Chapter 116: A Visitor from the Upper Realm

"Stop!" Seeing the man had caught his breath and looked ready to attack again, You You finally shouted.

He froze as if noticing them for the first time.

"You’re this sect’s celestial maiden!" Recognition flashed in his eyes along with guilt, but he kept gripping his sword. "I meant no harm to your immortal sect, but circumstances force me to borrow your spiritual veins for healing. I’ll repay your sect a hundredfold once my task is done!"

He raised his sword again, forming hand seals before slashing toward the spiritual pond with full force.

Then… the defensive formation bounced him back harder than before.

This time he flew like a tossed sack, landing face-first at You You’s feet with a loud splat.

You You: "……"

Yuan Qi: "……"

Ling Qi: "……"

Everyone: "……"

Well… this was awkward.

"Impossible!" The immortal spat blood, looking more haggard than ever. "How?!"

You You sighed, her earlier tension gone. "You can’t break this formation."

"What kind of formation is this?!" His voice shook.

"Just a basic defensive formation." Compared to Yuan Qi’s usual complex multi-layered barriers, this was child’s play.

"Lies! What master could create such an unbreakable defense?"

"Oh, I did." Yuan Qi smiled.

The immortal stared between You You and Yuan Qi, then wobbled upright. "I won’t be defeated by a mere formation!" He charged again, sword clanging uselessly against the glowing barrier.

"……" Such persistence for an immortal.

No one moved to stop him this time – clearly unnecessary.

You You rubbed her temples. "Yuan Papa, please talk sense into him."

"Of course." Yuan Qi vanished mid-smile… and promptly beat the immortal senseless.

Three minutes later…

"I yield!" A battered Nie Zheng knelt before them, eyeing Yuan Qi warily. "How…?"

"Why attack us after we saved you?" You You demanded.

Nie Zheng grimaced. "My heart meridian was scorched by boundary-shattering lightning. Only concentrated spiritual energy can heal it. I meant no harm – I’ll swear a heart demon oath to repay you!"

Yuan Qi tilted his head. "Boundary-shattering lightning wounds?"

"You know of it?!" Nie Zheng gaped. "The Three Realms’ barriers… I barely survived descending…" His eyes widened as he sensed Yuan Qi’s aura. "That power earlier wasn’t spiritual energy… it was divine!"

"Divine power?!" Nie Zheng’s face paled. "Did I accidentally ascend to the Divine Realm?!"

You You: "……"

Yuan Qi: "……"

Ling Qi: "……"

"Wrong realm." They chorused flatly.

Nie Zheng blinked. "But your presence…"

"Enough!" You You cut in. "We know you’re from the upper realm. This is Zhen Yan Sect in the Mortal Realm. Explain yourself properly – how you came here, your mission, and forget about our spiritual vein!"

After tense silence, Nie Zheng relented. "I serve Heavenly Emperor Yuntian. I came to eliminate traitor Jing Chen and retrieve the ancient divine artifact – Mirror of Enlightenment."

"Another divine artifact?" You You groaned. "Were these mass-produced in Ancient Times?"
