At this moment, Yun Fan was lying in his room, recovering from his injuries while watching short videos.
After all, with his current strength, simply sitting in seclusion for extended periods no longer yielded much effect.
Simultaneously, Yun Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart. Although his strength was just shy of a Land Immortal, and in his demonized state, his power even neared that of a Land Immortal.
Yet, it had to be said that the gap in combat power between him and a Land Immortal was more than just a small margin.
Take for instance, the God of Light. Even before fully reviving, he managed to inflict such serious injuries upon Yun Fan.
How powerful would the God of Light be at his peak?
It seemed that being a Land Immortal was merely the starting point for true powerhouses. However, at present, he showed no signs of breaking through to the Land Immortal realm.
Subsequently, Yun Fan turned off his phone and prepared for a good night's sleep. After returning, he would go rescue his master, who had been trapped in the Blood Prison Forbidden Land for many years.
Before, he lacked the strength to rescue his master, but now he could try. Of course, success was still uncertain.
Just as he turned off the lights and fell asleep, he suddenly felt someone beside him. Yun Fan quickly turned on the light, only to discover it was Dai Qisi.
"Fourth Senior Sister, why are you here?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion.
Dai Qisi smiled charmingly, "Of course, I'm here to accompany you. My little junior brother, the night is long, you must be very lonely!"
"Uh..."
Yun Fan hadn't noticed before that his Fourth Senior Sister had such a seductive side.
Thus, he immediately said, "No need, Fourth Senior Sister. You should be comprehending your techniques, and I should be recovering from my injuries! This is not appropriate right now!"
"Are you going to reject me then?"
Dai Qisi smiled alluringly, and with just a glance, she nearly sent Yun Fan to the heavens.
Yun Fan quickly explained, "Fourth Senior Sister, can we talk normally?"
"Isn't this normal!"
Dai Qisi teased, "Just kidding with you. Come, let me check your injuries!"
"Really, no need!"
Yun Fan was speechless. That aloof Fourth Senior Sister seemed to be gone forever.
"How boring!"
Dai Qisi said with displeasure.
With that, she turned to leave. However, the moment she turned, her expression suddenly changed, and she attacked Yun Fan directly.
Yun Fan was startled because Dai Qisi was full of killing intent at this moment, and he almost fell victim to her attack, but he managed to block it.
"Hmph!"
Yun Fan snorted, "You are not my Fourth Senior Sister!"
Hearing this, Dai Qisi asked in confusion, "How did you know?"
"Because Fourth Senior Sister isn't as seductive as you are!"
"You..."
Dai Qisi was furious and attacked Yun Fan again.
In fact, Yun Fan knew something was amiss from the beginning. His Fourth Senior Sister was a cold and beautiful woman.
But the aura Dai Qisi displayed just now was the complete opposite of aloofness. Therefore, from that moment on, Yun Fan had sensed something was wrong.
At this point, he blocked one of Dai Qisi's moves, but unfortunately, already heavily injured, his condition worsened.
Yun Fan felt weak.
"Even if you found out, so what? You will still die by my hand!"
Dai Qisi said with a playful smile.
"You are the Witch Ancestor!"
Yun Fan deduced immediately. Although the person was still his Fourth Senior Sister, her soul was not. There was only one possibility: the other party was the Witch Ancestor.
Dai Qisi playfully remarked, "You're so smart, you actually guessed it!"
"Where did you put my Fourth Senior Sister?"
Yun Fan asked with concern.
Now that the Witch Ancestor had occupied Fourth Senior Sister's body, he wondered if Fourth Senior Sister was alright. If he hadn't known that even Land Immortals couldn't perform soul possession, he would have immediately suspected that Fourth Senior Sister's soul had been destroyed by the Witch Ancestor.
Dai Qisi said, "She's sleeping soundly inside me. As long as I suppress her soul, this body is mine!"
"You wish!"
Yun Fan cursed, "Your scheme will not succeed! I just didn't expect you to have evaded my probes!"
This was what Yun Fan was most curious about. He had tested her multiple times, yet the Witch Ancestor still managed to evade him.
Dai Qisi smiled, "Sorry, your methods of testing were too primitive. It was very easy for me to evade them!"
"Now, if I kill you and absorb all your power, perhaps I can recover my strength!"
Although the Witch Ancestor's soul had just revived, she was still in a weakened state. In her eyes, Yun Fan was a great tonic.
Therefore, she would not let this opportunity to recover her strength slip by.
Yun Fan said, "To try and strip me of my power is nothing but a pipe dream!"
"Is that so?"
Dai Qisi sneered and attacked Yun Fan again.
Yun Fan quickly retaliated. This time, no matter what, he had to destroy the Witch Ancestor's soul and free his Fourth Senior Sister.
But alas, he still underestimated her strength. Although she was in a weakened state, she was still not someone he, at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, could contend with.
Within just a few moves, in the confined space of the room, Yun Fan faced another humiliation in his life, being defeated and losing his ability to resist.
"Damn it!"
Yun Fan was filled with anger. If he hadn't been severely injured, it wouldn't have been impossible to fight back, but now, the outcome was sealed.
'See, this is the gap between us!'
Yun Fan was deeply enlightened. Although he and the Witch Ancestor were only separated by one realm, that one realm was a chasm.
It could be said that one was an unparalleled powerhouse, while the other was an ant. This was the greatest disparity Yun Fan had faced since his breakthrough.
In previous realms, being a realm apart meant that although he couldn't fight across realms, the gap was definitely not this large.
Even if he wouldn't win, he wouldn't be defeated so utterly.
However, at this moment, his life was in danger, as he didn't believe the Witch Ancestor would show mercy.
"It's over!"
The Witch Ancestor, disguised as Dai Qisi, began to strip him of his power.
Yun Fan felt his power and life force being drained by the Witch Ancestor.
"It seems I can only make a final desperate attempt!"
Yun Fan gritted his teeth and converted his power into his demonized state. The next moment, this demonized power was not only not absorbed by Dai Qisi but also began to absorb Dai Qisi's power in return.
"How is this possible?"
The Witch Ancestor was shocked. She hadn't expected that despite her powerful curse, she couldn't compete with demonic energy. Moreover, this was happening when there was a significant gap between Yun Fan and her.
If there were no gap between them, then Yun Fan would be the prey, not her.
For this reason, she quickly withdrew her power, fearing being completely consumed by Yun Fan.
"It actually works!"
Yun Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He would get revenge for this humiliation someday, but definitely not now.
"You can't do anything to me!"
Yun Fan said coldly, "So you wait for me. Sooner or later, I will refine your soul!"
Facing Yun Fan's threat, Dai Qisi showed no reaction. Instead, she said to Yun Fan, "Although I can't do anything to you, I can still kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan's expression changed. What he meant by "can't do anything" was that she couldn't absorb his power.
It didn't mean she couldn't kill him! He had to admit, he had overplayed his hand. And at this moment, the killing intent in the Witch Ancestor's eyes was undeniable.
Therefore, Yun Fan had to say, "If I'm not mistaken, your body was destroyed by the three Great Gods, right? Only a wisp of your soul survived!"
"So what?"
Dai Qisi said coldly, "Regardless, shortly after my demise, those three fellows offended a powerful demonic cultivator from Huaxia, who then killed them!"
"Now I have no threat!"
However, Yun Fan said, "You are mistaken. The other two Great Gods are definitely dead, but the remnant soul of the God of Light managed to escape death by hiding in the light!"
"And it was his remnant soul that severely injured me. Frankly speaking, you are no match for him!"
"So what?"
Dai Qisi sneered, "What does that have to do with me wanting to kill you!"
Initially, she didn't hate Yun Fan, but he had previously tried to erase her soul. Therefore, their feud began at that moment.
Yun Fan said, "It has something to do with it, of course it has something to do with it!"
"Without me, you won't make it. You died at their hands back then, and only your soul survived. When the God of Light revives, you will be in danger. I suspect he will see you as prey!"
Upon hearing this, the Witch Ancestor's expression turned grim. Even though the three Great Gods were easily defeated by that demonic cultivator back then, any one of them was stronger than her. If Yun Fan was telling the truth, then she was indeed in some danger.
At this point, Yun Fan said, "If you don't believe me, you can look at my injuries!"
Yun Fan then revealed his wounds and discovered traces of divine light on them. Although most of it had been devoured by demonic energy, there were still many similar residual energies.
At this moment, the Witch Ancestor no longer doubted Yun Fan's words.
Therefore, she asked Yun Fan, "Are you sure you can defeat him?"
"Not now!"
Yun Fan replied, "Don't forget, I am a successor of the demonic path. Soon, I will reach the strength of that senior from back then, and dealing with a Great God will be a trivial matter!"
He said "soon" without a specific timeframe, as even he was unsure when he would break through to the next realm.
"That's right!"
The Witch Ancestor said, "When you truly have that strength, killing me will also be simple. Who can guarantee that you won't turn against me? Therefore, I cannot trust you!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan realized that the Witch Ancestor's intelligence was quite sharp, having deduced his intentions in such a short period.
Indeed, she was difficult to deal with. Just as he was unsure how to proceed,
The Witch Ancestor suddenly said, "Therefore, to make you obedient, I intend to use the most vicious curse to control you!"
"What curse?"
Yun Fan's heart trembled. After experiencing the torment of the Love Gu, he feared such things the most.
"I curse you to live forever, to live on eternally!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was stunned. Such a good thing? He just wanted to say, "Bring it on! Don't show me any mercy, curse me with the most vicious curse!"
The next moment, a purple light merged into his body. Yun Fan discovered that his body now contained a mysterious power.
This was likely the power of the curse.
The Witch Ancestor confidently said, "From today onwards, without me lifting the curse, you will live on forever, experiencing the pain of separation and loss! This is the most painful curse!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan said, "No problem, but you can't keep occupying my Fourth Senior Sister's body, can you!"
"I find this body perfect, I like it!"
The Witch Ancestor said shamelessly.
Yun Fan was a little angry, "Then won't my Fourth Senior Sister be trapped by you forever!"
"Unless I can find a suitable body, I will consider leaving her body!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan had a bad premonition, as "one day" was similar to his own concept of "soon." It sounded like it wouldn't take long, but it was an unknown. Therefore, Yun Fan said, "No, you have to give my Fourth Senior Sister half the time, right? After all, you are seizing it by force!"
"Alright then!"
Dai Qisi said, "I'll give her half the time each day. Half for me, and half for her. How about that?"
Yun Fan listened and felt as if he were experiencing a split personality. However, at this point, this was the only option. Once he broke through to the Land Immortal realm, he would rebel.
Then, he would directly suppress the Witch Ancestor and rescue his Fourth Senior Sister.
"For example, right now, it's her turn!"
With that, Dai Qisi's eyes changed, shifting from seductive to her previous aloof demeanor.
"Little Junior Brother, how can I be here?"
Dai Qisi was startled. She had only felt like she was asleep and knew nothing of what had happened.
Did she have sleepwalking episodes?
This was completely impossible. In any case, she found this situation very strange.
Yun Fan said helplessly, "Fourth Senior Sister, the Witch Ancestor's soul is within you. Just now, she was occupying your body!"
"What?"
Dai Qisi was shocked. Such a bizarre event shattered her inner defenses.
"Then... then what should I do!"
Dai Qisi said worriedly, "I don't want to become a living dead person!"
Yun Fan said, "Don't worry, there will be a way to solve this. Trust me!"
Seeing Yun Fan's firm reassurance, Dai Qisi finally relaxed.
In fact, Yun Fan wanted to tell her his plan to resolve this, but he was afraid the Witch Ancestor might overhear. Therefore, he could only offer simple comfort.
After finally comforting Dai Qisi, Yun Fan felt mentally and physically exhausted. This Witch Ancestor was a major problem.
At this moment, he was studying the curse within his body and discovered that it was attached to his soul.
Indeed, the power of a curse was quite terrifying. However, he had a speculation: the Witch Ancestor, who was so powerful back then, was still defeated by the trio of Great Gods.
Therefore, in his opinion, the Witch Ancestor's curse should not have much deterrent effect on cultivators of the same level.
At this moment, he attempted to use demonic energy to devour the curse.
Indeed, the effect was remarkable. Demonic energy could devour curses, but he stopped. He had to keep the Witch Ancestor stable for now.
Once he made further progress, he would make her pay.
...
The next day, the two returned to Huaxia.
However, as soon as they arrived in Huaxia, before they even reached Jiangnan, Yun Fan and Dai Qisi felt an aura emanating from deep within, approaching them.
"Not good!"
At this moment, Yun Fan thought of the Fengchan Land. Such a powerful presence that even made him tremble could only be from the Fengchan Land.
However, he hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly.
In the blink of an eye, a man about ten years older than Yun Fan appeared before Yun Fan and Dai Qisi.
At this moment, Yun Fan's eyes were filled with apprehension because the aura emanating from the man seemed to have surpassed the Nascent Soul stage.
The man said coldly, "Finally caught you! Demon!"
"Who are you?"
Yun Fan asked coldly.
"Logically speaking, you are not qualified to know my name, but since you are about to die, I don't mind telling you! Fengchan Land, Shi Tianxing!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan was immediately shocked. The Shi family was a formidable force in the Fengchan Land. The Shi Tianxing before him was incredibly terrifying, conservatively estimated to be a Land Immortal-level cultivator.
Therefore, Yun Fan immediately said to Dai Qisi, "Fourth Senior Sister, you go first. I'll hold him back!"
Before either of them could react, Shi Tianxing attacked.
With a single move, Yun Fan was severely injured and sent flying backward.
"Little Junior Brother!"
Dai Qisi looked on with worry. However, Shi Tianxing had no intention of sparing her. With a flick of his finger, he intended to kill her instantly.
"Be careful!"
Yun Fan exerted all his strength, even entering his demonized state, trying to stop Shi Tianxing.
However, Shi Tianxing said, "An ant is just an ant. No matter how much you struggle, it will be in vain. This world does not need demons like you! Die!"
Shi Tianxing showed no expression. His goal was to intercept Yun Fan, because if someone like Yun Fan were to grow, he would threaten the position of the Fengchan Land. The person from a thousand years ago was the best example.
Seeing Yun Fan repeatedly struck and in a precarious situation, at this critical moment, Dai Qisi pleaded, "I know you can hear me. Please, help me! Help my little junior brother!"
