The other one, flicking its tongue, also spoke in human language: "She's so pretty, it's such a waste to kill her directly. Why don't we let the brothers have some fun with her first, and then we'll talk about it later!"
Yan Shui's gaze was like lightning; the two snake demons' filthy words couldn't stir even a ripple in her heart. In her eyes, these two snake demons were already two corpses.
She parted her lips slightly and uttered a short incantation. The six flying swords behind her instantly transformed into six streaks of azure light, swiftly slashing away the snake demon she had just struck!
The snake demon, confident in its thick skin and tough flesh, was only injured because it was caught off guard by a surprise attack. Now that it was prepared, it was sure it could handle the situation.
However, as soon as they clashed, he realized he was so wrong. The flying sword was indestructible. It pierced through his proud scales as smoothly as a steel knife cutting through tofu. In an instant, blood, flesh, and scales flew everywhere. In one exchange, he was already seriously injured!
Seeing the situation was dire, another snake demon rushed to the rescue. Yan Shuiyi drew her sword and charged forward. Facing the approaching giant snake, she neither dodged nor avoided it. She leaped up, light as a swallow, and stepped on the snake demon's head. Then, she did a 360-degree spin in the air, and like a dancer, she flipped over and slashed with her sword. Instantly, a shocking sword light shone, and the snake demon's head was almost directly severed!
At this moment, the two men realized how terrifying the woman in front of them was. Gone was their earlier arrogance. They roared in fear and anger, "We can't fight her! Run! Run!"
They quickly turned around, summoning billowing black smoke to conceal themselves, and then used the escape technique of shedding their scales and shells, splitting up to escape to the left and right.
However, it was too late. Yan Shui chased after one of them with her sword and struck again. In an instant, a huge snake head, as big as half a basketball court, fell from the sky with gushing blood. The snake demon, which had been so majestic just moments before, was killed on the spot!
Unfortunately, by doing so, the other snake demon had already gone far away. Unable to catch up, she could only send out her flying sword to slash a beam of light from afar as a form of pursuit.
The sword light struck the fleeing snake demon precisely. The latter roared, its massive body shrouded in black smoke trembled, and finally fell into the deep mountains, disappearing without a trace.
On the ground, Yun Chuan, Yan Shuiyi, and Wenren Jing watched from afar, witnessing the astonishing reversal at the end of the battle. Wenren Jing couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of the legendary Yan Shuiyi, seeing is believing. She is even more stunning than the legends suggest."
Zhu Yunqing released Yun Chuan, making him stand properly, and then gave him a wink. The latter understood and immediately asked curiously, "Senior Wenren, who exactly is this Yan Shuiyi?"
Wenren Jing raised his head, revealing an arrogant and superior expression: "You don't even know Yan Shuiyi? She is the famous chief disciple of the Qingyun Sect. Oh well, it's normal for a rogue cultivator in the mountains to not know.
He thoroughly satisfied his sense of superiority before saying, "Since we've gotten to know each other, I'll give you a free lesson."
After rambling on, the man finally got to the point: "Yan Shuiyi is the chief disciple of the younger generation of the Qingyun Sect, and also the most talented cultivator among the righteous path of the Central Plains human race."
"Although she is called the eldest disciple, she is actually one of the last and youngest to join the sect. But unfortunately, in the cultivation world, strength is paramount. Even if you are young, as long as your cultivation level is high, others will respectfully call you 'senior'."
"Yan Shuiyi is just like that. After joining the sect, she immediately showed a talent that others could not match. In just three years, she had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and was taken in as a closed-door disciple by Madam Nangong, the current sect master of Qingyun Sect. Her sword control technique is amazing and unparalleled. There is no one else among her peers."
"Just last year, in the battle to suppress the demonic Blood Fiend Sect, she, with her mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, killed a bloodthirsty demonic cultivator at the late Foundation Establishment stage, shocking the Central Plains. From then on, her name became known to everyone."
He shook his head and talked eloquently, his face full of pride and smugness, as if the legendary figure in the story was not Yan Shuiyi, but himself.
Chapter 37 The Whereabouts of the Perfect Zombie
Seeing his smug look, Yun Chu'an found it amusing, but didn't show it. He glanced at Zhu Yunqing out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that the latter gave him a wink, he continued, "Thank you for the explanation, senior. However, what is she doing here, a disciple of such a prestigious family?"
They are rising stars of the righteous path, while my family is full of bandits, demon cultivators, zombies and the like. It's hard not to be targeted.
Upon hearing this, Wenren Jing spread his hands and said, "How would I know? He is the pride of the Qingyun Sect, surrounded by admirers, and his whereabouts are unpredictable. Even for your own safety, you shouldn't inquire about such things."
That's the truth. He's just a member of a local wealthy family. He's someone of some importance here, but compared to a behemoth like the Qingyun Sect, which is famous throughout the Central Plains, he's nothing but a small fry.
As he finished speaking, the commotion in the distance had largely subsided. He picked up his things, turned around, and left, saying, "Let's go, let's all go home!"
With that, he turned and left quickly. Yun Chu'an glanced at Zhu Yunqing, who then said, "Let's go too. We shouldn't stay here any longer. Something big is definitely going to happen. We need to be extra careful from now on."
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Yun Chu'an by the shoulder, using the "Shrinking Earth to an Inch" technique once more, and sped towards the direction of the family. Yun Chu'an said nothing more, but his eyes couldn't help but frequently glance at the place where those Foundation Establishment cultivators had just fought, his heart surging with emotion.
Is this how cultivators fight?
Compared to when I was still a mortal, my current methods are almost the same; I can only rely on close combat with my fists and feet. Hmm...
Should I also learn a supernatural power or magic?
On the way back, he began to secretly calculate the benefits and cost-effectiveness of all of this.
As they embarked on their journey home, on the other side, Yan Shuiyi, the chief disciple of the Qingyun Sect, after failing to kill another snake demon, had no choice but to sheathe her sword and land, returning to her junior brothers and sisters, asking with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?"
The two male disciples repeatedly assured her that they were unharmed, while the junior sister, beaming with joy, threw herself into her arms: "Senior sister, you were so cool just now!"
Yan Shui smiled and gently stroked her hair, then sighed, "It's a pity that a snake demon still managed to escape, and it just so happens to be the same snake demon that kidnapped the dragon prince."
"If I had chosen the right target when I was chasing them, I don't know how much trouble I could have avoided now."
She felt a little guilty, and her junior sister quickly comforted her, "It's alright, senior sister. No matter what, this shouldn't be blamed on you. It should be blamed on those two snake demons for being too cunning."
Seeing that her senior sister was in a bad mood, she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, senior sister, how did your talks with the Buddhist people go? Have you heard anything about the Corpse-Driving Sect?"
Yan Shui's attention was indeed diverted. He nodded and said, "Yes, after investigation and research, they now have a new hypothesis about the Corpse Driving Sect: the perfect immortal resurrected corpse may have been successfully refined by the Corpse Driving Sect back then, and was secretly taken out by someone on the eve of the sect's destruction!"
"And this person, and this resurrected corpse, are currently in this mountain!"
Upon hearing this, the older male disciple of Qingyun Sect looked surprised: "Immortal Resurrected Corpse? Wasn't it said that this method of refining corpses has a fatal flaw and is impossible to succeed? I remember that the relevant information is currently kept in the Buddhist sect..."
Yan Shui nodded solemnly: "Yes, the truly core confidential information has been destroyed by the higher-ups of the Corpse Driving Sect. It was only after the Buddhists devoted themselves to studying it that they discovered the self-contradictory loopholes. By peeling back the layers, they finally came up with this bold conjecture."
"They believe that the perfect immortal resurrected corpse had a very special identity in its previous life and knew complete information. Once it successfully returned to life, it could immediately replicate its successful experience, rebuild the corpse-driving sect, and cause endless harm."
The two male disciples exchanged bewildered glances, while the junior sister blinked her big eyes with curiosity: "Senior sister, senior brother, what is this 'immortal resurrected corpse' you're talking about?"
The young male disciple had obviously heard about this as well, and patiently explained to her, "This is a new method developed by the Corpse Driving Sect to create zombies. In short, it involves the cultivators of the Corpse Driving Sect killing themselves first, but keeping their physical bodies intact, refining them into zombies, sealing their souls within their bodies, and then using another living person as a sacrifice to revive themselves."
"This process is very complicated and lengthy. I don't understand the principles behind it either. In short, theoretically speaking, after doing this, the people of this corpse-driving sect can simultaneously retain the conscious mind of the living and the solid and immortal body of the zombie, and their lifespan is endless, which is roughly equivalent to immortality."
The young female disciple blinked: "Then, what's the price?"
"The price? That's the living sacrifice, of course." The older male disciple sighed. "That sacrifice won't die, but will be nourished by the flesh and blood of the immortal resurrected corpse, living a life worse than death—just imagine, your flesh and bones having to endure the pain of being gnawed by thousands of insects every day, how would that feel?"
The junior sister fantasized for a moment, then couldn't help but shiver.
"Moreover, the more powerful the immortal resurrected corpse, the more offerings it requires. And such immortal resurrected corpses are so powerful that no one of their level can do anything to them," the older male disciple said. "Think about it, how tempting this method would be for those powerful cultivators whose lifespans are nearing their end? Therefore, this evil force must not be allowed to grow and must be nipped in the bud."
Junior Sister's face was serious. Yan Shui sighed, "This time when we go out to train, the burden we have to carry is not just about eliminating the snake demon. Oh, there might be a new one."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the distant lake, and saw the water slowly rippling. Then, an old man with a dragon's face and a human body, dragon horns on his head, wearing a brocade robe, and exuding an imposing aura, slowly walked out, surrounded by a group of beautiful maids.
Yan Shui recognized him immediately. He was the father of the dragon prince who had just been captured, the owner of this lakeside market, the leader of the local aquatic tribes, the head of the Wei River Dragon Clan, and the Wei River Dragon King!
Upon seeing this aged yet renowned Golden Core cultivator personally appear, the remaining cultivators who had not yet left were immediately shaken. In an instant, everyone realized that this place was about to undergo a dramatic change.
The Dragon King, enraged that his most prized and talented son had been openly abducted on his own territory, saw it as a challenge to his authority.
As a prominent local clan, his Dragon Palace was overflowing with magical treasures and valuables. Therefore, at this moment, the Wei River Dragon King personally issued a bounty, calling on all righteous cultivators in the world to enter the mountain together. If they saw the snake demon, they should kill it without mercy. If they could rescue his son, they would receive a generous reward from the Dragon Palace.
Driven to near madness by the high bounty, the nearby cultivators rushed into the mountains overnight to purchase essential supplies and search for the snake demon.
Although everyone knew that the snake demon was a powerful cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, everyone present saw that the snake demon was severely injured by Yan Shuiyi's sword. Now, it was highly likely that the snake demon's strength was reduced to less than one-tenth. If everyone rushed up and joined forces to attack, even a cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage would not be unable to kill it and take the huge bounty.
Suddenly, the once quiet and desolate deep mountains became bustling with activity.
This is not good news for Yun Chuan. He is still weak and in the developmental stage where he needs to focus on cultivation. He has no ability to participate in such matters.
However, the world doesn't stop, slowly waiting for someone to grow up.
After returning home safely, Yun Chu'an resumed his daily routine. While continuing to print explosive talismans, he also began to learn some common supernatural powers under the guidance of his fourth sister.
Every day during the day, if the sun is blazing hot, he will exhaust his spiritual energy to print explosive talismans; when the sunlight weakens slightly, his recovery speed decreases, so he will stop printing and then go to cultivate supernatural powers.
He is currently learning two supernatural powers at the same time. One is called "Universal Hands," which, as the name suggests, makes his hands extremely dexterous, allowing him to instantly and accurately extract a dozen or so talismans from a thick stack and then use them.
This is a very basic and universally applicable auxiliary technique. If you master it, you can avoid being flustered in battle and make full use of all your magical treasures, pills, talismans, etc., so you don't end up injured. But when you look back, all the consumables in your storage bag are lying there peacefully, untouched, as if you came here specifically to protect them.
That's ridiculous.
Chapter 38 began to hum softly.
Besides the "all-around skillful hands," another method is the "shrinking the earth to an inch" technique, which can be used to escape when necessary.
This was a spell recommended to him by Zhu Yunqing. Although she used it for traveling, that was because she had abundant magical power and could cast it continuously. For Yun Chuan, it was enough to be able to travel ten zhang in one step and escape from the enemy when necessary.
Both methods were very useful, but after weighing them, Yun Chu'an focused his practice on "shrinking the earth into an inch".
Having witnessed the battle between the Dragon Prince, the two snake demons, and Yan Shuiyi, the eldest disciple of the Qingyun Sect, he wisely concluded that he could not defeat most cultivators, and he did not have much combat experience. Therefore, fleeing in time was the best option.
So during these days, whenever he was at night, he practiced "shrinking the earth into an inch," running from the top of the mountain to the bottom and then jumping back up to the top every day without interruption.
His figure could be seen everywhere, in dense forests and rocky ravines, on cliffs and precipices. Even if he didn't perform well for a while and fell, with his current skills, he could ensure that he would be unharmed.
"call……"
As the sun gradually set, Yun Chu'an finally returned to his small courtyard. After a whole day of cultivation, he was unusually drenched in sweat.
He didn't rush to find his wife. He first went to the side courtyard to wash up and change his clothes before going to her coffin and gently tapping his fingers: "Qi Qiao, get up."
The coffin lid twitched for a moment, then opened, and a zombie dressed in a light blue floral dress jumped out with her eyes closed. She landed beside him with her eyes closed, rubbing against him as if to express her joy.
Yun Chuan smiled and ran his ten fingers up her graceful body. In the blink of an eye, he unbuttoned all the buttons on the front of her clothes, revealing her bright red bodice and her slender waist with its fair and delicate skin.
His smile gradually turned wicked as his fingers climbed up her waist. The moment he began to caress her, the girl's body went limp, and she nestled against his chest, letting him do as he pleased.
Hmm, it's time to practice my "all-around skillful hands".
Seeing this, his smile grew even more sinister. The "Omnipotent Hands" spell, which makes one's fingers more dexterous, isn't limited to using talismans, elixirs, and magical artifacts; it can certainly be applied to everyday life as well.
For example, allowing one's wife to experience wonderful pleasure can enhance the effects of dual cultivation and assist in spiritual practice.
Isn't this also a clever use?
He smiled, lowered his head and kissed Qi Qiao's red lips, and together they climbed into the coffin to begin their dual cultivation.
These days, only on occasions like this would he reluctantly cultivate and improve his cultivation. This was to suppress his leveling speed, fearing that he would progress too quickly and arouse suspicion.
Moreover, he also needs time to accumulate strength in order to deal with the possible plot against Granny Huaishan.
Time passed day by day, and the outside world was in turmoil, but fortunately, the flames had not yet reached him.
However, another flame, seemingly tailor-made for him, was rapidly approaching him.
A few days later, on the riverbank.
Hua Caiyan, with her long black pigtails, wearing a red silk dress, wooden clogs, and nail polish on her toes, stood on the riverbank, smiling as she looked at the large willow tree in front of her.
At this moment, Liu Mengshen was surrounded by a misty aura. Boundless spiritual power formed a thin mist around her, enveloping her body as if compressing it inward.
After countless failures, she now knew it by heart. The thin mist gradually thickened, then began to swirl, even stirring up a gust of wind around her.
Finally, the mist of spiritual energy completely contracted inward, and the once large and graceful willow tree disappeared. In its place, emerging from the thick fog was a completely naked girl.
She had long, straight black hair that reached her hips, and a pair of alluring eyes that shone with a clear, bright light. Her small nose was delicate and straight, and her tender face had a childlike innocence that made her both endearing and arousing in one's sinful desires.
She wasn't very tall, and her smooth shoulders could be described as petite, but her figure wasn't completely undeveloped. Her breasts were already beginning to take shape, like bamboo shoots just sprouting in spring, exuding freshness and tenderness.
Looking further down, her slender waist was also remarkably fair and tender, and her two round and long legs stood straight, while her fair little feet curled up uneasily, as if they were not yet used to this human body.
Her appearance was exactly the same as the one Yun Chuan had seen in his dream that day, so it could be known that this person was none other than his sixth sister, Liu Mengshen.
That's it.
Hua Caiyan couldn't help but smile. She had been prepared for this day. With a snap of her fingers, the orange-red psychedelic colors around her transformed into a huge red koi fish, which carried a light blue, close-fitting cotton nightgown to her.
"Congratulations, Sixth Sister, on successfully transforming into human form." She smiled. "These clothes are my congratulatory gift. Humans all dress like this. I hope you won't find it troublesome and will definitely wear them."
As she spoke, the koi fish that had materialized carried the pajamas in its mouth and helped Liu Meng put them on. The latter truly didn't understand human clothing and had no idea that the clothes Hua Caiyan had given her didn't include any underwear.
She thanked Hua Caiyan while putting on her pajamas, and she really did look like a well-behaved and lovely girl next door.
However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that she was completely naked under her pajamas, with her nipples even faintly visible. Combined with her pure and innocent face, a discerning person would immediately feel their blood boil upon making such a discovery.
"Alright, now everything is done."
Hua Caiyan was inwardly laughing wildly, but she had to keep a straight face so that the other party wouldn't see that it was all her scheme: "Sister has something to do, go play by yourself. Remember, if there's anything you don't understand, be sure to ask sister in time."
After saying this, as if afraid that Liu Mengshen would actually come to ask her some precautions, the fox spirit hurriedly turned around, her body transformed back into a fox in the iridescent flames, and ran away at top speed.
Her body moved through the grass, her heart overflowing with joy.
Haha, all my hard work over the years has finally paid off!
She could already imagine what was about to happen. Liu Mengshen, who had just transformed into human form, would definitely be eager to go and tell Yun Chuan the good news.
And it's easy to imagine what would happen if someone who has always had a good impression of him, and who is now going to find him without a bra, would do so.
That would definitely be a huge undertaking!
Hua Caiyan was absolutely certain that the man would lose control and the two of them would definitely have sex. This was her small revenge on Liu Mengshen, and after that, she would personally take Qi Qiao to catch him in the act, catching this cheating man red-handed!
When the time comes, without her provocation, the enraged Qi Qiao will naturally step forward and teach this man a profound lesson!
Outside, a man who does such a thing would be drowned in a pig cage. Although there is no such rule in the family for the time being, expelling him from the mountain gate and never letting him hang around in front of me again, polluting my eyes, is absolutely the best course of action!
Just thinking about how the man was trembling as she chased him down the mountain made Hua Caiyan so happy that she couldn't help but want to hum softly.
Yes, all of this was inevitable.
Ok……
She suddenly remembered something, and her laughter abruptly stopped.
