“Junior Sister Qingyue, you don’t want your sister sent to the Blazing Flame Sect as a cultivation cauldron, do you?”
“As long as Junior Sister stays with me once, I’ll ask my master to help handle it. Naturally, your sister’s name won’t appear on that list.”
Joyous Sect, back mountain forbidden area, outside the cave!
A middle-aged man was sizing up the woman in front of him. The woman had a pitiful and lovable air.
Today, he and Liu Qingyue had been assigned to guard the back mountain forbidden area. With a man and a woman alone together here, it was truly a heaven-sent opportunity.
There would not be a third person here!
“Senior Brother Yaolian, how could you do this? I never thought you were such a person! I thought you were different from other men…”
Liu Qingyue looked at Bu Yaolian, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
She had originally thought Senior Brother Yaolian was an upright person. She never expected him to use her sister to threaten her.
Bu Yaolian sneered and stopped pretending. “Think it over yourself. Anyway, I’m not forcing you.”
Bu Yaolian clasped his hands behind his back and said with feigned seriousness, “Think about it. If your sister gets sent to the Blazing Flame Sect, how miserable would her fate be? Who knows whether she’ll live one month or two.”
At this, Liu Qingyue’s delicate brows knitted slightly.
After a moment of thought, Liu Qingyue bit her silver teeth. “O-once?”
“That’s right, just once!”
Bu Yaolian licked his lips, ecstatic in his heart. Once there was a first time, there would naturally be a second.
After all, every month their Joyous Sect sent a batch of female disciples with low cultivation there.
By then, he could continue threatening her.
Bu Yaolian looked at her, overjoyed.
But his hand was grabbed by Liu Qingyue, who said shyly, “Senior Brother, we can’t do it here. What if other disciples see us? Besides, it’s broad daylight. How about… at night instead?”
“Junior Sister, I can’t wait any longer. I’ve been waiting for this day for a full three years. Do you know how I’ve gotten through these three years? I could only rely on imagination…”
“Junior Sister, don’t worry. This is a forbidden area. There won’t even be a ghost here. What are you afraid of? How about we go a little deeper into the cave? Anyway, the cave is very deep, and no one knows what’s inside. If we go in just a little bit, it’ll be fine.”
As Bu Yaolian spoke, he tugged her inward. Her shy appearance was truly mesmerizing.
“Senior Brother, don’t… can you please spare me?”
Looking at the dark, deep cave, Liu Qingyue’s eyes were full of grievance, but she was still being pulled step by step inside.
“Let her go! In broad daylight, how can disciples of my sect commit such despicable acts?”
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a man with disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and a face covered in a wild-looking beard walked out from inside.
“Ah!”
Both of them were startled so badly that they trembled. How could there be someone inside?
No one knew how many years the back mountain forbidden area had existed. Ever since they entered the sect, people had always been guarding it in rotating shifts, and no one was allowed to enter it, including their Sect Master.
As for what exactly was inside, no one knew, and no one asked.
“You see this Patriarch emerging from seclusion, and you still don’t kneel at once?”
Chu Fan glared with wide eyes, full of imposing presence and righteousness.
He never imagined that he would be reincarnated into the body of an old monster who had lived for over a thousand years.
Chu Fan had originally been nothing more than an extra. Because of an accident, he was reincarnated.
From the memories of the original owner, he learned that the man was also called Chu Fan. He was the founding Patriarch of the Nine Sun Divine Sect, had taken in one male and one female direct disciple, and through more than a thousand years of cultivation had developed the sect into the number one sect under heaven.
His cultivation was not far from ascension. He was preparing to go into seclusion to break through a bottleneck, and he told the sect disciples to send people to guard the cave outside.
Until he emerged from seclusion, no one was allowed to disturb him.
But during the attempt to break through, his state of mind was unstable. He spat out a mouthful of old blood and died on the spot.
Chu Fan accepted things as they were.
After being reincarnated into such a terrifying existence, what was there to fear?
Unexpectedly, just after walking out of the cave, he ran into a male disciple about to bully a female disciple. That instantly ignited the original owner’s righteous heart, and the scene at the beginning came to be.
“You’re the Patriarch of our sect? I never heard that there was a Patriarch in the forbidden area?”
Caught guilty and flustered, Bu Yaolian was startled, but he quickly asked with a puzzled look.
“You dare question this Patriarch? Ridiculous!”
Chu Fan said with a cold laugh, “Looks like you two are newly recruited disciples of the sect. I am your founding Patriarch, so it’s not strange that you haven’t heard of me.”
With that, Chu Fan clenched his fist and pointed at Bu Yaolian. “This Patriarch despises bullies who abuse their power the most. Die!”
But in the next second, he was speechless.
What was going on? He pointed straight ahead, so why didn’t any spiritual energy shoot out?
He had to know that in the past, he had practically been called the strongest person in the world. A single finger could have poked the other man to death, but now…
The atmosphere gradually became awkward.
He immediately used his spiritual sense to check, and nearly fainted on the spot. His cultivation was gone?
He had cultivated for thousands of years and was almost ready to ascend, yet his cultivation was gone? What was going on?
“I understand now. After this person died, the spiritual energy inside the body slowly leaked away. While it was leaking away, it also nourished the body, which is why the body had not rotted.”
Chu Fan quickly figured it out. No one knew how many years the other person had been dead. Since there was no cultivation, even after death the rate at which spiritual energy leaked away was very slow.
Chu Fan was a little speechless. How was he supposed to show off in the future? How was he supposed to enjoy effortless smoothness?
Looking at the dazed expression on the other man’s face, Chu Fan pretended to stay calm and waved his hand. “Fine, fine. Considering this is your first offense, I will spare your life this time!”
Bu Yaolian broke out in a cold sweat. The way this man spoke, his bearing… so domineering. He looked like someone who had killed countless people.
After all, a true expert’s murderous aura was something time itself could not wash away!
“T-thank you, Patriarch, for sparing my life!”
Bu Yaolian trembled as he spoke, not daring to look at the old man in front of him.
“Go and call Ye Fan and Liu Shishi over here. Tell them to come see me immediately. Tell them their master has emerged from seclusion!”
Chu Fan waved his hand, and because his sleeves were already tattered, that one wave directly tore off half a sleeve.
With the memories from the previous life, returning to the peak did not seem difficult. His two disciples were surely standing at the pinnacle of the world as well. Asking them for some cultivation resources would be a trivial matter, right?
Thinking of this, Chu Fan still felt hopeful about the future.
“All right, Senior!”
Bu Yaolian hurriedly prepared to leave, but soon frowned again and turned back awkwardly. “Senior, I-I’ve never heard of these two people.”
“You’ve never heard of them?”
Chu Fan frowned. What was going on? There were people who had never heard of his two disciples’ names?
“Has your current Sect Master changed? What’s the name?”
After thinking for a moment, Chu Fan could not help saying, “Looks like this Patriarch has been in seclusion for too long. They must have ascended already?”
“Patriarch, our current Sect Master is Ye Yanji…”
Bu Yaolian cupped his hands. He very much wanted to probe the other man’s cultivation, but he did not dare. The other man claimed to be their sect’s Patriarch, and his cultivation was probably unfathomable. If he were discovered, that would be courting death.
“Then go call her over. Bring a few elders to welcome this Patriarch out of seclusion.”
Chu Fan waved his hand. “Also, bring me a proper set of clothes. I’ve been in seclusion too long, and my clothes are in tatters.”
“Yes! I’ll report it right away!”
Bu Yaolian could not understand why a powerful expert’s clothes would tear so easily. He gave Chu Fan a suspicious look before obediently going to report back.
“Thank you, Patriarch, for your help!”
Liu Qingyue’s eyes were full of gratitude.
“You, come over here! Let this Patriarch have a good look at you.”
Chu Fan beckoned to her.
She walked over, looking somewhat afraid.
“Our sect’s female disciples are this beautiful? This figure is truly incredible!”
Looking at her pitiful and lovable appearance, Chu Fan felt a surge of excitement. “Don’t worry. From now on, this Patriarch will protect you.”
Liu Qingyue discovered that the old man was actually staring at her, and her cheeks flushed red. Was this Patriarch such a lecher?
“Ding! Congratulations, host. It is detected that the host has a love of beauty, and the Nine Sun Divine Body makes you suitable for cultivating the Joys of Union technique!”
“Binding the Joys of Union System…”
“System binding successful!”
“…”
Chu Fan was stunned. Damn it, it didn’t even ask whether he agreed or not and just bound itself directly?
The Joys of Union System? It sounded a little perverted.
