"Junior Sister Cheng?!"

Cheng Qingyu suddenly revealed her Nascent Soul Realm strength, shocking not only the Golden Snake Guards but also Su Xin, who was utterly astonished.

She knew this junior sister was the eldest daughter of the Cheng Family, the largest Noble Family in Qinghe City. With mid-level talent, her cultivation was at the Golden Core’s first to second layer.

She was quite inferior compared to He Zhiqiu and Ruo Mei, those rising stars.

Besides managing Qiluo Garden at Xiyue Peak, she didn’t have any significant achievements and had always acted low-key.

She was the type of person who was almost invisible among the steward disciples.

Su Xin was actually a bit surprised that Cheng Qingyu could travel with these elite disciples.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Junior Sister Cheng revealed a strength far beyond her usual cultivation.

This is the Nascent Soul Realm!

In the sect, only a few uncles and the top disciple could reach this realm.

Why did Junior Sister Cheng’s cultivation suddenly advance to this level?

No!

She had always hidden her cultivation!

And she detoxified faster than I did, indicating her cultivation is not just at the initial Nascent Soul stage!

"You, you are actually Nascent Soul Realm?!"

At this point, Si Mingcheng was dumbfounded. He just randomly grabbed an ordinary disciple, right?

He encountered a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator?

Si Mingcheng quickly said: "This Taoist friend, it’s all a misunderstanding. We harbor no malice, we just wanted to ask a few questions, that’s all, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Qingyu waved her hand, and a mighty force exploded, knocking all the Golden Snake Guards to the ground, spitting blood from their mouths!

Si Mingcheng struggled to resist, retreating several steps, his internal energy surging, his face pale.

"You forced me to expose my cultivation, you must all die."

Cheng Qingyu, with an expressionless face and cold voice, as if transformed into another person, slowly walked toward the fallen Golden Snake Guards.

Everyone’s faces turned pale, retreating repeatedly.

Wu Yiren was also scared stiff, not knowing why things suddenly turned this way.

Mo Xiaolan was also surprised; this Cheng Qingyu almost harmed Yun Wu in Qiluo Garden and had doubts about her in the valley.

Now revealing Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, this person is not simple.

But Mo Xiaolan had no time to ponder, instinctively standing in front of Wu Yiren.

Wu Yiren was stunned, staring at Mo Xiaolan’s not-so-broad back, her eyes moistening.

Lan Yin brother is protecting me, he loves me!

Cheng Qingyu coldly looked at Mo Xiaolan: "What, you want to protect him?"

Mo Xiaolan pointed at Si Mingcheng: "Senior Sister Cheng, this person is actually their leader. Why not capture him for questioning to uncover the truth?"

Si Mingcheng’s face changed, he waved his hands: "Fairy, I really have no malice, it’s all a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!"

Cheng Qingyu sneered: "Fine, this person needs interrogation, and Lan Yin, Ruo Mei, He Zhiqiu too, but first, let’s have you lie down."

Speaking, she raised her hand towards Si Mingcheng, releasing a green light that instantly enveloped him.

Si Mingcheng gritted his teeth, pulled out a golden Talisman Paper from his bosom, stuck it on himself, his body transformed into a golden light, rapidly fleeing!

"A Fifth Grade Thousand-Mile Talisman? He’s good at escaping, leaving his subordinates behind."

Cheng Qingyu chuckled disdainfully, turning towards the group of Golden Snake Guards, shooting green light into their bodies.

Instantly, these Golden Snake Guards screamed miserably.

"Fairy, spare us, we’ll talk, we’ll talk!"

They pleaded for mercy, and Cheng Qingyu stopped, one quickly saying:

"We are Golden Snake Guards from the Western Emperor Palace, ordered to investigate your mission to the South Demon, check Lan Yin’s conduct, and... search for the Beauty Ranking’s second-place Qiu Zhihe’s whereabouts."

Earlier, the pain was too intense, these Golden Snake Guards had their courage shattered, revealing everything immediately.

"Very good."

Cheng Qingyu nodded satisfied, raising her palm slightly, causing the Golden Snake Guards to scream again.

"Ah! We already told everything, Fairy, spare us!"

The Golden Snake Guards screamed repeatedly, and Su Xin, unable to bear it, spoke up:

"Junior Sister Cheng, they’ve confessed, stop tormenting them."

Cheng Qingyu smiled: "I follow Senior Sister’s orders."

As her voice fell, the bodies of the Golden Snake Guards swelled up; amidst the extremely tragic screams, over a dozen bodies exploded into a rain of blood, making the scene exceedingly gruesome!

Su Xin was shocked, questioning: "Junior Sister Cheng, didn’t you just agree to stop?"

Cheng Qingyu faintly said: "Senior Sister, I agreed not to torture them anymore, so I simply gave them release, isn’t that right?"

Su Xin looked at the blood-soaked ground, eyes filled with pity, angrily staring at Cheng Qingyu:

"The West Imperial Dynasty is our ally, these Golden Snake Guards didn’t really harm us, a little punishment would suffice, why the cruel act?"

Cheng Qingyu leisurely walked to Su Xin’s front, crouched down, staring into her face, suddenly laughing:

"Senior Sister is gentle, dignified, kind, and pure, no wonder your parents protect you so well, unlike me, just a killing tool, hehe."

Su Xin was puzzled: "My parents? What are you talking about?"

She was picked up by the master Tantai Mingyue by the roadside, taken to Zhenyang Mountain, and grew up in the Zhenyang Sect, she hadn’t known about her parents.

Cheng Qingyu suddenly raised her hand, gently stroked Su Xin’s face:

"Senior Sister, you know nothing, yet you think of defending the Righteous Path and protecting the world, so cute, I quite like you."

The residual poison in Su Xin’s body prevented her from breaking free, feeling her junior sister had become so alien.

"Junior Sister Cheng, who exactly are you?"

Cheng Qingyu laughed: "Senior Sister, why not think about who He Zhiqiu, Ruo Mei, and Lan Yin are?"

Su Xin looked at her, eyes growing cold: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Qingyu’s fingers gently caressed Su Xin’s face, an expression of endearment as she said softly:

"Senior Sister, have you thought about why Senior Sister Ye and Su Hongling hadn’t expelled the Jade Dragon Pill’s poison while He Zhiqiu was unaffected and moved freely?"

"Did you notice, when shrouded in black mist, Ruo Mei seemed missing for a long time, after the mist cleared, she suddenly returned, how could her cultivation expel the poison so quickly, where did she go?"

"Celestial Phoenix Mountain captured all the brothers and juniors, why did they single out Lan Yin, what secret does he hold?"

Su Xin’s face grew increasingly grave, Cheng Qingyu drew close to her, red lips lightly speaking at her ear:

"Senior Sister, I’ll tell you a secret then."

She embraced Su Xin and whispered:

"Wei Wan knows the identities of He Zhiqiu and the others, and Senior Sister Wei secretly harbors them."

"Junior Sister Wei? Impossible!"

Su Xin immediately responded, Cheng Qingyu chuckled:

"Senior Sister, I like how simple and adorable you are, if you don’t believe me, watch Wei Wan closely when you return."

"Oh yes, before that, shouldn’t we find Junior Brother Lan first?"

With those words, Cheng Qingyu pointed back, only then did Su Xin notice Junior Brother Lanyin and that black-robed man had disappeared!
