In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 421 Sect Leader Ruan, my Azure Dragon is here! (3K)

"Uh...it doesn't sound very strong."

Qi Hanyue made a very Versailles-esque statement.

She asked with a serious expression:

"So, does that mean all we need to do is ask my mother's alter ego to take action, and all the problems will be solved?"

"Judging by the time, her avatar should be almost fully charged."

Su Yuan thought for a moment and said:

“Theoretically, it is possible, but the task of conquering the Cold Plum World should have been completed by my teacher. It would be inappropriate for Senior Wuluo to take action.”

"Furthermore, even if we take a step back, Senior Wuluo's avatar is not currently in the Cold Plum World. Reaching this world requires crossing the world barrier, which is not an easy task."

Hearing Su Yuan say this, Qi Hanyue thought it made sense, so she asked again:

"If we can't ask for outside help, how are we supposed to take down that Governor of the South? I feel like he's probably at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage."

Su Yuan: "I'm afraid it's more than that. Ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul experts can't instantly kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like Blood Soul True Monarch. If nothing unexpected happens, this person already has the cultivation of the eighth or even ninth level of Nascent Soul."

In comparison, Tai Bai Tianji was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, while Ruan Pingcui, who was barely considered to be on their side, was only a severely injured first-level Nascent Soul cultivator.

Not to mention that Governor Nan has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and countless Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Cold Plum World are his people.

In comparison, the difference in combat strength between the two sides is truly appalling!
"The gap is so big... it seems we have absolutely no chance of winning."

Mortis frowned.

Su Yuan chuckled and said:

"You never know. As long as my teacher's tendency to attract negative attention kicks in, everything will be fine."

"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to seeing how the invincible Governor-General of the South will be affected by this calamity."

Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyue, and Mo Tisi: "..."

No, something doesn't quite feel right about what I'm saying.

Is this a compliment or an insult to your teacher? Do you dare say this to your teacher?
Seeing the strange expressions on the three women's faces, Su Yuan coughed lightly and said seriously:
"Of course, while my teacher is putting in the effort, we can't slack off on our side either."

"When I met with Master Taibai before, he had already given me the storage magic treasures that contained the Jinhua Mountain Secret Realm and the Dragon King Secret Realm."

"Next, I will focus on refining the Primordial Essence within to enhance my strength. No matter what the future holds, becoming stronger is never a bad thing."

Chen Nuoyi and the other two nodded in agreement, and prepared to make the most of their time to become stronger.

"But before that, we need to find a way to treat Ruan Pingcui. This woman is seriously injured. Not only are all her internal organs shattered, but my teacher has also put her under a blood loss buff."

"If left unchecked, even the life force of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator might not be able to withstand it."

Su Yuan raised the Moon-Catching Pearl on his wrist.

As for how to treat Ruan Pingcui?

It would be absolutely impossible for Su Yuan and his group to cure it with their own abilities, but there just happens to be an ally in the Cold Plum World who can do it.

He instructed Chen Nuoyi and the other two to settle the prostitutes first, while he himself entered an underground storage room in the mansion, cleared out the clutter, and skillfully set up the Holy Church Blood Sacrifice Array.

After placing the Dragon Emperor Coin as an anchor and offering a large amount of flesh and blood as a sacrifice, Long Bai was successfully summoned.

"Su...Su Yuan, why did you suddenly summon me?"

Long Bai glanced enviously at the Dragon Emperor Coin that Su Yuan had put back in his arms, and asked curiously.

Su Yuan chuckled, stepped forward, and took Long Bai's small hand, saying:
"Little Bai, you possess the Dragon Palace's treasure trove, so you should have pills or rare treasures for healing Nascent Soul cultivators, right?"

“The person who needs to be saved is important, and in this strange world of winter plum blossoms, you are the only person I can rely on.”

Little... Little White... Why does that sound like a pet's name?
Long Bai was slightly angry and decisively wanted to refuse.

But after hearing the last half of the sentence, she swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue.

The ice-haired loli gave a soft snort, crossed her arms, and turned her head to say:

"Hmph, you're really useless. In the end, you still have to rely on me."

"Alright, I'll make an exception and help you this time. Where are the wounded? Take me to see them."

Hearing this, Su Yuan smiled slightly to himself.

She's such an easy little girl to handle.

Luckily, I'm kind-hearted, otherwise I would have been helping count the money even if I had been sold out.

Without lingering, he immediately brought Long Bai into the Tribulation Moon Space, where he saw once again the weak Ruan Pingcui and Wei Youzhu, who was still tied up to the side.

Wei Youzhu was clearly completely bewildered by the current situation.

From her perspective, Su Yuan had simply gone out for a short while, and then her master was locked up in a cell, barely alive.

She had always believed that Su Yuan was a lackey of the Governor-General of the South, and upon seeing this scene, she immediately came to a very reasonable conclusion.

Her master had been captured by the Governor-General of the South and then handed over to his henchman, Su Youlin, for safekeeping. Especially after seeing Su Yuan appear, Wei Youzhu trembled with fear.

"You...you corrupt official, what do you intend to do to my master?"

Su Yuan glanced at Wei Youzhu, a kind smile playing on his lips, and said:
"Don't be nervous, I'm just feeding your master some medicine, medicine that will be very helpful to her."

Wei Youzhu: "..."

Is your medicine legitimate?

That doesn't sound serious at all!

Could it be that our wise master, who was so brilliant throughout his life, is ultimately going to be humiliated by a mere Foundation Establishment stage demon?
Thinking of this, Wei Youzhu was filled with grief and indignation, and struggled desperately to get up:

"You corrupt official, don't touch my master! If you want to do anything, come at me directly!"

"No... Get your filthy hands off my master's face! Don't touch her mouth or teeth!"

As Ruan Pingcui's personal disciple, Wei Youzhu was like an incompetent husband, watching helplessly as the woman he cherished most had her mouth pried open by bad people and was stuffed with a depraved pill.

Adjectives like "eyes bulging with fury" and "heart breaking" came to life at this moment!
What's even more hateful is that Su Youlin, that scoundrel, did this without turning off the lights, and let a little girl who looked only ten years old watch.

They're not just beasts, they're downright beasts!
After feeding Ruan Pingcui the healing pills made by the Dragon Clan, Su Yuan felt somewhat at ease.

This guy, who seems to be from an allied force, should be out of danger.

But Su Yuan quickly realized another problem: if Ruan Pingcui recovered her full strength, would the other party turn the tables and take the lead?
He was just a minor Golden Core cultivator, and had no way to deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator in his prime.

No, we must devise a means to restrain the other party.

Su Yuan looked at Long Bai, who possessed the otherworldly treasure chest, and asked sincerely:

"Little White, do you have any extremely powerful magical artifacts that can control or enslave a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Wei Youzhu: "!!!"

Long Bai stroked his smooth chin and said:
"There are no special control-type magic weapons, but the Zijin Beam of the Sea can achieve a similar effect."

"First, shrink this treasure to a size smaller than an embroidery needle, then insert it directly and forcefully into this woman's... dantian."

"If she dares to try to refine or remove the Sea-Bound Purple Gold Beam, or if she harbors murderous intent towards us, this treasure will immediately grow larger, tearing her dantian apart and shattering her nascent soul."

"In this way, it is not a control-type magic weapon, but it is better than a control-type magic weapon."

As the most beloved daughter of the Purple Gold Dragon Lord, and a former peak Nascent Soul cultivator, even though Long Bai has been reincarnated and started cultivating again, her foundation from her previous life remains.

For example, directly controlling a Nascent Soul-level magic weapon of the Dragon Clan with the Dragon Soul is not a difficult task for this girl.

Su Yuan was naturally very satisfied with the ingenious use of the Zijin Beam across the sea, and immediately asked Long Bai to help.

Under Su Yuan's persistent pleading, the ice-haired loli reluctantly took out the shrunken version of the Jiahai Zijin Liang and gave a series of commands to the weapon's spirit.

"Sect Leader Ruan, it might hurt a little right now, but it will be over soon."

Before the healing pills took effect, Su Yuan suddenly inserted the thin needle into Ruan Pingcui's dantian.

Feeling the stinging pain in his lower abdomen, the latter frowned slightly, but was powerless to stop it.

Immediately afterward, the medicinal effects kicked in, and Ruan Pingcui's internal organs, which had been crushed by Nan Cang, were rapidly repaired.

As for the sword wound on the other party's chest... Su Yuan slightly activated the Corruption Golden Core and cleared away the corrupting power in the wound.

Seeing this, Wei Youzhu gradually quieted down.

It seems this corrupt official is treating his own master.

While this move cannot rule out the possibility that the other party is a lackey of the Southern Governor, at least her master is safe now, and she doesn't need to breathe on him for the time being.

After recovering from her injuries, Ruan Pingcui, who had been in a daze, gradually regained her clarity of mind.

She glanced around at her surroundings, and after sensing the striking similarity between the black mud and the fiery sword intent of the Flaming River, she exclaimed:
"Unexpectedly, Yanhe has secretly cultivated a fifth-rank celestial official. It seems that he has more secrets than anyone expected."

As she was speaking, she noticed a hard object inside her dantian.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was a divine weapon at the Nascent Soul level, a treasure she couldn't afford even if she sold all her possessions.

No, using a treasure of this caliber as a life-or-death talisman?

That's incredibly extravagant!

Ruan Pingcui quickly corrected her previous thought.

Yanhe's secret lies not in himself, but in the power behind him.

Perhaps he has a Nascent Soul level expert as a backer, otherwise how could he treat a Nascent Soul level magic weapon like a toy?
"If this conjecture is true, then... I might still have a chance for revenge."

Thinking of Kong Yue, who perished while covering her retreat, a fleeting sadness crossed Ruan Pingcui's eyes, leaving only deep hatred.

She took a deep breath, turned to look at Su Yuan, and smiled professionally:
"Young friend Su, I think you must be very curious about the current situation."

"Perhaps we can cooperate. I am willing to pay any price to kill Nan Cang."
