After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

Moreover, in this world... perhaps only Wenren Ershu, who is possessed by the Heavenly Demon Bobiye, might know A-Li's whereabouts.

"Is Shi Yan really alright...?" Ming Zhongqing asked softly, supporting Shi Yan.

She could sense that something was wrong with Shi Yan.

Well... Ming Zhongqing turned around and glanced at Shi Jiuzhou.

The feeling Shi Yan gave her now was the same as when Ming Zhongqing saw Miss Shi Jiuzhou walking out while leaning against the wall in the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

"No...it's nothing." Shi Yan said through gritted teeth.

She was still mentally planning the aftermath of the small womb mandala.

That kind of humiliation, like being sucked on like a lollipop... Shi Yan has only experienced it twice in her life.

One was a small Pixiu.

Just now... once.

But the little Pixiu that time was just a physical form, and the impact it had on Shi Yan was completely different from that on his soul.

That feeling... is probably similar to encountering a weakened version of the [Happy Heaven Womb Mandala] when the Pure Color Mandala is used.

It's quite strange, actually.

Since entering this strange space, Shi Yan has not sensed Xiao Jingse's presence.

There is no contract between her and the Pure Color Mandala.

The "Heavenly Demon Scripture" that previously held the two together was returned to Xiao Jingse by Shi Yan in order to save Qi Yin.

Shi Yan really doesn't know where the Pure Color Mandala is now.

But... Shi Yan believed that based on the special nature of this tomb, and Xiao Jingse's ability to be slightly stronger than her opponent no matter who she encountered.

The pure-colored mandala should also be fine.

Instead of worrying about whether the Pure Color Mandala will encounter any unexpected problems, it's better to worry about... those who have encountered the Pure Color Mandala.

Those who have stepped into this world of infinite cutting are not only from the Taiyi Sect.

If some fool really does provoke Xiao Jingse... then the subsequent criticism and explanations are what Shi Yan needs to consider.

certainly--

The nature of the celestial demon is embodied in the pure-colored mandala.

Whether or not cleanup is needed... remains to be seen.

Near the cold pool, Shi Yan saw Donghuang Jin, who was dealing with the wounded along with other Taiyi Sect cultivators.

Shortly after Shi Yan and Wenren Ershu clashed head-on, Donghuang Jin arrived with reinforcements from the Taiyi Sect.

“Sister Shiyan…” Donghuang Jin looked at Shiyan with some surprise.

She hurried forward, "Are you alright?"

"He looks a little pale."

Before Shi Yan could struggle, Donghuang Jin's hand was already on Shi Yan's wrist.

Then... under Shi Yan's utterly ashamed and resentful gaze, wishing he could smash Donghuang Jin's head with a hammer, Donghuang Jin murmured in a voice that could be heard only by Ming Zhongqing and Shi Yan.

"It seems like I have a bit of a yin deficiency..."

"Was it during the fierce battle with that demon that his vital essence was stolen...?"

"It's ok."

"I have a lot of tonics here."

"No—need!" Shi Yan gritted his teeth.

With the [Snow Cold Technique], why would I need any tonics?

"You just need to rest for a bit."

"That won't do..." Donghuang Jin wanted to say something more, but then he saw Shi Yan's murderous gaze.

"Sister Jin, do you not believe me?" Even with Ming Zhongqing supporting her, Shi Yan still wouldn't behave.

She threatened Donghuang Jin, "If you don't believe me..."

"Sister Jin, why don't you wash up properly in this cold pool?"

The teacher's words clearly implied a comparison with any kind of tonic.

It possesses the ability to absorb physical strength, energy, and spiritual energy after mastering the [Snow Cold Technique] to its peak.

Donghuang Jin, a cultivator at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, was her best medicine.

Donghuang Jin immediately backed down.

It's not that she didn't want to.

To be honest, I was really craving Donghuang Jin.

Just by having the girl take off her shoes and socks for a moment to observe, she already felt that the bottleneck that had been holding her back from breaking through seemed to have loosened.

If only I could have a deep conversation with Miss Shiyan.

My future journey of cultivating immortality will surely be as smooth as a broad and wide road.

But no.

Both Ah Li and Miss Li seemed to have feelings for Shi Yan's younger sister.

As an elder, how could I possibly maintain such an entanglement with Shi Yan's younger sister?

Besides... it's still in Lord Loulan's tomb.

The pulling and tugging was disrespectful.

After all, he wasn't someone whose favorability rating wasn't maxed out, so Donghuang Jin let it go quickly.

"Sister Shiyan, please rest well...please rest well." She smiled awkwardly at Shiyan, then turned her gaze to behind Shiyan—Qiyin, who was curled up in Shi Jiuzhou's arms with a shy expression.

"Miss Qiyin..."

Qi Yin finally found an excuse to get down from Shi Jiuzhou's arms.

The other person's figure was too beautiful and gentle, which put immense pressure on Qi Yin's heart.

Most importantly... it's that scent on the other person, a rich, lingering fragrance that seems to have been infused with Shi Yan's essence.

This made Qi Yin's already delicate constitution even weaker in the legs.

She almost lost her balance when Shi Jiuzhou put her down.

Fortunately, Donghuang Jin and Shi Jiuzhou quickly helped the girl up.

"I'm fine..." came the soft voice.

Qi Yin said things that no one believed.

After offering words of comfort, Donghuang Jin hesitated... and then asked the question that had always been on her mind.

"Miss Qiyin..."

"you..."

"Have you seen Ah Li?"

Qi Yin suddenly lowered her head and fell into a long silence.

Donghuang Jin's shoulders were trembling.

After a long while, Qi Yin looked at the trembling Donghuang Jin and hesitated before trying to comfort him, "That witch..."

"After untying Ah Li's ropes, we let Ah Li leave on her own."

"maybe..."

"Has Ah Li already left?"

Donghuang Jin did not answer; the woman remained silent.

Has Ah Li really left?

she does not know.

But in Donghuang Jin's mind, that hope suddenly became very, very small.

The people of the Taiyi Sect have a way to communicate with each other within a certain space.

But... contact with Ah Li.

It has been gone for a long time.

Unlike the usual girls who deliberately remain silent but whose presence you can still feel.

This time... Ah Li's existence seemed to have vanished.

In Donghuang Jin's heart, the gloomy emotions seemed to be magnified infinitely.

The entire camp fell into a somber mood.

Those Taiyi Sect cultivators who originally stayed at the camp, but who followed Donghuang Li into this world after hearing that Miss Shiyan and Lord Donghuang Jin might be in danger.

She even cast an indignant glance at Wenren Ershu, who was in Xixue Zhiwu's arms.

But they also knew.

This woman was nothing more than a puppet who had been controlled even earlier than them.

So... all I could do was cast a resentful glance.

Qingzhou, Qi Commandery.

Outside the passageway—

A girl wearing a Taiyi Sect cloak suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Even those eyes, as bright as the starry night, seemed somewhat dim.

Clearly... what Wenren had said before, Qiyin's words had a great impact on her.
