Chen Jie unleashed the first palm of the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, overpowering Du Xiong's incomplete Vajra Body and sending him crashing through multiple trees. The Giant Wood Five Bears and Sharp Gold Flag members watched in stunned disbelief at the display of superior power. Han Ling’er recognized the technique, pressed Liu Caidie for Chen Jie's true identity, and felt a growing familiarity with his straightened posture, leading to a sudden realization.

"Chen, Chen Jiusi?"

Han Ling’er hesitantly spoke out the name.

Hmm?

Liu Caidie froze upon catching Han Ling’er’s words, staring at her in astonishment: "You, you know him!"

"It’s truly him!"

Han Ling’er felt deeply stunned, for the last time she’d laid eyes on Chen Jiusi, he was just a Wolf Smoke Realm cultivator, utterly helpless against Elder Quan and tossed into a deep abyss. She recalled aiding him in secret during that moment.

After that encounter, they hadn’t crossed paths again, and Han Ling’er had picked up the later tales only from Jianghu whispers. Rumors claimed he headed to the Five Poison Sect and slew Elder Quan right there.

Next, during the Treasure Book Glory Conference in Longxing Prefecture, he triumphed over Zhu Yuanzhang from the Haozhou Branch of the Zoroastrian Sect, claiming victory in the event.

Following that was his expedition to Wushan, where legend has it he tangled with the third Earthly Immortal, Confucian Saint Feng Xuewen, forging an epic tale.

Reflecting on these feats, Han Ling’er found it hard to believe, since in mere years, Chen Jiusi’s cultivation had skyrocketed. Despite the Holy Sect’s support, she’d merely hit the Peak of Dragon Realm, still short of stepping into the Molten Furnace Realm.

Yet whispers placed Chen Jiusi in the Middle Molten Furnace Realm already, and with him now rescuing her, Han Ling’er’s heart swirled with complex feelings, leaving her at a loss for words.

Liu Caidie saw right through Han Ling’er’s mind and grinned: "See? My plan was spot on. Just with you and brother Lin’er’s forces, we couldn’t even take down Du Xiong."

"Much less confront Du Zundao."

Han Ling’er fell quiet briefly after these words, then pressed on: "Why keep it from me before?"

Liu Caidie shot back: "No other option! Chen Jiusi’s got enemies everywhere. If he appeared openly at Bright Peak, Han Miaozhen and the rest would spot him instantly. How then could he serve as our hidden ace, striking from the shadows now?"

Han Ling’er agreed with Liu Caidie’s reasoning by nodding. For sure, Chen Jiusi sneaking in disguised was the securest approach to Bright Peak, or else Han Miaozhen’s crew spotting him would trigger a massive assault—even with three heads and six arms, he couldn’t escape alive.

Grasping the full picture, Han Ling’er turned to Liu Caidie and asked: "Chen Jiusi doesn’t work for nothing. He’s promised to aid our Ruins delve and hazard grabbing the Qiankun Great Method, so conditions must come with it. Spill—what are they?"

Liu Caidie thought it over briefly before answering: "It’s straightforward, really. He demands to master the Qiankun Great Method first."

"What!"

Han Ling’er’s eyes bulged wide at this, shock etched across her face.

Noticing her reaction, Liu Caidie snapped impatiently: "What’s the issue? Nothing comes free in this world. Expecting aid without cost? Impossible!"

Han Ling’er took it in and eyed Liu Caidie: "But, but we can’t hand over the Qiankun Great Method like that; it’s the Holy Sect’s supreme divine art."

Liu Caidie scoffed at her words: "Ling’er, quit fooling yourself. The Qiankun Great Method guards our Zoroastrian Sect, but is it yours right now? Or Ming King’s?"

"I brought Chen Jiusi in with this deal: once we secure the Qiankun Great Method, he cultivates it and passes the original to brother Lin’er. After brother Lin’er masters it, he becomes the true Ming King, and Chen Jiusi won’t challenge him for the throne. Where’s the flaw in that?"

"If you refuse, I’ll scrap the agreement with Chen Jiusi this instant and watch if anyone else grabs the Qiankun Great Method for Ming King!"

Frustration clouded Liu Caidie’s features. This Han sister appeared sharp as ever, but now she played the fool. Without dangling bait, who’d dive into this chaos? Folks stake their necks to snag the Qiankun Great Method for you, yet you trot out sect taboos.

Sect rules bar outsiders from learning it, but you’re blocked too. Keep this up, and those rules could bind Ming King’s side. Should Du Zundao seize the Qiankun Great Method and crown himself, the Han siblings would bow without fight.

Then sect rules vanish from your lips, right? Pure mule-headed folly, pointless obstinacy, downright idiotic and ridiculously absurd!

Liu Caidie hurled every harsh label at the Han sisters, for their bullheadedness knew no bounds—utterly comical.

Han Ling’er saw her earlier remark sounded silly, blushing as she said: "Caidie, why flare up so fast? I only wondered about other rewards for Chen Jiusi, as the Qiankun Great Method is just too..."

Liu Caidie responded: "Other rewards? Say, the Melt God Pill—would you part with that?"

Han Ling’er’s eyes flew open in alarm: "Melt God Pill? That’s way over the line."

The Melt God Pill stands as the Zoroastrian Sect’s vital treasure, a prized rarity countless crave. For a thousand years the sect endured, rooted in crafting this supreme pill for the Melt God Realm path.

As the ultimate Breakthrough Pill, the Melt God Pill empowers Molten Furnace Realm masters to break into the fabled Melt God Realm.

This pill crowns the Zoroastrian Sect’s treasures, held solely by Ming King in the sect’s Ming King Temple, locked by the mightiest defenses—unbreachable without the Qiankun Great Method.
