A tall figure emerged from the shadows of the passage.
The newcomer looked to be around forty years old, with long dark red hair flowing down her shoulders. His eyes burned like torches, and he radiated the extraordinary aura of a level four Great Luo Golden Immortal. He was none other than the Leader of the Blood Refining Sect—Venerable Crimson Sun.
He stood outside the cage, looking at Jiang Xuelan. His gaze stopped for a moment on her pale but still beautiful face, a glimmer of greed and passion flashed in his eyes.
His Xuanbing Dao Body and Chiyang Liquid Fire Technique were a perfect match. If they successfully cultivate and fuse, his cultivation level can at least break through the peak of the fifth rank of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and he may even be able to touch the threshold of the sixth rank.
“Kid, I’m giving you one last chance.”
Venerable Red Sun spoke, his voice low and slightly impatient, “It’s not easy for you to cultivate in the lower realms. Just being able to ascend to the twenty-second heaven is already a great opportunity.”
“I value talent and don’t want to use force. If you obey and submit to me, I can give you the position of Vice Sect Leader, along with spiritual stones, magic treasures, and cultivation techniques—whatever you call it. But if you still don’t know your place…”
His tone suddenly turned cold: “I have a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead, but you still won’t be able to escape the fate of practicing cultivation with me.”
Jiang Xuelan slowly opened her eyes, her icy blue pupils filled with sneer and disdain. He stared at Venerable Chiyang and said, word for word, “I would rather destroy the foundation of my own Dao than let you touch a single hair on my head.”
His palm suddenly lit up, and the ice blue primeval core suddenly expanded. Frost instantly spread across the cage, freezing the hot red stone walls with a thick layer of white frost!
Crimson Sun Venerable’s expression changed, and he subconsciously took half a step back.
He could clearly feel that the essence of the source energy in the woman’s palm was about to explode.
The initial explosion of the Xuanbing Dao Body was not trivial. Even though his cultivation was several levels higher than his opponent, he was absolutely unwilling to endure the impact of freezing everything without any defense.
“you”
Venerable Red Sun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger and hatred, “You don’t want to listen to reason, so you have to drink this cup of punishment!”
But in the end, he didn’t dare to take risks with Jiang Xuelan’s determination.
He rolled up his sleeves and walked away, his red robe fluttering in the hot wind. His voice was filled with pent-up anger: “Watch him! Don’t let him have the chance to destroy himself!”
As the footsteps disappeared into the distance, the cold aura in the cage slowly subsided, and the Origin Core in Jiang Xuelan’s hand sank back into the depths of her dantian.
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. The effort he had just made had drained his remaining strength. Now, he was leaning limply against the cold stone wall, gasping for breath, but his icy blue eyes still shone with a stubborn and determined light.
He looked up at the dark red dome above the cage and muttered softly “David where are you”
Outside the cage, Venerable Chiyang returned to the sect council hall with overflowing anger.
He sat down heavily on the main seat, slamming his hand down and smashing the jade tea table beside him, his expression alternating between anger and hesitation.
The elders in the main hall remained silent, no one daring to make a sound.
After a long pause, a skinny, bearded elder carefully stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, “Sect Leader, please calm down. I have a plan that might make that woman submit.”
The Red Sun Venerable raised his eyes, a ray of light flashing in them: “Speak.”
The elder lowered his voice, with an evil glint in his eyes: “When I was traveling in my youth, I obtained a rare medicine from an ancient ruin called ‘Crimson Phoenix Magic Powder’.”
This medicine is colorless and odorless, and dissolves instantly in water. After a cultivator drank it, their consciousness would become clouded for a while, their blood would boil, and their lust would increase.
At that time, not only would he have the Xuanbing Dao Body, but even the ten thousand year old iceberg would melt from a gentle touch.
Once he lost his mind, regardless of whether the sect leader performed dual cultivation or not, his self-destruction or resistance would be futile.
After hearing that, the anger in Venerable Chiyang’s eyes slowly subsided, replaced by a cold and satisfied smile.
He nodded slowly: “Okay. I’ll leave this matter to you. If you succeed, I will give you a generous reward.”
That night, a servant brought a bowl of dark red medicinal soup to the Red Flame Prison.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at Jiang Xuelan’s cold eyes, then placed the medicine bowl on the edge of the cage, his voice almost inaudible: “Sect leader ordered to send healing and recovery medicine to young miss.”
