On the third day's dawn, the Gluttonous Pavilion was entirely surrounded by a uniform array of Golden Core cultivators, whose aura was so intimidating it made hearts tremble.

Previously the bustling center of Qingfeng City, this area had become eerily deserted when these people encircled the Gluttonous Pavilion. Everyone chose to steer clear, rendering the usually vibrant district uncharacteristically quiet.

Many watched from afar, some with regret visible on their faces, others sporting schadenfreude expressions.

The presence of the Gluttonous Pavilion had poached business from many peers, so seeing it under misfortune naturally delighted some.

Such is the cold indifference of the world, and not a single person dared to speak up in this situation.

The ones surrounding the Gluttonous Pavilion were, of course, from the Ouyang Family. They uttered no words and maintained expressionless faces even as Miao Yi Niang and others loudly rebuked them.

Though no physical confrontations had occurred, escape for those within the Gluttonous Pavilion was utterly impossible.

"Is the illustrious Ouyang Family really only capable of such despicable methods?" Miao Yi Niang shouted indignantly, but her words met with no response.

It wasn't until a middle-aged man, a minor manager from the Ouyang Family, arrived with a reprehensible attitude and arrogance. He bluntly notified Miao Yi Niang and the others that the Ouyang Family would soon send over bridal clothes and instructed them to freshen up and get dressed, to wait for the Ouyang Family to come and fetch them!

In broad daylight, in a public arena, the brazenness of the Ouyang Family's actions was infuriating.

Yet, the onlookers around remained silent, with not a single one daring to intervene.

Indeed, the Ouyang Family had observed every move Miao Yi Niang and her group made over the past two days without obstruction. To them, it seemed more like a game of cat and mouse.

Prepare all you want, do whatever you please, but thinking of escaping? Not a chance!

Needless to say, Miao Yi Niang and her companions refused to comply docilely. Protected by Qin Shi and Dong Yu with their dharma instruments, they fiercely pushed their way out.

These Golden Core cultivators from the Ouyang Family were surprisingly unable to stop them.

However, this exposure revealed the powerful dharma instruments in the hands of Qin Shi and Dong Yu.

Reinforcements from the Ouyang Family arrived quickly, a group of Primordial Infant realm masters, also carrying several dharma instruments, hoping to keep Qin Shi and the others there.

Both sides, without hesitation, engaged in a direct showdown of magical prowess.

The battle lasted for more than ten days!

The Ouyang Family probably never expected these Foundation Establishment outsiders to exhibit such spirited resistance. They got serious and even dispatched several powerful elders equipped with stronger dharma instruments to join the fight.

The dharma instruments wielded by the Ouyang Family were mainly from the Immortal Realm.

Faced with advanced dharma instruments from the Heavenly Realm in the hands of Qin Shi and Dong Yu, they naturally stood little chance of gaining the upper hand.

But because Qin Shi, Dong Yu, and the others were at too low a level of cultivation, they couldn't fully unleash the potential of their instruments. Coupled with the powerful combat abilities of the Ouyang Family's cultivators, the battle reached a deadlock.

There were even casualties on the Ouyang Family's side.

One Golden Core cultivator, unable to dodge in time, had his life taken away by a dharma instrument wielded by Qin Shi.

As a result, the conflict between the two sides became even more irreconcilable, leaving no room for any easing of tensions.

As powerful members of the Ouyang Family continued to join the fight, Miao Yi Niang and her companions gradually began to falter. However, by then, they had managed to break through to the gates of Qingfeng City.

At this point, a young man from the Ouyang Family suddenly appeared. He looked to be only about seventeen or eighteen years old. He came, took one look, and hurriedly returned.

Then, inexplicably, all the members of the Ouyang Family withdrew at once.

Miao Yi Niang and the others were all perplexed.

Only Qin Shi and Dong Yu exchanged a glance and saw three words in each other's eyes—trouble has come!

Because the two women sensed that the young man who appeared last from the Ouyang Family seemed to recognize them!

There was only one possibility left: that young man could also enter the Illusory God Realm!

But Qin Shi and Dong Yu couldn't be sure if that was the case. However, thankfully, they had finally left Qingfeng City. Yet everyone was somewhat at a loss, with none knowing where to go next.

"Let's just take one step at a time," Miao Yi Niang said in a low voice, "Chu Mo is right; we really should find a secluded forest somewhere no one knows and hide. We should not come out until we reach the Primordial Infant realm. This Spirit Realm... is far more dangerous than we imagined!"

Shen Xingxue nodded and said, "Indeed, I always thought that, regardless of strength, there should at least be some rules. But these people act without any rules at all."

Qin Shi glanced in the direction of Qingfeng City's gates and said, "Let's hurry up and leave, or we really won't be able to!"

"Hm?" Everyone looked at her in surprise.

Dong Yu added from the side, "It seems that Sister Shishi's and my identities have been exposed!"

"What?" Everyone was greatly startled.

Miao Yi Niang murmured, "Could it be that the Ouyang Family... has cultivators who can enter the Illusory God Realm?"

"I remember now, at the end, there was a young man about seventeen or eighteen from the Ouyang Family who just took one look and then turned to leave... Could it be him?" Huang Hui said with furrowed brows.

Qin Shi nodded, "It's very likely him. Our dharma instruments are too extraordinary, which might have caught his attention. Let's quickly leave; otherwise, they might indeed attempt to kill us."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, as the identities of Qin Shi and Dong Yu were a huge secret in this Spirit Realm. If their identities were exposed, the consequences would be endless.

Two Heavenly Geniuses from the Heavenly Realm, how many treasures might they possess? Not to mention anything else, just the legacies they carried were enough to drive the entire Spirit Realm mad!

Now, before the Ouyang Family had fully reacted, if not now, then when?

Miao Yi Niang and the others also quickly came to this realization, took a deep breath, and then turned to leave.

...…

At this moment, at the Ouyang Family's residence.

"Ping Feng, are you sure... those two women are really the princesses from the heavenly clans in the Illusory God Realm that are being widely talked about?" Ouyang Guanghui sat in the patriarch's seat, looking seriously at the young man in front of him with a frown, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Patriarch, I am certain. Those two women are definitely them!" The young man speaking was very handsome, named Ouyang Ping Feng. He was the housekeeper Ouyang Guangda's younger son, and the Patriarch Ouyang Guanghui's own nephew!

Ouyang Ping Feng was also the most extraordinarily talented individual in the entire Ouyang Family!

At the same time, he was the Ouyang Family's biggest secret!

Ouyang Ping Feng reached the Foundation Establishment phase at thirteen, the Gold Core at fifteen, and at eighteen this year, he had already successfully broken through to the Primordial Infant realm!

This speed of cultivation might be nothing for the Heavenly Geniuses of the Heavenly Realm, but in this Spirit Realm, it was an incredibly heaven-defying existence!
