CHAPTER 426
The Little Brainiac
============================================================

"What! She looks barely a teenager! You're saying she's at the Great Perfection stage?"

"Keep your voice down! That female succubus is watching me again!"

"Aren't you at peak Nascent Soul? How could you lose to her disciple?"

"Does she even play fair? That Red Dust Sword—who could possibly defeat her? If you fight her, you better be quick with your words, or you won't even get to state your name!"

Honestly, Su Cheng found it all quite amusing…

This Su Muchan was indeed quick! Others might be sharp-tongued but slow with a blade, often suffering losses when mercy was shown!

Su Cheng thought that if Su Muchan were in their place, she'd be lucky to even get one word out before the blade fell!

Hearing her master's silent praise, Su Muchan couldn't help but curve her lips. Hehe~

See? See? She just never got the chance to prove herself to her master. If given the opportunity, she could show how outstanding she truly was!

Given more time and opportunities like this~

she wouldn't worry about obtaining a new identity token or ascending to the Lingxian Hall!

Whether as an elder or a disciple, having any status at all would be better than nothing!

Of course it would be ideal if Master Su Cheng accepted her as a direct disciple. But even if he didn't, Elder? Steward? Either would do!

She wouldn't be picky!

As long as her master accepted her, she wouldn't mind sharing him with Yu Lan~

She was far more resourceful than that Qiao Qi'er!

And I heard that Bai Tao showed her body to Su Cheng, so she can get a free ride too!

She could do that too!

She's pretty confident in her figure!

Just looking won't hurt anyone, right? Just look~ Look, and who knows? Maybe you'll grow fond of her while you're at it?

"Master, what kind of shooting technique is Senior Sister Jue using? It's so fierce!"

"That's the Cloud-Shattering Technique. But her prowess stems from her extraordinary talent and relentless cultivation."

Su Muchan thought to herself, "Even your worst moves, Grandmaster Su, are top-tier Immortal-grade!"

Even if this Shattered Cloud Technique were taught to a pig, that pig could still instantly kill a Nascent Soul cultivator!

What a load of nonsense—exceptional talent? Diligent cultivation?

She couldn't help but scoff.

"Muchan, I know what you're thinking, but the time isn't right yet."

"Huh?"

Su Cheng merely smiled, saying nothing more…

But Su Muchan was no child to be easily dismissed~

If you don't explain clearly, then Mu Chan will start guessing wildly~

"Master, could it be…?" Su Muchan's expression flickered—a hint of surprise mingled with a touch of bashfulness!

As if she hadn't expected her master to actually want her…

Or perhaps she was acting like some virtuous gentleman, truly at a loss with her master~

Su Cheng_(゚Д゚)ノ

"Whatever you're thinking right now, you're thinking it all wrong!"

Su Muchan smirked mischievously: "Oh? Does Master even know what Muchan is thinking?"

【This guy, this expression, is this right? She's definitely getting the wrong idea!】

【One hit like that would leave her crippled if not dead!】

【This master has principles! Since you've taken me as your master, I'll never have improper thoughts about you!】

Su Muchan had her own cheat codes. Hearing her master's sarcastic expression about her, she was laughing so hard she couldn't move~

Not all succubi walk around looking like they're constantly horny. How could Master generalize based on society's misconceptions about succubi and assume they're all evil?

Hehe~

Principles? What if Mu Chan did harbor improper thoughts? How would the master handle that?

But clearly, now wasn't the time. Su Muchan could only feign innocence and disappointment, nodding her head~

Before they could exchange two more words, Dongfang Jue unleashed his ultimate move!

"This is taking too long…"

But it wasn't her big move—she summoned her master's magical artifact instead!

Dongfang Jue's jade-like hand lightly tapped the jade pendant. Instantly, a golden stream of light shot forth, transforming into a miniature Demon-Sealing Stele in her palm!

Spiritual energy surged forth, and Dongfang Jue's aura shifted once more!

As if cradling a sacred treasure, she held the ink-black demon-suppressing stele aloft with both hands!

The demon-suppressing stele slowly rose into the air, then began to grow larger and larger! Larger and larger!

Until it obscured the sky and sun, shrouding the entire Illusory Mountain!

"Demon-Sealing Stele!"

Like a conductor at a concert, Dongfang Jue's fair arms seemed lifted by divine magic as she raised them high.

The Demon-Sealing Stele obeyed her as if it were a spirit artifact she had nurtured!

Following the direction of her fingers, it rose again, slowly! Higher and higher! Higher and higher!

Her pink tongue lightly flicked her silver teeth, a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips, radiating absolute confidence.

As her slender fingers swept through the air before her, Dongfang Jue's commanding presence radiated as she declared.

"Smash it down!"

In an instant, the sky-obscuring Demon-Sealing Stele descended…

The world fell silent…

It was merely the barrier of a secret realm—how could it possibly withstand the Demon-Sealing Stele?

It was like smashing a brick against half an eggshell—visibly, the Demon-Sealing Stele encountered not the slightest resistance!

"Master said Phantom Mountain is beautiful. Such a lovely place shouldn't be ruined~"

"You… you lunatic!"

With that, before the Demon-Sealing Stele could fully descend, Dongfang Jue retrieved it!

Though Dongfang Jue had merely shattered the grand formation without causing apocalyptic destruction, this did nothing to diminish the Phantom Mountain Immortal's realization of the artifact's terrifying power!

The Phantom Mountain Demi-Immortal was utterly dumbfounded. How could such a treasure be in the hands of this girl?

Such power—it must be a celestial-grade artifact, right?

The thought struck the Phantom Mountain Half-Immortal, and he immediately turned to flee!

To confront such a treasure head-on would be sheer folly!

Who could withstand it? Even if Dongfang Jue were to face it alone, she'd be reduced to ashes!

Moreover, if this Demon-Sealing Stele truly was a celestial artifact, how could a mere Golden Core cultivator like this girl possibly wield it?

This fucking doesn't make sense!

This fucking doesn't make sense!

"Think you can escape? Think again!"

As the words fell, the Demon-Sealing Stele retracted into the jade pendant, and the Fallen Immortal Ruler was summoned!

"Fallen Immortal Ruler! Binding Immortal Array!"

But it didn't end there. Unlike Dongfang Jue and Ye Qinghan, Dongfang Jue valued efficiency above all else.

The task entrusted by his master was paramount.

The crucial task was to capture this fellow—he couldn't be allowed to escape!

"Not done yet! Subdue Demon Formation!"

This combo sequence scared Guo Ce's master's wife so badly she wet herself…

Literally wet herself…

She was, after all, a cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage who had been practicing grain-free fasting for years…

Before the Half-Immortal of Huanshan could flee far, he found himself blocked by the formation—forcing a Breakthrough was utterly impossible!

No choice—he had to turn around!

But the moment he turned around, before he could even think of leaving, he sensed the suppression of space!

Dongfang Jue didn't even move a muscle as he yanked the Phantom Mountain Half-Immortal down from the sky, pinning him firmly beneath his feet with the Immortal-Binding Array!

Yet no one would passively await their demise. Faced with Dongfang Jue's overwhelming power, escape was the only viable option.

But…

What was this item battle?

It meant there was never a chance to fight back from the very beginning.

No sooner had he risen to his feet than the ground beneath him transformed into a pitch-black swamp, dark enough to swallow sunlight!

Before the Half-Immortal of Phantom Mountain could comprehend what was happening, countless tentacles erupted from the black swamp, reaching out to drag him into its depths!

The Half-Immortal of Huanshan could only struggle with all his might. Golden light instantly enveloped his body, and finally, a first roar erupted from him—a roar like that of a man!

"Open!"

But even using every ounce of strength, even that golden light that seemed to threaten self-destruction, only granted him a fleeting moment of freedom. He managed to break free from just one tentacle…

And there were likely dozens of such tentacles. As soon as one was repelled by the protective golden light, another swiftly wrapped around him!
