Stealing the female lead's favor turns her from a heartthrob to a universally disliked figure.

The woman in the white dress was struck by the whip, causing her to stagger. The poison powder in her hand slipped and spilled onto herself.

Her face and skin were almost instantly dissolved by the poison powder, her skin falling off like dust, and in the blink of an eye she became a hideous, bloodied person without skin.

"what……"

As the woman in the white dress screamed, Li Qingqing's fourth lash arrived.

This seemingly ordinary lash nearly shattered the internal organs of the woman in the white dress.

"Ah..." The woman in the white dress lost her composure, her hand holding the whip went limp, and she was completely powerless to fight back.

She ended up in this state thanks to her own poison.

Otherwise, even four lashes from Li Qingqing wouldn't have rendered her immobile.

"I am from the Holy Palace... You can't kill me, you can't kill me... If you kill me, you will die a horrible death!" the woman in the white dress cried out in terror.

She sensed the murderous intent; she knew that if she were whipped a few more times, she would die.

Li Qingqing seemed not to hear her words and did not stop attacking. The fifth lash was still mercilessly delivered.

We are currently in the Hualing Sacred Sea. This woman in the white dress has a special identity. She needs to use the Seven Star Soul-Destroying Whip to kill the person and then clean up the spatial traces here.

Thinking of this, she picked up the whip again, cracked it twice, and then lashed it twice more in succession. The entire series of Soul-Destroying Whip Technique directly shattered the spatial mirror image of this place and cleared away all traces.

The woman in the white dress only had time to give Li Qingqing a resentful look before she was completely terrified.

But it was at this moment that the man in red broke free from the dark space that had trapped him.

His vision was affected by the Dark Domain, so he didn't see the scene of his sister being tortured, but he did hear her pitiful screams.

Now that he was out of the trap, he was shocked to find that the life connection between him and his sister had disappeared.

He suddenly roared wildly, as if he had gone mad.

"You killed my sister! How dare you kill my sister! I'll tear you to pieces... Devouring Beast, attack..."

After roaring, a black mist suddenly emanated from his chest, and a ferocious black beast suddenly leaped out of the mist.

Just when Li Qingqing thought she was about to have another tough battle, the black beast suddenly lowered its head, sniffed around, and then circled around Li Qingqing without launching an attack.

The man in red was dumbfounded, then roared angrily, "Devouring Beast, bite her to death! Bite her to death!"

Although he shouted loudly, the black devouring beast bent its legs slightly and gave Li Qingqing a deep bow.

Li Qingqing was completely stunned.

How is this going?

Even the whip in her hand began to waver.

Before she could even decide whether to strike first, the black devouring beast had already stood up.

However, instead of attacking Li Qingqing, it suddenly leaped up, pounced on the man in red, and swallowed him whole with a loud gulp.

Yes, it just swallowed the person whole.

While Li Qingqing was bewildered, she also became vigilant, fearing that the black beast would turn around and pounce on her again to eat her.

However, her thoughts were unnecessary. The black beast glanced back at her and then disappeared into the lingering black mist.

Li Qingqing: "..."

Before she could even figure out what was going on, several gasps of surprise came from behind her.

"My god, are the Great Ascension Stage 1 Void Realm cultivators this powerful now...?"

"What Mahayana First Void Realm? You actually believe that? Someone who can single-handedly take on two Nascent Soul Fifth Void Realm cultivators must be some kind of big shot who's pretending to be weak..."

"But she looks so young, and her bone age is so small..."

"So what if their bone age is young? With the Great Cleansing of Ten Thousand Years imminent, many old ghosts who have lived for over a thousand years are secretly cultivating techniques to reverse aging and reincarnation. You think they're young, but they might be your great-grandmother..."

Li Qingqing: "..."

She turned her head and saw that more than a dozen cultivators were standing in the snow not far away.

Some she had seen before, and some she had never seen before.

The people looked at her with curiosity, as well as amazement and admiration.

When Li Qingqing saw them, one of the cultivators waved his hand awkwardly, "Um, boss, please don't misunderstand, we were just bystanders, we're not with those two. We didn't see anything just now."

“Yes, yes, we didn’t see anything. Boss, please don’t mind, we’ll leave right away.” The cultivators around them echoed, fearing that Li Qingqing would kill them to silence them.

What a joke! They just saw it; even the Dark Realm Devouring Beast bowed and paid respects to this big shot. How could he be an ordinary person?

Putting everything else aside, their true strength must be beyond their wildest imagination.

Unaware of their thoughts, Li Qingqing pursed her lips and turned her head away, no longer looking at those people.

Just then, the system notification sounded.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the "Achieve Fame in One Battle" mission! Mission rewards have been issued.]

The next moment, Li Qingqing's aura suddenly surged, and her cultivation level, which seemed to be at the first stage of the Mahayana Void Realm, instantly became the second stage of the Mahayana Void Realm.

The cultivators who witnessed this scene exchanged bewildered glances.

One cultivator murmured, "Sure enough, I knew she couldn't possibly be a cultivator at the first stage of the Mahayana Void Realm. Look, she's already at the second stage!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing pondered for a moment, then directly used the Great Concealment Divine Technique to re-display her cultivation level from the Second Stage of the Great Ascension Realm to the First Stage of the Great Ascension Realm.

She had just caught her breath when she heard someone whispering again beside her.

"See? Hiding their cultivation level is as easy as drinking water for them. The tribulation lightning in the sky didn't even budge, which shows they're a true master..."

The real big shot, Li Qingqing, suddenly felt that being misunderstood like this was actually quite nice.

Perhaps back in Hualing Jiuzhou, she was hiding her cultivation and playing dumb to outsmart others, but now, she's actually pretending to be profound and a big shot.

Anyway, it's good to save some trouble.

Thinking of this, she found where Senior Ren was lying, waved her hand, cleared away the snow, and dug out Senior Ren, who was frozen into an ice block.

"Senior Ren, are you alright?" Although he looked like a block of ice, Li Qingqing thought that freezing him wouldn't kill a powerful figure who had cultivated for a thousand years.

At first, the ice block didn't react. It wasn't until Li Qingqing took out her Phoenix Hidden Sword and prepared to knock the ice block that it exploded on its own.

A moment later, Ren Qiandao sat up from the snow, patted the snow off his body, rubbed his neck, and stood up.

Looking at Li Qingqing, he said with a hint of apology, "Little girl, I'm sorry I didn't help you just now!"

Li Qingqing was taken aback. "Senior Ren, do you know that someone just caused me trouble?"

She thought the big boss was hibernating and asleep!

Ren Qiandao nodded. "I know. That's why I didn't show myself."

The people from the Holy Palace are just annoying; they're a nuisance wherever they go!
