Give me fifty pills first to see my strength.

"Junior Sister Ji, I was only joking before, please do not take it to heart."

Shen Wuji forced himself to stay alert, managing a dry smile, "Besides, I have already been exposed as an impostor by the people of Falling Cloud Valley and was severely injured by a Spirit Transformation Realm Array Spirit. Even in that critical moment, I did not drag you down with me."

"Considering that I did not ruin your plans, how about you spare your Senior Brother this time?"

At this moment, he was both shocked and terrified, yet he still referred to himself as Senior Brother, desperately trying to appear harmless in an attempt to awaken some non-existent compassion within her.

As a Disciple of the Yin Sha Sect, he knew all too well the style of conduct of the Yin Sha Sect's people.

Although the Yin Sha Sect never encouraged its Genius Disciples to kill each other, it did not forbid it either...

Moreover, this place was thousands of miles away from the Yin Sha Sect. By the time the Sect discovered that the soul lamp of its True Disciple had extinguished and sent people to investigate, his funeral would have already passed. What could they possibly find then!

If it were possible, he would rather encounter one hundred Righteous Path experts right now than face this Junior Sister from his own Sect.

"Heh, you still have the nerve to say you didn't ruin my plans?!"

As the words fell, a slender and graceful figure stepped slowly out from the darkness of the underground.

She was dressed in a gorgeous purple gown; her skin was whiter than snow, and her features were as beautiful as a painting. She resembled a purple mandala flower blooming in the dark night, breathtakingly beautiful.

In ordinary circumstances, upon seeing such a stunning woman, the lecherous Shen Wuji would have at least teased her a few times. Now, however, he didn't even dare to take a second look, fearing he might anger this ruthless witch.

Shen Wuji lowered his head, pleading incessantly:

"Junior Sister Ji, this time it was indeed my fault. If you can spare my life, I will immediately swear a Heart Demon oath to never be your enemy in this life."

"Also, during this time, I have extorted quite a few False Dao Sects under the name of the Celestial Pole Dao Son and gained a lot. I am now willing to gift everything I have obtained to you, Junior Sister. What do you think?"

Under the threat of death, his voice trembled, and large beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.

"Spare your life?"

Hearing this, a cold arc appeared on Ji Chan'er's lips, and her tone became increasingly chilling, "If you hadn't come in to disrupt things, I wouldn't have had to leave Falling Cloud Valley to find Granny Qi and have her arrange matters to deal with you."

"Had I stayed there, that thing would not have escaped so easily, and I wouldn't have fallen into an illusion, suffering a great loss due to a momentary lapse in vigilance."

"It can be said that everything started because of you. If I don't kill you, how can I quell the hatred in my heart!"

What?!

Although Shen Wuji was bewildered by what he heard, he sensed the murderous intent in her words. His body shook violently, and he gritted his teeth, saying:

"Ji Chan'er, don't forget that I am the direct descendant of the Shen Clan. If you kill me, my father will certainly not let this rest. Do you want the Ji and Shen families to go to war?"

Ji Chan'er sneered coldly, "Stop putting on an act. You are not qualified to incite a war between the two families."

"Your father doesn't only have you as a son. If you die, your brothers might even thank me."

After speaking, she lightly raised her slender hand, and her fair fingertip tapped gently in the air.

Pfft—

A bloody hole instantly bloomed between Shen Wuji's eyebrows, and his eyes dimmed immediately.

Before dying, his face maintained an expression of disbelief. Even in death, he still did not understand what he had done wrong, or why Ji Chan'er was so determined to kill him.

After dealing with Shen Wuji, Ji Chan'er opened her palm and skillfully extracted his soul.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Amidst bursts of shrill, tragic shrieks, Shen Wuji's soul instantly vanished into thin air; even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal descending to earth could not save him.

Following this, Ji Chan'er quickly cast a ball of spiritual fire, which soon refined Shen Wuji's corpse into nothingness, leaving no trace behind—not even a speck of ash.

She searched a few more times carefully, and after confirming that the scene had been cleaned up thoroughly, she let out a sigh of relief and picked up a storage bracelet covered with exquisite patterns from the ground.

"After killing you, these things of yours are still mine."

Ji Chan'er muttered to herself, then casually wiped away the imprint Shen Wuji had left on it, probed it with her Divine Sense, and began to examine it carefully.

The next moment, her eyes brightened, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on her face.

This Shen Wuji had no idea how many Sects he had extorted; his net worth was actually so abundant!

With these resources, she could easily exchange for a Nine-Refinement Illusion God Pill outside and achieve the Thousand-Illusion Heavenly Demon Physique...

... Meanwhile. Falling Cloud Valley.

"Ding! The Host has completed the main quest: survive the Falling Cloud Valley crisis and expose all the Demon Sect spies hidden within Falling Cloud Valley. Reward: 800 Counterattack Points, Senior Sister Bai Xirou's favor towards the Host has increased, Heaven-Grade Dual Cultivation Technique 'Yin Yang Transformation Scripture'..."

Accompanying the System's notification, Qi Yuan immediately noticed that the way Bai Xirou, who was beside him, looked at him was somewhat off; the tenderness and affection within her eyes were almost overflowing...

"Junior Brother Qi, thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you exposing that sinister and vicious Demon Cultivator and rooting out the traitors within the Sect, our Falling Cloud Valley would definitely have suffered heavy losses."

At this moment, Bai Xirou's eyes were red-rimmed and teary as she looked at him, speaking words of gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

"Not only that, if you hadn't helped resolve the Heart Demon of the Array Spirit Senior, the Array Spirit Senior would not have intervened in time to save us, and my father might have been killed."

The more Bai Xirou spoke, the more she felt that the man before her had shown her immense kindness. For a moment, unable to restrain her emotions, she suddenly threw herself into Qi Yuan's arms, weeping like rain on a pear blossom.

Qi Yuan suddenly felt an intoxicating fragrance drill into his nostrils. Coupled with a warm, soft body pressing tightly against him, he couldn't help but stiffen all over. Frightened, he hurriedly restrained his thoughts, silently reciting that he was a righteous gentleman.

He didn't know why, but every time he had contact with Bai Xirou, he would develop a feeling of being unable to hold himself back.

Could it be... that this Senior Sister of Falling Cloud Valley has some special Physique?

He possessed the Innate Pure Yang Dao Physique. This Physique naturally had astonishing blood energy and vigorous Yang Qi, allowing for extremely fast progress in cultivation, and it held a natural attraction for certain women with special Physiques.

In public, Qi Yuan didn't dare to continue thinking about it. To avoid making a fool of himself on the spot, he gently pushed Bai Xirou out of his arms and changed the subject:

"Senior Sister, you should go check on your father first. He was afflicted by Devilish Qi earlier, but with the Array Spirit Senior's treatment, he should wake up very soon."

Hearing this, Bai Xirou was suddenly jolted awake. She nodded with a flushed face, then turned and left with hurried steps to go take care of the unconscious Bai Qingwu.

"Big brother."

As soon as Bai Xirou left, Pu Genshuo impatiently crowded up to him, his gaze full of envy as he looked at Qi Yuan, "I didn't expect that although you look ordinary and have low cultivation, you are a veteran among flowers. To easily win over such a beauty—you are truly amazing!"

With your appearance, you have the nerve to say I look ordinary?

Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow in disdain and said coldly:

"If you aren't going to look for the things you lost, why are you coming to me?"

Pu Genshuo first gave a mysterious smile, then adjusted his robes with all seriousness, and said with a solemn and earnest face:

"Big brother, let's get to know each other again. This humble one is none other than Pu Genshuo, the Celestial Pole Dao Son of the Tianji Holy Land. The Five-Colored Heavenly Splendor Token you received is the one I lost. Please take it out and return it to me."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Qi Yuan glanced at him with a fake smile, "There are too many scammers these days. Our Falling Cloud Valley almost suffered a great loss just now. You say you are the Celestial Pole Dao Son, but do you have any proof?"

Pu Genshuo became anxious immediately, "I am Pu Genshuo. How else do you want me to prove it?"

Then, not knowing what he thought of, he hurriedly said:

"The two Disciples from the Tianji Holy Land will be here soon. You can just ask them."

"When did I ever say those two people were Disciples of the Tianji Holy Land?"

Qi Yuan sneered and unceremoniously poured cold water on him, saying loudly, "I only said they were Holy Land Disciples before; I never said they were Disciples of the Tianji Holy Land. In reality, those two were Disciples of the Taixuan Holy Land. How could they possibly know the Celestial Pole Dao Son?"

"Ah?!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked once again. Their gazes toward Qi Yuan were full of disbelief, all looking as if they had never seen the world before.

Good heavens! So that Demon Cultivator was actually tricked to death by someone...

Hearing this, Pu Genshuo's expression also froze, and he asked with a conflicted face:

"Then you tell me, what should I do to prove that I am the Celestial Pole Dao Son..."

Qi Yuan smiled faintly, and his tone also became warm:

"I have long heard that the Heaven-Grade Medicinal Pill produced by the Tianji Holy Land, the heavenly apex body forging pill, is extremely precious and cannot be used by anyone without a noble status. If you can give me fifty pills first to prove your strength, then I will believe you are the Celestial Pole Dao Son."

"You want the heavenly apex body forging pill?!"

Hearing this, Pu Genshuo's eyelid twitched wildly...
