C3 After Reaching the Back Mountain, She Absorbed the Spiritual Energy

Shen Yunqing instantly sensed the extraordinary depth of the man before her, his cultivation level astonishingly surpassing even her master's. Could he be a formidable figure from the Cultivation World or the Devil Domain, here at the Devil Sect to seek an audience with the Female Ruler?

"Wow! So incredibly handsome! Is it even possible for someone to be this good-looking?"

"Oh my god, I think I'm about to swoon from his sheer handsomeness!"

The two Devil Sect female disciples accompanying Shen Yunqing let out a shriek at the sight of Jiang Su's face, their cheeks flushing crimson.

From the moment Jiang Su made his entrance, Shen Yunqing was wholly absorbed in gauging his cultivation level. It wasn't until she overheard the maids' exclamations that she turned her gaze to Jiang Su's face.

Shen Yunqing mused, "As the Holy Maiden of the Devil Sect, haven't I seen all types of men?" Yet, upon seeing Jiang Su's face, she was momentarily transfixed.

There stood Jiang Su, clad in a white robe, a three-foot black sword in hand. He exuded an elegant aura, akin to a celestial being, and possessed a face of unparalleled handsomeness.

In comparison, the male cultivators from both the Cultivation World and the Devil Domain seemed utterly plain.

While the two female disciples were visibly smitten, Shen Yunqing had initially maintained her composure. However, upon getting a clear view of Jiang Su's face, she too was taken aback, her eyes sparkling with a hint of enchantment.

Is my otherworldly charm really so captivating? Yet, I am a man already wed. Though my wife currently rejects me, she will inevitably come around, Jiang Su pondered.

Catching Jiang Su's gaze, Shen Yunqing's cheeks warmed, and she inquired in a gentle whisper, "How should I address you? Are you here to confer with the Female Ruler? She's likely not within the Devil Sect at the moment."

Jiang Su nodded, "You can call me Young Master. Indeed, I've come seeking the Female Ruler. We've met before. She has sent me to retrieve something from the back mountain of your Devil Sect, but I seem to have lost my way."

A gentle breeze wafted by, stirring the hem of Shen Yunqing's white garment.

With a touch of bashfulness, Shen Yunqing offered, "Young Master, allow me to guide you to the back mountain."

She then stepped aside and gestured to Jiang Su, indicating she would lead the way.

It was precisely what Jiang Su had hoped for.

The two female disciples of the Devil Sect couldn't resist following Jiang Su and Shen Yunqing as they departed, marveling at how incredibly handsome he was.

Guided by Shen Yunqing, the Holy Maiden of the Devil Sect, Jiang Su encountered no obstacles within the sect and swiftly located his destination.

"Young master, we've reached the mountain's rear gate. Where exactly do you wish to go from here?"

"Thank you for guiding me this far. I won't impose on you any longer."

Shen Yunqing's gaze lingered on Jiang Su, noting his reluctance to reveal his identity.

Yet, for someone of Jiang Su's caliber, a rarity in the Cultivation World and a visitor seeking the Female Ruler, Shen Yunqing knew she could have her master inquire about his name and status with the Female Ruler herself.

With that, she curbed her curiosity. Bidding Jiang Su farewell with a warm smile, she couldn't help but cast several admiring glances his way.

Once they had parted ways, Jiang Su turned and stepped into the mountain's hinterlands.

The beauty of the landscape took him by surprise. Birds chirped amidst fragrant blossoms, and a soft breeze carried the sweet scent of wildflowers. Peach blossoms blanketed the mountain, their petals resting delicately on the grass below.

It rivaled the vistas of the Carefree Sect, a place where he had briefly resided before the Female Ruler had taken him.

"This is nothing short of a fairyland," Jiang Su exclaimed.

He also sensed the overwhelming spiritual energy of the mountain. Here, the energy was rich and dense, far surpassing that within the Devil Sect's core.

Indeed, this was an ideal spot for cultivation!

He found himself by a tranquil lake, its waters a serene shade of light green rather than blue.

The spiritual energy was palpable.

Jiang Su was certain; this was the Devil Sect's spiritual energy lake.

What a perfect place for cultivation! This was exactly what he needed.

Just as Jiang Su's spirits were lifted, the mechanical voice at last echoed.

"You have reached the designated location. A top-quality Spirit Gathering Pill and one of the Ten Great Devil Arts' secret manuals, the Shadowless Step, have been deposited into your storage space."
