Chapter 16: Joyous Dao Sect Leader, Return to Our Sect With Me as My First Male Consort!

With Ji Yingyue’s successful rebirth, a vortex of spiritual energy instantly formed above the room, continuously sucking in spiritual energy from all around.

The spiritual energy for ten miles around rushed towards it like rivers flowing into the sea, surging wildly from every direction.

The Purple Phoenix Divine Flame inside the room burned even more fiercely, melting all the pills and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures beside Ji Yingyue into a liquid spiritual essence.

This spiritual essence wrapped around Ji Yingyue as nourishment for her breakthrough, supplying her as she ascended to a higher cultivation realm.

Boom!

Following a thunderous roar, an immense pressure burst forth into the heavens.

“The Rotating Sea Realm! Sister Yingyue is now a Grandmaster too!”

Feeling Ji Yingyue break through to the Grandmaster level, Su Nianshuang smiled.

However, even after Ji Yingyue had broken through to become a Grandmaster, the aura inside the room still continued to rise.

Sensing this, Qin Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Looks like Yingyue wants to use this rebirth to catch up to you in one go!”

As the Holy Maiden of Tai Xuan Sacred Land, Ji Yingyue possessed her own pride and ambition.

Of the three, while Qin Xuan might be at a similar cultivation realm as her, he was a Peerless Prodigy who had grasped the Second-Layer Sword Intent.

With the power of Sword Intent enhancing him, he could potentially challenge practitioners of the Palace of Dao Realm!

Su Nianshuang, while not as powerful in combat as Qin Xuan, was also a true Rotating Sea Realm Grandmaster.

But Ji Yingyue herself was still just a Master of the Divine Martial Realm, which naturally left her feeling a little down.

After all, among the three, her starting point was definitely the highest, yet now she was the weakest one.

Therefore, Ji Yingyue also wanted to use this rebirth to close the gap between herself and the other two.

So, over the next few days, thunderous booms indicating realm breakthroughs continually echoed from the room, and the aura emanating from Ji Yingyue grew increasingly powerful.

Meanwhile, Qin Xuan and Su Nianshuang didn’t waste time either and devoted themselves to their own cultivation.

At the same time, beyond the borders of the Azure Dragon Dynasty, within the majestic gates of a certain sect.

A similarly terrifying aura burst into the sky, filled with an icy, killing intent.

“You said what? The Han family was destroyed by someone named Qin Xuan? Han Feihong is dead?!”

The assassin dispatched by the Azure Dragon Dynasty gritted his teeth, forcing his body not to tremble as he spoke to the beautiful woman in a scarlet robe before him.

“Yes! Though Qin Xuan is only a Divine Martial Realm Master, he has grasped the Second-Layer Sword Intent, making his combat power unparalleled! Even the Patriarch of the Han Family was slain by his own hand!”

“Damnation! How dare he kill my Feihong! Even if he is a prodigy with Second-Layer Sword Intent, this Sect Leader will make him pay with his life!”

The beautiful woman in the scarlet robe, her figure full and voluptuous, was incandescent with rage; her ample chest heaving with emotion.

The overwhelming pressure radiating from her made the assassin feel suffocated.

This scarlet-robed beauty standing before the assassin was none other than the leader of the Joyous Dao Sect, a true powerhouse at the Palace of Dao Realm!

The Joyous Dao Sect was an elite-level sect where disciples practiced Joyous Dao cultivation techniques and dual cultivation methods!

Though the Joyous Dao Sect’s strength was slightly inferior to the Azure Dragon Dynasty’s, the difference was minimal.

The sect also boasted several Palace of Dao Realm powerhouses among its ranks!

The scarlet-robed woman before him was named Fei Qian, the strongest cultivator of the Joyous Dao Sect and its unparalleled leader, a mighty existence at the third level of the Palace of Dao Realm!

Sect Leader Fei Qian of the Joyous Dao Sect and Han Feihong, Patriarch of the Han Family, shared a profound connection—they were intimate cultivation partners.

They had even had a daughter together: the Han Family’s Eldest Miss!

The reason Han Feihong showered such care upon the Eldest Miss was precisely because of this relationship.

Over the years, thanks to this connection, Han Feihong had obtained numerous resources from Fei Qian.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to reach the ninth level of the Rotating Sea Realm so quickly.

Of course, Fei Qian’s support for Han Feihong wasn’t solely due to her feelings; besides finding him skillful in intimate cultivation, another reason was the Han Family’s significant influence.

They held a position of immense power within the Azure Dragon Dynasty itself!

Therefore, Fei Qian had lavished Han Feihong with resources, hoping to help him break through to the Palace of Dao Realm.

If successful, the combined power of the Joyous Dao Sect and the Han Family could potentially challenge the Azure Dragon Dynasty’s imperial court!

Should they triumph, the Han Family could then supplant the Azure Dragon royal house, allowing the Joyous Dao Sect to reap immense rewards!

This was the deeper scheme behind Fei Qian and Han Feihong maintaining their intimate relationship all along.

Now, with Han Feihong slain by Qin Xuan, Fei Qian had not only lost her intimate partner but also seen her grand plan—using the Han Family to overthrow the Azure Dragon imperial court and seize control of the entire dynasty—utterly shattered!

How could she not be furious?

How could she not wish to tear Qin Xuan limb from limb?

“And whose lapdog are you?” Fei Qian demanded, turning her fierce gaze onto the assassin.

Instantly, cold sweat broke out on the assassin’s back. Faced with the penetrating stare of a Palace of Dao Realm powerhouse, he felt utterly stripped of any control over his own life.

However, having been trained as a disposable operative, he possessed considerable fortitude and resolve.

Though Fei Qian’s overwhelming presence threatened to force him to his knees, he remained silent.

“Hmph! I don’t need you to tell me ‘Master of Mischief’!” Fei Qian sneered. “It must be that crafty villain the Azure Dragon King! Trying to borrow another’s blade to kill, is he?”

Having been neighbors with the Azure Dragon Dynasty for a long time, Fei Qian understood the Azure Dragon King well.

Yet, even knowing he was trying to use her as a weapon, Fei Qian was all too willing to become that blade.

After all, she needed someone to kill to vent her fury!

The assassin, hearing her words, still maintained his silence.

As long as he didn’t explicitly name his employer, Fei Qian’s deductions, however accurate, would remain mere speculation without proof!

“Fine! This Sect Leader will be that blade! Lead the way!” Fei Qian declared, seeing the assassin’s resolute expression. She instantly deduced his allegiance.

With a flick of her wrist, a massive hand formed of condensed Spiritual Energy materialized instantly.

She grabbed the assassin and, following the direction he pointed, shot towards Qingfeng City like a bolt of scarlet lightning.

As a third-level Palace of Dao Realm expert, Fei Qian feared only the two ancient, decaying powerhouses residing within the imperial family of the Azure Dragon Dynasty. Any other major expert held no terror for her.

She traversed the vast territory of the Azure Dragon Dynasty openly and blatantly, flying straight from the Joyous Dao Sect to Qingfeng City.

Along the way, her overwhelming aura, combined with her voluptuous figure and striking looks, drew numerous powerful culturators who trailed her all the way to Qingfeng City.

Everyone wanted to see what this Joyous Dao Sect leader was planning.

BOOOOOM!!!

Arriving before the gates of the Qin Manor, Fei Qian viciously crushed the assassin into pulp with her spiritual energy hand. Then, with another flick of her wrist, she shattered the massive manor gates along with the two stone lion statues flanking it into clouds of dust.

“Qin Xuan! Come out and meet your death!”

Hearing this, the gathered onlookers gasped in shock.

This Joyous Dao Sect leader had crossed the entire Azure Dragon Dynasty just to kill the newly risen Qin Family talent!

“So she came all this way to kill Qin Xuan?!”

“Why? The Qin Family is so far from the Joyous Dao Sect! How did Qin Xuan offend her?”

“Right! I don’t understand either!”

“Shh! Let me tell you a secret… The Joyous Dao Sect leader has a particular favorite among her male consorts… and his surname is Han!”

“Gasp! That makes so much sense now!”

Inside the Qin Manor, Qin Xuan, who had been cultivating, suddenly frowned. In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared before the ruined gates.

Looking at the voluptuous woman in a scarlet robe standing before him—Fei Qian—Qin Xuan racked his brain but couldn’t recall who this madwoman demanding his death might be.

“Who are you?” he asked, confused.

Fei Qian, who had been radiating murderous fury moments before, suddenly stilled the moment her eyes landed on Qin Xuan’s face—as handsome as a fallen immortal—along with his tall, chiseled physique and potent masculine aura.

Her body went slightly weak at the knees. The Joyous Art cultivation technique she practiced stirred within her, and her instincts for intimate cultivation flared intensely.

Her fury began to melt away, replaced by another, more heated desire.

A captivating smile spread across Fei Qian’s face. She raised a delicate finger and pointed it at Qin Xuan, her crimson tongue lightly moistening her red lips.

The terrifying pressure of a Palace of Dao Realm master erupted fully, sweeping out in all directions, making the hearts of all present tremble with fear.

Yet her command was utterly unexpected:

“Qin Xuan! Come back to our sect with me! I’ll make you my first male consort!”
