Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me

Taichu Hall.

Lu Jin'an was the first to step into the hall, while behind him, Qiu Qingtang shuffled forward slowly, her hands occasionally reaching back to touch her rear.

A pair of eyes watching Lu Jin'an's back bore a hint of resentment, soon turning to a clenching of teeth.

She had considered the possibility of punishment from Lu Jin'an, but believed it wouldn't be too harsh.

And the result?

Lu Jin'an seemed like he had achieved third place in the civil examination of the folk Dynasty, proud and unyielding to her pleas for mercy or a change in approach.

And so she ended up in such a state.

Walking was difficult enough, but the main issue was feeling stuck between up and down.

Yet Lu Jin'an was indifferent to this, justifying it as punishment.

This kind of punishment... was truly uncomfortable.

In the next moment of reflection, she felt a slap on her bottom, causing Qiu Qingtang's pink eyes to widen as she jumped aside, startled into sitting on the floor: "What are you doing?"

Qiu Qingtang glared furiously at Mu Qingyue, who tilted her head as if in sudden realization, "Master, you've reached this point too."

Qiu Qingtang immediately scoffed, "Do you think I want this?"

"Does that mean you made a mistake?" Mu Qingyue squatted in front of Qiu Qingtang, "What mistake makes Junior Brother treat you like this, truly..."

Mu Qingyue swallowed the words "envy" that almost slipped out.

Qiu Qingtang would never, nor have the face to admit it.

Being dissatisfied with 'Lu Pei' was a low chance, but being laughed at was high indeed.

Such matters, she would rather die than speak them out!

"It's fine." Qiu Qingtang averted her gaze, "Young Master Lu just recovered from illness and opened the tenth Dao Palace, wanting some excitement, can I refuse?"

Mu Qingyue didn't believe this explanation and was about to ask further when she saw Lu Jin'an, who had just entered, hurriedly return with Pei Wanyu and the others behind him.

What happened?

Mu Qingyue pondered, but didn't ask as she stood and followed.

Qiu Qingtang glanced over, then lay back down on the floor, not moving, figuring that she wouldn't be of any use anyway, better obediently doing what Lu Jin'an said.

Chang'an Domain, Path of Descent

With Lu Jin'an's arrival, the humans quickly stepped aside, creating a path for Lu Jin'an to move to the forefront.

Watching the black gas wafting out and the environment eroded by the surrounding nature's spiritual energy, Lu Jin'an frowned slightly.

From Huang Ningshang, he learned that Lu Yunzhu brought back the bodies of Zhu Tianqi and Li Chengshi to Hidden Life Mountain, but only brought them back, so why was there dark matter seeping out of the Fan Space Gate?

Recalling the previous words of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, Lu Jin'an figured the battle in Outer Heaven might have already begun—if so...

"Can't go in?"

"Sect Master, it cannot be entered." Ji Wenchang quickly replied, "Even Shangguan Pavilion Master's power using the Heavenly Observation Mirror couldn't budge this door in the slightest.

Neither entrance nor exit is possible, only some similar dark matter to the Southern Realm keeps spilling out, fortunately not much, contained by the Jiangshan Map to prevent it from spreading."

Lu Jin'an nodded slightly, the Dao Domain around him transforming into a sword imbued with Space-Time Path, stabbing straight in, only to halt halfway once the blade entered the space gate, unable to proceed.

'Older sister's spiritual power...'

Lu Jin'an squinted slightly, contemplating before ordering, "Inform the Demon Clan to destroy their Ancient Court; all Demon Clan members of the Ancient Court must descend to the Lower Realm, and those above the Demon Emperor must await here. If they refuse, the consequences shall be borne by them!"

Ji Wenchang bowed and hurried away.

"Master, accompany me home for a while."

······

Hidden Life Mountain.

Within the Immortal Dynasty's Immortal Court, a sea of blood.

Amidst the blood sea, a mountain of corpses floated, faces of terror and confusion frozen from the moment of death, as if witnessing something horrifying.

Above the sea of blood, blood pearls exuding myriad colors floated, sparkling like stars in the sky, forming a stark and eerie contrast with the blood sea.

"Is this your Human Clan's Source Blood?"

Black fog surged, a deep voice emerged, "No more than blood with some innate spiritual energy talent, just allowing those with such blood to progress faster, that's all."

On the eaves of the Immortal Court Palace, Lu Yunzhu in a red dress stood with hands behind her back, her tone calm, "This 'faster' endows the Human Clan with self-defensive ability, gradually acquiring capital to contend with other races, and achieving the status of Cloud Peak Master today.

Your restriction of this place's nature's spiritual energy is merely because your power is at a higher level, else the restraining relationship would be swapped."

Pausing, Lu Yunzhu continued, "Like the initial relationship between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, now you are in the Demon Clan's position, sealing everything here."

The black fog turned back, "You've seen outside?"

"No, but I know." Lu Yunzhu gazed at the floating Source Blood in the sky, "It's not hard to guess."

"Brilliant." The black fog clapped its hands, "In that fortress, whether Demon Clan or you Humans, though rules were set against ascension, it's simply because they lack the means to ascend to a true place."

"No need for such nonsense, all can be speculated." Lu Yunzhu taunted, "I know what you want, like when the Human Clan was declining, dispersing to various places to dodge, forming today's territory by surrounding."

"Is that comparable?"

"History is just a cycle, the essence remains unchanged." Lu Yunzhu laughed coldly, "Wisdom isn't exclusive to you!"
