Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 467: Is this ghost for real?

“But…” Elder Ming hesitated.

If the cauldron lid were closed, His Highness would be left alone with this Nascent Soul Realm half demon.

“Stop hesitating! If the blood energy in the cauldron completely evaporates, don’t blame me if he ends up with a severe blood deficiency.”

Yue Shuying appeared to be doing her best to suppress the spiritual liquid, but in reality, the so-called evaporation of the liquid was entirely her doing.

The sudden turn of events left You Yao and Elder Ming unprepared, leaving them in a dilemma.

At the Foundation Establishment Realm, Jun Wuxie was no match for them and could be subdued with ease.

However, his constant beating and stirring of the spiritual fluid caused the liquid and blood energy to evaporate, which was a significant problem.

You Yao’s eyes flashed with cold light as she said sharply, “Elder Ming, knock him out!”

“This… Your Highness, forgive me!”

Elder Ming gritted his teeth and delivered a solid punch to Jun Wuxie’s head.

Jun Wuxie’s eyes rolled back and he relaxed, muttering, “Finally…”

But with Yue Shuying around, fainting was harder than dying.

The next second, Jun Wuxie was jolted awake by excruciating pain and began to struggle again.

Thinking that he hadn’t used enough force, Elder Ming struck again with more power.

But no matter how many punches he threw, Jun Wuxie only saw stars and refused to pass out.

“Old Ming, are you trying to… kill me? Ouch…”

Before Jun Wuxie could finish his sentence, he was hit again, letting out a yelp.

“Damn you…”

With his pain sensitivity amplified a hundredfold, he felt like he was being beaten to death.

He suspected that Elder Ming wanted to kill him, but he had no proof.

“Stop fooling around! The medicinal energy is almost gone!”

“I promise he’ll be fine. Do you think I’d kill him?”

Yue Shuying’s voice filled with urgency echoed from the spiritual liquid of the cauldron, sounding desperate.

“Just hold on a little longer, he’ll calm down. No one is going to die, I assure you.”

Elder Ming was at his wit’s end and looked at You Yao helplessly, waiting for her decision.

You Yao, unable to stop the spread of the manipulated spiritual fluid, had no choice but to give in.

“Little demon, if anything happens to him, I’ll wipe out your entire clan!”

“I know, just close the lid!” Yue Shuying snapped angrily.

The Heavenly Leech Demon Clan had already been wiped out, so she wasn’t afraid.

At most, she had a scumbag father left.

If he died, she’d be overjoyed.

Seeing You Yao about to close the lid, Jun Wuxie struggled like his life depended on it.

“You Yao, you bitch! Let me out, or I’ll have my way with you, kill you, and do it all over again!”

You Yao, who had been hesitating, immediately lost all expression and pushed Jun Wuxie back into the spiritual liquid.

With a crack, two of Jun Wuxie’s bones broke as he was forced underwater, still cursing and bubbling.

“Damn you, let me… gurgle… out… I’ll wipe out your entire clan!”

You Yao let go and slammed the cauldron lid shut.

With a loud duang, Jun Wuxie, who had tried to escape, was smashed back inside.

Inside the White Jade Cauldron, Jun Wuxie was dazed and bleeding from the impact of the lid.

There was definitely a hint of personal vendetta in You Yao’s forceful closing.

Jun Wuxie punched the lid and roared, “You Yao, you bitch! Let me out! I quit!”

But as he continued to pound, he realized that something was off – why didn’t it hurt as much?

Without Shangguan Qiong’s illusion interfering, his pain sensitivity returned to normal, and the pain quickly subsided.

Although the pain was still excruciating, it was nothing compared to what he had just experienced.

Before Jun Wuxie could feel relieved, he heard a series of opening and closing sounds.

The White Jade Cauldron seemed to be opening.

He realized that the vibrations weren’t coming from above, but from below.

Jun Wuxie looked down and was immediately startled.

Through the bloody water, he could vaguely see a person curled up in a strange posture at the bottom.

The figure slowly floated upward, its body twisting unnaturally as if it was stretching out.

What made Jun Wuxie’s scalp tingle the most was the face that gradually emerged – it was identical to his own.

The figure’s eyes were icy cold, and its face wore an eerie smile.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie couldn’t tell if this was reality or an illusion. He only felt a chill run down his spine.

What the hell is this? Am I seeing a ghost?

Ignoring the pain in his body, he cried out in terror, “What the hell is that?”

The figure slowly stretched its body, flexed its limbs, and looked at him coldly.

“You don’t need to know. All you need to know is that from now on, I am Jun Wuxie!”

Jun Wuxie stared at the face that was identical to his own and listened to the voice that sounded eerily similar to his own. His mind went blank.

He didn’t care if the other was a human or a ghost. With a roar, he swung his fist at Lin Fengmian.

“You fake! I am Jun Wuxie!”

His punch carried a powerful surge of blood energy that even surprised Lin Fengmian.

Even though most of his blood energy had been drained, Jun Wuxie was still far stronger than any Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator Lin Fengmian had ever encountered.

This so-called waste of a prince was actually incredibly powerful!

Jun Wuxie was definitely not what he seemed to be!

Yue Shuying revealed her true form, ready to help subdue Jun Wuxie.

But Lin Fengmian said firmly, “Leave him to me!”

He swung his fist back, slamming it hard into Jun Wuxie, wanting to test the prince’s strength.

If he didn’t, pretending to be a weakling later would be full of holes!

Lin Fengmian was completely speechless.

Shangguan Yuqiong had promised a foolproof plan, so why were there so many mistakes?

If it weren’t for him, this plan would have been dead in the water long ago.

Yue Shuying transformed back into an intangible stream of water, leaving the room to Lin Fengmian and Jun Wuxie.

Lin Fengmian and Jun Wuxie continued to fight inside the cauldron, causing the spiritual liquid to churn violently.

The two of them occasionally crashed into the walls of the cauldron, creating loud banging noises.

“You Yao! Elder Ming! Are you dead? Why aren’t you helping me?”

Jun Wuxie called for reinforcements as he fought Lin Fengmian.

But the White Jade Cauldron blocked all sounds. All that could be heard from the outside was the constant banging.

Elder Ming looked at the shaking Cauldron with concern.

“Fairy Shangguan, will His Highness be alright?”

Shangguan Qiong reassured him, “Don’t worry, the spirit refinement and blood exchange are very safe. Nothing will happen.”

“Even though the process is painful, His Highness will undergo marrow cleansing and tendon washing afterward. He’ll be like a brand new person.”

What she said was true – marrow cleansing and tendon washing would indeed change a person.

You Yao gave her a cold look and said sharply, “If anything happens to His Highness, neither you nor the Joyful Union Sect will escape responsibility.”

Shangguan Qiong lowered her head and meekly replied, “Understood.”

Her gaze lingered on the constantly shaking White Jade Cauldron, her heart filled with unease.

It seemed that Lin Fengmian wasn’t in a deep sleep and was currently dealing with Jun Wuxie?

The thought of the difference in cultivation realms between Lin Fengmian and Jun Wuxie gave her a headache.

Even though they could claim that Jun Wuxie’s realm had decreased due to the spirit refinement and blood condensation, You Yao and Elder Ming would definitely check Jun Wuxie’s physical condition. The truth would be revealed.

The state of his meridians and acupoints couldn’t be faked. Even if his realm dropped, his meridians and acupoints wouldn’t just close up again!

For now, she would deal with the immediate crisis and adapt as things unfolded.
