How can this be?

I am a Mystic Sect practitioner of Earth Immortal level, how could I be dragged away by some ghostly old woman.

To become someone’s bride, I’d have no face left to stay in this community.

At that moment, I gathered all the heavenly fire within me, ignoring any hand seals or oral spells.

Directly using the Taoist Heart to coax the flames, letting fierce fire gush from my palm.

Turning around, I twisted that dead old lady’s wrist, pouring the scorching heavenly fire into her body.

With a miserable scream, the old lady instantly turned into a pile of ashes.

This time she should be thoroughly dead, with her Three Souls and Seven Spirits completely burned away.

But I was not much better off, even though my strength had temporarily improved in the Nether Pond.

The water had eroded my body while I was in recovery, eventually injuring my vital energy, so after my period, my skills almost completely waned.

And now using heavenly fire despite my body’s condition, my body felt as if it were completely drained.

"Mother, my mother...what did you do to my mother?" Suddenly, a young man as thin as a stick appeared.

The young man’s body was like a matchstick, with a hint of gloom on his face, and his skin was incredibly sallow.

He rushed at me, his limp leg aimed to kick my chest, "You killed my mother, I must avenge my mother."

Originally, I could have easily dodged, but this guy’s sweeping kick actually carried Corpse Qi.

The Corpse Qi suppressed my already sparse protective spiritual energy, making it impossible to mobilize. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

I had to first take an unexpected kick, then draw an Evil-Breaking Spell with my palm to subdue the sickly man full of Corpse Qi.

As for the heavenly fire, I dared not mobilize it at all; this fire seemed to belong to me, but it was not something my current power could freely control.

I must be in full health and state to handle it, to avoid being harmed by its innate strong origin.

With a crack, a tall figure suddenly appeared.

Yu Longting appeared in front of me, twisting the sickly man’s ankle with one hand, removing the entire leg from the man, "Interesting times, even a Yin Corpse dares to lay hands on my wife, aren’t you the Yin Yang Envoy of Fengdu? How can you be so bold?"

"S-Snake...Snake Lord...you...you are Snake Lord." The man’s pallid face turned even whiter, dragging his disabled leg, he knelt on the ground trembling, "This...this lowly Pure Yang Girl was just a concubine my mom chose for me...how could she be yours...ah...pain...I was wrong..."

Yu Longting acted ruthlessly, twisting off this guy’s head as well.

Yet the man was neither dead nor alive, even with his head twisted off, he seemed utterly unfazed.

Yu Longting casually tossed the severed head on the ground, "Pure Yang Girl? Who told you my wife is a Pure Yang Girl? Her birth date is extremely hidden; neither you nor your mother could see through it based on your cultivation."

"It was...Great Turtle Immortal, he said I’d have descendants if I wedded her." The man hugged his fallen head in his arms, trembling all over, "I’m so miserable, my mom was just burned to death by her with Yang Fire, I really didn’t know she was your...Madam."

"Great Turtle Immortal? Could it be Piao Changji?" I thought of something, pulling out two Soft-shelled Turtle Spirits’ inner cores from my shoulder bag, "Do you recognize these two Soft-shelled Turtle Spirits’ inner cores?"

"No, no, no, I don’t recognize them, but isn’t Great Immortal Piao an Earth Attribute? These two aren’t." The dead man’s eyes, full of venomous resentment towards me and Yu Longting, rolled in hollow derision.

Yu Longting waved his hand, a talisman paper stuck onto the man’s neck at the point of severance, smiling gently, "I am a person who likes to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, since you had the wrongful thought of marrying my wife, and your mother died as a result, to prevent your revenge, I can only...send you...to the Western Heaven."
