Southern King. If the Southern King were a cultivator of the Yin-Yang Realm, he could easily dispel the Yin-Yang power of this world.

The Southern King looked at Black Wind Mountain in his hand. Originally, this mountain was nothing special, but after it emerged from the Demon Emperor's Tomb, it was imbued with the aura of the imperial way and was destined to become a treasure land in the future.

There are still many scattered treasures on it, and the story doesn't end there.

"All of you, come back here!" The Southern King shouted, raising the Black Wind Mountain, which had been shrunk countless times in size.

The next moment, those treasures that had already flown far away were pulled back from afar as if time had reversed by an irresistible force. In an instant, countless streams of light were sucked into Black Wind Mountain and sealed inside.

After doing all this, the Southern King glanced at Tianyi Ancestor, who had transformed into a woman, and Black Heart Tiger.

"Master of the Heavenly One Sect, Black Tiger Demon King, I have already taken this item and all the scattered treasures into this mountain. Rest assured, I have no interest in this item. I only did this to prevent you from escalating the war and harming mortals, and also to avoid large-scale casualties between the human and demon races."

"I will place this mountain within the Heavenly Ridge. If any of you still desire the treasures within, you may send your disciples to the Heavenly Ridge to retrieve them. I take my leave now." After saying this, the Southern King did not need to consult them at all. He directly led the Black Wind Mountain Range and numerous treasures back into the Sky Rift.

The opportunity has passed, so there's no point in fighting now; everyone present isn't stupid.

"Damn it." Those sect cultivators were furious. They were almost in their hands of many treasures, but unfortunately, the Southern King suddenly appeared.

However, the Southern King didn't go too far. He simply collected the scattered, unclaimed treasures, ignoring the ones already taken by the cultivators.

"Impressive! Aoxue, you should hurry up and cultivate so you can reach that guy's level as soon as possible. Then you can move a couple of mountains and have some fun too," Ye Liuyun said to Lin Aoxue.

Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue nearly coughed up blood.

"What? Please, you really think highly of me. Who knows when I'll reach that level? But to be honest, this kind of ability is indeed domineering and awe-inspiring," Lin Aoxue exclaimed.

The two of them knew that the matter should come to an end.

After watching the Southern King leave, Ancestor Tianyi glanced at Black Heart Tiger.

"Demon King, is there any need to continue this fight? Tian Duan Ridge is your territory. Now that this treasure mountain has been delivered to Tian Duan Ridge, your demon race is the ones who are profiting," said Ancestor Tianyi.

"Hmph! What bad luck, old man Tianyi, see you next time. All demons, return to your respective lairs." Black Heart Tiger issued an order, and then led all the demons away from the place. They came quickly and left quickly.

However, these cultivation sects are not so simple.

"Shouldn't you all leave as well?" Ancestor Tianyi looked around at the Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Southern Ridge.

Although these people were very displeased with the expression on Tianyi Patriarch's face, they still gave orders to the cultivators of their own sects to return to their sects.

After the foreign sects withdrew, only the sects within the territory of the Supreme Response Sect remained.

These sects won't leave so easily, because they've taken quite a few treasures from them, and it's time to ask them for them back.

"Except for the four intermediate sects, sixteen lower sects, and thirty-two unranked sects under my Supreme Response Sect, all other forces must hand over half of the treasures they have obtained before they can leave," Ancestor Tianyi commanded.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of those sects that were not affiliated with the Taishang Ganying Sect immediately changed, because wasn't this just working for the Taishang Ganying Sect for free?

However, faced with the oppressive atmosphere of the Supreme Response Sect, if these sects did not want to be suppressed and still wanted to survive in the territory of the Supreme Response Sect, they had no choice but to obediently hand over half of their treasures.

The same applies to independent cultivators. For example, if an independent cultivator obtains two treasures, they must hand over one. If they obtain three treasures, they can only keep the one of the highest grade and hand over the rest.

Upon hearing the order from the Supreme Response Sect, the four mid-level sects immediately dispatched their own cultivators, as well as those from their subordinate sects, to find these people and demand the money back before they could leave.

Chapter 126 Layers of Exploitation

However, these four major sects may not necessarily follow the orders of the Supreme Response Sect to demand things.

Because the treasures that the Taishang Ganying Sect valued had already been taken away by the Southern King, the remaining junk, although it contained some good items, was actually not something the Taishang Ganying Sect wanted.

However, for the four major sects, even a single spiritual artifact is a treasure, let alone a profound artifact.

Ancestor Tianyi and his fellow disciples exchanged glances and then left. Once they were gone, the four intermediate sects became bullies.

They wouldn't go too far with other medium-sized sects, just handing over half would be enough, but for these rogue cultivators and small sects, it would be disastrous.

"You, hand over all the treasures you have acquired." The cultivators from the four major sects began demanding treasures from the cultivators present.

This directly turned half into all. Of course, the half that the Taishang Ganying Sect mentioned was actually telling the four major sects, "I want half of what you have collected."

It's not as simple as it seems that half of it needs to be handed over. This "half" is only said to the four major sects, but it might confuse the cultivators of the smaller sects and independent cultivators.

"What? All of them? Didn't you say half?" The expressions of these rogue cultivators and cultivators from small factions froze.

They risked their lives to obtain the treasures, and now they're going to hand them all over to the four major sects. Who would be willing to accept that?

"What a joke! This is the territory of the Yunxia Sect, which belongs to the Yun Sect. This is the direct territory of the Taishang Ganying Sect. You've trespassed into someone else's sect's territory to steal things, and you still think you're right? Hurry up, or don't blame us for taking it by force." The cultivators from the four major sects said rudely.

What he said made sense. These small forces and rogue cultivators were just taking advantage of the chaos and filling in the gaps. If it weren't for the demon race and so many powerful sects leading the way, the Cloud Sect alone could easily suppress them.

To put it bluntly, they took what they shouldn't have taken, and the four mid-level sects will definitely make them give it back.

This is the true cultivation world. If you have no backing or power, unless you are strong enough, these overlord-level forces will not reason with you. Reasoning requires resources.

When it comes to interests, might makes right. Rules are usually imposed by superiors on subordinates. Have you ever seen someone create rules specifically to restrain themselves?

Cultivators from families and sects here ultimately chose to hand over the treasures; after all, one must be alive to receive them.

However, it's not necessarily the same for those independent cultivators. After the four mid-level sects engaged in such acts of plunder, some independent cultivators with higher cultivation levels, such as those at the Dao Palace realm, turned around and ran away. They had nothing to lose and were not afraid of those wearing shoes.

The other powerful rogue cultivators also used their unique abilities, and a large number of them fled. The four major sects had no way to completely intercept them and could only pursue them.

Looking at Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, they were also preparing to return to the Yunxia Sect. As for the demon wolf, no one knew where it had gone.

"Stop! Hand over all your treasures!" Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were about to leave the area when they were stopped by disciples of Huangxuan Sect, a subordinate force of Dao Sect.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were taken aback.

"We are disciples of the Yunxia Sect. Are you asking us for something?" Lin Aoxue asked, squinting her eyes.

But the people of Huangxuan Sect wouldn't listen to that, because their orders were that any cultivator currently in the area guarded by their Dao Sect, unless they were directly affiliated with the Dao Sect, had to be asked for treasures.

The Huangxuan Sect and the Yunxia Sect have no connection whatsoever, not even any interaction, so naturally they won't give each other any face.

“My orders are that all cultivators in this area who are not directly affiliated with the Dao Sect must hand over their power. Your Yunxia Sect is not a subordinate sect of our Dao Sect,” the two female cultivators dressed in light yellow Daoist robes said in a deep voice.

Of course, judging from their demeanor, they must have been male cultivators. This area is now 70% female cultivators and 30% male cultivators, which is quite comical.

If they can't change back, not only will the Supreme Response Sect be overrun by female cultivators, but the entire cultivation world of the Southern Ridge will be taken over by them.

"What? That's ridiculous! The place you're standing on is our Yunxia Sect's territory. You're asking for things on our territory? Have you lost your mind since you turned into a woman?" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but blurt out.

Ye Liuyun's words offended people.

"You bastard, how dare you curse me? Take them both down!" The leader of the Huangxuan Sect Spirit Pattern Realm cultivators immediately flew into a rage and ordered his fellow disciples to capture Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue's eyes gleamed as she drew her cyan-glowing, glazed weapon and unleashed a powerful sword strike. The sword blasted out a torrent of wind-attribute sword light, instantly blowing the six-person Huangxuan Sect team away.

However, Lin Aoxue did not harm them, which meant she forced them to retreat.

"This? Haha, I thought you were so powerful, you couldn't even hurt a hair on my head." The leader of the Huangxuan Sect cultivators was initially frightened by Lin Aoxue's attack.

However, after Lin Aoxue finished her attack, he found that he was completely unharmed, so he immediately started to laugh.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes, turned around, and pulled Ye Liuyun away.

"Liuyun, let's go," Lin Aoxue gestured.

"This? Stop! Who told you to leave?" The six men were about to give chase when the two tried to leave, but the next moment, their clothes were torn to shreds.

Suddenly, a chill ran through their bodies. The six of them instinctively looked down at themselves, and when they saw that all their clothes had been torn to shreds, Temen immediately let out a high-pitched scream, just like a normal woman.

"This... ah... my clothes, you bastard." The six were forced to stop their pursuit, covered their bodies with their hands, and hurriedly searched for new clothes in their storage artifacts to change into.

However, while they were changing clothes, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue had already flown away.

After all, neither male nor female cultivators would be shameless enough to chase after an enemy naked.

Ye Liuyun glanced at those people from afar, then blushed slightly and said to Lin Aoxue.

"Hey! Aoxue, you've gone bad! How did you become so wicked?"

Lin Aoxue chuckled.

"Isn't this what I learned from you? As the saying goes, 'A husband and wife should follow each other's lead, and birds of a feather flock together,'" Lin Aoxue replied earnestly.

However, as they walked, they encountered cultivators from another sect of the Dao Sect. After Ye Liuyun and his group introduced themselves, these people did not stop them.

Ultimately, the people of Huangxuan Sect only wanted the treasure; they weren't unaware of Ye Liuyun and his group's identities.

After all, this place is a mess. Even if Huang Xuanmen really manages to take Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue away, they might not be able to get revenge afterwards.

Looking at Yun Yun, she was searching for Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun. Their Yunxia Sect didn't care about the escaped cultivators. As long as Lin Aoxue could return safely, their Yunxia Sect's opportunity this time could be considered a complete success.

After all, for a sect, talent is the most important thing; treasures can never compare to promising disciples.

After searching around, she finally found Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun. Seeing that they were safe and sound, Yun Yun flew over immediately.

"That's great, I'm so glad you two little girls are alright." Yun Yun stopped in front of Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.

When Erlin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun saw a very handsome young man in white blocking their way, they were stunned for a moment. They carefully examined the man's clothes and found that he was wearing the clothes of their Yunxia Sect.

They didn't recognize the person in front of them for a long time, after all, Yun Yun as a woman and Yun Yun as a man are quite different.

"Eh? Who are you?" Lin Aoxue asked, somewhat bewildered.

Yun Yun felt a little embarrassed when she saw that her apprentice did not recognize her.

“Aoxue, it’s me, I’m your master,” said the male version of Yunyun.

Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun were both dumbfounded. The stunningly beautiful man in front of them was actually Yun Yun.

Although they knew that the female cultivator might have turned into a male cultivator, they did not expect Yun Yun to become so beautiful. They had thought that Yun Yun would turn into an old man.

"My God, Master is you? You, you've become a man, and you're so handsome!" Lin Aoxue exclaimed as she looked Yun Yun up and down.

Ye Liuyun nodded in agreement. From a male perspective, Yun Yun was the kind of beauty that appealed to both men and women, and he felt that she was even more attractive than when she was a woman.

"Ahem, stop teasing your master. Let's not talk about this anymore. I didn't expect you two to be unharmed. I'm very curious, how did you two manage to evade the power of this strange change in the world?" Yun Yun suddenly had a question.

Upon hearing Yun Yun's question, Lin Aoxue instinctively glanced at Ye Liuyun out of the corner of her eye, because she didn't know how to answer it.

"This? Eh? Sect Master, my sister and I were right at the edge of the tomb at the time. Could it be that the power of the tomb blocked the power of heaven and earth?" Ye Liuyun explained.

Yun Yun thought for a moment, then said something to Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue thoughtfully.

"Alright, but you two little ones have really kept this a secret, especially you. I already know what happened between you, but you'd better find some time to give me a reasonable explanation," Yun Yun said with a serious expression.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue did not immediately understand this sentence.

"Huh? Eh? Master, what do you mean by that? Your disciple has nothing to hide from you." Lin Aoxue was confused.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, Ye Liuyun seemed to understand quickly.

"Damn, has this woman already gone to Qixia Town to investigate me and Aoxue?" This was Ye Liuyun's first reaction, which meant that her fact that she was originally a man had probably been exposed.

If the sect insists on investigating her and Lin Aoxue's background, then it will be clear in one investigation. Lin Aoxue has no older sister, and there is no one named Ye Liuyun in the Ye family of Qixia Town.

Chapter 127 Return to Peace

Seeing Lin Aoxue's innocent expression, Yun Yun wondered if her disciple was genuinely unaware or pretending to be confused.

"What I mean is for you to figure out yourself, little girl. We should go back now." Yun Yun rolled her eyes, then picked up the two of them and flew towards the temporary camp where Yunxia Sect was located.

However, as soon as they arrived, a group of young male cultivators with long faces surrounded Ye Liuyun.

This scene is a bit too intense.

"Ah... Junior Sister Ye, you and Senior Sister Lin are finally back! But why didn't you turn into men? We female disciples didn't escape this calamity either; we all turned into men." A group of female disciples who had turned into big shots immediately ran over crying when they saw Ye Liuyun return.

As soon as Ye Liuyun saw this group of people, he knew that they must all be his senior sisters from the outer sect.

"Damn it." Ye Liuyun's expression stiffened upon seeing these people.

Honestly, from her perspective, it's acceptable for men to become women, but seeing a group of delicate women turn into grown men is, frankly, a bit hard to bear.

"Senior sisters, calm down, please calm down. I believe you will definitely be able to turn back after a while," Ye Liuyun comforted her.

However, no matter how Ye Liuyun tried to comfort them, he couldn't calm them down. They were probably going to be withdrawn for a long time, while the male disciples who had turned back into female cultivators were having a good time.

"Haha, last time, didn't you laugh at us for turning into women? This time, you've all turned into men. Feeling good now? I'm at peace with myself. All beings are equal, right?" the male disciples who had turned into women joked.
