As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned cold, and a murderous aura emerged from the blindfolded woman's body and she faced Feng Yi directly.

Pei Yun took the initiative to speak to ease the atmosphere: "Senior from the Wu Clan, I really need the Illusion Grass and want to help you. But as you said, if your people were abducted by the Dragon Clan, I am a human with low cultivation and little background, so I am afraid I can't help you..."

"You can help me." The woman's voice was cold and firm, "The destined person will bring a turnaround for my witch clan. I have been waiting for you here for thirty-two years."

"Why are you so sure that Pei Yun is the destined one?" Luo Rufeng glanced at her indifferently.

"The art of divination and the visions of the star map. Only those who are destined to be with my witch clan can come before me."

"Then this seat and Luo Rufeng have also come in! Why must it be Pei Yun? Aren't this seat and Luo Rufeng also destined to be together in your Wu clan?" Feng Yi asked curiously.

"You two didn't see the vision on the star map. If she hadn't brought you in, you wouldn't have found this place." The woman had already seen the situation outside while in the barrier.

Seeing Pei Yun lowering his eyes and remaining silent, as if hesitating, the woman's fingers under her sleeves slightly bent and clenched into fists, but her face remained calm and composed, and her tone was even:

"...You can refuse me, but with the strength of the three of you, if you want to take the Illusion Grass and leave safely, I can't stop you."

"Pei Yun, even without the False Grass, I can recover my memory. Don't get trapped in your own obsessions, and don't go against your own heart." Luo Rufeng looked at Pei Yun with trust.

"Your Excellency, we have come this far... I still want to give it a try."

Pei Yun's expression was very calm, and it was obvious that she had thought it over carefully. She turned to the blindfolded woman and said, "I can agree to your request. As long as your Wu tribe is truly innocent and was harmed by the Dragon tribe, I will do my best to rescue your people."

The woman's tightly pursed lips relaxed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She stood up and said crisply, "Come on, I'll take you to the medicine garden. You can pick all the spiritual flowers and herbs in the medicine garden."

Pei Yun and the other two followed the woman to the medicine garden again. Since the woman agreed to give her all the flowers and plants in the medicine garden, she naturally would not be polite and asked Luo Rufeng and Feng Yi to help her pick them.

"Wait a minute, you are the only one who can pick the illusory grass." The woman stopped Luo Rufeng and Feng Yi from going forward.

"Why? Is this illusory grass poisonous?" Feng Yi asked in surprise.

"The illusion grass is not poisonous. It's just that if you get too close to it, you'll have hallucinations and enter an illusion..."

The woman did not lie, "Only by breaking through the realm of illusion can you successfully pick the illusion grass. If you can't break through, the spiritual grass will wither and die in an instant."

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned. Luo Rufeng's expression froze. He looked at the woman and frowned, saying, "Then why did Pei Yun have to pick it? I can pick it. This illusion herb is to help me restore my memory."

"Because this is a test for the destined person." The woman turned to Pei Yun, "Only if you successfully pick the illusory grass, our transaction will begin."

After hearing what the woman said, Pei Yun was not displeased, but instead became a little interested. In the books she had read in the world of cultivation, there were not many descriptions of the illusory grass, and she only just learned about the existence of the "realm of illusory".

"Don't worry, Your Excellency. I'll be there."

Pei Yun said as he took the small spiritual hoe to the spiritual field where the illusion grass was planted. The moment he touched the illusion grass with his hand, just as the woman said, the surrounding environment instantly became blurred. Pei Yun subconsciously closed his eyes, and the next moment -

"Yun'er!" Luo Rufeng, who was covered in blood, hugged her excitedly. Pei Yun had never seen Luo Rufeng's emotions fluctuate so much before. "You defeated Ye Ming and the demons. We finally won this battle between Taoism and demons!"

"Junior Sister Pei, oh no! Venerable Pei Yun, you are so awesome!" Luo Qi and Lu Yu also dragged their scarred bodies and happily came to Pei Yun's side.

"Pei Yun, you have surpassed me and are even on par with my master Qin Meng." Qin Gu's figure also appeared in front of Pei Yun.

"Venerable Pei Yun killed the Night Demon Lord with his own strength. This strength is undoubtedly the strongest in the world!"

"Greetings to the Venerable Pei Yun!"

"Venerable Pei Yun is the savior of my Haoyu Continent..."

"From now on, the humans and monsters of Haoyu Continent should respect Master Pei Yun as their master!"

"Everyone should respect Master Pei Yun as the master!"

Pei Yun looked around, and all the surviving humans and monsters on the battlefield knelt down and saluted Pei Yun...

A few months later, Pei Yun sat in the seat originally occupied by the leader of the Yunshan Sect, looking down at the crowd and the group of monsters who came to congratulate him.

The leaders and elders of the ten major sects in Dongcangzhou came in person to congratulate her. The leaders of the dragon, phoenix, white fox, and other tribes in the demon world also showed up. There was an endless stream of people from the human and demon tribes coming and going in the hall, all to attend her and Luo Rufeng's wedding...

After the wedding, Master Mu of the Yunshan Sect said to Pei Yun: "Your Excellency, you are now the savior of the entire Haoyu Continent. You should not just stay in charge of the small Yunshan Sect. Think about why the sects of Dongcangzhou looked down on the cultivators of Beiqizhou. You should lead us to occupy better territory and obtain better resources!"

"…Is this what it means when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit?" Pei Yun looked down at his palm, then gently turned it over, a desire called "power" quietly rising in his heart.

Three years later, Pei Yun moved the Yunshan Sect to the place with the richest spiritual energy in Dongcangzhou, and for this purpose he also seized two spiritual veins from the Jijian Sect and the Lingyao Sect.

The Yunshan Sect grew rapidly. Although the sect's foundation was shallow, Pei Yun's reputation as a savior still attracted many potential disciples to join the Yunshan Sect.

Looking down at these new disciples who looked up to her, Pei Yun's vanity and sense of satisfaction were greatly enhanced, and a desire for control surged in her heart.

"Master, our Yunshan Sect has expanded rapidly, but the resources cannot keep up. There is a saying in the mortal world that things change over time. With your support, our Yunshan Sect will be the rising star of the future. The ten major sects have taken up so many resources relying on their previous prestige. It's time for them to give up..."

"Master, the ten great sects can only be allocated so many resources by controlling the Divine Temple. Your current strength is the best in the world. You are worthy of the title of Master of this Divine Temple."

Ten years later, Pei Yun stood at the highest point of the main temple. She overlooked the bustling flow of people below the temple. Each of them was holding gifts and waiting to be registered. These gifts were all to celebrate her birthday one month later.

She walked in the temple. Wherever she went, everyone bowed to her respectfully, even Qin Gu was no exception. Her face changed from being uncomfortable at first to gradually getting used to it. Now she was enjoying the respect from others...

This is the charm of power! She finally understood why those powerful monks were so obsessed with power!

After the birthday banquet, Pei Yun came to the hall which was piled with gifts and looked at them casually. With her current status and identity, as long as she wanted any treasure in the world, someone would immediately deliver it to her, so she did not value these gifts.

At some point, Luo Rufeng appeared in front of her. His expression was as calm as ever. He casually took out a jade box, opened it, and asked Pei Yun, "Do you know what this is?"

Pei Yun took a quick glance and didn't see anything special about it, so he said generously: "If you like it, I'll give it to you..."

"This is the Soul Realm Stone, or I call it the Demon Realm Stone!" Luo Rufeng raised his eyes and stared at her seriously.

"...What are you talking about?!" Pei Yun glanced at the red crystal in the jade box with disdain, and a hint of pride appeared on his face, "The demons have been wiped out by me, how could there be a demon world stone!"

"You have wiped out the demons, but you yourself have become a demon."

"Luo Rufeng, what do you mean?!" The aura of a superior that Pei Yun had cultivated over the years unconsciously revealed at this moment.

"The person who presented this Soul Realm Stone slaughtered the people of an entire city to make this thing in order to please you. How is this different from the Demon Realm Stone?"

"What?!" Pei Yun's smile had completely disappeared. She picked up the "Soul Realm Stone" and looked at it.

"Do you still remember why you became a monk?"

“…protecting the common people, seeking the ultimate truth, and seeking immortality.”

"Remember the other world we visited? There's a saying there that says a dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon, and so will you."

As these words that sounded the alarm echoed in his ears, Pei Yun, who was in a daze, seemed to be completely awakened.

She looked at the disappearing "Luo Rufeng", the gradually collapsing surroundings, and finally at the "Demon Realm Stone" in her hand. Past scenes emerged in her mind. She had taken the Demon Realm Stone from the demons time and time again without fear of danger, but now...

"The realm of illusion... is indeed an illusion!"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Yun completely broke through the realm of illusion. She opened her eyes and saw the illusion grass right in front of her, looking full of vitality.

"Pei Yun, are you okay?" Luo Rufeng asked.

"Is the realm of illusion fun?" Feng Yi asked.

A trace of surprise flashed across the eyes of the blindfolded woman, and for the first time she showed an obvious smile: "I didn't expect you to break through the realm of illusion so quickly. You are indeed the one who brought a turning point to our clan."
