She found it truly hard to accept. Especially since even Zhu Yuyan's disciple Shangshang had advanced to become a Great Grandmaster! What is this? Are Great Grandmasters as common as bok choy now?

"Fan Qinghui, aren't you shocked, incredulous even!"

Zhu Yuyan emerged from her palanquin, the Heavenly Demon Field surging around her. With each step she took through the void towards Fan Qinghui, the onlookers watched, dumbfounded.

Is this still a martial artist?

Seeing Fan Qinghui's shock brought Zhu Yuyan a sense of elation she had never felt before.

From the moment she started her journey, she had been competing with Fan Qinghui.

Even as they both became Sect Leaders and temple masters of their respective sects, their rivalry remained unresolved.

After Shi Zhixuan the Evil King fell into depravity and the Demon Sect's power waned, she led the Yin Gui Sect to rise, shouldering the great banner of the Demon Sect and earning the title Empress Yin.

Of course, Fan Qinghui was no less exceptional. Shi Zhixuan had fallen because Fan Qinghui had used a honey trap against him.

However, the executor of this ploy was her junior sister, Bi Xiuxin.

It caused Shi Zhixuan's spirit to shatter, his personality to split, and his power to diminish.

That wasn't all. Fan Qinghui was also quite adept at leveraging her status, forming alliances, and fostering relations with major powers, thereby expanding the influence of both Cihang Temple and herself.

She even used her charms personally; renowned experts like Heavenly Blade Song Que were among her admirers and suitors.

She used these men, securing untold benefits and advantages for Cihang Temple and the Buddhism Gate.

But she was far more formidable than her junior sister Bi Xiuxin.

Her use of feminine charm was indeed impeccable.

None of her suitors had even touched a hair on her head. Yet, they willingly did her bidding, seeing her as the perfect Immortal, the perfect goddess in their hearts.

While Bi Xiuxin did ensnare Shi Zhixuan, she herself also fell, not only bearing Shi Zhixuan a daughter but also losing her own life. This truly showed how skillful Fan Qinghui's tactics were.

However, no matter how clever Fan Qinghui's tactics were, Zhu Yuyan was not fooled by her.

An Immortal? she scoffed internally. In my eyes, Fan Qinghui is merely a whore, flawlessly packaged.

"Zhu Yuyan, the sudden emergence of so many Great Grandmasters in your Yin Gui Sect, could it be related to your devotion to the God of Hongmeng?"

Fan Qinghui pondered over the recent anomalies within the Yin Gui Sect; only the God of Hongmeng seemed a possible explanation.

But do gods truly exist in this world?

"Indeed!"

Zhu Yuyan nodded affirmatively, her voice devout and fervent as she declared, "Our god is the supreme and Immortal True God!"

"Under the blessing of our god, the entire Yin Gui Sect has undergone a massive transformation! Everyone's cultivation level has soared!"

As Zhu Yuyan's words fell, everyone was stunned.

"Are there truly gods?"

"Did Zhu Yuyan only break through in cultivation because of a Divine Spirit's blessing?"

"And the other disciples and Elders of the Yin Gui Sect—did their cultivation levels also skyrocket due to a Divine Spirit's blessing?"

Shi Zhixuan's pupils constricted. He didn't believe in the existence of gods. But the circumstances of the Yin Gui Sect could not be explained without invoking a deity. Apart from a god, who else could create so many Great Grandmasters all at once?

"Fan Qinghui, surrender yourself!" Zhu Yuyan walked up to her, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Don't worry," she continued, "I won't kill you. In fact, I'll give you an opportunity of a lifetime!"

"An opportunity that will allow both you and your disciple to become Immortals, become gods, ascend to God's kingdom, and serve our god!"

"How arrogant!"

Ning Daqi stepped forward. He was a Daoist with a tall hat and wide sash, sporting five wisps of a long beard. His features were ancient and unadorned, and he was dressed in a thick brocade robe.

His already tall stature appeared even loftier, giving him the air of a noble recluse, detached and ethereal.

He looked at Zhu Yuyan and said in a grave voice, "This humble Daoist would like to see what skills you, the so-called Empress Yin blessed by a Divine Spirit, truly possess!"
