“Wang Qi, I’m truly struggling alone in the Charm Sect. The pressure is immense.”
Drip, drop! A few tears fell onto Wang Qi’s hand.
“I understand, your pressure is immense.” Wang Qi gently wiped away her tears, his gaze filled with unwavering determination. He gritted his teeth and declared, “Ruyan, I will definitely help you! The moment Demon Fox Ah Li appears, our Cloudrise Holy Land will capture her!”
Liu Ruyan sniffled, “Good, good.”
Before long, Wang Qi, now fully dressed, emerged from the room. Outside, several other men waited anxiously. Seeing Wang Qi, their faces showed undisguised envy. The Sealing Restriction on the room remained active! Without Liu Ruyan’s command, they wouldn’t dare step inside!
Wang Qi looked at the group. “Don’t forget your mission! This time, we are all here to help Senior Ruyan!” A flicker of light appeared in their dazed, clouded eyes. “Yes! Our lives belong to Senior Liu Ruyan!”
Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan sat cross-legged, her Spirit Seals shifting in her hands. Recalling the recent scenes with Wang Qi, a look of profound disgust twisted her features. She murmured to herself, “Men’s bodies truly sicken me!”
Yet, after only a few hours with Wang Qi, her Charm Arts had once again stirred his affections. Unbeknownst to him, Wang Qi was now completely under Liu Ruyan’s control! With this, she could sever her affections! Wang Qi was nothing more than a puppet!
In this Fallen Star Sea, there were countless Wang Qis. She only needed to use her Charm Arts to control their minds and bodies, then sever her affections, and she would gain massive cultivation feedback! Now, her Grand Severing Affections Heavenly Art allowed her to sever affections the moment a man fell for her and was under her control!
Liu Ruyan mused, “It’s a pity Wang Qi’s cultivation is too weak. He’s only a Six-star Supreme, so the cultivation feedback for me is minimal!”
“But the men in the Second Star Ring are all ancient foxes, old and cunning, far too difficult to control!”
“I must obtain Demon Fox Ah Li’s bloodline power. With it, I will undoubtedly become the most talented person in the entire Charm Sect!”
Liu Ruyan glanced outside the room, where Wang Qi and the others were eagerly awaiting her emergence. She let out a cold scoff. “All men in this world only desire my body; not a single one truly loves me… except for that one, Dao Yi.”
Dao Yi! Such a distant memory! Liu Ruyan took out a Spirit Sword. This Spirit Sword was originally a gift from Dao Yi. But after she attained Supreme, she struck at Dao Yi with it!
She regretted it now. If she had brought Dao Yi with her, she would be far beyond the One-rotation Star Venerate Realm! Dao Yi’s talent was truly heaven-defying! Even after cultivating for so long in the Fallen Star Sea, she felt Dao Yi’s talent was comparable to true monsters and prodigies!
Alas, ever since she broke through the boundary and left the Tai Chu Realm, the Tai Chu Realm had been untraceable within the Fallen Star Sea. She had also lost a portion of her memories. When she left back then, she had left a contingency, a wisp of obsession in the Tai Chu Realm! Only recently had there been activity from this wisp of obsession within the Tai Chu Realm. And the Tai Chu Realm had also appeared in the Fallen Star Sea. However, it was too far away! Near The Void!
Liu Ruyan sighed, “The Void is terrifying. It’s said there’s a Great Demon within it, named Kun, known as the Void Kun—an existence even Ancient Ancestors fear!”
With the Tai Chu Realm so close to The Void, her main body couldn’t risk going there. But she could send a Clone! Moreover, her main body was currently busy mediating with numerous powerful admirers from other major forces within the Charm Sect! She was very busy. Her main body couldn’t get away! Therefore, this was the Clone’s second mission! After obtaining Demon Fox Ah Li, she would escort it to the main body’s location, and then this Clone would head to the Tai Chu Realm! To find that wisp of obsession! And to bring Dao Yi out as well!
Liu Ruyan’s eyes gleamed faintly as she murmured, “I wonder how Dao Yi is doing now? Back then, I split his obsession into three. One part severed its emotions, another fell into a ‘void’ state, and the third still deeply loved me, but was severely injured and fled!”
“Dao Yi, throughout this entire Fallen Star Sea, you were still the kindest to me! I hope that when we meet again, you will still love me. I will treat you better! I know you will forgive me!”
A moment later, Liu Ruyan slowly rose, recalling that wisp of obsession. “This wisp of obsession has likely developed its own sentience, but as another Primordial Yin Body, she has walked the path I once did! She can become another one of my Clones!”
With this thought, Liu Ruyan was filled with anticipation for her journey to the Tai Chu Realm. “I am destined to become an Ancient Ancestor!”
She pushed open the door and stepped out, a bewitching smile gracing her lips. Seeing Liu Ruyan emerge in her long gown, Wang Qi and the others’ eyes went wide. One word: beautiful! Two words: absolutely stunning!
Liu Ruyan walked to the railing, leaning against it as she gazed into the distance. The stars shimmered, sometimes blazing, sometimes dim, the magnificent Star River stretching out like a vibrant painting. All eyes were fixed on Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan suddenly looked at Wang Qi. “How goes your investigation into the Tai Chu Realm?”
Wang Qi’s expression turned solemn. “I’m awaiting contact from the Ji Family Old Ancestors and the Ice Soul Realm elders. They have already gone to the Tai Chu Realm, but there’s been no response yet.”
“It’s merely a small realm, and it’s close to The Void. Although Senior Ruyan originated from there, there’s no need to worry.”
Hearing this, the other men’s faces subtly changed. The Void! It was a terrifying place! Even Ancient Ancestors feared it! A small realm close to The Void would soon be swept into its endless black hole by its destructive power.
Liu Ruyan said nothing, simply watching Wang Qi. Wang Qi immediately felt the pressure, and quickly took out an ancient jade slip, beginning to contact the Ji Family Old Ancestors. “Boom!” Brilliant Spirit Runes surged, and profound power began to well up.
Within Cloud City.
Lu Xuan and his disciples had already entered. Ji Fuyao and Xuanji Holy Lord looked around. It had to be said, Cloud City was incredibly prosperous, with towering pavilions lining the streets. They shimmered with divine radiance, sparkling with Dao patterns. The power emanating from these Dao patterns alone surpassed that of the strongest factions in the Tai Chu Realm’s major regions. The building materials of these pavilions would undoubtedly cause a massive stir in the Tai Chu Realm. This was the true foundation of Cloud City!
Soon after, Chen Changsheng summoned his two puppets: Ji Ruhai and Ji Qianshan. Back when Lu Xuan had killed these two Ji Family Old Ancestors, he had replaced them with puppets. Because they hadn’t brought back the beings from the Eastern Wilds, the two puppets had even received some punishment from Cloudrise Holy Land. However, Cloudrise Holy Land hadn’t truly cared about this mission’s failure. This was because Cloudrise Holy Land conquered several Star Realms every day, plundering a vast number of enslaved beings!
At this moment, Chen Changsheng suggested, “Master, let’s go check out the Beast Arena. It’s a specialty of Cloud City.”
