69: I thought I'd be watching you dominate the battlefield, but it turns out I'll have to step in.

After parting ways with her three Senior Brothers and Sisters, Ye Feiyan and Xuan Mo were like fish released into the ocean, completely letting loose.

“Xuan Mo,” Ye Feiyan said, observing the bizarre “underwater” scenery around them with vigilance, while communicating her next plan to Xuan Mo through their Pseudo-Contract, “The Tidal Palace’s Legacy, for me, is merely icing on the cake, dispensable.”

A chilling glint flickered in her clear, cold phoenix eyes.

“My true objective is only for two things—”

“Powerful Third Grade Sea Yao Beasts, or… Golden Core Demonic Cultivators with ill intentions!”

“Only by devouring their vital blood and Golden Cores can my Myriad Dao Furnace Scripture advance further! Only then can my cultivation increase at the fastest possible speed again!”

If these decisive and murderous words were heard by others, they would surely be astonished and regard her as a Demonic Path fiendess.

However, Xuan Mo was extremely pleased after hearing them.

“Good.”

He only replied with one word, but it was filled with endless appreciation and support.

This is more like it!

This is how a Reborn Empress, betrayed by all and determined to return to the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, should be!

…Just as the person and the snake finalized this “wolf-cries-wolf” hunting plan and were about to search for their first unlucky victim.

Behind a massive coral forest not far away, more than a dozen figures filled with bloodlust and Evil Qi slowly emerged.

The leader was a sinister-looking, blood-robed youth, toying with a scarlet dagger in his hand, his eyes like venomous snakes, locking deadly onto Ye Feiyan.

His cultivation had astonishingly reached the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

“Heh heh… Heh heh heh…”

The blood-robed youth looked at Ye Feiyan, a bloodthirsty and cruel smile appearing on his face.

“I searched high and low, but found nothing; now, without effort, it comes to me.”

He extended his tongue, licked his scarlet lips, and said in a hoarse voice, “Ye Family qilin child, the fourth Personal Disciple under Immortal Master Jinyun, Ye Feiyan?”

“Not only that, she possesses a Heavenly Spiritual Root, was once crippled in the Ye Family, yet miraculously rose again.”

“She has a Second Grade contracted Yao Beast, the Black Mysterious Snake.”

“Furthermore, she is also the Pavilion Master of Feiyan Pavilion, a Second Grade Alchemist.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Feiyan paused, and a cold glint also flashed in her clear, cold phoenix eyes.

“It seems you are here specifically for me.”

“Indeed!” The blood-robed youth named Blood Overlord admitted with a sinister grin, “The Sect has ordered that during this trip to the Tidal Palace, all Personal Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect are to be left alive! And you, Ye Feiyan, are the number one target on our kill list!”

“Oh?”

Ye Feiyan sneered inwardly after hearing this.

Interesting.

She was just worried about not finding suitable “cultivation resources.”

Unexpectedly, some had actively delivered themselves to her doorstep.

She knew that the Blood Fiend Sect was a notorious Demonic Path Sect in the East Sea.

Its Disciples loved to use the vital blood of Cultivators to enhance their cultivation, employing cruel methods, often slaughtering innocent Cultivators. Even when they couldn't find Cultivators, they would cast their wicked gaze upon defenseless Mortals!

Towards such a Sect, she naturally would not show the slightest mercy.

However, before acting, she still needed to confirm some information.

“I’m very curious,” she looked at Blood Overlord and asked calmly, “Besides your Sect Leader, how many Golden Core Realm Cultivators has the Blood Fiend Sect sent this time?”

Blood Overlord was first taken aback, clearly not expecting this prey, who in his eyes was already a dead man, to still have the leisure to ask such a question.

However, he still smiled cruelly, answering in a mocking tone, like a cat playing with a mouse: “It doesn’t matter if I tell you!”

“Our Blood Fiend Sect has sent out all its elites this time! Besides the Sect Leader, all four Golden Core Elders of the Sect are present!”

“The goal is to wipe out all of you so-called Geniuses from the Beast Taming Sect in one fell swoop!”

“So, little beauty, don’t even think anyone will come to save you. Today, you are doomed to die!”

However, after hearing his threatening words, Ye Feiyan’s face showed no trace of panic.

She merely nodded slowly, and said softly in a calm tone, as if stating a fact.

“Five Golden Cores, huh…”

“Hmm, enough to kill.”

“???”

As soon as these words came out, Blood Overlord and the Blood Fiend Sect Disciples behind him were all stunned.

Enough… enough to kill?

Had this woman been scared silly, and started talking nonsense?

However, before they could react.

Ye Feiyan had already made her move!

Boom—!!!!!!!

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding Foundation Establishment, filled with the supreme Dao charm of “Golden Immortality,” truly belonging to the Early Golden Core Stage, erupted from her petite body!

“Golden… Golden Core Realm?!”

The sinister grin on Blood Overlord’s face instantly froze!

He looked at the white figure that appeared before him as if teleporting, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets!

How could this be?!

According to their Blood Fiend Sect’s intelligence, Ye Feiyan had only just successfully reached Foundation Establishment when she joined the Beast Taming Sect!

Now, only a little over two months had passed!

How… how could she have rocketed from a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator directly to the Early Golden Core Stage?!

What the hell, is she even letting others live?!

A powerful, deadly sense of crisis instantly swallowed all his rationality!

Without thinking, he unhesitatingly pulled out a terrifying Talisman from his embrace, entirely blood-red and inscribed with countless resentful Soul runes!

blood talisman!

Sealed within this blood talisman was the full-force strike of their Blood Fiend Sect’s Nascent Soul Old Ancestor!

It was his greatest trump card for preserving his life on this trip!

“Not good!”

The moment the blood talisman appeared, Ye Feiyan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat! A terrifying threat, enough to make even her Soul tremble, instantly enveloped her entire body!

“Heh heh… Heh heh heh…”

Blood Overlord looked at Ye Feiyan’s instantly solemn pretty face and once again let out that cruel, sinister laugh, like a night owl!

“Ye Feiyan! I admit, you are indeed a Prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years!”

“But, precisely because of this!”

“You, must die!”

As his words fell, he fiercely activated the blood talisman in his hand!

Buzz—!

A terrifying bloody light, enough to make heaven and earth lose their color, suddenly erupted from the Talisman!

Just at this critical moment.

A sigh, full of helplessness and laziness, slowly sounded in Ye Feiyan’s ear.

The small black snake, which had been ignored by everyone, had shrunk its size, and quietly coiled on her shoulder, slowly raised its head.

“Sigh, I thought I’d get to watch you rampage, but it seems I still have to make a move.”

The sigh came from Xuan Mo. After speaking, it looked at Ye Feiyan and prodded, “Little girl, you really need to work harder.”

The moment its words fell.

The supreme strike of the Nascent Soul Old Ancestor, sealed within the blood talisman, capable of easily obliterating any Golden Core Cultivator, arrived in an instant!
