He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

Inner Immortal Courtyard, Law Enforcement Hall.

In the solemn and majestic hall, a black-clad youth with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes sat on the seat of honor, his eyes slightly narrowed as he scrutinized Mo Rou, an inner disciple standing before him.

"Junior Sister Mo, are you saying that in this mission to wipe out the Tongtian Bandits, Mu Changming and three other inner disciples, as well as Zhao Ke and three other outer disciples, all died tragically?"

"Besides you, only that Lu... Lu Changsheng and Bai Xue survived, didn't they?"

The Enforcement Hall, with its blade turned inward, is dedicated to criminal law.

If an ordinary disciple is targeted by the Enforcement Hall, he will be skinned alive or worse.

Especially when carrying out sect missions and murders occur, the situation becomes even more difficult to explain.

The outer disciples of Shangyun Heavenly Palace number in the hundreds of thousands, all of whom are at the Qi Refining stage. Their deaths are insignificant. However, the inner disciples are all Foundation Establishment cultivators, and their deaths will be thoroughly investigated.

"Senior Brother Liu, everything Junior Sister said is true. I wouldn't dare deceive your Enforcement Hall!"

While pitifully wiping away her tears, Mo Rou winked at Liu Tong, the disciple of the Enforcement Hall who sat in the seat of honor.

"Senior Brother Liu, if you don't believe me, you can check his body. His chest still hurts."

"..."

Liu Tong stared intently at Mo Rou's chest, thinking to himself, "It's swollen from being beaten; of course it hurts!"

"Exterminating the Heavenly Bandits is only a beginner-level task in the Inner Immortal Academy, not very difficult. Even if there are Foundation Establishment cultivators, their numbers wouldn't be many. Mu Changming is at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, and including you, there were a total of five Foundation Establishment cultivators deployed this time. How could the casualties be so severe?"

Liu Tong, as the senior disciple of the Enforcement Hall of the Inner Immortal Academy, is not so easily fooled.

"Waaaa~ Senior Brother Liu, you don't know, there is a powerful demon, the Taiyin Poison Spider, at the peak of the tenth level of the Golden Core realm, hidden in Tongtian Peak. If it weren't for Brother Feng's Crimson Flame Tower protecting me, I would probably have died before you."

The moment the four characters "Taiyin Poison Spider" were uttered, the entire Law Enforcement Hall fell silent. Even Liu Tong was so frightened that his face turned as pale as paper, and he was speechless.

"To save us, Senior Brother Mu led Junior Brother Xun and the others, fearlessly using their own bodies to block the Taiyin Poison Spiders. I, on the other hand, used the Crimson Flame Tower for protection and escaped on my sword."

"In this critical moment, thinking I could save as many as possible, I took the two outer disciples who were closest to me away. As for the others... I was powerless to help them!"

As she spoke, Mo Rou wiped away her tears again:

"Senior Brother Mu died a truly tragic death. He clearly had the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength. If he had been determined to escape, he would have been the one with the best chance of survival. But he..."

"But Senior Brother Mu left the hope of survival to us, facing the Taiyin Poison Spider alone, sob sob sob~"

"..."

"..."

It turns out that a woman's crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide are quite effective, whether in the mortal world or in a sacred celestial realm.

Mo Rou's tearful plea completely bewildered the disciples of the Enforcement Hall, who even ended up comforting her.

"Junior Sister Mo, please don't be too sad!"

"I will report to the elders about Junior Brother Mu Changming's selfless spirit, so as to comfort his soul in heaven."

Liu Tong stood up, walked to Mo Rou, took out a small elixir bottle from his robes, and handed it to her.

"Junior Sister Mo, you are also seriously injured. This bottle of Qingling Pill is a token of my appreciation. Please do not refuse."

"Our Enforcement Hall will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Junior Sister Mo, please go back and recover from your injuries."

Mo Rou accepted the pill bottle from Liu Tong, then thanked him with red eyes before leaving the Hall of Law Enforcement and returning to her residence.

Without a doubt, Qianfeng is waiting for her at his residence.

Can......

But with the Crimson Flame Tower destroyed, how could she possibly face Qianfeng?

You must know that the Crimson Flame Tower is a low-grade magic weapon for the Golden Core stage; it's Qian Feng's lifeline! His biggest trump card!!

To buy this Crimson Flame Tower, Qian Feng scrimped and saved, even sparing no spirit stones during his cultivation. Otherwise, with his talent, he would have already successfully formed his core long ago!

There was no way to avoid it, so Mo Rou gritted her teeth and forced herself to walk back to her residence.

She believed that Brother Feng loved her.

"Senior Brother Liu, are you just going to let Junior Sister Mo go like this?"

Not long after Mo Rou left, a disciple from the Enforcement Hall approached Liu Tong and bowed, saying:

"Four inner disciples and three outer disciples have died. According to the regulations of my Enforcement Hall, Mo Rou can be directly detained for investigation..."

But before the disciple could finish speaking, Liu Tong forcefully interrupted him:

"Hmph! Do you think I don't know the rules of the Enforcement Hall?"

"Mo Rou's internal organs have shifted; she's suffered such severe injuries, can't you tell? The Crimson Flame Tower is destroyed. If this is a self-inflicted injury ploy, then this woman is far too ruthless to herself!"

"First, send people to Tongtian Peak to investigate and see if there is any lingering demonic aura from the Taiyin Poison Spider, and then see if there are any other clues. I remember that a powerful demon like the Taiyin Poison Spider doesn't usually show itself easily, unless a rare and precious treasure like the Taiyin Dew Fruit appears!"

As an inner sect law enforcement hall disciple, Liu Tong was also a Foundation Establishment stage eighth level cultivator, so his understanding of the Taiyin Poison Spider was naturally much greater than Mo Rou's.

"Furthermore, Mo Rou's Daoist partner, Qian Feng, is at the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, only one step away from breaking through to the Golden Core stage and becoming an inner disciple. If we're going to bully someone, we should pick the weakest one!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall exchanged bewildered glances.

Judging from what Senior Brother Liu Tong said, he wants to cause trouble for those two outer disciples!

No identity! No background! No ability!

It's another Qi Refining stage where my strength is low!

Another outer disciple who's dead and nobody cares!

Yeah, senior brother is indeed senior brother, awesome!

......

The Outer Immortal Courtyard, the small courtyard where Lu Changsheng resides.

The Dust Guardian Array completely isolated the entire room from the outside world. Not to mention outer disciples, even inner disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage or true disciples in the Golden Core stage could not break in for a short time.

Lu Changsheng, meanwhile, cast aside all external distractions, focused his mind, and fully probed the Devouring Heaven Cauldron with his divine sense.

"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~"

Upon entering the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, one is immediately greeted by a sharp, piercing howl, like ten fingernails scraping against the wall, which is extremely unpleasant.

"Boy! Let this great demon out of here!"

"What kind of magical artifact is this? It's so terrifying!"

"You're only at the Qi Refining stage. Even with such a terrifying magic weapon, you still can't possibly defeat this great demon!"

"This great demon is at the peak of the tenth level of the Golden Core realm. I could even fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator! This is impossible! Impossible!!"

......

Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, the Taiyin Poison Spider couldn't help but roar.

The body, the size of a carriage, rampaged through the Devouring Cauldron, spraying dark green venom everywhere, its ferocious aura filling an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

But this is the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, how could it allow a tiny spider to stir up waves?

The endless stream of inky black energy transformed into a cage about a hundred meters long, firmly binding the Taiyin Poison Spider within. No matter how it struggled, it could not break free.

As the Taiyin Poison Spider resisted more fiercely, the all-pervasive black energy directly invaded its hard carapace, like black chains piercing its bones and taking root in its flesh.

"Huh? This Devouring Heaven Cauldron is actually absorbing the demonic power within the Taiyin Poison Spider's body??"

Lu Changsheng, who was shocked by the discovery, was overjoyed. Although the process of devouring was very slow, the demonic power within the Taiyin Poison Spider was immense.

If this continues, it won't be long before the spirit of the Devouring Heaven Cauldron awakens, even without a supply of spirit stones.

"Kid! Kid!"

"This great demon is speaking to you, can't you hear me?"

"You mere Qi Refining stage cultivator dares to disregard me? You deserve to die! You truly deserve to die!"

......

Lu Changsheng ignored the roar of the Taiyin Poison Spider. It was normal for him to be a little angry after being imprisoned for so long.

Once the demon has vented his anger and calmed down, we can talk to him then.

Now, let's go check out the Taiyin Ninglu Fruit!

Lu Changsheng stepped into the void, riding on the inky black air currents, and appeared out of thin air a hundred meters away.

Here, there is also a cage formed from black mist.

Oh no!

To be precise, a cage is a place that imprisons people or demons.

A place that nurtures the spiritual beings of heaven and earth should be called a blessed land.

At this moment, the Taiyin Dew Fruit is absorbing spiritual energy and growing vigorously within the blessed land.

The spiritual energy inside the Devouring Heaven Cauldron is dozens of times denser than that outside. With the deliberate guidance of the artifact spirit, the growth rate of the Taiyin Dew Fruit has greatly accelerated.

Originally, it would have taken another month or even several months to mature, but at this rate, it will be ready to be harvested in no more than twenty days.

Although Lu Changsheng did not yet know the wonders of the Taiyin Condensation Dew Fruit, it must be extraordinary that it could be guarded by a powerful demon at the peak of the tenth level of the Golden Core stage every day.

All of this awaits the answer when the spirit of the artifact, Lao Tun, awakens.

After examining the Taiyin Dew Fruit, Lu Changsheng had an idea and went to the Taiyin Poison Spider that was imprisoned.

The Yin Poison Spider, which had already finished cursing, began cursing again upon seeing Lu Changsheng:

"You brat, let this great demon out of here! Now..."

"If you haven't finished your rant, I'm leaving!"

Lu Changsheng interrupted forcefully, showing no mercy:

"But who knows when it will appear next time."

"You... chirp! chirp!"

The Taiyin Poison Spider's eight small eyes darted around, barely suppressing its anger, and it spoke:

"How can you let me out? That Taiyin Dew Fruit is coveted by the Great Demon King of the Black Pool, who ordered me to guard it day and night, waiting for it to ripen."

The Great Demon King of the Black Pool?

What the hell is this?!

Never heard of it, don't know it, so I don't care!

Would Lu Changsheng be afraid?

What's there to be afraid of!

If you're really that awesome, then go ahead and storm into Shangyun Heavenly Palace and fight Yun Quezi to the death!

"I don't know the Black Pool Demon King, nor do I want to know him. It's easy for me to let you out."

At the crucial moment, Lu Changsheng paused, and after whetting the appetite of the Taiyin Poison Spider, he slowly spoke:

"Let me brand your soul upon you, and from now on you will serve me as your master, then I will release you!"

Once the soul is branded, it will be completely controlled. At that time, with a single thought from Lu Changsheng, the Taiyin Poison Spider's soul will immediately dissipate, and its body will perish.

Only in this way would he completely believe in this Yin Poison Spider.

"Chirp! Chirp!!"

"This great demon is at the peak of the tenth level of the Golden Core realm. How could I possibly acknowledge a mere Qi Refining cultivator like you as my master? This demon would rather die than submit to your human race! This demon..."

Swish! !

Tired of listening to the roars of the Taiyin Poison Spider any longer, Lu Changsheng withdrew his divine sense from the Devouring Heaven Cauldron and returned it to his body.

He knew the Taiyin Poison Spider wouldn't agree, since the Devouring Heaven Cauldron was constantly absorbing the spiritual power within his body, so he wasn't in a hurry.

To subdue such a ferocious beast and make it your own, you must first temper its temperament.

As soon as his consciousness returned to his body, the jade pendant in Lu Changsheng's arms suddenly lit up.

When he probed the jade tablet with his divine sense, he discovered that it was a distress signal sent to him by Princess Taiping.

"Hmm? Someone in the Inner Immortal Academy is actually making things difficult for Bai Xue?!"

Lu Changsheng reached out and grasped the flying sword, instantly dashing out of the room:

"court death!!"
