Chapter 193: Star Peng Plains
Shadow Assassin Temple Main Hall.
In the council chamber, the current temple lord, Lan Cangye, sat high on his throne, frowning as he scrutinized the jade slip in his hand. His eyes were filled with coldness, causing the atmosphere around him to turn icy and oppressive.
"Just how does Su Zhengji handle things?" Lan Cangye's tone was cold as he spoke. "The secret realm has only been open for a few days, and we've already lost so many people. Even several promising young elites have perished. Is he getting more confused as he gets older? Has he wasted all those years of cultivation...?"
The elders sitting on either side exchanged glances, but no one spoke up. Su Zhengji had indeed handled this task poorly, to the point where it was difficult for anyone to speak up in his defense.
Regardless, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace couldn't be considered a formidable opponent. Compared to some of the major contracts Shadow Assassin Temple had taken in the past, this declining female cultivation sect could only be considered a medium-difficulty mission. With the advantage of numbers and average cultivation level, there was no reason for them to lose so badly.
Now that things had turned out like this, regardless of the reasons, Su Zhengji was to blame. When he returned, he would face severe punishment, but it was hard to say how severe it would be.
Subtle glances began to pass between the elders. Since Su Zhengji was destined to fall, wouldn't his position as a core elder be vacated? Could someone from their own faction take over? How much benefit would they have to offer in order to secure that position?
Everyone in this hall was a seasoned veteran, shrewd enough to squeeze oil out of a stone. Given the opportunity, they would definitely crush their opponents to death.
"What do you think is the best way to handle this matter?" Lan Cangye finally finished his scolding and coldly questioned.
After a long silence, Lan Cangye nodded slightly. This was only right. Shadow Assassin Temple had risen to prominence by taking on such tasks. Since they had received the benefits, they had to find a way to complete the mission satisfactorily. It was an industry rule.
"Lan Qiyao, why don't you go this time?" After some thought, Lan Cangye finally spoke up.
In the area near the high platform, a masked young girl stood up silently and bowed. Her figure was agile and powerful, her tight black leather armor outlining her fiery and enchanting curves. Her pair of beautiful legs were enough to make one's mouth dry, and her obsidian-like eyes sparkled.
Seeing his most satisfied direct disciple, the prodigious genius seed he had been preparing as his successor, Lan Cangye's eyes held a hint of a smile, and his tone softened slightly.
"You haven't completed many important missions, but you've done quite well with each one. So, I've decided to entrust this task to you as well. I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Disciple obeys."
Lan Qiyao responded briefly, her voice as pleasant as a murmuring stream.
...
In the Grotto-Heaven secret realm.
In the fragrant and spacious boudoir, on the slightly exaggerated embroidered bed, Qin Muling, who looked a bit tired, released the milky-white snow child from his hand. The Innate Primordial Spirit Seed within him emitted a bright light, and the essence of spiritual energy surged into his body, quickly restoring him to his peak state.
Breaking free from the entanglement of a pile of jade arms and long legs, Qin Muling said, "It's about time we set off. If the map is not mistaken, the opportunity in Star Peng Plains should be about to appear. Its value is no less than that of the Cloud Dao Seeking Pagoda. We can't let others snatch it away."
"Alright, let's go."
Qi Yalan's starry eyes were half-closed as she lazily propped up her snow-white, fragrant, and stunning body. She hugged Qin Muling affectionately and began to help him get dressed.
"But I think we should gather our senior and junior sisters first and go together," Luo Huan said softly as she tidied the delicate knot of her transparent bellyband.
"That makes sense. Let's go together then."
Luo Wanqing also fondled Qin Muling a few times before reluctantly starting to get dressed. Then Yu Binghua, Xue Bingxuan, and Cheng Yulan also got up one after another.
"After this gathering of immortals, all of you should be able to directly break through to the True Immortal Intermediate stage, or even the Advanced stage, right?" Qin Muling asked.
"Probably. Most of it is thanks to you, little junior brother," Luo Wanqing replied as she turned around and nibbled on Qin Muling, her beautiful eyes filled with passionate infatuation.
They had all used the Good Fortune Divine Scripture from the Cloud Dao Seeking Pagoda to wash and refine their bodies, souls, and spirits. They had reached the pinnacle of their current realm in all aspects. Except for Yu Binghua, who was progressing a bit slower, the five women had no problem stepping into the True Immortal Intermediate stage, and there was a considerable chance of reaching the True Immortal Advanced stage.
The higher their cultivation, the more delicious Qin Muling's free meal became. He had made up his mind not to let go of his senior sisters' thighs.
Of course, Master Mu Yinghua's thighs are even more fragrant. If I can catch up to my senior sisters in cultivation in the future, I will have the opportunity to embrace Master's thighs. It's something to look forward to, living in such comfort and contentment.
After a moment, the neatly packed senior sisters left together with Qin Muling on the starship.
The Grotto-Heaven realm of the Profound Dao Venerable is extremely vast. Even with the terrifying speed of the starship, it would take at least a year or more to travel back and forth inside. And that's just a superficial journey. If one wants to explore the remote ruins, collect resources, and search for certain opportunities, it would probably take a hundred or even a hundred and eighty years.
However, the Grotto-Heaven realm only opens for a hundred days each time, which is not enough time to fully utilize it. The benefits that cultivators can obtain inside depend entirely on luck. Even if they come out empty-handed, they can't blame anyone else.
Inside the cabin of the starship, Qin Muling took the clean turtle shell and more than ten jade coins handed to him by his senior sister. He dripped a drop of his own blood on the surface of the turtle shell, silently operating the Heavenly Luck Secret Technique, and began to deduce the current locations of his senior sisters.
Under the bright pearl light, the surface of the turtle shell reflected a faint golden glow from the crimson blood, with a hint of purple aura rising and a rich Dao rhyme filling the room, giving off a fragrant scent.
"Junior Brother, if this blood is used directly for medicine or alchemy, its effect might not be inferior to a Heavenly Rank Spirit Pill!" Yu Binghua whispered.
Xue Bingxuan glanced at her and said, "That's why we must do our best to protect Junior Brother and not let others covet him. This is our good fortune and the hope for our sect to flourish. We absolutely cannot afford to lose him."
The senior sisters nodded one after another. Having experienced the various benefits of Qin Muling, they couldn't do without this junior brother anymore. As long as they held onto him, their own paths and grand aspirations would have the most reliable guarantee.
Not long after, there were movements on the surface of the turtle shell. A bright starlight emerged, and scattered specks of crystal light were randomly distributed among them.
Xue Bingxuan and the others gathered around to observe attentively. Those crystal lights represented the positions of the disciples of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace. Although they couldn't guarantee one hundred percent accuracy, with Qin Muling's terrifying luck, at least eighty to ninety percent accuracy was guaranteed.
More than ten larger crystal lights indicated that there were more senior sisters in that location, while dozens of smaller crystal lights often represented senior sisters who were separated, with varying distances.
"It's a bit troublesome, but let's take our time," Cheng Yulan said. The new generation disciples of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace entering the Grotto-Heaven realm this time were not many, just over a thousand. Adding the elders and guardians who had sealed their cultivation, the total number was less than two thousand, which was indeed a bit less compared to other Supreme Dao forces.
That's why Xue Bingxuan decided to gather all the disciples together to act as a group. Otherwise, if these senior sisters encountered cultivators from hostile forces, it would be inevitable for them to suffer losses.
The starship slightly slowed down in the high sky, adjusted its direction, and then turned into a stream of light disappearing at the end of the sky.
Tens of thousands of miles away, two groups of cultivators were silently facing each other.
Qi Shuyu stared solemnly at the hundreds of Deer Cry Island cultivators across from her. A pair of jet-black willow-shaped flying swords hovered and danced around her, emitting a chilling coldness.
Behind her stood more than twenty senior sisters, with nearly half of them injured.
The two sides had just fought a battle. Although the female cultivators from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace were generally more powerful due to their profound cultivation, they suffered some losses due to their obvious numerical disadvantage, making the current situation even more unfavorable.
"...Our patience is limited," Qi Shuyu said coldly.
On the opposite side, a burly man with a full beard spoke with a sinister expression, "Hand over what you just took from that mountain rock, and we'll spare you this time. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Qi Shuyu sneered, "We can't trust the promises of Deer Cry Island. Aren't you just trying to take advantage of us? In that case, we might as well destroy this thing. No one will benefit from it."
However, she felt somewhat anxious in her heart. She had a life-saving jade talisman on her, so she had no worries. But her senior sisters couldn't say the same. If reinforcements didn't arrive, they might not survive.
The burly man angrily said, "Qi Fairy, you don't know what's good for you! Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace didn't have many people to begin with, yet you dare to compete with us for opportunities. Aren't you afraid of dying in the secret realm?"
A handsome young man in white licked his lips and said with a sinister tone, "Killing them all would be a pity. After all, they are a group of rare beauties. It would be better to capture them, let our senior brothers enjoy them, play with them, and then sell them. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Qi Shuyu's beautiful face turned icy cold, "Stop the nonsense and make your move! Even if we all die here today, we'll drag a few of you down with us. Let's see how capable you Deer Cry Island bastards really are."
The burly man sighed, "Since that's the case, then there's no other way!"
His original intention was to deceive Qi Shuyu into handing over the item first, and then take advantage of her unpreparedness to kill her and capture all these stunning female cultivators. Unfortunately, the other party didn't fall for it at all.
Now that they had pushed the other side to the brink of desperation, their own side would certainly win, but there would definitely be a considerable number of disciples who would die in the battle, which was somewhat regrettable.
"I think it's better for you bastards to die!" Qi Shuyu said.
In the distant sky, a starry ship flew rapidly and arrived in an instant.
In the next moment, thousands of dazzling sword lights descended from the sky, engulfing the figures of the Deer Cry Island cultivators, and screams resounded one after another.
Mistakes have been corrected.
