Chapter 130: The Lotus of Yin and Yang Creation

This was a secret messaging technique she had learned from the Soul-Devouring Scripture, capable of bypassing the detection of other cultivators.

She whispered to the soul butterfly, her eyes filled with malice, "Li Qianjue, do you wish to possess Chu Yuyao? She has returned to the Heavenly Dao Sect, her beauty fully restored, and she is three parts more stunning than Hua Shuying. Three days from now, at the Hour of the Rat, the barrier at the forbidden grounds behind the sect will be at its weakest. It is a golden opportunity."

The soul butterfly fluttered its wings and vanished into a wisp of cyan smoke.

...

In the Sect Master’s Main Hall, Chu Yuyao sat with her legs crossed.

He remained worried that this prefect who had defected to the enemy was merely trying to swindle him into paying a ransom for his life, only to kill him afterward to appease the pirates, leaving him with nothing but shattered hopes, his life lost, and his wealth stolen.

However, the old man walking slowly toward them showed no reaction to any of this. He walked calmly to the tea table, set the tea tray down gently, and then began to lay out the tea set piece by piece.

Chen Shufen looked at Gu Shibang with helpless frustration. It was a true headache—having missed out on a young talent like that, who knew what price she would have to pay to bring him into her fold now?

For the sake of his own house, the Eastern Border Commander had no choice but to grit his teeth and protect Chai Jin. And no matter how capricious or absurd the court officials were, they could only compromise in the end.

Its function was to incinerate the cultivation base, life force, and potential within a Divine Path expert, converting and stacking them to unleash a terrifying power several times greater than the original.

This display of might alone was enough to terrify people; let alone the Song people, who were accustomed to gentleness and safety, even the savage and brutal Khitan warriors would be filled with dread.

Liang Youren found it strange himself why he had suddenly decided to change his words. He shook his head and walked into the teaching building.

The star-speckled night sky suddenly transformed; above their heads, a vivid, movie-like scene began to play, complete with sound as realistic as the world itself.

Waving his hand, Lin Wuya smiled slightly. "You all keep praising him one after another; if the child Tianjie becomes arrogant, I shall blame you elders, haha..." Although he said this, it was clear that Lin Wuya was quite satisfied with his disciple's performance.

Bai Xuening, however, was deeply worried, repeatedly stressing how powerful the demon was. In the end, Meng Xiongfei suggested that everyone simply move in with him. With many people, there was strength, and they would have nothing to fear. Besides, he had Ma Tao there as a formidable umbrella of protection.

Dr. Li nodded. As he left, his gaze inadvertently swept over Ashu, and a look of surprise crossed his face, though it vanished as quickly as it appeared, leaving both Ashu and Feng Zhong oblivious to anything unusual.

Wennuan was helpless and had to reach out and pull his arm. Only then did he use her strength to sit passively beside her, though the expression on his face did not soften much; he remained just as resentful and pitiful.

He closed the door and walked over step by step, stopping half a pace away from her. He looked at her gloomily, saying nothing. His expression... Wennuan found it hard to describe; she only felt an indescribable sense of awkwardness.

He looked back to avoid the hospital attendants while running toward the recreational area. Just as he was about to catch his breath, he turned and collided head-on with someone behind him.

What should be said and what should not—this extraordinary event was something they didn't fully understand, but they knew that if the outside world found out, it would likely bring danger. Since Sister An forbade them from speaking, she naturally didn't want them to know too much. Still, Sister An's sudden fainting spell had left the brothers deeply worried.

The entire capital knew that the Emperor valued this wedding, so the families associated with the Ban household spared no expense when sending their congratulatory gifts. Jewelry, ornaments, ancient books, and paintings were delivered to the Ban residence one after another.

When Qi Nianmei saw her, she immediately broke free from Ji Jinyu and sprinted toward her. Seeing the rhythm of her dash, Wennuan paused in surprise. Huh?

As it turned out, no sooner had this thought crossed her mind, and she was about to eat another piece, than she noticed the burning gaze fixed upon her hand intensify. Suspicious, she looked up at the person who was staring unblinkingly at... her hand.
