The Eastern Wasteland, the Huangquan Demonic Sect.
The scorching sun in the sky blazed down, radiating an extremely intense heat.
At the entrance peak of the Huangquan Demonic Sect.
On the peak stood a slender woman in a black dress, exuding unparalleled charm and beauty.
The stunning woman gazed intently at the distant sky, her heart filled with immense apprehension.
"Holy Maiden, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is the Young Master truly returning today?" Behind the beautiful woman, a maiden in a green dress, delicate and lovely, inquired.
It turned out the woman was Tang Siqi, the Holy Maiden of the Huangquan Demonic Sect.
Today, Tang Siqi had a sudden impulse, sensing that Jiang Li might be returning. Thus, she had been waiting at the entrance peak since early morning.
She had waited for a long time, but Jiang Li's shadow had yet to appear.
"Qinghua, I'm not sure either, but I can feel Junior Brother Jiang Li getting closer to me!!" Tang Siqi smiled faintly, revealing a charming smile.
"Qinghua, I believe in the Holy Maiden!" Beside Qinghua, Qiuyue also broke into a smile.
The few of them continued to stand there foolishly.
The sky grew darker, but Tang Siqi's gaze remained resolute.
"Holy Maiden, please have something to eat. You've been waiting all day, and this little time won't make a difference. Let's eat something before continuing to wait for Young Master Jiang Li!" As starlight began to sprinkle across the sky, Qinghua could not help but speak.
"No, I want Junior Brother Jiang Li to see me the moment he returns!" Tang Siqi stubbornly waited at the mountain peak entrance.
The cold wind around them blew gently, rustling Tang Siqi's ethereal hair and stirring her heart.
"Senior Sister, if you don't eat something, I'll have to punish you properly later!" Just then, a clear and familiar voice echoed in Tang Siqi's ears.
Tang Siqi's eyes turned red, and her body trembled slightly.
Then, she felt herself being embraced in a warm, familiar embrace.
"Young Master, you've truly returned!" Qinghua exclaimed from the side, her eyes filled with wonder.
"Yes, I'm back!" Jiang Li smiled faintly and said softly.
After leaving the treasure vault's small world, Jiang Li had eagerly returned to the Huangquan Demonic Sect.
On the way, Jiang Li had also casually intercepted Xiao Yun's fortuitous encounter with an eight-hundred-thousand-year-old spiritual herb.
Looking at Tang Siqi, who was as tender as water and her eyes filled only with him, Jiang Li's heart softened.
Tang Siqi was the first woman in the truest sense of the word that Jiang Li had met in this world. Coupled with their many shared experiences, she held a unique place in Jiang Li's heart.
"Then Senior Sister will await Junior Brother's punishment!" Tang Siqi whispered, feeling the warmth enveloping her.
"You two, I'll have to punish you properly later as well!" Jiang Li then addressed Qiuyue and Qinghua beside him.
Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, the two women's bodies trembled, and their eyes held a flicker of longing.
Immediately afterward, Jiang Li led Tang Siqi, Qinghua, and Qiuyue back to the Holy Maiden Peak of the Huangquan Demonic Sect.
Familiar room, familiar people...
Jiang Li began to "punish" the women fiercely.
Familiar sounds and familiar punishments echoed repeatedly in the room...
Seven days later.
...
Huangquan Demonic Sect.
Lingyuan Hall.
Many high-ranking officials of the Huangquan Demonic Sect gathered in Lingyuan Hall.
The hall was filled with a harmonious scene of toasting and laughter.
"His Highness Jiang Li is truly too powerful. He easily defeated Xiao Yun of the Chaotic Holy Land, greatly enhancing the prestige of our Shimo Sect and Huangquan Demonic Sect!"
"I know that Xiao Yun. They called him the strongest Heavenly Prodigy, yet he was still defeated by His Highness Jiang Li..."
"Yes, yes, it's a pity I wasn't present to witness His Highness Jiang Li's divine might..."
The elders in Lingyuan Hall chattered, their words filled with respect and flattery towards Jiang Li.
At the head of Lingyuan Hall, Jiang Li sat with a smile, while Tang Siqi, her face flushed, poured wine for him, served him food, and attended to him attentively.
On another side, Li Yuanxiao, the Sect Master of the Huangquan Demonic Sect, and Tang Hai, Tang Siqi's father, were extremely delighted.
Tang Hai, in particular, had a flushed complexion. Many elders were praising him, his daughter had found such a powerful and outstanding man as Jiang Li.
Following his battle with Xiao Yun, Jiang Li had become famous throughout the Arid Ancient Continent.
Many people knew that the Shimo Sect had produced a peerless Heavenly Prodigy who had surpassed Xiao Yun, becoming the new strongest Heavenly Prodigy.
Countless women and outstanding young ladies from major powers wished to be associated with Jiang Li.
Especially now, with the unstable situation in the Arid Ancient Continent and the threats from the Dark Races and Evil Spirits, aligning with Jiang Li would provide greater security.
After exchanging pleasantries with the high-ranking officials of the Huangquan Demonic Sect, Jiang Li bestowed upon them many treasures.
These treasures were insignificant to Jiang Li, but for these elders, they were rare and astonishing opportunities.
Afterward, Jiang Li left the hall and, after spending several more days in intimate company with Tang Siqi and the other women, went into seclusion to cultivate.
...
Huangquan Demonic Sect.
A mountain peak with extremely dense spiritual energy.
Powerful formations were laid out on the peak, and numerous spiritual plants emitted a rich, fresh fragrance.
At the summit of the peak, there was a secret chamber. The chamber was adorned with various top-tier defensive and stealth inscriptions, capable of repelling most probes and damage.
Numerous people from the Shimo Sect stood guard loyally around the area.
"It's a pity that Yunxi and Li Qin have both gone to the battlefield!" Jiang Li murmured softly within the secret chamber, a sigh in his eyes.
A couple of days prior, he had searched for Luo Yunxi and Li Qin, wanting to catch up.
However, it was regrettable that they had both gone to the battlefield in the Heavenly Star Sea.
Upon learning this, Jiang Li dispatched many people from the Shimo Sect to protect them, and at the same time, sent them substantial cultivation resources.
Jiang Li felt a pang of sadness for his women.
And Su Mengli was still undergoing the inheritance from the Heavenly Fox Ancestor and had not yet emerged.
Jiang Li felt a faint sense of worry. His worry could not change anything.
Mengli, I hope everything goes smoothly, Jiang Li took a deep breath, suppressing the thoughts in his heart.
He wondered if Xiao Yun's spatial ring would hold any pleasant surprises for him.
Jiang Li took out Xiao Yun's spatial ring. After defeating Xiao Yun, in addition to obtaining Xiao Yun's Immortal Body Essence Blood.
Jiang Li had also obtained Xiao Yun's spatial ring.
However, he had been busy playing "little games" with Tang Siqi and the others during these past few days and hadn't had the time to examine it.
Now, he finally had the time to properly inspect the treasures within this spatial ring.
Immediately, Jiang Li infused his divine sense and began to probe Xiao Yun's spatial ring.
"This, how can they all be so abundant!" Looking at the numerous spiritual items within the spatial ring, Jiang Li's breathing became more rapid.
