"Well--!"

Caught off guard, the thick substance shot directly onto her face. Some of it clung to her eyebrows and eyelashes, some trickled down her cheeks, and some even went directly into her mouth, staining her rosy lips and pearly white teeth.

A strange and inexplicable smell assaulted the woman's sense of smell and taste. Realizing that she had actually tasted the essence of his life, Rong Jieyu's mind went blank for a moment.

Immediately, she turned her head away and began to gag at the sea of ​​flowers beside her. She then hurriedly chanted a spell to summon clean water to cleanse her body.

She desperately rinsed her mouth with warm water and then washed her face, but the thick substance seemed to have marinated her in the blink of an eye. No matter how many times she rinsed, she felt that the taste still lingered on the corners of her mouth and below the tip of her nose. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but it always drove her almost crazy.

She turned her head and glanced at Yun Chu'an, her eyes filled with barely concealed hatred.

But immediately, she closed her eyes, still trying to hide her true emotions from him.

Unfortunately, Yun Chu'an saw all of this. He found it amusing, then put on a pained expression, got up, and hugged her voluptuous, naked body, calling out, "Senior—ah, I'm sorry, I was confused before, I shouldn't have doubted you like that."

"I am now certain that you truly love me."

He spoke with such deep affection that Rong Jieyu quickly turned her face away. But hearing him say those words, she felt somewhat at ease and felt a little better.

At least these sacrifices weren't in vain, and this will help stabilize him in the long run.

As she was thinking this, she felt a rough, large hand cover her buttocks again, forcefully grabbing and kneading her plump, fleshy bottom.

Realizing that this man had just gone out for sex but was still being unruly and trying to seduce her, she was immediately alarmed.

No, if I stay here any longer, I'm afraid he'll really get his way with me soon!

Gotta leave quickly!

With this thought in mind, she quickly got up and hurriedly changed her clothes, saying urgently, "Chu'an! Wait a moment, I... I'm not mentally prepared..."

“Wen Si is my junior sister, and Qi Qiao is the daughter of my former sect leader. Now I have to compete with them for a man… In short, you know, this is really hard for me to accept. I need time to adjust and calm myself down.”

As she spoke, she had already quickly changed her clothes. Looking at the man so close to her, she steeled herself and hugged him again: "Anyway, leave me alone for a while. I have to go. See you next time!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already transformed into a streak of light and sped down the mountain, leaving Yun Chuan alone on the summit, slowly tidying his clothes, his face filled with icy coldness.

Yes, the seed has been planted. Hopefully, nothing else goes wrong and it will bear fruit as expected...

On the other side, Rong Jieyu ran all the way down the mountain until she was alone before finally stopping.

She gasped for breath, still unable to calm her agitated emotions. Recalling her actions just now, humiliation and regret welled up in her heart, causing her to raise her fist and punch the tree next to her: "Ah—!"

A giant tree, thick enough for two people to hug, suddenly shattered and broke in the middle, falling to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust. Rong Jieyu gasped for breath; the scent of that essence seemed to still linger in her mouth, making her feel so wronged that she almost burst into tears.

Damn it, what's going on? What's wrong with You Wensi that forced me to resort to such a desperate measure to get a little bit of pitiful information!

If she could truly heal her old injuries and return to her Golden Core state, that would be fine, but it still won't work...

I'll definitely have to settle the score with her later!

She harbored resentment in her heart and cursed You Wensi in her mind for a while before she finally calmed down.

Then, she sprinted across the land, running wildly towards the meeting place she had arranged with her two fellow disciples.

Soon, the three met. The other two had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and when they saw her approach, they quickly surrounded her: "How did it go? What did he say?"

Rong Jieyu forced a smile and said, "Things are going quite smoothly. He said that my junior sister is fine now. She is just in seclusion to heal her injuries in Huai Shan Town and has not gone anywhere else."

“Yun Chu’an can visit her at any time. He also said that his junior sister should come out of seclusion in a few days and announce something. At that time, we can also discuss the recent situation with her in detail.”

She spoke eloquently, as if she had everything under control, but this answer did not satisfy the two men.

The hunched old man frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'm starting to doubt whether Yun Chu'an's words are still credible. I have a feeling that we've been led by the nose by him all these days..."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in the tall, burly man's eyes. He continued, "Why don't we just go up the mountain right now, grab him, and force Wen Si to come forward? At worst, we can just say it was all a misunderstanding..."

Rong Jieyu was shocked and quickly waved her hands: "How can this be? We've already agreed to maximize our profits..."

The tall, burly man said in a deep voice, "What does it matter? Anyway, you and Senior Sister Wensi can keep him in check. It just means he has a slightly worse impression of me."

"That good-for-nothing, he's already in the late Foundation Establishment stage, but he's only learned two techniques: enlarging and petrifying. He even tried to combine them for an attack. It's laughable. Don't worry about me. Even if I'm not a Golden Core cultivator now, I can easily take him down!"

As he spoke, a burning flame of jealousy raged within him. He resented that Yun Chu'an, despite being less capable than himself, was surrounded by beautiful women every day, which made him anxious.

All of these were just his excuses; he simply wanted to take the opportunity to teach this man a lesson.

Rong Jieyu frowned, her tone more stern than ever before: "No! Junior brother, if you continue to say that, don't blame your senior sister for being merciless!"

She abhorred risk, not to mention that in her view, she had already handled everything, yet this guy was trying to create unnecessary trouble, which was simply incomprehensible.

Beside him, a hunched old man chimed in, "Let's save ourselves some trouble; it's better for everyone. Of course, we shouldn't put all our hopes on this one line; it's also necessary to make some preparations to guard against him."

He smoothed things over, calming both men down. The three then separated to prepare their unique skills, so that if Yun Chu'an proved unreliable, they could make their move first.

Take him down!

……

Zhao State, Command Center.

Chen Shuling sat upright in the center of the tent, staring at the scroll in front of him. His face was pale, and he felt an overwhelming pressure pressing down on him, making him unable to move and his whole body was ice cold.

Chapter 476 The White Snake Mistress's Plan

It's all changed. Before, his future looked bright. As long as he wiped out Huang Mang, he would have made a contribution. After that, whether he tried to leave Zhongmu City for a promotion or took the opportunity to defect to Jin State, he would have plenty of options and could freely decide his future path.

But now, it's over, everything is over.

Huang Mang Patriarch broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, but failed to complete his mission. Further advancement was hopeless, and the best outcome would be to return to Zhongmu City and continue to be targeted by other families.

As for defecting to the State of Jin...

Now, what will the Yellow Python Ancestor do next? Will the aging Duke of Jin still be able to protect his own territory?

It's hard to say for sure, but in any case, his path is almost completely blocked.

No, there's always a way out. I don't believe my path has been cut off like this.

There must be people more desperate than me. I need to contact them, brainstorm ideas, and maybe we can find a smoother path.

Where is Bai Suwan?

He suddenly looked up, gazed outside, and called out to his guards, "Where is Bai Suwan?"

"Have her come over, I have something important to discuss with her!"

The White Snake Clan was once the patriarch of the Yellow Python Clan. It was only after the Nascent Soul elder of the White Snake Clan passed away that the Yellow Python Clan suddenly led a rebellion, seizing the White Snake Clan's wealth and thus rising to power.

If it weren't for Bai Suwan's sudden appearance and the preservation of the last remaining members of her clan and their wealth, this snake demon family would have already disintegrated on the spot.

Therefore, the hatred between them and Huang Mang is irreconcilable, and there is absolutely no possibility of compromise.

Find out what they have to say; that's more important than anything else.

Outside the tent, the guards quickly departed. A long while later, a graceful figure appeared. Bai Suwan, dressed in a flowing, light blue gauze dress with wide sleeves, looking ethereal and otherworldly, entered the tent alone and looked at him: "Lord Chen?"

She remained outwardly respectful and composed, but Chen Shuling could sense that the invisible barrier between them had reappeared.

Chen Shuling understood that the other party did not particularly trust him at this moment, after all, from her perspective, he had no need to be an enemy of Huang Mang.

He pondered for a moment before speaking first: "The reason for Ancestor Huangmang's breakthrough has been revealed. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Bai thinks of this matter?"

A layer of frost seemed to cover Bai Suwan's beautiful face, and a murderous intent appeared in her pupils: "So what if you are a Nascent Soul cultivator? The Yellow Pythons are a scourge of this world. If they are not wiped out, no feudal lord can expect peace."

Chen Shuling pondered: "But it is by no means easy to eliminate a Nascent Soul demon. When the Jin Kingdom was at its peak, it once dispatched five Pillars of State to besiege the Black Bull King. However, in the end, it still failed and he escaped."

He spoke with trepidation, to which Bai Suwan frowned: "My lord, are we just going to let these demon cultivators roam freely?"

"Please believe me, I know Huang Mang's character better than anyone else. They are a bunch of ungrateful wretches and are not trustworthy at all."

She spoke urgently, earnestly advising him: "Letting them roam will only harm the local cultivators of Zhao; and even if we offer them amnesty, given past experience, they will surely betray us again in the future. At that time, the harm they will cause to Zhao will be far greater than the price we pay to eliminate them now."

She tried her best to persuade him, but Chen Shuling knew all too well what she was saying.

He frowned, dissatisfied with her words. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table to quiet her down, and continued, "I know he's a threat, but right now, we're facing a Nascent Soul stage demon."

"Given our status, what merit or ability do we possess to invite Nascent Soul stage cultivators to besiege the Yellow Python?"

He gestured to the other party that if they wanted to achieve their goal, they should first provide a reliable solution.

At this moment, Bai Suwan suddenly realized something, and then her eyes lit up.

"No need for Nascent Soul cultivators to lift a finger, my lord, no need for Nascent Soul cultivators!" Her eyes burned with fervor, her tone urgent. "Just Golden Core cultivators, just five Golden Core cultivators working closely together, and we can take him down!"

Chen Shuling looked at her intently and asked, "How should I put it?"

“He was once a vassal of my White Snake clan. His cultivation path was guided by my family, and the techniques he practiced were taught by my family.” Her gaze was intense. “And, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the method he used to break through to the Nascent Soul stage was also given to him by my family, so…”

Chen Shuling's eyes lit up: "You know his weaknesses?"

Bai Suwan nodded: "Yes, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I know the biggest weakness in his technique. As long as we cooperate perfectly, we can kill him!"

Chen Shuling asked in a deep voice, "What should we do?"

Bai Suwan said, "I need five outstanding Golden Core cultivators. Lord Chen, I can count myself as one, and you can also count as one if you are willing to come."

"As for the remaining three, the other two are manageable, but there is one person who is extremely crucial and indispensable: I need an exceptionally powerful expert who can slay his Nascent Soul. Only when this expert is sharp enough will we have any chance of winning!"

Her emphasis immediately sparked a flash of inspiration in Chen Shuling, and a suitable candidate instantly came to mind: "Yan Shui Yi!"

Bai Suwan nodded, her expression solemn: "If you support this plan, I can immediately set off to infiltrate Jin and contact Yan Shuiyi."

"Everyone has seen what the Yellow Pythons have done. I believe the female swordswoman of the Qingyun Sect will not ignore this. If we join forces, we will surely be able to slay this great demon!"

Chen Shuling's heart pounded. As a bureaucrat of the Zhao state, he was unsure if this was a good choice: in a sudden situation that he clearly couldn't handle, instead of proactively reporting to his superiors, he was acting on his own initiative, even risking his life...

However, as a high-ranking official in the State of Zhao, he knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly, he would certainly not have a good end.

So many wolves and tigers are eyeing him...

He pursed his lips, feeling his palms were sweaty.

"If Yan Shuiyi can agree," he said, "then I'll risk my old life to fight alongside you!"

Bai Suwan's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously: "It's a deal!"

A raging fire had already ignited in her beautiful eyes.

……

On Huai Mountain, in Zhu Yunqing's cave.

With countless spiritual energies converging here, Zhu Yunqing sat cross-legged within the magic array, her eyes closed and focused. Her breathing was even and deep, and she silently recited a long and complex incantation, allowing the spiritual energy to surge within her body and eventually permeate her blood and marrow.

Finally, at this moment, she climbed to a completely new level and stepped into the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

After a long while, the spider demon slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes flashing like lightning, captivating and mesmerizing.

For a long time, she has been eager for steady progress, taking things one step at a time, without rushing to make breakthroughs.

She set a deadline for herself, and even when she was on the verge of a breakthrough, she was still busy filling in the gaps in her knowledge so that she could go further.

But now, things are about to change in the mountains. In order to cope with the impending crisis, she must break through to the next level.

The breakthrough process was very smooth and safe. Despite the surging spiritual energy around her, she remained as steady as a mountain.

She then got up and walked out. As soon as she stepped out of the cave, she was met with blinding sunlight. A flash of crimson fire passed by her, followed by Hua Caiyan's voice: "Congratulations, Fourth Sister, on your further advancement in cultivation!"

Zhu Yunqing turned her head and looked at her younger sister, only to see her appear in front of her with a smile, the surrounding spiritual energy surging uncontrollably, already at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Clearly, this fox spirit has also made rapid progress recently. After realizing the crisis, she finally stopped being lazy and quickly broke through a small realm, reaching a completely new level.

Zhu Yunqing rolled her eyes at this and said, "It's something that happened naturally, there's nothing to congratulate. You're the one who should be congratulating."

She went over, pulled the little fox into her arms, and gently patted her back: "Why are you in such a hurry to break through? You've only just established your foundation."

"You don't need to worry too much about things at home. At least you still have me, your third sister, and Chu'an. The three of us will support you. No matter how difficult things are, they won't fall on your shoulders."

Hua Caiyan raised her little face, her smiling expression gradually fading: "Ah... I also want to help you guys."

She muttered something, but Zhu Yunqing didn't scold her too much. In any case, a successful breakthrough was ultimately a good thing, and her biggest worry was nothing more than impetuosity.

Then she heard her younger sister in her arms say, "The head of the family just sent a message. I'm here to inform you that everyone should go to Huai Mountain for a meeting. It seems she has something important to announce."

Homeowner?

You Wensi?

Zhu Yunqing's expression shifted. Ever since she learned that Yun Chuan had won her over, Zhu Yunqing had almost forgotten about this woman and didn't think she could rely on her for anything.

So, what is she going to read out at this critical juncture?
