In the main hall of the New Moon Profound Palace, not long after Yun Che left, a woman dressed in snow-white clothes, as graceful as an immortal, slowly walked into the hall.
Qin Wuyou was still in the main hall and had not left. He seemed to be thinking hard about how to deal with Yun Che and the Xiao Clan's outer sect. When he saw the woman walk in, he was startled at first. Then, the new lord of the New Moon Profound Palace, who was also the highest authority in the New Moon Profound Palace, showed respect on his face. He stood up from his seat, walked quickly to greet her, walked three steps away from the woman, bowed and said, "Your Highness."
If the elders of Xinyue Xuanfu saw Qin Wuyou showing such respect to a girl, they would be shocked.
The woman nodded slightly and said, "Palace Master Qin, what do you think of Yun Che?"
Qin Wuyou considered his words carefully and said cautiously, "He defeated opponents who were several levels higher than him, or even close to a higher realm, at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm. This kind of talent is something I have never seen before. If he was born in a large sect, he might have become famous by now. His future achievements will definitely be limitless."
“I think so too. However, he has caused a big disaster today. If nothing unexpected happens, the Xiao Sect will come to our door within three hours. When the time comes, please ask Palace Master Qin to stop them with all your strength and save Yun Che’s life.” The woman said gently and tenderly.
"This..." Qin Wuyou was slightly stunned, "Could it be that His Highness... chose him?"
The woman nodded slightly, sighed softly, and said: "In the past few years, I have been to seven Xuanfu, but I still haven't found a candidate I like. But this Yun Che, my eyes light up."
“However, although Yun Che has shown amazing talent, he is only sixteen years old after all, and he is only at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm. There are only two years left before the grand event. His current talent is considered top-notch in New Moon City, but compared to those evildoers… he is still far, far behind. Even compared to those top disciples of the Blue Wind Profound Palace, there is still a long way to go.” Qin Wuyou said puzzledly.
The woman said calmly, "Because he used the strength of the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm to defeat an opponent who was about to enter the True Profound Realm in one move while in a weak state. He did something that all the top geniuses I have met could not do. This is enough. Although his strength is still very weak now, when he defeated Xiao Luocheng, I had a hunch that in two years, he will definitely reach a height that will shock everyone."
At this point, she smiled and said, "You know, the most terrifying thing in this world is a woman's intuition."
Qin Wuyou pondered for a moment, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "I understand. Since it is your Highness's intention, I will do my best to save his life. I will also give him the greatest convenience in his cultivation in his mansion. However, his background and origins..."
"Don't worry about that. He is Xia Yuanba's brother-in-law. Like Xia Yuanba, he is from the small city of Floating Cloud City in the East. He was born in a small sect called Xiao Clan there. He had never left Floating Cloud City before he was sixteen years old. Half a year ago, it was revealed that he did not have the blood of Xiao Clan, so he was expelled from Xiao Clan. Now he is alone. In order to find a place to stay, he found Sikong Han, an old friend of his grandfather, and joined the New Moon Xuan Mansion. His life experience is extremely simple and clean. I have confirmed all this from Sikong Han and Xia Yuanba, and I have sent someone to immediately set off to Floating Cloud City to investigate, but it should be almost certain. Sikong Han will not lie to me. As for Xia Yuanba," the woman smiled, "I can tell whether he is lying at a glance."
"However, I have only chosen him temporarily. I will continue to stay in the New Moon Xuan Palace for a while and try to contact him as much as possible. If he ultimately disappoints me, I will make other choices. Palace Master Qin, you will have to work hard for the next period of time. Although he is only an outer sect of the Xiao Sect, it is still extremely difficult to deal with him."
"Hehe, please rest assured, Your Highness. I have walked through the main sect of Xiao Sect more than a dozen times, so what should I be afraid of for a small outer sect. It's just that... I don't know how Yun Che's character and mentality were cultivated. He is still a half-grown child, but he is so cunning that he has a clear purpose for almost everything he does and says. When I talked to him just now, he was clearly standing in front of me, but I couldn't see through him at all. His eyes were always calm like a dead person's eyes," Qin Wuyou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Even Fen Juechen, who is the first on the Tianxuan list of Cangfeng Xuanfu and never shows his emotions, has never given me this feeling. I feel that this is a person who is completely impossible to be controlled by others. Not to mention whether he can meet Your Highness' expectations in two years, it should be difficult to persuade him to serve Your Highness. Your Highness should also know that he has no intention of serving the royal family when he entered this New Moon Xuanfu."
"Oh?" The woman showed a long look of surprise at Qin Wuyou's comments. Then, she smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Lord Qin, I will come in person for this matter. I believe in my own vision and judgment, and I believe in my own abilities even more."

In the southern suburbs of Xinyue City, a towering Yuenan Mountain stands tall, and the Xiao Sect branch is located here. The entire Yuenan Mountain belongs to the Xiao Sect. Behind Yuenan Mountain, there is a jungle that stretches for 300 miles, which also belongs to the Xiao Sect. Although this jungle is not too big, the branches and leaves are too tall and lush, so it is always in the dark and is called the "Dark Jungle" by the people of Xinyue City. There are countless dangerous mysterious beasts living in the dark jungle, which is often used by the Xiao Sect as a trial place. Thousands of Xiao Sect disciples die in it every year.
Dusk had passed and night was beginning to fall, but bursts of rapid shouting completely broke the tranquility of this branch of the Xiao Sect.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way quickly! The Young Master is seriously injured! Go and notify the Master and the people at the Medicine Hall immediately! Quick!!"
Xiao Zaihe personally carried Xiao Luocheng on his back and rushed into the main gate of the sect like a madman, heading straight for the medicine hall. The people following him were sweating and terrified. Seeing that it was Xiao Zaihe, the people in the sect made way, and some of them quickly went to report to the sect leader Xiao Tiannan.
Soon, Xiao Tiannan and two elders from the Pill Hall came in a hurry. When he saw Xiao Tiannan, Xiao Zaihe knelt down and cried out in sorrow: "Sect Master! Quick, quick, save the young master, he is seriously injured... even his meridians and profound veins are... all..."
Seeing Xiao Luocheng covered in blood on Xiao Zaihe's back, Xiao Tiannan and the two elders were all horrified. Xiao Tiannan quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Luocheng's right wrist. As soon as he touched it, he withdrew it like lightning. His resolute face instantly became extremely ferocious. He grabbed Xiao Zaihe's collar and roared like an angry lion: "Who is it? Who did this! Who did it!!"
"It's... it's New Moon Xuanfu!" Xiao Zaihe said in a trembling voice: "The young master was sparring with a disciple of New Moon Xuanfu, and was hit hard by the opponent. The young master... he..."
"Xinyue...Xuanfu?" Xiao Tiannan's eyes widened: "You are talking nonsense! Which of those useless disciples of Xinyue Xuanfu can hurt Luo Cheng!"
"Master, calm down first. The young master looks seriously injured and should be sent to the Alchemy Hall immediately." The elder behind him said quickly.
"Calm down? How can I calm down? Luo Cheng's meridians in the upper body are almost all severed, his profound veins are shattered, he is nearly disabled, and all his profound strength is drained away. How can you ask me to calm down!" Xiao Tiannan roared.
“What…what!?” The two elders were immediately shocked.
"You two, send Luo Cheng to the Danyao Hall right now! And have someone quickly invite all the best doctors in the city to come to me! Zaihe! Explain to me right now what is going on!!"
————————————————
After Yun Che returned to his residence, he sat upright on the bed and soon entered a state of meditation, slowly recovering his depleted profound energy. When he opened his eyes, night had completely fallen, and his profound energy had also recovered by a small half. However, the soreness and tingling sensation throughout his body still existed.
“Huh, I’ve finally recovered a little.” Yun Che stretched his body and took a long breath, “But, the pain in my body…”
"Then you are suffering from the aftereffects of forcibly using the evil spirit." Jasmine said coldly, "Luckily you only used it for half an hour, otherwise, you would not be aching all over now, but your muscles would be ruptured and your meridians would be severed!"
“Don’t worry, I know my own body best. When I can’t bear it anymore, I will naturally stop.” Yun Che’s face was full of indifference. Then he sighed again: “But this ‘evil spirit’ is only the first realm of the Heretic God’s Profound Art, but it’s so terrifying! It can actually allow me to defeat even the seventh level of the Nascent Profound Realm.”
"The attribute of the Evil God Art is 'violent'! The first level, Evil Soul, can instantly increase the strength of your profound strength by one to two times. The second level, Burning Heart, can increase the strength of your profound strength by two to three times. The third level, Thundering Heaven, can increase it by three to four times. The fourth level, Purgatory, can increase it by four to five times. The fifth level, Hell Emperor, can increase it by five to six times."
“So… terrifying?” Jasmine’s words made Yun Che’s eyes widen in shock. He had personally experienced the first realm, “Evil Soul”. The feeling of the sudden surge in profound strength made his blood boil when he recalled it now. If he hadn’t had the Evil Soul, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat Tie Hengjun and Lu Zhannan. Yun Che had also heard of this ability that could increase profound strength rapidly and significantly, but it was basically some special profound skills that required a huge price to be spent and would only be used in a state of crisis or despair. After using it, one would face the cruel side effect of a significant decrease in profound strength, or even a large loss of lifespan. Moreover, the degree of increase in profound strength was far from comparable to the one to two times increase of the “Evil Soul”.
And the evil spirit is only at the first level!
If he reaches the second level of Burning Heart, then even if he doesn't use "Falling Moon and Sinking Stars", he can easily destroy Xiao Luocheng.
And if he could open the third, fourth, or even fifth realm, it would be unimaginable. Perhaps by then, even if he reached the Lingxuan realm where each level represented a huge gap, he would have the possibility of defeating his opponent by leaping a large realm!
“When can I fully control the Evil Spirit? When can I activate the Burning Heart?” Yun Che asked anxiously.
“When you are at the sixth level of the Entry Profound Realm, you can activate the Evil Spirit at will. As for the Burning Heart, it will be possible only when you enter the Spirit Profound Realm.” Jasmine replied calmly.
At this moment, there was a loud "boom" outside, followed by a deafening roar of anger from afar:
“Hand over Yun Che immediately, otherwise, I will destroy your New Moon Profound Palace tonight!!”
[Eh? I seem to have missed a chapter yesterday... I'll make it up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow! ]
