Chapter 37 037 Yin Wujiu is her ultimate weapon

At Su Xin Sect, a severed head was held in Lin Lanyou's hand and pulled out by her; it was bloody and quite horrifying.

It is the head of Lin Xuean, the leader of the Suxin Sect.

A dead head is never a pretty sight, not to mention Lin Xuean's face was quite ferocious, and he looked very resentful.

Lin Lanyou also disliked that Lin Xuean's death was unsightly, but for the sake of deterrence, she couldn't care less.

There are advantages to working under Young Master Mu, namely that only ability matters and there are no complicated procedures.

For example, when Jiang Bin annihilated the Bixia Sect, he also found a pretext, using Elder Mei Fei as a figurehead for justice, and then destroyed Mei Yue's Dao heart and crushed her spirit. This convoluted process, along with the preliminary preparations, took more than a year.

Lin Lanyou led her men and got the job done in just half a day.

Although it was a temporary task, with the help of a divine aura bestowed by Young Master Mu, it was completed quite smoothly.

Lin Lanyou dared not take credit, but in her heart she praised Young Master Mu, for it was all thanks to the Lord!

The resistance from the Suxin Sect was quite fierce. While the Yaoguang Sect suffered over 700 casualties, the entire Suxin Sect lost nearly 5,000. It wasn't that the Yaoguang disciples weren't fierce, but rather that the Suxin Sect resorted to underhanded tactics.

The Yao Guang disciples who died in battle did so entirely voluntarily, but the Su Xin Sect resorted to some underhanded tactics.

Originally, the reforms of the four sects allowed disciples to come and go freely without restriction, essentially operating on an employment system. These sects, large and small, retained members based on their abilities and promoted them according to their strength, which was perfectly acceptable.

However, disciples of the Suxin Sect must sign a life contract.

After signing the life contract, his life and death were tied to Lin Xue'an's; whether he wanted to or not, he would live and die with the sect leader.

The reason why Yuan Yuantian doesn't care is because the Su Xin Sect emphasizes voluntariness and does not force anyone.

However, signing a sworn brotherhood will grant you more resources, access to more cultivation techniques, and a faster promotion within the sect.

If a disciple in the sect wants to make progress, they have to grit their teeth and sign the life contract.

Such voluntariness becomes forced voluntariness.

People usually have a sense of complacency, but when it comes to life and death, they have no choice but to fight to the death.

However, Young Master Mu's fierce subordinates were not tolerated, and they were all killed.

The scene was a mess. Half of the Suxinmen complex had collapsed and looked somewhat dilapidated. There were also quite a few corpses scattered on the ground, with pools of blood and bodies lying here and there.

However, unlike the bustling noise that filled the mountains when Yaoguang Sect was destroyed, the scene was eerily quiet.

The corpses lay still on the ground, and the surviving disciples of the Suxin Sect all wore an eerie silence, clearly still shaken, their eyes filled with a detached fear.

Lin Lanyou felt that it was good to be quiet.

With everyone living in peace and tranquility, Lin Lanyou's work can be completed ahead of schedule, preventing the need to kill a few more people.

Lin Lanyou prefers to be more amicable when carrying out missions.

He had already reached the Heart Tree of the Pure Heart Gate and conjured a magic sword.

Lin Lanyou's magic sword has an ancient and simple design, with the two characters "Qing Li" on it. It had just been used in a battle, and the blood on the sword was still wet.

Su Xin Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the number one sect in the second level of heaven. It has a total of three cultivators at the half-immortal level. Therefore, Shen Zhiwei said that they should fight to the death, and Lin Xuean also felt that they could compete.

This strength is actually comparable to some sects in the third level of heaven.

Of course, that was then. Now, the three half-immortal cultivators in the Suxin Sect have been killed, and the entire Qiaoxin Tree is no longer as bright.

Lin Lanyou gathered her sword energy and poured it in fiercely, thrusting deeply.

The moment the sword energy was poured in, cracks appeared on the entire tree, which then shattered into pieces, creating a series of tinkling, crystal-clear sounds.

The entire tree collapsed and shattered into pieces.

The Pure Heart Sect, established for 763 years, has been destroyed today.

Shen Zhiwei had only been in the second level of heaven for half a month. Although he hadn't done anything major, the plot was progressing quite quickly, and he had already destroyed two sects.

Shen Zhiwei had already neatly embroidered the peony flowers, and Yin Wujiu entered.

Shen Zhiwei did not allow anyone else to enter this place, but Yin Wujiu was an exception. Everyone in the Bixia Sect knew that Yin Wujiu was quite favored by Shen Zhiwei, and among everyone, Shen Zhiwei treated Yin Wujiu differently.

Once they reached the second level, she no longer concealed her relationship with Yin Wujiu, and it gradually became public knowledge.

Yin Wujiu was gentle and did not like to fight with others. He was also fair in his actions, and the disciples of his sect respected him greatly.

Shen Zhiwei, still holding the needle between her fingers, smiled gently and asked, "Is there any good news?"

Yin Wujiu nodded and said, "There's been some activity from the Suxin Sect. It's said that Young Master Mu sent someone."

Shen Zhiwei didn't ask who won or lost. Since Mu Wuxian had sent his subordinates to handle the matter, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

Mu Wuxian is an exceptionally intelligent person, with unparalleled strategic acumen. Even in a small battle, the plans he devises, the special abilities he provides, and the personnel he dispatches are all perfectly timed, ensuring there will be no mishaps.

According to Shen Zhiwei's understanding of him, Mu Wuxian was an extremely contradictory and terrifying figure. Although he was good at scheming, his nature was very pure, and right and wrong were determined by his standards.

While Lin Xuean's use of his shattered soul to create a vessel was indeed presumptuous, he himself allowed those remnant soul clones to roam around, and in reality, he didn't pay much attention to them.

This kind of stubbornness that is completely self-centered is truly pathological and terrifying.

So when Shen Zhiwei wanted to escape, although Mu Wuxian seemed to be very affectionate and easy to take advantage of, there were some things that Mu Wuxian was simply unaware of.

If Mu Wuxian were to discover the truth, he probably wouldn't tolerate her.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhiwei looked at the needle at her fingertips and couldn't help but sigh.

The Su Xin Sect ceased to exist after merely crafting a "sacrifice artifact," and Shen Zhiwei had secretly engaged in numerous shady dealings. She used the Soul Planting Technique to cause the dead to "come back to life," raising Yin Wujiu, which, by all accounts, is a forbidden technique of the fourth realm.

She could already guess how furious Mu Wuxian would be if he knew.

But is Yin Wujiu truly Mu Wuxian's clone? He is no ordinary clone; he has already developed a soul flower, thus enabling him to sense and influence Mu Wuxian.

Even if he wasn't devoured, Yin Wujiu should still be affected by his original body to some extent.

Shen Zhiwei remained secretly on guard, wondering when this gentle and refined senior brother would suddenly become domineering. After all, Mu Wuxian looked down upon the four realms, acting as if he were the only one worthy of respect, and was incredibly domineering.

Although Yin Wujiu inherited the original body's memories, it was impossible for him to maintain his original temperament forever.

Unexpectedly, over the years, Yin Wujiu's personality has remained unchanged, and he has always treated her with great gentleness and consideration.

Shen Zhiwei also had some doubts.

She asked Yin Wujiu to decorate this secret realm, saying it should be done according to his preferences. Yin Wujiu asked Shen Zhiwei what style she wanted, and Shen Zhiwei replied that whatever he liked was what she liked.

At that moment, Yin Wujiu's cheeks flushed slightly.

In private, Yin Wujiu seems to be very shy.

Even after all these years, Shen Zhiwei still couldn't understand it.

The arrangement here reflects Yin Wujiu's preferences, and is unlikely to be Shen Zhiwei's. After all, Shen Zhiwei is someone who loves excitement and luxury, and is not one to settle down easily.

The bamboo shadows and plum blossom fragrance, the babbling brook—this place is extremely elegant and peaceful.

Just like the feeling Yin Wujiu gave her, it was like a gentle, flowing stream, warm and clear.

Shen Zhiwei: Isn't it said that once a soul flower is born, it will be affected by the main body?

Given Yin Wujiu's state of mind, it's hard to believe he was influenced by the main body. Shen Zhiwei felt that something must have gone wrong.

If Yin Wujiu had truly been influenced by that Young Master Mu, he would never have looked so smug.

Could it be that Mu Wuxian, the unfathomable master of the Cloud Palace above the Four Realms, only wants to live this kind of life?

How could that be!

After all, Mu Wuxian has been acting crazy and irritable lately.

Shen Zhiwei couldn't figure out where things had gone wrong for a moment.

Yin Wujiu stood behind Shen Zhiwei, carefully smoothing her hair, and said softly, "I think the overall situation is settled, we will be fine, and things will go smoothly from now on."

As he said this, Yin Wujiu bent down and leaned in to touch Shen Zhiwei's face.

These actions were so familiar to them that the two of them had become accustomed to them, and they even had a bit of the air of an old married couple.

However, Shen Zhiwei avoided it this time.

Yin Wujiu was somewhat surprised.

Shen Zhiwei calmed down and explained softly, "I need to practice my martial arts during this period and abstain from romantic relationships. We won't be able to share a bed for a while."

She spoke with such confidence that, although Yin Wujiu was somewhat taken aback, he still nodded and said "okay" in accordance with Shen Zhiwei's meaning.

Shen Zhiwei certainly had her own plans. Although the hairpin that Young Master Mu placed on her head was only for positioning, who knew if there was any other ulterior motive?

Shen Zhiwei was always cautious. Although she enjoyed being intimate with Yin Wujiu, she felt there was no need to reveal any flaws for the sake of momentary pleasure.

She didn't want Mu Wuxian to find out about her shady dealings too soon.

Attracting Mu Wuxian's surveillance was an extremely risky move, but Shen Zhiwei also left herself a way to save herself.

She turned her head and looked at Yin Wujiu.

There is no doubt that Yin Wujiu's eyes are filled with tenderness and that he is deeply in love with her.

She also really liked Yin Wujiu.

Yin Wujiu has given birth to a soul flower, which is already a part of Mu Wuxian. After merging with Mu Wuxian, his feelings for himself will inevitably affect Mu Wuxian as well.

Moreover, Mu Wuxian himself also has some feelings for her, so this affection will be magnified infinitely, making it extremely difficult to resist.

Then she would have a chance to find a way to break through Mu Wuxian's heart.

For someone as flawless as Mu Wuxian, it's not easy to add even a small flaw.

Ideally, one should be able to provoke Mu Wuxian into losing his composure for one's own sake.

Although Mu Wuxian had some feelings for her in the past, he was also a person who cared a great deal about rules, and even though his rules were different from ordinary people's, they were even more unwavering. Therefore, although Mu Wuxian was interested in her, after learning about her plans, he might not be able to resist the urge to ruthlessly pursue her.

Shen Zhiwei couldn't place all her hopes on his affection for her.

He said he liked Shen Zhiwei, but Shen Zhiwei thought he was like a block of ice. Moreover, Mu Wuxian didn't know her true nature.

Therefore, all his affections were nothing more than rootless duckweed.

Thinking of these past events, she traced Yin Wujiu's face inch by inch with her fingers.

The area her fingers touched was warm, and she saw a burning heat appear in Yin Wujiu's gentle eyes. Shen Zhiwei was very satisfied.

Since Yin Wujiu was both infatuated and so useful, it was naturally a precious item that she cherished greatly.

Despite having this trump card that can generate the Soul Flower, Shen Zhiwei is cautious by nature and is not sure if she can really leave a gap in Mu Wuxian's heart.

To reiterate, she cannot place all her hopes on affection.

Therefore, even if one has endless desires for fishing, it is best not to reveal one's bottom if possible.

Shen Zhiwei smiled gently.

She ran her fingertips over the embroidered peony and asked, "Is it pretty?"

Yin Wujiu naturally replied, "It looks good."

Shen Zhiwei's cooking skills were really bad, but her embroidery skills were quite good. She looked at it again and again, feeling smug: "How about I embroider a new dress for Xiao Chan?"

Yin Wujiu imagined Shen Xiaochan's clothes embroidered with large red flowers and green leaves of peonies, and hesitated to speak.

Knowing that Yin Wujiu prided himself on his taste, Shen Zhiwei said irritably, "Just say what you have to say."

Yin Wujiu honestly said, "Peony flowers are exquisite and grand, and naturally possess a noble beauty. They can be embroidered on clothes, but one must be dressed up in a refined manner to avoid looking out of place and to exude an air of elegance and nobility. Xiao Chan is still quite lively and playful, and she doesn't like clothes that are all jingling and tinkling. I'm afraid it won't look good on her."

To put it bluntly, if you embroidered a few peonies on the clothes that Shen Xiaochan usually wears, it would definitely look tacky.

Shen Zhiwei said somewhat irritably, "Her birthday is in a month. What kind of new dress do you think I should get her?"

Yin Wujiu had already considered making Shen Xiaochun's birthday a big deal, and now he explained in detail: "You are familiar with the Ling family head. Her daughter, Ling Jingjing, entered Tianyuan Mansion five years earlier than Xiaochun and is one year older than her. Ling Jingjing is an outstanding female cultivator in her year, with the potential to become a sword immortal. She has won the top spot in the annual examinations several times, and there are quite a few young female cultivators who admire her."

“Now Ling Jingjing’s imitations are selling like hotcakes at Tianlingfang, and Xiao Chan has also hinted to me that she wants some.”

“Since you are acquainted with Lord Ling, ask for another item from Ling Jingjing’s childhood to be sent along with it. I bet Xiao Chan will be delighted.”

Shen Zhiwei had to admit that Yin Wujiu was quite shrewd.

She felt a pang of jealousy, thinking that her mother was always scheming and plotting, her mind preoccupied with the development of her sect, so she couldn't keep up with the trends of the kids.

Looking at the bright red peony she had embroidered, Shen Zhiwei found it rather dazzling.

Yin Wujiu then delivered the final blow: "If we were to get Ling Jingjing to sign her name on the clothes, guess what Xiao Chan would do—"

Do you even need to guess? Shen Xiaochun must be ecstatic to have been completely manipulated!

Senior Brother Yin really knows how to please people.

The real killer move was about to begin. Yin Wujiu leaned closer and whispered, "Xiao Chan knows that you've prepared so carefully for Zhiwei, she must know how good you are to her as her own mother."

That became Shen Zhiwei's own idea.

Shen Zhiwei couldn't help but smile, complaining, "I'd be overjoyed if she caused me less trouble."

Shen Zhiwei is shameless and has nothing to be ashamed of; this was her idea as her mother.

She looked at the peony she had embroidered and felt it was a bit too mature, and not quite suitable for sewing onto Shen Xiaochun's clothes.

Tsk tsk, the incarnation of a young master from a powerful immortal family is much more interesting.

When she was in a good mood, Shen Zhiwei would glance at the jade pendant at her waist without making a sound.

She thought Jiang Bin must be very surprised.

In this way, her seemingly unintentional but actually deliberate little action will surely make Jiang Bin suspicious and start to ponder.
