After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

"I originally thought it was foolish of you to hand over the Yin-Yang Samsara Mirror to that brat."

In the distance, the woman raised her chin slightly, and the mockery in her eyes became more and more intense, as if it could penetrate the air.

"I didn't expect you to dare to leave the soul-nurturing coffin and run out to save him." Her words pierced Qing Shu like an ice blade.

"Qingshu, Qingshu, you are really starving. You treat a man who looks like him like this." The disdainful arc at the corner of the woman's mouth became more obvious, as if she was laughing at Qingshu's ridiculous behavior.

Qingshu stood there, her body swaying a little, but she straightened her back stubbornly like a proud pine tree, and looked at the woman without fear.

"How long can your strength last after leaving the Soul-Nourishing Coffin?" the woman continued sarcastically.

"Soul-stealing!"

Qing Shu ignored the woman's taunts. Her hands quickly formed seals, her movements flowing smoothly. In an instant, a gigantic bell-shaped phantom materialized, emitting a cold glow like a monstrous beast with its jaws agape. With a whoosh, it enveloped the woman tightly. The bell-shaped phantom seemed substantial, swaying slightly and emitting a low, humming sound.

"Qingpo!"

Just as the giant bell's shadow enveloped the woman, a blinding white light suddenly burst forth from within, like a blazing sun exploding. Immediately afterwards, the seemingly indestructible bell began to crackle from the inside out, instantly opening into countless fissures before dissipating like a shattered mirror.

The woman was unharmed, a mocking smile still on her lips. She took light steps and slowly walked towards Qing Shu. At this moment, Qing Shu seemed to have suffered a very serious backlash. Her already slightly weak aura became even more disordered, and her face was as pale as paper.

"Aren't you curious about who I am? Then I'll tell you."

"I'm originally from the Xianming Sect..."

It turned out that the woman's name was Yu Yao, a saint of the Xianming Sect two thousand years ago. Back then, she was arrogant and ambitious. After hearing that the man had come to Qingshu a hundred years ago and gave her the Yin-Yang Samsara Mirror, she immediately had evil intentions.

After that person left, Qing Shu's health had deteriorated, and she could only sleep in the Soul-Nourishing Coffin. It would be a waste to keep such a precious treasure on her. Most importantly, she had heard that the person was dead.

So, Yu Yao sneaked into the forbidden area, intending to steal the Yin-Yang Samsara Mirror. But just then, she witnessed a scene she would never forget! Sect Master Qing You was kneeling before the Soul-Raising Coffin, an expression of utmost respect, reporting something. Everyone knew Qing Shu was the Sect Master's biological daughter, but this scene shocked Yu Yao so much that her eyes widened, her heart as if gripped by an invisible hand.

Yu Yao panicked, trying to flee this troubled place, but accidentally made a slight noise. Sect Master Qing You whipped around like an enraged beast, his eyes piercing like a knife, shooting straight at her. Yu Yao trembled with fear.

According to sect rules, anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area will be thrown into the Immortal Execution Platform and exiled to the lower realms. Of course, whether or not one can return alive to the lower realms is another matter. Qing You's expression was stern, unmoved by Yu Yao's pleading.

Qing You's eyes flashed, and a light flashed in his hand, and he quickly slashed at Yu Yao's Dao Flower. The Dao Flower shattered instantly, and the light scattered. Yu Yao screamed in pain, his face full of despair. Qing You then attacked again, ruthlessly peeling off Yu Yao's Dao Fruit. The moment the Dao Fruit was forcibly peeled off, Yu Yao's body shook violently, as if he had suffered a fatal blow. Then, Qing You mobilized his spiritual power and ruthlessly destroyed the foundation of Yu Yao's Dao. Yu Yao collapsed to the ground, his breath weak. Finally, Qing You waved his hand, and a powerful force rolled up Yu Yao and directly hit him into the Zhuxiantai. Yu Yao's figure passed through the air, carrying endless grief and despair.

Fortunately, Yu Yao tenaciously survived the divine punishment. However, her face was mercilessly shattered by the divine punishment, turning her once beautiful features into a hideous and horrifying one. Her soul also suffered extremely severe trauma, and she endured unspeakable pain at all times.

Having survived, Yu Yao initially harbored no desire for revenge. She knew full well that in her current state, she was doomed to never return to the immortal realm. With a determined heart, she murdered a prostitute, cruelly removed her mask, and placed it on her own. Afterward, Yu Yao quietly retreated into seclusion. Now, all she possessed was the long lifespan of her former Immortal King realm. Each day was filled with pain and loneliness, uncertain of her future.

Ten years can see the passing of spring and the coming of autumn, a hundred years can witness birth, aging, sickness, and death, and a thousand years can lament the change of dynasties. During these long years, the rules of heaven seem to have shifted, and the lower realms of immortals will no longer exist. Yet, all remains unrelated to Yu Yao. She is like a passing traveler, quietly awaiting the arrival of death.

Until one day, without any warning, a coffin fell from the sky, and the entire northern border was quickly shrouded in fog...

At that moment, a seed of revenge quietly sprouted in Yu Yao's dry heart. The flame of revenge gradually ignited in her eyes. The emotions that had been suppressed for so long by pain and loneliness surged like a volcano about to erupt, simply because she recognized the coffin.

Yu Yao came into the fog, where she met the inner sect elder sent by Qingyou to protect Qingshu.

Although the Inner Sect Elder had also suffered severe injuries after descending to the mortal realm, compared to Yu Yao who had descended from the Immortal Execution Platform, it was nothing compared to him. The Inner Sect Elder still retained the strength of a peak Tribulation Crossing cultivator, while she had difficulty killing a Spiritual Transformation Stage cultivator.

So, Yu Yao used all his skills and took great pains to climb onto the bed of the inner sect elder.

Hundreds of years later, Yu Yao gradually gained the trust of the inner sect elder through his own means.

From the inner sect elder, Yu Yao learned that the Xianming Sect was under siege by other forces because of the Yin-Yang Samsara Mirror. Sect leader Qing You, at the cost of his own life, used a secret technique to forcibly teleport Qing Shu and the inner sect elder down.

After Yu Yao had gained insight into all the complex formations protecting Qing Shu, as well as her current condition, one night, the inner sect elder died miserably on Yu Yao's belly.

She put on the skin of the inner sect elder, imitated his appearance, and came to the ancient house built by the inner sect elder for Qing Shu. After removing a series of protective formations, she placed paper figures for surveillance.

According to the inner sect elder, Qing Shu had spent so long within the Soul Nurturing Coffin due to physical reasons that her aura had become inextricably linked to it. Only near the Soul Nurturing Coffin could she unleash the power of a celestial being. However, the rules of this Heavenly Dao only applied to those who had truly attained the celestial realm; those who had achieved it through external forces were not covered. Therefore, Yu Yao was hesitant to act rashly for the time being.

Fortunately, the Soul-Nourishing Coffin relied on the spiritual energy provided by the entire Northern Territory's spiritual veins to maintain its effectiveness, so it couldn't be moved. This meant Qingshu's range of activity was limited to this ancient house. Once she left the ancient house, her strength would decline like a building without a foundation. Furthermore, she was in poor health, so death was not out of the question.

So, Yu Yao began to wait for the day when the spiritual veins in the north would dry up. Without the nourishment of the soul-nourishing coffin, Qing Shu would surely become weak. By then, he would not only be able to take revenge, but also obtain the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Mirror.

"Bitch, I just coveted the treasure in your hand for a little bit, and you ended up with such a miserable end." Yu Yao gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, the expression on his face became extremely ferocious because of anger.

"Just wait. When the spiritual veins are exhausted, the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Mirror will belong to me, and you will be tortured by me to the point where you would rather die than live." Yu Yao sneered grimly, with a vicious light flashing in his eyes.

After saying that, she turned around and left the ancient house, returned to the wooden house, and began to wait for the moment when the spiritual veins in the north would run dry.

This wait lasted nearly another thousand years, and with only three years left before the spiritual vein would be exhausted, Lin Chuan and the others came in.
