Cherish life, stay away from the demonic sect.

The next day.

Yongli City.

Inside a magnificent Immortal Manor Inn.

The Heaven-grade Room.

Cloud-like gauze curtains swayed slightly under the blowing of wisps of light breeze. The night-luminescent pearls on the walls shed bursts of hazy fluorescence, casting two slightly blurred figures onto a screen embroidered with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, which shook in a messy fashion.

After omitting ten thousand words, Qi Yuan collapsed comfortably onto the soft couch, his thoughts somewhat complicated.

This enchantress would rather believe that I've had plastic surgery than suspect that I am the Dao Child of Tai Xuan. What should I do?

Not far away, Ji Chan'er lay on her side with a lazy posture. In her peach blossom eyes, ripples of autumn waves flowed, still retaining some lingering romantic charm. Her jade-white cheeks were flushed like wine, delicate and dripping.

Seeing this scene, a certain someone was again a bit restless. However, fortunately, he still remembered his purpose for coming here and asked:

"Fairy Ji, what do you think of that imposter?"

At this moment, his voice was slightly heavy, looking like he was over-exhausted.

Hearing his inquiry, Ji Chan'er also came back to her senses from her trance. She tucked a few strands of black hair falling from her forehead behind her ear and said casually:

"That person was able to withstand my Soul Search, so he can be considered to have some unique traits."

"His mouth was also quite tough. Being able to hold out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn under the Yin Sha Sect's Soul Burning and Bone Grinding methods, he could be called a tough guy in the entire Cultivation World."

"It's just that his brain isn't very bright, actually daring to lie in front of me."

"The Yin Sha Sect has plenty of secret methods for interrogating enemies. Never mind a tough guy, even if it were a piece of rock, it would be refined into dross. In the end, didn't he still cry and obediently tell the truth..."

Holy crap, heartless!

At this moment, Qi Yuan couldn't help but silently observe three seconds of silence for that unlucky fellow.

He even fooled Liyuan Holy Land, proving that his disguise was actually very successful. Unfortunately, he encountered a headstrong enchantress who went straight to torture without reasoning with him at all.

Looking into it closely, that guy really did possess the Physical Body of another Qi Yuan, so it was barely a case of the same person but a different soul. He himself was a complete fake, having nothing to do with the Original Owner.

Although the process was a bit absurd, by a strange stroke of luck, this enchantress actually managed to interrogate the truth. One can only say that the Heavenly Dao has its cycles of Reincarnation, and the heavens spare no one... "In short, the true culprit who exterminated the Qi Family is the Loose Cultivator Han Lie."

While speaking, Ji Chan'er sat up straight. Her jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, revealing a perfect and slender neck and fair, rounded shoulders. Her skin was smooth and her face beautiful, charming and seductive.

"If it weren't for your little fiancée Qin Lingxue coming to disrupt things, I would have already captured him and brought him before you."

"Before leaving, I had planted a very hidden Heavenly Demon Mark on Han Lie, but for some reason, the mark suddenly disappeared this morning."

"So, currently, I have lost that person's location. If you want to find the enemy who exterminated your Family, go ask Qin Lingxue."

Ji Chan'er casually put on her dress, covering her curvaceous body. She turned her head to glance at the pensive Qi Yuan and said with a cold expression:

"Qi Yuan, I promised to investigate the truth of the Qi Family's extermination. Now that the matter has come to light, the remaining things have nothing to do with me."

"No matter how weird that Han Lie is, he is just a mere Qi Refining Realm Cultivator. You've already reached Foundation Establishment. If you can't even deal with him, you're not worthy of being my, Ji Chan'er's, man. You'd deserve to die."

Then, she took out a dark green longsword from her storage bracelet and threw it in front of Qi Yuan:

"This sword came from Han Lie. It seems capable of devouring a Cultivator's essence blood to feed back to the wielder. It's clearly not from a righteous path; it might even be a Demonic Weapon."

"You can use it as a clue, or keep it for yourself. Anyway, with your trash Aptitude, if you only Cultivate step-by-step, who knows how long it will take to reach Core Formation. You might as well try another path."

She paused and continued to add:

"Of course, you must use it cautiously. Don't let the demonic nature within the sword cloud your mind..."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression was a bit strange.

Demonic Weapon?

Good grief!

This enchantress is really convinced I'm a natural-born Devil Head, isn't she?

However, he still took the longsword and observed it carefully in his palm for a long while, only to find that this sword was ordinary and unremarkable, without the slightest fluctuation of magic power, let alone any demonic nature.

If put on the market, it could probably only be sold as scrap iron. He couldn't see anything special about it at all.

He casually put the sword away and said with a smile:

"Thank you for the sword, Fairy Ji. This Qi is deeply grateful and will surely repay you in the future."

As he spoke, his large hands dishonestly wrapped around her slender waist again.

Ji Chan'er glanced at him indifferently but didn't break free. Instead, she curled up quietly in his arms and said softly:

"In two months, it will be our Ji Clan Ancestor's 80,000th birthday."

"As a Junior, I must return to the Yin Sha Sect immediately to help the Family prepare for the birthday celebration. How about... you come with me?"

Huh?

As soon as these words were spoken, a certain someone, who was originally immersed in the gentle embrace, was suddenly startled, and his face turned slightly pale.

Are you kidding me!

The dignified Dao Child of Tai Xuan, running to the Demonic Sect's nest to celebrate the Ji Clan Ancestor's 80,000th birthday—isn't that like a sheep entering a tiger's den?

Although he had the "Pretending to be a Pig to Eat the Tiger" talent, that Ji Clan Ancestor was a top-tier powerhouse at the Mahayana Peak. He could probably see through his background at a glance.

If his identity were exposed, the people of the Baleful Yin Sect would probably go crazy with joy.

Picking up a Dao Child for free just by holding a birthday banquet—this would be a first since the beginning of time. In the Cultivation World, it would definitely be explosive news... Thinking of this, Qi Yuan smiled awkwardly and declined:

"Fairy Ji, this... I still have to avenge the Qi Family, so I can't get away for the time being."

"Besides, you know me. I've always acted low-key and in a steady manner. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous to walk with a favored daughter of heaven like you who attracts everyone's attention?"

"Fairy Ji, as one of the Four Great Beauties of the Holy Land, you have countless followers. If I were targeted by those demonic Cultivators who admire you, I'm afraid I'd be hunted to death in the future..."

Upon hearing this，Ji Chan'er raised an eyebrow，Without any hesitation, he exposed her.：

"Even I have almost been eaten clean by you, and you still have the face to say you act in a steady manner?"

"As for safety issues, you just need to stay by my side with peace of mind. With me around, no one will dare to touch a single hair on your head!"

Over here, Qi Yuan was already sweating profusely.

It sounds easy, but if those demonic Cultivators really knew my identity, never mind a true Disciple like you, even if you were the Sect Master of the Demonic Sect, it wouldn't help.

Since ancient times, good and evil have been irreconcilable. This isn't just a joke.

After a moment of contemplation, Qi Yuan managed to force a smile and said solemnly:

"Since Fairy Ji has spoken, I will naturally obey."

"However, although This Qi is obscure and of low status, I also understand the principle of reciprocity. As the man of the Ji Clan's direct daughter, I certainly cannot go empty-handed to the Old Ancestor's birthday."

"Why don't you go back first? Once I have prepared a gift to present to the Old Ancestor, I will visit the Yin Sha Sect in person."

Hearing this reason, Ji Chan'er's expression immediately softened. She looked deeply at Qi Yuan and said softly:

"Our Ji Clan will certainly not covet your gift, but since you have this intention, I cannot go against it. I'll do as you say."

"You don't need to get anything too precious this time. Just do what you can."

After speaking, she took out another storage bracelet from her sleeve and pressed it into Qi Yuan's hand:

"Use these cultivation resources for now. There is also a token inside, which is a keepsake of our Ji Clan."

"After encountering Yin Sha Sect Disciples, you only need to show the token, and no one will dare to make things difficult for you..."

After taking the storage bracelet, Qi Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, as long as he could brush her off for now.

When the time comes, he can completely find an excuse saying he can't get away and then ask someone to deliver a gift to the Demonic Sect.

As for himself.

Cherish life, stay away from the Demonic Sect!
