The next moment, she whipped Yun Fan directly.
"Ah~"
Screams echoed through the night sky.
Yun Fan had guessed the beginning, but never expected such a brutal ending.
Qing Ming, in this moment, transformed into a ruthless demoness, beating Yun Fan until his flesh was torn.
When it was over, Qing Ming quietly returned to normal and was utterly stunned by the scene before her.
"This... is this still me?"
At this moment, Qing Ming began to doubt her life.
Yun Fan, however, said tragically, "Yes, it's you!"
"I... I'm sorry!"
Even after returning to her senses, Qing Ming felt her actions were too excessive.
"It's fine, you hit me anyway!"
Yun Fan almost wept. This was more than just playing around; it was practically life-threatening. If he hadn't sealed his own strength.
From the moment Qing Ming first struck, he should have resisted. Unfortunately, he'd been foolish and sealed his own strength.
He could only blame his own excessive kindness for leading to this situation.
At this, Qing Ming left dejectedly, not daring to face Yun Fan.
After returning to her room, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. While feeling guilty in her heart, a sense of excitement also arose.
She knew this was a sign of her increasingly severe love tribulation.
Thus, a day passed. The next evening, Yun Fan lay in his room, no longer daring to seek out Qing Ming for conversation.
He swore that even if Qing Ming came looking for him later, he wouldn't open the door, as the torment he endured last night still left him with lingering trauma.
However, at this very moment, Qing Ming knocked on his door.
"Not opening!"
Yun Fan stated directly.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong! Please, please open the door!"
Qing Ming said pitifully from outside.
Yun Fan asked, "Do you have the whip?"
"No, don't worry!"
Qing Ming explained from outside.
Instantly, Yun Fan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was truly terrified of being hit, so at this moment, his vigilance involuntarily increased.
When he opened the door and saw that Qing Ming was indeed unarmed, he finally relaxed completely.
"Dao Venerable, why are you looking for me so late?"
Yun Fan asked, puzzled.
Qing Ming replied pitifully, "I must have hurt you badly last night, right?"
"Does that even need to be asked?"
Yun Fan was truly speechless. It wasn't just pain; his most fragile little heart was shattered.
At this, Qing Ming said, "I'm sorry, I'll put medicine on you!"
"I'm almost healed. Dao Venerable, if there's nothing else, you should go rest,"
Yun Fan's only goal now was to recover from his injuries and then find the God of Slaughter to settle the score.
But Qing Ming directly shed tears.
Looking at Qing Ming in this state, Yun Fan felt a strange sense of guilt for some reason.
"Are you trying to send me away?"
She asked pitifully.
"No, you've misunderstood!"
Yun Fan quickly explained.
But Qing Ming said weakly, "I know, I'm an annoying person, and it's normal for you to dislike me, but I just wish I could spend more time with you!"
"Uh..."
With Qing Ming saying this, Yun Fan felt he couldn't possibly turn her away. Thus, he said to Qing Ming, "Dao Venerable, come in and talk!"
He knew that Qing Ming in this state was very unstable, so at this moment, he had to offer her more care.
At this, Qing Ming leaned into his embrace and said, "Do you know? I've always liked you, but I couldn't admit it!"
"Why?"
Yun Fan asked, confused.
Qing Ming replied, "Because too many people like you, you've even stolen my disciple away. I can't do something that betrays my disciple! It's just that my love tribulation is already very severe, and I hope you won't abandon me!"
"Don't worry, I won't!"
Yun Fan quickly replied.
At this moment, Qing Ming lay quietly in his arms. In Yun Fan's eyes, Qing Ming in this state was incredibly adorable.
If only Qing Ming could always remain like this.
Just as he thought things would calm down, he suddenly felt a chill.
It turned out Qing Ming had returned to normal and was glaring at him with murderous intent.
"Kid, how dare you take liberties with me!"
Qing Ming roared furiously.
Yun Fan quickly explained, "Dao Venerable, you've misunderstood. I didn't initiate it!"
"Are you saying I initiated it?"
Qing Ming asked coldly.
"It seems so!"
Yun Fan stated plainly.
"You..."
Qing Ming immediately attacked, intending to teach Yun Fan a lesson. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yun Fan moved and blocked her strike.
"Dao Venerable, I think you should stop resisting and just break through your love tribulation directly!"
Yun Fan said helplessly. If this continued, he feared he would go mad.
However, Qing Ming directly refused, "No, I won't take that step unless it's absolutely necessary!"
Although she wanted to, with the relationship with Wang You, she ultimately couldn't take that step, even though she longed for it terribly.
Yun Fan said, "Stop resisting, don't torture yourself anymore! You can't endure it!"
"What do you want to do?"
Qing Ming asked warily.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yun Fan launched a preemptive strike and kissed her directly.
Qing Ming froze. She had never imagined that one day she would be so boldly kissed.
Yet, she lacked the courage to resist, allowing Yun Fan to have his way.
"Forget it, I'll leave it to him."
At this moment, Qing Ming chose to face it calmly. After letting go of everything, she felt it wasn't such a big deal.
After all, everyone had the right to pursue love.
...
After a night passed, Qing Ming lay in Yun Fan's embrace. She was utterly exhausted, as last night's "battle" had lasted far too long.
Yun Fan looked at Qing Ming beside him with a triumphant expression. Even though she was usually as dignified as a peerless empress.
But what of it? She had been conquered by him anyway.
With the resolution from last night, Qing Ming's love tribulation was no longer as severe.
In reality, she was already awake, but dared not open her eyes, waiting for Yun Fan to leave before getting up.
However, Yun Fan showed no signs of leaving, which made Qing Ming very exasperated.
Just then, Yun Fan suddenly slapped her, her body responding with a jiggle.
"This scoundrel!"
Qing Ming wanted to strangle Yun Fan. She hadn't expected him to tease her at a time like this.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she opened her eyes, startling Yun Fan.
"Darling, how did you wake up?"
This endearment instantly moved Qing Ming. The desire to punish Yun Fan vanished, and she softened.
Thus, she chose a different way to "punish" Yun Fan.
Another round of intense action followed.
After the "battle," Yun Fan left triumphantly. Qing Ming lay there, extremely weak. She realized this wasn't a punishment for Yun Fan, but for herself.
It had to be said, this was a truly tragic turn of events. She resolved never to "punish" Yun Fan again.
Thus, two days later, Qing Ming finally welcomed her love tribulation. Once she overcame this, she would be safe and sound.
At this, Yun Fan said, "Darling, I'm going to find the God of Slaughter to settle accounts. You stay here and cultivate until I return!"
"So soon?"
Qing Ming said to Yun Fan, "The God of Slaughter is too powerful. You must be extremely careful!"
"Don't worry, I have absolute confidence!"
"Mhm! Go then!"
At this moment, she was no longer the aloof and dignified Sect Master. She was just a girl enjoying warmth. As her love tribulation had not yet passed,
she was still not her normal self, transforming into a shy girl and planting a kiss on Yun Fan's cheek.
Yun Fan left, feeling content. He had originally intended to "punish" Qing Ming further, but given her current state, he decided to let her off.
He wondered if Qing Ming would ever return to her previous self. Regardless, he preferred Qing Ming in her current state.
Unexpectedly, this scene was secretly recorded on video by someone.
They were Wang You and Ling Long, who had come to the mortal world. Since the last incident, the two women had harbored deep suspicions.
Coupled with Qing Ming's recent departure, their suspicions grew, and they secretly sneaked out of the Sealed Land.
Their easy escape was due to the fact that three of the Seven Sages of Sealed Land had already been dealt with by Yun Fan, making the seal on the Sealed Land very weak.
At this moment, Ling Long was drinking coffee at a cafe.
Wang You walked over with a stern face.
"Any new discoveries?"
Ling Long asked Wang You.
"See for yourself!"
Saying this, Wang You pushed her phone in front of Ling Long.
Ling Long tapped to play the video. The coffee she had just brought to her lips sprayed out.
This scene completely shattered her worldview. She couldn't believe her aloof Senior Aunt was capable of such actions.
She was extremely unsettled. She hadn't expected that the person Yun Fan was meeting secretly was indeed Qing Ming.
At this, Wang You said angrily, "Master, what you did was too unseemly, stealing my man!"
Right now, she was the most upset and the most hurt. Earlier, her Master had even advised her not to give up on love.
Back then, she had thought her Master was so great, but now, her Master had joined the fray.
"No, I need to go ask Master why she did this!"
Wang You said indignantly.
She hadn't expected that in the blink of an eye, Master and disciple would become rivals.
But Ling Long stopped her.
"Don't be rash!"
"It's already like this, how can I not be rash?"
Wang You was on the verge of tears. She didn't understand how Ling Long could remain so calm at this point.
Ling Long said, "Senior Aunt is extremely powerful. If we confront her like this, what if she silences us?"
At this, Wang You's expression changed. If her Master, in a moment of desperation, truly silenced them, it would be a huge loss.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Wang You asked, huffing.
Ling Long said, "Since it's come to this, there's no need to alert her. We'll investigate why Senior Aunt did this while simultaneously reporting this matter to Master!"
"Alright, that's what we'll do!"
Afterward, the two women hastily returned to the Grand Supreme Dao Sect. They kept this matter quiet, believing that perhaps Qing Xuan could provide a perfect solution.
Otherwise, pretending ignorance would be impossible for them.
"Where have you two been?"
Qing Xuan said angrily, "In this chaotic world, you shouldn't be running around!"
She had originally intended to have an honest conversation with the two women, but unexpectedly, she couldn't find them.
The two women replied dejectedly, "We went to the mortal world and discovered an astonishing secret!"
"What secret?"
Qing Xuan asked, puzzled. It seemed she would have to rein in the two women. Rushing to the mortal world was too risky.
Ling Long said hesitantly, "Master, we can't speak about this matter."
"What's there to not speak about?"
Qing Xuan said, "Disciple, this is not like you. Tell your Master what you discovered?"
"Martial Aunt, you see for yourself!"
Saying this, Wang You directly handed her phone to Qing Xuan.
Qing Xuan took it and looked. Her scalp immediately tingled. She had wondered why she couldn't find her Senior Sister during these days she was trying to suppress her love tribulation.
She hadn't expected her Senior Sister to go to the mortal world for "illicit affairs." Judging by the situation, she had likely already captured Yun Fan.
They had agreed to face it together, but unexpectedly, her Senior Sister had taken the first step.
Alright! She could tolerate that. But she hadn't expected it to be discovered by her two disciples. How awkward was that?
"Martial Aunt, how could my Master do such a thing? How will I face her in the future?"
"Exactly, Master, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
The most troubled was actually Ling Long. The junior disciple was originally hers, and now Qing Ming had entered the picture, making her feel completely overwhelmed.
Ling Long said, "Although your Senior Aunt's actions were indeed somewhat unseemly, what if she had some hidden difficulties?"
Qing Xuan said, "Therefore, we shouldn't just look at the surface of things!"
"Ah! No way!"
The two women were stunned. They had expected Qing Xuan to condemn Qing Ming, but why was she speaking in Qing Ming's defense?
At this, Qing Xuan said, "We'll discuss this matter later. As for you two, you must not go to the mortal world privately anymore!"
Fine! They were simply dismissed. The two women couldn't believe this was happening.
After dismissing the two women, Qing Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. With her Senior Sister taking the lead, she wouldn't be blamed for being unseemly.
...
The mortal world.
Yun Fan had already followed the aura of the God of Slaughter to the place where the God of Slaughter had emerged.
It had to be said that the God of Slaughter was too arrogant. Even while in seclusion, he hadn't concealed his aura. Perhaps, in the God of Slaughter's eyes, he was already invincible in the mortal world.
He hadn't expected Yun Fan to come looking for him.
"God of Slaughter, I've arrived!"
Yun Fan said, "I wasn't your match last time. This time, I will challenge you again!"
Seeing this, the God of Slaughter emerged from seclusion. "Kid, if I were you, I'd hide instead of coming here to die!"
At the same time, he observed Yun Fan, noticing that his strength had increased.
No wonder he dared to come and challenge him.
Yun Fan said, "Good and evil have always been irreconcilable. Since we are enemies in this chaotic world, one of us must fall!"
"Such arrogance! You and I are both demons. How dare you claim to be righteous? Ridiculous!"
The God of Slaughter looked at Yun Fan with disdain.
"That's different!"
Yun Fan said, "Although my physique is that of a demonic body, I have not harmed the common people. Instead, I have saved them. Therefore, I dare to call myself righteous!"
"Very good!"
The God of Slaughter said, "In this era, I was originally invincible, but you, a troublesome kid, have obstructed me time and again. Today, I will resolve you completely!"
"Attack!"
Yun Fan had nothing more to say. Regardless, a battle between him and the God of Slaughter was inevitable. Thus, at this moment, fists were the best form of expression.
"It seems you haven't understood your situation. Do you really think that by using some trick to raise your strength to the Half-Step Minor Completion stage, you can compare with me?"
The God of Slaughter sneered, "My strength is a peak you can never reach in your lifetime!"
Instantly, he decisively attacked, charging towards Yun Fan. It had to be said, he was powerful, on a completely different level from Tian Chan.
"Slash!"
Yun Fan attacked, a wave of power aimed at the God of Slaughter.
"Boom!"
The area instantly erupted in light. The clash between the two was vividly displayed at this moment.
Although it was only one move, the God of Slaughter saw the clue: Yun Fan's strength was actually no weaker than his.
At this moment, Yun Fan launched a decisive attack, giving the God of Slaughter no chance to breathe. Each move was at its peak.
"You are too arrogant!"
The God of Slaughter countered. The two forces were evenly matched, but after the ultimate killer moves, Yun Fan began to show signs of fatigue.
Conversely, the God of Slaughter showed no weakness, his battle power unparalleled. Unlike Yun Fan, he had millions of souls to replenish him.
No matter what injuries he sustained, he could recover in a short period. This was the invincibility of the God of Slaughter.
With such terrifying battle prowess, who could withstand him?
The moment his Soul Array descended, Yun Fan was enveloped by millions of souls, and they began to tear at his body.
Yun Fan quickly circulated his water and fire powers to resist, but while resisting the souls, he was ambushed by the God of Slaughter with a sword.
He sustained a grievous wound.
"Pfft!"
Yun Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, looking warily at the God of Slaughter.
The God of Slaughter's strength was too immense. If he didn't find a way to break through the million souls, he would likely be worn down to exhaustion by these souls.
Then, he would fall victim to the God of Slaughter's ambush.
Seeing these clues, Yun Fan thought of the Imperial Seal. The God of Slaughter had been severely injured by the Imperial Seal when he attacked the Sealed Land that day.
Even someone as weak as Tian Chan, with the aid of the Imperial Seal, could fight the God of Slaughter to a mutual injury. There was no reason for him to be weaker than the God of Slaughter.
The moment he saw the Imperial Seal, the God of Slaughter's expression changed. He hadn't expected this supreme treasure to have fallen into Yun Fan's hands.
But his apprehension quickly vanished, and he launched another attack on Yun Fan.
Yun Fan was stunned. With the Imperial Seal, he had expected the God of Slaughter to avoid itsιθ, but unexpectedly, he was even more ferocious than before.
The next moment, he placed the Imperial Seal in front of him to block the God of Slaughter's killing sword.
However, the killing sword bypassed the seal and inflicted a wound on him.
"Hmmph!"
Yun Fan let out a muffled groan, looking warily at the God of Slaughter. At the same time, he complained inwardly.
Why was the Imperial Seal useless in his hands? This was too abnormal!
The God of Slaughter sneered, "Our strength is not far apart. I can slowly wear you down using my methods. Do you think you can fight me with the Imperial Seal? You underestimate me too much!"
