Volume 1, Chapter 110 – Send Them into Reincarnation

The Yaochi Immortal Palace disciples, driven to the brink of despair, erupted in cries of joy like drowning people grasping at one last lifeline!

Ye Ling’er froze as well. Weak with relief at having survived, she could barely remain standing.

Liu Ruyan swept her gaze across the battlefield. At the sight of Ye Ling’er’s bloodstained robes and the grievous condition of her fellow disciples, anger flashed in her eyes.

Without breaking stride, she stepped directly into the center of the encirclement formed by the three factions!

An invisible, uncanny ripple that seemed capable of bringing time itself to a standstill swept outward from her in an instant!

Huo Wushuang’s spear strike, infused with all his spiritual power and killing intent, seemed to plunge into an invisible mire under the ripple’s influence. It could advance no farther!

“That strange divine ability again!”

Huo Wushuang’s pupils contracted sharply, shock and fury surging through him.

He had already been caught off guard by it and suffered at her hands at the entrance to the secret realm. Now she had used the same move again!

“Liu Ruyan… you…”

He roared, his Golden Core spinning furiously as he stared fixedly at Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan ignored him. Instead, she caught the pale, swaying Ye Ling’er and steadied her.

A gentle stream of spiritual power flowed into Ye Ling’er, temporarily sealing her wounds and calming the qi and blood roiling from overexertion.

“Fourth Junior Sister, you’ve done enough. Leave the rest to me.”

Liu Ruyan’s voice remained gentle, yet it carried a reassuring strength.

Ye Ling’er gazed at her resolute profile and parted her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, all she managed was a quiet murmur:

Reаⅾ oո KatRеadiոɡСαfе

“Be careful, Senior Sister… He’s very strong…”

Liu Ruyan smiled faintly. Only then did she slowly turn, her calm gaze sweeping across the nearly fifty disciples of the three factions before finally settling on Huo Wushuang.

“The young valley master of Heavenly Fire Valley?”

“At the entrance, I already showed you mercy.”

“Not only did you refuse to repent, you went even further, joining forces with others in an attempt to kill my fellow disciples.”

“Do you truly believe Yaochi Immortal Palace is such an easy target?”

Liu Ruyan’s calm gaze sent a chill through Huo Wushuang, but his unease was soon overwhelmed by even greater humiliation and rage.

He was the exalted young valley master of Heavenly Fire Valley, blessed with the Scarlet Flame Spirit Body. When had anyone ever treated him with such contempt?

And she had done it twice, in full view of everyone!

“Liu Ruyan! Stop putting on an act!”

Huo Wushuang finally broke free of the invisible restraints. He retreated two steps and leveled his spear at Liu Ruyan, shouting with more bluster than courage:

“Yaochi Immortal Palace is nothing more than a newly established sect! You think a few resources give you the right to look down on everyone else!”

“All three of our factions have joined forces today. Forget you, Liu Ruyan. Even if Gu Luoli came, she couldn’t save you!”

The two Golden Core leaders from Ten Thousand Poisons Ridge and the Xuanming Sect remained wary of the strange technique Liu Ruyan had just used.

But they had the advantage in numbers, and with Huo Wushuang, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, standing at the forefront, they quickly found their courage. Both stepped forward, locking their auras onto Liu Ruyan.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, when seeking treasure in a secret realm, everyone relies on their own abilities and accepts the risk of death. Gu Luoli killed one of our people from Ten Thousand Poisons Ridge. You owe us an explanation.”

The early-stage Golden Core young man from Ten Thousand Poisons Ridge spoke in a sinister voice.

The cold, handsome young man from the Xuanming Sect said nothing, but his gaze remained fixed on Liu Ruyan.

Faced with the aggression of all three factions and nearly fifty hostile gazes,

Zhang Cheng, Liu Yuan, and the others behind Liu Ruyan grew grim. They tightened their grips on their artifacts, ready to fight to the death.

As Liu Ruyan listened to their threats, the gentle smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by an icy calm.

“An explanation?”

She softly repeated the words and shook her head.

“It seems you’ve made up your minds to become enemies of Yaochi Immortal Palace.”

Her voice remained quiet, yet it carried clearly to everyone present.

“Since you seek death…”

Liu Ruyan slowly raised her right hand, palm upward. An even more intricate, uncanny rune gradually coalesced above it and began to rotate.

“Then I will… grant your wish.”

The instant the words left her lips…

“Samsara: Imprisonment!”

The rune in Liu Ruyan’s palm blazed with light!

A terrifying ripple, far vaster and more profound than before, erupted with thunderous force!

This time, it did far more than merely slow them down!

With Liu Ruyan at its center, the space within a thousand-foot radius seemed to have been sealed inside an invisible amber of frozen time!

Huo Wushuang, the young man from Ten Thousand Poisons Ridge, and the young man from the Xuanming Sect, the three Golden Core leaders, bore the brunt of it!

To their horror, they discovered that their movements had slowed more than tenfold.

The spiritual power surging through their bodies, and even the thoughts flashing through their minds, seemed to sink into a mire, becoming unbearably sluggish!

“W-What kind of divine ability is this?!”

“My spiritual power… I can’t circulate it!”

“Liu Ruyan… you witch!”

Shock crashed through all three of them like a raging storm. Never had they encountered such a bizarre sealing technique!

It utterly surpassed everything they believed a Golden Core cultivator capable of!

The Foundation Establishment disciples fared even worse.

Many froze in place entirely, as though struck by an immobilization spell.

Only moments ago, the battlefield had seethed with killing intent and thundered with noise. Now it was gripped by a deathly, motionless silence!

Only the disciples of Yaochi Immortal Palace remained largely unaffected. Although they also felt an invisible pressure, it did not significantly hinder their movements.

They stared at the astonishing scene before them, at enemies who had been insufferably arrogant moments earlier and now stood like lambs awaiting slaughter.

Every one of them was dumbstruck. Their awe and reverence for Senior Sister Liu reached new heights!

The moment Liu Ruyan unleashed Samsara: Imprisonment, her face grew noticeably paler. This divine ability clearly took an enormous toll on her.

Yet her gaze remained resolute. She walked forward slowly until she stood before the immobilized Huo Wushuang.

“Huo Wushuang.”

Liu Ruyan looked at him, her voice utterly calm.

“Relying on your family background and natural talent, you’ve acted arrogantly and provoked us time and again.”

“At the entrance to the secret realm, I already gave you a chance.”

“You failed to appreciate it. Instead, you went even further and tried to kill my fellow disciples.”

“Your actions have crossed Yaochi Immortal Palace’s bottom line!”

With every sentence she spoke, the fear in Huo Wushuang’s eyes deepened.

He could clearly sense the bone-chilling killing intent beneath her calm words!

“Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, send them into samsara!”

Liu Ruyan’s words rang out like an icy edict, shattering the battlefield’s deathly silence.
