Chapter 1613: Chapter 1602: The Original Female Protagonist of the Cultivation Text

"Is it her?" Yan Junyang followed Jiang Ruixiao’s gaze, "Don’t mind such a pretentious person. It’s best if she doesn’t launch a sneak attack in the hall. If she intends any harm towards you, I won’t be polite."

Jiang Ruixiao returned his smile, "Junyang, you’re so kind, but don’t you doubt what people say about her?"

"We are an unmarried couple. Compared to someone who doesn’t even dare to show their face, of course, I believe you," Yan Junyang affirmed.

"Thank you," Jiang Ruixiao said, touched. "But don’t worry, as the direct disciple of the Green Sun Sect, not just anyone can challenge me. Let’s go inside."

This time, Ye Qiu wasn’t as eager. As she watched Yan Junyang and Jiang Ruixiao brush past her, she noticed their meaningful glances and let out a low laugh. The lowered pressure around her made others instinctively keep their distance.

However, there was still one person who approached her. Zhao Yunqi softly said, "This fellow cultivator, I don’t know what grudge you have with Jiang Ruixiao, but if you seek revenge, be cautious. Jiang Ruixiao is very tricky, not only resourceful but also extremely insidious. She’s definitely not the pure and kind person people say. A truly pure-hearted person wouldn’t easily reach her current status."

"Thank you for the reminder, Fairy Zhao. You should also be more careful," Ye Qiu responded.

Zhao Yunqi frowned at Ye Qiu’s back. Why does this person give her such a strange feeling? How can they completely suppress their entire aura? What kind of cultivation technique is this?

Ignoring the probing gazes of the crowd, Ye Qiu walked into the grand hall alone, instantly entering the illusion realm, though it wasn’t much of a challenge for her.

At first, "her" Golden Core was extracted by Jiang Ruixiao, a situation brutally grim. Seeing no reaction from her, the scene shifted to "her" joining the Demon Path, returning centuries later for revenge, casting Jiang Ruixiao into endless hell. Still seeing no response, an Immortal Ascension Road appeared before her, with celestial music playing, Qilin and White Tiger roamed on the ground, Azure Dragon and Golden Phoenix soared in the sky—this was the Immortal Realm all cultivators longed for.

Yet Ye Qiu remained unfazed, even retorting coldly, "Trivial tricks."

All illusions dispersed, and Ye Qiu realized that many in the hall seemed tormented, especially Jiang Ruixiao, who appeared to see something she utterly detested, her jaw clenched, eyes reddened, as if ready to bleed her enemy and consume their flesh.

At this moment, Yan Junyang by Jiang Ruixiao’s side awakened, immediately noticing Ye Qiu’s gaze. He was startled, not because he recognized Ye Qiu but because he realized the person hostile towards them was the first to awaken from the illusion.

To awaken so swiftly from the illusion, there are only two possibilities: one, the person’s mind is exceptionally pure, with nothing to allure them, and the second, their resolve is extraordinarily tenacious, capable of easily seeing through illusions.

Yan Junyang frowned. If it’s the first, it proves this person as virtuous, leaving him no reason to harm them. But if it’s the second, it means this person is a formidable opponent, likely difficult to handle.

Ye Qiu stared at them both from beneath the brim of her hat, then chuckled lightly, crossing her arms and leaning against a corner to rest her eyes, seemingly with no intention of taking action.

Relieved, Yan Junyang thought he feared this person might take advantage of others, but it seems she’s not that kind of person. Yet, if she’s resolute, why is she set on taking revenge on Ruixiao? Is there some misunderstanding?

Ye Qiu rested her eyes for three days, with Jiang Ruixiao being among the last to awaken from the illusion. Feeling everyone’s gaze, she was extremely uneasy.

"Haunted by nightmares? Done too many bad deeds, perhaps?" Ye Qiu sneered, "Do you know why I didn’t take advantage and attack? I just want everyone to see your hypocritical face."

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. Everyone has heart demons. I’m just mourning my fellow disciples who perished during cultivation," Jiang Ruixiao maintained a cold demeanor.

Ye Qiu’s voice was flat, "Since no one can see your illusion, you can say whatever you like. Anyway, I advise everyone present, don’t be deceived by this First Immortal, or you’ll never know when you might die."

"Stop spreading rumors and causing confusion. Do you think you can overturn right and wrong like this?"

Ye Qiu merely smiled without speaking further, but Jiang Ruixiao’s face grew more irritated. She truly couldn’t recall ever offending someone like this, why hadn’t they appeared before?

Why only appear during the Immortal Mansion’s emergence? Jiang Ruixiao had a hunch that this person before her would surely disrupt her attempt to seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

"Something’s coming out." Someone suddenly exclaimed, and then a ball of light swiftly shot out from inside, vaguely revealing a small sword within.

"Is this what the Immortal Mansion’s owner left for us? Everyone, I’ll take it first," this person reacted swiftly, rushing to grab it, but the small sword avoided them as if it had eyes.

Everyone then attempted to claim this small sword, but it seemed to have its own spiritual sense, weaving among them, eluding everyone.

"Senior Brother Yan." A disciple of the Sword Sect looked nervously at Yan Junyang, who nodded before making a move. He released his Sword Qi, and the small sword seemed to like him, its halo slowly dissipating, transforming into a sharp long sword that landed in his hand.

"Immortal Sword!" someone exclaimed because of the intense aura emitted by the sword.

"It’s a half-immortal artifact," Yan Junyang explained, "The sword is damaged and lacks spiritual sense."

Yet, even so, obtaining the treasure made him the envy of many, but as the leading disciple of the Sword Sect and the foremost genius in the Cultivation World, no one dared to take the treasure from his hands.

Then everyone turned their eager eyes to the spot where the small sword had emerged. Where there’s a first, there must be a second. Since the Immortal Mansion’s owner is giving inheritance, they wouldn’t be so stingy.

"Here comes another." This time everyone was well prepared. All leapt into action, and this time there wasn’t just one; there were three items, one sealed in a wooden box whose contents were unknown but assuredly not lacking, considering the first was a half-immortal artifact. Additionally, there was an array plate and another sword.

Jiang Ruixiao wasn’t interested in the array plate or the sword; her gaze was set on the halo surrounding the box. Ye Qiu’s lips curled into a smile, and as Jiang Ruixiao made her move, so did Ye Qiu.

Her moves were mysterious, each gesture carrying an enigmatic aura, seemingly small in scope, but whenever Jiang Ruixiao was about to succeed, the box was knocked away.

Jiang Ruixiao’s eyes grew sharp, like a venomous snake glaring at her, but Ye Qiu was unafraid, even offering a provocative smile.
