*Crackle!*
*Splash!*
Lightning rumbled as the downpour became even more heavy, the dark clouds casting a shadow on the face of the middle aged man floating in front of Zhu Dong and Xia Yunqi.
Xia Xingfan, the Gooden Core Realm Sect Master of Spirit Essence Sect!
His eyes flashed with a cold look of disappointment as he looked at his daughter, sighing softly.
"I gave you love, care, everything you ever asked for, then why?" He said, his voice crashing done on Xia Yunqi like thunder.
"F-father...I-I..."
"Answer me."
At this moment, Zhu Dong, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, "Old fool, don’t you see that your daughter loves me with all her heart? Then why do you insist on marrying her off to that jerk of a young master of some shitty Void Refinement Realm force?"
"You dare talk back to me like this!? Arrogant fool!" Xia Xingfan immediately increased his pressure, hoping to force Zhu Dong into submission and make him admit his mistakes before beheading him.
Zhu Dong, on the other hand, instantly took out another Talisman from his sleeves and threw it towards him.
Another Heavenly Eruption Talisman?
Thinking of it as another Heavenly Eruption Talisman, Xia Xingfan was about to destroy it before it could be activated, however, his vision was blurred by a streak of light as the Talisman activated.
Just a moment later, the light finally disappeared and his vision came back, making him extremely angry.
That brat!
His eyes landed on the place where Zhu Dong was standing with Xia Yunqi in his arms, but it was completely empty now, with no signs of them being there.
"Where did he...argh...ZHU DONG! DON’T LET ME CATCH YOU!" He shouted angrily, his voice echoing throughout the entire valley as the downpour continued.
Meanwhile, almost at the border of the Chengdu Region.
Both Zhu Dong and Xia Yunqi appeared out of nowhere, finally catching a breath.
"Haah.." Zhu Dong heaved a sigh of relief, looking over to check Xia Yunqi.
"Are you alright? Let’s rest here for a bit now and recover." He said, putting her down slowly as he got caught in the warm embrace of the setting sun, a rainbow glowing above him as his eyes landed on the unconscious figure of Xia Yunqi.
"Ah...I guess the teleportation was too much for her to bear. She should be conscious in a few hours." He muttered.
Now...I’ve used up all those Talismans that Tang Mei gave me..I need to act discreetly for now. I’ll kill those guys after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.
...
At the same time, on the other side of the Southern Continent.
In a huge flying ship covered by dozens of Illusion Array Formations, at the innermost part of the flying ship, a young man looking to be in his twenties was laying down leisurely, without a single care in the world.
He raised his hand as a gourd of wine appeared in his hands.

"This Spirit Transcension Wine is truly something." He told himself before opening the gourd and drinking the Spirit Transcension Wine.
It was none other than Ye Ling!
"System, the Spirit Points you gave me as a newbie gift package have already all been used to upgrade my cultivation all the way up to the Foundation Establishment Realm since these last thirty years. I need more Spirit Points to advance now. When is the first mission you talked about being issued?" He groaned, his unsatisfactory voice filled with displeasure.
[Host, you are far too much dependent on the Spirit Points to upgrade your cultivation. You need to truly understand the essence of cultivation before breaking through, otherwise, your foundation will be very unstable.]
"Then what should I even use Spirit Points for except buying different items that are of no use to me? Not to mention, cultivation really isn’t for me! I can’t focus at all." He retorted, looking out through his Divine Sense to see if he could find anything interesting.
This conversation had already happened between Ye Ling and the Heavenly Devil System many times before, with Ye Ling always winning the argument in the end.
[Alright then, host. A chain mission has been triggered. Here’s your first mission belonging to this chain mission: At this moment, approximately in a range of around a thousand miles, a very beautiful Qi Condensation Realm female cultivator has been hit with an aphrodisiac by the grandson of her sect’s First Elder. She has escaped his sight and hid in a cave. Your goal is to make her fall for you.]
"Whoa...such an awesome first mission! And if everything goes well..haha. Let’s not think too much about it. Now tell me the rewards for completing the mission and the punishment for failing it." Ye Ling grinned with a perverse expression on his face.
In the newbie gift package, I received 500 Spirit Points, a Innate Talent called the Mark of the Heavenly Devil, and a Bloodline called the Malevolent Cardinal Bloodline.
I only needed 10 Spirit Points to breakthrough to the Second Stage of Qi Condensation Realm, 20 points to breakthrough to the Third Stage, and so on, at last, I needed 90 points to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm. It all left me with only 50 Spirit Points, and now, I need a hundred of them to breakthrough to the Second Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm.
I kinda understand how this system works now. I must get those points first.
[Rewards for completing the first mission of the chain mission:
30 Spirit Points.
Punishment for failing the mission: The chain mission will be broken and the host has to wait for a while again before another appears.]
"Only 30 Spirit Points? At least give me 50 so I can breakthrough!" He said with a disappointed look on his face.
[Host, this is only the first mission of the chain mission. Spirit Point allocations will naturally increase as you complete more missions and your cultivation level increases.]
"Haa...alright!"
Saying this, he immediately went out of his room and headed towards the nearest person guarding his room.
"Huh? Saint, is there something you need?"
"Do you see that mountain range over there? I want to go there." Ye Ling said, pointing at the mountain range mentioned in his system mission where the female cultivator is hiding.
"But what if somebody spots you or-"
"Hey, are my words not enough? Or are you denying my authority as the Demon Saint here?" The atmosphere instantly became suppressive as Ye Ling released his aura.
The person guarding his room was a Tribulation Transcendence Realm demonic cultivator, but even he felt a bit afraid and took a few steps back from Ye Ling. Not because he was scared of the aura he was emanating, he could shatter it in an instant.
But he was afraid that the one he was facing was none other than the Demon Saint, one of the highest authorities among the entire Demon Race and the demonic cultivators.
He could get him killed in a moment if he wanted to.
Not wanting to take any risks, the demonic cultivator nodded quietly and went to told all the high ranking experts on the flying ship about Ye Ling’s command.
As expected, none of them objected to it.
If it’s something that has piqued the Demon Saint’s interest, then it’s definitely worth our time.
With this, they all arrived above the mountain range.
Ye Ling didn’t think twice before jumping off the ship. And soon, he successfully circulated his Spiritual Energy to land safely, directly in front of the cave where the female cultivator was at which he could sense through his Divine Sense.
All the experts watching from above couldn’t help but be astonished.
"He’s only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and yet is able to fly already."
"He is the Demon Saint, after all. You can’t doubt his skills."
"He was born with the Providence of the Demon Saint, truly."
They praised one after another.
Back to Ye Ling’s side.
He quietly entered the cave, trying not to alert the female cultivator inside.
Inside of the cave.
The figure of a woman could be seen sitting in a lotus position, continously circulating her Spiritual Energy to recover.
Damn it...I thought he was a kind senior brother trying to help me, but he turned out to be such a big pervert!
How could he use an aphrodisiac on me!?
She had an exceptionally beautiful face with a curvaceous figure.
Sweat dripped down her forehead as she tried to get rid of the aphrodisiac from her body.
At this time, she suddenly felt someone approaching.
She immediately opened her eyes and stood up, taking on a defensive stance and pointing her sword towards the direction of the presence.
*Boom!*
A loud sound was heard as a figure was sent flying from the entrance of the cave to right in front of the female cultivator.
She was shocked to see this scene, but quickly regained her composure when she saw the person who had been knocked out infront of her.
"Qiao Fan!?" She couldn’t help but yell out.
It was the senior brother who had driven her to this state!
Then, another person walked in from the direction Qiao Fan was sent flying from.
Who is that person? I don’t know him at all!
It was Ye Ling!
