"S-slice off my heirloom?! Hey, listen to me first! I accidentally fell from the sky! I had absolutely no intention of peeping at all!" Fang Zhe shrieked in panic, racking his brain frantically while his neck was nearly strangled tight by Su Yin's water chains.However, his screams and self-defense were completely ignored. Su Yin leapt out of the lake with lightning-fast movements, swiftly donning her white silk dress while exuding a bone-chilling aura."Take him away! If you want to make excuses, you can defend yourself at the Punishment Hall later!" Su Yin shouted coldly, her eyes glinting with pure killing intent.The enraged female disciples of the Virgin Valley Sect immediately rushed forward. Two disciples at the Soul and Qi Unification Realm yanked the water chains roughly, crushing Fang Zhe's defenses and dragging him out of the lake like hunted game.Fang Zhe attempted to circulate the Qi inside his Soul Dantian to rebel. However, the gap in cultivation realms between him and

Cold sweat the size of corn kernels dripped from Fang Zhe's temples. The pressure from the Punitive Elder’s palm grew heavier, causing his chest to creak as if it were on the verge of collapsing.‘Damn it! Where the hell am I supposed to get physical evidence?! The System is still updating, and that teleportation circle was just something I made up!’ Fang Zhe cursed internally, his brain working past its absolute limit.If he admitted he had no proof, his head—and his precious 'family heirloom'—were guaranteed to be parted from his body tonight. But if he randomly fabricated the identity of a top-tier master, the Elder before him, who had weathered countless storms in the cultivation world, would easily spot the flaw.There was only one way out: a high-level bluff!Fang Zhe took a deep breath, deliberately allowing his eyes to project deep fear—not fear of the Punitive Elder, but a concocted dread, as if he were recalling a truly terrifying entity."P-proof of his name?" Fang Zhe laug

BZZZZZZZT!A subtle rumble resonated from the base of the Cloud-Mist Cauldron, its vibrations felt all the way through the soles of everyone standing in the Hall of Punishment.Under the tense gaze of dozens of onlookers, Fang Zhe briefly closed his eyes, focusing on the memories he had once utilized in the mortal realm.With movements as fluid as a dancing dragon, Fang Zhe instantly willed the golden fire sparks out from his Soul Dantian. Rather than engulfing the entire furnace like standard alchemical techniques, he split the flowing Qi into dozens of microscopically thin energy threads!SZZZZT!The Eternal Snow Flower and the Frozen Star Root inside the cauldron's chamber suddenly rose, levitating amidst a cavity of air shrouded in frigid mist. Fang Zhe's threads of Qi probed into every petal and root fiber, extracting the herbal essence with terrifying precision!In a matter of seconds, the solid herbs melted completely into a pure, crystal-blue liquid that radiated a dazzling lu

A sudden silence blanketed the ruins of the Disciplinary Hall. Dust and lingering traces of purple-golden lightning still danced wildly in the air, shrouding Fang Zhe’s smoke-covered body.Before the elders and disciples could process this impossible scene, an explosive surge of energy suddenly erupted from deep within Fang Zhe!Whoosh!"M-My cultivation aura is rising?" Fang Zhe murmured, slightly taken aback.The spiritual aura around his Soul Dantian—previously faint and drained of Qi—suddenly swirled into a violent vortex. The remnant energy of the Divine Tribulation Lightning that had breached his body did not merely shatter and regenerate his bones and nerve pathways; it was absorbed and forcefully forged into raw fuel for his cultivation!CRACK! BOOM!The sound of a realm barrier shattering echoed like a divine bell inside Fang Zhe's mind.His spiritual radiance shot up dramatically. The intensity of his aura, which had initially lingered at the One-Star Qi and Soul Fusion Real

Hearing the threat of cutting off his "precious heirloom" brought up once again with utter innocence by the Disciplinary Elder, Fang Zhe's relaxed posture instantly shattered. The young man's eyes bulged, his hands instinctively moving to protect his lower body with a wildly dramatic expression.'Holy crap! You damned old hag, are you a Disciplinary Elder or a vital asset bandit?!' Fang Zhe screamed internally, panicking half to death.He stared at the triumphantly smiling Disciplinary Elder, then turned to glance at Su Yin, who stood awkwardly beside her. The choice offered by this witch before him was completely unfair! Leave the sect without his "most valuable asset," or stay in a sect populated by thousands of beautiful women, but burdened with the status of being "responsible" for a maiden's purity?!'Damned system... What kind of quest throws me into a lair of cunning old hags like this?!' Fang Zhe wailed, lamenting his miserable luck.Seeing Fang Zhe remaining frozen with rapid
