Chapter 459: The Mysterious Girl

“Two fairies, are you here to see my master?”
Lao He originally thought that Fei Yun and Ye Lan must not be looking for him but rather had matters to discuss with their master. Unexpectedly, he was wrong this time.
“No, we’re here for you!”
Fei Yun descended from the clouds and said directly, “This matter can only be handled by you.”
“Oh?”
Not only was Lao He greatly surprised, but Su Che was too. He remained silent, watching quietly.
“There’s a girl in our sect who gives us a very strange feeling. I suspect she’s hiding a significant secret,” Fei Yun said softly.
Over the years spent in the World of Immortal Prison, Fei Yun and Ye Lan had become close friends. A few years ago, out of curiosity, they founded a cultivation sect named “Cloud Blue Sky.”
In just a few years, the sect’s scale couldn’t be large—there were only a few hundred disciples, all women.
Of course, with Su Che and Lao He’s support, it wouldn’t be a problem for “Cloud Blue Sky” to grow into a large sect with tens of thousands of members. Just assign them a Yuan Ying-stage cultivator and a dozen Jin Dan-stage servants to establish the core framework of the sect.
But Fei Yun and Ye Lan didn’t need Su Che to do that. What they wanted was to enjoy the process of striving hard and achieving results through their own efforts—that was true success.
Moreover, they didn’t have great ambitions; they had no intention of dominating the cultivation world. They founded the sect merely to create a warm home for themselves.
At this moment, after hearing what Fei Yun had said, Lao He couldn’t help but laugh, “In life, who doesn’t have secrets? If a girl has a little secret, why force her to reveal it?”
“That’s not it,” Ye Lan interjected. “When facing this girl, I often feel a rather terrifying sensation. I always sense that there’s some extremely horrible power hidden within her, which will one day bring immeasurable disaster to those around her, even to many others.”
“Is that so?” Lao He turned his gaze to Fei Yun and asked, “Do you feel the same?”
“My feeling isn’t as obvious as Ye Lan’s,” Fei Yun replied. “But when I’m alone with her, I sometimes experience a vague sense of unease. It’s a bit confusing, but it’s certainly uncomfortable.”
“So eerie?”

This made Lao He extremely curious. After all, at this stage, Fei Yun still possessed a certain amount of Immortal Essence energy in her body. Even powerful cultivators in the later stages of the Refining Void realm would be helpless against her thanks to the two ultimate techniques of “Great Instant Transmission” and “Great Invisibility”. So, anything that could make her feel such anxiety surely couldn’t be simple.

However, hundreds of billions of beings from Qi Yuan Star had all migrated to the Immortal Prison World. With such a huge population, it was only natural that there would be a few individuals with extraordinary traits.

“If someone like that exists within our sect, it would be fine if we didn’t know about it. But since both Night Blue and I have a bad feeling about it, it’s best to take precautions and investigate things in advance,” Fei Yun added. “Lao He, don’t you agree?”

“Such a trivial matter? No problem!” Lao He agreed readily.

Yun Tianlan was located on a beautifully scenic island in the middle of a lake. Of course, no matter how magnificent the scenery was, it was all created by Su Che and Lao He, the two rulers of the Immortal Prison.

Every building on the island was exquisitely designed and seamlessly integrated with the surrounding environment. Yun Tianlan itself gave off a sense of ethereal purity, as if a peerless fairy was immersed in crystal-clear lake water, radiating breathtaking beauty.

As a result, Su Che had thought many times about visiting this place, but he was unable to enter the Immortal Prison, making even such a simple wish unattainable.

It was a perfect world entirely his own, created by him. Yet, as its master, he couldn’t even experience it firsthand—which was indeed regrettable.

Su Che had been hesitating. He had set the function of the fifth layer of the Immortal Prison as “forcibly stealing others’ skills”. So, should the sixth layer in the future be set up so that he could also enter the Immortal Prison?

But wouldn’t such a setting be a waste? To allow himself to enter the Immortal Prison, would it be unwise to sacrifice its powerful functions in other areas?

Of course, these were matters for later. There was no need to make a decision right away. After all, to unlock the fifth layer, Su Che needed to reach the Divine Transformation stage; to unlock the sixth layer, he would need to reach the Refining Void stage.

Judging from now, it would take at least a hundred years to advance through these two stages.

At this moment, Fei Yun and Ye Lan brought Lao Hei to Yun Lan Tian, where they encountered a group of beautiful girls bathing by the lake. Each of them was dressed only in tight underwear, their delicate and curvaceous bodies faintly visible, adding a stunningly imaginative beauty to the entire island in the lake.
Seeing Fei Yun and Ye Lan flying over from afar, the girls playing in the water created waves and cheered joyfully to greet their two masters. However, they could not see Lao Hei, whose imposing figure resembled that of a demon king.
Although Lao Hei did not know anything about “great invisibility techniques,” within the Immortal Prison, he could accomplish many things even more miraculous than those of the great Dao techniques.
For example, right now, Fei Yun and Ye Lan could clearly see Lao Hei beside them, while no one else could detect him at all. There was no need for any logic or method—anything Lao Hei could think of could be realized within the Immortal Prison.
Su Che had also thought that one day, he and Lao Hei would perfect their own Dao within the Immortal Prison world, creating three thousand Dao techniques unique to it, for those who sought power to study, comprehend, and master gradually. The best among them would reach the pinnacle of power in this world, dominating all others. He and Lao Hei would never interfere but would merely observe them quietly.
Such observation was, in itself, a kind of pleasure, wasn’t it? A pleasure only the supreme Dao could appreciate…
A few breaths later, in one of the palaces on Yun Lan Tian’s island, Lao Hei met the girl mentioned by Fei Yun and Ye Lan. She was only fifteen years old, petite and delicate, with an innocent expression. Although she too could not see Lao Hei, her gaze toward Fei Yun and Ye Lan revealed clear signs of affection and reverence.
At first glance, both Su Che and Lao Hei were puzzled: How could such an innocent and adorable girl, seemingly without any scheming, give Fei Yun and Ye Lan that inexplicable “fearful” feeling?
But after Fei Yun and Ye Lan casually spoke with her for a few words, Lao Hei, hiding nearby, thought to Su Che, “Oh no!” before immediately reporting, “Master, this girl is truly strange. There are tons of people talking in her head. As an eavesdropper, I’m driven crazy by their noise.”
“Tons of people talking?” Su Che asked curiously. “Split personality? Multiple completely different people acting at the same time in her mind?”
“No!”

Lao He replied immediately, “It’s definitely not her acting it herself. It seems as if a dozen or so completely independent thoughts lurk in her mind. One could say this girl is truly complex and terrifying. The innocence and simplicity she shows now are undoubtedly pretenses.”
Su Che ordered in his heart, “Listen carefully to their conversations, figure out what’s going on, and then report to me.”
“Okay, master,” Lao He replied before beginning to carefully explore the world in that girl’s mind.
Taking advantage of this moment, Su Che pondered silently, “This girl is only fifteen years old. That means she was born after the celestial warning, and on Qi Yuan Star. Could it be that she’s also related to the Witch Tribe’s rebellion?”
“If she truly was born as a result of a fateful event, then what is her identity? Does she belong to the Immortal Realm or represent the Witch Tribe?”
