"ah……"
As Yuwen Yong spoke, he raised his hand, instantly turning Xu Yiran's face pale and causing her to kneel on the ground.
That man, so aloof and pure, suddenly seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell; his veins bulged, blood seeped from his lips, and the pain was unbearable…
Nan Lingqin knew he was holding back.
Even though he was holding back, it was still enough to shatter her heart.
"See that?" Yuwen Yong looked at her and sneered, "This is still the lightest one."
"You are despicable."
"Heh, so what if it's despicable? If I could live forever and control the Yun Clan and the world, then I would be the master of this world, ruling over everything. As a daughter of the Yun Clan, I think the Black Robe hasn't told you yet, has he? Oh, right, he wrote a letter for you before he died. I originally wanted to show it to Xu Yiran, but then I thought it would be better to burn it, so I burned it."
"What did he write?" Nan Lingqin asked in a trembling voice.
The man in black robes was indeed killed by Yuwen Yong.
Yuwen Yong laughed, "Cloud magic, passed down through millennia by the ancient gods, allows one to easily seize another's body and spiritual arts for their own use if transported to the extremes. This spiritual art is innate to the Cloud Clan from birth, but it's only at a rudimentary level. It only progresses to a higher level upon reaching adulthood, and then, like your mother, one can glean the Cloud Clan's magic to open a gateway to the outside world. Of course…"
Yuwen Yong paused, a strange longing appearing on his face. "Everyone thought this was the pinnacle, even that fool Yuwen Shu only thought it was about being able to live forever or be resurrected. But little did they know that true mastery comes at this moment, when one is nourished by the essence of the world and makes everyone in the world submit to one another."
"you……"
Nan Lingqin suddenly understood something. "So, you've been secretly provoking me time and time again, so..." Nan Lingqin gritted her teeth in hatred. "Qin Xun was killed by you... Xuan Yuandu was also killed by you. You just wanted to take away the people who helped me and make me lose them, so that I could improve my cloud technique in pain."
"Yes, it's a pity that it still didn't work. At first, I was thinking of trying to get rid of you and Yuwen Yao in another way, but it still didn't work. Then I thought that I would have to be put to death to survive. Then I would take your cloud technique. That would be the real supreme realm."
Yuwen Yong smiled again, saying each word carefully, "However, I'm quite surprised that you could guess it was me."
"Do you know how much Zongzheng Shao loved you before she died, and how much she hated you? Back then, in that tunnel, I think she could have lived, but you secretly sabotaged it and made her die there."
Nan Lingqin said.
"She left two words on my bed board: 'I hate you.' So, she loved the wrong person and hurt everyone. How much hatred must she have felt?"
Yuwen Yong felt no remorse at all; instead, he clapped his hands and said, “That’s right, you’re absolutely right, but what about physical strength? Haha, she’s just a woman who can be easily manipulated; I’ve got her wrapped around my little finger.”
As Yuwen Yongrong spoke, he raised his hand again, and Xu Yiran immediately closed her eyes in pain.
“Xu Yiran…”
"Hand over Xie Danling!" Yuwen Yong shouted.
"Xiao Qin, don't worry about me. I already knew what would happen to me anyway. Just live well, be happy."
Even though he was in excruciating pain, he still forced himself to speak to her gently.
Seeing Xu Yiran in pain, Yuwen Yong seemed extremely happy, "I made you who you are, and I can destroy you just as easily."
"Whoosh—"
A long sword appeared out of nowhere, and Nan Lingqin pointed it directly at Yuwen Yong's brow. "Save him."
“Oh, right, he can’t die. I still need your cloud technique.” Yuwen Yong laughed, then added, “It suddenly occurred to me that your mother didn’t actually have to die back then. It was just that I secretly plotted against her. I just wanted to test it out, but I didn’t expect to control Yuwen Yao and have him kill your mother. To this day, he still can’t understand it, hahaha…”
"You're crazy."
“I’m not crazy. Look, I still have a son. Speaking of which, Nan Lingqin, I’m still very grateful to you. You’ve raised Pinling very well, turning him from a gentle, arrogant, and ignorant flower into someone who understands human relationships and worldly affairs.”
"Does Danling know these truths?"
Nan Lingqin's question was incredibly sarcastic, and it easily made Yuwen Yong's smug and gleaming eyes narrow. Looking at Nan Lingqin, his whole body instantly exuded a murderous aura. "He is my son, so naturally he listens to me."
"Then what's the difference between that and a puppet?"
Nan Lingqin wasn't afraid of hurting him.
“I have obtained eternal life, and I can also help him obtain eternal life, so that his offspring will continue in this life. He will be happy. A man can lie drunk on a beautiful woman's bed and wake up to wield power over the world. What I give him is far more than that. He will be extremely happy and grateful.”
"Then you really don't understand him." The moonlight on the horizon was cold, and Nan Ling's smile was like a blade. "He won't be happy, nor will he be overjoyed. I can tell you very clearly that he will be ashamed of you, he will wish he were dead, he will think of assassinating you all the time, just like Ning Yi did to General Xie. You will never have a peaceful day..."
"boom--"
With a sudden loud bang, Yuwen Yongrong withdrew his palm strike, his anger causing him to slam the ground, creating a large crater.
"I thought you were so smug, but you still get angry so easily."
Despite being affected by the palm strike and suffering some internal damage, Nan Lingqin remained unmoved, uttering each word without the slightest fear or retreat.
"I will take away your cloud magic right now."
With a swift movement, Yuwen Yong drew in a thin mist from his palm, pulling Li Qingru close to him. At the same time, his other hand reached out towards her.
