Chaos Spirit Field

When Qian Dafu received the news from the demon clan, he was completely stunned. He had just opened up trade channels with the sea clan and was about to make a big move, but the demon clan suddenly wanted to stop trading! And the reason was too bizarre—a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage had actually looted the caves of the five demon kings! How could this be possible?

A cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage is like a nuclear weapon; it's impossible to just pick someone to take the blame. Just as Qian Dafu was racking his brains over how to deal with this thorny issue, his son-in-law, Lü Buwei, suddenly spoke up, "Father-in-law, think about it. Aside from the people from our Merchant Alliance, the only other human cultivator who has entered Demon King City is Zhao Shanhe. Could it be... him?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Dafu flew into a rage and shouted, "You bastard! Can't you use your brains? Do you think you can get away with just putting the blame on a dead person? Those five demon kings are not pushovers. If they were so easily fooled, why would I even bother with this? You're not helping me, and you're just causing me trouble!"

Lu Buwei quickly said, "Father-in-law, calm down. I'm talking about the person behind Zhao Shanhe."

"Zhao Shanhe's adoptive father is Li Changsheng, the second elder of the Dan League. Are you planning to use him as a scapegoat?"

"Father-in-law, doesn't he have a foster father, Zhao Xuanji? He's not of high status, so he's just the right person to take the blame."

Qian Dafu sneered sinisterly, "I think you're the right person to take the blame. How could I have been so blind to take in a fool like you as my son-in-law? This can only be blamed on the demons. Who knows how much the five demon kings have lost? What are you standing there for? Get out of here."

Lu Buwei left in disgrace. He held a grudge against Zhao Shanhe, even though the other party was dead.

Master Gui felt uneasy. After some investigation, he found out the sect Zhao Shanhe belonged to - the Qingniu Sect. He sneaked in.

The Qingniu Sect was only a first-rate sect, a place untouched for a Spiritual Transformation Stage expert like Gui Zhenren. After a thorough investigation, he still couldn't find any trace of Zhao Shanhe, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. Perhaps he had really scared himself. At this moment, a powerful spiritual consciousness swept over him like a hurricane, instantly locking onto him. Then, a beautiful and ethereal girl appeared before him like a ghost, staring at him with a sharp gaze, and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you explore the Qingniu Sect without permission!"

The visitor was none other than Yang Hui, whose spiritual awareness was exceptionally powerful due to her cultivation of the peerless secret manual, the Taiyin Sutra. Gui Zhenren was startled by this sudden questioning. When he saw that the person before him was so young yet possessed the strength of a Nascent Soul, a murderous intent welled up within him, wanting to stifle this human genius before his time of growth.

However, at this moment, the clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, with thunder and lightning. A dazzling flash of lightning swooped down on him like a giant dragon. Master Turtle was horrified. If it weren't for his incredibly strong tortoise shell, he would have been dead by now. Terrified, he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Queen Heaven, spare my life! Little Turtle, I meant no offense. Please spare my life!"

Before he finished speaking, the dark clouds in the sky vanished in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, Master Gui fled the scene. Watching him retreat, Yang Hui shouted, "Don't leave, monster! Return my brother to me. If anything happens to my brother, the monster clan will be buried with him!"

The escaping Master Gui suddenly felt that a disaster was about to happen. Why did he meddle in other people's business? Who would have thought that the powerful person in heaven who had a dispute with Zhao Shanhe was actually the Queen Mother? Unfortunately, there was no medicine to regret, and it was too late to repent.

Yang Hui, who wasn't a Spiritual Transformation Stage Turtle Master, felt the killing intent within her almost overflowing, and she was in danger of going insane. Then a familiar voice came over, instantly bringing her back to her composure. "Little Yang Hui, I haven't seen you in a few years. You've grown so fast. You're almost as tall as my chin. How old are you?"

The person who came was Zhao Shanhe, who followed Master Gui. He was afraid that his elder brother's tragedy would happen again, so he hid underground and prepared for a sneak attack.

Seeing the familiar figure, Yang Hui could no longer suppress her inner longing and threw herself into Zhao Shanhe's arms, hugging him tightly. She said, "Brother, I thought I would never see you again."

Zhao Shanhe pinched her nose and said, "Little fool, your brother won't die so easily. You've already reached the Nascent Soul stage. You're improving really fast."

Yang Hui said distressedly: "Brother, how did you fall to the Qi Refining Stage? You must have suffered a lot."

Zhao Shanhe said awkwardly, "I forgot about this. Now take a look at my cultivation level."

"Brother, you've reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage, so amazing. You're so bad, you actually lied to me. This is the effect of the Taiyin Sutra."

Zhao Shanhe pinched Yang Hui's cheek and said, "Little Yang Hui, can you not be so smart? I'm only at the Core Formation Stage."

Yang Hui retorted: "Brother, I am not young anymore. I am already seventeen years old. I can give birth to a child for you."

Zhao Shanhe reached out and gently wiped his forehead, but there was no sweat. Deep down, he was actually quite moved. Yang Hui, now a grown-up, was truly captivating, her blend of charm and grace irresistible. However, what Gui Zhenren had just said left him unsure, so he couldn't help but ask, "Yang Hui, why did Gui Zhenren just call you the Queen of Heaven?"

Yang Hui also looked confused. He shook his head and said, "Brother, how would I know what he's crazy about? Where have you been all these years? There's not even a word from you."

Zhao Shanhe took a deep breath and answered slowly, "Well, it's a long story. Back then, I was captured by that damned turtle and taken to the Demon King City. I finally escaped after going through untold hardships. Before I came back, I did some shady things. Don't let anyone know that I'm still alive, or you'll get yourself killed. I've already completed the rest of the Water Injection Sutra. Don't pout all the time. When you reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage, we'll have a baby. I'll send you some resources for your cultivation later. The Sect Leader seems to have arrived, so I have to leave quickly. Remember, you must never reveal the fact that I'm still alive to anyone."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Shanhe suddenly vanished. Yang Hui followed suit, silently departing. Meanwhile, Tantai Mieming arrived at the location. Gazing at the massive crater cleaved by lightning, he felt a chill run down his spine. He wondered which late-Nascent Soul expert had survived the Heavenly Tribulation while at the Spiritualization stage of the Qingniu Sect. It looked like he was a demon cultivator, and it seemed he had succeeded.
