After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

"..."

So the sect leader of the Earth Tempering Sect was actually a fox spirit.

"However, young friend Lin Heng, although... I see that your purpose in setting up this Immortal Beauty Ranking doesn't seem to be what those cultivators are talking about, that it's for pleasure, I still think it's better to tell you about this matter first."

Xia Yonghe said earnestly to Lin Heng, "Although our sect leader has reached the Enlightenment Realm, her aptitude is actually not very good. Her achievements today are entirely the result of hard work. And such a person... it's best not to provoke her."

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

He had already observed the fox spirit in green with the Immortal Slave Manual when he was examining her.

The fox spirit, who was the sect leader of the Earth Tempering Sect, only had a spiritual root purity of 47%, which did not even meet the requirements of the Immortal Slave Manual.

Judging from the feedback on the purity of her spiritual roots, her aptitude is indeed only average.

Lin Heng naturally understood Xia Yonghe's warning.

The harder a person works, the more hardships they endure.

Such people are absolutely ruthless in their actions.

However, since he couldn't even meet the requirements of the Immortal Slave Manual, Lin Heng didn't really have any thoughts about this fox spirit.

"Alright, young friend Lin Heng, I'll head over now..."

At this moment, the Rabbit Fairy is still announcing the list of fairies.

After all, the entire Fairy Ranking lists a full one hundred fairies from Guiyuan City.

At this moment, Xia Yonghe finally arrived beside the blue-robed fox fairy and greeted her somewhat awkwardly, "Ahem, greetings, Sect Master. You're here to see the Immortal Ranking too, huh?"

Elder Xia.

The fox spirit in green glanced at him and said indifferently, "It seems there are quite a few fairies from our Earth Tempering Sect on this list of immortal beauties?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yonghe's heart skipped a beat.

Originally, the list of beauties on the list was compiled by Lin Heng at his request.

So it's perfectly normal that most of the people on the list are fairies from the Earth Tempering Sect.

Xia Yonghe, of course, would not admit to such unauthorized contact with external forces.

So he pretended to be confused and laughed, "Sect Master, this is a good thing! The fairies on the Immortal Ranking can all get good resources, doesn't that mean our Earth Tempering Sect has a good chance? If our sect cooperates with that Five Sources Immortal Venerable, maybe we can get even more fairies into the top ten..."

Elder Xia.

The fox spirit in green interrupted Xia Yonghe.

She knew, of course, that the Five Source Immortal Venerable, who could provide such cultivation treatment for fairies, was definitely a worthy partner for the Tempering Earth Sect, and even a worthy friend.

But in her eyes, all of this comes with a condition.

Then, the fox spirit in green glanced at Xia Yonghe and suddenly said, "I don't know if you've heard a rumor recently."

"Rumors?"

Xia Yonghe was puzzled.

"It is said that a force has been secretly established in the Immortal Realm, possessing a special cultivation technique."

The fox spirit in green said calmly, "But this kind of cultivation method treats fellow fairies as consumables."

"I've heard of it."

Xia Yonghe nodded and said seriously, "But such a cultivation method is a typical evil practice. As a prestigious sect, our Tu Tu Sect must never associate with such forces. Moreover, once someone goes mad from practicing such a method, they will become a mindless demon..."

"That's right."

The fox spirit in green interrupted again, "So, what do you think of the Five Source Immortal Venerable who established the Immortal Talent Ranking?"

The list of beauties...

What the hell!

Upon hearing this, Xia Yonghe's eyes widened.

The Dark Sect's cultivation method involves using fairies as consumables for joint cultivation.

The better a fairy's aptitude, the greater her advancement.

The Fairy Ranking is also based on the fairies' appearance and aptitude...

So their own sect leader actually thought Lin Heng was connected to the Dark Sect?!

"Could it be... a coincidence?"

Xia Yonghe said with an awkward smile.

"Is that so?"

The fox spirit in green gave him a meaningful look, but said nothing more.

At this point, Xia Yonghe was in a dilemma.

On one side was the sect leader of his own sect.

She now clearly knows that she has been in contact with Lin Heng and wants me to reveal more information.

On the other side, however, was Lin Heng, who allowed him to enjoy the Immortal Spring every time he broke through.

He had promised Lin Heng that he would keep the matter of the Five Sources Immortal Venerable a secret...

"Who is Yu Zhiyue? Who is the Five Elements Immortal Venerable!"

suddenly.

Just as the Rabbit Fairy was about to announce the list of immortal beauties, a loud shout with great force immediately attracted everyone's attention.

At that moment, a middle-aged man with red eyes and an angry face swaggered in from the crowd.

"He Taishun?"

Xia Yonghe looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously. "What's he doing here?"

He Taishun is a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Realm within the Tu Tu Sect.

Although, considering his age and years of cultivation, reaching the Spirit Realm was already the limit of his life, he was still considered a core cultivator within the Earth Tempering Sect, managing about a dozen outer disciples.

The fox spirit in green calmly said, "He Lie disappeared last night, and there has been no news of him since."

"He Lie has gone missing?"

Xia Yonghe was surprised.

How could He Lie, an inner disciple of the Tu Tu Sect, disappear without a trace?

And then He Taishun mentioned Yu Zhiyue and the Five Sources Immortal Venerable...

Could this guy be here to cause trouble for Lin Heng and his companion?

But what is the relationship between Lin Heng and his group and He Taishun and his son?

"You came to see me?"

At this moment, Yu Zhiyue took a step forward and said to He Taishun.

"You're Yu Zhiyue?"

He Taishun stared at Yu Zhiyue with bloodshot eyes, his anger seemingly about to overflow from his eyes.

At this moment, Lin Heng casually remarked, "We all work for the Five Sources Immortal Venerable, what are you here for?"

"Heh, what am I here for?"

He Taishun gritted his teeth and said, "I am He Lie's father, He Taishun. What do you think I'm here for?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spiritual energy around He Taishun exploded, condensing into a fireball that he threw towards Yu Zhiyue and Lin Heng.

What the hell!

The onlookers all took several steps back.

At this point, they had no time to watch the spectacle.

After all, cultivators with fire spirit roots fight so brutally that if they are caught in the spiritual energy ripples, they will either die or be seriously injured!

but……

He Lie wasn't killed by me, so why is he coming to find me?

Faced with the full-force attack of that Spirit Realm cultivator, Yu Zhiyue had no time to explain and could only quickly mobilize her own spiritual power to block it.

So she quickly formed a magic seal and erected an earthen wall in front of her.

Bang!

To Yu Zhiyue's surprise, her earthen wall actually blocked He Taishun's attack.

You have to understand, there's a whole two-level difference between her and He Taishun!

Originally, she was prepared to deploy even more earthen walls to defend against the attack...

Huh?

wrong!

Soon, Yu Zhiyue was surprised to discover.

Her own earthen wall, and the spiritual power she was mobilizing, were surrounded by a warm spiritual energy, which made her spiritual power even stronger.

And such a warm and gentle feeling...

Subconsciously, Yu Zhiyue turned her head to look at Lin Heng.

In Lin Heng's hand, there was now a flute made of spiritual energy.

"Let's find out what happened first."

Lin Heng calmly put down the Mermaid Tear Tide-Summoning Flute, formed from spiritual energy, and said to Yu Zhiyue.

The title and ability of the Five Source Immortal Venerables is that they can use spiritual power to wield the goddess's artifact.

Just now, he used the first stage of the Mermaid Tear Tide-Summoning Flute: through the rules of source water, he amplified the power of immortal techniques by 200%!

"Okay, I understand!"

Yu Zhiyue nodded quickly and then took the opportunity to say to He Taishun, "Brother, are you mistaken? I didn't kill He Lie."

"If it's not you, then who is it?"

At this moment, He Taishun also temporarily dispelled the spiritual energy that had been gathered.

But his gaze remained fixed on Yu Zhiyue.
