Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 146: The Enchanting Demon, Xu You in Danger [Ten Thousand More]

Regarding the cultivation of demonic pets like the Enchanting Demon by the Joyous Union Sect, it goes against the principles of orthodox sects and is not in line with Human Daoism.

However, no one would say anything because the Joyous Union Sect claims that they cultivate these demonic pets for research purposes, not for immoral activities.

As one of the Five Sects and Seven Schools, they naturally possess the attribute of righteousness and stand on the moral high ground, belonging to the level of standardized norms.

So, how can one argue against such existence in terms of right and wrong?

If they say it's for research, then it's for research, contributing to the righteous path.

This kind of situation is common for the Five Sects and Seven Schools. Which so-called righteous force doesn't have some dirty secrets when you take a closer look?

Surface righteousness is just for show, deceiving people. In reality, it's still all about interests. Whether it's a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can be used, it's a good cat.

Therefore, when the Joyous Union Sect established an organization to cultivate demonic pets specifically for people to capture and use, no one would say anything.

And Yuan Lei's mission this time is to find the Enchanting Demon that he cultivated but escaped years ago.

Ten years ago, Yuan Lei cultivated a Supreme Grade Enchanting Demon codenamed "Ling Jiu." Its quality can be said to be something he would never be able to cultivate again in his lifetime.

Whether it's spiritual intelligence or cultivation talent, it is top-notch Supreme Grade.

At first, this Enchanting Demon, Ling Jiu, was very obedient and loyal, making outstanding contributions to the sect and receiving high praise.

Naturally, the sect relaxed its supervision of her. Later, she seized an opportunity and directly escaped, which no one had anticipated.

Because when Enchanting Demons are "manufactured," they are usually brainwashed and subjected to various restrictions to prevent them from leaving the sect. They are essentially kept captive in the Joyous Union Sect.

But Ling Jiu's intelligence was underestimated by the Joyous Union Sect. She endured humiliation and eventually succeeded in escaping after several years.

She became a "renegade" of the Joyous Union Sect.

Knowing this, Xu You couldn't help but complain. Is this Joyous Union Sect like the Hidden Leaf Village in the Divine Continent, specializing in producing renegades?

All the missions Xu You and Luo Qiaoqiao have done so far have been related to "renegades."

This made Xu You have to reevaluate the Joyous Union Sect. Could it be that this sect has been crooked from the very beginning?

In any case, after Ling Jiu's escape, she somehow managed to erase all the means that the Joyous Union Sect could use to track her.

Since then, she has wandered through the Middle Earth Continent, and there have been quite a few reports about her, all involving cruelly draining the blood essence of cultivators before leaving.

The Joyous Union Sect has never stopped searching for Ling Jiu over the years. Every time they received information about her, they would rush over immediately, but they always came up empty-handed.

They have not captured Ling Jiu all these years.

This time, they received news of Ling Jiu appearing in the Nine Gods County.

She committed another blood-draining crime, extracting the blood essence of everyone in a temple, from an eighty-year-old monk to young children.

Her methods can be described as extremely cruel.

As Ling Jiu's cultivator, Yuan Lei happened to be in Tianque City at the time, so he took it upon himself to personally go and capture Ling Jiu.

As her cultivator, he knew Ling Jiu's overall strength. Moreover, when she escaped, her strength was only at the early stage of the Fourth Realm. Monster Cultivators cultivate slowly, and in seven or eight years, they wouldn't have reached a very powerful level.

So Yuan Lei only brought one junior brother to track her, relying on his familiarity with Ling Jiu to search many places in the Nine Gods County.

Including the Ancient Cheng Mountain.

But Ling Jiu was too cunning. Yuan Lei tracked her to many places, and the leads were too scattered. The manpower of the Joyous Union Sect in Tianque City was not enough.

So he could only go to each place alone.

However, Luo Qiaoqiao, as a true disciple, has the strength to deal with Ling Jiu, who is at most at the mid-stage of the Fourth Realm, a Monster Cultivator.

After understanding all this, Xu You wasn't too worried. He treated it as an ordinary mission.

I also understand why so many people are scattered to search when an outer disciple is trapped. Yuan Lei, as such a talented person, is indeed very important.

Xu You is now more curious about the succubus. He has never really seen a succubus, only seen pictures of them.

From the photos, one can feel the enchanting charm of the succubus, with the curved horns on their heads, very eye-catching.

"Sister, how many succubi can your sect produce each year?" Xu You asked curiously.

"I don't know," Luo Qiaoqiao shook her head, "I'm not interested in this."

Luo Qiaoqiao's tone still had some disdain. She naturally didn't like the Great Dao that relied on cultivation techniques, regardless of gender.

Xu You didn't ask any more questions and continued to inquire about the details of the matter.

When the sun rose, Xu You and Luo Qiaoqiao finally arrived at Gucheng Mountain. Looking at the continuous mountains below, Luo Qiaoqiao asked,

"How do we find such a large place? Should we use the same method as last time? Ask the disciples of Gucheng Sect for help?"

"No," Xu You shook his head, "This Ling Jiu is not like that Red Rabbit Demon. Her vigilance must be extraordinary, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to escape from your Joyous Union Sect for so many years. If the disciples of Gucheng Sect were to search for her rashly, it would definitely alert her if she is really here."

Speaking of this, Xu You paused, "But I think Ling Jiu is probably not here anymore. Based on her historical pattern, she has probably run away again. Your task now is not to catch Ling Jiu, but to find Yuan Lei. Even if you can't find him, you must find any suspicious traces and information."

"Okay," Luo Qiaoqiao nodded.

"Let's split up and search Gucheng Mountain. It will be faster," Xu You suggested.

He wasn't worried about splitting up because Ling Jiu only targeted male cultivators for cultivation essence. She wouldn't provoke a powerful female cultivator like Luo Qiaoqiao. If they really encountered each other, Ling Jiu would just run away without fighting.

"Split up? What if you encounter her?" Luo Qiaoqiao asked.

"Do you still not trust my composure?" Xu You asked in return.

"Well, that's true. Wait!" Luo Qiaoqiao shook her head, "Succubi are experts at seduction, and Ling Jiu is at the apex level in this aspect. If you encounter her, it won't be easy."

"Sister, do you still not believe in my self-control? I am upright and detest evil. A mere succubus cannot seduce me."

"I trust you," Luo Qiaoqiao didn't say much. She now truly believed in Xu You's integrity.

"Okay, stay in touch and inform each other of any situation as soon as possible," Xu You instructed.

"Okay."

"I'll go left, you go right," Xu You divided the vast Gucheng Mountain in the sky with his hand.

"Okay, be careful," Luo Qiaoqiao said.

The two of them didn't say much more and each turned into a streak of light, descending into Gucheng Mountain.

Gucheng Mountain was very large. Xu You searched his assigned half from day to night, searching almost every possible place and suspicious area, but found nothing.

There was no trace left by Yuan Lei or Ling Jiu. Xu You wasn't sure if it was because his assigned half didn't have any traces or because Yuan Lei and Ling Jiu were not in Gucheng Mountain.

Just as Xu You was about to contact Luo Qiaoqiao to see how things were progressing on her side, the communication jade talisman coincidentally rang. It was Luo Qiaoqiao calling.

As soon as Xu You answered, he heard Luo Qiaoqiao's slightly urgent voice from the other side, "Xu You, you..."

Beep beep beep, the communication jade talisman was abruptly cut off, and there was still a seductive female laughter lingering.

Xu You's face changed drastically and he quickly called back, but there was no response.

Thinking of Luo Qiaoqiao's panicked voice just now, coupled with the laughter of the unfamiliar woman, a solemn expression appeared on Xu You's face.

He put away the jade talisman and shot towards the location where Luo Qiaoqiao last contacted him at the fastest speed.

Time goes back to a while ago.

In the foothills of Gucheng Mountain in Shanxi, there is a well-lit cave. The cave is quiet and elegant, with a stone slab in the center, on which lies a thin man in his thirties.

At this moment, his face is pale and hollow, showing signs of severe blood loss. Standing next to the stone slab is a seductive woman wearing a bright red dress.

The woman has a charming figure, wearing thin and translucent clothes. She has a face that brings disaster to the country and the people, with heavy makeup that enhances her seductive charm. She exudes a smoky and enchanting aura.

Especially with two curved horns on her head, she adds another level of allure to her already sexy and seductive appearance.

This form is naturally attractive to men, a seductive demon.

The seductive demon is holding a pure white mirror in her hand. The mirror surface is delicate, and it currently displays two images side by side.

One is where Xu You is located, and the other is where Luo Qiaoqiao is located. The two people in the images are completely unaware that someone is spying on them, and they are walking through the mountains and forests with concentration.

This seductive demon is none other than Ling Jiu, who defected from the Joyous Union Sect, and the person tied to the stone slab is Yuan Lei, who cultivated Ling Jiu.

If Xu You were here at this moment, he would definitely be complaining, because Ling Jiu is not at the early or middle stage of the Four Realms at all.

She is clearly at the early stage of the Fifth Realm, and judging from the solidness of her cultivation aura, she is a quite formidable early stage cultivator of the Fifth Realm, far beyond the ordinary cultivators of the Fifth Realm.

Ling Jiu, holding the white mirror, walks seductively towards Yuan Lei. "Take a look, people from your Joyous Union Sect are just foolish and arrogant."

Her voice is also full of temptation and magnetism.

Yuan Lei's face looks ugly, and he can't even speak.

Ling Jiu sneers, "Do you know why you can never catch me?"

Yuan Lei also stares at her, very puzzled. According to reason, Ling Jiu was personally cultivated by him and he knows her better than anyone else.

But not only has he not found her for so many years, even this time when he personally took action, he was played around and ended up being trapped here.

His junior brother who came with him was directly drained of his blood by Ling Jiu.

And Yuan Lei doesn't know why she didn't kill him, but instead brought him around everywhere.

Originally, he thought Ling Jiu wanted to keep him alive to torture him, but it doesn't make sense, because with him as a guide, the cultivators of the Joyous Union Sect will eventually find her.

"Because I know people from your Joyous Union Sect too well," Ling Jiu pats Yuan Lei's head contemptuously. "Keeping you alive is not to torture you, but to get a few more disciples from the Joyous Union Sect."

Her voice is full of disdain and magnetism.

"You not only understand, but you must have some special means in your hands, otherwise you wouldn't be able to escape successfully every time! And although you have excellent talent, it is impossible for you to cultivate to the Fifth Realm in these seven or eight years. How did you do it?" Yuan Lei spits out a mouthful of blood, struggling to say these words.

Ling Jiu still looks down on him, with no intention of explaining, just coldly laughing, and then disappears in a puff of green smoke.

When she reappears, she is already in a valley. She looks in the right direction and shoots towards where Luo Qiaoqiao is at the fastest speed.

At this moment, Luo Qiaoqiao is hiding and sneaking in a forest. She sensed the faint residual aura of Yuan Lei ahead, but the perception is vague and needs to pass through this forest to confirm.

But at this moment, she suddenly feels a chill in her heart and instantly jumps to another place.

Just as she leaves, a red figure appears where she just left, it is Ling Jiu who is chasing after her.

Luo Qiaoqiao recognizes Ling Jiu at a glance, but her face changes drastically because the Ling Jiu in front of her is not a cultivator at the Four Realms, but at the early stage of the Fifth Realm.

Luo Qiaoqiao never expected this, because the information in the sect clearly stated that Ling Jiu's cultivation was at the Four Realms. How did she suddenly reach the Fifth Realm?

However, she doesn't have time to think too much now. The first thing she does is to open the communication jade talisman she has been holding in her hand to contact Xu You. Then she prepares to fight with Ling Jiu and wait for Xu You to come to support.

Luo Qiaoqiao knows Xu You's current strength, ranked on the Heavenly Pride List, and having slain a Fifth Realm evil dragon. With him here, the odds of winning are basically on her side.

So what she needs to do now is to hold on until Xu You arrives.

However, she still underestimated Ling Jiu's strength, or rather, she didn't expect that Ling Jiu would not be an ordinary cultivator in the Fifth Realm after entering it. His Divine Ability techniques were superior in this realm.

In an instant, Ling Jiu appeared in front of Luo Qiaoqiao, raising the white mirror in his hand and directing a red Divine Ability spell towards Luo Qiaoqiao. The spell instantly enveloped her like thick fog.

The moment she came into contact with the mist, Luo Qiaoqiao instantly lost her ability to resist and fell softly to the ground, regretting her actions.

She regretted informing Xu You so rashly. If he is so powerful, he might also fall victim to Ling Jiu's poison. Thinking of this, Luo Qiaoqiao felt endless remorse.

But her consciousness quickly faded away, and she collapsed on the ground.

Ling Jiu put away the mist and looked calmly at Luo Qiaoqiao.

Now, she was waiting for Xu You, the person Luo Qiaoqiao had contacted. Thinking of Xu You's cultivation level, which was filled with Apex Level spirituality, Ling Jiu's heart burned with desire.

This kind of male cultivator was at the Supreme Grade level, a level that couldn't be compensated for with quantity alone.

After a while, Ling Jiu left behind a prominent line of words: If you want to save your little lover, don't seek any external help. Come alone, or else suffer the consequences.

Having experienced the joys and sorrows of the world for a long time, Ling Jiu had seen countless infatuated men and women. She could naturally see the special relationship between Luo Qiaoqiao and Xu You in the mirror.

As someone who had been on the run from the Joyous Union Sect for many years, she was well aware of the nature of these disciples from the Five Sects and Seven Sects. Whenever they encountered a danger they couldn't handle, they would call for help from their elders.

The purpose of leaving these words was to prevent Xu You from seeking help from the outside and to prevent him from secretly seeking help behind her back. Her mirror could see through Xu You's every move.

Afterwards, she left with the unconscious Luo Qiaoqiao, deliberately leaving traces along the way so that Xu You could follow them.

Ling Jiu sneaked all the way and quickly brought Luo Qiaoqiao back to the cave, casually throwing her on the ground.

By now, Luo Qiaoqiao had slowly regained consciousness. Her head was a little dizzy as she looked around, and her memories from earlier came flooding back.

Her face changed slightly, and she tried to move, but her entire body was immobile. She had no control over her body whatsoever.

A sense of fatigue and powerlessness spread from her soul to her entire body. Not only could she not move, but she couldn't even use her cultivation.

"Don't waste your energy. Your cultivation cannot break through my Divine Ability. Just stay still," Ling Jiu said coldly.

Luo Qiaoqiao looked up at the other person, her face looking unpleasant. Soon, her gaze fell on Yuan Lei, who was lying on the stone slab, and she quickly called out.

"Senior Yuan, are you okay?"

"It's nothing." Yuan Lei weakly apologized, "I'm sorry, Junior Luo, for causing you to end up like this. Don't use your cultivation power rashly now.

This demon woman's Divine Ability acts on the soul to seal your cultivation. If you forcefully use your cultivation, it will only damage your foundation."

Luo Qiaoqiao nodded. She had countless questions in her mind at the moment, but she knew that Yuan Lei couldn't give her any answers, otherwise he wouldn't be controlled here as well.

Therefore, Luo Qiaoqiao shifted her gaze to Ling Jiu and said in a calm tone, "Ling Jiu, I am a disciple of Venerable Huanxi. If you kill me, my master will never let you go, no matter where you go.

If you let us go, I, Luo Qiaoqiao, swear by my Dao heart that my master will guarantee your safety. From then on, Joyous Union Sect will no longer pursue you, granting you freedom to go wherever you want."

Ling Jiu didn't expect Luo Qiaoqiao to have such a powerful background, but so what? She sneered. If it were seven or eight years ago, she might have been tempted.

Because being protected by Venerable Huanxi's identity would have been completely unquestionable. But now it was impossible.

Of course, after learning Luo Qiaoqiao's specific identity, Ling Jiu would not harm her anymore. After draining Xu You, she would naturally let her go.

She was able to evade pursuit for so many years, largely because she knew who to target. She wouldn't touch disciples from larger sects like Joyous Union Sect, otherwise killing the younger ones would only bring the older ones after her, and she wouldn't have been able to live freely for so many years.

"Do you know how I've lived these years!" Ling Jiu's face twisted slightly. "In your Joyous Union Sect, I was treated as less than human, becoming the cornerstone of your cultivation progress.

The righteous sects all engaged in despicable acts. When I escaped from that day, I swore that one day I would annihilate all the cultivators of your Joyous Union Sect and drain every drop of their blood!"

"Do you think you can accomplish that alone?" Luo Qiaoqiao asked calmly.

Ling Jiu didn't answer that question. Instead, she took out the white treasure mirror and looked at the image of Xu You speeding inside.

When Luo Qiaoqiao saw the appearance of the treasure mirror, her face first showed some confusion, but then she seemed to remember something and blurted out, "The Haotian Mirror?"

"Hmm? You do have some insight." Ling Jiu glanced at Luo Qiaoqiao.

Luo Qiaoqiao finally understood why Ling Jiu had not been hunted down by the Joyous Union Sect for so many years, all thanks to the Haotian Treasure Mirror.

The Haotian Treasure Mirror was once a Divine Weapon on the Divine Weapon List of the Divine Continent. Although it ranked last, its functionality should not be underestimated.

It was not a purely combat-oriented Divine Weapon, but an auxiliary Divine Weapon, with two key Divine Abilities.

The first point was that the Haotian Treasure Mirror could unleash a strange red mist. This mist acted on the divine soul, and it could be said that cultivators below the Five Realms who were enveloped by this mist would instantly lose their combat power.

Their divine souls would be imprisoned, rendering them unable to perform any magical techniques. Even if a cultivator at the Five Realms encountered this mist, their divine soul power would be mostly imprisoned, and their strength and Divine Ability would be reduced to only about thirty to forty percent.

Only cultivators at the Heavenly Dao Realm would be completely unaffected by this mist.

The second point, and the most crucial one, was that this was a Divine Weapon specifically targeting the Joyous Union Sect.

The origin of this Haotian Treasure Mirror could be traced back to a force called the Haotian Sect. Four to five thousand years ago, the Haotian Sect was considered one of the prominent forces in the Divine Continent.

Although it couldn't compare to the Five Sects and Seven Sects, it was still a top-tier force below them.

Later, the Haotian Sect had a major conflict of interest with the Joyous Union Sect, and the two sides became mortal enemies.

It was during that time that a genius artifact refining master from the Haotian Sect created the Divine Weapon called the Haotian Treasure Mirror.

This treasure mirror was specifically designed to target cultivators of the Joyous Union Sect. It could automatically detect the aura of Joyous Union Sect disciples within a radius of several hundred miles and locate their positions.

Moreover, the mirror could project images of the locations where these Joyous Union Sect disciples were. This function was truly extraordinary.

The reason it could achieve this was said to be due to the power of luck and causality during its refinement.

Naturally, disciples of the Joyous Union Sect would be entangled with the unique luck and causality of the sect, so they could be directly captured and located by this Haotian Treasure Mirror.

Later, that artifact refining master replicated dozens of Haotian Treasure Mirrors using the same method, exhausting the entire sect's resources. It was unknown how much wealth was spent.

These Haotian Treasure Mirrors clearly played a significant role. During the last Great Dao Era, the Haotian Sect and the Joyous Union Sect waged a full-scale war to compete for luck. These Haotian Treasure Mirrors greatly contributed on the battlefield.

Countless cultivators of the Joyous Union Sect died under the ambush of the Haotian Treasure Mirrors.

Of course, in the end, the Joyous Union Sect still emerged victorious, but the cost was much more devastating than anticipated due to the Haotian Treasure Mirrors.

Afterward, the Haotian Sect was directly annihilated by the Joyous Union Sect, and all their legacies were completely wiped out. All the Haotian Treasure Mirrors were destroyed as well.

Including all the methods and techniques related to the refinement of the Haotian Treasure Mirror, they were all burned, and there was no longer any Haotian Treasure Mirror in the world. There was no longer any Divine Weapon that could target the Joyous Union Sect.

This Haotian Treasure Mirror, which was refined based on luck and causality, was very famous in the Divine Continent at that time. So even though it was not a main combat Divine Weapon, it still made it onto the Divine Weapon List.

Now, thousands of years have passed, and almost no one in the world knows that there was once such a Haotian Treasure Mirror. Luo Qiaoqiao only learned about it from chatting with Yun Yanjin before.

She never expected to encounter it here, and it was even obtained by Ling Jiu.

"How did you get this Haotian Treasure Mirror?" Luo Qiaoqiao asked.

Xu You was still on his way, and it would take some time for him to arrive. Ling Jiu was in a good mood at the moment and smiled with narrowed eyes, "I have to thank your Joyous Union Sect for this."

"If it weren't for the excellent training I received from your Joyous Union Sect, I wouldn't have been able to obtain this treasure mirror."

Although Ling Jiu's words sounded light, Luo Qiaoqiao could naturally sense the hatred she had towards the Joyous Union Sect from her tone.

She could also sense that the Haotian Treasure Mirror was not something that could be easily obtained; there must have been many twists and turns involved.

Considering that Ling Jiu, as an Apex Level Succubus, not only had to face the pursuit of the Joyous Union Sect but also had to deal with the covetousness of many others while traveling outside, the price she paid for her rapid progress in strength over the years could be imagined.

Most likely, she had developed her Succubus attributes to the extreme.

"So, you captured Senior Yuan but deliberately stayed here?" Luo Qiaoqiao asked directly.

"You're quite clever," Ling Jiu replied calmly. "Yes, I am at a critical point in my cultivation. I need the essence blood of a cultivator who practices the Huanhe Great Dao."

Unfortunately, you are a woman, but it's not a loss because the quality of your little companion named Xu You is better than any bloodthirsty creature I have ever seen.

After speaking, Ling Jiu licked her crimson tongue, exuding an indescribable charm.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiaoqiao was first stunned, then angrily asked, "What do you want to do to Xu You?"

"You'll find out soon," Ling Jiu smiled with narrowed eyes. "Don't worry, after I extract everything from him, I will send you to meet him. Since you know about the Haotian Mirror, I can't let you leave."

For now, Luo Qiaoqiao couldn't be killed yet. Ling Jiu wasn't sure if the Joyous Union Sect or Xu You had any means to sense Luo Qiaoqiao's soul disappearing.

After dealing with Xu You, Ling Jiu would carefully handle these loose ends, ensuring enough time to escape.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiaoqiao's anger surged. She wasn't afraid of being killed by Ling Jiu, but she worried about what would happen if Xu You also fell victim to Ling Jiu's schemes.

Ling Jiu was ruthless and had shed too much blood. Luo Qiaoqiao's mind was filled with concern for Xu You. She shouldn't have gone to see him yesterday.

"Xu You is not my companion," Luo Qiaoqiao quickly tried to distance herself from their relationship.

Ling Jiu sneered, "If he has nothing to do with you, why would he be involved in your cause and effect? How else could the Haotian Mirror detect him? Besides, I only want his blood essence. Whether he is related to you or not is irrelevant."

"Ling Jiu, it doesn't matter if you kill me, but you can't harm Xu You. He is the most outstanding young disciple of Kunlun right now. If he dies, Kunlun will never let you go."

Especially Xu You's master, Mo Yuhuang, would never let you go. The Haotian Mirror is useless against the people of Kunlun," Luo Qiaoqiao continued speaking rapidly.

These words actually made Ling Jiu fall into contemplation. Her principle had always been to avoid provoking people with extraordinary backgrounds.

If she killed Luo Qiaoqiao, she could barely survive under the protection of the Haotian Mirror in the Joyous Union Sect. But if Xu You's background was really that powerful, it would be difficult to kill him. She wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of Kunlun.

Seeing Ling Jiu lost in thought, Luo Qiaoqiao quickly added, "I'm telling the truth. You really can't touch Xu You. Kunlun will never let you go!"

"Annoying," Ling Jiu used her magic to seal Luo Qiaoqiao's mouth, then stood up to ponder her next move.

If she hadn't seen Xu You before, she wouldn't have taken the risk. But now that she had seen him, how could she resist the temptation of his spiritual essence? It was like Tang Sanzang's temptation by the female demons.

To give an analogy, if the goddess you had been secretly in love with for over ten years agreed to let you do whatever you wanted, you wouldn't just hold hands for one night, right?

It was an impossible situation, and Ling Jiu was determined. Xu You was hers! Even if she had to run to another continent afterwards and never set foot in Zhongtu Tianzhou again.

Greedy desire and longing made Ling Jiu decide to take a risk.

Luo Qiaoqiao looked at Ling Jiu, her eyes calm and determined. If they couldn't come to an agreement, they would have to fight.

She couldn't let Xu You be implicated. At the very least, she had to ensure her own escape without putting Xu You in danger.

She still had the life-saving methods left by Yun Yanjin, although they couldn't kill Ling Jiu, they could still inflict heavy damage.

The problem now was that her soul was imprisoned, and she couldn't use her cultivation. But Luo Qiaoqiao didn't think too much about it. Even if her foundation was damaged, she couldn't let Ling Jiu harm Xu You.

With that in mind, Luo Qiaoqiao concentrated and thought of a plan to deliver a fatal blow, helping herself and Xu You escape from Ling Jiu's clutches.

She couldn't fight now; she needed time. Her cultivation was far inferior to Ling Jiu's, and even if she wanted to counterattack at the cost of her foundation, she needed time to gather her limited cultivation.

Luo Qiaoqiao closed her eyes and focused.

On the other side, Xu You had just arrived at the forest where Luo Qiaoqiao had disappeared. He had no idea about the difficulties Luo Qiaoqiao was facing or the fact that the Daoist girl was willing to risk her life to fight the enemy and ensure his safety.

Xu You crouched on the ground, sensing all the residual energy, not for a prolonged battle, but to defeat Luo Qiaoqiao in one strike.

If that were the case, it meant that the opponent was definitely not a cultivator of the Fourth Realm.

Because with Luo Qiaoqiao's strength and the various methods she possessed from Yun Yanjin, it would be impossible for her to be defeated so easily by someone of the same realm.

So the opponent was at least a cultivator of the Fifth Realm, or even possibly the Sixth Realm.

Xu You's gaze fell again on the line of characters left on the ground, written in a graceful and delicate style typical of a woman.

Well, well, it's the distinct style of a foolish female antagonist.

"Your woman is in my hands. Don't call the police, or else she'll be harmed!"

The move is old, but effective. Xu You hesitated to contact the Joyous Union Sect or the Kunlun Gate. The situation is not clear enough at the moment, and hastily contacting them would indeed threaten Luo Qiaoqiao's safety.

Xu You slowly stood up and followed the faint traces of Luo Qiaoqiao's aura left in the distance.

It's obvious that the other party deliberately left them to make me go and save Luo Qiaoqiao.

How did the other party know that we came together and about our intimate relationship?

It's as if everything has been seen by others since I entered this Gu Cheng Mountain, with no privacy at all.

Xu You couldn't figure out or understand this point, nor did he know who the enemy was and what their purpose was in luring him over.

Xu You didn't know any of these things, but he still had to jump into the enemy's obvious conspiracy.

However, Xu You wasn't worried. Even if the other party is a Five Realm cultivator, with his current abilities, he could not only kill the opponent, but also ensure his own safety.

Even if the other party is a Six Realm cultivator, with the Ghost Shadow Clone Escape Jade Talisman and Mo Yuhuang's Sword Qi Jade Talisman, he could still ensure his own safety.

As for the possibility of the other party being a Heavenly Realm cultivator, Xu You didn't even consider it. Such experts are far superior in strength, so how could they take a Four Realm cultivator as a hostage?

Relying on his numerous trump cards, Xu You directly followed the trail.

At this moment, inside the Cave Mansion, Ling Jiu looked at Xu You's figure rushing in the Haotian Treasure Mirror and said to Luo Qiaoqiao, "It seems that you two have a good relationship."

Xu You indeed didn't inform anyone and came alone to find you.

A mere Four Realm cultivator dares to come alone. He is indeed a devoted man, which is rare to see."

Luo Qiaoqiao looked coldly at Ling Jiu, then suddenly spewed out a mouthful of essence blood. Her face instantly withered, but her cultivation returned.

Without hesitation, she quickly stood up and rapidly formed hand seals with both hands.

A dark red Rakshasa hand appeared above Ling Jiu, pressing down like Mount Tai.

Then she threw a jade talisman, and seven or eight golden flame dragons spewed out, their power extremely terrifying, each dragon no weaker than a full-force strike from a Five Realm cultivator.

At this moment, Ling Jiu's face changed drastically. She didn't expect Luo Qiaoqiao to break free from the suppression of her soul, nor did she expect her methods to be so well understood.

Faced with this overwhelming attack, Ling Jiu didn't dare to underestimate it. She fully utilized her cultivation to resist.

Boom! The continuous sound of explosions echoed around Ling Jiu, and smoke filled the entire cave.

Luo Qiaoqiao seized the opportunity to quickly escape, looking back at Yuan Lei, who was thrown into disarray by the shockwave.

Luo Qiaoqiao felt somewhat guilty. Her mission was to save him, but now she could only leave him behind.

There was no other way. Yuan Lei's importance couldn't compare to Xu You's. Moreover, Ling Jiu didn't immediately intend to kill him. Once she was safe, she would find a way for the people in the sect to rescue him.

Luo Qiaoqiao apologized in her heart, then resolutely ran away, preparing to meet up with Xu You.

At this moment, Luo Qiaoqiao's body was in turmoil. Under the damage to her foundation and the consecutive use of such a powerful Divine Ability, she would need at least half a year to recover.

But Luo Qiaoqiao naturally didn't care about her current injuries. As long as Xu You was safe, her damaged foundation was nothing!

Sob, sob, it's still quite serious!

Luo Qiaoqiao felt like crying. Why is it that every time she and Xu You go out, nothing good happens? Damn it!

The smoke in the cave gradually dissipated, and Ling Jiu's figure slowly appeared. Her clothes were disheveled, highlighting a touch of charm.

The horns on her head were almost scorched, and her aura was in disarray. She had suffered considerable injuries.

Facing so many fire dragons, if it weren't for her Divine Weapon protecting her, she would have been severely injured if not dead just now.

At this moment, her face looked particularly ugly, gritting her teeth. Luo Qiaoqiao would definitely torture her later!

Otherwise, it would be difficult to dispel the hatred in her heart at this moment. She had almost been killed by such a little girl.

Ling Jiu took out the Bright Sky Treasure Mirror to search for Luo Qiaoqiao's location, then shot out at an astonishing speed to chase and kill her.

As Luo Qiaoqiao fled, she flew rapidly in the direction she came from, while using a communication jade talisman to contact Xu You.

"Is it Senior Sister? How are you now? Are you okay?"

Listening to Xu You's voice coming from the jade talisman, Luo Qiaoqiao didn't have time to explain much. She immediately said, "I'm escaping, being chased by a Five Realms cultivator behind me.

That demon is at the early stage of the Five Realms. Don't come towards me, let's retreat together."

"It's okay, I'll come to your side immediately." Xu You immediately heard the sound of Luo Qiaoqiao being heavily injured. How could she turn around and run away?

That was not something a person would do. With the direction in mind, Xu You immediately used her cultivation to shoot over at the fastest speed.

Luo Qiaoqiao was a little anxious and was about to persuade Xu You when her expression suddenly changed. She turned her head and saw Ling Jiu shooting towards her at an astonishing speed.

Seeing that Ling Jiu was about to catch up to her, although Ling Jiu looked a bit embarrassed, her aura was still steady. Even from this distance, Luo Qiaoqiao could feel the other party's anger.

Obviously, the sneak attack just now had made the other party furious.

The full-powered flight of a Five Realms cultivator was something Luo Qiaoqiao couldn't avoid. She directly stopped her figure and assumed a fighting stance.

Soon, Ling Jiu made an abrupt stop in front of Luo Qiaoqiao. Looking at Luo Qiaoqiao's pale face, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Is that Xu You worth sacrificing your foundation for?"

Luo Qiaoqiao just coldly looked at the other party.

"Men are not good creatures, they only think with their lower body. I will let you see Xu You's true face later! But before that, I have to make sure you can't move."

At the end, Ling Jiu's face had twisted, and then she instantly appeared in front of Luo Qiaoqiao. She formed hand seals, and a violent whirlwind rose from the ground, crushing everything in its path.

Seeing the whirlwind approaching Luo Qiaoqiao, she gritted her teeth and took out several talismans. She was about to use them when a domineering Sword Qi suddenly descended from the sky.

The Sword Qi appeared out of nowhere, like a golden army, tearing through the center of the whirlwind and descending.

The huge whirlwind scattered, and finally, a flying sword with burning flames appeared in the Sword Qi, piercing straight into the ground.

Xu You slowly descended from the sky, stepping on the hilt of the sword with one foot, calmly looking at Ling Jiu in front of her.

This was the first time he had seen a living demon, and it was an Apex Level demon at that. Leaving aside everything else, in terms of appearance and charm, the current Ling Jiu was at the top.

It wasn't that she was the most beautiful, but the unique charm and femininity that radiated from her inside and out.

Especially her seductive appearance and hot and sexy figure, coupled with the sense of brokenness brought about by her current disheveled state.

The most crucial thing was the pair of exquisite curved horns on her head.

Damn, all the elements were there!

No man could resist looking at her. It's no wonder that so many Demonic Cultivators regarded demons as Divine Maidens, she truly deserved it.

"Senior Sister, didn't you say that the demon was at the Four Realms? How did she suddenly become Five Realms? I thought you encountered a different enemy." Xu You asked.

"I don't know either." Luo Qiaoqiao shook her head.

"I found that the intelligence department of your Joyous Union Sect is not very reliable. I suggest disbanding it. Every time it's like this, it puts people in a passive position." Xu You joked.

Seeing that Xu You could still joke easily, Luo Qiaoqiao lightly punched his arm, indicating that he should treat the enemy seriously.
