Chapter 185: Only Playing It Real, Cursing You to Your Face
"Mu Yunqing's aura isn't weaker than Feng Ruoli's?"
Hearing Wen Zhixing's words, Si Nanyan slightly furrowed her eyebrows, a flicker of astonishment crossing her mind.
How could that be? Feng Ruoli's strength was on par with mine. Doesn't this mean that Mu Yunqing's strength is no weaker than my own? That little furnace from back then… could his cultivation have actually reached the Sixth Realm?
"Is what you say really true?"
Si Nanyan narrowed her eyes slightly, her beautiful pupils filled with a cold light.
If that's indeed the case, then the severity of the situation is greater than I anticipated. Then, Mu Yunqing is truly terrifying. In such a short time, he has already caught up to my cultivation level. What if he's given more time? How could I possibly be Mu Yunqing's match then? This time, Mu Yunqing must be taken down without fail.
"Palace master, I can guarantee the truth of this matter with my life."
Wen Zhixing bowed slightly, his tone filled with solemnity.
Right now, he wished nothing more than to reveal all of Mu Yunqing's cards to Si Nanyan. To him, compared to Wonderous Palace, Mu Yunqing was even more troublesome. If this calamity isn't dealt with soon, the trouble will be real. Once Mu Yunqing is out of the picture, settling accounts with Wonderous Palace afterward won't be too late.
"Let's go. We must deal with Mu Yunqing first."
Si Nanyan took a deep breath, her complexion turning unusually flushed with excitement.
"Palace master, do not forget about the other powerhouses from the Righteous Sun Sect."
Wen Zhixing reminded her once again upon hearing this.
"This…"
Si Nanyan immediately realized her oversight. She had been too excited and had completely neglected Wen Zhixing's previous reminder. Indeed. First, I should shut down the array method, let Shi Yan and the others leave, and then I'll be able to deal with Mu Yunqing without any worries.
"But this Mu Yunqing is cunning by nature. If I were to shut down the array method, he might not dare to make a move, or he might even take the initiative to flee."
Si Nanyan's eyes flickered, revealing a trace of contemplation. It's a bit troublesome. I'm now worried that if I let Shi Yan go, Mu Yunqing might also escape. Yet, if we don't let Shi Yan leave, the two of us wouldn't have any absolute certainty of winning in a two-against-two situation. Moreover, beyond the array method, there's also Xu An lying in wait.
"You need not worry, palace master. Just attack with all your might. Those powerhouses from the Righteous Sun Sect will surely have cards in their hands to counterattack. At that time, palace master, you can then open the array method opportunistically."
Wen Zhixing lifted his head slightly, speaking in a very proper and deliberate manner.
"You're right."
Si Nanyan nodded slightly, a look of approval on her face. This devil servant of mine is indeed much smarter than the average members of the devil race.
"But if I were to leave, what should be done when Mu Yunqing arrives?"
Si Nanyan frowned again. While the array method is active, I'm not worried about Mu Yunqing running away. But once the array method is shut down, Mu Yunqing can escape whenever he pleases.
"Palace master, I possess a Devil Secret Skill that can temporarily hold Mu Yunqing back." Wen Zhixing said, a confident smile on his face, "My cultivation has also broken through to the Fifth Realm. Even if there are unexpected events, I can barely withstand them."
"Oh?"
Si Nanyan's eyebrows immediately raised, her alluring eyes showing a hint of surprise. The Fifth Realm, huh? Such a rapid rate of cultivation. But it makes sense. Wang Shouzhen's Constitution was indeed special. I've experienced the power of the Inverted Phoenix Nurturing Body before. Lately, I even handed over both Bai Luqiu and Liu Qingdai to him for essence absorption. It wasn't impossible for Wang Shouzhen to rapidly cultivate to the Fifth Realm.
"Good, not bad." Si Nanyan nodded slightly, her rosy lips curving up. "Alright, I'll leave it all to you then."
Take down Mu Yunqing, plant the devil seed, and make him my most loyal devil servant.
"It's an honor to serve you, palace master."
Wen Zhixing bowed, a trace of joy inadvertently surfacing on his face.
Upon hearing this, Si Nanyan's eyes twinkled like stars. She then extended her slender, fair fingers to lightly touch Wen Zhixing's lips, a seductive smile on her face, "After this matter is settled, I will personally assist you in your cultivation as a reward."
Your Yang Qi is full. You can release it!
Your Yang Qi is full. You can release it!
Your Yang Qi is full. You can release it!
"This…"
Wen Zhixing felt an intense rush of blood upon hearing these words. His body trembled with excitement. Even though it wasn't their first time sparring, his body still reacted with that instinctive desire.
"I'll be back soon."
Si Nanyan's luscious lips parted slightly, her voice soft and sultry. Her eyes, as she looked at Wen Zhixing, seemed to overflow with moisture. After saying this, she swayed her slender waist and departed gracefully.
The plan changed again: activate the array method, let the others go, and leave Mu Yunqing behind.
「...」
"It has begun."
As soon as Si Nanyan left, Wen Zhixing's expression quickly returned to normal.
Si Nanyan's seduction was just that. My body might not be able to resist, but my heart is unaffected. I was just playing along with the act.
The situation is now clear; all that's needed is to wait for Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli to return to deal with Mu Yunqing. Besides, I do indeed possess a secret skill that can hold Mu Yunqing back: the Unfounded Curse. My cultivation has now reached the Fifth Realm, only one realm behind Mu Yunqing, who is at the Sixth Realm. The backlash shouldn't be as severe as it was before. With Mu Yunqing cursed, I don't believe he could still win a two-on-one fight.
With these thoughts in mind, his gaze slowly shifted towards Zhang Tiancheng, who was not far away.
Up until now, Zhang Tiancheng had yet to speak, as if he were a wooden figure.
"Zhang..."
Wen Zhixing was about to greet him but then slowly swallowed the words that were about to slip out. A strange, inexplicable sensation crept into his heart. Perhaps it's because Zhang Tiancheng is no longer the Zhang Tiancheng I knew before, which makes me feel this sense of unfamiliarity.
