Are You Satisfied?
“Help! Help! Someone help!“
“Wait, the game never said the heroine could die!“
Outside the game, Chen Huaian was in complete shock as he watched Li Qingran collapse, drenched in blood.
For a moment, he doubted whether he had recharged enough!
He frantically tapped the screen, making the already cracked phone screen fracture even more.
Sweat dripped down his forehead. For once, he wished the game would pop up a recharge option.
The Sect’s Shock
In the sect square, the disciples of Qingyun Sect stood frozen.
Even those who once mocked Li Qingran now stared at her with pale faces.
No one expected her to invoke a Dao oath so recklessly.
The punishment of Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart—
It wasn’t just a physical ordeal.
The pain could shatter one’s spirit, leaving an eternal scar on the soul.
Many cultivators never recover, their path of cultivation forever blocked.
But just as Li Qingran was about to lose consciousness…
A Timely Recharge
Ding!
A prompt box finally appeared on Chen Huaian’s screen.
【Limited-time offer! Buy the Immortal-Grade Jade Creation Pill for 18.8¥ to heal Li Qingran?】
“BUY!“
Chen Huaian didn’t even hesitate.
He clicked the button, eyes closed, muttering a silent prayer.
In Cangyun Realm, an invisible force suddenly held up Li Qingran’s faltering body.
A brocade box appeared out of thin air, floating behind her.
The moment it opened, an intoxicating medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Nearby disciples felt their spiritual energy surge, and even their unhealed wounds itched as if they were regenerating.
The Jade Creation Pill dissolved into a soft green light, entering Li Qingran’s body.
Her pale complexion instantly recovered.
The Sect Master’s Realization
“That fragrance—it’s a Jade Creation Pill!“
Sect Master Wu Duantian was the first to recognize it.
But then, he froze.
This was no ordinary pill.
He had given his disciple Zhao Lingtian a Jade Creation Pill before. But the pill that saved Li Qingran was completely different.
It was crystal-clear, pure as jade—far more potent than anything he had seen.
“No… this isn’t just a Jade Creation Pill.“
Wu Duantian’s voice trembled.
“It’s an Immortal-Grade Jade Creation Pill!“
Zhao Lingtian, standing nearby, felt his heart shatter.
An Immortal-Grade elixir was wasted just to ease Li Qingran’s pain?!
He had spent years hoping for a cure, yet this monk casually gave it away for something so minor?
He nearly coughed up blood from sheer frustration.
A Desperate Betrayal
Across the square, Outer Sect Elder Wang Chuanhe was drenched in cold sweat.
His heart pounded.
He had been exposed—his involvement revealed.
Wu Duantian wouldn’t let him go unpunished.
And worse…
Would the mysterious monk behind Li Qingran target him next?
He had to escape.
His eyes flickered with desperation.
“Now… everyone is focused on that girl,” he thought.
“This is my chance.”
Without hesitation, he flung his flying sword forward and leapt onto it.
The plan was simple—flee while everyone was distracted.
But he had barely taken two steps when—
Boom!
A dozen golden talismans exploded behind him.
Thunder crashed down from a clear sky.
Before he could even react, he was struck mid-air.
His body plummeted like a burnt log, crashing into the ground.
Black smoke rose from his clothes.
A Hidden Hand
In his hotel room, Chen Huaian smirked.
He casually stuffed the unused talismans back into his inventory.
“Trying to run? Not on my watch.“
He blew on his fingers, feeling slightly numb from the intense tapping.
It wasn’t enough to kill Wang Chuanhe outright—
But after a dozen top-grade Thunderfire Talismans, the man was burnt to a crisp.
Wu Duantian’s expression darkened.
He quickly ordered Wang Chuanhe’s capture.
His heart grew even warier of the hidden monk.
“Throwing out so many high-level talismans… without hesitation.“
“Just how many resources does this man have?!“
Justice is Served
“Master, Sect Master—I am guilty!“
Seeing Wang Chuanhe subdued, Yun Zimo fell to his knees.
“But I only acted out of anger because Li Qingran injured my Junior Sister!”
“I was blinded by emotion… but I accept my punishment!“
Taoist Qingxuan trembled with rage.
“Shameless brat!“
Chixiao Peak’s reputation was in ruins.
If the Qingyun Patriarch heard of this…
His position might be in danger too!
But he still didn’t dare act—
Because that hidden monk was watching.
“Sect Master Wu, what shall be done?“
Wu Duantian sighed, stroking his beard.
“Wang Chuanhe… you have betrayed the sect.“
“You are hereby stripped of your elder status.“
“Your eyes will be gouged out, tongue removed, and molten iron poured into your ears.“
“You shall repent on the Cliff of Repentance for six months.“
“As for Yun Zimo…”
“You will suffer the same fate.“
“…But, as you admitted your guilt, your meals shall include two extra leaves of vegetables per day.“
A Fool’s Despair
Yun Zimo’s face turned white.
“Master, no!“
His knees scraped against the stone as he crawled toward Taoist Qingxuan.
“Master, please! I’ll be crippled!“
Taoist Qingxuan’s eyes were cold.
He kicked Yun Zimo away.
“Disgraceful fool!“
Yun Zimo rolled across the ground, slamming into the sect gates.
By the time he stopped…
He was unconscious.
The Final Verdict
Lu Changtian, overcome with guilt, tried to plead for mercy.
“Master, please… Third Brother has repented!“
Mu Baishuang also stepped forward.
“Yes, Master, he just lost control for a moment…“
But for once, her usual sweet voice failed.
Taoist Qingxuan’s eyes were as sharp as a blade.
“Silence!“
“If you speak again, you will join him on the Cliff of Repentance!“
Mu Baishuang’s fingers clenched.
The situation was slipping out of her control.
A Question for Li Qingran
Wu Duantian turned to Li Qingran, who had finally regained her strength.
His voice was unusually soft.
“Qingran… are you satisfied with this outcome?“
