He Taicheng had almost caught Qin Lingyun several times, but at the critical moment, that strange spirit beast would speed up a bit and narrowly escape.
As they were about to gradually enter the inner circle of Jiaohu Mountain, He Taichengs eyebrows furrowed.
In Jiaohu Mountain, there is a demonic beast. As an outer sect disciple of the Jiuyang Sword Sect located at the foot of Jiaohu Mountain, he has more knowledge about the situation inside Jiaohu Mountain than others by three points.
The power of the Jiuyang Sword Sect has never extended into Jiaohu Mountain, precisely because within Jiaohu Mountain are four three-stage demonic beasts that can rival a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
When the demon beast reaches the third stage, it can cross the tribulation of transformation and transform into a humanoid form after the tribulation is completed. Its magical power will be incredibly strong. However, to fully transform into a human form, it needs to reach the fourth stage, which is the Yuan Ying period for cultivators.
Compared to cultivators of the same rank, demonic beasts are undoubtedly stronger. The innate superiority of demonic beasts determines their extremely robust bodies. Most demonic beasts do not like to use magical artifacts and instead rely more on their own bodies. In their view, their own bodies are the best magical artifacts.
Four third-tier demon beasts inside Jiaohu Mountain had conflicts with the Jiuyang Sword Sect before, and as a result, the Jiuyang Sword Sect did not dare to enter the mountain. This shows how powerful they are.
He Taicheng naturally didnt want to enter the inner circle of Jiaohu Mountain, and Qin Lingyun was about to fly into the range of the three-stage demon beast. His face turned serious, no longer hiding his methods, his fingers secretly pinched a seal in his sleeve, and the white mist on the White Cloud Boat grew thicker, suddenly increasing its speed by about twice as much. The White Cloud Boat left a long white trail in the air.
Qin Lingyuns eyes widened as a white light flashed before her, and in an instant, she saw a tall figure with wide sleeves that seemed to absorb all the spiritual energy around him, causing the surrounding clouds and mist to dissipate.
Then, the sleeve robe suddenly opened, and a tangible whirlwind like a tornado rushed towards Qin Lingyun.
The power of this whirlwind was extremely strong, Qin Lingyun had just condensed the Frost Shield, and was blown away by the whirlwind, unable to sense or control the Qingling Sword.
The Bloodthirsty Lion Beast let out a loud roar and transformed into a purple light that entered the Spirit Beast Bag on its own. At the same time, the Golden Little Beast also transformed into a golden light and hid inside the Spirit Beast Bag. Qin Lingyuns divine sense probed out and discovered that the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast had fallen asleep due to its severe injuries, while the Golden Little Beast was hiding in one of the compartments of the Spirit Beast Bag, not daring to come out.
All the way, the blood-sucking lion beast took an overdose of speed-enhancing medicine, exceeding the increase in body load, and had already suffered serious injuries. The sleeve??? used by He Taicheng was blocked by the blood-sucking lion beasts protective purple mang, resulting in severe injury, and after fainting, it instinctively returned to the spiritual beast bag to sleep.
The Vampire Lions block also bought some time for Qin Lingyun.
Qin Lingyuns body plummeted downwards, the dark vortex rapidly expanding and appearing beneath her feet, supporting her body. Her fingers formed a seal, and she shot downwards at high speed.
Below was a dense forest, and as long as she fell into it, then used the Frosty Mist to cover her body and spiritual power fluctuations, He Taicheng would have some difficulty catching up to her for a while. Then, all she had to do was move forward a bit, and she could enter the domain of the demonic beast.
But imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel.
Jiuzhi period cultivators are after all Jiuzhi period cultivators, Qin Lingyun no longer has the speed of the bloodthirsty lion beast, wanting to escape is almost impossible.
He Taichings fingers moved swiftly, a pale yellow rope suddenly flew out, like a flexible python, quickly wrapping around Qin Lingyuns body, tightly binding her up.
Qin Lingyun didnt even have time to react, and after being tied up with ropes, the spiritual energy in her body was like it had congealed, making it difficult for her to move. She fell straight down like a spinning top.
Without the support of spiritual power, falling from such a high altitude would likely result in being smashed to pieces and dying, even with a cultivators body that is far stronger than an ordinary persons.
He Taichengs sleeve robe wrapped around her once, and Qin Lingyuns rapid descent came to an abrupt halt, slowly lowering her onto the ground.
After being down-to-earth, Qin Lingyuns hanging heart also calmed down, but when she saw He Taichengs face, her heart sank involuntarily. At this time, she had already fallen into his hands, and no matter how hard Qin Lingyun tried, it was all in vain.
"You are a senior, why make it difficult for me, a junior? If the seniors in my family find out..." Qin Lingyun said calmly, this was her only thought now, He Taicheng didnt know what her background was, she just hoped he would be afraid of the non-existent seniors in her family and show mercy.
He Taichengs mouth curled up with a hint of mockery: "Elder? In that case, its even more impossible to let you go. Originally, I still wanted to use you as a furnace tripod and keep you by my side as an ordinary concubine after using your primordial yin. Now, after harvesting your primordial yin, Ill send you to the Nine Springs Yellow Spring."
Qin Lingyuns heart chilled, she really hadnt expected that He Taicheng would be so vicious. She estimated that he had been kidnapping those female cultivators all along, rarely considering their backgrounds, and as long as they were useful, he would thoroughly eliminate them, without anyone knowing or realizing.
She would have had a chance to survive if she hadnt revealed her background, but now its impossible for her to live. Even if she changed her words and said she was a loose cultivator, it would be too late. He Taicheng would never believe her. How could a loose cultivator possibly have such a powerful spiritual beast and so many methods and treasures?
He Taqing coldly laughed and said: "Originally, a woman with your looks wouldnt have entered my eyes, but since the cultivation method has reached a critical point and cant be delayed, Ill reluctantly use you as the furnace."
He Taiching slapped the storage bag, and six pale yellow flags came out from inside. They were inserted around Qin Lingyun, while his fingers drew in the air, and his magic fluctuated, striking out a series of array patterns. The surroundings were immediately shrouded in mist, and under Qin Lingyun appeared an intricately carved lacquer gold large bed.
A ripping sound, Qin Lingyuns top was torn open, revealing her crystal-like shoulders. A wave of despair washed over Qin Lingyuns heart, and endless hatred surged up from within.
At this moment, a sense of powerlessness surged up, Qin Lingyun bit her lip and desperately tried to calm herself down: "Theres still one last glimmer of hope, if it cant succeed, Id rather die!"
Qin Lingyuns all divine thoughts were withdrawn into the sea of consciousness, and a strong intention was emitted towards the sea of consciousness. The mysterious jade hairpin was hidden in it. Qin Lingyun didnt know whether the jade hairpin would come out or not, but this was the last and only hope.
A strong sense of shame and thoughts surged into her consciousness, when suddenly a green light flashed by, Qin Lingyuns eyes blurred for a moment, and a palm-sized jade hairpin appeared between her and He Taichang.
"Jade Hairpin!" Qin Lingyun grasped the jade hairpin in surprise and delight, a strange energy flowing into her body from within the pin.
