Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Duan Xingchen was stunned for a while before he could respond normally: "I just... I'm just curious about who you people are."

"us?"

Yun Ping pointed to himself and the two girls next to him, Ye Yuchan, and said, "My surname is Yun, and my given name is Ping. These two girls are my apprentices. The old woman in the wheelchair is called Ye Yuchan, and the other honest girl is called Zhang Ruoxue."

"Who are you calling an old woman?!"

Upon hearing the words "old woman," Ye Yuchan excitedly patted her wheelchair. If it weren't for her leg problems, she would have jumped up and smashed Yunping's head in.

Zhang Ruoxue blinked, then pointed at herself with a blank expression, "Is calling me an honest person a compliment?"

“Yes, that counts.” Yunping gave Zhang Ruoxue a thumbs up. “Don’t worry, this is a compliment.”

Ye Yuchan: "Don't ignore me!"

Duan Xingchen gasped as he watched the three of them interacting.

Teacher... Apprentice...

From any perspective, Yunping doesn't seem like the kind of person who should be a teacher. Not only is he frivolous, but his tone of voice is also arrogant. However, it's not the arrogant arrogance of those spoiled brats, but rather an arrogance that's hard to define.

This was the first time Duan Xingchen had ever felt this way...it was very subtle.

However, she quickly composed herself and lowered her voice, "I'm not asking for your names, but your identities... I want to know who you are, where you come from, and what your purpose is."

While patting Ye Yuchan's head to soothe the silver-haired maid who was trying to get up from her wheelchair and go berserk, Yun Ping turned his head and glanced at Duan Xingchen.

"We came up from down here, and we're here to find someone."

Downstairs? Looking for someone?

Duan Xingchen seemed to have thought of something bad, and her delicate body trembled twice. "Are you vengeful spirits from the underworld coming up to claim my life?"

Yunping and Ye Yuchan: "..."

This girl's thoughts seem to jump around a bit too quickly.

"We came from the Desolate Sky Domain, just to visit an old friend."

"Ah...oh..." Duan Xingchen finally understood what "below" meant. Her face flushed, and she scratched her head awkwardly. "So, the person you're looking for is someone from that Yangque Fire Domain?"

Yunping nodded. This wasn't exactly a secret, so telling Duan Xingchen wouldn't hurt.

However, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "But putting aside the matter of the Yangque Fire Domain for now, I would like to make a trip to your Holy Feather Sect."

"Coming to our Holy Feather Sect?!"

Duan Xingchen raised his voice a few decibels, and even his eyes flashed with a few wary glints.

Yunping naturally knew what she was wary of; anyone would have been the same—several people who suddenly appeared, almost killed her, and then suddenly saved her, and after only a few words, wanted to follow her back to the sect—anyone would be wary in this situation.

Yun Ping sensed this obvious wariness, and he waved his hand with a smile, "Don't worry, I don't have any special purpose in going to your Holy Feather Sect. I just want to ask if the others in your sect know about the existence of the Yangque Fire Domain."

"How do I know if what you're saying is true?" Duan Xingchen remained vigilant, keeping a close eye on Yun Ping, Ye Yuchan, and the others. "What if you have ulterior motives?"

At this moment, Yu Chan said, "No, Miss, look at me. Anyone from your place could easily take me down. We can't possibly cause trouble there."

“You really aren’t up to the task.” Duan Xingchen’s gaze slowly shifted to Yun Ping. “But he is. His methods, capable of even repelling demons, are something I’ve only ever seen in the Sect Master…”

Yunping gave a bitter smile. "Hey little sister, I did save your life, didn't I? Can't people trust each other a little more?"

At this point, Duan Xingchen was taken aback for a moment, and then a rather unfriendly anger appeared on his face.

It would have been better if they hadn't brought it up, but Yunping's mention of it reminded Duan Xingchen of it.

My light bulb... ugh, my holy light malfunctioned twice in a row, both because of these three people in front of me!

"If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I and the others would have left long ago and wouldn't have fallen into the hands of those demons."

Upon hearing this, Yunping blinked awkwardly, unable to refute the fact presented by the other party for the moment.

Because that's really the case.

That girl from Anywhere Door is really something, she just had to play the "falling from the sky" trick... She could have just crawled out from underground, but she hit someone on the head twice in a row, it's impossible for them not to be angry.

Now look what's happened, Duan Xingchen from the Holy Feather Sect just won't believe Yun Ping no matter what.

However, the Holy Feather Sect could not refuse to go—not only because Yun Ping wanted to obtain information about the Yangque Fire Domain, but also because he remembered something quite important.

"How about this..." Yun Ping finally compromised and asked Duan Xingchen, "Little sister, do you have any binding formations or magic artifacts? You can tie me up and take me back to the Holy Feather Sect, is that alright?"

"Um……"

Duan Xingchen immediately looked troubled. She glanced at the contents of her storage ring. As the Holy Maiden of the Holy Feather Sect, she did indeed possess many treasures that were difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

Among these was a third-grade Heavenly Rank magic weapon.

buzz~

It was a long purple whip, with dark lightning constantly emanating from its body. The end of the whip was inscribed with many complex array characters, making it look like a living thunder python at first glance, with a continuous crackling sound.

Yunping raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this girl really had quite a few treasures, even a Heavenly Grade magic weapon.

Duan Xingchen glanced at Yun Ping, seemingly trying to see some panic in his eyes, but unfortunately, even after he took out this top-grade magic weapon, he remained unmoved, seemingly in a position where he could be manipulated at will.

Duan Xingchen relaxed his vigilance slightly, but he still wouldn't disregard the safety of the Holy Feather Sect. "If you are willing to be bound by this magic artifact of mine, I can allow you to return to the Holy Feather Sect with me."

"Come on, little sister." Yunping opened her arms wide, showing no sign of backing down.

Duan Xingchen nodded heavily, then poured his newly recovered spiritual energy into the thunder whip artifact and swung it forward with all his might.

Crack!

Like a python coiling around, the long whip in Duan Xingchen's hand suddenly extended several times, gripping Yun Ping's wrist tightly and binding his upper body. At the same time, seven-colored light shone brightly, and several small magic arrays appeared on various parts of Yun Ping's body, completely sealing his meridians, spiritual roots, and even parts of his flesh and bones.

"Alright." Duan Xingchen clapped his hands, looking at Yun Ping with great satisfaction.

This scene lasted for about ten seconds before the magic array around Yunping slowly lost its brilliance. However, its effects would not disappear until the thunder whip magic weapon was removed.

Yunping blinked, glanced back at Ye Yuchan who was trying hard to suppress her laughter, and Zhang Ruoxue who still looked completely bewildered, and his face darkened.

"Hey girl, who taught you that...?"

"Huh? Teach me what?" Duan Xingchen tilted his head in confusion.

The old rogue gasped, feeling that all his lifelong prestige had been ruined. He lowered his head and glanced at the long whip wrapped around his body.

"Who taught you to tie it like that..."

“Ah, my master.” Duan Xingchen blinked, looking at the intertwined whip ropes and the rather beautiful binding method in front of him. “My master said that this is how you should bind people, it’s both beautiful and practical.”

Yunping lowered his head, looking at the incredibly skilled 18X bondage technique on his body, and his face darkened.

"Your master is a real genius..."

What the hell?! Masters still teach disciples this stuff these days?! Just how twisted must that master be?!

—Although he, as the teacher who feeds his disciples strange spiritual roots, has no right to say that.

10. A wild sister-complex has appeared.

Bound in a strange way by Duan Xingchen, Yun Ping walked along the way feeling quite aggrieved.

Until he stepped into the territory of the Holy Feather Sect, this white-robed youth, who had always been the one to tease others but never the one to be teased, finally tasted humiliation. This was the first time in his life that he had been bound and tied up with tortoise shells.

The whole process was like being paraded through the streets; it was incredibly shameful.

However, this method of binding doesn't seem to be very widespread in this world. It's estimated that it only appears in erotic works and pictures. Therefore, even when Yun Ping walks on the bustling street, most of the cultivators cast curious glances at him, rather than laughing uncontrollably like a certain female disciple surnamed Ye.

"You've been laughing the whole way, can't you take a break?"

Yunping stared at a silver-haired girl sitting in a wheelchair, covering her mouth and chuckling foolishly, with a gloomy expression.

"Is it my fault? I just felt... you old scoundrel, you've actually come to this, hahaha..."

"If you laugh again, next time I'll tie you up like this and parade you through the streets of Jinglin City!"

Ye Yuchan's laughter stopped abruptly.

She silently turned her head away, desperately covering her mouth with one hand to prevent herself from making a sound. However, her bright, expressive eyes were still filled with laughter, and her shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.

Ye Yuchan swore that this was the first time in a long time that she had been this happy...

After all, that damned, perverted old scoundrel finally got his punishment, and she was absolutely overjoyed!

"cut……"

Yunping couldn't help but click his tongue slightly. If it weren't for the fact that he really had to go to the Holy Feather Sect, he wouldn't have been willing to be tied up like this for half a day.

As time passed, the group, through their conversations, finally arrived at the gates of the Holy Feather Sect before sunset.

Holy Feather Sect.

Even though there was no plaque in front of the mountain gate bearing the words "Holy Feather Sect," the thousands of palaces standing on the continuous mountains hidden among the ethereal clouds still exuded an extraordinary aura. Directly above the palaces was a fierce, bright red cloud as sharp as lightning, with rich spiritual energy surging and rolling on it.

Looking around, Yunping saw that the spiritual energy inside the Holy Feather Sect was extremely rich, so much so that it would be considered a luxury to use it to cultivate precious spiritual plants. In the center of the mountain gate was a sky-reaching jade stone staircase, with ancient trees of hundreds or even thousands of years old planted on both sides of the staircase.

This enchanting, fairyland-like place is another major power in the Kuntian Domain—the Holy Feather Sect.

But problems soon followed—

Yunping doesn't remember this place.

Or rather, in his memory, this place should be a wasteland, a land affected by the lingering flames of Yangque Yinghuo, thus unable to give birth to any living beings.

Not to mention these endless mountain ranges and palaces, even the spiritual plants shouldn't exist.

How many years have passed... a hundred years? Two hundred years?

Yunping couldn't remember exactly, but it was roughly that number—such a huge change had occurred in just a hundred years.

Although a hundred years is a considerable number for an ordinary cultivator, for the old rogue... it's not much different from taking a nap.

When he woke up, the Yangque Fire Domain was gone and had been replaced by some kind of Great Luo Flame Domain, and a Holy Feather Sect had also appeared. How could he not be surprised?

Despite his confusion, Yun Ping didn't show his shock. Instead, he and Ye Yuchan and the others followed Duan Xingchen and slowly entered the mountain gate of the Holy Feather Sect, stepping onto the towering staircase.

Upon ascending the steps, the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly, gradually transforming from the lush and verdant ancient trees to a vast and expansive martial arts arena that seemed to float in mid-air, and a towering, golden pagoda that radiated a dazzling golden light—

One magnificent palace after another appeared before their eyes. Although the scene was indeed spectacular, neither Ye Yuchan nor Zhang Ruoxue showed much surprise.

—These two were once residents of the royal palace of the Lantian Empire. Although the Holy Feather Sect is indeed quite magnificent now, it still falls short of the Lantian Empire's utterly unreasonable extravagance.

As the group drew ever closer to the magnificent, pure white, sacred hall, several exclamations rang out.

"The Holy Maiden?! You are the Holy Maiden?!"
