At this time, within the Nameless Valley, the situation took a drastic turn for the worse.
"How could I be so unlucky?"
The girl’s name was Ye Linglong, an orphan, eighteen years old, with ordinary and unremarkable aptitude.
Eighteen years ago, on a certain night, she was picked up by an old grandma and raised for eighteen years.
Although she joined a Daoist academy, her aptitude remained ordinary and unremarkable.
But suddenly, her grandmother fell seriously ill, and after taking many medicines, there was no improvement, and the family’s wealth was exhausted.
In order to earn money for medicine, she chose to venture out of Fengming City and came to the Fengming Mountain Range, hoping to find some wild Spirit Medicine.
This time, her luck was indeed good as she unexpectedly found a Thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine.
If she sold it, she would definitely make enough money to cure her grandmother.
Yet she never expected to accidentally stumble upon a gathering of mysterious individuals.
This brought upon her a deadly calamity.
Moreover, given her current cultivation level, facing these Nascent Soul Cultivators, even thinking about escaping was impossible.
Death, she didn’t care about.
After all, her life had been saved by her grandmother, and now it seemed like she was just returning it.
But what made her unwilling was, if she died, what would happen to her grandmother, and to those orphans her grandmother saved, to her brothers and sisters?
If she and her grandmother were gone, they would likely end up on the streets, starving to death.
"Oh, there’s actually a Qi Cultivation Stage rookie here."
"Leader, it seems the location you picked for the gathering isn’t that great, getting discovered by outsiders."
"This sort of thing always happens, the world is full of unexpected events, no one can control destiny."
"That’s true, luckily it’s just a Qi Cultivation Stage rookie, so it’s no big deal."
"This woman looks pretty good, why not catch her and sell her?"
"Foolish, do you want to expose our Celestial Punishment Association? Kill her, we can’t allow our traces to be leaked, or else you and I will die."
The group of mysterious cultivators was discussing, emanating a chilling killing intent.
Although Ye Linglong was quite attractive, to them, she was nothing.
So-called women were just beauties on the surface but skeletons underneath.
Moreover, they were members of the Celestial Punishment Association, fugitives of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
If exposed, not only would they be in trouble, but countless others would also be implicated.
So they could not permit any possibility of their information being leaked.
Swish!
In an instant, a figure appeared in front of this group of mysterious cultivators, the newcomer was Jiang Fan.
Since he had decided to intervene, he naturally wouldn’t let this woman encounter any danger.
"Who are you?!"
The five mysterious cultivators’ expressions changed drastically, especially the cultivator at the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation, who was particularly incredulous because, within his perception range, this guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Even though the opponent’s aura was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, he wouldn’t underestimate the enemy one bit.
"Kneel."
Jiang Fan looked calmly at this group of mysterious cultivators, unleashing his Bloodline Divine Techniques.
Seeing Me as Heaven!
This was a Bloodline Divine Technique he gained after advancing to the Tier Five, an extremely powerful control divine technique.
Once activated, any living being within his spiritual sense spread would involuntarily kneel, as if they were seeing the Heavenly Dao itself.
Boom~~
Instantly, not just the five mysterious cultivators, even Ye Linglong was the same, they immediately kneeled on the ground, their knees bled from kneeling.
They felt a terrifying soul pressure, as if seeing a human emperor.
Their bodies seemed to be enduring the weight of a huge mountain.
They were immobilized.
Even the Divinity Transformation Cultivator was the same, he sensed his body seemed to have lost control, in just a moment, the enemy seized control.
"How is this possible? A mere Nascent Soul Cultivator, how can he be this powerful?"
The Divinity Transformation Cultivator couldn’t believe it, feeling utterly humiliated.
He had lived so long, never subjected to such humiliation, forcibly commanded, kneeling before an enemy.
What scared him more was that he felt it was perfectly natural.
It seemed kneeling before this mysterious figure was not something disgraceful.
Soul Devourer!
However, Jiang Fan did not stop, with a wave of his hand, he quickly unleashed a second Bloodline Divine Technique—Soul Devourer.
Having advanced to Tier Five, the power of this Bloodline Divine Technique had increased tenfold, reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Boom~~
A solidified Ancient Soaring Snake emerged from the air, its body etched with countless mysterious runes, exuding an ancient, fierce, and formidable aura.
Like the revival of an Ancient Divine Beast.
It opened its mouth wide and swallowed the five mysterious cultivators.
In an instant, the souls of these five cultivators were devoured, their bodies collapsed to the ground, their eyes losing all color.
Without a doubt, mere Early Stage of Divinity Transformation Cultivators were nothing to Jiang Fan, who had reached Tier Five, capable of swallowing their souls in one gulp.
"The master is truly too strong, even a Divinity Transformation Cultivator can be easily killed."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron watched this scene, feeling very emotional.
It clearly remembered that Jiang Fan was just an ordinary cultivator in the past.
