Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

A greedy gaze swept over Qin Yun's figure, and a strange expression suddenly crossed Hei Mietian's face.

"After waiting for so long, the time to harvest has finally come," he said.

"Do you really think you have more people than me?"

"This insignificant Yin-Yang Hezhi Holy Lotus Formation, how could it stop me!"

With a mad cackle, a golden command token suddenly shot into the sky and fell into the black-and-white barrier, which suddenly split into two, revealing a massive breach. Hei Mietian and his followers rushed in at once.

At the same time, a pale hand suddenly pressed against Qin Yun's chest.

Fortunately, the phoenix-shaped jade pendant that Qin Yun wore exploded suddenly, forming a barrier of light that blocked the attack; otherwise, Qin Yun would have sustained damage to her Cultivation Body from this sneak attack. Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

"Hong Luo, have you gone mad, colluding with outsiders, to work with Hei Mietian is as good as seeking skin from a tiger!" Qin Yun couldn't help but roar in anger.

After Hei Mietian and the others entered, the formation suddenly closed up, with the black-and-white colors as before. Only the pattern of the golden lotus on the barrier's surface reversed and emerged on the inner wall of the barrier.

"Sister, I'm not crazy," she said.

"I have waited too long, far too long, for this day."

"Hei Mietian and I have already formed a life-binding pact, you should know of this pact, sister."

"If he breaks his promise, I will shatter the spirit pact. Indeed, my Dao foundation will shatter, and I will fall from the status of True Monarch, but Hei Mietian will also end up like me. You need not worry about this, sister," she stated.

The life-binding pact is an ancient symbol contract that has been circulating in the cultivation world for a long time, functioning to bind the life essences of two people together, thriving together and suffering together.

This pact has almost disappeared nowadays, not because the refinement method has been lost, but because a mythical creature required for it, called Shuangsheng Mandarinduck, is nearly extinct, making the material hard to find.

In the midst of everyone's shocked gazes, Sect Master Hong Luo, laughing maniacally and unrestrainedly like a furiously blooming Flame Red Lotus, crossed the air elegantly, her bare feet ringing with the crisp sound of small bells, as she gracefully approached Hei Mietian's side.

At the same time, two elders from the Hehuan Sect also joined Hei Mietian's side.

"Junior sister, we entered the sect together, learned from our master together, we've had hundreds of years of friendship, and are as close as sisters. I know you have secrets that I chose not to probe into. Tell me one reason why you would betray the sect," Sect Master Qinyun said with a voice full of fluctuations, her speech still carrying an air of disbelief.

"Sisters? Is it that all the benefits in the world should belong to you, Qinyun? Why should you be of the 'He' lineage, and I be of the 'Huan' lineage?" she retorted.

"Why should you, Qinyun, always act so high and mighty, like a noble fairy, while our Hehuan branch must play the whore? Why should all the good things be taken by your He branch, is that fair?"

"Why is it that although I met Xuan Ge first, you had to meddle and steal him away?" By the time she reached the last sentence, Sect Master Hong Luo's tone had risen by an octave, her face contorting into a gruesome and twisted expression.

Fuck, fuck.

Yi Chen cursed inwardly, feeling like a monkey that had stumbled into a melon field. If he remembered correctly, Zhen Ruan once told him that her deceased father was named Zhen Xuan.

Could this get any more melodramatic? Couldn't be surname Duan, could it?

"Sect Master Hong Luo, since this is an internal matter of the Hehuan Sect, why not allow us to leave?" To everyone's surprise, True Monarch Fu Mo, who had previously shown deep affection for Sect Master Qinyun, suddenly spoke up, with Wan Yangzi, disguised as a rich gentleman, echoing the sentiment.

"Ha-ha, sister, it seems your suitors aren't all that great. I wonder how Xuan Ge was blind enough to fancy you before."

What a sore loser, Yi Chen thought to himself once more.

"But dear Dao friends, you might as well stay put. Didn't you all like Qinyun? How wonderful would it be to die with the one you love? You might even get to see your darling Qinyun's dual cultivation," she taunted.

"Oh right, I might as well tell you all, the Yin-Yang Hezhi Holy Lotus Formation has been tampered with by me a long time ago; it's easy to enter but hard to leave now."

"Why don't all of you try circulating your mana now? Do you feel the blood rushing to your heads, mana unstable? The effects of the Héxiāng Powder should have kicked in by now. It's a wonderful substance that enhances cultivation; it just means you temporarily can't utilize your mana to its full potential."

"Also, sister, if you commit suicide, I will slaughter every single one in the 'He' lineage. I, Hong Luo, always keep my word," threatened Sect Master Hong Luo.

Her voice sounded as if it came straight from hell.

"Hong Luo, why waste words with these dead men? So many experts here, if we kill them and extract their souls for pill concoction, it'll certainly boost your cultivation, and you can take half a step into Dao. I will also move a significant step towards the Half-Moon Realm," Hei Mietian said, his hand resting on Sect Master Hong Luo's fragrant shoulder, laughing wildly.

"Destroying Soul Corpse Flame Lance!"

With an angry shout, six yin fire lances composed of corpse flames suddenly appeared in the sky, shooting towards Yi Chen and the other five remaining True Monarchs at high speed.

In a moment, everyone's expression changed, and they retreated swiftly.

"Damn it, my mana becomes uncontrollable once I exceed half of its circulation," Di Longzi and others suddenly cried out in alarm and anger. With just a casual attack from Hei Mietian, they were close to being unable to receive it.

Despair appeared on the faces of the Hehuan Sect members for a moment.

"Hong Luo, it seems your Héxiāng Powder is quite effective," Hei Mietian laughed once again.

"Of course, they've been unwittingly consuming spirits laced with Héshénzhi that I've been adding secretly these past two days. This substance enhances cultivation but lingers in the body for three days before dissipating. It's beneficial and harmless to the Cultivation Body, and combined today with the Qīng Ling Fragrance that I deliberately released, the two together indeed produce an excellent effect."
