394: Chapter 394 Woman in Red Dress

The woman's eyebrows were dark and elegant, her skin like congealed jade, and her brows shaped like willow leaves. Beneath her high-bridged nose, her lips were adorned with striking, bright red rouge, making her extremely eye-catching. Yet, her beauty was grand and dignified, her temperament noble, carrying an invisible sense of pressure.

Feng Zizhen caught a glimpse of a striking red out of the corner of his eye. He turned around to look, and his heart instantly skipped a beat!

"Sect Master!"

Feng Zizhen hurriedly bowed in greeting.

The woman in the red dress did not reply. Her gaze was fixed on Ji Taichang, seemingly lost in thought.

Feng Zizhen praised casually, "This kid's strength is extraordinary. Not only can he overpower Luo Yulian, but under full force, he can actually wound the Chiqi Beast and fight it to a standstill. For such a Prodigy to join our Benlei Sect is truly a blessing from the heavens..."

Without turning her head, the woman in the red dress suddenly said out of the blue, "He is hiding his strength. At most, he has used less than fifty percent of his power."

Her voice was warm and gentle, carrying a high-and-mighty indifference, yet it did not sound cold.

"Less than fifty percent?!"

Feng Zizhen was shocked upon hearing this. "This... how is that possible! Unless... his true cultivation is not the Earth Immortal Realm shown on the surface, but at least the first level of the True Immortal Realm!"

Ji Taichang had always been using his Double-Pupil Immortal Eyes to conceal his cultivation and Aura. Only during battle would a trace of immortal power fluctuate. Ordinary Cultivators could not see through his true cultivation at all.

What's more, Feng Zizhen was outside the Secret Realm and could not sense it personally from a close distance. He could only roughly judge that Ji Taichang was at the Earth Immortal Realm.

"No, he is indeed in the Earth Immortal Realm."

The woman in the red dress shook her head slightly.

Feng Zizhen opened his mouth, his mind buzzing.

With an Earth Immortal Realm cultivation, using less than fifty percent of his strength, he could crush Luo Yulian and go head-to-head with a third-level True Immortal Realm Chiqi Beast...

If he went all out, wouldn't he be absolutely unstoppable?

Wait, does this even make sense??

Such formidable and terrifying strength had already exceeded Feng Zizhen's comprehension!

But Feng Zizhen knew that with the Sect Master's strength and discernment, she probably wouldn't be mistaken.

"With such Heaven-Defying strength, I'm afraid even an Immortal Venerable mighty figure in their youth was only on par with this, right?"

"No, wait!"

"Such a Prodigy could never have grown up in the wild. He must have been nurtured by some ancient and terrifying orthodox lineage. Why would such a Prodigy take an interest in our Benlei Sect?"

"Sect Master, do you think there might be some trickery involved?"

Feng Zizhen couldn't help but speak in a low voice, feeling somewhat suspicious and uneasy.

"If he dares to come, I dare to accept him. What is there to fear?"

The woman in the red dress picked up the wine gourd at her waist and took a swig. Her fiery red lips became a bit more moist and lustrous, looking even more alluring.

...

[Ding! Pei Yuening's favorability increased by 5 points]

[Pei Yuening's favorability: 5 (A surprise awaits when favorability reaches 100)]

A System notification suddenly rang out in Ji Taichang's mind.

Ji Taichang swept his gaze around out of the corner of his eye and found that many Cultivators had already been drawn by the commotion of the battle here, observing secretly from afar. However, Ji Taichang didn't know who this Pei Yuening was either.

Whoosh—

Just then, wisps of water vapor spread out from the ground, filled with a green glow. Like water snakes, they instantly wrapped around Ji Taichang's legs, causing his body to stiffen. He was forced to take a claw strike from the Chiqi Beast head-on.

Ji Taichang suddenly turned his head and saw Luo Yulian forming a hand seal, her eyes filled with defiance, as if saying, 'Hit me if you dare!'

"I don't have time to mess around with you."

Ji Taichang lost his patience.

When the Chiqi Beast launched another attack, a mysterious immortal light flashed and vanished in Ji Taichang's eyes, causing the Chiqi Beast's movements to suddenly freeze for a moment.

Ji Taichang accelerated instantly, moving like a phantom as if teleporting. In the blink of an eye, he appeared on the Chiqi Beast's back, ripped off the collar around its neck, and swept away all of the over one thousand leiming tokens!

"Hmm?!"

In Leiming City.

The eyes of the woman in the red dress narrowed!

"That immortal light just now..."

Unfortunately, she was not inside the Secret Realm. Through the projection of the Heavenly Eye Array, she could not clearly see what kind of power Ji Taichang had used.

"Damn it! My leiming tokens..."

Seeing this, Luo Yulian bit her lip tightly, a look of unwillingness appearing in her eyes.

She had fought hard against the Chiqi Beast for so long, only for the leiming tokens to be snatched away by Ji Taichang, while she herself had taken a beating for nothing...

Just then.

After taking the leiming tokens, Ji Taichang decisively turned around and headed straight for Luo Yulian!

Seeing the sneer on Ji Taichang's face, Luo Yulian panicked instantly, feeling a faint ache in her swollen backside.

"H-He still wants to hit me?!"

"With so many people watching here... absolutely not!"

Luo Yulian hurriedly turned around and fled.

"Mystic Yin Binding!"

Just then, Qin Shishi suddenly cast a hand seal. The power of her Mystic Yin Physique erupted completely. The temperature of the world plummeted, and an astonishing chill surged from all directions, causing Luo Yulian to shiver. She felt her entire immortal power freeze, locking her in place!

Ji Taichang quickly rushed in front of Luo Yulian. Showing no mercy, he wrapped one arm around her slender waist, raised his hand, and delivered several slaps.

"No... don't hit me there!"

"Wu..."

Luo Yulian's face was filled with terror, but deep in her eyes lay a trace of anticipation and excitement that she herself hadn't even noticed.

Smack!

Smack, smack!!

Accompanied by the crisp sounds, those two soft mounds bounced up and down with astonishing elasticity.

This scene caused the Cultivators of various forces in Leiming City to boil over once again.

"No—"

"Fairy Luo is actually being held down and beaten?!"

"You bastard, let go of my goddess and let me do it!!"

In the Leiming Secret Realm, many Cultivators had already gathered around. Seeing this scene, their eyes nearly split with rage!

Those who could participate in the Apprentice Recruitment Ceremony were all Geniuses of the younger generation, at an age when they were young and hot-blooded.

Many male Cultivators saw Luo Yulian being humiliated, and their eyes instantly turned red with anger. They let out roars one after another and rushed toward Ji Taichang.

Seeing this, Luo Yulian felt her entire body trembling, the blush on her face spreading all the way down to her neck.

Although she had been beaten by Ji Taichang before, at least no one around had seen it then. This time, however, it was in broad daylight...

She didn't know how many times more intense this feeling of stimulation was!

[Ding! Luo Yulian's favorability increased by 10 points. Currently unable to obtain 10% of Young Master Shen Anlin's cultivation/abilities]

[Luo Yulian's favorability: 40 (A surprise awaits when favorability reaches 100!)]

"Roar!!"

Just then, the Chiqi Beast let out an earth-shattering roar, flames soaring to the sky all over its body, looking incredibly fierce and malevolent!

The Chiqi Beast had fought for so long yet couldn't even take down these few Human Race ants, and they actually dared to flirt right in front of it!

The Chiqi Beast was so angry that its eyes turned red. It stomped violently on the ground, its violent and terrifying power causing the earth to shake violently. Dust flew as a huge crater appeared, and it charged toward Ji Taichang like a falling meteor!

That violent and terrifying Aura made the hair of those male Cultivators who were rushing over stand on end. Terrified, they turned and fled at the first opportunity, no longer daring to risk their lives to save the beauty.
