I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

Another part of the cave.

Cheng Ran and the Loli Human Emperor sat down with their backs against the stone wall, panting heavily.

In Cheng Ran's hands, the Emperor's Jade Pendant gleamed with a black light.

This is the power of Xuanwu.

It was by relying on this that he activated the protective array and was able to block Mu Yunxi's magic.

Although Xiao Mu√ isn't very capable, her skills are undeniable.

Putting aside her own overpowered abilities, she is undoubtedly the number one genius of our time!

If I had taken that spell head-on, I wouldn't have been completely unharmed, but I would at least have been half-dead!

"Damn, first Lu Shixue, then Su Chan'er, and now Mu Yunxi..."

"Why do these lucky girls always try to harm my brother?"

"It really needs to be adjusted!"

Cheng Ran cursed indignantly, but then turned his gaze to the Human Emperor.

In fact, ever since he entered the cave, he had felt that the Loli Human Emperor had been keeping something from him.

Even now, her eyes are wandering, and her hands and feet are unnatural...

After a moment of silence, Cheng Ran still felt he should find out more:

"Ancestor, speak."

"Say...say what? I've said everything I need to say..."

The human emperor loli avoided eye contact and stammered halfway through her sentence.

He suddenly paused, taken aback.

Suddenly, a whip appeared in Cheng Ran's hand.

"three......"

Cheng Ran didn't bother with any fancy strokes; instead, he used the famous hand gestures and started counting down.

The loli human emperor panicked instantly.

She meant to say, "Didn't you swear you wouldn't hit me...?"

But then I thought about it again and realized that Cheng Ran, that scoundrel, probably only meant that he wouldn't physically assault me!

A whip is not considered fist or foot!

She was somewhat annoyed; she had been tricked by Cheng Ran again...

But with the shameless Cheng Ran at her disposal, she still wisely gritted her teeth and said:

"Alright... I'll tell you the truth."

"The reason your fellow disciple is in this state may be related to the evil spirit I mentioned."

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid you wouldn't come if you heard it."

Cheng Ran had roughly guessed as well, and stroked his chin as he said:

"So, what exactly is that evil thing?"

"That woman just now is my senior sister, currently ranked number one on the Qingyun Ranking... Anything that can control her is definitely not simple."

"Um......"

The Human Emperor Loli paused for a moment, then said seriously:

"That evil object is a demonic bead, its effect is similar to the jade pendant I gave you, except that it contains the power of the Demon Lord."

Oh... Demon Lord?

Cheng Ran raised an eyebrow, a rare look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the human race had a low status in the Nine Provinces, while the two supreme rulers of the world were known as the Demon Lord and the Demon Sovereign.

Furthermore, since the spiritual energy of the Nine Provinces was much more abundant at that time, the strength of these two supreme beings was extremely terrifying.

It is said that their strength is even above the peak of the Mahayana realm.

However, later, a powerful being emerged among the human race, who, through some unknown means, sealed away these two supreme beings.

And for the next tens of thousands of years, neither of them was ever born again.

As a time traveler, Cheng Ran knew that it was better to believe such legends than not; they were most likely true...

Now it seems that this was indeed the case.

only......

"Ancestor, you just said that the evil object was a demonic pearl?"

Cheng Ran's gaze sharpened as he discovered the blind spot.

The loli emperor then nodded:

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

What's wrong?

Of course, we've discovered something incredibly good!

Cheng Ran's lips suddenly curled into a smile, clearly indicating that an evil thought was rising in his mind at that moment.

The power of the Demon Orb is indeed very strong and terrifying...

but!

According to the system information, Cheng Ran knew that this demonic pearl was an opportunity that Ye Chen would obtain.

Then there's nothing to be afraid of!

Given the nature of Cao Cao's system, any opportunity recorded there can be seized!

Moreover, there are generous rewards after you've finished grabbing them!

Then there's not much to say.

Just grab it!

Can the system really lie to itself?

"It's nothing, Ancestor. What should I do now?"

Cheng Ran looked at the loli human emperor, then extended his hand:

"Your true self sent you to the mortal realm to deal with this demonic pearl; surely you didn't leave without giving you anything in return?"

"You know that?"

The loli human emperor blinked, feeling as if Cheng Ran, that shameless guy, had seen right through her.

She then pointed her finger, and three golden lights flashed before her eyes.

Ultimately, it was transformed into three scrolls.

"Your senior sister was probably controlled by that thing after getting close to the demonic orb..."

"However, the power of the demonic pearl has not completely corrupted her yet, and it can still be sealed with magic."

"And these three scrolls are the tools I chose to help you with the sealing."

It was a sealing technique...

Cheng Ran took the three scrolls and examined them thoughtfully.

The Demon Sealing Diagram uses arrays as prisons and patterns as locks to seal away the malevolent energy of heaven and earth!

The Soul-Suppressing Diagram transforms all things into a cage, suppressing evil spirits invisibly!

The "Goddess Painting" requires the harmony of Yin and Yang, and the union of spirit and flesh, so that the divine energy can communicate and trigger the power of the sealed origin!

"???"

Upon reading the third book, Cheng Ran's brows furrowed suddenly, and then the corner of his mouth twitched:

"Ancestor, why is this scroll restricted to use during dual cultivation? Are you really a decent person?"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the Loli Human Emperor was taken aback at first, but after carefully examining the scroll, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Obviously, they didn't expect there to be such a scroll inside.

She quickly waved her hand and explained:

"Uh... this was chosen by my main body, it has nothing to do with me!"

"hehe."

Cheng Ran didn't quite believe it, thinking that the loli clone was just bragging.

However, he didn't delve too deeply into that aspect, but simply stared at the three scrolls, and then murmured:

"Alright, give me the stuff."

"Um."

The situation was urgent, and the little human emperor no longer tried to entangle with Cheng Ran:

Which one do you want?

Cheng Ran gave her a strange look and said irritably:

"You've only just met me? Only kids make choices. I want it all."

......

......

Cheng Ran carried three scrolls and walked through the cave.

The loli human emperor followed cautiously behind him.

The two were on their way to find Mu Yunxi. After all, if they wanted to seal the Demon Pearl, they first had to defeat Mu Yunxi and control her.

What the Loli Human Emperor couldn't understand was why Cheng Ran wanted to bring her along.

According to Cheng Ran's classification of realms, he, without any cultivation, belonged to the ant realm, merely a flying creature.

Going with Cheng Ran to beat up that little girl would obviously just be a hindrance.

Is this guy really that confident he can win?

The Loli Emperor was baffled.

While Cheng Ran is indeed very strong, his senior sister is clearly no less impressive.

Just like the woman in green I saw last time, her talent is definitely among the top in Kyushu!

And just then...

"Ancestor, don't die."

Cheng Ran suddenly turned to look at her and said somewhat seriously.

"Don't die... what does that mean...?"

Before he could finish speaking...

boom--

A clap of thunder sounded.

A torrent of purple lightning crashed down, its force seemingly capable of annihilating everything within the cave.

At the same time, a black magic array unfolded beneath him, and immense spiritual power transformed into layers of shields, resisting the thunderous force.

She looked down and saw that Cheng Ran was holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand.

The jade pendant is still working its magic!

However, the power of that thunderbolt was too terrifying.

In an instant, smoke billowed inside the cave.

"Cough cough..."

The loli-like human emperor coughed a little from the billowing smoke.

But only three breaths later.

Another sword aura struck, slicing the smoke and dust in half.

boom--

The sword energy was arrogant and directly shattered the shield formed by the power of Xuanwu!

At this moment, Mu Yunxi slowly walked up to the two of them.

She was still dressed in white, carrying a sword, her clothes fluttering, surrounded by spiritual energy, and two large magic arrays, one blue and one purple, formed beneath her feet.

She raised her sword, her scarlet peach blossom eyes scrutinizing the two of them:

"Do you have any last words?"

That icy tone was like frozen frost.

It was absolutely terrifying.

The loli human emperor remained silent, casting her gaze upon Cheng Ran.

She herself wouldn't die, but she still couldn't figure out what method Cheng Ran had.

You should know that the last time she saw Cheng Ran, he was carrying a sword.

Moreover, that sword seems to be related to the Sword Emperor...

but!

Now, Cheng Ran only has a jade pendant and three scrolls on him.

How can a sword cultivator fight others without a sword?

The Loli Emperor simply couldn't understand it.

however.

In the very next instant.

Cheng Ran's actions completely stunned her.

Cheng Ran's lips curled up, and he pulled out a roll of Yunsong paper from his waist.

And at the very top were two large characters—

"Slave Contract"!
