"Time to move on to the next one."

...

At the edge of the cliff, Lin Xian'er coughed up three liters of blood, never expecting that her Myriad Paths Slave Scripture would have no effect on Yu Xiyan.

Yu Xiyan took a deep breath, and as the shackles binding her body were removed, she felt incredibly relaxed.

She slowly stood up and looked at Lin Xian'er, whose face was pale.

"How does it feel to suffer from the backlash of this secret technique?"

Lin Xian'er was shocked: "This is impossible! How did you do that!"

Yu Xiyan snorted: "Heh, to be honest, I don't know what happened either. I just felt that the moment you planted the slave mark on me..."

A surge of immense power erupted within me, forcefully destroying the enslaved seed you had implanted deep within my soul.

So this time, you failed.

A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Lin Xian'er's mouth. Looking at Yu Xiyan's long-lost haughty demeanor, she wished she could strangle her to death.

However, the backlash from the slave seal caused her spiritual energy to stagnate in her meridians, making it impossible for her to use her true essence in her dantian.

"interesting!"

Yue Beiqing suddenly spoke with a smile.

"Although I don't know what you were talking about just now, I think you are a good woman."

After saying that, he extended his hand.

"If you become my woman and bear my children, I will help you reach the pinnacle of life."

"Ha... Do you even deserve it?"

Yu Xiyan's contemptuous attitude immediately added a touch of coldness to Yue Beiqing's already cold face.

"No one can refuse me. What I want to conquer, whether it's money, power, or women, will never escape me, and you will be no exception!"

"You think you're qualified to conquer me? Yue Beiqing, do you think every woman in the world falls head over heels in love with you? I really don't know where your inexplicable confidence and sense of superiority come from."

"I don't care whether you love me or not, because I'm confident I can mold you into the person I want you to be. Right here, I can make you belong to me completely!"

After saying that, Yue Beiqing raised his hand and was about to tear off Yu Xiyan's clothes again.

Yu Xiyan's expression hardened, and she instinctively took two steps back, intending to fight to the death.

Just then, a series of booming sounds rang out outside Shenmen Pass.

"What happened?"

Yue Beiqing immediately turned around to look.

But then Bai Qi's army abandoned defense and launched an attack, heading straight for Chenlong Pass.

"Um?"

Yue Beiqing, who instinctively sensed something was wrong, revealed a solemn expression.

"The Demon Breath Army has been defeated? There's no reason for that."

Just as he was wondering, he heard steady footsteps behind him.

"You seem to be deep in thought; do you have many questions?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice behind him, Yue Beiqing's expression suddenly stiffened, a rare occurrence for him.

"Let me guess. You must be wondering why the Demon Breath Army abandoned its offensive, and why Bai Qi's garrison chose to launch an attack despite being at a significant disadvantage in troop strength?"

Jiang Haitian approached step by step until he passed Yu Xiyan and stood five steps behind Yue Beiqing.

"Ha... I understand."

Yue Beiqing sneered, having figured out the key point.

"As the saying goes, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind,' you are the real mastermind!"

"wrong!"

Jiang Haitian responded immediately.

"It doesn't matter who is the oriole and who is the cicada, as long as I am the one holding the slingshot, that's enough!"

"Hahaha! Very good!"

Yue Beiqing smiled.

"Yesterday was only our first meeting, but I already felt that you were no ordinary person. I never imagined that you would have such a grand scheme, even ensnaring me."

He suddenly turned around, and the imperial pressure generated a strong wind that directly destroyed all the surrounding rocks and plants.

"Then, I have another question: even if you are shrewd and calculating, do you have enough military force to protect everything you have acquired?"

Jiang Haitian stopped playing with the water and fire beads in his hands and pushed up his sunglasses.

"You are welcome to try and see if I have the ability."
