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

The two of them didn't stop all the way; they practically ran back at full speed. Their physical abilities can only be described as freakish. If it were an ordinary person in Ye Liuyun's area, they would be lucky to run at a steady pace for half an hour, but they were running at full speed. Their physical abilities were more than several times that of an average person.

"Ah, ah, no, we, the two of us set a trap and caught a strange white fox. Just as we were about to kill it, the fox's eyes emitted a strange light, and then we fainted. When we woke up, we found that the fox was gone. We thought we might have encountered a monster, so we didn't dare to stop for a moment and ran back as fast as we could," one of them hurriedly explained.

These words made the guards even more puzzled.

“Then you must have encountered a monster. Only monsters have the ability to bewitch people. But why didn’t this monster eat you? Why did it let you come back?” the guard couldn’t help but ask.

The two men looked completely bewildered; they certainly didn't know why Ye Liuyun had let them go.

But just as they were pondering this question, they heard bursts of laughter that sounded like those of a witch.

"Hahaha... The reason I brought you back is naturally to wipe you all out in one fell swoop."

The laughter was accompanied by a chilling aura that made people feel uneasy, and then a violent, demonic wind carrying a bone-chilling cold swept towards the entrance of the valley.

The guards shuddered in fear upon sensing this power.

"You two troublemakers! You actually brought a monster back to the camp! We're doomed! Quickly go and inform the chief and the clan leader!" The guards were shocked and lined up to block the gate. The guards on the city wall also hurriedly took out their bows and arrows and aimed them in the direction from which the demonic wind was coming.

The two men who had led Ye Liuyun were so frightened that they scrambled into the gate. The human tribe was suddenly on high alert, and someone blew a loud bone flute to warn the valley. But in reality, there was no need for them to warn the valley; the strong cold wind had already rushed into it.

A cold mist wafted through the wind, and within the mist, a graceful woman walked towards the group with a smile.

"Stop! If you don't stop, we're going to fire!" The guard on the city wall, holding a bow and arrow, shouted angrily at the woman in the mist.

Judging from their reactions, these people were probably not facing monsters for the first time. So even though they showed fear, they did not panic. This was a mentality they had developed from years of being in danger.

Living in a place like the Azure Wood Domain, where monsters roam freely, requires courage; otherwise, it's impossible.

Of course, some people will ask, if it's so dangerous here today, why don't they move to other areas? How should we answer that? If they rashly went to live in other areas, they would most likely die at the hands of humans in those areas.

The reason is simple: although humans are all similar, in reality, due to differences in civilization, they are extremely hostile towards other human civilizations. Don't assume that just because they are all human, they won't be too ruthless; in many cases, fighting among one's own kind can be more brutal than fighting against an enemy.

Just look at the wars between those secular nations and you'll know that there's no mercy to be found. Massacres and exterminations are commonplace.

"Hehe...that won't do." Ye Liuyun was naturally not afraid of their threats, so he continued walking forward with a smile.

The archers on the city wall immediately fired their arrows. The bows and arrows in their hands were much thicker than ordinary bows and arrows, and the bowstrings seemed to be made of the sinews of some kind of wild animal, making them much more powerful than ordinary bows and arrows.

Ten arrows, each as thick as an adult's thumb, pierced the air in an instant. Their speed and power were terrifying. Even a demonic beast at the Wheel Sea Realm would likely find it difficult to confront such power head-on.

"Such speed?" Ye Liuyun watched as ten arrows flew towards her, but instead of immediately unleashing her power to block them, she let the ten arrows hit her.

The arrows bent upon impact with her and were easily deflected. No kidding, Ye Liuyun's fox demon body was at least at the Transformation Realm level; how could their arrows possibly harm her?

"This power... this is probably more than five times the power of a normal adult human. Although these guys don't have any magical power, their physical strength is truly extraordinary." Ye Liuyun was very surprised.

In this world, an average strong adult male can easily exert about 200 jin of strength in his hands, while these guys, especially those who shoot arrows, have a strength of at least 1,000 jin. With such exaggerated strength, even if they encountered a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator who was unarmed, they would not be without the power to fight back.

With the force of a thousand pounds, combined with this specially designed bow and arrow, the power of the arrows fired will only be more exaggerated.

"What? It was deflected?" The ten people realized that the monster that had come here today was not the kind they had encountered in the past, as they saw their arrows deflected by the opponent's flesh.

Ye Liuyun quickly emerged from the cold mist. As soon as she revealed her true appearance and smiled slightly at the crowd, these big guys instantly lost their fighting spirit, their eyes filled with a pink glow. They couldn't help but stand there drooling and grinning foolishly.

"Interesting. It seems that the humans in this Azure Wood Domain are all born with superhuman strength. They can achieve the power of cultivators with their mortal bodies. No wonder they can survive in this place. There aren't any powerful monsters in the outer area. The only monsters I've seen on the road are at the Sea of ​​Wheels realm." Ye Liuyun finally understood why there were humans living here.

After easily subduing the guards, Ye Liuyun prepared to enter the valley to take a look, but as soon as she took a step forward, she heard a roar like that of a lion coming from the valley.

"Wake up..." The voice was very loud and piercing, and it broke Ye Liuyun's seductive spell on the spot. The guards woke up from the illusion one after another.

Although Ye Liuyun didn't use even a tenth of her soul power on them, the fact that this voice could break through her power meant that the other party must have some skill.

Sure enough, a massive, exceptionally strong man, like a bull, charged towards Ye Liuyun's location from the valley, kicking up a cloud of dust. He was incredibly fast, covering the distance of over two hundred meters in the blink of an eye, and finally stopped at the entrance, blocking the gate like a guardian deity, preventing Ye Liuyun from entering.

"Who are you, daring to cause trouble at my Bull Demon Village?" After the dust settled, a super-sized man nearly four meters tall appeared in Ye Liuyun's sight.

Ye Liuyun initially mistook the other person for a monster, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed a human being with a nose and face, but possessed an extraordinary physique.

The key point is that this guy is not an ordinary person. Ye Liuyun sensed the power of Qi on him. This guy has at least reached the Acquired Realm, and he is not even in the initial stage.

"Body cultivator?" Ye Liuyun was stunned.

After the big guy appeared, the guards who had woken up immediately saluted him.

"Chief, you've finally arrived. This female monster is very powerful; we are no match for her," the guards said, their faces filled with lingering fear.

Indeed, the newcomer was the leader of this Bull Demon Stronghold, named Niu Shan. This guy had never cultivated before; he had reached this level purely through his own practice.

Sun Yuan had told Ye Liuyun that the Acquired Realm was a realm that exceptionally talented humans could reach without needing to cultivate any methods, but the highest they could reach was the peak of the Acquired Realm, which was comparable to the peak of the Sea of ​​Wheels realm among demon races.

"Okay, leave it to me." Niu Shan crossed his arms and looked down at Ye Liuyun.

Immediately, more people emerged from behind him, both men and women, and all of them were body cultivators at the Acquired Realm. There were quite a few of them, which indicated that the people in this village were problematic; they were definitely not normal humans. One person with exceptional talent could be understandable, but a whole group of people with exceptional talent was quite strange.

Ye Liuyun was very curious, and she developed a strong interest in this village, eager to know why the people of this village were so powerful.

"Hehe, you are quite different from the humans I usually see," Ye Liuyun said with a playful expression.

This group of people definitely couldn't discern Ye Liuyun's cultivation level, so they were acting like naive newborn calves unafraid of tigers. They probably had never encountered a demon cultivator of Ye Liuyun's level before, and they couldn't even be sure whether Ye Liuyun was human or demon.

"Are you a monster?" Niu Shan asked, looking at Ye Liuyun's attire and the nine fluffy tails behind him.

Ye Liuyun was amused by his words.

"Hehe, you can't even tell if I'm human or a monster, yet you dare to stand in front of me so arrogantly. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Niu Shan was taken aback. Just as she was about to say something, a rather old voice came from behind her.

"Retreat quickly, this woman is a demon cultivator who has reached the Dao Palace level or above."

Upon hearing this, Niu Shan and his men, who had been quite arrogant, suddenly seemed to have a knot loosened. Niu Shan and his men retreated back to the village at lightning speed, closed the village gate, and then went to the wooden city wall, where they all took out their bows and crossbows and aimed them at Ye Liuyun.

The sudden retreat of these guys confused Ye Liuyun. She didn't react for a long time. When she saw the gate close and Niu Shan appear on the city wall, she couldn't help but mutter something.

"Isn't this a bit too childish?" Ye Liuyun said, both amused and exasperated.

Niu Shan and the others were no longer arrogant as before; they all showed expressions of panic and fear.

"Ladies, I wonder what my Bull Demon Village has done to offend you that you want to attack us?" A burly old man appeared beside Niu Shan, holding a cane.

It seems that the old man must have recognized Ye Liuyun's identity and then reminded him.

Ye Liuyun didn't come here to kill people; she wasn't that bored. She was just driven by curiosity. However, she didn't expect to find that these humans were different from others, which was an unexpected bonus.

"Demon Immortal? Heh, old man, have you seen any other demon cultivators besides me?" Ye Liuyun asked calmly.

This old man is the patriarch of the Bull Demon Village. The humans in the Green Wood Domain mostly live in tribes. The Bull Demon Village has less than a thousand people. Niu Shan is their leader, and this old man is the patriarch of the Bull Demon Village clan, possessing the greatest power in the village.

"Haha, when I was young, I went deep into the Green Wood Domain and accidentally saw other demon cultivators, so I can barely recognize the fairy's identity. Fairy, I wonder what grudge you have with our Bull Demon Village? Can you tell me? Even if we are going to fight, I should at least know why, right?" The Bull Demon Village chief asked, pretending to be calm.

When Ye Liuyun saw the old man ask this question, she coughed a few times to clear her throat.

"Ahem, the people from your Bull Demon Village set a trap and captured me, and they even wanted to kill me. Tell me, is there a problem with me coming here to cause trouble?" Ye Liuyun retorted.

These words startled everyone in the Bull Demon Village.

The old man immediately turned around and glared at the two troublemakers.

"Grandpa Chief, we didn't know that fox was this girl. Besides, how could such a powerful girl be caught by our ordinary trap?" The two looked completely innocent.

Their traps can only catch wild boars or ordinary wild animals at most; how could they possibly catch monsters?

Ye Liuyun felt embarrassed upon hearing this. It was indeed her fault; she had been too relaxed at the time and hadn't considered that there were primitive inhabitants in the Azure Wood Domain. Since few humans ventured into this godforsaken place, Ye Liuyun hadn't found much useful information and could be said to know almost nothing about the area.

The clan chief was helpless.

"Since it was the two of you who caused this trouble, then you two will be the ones to resolve the crisis for the village." Without much thought, the chief of the Bull Demon Village decisively looked at Bull Mountain.

Upon hearing this, Niu Shan turned around without saying a word, grabbed the two men, and threw them off the city wall.

"No! Ouch!" The two were thrown in front of Ye Liuyun, and it took them a while to get up.

This stunned Ye Liuyun again. She hadn't expected the people of Niu Mo Village to be so decisive, abandoning their clansmen without hesitation. The implication was clear: they were willing to trade the lives of these two people for the peace of Niu Mo Village.

After realizing what was happening, the two men knelt down before Ye Liuyun without saying a word. They understood that the village was going to risk their lives to repel the enemy.

"Fairy Sister, we were wrong. Please forgive our ignorance and spare our lives," the two kowtowed to Ye Liuyun, begging for mercy.

To be honest, Ye Liuyun could understand what was happening, but she wasn't happy. She had only wanted to have some fun and had no intention of doing anything to them, but now she was inexplicably angry.

This unhappiness stems mainly from their heartless abandonment of their people, actively sending them to the enemy. This is understandable, but unacceptable; at least Ye Liuyun himself would never do such a thing.

"Hehe! But what if I just don't want to let you go?" Ye Liuyun ignored the two men and turned his gaze back to the old man.

The old man's expression immediately turned cold and stern when he heard Ye Liuyun say those words.

"If that's the case, then we have no choice but to fight you to the death," the old man said in a deep voice.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes and then used a little of his soul power. A surge of soul power spread forward like a wave. Wherever the soul power reached, everyone present and everyone in the valley simultaneously lost their focus.

This time, no one could break free. Ye Liuyun had used 10% of his soul power, enough to make them unable to extricate themselves.

After subduing all these guys, Ye Liuyun finally took flight, satisfied, and flew into the valley, leaving behind a message.

"Summon the key figures of your village to come to the valley to see me."

As soon as these words were spoken, Niu Shan, the clan chief, and some important figures in the mountain stronghold all nodded in agreement, and then returned to the valley expressionlessly.

Upon entering the valley, Ye Liuyun found that the place was relatively peaceful and prosperous. However, seeing the slaughtered wild animals and the large quantities of animal pelts and bones inexplicably ignited a fire within him.

However, Ye Liuyun knew very well that this dislike was not something he had actively developed, but rather something that arose from the instincts of the demon race's physical body.

Reason told her that all of this was normal, but instinct gave her an impulse to wipe out all the humans in the valley.

Ye Liuyun quickly spotted a large wooden pavilion, which must be where the village chief lived. Ye Liuyun flew inside and landed on the chief's throne, which was cushioned with bear skin and was quite comfortable.

As for Niu Shan and those important figures, they soon arrived at this place as well.

After they all arrived, Ye Liuyun released them from their control.

"Alright, answer whatever I ask. If there's even a single lie, then your village has no reason to exist," Ye Liuyun said.

As soon as she spoke, all of them regained their freedom.

After regaining their freedom, they looked at Ye Liuyun before them, their faces turning deathly pale. Although they had been controlled, it didn't mean they were without their own thoughts. The fact that she had subdued their entire village of humans so easily meant that the female demon before them was someone they couldn't possibly fight.

"Fairy, we Bull Demon Village were blind to your true nature. Please don't hold it against us mortals. Please tell me everything I know." The old man had completely lost his confidence.

They all knelt down.

"Hey, hey, hey... Don't kneel down. I don't like people kneeling before me. I'm asking you, who exactly are you people? You can't be ordinary people, right? Don't tell me you're ordinary people. Ordinary people in the outside world aren't as outrageous as you." Ye Liuyun asked.

The chief of the Bull Demon Village looked at Bull Mountain, then quickly stood up and began to explain to Ye Liuyun the origins of the original inhabitants of the Green Wood Domain.

Chapter 750 Subduing the Bull Demon Stronghold (5000 words)

The humans of the Azure Wood Domain, well, they still retain the characteristics of the ancient times; to put it more bluntly, they are relatively primitive humans.

As previously mentioned, the human development process in this world was entirely dependent on the demon race for survival in ancient times. At the same time, human blood had the effect of neutralizing demon blood. In order to obtain a better survival, some humans extensively intermarried with demon cultivators, resulting in the human bloodline being mixed with demon blood.

This led to the creation of new human races with vastly different talents through the interbreeding of pure-blooded humans and cultivators from various demon races; these were known as hybrids.

However, because human bloodlines are highly adaptable, any demon bloodline only needs to be filtered through three generations of humans before it is completely attracted to the bodies of future generations of humans.

This is why humans initially practiced the methods of the demon race. It was because they had a portion of demon blood in their bodies, which allowed them to learn the methods of the demon race and gradually rise to power.

The most typical example is some cultivators in later generations who have special physiques. For example, Qin Hong's ancestors should belong to the group of humans who relied on the Phoenix Clan, so she carries the bloodline of the Phoenix in her body. To fully awaken the Phoenix power in her body, she needs real Phoenix blood.

The Bull Demon Clan is a hybrid race with a relatively strong demon bloodline. Due to their customs, their bloodline has not been properly diluted or neutralized. They have always chosen to unite internally, with humans possessing demon blood only mating with other humans who also possess demon blood, rather than mating with pure-blooded humans to dilute the demon power within them.

Therefore, they are born with extraordinary physiques. Like the demon race, even without cultivation methods, they can improve their strength by devouring flesh and blood to strengthen their bodies. However, since they are not demons, their cultivation is limited, and they cannot obtain inheritance from their bloodline like the demon race.

Humanity at that time could be said to have two groups: pure-blooded humans and mixed-blooded humans. The humans born from pure-blooded humans and mixed-blooded humans belong to a third type of human, which is the majority of humans in the current world.

The third type of human-demon bloodline is latent; it may awaken or it may not, and it does not affect normal survival. Normally, they are no different from pure-blooded humans. At the end of the Primordial Era, the third generation of humans rose up under the guidance of the Ancestor of Humanity, while mixed-blood humans, because they possess too obvious demon bloodline, began to be rejected by the third generation of humans.

Their living space was gradually squeezed, especially after the demon race was defeated by the human race in the great war. They were left behind on the Burial God Star by the demon race and became a group rejected by both races.

Of course, after millions of years, the number of this race has become very small. It is estimated that there are not even a million people on the entire planet of Burial Gods. They live scattered throughout the planet. Some groups have almost disappeared and have been completely integrated into the third generation of humans. No one thinks they are different anymore. Instead, they are considered to be exceptionally talented.

However, there is also a group that has maintained a relatively complete ethnic group, far removed from human civilization, and still lives a life from the ancient times. The humans of the Green Wood Domain are one such group.

The humans of Bull Demon Village were practically telling Ye Liuyun stories, because their lineage was passed down from their ancestors, and they didn't know whether it was true or not.

After listening to the explanation from the chief of the Bull Demon Village, Ye Liuyun basically understood what was going on.

"So that's how it is? No wonder they all seemed like humanoid beasts. If they were scattered to other cultivation areas, they would definitely be carefully nurtured by cultivation sects as exceptionally talented humans. Rarity makes things valuable, right? But if an entire group of people are like this, they will only be seen as monsters. No wonder they can only survive in such harsh environments." Ye Liuyun murmured after listening to their explanation.

Ye Liuyun had an idea. She wanted to absorb them all into the Immortal Realm of Longevity because if she taught them the complete body refining technique, she could definitely cultivate a group of powerful body cultivators. The ancient body refining method was originally designed for mixed-blood humans like those from the Bull Demon Village. They were the most suitable human race for this technique.

"Alright, do you know how many humans like you are left in the Azure Wood Domain?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

The chieftain of the Bull Demon Village shook his head.

"I don't know. This Green Wood Domain is fraught with danger. The other tribes we know of in total number should be less than nine, but there are definitely more than that in the Green Wood Domain." The chief of the Bull Demon Village shook his head.
