Limitless Ascension: Strength Amid Adversity – Chapter 570

The subordinates were all dumbfounded, staring at Bo Chengli with wide-open mouths, as if they could fit an ostrich egg inside.

“No way, how dare you?”

“Are you out of your mind?!”

Hong Qianye nearly doubted her ears, her stunning face frozen in disbelief. Anger surged within her, turning her gaze terrifying as she glared at Bo Chengli and coldly asked,

“Do you even know what you’re saying?”

He was genuinely angry. Ever since coming to the Immortal Realm, he had never felt such rage.

A mere Immortal Emperor dared to come provoke him? And shamelessly utter such humiliating words!

Hong Qianye was almost blinded by anger, but a sliver of reason kept her composed, making her ponder the other party’s intentions.

Could it be that this guy was just looking for death?

Bo Chengli furrowed his brows.

Wait, something’s off!

By this time, the other side should’ve been acting all submissive and groveling, unconditionally obeying him.

After all, with his martial arts techniques, capturing a Female Cultivator at the Immortal Sovereign level should be a piece of cake.

So why was it still not working?!

While Bo Chengli struggled to maintain his calm, he frantically activated his techniques, beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead, a cocky grin plastered on his face,

“My lady, do you really have no feelings for this young master? Quit pretending and let’s get to it!”

“????” The crowd looked utterly confused.

Is this guy actually serious?

Who gave him that confidence?

Hong Qianye’s eye twitched, feeling utterly ridiculous.

It was clear to her that this was an overly confident idiot!

He seriously thought he was so charming that every woman would fall for him!

Watching this unfold.

Bo Chengli suddenly felt something was off and cautiously asked, “You see me, and you really don’t feel the slightest bit?”

“Not even a tiny bit of love for me?”

He began to seriously doubt whether his prized techniques had failed!

“Why would I ever love you?”

“And by the way, I’m a man.”

Hong Qianye sneered.

“Man… a man?!!!!!!”

Bo Chengli froze, then jumped back in shock, his expression incredulous, his pupils shaking violently.

“What? The Sect Leader is a man?”

The key members exchanged bewildered glances, shock visible in their eyes.

They thought the Sect Leader was a woman!

But honestly, who cared? They were all infatuated with the person’s looks anyway.

Gender didn’t matter!

Upon hearing Hong Qianye’s words, it was impossible to imagine the magnitude of shock and fear Bo Chengli felt inside.

With a face like that, you’re telling me you’re a man?

The real problem is, from the outside, you don’t look any different from a woman!

Bo Chengli never expected that after all the women he had seen in his life, he’d be unable to tell if someone was a guy or a girl!

In reality, it wasn’t entirely his fault for not recognizing it; it was just that Hong Qianye’s appearance was too deceiving.

First, aside from that beautiful face, just looking at other factors, her figure was weak and willow-like, slender and delicate, skin pale with a soft sheen, the kind of beauty that made countless girls envious.

Plus, Hong Qianye’s voice had a cold tone, instantly bringing to mind a capable and shrewd woman, and the most significant factor was that her throat bone was barely visible; one could even say if you didn’t check closely, you wouldn’t sense it was there.

Therefore, anyone looking at her overall image would naturally assume she was a coldly beautiful woman in red!

In Ye Junlin’s past life, this would’ve been referred to as a congenital top-tier male feminine body!

At this moment.

Bo Chengli finally understood why his techniques had faltered, and an immense fear and regret filled his heart.

Just now, he had actually spoken such things to a powerful Immortal Sovereign with the status of an Immortal Emperor?

He was dead meat, no jokes!!!

Bo Chengli was too late to feel awkward because he realized he was in serious trouble now.

After all, this was his true body, not a previous clone!

Feeling the temperature around him plummeting, every hair on Bo Chengli stood on end, a chilling sensation sweeping over him, his scalp nearly exploding, and he trembled uncontrollably, feeling the urgent need to pee.

“Please, please spare me, my respected one! I didn’t mean to! I just got confused, please have mercy…”

Bo Chengli collapsed, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, completely losing the confident and composed demeanor he had before.

The looks from the crowd were like they were regarding a fool.

“Oh, so you do know fear?”

“We all thought you were just looking for death!”

Hong Qianye laughed, a smile that sent shivers down the spine, towering over him with a mocking tone,

“Heh, I still appreciated your earlier confident self. Keep it up; don’t stop.”

Seeing the smile on her face towards him, Bo Chengli’s heart began to race, and overwhelming terror surged within him.

But a sliver of survival instinct kept him from giving up.

“Your Excellency was just joking, right? Are you still recruiting? I’d willingly risk anything for you!”

Bo Chengli, feeling the walls closing in, suggested wanting to join the cult, even if it meant being a servant.

“Dream on!” the group scoffed, bursting into laughter.

You little fool, you insulted the great Sect Leader in front of everyone! Even if it was a misunderstanding from start to finish, the charges are already established—it’s hard enough for you to still be alive, let alone join the cult!

“Pfft, keep dreaming!”

“Okay, I accept.”

Hong Qianye’s eyes narrowed slightly, examining Bo Chengli as if appraising a toy, her smile containing a chilling depth.

“What?!”

The group was greatly shocked; the Sect Leader actually showed mercy to this kind of person?

“Thank you, Sect Leader! I’m deeply grateful!” Bo Chengli excitedly bowed in gratitude.

But for some reason, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the way she looked at him suggested something bad was about to happen.

“Tsk, tsk, you’re getting a bit ahead of yourself.”

Hong Qianye’s playful smile deepened, her finger gently pointing at him.

Buzz~

A terrifying power surged into Bo Chengli’s body, sealing his cultivation like chains.

Bo Chengli’s complexion changed, cold sweat dripping down his face as he nervously asked, “S-Sect Leader, you’ve sealed my cultivation! How am I supposed to serve you now?”

The more he thought about it, the more scared he got; with his cultivation sealed, he had an Immortal Emperor’s body but couldn’t exhibit any of its power—any random underling could overpower him, which felt extremely unsafe!

“Looking at you, you must have been constantly pursuing others, right? You must’ve been quite love-starved. As the Sect Leader, I’ll give you special care,”

“Don’t worry, there will be many male members who’ll take good care of you in the days to come…”

Hong Qianye’s eyes sparkled with amusement, yet her words were ice-cold, each syllable heavy with implication.

Boom!

Bo Chengli’s head felt like it was about to explode, goosebumps covered his skin, and a chilling dread swept over him.

He wasn’t an idiot; he knew exactly what that meant.

Have a bunch of guys take good care of him?

That meant…

At the thought of this,

A look of panic crossed Bo Chengli’s face, and he frantically pleaded, “Sect Leader, please don’t joke with me! I really can’t handle this kind of care! Sect Leader!”

The subordinates finally realized, thinking the Sect Leader was truly formidable.

Bo Chengli crawled like a dog to Hong Qianye’s feet, pitifully begging, “Sect Leader, please let me go! I truly regret it…”

Hong Qianye kicked him away, disgusted. “Didn’t you want love? Now that I’m letting you experience it, how dare you refuse?”

Swish!

An overwhelming killing intent enveloped him, sending a shiver down Bo Chengli’s spine, leaving him entwined with despair and fear.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of terrifying days awaited him…

“Someone, take him away and lock him up! I’ll handle this personally. When I return, everything will settle!”

Hong Qianye pulled out a half mask, placing it over his face, revealing only her delicate nose, bright red lips, and elegantly shaped jaw.

Even so, her allure only intensified, adding a captivating mystery.

She could reveal her true face in front of trusted subordinates, but once she stepped outside, under countless gazes, she had to remain cautious; her identity in the Dongsheng Immortal Domain was quite sensitive.

In this Immortal Domain, the Immortal Sovereign wasn’t the peak—there were reportedly more than a dozen Immortal Emperors.

So, better safe than sorry.

“We respectfully send off the Sect Leader!” the subordinates said, suppressing their inner excitement and anticipation.

Swish!

Hong Qianye transformed into a red rainbow and vanished into the distant sky.

“Sect Leader! Sect Leader!”

Bo Chengli cried out in despair.

He really regretted coming to this godforsaken place.

And now, he was caught up in this unfortunate mess.

“Hey, quit your barking!”

A tall man, exuding a menacing aura with a face full of muscle, whipped out a heavy black iron chain and threw it, wrapping it around Bo Chengli’s neck.

“Ugh,”

Bo Chengli struggled desperately, but it was all in vain—his face turned a shade of purple, eyes bulging, legs kicking wildly.

Then he was dragged across the ground like a dead dog by the rough member.

“This punk is gonna have a rough time ahead.”

“Heh, serves him right for being such an idiot, daring to provoke the Sect Leader. This punishment is well-deserved.”

“When the Fire Cult rises again, I’m sure many guys will want to try their luck with him.”

“Tsk, tsk, I think he’s in for a serious beating now~”

Watching Bo Chengli getting dragged further away, the crowd chatted amongst themselves, their words dripping with derision.

“No, please don’t…”

Bo Chengli was being choked, turning breathless, his eyes rolling back as he felt profound helplessness and despair.

Who would have thought that back when he was prominent in the North Cold Immortal Domain, he had used his techniques to enslave countless female cultivators and even cuckolded many male peers, living the life of a free spirit and trampling on others’ dignity?
