51 We didn't come Unprepared
Ely managed to take down the previous bad guys easily thanks to her Mortal Field passive skill, then with an ambush attack assisted by her disciples.
Her attack was mediocre, but it was still super effective, especially with the help of the holy artifacts.
She had just arrived where Yuuki and Jophiel were, but the situation there seemed somewhat ambiguous. The enemies' faces looked dreamy, their smile was a bit weird, and they rolled their eyes up in a trance as if they had just reached the peak of pleasure.
Nevertheless, the enemies had already fallen into Jophiel's illusion. No battle occurred.
"You're back, Ely. They only sent the small fish." Yuuki greeted. She didn't need to make her move as Ely's disciple was capable.
"Ahem, yeah, you're right. But what's with this situation?" Ely glanced at Jophiel.
"I, I just amplify the random desire. I don't know, I don't know they will become like that." Jophiel blushed badly from embarrassment. She hoped the amplified desire was depression or laziness, but that was another kind of lust amplifier bullet.
"Alright, knock them out." Ely only gave short orders, and her disciples did their jobs nimbly.
"People from Frozen Cloud asked me to return, but I refused. They also said they would allow you to enter as my direct disciple. It seems the palace has split into two factions. Please treat them with a little consideration. They are not that bad." Yuuki tugged at the hem of Ely's sleeve.
"Alright." Ely nodded in understanding, and her disciples spared the people from Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.
However, the enemies were still tied up like prisoners and thrown into the hostage pouch after Ely drained their spiritual power to prevent resistance.
"Let's go back." Ely breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet, someone suddenly descended from the sky and landed near them. The green-scaled big guy floated three centimeters above the ground. He swung his giant mace and set up a barrier to seal any escape path.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, beautiful ladies? The night is still young."
*Swoosh!*
Yuuki made her move before the dust faded, but the other party reflected her ice bullets, and the rest stopped mid-air. Her ice then spiked up and sealed the enemy's lower half, but it collapsed a second later.
"Keke, you're surprised, right? Even though you're a Demi-God, we didn't come unprepared. Thanks to a particular magic item, I can suppress your ice abilities." The Green Snake Emperor sneered as he pointed at the magic item on his chest.
He then glanced at the nine-tailed shadow fox, the younger sister of his primary target. He immediately slithered super fast to take her hostage.
"!?" Ely's self-defense instinct kicked in.
Her Flawless Perception was effective for the two-meter radius with her as the pivot. Time passed so slowly, almost to the point of time stopping, and the big green snake guy tried to catch her in slow motion.
Her movement was also quite slow within her Flawless Perception scope of the domain, but it was still faster than the big bad guy. She used her Gohei to precisely smack his smug face hard on the 13:39
cheek.
*Smack* *Bam* *Whamp*
The big bad guy received tremendous spiritual damage. Moreover, Yuuki and Ely's disciples beat up that big guy mercilessly.
He staggered from the impact and fell like a broken doll. He was knocked out.
"Whew..." Yuuki was ready to use her extreme ice secret technique to protect Ely. Yet, Ely was more capable than she thought.
She knew Ely was the evil nemesis. Ely's attack was simple and could barely deal any damage. However, the impact multiplied many times depending on the enemy's evil.
Not to mention, the damage bypassed any defense and directly hit one's spirit and soul. So, no matter how strong the enemy was, as long as they were evil, they would suffer tremendously from Ely's blow.
Also, Ely's evil suppression skill was beyond impressive. It was super effective at suppressing the evil's overall strength to the mortal level.
Qi, mana, and spiritual energy could also be sealed. It was just a simple smack from a wooden wand, a holy artifact, and the 8th Rank expert could do nothing against it.
"Uh-huh, that surprised me." Ely breathed a sigh of relief. It was only natural to target the weakest one as a hostage. Her heart skipped a beat as it was truly dangerous.
"He targeted the strongest one, thinking our master was easy prey to be taken hostage. This ugly guy just overestimated himself." Jophiel snorted sarcastically.
"He is the Green Snake Emperor. The despicable, vicious, and poisonous snake-kin from the distant east. Allow me to handle him, Ely." Yuuki pulled Ely back to a safe distance.
'I'm sorry, but the weakest one is none other than me...' Ely cried in her mind. She let Yuuki handle the rest.
Yuuki then took all the artifacts and valuables from the Snake Emperor. She seized everything except his underwear.
After that, she smacked him with an ice hammer to crush his scales until he was black and blue. Once satisfied, she tied him tightly and handed him over to Ely.
"Wow..." Ely didn't want to comment on anything, but she could tell Yuuki had a grievance with this Green Snake Emperor. She drained his spiritual energy, then threw him into the hostage pouch.
"Let's go back now." Ely checked her surroundings. The barrier was already collapsed. There shouldn't be any more threats lurking in the darkness.
Ely, Yuuki, and the girls then left the vicinity. They returned to their hotel room after taking some precautions.

"Phew, a warm shower after a tiring day is life. I'm sleepy now." Ely rubbed her eyes and yawned as she came out of the bathroom.
"You can go to bed first, Ely." Yuuki patted the bed.
"Um, I really appreciate it. Then, please excuse me." Ely lay down on the bed and wrapped herself in a blanket.
It only took a few minutes, and she fell fast asleep.
"Shall we go outside? I'm sure you want to discuss some things with me." Yuuki pointed her thumb at the private outdoor pool.
"Hmm." Remiel nodded in agreement. She had been waiting for the opportunity to speak privately with this new elder.
"OK." Uriel readily agreed. She wanted to know about something too.
"What about me?" Jophiel pointed at her face with a confused look. They excluded her on purpose!
"Take a good shower, sleep next to Ely, and look after your master well. Can you do that?" Yuuki opened the glass door and glanced at the sleeping Ely.
"Okay~" Jophiel readily agreed.
Yuuki, Uriel, and Remiel sat on wooden lounge chairs by the pool.
"Master is even willing to get involved in trouble and offend the two holy lands just for you. However, may we know your intentions and goals?" Uriel didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the main point.
"Do you know why the nine-tailed fox is classified as a legendary creature, but we are still hunted down by those people?" Yuuki was unhurried in her response.
"That's because nine-tailed foxes are famous for their prowess and unfathomable illusion. However, many people desired the fox-kin physique or body constitution?" Uriel was curious about the truth since information about the nine-tailed fox was scarce.
"That's because we are seen as precious Mythical-tier elixir to improve one's cultivation by many powerhouses. They crave our beauty, body, blood, and soul to refine, commonly known as the legendary furnace." Yuuki replied with a faint smirk, but her eyes flashed a cold aura.
"!!!" Uriel and Remiel gasped. They didn't know it, but the truth was surprising beyond their expectations.
So, Yuuki had lived a very difficult life. If this snow fox didn't have unfathomable power, then it was clear the fate that would await Yuuki would be dire. No wonder the fox spirit and its kin were almost extinct in this Terra World...
Their master tried to save Yuuki and punish the bad guys!
"Ely is my sworn sister, long before you met her. However, an unexpected event separated us five years ago. Ely was a young human girl back then, and she was the first one who gave me warm shelter and taught me the meaning of life. She gave me a place I can call home and invited me to her family."
After saying that, Yuuki proceeded to ask Uriel and Remiel a few things. She wanted to make sure they were good variables for Ely's causes.
She had seen much tragedy and misery in the master-disciple relationship. Because of that, she didn't want Ely to suffer from betrayal or anything like that.
Oh no, they have a method to suppress ice techniques. However, they chose the wrong opponent.
