My Fairy Growth System

Yang Zhen, the True Lord of Brightness, grew pale. He took a deep breath and said, somberly, "I understand. Fairy Qingtan, please rest assured, I will fully cooperate with your work."

Yu Qingtan nodded with a smile, her eyes revealing deep wisdom and insight, as if everything was under her control.

Afterward, Yu Qingtan arranged for Yan Xi and the others to rest in the guest rooms, and then discussed some pertinent details with the True Lord of Brightness.

...

That evening, Pei Songzhi, the City Lord of Suiyang Immortal City, received a message from the True Lord of Brightness. He had urgent matters and requested Pei Songzhi to return to Tri-Sun Sect for consultation. Pei Songzhi, suspecting nothing, quickly made his way to Tri-Sun Hall, the very hall where Yu Qingtan and the True Lord of Brightness had met.

As Pei Songzhi entered the hall, he saw the True Lord of Brightness sitting gravely on the central throne. A sense of unease crept into his heart, wondering what mattered the sect leader had to discuss with him.

"I have seen the sect leader, my uncle," Pei Songzhi greeted respectfully, "May I ask why uncle has summoned me here?"

The True Lord of Brightness looked at him, sighed, and said, "Songzhi, you have been cultivating in the Tri-Sun Sect for over seven hundred years now, haven't you?"

Pei Songzhi nodded and replied, "Yes, for seven hundred and thirty-seven years."

The True Lord of Brightness looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and said, "I remember watching you grow up and reach your current status step by step. Your aptitude was slightly lacking, but with fortunate opportunities, you have now become a Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivator. It has not been easy!"

Pei Songzhi's anxiety grew, sensing something unusual in the True Lord's tone, wondering what was about to happen. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, may I know the reason for this summons? Please speak frankly."

The True Lord of Brightness looked at him, took a deep breath, and said, "Alas, Songzhi, you are aware that the inspection envoy of our superior sect, Fairy Qingtan, has come to our sect. She claims that someone has accused you of being a person from Misty Rain Tower."

Pei Songzhi's face changed instantly, his eyes widened as he looked at the True Lord of Brightness and said, "How is that possible? That's utterly absurd."

The True Lord of Brightness, hesitation flickering in his eyes, eventually said, "I don't believe it either, but Fairy Qingtan insists that she has incontrovertible evidence, hoping that you will cooperate with the investigation."

A mix of anger and panic surged within Pei Songzhi as he asked, "How should I cooperate with the investigation?"

At that moment, Yu Qingtan, dressed in a light green robe, emerged from the side hall and said to Pei Songzhi, "Please do not resist and accept the binding of the Spirit-Sealing Talisman. Come with me to Mount Wendao for questioning. Rest assured, if you are innocent, you will be able to return soon."

Pei Songzhi looked at her, a hint of wariness and suspicion flashing in his eyes. He knew the might of the Spirit-Sealing Talisman; once bound by it, his cultivation would be sealed, leaving him vulnerable to manipulation. He couldn't help feeling hesitant and conflicted.

Once reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, the checkpoints for the circulation of Spiritual Power in the Dantian disappear, hence even Divine Transformation Cultivators would struggle to seal the cultivation of Nascent Soul Masters with ease.

The techniques to seal a Nascent Soul Cultivator's powers, mainly including Spirit-Sealing Talismans and Spirit-Sealing Artifacts, generally only work when the Nascent Soul Master does not resist fiercely.

The True Lord of Brightness looked at him, a trace of reluctance in his eyes, but ultimately, he took out a Fourth Stage Spirit-Sealing Talisman, preparing to seal Pei Songzhi's powers.

Just then, Pei Songzhi suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a green thread shot out, darting straight towards Yu Qingtan.

Yu Qingtan suddenly felt a dangerous aura rushing towards her, her heart skipped a beat, but she did not panic. Before the emerald thread could reach her body, it was blocked by a golden shield.

It turned out to be a green thread-shaped insect with a ferocious mouthpart, emitting the aura of a cultivator at the mid-Fourth Stage.

Yang Zhen closed his eyes in anguish, as both he and Yu Qingtan recognized the insect to be the Nether Silkworm Gu King, a type of Gu insect from the Southern Region, for which the Misty Rain Tower assassin known as Nether had gained fame.

Clearly, Pei Songzhi was the Misty Rain Tower assassin, Nether.

Nether had previously assassinated over ten Nascent Soul cultivators, including a fellow sister of Yang Zhen. Nether's notorious reputation was well known, consistently ranking in the top ten of the wanted lists.

Pei Songzhi was also shocked beyond belief; he had not expected his sneak attack to fail, that Yang Zhen had already triggered the Sect-Defending Great Array Tri-Sun Celestial Array in advance, only keeping it hidden and not activated. He looked at Yang Zhen and Yu Qingtan, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.

Yu Qingtan, however, smiled at him and said, "Lord of the City Pei, or should I call you, Nether, I had guessed that you would be driven to desperate straits, so I had asked Master Wang to make preparations in advance. A Fourth Stage premium-grade Tri-Sun Celestial Array, do you think you can escape from it?"

Yang Zhen opened his eyes, a flash of determination and resolve passing through them. He formed hand signs and mobilized the power of the Sect-Defending Great Array Tri-Sun Celestial Array, enveloping the grand hall within a golden light barrier. At the same time, he took out an ancient mirror, indeed the Sect-Defending Daoist Instrument Qiankun Tri-Sun Mirror.

The mirror shone with dazzling light, reflecting the image of Pei Songzhi. Yang Zhen chanted and mobilized the power of the Qiankun Tri-Sun Mirror, preparing to suppress Pei Songzhi within the mirror.

Pei Songzhi, witnessing Yang Zhen and Yu Qingtan, was overcome with despair and helplessness. He knew he had no way to escape, and facing the Tri-Sun Celestial Array and the Qiankun Tri-Sun Mirror, there was no hope for survival. He took a deep breath, his face revealing a trace of viciousness and determination.

"If I cannot escape, then I won't make it easy for you either!" Pei Songzhi bellowed, and his spiritual power surged wildly within him; his body started to swell, emitting strong fluctuations.

Yang Zhen and Yu Qingtan's expressions changed at once, sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Pei Songzhi. They knew that Pei Songzhi was about to self-destruct, and if he were successful, not only the grand hall but the entire Tri-Sun Sect might suffer a devastating blow.

Fortunately, they were prepared; Yang Zhen immediately mobilized the power of the Qiankun Tri-Sun Mirror, shooting out a massive beam of light that headed straight for Pei Songzhi. Simultaneously, the power of the Tri-Sun Celestial Array reached its peak, the golden light barrier constricting to only three zhang in size, wrapping around Pei Songzhi in dazzling brilliance.

Under the cover of the light beam, Pei Songzhi's violent spiritual power began to stabilize.

"Hahaha, do you think this can stop me?" Pei Songzhi laughed wildly before a thought triggered the Fourth Stage Nether Silkworm Gu King not far from him to self-destruct.
Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

Though small in size, its self-destructive power was no less terrifying.

The light barrier of the Tri-Sun Celestial Array shook violently, and the beam from the Qiankun Tri-Sun Mirror was temporarily disrupted.

"Bang—" Another massive explosion sounded.

Seizing the momentary disruption of the Qiankun Tri-Sun Mirror's suppressive effect, Pei Songzhi resolutely self-destructed.

Several rips were torn in the light barrier of the Tri-Sun Celestial Array, and the horrifying impact spread throughout the grand hall, letting the entire Tri-Sun Sect feel this terrifying force.

Yang Zhen used the Qiankun Tri-Sun Mirror in time to protect himself, Yu Qingtan, and the Tri-Sun Hall, preventing a dire consequence.
