Luo Xian was forced into an encirclement and retreated to Wang Xiaoyin's side. He took a few quick breaths to recover his strength. He was extremely angry. He, a super expert at the mid-level of the Sun rank, had first been severely beaten by Luo Biting, who was of the same level, and then further injured by several low-ranking ninjas from the Wild Goblin Kingdom. Where was his face now? However, he knew very well that now was not the time to worry about face; escaping was the most important thing.
"Hey, old man, how did you get beaten up like a pig's head? Didn't you say you could fly?" Wang Xiaoyin quietly waited for Xingzi to recover. He knew his own martial arts level better than anyone. He might be able to escape, but with a beautiful captive, he could only rely on Xingzi to recover.
"Hmph, kid, if I still had the power to fly, I would have annihilated these bastards long ago! That old tortoise's methods are truly ruthless; the icy mist he spewed injured my meridians. Sigh, what bad luck!" Adhering to the principle that enemies are friends, Luo Xian's attitude towards Wang Xiaoyin was surprisingly good. If the Blood God Sect members saw this, they would definitely glare in disbelief.
"How about the Deer Yang Pill? It'll be good for the cold poison in your body!" Wang Xiaoyin glanced at the old man and asked casually.
Luo Xian became cautious, scrutinizing Wang Xiaoyin carefully before finally asking, "What's your purpose?"
"**, take it or leave it! I'm only ignoring you because we're all working together to deal with those bastards from the Wild Hook Kingdom! You think the Deer Yang Pill is cheap? It's tens of thousands of times more expensive than Viagra! It not only heals internal injuries and resists cold poison, but it also has aphrodisiac effects. Few people in the Coral Kingdom have the real thing, and what I have happens to be the real deal!" Wang Xiaoyin arrogantly raised his head, wanting to hurl insults at him, but then remembered that Luo Xian was the Grand Elder of the Blood God Sect and a Sun-level expert. Most importantly, they were currently fighting together, so he took out a small brown pill, emitting a faint, alluring fragrance that tempted Luo Xian's nose.
"Thank you, young brother!" Luo Xian could tell from the sniff that this was genuine. As a master alchemist himself, he naturally knew the effects of the Deer Sun Pill. Prioritizing healing and survival, he ignored Wang Xiaoyin's arrogant tone, humbly accepted the medicine, and swallowed it.
Outside, the people of the Wild Gou Kingdom chattered amongst themselves, seemingly discussing whether to attack. Koga Kiju, clutching his chest, coughed occasionally, glaring fiercely at Luo Xian. He was handsome, possessing the features of a Wild Gou Kingdom beauty, but his eyes also held the lewdness characteristic of the people. His strong body appeared tired, causing him to hunch over, making him seem even shorter.
"We must kill them! No matter the cost, the people of our great Wild Gou Kingdom will not give up! My ninja clan is among the elite! Can't we even defeat an old man from the Coral Kingdom?" Koga Kiju roared angrily.
The colonel, experienced in combat, watched as the people inside took medicine to recover their strength and hurriedly said, "Since the young master has made his decision, let's act quickly. Don't wait until they recover; it will be much harder to strike then!"
"But is it necessary? Is it necessary to pay such a high price? We were just curious, testing this glowing old man, who would have thought he was so powerful! Young master, to avoid even greater losses, I should leave. We have a more important mission here!" one of the elders advised. He was a local ninja protecting Koga Oni-Ku.
"Shizuko has been captured, and Sachiko, who escaped from our ninja clan five years ago, has also been rescued. We can't afford to give up!" another elder ninja said.
"They're just two sex slaves; whether they live or die doesn't threaten the ninja clan's interests. But that person who emits golden light has incredibly high martial arts skills; he must have a powerful force behind him. Let's forget about it. Even if we kill him, if his forces find out, it will be difficult to handle. The clan elders will blame us!" yet another local ninja elder said.
While he continued his discussions, Sachiko was slowly recovering. She practiced an ancient martial art from the Coral Kingdom, and with her astonishing talent, she combined her intermediate-level ninjutsu with this ancient martial art, creating a unique new style. It had the foundation of the Coral Kingdom's profound internal strength, as well as the insidious and unpredictable nature of ninjutsu.
According to the calculations of the Nogama Ninja Clan, Sachiko's martial arts were already at the Heavenly Ninja level, and according to the Coral Kingdom's martial arts calculations, she was at the upper Moon level. However, the invisibility technique practiced by the Blue Demons was very peculiar; only those possessed by the Tanuki Snake could learn it, and it also had an invisibility effect in battle. This confused the mark of the Heavenly Ninja—because the Nogama Ninja Clan stipulated that anyone who could fight while invisible was a Heavenly Ninja.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Ito Shizuko quietly crawled away, hoping to escape back to Koga Oni-Ku's side. Who knew that as soon as she turned around, before she could take two steps, Sachiko caught her and slapped her plump buttocks twice, cursing without any emotion, "What a plump butt! My master loves beauties like this the most. Don't worry, sister, I'll take good care of you. You can spend the rest of your life peacefully by my side! You slut!"
"Oni-kun, save me!" Ito Shizuko felt her buttocks swollen from her sister's slaps, tears streaming down her face from the pain. But because her martial arts were sealed, how could she escape from Sachiko, who had fully recovered her martial arts? She struggled a couple of times, but was then dragged by her long, beautiful legs and thrown at Wang Xiaoyin's feet.
"Master, I've recovered! I drank the sleeping potion she gave me, and I almost couldn't go back. Luckily, I met you, Master, otherwise Sachiko would never have the face to see you again!" Sachiko, her martial arts fully restored, was full of confidence. She glared at the grumbling ninja outside and kicked Shizuko's buttocks twice more, still not satisfied.
"Tsk tsk, she's your own sister. Didn't you always want to persuade her properly? How could you treat her like this?" Wang Xiaoyin chuckled as he scanned Jingzi's body. She was only wearing a thin white Japanese samurai outfit, as if she had dressed in a hurry. She hadn't even tied her belt, let alone put on any underwear. Her voluptuous breasts were clearly visible, and even the bright red nipples were clearly visible.
Sachiko sensed Wang Xiaoyin's mocking tone; he didn't seem concerned about her sister's fate, but rather seemed to crave the scene of her being abused. So, she said ingratiatingly, "Master, although she is my sister, she no longer deserves to be one. She not only deceived me but has also been bewitched by other men. Only you can help her regain her senses. I've heard that such women crave men; just a touch and they'll moan incessantly."
As she spoke, Sachiko reached into Shizuko's shirt, revealing a bare bottom. She could easily grab Shizuko's plump breasts and used ruthless seduction techniques to make her moan and groan. The ninja outside could be heard breathing heavily, swallowing hard, his erection rising repeatedly, staring like a hungry wolf at the two women surrounded, his gaze lingering on the struggling, groaning Shizuko.
Wang Xiaoyin had witnessed Sachiko's methods; she had personally trained hundreds of blue demons. No woman could resist such seduction techniques; it would be strange if she didn't moan. Sachiko wasn't satisfied yet, continuing her seductive explanation as if she were addressing the men present. In reality, she was only watching Wang Xiaoyin's reaction, obsequiously following his gaze as she slipped her nimble hand between Jingzi's thighs.
"A woman who climaxes with just a couple of touches must desperately crave a man's penetration. Only my master can satisfy such a woman. Those men from that 'wild country' are all half-impotent. How could they satisfy you, sister?" Sachiko peeked at Wang Xiaoyin with intense excitement. To bring a woman to orgasm with her hands was a remarkable skill, something her master seemed to greatly admire! She thought gleefully, her pent-up resentment at being captured vanquished gone.
"Hahahaha, how interesting!" Luo Xian stood up from the ground, his injuries mostly healed, and most importantly, the cold poison in his body had been cleared. In high spirits, he listened to Xingzi's increasingly blatant teasing and laughed loudly, "The men of Yegou Kingdom are all turtles! Watching their women being played with, not a single one of them sticks their neck out, just staring wide-eyed at her performance. It's fucking hilarious!"
"Hey, old man, are you feeling lustful? It's okay, don't be shy. You can play with this slut for a few days. You can play with her now too. I'll help you fend off the enemies and play with their women to death right in front of them." Wang Xiaoyin stared at Luo Xian's crotch with a wicked smile, seemingly without any reaction. He dared to say this because he wasn't generous enough to give up his prey to someone else.
"Ah, I'm getting old! If I were twenty years younger, I might have pounced on her and stripped her naked long ago, not letting her whine and whimper on the ground for so long. Kid, your woman has some skills, her methods for dealing with women are very sophisticated, even better than mine back then. Her current level is also better than my fourth brother's. I'll introduce you to her sometime!" Old Luo sighed for a long time, then started boasting again. The fourth brother he mentioned was Yan Ji, the fourth elder of the Blood God Sect.
"Okay, I'll definitely ask your fourth brother for advice sometime." Wang Xiaoyin knew about the Blood God Sect, most of which was plundered from the mind of a certain Blood God Envoy. He knew that the fourth elder, Yan Ji, was fond of lewdness, quite beautiful, and very skilled in martial arts.
"I am Luo Xian, the first elder of the Blood God Sect. Have you heard of my name?" Luo Xian stared into Wang Xiaoyin's eyes, trying to find some clue, but Wang Xiaoyin's expression remained unchanged, as if he had heard the name of an ordinary cat or dog, without the slightest surprise.
"Tsk tsk, old man, do you think you're famous? To put it simply, I've never heard of you. I do know the Blood God Cult, though. They're a very powerful organization, making the Ye family and the Xuanwu Alliance hide and complain endlessly. I was just watching you and the old tortoise fight at Mirror Lake Garden. It was quite a spectacle, flying around like that. I'm so envious! When will I reach the Sun level and be able to fly around like that?" Wang Xiaoyin spouted a mix of truth and lies, feeling extremely pleased with himself after seeing that Luo Xian believed him, momentarily forgetting where he was.
"Haha, it's good that you've heard of the Blood God Cult! Kid, I owe you a lot for your Deer Yang Pill today. If you encounter any difficulties in the Coral Kingdom in the future, just leave a message at the Blood God Cult branch, and I, Luo Xian, will do my best to help you." Luo Xian was in high spirits. Although this mission hadn't been completed smoothly, and nearly a hundred Blood God Generals had been killed or wounded, the cult had many ordinary members. With special methods, creating a large number of experts was easy. A hundred deaths or injuries were no big deal; as long as he survived, that was enough.
Those outside the encirclement were discussing, while two inside chatted idly. The twenty-odd high-ranking ninjas posing for photos were suffering terribly, gripping their swords tightly, motionless, their arms aching so much they could barely lift them. Even worse off was Ito Shizuko. One orgasm wasn't enough; Sachiko had become addicted, inserting two fingers and refusing to pull them out. Shizuko struggled for a while, but lacked strength, moaning listlessly, tears occasionally streaming down her face. She couldn't quite describe her feelings; the man she loved was outside, yet he made no move to protect her, seemingly indifferent to her safety.
"Old man, I find you pleasing to the eye, much more endearing than those so-called masters from prestigious schools! Here, I'll give you another 'Tiger Roar Pill' to temporarily shield your injuries, though the aftereffects will be a little stronger. Protect me later; my martial arts are too weak. Dying isn't a big deal, but if I die at the hands of those bastards from the Wild Goose Kingdom, I'll have no face to face my ancestors in the afterlife." Wang Xiaoyin conjured a golden pill in his palm like magic, emitting a strong herbal scent.
Luo Xian glanced at the Tiger Roar Pill, then curiously scrutinized Wang Xiaoyin for a while before smiling gently, "You have a phantom beast space? What's your beast spirit?"
"A snake, a big, stupid snake. It gets dizzy at the sight of beautiful women, constantly trying to lure me into groups of women. I can't live without women every night, look how skinny I've become! Luckily, I'm rich and willing to take good care of myself, otherwise I'd be dried meat by now!" Wang Xiaoyin grinned exaggeratedly, comparing his slender figure, speaking with great conviction, as if the raccoon snake inside him forced him to sell himself frequently. Wang Xiaoyin acted completely innocent, like a rich second-generation heir. He saw that the old man Luo Xian wasn't bad, and seemed rather dim-witted, so he wanted to establish some connection with the Blood God Sect. At least he'd have an ally when dealing with the Ye family.
Luo Xian took the pill, carefully smelled it, nodded approvingly, and smiled, "This medicine is very authentic, and the refining method is quite perfect. Who made it for you?"
"It was one of my little girls. She's quite talented, I don't know where she learned it, but she's always holed up in the alchemy room. She doesn't use the modern machines, she insists on using those antique alchemy cauldrons. Just buying those old antiques cost me tens of millions. Sigh, there's really no way to deal with a woman like that. If it weren't for her looks, I would have kicked her out of the house long ago." Wang Xiaoyin shook his head and sighed, looking very helpless.
Xingzi secretly chuckled, thinking that if Lan Ba heard this, he would definitely make a scene. It was Wang Xiaoyin who forced Lan Ba to refine the pills in the first place, and now he's blaming others. And those antique cauldrons—Wang Xiaoyin personally led a team to steal them from more than a dozen history museums, where did they cost a single penny!
"Sigh, you brat, you don't know how lucky you are! If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!" Luo Xian was insanely jealous. He didn't appreciate having such a skilled alchemist and even tried to kick her out every day. Old Man Luo was feeling dizzy today, thinking how wonderful it would be to have such a skilled alchemist as an apprentice, lest some of his invented pills be lost. He couldn't help but ask, "Where is your alchemy girl? How old is she today?"
"Her? She's almost twenty. Hmm, I think she's still studying at the Thousand Stone Herbalism Academy. She should graduate this year, right? She's always so absent-minded, she goes crazy when she sees a new herb, and she forgets to eat when she's making a new pill. I, as her master, have to take care of her all day long. It's such a hassle!" Wang Xiaoyin recalled painfully. Actually, he was laughing hysterically inside. He said this mainly to pique Luo Xian's interest. He had heard that Luo Xian had invented several strange pills, as well as the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill, a miraculous medicine for martial arts advancement, which was famous in the martial arts world.
"Ah? A genius! A genius!" Old Master Luo muttered, marveling at the Tiger Roar Pill in his hand. He was already eager to meet this alchemy prodigy. "I must take her as my apprentice!"
"What pills has she invented?" Luo Xian couldn't help but ask again.
"Hmm, it seems like quite a few, I can't remember. Let me check, I have a few that I need urgently on me, uh... this is a potent aphrodisiac, this is the Nine-Section Intestine-Breaking Powder, this is the Zombie Pill... Hmm, these are all her inventions. It seems that only the Zombie Pill is something you can try, it doesn't have any major side effects. After taking it, you will have immense strength, your whole body will be as stiff as stone, and of course, a certain part of a man's body will also become unusually hard and large, giving women endless pleasure and making them scream all night long." Wang Xiaoyin took out bottles of pills from the Beast Illusion Space and explained them to Luo Xian. Many of her novel and ingenious ideas made Luo Xian feel inferior, deepening his desire to meet Lan Ba.
Luo Xian stared wide-eyed at the bottles of strange medicines he conjured, and couldn't help but say, "Kid, I'll give you a phone number. If your little girl comes back, give me a call. I want to see her in person. If she agrees, I want to take her as my apprentice!"
"Ah? This? Tsk tsk, this is difficult! I've been racking my brains trying to turn her into a normal woman. If she follows you to learn alchemy, she'll probably spend her whole life in the alchemy room. What am I, a grown man, supposed to do? Am I supposed to spend my days like these bastards, rubbing against dolls to vent my lust?" Wang Xiaoyin was extremely wary of Luo Xian, as if afraid that his beloved lady would be tricked away by him if he wasn't careful.
"Hey, hey, don't refuse so quickly, kid. Think about it some more! In the martial world, whether it's the underworld or the legitimate world, thousands of alchemy masters have begged me to be their apprentice, but I haven't agreed to any of them. It's a blessing that I've finally taken a liking to your little girl. How about it? If you take her as your apprentice, you'll be rich. Several spiritual medicines I've researched, such as the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill, the Seven Skills Rejuvenating Pill, the Nine Revolutions Life-Extending Pill... etc., are all priceless treasures. If I teach her all these top-secret techniques, think of how much money I can make for you. Think about it some more!" Luo Xian stared hopefully into Wang Xiaoyin's eyes, hoping he would be merciful and let that alchemy prodigy come to his side to learn his skills.
"You're from the Blood God Cult, the leader of a cult! It's fine if I know you, those bastards from reputable sects won't dare touch me, but if she becomes your disciple, she'll definitely be hunted down, and might even implicate me. I won't do such a losing deal!" Seeing Luo Xian about to explode, Wang Xiaoyin frowned and said, "Any ready-made benefits for me?" (

: 9-22 4:51:12, Word Count: 7196)

Luo Xian had suffered consecutive setbacks today, and his mind was a bit foggy. In his anxiety, hearing Wang Xiaoyin want some benefits, he pointed at Xingzi, who was still playing with women, and said to him, "This woman's martial arts have reached the upper level of the Moon rank. I'll give her a Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill to help her reach the lower level of the Sun rank and protect your safety. How about that? Now you have no reason to object, right?"
"Such a good medicine? One pill and you can advance a level? If you take ten, wouldn't you be invincible? Then why are you still getting beaten up and crawling around everywhere?" Wang Xiaoyin was so happy he wanted to bang his head against the wall, but his face showed disdain.
Wang Xiaoyin's contemptuous expression drove Luo Xian crazy, but he didn't have a beast-summoning space and didn't have the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill on him, otherwise he would have demonstrated the medicine's effects to him on the spot. Luo Xian said angrily, "Kid, you won't admit you're stupid. This medicine is best taken when you're at the Moon level, just before entering the Sun level, because that's the hardest stage to advance in martial arts. Of course, you can take it at any other time and still advance one level. However, the effect will be greatly reduced when you take it again, not as noticeable as the first time. So, a person can only use one Spirit Gathering Pill in their lifetime. Understand?"
"Oh! I understand! I thought it was like candy, something I could eat whenever I wanted! Since it has such benefits, let's wait for Lan Ba to come back. If she agrees, let her find you. If she doesn't agree, even if you give me a thousand Five Elements Spirit Gathering Pills, it won't work. She's stubborn! Sigh, who told her to be so unlikable? If she were half as understanding as my precious Xingzi, I wouldn't be willing to sell her to you as a disciple!" Wang Xiaoyin looked at Xingzi's beautiful back, lecherously drooling.
"You brat, I'm taking on disciples, not kidnapping people!" Luo Xian jumped up and down in anger, completely unaware that he had fallen into Wang Xiaoyin's trap.
Sachiko was nearly dying of laughter, but she couldn't laugh for her master's grand scheme of swindling medicine. So she vigorously probed Shizuko's crotch, and only after hearing her piercing scream did she triumphantly spread her fingers to ease the stimulation, allowing Shizuko to climax again in front of the men and embarrass herself. Moreover, Sachiko knew that her master would definitely reward her with the Spirit Gathering Pill she had tricked; the thought of immediately reaching the Sun Rank made her tremble slightly with excitement, her fingers trembling as they touched Shizuko's body, causing Shizuko to moan and shudder again, weakly welcoming the approaching climax. The
ninjas outside were very cooperative; only after Wang Xiaoyin finished negotiating the deal did they agree that silencing her was the safest option. They then ordered more than twenty high-ranking ninjas to rush towards them. No one cared about Shizuko's life or death; in their eyes, she was just a high-ranking sex slave, a woman with some looks—many women like her existed on Fusang Island.
Luo Xian swallowed the Tiger Roar Pill; the fiery medicinal power spread throughout his body, causing him to let out a long, comfortable roar. The surge of pleasure filling his entire body restored his boundless confidence, and he rushed towards the enemy first. Golden shards pierced the hearts of three high-ranking ninjas, this full-force technique ensuring their utter demise.
"You scum from the Wild Goblin Kingdom, come at me! Let's see how I deal with you!" Luo Xian roared, like a rutting gorilla, practically pounding his chest to prove his strength.
"Golden Light Fills the Sky!" Luo Xian shouted, unleashing a high-level technique. An oval-shaped golden shield suddenly shot out countless fine spikes, like porcupines, instantly ending the lives of over a dozen high-ranking ninjas. With his injuries concealed and his martial arts fully restored, Luo Xian became a life-reaping machine, unleashing attacks with both hands. The once arrogant ninjas were now like pitiful sheep, bullied by Lao Wei's tiger, unable to lift their heads.
Wang Xiaoyin didn't need to lift a finger; he could simply watch Ito Shizuko, even sitting beside her and kneading her soft breasts. Sachiko had snatched a long ninja sword to protect him, enveloping him in a water-based shield—a task that took some effort, but she was very happy.
"Sachiko, what do you think these high-ranking ninjas are for?" Wang Xiaoyin asked Sachiko lazily, rubbing her still-swelling, hot breasts and gently pinching her hard nipples.
"To be killed for our amusement! They're too weak anyway, there's no point in keeping them alive! Hmph, once I reach the upper level of the Sun Rank, I'll definitely go to Fusang Island for a visit. Oh, right, I heard there are a few beautiful young ladies in ninja clans. Someday when I have time, I'll send them to my master's bed and train them into the lowest-ranking, most lewd sex slaves." Sachiko lightly sliced open the belly of a high-ranking ninja with her ninja sword, looked at the spilled entrails, and disgustedly unleashed a jet of water, sending him flying several feet away, casually provoking the other ninjas.
This was the first time Jingzi had witnessed her sister's actions. Temporarily forgetting that Wang Xiaoyin was still fondling her ample breasts, her beautiful eyes widened as she watched her sister's cruel methods. Although her skin burned, a chilling coldness rose from the depths of her heart, slowly spreading throughout her body. She couldn't help but shiver, huddled in Wang Xiaoyin's arms, trembling. She knew that while the man holding her could provide physical warmth, he was far more wicked than Xingzi. Otherwise, how could he have trained Xingzi to be the person she was today!
The colonel howled, a layer of black mist clinging to his body, as he charged towards Xingzi. Wang Xiaoyin could no longer afford to be idle; feeling slightly pressured, he wielded his three-inch dagger, using water-based magic to take several lives. Mi Xiang and Qiao Qiao also came to help, but their martial arts were poor; they could only hold off two high-level ninjas, unable to win for the time being.
"Idiots, why aren't you leaving?" Seeing them help, Wang Xiaoyin not only didn't encourage them, but instead cursed them. The two girls cried in grievance. In their rage, the two women became extremely ruthless, killing two ninjas before stopping.
"We're not leaving!" the two girls retorted while catching their breath.
"Damn it! Old Man Luo, come quick, help us..." Wang Xiaoyin pulled the two girls into a protective circle, looking at the hundreds of masked ninjas who had suddenly appeared. He cursed the cunning bastards of the Wild Nation, who had actually sent another group of experts to silence them while they were resting. He thought the people of the Wild Nation were all idiots.
Hearing Wang Xiaoyin's strange shout, Xingzi panicked, firing several water arrows to repel the colonel, then leaping to his side, anxiously asking, "Master, there are too many of them, what should we do?"
"Run, what else can we do! But we have too many burdens, and now two silly girls have come. We might not be able to take the spoils with us." Wang Xiaoyin shrugged, looking at the two ashamed beauties, shaking his head speechlessly.
"No, I must take the spoils of war! I must take her with me!" Sachiko was unusually stubborn, and Wang Xiaoyin smiled without arguing.
"Sachiko, I advise you to surrender. You can't escape. Against over a hundred ninjas skilled in tracking and ambushing, you have no chance. Listen to your sister this once, and I promise Guijiu-kun will forgive you..." Before Shizuko could finish, Sachiko slapped her across the face, interrupting her persuasion.
"Tsk tsk, idiot!" Wang Xiaoyin curled her lip, suddenly using her invisibility skill to pull Mi Xiang and Qiao Qiao into the void, disappearing from the chaotic battlefield.
Shizuko Ito cried out in surprise, staring incredulously at the three vanished figures. Shaking her head, she muttered to herself, "Impossible! How could he know the Heavenly Ninja's ultimate technique and even manage to become invisible while carrying two people? It's unbelievable! He's even more powerful than Oni-kun..."
"Hmph!" Sachiko sneered triumphantly, waving her hand and disappearing as well. She picked up her sister from the ground and said, "Master has many more amazing skills. Your Oni-kun will never catch up!"
"Boom! Boom!" Several smoke bombs rose into the air. The high-ranking ninjas who had arrived also frantically tried to become invisible using the specially made smoke bombs, but their attempts were riddled with flaws. To the masters of invisibility, it made no difference whether they were invisible or not.
"Baka! Who told you to use smoke bombs? A bunch of idiots!" Oni-kun Koga cursed through the gray smoke. In this situation where the enemy outnumbered them, using these smoke bombs was clearly creating an opportunity for the enemy to escape. Unfortunately, not everyone was as clever as the young ninja lord. By the time the high-ranking ninjas realized what was happening, the enemy they had painstakingly besieged had already escaped without a trace.
Luo Xian sat in the car Wang Xiaoyin had stolen, laughing heartily. Although the attack on the Xuanwu Alliance tonight had failed, he had still killed seventy or eighty of their men. Besides being injured, he had also been inexplicably attacked by ninjas from the Wild Hook Kingdom, all of which had angered him. However, meeting such an interesting young man as Wang Xiaoyin, and even having secured a genius disciple, made it all worthwhile. Unfortunately, the old man Luo was unaware that his crushing defeat today was entirely due to Wang Xiaoyin leaking his attack secrets, giving Luo Biding, the leader of the Xuanwu Alliance, time to arrive at Mirror Lake Garden.
"Old man Luo, you've been beaten to a pulp, and you're still so happy? Did someone damage your brain?" Wang Xiaoyin asked suspiciously. He was still waiting to ask Luo Xian for the Spirit Gathering Pill; if the old man had gone mad, wouldn't that be terrible!
The two young beauties were still angry and ignored Wang Xiaoyin. The prisoner of war, Ito Shizuko, didn't understand Coral Mandarin and couldn't respond, remaining lost in thought. Finally, Luo Xian spoke up: "Xiaoyin, I won't hold it against you today. But in front of the Blood God Sect disciples, show some respect to this old man and give me some face."
"How many Spirit Gathering Pills are you worth for face?"
"Cough cough…you brat, I'm unlucky to know you! You're even more shameless than our Third Brother (Pi Xie). What about young people these days? Where has the virtue of respecting elders gone?" The Tiger Roar Pill's effects were wearing off, and the old man, in his anxiety, almost vomited blood.
Luo Xian told them to wait in a certain place. The Blood God Sect's gathering point wasn't easily known to outsiders. The old man wasn't that dizzy. He sent a trusted subordinate with a pill and then reminded him to send his genius alchemy disciple.
Wang Xiaoyin handed the medicine to Xingzi, praising the retreating figure of the Blood God Sect disciple, "Truly remarkable, even the disciple delivering the medicine is a Xuan Realm expert. It seems our previous intelligence was wrong; those twelve Blood God Envoys were merely disciples who had performed meritorious service, not promoted because of their martial arts skills. Also, their retaliatory attacks these past few days have resulted in the loss of hundreds of Blood God Generals, yet they seem unconcerned. Just how many disciples do they have? Can they mass-produce experts of Ancient Martial Arts levels 1-9?"
Xingzi took the swindled medicine, hiding it in her Beast Illusion Space, gazing gratefully at Wang Xiaoyin, her affectionate eyes practically overflowing with tears. She didn't offer any polite thanks, only glancing at the pitiful Jingzi, a wicked smile playing on her lips, wondering how she could repay her master and make him happy.
The two beautiful young women of the Taiyin Sect were secretly alarmed. Even with their evil and cruel doctrines, they were captivated by Xingzi's sinister smile. That expression, so utterly wicked, was an extreme they could never reach, seemingly bearing a resemblance to Wang Xiaoyin's face. But who knows? Who is whose shadow, and who is truly the most evil?
Wang Xiaoyin understood Xingzi's meaning and smiled knowingly. The same smile, but with an undercurrent of wickedness. Ito Shizuko shivered, hugging her arms and shrinking her petite body even tighter. A chill from the depths of her heart made her pale, bloodless. She seemed to foresee her future miserable life, but her predictions were less than one percent of reality. After
a restless night, Wang Xiaoyin slept with the two little beauties in his arms. Before the mature and seductive Xingzi, Mi Xiang and Qiao Qiao could only play the role of little beauties. Although they still had much room for development, they needed time. The dual maturation of their minds and bodies was what would transform them into great beauties.
A seductive long howl broke through the dawn, like the first rays of sunlight piercing the darkness, signaling the changing of day and night. From Xingzi's room came the surprised laughter of several blue demons, who continuously congratulated her. Wang Xiaoyin was also awakened by the noise. He learned that Xingzi had taken the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill and reached the lower level of the Sun Rank.
She had finally reached a milestone in the ultimate stage of ancient martial arts, her true energy gathering and condensing into a pill, which was also a significant sign of longevity. As for when she would reach the upper level of the Sun Rank, that was only a matter of time. Generally, Sun Rank masters could live to be over 150 years old, and Xingzi still had plenty of time. "
Congratulations, my darling Xingzi has become even more beautiful. I heard that women who reach the Sun Rank never age and remain young forever. Tsk tsk, she has become a veritable little enchantress!" Wang Daguanren, naked, staggered into Xingzi's training room. The room was filled with the fragrance of the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Pill, mixed with the body fragrance of the blue demons, which made his penis, which had just woken up from sleep, stand tall and sway.
"Master~" The blue demons groaned, their voices changing instantly at the sight of the human weapon they both loved and feared. Their beautiful bodies seemed to melt into soft silk with each sound. Sachiko, having just reached her long-awaited state, her body brimming with mystical power, also crawled limply toward Wang Xiaoyin, just like the others.
Her clothes were shattered by the surging true energy, leaving her naked as she crawled towards Wang Xiaoyin. Her smooth, jade-like skin, white as a lamb's finger, revealed an alluring, lewd beauty. Her delicate breasts trembled, radiating seductive waves, making her appear like a whimpering lamb, bleating and moaning.
Wang Xiaoyin grabbed her breasts and teased, "They seem bigger and more elastic now. I didn't expect improving my martial arts would have this benefit. You guys need to work harder too."
"I have good news for Master. Lan Liu has also reached the lower star level. She wanted to give Master a surprise, but she didn't expect we were going to the Mysterious Valley, so she hurriedly told us. Hehe, although she looks cold, she actually wishes she could be by Master's side every moment!" Xingzi said with a laugh, climbing onto Wang Xiaoyin's lap and testing her master's intentions with her smooth skin. She was not disappointed. Their naked bodies easily sparked a flame, and the battle spread throughout the room.
Mi Xiang and Qiao Qiao were also awakened, but they had been pretending to be asleep. Seeing Wang Xiaoyin leave and hearing the intermittent moans, the two women broke the silence and whispered curses at Wang Xiaoyin for being lecherous, cursing him for leaving the two beauties in bed and going out to have wild food.
"Sister Xiangxiang, who exactly is he? Today was my first time, and it was with you... Humph, we slept together for half the night, and he ran off to find other women." Qiaoqiao pouted, muttering in dissatisfaction.
Mi Xiang also pouted, laughing and scolding, "You little hussy, you still ask me? You gave away your first time, why don't you ask your man yourself? Besides, who was it that cried and begged me to help you, screaming and wailing like you were going to die, and now you're complaining about being with me!"
"It hurt at first, but it got better later, and I couldn't bear to use my yang-collecting technique on him..."
"Hehe, you little slut, how good is it?"
"Hehehe, Sister Xiangxiang, don't move around!"
The two women were playfully teasing each other, full of spring fever, when Wang Xiaoyin hummed a little tune, pushed open the door and came in: "I'm a quick shooter, I'm a quick shooter...", then, attracted by the fresh women's bodies, he became a quick shooter again.
Holding the pitiful Qiaoqiao in his arms, he used his quick-draw skills to give her a good beating. Tears welled in her eyes, aggravating her wounds, and she darted towards Mi Xiang for help. Unfortunately, Mi Xiang was already exhausted. Without using the Taiyin Sect's secret techniques, the little demon's physical condition during intercourse was far inferior to the blue demons, and she could only cry out for mercy.
In this rather sadistic bed scene, Wang Xiaoyin and Sect Leader Mi Xiang discussed the Taiyin Sect's development path and its grand plan for the next ten years. History says: the glory of the Taiyin Sect rises from the bed! Today proved this saying true once again. Mi Xiang, drowsy from the ordeal, was completely controlled by this Asura protector. She not only revealed all the sect's secrets but also vaguely agreed to become Wang Qinghe's instructor. She even forgot to ask how Wang Qinghe obtained the Taiyin Sect's martial arts techniques.
"Oh my, so the Taiyin Sect isn't completely destitute after all; they still have a lot of potential value. Just the remaining real estate alone amounts to thousands of acres! Hahaha, it's all mine! I'm going to sell them all off, then have them count the money for me, guard my house, and cheer for me!" Wang Xiaoyin roared shamelessly in his mind, quickening his pace and sending the fragrant, soft beauty to another climax.
Tomorrow he was going to lead his men into the Misty Mountains to find the purple aura that would enhance his power in that mysterious valley, so he needed to settle things with Heaven today. Although Xingzi handled most of the affairs for him, the actual controller was Wang Xiaoyin, and the Taiyin Sect's affairs kept him incredibly busy.
The next day, he led his men to the town where he had agreed to meet Ghost Sword. (

Sitting on the westward-bound magnetic train, Wang Xiaoyin's heart remained in Heaven, where the intricate situation was becoming increasingly obscure, giving him more and more headaches. The president's scheme had already progressed several steps, but Wang Xiaoyin hadn't grasped a single detail. Perhaps Chopin didn't want him to be in danger, so he didn't offer much explanation.
Since the last treasure hunt, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of ancient martial arts masters, it hadn't deterred those greedy for treasure; on the contrary, the number of experts entering Paradise City had increased. You could encounter dozens of experts from various factions just by shopping at a supermarket.
Since there was no movement on the Blood God Sect's territory, rumors began to circulate that the sect had given up after failing to find the treasure, and that businesses were investing in the land to build a luxury villa district.
These businesses were secretly arranged by Wang Xiaoyin to better control the land and monitor the Taoist temple ruins. Information about these investments was disseminated through professional Blue Demons. These rumors were likely spread by the Blood God Sect.
Xingzi believed the Blood God Sect must be certain of the treasure's location to release these rumors. Wang Xiaoyin admitted this, but he currently lacked the strength to seize the White Cloud Taoist Temple. He hoped the sixty people he brought would reach the Profound Realm, and that the mysterious purple energy mentioned by Ghost Sword
would offer hope.
However, the Blue Demons who came were far more than sixty. Because Li Juncheng was under the Blood God Sect's tight protection, Blue Five, no longer responsible for surveillance, pestered Wang Xiaoyin to improve his martial arts, claiming that practicing advanced formations required strong true energy. Coupled with the allure of her beauty, Wang Xiaoyin nodded in agreement.
So, the carefree Lan Jiu, upon hearing this, cried and clung to Wang Xiaoyin like glue, saying that her martial arts were too weak and she was often bullied by her sisters. She said that if she couldn't improve her skills, a trip would be just as good. Wang Xiaoyin felt guilty towards her, pinched her rosy cheeks, and nodded in agreement.
Xingzi claimed she was protecting Wang Xiaoyin, but actually she didn't want to leave her beloved little man. So, ignoring the prospect of humiliating Jingzi, she insisted on going along. Although she was already a low-level Sun-rank expert, wouldn't it be even better if she could increase her power further? Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyin nodded again in agreement.
In addition, the Lan Yao, who had heard the rumors beforehand, had already completed their mission and were already wandering in the Misty Mountains. When Wang Xiaoyin arrived at the gathering place, he saw seventy-two green dots on the satellite positioning system. Including himself, there were seventy-three people who had arrived.
Wang Xiaoyin smiled wryly and issued an order: "All of you, become invisible!"
"Master, we've already become invisible. We didn't buy tickets on the train..." the Blue Demons replied.
He had secretly slipped out this time. He was now somewhat famous in Heaven, and several forces had taken notice of his presence. Therefore, under the guise of being extremely cautious, Wang Xiaoyin didn't want anyone to discover his hidden forces. He even considered whether to kill Ghost Sword afterward to silence him.
In the afternoon, Ghost Sword, carrying a canvas bag, wearing special forces camouflage and professional wilderness exploration gear, greeted him with a smile. The scars on his face were still gruesome, and his smile was somewhat terrifying, but there was a hint of sincerity in it. Wang Xiaoyin mentally told himself that this was an illusion; this ruthless man couldn't be sincere. So, Wang Xiaoyin greeted Ghost Sword with an even more "sincere" smile, and the two exchanged warm pleasantries.
Although they had cooperated before and had seen each other from afar once, this was their first formal meeting.
"Have your men arrived?" Ghost Sword asked.
"They're here!" Wang Xiaoyin replied.
"Where?"
Wang Xiaoyin pointed to the empty surroundings and laughed, "There are people all here, including me, a total of seventy-three!"
Ghost Sword broke out in a cold sweat, thinking he had seen a ghost. He composed himself, and it took him a long time to sense Lan Jiu, the weakest in martial arts. He was terrified. He had seen Lan Shi and Lan Jiu in their invisibility before and thought their invisibility techniques were already very sophisticated, only their martial arts were slightly weaker. But today, it seemed that if these mysterious people were to assassinate him, he wouldn't even have a chance. Who was he? Ghost Sword stared blankly at Wang Xiaoyin, cold sweat already beading on his forehead.
Lan Jiu was pushed out by someone, the air distorted and deformed, and she angrily revealed her figure, glaring at a void behind her. She carried a cute backpack and wore a fashionable long-sleeved shirt and trousers, but they contained a color-changing material, which met the standards of outdoor uniforms. She knew that her invisibility had been seen through, which was why she was kicked out by the instructor. Anyway, she had seen Ghost Sword, so there was nothing wrong with coming out. She could even get intimate with her master. So, no longer angry, she skipped and hopped onto Wang Xiaoyin's arm, making a face at Guijian and saying, "I saw the news last time, your beautiful toy was driven crazy by you, so low-class, and I even gave you precious SM teaching materials. Hmph, you're such a failure as a person!"
"Uh... this, hehe!" Guijian broke out in a cold sweat again, giving Wang Xiaoyin a troubled look, not understanding the relationship between Lan Jiu and him, how could she openly discuss SM in front of other men, and be so self-righteous.
"Your level is enough to give others teaching materials?" Wang Xiaoyin sneered, pinching Lan Jiu's increasingly charming face, his face full of disdain, "Go practice your martial arts properly, stop complaining to me all day about how people bully you."
In the valley outside the town, they set up a temporary camp. Although they had brought many necessities, they still needed to replenish the heavy consumables in the town. Although the town was remote, there were many adventurers and tourists, and many things could be bought there. After finishing all this, it was dark. The noisy Lan Yao were also tired from playing, and they all went into their tents to rest.
Ghost Sword had been living cautiously for the past half day, only hearing sounds but seeing no one. He was terrified of accidentally bumping into a woman or being knocked down himself. He found an opportunity to ask Wang Xiaoyin, "Your men are invisible all the time, aren't you tired?"
"Uh, how should I put it," Wang Xiaoyin replied, "just think of them as invisibility worms, they're born with this ability. Invisibility isn't tiring, not being invisible is. Are you satisfied with this explanation?" Ghost
Sword's cold sweat, which had just subsided, surged again. What kind of people were these?! If they possessed naturally powerful invisibility skills, coupled with profound internal energy, who could possibly be their match in the future? He was already somewhat regretting making this deal with Wang Xiaoyin, but he knew clearly that if he backed out now, something even more regrettable would happen. So, he sheepishly shut his mouth and crawled into his small single tent to sleep.
After arranging the duty roster, Wang Xiaoyin also crawled into his tent. However, several fragrant women were waiting for him there, all of them Lan Yao, whom he hadn't seen for many days. So, appeasing the women was inevitable. Moreover, the ever-pleasant Wang Xiaoyin really enjoyed this atmosphere. Fortunately, the custom-made tent had excellent soundproofing, allowing the poor Ghost Sword to get a good night's sleep. He changed tents several times throughout the night, almost sneaking into Ghost Sword's tent, but luckily Lan Yao on duty pointed him out, preventing a blunder.
When Ghost Sword woke up the next morning, his face looked terrible, as if he hadn't slept well. It seemed his martial arts skills were too high, and he had heard groans he shouldn't have. Lan Jiu's face wasn't good either, but being able to stay by Wang Xiaoyin's side made her gradually happier.
Leaving the same hilltop in the tourist area, they quietly entered a secluded path leading directly into the dark, deep forest. The mournful mountain wind howled through the cracks in the rocks, like the wails of ghosts and demons.
They were all used to the strange and were immune to such natural sounds. Only Lan Jiu half-heartedly snuggled into Wang Xiaoyin's arms, pretending to be scared, which earned her the laughter of the invisible women. Fortunately, Lan Jiu was immune to their laughter, automatically filtering it out and ignoring them, continuing to harass Wang Xiaoyin.
"Ah! A skeleton!" If Lan Jiu's previous fear was feigned, this scream was eight-tenths genuine as she trembled and threw herself into Wang Xiaoyin's arms.
Ghost Sword glanced at the skeleton and said nonchalantly, "Hmm, that's someone I brought last time. First, he broke his left leg, and then he was bitten by a star-tailed snake. Logically, his bones should be dark gray, so why are they so pale?"
As he spoke, he broke off a branch, intending to pry the skeleton blocking his way.
"Wait!" A delicate shout interrupted Ghost Sword's movements. A palm strike came from the void, hitting the skull with a hollow "bang," and the shattered skull shot out a beam of blue light, which swirled and disappeared into the weeds.
"What was that?" Ghost Sword had just been annoyed by her interruption, but now he was somewhat relieved, though also a little afraid of the unknown brain-eating blue light.
"Brain-eating worm!" The charming voice didn't say anything more. A pink arm appeared in the void, holding a small crystal box, and slowly approached the weeds where the brain-eating worm was hiding.
Everyone saw a small opening in the crystal box, from which a strange, sour smell emanated. The woman's other small hand channeled her inner energy, sending the sour smell towards the weeds.
"Master, what is Sister Lan Ba doing?" Lan Jiu asked softly.
"Silence! She's catching insects to make medicine!" Wang Xiaoyin transmitted to her.
The weeds, which had been silent for a while, suddenly rustled a few times, and a thin green worm slowly emerged from within. It was not much thicker than a hair, with a triangular head and a single eye in the center, which darted around cunningly, emitting an evil blue light. Its body was like an earthworm, with distinct segments, and a slippery, hard texture, seemingly capable of burrowing through rock.
Everyone held their breath, watching the brain-eating worm slowly burrow into the crystal box until it couldn't resist the sour temptation and burrowed its entire body inside, reaching a length of over a foot. With a "snap!" Lan Ba closed the only exit, and the worm realized it had been tricked, twisting its triangular head, trying to escape. Lan Ba chuckled, flicking the crystal box. "What a huge worm! Even if you've eaten the brains of hundreds of people, you're still just a worm. Because you eat dead brains, understand?"
Ignoring the worm's anxiety, Lan Ba tossed the crystal box into the Beast Illusion Space, patted his clean hands, and vanished into the void.
Ghost Sword couldn't help but ask, "I remember throwing this corpse behind the rocks, how did it end up on the path? Judging from the marks I made, no one should have passed by here." "
One of the brain-eating worm's abilities is manipulating skeletons. Ancient necromancers might have manipulated skeletons by controlling brain-eating worms. This skeleton is incomplete, so it can't move. This kind of worm is rare; I didn't expect to see it here. I'm really looking forward to other worms and medicinal herbs," Lan Ba explained.
Ghost Sword nodded, then curiously looked back at the skeleton. They all possessed superb lightness skills, but after wandering around for a long time, they still hadn't escaped the forest. Lan Wu suddenly said, "We're lost. We might be trapped in some kind of naturally formed formation."
"Ah?" Lan Jiu was taken aback and complained to Gui Jian, "How did you lead the way? Haven't you been here several times before?"
Gui Jian took out his compass, wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head in confusion, and explained, "It wasn't like this last time I came. I remember this path ends very easily."
"Don't panic, don't explore alone, and don't get separated!" Xingzi commanded the chattering blue demons before walking over to Wang Xiaoyin and whispering to him.
Ghost Sword fiddled with the electronic navigation tools in his bag, saying in a panic, "They're all malfunctioning! What about yours?"
Wang Xiaoyin shrugged and said, "Same as you, all malfunctioning, even the satellite positioning system is broken! Lan Wu is right, we might be trapped in some kind of formation. There are no other traces on the leaves on the ground, not even animal tracks, which is very abnormal. We're in trouble!"
The Blue Demons all deactivated their invisibility, revealing their alluring figures, whispering and chattering without a trace of panic, curiously surveying their surroundings. "Curiosity killed the cat, so anyone who tries to act alone will be severely punished!" Instructor Xingzi immediately reverted to her role, and the Blue Demons obediently lined up, Lan Jiu among them—a conditioned reflex honed through long-term training.
Ghost Sword stared dumbfounded at the various beauties, momentarily forgetting where he was. He had never imagined such a level of beauty, especially with over seventy of them appearing before him at the same time. The impact on him was unimaginable; he stood there stunned, unable to look away for a long time.
"Master, I can't discern the formation's structure. It might be a formation we've never seen before, or a naturally formed barrier," Lan Wu thought for a moment, then added, "Another possibility is that this formation is enormous, and we're only in one corner, unable to see the whole picture, thus unable to discern its changes."
"Rule out the naturally formed theory! Because Ghost Sword was able to pass through normally last time, it means the formation simply wasn't activated. Today, when we passed through, the formation happened to activate, and we were very 'lucky' to be trapped. This formation can utilize the primeval forest as its base, indicating it's extremely large and an ancient formation. If it's an ancient formation, Lan Wu couldn't possibly be unaware of it. The only explanation is that we're in a very small corner, unable to see the whole picture," Lan San, skilled in reasoning, quickly added.
Wang Xiaoyin nodded, agreeing with Lan San's reasoning, and looked at Lan Wu for his opinion. In terms of formation knowledge, Lan Wu was an expert.
Lan Wu looked up at the gray sky, then at the misty forest, and said, "A formation that can block satellite communications and disrupt magnetic fields is truly rare. It feels familiar, yet I can't discern its true arrangement. It's really perplexing. Instructor, what do you think?"
"Could it be a combination formation?" Xingzi suggested.
"Ah?" The Blue Demons exclaimed in surprise. They had all learned a little about formations and practiced some combined attack formations, knowing the complexity of combination formations.
Gui Jian didn't understand what they were saying, but intuitively felt it was very profound. He became even more curious about their origins, observing Wang Xiaoyin who was frowning in thought. Suddenly, he felt that among these people, he was the most familiar with them, as if they were acquaintances.
Wang Xiaoyin asked, "Gui Jian, how long did it take you to cross this forest last time?"
"About an hour! Although the branches are dense, you can still see scattered sunlight. But today, it's clearly a sunny day, so why can't I see a single bright patch of sky? It's as if the sky is covered by something!" Gui Jian said.
Wang Xiaoyin looked up at the sky and suddenly heard a sound ahead, "Shh! Shh!" It sounded like insects crawling through leaves, urgent and restless, like a thousand horses galloping, roaring incessantly.
Lan Ba suddenly turned pale and shouted, "Impossible, impossible! That's the sound of the Hai Scorpions! They always hide underground, how could they be running around on land in swarms... Could someone be disturbing them?"
"Awooo! Awooo!" Amid the rustling, deafening howls occasionally rang out. Each time the howls were heard, the Hai Scorpions' voices would change direction, as if they were commanding them.
"Grave Wolves! These are Grave Wolves! Aren't they extinct? I've only heard them in the synthesized audio-visual materials in the museum. If there are Hai Scorpions and Grave Wolves, there must be Blood Bees!" Lan Ba seemed no longer afraid, but rather had a morbid excitement, running towards the direction of the sound.
Wang Xiaoyin couldn't stop her and had to follow. Everyone was frightened by the eerie sound, but had no choice but to follow. Just as Lan Ba had said, after the howling of the wolf, they heard a buzzing sound of wings vibrating in the sky, but it was too far away. They ran for a long time but didn't see these strange creatures.
Wang Xiaoyin quietly asked Lan Wu, "Girl, do you think it might be a hallucination? Why are all these extinct creatures out?"
Lan Wu shook her head and pointed to Lan Ba, who was running wildly ahead, saying, "Master, she wouldn't be mistaken. Besides, we couldn't all hear this hallucination at the same time, could we? And I feel a heavy death aura around us. Someone has probably opened an ancient tomb. In legends, tomb wolves are earth-type monsters that like to steal corpses, similar to the metal-type scorpion. They like to hide underground, especially in ancient tombs."
After running for half an hour, Lan Ba, who was at the front of the group, suddenly stopped. None of the blue demons spoke. Their blue hair danced rhythmically, sensing the unusual biological waves in the air. Ghost Sword looked at his strange companions and suddenly felt a little afraid. He felt that these beautiful companions were not human, but beautiful fairies, including this beautiful male fairy. Their hair slowly grew longer, reaching their waists, and danced in the wind without any breeze, making the same rustling sound.
"Hiss! Hiss!" Countless venomous snakes suddenly emerged from under the withered, dark leaves, colorful and varying in length; some as thin as earthworms, less than seven inches long, others as thick as buckets, hundreds of meters long.
Ghost Sword could no longer stand; his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, countless venomous snakes surging towards him…

Volume 4, Chapter 71: The Scorpion King
: 9-22 4:51:12 Word Count: 7213

As thousands of venomous snakes slithered towards him, Ghost Sword nearly fainted, but unfortunately, he didn't. His neck stiffened as he stared at the approaching snakes, his eyes bulging. The stench of the snakes filled his nostrils. Strangely, the thousands of snakes swarmed around him, densely packed, yet none attacked. They seemed to ignore him, staring intently at the edge of the forest, where the hissing of scorpions, the howling of grave wolves, the buzzing of blood bees, and strange explosions and gunshots could be heard.
Hundreds of snow-white monsters with sharp snouts and fangs, and a dozen thin legs, spewing a nauseating stench, charged from the forest. They were nearly two meters tall, with scorpion-like tails, the tips gleaming coldly. They swept across the towering trees blocking their path, making a series of cracking sounds, shattering some rocks.
These scorpions, resembling long pigs, were the origin of their name, Hai Xie (meaning "scorpion"). They rushed into the woods, seemingly lost, stumbling and unable to form a group. A hundred paces from the colorful snake swarm, Wang Xiaoyin uttered a strange syllable, like the roar of a wild beast or the hiss of a giant snake. Hearing this, the snakes ahead charged forward recklessly.
Hundreds of venomous snakes surrounded a boar, devouring it en masse. Although the boar had a hard shell, it couldn't withstand the corrosive venom and the gnawing teeth. With a few squeals, the once-arrogant boar struggled briefly, but was powerless to escape the snakes' entanglement. It fluttered twice and then lay still, its body coiled with venomous snakes like colorful ribbons.
Some of the scorpions were stronger, able to charge three to five paces into the snake swarm, sweeping away several strong, black-striped snakes with their whip-like tails. However, they were ensnared by equally large pythons, rolling a few times in the surging snake swarm before being strangled to death by the brightly colored python, like being wrapped in a zongzi leaf, gradually devoured by the giant snake.
Ghost Sword watched in disbelief as the primal battle raged. The stench of blood permeated the forest, and more and more venomous snakes gathered behind him. Apart from the snakes engaged in combat, the rest remained silent, their long bodies coiled, heads tilted with an air of noble elegance as they watched. Ghost Sword noticed that the beautiful blue-haired women had become even more alluring, as if their former faces had been masked with a corrupting beauty. Now, their true faces were revealed, their snake-like hair twisting as they exchanged some mysterious information with the cold, venomous snakes.
"Boom! Boom!" Loud explosions of incendiary bombs echoed from outside the forest. The snakes, somewhat frightened, writhed uneasily, trying to retreat, but were held back by a strange force. They took two steps back, then stopped, hissing impatiently.
Only forty or fifty Scorpions were fighting the snakes, while hundreds of venomous snakes had already died. The remaining Scorpions had either gotten lost in the forest or, fearing the threat emanating from the snakes, retreated along their original paths. Suddenly, a gigantic scorpion, screeching in agony, charged into the forest. Standing four or five meters tall and about seven or eight meters long, its tail had been blown off, blackish-green blood oozing from its wound. Its silvery-white body was riddled with bullet holes, and three or four of its slender legs were broken, with two still clinging to pieces of skin. It slithered away, its tail twitching.
"Scorpion leader! We can collect its soul to make a beast spirit; metal-type beast spirits are very valuable! Master, have the venomous snakes entangle it!" Xingzi suddenly shouted, reminding Wang Xiaoyin.
Wang Xiaoyin naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He uttered several commands, forcing the venomous snakes to attack the scorpion leader. Although low-level venomous snakes lacked intelligence, their fear of powerful, high-level creatures was instinctive. If Wang Xiaoyin hadn't used the beast breath of the Tanuki King to force them to attack, these snakes might have already fled.
Dozens more cumbersome venomous pythons arrived from behind. Wang Xiaoyin ordered them to swim to the front of the group and surround the scorpion leader. The Scorpion leader was clearly intelligent; despite its numerous wounds, it wasn't foolish enough to charge headlong into a swarm of tens of thousands of venomous snakes. Its powerful body twisted and struggled, shaking off the attacking giant snakes. Many were flung against ancient trees, their limbs shattered, but many more snakes clung tightly to it, gnawing at its exoskeleton with their sharp fangs.
"Screech!"
A bloodcurdling howl escaped the Scorpion leader as its mangled leg was severed by a snake's tail. Its massive body crashed to the ground with a furious roar of defiance. Hearing this roar, the other ordinary Scorpions collapsed to the ground, unable to rise for a long time.
Outside the forest, the muffled explosions of incendiary bombs echoed, their crimson flames gleaming brightly in the dim forest. The roar of volleys of bullets reverberated through the valley, causing all the beasts to howl in unison. The commands of the Earth-type Grave Wolves rose and fell, their buzzing and rustling constantly assaulting the human senses.
"I'm so tired, I'm not playing anymore! Master, I want to rest!" Lan Jiu pouted, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she sat down dejectedly on the ground covered with leaves, playfully pinching her long, beautiful legs. Her eyes curiously looked at the venomous snakes around her. When she found a new or unusual snake, she would giggle and shout, even trying to sneak past the snakes and catch the pretty ones.
Ghost Sword wasn't afraid of snakes, but that didn't mean he wasn't afraid of snake swarms, especially swarms of tens of thousands of venomous snakes. Seeing Lan Jiu's mocking gaze, he cleared his throat and coughed a few times: "Uh... cough cough, may I ask, did you summon these snakes?"
"Nonsense, can't you see them? Don't think this is fun. Summoning snakes is actually very tiring. If it weren't for the combined efforts of dozens of us sisters, where would we get so many venomous snakes to protect us? Hmm, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Look at your terrified face, tsk tsk!" Lan Jiu ignored him, thinking Ghost Sword was really too stupid. First, he didn't know how to learn SM techniques, and then he was even afraid of cute and pretty venomous snakes. He was utterly useless.
Suddenly, the dying scorpion leader let out a joyful, triumphant cry. Its mangled body, wrapped in colorful shimmering fabric, emitted a golden light that seemed almost tangible, piercing the snake's flesh like a sharp sword, leaving it a bloody mess. The scorpion then staggered to its feet, its mangled organs slowly regrowing in the golden light. Its imposing presence deterred the venomous snakes, causing them to tremble and retreat.
"Wow, the Scorpion Leader has evolved! It's going to become the Scorpion King!"
"Master, stop the snakes' attack first, wait for it to evolve, and then collect its soul."
Lan Jiu excitedly shouted, "Yes, I know! After a creature evolves, although it can heal its own wounds, it will also consume all its energy, making it the weakest it has ever been. Haha, the soul of a king is more valuable than the souls of a hundred leaders. It's a pity it's a low-intelligence beast; it can't compare to us."
After evolving into the Scorpion King, the Scorpion Leader's body doubled in size. Its majestic golden tail, with its sinister barbs, caused towering ancient trees beside it to crash to the ground with a casual swing, demonstrating the immense power of its tail. It let out a weak growl, scaring away the surrounding venomous snakes. It swayed and tried to turn and run away, but its body was too large. Before it could even turn halfway, it crashed into five or six giant trees, crushing it beneath them. It struggled in terror, summoning its last remaining energy to unleash golden rays, attempting to shatter the giant tree binding it. However, in its writhing, it swept down even more trees, turning them into shackles that bound it.
"Haha, I've never seen such a stupid beast king. Instructor, quickly collect its soul..." Before one of the blue demons could finish speaking, Ito Sachiko floated into the air, took a transparent crystal from her magical beast space, and flew towards the still-struggling Scorpion King.
A ghostly blue light shot into the Scorpion's ferocious head. Sachiko formed hand seals, struggling to control the Scorpion's struggling body. When the light enveloped its entire body, the Scorpion's evil eyes bulged out, its sharp gaze slowly fading into a dull gray. From a tiny wound below its neck, a golden glow flowed, strikingly visible against the blue light.
When the golden glow took shape, becoming a miniature Scorpion, Sachiko abruptly withdrew her blue light shield, enveloping the bewildered beast spirit and sealing it within the crystal in her left hand. The transparent crystal turned golden, revealing a flowing soul within, blinking its eyes in confusion.
"Wow, so cute!" the blue fairies exclaimed in delight. "We've never seen anything so adorable!"
Wang Xiaoyin secretly scoffed; these women would say the same thing about anything cute. But now there was no need to summon snakes; he could simply let them frolic. The surrounding snakes were easy to control; all he needed to do was continuously emit the beastly breath of the Tanuki King. Xingzi tossed the newly acquired beast spirit to the blue fairies to admire, then stood gently and obediently beside Wang Xiaoyin, wiping the sweat from his brow.
Lan Ba ignored the Scorpion King's soul. She leaped onto its corpse, brandishing her dagger and digging for alchemy materials. Beasts that have evolved to a certain stage all possess inner cores, large or small, all top-grade materials for alchemy. Some organs are also rare medicinal herbs, which Lan Ba, who loved alchemy, naturally wouldn't let slip by.
Ghost Sword also ran to Wang Xiaoyin's side and asked, "The forest exit is just ahead, should we go out?" He asked this mainly because he heard more roars of monsters outside, along with human screams and the sounds of gunfire. Since Wang Xiaoyin could summon so many venomous snakes, staying in the forest might be safer.
"Go out, of course we have to go out! I'm also very interested in the people outside! Since they first heard about modern weapons, they've already spent no less than ten million on arms. I want to know what makes them spend so much money to provoke these strange beasts."
With the help of the blue demons, Wang Xiaoyin controlled tens of thousands of snakes, moving towards the edge of the forest. Any stray strange beasts they encountered were eliminated, and their valuable materials were stored in his magical beast space.
"Ghost Sword, your martial arts have reached the Star level. Have you determined your elemental attribute?" Wang Xiaoyin asked.
"I haven't been in the Profound Realm for long, so I haven't determined my attribute yet. I've been trying to eliminate possibilities. I'm very sensitive to the wood element, so it'll probably be wood-type." Ghost Sword thought Wang Xiaoyin was going to give him a beast spirit, which made him very happy. Thinking about how he had only acquired a metal-type beast spirit earlier, he felt somewhat disappointed. He kept hoping for a high-level wood-type monster to appear so he could acquire a beast spirit he could use to increase his strength. With his own beast spirit, he would have a magical beast space and could also increase the power of his mystical arts. At a certain stage, in life-or-death battles, one can even summon their own beast spirits to aid in combat.
"Oh!" Wang Xiaoyin casually replied, ignoring him. Wang Xiaoyin only wanted to ask him what level he had reached, to prevent Ghost Sword from playing any tricks. He couldn't let go of the fact that he had accidentally entered the maze today, especially with unknown dangers ahead.
Upon reaching the edge, they first gathered the snake swarm to make way. Wang Xiaoyin and the Blue Demons used their tacit invisibility to walk outwards, leaving Ghost Sword foolishly waiting among the snake swarm. Ghost Sword knew they were nearby, but since he couldn't see them, he felt an inexplicable fear—fear that he was alone among tens of thousands of venomous snakes.
Outside was a desolate wasteland with jagged ravines, where the yellowish-green grass grew wildly and would burst into flames when touched by incendiary bombs, as if it had already withered. The air was filled with the sulfurous smell of gunpowder, but even stronger was the stench of corpses. This stench was formed from burning, not the ancient smell of decay.
Gunshots rang out from the 10 o'clock direction, and swarms of strange, squeaking insects charged toward it. Steep, precipitous peaks blocked any path—a dead end, really. Towering beast carcasses obscured Wang Xiaoyin's view. He let out strange cries, inexplicably excited by this novel stimulation; the joy emanating from his beastly spirit was contagious. Like him were the other blue demons, their blood boiling with ancient memories, emitting hissing, serpentine cries. Caught up in this atmosphere, tens of thousands of venomous snakes also let out celebratory hisses, their faint sounds merging together and echoing through the valley.
Ghost Sword was terrified by the sight of thousands of snakes dancing in the air. Covering his ears, he stepped to the front and shouted at Wang Xiaoyin, "What are you doing? This place is full of monsters! We'd better get out of here quickly. I don't want to die here. I still have a great grudge to avenge. You..." He suddenly stopped, staring in horror at the path ahead, and roared, "No, no, how did I get here? We should be on that mountain peak. How did we get into this place? I've never been here before!"
"What did you say? You've never been here before?" Wang Xiaoyin suppressed his bloodlust, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Ghost Sword. The unintentional killing intent he exuded caused Ghost Sword to retreat several steps, almost falling into the swarm of venomous snakes.
"Yes, yes, I've never been here before. According to my memory, the path through the forest should be a flat downhill trail, and that path should be on the treacherous peak to the left!" Ghost Sword said, pointing to the hundred-foot-high precipitous peak at the ten o'clock position.
"Master, it's a spatial array. It uses the folding of space to create a sense of temporal distortion. Look at the time now, it's the same as when we first entered the forest. In other words, time will only return to normal if we leave this folded space," Lan Wu said cautiously, surveying his surroundings.
"A spatial folding array? Then, we're still on this planet, right? We haven't entered another dimension?" Wang Xiaoyin said half-jokingly. He was just a little anxious, not afraid of the monsters ahead, because his Viper Guard hadn't lost even a fraction of its members.
"Haha, of course we're on this planet. It's just that the array's power has distorted space, like the void when we're invisible, or the Phantom Beast Space—they're all temporary parallel spaces. It's precisely because time is paused that the entire maze is even more confusing. If I'm not mistaken, if we continue forward, we might appear on that mountaintop, or at the array's core. That should be some ancient tomb!" Lan Wu laughed.
"Help!" Chaotic cries for help echoed from the 2 o'clock direction, accompanied by the rustling and squeaking of wild beasts, like a stampede of horses. Only the deafening roar of gunfire temporarily halted the advance of the beasts.
Xingzi floated in the air, surveying the two sides of the battlefield, and cried out, "Master, what should we do? The monsters on the right are almost here. Judging from the noise, there seem to be quite a few. It's all smoke and dust, we can't see clearly. Luckily, many of the blood bees have been burned to death, so there's no buzzing sound. Otherwise, my water magic would be very difficult against them!"
"Go straight! Let the snakes clear the way. Before the beasts on the right reach us, we'll scout ahead. Even if there's no path ahead, we have the snake swarm protecting us, we're not afraid of these insects."
Guijian had no choice but to follow them, rushing forward through the colorful snake swarm. Occasionally, a few scattered stone-skinned giant rats were devoured by the frenzied snakes, leaving only their ghastly white bones. This scene was reminiscent of the ancient, primordial society, where countless beasts roamed and fought on the wasteland, the strong preying on the weak, constantly struggling for survival.
Wang Xiaoyin was immersed in the exhilarating feeling of soul connection when he was suddenly interrupted by a deafening gunshot. He suddenly saw a fully armed army directly in front of him, engaged in a bloody battle. There were about forty or fifty men left, their bodies stained with blood and dark, oily green animal blood, tearing into a pack of grave wolves.
"How can they be soldiers? Where exactly is this place? Have we trespassed into a military restricted area?" Wang Xiaoyin asked, frowning.
One of the blue demons replied, “We have information on all 174 military restricted areas in the Coral Kingdom. There are absolutely no troops stationed here. Legend has it that there was an evil cultivation sect here called the Witch God Sect, who refined evil magical artifacts here, leaving the place barren and lifeless, with poisonous gas spreading for thousands of miles. As a result, this place has been uninhabited for thousands of years, with very few animals, only dense trees that can grow, but most of the vegetation is poisonous. Even when tourism was being developed, this place was designated as a restricted area by the government.”
“The Witch God Sect? I’ve heard some legends about it. It’s said to be a major evil cultivation sect from ten thousand years ago, even more famous than the White Cloud Taoist Temple. Many Taoist priests in history have come here to search for relics. It seems that more people came here than they searched for the White Cloud Taoist Temple!” Wang Xiaoyin said with a smile.
Sachiko carefully observed the soldiers ahead and suddenly said, "They're definitely not from the military. Even special forces wouldn't consist entirely of martial arts practitioners. They must be trained by some powerful family."
At that moment, the soldiers also noticed the intimidating "flower carpet," their mouths agape as they stared at the "only" human—Ghost Sword. They didn't know whether to continue fighting off the dozen or so grave wolves or call for help. The grave wolves, threatened by the sound of the snakes moving, stopped their attack and observed the snakes from a distance.
"Hey, kid, which squad are you from? Why aren't those snakes attacking you? Where's your weapon?" one of the soldiers shouted at Ghost Sword. Ghost Sword was wearing ground combat camouflage, which was surprisingly similar to theirs, the only difference being that he wasn't carrying a weapon.
