The girl's eyes flashed with a look of terror, and she couldn't help but take two steps back, exclaiming, "Corpse Poison Old Monster, why are you here?"

Corpse Poison Old Monster stood motionless, spreading his hands, as green energy surged between his palms.

"Not only am I here, but my disciple has also arrived!"

As his voice fell, a figure suddenly leaped over the wall, moving like the wind, and landed beside Corpse Poison Old Monster.

It was a young man in his twenties, with a fairly masculine appearance, but his hands glowed with a strange green hue.

"Master!"

He knelt on one knee, bowed, and clasped his fists to Corpse Poison Old Monster.

"Stand up. Isn't your long-thought-about bride right opposite? Why not take a good look?"

Upon hearing this, the young man excitedly stood up, gazing deeply at the girl.

"Wife, it's been over a year since we last met. I've missed you so much!"

His eyes bore an undeniable lust, with a deep greed hidden within his gaze.

Seeing the two appear, the girl's face turned pale, her delicate body trembling.

"Corpse Poison Child, shut your mouth! Who is your wife?"

Despite the fear in her heart, the girl braved her courage to speak coldly.

She had not expected that after entering the Mortal World, these two would find her in such a secluded place.

The young man was none other than the Corpse Poison Child, who grinned and said nonchalantly, "I've decided that you are my wife, so you definitely are!"

"We visited the Lotus Sect a few days ago and heard from your master that you've returned to the Mortal World. I then begged my master to travel tirelessly over miles to find you!"

He stepped forward, extending his hand earnestly as he said, "Miao Miao, come back with me. We can marry, then the Poison Evil Sect and the Lotus Sect will become in-laws. By then, the Poison Evil Sect will surely aid you in resisting the Demon Punishment Palace!"

"Resist the Demon Punishment Palace?" The girl didn't heed his earlier words and focused on the latter part.

"What did you say? Has the Demon Punishment Palace emerged?"

She exclaimed in shock, as this news was utterly astounding to her.

"Exactly!" Corpse Poison Child replied, "The Demon Punishment Palace has produced a peerless genius, only ninety years old, who has inherited all the Demon Punishment Palace's legacies, even mastering the 'Heavy Slaughter,' a skill only the founder Xing Mozi could wield, with unmatched strength."

"A few days ago, Feixu Palace, one of the two Ancient Martial Sects allied with your Lotus Sect, was annihilated by the Demon Punishment Palace. Now, among the Three Great Alliance Sects, only your Lotus Sect and Thunderbolt Sect remain!"

"Miao Miao, Thunderbolt Sect Master Dao Xuzi recently failed in a forced attempt to reach the War Emperor, and is seriously injured, needing at least a year and a half to recover his Primordial Energy. Meanwhile, the Demon Punishment Palace will make a major move against the Lotus Sect and Thunderbolt Sect within two months at most!"

"You know very well that the Lotus Sect and Thunderbolt Sect can absolutely not withstand the Demon Punishment Palace!"

Corpse Poison Child finished in one breath, a confident smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

"If you're willing to marry me, we can marry immediately, and the Poison Evil Sect will be an ally of the Thunderbolt and Lotus Sects. With our poisoning skills and experts in the sect, we can help you withstand the Demon Punishment Palace!"

He stood with hands behind his back, looking utterly sure of himself.

He had everything calculated. Although the girl had left the sect and returned to the Mortal World, her feelings for the Lotus Sect were thicker than blood. There was no way she would watch the Lotus Sect suffer.

Sure enough, after listening to Corpse Poison Child's words, a struggle appeared in the girl's eyes.

"How did it come to this?"

She knew of the grudge between the Demon Punishment Palace and the Three Great Alliance Sects. Back then, the founder of Demon Punishment Palace, Xing Mozi, was ruthless, seizing many sects and soaking the heavens in blood.

Amid endless slaughter, the Three Great Sects eventually couldn't bear it and formed an alliance, with Thunderbolt Sect and Lotus Sect being two of them.

The Three Sect Alliance, with all their experts, dealt the Demon Punishment Palace a severe blow. Rumor has it that Xing Mozi also perished in that battle.

Though the Demon Punishment Palace was defeated, the Three Great Sects were also gravely injured and did not eradicate the Demon Punishment Palace, instead forcing its leader to hide for a hundred years, unable to open the sect until time had passed.

But now, less than eighty years later, the Demon Punishment Palace forcefully opened up, even wiping out the other sect besides Thunderbolt and Lotus, evidencing their power to disregard the Three Great Sects.

Though she didn't know the specifics of the Demon Punishment Palace, having grown up in the Lotus Sect and hearing her master's tales, she was deeply aware of its terrifying nature.

If the Demon Punishment Palace attacked with full force, the Lotus Sect would likely face annihilation.

Seeing the girl's face filled with struggle and conflict, Corpse Poison Child smiled widely.

"Well, Miao Miao, what have you considered? As long as you're willing to marry me, the Poison Evil Sect will be an ally of the Lotus Sect!"

The girl slightly raised her eyes, having originally decided to leave the sect because she despised Corpse Poison Child's harassment, choosing to step into the Mortal World, returning to her worldly home, avoiding involvement in Ancient Martial Sect affairs.

Yet now her sect was in peril, and she found it hard to stand aside.

After pondering for a while, resolve filled her eyes.

"Corpse Poison Child, I will not agree to your terms. Even if the Lotus Sect faces great calamity, I will not survive in disgrace. I will return to the sect immediately. If the Demon Punishment Palace comes, we will fight to the end. Even in death, I refuse to marry you!"

Her words were firm and decisive, causing Corpse Poison Child's face to turn completely somber.

"Miao Miao, you disappoint me too much!"

The malevolence in his eyes climbed bit by bit.

"I've come all this way just for you, and you heartlessly reject me. Do you think I, Corpse Poison Child, am just anyone?"

He let out a grim smile, his eerie green hands slowly clenching into fists.

"Today, whether you're willing or not, I will take you away!"

Corpse Poison Old Monster remained silent on the side, leaving everything to this disciple to handle.

The girl's expression was severe; though she was already considered a top genius in the Mortal World, within the Ancient Martial Sect, there were many talents stronger than her, and Corpse Poison Child was among them. Leaving today would be like climbing to the sky.

Moreover, standing behind Corpse Poison Child was Corpse Poison Old Monster, whose cultivation had reached the Half-step War Emperor Realm!

As she stood at a loss, a distant voice came from beside her.

"Have you finished your nonsense?"

As the voice came, Corpse Poison Old Monster, Corpse Poison Child, and the girl all looked towards Ye Qingfeng.

He didn't even glance at Corpse Poison Child and Corpse Poison Old Monster, looking impatiently at the girl.

"I'm not interested in hearing your matters. Quickly open the door and don't waste my time!"

The girl had been standing by his side, nervously pressing her jade hand against the door, much to his dissatisfaction.
