Mu Dieyi had never imagined that she, a celestial being from the Upper Realm, would be so cornered, pursued by mere ants from the lower realm to such a state.
Just moments ago, she had been jointly attacked by several cultivators from the lower realm, nearly perishing at their hands.
Fortunately, as a celestial being, she possessed many hidden trump cards, not something these bumpkins from the lower realm could contend with.
Mu Dieyi thought this with lingering disdain as she escaped the encirclement of the lower realm cultivators.
However, at that very moment, her expression suddenly turned grim, and she attempted to turn and flee.
But figures appeared in front, behind, and all around her, once again trapping her in the center.
"Mere ants, do you think you can defeat me by taking advantage of my weakened state?"
Enraged, Mu Dieyi flipped her palm, revealing a thumb-sized bead.
With a thought, the bead exploded, emitting a blinding white light.
"Ah! Ah! Ah…"
"I'm dead…"
"Pain…"
The attackers were caught in the blast, letting out a series of screams.
When the dazzling white light dissipated, Mu Dieyi was nowhere to be seen. Only a few corpses and several injured cultivators lay on the ground.
"She's already at the end of her rope, she can't have gone far."
"Let's keep pursuing!"
The remaining cultivators continued to track her by her scent.
Mu Dieyi indeed hadn't escaped far before she was intercepted by another group of cultivators.
After this series of desperate escapes and breakthroughs, her means were dwindling.
The cultivators blocking her path ahead immediately unleashed their strongest techniques without a word, launching their most ferocious attacks.
Mu Dieyi could only respond hastily, unable to unleash any powerful killing moves at this point.
Her body grew weaker, and her divine abilities became increasingly feeble.
"Esteemed immortal maiden, I advise you to cease struggling. You have nowhere left to run."
A man with a lecherous face, a crooked mustache, and beady triangular eyes continuously ogled Mu Dieyi from head to toe.
His gaze seemed to pierce through her celestial robes, longing to see what lay beneath.
"We'll give you a chance now. Just take off that mask and entertain us a bit, and we'll ensure your safety."
"That's right, entertain us!"
"Heh heh heh heh…"
"If you join us, you'll be one of us brothers, and we naturally won't stand by and watch."
These cultivators were a pack of wolves, sharing the same depraved interests, and now they all wore smug, sinister smiles.
Mu Dieyi was too weak at this moment to muster any strength. Otherwise, she would have certainly beheaded these men and cast their souls into the bodies of beasts.
Now, she would rather die than let these monstrous creatures succeed.
"Don't struggle anymore. Even if you die now, we won't let your corpse go."
"Heh heh heh…"
"This old man has a peculiar fondness for collecting all sorts of corpses!"
"I will take your corpse…"
Under their threats, Mu Dieyi was forced to abandon the thought of suicide and chose to endure humiliation.
She vowed that once she recovered even a sliver of her strength, she would torture these men to death.
Though these cultivators' conduct was far from upright, they did possess some means. They covered Mu Dieyi with a beast hide, set up a formation on the spot, and instantly vanished from the area.
In a mountain cave, a group of people surrounded Mu Dieyi and began to lay their hands on her.
Although they had lived for ages and had corrupted countless female beings, this one before them was different. She was a true celestial maiden from the Upper Realm.
Thinking of this, their hands trembled, and an urge to urinate overcame them.
A hunched, emaciated old man, extending a withered hand like a chicken's claw, shakily tore off Mu Dieyi's mask.
"Pfft!"
"Ah!"
"Ugh!"
"We've been tricked…"
A distorted, deformed face delivered a profound shock to their minds, leaving them with lifelong psychological scars.
"This is too much!"
In their furious rage, the cultivators simultaneously attacked, unleashing countless powerful divine abilities upon Mu Dieyi.
Mu Dieyi's exquisite and alluring physical form was utterly shattered at this moment.
A soul flew out from within, vanishing in an instant, unnoticed even by the overly excited group of cultivators.
Mu Dieyi's soul drifted, enduring various hardships and trials along the way, before finally returning to the Immortal Realm. It flew towards a cave dwelling but was blocked by guardian stone beasts.
After explanations and announcements, she was finally allowed to enter the cave dwelling to report the detailed experiences of her mission to the lower realm.
Mu Dieyi's report was relayed layer by layer, eventually reaching a Tai Xu Immortal Lord who ruled over a region.
Upon receiving the news, this Tai Xu True Lord attached great importance to it and immediately issued a directive for his most capable subordinate to handle the matter.
This subordinate, not daring to delay, also passed it on to his most talented subordinate…
Even so, the Tai Xu Immortal Lord remained uneasy and needed to report the matter further up the chain…
On a cloud-shrouded mountain peak, an old man with snow-white hair and beard sat on a large rock.
He had been comprehending the Heavenly Dao here for tens of thousands of years.
At this moment, a young attendant flew to his side and reported to him about the Creation Jade Disk.
"Alas, we are of the human race, and cannot entirely emulate other races. This matter requires preparations on two fronts!"
"Have someone take this token to the lower realm. They only need to find this person and hand it over!"
The old man handed a treasure to the attendant and then resumed his contemplation of the Heavenly Dao.
