"Oh no, my Core Formation took three days and nights, and I didn't mention it to Sister Lan or the Deputy Chief beforehand. I'd better rush back to the Alchemist Mansion soon." Ye Lingyue felt delighted, but upon reflection, the Alchemist Mansion was undergoing a hectic period, and she had left without informing anyone, likely worrying everyone there terribly.

Ye Lingyue leaped into the air, swiftly heading towards Dan City.

As dusk approached within the Alchemist Mansion, Lan Cai'er and others were frantically worried.

These two days were the family visiting days at the Alchemist Mansion, and with most people away, the news of Ye Lingyue's unexplained disappearance had not spread.

Ye Lingyue had been missing for three days.

Lan Cai'er had only heard her mention about finding a place to break through to the Elixir Realm, but once she left, there was no news, and they had secretly searched the entire Dan City to no avail.

"Could the Master have been abducted by those Evil Alchemists?" Vice Manager Cui was extremely anxious.

"No, Ling Yue has always been cunning; a few Evil Methods would not be her match," Lan Cai'er shook her head.

Although she said so, she couldn't be sure in her heart. Usually, Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya would accompany Ye Lingyue when she went out, but this time, both little ones were still inside the Alchemist Mansion.

She feared that Ye Lingyue might have been captured inadvertently.

Just as Lan Cai'er felt gloomy, from above the Alchemist Mansion, there came a burst of loud laughter.

In the sky, several silhouettes flew swiftly from the west towards the east into the Alchemist Mansion.

In the air stood a male Taoist, stepping on a horsetail whisk, his face gaunt, lips white and eyes bloodshot, presenting a rather frightening appearance.

That male Taoist's cultivation was evidently profound, clearly a strong practitioner of the Great Primordial Dan Realm.

"Evil Alchemists!"

Lan Cai'er and Housekeeper Cui didn't expect that these Evil Alchemists would brazenly invade the Alchemist Mansion in broad daylight.

"Housekeeper Cui, call for reinforcements from the General Mansion."

Lan Cai'er knew that the defenses of the Alchemist Mansion were weak today, and since it wasn't far from the General Mansion, an urgent support could still make it in time.

"Hahaha."

That male Taoist was none other than Jin Wu Wanderer, whose hearing was excellent, and he had already caught Lan Cai'er's words.

A piercingly loud laugh burst forth, as if Lan Cai'er's words were the funniest thing in the world.

"Stop your pointless struggle. Who do you think allowed so many of us to enter Dan City?" The words of Jin Wu Wanderer caused Lan Cai'er and Housekeeper Cui's faces to change expressions.

The opponent had over a hundred Evil Alchemists, and with such a number entering the city, the General Mansion couldn't possibly be unaware.

Not to mention, if the General Mansion hadn't betrayed them, how could Jin Wu Wanderer possibly know about the weak defenses these two days at the Alchemist Mansion.

"Despicable," Lan Cai'er glared fiercely at Jin Wu Wanderer.

"My beauty, your root bone isn't bad. If you hand over that woman, I would accept you as my female disciple, engage in Dual Cultivation with me, and aid your cultivation to ascend a level," Jin Wu Wanderer glanced at Lan Cai'er, seeing her lips red and teeth white, her beauty incomparably breathtaking, and immediately lust flared in him.

Though he had not seen Ye Lingyue, he had heard that she was a mere toddler in her teens; the one before him, in her twenties, was definitely Ye Lingyue's elder sister, another Commandery Princess of Daxia.

Just the thought of taking this captivating Commandery Princess as his disciple made a lecherous smile appear on Jin Wu Wanderer's face.

Upon hearing this, Lan Cai'er trembled with anger.

Leaping into the air, Lan Cai'er's hand now held a fiery red whip.

A Mid Xuan-level Spiritual Treasure, this Red Snake Whip was a gift from Lan Yingwu to Lan Cai'er after her breakthrough in the Elixir Realm.

Mixed with Primordial Power, Lan Cai'er's wrist shuddered, and the whip danced in the air like a snake. With a swoosh, two Evil Alchemists from the Jin Wu Sect were torn in half by Lan Cai'er.

Who would have thought that the opponent was just a woman, yet her attacks were so fierce.

Jin Wu Wanderer chuckled coldly.

He held the horsetail whisk in his hand, which wrapped around Lan Cai'er's Spirit Whip like steel needles.

"Little beauty has quite the temper. It seems I really need to teach you a proper lesson." Jin Wu Wanderer flicked the horsetail whisk, and with a crack, a powerful force of Primordial Power burst forth.

With just one collision, Lan Cai'er was forced to retreat several steps.

The difference in strength was still too large.

Lan Cai'er used the back of her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.

She felt as if her internal organs were shattered, causing a burning pain.

Just then, Lan Cai'er looked towards the horizon, her face revealing a look of joy.

Jin Wu Wanderer sensed something amiss and turned his head.

As he turned back, he saw a cloud moving towards him.

Upon a closer look, that wasn't a shadow at all but a person.

"Blind your dog eyes, daring to cause trouble at the Alchemist Mansion." The woman shouted angrily, her body landing straight like a javelin, and an astonishing burst of spiritual power exploded from within her.

Nine flashes of light, like meteors piercing the sky, buzzed as they sung.

Inside the Alchemist Mansion, nine screams were heard, and the heads of nine disciples from the Jin Wu Sect burst into sprays of blood, dying instantly.

Looking forward, a young girl in white stood elegantly, appearing ethereal.

Lan Cai'er and Vice Manager Cui, as if they found their pillar of strength, suddenly felt more confident.

"Ling Yue (Sir)."

"So you are Ye Lingyue! You think, with just these few of you, you can stop the people from Jin Wu Sect?" Jin Wu Wanderer frowned, looking at the young girl before him with a calm expression, finding it hard to believe that she was behind the poisoning incident.

"A few people, are you sure?" Ye Lingyue spoke calmly, her lips curling slightly. Outside the Alchemist Mansion, two figures, like great birds spreading their wings, soared towards them.

"Haha, Princess Ye, we two brothers have come to join the fun."

The two brothers from the Treasure Cave of the He Family blocked the retreat of the Jin Wu Sect.

Reincarnation Realm, two experts of the Reincarnation Realm, and one of them was even a master of the Reincarnation Second Realm.

Now, the expression on the face of Jin Wu Wanderer turned ugly.

He was only at the Reincarnation First Path, and being sandwiched between two martial artists of the Reincarnation Realm, his chances of winning were zero.

Knowing he couldn't win, Jin Wu Wanderer didn't dare to linger.

He suddenly vanished, burrowing into the ground.

"This old rogue does have some skills, using the Reincarnation Soil Power quite well." Second Brother He's eyelids twitched, and he stomped hard with his recently fitted prosthetic limbs.

The ground rolled, and Ye Lingyue felt a tyrannical spiritual force breaking through the soil.

Following a series of screams, Jin Wu Wanderer seemed to be hit by something, his body curling up in pain, rolling into a ball, and shot out from the underground to the surface.
