In my cultivation journey, I completely crushed a group of chosen ones.

An Zhiwei and Feng Ruxue gripped their magical artifacts tightly. They hadn't expected Ruan Huanyue to arrive so quickly. Fortunately, they hadn't been delayed this time.

With a flick of her wrist, Ruan Huanyue conjured a purple longsword in her hand.

"It seems we'll need to have a contest before you two will properly answer my questions."

Ruan Huanyue wielded her sword to create an independent wind domain.

An Zhiwei and Feng Ruxue instantly appeared in the domain, where howling winds formed countless sharp, blade-like whirlwinds.

These whirlwinds spun at high speed, attacking the two from all directions.

Feng Ruxue shouted, "Attack together! I'll deal with her, you break her domain!"

An Zhiwei summoned the Spirit Void Soul-Suppressing Tower, which rapidly expanded, releasing powerful soul energy fluctuations.

Ruan Huanyue felt an immense pressure on her soul, as if a boulder weighing millions of pounds was pressing on her heart.

Feng Ruxue swiftly summoned the Illusion Mirror, instantly creating a special world filled with illusions.

In this world, countless phantoms appear that are exactly like Feng Ruxue.

Ruan Huanyue couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake for a while, and with these phantoms constantly interfering, she couldn't determine her true location.

An Zhiwei's giant tower rose from the ground, quickly ascended to a high altitude, and then crashed down on Ruan Huanyue with the force of Mount Tai.

"Boom"

A dull, loud bang.

Ruan Huanyue's wind domain shattered, and the two rushed out instantly.

The illusory mirror, as white as snow, rapidly unleashed countless blades.

The blade flew silently toward Run'an Huanyue like a ghost.

With a wave of her longsword, Ruan Huanyue quickly conjured up solid wind walls.

These wind walls trap the blade within, forming a closed space.

An Zhiwei's giant tower rotates at high speed, creating countless illusory tower shadows in the process.

The tower shadows were numerous, crashing down on Ruan Huanyue from all directions at extremely high speeds.

Ruan Huanyue retreated repeatedly, and the two disappeared in just a few breaths.

Ruan Huanyue's eyes sharpened, and she let out a soft laugh: "Interesting, the cultivators outside are quite good too."

Di Qingci had already left the sea, and not long after, he saw Pei Jinshu heading towards the sea.

Di Qingci was a little curious. Could there be some treasure in the sea?

Pei Jinshu was speechless. She was like a persistent ghost, always there for him: "Did you go to the bottom of the sea?"

Di Qingci raised an eyebrow slightly: "Our relationship doesn't seem to be that good yet, so why should I answer you?"

Seeing that the other person was unwilling to talk, Pei Jinshu felt an urgent voice in her heart and quickly headed towards the seaside.

Seeing this, Di Qingci wondered if the female lead had sensed something again. He stopped walking and immediately followed.

Pei Jinshu heard the voice behind her: "What are you doing following me here again?"

Di Qingci said in a serious tone, "I think there are treasures in the sea. Can't we go down and take a look?"

Not long after they dived into the sea, they heard the sounds of fighting, and they increased their speed.

As the two approached, they saw Feng Ruxue and An Zhiwei fighting against someone.

An Zhiwei caught sight of the two out of the corner of her eye and hurriedly said, "This is a formation; going inside leads to an underwater palace."

Ruan Huanyue's men shouted, "Those two came out from inside; they must have gotten the item."

When Pei Jinshu arrived here, she felt a pang of disappointment. She knew that the item had been taken by someone else, and it seemed that it must have been these two.

An Zhiwei appeared in a flash next to Di Qingci: "Boss, I know there are still treasures inside, but there is someone inside."

It is the Purple Void Immortal Mountain, and the young master of the Ruan family, Ruan Huanyue, has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

"The Wind Spirit Saint Body is incredibly powerful; neither Feng Ruxue nor I are a match for her."

If she hadn't just obtained the immortal artifact, she and Feng Ruxue wouldn't have been able to withstand a single blow from someone else.

A dozen or so people were eyeing the formation covetously. Their young master was inside, and they couldn't let these people in and ruin his plans.

"If you want to get through, you'll have to get past us first."

Di Qingci glanced at Pei Jinshu. If the female lead wanted to go in, she could go and take a look. If the female lead didn't go, it meant there wasn't anything good there.

Pei Jinshu was unwilling to leave once she arrived.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword was drawn: "Since you want to block my way, I'll have no choice but to move the obstacle."

In an instant, the Ice Soul shone with boundless light, and sword energy surged forth, instantly enveloping everyone in its power.

Emperor Qingci's sword intent, flowing from the sword, was extremely gentle and utterly harmless.

A dozen or so men saw the sword's edge and shouted, "Stop it!"

But these people panicked even more when they saw Di Qingci: "Oh no, it's the sword intent of water!!!"

A dozen or so people were doing their best to hold them off.

In an instant, the light illuminated the seabed, and more than a dozen people were engulfed in the light in a panic.

Pei Jinshu and Di Qingci quickly entered the formation, with Feng Ruxue and An Zhiwei following closely behind.

In the blink of an eye, the group entered the underground palace and happened to run into Ruan Huanyue coming out. The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Ruan Huanyue's smile didn't reach her eyes: "You actually brought help?"

Anzhi was hiding behind Di Qingci.

Feng Ruxue's cold face remained expressionless: "You were destined to obtain this treasure. What, you want to steal it and then try to justify yourself?"

Ruan Huanyue laughed wildly: "There's nothing I, Ruan Huanyue, can't get if I want it."

However, I've heard that female cultivators on the mainland are all prone to crying and wailing. I'd like to see your fighting prowess for myself.

Pei Jinshu felt a surge of displeasure upon seeing this person, and her words became sharp.

"Pretending to be something you're not. Even I, a mere young master of a sacred mountain, don't act so arrogantly."

Since Ruan Huanyue became the young master of Zixu Immortal Mountain, no one has dared to disrespect her; those who have are simply gone.

"I'd like to see if you're tough on the outside, or tough on the inside."

Ruan Huanyue pointed her sword at the sky, drawing upon the power of the wind element. A powerful wind blade descended from the sky, slashing towards Pei Jinshu.

Pei Jinshu scoffed and swung his sword, unleashing an icy blue sword aura that instantly froze the wind blades in its wake.

Di Qingci and the two others stood at a distance, not participating in their battle.

Ruan Huanyue saw the frozen wind blades, then brandished her longsword, unleashing the Wind Imprisonment Domain—"Wind Prison Soul Locking Prison!"

Countless cages formed by the power of wind rose up, tightly locking Pei Jinshu inside.

Pei Jinshu's sword flashed with a chilling light, and the Ice Soul Divine Sword formed a huge Ice Soul Divine Seal in the air before rapidly descending.

"Ice God's Prison Seal!"

Upon seeing this, Ruan Huanyue's brow twitched.

"Wind Blade Annihilation Prison!"

The wind was raging fiercely; within the domain, gales howled incessantly, and countless wind blades ravaged the area like a spinning meat grinder.

Pei Jinshu gave a soft shout and quickly dodged within the domain, as countless wind blades swept in from all sides.

Pei Jinshu was instantly cut in several places.

Pei Jinshu unleashed the power of the Ice Soul Divine Body to its fullest extent, as if a god had descended.

A massive, icy blue vortex appeared in the sky, from which extremely cold ice pillars continuously descended, crashing into the area with destructive power.

The ground was quickly frozen solid, instantly turning into an ice sculpture, and the life force within Ruan Huanyue's body was also frozen by the extreme cold.

Ruan Huanyue knew things were going badly, so she quickly activated her Wind Spirit Holy Body, and a huge storm vortex appeared in the sky, constantly releasing powerful wind and lightning.

The icy blue vortex and the storm vortex collided instantly, producing a deafening roar.
