It's time to become a fairy.

After a pause, Ye Qingge looked at Feng Xiling and said in a deep voice, "Elder Feng, have you brought everyone?"
Feng Xiling nodded slightly and said respectfully, "The three elders of the Tiancang Sect captured during the war have been brought to the council hall, along with the remaining disciples of the Tiancang Sect... Steward Ping, please bring them up."
She gave an order, and a tall, thin deacon below responded and led several disciples standing outside the door out of the council hall. A short while later, several young men and women dressed in the attire of the Tiancang Sect were escorted up.
Ye Qingge looked around and saw that some of the people she brought were familiar faces. They were the elders who had fled with Fang Ziye when he ambushed her.
Feng Xiling explained in a timely manner: "These disciples of the Tiancang Sect are difficult to deal with. The defecting elders are one thing, but most of the ordinary disciples did not participate in the rebellion. However, the sect leader's defection is still a defection, which led to the collapse of part of the city wall. If it weren't for your timely rescue, this section of the defense line would have completely collapsed! Now the matter has escalated. There are many voices in the righteous path who want to punish them, while there are many voices who think they are innocent. We, the elders, protectors and heavenly kings of our sect, are really unable to make a decision. We ask the sect leader to make a choice."
Ye Qingge realized that the disciples of Tiancang Sect who had been abandoned by Fang Ziye were indeed in a very awkward situation, making it difficult for them to make a choice.
In terms of defection, these disciples did not participate; it was the higher-ups of the Tiancang Sect who did. The Taicang Sect learned in its subsequent investigation that Fang Ziye and several elders' defection was not originally part of their plan. During this period, they had not completed the infiltration of the entire Tiancang Sect, and had only infiltrated most of the higher-ups.
In this defection, the elders who had not been infiltrated and showed any desire to resist were all killed. The remaining elders either joined the defection or had already been infiltrated and defected to the righteous path with Fang Ziye. All of them were killed on the battlefield afterward, leaving only the three elders in front of us to be captured.
However, even if they are innocent, these people pose a great threat. No ordinary disciple knows whether they have been infiltrated or whether Fang Ziye intentionally left them here as a backup plan. There are many ways to conceal oneself among demonic cultivators. Even the righteous path's detection methods are not 100% effective. Many ruthless people have already decided to kill them, preferring to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go free!
“If we kill the defecting elders just like that, it will be too easy on them. We should ask more about the demonic cultivators. If they can provide information readily, we can give them a quick death. Let’s leave this matter to the people in the Enforcement Hall.”
Ye Qingge spoke calmly, leaving the rest of her words unsaid, but everyone understood her meaning. The righteous path needs to behave as it should, but that doesn't mean it's weak and easily bullied. Facing traitors, it will naturally not show mercy.
She then looked at the remaining members of the Tiancang Sect. Of course, not all of them could have been brought here, but rather representatives from the remaining disciples. Each of them was highly respected among the disciples, and their cultivation was much higher than that of ordinary disciples.
Ye Qingge glanced around and finally settled her gaze on the man in the steward's robes who was being held down by two disciples. She asked, "You must be Fang Yeyu, the only steward among the remaining people. Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Deacon Fang Yeyu took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm, and said respectfully, "It was the sect's higher-ups who betrayed the righteous path. We ordinary deacons and disciples of the sect were unaware of this matter and never participated in it. We hope that the Holy Sect Master will see the truth and give the remaining disciples of the Heavenly Cang Sect justice."
Ye Qingge shook her head and said, "You also know the situation of the Tiancang Sect. The sect leader has defected, and the righteous path in the world does not trust you. If these words are all you have, they are not enough to clear your name, let alone put the world at ease."
Fang Yeyu took a deep breath, his mind racing as he considered countermeasures. He slowly said, "The remaining disciples of the Tiancang Sect can swear an oath to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, a vow of inner demons that they will never betray us. If any of them betray us, their inner demons will erupt, and they will lose all their cultivation and strength, leaving them to be dealt with by the Holy Sect Master."
"Not enough."
Ye Qingge shook her head again.
Fang Yeyu gritted his teeth, lowered his head deeply, and said, "From this day forward, there will be no more Tiancang Sect in the world, only Zuicang Sect. The remaining disciples of Zuicang Sect are willing to pay the price for the traitor Fang Ziye's actions. We were originally the vanguard of the righteous path, dedicated to eliminating the demonic path... We beg the Holy Master to show mercy and spare our lives!"
He suddenly broke free from the hands of the two disciples behind him, his hands bound behind his back by magical chains, and bowed deeply in Ye Qingge's direction in a peculiar posture.
Many people looked surprised.
Ye Qingge gave him a deep look, then suddenly smiled and helped him up, saying, "You are very smart and know how to assess the situation, but that's not enough. To put the righteous path at ease, we need to add another shackle..."
"This secret technique will be planted in your mind and spirit. As long as you do not do anything that harms the righteous path of the world, it will not erupt. From the moment you swear this oath, you will be the sect leader of the Sinful Cang Sect. I hope you can lead the disciples of the Sinful Cang Sect to clear your name as soon as possible and restore the glory of the Heavenly Cang Sect."
Ye Qingge stretched out her finger and touched Fang Yeyu's forehead, planting a seal there.
Fang Yeyu looked grateful and said, "Thank you for your trust, Holy Master. I am willing to serve you faithfully. From now on, my life belongs to you!"
"Thanking me is useless. This is the first and the last time. If, under your leadership, the Sinful Cang Sect deviates from the righteous path again, you will bear the consequences yourself."
Ye Qingge spoke calmly.
Fang Yeyu kowtowed deeply once more, and in full view of everyone, together with several disciples who had been escorted there, he made the Great Dao Oath and the Heart Demon Oath, thus bringing the matter to a close. He was then taken away by the disciples of the Taicang Sect.
Having already taken the necessary precautions, Ye Qingge turned and walked towards the main seat in the hall. While listening to Feng Xiling report the latest news, she inquired in her mind about Feng Lingxiu's affairs with the old Heavenly Court, especially about Su Qing'er's situation.
After this possession ended, she planned to use her free travel ability to check on Su Qing'er's body, as she hadn't been able to confirm Su Qing'er's condition since the last mission was completed!
Feng Lingxiu pondered for a moment, then slowly described: "The most famous figure of the old Heavenly Court... was probably the third Supreme Emperor. Starting with the third Supreme Emperor, the old Heavenly Court split into two major Heavenly Courts. Among them, the Southern Supreme Emperor was renowned for his virtue and was hailed as a wise ruler throughout the ages, and in terms of race..."
brush
The moment Feng Lingxiu uttered the word "race," Ye Qingge's vision went black, and her consciousness gradually left her body, returning to reality.
As my senses slowly returned, the system's text reappeared before my eyes.
[Host has completed the emergency mission and has received the following rewards: 20000 points, Ancient Jade Zither Technique, and Nine Nether Shuttle]
[On the day of the Blood Moon, amidst the tide of demonic cultivators, he slew four Fifth Heaven Demon Gods and a Third Heaven Demon God... In total, he killed 37,250 demonic cultivators, single-handedly suppressing the demonic tide in the southern region, earning an excellent evaluation. The second part of the reward is increased by 150%, successfully obtaining: 30000 points.]
[The host's task completion quality was detected as excellent, successfully earning a double points reward, for a total of 100000 points.]
[Based on the host's experience of possessing the leader of the Tai Cang Cult, the exchange list has been automatically updated.]
"100,000 points!"
Ye Qingge gasped; this was the first time she had ever earned so many points!
With the points she already had, her total points surpassed 100,000 for the first time, reaching an astonishing 140,000.
She subconsciously opened the exchange list. According to the updated information, 10,000 points is the dividing line between entering the Dao and the Dan Sea. More than 10,000 points can be exchanged for items in the Divine Breath Realm, more than 30,000 points can be exchanged for the Condensation Pill Realm, and more than 70,000 points is the Transformation Sea Realm.
Once you reach 120,000 points, that's the dividing line between the Danhai and Zhongting realms. At 140,000 points, you can start exchanging for items from the Five Gods Realm!
This is just the income from points!
A surge of information entered Ye Qingge's mind, and a glint of light flashed in Ye Qingge's eyes. Feng Lingxiu's ancient jade zither technique had already unleashed its power when it first possessed Feng Lingxiu. When used in conjunction with the Righteous Qi, it could be considered a powerful weapon for large-scale battles!
"I remember the first time I used this zither technique, it allowed me to break through the encirclement of demons using Feng Lingxiu's body. I also used it during this possession, and the demon cultivators didn't dare to get close at all... I'll practice it properly when I have time, so I can use it as a trump card in group battles. At least outside the city, when I encounter the siege of the Yin spirits again, it will have a super strong effect."
"And there's also this Dao artifact, the Nine Nether Shuttle..."
Ye Qingge stretched out her hand, and a palm-sized, spirit boat-shaped artifact appeared in her hand.
As her consciousness probed into it, the Nine Nether Shuttle automatically connected with her consciousness, and the relevant usage methods and effects automatically flooded into her mind. After all the information was absorbed, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"An escape tool. The so-called spirit shuttle is actually similar to a spirit boat, but unlike a spirit boat which can carry many people, this spirit shuttle can only be used by me to escape in critical moments. The Nine Nether Shuttle is even more powerful. Once fully activated, it can be used to ascend to the heavens and descend to the underworld without any hindrance. It is indeed powerful!"
"However, this time, my biggest takeaway is not just from this!"
Ye Qingge closed her eyes and probed her consciousness into the Netherworld space, where the Yin God's divine office was located on her forehead.
The once desolate Netherworld Space was now filled with hundreds of figures, the leader of whom was the demon god at the fifth level of the Dao Realm who had first ambushed Ye Qingge. Ye Qingge subconsciously took him into the Netherworld Space the moment he was killed.
Small boats sailed on the River Styx, which connects the Netherworld to the outside world, guiding these spirits into the space. A rough count revealed that more than three hundred spirits were sent in, of which more than thirty were demon gods who had previously ambushed or been accidentally killed by Ye Qingge.
"Unfortunately, the God of the Underworld still exists in Feng Lingxiu's world. I sensed the power of the God of the Underworld during the transfer. At that time, my situation was not suitable for a head-on confrontation with the God of the Underworld, so I had to stop in time... Otherwise, my Underworld space would surely be filled with the yin spirits of demonic cultivators!"
"The strength of these former demonic spirits has also dropped significantly... On average, they have dropped by five major realms. I remember when I possessed An Lanmeng before, the spirit Fang Liangping that I took in only dropped by about four realms because he was on the verge of shattering. However, because he was on the verge of shattering, he only reached the Transformation Sea Realm."
"After this period of recovery, Fang Liangping's cultivation has reached the Central Court Realm... As a result, the further back in time we go, the more time-spanning history is brought into the present by the spirits, the more their cultivation level will drop!"
Ye Qingge's consciousness enveloped the entire Netherworld space, and the Yin spirits that were ferried from Feng Lingxiu suffered a horrific drop in cultivation.
Not to mention ordinary demonic cultivators, even many demonic gods in the Dao Realm have seen their cultivation levels drop to the Transformation Sea Realm or even the Core Formation Realm. Demonic gods at the Fifth Heaven are in a slightly better position, but they have fallen to the Spirit Embryo Realm and become the most powerful Yin Souls in the Netherworld.
Fang Liangping, the first Yin spirit to be captured in the Immortal Realm, has now recovered to the level of the Five Gods Realm. His eyes are no longer as dull as before, and have begun to show some sparkle.
This discovery left Ye Qingge somewhat disappointed, but it was also understandable. With over three hundred more Yin spirits of different levels assisting her, the benefits brought by her Netherworld Space were becoming increasingly rapid, and the power emanating from them nourished her soul and body, equivalent to the effect of a pill every day.
Whether used in daily life or as a powerful weapon to unleash the Yin Spirit at crucial moments, this will become a major weapon in Ye Qing's repertoire.
After exploring the Netherworld, Ye Qingge's consciousness gradually withdrew from the area and returned to reality, where she opened the system panel.
The personal panel didn't show much difference compared to yesterday, except for an improvement in skill proficiency. Having possessed Feng Lingxiu's body for nearly a week, I successfully mastered the Xuan Tian Sealing Magic Technique, the first five levels of the Heavenly God Technique, and the Soul-Hooking Technique!
Apart from that, nothing else has changed.
"I entered the body around 8 p.m. yesterday, and it's only 4 a.m. now. There's still plenty of time before I have to go back... In that case, let's enter Su Qing'er's body as planned."
It was past four in the morning, and the bright moon outside the window had not yet set, nor had the morning sun risen.
The entire East City is still asleep. After the previous wave of ghostly attacks, even the once-glorious and bustling wealthy district has become much more peaceful and has fallen into a rare state of calm. It is foreseeable that after this period of time, the wealthy district will definitely usher in an unprecedented boom, but that is a matter for the future.
It was still early for breakfast, and there was nothing else to do, so Ye Qingge turned her gaze away from the window. After taking a cultivation pill, she opened the system panel, used the free travel function to select Su Qing'er, and filled in the time slot.
Everything went black before my eyes, and my consciousness slowly left my body.
As her vision gradually returned, a brand-new grand hall appeared before Ye Qingge.
The palace was majestic and solemn, unlike the rough and bold architecture of the Demon Saint Palace once built by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. As she looked around, she saw that every detail within the palace was exquisitely crafted, revealing a profound cultural heritage and a strong foundation of power.
On each of the palace's main pillars, there are dragons coiled, majestic and lifelike. To ordinary people, they might just be ornaments, but when Ye Qingge possesses Su Qing'er's body, she can clearly see the surging blood and energy within the dragons on the pillars, clearly indicating that they are real dragons and not just decorations.
Moreover, on the roof beams and in the corners, various small mythical beasts stood atop them, seemingly as decorations, but in reality, they were all powerful beings. Inside the main hall, perhaps a painting or a seemingly ordinary decoration contained powerful beings or spirits, most of whom were at the Dao Realm. The details of the entire hall filled Ye Qingge with awe.
"His Majesty."
Just as Ye Qingge was amazed by the details, a voice suddenly rang out beside her. Ye Qingge subconsciously turned her head to look and saw the Underworld Lord standing beside her, bowing respectfully and saying, "The new Lingxiao Palace has been completed thanks to the efforts of the Heavenly Craftsmen. I wonder if it satisfies Your Majesty."
"very nice."
Ye Qingge nodded, looked around, and gave it a thumbs up. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked, "Taihuang... how is that traitor doing?"
The Underworld King's expression became much more solemn, and a hint of anger appeared on his old face: "That traitor is extremely rebellious. He has built the Supreme Emperor's Heavenly Court in the north, calling himself the Supreme Emperor of the North, and claiming that he is the rightful Supreme Emperor. During this time, I have been busy pacifying various forces and have not been able to spare any time to deal with that traitor, which has allowed him to be so arrogant. I beg Your Majesty to punish him..."
As he spoke, he was about to kneel down on one knee, looking utterly humiliated.
Ye Qingge quickly made a gesture of helping him up: "Why is the Underworld Lord so desperate? The Underworld Lord is highly respected. I was able to clear my name this time thanks to the Underworld Lord's efforts. Otherwise... I'm afraid I would have already been killed by such traitors and gone to see my father."
Ye Qingge spoke these words with heartfelt sincerity. If it weren't for the fact that the Underworld Lord had given her the crucial trump card of Taihuang's severed finger when he went to the Heavenly Court, and hadn't stood up for her and supported her in the subsequent conflict with Taihuang, the outcome of that incident would have been truly uncertain.
Even if they manage to win, it probably won't be that simple. Just quelling the chaos caused by the split in the Heavenly Court would be enough to give Ye Qingge a huge headache. She knows Su Qing'er's personality; she clearly doesn't have that ability. It's hard to say what the outcome will be.
It can be said that Hades' statement played a very crucial role at that time!
To Ye Qingge's surprise, upon hearing her gratitude, the Underworld King shook his head, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty flatters me. The reason I did this was merely at the request of an old friend. If it weren't for this old friend's exceptional abilities, I wouldn't have been able to gather the evidence..."
"My old friend... entrusted to me?"
Ye Qingge blinked, but Mingjun only smiled slightly and showed no intention of continuing.
After a moment's thought, Ye Qingge quickly understood.
Foresight, exceptional skill... Is this describing Consort Su?
Ye Qingge carefully considered the characters who appeared during her possession of Su Qing'er, concluding that only Consort Su was the most likely candidate to deserve such praise from the Underworld Lord. If it were a contingency plan devised by the late Emperor, the Underworld Lord's title wouldn't be so apt; only Consort Su's contingency plan could command such a high evaluation.
"What exactly is the relationship between this Consort Su and the King of the Underworld, that she could provoke such assistance from him..."
Chapter 96 I have a dream, the Pure Saint Sect of Central Plains
Ye Qingge didn't delve into this question. Mingjun clearly didn't want to say more, so she didn't press him further and quickly changed the subject.
After explaining the latest situation of Lingxiao Palace to Ye Qingge in detail, the Underworld Lord's expression became much more serious: "Your Majesty, according to the calculations of the Star Lords, the best day for Your Majesty to ascend the throne will be seventeen days from now. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
Ye Qingge was slightly taken aback. After asking Su Qing'er in her mind and receiving Su Qing'er's approval, she nodded and said, "Okay, you can arrange this matter."
She was, after all, just a passerby in the system's possession. She could help Su Qing'er overcome difficulties and obtain system rewards, but the truly crucial decisions still had to be made by Su Qing'er herself.
The Underworld King's expression grew even more serious. He took a deep breath, stopped, and cupped his hands, saying, "Now that the day of your ascension to the throne has been set, there is one more matter that we should discuss with Your Majesty in detail."
Ye Qingge also stopped in her tracks, infected by the serious expression on the face of the Underworld Lord, and asked, "If the Underworld Lord has anything important to say, just say it directly. There is no need to be so secretive."
"It's about things after the Heavenly Court was established!"
