Evil Emperors Wild Consort

Chapter 151: The Mysterious Masked Man (3)
Light flashed in Gu Xianglin’s eyes before he turned to look at Gu

Ruyoun. With a calm aura, he said: “Little Sister, we’ve known each
other for so many years, but I never realised that you studied medicine.
If the words you used to convince the Ghost Doctor to be your disciple
were empty, you’ll suffer the consequences when the truth is found out
sooner or later.”
While saying so, the man put on a worried expression and shook his
head. He acted just like a good older brother should, showing concern
for his little sister.
Unfortunately, how many of the attendees didn’t know of the disputes

between Gu Ruoyun and the Gu family? Gu Xianglin couldn’t wait for her
to die; how could he possibly be concerned about whether she would
suffer the consequences or not?
“The Ghost Doctor’s shifu?” Feng Lei was stunned for a moment. He
looked at Gu Ruoyun with some surprise, and then he burst out into
sudden laughter. “Haha, so Miss Ruoyun was also the Ghost Doctor’s
shifu. To have such skill in medicine, and at such a young age, too!
You’ve really humbled us.”
At first, they had been intent on helping Gu Ruoyun due to that man’s
request. However, now they were genuinely keen on forging good
relations with her. There was no telling when one’s life would be in
www.asianovel.com
3
danger. When the time comes, this relationship would likely become
their lifesaver.
Feng Lei probably did not have expect it, but many years later, it was
because of his decision today, that he would survive a critical period of
danger in the Wind Hall.
“Oh, right,” Feng Lei seemed to have thought of something as he turned

to look at Old Man Gu, whose face was turning pale, “I remember that
you said you chased Miss Ruoyun out of your family. Is that true?”
“This… this…” The old man’s voice started to tremble, “Young Master
Feng Lei, there’s a misunderstanding here. Please listen to my
explanation.”
“Hmph!”
Feng Lei harrumphed, “A misunderstanding? You said it yourself. How

could there be a misunderstanding? From what I saw, your Gu family
wasn’t very warm in welcoming me today. Since that’s the case, I’ll take
my leave now!”
When he finished speaking, his gaze landed once again on Gu Ruoyun:

“Miss Ruoyun, if anyone here bullies you, you can tell me. I have to take
my leave now, but I’ll come to Hundred Herb Hall tomorrow to personally
pay you a visit. However, with the Ghost Doctor as your disciple, I guess
that no one would be so silly as to offend you, haha!”
What kind of personage was the Ghost Doctor? She had saved many
experts in the past. With just a single order from her, those people would
come rushing to her aid even from miles away.
“Wait a moment.”
Seeing that Feng Lei was just about to turn and leave, Gu Ruoyun
abruptly stood up and halted his steps.
She was smiling; with clear pupils and laughter dancing on the corners
of her lips, it made everyone curious about what she was going to say.
www.asianovel.com

When everyone’s gaze was focused on her pretty face, she leisurely
began to speak. “Since all these various orders and sects have gathered
here today, I’m going to announce something on behalf of Hundred Herb
Hall.”
The girl paused for a moment before she said: “I wonder if you still
remember the auction three years ago?”
The auction three years ago had shocked everyone in the world. It was
impossible for them not to know of it.
The gathered guests were all wondering why Gu Ruoyun had brought up
that auction.
Thinking up to here, everyone whispered to each other, eyes full of

suspicion.
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Gu Ruoyun slowly continued.
“Some time ago, quite fortunately, our Hundred Herb Hall managed to
find some pills. This time, we won’t be holding an auction; we’ll be
selling them in-store. They’ll be sold at fixed prices! However, because
we have a very limited number of them, only a few people will be able to
buy them. If you like, come to Hundred Herb Hall in three days, be ready
to buy pills!”
Rumble!
The news hit like a bolt of lightning completely out of the blue. Everyone
present, thunderstruck, froze on the spot.
What did she just say? Hundred Herb Hall was going to sell Beauty
Rejuvenation Pills? Was there something wrong with their ears? There
were still some Beauty Rejuvenation Pills available?

Chapter 152

“Miss Ruoyun, is that true?”
Seated within the banquet hall, a pot-bellied middle-aged man

swallowed his saliva. His gaze carried pleasant surprise, but it seemed
like he had suddenly thought of something. With an uncertain tone, he
asked: “Are there any conditions we have to meet before we can buy the
pills?”
For example, status and the like.
Gu Ruoyun cast a glance towards the middle-aged man before speaking,

her face full of smiles: “Prime Minister Cheng, please rest assured. We’ll
sell them on a first-come first-serve basis. We don’t have any
preconditions. Of course, you do need to have enough gold coins on
hand to buy them, since Hundred Herb Hall’s pills are not very cheap. If
you don’t have enough gold, you can use items of equivalent value to
exchange for it.”
Her words had given everyone a guarantee. Previously, imperial officials

like them had not met the qualifications to attend the auction, so their
hearts had been still full of worry.
“That’s good then, that’s good.”
Joy bloomed within the middle-aged man’s heart. He clearly became
www.asianovel.com
6
more relaxed, and newfound respect for Gu Ruoyun showed in his gaze.
The star of the banquet today, Gu Xianglin, had been tossed to the
backs of everyone’s minds; they had completely forgotten that such a
person existed…
Gu Xianglin cast an indifferent gaze on the toadies surrounding Gu

Ruoyun. He gave off a cold, disdainful snort. He didn’t believe that those
pills would be that magical!
“I have one more thing to announce tonight,” Gu Ruoyun’s voice paused

as her eyes swept across everyone in the crowd, before stopping on Old
Man Gu and Gu Xianglin. Her smile was cold like ice, and her eyes were
alight with a sinister chill as she said, “From now on, anyone related to
the Gu family or the Cool Breeze Faction… will be banned from buying
pills from Hundred Herb Hall! No matter what serious ailments you have,
the Ghost Doctor will never treat you!”
“Who do you think you are? How can you represent Hundred Herb Hall?”
Gu Panpan could no longer hold back due to the clear disparity she felt.
She started shouting like a mad woman, “Didn’t you hear what my
brother said just now? Our Gu family knows better than anyone else
exactly what this woman is capable of! You guys just believed her after
she spouted a few lies? You’re really a bunch of idiots.”
While Gu Panpan was speaking, the expressions of the Gu family

changed drastically. Although Gu Xianglin had just revealed that Gu
Ruoyun had no real ability, he had done so in a way that wouldn’t offend
anyone. However, Gu Panpan had just insulted everyone present.
Thus, the collective expressions of the crowd had turned ugly. They
stared at the people of the Gu family in an unfriendly manner.
It was obvious that Gu Panpan had not realised it yet. She stepped
closer and closer to Gu Ruoyun. With her teeth gritted, it was clear that
she wanted to tear the woman before her into pieces.
“Gu Ruoyun, take a clear look at how wretched you are! Especially that
www.asianovel.com
7
carriage outside, it’s so broken down. If I passed something like that on

the road, I’d feel like it was insulting me! Look at the mounts that my
brother and his faction ride; that’s what you call majestic! Even my
brother’s mount looks impressive! But you, as the self-proclaimed shifu
of the Ghost Doctor, you’re only riding such a pathetic carriage? What a
riot!”
As she was speaking, she burst out into loud laughter: “Although I’ve
never seen the Ghost Doctor before, even I know that she’s supposed to
be extremely ugly. However, three years ago, you somehow got some
prostitute to claim that she was the Ghost Doctor after getting cured by
the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill. Who would believe that? Except you bunch
of idiots, who would believe that?”
“Shut up!”
Old Man Gu had wanted to stop Gu Panpan’s speech at first, but he had
been held down by a powerful aura, and he couldn’t speak no matter
how hard he had tried. It wasn’t until just now that the powerful aura
dissipated. He immediately raised his hand and slapped Gu Panpan’s
face.
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 153

Gu Panpan immediately saw stars from the power of that slap. It took
her a while before she could regain her senses, and then she looked at
Old Man Gu like she hadn’t understood a thing.
“Grandfather, why did you hit me?”
“You’re too stupid!”
The old man was so angry that he stomped his foot. His tone was
extremely frustrated.
Gu Panpan was different from Gu Ruoyun. She had been spoiled rotten
by him since she was a child, and she didn’t know enough about the
world to properly judge her own ability. Furthermore, she had always
thought that no one would dare to do anything to her with Gu Xianglin
behind her.
In her mind, the Wind Hall and the other powers absolutely would not
dare to start anything with the Cool Breeze Faction, which stood at
about the same level.
Of course, if she didn’t have Gu Xianglin as her brother, she wouldn’t

have dared to insult everyone present.
She had never expected that Grandfather would actually slap her in
front of so many people; this made her feel completely wronged.
www.asianovel.com

“Elder Lei, Young Master Feng Lei, my daughter is young and lacks
sense. I hope you won’t take offence.”
The old man wiped away the cold sweat trickling down his forehead,
smiling in self-mockery as he tried to appease them.
“Hmph!” Elder Lei snorted coldly, “I prevented you from holding this
woman back precisely because I wanted to hear what she would say.
You’ve really opened my eyes. Is the Ghost Doctor’s identity something
that she’s qualified to suspect? Or perhaps I should say, does she think
that something’s wrong with our eyes?”
Gu Panpan’s lips were trembling slightly. Her face was pale and she
couldn’t speak. However, it was clear from her gaze that she still felt
wronged; she kept staring at Gu Ruoyun.
“Alright, the show’s over. It’s time for us to return.”
It was at this moment that Gu Ruoyun slowly stood up. With a slight
smile, she said: “I was simply taking advantage of this welcoming feast
to announce those two matters today. Since we’re done with our
business, it’s time to leave. Wei Yiyi, let’s go.”
“Yes, shifu.”
Wei Yiyi stood up and tossed a charming look at Gu Xianglin before

smiling seductively: “Young Master Gu, I wonder if you were satisfied
with today’s banquet? Hahaha!”
When she finished speaking, she loudly laughed and followed Gu Ruoyun
out of the banquet hall.
Watching their two figures disappearing under the moonlight, Gu

Xianglin tightly clenched his fists.
Those two had done it on purpose! They had purposely made a fool out
of him at his banquet! Everything… had been planned by them!
Gu Xianglin had guessed it right. Gu Ruoyun had not been planning to

take their lives; she had simply wanted to cause trouble at the banquet.
www.asianovel.com
10
The Gu family had been so fixed on humiliating them that they had
forgotten: you reap what you sow.
Gu Ruoyun had not expected the appearance of Elder Lei and the rest,
but at least their sudden appearances had helped them achieve their
true motives.
Thinking of the expressions on the faces of the Gu family just now, Wei
Yiyi felt unbelievably satisfied!
“Wei Yiyi, it has already been three years.”
Under the light of the moon, the girl paused her steps. The faint
moonlight encased her entire body, casting a clear and cold light upon
her.
“In these three years, I have made a lot of progress in my growth. I don’t
have to hide my power like before. After these three years of biding our
time, it’s time for us to reveal ourselves to the world,” she frowned
slightly, “However, in these three years, I still haven’t been able to find
out how my parents went missing back then.”
She used the word ‘missing’ to describe her parents’ status and didn’t
use the word ‘dead’.
For some reason, Gu Ruoyun had a feeling that her parents were still
alive! In these three years, that feeling had only grown stronger and
stronger!
Wei Yiyi lapsed into silence for a moment: “Shifu, the spies from our
Devil Sect have been continuously investigating what happened back
then. Although they have not found all the information yet, we’ve
uncovered some new leads. Gu Tian’s disappearance… seems to have
something to do with Second Master Gu!”
www.asianovel.com
11
Chapter 154
Bang!
A fist landed heavily on a tree beside her. Gu Ruoyun sneered: “Young

Master Dongfang told me previously that the Gu family had something
to do with this! Once I find the culprit behind all this, I swear on my soul
that I’ll tear his very spirit to pieces, so that he’ll never be able to enter
the cycle of rebirth again!”
Wei Yiyi hesitated before asking: “Shifu, should we capture Second

Master Gu and interrogate him?”
“No need,” Gu Ruoyun felt that her throat had become a little dry; her
tone was husky as she said, “Did you think that fellow could deal with
my parents with his level of ability? There must be someone helping him
behind the scenes! Before we discover his backer’s identity, I don’t want
to inadvertently alarm him and have him hide even deeper. This is also
why I’ve only caused trouble for the Gu family these past few years and
never settled our debts once and for all.”
Gu Ruoyun would never do something without a guarantee.
If she wanted to act, then she would have to eliminate them completely!
No matter what, she wouldn’t let herself fall into any danger!
“Who?”
www.asianovel.com
12
Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun’s brows drew together and she cast a severe

glance at an old tree behind her: “You don’t have to hide anymore,
come out! I’ve already detected your presence!”
Wei Yiyi stared blankly for a while before turning to look in the direction
of Gu Ruoyun’s gaze.
A man stepped out slowly from behind the old tree.
The man was wearing a black mask. Under that mask, the man’s eyes
were like those of a predator in the night; no one could escape from that
grim gaze. However, when he looked at that girl dressed in green, a hint
of warmth was showing through his cold pupils, although that warmth
disappeared almost instantly.
Gu Ruoyun frowned. For some reason, this man’s gaze was very familiar
to her, but she couldn’t recall where she had seen it before.
“Who are you? Have we met before?”
The man opened his mouth, wanting to say countless words to her. In
the end, he still chose to swallow them all. A grim, hoarse voice slowly
resounded from his throat.
“We’ve never met.”
Gu Ruoyun sneered: “If we’ve never met, then why are you following
me?”
Just as she finished speaking, that man in black suddenly charged over
with an icy gaze; his eyes carrying killing intent.
“Shifu, be careful!”
Seeing the man about to reach Gu Ruoyun, Wei Yiyi’s expression

changed drastically. She quickly threw herself in Gu Ruoyun’s direction,
with her seductive face twisted in anger. Who was this man? Why did he
want to kill Shifu?
However, when the man reached Gu Ruoyun, he reached out and pulled
www.asianovel.com
13
her into his embrace before raising his hand to block a blow. Suddenly,
Wei Yiyi heard a crash as a figure fell from the night sky.
That person’s expression was full of fear as he stared in amazement at

the man shielding Gu Ruoyun in his arms.
Why… how had that masked man discovered him?
After seeing this scene, Wei Yiyi relaxed. It looked like this man wasn’t
here to kill Gu Ruoyun. His real target had been the assassin hiding in
the darkness of the night…
“Speak!Who are you? Who sent you here!” The masked man was
radiating killing intent as his grim gaze fixed coldly upon the assassin.
“You don’t have to ask,” Gu Ruoyun said, waving her hand, “He’s
someone from the Cool Breeze Faction, most likely sent by Gu Xianglin.
He’s been following me ever since I left the Gu household. I purposely
said those words out loud to Wei Yiyi for him to hear, to see when he
would try to kill me.”
It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head; the
assassin started trembling unconsciously.
She knew… She knew everything… The moment he had started

following her, she had known. That is to say, from the start, she had had
no intention of letting him leave alive…
How scary was this woman?
He practised the Hidden Aura Technique. The masked man before him
was too strong, so it was still within reason if he could see through his
technique. However, how could Gu Ruoyun have detected his aura?
What kind of enemy had the young master offended this time?
“You… who are you?” Looking towards towards Gu Ruoyun, he asked

while trembling.
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Longevity Pill (1)
“Shifu, how should we take care of this fellow?”
Wei Yiyi’s expression cooled down. On the inside, however, she was
feeling vexed. The Cool Breeze Faction’s assassin had been following
them the entire time, yet she hadn’t noticed him. If not for Shifu’s keen
senses, he would have succeeded with his sinister plans.
Gu Ruoyun raised her eyes to look at the man before her and asked
expressionlessly: “Gu Xianglin must have gotten you to follow me for
more than just a sneak attack. Otherwise you wouldn’t have stayed
hidden for so long without making a move. Tell me, what’s his motive?”
“Don’t ask me! I won’t speak. Kill me if you want!”
The assassin recovered from his surprise and shock. Gritting his teeth,
he spoke as if he wasn’t afraid of dying.
“You want to die?”
Gu Ruoyun smiled.
For some reason, when he saw her smile, the assassin trembled. A fear
that originated from the depths of his heart took over his spirit. Within
seconds, his clothes were drenched in a layer of sweat.
The girl didn’t say anything else, but the entire night seemed to have
www.asianovel.com
15
sunk into grave silence. It was so silent that it was even a little scary.
That feeling made the assassin even more antsy, a feeling even worse
than dying painfully from a thousand cuts.
After a very long time, that clear voice slowly resounded from the girl:
“Do you know why I purposely let you listen in on my conversation with
Wei Yiyi?”
The assassin stared at her blankly, puzzled.
Had she been trying to use her words shock him into revealing his aura?
No! That wasn’t right. She had detected his presence from the start, she
wouldn’t have needed any tricks to make him reveal his presence.
“Because…” Gu Ruoyun smiled at the man, sounding like a devil from

hell luring unsuspecting victims into an inescapable trap, “I need you to
do something for me. To be more accurate, I want you to be my spy in
the Gu family, and investigate the culprit who harmed my parents.”
“Never!”
The flustered assassin shouted loudly. He would never surrender to this

woman!
“That’s not up to you.”
The pretty girl had been smiling from the start: “Baobao, it’s your turn to
shine now. It’s time to give the Cool Breeze Faction a glimpse of what a
real spiritual beast mount looks like!”
“Awoooo!”
A wolf’s howl sounded abruptly in the silent night. The assassin was so
frightened that he almost hunkered down to the ground.
“A wolf… Why is there a wolf here?”
He mumbled to himself with a pale face. Suddenly his gaze swung

towards Gu Ruoyun, his eyes widening as if he had seen something
terrifying and he lost the ability to speak.
www.asianovel.com
16
Under the moonlight, a majestic snow white wolf stood by the girl’s side,
protecting her like a protector god.
“A spiritual beast!”
The assassin’s face paled as he thought of retreating. Although the Cool

Breeze Faction’s mounts were also spiritual beasts, those were the
lowest tier of spiritual beasts, which were rather easy to tame. However,
wolves were different, as they are extremely hard to tame, and it is even
more rare for them to willingly form contracts with humans…
This wolf in particular was extraordinarily powerful! Its power seemed to

be on the same level as the Faction Master of the Cool Breeze Faction!
And their Faction Master was a martial king expert! How had this girl
managed to tame this wolf with her strength?
“What kind of enemy has the Young Master brought upon the Cool
Breeze Faction?” His face had gone beyond pale, as he started shivering,
his expression filling with despair and dejection, “It’s over. The Cool
Breeze Faction is going to be finished in Young Master’s hands.”
“Roar!”
Baobao roared in a low tone. At first, the assassin thought that the wolf
was giving him a warning. However, he soon realised that something
was wrong. He could feel his soul being imprisoned. No matter what he
did, he couldn’t get free.
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 156
Slowly, those fear-filled eyes lost their spirit and turned blank, so blank
that he looked like a piece of wood.
“What’s your name?”
It was as if Gu Ruoyun’s voice held some magic power that made the
assassin obedient: “Reporting to Master, this subordinate is named Li
Cheng.”
“Li Cheng, is it? You can return now. Observe Second Master Gu. If
there’s any movement at all, inform me at once through soul telepathy.”
Since Li Cheng was being controlled by Baobao, who was Gu Ruoyun’s

contract beast, they could communicate via soul telepathy. Of course,
with Baobao’s current power, they could only control souls of those who
had martial king strength and below.
“Shifu, Baobao had that kind of ability?” Wei Yiyi’s beautiful eyes
widened in surprise. A little puzzled, she asked, “Since it has that kind of
ability, why don’t you directly control Second Master Gu and ask him
what we want to know?”
Gu Ruoyun shook her head: “If it were really that easy, I would have
done it earlier. Second Master Gu has some mysterious power backing
him. If I were to control his soul, that person is sure to detect it. It’s not
safe to do so. Right now, I just want to find out where that power comes
www.asianovel.com
18
from and what kind of grudge they had with my parents!”
“Shifu, shouldn’t we thank Gu Xianglin for sending such a convenient

pawn to you?” Wei Yiyi blinked, then grinned as she spoke. It was
obvious that she was still in high spirits from seeing the Gu family’s
humiliation today.
Gu Ruoyun smiled slightly: “That’s right, just now…”
She was about to turn towards that grim masked man, when she found
that the space behind her was totally empty. He had disappeared.
“Shifu,” Wei Yiyi asked hesitantly, “Where did that man come from?”
“I’m not sure.”
Gu Ruoyun shook her head: “However, he didn’t have any evil intentions
towards us.”
Not only that, when that man had held her in his embrace, Gu Ruoyun
had for some reason unconsciously felt a sense of safety and relief…
“Forget it,” Gu Ruoyun stopped looking around, “Wei Yiyi, let’s go.”
Before she left, she seemed to have detected something as she cast a
final glance at the old tree that man had been hiding behind before…
It wasn’t until the two figures had disappeared that a man dressed in
black slowly stepped out from behind the old tree. The man’s thin lips
were pursed slightly, while those black pupils were still fixed on the girl’s
disappearing back, filling with endless warmth and affection.
“I’m sorry, Yun’er. I can’t acknowledge you right now, I hope you’ll
forgive me…”
……
Three years ago, that auction had shocked countless people. Thus, upon
hearing that Hundred Herb Hall was going to sell Beauty Rejuvenation
Pills in their store, the entire Azure Dragon Country was in an uproar. All
the imperial officials and nobles started to prepare their fortunes for the
www.asianovel.com
19
sake of buying a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill from Hundred Herb Hall.
Even if they didn’t need the pill themselves, based on the fact that it
was pills alone meant that many people would fight with all their might
to get one.
However, when the crowd had reached Hundred Herb Hall, it was
strangely quiet. Perhaps they were worried that they would be chased
out of Hundred Herb Hall if they were too noisy.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I see that almost everyone is present,”

Shopkeeper Zhao coughed drily as he spoke with upturned eyes,
“Because we don’t have enough pills, only twenty people will be able to
get a pill. Since there are already twenty people present, there won’t be
any more pills available for late arrivals. However, today, we’re not only
selling Beauty Rejuvenation Pills. We’ll also be selling Longevity Pills.”
Hearing Shopkeeper Zhao’s words, everyone’s hearts unconsciously

skipped a beat.

exact same tree…? ovo;;

expected that there would actually be pills that could extend your
lifespan!
Although the Ghost Doctor was said to be able to revive the dead, that
was only if she could treat his wounds in time while he still had a single
breath left in him. She couldn’t add on to their lifespans! Thus, it could
be imagined how shocking the existence of the Longevity Pills was!
“Shopkeeper Zhao, is… is what you said true?”
Amongst the crowd, a young little fellow trembled as he asked.
Shopkeeper Zhao cast a glance at Gu Ruoyun, who was sitting at one

side. Upon seeing her nod, he then replied in confirmation: “Of course
it’s true. I can swear on Hundred Herb Hall’s name that what I said was
completely true!”
Upon hearing this, the young little fellow burst into tears: “That’s great!
There’s hope for my grandfather! My grandfather can live on!”
At that moment, upon hearing such shocking news, the crowd no longer
cared that they were still in Hundred Herb Hall’s territory. They burst
into a cacophony of noise, their tones and expressions full of
excitement.

If this was true, then this was going to be even more sensational than
the auction held three years ago!
“Longevity Pills? Hehe, if we could really extend our lifespans, wouldn’t

we be rewriting our fates?”
Suddenly, a burst of cold laughter sounded from outside.
Shopkeeper Zhao’s brows drew together and he raised his eyes to look
over as Gu Xianglin led the Cool Breeze Faction in.
They carried unfriendly expressions; it was clear that they had come
here to cause trouble.
“Shopkeeper Zhao, we’re all cultivators here. The biggest taboo for
cultivators is to rewrite fate!” Gu Xianglin sneered, “If you defy nature
and rewrite your fate, you’ll definitely suffer divine punishment! I don’t
believe that there’ll be anyone silly enough to risk their souls being torn
apart to extend the lifespans of some people unrelated to them! Thus,
those pills must be fake! Most importantly, as everyone knows, pill
formulas disappeared from this world a long time ago. Since then,
countless people have tried to research pill formulas and failed. From
this, you can tell that there will never be any more pill masters in this
world!”
When he had started cultivating, his shifu had told him to never defy
nature nor attempt to rewrite his fate. Otherwise, his soul would be torn
apart by divine punishment, and he would be doomed to eternal
damnation! He didn’t believe that these old people had no knowledge of
that bit of common sense. Thus, those pills absolutely could not be real
Longevity Pills!
Just as the crowd looked at each other in dismay, light laughter carried
over: “Pills have always been things that defied nature. However, that
doesn’t mean that pill masters have to suffer divine punishment! The
meaning of ‘defying nature and rewriting fate’ is to forcefully rewrite a
person’s fate with some underhanded means. However, pills simply
make some changes to the body by borrowing some external power. As
www.asianovel.com
22
for what you said last… Who can guarantee that there’ll be no
exceptions after so many years?”
Gu Xianglin’s pupils darkened as he gazed coldly at Gu Ruoyun: “Little

Sister Ruoyun, are you sure you want to make enemies with your own
family for the sake of Hundred Herb Hall?”
“My own family?” Gu Ruoyun smiled, full of mocking, “I’m sorry, I only
recognise my parents and Gu Shengxiao as my family. As for all of you,
you’re just some strangers who are related to me by blood.”
“Very well!” Gu Xianglin sneered, “I hope you don’t regret your words
today! However, no matter what you say today, I’ll prove to everyone
that Hundred Herb Hall is lying! Those pills are all fake!”
Fake?
Hearing this, everyone bent their heads and whispered to each other,
brimming with discussion.
They had seen the success of Hundred Herb Hall’s auction back then. If
they claimed that the Longevity Pills were fake, they really couldn’t
believe it. However, since the Cool Breeze Faction’s Young Master was
so confident, did that mean he had some evidence in his hands?
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 158
“Everyone, to prove that the pills are real, we’ve already invited
someone to prove it to you. We’ll let him in right now.”
Shopkeeper Zhao coughed drily as he spoke, smiling with narrowed

eyes.
The raucous crowd quieted down instantly upon hearing his words. Their
gazes turned towards the entrance together. Following that, a slight
cough sounded as an elderly man slowly walked into Hundred Herb Hall
with the help of a cane.
That doddering, old man needed someone’s help to walk; his old face
was wrinkled like ancient bark. It was clear that he was at the end of his
road, and that there wasn’t much life left in him.
“Isn’t that the Imperial Tutor?”
“The Imperial Tutor is just a normal person, his lifespan wasn’t

particularly long from the start. He’s already in his late nineties now. Not
too long ago, the imperial physicians diagnosed that he won’t live past
three months. Since Hundred Herb Hall had invited him here, did that
mean that the Longevity Pills were real?!
Within Azure Dragon Country, the Imperial Tutor still had some prestige.
Even if he wasn’t a cultivator, he was extremely knowledgeable and had
an upright character. There was no better person to prove the
www.asianovel.com
24
authenticity of the pills.
“Hehe, I thought I only had three months left in me. I didn’t think that
Hundred Herb Hall would invite me to test this Longevity Pill. I’m
overwhelmed by this favour.”
The Imperial Tutor spoke very slowly. He had to pant for breath after
every sentence, as if speaking each word used up what was left of his
strength.
Shopkeeper Zhao didn’t say anything more, but directly ordered some
men to hand the pill over to the Imperial Tutor.
The Imperial Tutor smiled and raised his hand with some difficulty. His
hand shook as he placed the pill in his mouth.
His expression was very calm, so calm that not a single ripple was
showing.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the Imperial Tutor, afraid
that they would miss out on something.
Gu Xianglin narrowed his eyes as a strange glint flashed across his eyes.
If this pill verification failed, then Hundred Herb Hall’s good reputation
would be tarnished. When that happened, he had to take the pill
formulas for himself!
“Quick, look!”
Suddenly, a shocked voice abruptly sounded.
Following that, everyone could feel that the Imperial Tutor’s body was
slowly starting to change…
How could they describe it? Although his face was still as wrinkled as
before, the pallor of death around him had slowly disappeared. Although
he needed to lean on a cane to walk previously, he threw it to one side
in front of the stares of the crowd.
“Hahaha!”
www.asianovel.com
25
He let loose a burst of laughter. That laughter held no trace of weakness,

he looked completely hale and hearty: “A miracle, it’s really a miracle! I
thought I was close to death, I didn’t think that I could live a few more
years! Most importantly, I was actually able to try the pill that all the
people of the world long for in their dreams! I’m satisfied! I’ve
experienced enough in this lifetime!”
As he was speaking, the Imperial Tutor became emotional and tears ran
down his cheeks.
Roar!
The crowd abruptly exploded. Everyone’s gazes carried disbelief and

undisguised traces of excitement.
Heavens, Longevity Pills really existed! Helping someone on their

deathbed extend their lifespans was something impossible to do! It was
something even the Ghost Doctor, who could wrestle people out of the
hands of the King of Hell, couldn’t do!
Within this Hundred Herb Hall, someone had actually refined this
miraculous pill!
“Ladies and gentlemen,” Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and said, “A person

can only use a single Longevity Pill in his lifetime. Furthermore, each pill
only extends your lifespan by ten years! That is to say, you’ll still die
after ten years!”
Although the pill was only effective for ten years, it was enough to make
everyone there go crazy.
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 159
When a cultivator reached the martial king rank, their lifespan would be
extended by a hundred years. If a late stage martial general was on the
verge of a breakthrough but his lifespan was coming to an end, there
was no way to reverse that desperate situation. However, if an
additional ten years of life could give him the chance to break through,
then that was equivalent to adding on a hundred years of life. Thus, it
could be imagined how important getting an additional ten years of life
was to a cultivator.
Gu Xianglin didn’t speak, but his eyes darted here and there, clearly
thinking of how he could get the pill formulas into his hands!
Putting aside the extra ten years of life; if he could refine the Longevity
Pill, how many riches could he amass?
Thinking of that, he was moved by the possibilities. He said:

“Shopkeeper Zhao, I want to meet with your master. Could you invite
him to meet me?”
Hearing so, Shopkeeper Zhao stared blankly for a moment. The current
master of Hundred Herb Hall was Eldest Miss, but it seemed like Eldest
Miss didn’t want anyone to know of her true connection to Hundred Herb
Hall, even up till now. Thus, he couldn’t possibly reveal her identity.
“Apologies, Young Master Gu. Our master doesn’t want to meet

anybody. Furthermore, didn’t you just say that our Hundred Herb Hall is
www.asianovel.com
27
selling fake pills? Since that’s so, what are you trying to do by meeting
with our master?”
Shopkeeper Zhao’s face carried a sneer as he spoke unhappily.
Gu Xianglin didn’t get angry, but replied in a calm manner, “Shopkeeper

Zhao. I would like to trouble you to report to your master. Just say that
the young master of the Cool Breeze Faction, Gu Xianglin, requests an
audience.”
“Haha!” Shopkeeper Zhao let out a burst of laughter, “Gu Xianglin, are
you thinking of using the Cool Breeze Faction to pressure us?
Unfortunately, I’m not impressed by your Cool Breeze Faction! Please
return from where you came from!”
Gu Xianglin’s expression turned uglier upon hearing those words. He

carried the faint trace of a sneer as he said emotionlessly: “I called you
Shopkeeper Zhao out of respect for Hundred Herb Hall. However, you’re
not qualified to speak to me. Get your master out here! Only he is
qualified to stand in front of me!”
Whoosh!
Right after Gu Xianglin finished speaking, the Cool Breeze Faction’s men
gathered behind him drew their weapons. They glared at Shopkeeper
Zhao threateningly with expressions full of mocking.
They looked as if they would turn the entire place into a bloodbath if
their young master gave the order.
“The Cool Breeze Faction… how awe-inspiring.”
At this moment, Gu Ruoyun, who had been sitting to one side and
watching the show, finally stood up. Brimming with smiles, she said: “I
didn’t think that a fraudulent young master from the Cool Breeze Faction
would actually throw his weight around compared to the legitimate
second young master from the Wind Hall. Tsk tsk, I have a whole new
level of respect for you.”
www.asianovel.com
28
Everyone knew that Gu Xianglin was just the adopted son of the Cool
Breeze Faction’s Faction Master, so he was deemed fraudulent.
However, this word stabbed him in his weak spot, so his expression
turned chilly in an instant.
“Little cousin, is that how you should speak to your older brother? Elder
Lei and those other people aren’t here right now. Who do you think can
protect you now? The Ghost Doctor? Although her medical skills are
great, it seems like she doesn’t have enough strength. If you’re thinking
of relying on her, then think again! Your Hundred Herb Hall only has a
single martial king, but our Cool Breeze Faction has two! A wise man
knows when to give up! Don’t make a decision you’re going to regret for
the rest of your life!”
Gu Xianglin was trying to persuade her, seemingly with good intentions.

His expression would make those who didn’t know him think that he was
just a good older brother, who was concerned for his little sister.
However…
Gu Ruoyun smiled: “Gu Xianglin, weren’t you so intent on seeing the

master of Hundred Herb Hall for the sake of the Longevity Pill’s formula?
You can just say it out directly, why beat around the bush?”
Although Gu Xianglin did have this idea in mind, he still felt rather
awkward after having his true intentions revealed. He used a righteous
tone as he spoke: “I don’t know what grudge you have with Grandfather,
but I, Gu Xianglin, have always treated you as a little sister. Pill formulas
are a great treasure to everyone on the mainland. When the time
comes, there’ll be many experts out to steal it. As someone from
Hundred Herb Hall, it’s not too safe for you. Out of consideration for your
safety, I want to take the pill formulas from Hundred Herb Hall and bear
all the risks and danger for you.”

Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Gu Ruoyun’s Ploy (1)
To the people gathered there, Gu Xianglin’s grim expression made it

hard to suspect the true motives behind his altruistic words. After all, he
was different from Second Master Gu. No matter how greedy he got,
there wouldn’t be a trace of it on his face.
However…
Gu Ruoyun smiled; her clear pupils were full of ridicule: “Then shouldn’t I
be thanking you for bearing all that danger in my place?”
“Of course.”
Gu Xianglin raised his arrogant face: “Ruoyun, Hundred Herb Hall is

keeping such a high profile now. Haven’t you thought of the danger
they’ll be in? Hundred Herb Hall has remained safe for the past three
years, but it doesn’t mean that no one will come to steal the pill
formulas in the future! That’s because those powers have been
preparing for some important matters these past three years, so they
didn’t have the time to bother with your Hundred Herb Hall!
Furthermore, the Beauty Rejuvenation Pills didn’t hold much attraction
to them. However, this time, with the birth of the Longevity Pills,
countless powers will surely come to fight for it. As someone within
Hundred Herb Hall, it’s impossible for you to remain uninvolved!”
“Also…” Gu Xianglin paused for a moment before he sneered and said,
www.asianovel.com
30
“Our Cool Breeze Faction won’t let go of such a great opportunity!

Ruoyun, did you think a tiny Hundred Herb Hall could compete with the
Cool Breeze Faction? I’ve been trying to persuade you on account of the
Gu blood in your veins. If it were some other person, I wouldn’t even be
using words!”
It was clear that Gu Xianglin wasn’t intending to leave until he got the
Longevity Pill formula today! They had to bring out both pill formulas by
any possible means!
“You’re right. Our Hundred Herb Hall is no match for your Cool Breeze
Faction.”
Everyone thought that Gu Ruoyun would rather die than give in, based
on her temperament. They hadn’t expected that she would say
something like that. The unexpected words made all of them stare
blankly at the girl’s pretty face in astonishment.
At this moment, none of them realised that a trace of cunning flitted

across her eyes when she lowered her gaze.
Following that, she slowly raised her head. Her bright and clear eyes
carried some cowardice as she spoke weakly: “Actually, the pill formulas
aren’t in Elder Yu’s hands. It was because I had these pill formulas when
Elder Yu took me in back then. If you want the pill formulas, you only
have to ask me for it. As they say, a wise man submits to circumstances.
I don’t want to make an enemy out of your Cool Breeze Faction, so if you
don’t trouble me anymore, I’ll give the pill formulas to you.”
This was within Gu Xianglin’s expectations.
He had thought a lot these past few days about why Hundred Herb Hall
was so protective of the orphaned Gu Ruoyun, and why the haughty
Ghost Doctor had become her disciple when Gu Ruoyun had never
learned medicine.
It was clear that there was only one reason; that Gu Ruoyun had
something that those two people treasured greatly.
www.asianovel.com
31
The legendary pill formulas!
He really didn’t know how Gu Ruoyun had gotten such a windfall. She
was lucky to have found the pill formulas. She even used them to control
Elder Yu and the Ghost Doctor! Hundred Herb Hall’s pills must have been
refined by the Ghost Doctor. Who else in this world could learn the art of
refining pills so quickly other than her?
“Ruoyun, rest assured. Once I become the Faction Master of the Cool
Breeze Faction, there’ll be benefits for you too.” Gu Xianglin smiled. He
hadn’t thought that things would go so smoothly.
Who said that Gu Ruoyun had become tough? That was because she had
Elder Yu and the Ghost Doctor to back her up. Once she had heard that
there would be many people coming to snatch the pill formulas, she had
immediately become scared. Wasn’t she obediently handing the pill
formulas over now?
www.asianovel.com
32
Chapter 161
“The Cool Breeze Faction is really despicable. They actually said that to
frighten a young lady and even threatened her! Tsk tsk, it looks like the
shamelessness of the Gu family is inherited from their genes.”
Seeing such a scene, everyone shook their heads. They clearly thought
the Cool Breeze Faction’s actions weren’t right.
Only Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Gu Xianglin in sympathy.
He understood his master’s personality clearly. When had she ever

given in to persuasion? By giving in now, it only proved that someone
was about to get suckered into her ploy.
“Then after I give you the pill formulas, you won’t come looking for
trouble anymore, right?” Gu Ruoyun looked timidly at Gu Xianglin and
spoke weakly.
There was no trace of the mighty aura she had had at the banquet.
However, Gu Xianglin wasn’t suspicious in the least. After all, she had
Elder Lei and the others backing her at the banquet, so she could take
on a tough attitude. Speaking of which, this girl was likely someone who
only bullied the weak and feared the strong. Furthermore, his words
must have frightened her thoroughly.
No matter what, Gu Ruoyun was only a young lady. She had never
experienced any hardships. Upon hearing that many experts would
www.asianovel.com
33
come looking for her, how could she not be afraid?
“Ruoyun, rest assured. I can swear to you that I can guarantee your
safety after you give me the pill formulas.” The corner of Gu Xianglin’s
lips lifted a little. If he gave the pill formulas to his adopted father, then
his successor’s seat was guaranteed.
Gu Ruoyun frowned and stayed silent for a while. It seemed like she
couldn’t bear to let go of the formulas, but she finally sighed and took
them out from her lapels.
Upon seeing her actions, Shopkeeper Zhao froze for a moment. He knew
that Eldest Miss had a mysterious interdimensional storage space.
Usually, she would take items out from that space. However, she was
taking the formulas out from her lapels today, as if… as if she had
already been prepared to do so?
Perhaps she had already guessed that Gu Xianglin would do this?
Thinking of that, Shopkeeper Zhao’s gaze was filled with pity. Gu

Xianglin would probably never find out that he had already leapt into the
trap that Eldest Miss had dug for him…
“These are the pill formulas,” Gu Ruoyun looked extremely unwilling, but
she still gritted her teeth and handed the formulas over to Gu Xianglin,
“Remember your words. After I give the formulas to you, the Cool
Breeze Faction isn’t allowed to make trouble for me. I’m not very brave
and I can’t withstand any frights.”
Gu Xianglin’s gaze landed on the pill formulas before him. His breathing
quickened and he reached out his hand in excitement. Upon gripping the
formulas, the smell of ancient paper hit him in the face, causing ripples
in his heart.
He had the impulse to burst out into laughter.
“Pill formulas. I’ve finally gotten pill formulas. The pill formulas that
everyone longs to find are in my hands right now, hahaha!”
www.asianovel.com
34
He was so absorbed in his emotions that he didn’t notice the lifted

corner of Gu Ruoyun’s lips.
Otherwise, he probably would’ve rethought everything he had done…
“Ruoyun, you’ve done the right thing today! You’ll never regret it for the
rest of your life! Let’s go!”
He had to quickly report this news to his adopted father. He would surely
be very happy…
In the instant after the Cool Breeze Faction left Hundred Herb Hall, the
entire hall quieted down. After a long while, someone spoke up from the
crowd in a confused tone.
“Miss Ruoyun, did you give him the pill formulas just like that? Then our
pills…”
“I didn’t have a choice,” Gu Ruoyun sighed with helplessness written all

over her face, “The Cool Breeze Faction is too strong. Our Hundred Herb
Hall isn’t a match for them in our current state. Furthermore, I’m just a
nobody, how can I fight with the Cool Breeze Faction? I had no other
choice. However, everyone, you can rest assured. Hundred Herb Hall will
continue selling pills. You can use the place on the list you’ve gotten just
now to buy pills.”
www.asianovel.com
35
Chapter 162
After hearing what Gu Ruoyun had said, everyone felt relieved. If the pill
formulas had been completely taken away by the Cool Breeze Faction,
they definitely wouldn’t get the chance to buy pills!
However, Wei Yiyi, who had not spoken a single word in the entire
exchange, couldn’t hold back an eyeroll.
A nobody?
Who didn’t dare to fight with the Cool Breeze Faction?
Was shifu sure that she was describing herself? Others might not know
of the trump cards that Gu Ruoyun held in her hands, but how could Wei
Yiyi not know of them? Without mentioning the two strong men she had
hidden away in the rear courtyard, just the spiritual beast Baobao alone
could probably invade the Cool Breeze Faction, no?
Shopkeeper Zhao coughed hard twice, clearly frightened by her words.

With an awkward expression, he said, “Everyone, I’ll give you some time
to prepare your gold. Come here to buy the pill within a month. If you
don’t come back in one month, your place will be given away. That’s all,
you can go back now.”
Everyone stood up and bid their farewells one by one. Some who had
prepared enough gold bought the pills on the spot. As for the others,
they still had to gather up enough gold…
www.asianovel.com
36
Very quickly, only Shopkeeper Zhao, Gu Ruoyun, and Wei Yiyi were left
in Hundred Herb Hall.
“Eldest Miss, you’re really quite something! You actually gave Gu

Xianglin fake pill formulas. When he finds out, it’ll be too late.”
Shopkeeper Zhao laughed out loud and looked at Gu Ruoyun with
admiration.
Gu Ruoyun smiled: “Who said the pill formulas were fake?”
“Uh.”
Shopkeeper Zhao choked. He thought that Gu Ruoyun had used fakes to

trick Gu Xianglin. Who could have thought that she had really given him
the actual formulas?
“When we auctioned off the Beauty Rejuvenation Pills three years ago,

why do you think we didn’t attract unwanted attention from the stronger
powers? It was thanks to some other powers suppressing the news so it
didn’t travel further… For example, places like the Medicine Order still
don’t know that Beauty Rejuvenation Pills have appeared in Azure
Dragon Country. However, it wasn’t easy for them to let us live in peace
for the past three years. If the news of the Longevity Pills spreads this
time, what do you think will happen, Wei Yiyi?”
Wei Yiyi groaned for a moment: “Although the Longevity Pill isn’t a pill
that can help cultivation, it still counts as a pill. For powers such as the
Medicine Order, once the word ‘pills’ comes into play, they absolutely
won’t ignore it! When the news hits, it’ll be as good as a death sentence.
Whoever has the formulas will be hunted to the ends of the earth and
killed! Besides, fake pill formulas might be able to deceive the Cool
Breeze Faction, but it won’t work against powers like the Medicine
Order!”
Back then, when Shifu had given her the Treasure Encyclopedia of
Medicine, she had suffered the machinations of that wretched couple.
Furthermore, Gu Ruoyun held the fabled pill formulas in her hands. How
could they possibly let her off easy?
www.asianovel.com
37
“That’s right,” Gu Ruoyun nodded, “I brought out the Longevity Pills for
sale because the Devil Sect needs a lot of gold to support its growth.
Pills are the quickest method to earn money for me. However, after this,
those pill formulas are going to be hot potatoes. Since a certain
someone is so willing to take them off my hands, there’s no reason to
look a gift horse in the mouth. Why wouldn’t I give them to him?”
While her words made a lot of sense, Shopkeeper Zhao still felt that
something wasn’t quite right. He thought for a moment before asking:
“Eldest Miss, what if the Cool Breeze Faction really finds out how to
refine pills? Then…”
“The pill formulas I gave him are real, but I changed the order of the
ingredients. Furthermore, pill refinement isn’t easy. Without a guide,
forget a couple of years; given a hundred years, it’d be impossible to
learn the techniques from just a formula. And if they’re not careful,
they’ll be blown to bits from trying! Why do you think no one has
managed to refine any pills for so long? Not only is there a lack of
formulas, but even if they had one, no one would have a clue how to
refine them!”
www.asianovel.com
38
Chapter 163

There were too many details to pay attention to while refining pills. If not
for Zixie standing by her side and guiding her back then, she wouldn’t
have learned it so quickly. No one had rediscovered the art of refining
pills even after so many millennia; of course it wouldn’t be as simple as
following a list of instructions. It was true that there was a lack of pill
formulas, but a skilled pill master could even create their own if they
wanted to. The path to become a pill master, on the other hand, was
where everyone was stuck.
“Eldest Miss, but what if those people try to kidnap you when they find
out they can’t understand the pill formulas?” asked Shopkeeper Zhao,
anxious. It was only natural that he worried.
Gu Ruoyun smiled. “I’ll have about five to six years before that happens.
Within those five to six years, I’ll be able to dominate the mainland! By
that time, who would still be able to kidnap me? Furthermore, with Gu
Xianglin’s IQ, he definitely thinks that the pills were refined by Wei Yiyi
and that the only reason she was following me was because of the pill
formulas in my hands. Those powers won’t dare to touch Wei Yiyi for the
time being, so I have enough time to prepare!”
Frankly speaking, Gu Ruoyun didn’t think much of the Cool Breeze

Faction.
www.asianovel.com
39
There were much stronger powers on the mainland, like the Weapon
Refining Sect and the Medicine Order, and there were still even stronger
powers to consider like the Spirit Sect…
She had to be a little more cautious!
Since Gu Xianglin was willing to bear the dangers for her, she had no
reason to reject him.
Shopkeeper Zhao forced a smile: “Eldest Miss, you’ve really thought of

everything. Gu Xianglin is a fool. He tried to steal the pill formulas in
such a public location with so many people around. He’ll regret it soon
enough.”
“If he hadn’t done it in such a public place, I wouldn’t have given them
to him,” Gu Ruoyun raised a corner of her lips, “However, Gu Xianglin
said something right: I definitely won’t regret giving him the pill
formulas. As for whether he’ll regret it or not, well… who knows? Right
now, everyone knows that Gu Xianglin has taken away the pill formulas,
so no one will trouble Hundred Herb Hall for the next few years.”
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao felt even more pity for Gu Xianglin.
Hadn’t he brought this upon himself? Perhaps not long after, neither the
Gu family nor the Cool Breeze Faction would be able to live in peace…
……
Ever since those people left Hundred Herb Hall, the news of the
Longevity Pill had spread. Those who had not arrived in time to get a
place in the buyers’ list were upset. An extra ten years of life was now
something they were unable to buy, even with 100 million gold coins.
Thus, a single place was now being sold for sky-high prices. Of course,
not many people were willing to sell their hard-won places. Only one or
two people in dire need of money had headed to Hundred Herb Hall
early that morning, all to queue up for the sake of getting that rare
place.
However, it was a pity. No matter how early they had gone there to
www.asianovel.com
40
queue, there was still a long line ahead of them. There were even people
who had rushed over from distant places for the chance to buy a pill…
At this time, within the study, Gu Xianglin held onto the token in his
hands as he spoke excitedly: “Foster Father, I have some good news to
tell you. That good-for-nothing from my Gu family managed to get a pill
formula from somewhere, so I used threats and bribes to take it from her
hands. I want to give it to you to show my filial respect.”
If someone had been in the room with him, they would have felt
extremely startled. Gu Xianglin was alone in the study, so who was he
speaking to?
After a long silence, a grave voice spoke from the token: “Is that true?”
“Definitely!” Gu Xianglin couldn’t hold back the tremors in his heart and
said: “I personally saw an elderly man on the verge of death recover his
vitality after using that pill. The imperial physicians had initially given
him just a month left to live, but now he can live for ten more years!”
www.asianovel.com
41
Chapter 164

The study sunk into silence once more. After a moment, the middle-aged
man’s voice rang out again. This time, it was clear that his breathing had
quickened.
“Keep the pill formula safe. Hand it over to me when you return.”
“Yes, Foster Father!”
Gu Xianglin was very emotional now. He could practically imagine how it

would be when he earned his foster father’s full trust and the candidacy
of next Faction Master…
It was at this moment that a knock came from outside the room. Gu
Xianglin frowned and cut off the conversation with the middle-aged man.
Upon raising his head to look and seeing Second Master Gu entering the
study, his tensed expression relaxed.
“Father, is something the matter?”
“This…” Second Master Gu rubbed his fists and lightly chuckled, “I heard
that you snatched two pill formulas from Gu Ruoyun?”
Gu Xianglin nodded and looked at Second Master Gu with suspicion:

“That’s right. I’m going to give them to my foster father as a gesture of
filial respect. With the pill formulas, I’ll be able to become the successor
to the Cool Breeze Faction.”
www.asianovel.com
42
“Stupid, you’re really stupid!”
Second Master Gu seemed to be disappointed in him for failing to meet

some hidden expectations as he said: “What’s so great about the Cool
Breeze Faction? They can’t even match up to the Dongfang family. I
know someone even more powerful, and he’s very strong! Much
stronger than the Dongfang family and the Weapon Refining Sect! If we
offer the pill formulas up to that power, our Gu family will have even
more benefits.”
More than ten years ago, he had helped that power get rid of Gu Tian.
However, because Gu Tian’s body had not been left as evidence, that
power had removed all the benefits he had given him in a fit of rage.
Other than being tasked to watch Gu Shengxiao and Gu Ruoyun, there
had been no other movement from him. However, if Second Master Gu
offered up the pill formulas to him, then he could borrow that
organisation’s power. Even some simple benefits would be enough to
reign like a tyrant in Azure Dragon Country.
His imagination went wild as he thought of his future domination.

Second Master Gu broadly grinned and looked at Gu Xianglin with glee.
Gu Xianglin frowned: “Father, that power you’re speaking of is…”
“This, I’m actually not too sure of it myself,” Second Master Gu shook his
head. With a reverent expression, he said, “Although I don’t know where
that person comes from, I can understand how great that power is! For
example, a single person from that organisation could flatten the entire
Cool Breeze Faction. Imagine: just how much power must they have to
be able to do that?”
Gu Xianglin’s heart shook. A single person would be able to flatten the

entire Cool Breeze Faction? Under this sky, there were only three
organisations who had that kind of power…
How did Father get acquainted with that kind of expert? Could he be
trying to trick him into giving away the pill formulas?
www.asianovel.com
43
After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Xianglin slowly spoke up: “Father, I
want to meet the person you speak of. If the power he’s from really has
that kind of ability, then I’ll gladly give up the pill formulas.”
Second Master Gu knew that his son didn’t trust him. However, he didn’t
get angry. When they got their benefits, who would he have to fear?
Even the Dongfang family wouldn’t be strong enough! Furthermore, he
was going to return every bit of humiliation that Dongfang Shaoze had
given him that day!
“Alright, I’ll take you to see that person. However, you absolutely can’t
let your grandfather know of this.”
Otherwise, that old man would surely know how Gu Tian had died…
Although that old man had always been selfish, he had looked very
favourably upon Gu Tian. After all, ten years ago, Gu Tian had been the
kind of genius that could be counted on one hand! With him around, who
would have dared to disrespect the Gu family?
However, ever since he had died, the Gu family had suffered much
humiliation. This drop in status had driven Old Man Gu crazy. How could
Second Master Gu let him discover that he had been the one who had
helped those people kill Gu Tian?

Chapter 165: The Dispute Over Pills (1)
Gu Xianglin didn’t say any more and followed him out. If that power was
really as strong as Father had said, then what was the harm in giving
him one of the pill formulas? He had two in his hands right now anyway.
……
They eventually arrived at a mysterious secret room. It was lit by

candlelight; the two side walls were lined with candlesticks, each
crowned by a flickering flame. Their fluctuation was mirrored in the
shadows cast across the space, and because of it, the room’s lighting
was in a constant state of alternation between dark and light.
Second Master Gu looked at the elder standing in front of him with a

respectful, humble expression.
That elder’s face was hazy, as if he was hidden in a black mist. At the
very least, they could tell he was dressed in a grey robe, but anything
about his face was obscured. It didn’t matter how intently Gu Xianglin
observed him; he just couldn’t get a clear picture of the man’s face.
It seemed like the elder had felt his measuring gaze, because a powerful
aura burst out towards Gu Xianglin, easily suppressing him. Gu Xianglin
trembled in fear; he hurried to cast his gaze downwards and didn’t dare
to look again.
www.asianovel.com
45
However, from just that one blurry glance, Gu Xianglin could tell that this
person was very strong!
Unbelievably strong!
No wonder Father had said something like that. If he were able to

receive this person’s guidance, even creating his own sect wouldn’t be a
problem, let alone becoming the young master of the Cool Breeze
Faction.
“Why have you called me here today, brat?” The elder’s voice was very
low, yet it held an aura of undeniable majesty. “Or rather, have you
completed the task I gave you?”
Second Master Gu smiled sheepishly. “My lord, this time I have brought
something good to offer to you.”
“Oh?” The elder sent Second Master Gu a dubious look. Then, aloof, he
said, “You should know that I’m not interested in ordinary items. If what
you have brought doesn’t interest me, then you know what the
consequences are!”
Second Master Gu unconsciously broke out into a cold sweat. He gritted

his teeth and said, “My lord, the item I brought for you today will surely
interest you greatly. That’s because it’s a pill formula that my son stole
from someone else’s hands with much difficulty!”
Pill formula…
These two words were like a thunderclap sent straight into the elder’s
ears.
Although Second Master Gu couldn’t see his expression clearly, he could

feel the air around them turning grave. After a long time, the elder’s
deep voice rang out again: “You’re being serious?”
“Extremely serious.”
Second Master Gu wiped away the cold sweat that had accumulated on
his forehead and cast a look at his son. The only sound in the room was
www.asianovel.com
46
the elder’s heavy breathing as Gu Xianglin took the cue and slowly
walked forward.
“My lord, this is the pill formula I’ve obtained.”
Gu Xianglin’s face no longer held the arrogance it normally did. He

respectfully passed the pill formula over to the elder, who received it
with shaking hands.It was obvious that he was having difficulty staying
calm.
It felt like an eternity had passed before the elder slowly spoke: “It’s a
pill formula, it’s really a pill formula! This ancient aura cannot be faked! I
didn’t think a pill formula would ever appear again, even in a hundred
million years! Brat, you’ve done well!”
Right now, even if Gu Xianglin couldn’t see the expression of the man in
grey, he could visualise the sheer jubilation that would be on his face!
Even the strongest experts would reveal their true nature in the face of
a pill formula; they would even fight to the death for them!
“My lord, only an expert like you is fit to use this kind of priceless
treasure,” Second Master Gu said, putting on a smile meant to flatter,
“However, could you perhaps gift me with a pill when you succeed in
refining some? I would like to live for another ten years too.”
The grey-robed man nodded, and with his mind cast to a faraway place,
he replied with, “I can promise you that. However, the art of refining pills
has been lost for many years. If I want to succeed in refining them, I
need at least ten years to study the pill formula! Furthermore, shouldn’t
you bring out the other pill formula you have on you?”
When he finished speaking, his gaze landed on Gu Xianglin.
Gu Xianglin’s body suddenly trembled, his eyes full blown with terror.
He had been intending to give the other pill formula to his foster father!
In fact, he had already promised it to him! If he brought it out now and
gave it to the elder, then when he showed up empty-handed to meet
with his foster father… Gu Xianglin would surely be blamed!

Chapter 166

“Why? Am I not fit to have the other pill formula?”
The grey-robed elder looked at Gu Xianglin indifferently. His pitch

dropped as he intoned: “It looks like your Gu family’s sincerity only goes
so far!”
“My lord, I can swear right now and prove to the heavens that I am
utterly devoted to you!” Second Master Gu hurriedly cast another look at
Gu Xianglin, “Quickly, give our lord the formula for the Beauty
Rejuvenation Pill.”
“But…” Gu Xianglin’s heart trembled, “I promised my foster father that I

would give him a pill formula. If I gave them both away, how am I going
to account for it before my foster father?”
With his foster father’s temper, he would definitely explode out of rage.
When that happened, if this great expert wasn’t willing to guide him,
then his last hope would be gone.
“Hmph!” The elder snorted and the temperature of the room

plummeted. “Gu Ming, you said that your son used tremendous effort to
obtain that pill formula all for my sake, but I see that that’s not the case.
What do you have to say for it?”
Gu Ming was Second Master Gu’s name. Upon hearing the elder’s words,
www.asianovel.com
49
Second Master Gu trembled where he stood. His heart thumped inside

his rib cage, evidence of how deathly afraid he was that the person
before him would, in a fit of unhappiness, instantly annihilate him.
“My lord, you have to believe me, I’m only loyal to you! Until my death,
you’re the only person I’ll ever be loyal to! No one else deserves my
fealty!”
Afraid that the elder would not believe his words, Second Master Gu
walked up to Gu Xianglin. His gaze hardened. With a threat sown into his
tone, he said, “Son, I’m your father. You have to listen to me in all
matters. Even if you have been claimed by the Cool Breeze Faction’s
Faction Master as an adopted son, you’re still my biological son and I’m
still your biological father! I order you to hand over the pill formula,
immediately! This lord is very strong; even several hundred Cool Breeze
Factions wouldn’t be enough to match his might. As long as you obey,
there’ll be rewards for you.”
In that instant, Gu Xianglin’s gaze turned heavy and he clenched his

fists.
To be honest, he really did want to get into the good graces of this
expert. However, he had always been conservative in his actions and
would never back himself into a corner. If he handed over the pill
formula now, then he would offend his foster father greatly.
Gu Xianglin was currently regretting his decision.
He was regretting that he had hurriedly reported the good news of the
formulas to his foster father.
If his foster father didn’t know that he had obtained a pill formula, then
he wouldn’t be in this mess right now.
However, he also understand that he was just an ant to the expert

before him. If the expert wanted to kill him, then he could simply do so.
If Gu Xianglin refused to hand over the pill formula, then he probably
wouldn’t even be able to walk out of this secret room…
www.asianovel.com
50
Gu Xianglin took in a deep breath and slowly reached into his lapel.
Under the watchful gaze of the elder, he took out that ancient pill
formula.
His eyes were filled with reluctance and conflict, but ultimately, he still
handed over the pill formula to the grey-robed elder.
In the instant that the pill formula exchanged hands, his body felt on the
verge of collapse. Gu Xianglin leaned against the wall behind him, knees
weak, and slowly closed his eyes. He didn’t want to look at the pill
formula that had left his hands…
“Good,” The grey-robed elder stored the pill formulas within his lapels
and nodded in satisfaction. “Seeing as you handed over the pill formula
in the end, I’ll forgive your earlier mistake in hiding it! Since your
contributions are equal to your wrongs, I won’t punish you anymore.”
Contributions equal to wrongs?
What did he mean?
Gu Xianglin’s eyes widened as he stared at the elder, stunned.
“‘My contributions are equal to my wrongs? What wrongs have I

committed? My contributions were cancelled out in the end? What about
the rewards? Where are the rewards you promised after I handed the pill
formulas over?”
www.asianovel.com
51
Chapter 167

“Rewards?” The grey-robed elder sneered. “You had two formulas but
only gave me one. You’re still thinking of getting rewards? I’m already
letting you leave with your lives intact out of consideration for two pill
formulas! Gu Ming, is this how you’ve raised your son? He’s actually
demanding rewards from me?”
Thump!
Second Master Gu was so scared that he kneeled down. While trembling,

he said: “My lord, there’s something wrong with my son’s mind. Please
don’t bother with him; he didn’t mean it. We’re meant to serve you, my
lord, so it’s only natural that we gave you those two formulas. We won’t
ask for any rewards.”
“Hmph!” The grey-robed elder, frigid in his countenance, scoffed and

said, “I’m going back to study these formulas. Don’t call me if there’s
nothing to report. Also, don’t forget the mission I gave you back then.”
Second Master Gu’s body trembled. He wanted to speak up, but the
elder’s figure slowly faded and disappeared right before his very own
eyes.
From start to finish, Gu Xianglin had been staring straight at Second

Master Gu. His disappointment and deep pain were self-evident.
www.asianovel.com
52
“Didn’t you tell me that he would bring us endless rewards if we gave

him the pill formulas? So why is it that I’m left with nothing after I gave
him what he wanted?”
Hearing this, Second Master Gu was unhappy and said: “If you hadn’t
tried to hide the last formula, we wouldn’t have ended up with nothing!
This expert is prone to a bad temper. If something displeases him, he’ll
totally renege on his previous promise! Wasn’t it you who ruined
everything?”
Back then, he had helped this person execute the murder of Gu Tian.
However, it was because they hadn’t found Gu Tian’s body that he had
reneged on the promise back then.
Thus, if Gu Xianglin hadn’t concealed the last formula, this wouldn’t

have happened.
It was all his fault!
Fate was surely laughing as, with impeccable timing, a grave voice
sounded from the communication token in Gu Xianglin’s hands: “Lin’er, I
don’t think it’s safe to leave the pill formula with you alone, so I’ll send
some experts to escort you back. Hello? Lin’er, can you hear me?
Lin’er…”
The man’s voice kept calling, but Gu Xianglin didn’t reply. He gripped
the token in his hands, a bitter smile hanging at the corner of his lips.
This time, he had really shot his own foot!
Not only had he lost two pill formulas, but now it was inevitable that he
would eventually lose his foster father’s trust in him…
“This is all Gu Ruoyun’s fault!”
That’s right, it was all that woman’s fault!
If she hadn’t given the pill formulas to him, this wouldn’t have
happened! So this was all her fault!
www.asianovel.com
53
“Young Master, Young Master, something bad happened!”
As he strode out of the secret room, they heard an anxious voice calling.
Following that, one of the disciples ran in, gasping for breath as he said:
“Young Master, news has spread across the entire mainland that Young
Master has two pill formulas in hand. Countless experts are heading this
way right now…”
Whoosh!
Gu Xianglin’s mind abruptly crashed. Cold sweat dripped down his

forehead. He felt giddy and weak, almost collapsing in a mess on the
floor.
“I’m done for. This time, I’m really done for… Who? Who spread the
news?”
Gu Ruoyun!
Suddenly, Gu Xianglin thought of that pretty face, and hatred filled him.
Who else could have spread the news so quickly aside from Hundred
Herb Hall?
No wonder she had handed over the pill formulas so obediently. She had
been planning to trick him all along!
Good; very well! Gu Ruoyun, you were the one who forced me into this
mess! I definitely won’t let you live!
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 168

“Wei Yiyi, don’t you think there’s been quite a number of experts in
Azure Dragon Country lately?”
On the streets, Gu Ruoyun looked at the experts hidden in the crowd.

She smiled at the sight, lifting a single eyebrow as she turned back to
Wei Yiyi.
Wei Yiyi covered her mouth as she laughed. Her charming eyes
narrowed as she said, “Wasn’t this because the Gu family’s Gu Xianglin
snatched the pill formulas out of your hands some time before?
Someone spread the news, so many experts have come to target the Gu
family! You can imagine the chaos they’ll be in from now on…”
Wei Yiyi was right. Ever since someone had purposely spread the news,
there were numerous people invading the Gu household in the middle of
the night to try to steal the formulas! The entire Gu family wasn’t able to
rest in peace. Old Man Gu tried to announce that the pill formulas had
been stolen away, but no one believed it since there were no witnesses.
Thus, the flow of people lured in by the pill formulas was endless.
Of course, within this period, Hundred Herb Hall was still selling pills as
usual. However, no one set their sights on Hundred Herb Hall. Everyone
assumed that the one helping Hundred Herb Hall to refine the pills was
the legendary Ghost Doctor, and no one wanted to offend her. In
www.asianovel.com
55
comparison, the Gu family was an easier target.
It was only now that Gu Xianglin finally realised how stupid he had been
to snatch away the formulas!
He had thought that none of the witnesses that day would talk about
what had happened for fear of retribution from the Cool Breeze Faction,
but it had actually been spread until everyone knew what had
happened…
The mood was disrupted as an arrogant voice filtered in from the

entrance of Hundred Herb Hall, slipping right into the ears of Gu Ruoyun.
“Where did this little beggar come from? Scram right now! Don’t block
our crown prince’s way!”
Crown prince?
Leng Yanfeng?
Gu Ruoyun’s brows furrowed and she raised her head to look. An

imperial guard was kicking away a beggar covered in dirt. He drew his
sword before the people gathered in front of Hundred Herb Hall and
coldly said: “Our crown prince is here. Any bystanders should scram
right now!”
With a single order, the onlookers who couldn’t afford to offend the
imperial family rush off.
Only the beggar who had been kicked remained. He scrambled up again,
dirty little face unexpectedly fierce as he said: “I want to meet the Ghost
Doctor!”
“Hmph!” The guard snorted and pointed his sword at the beggar. He
declared: “The Ghost Doctor will only meet His Highness today! Anyone
else should leave right now or face my sword!”
Leng Yanfang had not said anything since the beginning; he gave his
tacit approval of his guard’s actions.
www.asianovel.com
56
The little beggar bit his lip and stubbornly said: “I want to meet the
Ghost Doctor! She’s the only one who can help me!”
“Brat, didn’t you hear what I said?” The guard strode forward and picked
up the beggar by the collar. His disdain for the beggar was clear as day
as he said, “With our crown prince here, do you think the Ghost Doctor
will bother with a little beggar like you? The Ghost Doctor’s fees have
always been exorbitant. Do you have enough gold to meet her? Why
don’t you take a look at yourself first! Scram!”
Bang!
The guard used a bit of force and tossed the little beggar away.
However, the little beggar never felt the impact of the hard ground.
Instead, he fell onto a soft chest, and a sweet, elegant aroma filled his
nose, freeing him of his worries…
The girl’s voice was level, yet full of mockery as she said, “What awe-
inspiring authority from the crown prince! However, aren’t you exerting
your authority in the wrong place? This is Hundred Herb Hall’s territory.
Furthermore, when has the Ghost Doctor ever agreed to meet you?”
www.asianovel.com
57
Chapter 169

This voice was rather familiar to Leng Yanfeng; it was exactly the same
as it had been three years ago.
Once that recognition had fully settled in his mind, he slightly lifted his
head and, while maintaining the persona of the aloof crown prince, he
gazed past the crowd to single out one face in particular.
In three years’ time, the girl had lost the tender look of a child and
transformed into an elegant beauty.
Moreover, he never could have imagined that the woman he had

deemed a servant back then was actually the fearsome Ghost Doctor,
and the former good-for-nothing had actually turned into the Ghost
Doctor’s shifu!
Leng Yanfeng had a complicated look in his eyes as he said, “Gu

Ruoyun, I didn’t think that you would be connected to the Ghost Doctor.”
“There are a lot of things you’ve never thought about,” Gu Ruoyun

sneered, “However, Your Highness, if you’re looking for the Ghost Doctor
to cure your… ailment… Sorry, even if the Ghost Doctor was able to cure
that, she wouldn’t help you!”
Leng Yanfeng’s eyes darkened. With an unreadable expression, he

asked, “If you haven’t even seen it, how do you know that it can’t be
www.asianovel.com
58
cured?”
“Pfft!”
Someone laughed. Wei Yiyi stepped out, a single eyebrow arched as she
addressed him: “Your Highness, I’m a pure and innocent girl, yet you’re
trying to make me treat your tool? Let me tell you, if you had come to
beg for my help three years ago, I might have been able to treat it.
However, now that three years have already passed, even the God of
Medicine wouldn’t be able to treat you!”
Most importantly, she had never intended to treat him.
Wei Yiyi pouted. She still hadn’t forgotten how this fellow had kept
troubling her shifu for his own selfish desires! If she cured him, wouldn’t
that be causing trouble for Shifu? No way! She absolutely wouldn’t do
such an insensible thing!
“You’re really not going to treat me?” Leng Yanfeng’s eyes turned chilly
and he walked a few steps closer to Wei Yiyi. The air he breathed out
was frigid as he spoke. “Ghost Doctor, forget that I’m the crown prince
of a country. I’m an inner disciple of the Weapon Refining Sect. Now, are
you willing to treat my ailment or not?”
“No!”
Wei Yiyi raised her chin and sneered as she looked at Leng Yanfeng.
Was there anyone on this mainland who didn’t know that the Ghost
Doctor had a strange temper? She would never treat anyone she didn’t
want to, even if the Heavenly Emperor himself requested it! But what
Heavenly Emperor was there? He was just an inner disciple of the
Weapon Refining Sect at the end of the day.
“Very well!”
Leng Yanfeng took a deep breath and his tone turned even icier: “I
hope… you don’t regret this! Let’s go!”
When he finished saying his piece, Leng Yanfeng turned and left without
www.asianovel.com
59
looking back. However, his calm front was belied by the two fists tightly
clenched at his sides. A glacial winter had begun to build in the depths
of his eyes…
After they had left, Gu Ruoyun cast a measuring gaze at the little beggar
before her.
He was rather young and looked to be about ten years old or so. His
clothing was tattered, his face was covered in a layer of dirt, and his
body was stick thin, as if a sudden breeze could knock him over.
However, those big, bright eyes of his carried a stubbornness all their
own, and it was that charisma that highlighted the sharp, domineering
aura that belonged to kings.
It was hard to imagine that this kind of expression came from a ten year
old child.
“You’re the Ghost Doctor?” The little beggar’s eyes stared straight at
Wei Yiyi without any emotion; they didn’t even carry the normal
excitement most people would have when looking at the Ghost Doctor.
He looked at her with calm attention and said, “I heard that the Ghost
Doctor appeared in Azure Dragon Country’s Hundred Herb Hall, so I
rushed all the way here. I didn’t think that I would really be able to meet
you! There’s hope for me now!”
Wei Yiyi raised her eyebrow, and was about to reject the little beggar’s
plea for help. However, just as she was about to speak, Gu Ruoyun was
one step ahead of her. There was a smile in her shifu’s voice when she
spoke next.
“Wei Yiyi, this child is rather interesting, don’t you think?”
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Subduing the White Tiger (1)
Wei Yiyi stared blankly for a moment upon hearing Gu Ruoyun say so.
She then carefully observed the little fellow before her.
She could see the worry and tension on that dirt-covered little face; his
small fists were clenched tightly as he looked at the two women before
him with an obstinate and staunch stance.
“This is… eh?”
Wei Yiyi seemed to have discovered something as her eyes widened in

surprise: “This kid has some sort of strong power sealed in his body.
That power has been absorbing the spiritual power in his body to
survive, so that’s why his power has been so low all these years. What a
waste of a good talent.”
The Ghost Doctor shook her head in pity.
“No!” Gu Ruoyun shook her head, “It’s not some power that’s been
sealed in his body; it’s a spiritual beast! I’m guessing that this kid must
have gotten badly injured when he was young, and he was supposed to
have died. However, someone caught a spiritual beast and sealed it in
his body so that he could continue living. What you said was right, this
fellow’s spiritual power is quite unusual. With proper training, he could
definitely become a peerless genius! His achievements definitely
wouldn’t lose out to my father’s! Otherwise, this spiritual beast wouldn’t
have chosen to save him…”
www.asianovel.com
61
Of course, this was what Zixie had told her via soul telepathy.
Even so, the little boy looked at her in astonishment, a glimmer of hope
revealed in his eyes.
“Do you have some way to help me? I heard that the Ghost Doctor can
do anything, so only the Ghost Doctor can save me! If I continue on like
this, I’ll never become strong in my whole life. Please help me!”
Wei Yiyi smiled, “Little kid, I’m a human, not a god. I can’t do everything.
Speaking honestly, I don’t have any way to help you, since this isn’t a
wound or a sickness! How do you want me to help you?”
Most importantly, Wei Yiyi was a little scared of the spiritual beast in the
boy’s body. She subconsciously didn’t dare to accept his request for
help.
The little beggar lowered his head with some disappointment. The Ghost
Doctor was his last hope, but if even this last shred of hope was gone,
would he have to remain a good-for-nothing forever?
No!
Absolutely not! If there was no way to raise his power, then there would
be danger lurking on the horizon for his family…
“Actually, if you want to save him, it’s not like there’s no way to do so.”
Suddenly, a devilishly charming voice rang out from her soul, as if

someone had just spoken by her ear.
Gu Ruoyun raised a brow: “What’s your solution?”
“It’s simple,” Zixie’s tone carried disdain towards Gu Ruoyun’s question,

“Won’t everything be solved if you just subdue the spiritual beast in his
body? Although that spiritual beast isn’t very strong right now, the White
Tiger was one of the Four Divine Beasts at the very least.”
Whoosh!
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes widened in astonishment.
www.asianovel.com
62
What did Zixie just say? The White Tiger that was one of the Four Divine
Beasts?
Back when this mainland had been formed, it had been led by the Four
Divine Beasts: Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger and Black
Turtle. At the start, the four beasts had each guarded a direction,
protecting the structure of this mainland. Later on, the four beasts had
mysteriously disappeared, and no one had seen traces of them ever
since.
Furthermore, the four countries in this West Spirit Mainland were named
after the Four Divine Beasts. Could there be some link in this?
“Girl, remember that you’re the owner of the Ancient Divine Pagoda.
Although the Four Divine Beasts are very strong, that’s only when
they’re up against other people. When I was at my peak, even when all
of them came at me together, they weren’t even my match.
Unfortunately, I’ve already lost most of my power right now. If you
subdue the White Tiger, then your journey will become much safer.”
www.asianovel.com
63
Chapter 171

Gu Ruoyun was completely shocked.
The Four Divine Beasts weren’t a match for Zixie? Then, just how strong
was Zixie when he was at his peak?
“Shifu, what happened?”
Wei Yiyi looked doubtfully at Gu Ruoyun, blinking in puzzlement as she

asked.
“It’s nothing,” Gu Ruoyun shook her head and looked at the

disappointed little beggar, “Kid, I might be able to help you solve the
problem of that spiritual beast in your body.”
The girl’s calm voice disturbed the little beggar’s thoughts. He hurriedly
raised his head; his obstinate gaze stared at Gu Ruoyun. In that instant,
even his breathing had quickened.
“You… Are you serious?”
All these years, his dad had sought countless people for help, but those
people were unable to do anything about the spiritual beast in his body.
Until now, Gu Ruoyun was the only one who had ever said that she
might have a solution for him…
Hope made his heart light up again.
“I can help you, but I have two requests,” A glint of light flashed across
www.asianovel.com
64
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes as she smiled at the little beggar, “Firstly, the spiritual
beast in your body will belong to me. Secondly, at the same time, you’ll
belong to me too!”
The little beggar froze for a moment before sinking into silence.
After a long time, he raised his head again, and his bright eyes stared at
Gu Ruoyun unblinkingly.
“For your first request, to be honest, many experts have also wanted to
subdue the spiritual beast in my body all these years. However, they all
failed and many were even devoured by the spiritual beast. As for the
second request…” The little beggar hesitated, “I need to ask my father.”
“That’s fine.”
Gu Ruoyun nodded: “I’ll give you some time to consider it. If you follow
me, not only will I guarantee that the spiritual beast in your body will no
longer hurt you, I can also guarantee that you’ll grow to the point that
you’re invincible at the fastest speed!”
To be honest, with the little beggar’s innate talent, all she needed to do
was train him a little and he would become a strong expert who could
shake up the four nations!
Of course, other than her interest in the White Tiger, she was also willing
to help him because she was extremely interested in the little guy’s
talent. No one would be able to easily let go of such a great talent…
“I’ll discuss it with my father for a period of time. Could I stay with you in
the meantime?” The little beggar bit his lip and asked, a little nervous.
“You can, but…” Gu Ruoyun smiled, “Is there something you haven’t
told us? For example, from your aura, I can tell that you’re the son of a
noble family. How did you end up like this?”
The little beggar had not expected that Gu Ruoyun would ask a question
like that. He stayed silent for a moment before saying: “I’m the only son
of my family, and I’m the only successor left in the family. My family is
www.asianovel.com

at heads with another family. If that family finds out that I came here to
seek the Ghost Doctor’s help, they would definitely find a way to stop
me. Thus, Father could only secretly send me out here. For the sake of
avoiding the notice of that family, he couldn’t send anyone to protect
me. Furthermore, I’m not supposed to contact him except at critical
moments. I don’t have much strength, so I ended up like this. At least
I’ve finally found the Ghost Doctor and there’s a way to save me now…”
The little beggar’s face was full of emotion. This older sister had been
called shifu by the Ghost Doctor, her medical skills must be very strong.
This made him unconsciously willing to trust her…
“Alright.” Gu Ruoyun nodded slightly, “Wei Yiyi, take him to shower and
give him a change of clothes before you bring him to see me.”
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked into Hundred Herb
Hall without looking back…

Chapter 172

After cleaning him up, Wei Yiyi quickly brought the kid to Gu Ruoyun.
The little kid was dressed in silk. His large eyes were looking at Gu
Ruoyun distractedly. His face had become fair and tender after washing
up, and his features were pretty and delicate. It was clear that he was a
noble little shota.
“Shifu, this little guy’s quite good-looking. When he grows up, he’ll
surely become a handsome man. Why don’t you just keep him as a male
pet?” Wei Yiyi smiled charmingly and pinched his lovely skin.
The little shota was a little angry, but also afraid that Gu Ruoyun
wouldn’t help him subdue the spiritual beast in his body anymore, so he
could only bear with it and stare anxiously at the girl sitting on the chair
before him.
“I just spoke with my father, he gave me permission to agree to your

conditions. Of course, that’s if you cure me.”
After he finished speaking, the little shota bit his lip. He looked like he
had just been bullied.
“If you can treat me, I’ll belong to you. You can do whatever you want to
me, and I won’t fight back.”
Hearing this, Wei Yiyi froze for a moment. She had only been teasing
him casually, she hadn’t expected that this little guy would take it for
www.asianovel.com
67
real. If those two guys in the backyard find out that she’s actually
helping shifu collect male pets, then…
Thinking of the consequences, Wei Yiyi couldn’t help but break out into
cold sweat.
Regardless of whether it was Qianbei Ye or Zixie, they weren’t people

that a nobody like her could afford to offend…
“Rest assured, I don’t have any interest in that sort of thing. I only hope
that you can lend me a helping hand in the future,” Gu Ruoyun smiled
faintly, “Right now, I’ll start treating your body.”
Zixie had just told her that the White Tiger had hidden in this little
shota’s body because she needed to recover from the wounds on its
body by using the spiritual qi in his body. If she could bring something to
lure out the White Tiger, it would be much easier to subdue her.
Of course, the precondition was that she needed to communicate with

the White Tiger somehow…
Zixie was unable to help her with this point, and she would need to
accomplish it herself.
However, Gu Ruoyun’s words made the little kid heave a sigh of relief.
He lightly bit down on his lower lip and said: “I’m called Bai Chuan. If you
cure me, I’ll definitely keep to my promise. That spiritual beast and I will
belong to you.”
“Good, sit down.”
Having said so, Gu Ruoyun smiled gently at Bai Chuan and sat cross-
legged. Following that, when the kid sat in front of her, she directed a
thread of her spiritual consciousness into the little guy’s thin back, then
entered into his spiritual ocean.
Suddenly, a small, blue lake appeared in Gu Ruoyun’s sights.
Bai Chuan’s spiritual ocean wasn’t as vast as hers, but it was rather
impressive in comparison to most people. However, in the middle of that
www.asianovel.com
68
little lake, there was a swirling whirlpool sucking up all the water…
Very quickly, the lake turned into a dry lakebed.
“So that’s what happened!” Realisation struck Gu Ruoyun, “The White

Tiger is living in Bai Chuan’s spiritual ocean and she’s using the spiritual
qi to recover her strength. Bai Chuan can’t break through because all
the spiritual qi that he absorbs is used up by her!”
Just as she was about to let her spiritual consciousness enter the
spiritual ocean, a formless force streaked across the sky and hit her with
a bang.
Within the room, Gu Ruoyun’s face turned pale and sweat ran down her
body in rivulets. She gritted her teeth, but she refused to retrieve her
spiritual consciousness and continued to observe that lake.
“Who has the gall to disturb my cultivation?”
A cold shout transmitted from the spiritual ocean, carrying a strong

pressure.
Following that, someone dressed in a simple yet elegant yellow dress

strode out from within the spiritual ocean. The dress billowed in the wind
as if each step had brought forth a breeze.

Chapter 173

The woman had an indifferent expression on her beautiful face, like a

chrysanthemum flower blooming with an enchanting fragrance on a
remote mountain.
However, that was only on the surface. The woman’s features held a
cold arrogance, and she had a king’s domineering aura as gifted by
nature.
“You’re the White Tiger, Yunyao?”
Gu Ruoyun’s voice pierced through the layers of white mist and

resounded in the elegant woman’s ears.
The woman smiled and said: “Yunyao… Hehe, it has been many years
since someone has called me by that name. Little girl, do you know what
kind of place this is? What are you doing here?”
Gu Ruoyun returned the smile before replying: “I know you’re living in

the body of this child called Bai Chuan, and that you need to use his
spiritual qi to nourish your injured body. I’m the person he has called to
subdue you.”
“Subdue me? Haha.”
Yunyao couldn’t resist laughing out loud. Even when she was laughing,
her appearance remained noble and graceful; this was what a real
www.asianovel.com
70
aristocrat looked like.
“Such a huge boast for a little girl. You’re just a little martial general,
and you have the nerve to subdue me? Since you know that I’m the
White Tiger Yunyao, why are you making such a boast? I’d like to see
what abilities you have to subdue me today!”
As a spiritual beast with the bloodline of a Divine Beast, even if she was
seriously injured, the White Tiger’s strength could not be belittled.
However, this little girl was only a martial general and was trying to
subdue her?
This was too laughable!
Bang!
Yunyao exerted the pressure of her power, trying to break Gu Ruoyun’s

thread of spiritual consciousness. She had thought that it would be as
easy as swatting a fly, but very quickly, the smile on her face froze…
The other’s spiritual consciousness was thin, but it still remained within
Bai Chuan’s body, drifting about erratically.
“Little girl, it looks like I’ve underestimated you! Although you don’t
have much power, your willpower isn’t too shabby. You’ve managed to
withstand my pressure, but your body on the outside must be feeling
pretty bad now, isn’t it?”
Yunyao was right.
The Divine Beast’s pressure was too overwhelming. Gu Ruoyun had

resisted with all her might to keep her spiritual consciousness from
dispersing, since it would be hard for her to enter again if it disappeared.
However, with this move, her body had suffered heavy injuries.
If her spiritual consciousness hadn’t been stronger than normal, she

might even have turned into an idiot.
“Yunyao, you’ve been dwelling in Bai Chuan’s body simply because you
want to heal your injuries. What if I can help you treat them?”
www.asianovel.com
71
Gu Ruoyun smiled faintly, and Yunyao’s watching gaze changed.
Yunyao froze for a moment before she sneered: “Little girl, why should I
believe you? Humans have always been sly. If it weren’t for you sly
humans, I wouldn’t have suffered such serious injuries and been unable
to heal them for so many years. I also wouldn’t have lost contact with
my three companions.”
She had never held much goodwill towards those crafty humans, and
this girl had declared her intention to subdue her the moment they’d
met. This girl was no different from the humans who had used all sorts
of tricks to hurt them, and who had almost succeeded in trapping them.
“If you don’t believe me, I can let you try it out.”
Gu Ruoyun knew that Yunyao wouldn’t believe her so easily, so she let
the spiritual qi from within the Ancient Divine Pagoda leak out.
Endless spiritual qi entered Bai Chuan’s body from that thread of

spiritual consciousness, and rushed towards that dried up lake.
Yunyao’s body stiffened abruptly. Other than astonishment, there was

undisguised excitement and happiness on her face.
She couldn’t resist closing her eyes and quickly absorbed the spiritual qi
that Gu Ruoyun had brought out into her body.

In that moment, she felt that her internal organs had been enveloped in
that warm and gentle spiritual qi. She felt like a weight had been lifted
from her entire body, and she couldn’t help but take a deep breath of
air.
Following that, she opened her eyes. Her beautiful pupils were locked
dead on Gu Ruoyun. It was clear that Gu Ruoyun was much more
enticing than Bai Chuan to her now.
Even if she stayed in Bai Chuan’s body for five to six years, it wouldn’t
even be able to match the amount her body had recovered from that
burst of spiritual qi just now.
“Girl, speaking honestly, that spiritual qi you just transferred to me is

indeed very tempting, but I, Yunyao, am not willing to submit to any
humans. Otherwise, I would have just willingly become the mount for
those humans then, and I wouldn’t have suffered such grievous injuries!
However, if you give me the spiritual qi to heal my body, I’ll fight for you
for that period of time in return! Although I’m currently badly injured,
there’ll be no problems unless you meet a martial emperor.”
“Alright.”
Gu Ruoyun sunk into silence for a moment before agreeing to Yunyao’s

request: “Leave Bai Chuan’s body now and I’ll send you to a place where
www.asianovel.com
73
you can rest and recover from your injuries.”
After she finished speaking, she couldn’t hold on to that thread of

spiritual consciousness any longer. She hurriedly pulled out from Bai
Chuan’s body and took in a deep breath.
“Shifu, how did it go?”
Wei Yiyi stood to one side anxiously. She was just about to inquire about
the results when she saw a thick mist dispersing from Bai Chuan’s body,
which quickly coalesced into a young woman dressed in a yellow dress.
“It’s… it’s out.”
Tears suddenly flowed out of Bai Chuan’s eyes.
He hadn’t cried despite the countless times he had failed to break

through. He hadn’t cried despite how he had suffered on the journey to
find the Ghost Doctor. Even when he had finally seen Wei Yiyi, he hadn’t
cried… But now, seeing that Yunyao had left his spiritual ocean, Bai
Chuan couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into tears.
No matter how mature he acted, he was still a child. The emotions he

had held back all these years finally exploded and he felt the strong
urge to hug Gu Ruoyun and kiss her.
Yunyao had left; in other words, he was no longer a good-for-nothing!
After all the humiliation and disdain he had faced all these years, how
could he not be excited now?
“Shifu, you… you subdued her?”
Wei Yiyi couldn’t refrain from widening her eyes. She held endless
admiration towards Gu Ruoyun in her heart. She hadn’t expected that
shifu would be so strong as to subdue this spiritual beast! Would anyone
in Azure Dragon Country even dare to come looking for shifu and cause
trouble now?
“Yunyao, I’ll send you off to rest.”
www.asianovel.com
74
Gu Ruoyun didn’t say much more, but simply let Yunyao enter the
Ancient Divine Pagoda. Anyway, Zixie was inside the Ancient Divine
Pagoda. She wasn’t worried that she would cause a ruckus or anything…
As for whether Yunyao would spread news of the Ancient Divine Pagoda
to the outside world, she wasn’t worried about that either.
Firstly, Yunyao wasn’t able to leave the Ancient Divine Pagoda now.
Secondly, very soon, Yunyao would still become one of the great
generals under her command in the end!
“Wei Yiyi, I suffered some injuries just now and I need to recover. Bring
Bai Chuan out with you first, don’t come in until I allow you to.”
Gu Ruoyun shut her eyes weakly, her face extremely pale.
Wei Yiyi was very worried in her heart, but she knew that wounds of this
caliber weren’t a problem at all with Shifu’s abilities. Thus, she nodded:
“Okay, Shifu. I’ll wait outside the door. Call me if you need anything.”
After saying so, she dragged away the bawling Bai Chuan and walked
out without looking back.
When the two of them had disappeared, Gu Ruoyun then entered the
Ancient Divine Pagoda, just by thinking about it.
Ever since she had become a martial warrior, she needed to break
through two ranks to enter the next level of the Ancient Divine Pagoda.
Thus, it was only when she had passed the martial knight rank and
become a martial general that she was able to enter the third level of
the Ancient Divine Pagoda and receive the rewards there.
The snow wolf Baobao and the Longevity Pill formula were the treasures
she had obtained on the third level.
At this moment, within the Ancient Divine Pagoda, a large and

formidable white tiger was currently hiding in a corner, trembling. The
fur on her body was standing on end, as if there was something scary
nearby.

Chapter 175
“Yunyao, why did you revert to your original body? And what are you
doing hiding in the corner?” Gu Ruoyun was a little astonished. She had
witnessed Yunyao’s haughtiness for herself, so what had occurred to put
her in this state?
Zixie glanced at Yunyao. “I’m not sure. She became like this once she
saw me.”
Before Zixie had spoken, everything was fine. But once he spoke, the
frightened White Tiger almost jumped straight out of her pelt. The
tremors that had wracked her body only increased at the sound of his
voice..
Gu Ruoyun thought that if there was a crevice within the Ancient Divine
Pagoda right now, Yunyao would definitely choose to burrow into it.
At a time like this, she had abandoned all her previous haughtiness and
had even forsaken her dignity.
“Girl, what kind of place did you bring me to? Why is this guy here?
Why?” Yunyao was so scared that even her voice had begun to tremble.
Inwardly, she scolded Gu Ruoyun a thousand times over.
This damned human had still tricked her in the end.
She had actually brought her to the territory of that god of pests! Was
she even going to have the chance to leave with her life intact?
www.asianovel.com
77
“Who?” Gu Ruoyun stared, bemused. She really didn’t know what

Yunyao was talking about.
“Who else could it be?” Yunyao wanted to glare at Gu Ruoyun, but upon
detecting the dangerously cold aura radiating from Zixie, she was so
frightened that she lowered her head, “This plague god, the Ancient
Phoenix Zixie! I trusted you; why did you trick me? And if that wasn’t
enough, you even brought me to this demon’s lair!”
“…”
Gu Ruoyun was completely speechless. She looked at Zixie and raised

an eyebrow in question. “What did you do last time? How did you scare
the White Tiger to this point? She even calls you… a god of pests?”
“Didn’t I tell you before? Even if all four Divine Beasts came at me
together, they wouldn’t be a match for me. I wasn’t just using that to
describe my strength. Many years ago, they actually did so.”
With a casual shrug of his shoulders, Zixie nonchalantly continued: “I

simply beat them all up. After that, they disappeared from my sight and
never came looking for me again.”
Yunyao, indignant, nearly leapt to her feet. Just a beating? How could it
have been that simple? If that had been all there was to it, then it
wouldn’t have left them traumatised to the point where they would
check for this god of pest’s whereabouts every time they left their
houses! They absolutely would not go to any place he was visiting!
Just as Yunyao was contemplating how to escape, she spotted Zixie

walking towards her. It scared her so much that she decided to
accelerate her plans and leave immediately. However, this was the god
of pests’ territory; was there any room for escape here?
“Yunyao, there are many people on this mainland searching for this
Ancient Divine Pagoda. Now that you’ve entered this place, I can’t be at
ease.”
Zixie watched Yunyao with his signature devilish smile. It made Yunyao
www.asianovel.com
78
absolutely terrified; she was about to suffocate from fear.
Yunyao was really regretting her decision now!
She could have stayed in a perfectly good spiritual ocean, but thanks to
Gu Ruoyun and her tempting spiritual qi, she had left her sanctuary and
stepped right into the god of pests’ territory. Now she was about to lose
her life over that stupid decision! If she had known that the spiritual qi
had come from Zixie’s home, if she had known Gu Ruoyun had planned
to trick her, if she had known death was just one short step away… She
should’ve just let her body slowly recover. That would have been better
than meeting this god of pests…
“You… what do you want?”
Yunyao clenched her teeth, but they chattered anyway, clacking against
each other as they revealed her underlying fear.
“It’s simple,” A corner of Zixie’s lips lifted into a smile, “You have two
choices. One, I’ll destroy your soul! Two, make a contract with her! Only
then will I be able to trust you!”
Actually, Zixie had been waiting for this all along.
If he had made any sound while Gu Ruoyun and Yunyao were talking
earlier, this little tiger would have definitely hidden in that spiritual
ocean and refused to come out! Thus, he could only wait until Gu
Ruoyun had lured her into the Ancient Divine Pagoda. Only then could he
step out and make his threat…
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 176

Yunyao’s eyes darted about as she weighed the pros and cons. She
knew that Zixie was always true to his word, even if he was a god of
pests. However, she wasn’t too willing to submit to a human and
become a slave.
“So, have you finished considering your options?” Zixie glanced at

Yunyao and said, “You can choose to reject both options, but… you
should be clear what the consequence to that would be!”
Yunyao gritted her teeth. As they said, better a bad life than a good
death. She could agree to this god of pests’ conditions first, and then
she could find a chance to leave once she had recovered her strength.
“Alright, I agree.”
Seeing Yunyao’s unwillingness displayed all over her face, Zixie smiled.
How could he not understand what Yunyao was thinking inside? What a
pity. For the rest of her life, she wouldn’t ever be able to escape Gu
Ruoyun’s control…
“Girl, make a contract with her,” Zixie pointed towards Yunyao and
faced Gu Ruoyun as he spoke, “Once you contract with her, she’ll have
to protect you with her life. With her by your side, I’ll be at ease.”
No matter what, Yunyao was still pretty powerful. This was also the
www.asianovel.com
80
reason why Zixie had let Gu Ruoyun subdue her.
“Awooo.”
Seeing that her master had subdued another spiritual beast, Baobao
hurriedly rubbed her head against Gu Ruoyun’s thigh, as if telling her
master not to forget about her once she had a new pet.
“Zixie, thank you.”
Gu Ruoyun smiled gently at Zixie in gratitude, “You’ve helped me so

much on my journey of growth. If it had not been for you back then, my
soul would definitely have been destroyed!”
“Oh?” Zixie caressed his chin and scanned her up and down with an evil
smile. His gaze seemed to pass through her clothes. “You’ve filled out
rather well in these three years. So, if you really want to show your
gratitude, why not give me your body in return? What do you think?”
While speaking, he moved closer and closer to Gu Ruoyun until he had

forced her into a corner. That warm breath of his fluttered against her
neck, tickling her.
Gu Ruoyun backed up a few steps until her back hit the icy cold wall. Her
casual reply was: “Humans and beasts can’t be together, so I’m afraid I
can’t repay you with my body.”
“Girl, don’t you know that spiritual beasts are no different from humans
once they have achieved a human form?” Zixie’s purple eyes narrowed;
he sent her a charming smile as he said, “If we have children together,
they’ll be humans. If you don’t believe me, we can try it out.”
Looking at the handsome face right in front of her, Gu Ruoyun’s heart

wasn’t moved at all. A faint smile hung on her lips as she said, “Even so,
it doesn’t change the fact that you’re a phoenix. I’m not interested in
interspecies relations. If you’re in heat, then go find a female phoenix. I
have zero interest in you.”
Zixie’s expression immediately turned dark. What was this girl saying?
www.asianovel.com
81
Not only was she disdaining his spiritual beast blood, she was even
claiming he was in heat?
“Alright, girl. I won’t tease you anymore. Let’s talk about business.” Zixie
took a deep breath. He was really afraid that he would die out of anger
from this little fellow’s words if they continued their conversation. “I’m
going to continue my closed cultivation now. I won’t be able to appear
for awhile. If there’s any danger, send Yunyao out; don’t bear with it by
yourself.”
Gu Ruoyun froze for a moment. Had she seen wrongly? Was that a trace
of love in Zixie’s eyes just now?
This guy would actually feel love for her?
In her heart, Zixie was both a teacher and a friend. He was extremely
strict when he needed to be. As for love… she had never seen that
before.
In the corner, the White Tiger who had curled up into a ball glanced at
Zixie before looking back to Gu Ruoyun. Her eyes darted between the
two of them.
Something smelt fishy!
There was definitely something fishy between Zixie and this girl!

Chapter 177

Chapter 177: The Assassin from the Dark Yin Palace (1)
Yunyao was inwardly shocked. From what she could see, this human girl
seemed very ordinary. What made that god of pests take a fancy to her?
If she made a contract with this human, would she get enough power to
make the Ancient Phoenix bow to her?
“Zixie, I won’t disturb your closed cultivation then. As for Yunyao, stay in
the Ancient Divine Pagoda and recover from your injuries for now. When
I need you, I’ll bring you out.”
Gu Ruoyun yawned. She hadn’t seen Xiao Ye for a whole day; he was
probably pitifully drawing circles in a corner somewhere.
……
In the imperial palace, a poised, elegant lady sat on a chaise. She

casually played with her nails as she said, “How are the preparations
going?”
An imperial guard respectfully replied: “ Reporting to Imperial

Concubine, we’ve already prepared the items you wanted. We’ve sent
them to the elder of Dark Yin Palace and they’ve already accepted our
mission.”
“Good, very good!” Imperial Concubine Ling sneered and stood up. A
glint of malice flashed across her beautiful eyes. “It’s been three years.
www.asianovel.com
83
Gu Ruoyun, it’s been three years since you killed my Ling family. For
these three years, I’ve spent every moment thinking about this grudge!
However, I didn’t have the power to deal with you back then! It took me
three years of searching to find a technique valuable enough for the
elder of Dark Yin Palace to agree to my request! This time, even if you
have the protection of Hundred Herb Hall, your death is guaranteed!”
Heaven knew how she had muddled through these past three years.
Even His Majesty himself had refused to help her take her revenge!
Thus, she could only depend on herself! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have
had to waste three years’ time searching for something that the elder of
Dark Yin Palace valued.
She would let that woman know that there were consequences to killing
a member of the Ling family! Anyone who killed her family would have
to go to the underworld and answer for their crimes!
……
It was night. Moonbeams filtered in through the window, falling upon Gu

Ruoyun’s fair visage.
Gu Ruoyun was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her eyes closed. There
was a thick layer of spiritual qi encasing her entire body, slowly entering
through her pores.
Suddenly, a burst of strange fluctuations came from behind the door. Gu

Ruoyun abruptly opened her eyes. Cold light flashed across her clear
pupils as she said: “Someone has entered the formation! I wonder who
has come to disturb us at such a late hour!”
The formation in this compound had been set up by Zixie. Those whose
ranks were lower than martial emperor would never be able to get out!
She tossed her sleeves and got up, striding out with large steps.
“Shifu.”
Wei Yiyi spotted Gu Ruoyun from afar and hurried to shout out to her.
www.asianovel.com
84
Bai Chuan was standing in brocade clothing next to her, bashful. When
he looked at Gu Ruoyun, his gaze carried a little awkwardness, most
likely because he had thought of Wei Yiyi’s proposal to make him into a
male pet.
Of course, Gu Ruoyun didn’t bother with him and walked to Wei Yiyi
without leave. She asked: “Who’s the intruder?”
“I’m not sure.”
Wei Yiyi shook her head. “That fellow’s still within the formation. I was
waiting for him to spend all his strength before I capture him for
interrogation.”
“There’s no need for such trouble,” Gu Ruoyun smiled, “Yunyao, go and

get him for me.”
Whoosh!
A light flashed, and in the blink of an eye, an elegant woman dressed in

chrysanthemum-yellow clothes appeared before the men of the Devil
Sect. Her black tresses fell like a waterfall, her every gesture was
extremely graceful and noble; she was exactly like a true well-bred
young lady.
However, upon seeing what happened next, everyone’s expressions

changed…
www.asianovel.com
85
Chapter 178

Yunyao’s form flashed as she charged directly into the formation. It had
not even been ten minutes when she emerged, lugging a man dressed
in blood-red clothing along with her. She unceremoniously threw him
before Gu Ruoyun’s feet.
“Just one?”
Wei Yiyi froze for a moment and turned a flabbergasted gaze on Gu

Ruoyun.
From the start, Yunyao had a sweet, shallow smile on her face. She
easily replied to Wei Yiyi’s comment by saying: “Didn’t you want to
interrogate them? One person’s enough. As for the rest, I killed them
all.”
Sssst!
Everyone sucked in a breath. Where had this woman come from? She
had charged right in and right back out of that formation, all in one
piece! The enemies inside were all slain by her hand, and she had even
brought one back with her alive for interrogation purposes!
Most importantly, she had done everything within ten minutes!
When did Eldest Miss draw an expert like that to her side?
www.asianovel.com
86
“The Dark Yin Palace?”
After seeing the mark on the assassin’s body, Gu Ruoyun’s expression

immediately turned cloudy.
The Dark Yin Palace was different. When others carried out
assassinations, they would conceal their identities with the utmost
caution. However, the assassins of the Dark Yin Palace didn’t do so. It
was exactly the opposite: they would wear uniforms marked with their
organisation’s crest, and on top of that, they would even send
declarations before the assassination, ensuring the target knew with
certainty that the deed would be done by their Dark Yin Palace.
Actually, it was likely that these people hadn’t come here to kill her;
they had merely come to deliver the declaration.
They hadn’t expected to step into a formation and end up dead.
“Hmph!” The man in blood-red clothing harrumphed and said: “I didn’t

think that our Dark Yin Palace would end up failing our mission this time!
However, Gu Ruoyun, our Dark Yin Palace is out for your life. You’re not
going to live for much longer, hahaha!”
The man laughed when he saw Gu Ruoyun’s expression shift. With his
occupation, of course he loved to see the frightened expressions of
others.
However, he didn’t know that, rather than out of fear, Gu Ruoyun’s

expression had changed because of the evildoer Zuo Shangchen.
She knew that Zuo Shangchen was the young master of the Dark Yin
Palace. That fellow had actually sent people to assassinate her?
“Shifu, watch out!”
Suddenly, Wei Yiyi’s face abruptly changed when she saw that the man
had tossed a venomous bug towards Gu Ruoyun’s face. Unfortunately,
Gu Ruoyun was still deep in her thoughts and wasn’t able to recover her
senses in time…
www.asianovel.com
87
“Scram!”
It was at this moment that a loud shout came from behind Gu Ruoyun.
Miraculously, the venomous bug that had been about to attack her
suddenly reversed its course and bit the neck of its master instead.
“AHH!!”
The man screamed his lungs out, and before everyone’s eyes, his flesh
began to peel off bit by bit, until he was just a puddle of pus and blood…
“Roar!”
With a loud roar, Yunyao instantly changed into an enormous white tiger
under the gazes of the crowd and ducked into a corner with a crash. Her
whole body started trembling in fright as she stared at the man standing
behind Gu Ruoyun.
Everyone gaped. That elegant and noble lady was actually a spiritual
beast? And why did she become a little scaredy cat all of a sudden…
Wait!
Spiritual beast? In human form?
Ssssst!
The crowd sucked in their breaths again and cast their stupefied gazes
at Gu Ruoyun.
Their master was the coolest. Even a spiritual beast that could take on
human form was obeying her commands. Who else in this world had that
kind of ability other than their master?
Could Gu Panpan do that? Could Shiyun do that?
Although Shiyun had great natural talent, she couldn’t match up to their
master in aspects such as these…
“Xiao Ye, why have you come?”
Gu Ruoyun stared at Qianbei Ye with some astonishment. Actually, even
www.asianovel.com
88
if Qianbei Ye hadn’t acted just now, that man in blood-red clothing

wouldn’t have been able to succeed in his ploy anyway.

Qianbei Ye frowned. A dark haze eclipsed his incomparably beautiful

face as his blood-red pupils fixed on the puddle of blood. In the dark of
the night, his silver hair and red clothes made everyone’s eyes drawn to
him unconsciously.
“Xiao Yun, he tried to kill you. The men from Dark Yin Palace tried to kill
you. I’ll go and destroy Dark Yin Palace now, okay?”
From the way he said it, destroying the Dark Yin Palace was as easy as
eating a meal.
“Xiao Ye…” Gu Ruoyun gazed into his eyes, startled.
“They deserve to die! Anyone who tries to kill you… deserves to die!”
Yes, anyone who tried to touch her deserved to die!
If every single person on the mainland wished to touch her, then he

wouldn’t mind massacring the entire population.
“Xiao Ye,” Gu Ruoyun gently smiled at him as if she was comforting a

child, “Aren’t I perfectly fine now? Furthermore, I need to figure out
some things.”
She wanted to know why that evildoer had sent assassins from Dark Yin
Palace to deal with her.
www.asianovel.com

“Alright.”
Qianbei Ye was an obedient child. However, he only ever listened to Gu

Ruoyun. If anyone else tried to dictate his actions, they would likely be
drowned in a sea of blood.
“However, once you’ve figured it out, I’ll go and destroy Dark Yin Palace,
okay?”
After a bit of thought, Qianbei Ye still decided that he wasn’t going to let
them off. Who gave them the guts to come and hurt Xiao Yun?
Gu Ruoyun faintly smiled but didn’t say anything. Turning around, she
spotted Yunyao hiding in the corner. Astounded, she asked: “Yunyao,
what are you doing there?”
When she heard Gu Ruoyun speak, Yunyao trembled in fright. Had she
gotten eight lifetimes’ worth of bad luck somehow? Wasn’t meeting that
god of pests enough? Why did this guy appear, too?
What kind of person was this girl? Why were so many strong experts
related to her?
Yunyao wanted to cry. She was probably the only spiritual beast in the
world who had to live through such tragic circumstances.
“A tiger?” Qianbei Ye cast a glance at Yunyao and frowned. “I don’t like

the tiger tribe. Xiao Yun, can I kill her?”
Yunyao was so frightened that her entire body shook. Finally, with a
quick spark of her wit, she let out a soft: “Meow~”
Pu-tong!
Wei Yiyi almost fell to the ground, her head full of sweatdrops. Was this
fellow really the White Tiger of the Divine Beasts? Even the mouse tribe
had more courage in the tip of their tails than Yunyao had in her entire
body!
“Xiao Ye, you have a grudge against the tiger tribe?” Gu Ruoyun asked,
www.asianovel.com
91
astonished.
Qianbei Ye thought for a bit before answering: “They’re too noisy.”
Alright!
Gu Ruoyun was completely speechless in regards to Qianbei Ye. She

turned to look at Wei Yiyi and said, “Wei Yiyi, we’re going to the guest
house. That fellow Zuo Shangchen probably hasn’t left yet. I want to
question him on what he’s trying to do!”
“Yes, Shifu.”
Wei Yiyi’s lips curled. A cold glint flashed across her narrowed eyes.
The actions of Dark Yin Palace had completely crossed the line! So what
if they were an organization of assassins? So what if they were strong?
Simply having power wasn’t enough to deter the Devil Sect! Justice
would be served for their master, one way or another.
Within the guest house, Zuo Shangchen was lying indolently on a chaise,
waving the fan in his hands back and forth. Suddenly, the door to his
room was kicked open, and a pretty, familiar figure appeared in his
sight.
“Xiao Yun’er, it’s so late in the night. Have you come to warm the bed of
this prince?”
Zuo Shangchen sent his nighttime intruder his signature devilish smile,
gaze full of affection. He slowly got up.
Gu Ruoyun’s expression was dark. “Zuo Shangchen, your Dark Yin

Palace just sent people to assassinate me. Why don’t you start
explaining?”
Despite her usual prudence, she had only brought Wei Yiyi before
charging in because she still trusted Zuo Shangchen. She had known
him for three years after all; Zuo Shangchen didn’t seem like the kind of
person who would do something like that.
www.asianovel.com
92
However, it was also a fact that the assassins had come from Dark Yin
Palace. No matter what the truth would reveal, she had to get Zuo
Shangchen to go and investigate!

Chapter 180

Chapter 180: Zuo Shangchen’s Rage Awakens (1)
“Xiao Yun’er, are you joking with me?”
Zuo Shangchen couldn’t resist smiling, displaying his utterly beautiful

visage, magnificent and peerless.
Even Gu Ruoyun had to admit that her breath was taken away by his
beauty every time they met, even though they had already known each
other for three years.
However, when a man’s beauty was this breathtaking, it made all the
women in this world seem like dirt in comparison.
“This prince would have to be crazy to send the Dark Yin Palace to
assassinate you. Furthermore, if you die, then wouldn’t that brother of
yours turn the world upside down?”
Most importantly, he had no reason to kill Gu Ruoyun. So it was

impossible that the Dark Yin Palace would attempt to assassinate her!
Whoosh!
A cold blade rested on Zuo Shangchen’s neck. Wei Yiyi carried a

seductive smile on her lips as her eyes emanated frost: “The assassins
who came this time were definitely people from the Dark Yin Palace.
Fourth Prince, please give us an explanation!”
www.asianovel.com
94
“Impudent!”
Upon seeing Wei Yiyi’s actions, Qingyi’s expression turned icy. She tried
to draw her sword, but Zuo Shangchen raised his hand and stopped her
movements.
“Qingyi, back down.”
The smile on his face disappeared, bit by bit. His mesmerising eyes
slowly narrowed as he asked: “Xiao Yun’er, you’re being serious?”
Judging by Gu Ruoyun’s personality, she wouldn’t come looking for him if

she wasn’t absolutely sure.
Thus, it was definitely true that the Dark Yin Palace had sent people to
assassinate her!
Rage awakened in Zuo Shangchen’s heart. Which damned bastard had

done something like this and caused him to become their scapegoat?! If
he finds the culprit, even tearing that fellow into a thousand pieces
wouldn’t be enough to soothe the rage in his heart!
“What do you think, Fourth Prince?” Gu Ruoyun smiled, “If it wasn’t for
the formation set up in my compound, my head wouldn’t be resting on
my shoulders right now! So, do you think that what we’ve said is true?”
After hearing Gu Ruoyun call him Fourth Prince, Zuo Shangchen knew
that she was angry. However, what she had said was true. Whenever the
Dark Yin Palace attempted to kill someone, if the first attempt didn’t
succeed, then they would simply send more people, pledging their lives
until the mission was a success. With Gu Ruoyun’s current level of
strength, she wouldn’t be able to fight on the same level as the old
bastards in the Dark Yin Palace.
Thus, her anger was completely within reason. She had almost died for
no apparent reason at all, how could she not be angry?
“Xiao Yun’er, I was wronged,” Zuo Shangchen’s face was filled with
grievance, “I really didn’t know about this. If you can give me some
www.asianovel.com
95
time, I’ll investigate this matter and report back to you.”
Gu Ruoyun stayed silent for a moment before gesturing for Wei Yiyi to
sheathe her sword, a bright smile on her face.
Upon seeing that smile, Zuo Shangchen unconsciously shivered.
“Fourth Prince, do hurry and find the culprits behind this. If this spreads
to the people by my side… Although I’m not strong enough right now,
trust me, the day will come when I sink the entire Dark Yin Palace!”
Zuo Shangchen’s body shook a little. His almond-shaped eyes stared

deeply at the slender girl before him. At this moment, the girl had an
endlessly domineering aura, like a ruler looking down upon the world.
He believed that Gu Ruoyun had the ability to keep to her word.
A Qi level two good-for-nothing had reached this level in just three to

four years’ time!
There were probably only a few geniuses in the strongest sects who
could match this kind of talent.
However, compared to those geniuses, Gu Ruoyun’s spiritual ocean was

much more vast and endless; it was much harder for her to cultivate and
break through! Under those kind of circumstances, she had even
advanced so quickly in rank.
www.asianovel.com
96
Chapter 181

If she wasn’t a genius amongst geniuses, then who could be one?
Furthermore, Gu Ruoyun’s talent would only be revealed at a later

stage. The higher the rank, the more bottlenecks one would encounter.
While everyone else gets stuck trying to break through bottlenecks, she
would be able to break through immediately.
That is to say, as long as Gu Ruoyun fills up her spiritual ocean, she

would be able to break through without any bottlenecks in her way.
“Qingyi, go investigate immediately! Find out who tried to assassinate

Xiao Yun’er!” Murderous intent flashed across Zuo Shangchen’s eyes,
“No matter who it is, they have to be sentenced to be ripped apart by
horses and have their souls disappear!”
Qingyi’s heart shook as she looked at Zuo Shangchen’s face with some
fear. She hurriedly kneeled down on one knee and said respectfully:
“This subordinate will do as you bid!”
This time, her lord’s rage had really awakened!
She didn’t know who had been so short-sighted to accept a mission they
shouldn’t have. It was their just deserts to face their lord’s rage now!
Even their lord didn’t dare to harm Gu Ruoyun, the culprits behind this
were too reckless!
www.asianovel.com
97
If their lord failed to give Miss Gu a proper explanation, the Dark Yin
Palace definitely would not be able to suffer her older brother’s anger…
“Seeing as you’ve shown a proper attitude, I won’t hold this matter over
your head. However, if I find out that you’re sheltering the people of the
Dark Yin Palace, then… get ready for a lifetime of fear!”
After she finished speaking, Gu Ruoyun glanced at Zuo Shangchen and

walked out without turning back.
Behind her, Zuo Shangchen gazed at the girl’s slender figure, a bitter
smile hanging on his lips: “Xiao Yun’er’s temperament is rather similar
to Gu Shengxiao’s; they won’t let themselves get taken advantage of!
These two are really a pair of siblings. Qingyi, go now and investigate. I
don’t want Xiao Yun’er to have any misunderstandings about me.”
However, within these four nations, there probably wasn’t any other
person who would dare to threaten him besides her.
……
Within the inner palace, in a bedroom, Imperial Concubine Ling looked at

the elder sitting behind a screen. Her heart was worried sick as she
asked: “Elder Liu, I heard that there’s a formation set up over the
compound that Gu Ruoyun lives in. The men from the Dark Yin Palace
will be fine, right?”
The white-robed elder called Elder Liu smiled haughtily: “I’ve already
asked around about it, so there’s someone who’s proficient at
formations amongst the people I sent this time. At Gu Ruoyun’s level,
even if she found someone to deploy a formation for her, it would likely
just be a common one.”
“Then I’ll be at ease.”
Imperial Concubine Ling sighed in relief before malice flashed across

that noble and poised countenance; a sneer at the corner of her lips.
Gu Ruoyun, I wonder how you’ll feel once you receive that Declaration of
www.asianovel.com
98
Death from the Dark Yin Palace! You’ll probably faint from fright! This is
what you get for making me your enemy!
Three years ago, I’ve already pledged my life to avenge this grudge!
“Something bad… Imperial Concubine, something bad has happened!”
Suddenly, a hasty shout sounded from outside the room.
Following that, a man in an imperial guard’s uniform quickly ran in and

hurriedly made a greeting. He reported anxiously: “I was observing the
situation from outside the entrance. Those people entered the
compound a long time ago and never came out. However, just now, the
people inside threw a bunch of corpses out and cremated them right
outside the entrance.”
“What did you say?”
Imperial Concubine Ling’s face instantly warped. Without waiting for her
to continue speaking, the elder by her side hit the table with a bang. His
expression was extremely ugly as he said: “Gu Ruoyun, you’ve actually
made our Dark Yin Palace fail a mission! It looks like I have to carry the
mission out personally this time!”
www.asianovel.com
99
Chapter 182

Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Ling’s unhappiness turned into a

tranquil calm.
That’s right, even though those people have died, there was still the
powerful Elder Liu. Gu Ruoyun definitely wouldn’t be able to continue
living!
“Elder Liu, since that formation is so formidable, what if Gu Ruoyun

hides in the compound once she finds out that the Dark Yin Palace is
trying to kill her?”
“Hmph!” Elder Liu harrumphed, “I’ve checked up on her situation early

on. This Gu Ruoyun is a sentimental sort of person. I just have to capture
someone close to her, and she wouldn’t be able to stay hiding in there!
Since she’s chosen to kill the men from my Dark Yin Palace, she has to
pay for it, an eye for an eye!”
The Dark Yin Palace seemed mighty in the eyes of the common people
mainly because of this: if a person failed to execute the mission, then
someone stronger than him would continue with the mission until the
target died! Thus, a person who had been sent a Declaration of Death by
the Dark Yin Palace definitely wouldn’t be able to live for more than half
a month!
“Thank you for taking the trouble, Elder Liu.”
www.asianovel.com
100
Imperial Concubine Ling was inwardly overjoyed; it also showed on her

face as she thanked the elder.
“However, Elder Liu, could you hand Gu Ruoyun over to me to torture

after you cripple her? She has killed so many people of my Ling family, I
won’t be able to rest easy if I don’t avenge them personally.”
“There’s no problem with that.”
Elder Liu nodded: “I’ll capture someone close to her tomorrow and force
her out!”
From the start, he had never taken Gu Ruoyun seriously. Even if

Hundred Herb Hall had a martial king in residence, but that early stage
martial king good-for-nothing wasn’t even fit to match blows with him!
Seeing that Elder Liu’s face was full of confidence, Imperial Concubine
Ling’s joy was displayed in her eyes. It was as if she could see Gu
Ruoyun kneeling while begging for mercy in front of her; how satisfying!
“Father, Ling Xi, Ling Yu. Just you wait. I’ll send your enemy to hell to
atone for her crimes! When the time comes, I’ll cripple all her limbs,
snap the tendons in her legs, break her spiritual ocean and make her a
piece of crap you can bully!”
While thinking of it, she burst out into wild laughter. The tears in her
eyes mixed with her malice and hatred towards Gu Ruoyun…
However, Gu Ruoyun had never expected that Imperial Concubine Ling

would hold such hatred towards herself. The entire Ling family had been
destroyed by her hand, so as someone of the Ling family, it was within
reason that Imperial Concubine Ling held such an enormous grudge.
It was only because Hundred Herb Hall was too powerful that Imperial
Concubine Ling didn’t dare to touch her.
If she was given the chance, she would surely stab Gu Ruoyun in the
back.
……
www.asianovel.com
101
In the early morning, at daybreak.
On a street not far from Hundred Herb Hall, a young boy about ten years
of age was gazing curiously at the stalls around him, finding it to be
novel. He said: “Moyu-jiejie, where are you taking me to?”
The girl he called Moyu was the Devil Sect’s Right Protector and the Hall
Master of the Pill Hall. After she had created the Devil Sect, Gu Ruoyun
had passed on the art of refining pills to Moyu and left the management
of the Pill Hall to her.
Gu Ruoyun had taken a shine to Bai Chuan’s talent in cultivation, but his
talent in refining pills was equally high, so she had entrusted him to
Moyu.
“Xiao Chuan, I’m going to bring you to our headquarters. Master has a
new mission for you.”
Moyu smiled. Looking at the little shota’s soft and tender cheeks, she
couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch them.
Bai Chuan’s expression turned dark. He couldn’t understand why all

these women were so perverted, they all liked to pinch his face…
Except Gu Ruoyun!
That fellow only had cultivation on her mind. It was as if there was
nothing else in her head other than cultivating and developing her power
base.
www.asianovel.com
102
Chapter 183

Moyu abruptly halted her steps and gripped Bai Chuan’s hand tightly.
She looked at the elderly man blocking their way with a cautious gaze.
The elder was dressed in a white robe and standing with his hands
behind his back. He looked like an immortal to the bone, except for that
arrogance and viciousness in his muddy pupils.
“Who are you?” Moyu’s slender brows furrowed as she carefully pushed
Bai Chuan behind her.
The elder looked coldly at the two of them and said: “You’re from
Hundred Herb Hall? Who is Gu Ruoyun to you?”
Master?
Moyu froze for a moment; this man was looking for Master? Her heart
sunk: “Why are you looking for her?”
“It looks like I’ve found the right people,” The elder smiled. He spoke
with an aloof tone: “Since that’s so, I’ll trouble the two of you to be my
guests at the Dark Yin Palace!”
Bai Chuan bit his lip and leaned against Moyu’s body. A rare glint of
panic appeared in his wide, obstinate eyes. It was clear that even he had
detected this elder’s bad intentions.
www.asianovel.com
103
“Be a guest at the Dark Yin Palace?” Moyu sneered, “And what if I reject
your invitation?”
No matter what, Moyu wouldn’t let this old fellow use her to threaten
Master!
As for why she hadn’t denied her connection with Gu Ruoyun, that was
because the Dark Yin Palace had already come looking for them, so they
had definitely done some investigation. Even if she had denied it, they
wouldn’t have believed her..
“Haha, that’s not up to you to decide. Even if you don’t want to, you’ll
have to come with me today!”
The elder burst out into laughter; at the same time, an endless surge of
power suppressed Moyu. The martial king’s pressure was like a rock
pressing heavily onto her body, causing her fair face to turn terribly
pale.
“Little girl, a wise man submits to circumstances. As long as you come

with me, I won’t hurt you!”
Moyu’s face was completely pale, but her gaze was full of sympathy, as
if the elder in front of her was the one to be pitied.
“Trying to use me to threaten her is your biggest mistake! Xiao Chuan,

run quickly! Report to her! Tell her that the people from the Dark Yin
Palace have made their move!”
When they had started following Master, they had all secretly made a
vow to use whatever they had learned to repay her. Thus, how could
they allow anyone to use them to threaten their master?
Once she sacrifices herself, Master and her brothers and sisters of the
Devil Sect would definitely take revenge for her.
When the time comes, the pitiable one would be this old fellow here.
Thinking of that, Moyu smiled mockingly, her taunt clearly showing in

her gaze.
www.asianovel.com
104
“Stop right there!”
The elder’s face turned frosty. His body turned into a brisk wind as he
chased after Bai Chuan. With a bang, a punch landed on Bai Chuan’s
back and that little figure abruptly crashed into a stall at the corner of
the street.
The little shota’s face was pale and blood trickled from the corner of his
mouth. He stared fiercely at the elder with an unyielding gaze.
“You old fart! What are you trying to prove by attacking a little child?!”
Moyu flew into such a rage, even her body started trembling, “Is this
how your Dark Yin Palace does things? You won’t even let off such a
young child?”
Elder Liu sneered: “Are you trying to deceive me? This little fellow is
close to Gu Ruoyun. She even broke ties with the crown prince of Azure
Dragon Country for him a few days ago, so this kid must mean a lot to
her. I wasn’t too sure if Gu Ruoyun might come with just you alone; if I
take this kid away, I believe that she’ll definitely appear!”
“You…”
Moyu was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She only hoped
that someone would see this scene and return to report to Gu Ruoyun.
www.asianovel.com
105
Chapter 184

“Little girl, he’s in my hands now, so you had better not fight me. It’s
useless to fight back.”
Elder Liu’s muddy pupils narrowed slightly as he said heartlessly.
“You’re not allowed to touch him!”
Seeing Elder Liu walk towards Bai Chuan, Moyu’s eyes turned red and
she rushed forward recklessly.
Master had entrusted this little guy to her, proving the trust that Master
had for her. She couldn’t betray that trust, so she absolutely couldn’t let
that old fellow touch him, even if she had to put her life on the line!
Absolutely not!
“You’re thinking too highly of your abilities!”
Elder Liu harrumphed as an imposing aura welled up from his body. With
a bang, Moyu’s slender body was thrown away before she could even
reach him. A strong power battered her body, causing her to spit out
fresh blood.
The elder didn’t let her off and an overwhelming Tathagatha Palm

appeared in front of her, pressing her down viciously.
Bang!
www.asianovel.com
106
The pain of her bones being pulverised caused veins to pop out on
Moyu’s forehead. Her fists were clenched tightly. From the start to the
end, she didn’t let out a single sound or beg for mercy. She only stared
dead-on at Elder Liu, her eyes full of hatred and anger.
“You’re useless now.”
Elder Liu shook his head.
Actually, he had intended to use Luo Yin as bait at the start; who didn’t
know about the friendship between Luo Yin and Gu Ruoyun?
Unfortunately, Luo Yin wasn’t even in Azure Dragon Country these past
few months, so he could only go for his second choice.
Although Moyu also stayed by Gu Ruoyun’s side, Elder Liu wasn’t able to
dig out the true relationship between the two, so he didn’t think much of
it. However, this little shota was different. Gu Ruoyun had made things
difficult for the crown prince in a very public setting just for this kid. This
was something that many people knew of. If he used this kid, then he
could definitely threaten that woman.
However, Bai Chuan hadn’t spoken a single word from the start. He only
angrily glared at Elder Liu with his unyielding resolve. His little figure
looked extremely tenacious right now…
“Come with me!”
Elder Liu grabbed Bai Chuan and instantly flew far away. In midair, he
left only a single message.
“Go back and tell Gu Ruoyun… that I’ll be waiting for her at the Ling
household! Haha! If you come too late, then just be prepared to bury
this kid!”
……
On the streets, a woman covered all over in blood left an eye-piercing

red trail behind her as she crawled with difficulty. When Hundred Herb
Hall came into view, a spark of hope lit up in the woman’s dull eyes.
www.asianovel.com
107
Bai Chuan had been captured by the Dark Yin Palace, she had to notify
Master! Otherwise, who knew what the Dark Yin Palace might do!
Upon thinking of that, an unknown strength filled her and she moved, bit
by bit, towards Hundred Herb Hall while grabbing onto the ground before
her.
Seeing that she was about to reach Hundred Herb Hall, although she had
been close to fainting a few times, she still held onto her consciousness.
It was hard to imagine what kind of willpower she had to crawl all the
way here with all the bones in her body shattered.
“No… I can’t faint here… Bai Chuan could be in danger!” Moyu bit onto
her lip. Piercing pain flared up all over her body every time she tried to
crawl a step, like daggers stabbing into her body, “Three more steps.
Just three more steps and I’ll be there. As long as I reach Hundred Herb
Hall, they’ll be able to inform Master…”
Elder Liu had taken Bai Chuan away, but didn’t send anyone to inform
Gu Ruoyun, purely to torture the little girl who had dared to speak out
before him! Even though so many people had been watching just now,
none of them had helped Moyu…
The Dark Yin Palace was much too fearsome. Who would dare to make
an enemy out of them? Wasn’t that just digging their own graves?
www.asianovel.com
108
Chapter 185

“Miss Moyu, what happened to you? What in the world happened?”
Just as Moyu was about to lose all her strength and collapse, she heard
an anxious voice call her name. Upon recognising it, she finally relaxed
and let her body fall to the ground.
“Quick… go find… Master.”
After saying so, she closed her eyes. There was fresh blood staining
Moyu’s entire face. It was so heavy that she looked like she had been
pulled out from a pool of blood.
Shopkeeper Zhao turned pale with fright and rushed to call out orders.
“Men, help carry Miss Moyu into Hundred Herb Hall. I’m going to look for
Eldest Miss.”
As the shopkeeper of Hundred Herb Hall, how could he not know how
important Moyu was to Gu Ruoyun? As the Right Protector of the Devil
Sect, she had made countless contributions to the sect in the past three
years. It could be said that Xunfeng and Moyu were the elders of the
Devil Sect.
Furthermore, as the right-hand woman of Gu Ruoyun, Moyu had become

a martial king together with Xunfeng not too long ago! This was
something that others did not know of, but Shopkeeper Zhao did.
www.asianovel.com
109
What kind of person had wounded her to such an extent, and how strong
was he?
A chill passed through Shopkeeper Zhao’s heart. After hurriedly ordering

the servants to carry Moyu inside, he then rushed to report to Gu
Ruoyun. Luckily, Gu Ruoyun had intended to come to Hundred Herb Hall
at this time anyway, so before he reached the compound, he actually
bumped into her on the streets.
After finding out that Moyu had been severely injured, an imposing,
chilly aura began to rise from out of Gu Ruoyun’s body. She didn’t say
much more and followed Shopkeeper Zhao back to Hundred Herb Hall.
Upon seeing Moyu’s bloodstained appearance, Gu Ruoyun’s heart felt

like it was being squeezed by a fist. An intense rage built within her
chest and exploded outward, rapidly filling every nook and cranny of the
room with a dense cloud of killing intent.
“Who was vicious enough to beat Moyu up like this?” With great alarm in
her heart, Wei Yiyi meticulously examined Moyu’s injuries. “Shifu, it
looks as if she was squashed by an enormous mountain. All the bones in
her body have been shattered, and even her meridians have been
broken. I can heal her external injuries, but I can’t do anything about the
broken meridians.”
Even though Wei Yiyi was called the Ghost Doctor, she wasn’t
omnipotent. She could revive someone on the brink of death, but she
had no way to mend broken meridians. Even if she managed to heal
them, Moyu would have to start cultivating from the very beginning
again. This was something a person like Moyu would probably find hard
to accept.
Gu Ruoyun didn’t say anything. She brought out a pill from her lapels
and fed it to Moyu. Her gaze was serene, so serene that it was like the
calm before the storm…
Moyu coughed twice before she slowly opened her eyes. Upon seeing Gu
Ruoyun in front of her, she hurried to report: “Master, they took Xiao
www.asianovel.com
110
Chuan! They want to use Xiao Chuan to force Master out of hiding!”
“Who are they?” Gu Ruoyun asked as she lifted her gaze. Her tranquil
expression appeared unshakeable.
However, even though it didn’t show on her face, everyone knew that
Gu Ruoyun was currently very angry!
In the entire Devil Sect, who didn’t know that their Master was very
protective? Could she remain indifferent if someone tried to force her
out by using this kind of method? Definitely not!
“It was the Dark Yin Palace!”
Moyu gritted her teeth as she spoke.
“Dark Yin Palace?” Gu Ruoyun sneered. A great storm was brewing in

the depths of her eyes as she said, “Very well, Dark Yin Palace! Wei Yiyi,
go grab that bastard Zuo Shangchen from the guest house! Ask him
what happened to the promise he made me last night! I’m going to
catch that person from the Dark Yin Palace right now! Shopkeeper Zhao,
come along with me.”
www.asianovel.com
111
Chapter 186

Shopkeeper Zhao helplessly shook his head. Master was probably the
only one who dared to treat the fourth prince of Vermillion Bird Country
in this manner. What a pitiful fellow. Although it wasn’t his fault this
time, Zuo Shangchen was still related to Dark Yin Palace. Even he
couldn’t escape the consequences…
Within the guest house, a man dressed in pink was lying indolently
against a chair. Looking at the fine liquor and delicacies placed before
him, his lips unconsciously raised into his signature devilish smile.
“Wouldn’t it be great if Xiao Yun’er could join me in this feast of fine

delicacies and good liquor? What a pity; she probably won’t want
anything to do with me until this prince finds out who was trying to kill
her…”
Bang!
The door was abruptly kicked open. The man frowned and a wave of
killing intent burst out from his body. His beautiful almond-shaped eyes
narrowed slightly. However, when he saw the face of the seductive
woman standing at the door, his smile grew even more pronounced and
his glare faded.
The Ghost Doctor was here? Perhaps Gu Ruoyun was behind her?
Thinking of that, he hurriedly scanned behind Wei Yiyi, but he didn’t see
www.asianovel.com
112
that familiar figure.
“You don’t have to look anymore, Shifu didn’t come,” Wei Yiyi rolled her
eyes, “Rather, she told me to inform you that your Dark Yin Palace
provoked her first, so don’t blame her for not giving way on account of
your friendship!”
Zuo Shangchen frowned. “What happened?”
Xiao Yun’er had promised to give him time, and she would definitely
keep to her word. Had something else happened?
Wei Yiyi sneered: “One of your Dark Yin Palace’s elders hurt someone
close to my Shifu for the sake of forcing her out. He even took Bai Chuan
away. That friend of ours was heavily beaten by him. Her bones are all
shattered, her meridians broken, and she’s close to death.”
Clatter.
In a momentary lapse of attention, Zuo Shangchen dropped his fan. It

landed in a wine jar in front of him, completely forgotten with the
situation at hand. A trace of panic arose on his beautiful face, and
followed closely behind it was a look filled with immense tension and
anger.
“Which damned bastard is behind this! They are clearly trying to cause a
misunderstanding between this prince and Xiao Yun’er! If this prince
finds the culprit behind this, I’ll definitely burn him to ashes!”
Zuo Shangchen had been thoroughly frightened.
What should he do now that Xiao Yun’er was mad at him? It was all that
damned bastard’s fault! He wouldn’t be able to rest easy until that
damned bastard was dead!
“Ghost Doctor, bring me to Xiao Yun’er. I want to explain everything to

her. This matter really had nothing to do with me; I really don’t know
anything. Qingyi just returned after I sent her back to find the culprit
who accepted this mission. I didn’t think that something would happen
www.asianovel.com
113
so quickly! I’m innocent!”
Zuo Shangchen’s expression was full of aggrievement. He had always

done as he pleased. He never thought that he would end up losing all his
dignity in front of this pair of siblings…
“Tell that to Shifu yourself. Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Shifu is very
angry right now, so you had better prepare yourself,” said Wei Yiyi,
sneering.
Upon hearing this, Zuo Shangchen tensed even more. “Then take this
prince to see Xiao Yun’er, quickly! Otherwise, the consequences will be
too unbearable!”
……
Out in the busy street, Gu Ruoyun flew towards the Ling household at
the fastest speed possible. On the way there, the eye-catching fresh
blood on the ground pierced right into her heart…
Looking at the long trail of red, she couldn’t imagine how Moyu had
managed to return to report. What kind of willpower did she have to
crawl back bit by bit like this? In that time between her defeat and
finding Shopkeeper Zhao, how much pain had she borne?
Gu Ruoyun’s heart hurt! In her heart, her subordinates were not pawns
that could be easily sacrificed at any time, but comrades who had built
up the entire Devil Sect together with her! However, now her comrade
had been severely injured, and it had happened right under her nose!
And she hadn’t even been the one to discover it…
“I don’t care what kind of place you come from. Anyone who dares to lay
a single finger on her will suffer a hundred— no, a thousand times the
pain she suffered!”
Gu Ruoyun quickened her pace. A powerful killing intent rose from her
body as she charged toward the Ling household, stirring the air like the
onset of a hurricane…

Chapter 187

Currently, in the Ling household, Elder Liu was sitting on a chair with a
grave, indifferent expression. The current head of the Ling family, Ling
Yihui, stood to one side as he trembled, not even daring to look at this
mighty elder.
Three years ago, the previous Ling family head, Ling Yi, died at the
hands of Qianbei Ye. His younger brother, Ling Yihui, succeeded him. At
first, Ling Yihui had wanted to take revenge for his brother and nephew,
but the servant girl of Dark Yin Palace had come out to stop them. Due
to his fear of the Dark Yin Palace’s power, Ling Yihui had not dared to
make a move; he had even gone to the point of making sure that no one
in the family would breathe a word about revenge.
He hadn’t expected that the Imperial Concubine would actually find an

elder of Dark Yin Palace willing to execute their plan. However, even so,
Ling Yihui felt uneasy inside. He had a feeling that something bad was
going to happen…
“Great Elder, will Gu Ruoyun really come?”
Ling Yihui was apprehensive. To be honest, he was hoping she didn’t

come. That girl had changed so much after almost being beaten to
death by her own grandfather. No one had been able to find out what
she had been up to, especially in these past three years.
His brother and nephew were already dead. He didn’t want to bury the
www.asianovel.com
116
rest of the Ling family along with them for the sake of this grudge.
“Hmph!” Elder Liu harrumphed, “If she wants this kid back alive, then
she’ll definitely come.”
While speaking, his turbid eyes swept towards the tied up little shota.
The hidden danger in those eyes made a chill run down the little shota’s
back. However, that cute, fair baby face didn’t show a lick of fear. His
black pupils were calm and even obstinate as he stared at Elder Liu.
Bai Chuan didn’t know if Gu Ruoyun would come for him. After all, they
were facing the monstrous Dark Yin Palace this time. If his father were
here, he might have had a chance at survival, but… Even though Gu
Ruoyun was the Ghost Doctor’s Shifu, she was just a normal person in
the end. Most normal people would go to great lengths to avoid these
organisations.
Thus, she probably wouldn’t come…
Bai Chuan’s pupils dimmed. He nibbled his lip, feeling an unconscious

burst of disappointment in his heart.
Even his family had been close to abandoning a good-for-nothing like

him. He couldn’t expect more from a stranger, especially one who he
had only met by chance. How could she possibly place herself in danger
for someone like him…
No matter where he was, he was still a burden who could be abandoned

at any time!
“You don’t have to…”
Bai Chuan raised his head and stared straight at Elder Liu. He had
thought of telling them not to wait for Gu Ruoyun anymore, since they
had no strong ties between them. However, before he could finish
speaking, a clear, cool voice rang out from behind them. His tiny little
body stiffened in surprise.
“Since the Dark Yin Palace is looking for me, why not ask for me
www.asianovel.com
117
directly? You not only hurt my people, but you didn’t even let off a little
child! So this is how some people of Dark Yin Palace act!”
Dressed in green with a waterfall of black hair, the young woman’s

figure blew in like a gust of wind, carrying with it the tranquil scent of
medicinal herbs with her. The scent was one of the few that could
instantly ease the anxiety carried by a person’s heart…
However, rather than being put at ease, Bai Chuan’s heart was doing
somersaults in his chest. He hadn’t thought that this woman would come
for him in the end.
She had come to save him!
Gu Ruoyun was taking on such a big risk for someone she had only
known for a few days, whereas the old farts in his family had wanted to
abandon him just because he wasn’t able to have a breakthrough. Had it
not been for his daddy protecting him, he probably would have been
chased out of the Bai family by now…

“Shopkeeper Zhao, help me look after him.”
From the time she arrived till now, Gu Ruoyun didn’t take a single look
at Bai Chuan. Her back stood straight and tall; it was the delicate back of
a woman, but it looked like it could carry the weight of the world. Bai
Chuan’s heart, which he had previously thought might leap out of his
chest, settled down. It felt as if everything would be fine as long as she
was around.
“Understood.”
Shopkeeper Zhao nodded and pulled Bai Chuan off to the side. When he
looked at the figure in front of him, a deep sense of anxiety began to
gnaw at his heart.
Dressed in robes of green, her black hair fluttering in the wind, Gu

Ruoyun’s face was like sculpted stone. When her gaze landed on the
elder, that immovable image broke as she deliberately smiled at him.
“You’re from Dark Yin Palace?”
“That’s right!” Elder Liu sneered and said, “I’m an elder of Dark Yin
Palace. Someone has put a price on your life! Although our Dark Yin
Palace holds no grudge with you, since we’ve accepted our employer’s
mission, you have to die!”
www.asianovel.com
119
On the mainland, most martial kings wouldn’t touch ordinary people,

especially if they were from a sect or a faction, as such organizations
were under the Three Great Authorities’ watch. However, the Dark Yin
Palace was an exception. As long as someone gave them enough
money, they would accept the mission! Furthermore, they weren’t within
the jurisdiction of the Three Great Authorities.
Thus, the Dark Yin Palace didn’t have to act in the shadows like the
Weapon Refining Sect. If they wanted to kill someone, they would do it
in broad daylight! They even send a Declaration of Death beforehand to
let their target prepare.
Gu Ruoyun sneered: “You don’t have any objections if I take Bai Chuan
away, do you?”
“He’s just a tool. Since he has fulfilled his purpose, he’s useless now,
but…” Elder Liu’s eyes narrowed slightly, “You, on the other hand,
cannot go with him! If you leave, I can’t fulfill my mission!”
This time, Imperial Concubine Ling had offered a good reward for this
commission. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered to personally come
and complete this mission.
“Rest assured, I have no intention of leaving!” Gu Ruoyun’s smile grew

even more pronounced. However, those clear eyes of hers were full of
killing intent as she said, “That’s because I’m not done clearing our
debts!”
Gu Ruoyun stepped forward. The second her foot touched the ground, a
powerful killing intent burst out from her small form. In contrast to the
volcanic force of her rage, Gu Ruoyun’s face was like a layer of frost.
“Furthermore, you don’t have to explain anything. I know that this was
all done by Imperial Concubine Ling, or you wouldn’t have been at the
Ling household. In the entire Ling family, she’s the only one with enough
power to hire an assassin from Dark Yin Palace… However, you made
one fatal mistake: you didn’t come straight at me! Instead, you went
after my people! Thus, you have to die here! I’ll send both you and
www.asianovel.com
120
Imperial Concubine Ling to an early grave!”
Bai Chuan’s eyes were caught by Gu Ruoyun’s murderous expression.

His breath caught; his heart was beating so hard it felt like it was
knocking against his rib cage.
For some reason, right then and there, he had a feeling that, just maybe,
he wouldn’t regret following her…
It was only at this moment that Bai Chuan finally, fully pledged his
allegiance to Gu Ruoyun.
“Hmph, what a wild boast!”
Bang!
Elder Liu’s expression turned cold. He slammed the table, stood up, and
with a single step, leapt towards Gu Ruoyun. The force of his movements
kicked up a storm of wild winds inside the courtyard. In contrast to that
show of strength, Gu Ruoyun’s clothes merely fluttered; before her, wind
was simply wind.
Since the beginning, her expression hadn’t changed at all: Gu Ruoyun,

calm as water, was still smiling.
That smile of hers seemed to be mocking Elder Liu for overestimating his
capabilities…
Boom!
Just as Elder Liu was about to kill Gu Ruoyun in rage, a white light
abruptly shot out from in front of her. An enraged roar rang out,
shocking Elder Liu into retreating a few steps.
“Yunyao, kill him!”
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes were cold as she commanded Elder Liu’s execution.
“Yes, Master.”
The White Tiger replied, turning to her prey at an unhurried pace. With a
www.asianovel.com
121
smile full of ridicule, she began to walk towards Elder Liu, one elegant
step at a time…
www.asianovel.com
122
Chapter 189

A layer of white mist gathered on the ground of the courtyard. In that

haze, the White Tiger was like a divine beast who had come treading on
clouds; her charisma was as boundless as the sky above, each curve of
her body drawing the mortal gaze and enticing worship.
“A spiritual beast? A martial king spiritual beast? Her power seems to be

comparable to mine… That is to say, she’s a mid stage martial king!”
Although there was just one stage between a mid stage martial king and
an early stage martial king, that single stage made a huge difference.
This was why Elder Liu hadn’t considered Elder Yu’s prowess an issue. In
his eyes, Elder Yu was just some rubbish that he could easily fight off.
Of course, there were exceptions when spiritual weapons were brought

into play.
Even though Moyu was also a newly made martial king, if she had a
spiritual weapon, she wouldn’t have necessarily been beaten by Elder
Liu. However, she hadn’t brought a spiritual weapon with her at that
time, so she didn’t have the power to fight back in front of Elder Liu…
“A martial… martial king spiritual beast?”
Ling Yihui was absolutely terrified. He almost collapsed to the floor. He

had already told her not to mention revenge anymore, that their brother
was already dead. Wasn’t it good to live a peaceful life? Had the Imperial
www.asianovel.com
123
Concubine gone crazy? Would she only be happy if she dragged the
entire Ling family down to their graves with her?
At that moment, the frightened Ling Yihui scolded the Imperial

Concubine Ling a hundred times over in his heart. He wiped away the
cold sweat on his forehead before gritting his teeth and saying, “Go
report to the Imperial Concubine that Elder Liu has failed! Tell her not to
drag our Ling family down! I don’t want the entire Ling family line to be
ruined at the hands of a woman!”
Ling Yi had tried to defeat Gu Ruoyun, but he had been rendered a

cripple at the hands of a Qi level 6 Gu Ruoyun. His brother had tried to
take revenge for his grandson, but he had been killed by the silver-
haired man by Gu Ruoyun’s side… Ling Yu was too stupid and colluded
with outsiders to try to assassinate Gu Ruoyun, and look what had
happened to her. Hadn’t they all ended up dying without even a grave
marker to remember them by?
How was it that the Imperial Concubine still hadn’t understood that Gu
Ruoyun was untouchable after all that had happened? That woman had
limitless potential and a countless number of strong backers by her side;
she wasn’t someone they could provoke.
Did the Imperial Concubine want to walk down the road to ruin again?
Even if she was courting her own death, she shouldn’t drag them down
with her! He only wanted to live the rest of his life peacefully! He didn’t
want to participate in any matters of revenge!
Back then, Ling Yihui hadn’t become the family head because he had
been too cowardly! However, he was the only one here who could see
through everything that had happened. If he had been the family head
from the start, the Ling family wouldn’t have ended up in such a state…
“Gu Ruoyun, I finally understand why so many people have fallen by

your hands. Even the Weapon Refining Sect couldn’t do anything to
you!” Elder Liu narrowed his eyes and sneered, “You don’t have any
abilities of your own, but you have many strong people by your side.
www.asianovel.com
124
You’ve even managed to tame a martial king spiritual beast! Perhaps I

was too careless for this mission. However, the men from our Dark Yin
Palace would rather die standing than kneel like dogs! Since I’ve
accepted this mission, I have to carry it out to the end! Since my
subordinates weren’t able to kill you, then it’s up to me to do so. If I
happen to die, the next one to come after you might even be our
Master! Despite his young age, our Master is extremely strong; he’s not
someone you can stand up to! So if you die at his hands, that’ll be your
fortune.”
Elder Liu’s pride was obvious throughout his entire monologue. He didn’t
show any hint of cowardliness in front of the White Tiger Yunyao.
The spirit of the Dark Yin Palace would always live on! When one died,
the next would follow until the mission was complete. This was why the
Dark Yin Palace occupied such a high position on the mainland, infamous
to the point that everyone knew their name!

Chapter 190

Elder Liu believed from the start to the end, that the young woman
before him would definitely feel fear at the thought of such a monstrous
creature coming after her without pause!
Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed. Gu Ruoyun’s

expression didn’t change at all. She remained indifferent, her eyes calm,
as if what he was narrating had nothing to do with her…
Even Elder Liu couldn’t help but admit that he would definitely want to
take Gu Ruoyun in as a disciple if he hadn’t accepted the mission first.
This girl had a steady mind. Even if she couldn’t match up to Master’s
accomplishments, she couldn’t be too far off.
However, there was no abandoning any mission that the Dark Yin Palace
accepts.
Thinking of that, traces of pity and regret showed on his elderly face…
“Old fellow,” Yunyao smiled, “What are you talking so much rubbish for?
No matter how much you jabber away; I, Yunyao, will kill you today!”
“Haha!” Elder Liu laughed crazily, “You’re a great king of the spiritual
beasts, and you can even speak. Why are you helping an ordinary
human? The forest is where you should stay!”
Speaking honestly, Elder Liu was extremely jealous of Gu Ruoyun. How
www.asianovel.com
126
had a martial general like this girl managed to make a martial king
spiritual beast submit? He wasn’t willing to accept this! He had no
chance of victory if he were to fight with this spiritual beast!
It wasn’t until this moment that Ling Yihui suddenly realised that this
white tiger had actually spoken.
Heavens! Could this fellow get any scarier! If his heart wasn’t strong
enough, he probably would’ve been frightened to death by these
people!
“Old fart, stop dragging out the time! Why don’t we start our battle?”
Yunyao didn’t look at the other people in the courtyard. She snorted
coldly, before her enormous body streaked across the sky and her
ferocious claws reached out towards Elder Liu…
Elder Liu’s pupils dilated; with a bang, he raised the sword in his hands
and blocked the tiger’s claws. However, it was as if two sharp weapons
had collided, sparks flew in all directions with a fizzle.
The battle between two martial kings was extremely exciting. However,
at this moment, the Ling family didn’t have the inclination to admire it.
That was because they knew that there was still an Elder Yu residing in
Hundred Herb Hall. He might not be able to defeat Elder Liu, but if he
decided to join the battle at this moment, then Elder Liu wouldn’t have
any chance at victory!
Actually, what they didn’t know was that the Ghost Doctor had also
recently broken through to martial king. Adding Xunfeng and Baobao on
to that, there were now more than just one or two martial kings by Gu
Ruoyun’s side.
Furthermore, she still had her last trump card: Zixie!
Gu Ruoyun still hadn’t seen that man’s true power, even up till now.
However, judging from Yunyao’s attitude in front of Zixie, it could be
seen just how powerful he must be, whether it was at his peak or now!
www.asianovel.com
127
He was so strong that it defied sense!
Gu Ruoyun’s gaze was focused on the battle before her. A cold glint
flashed across her eyes as she said impatiently, “Yunyao, is that all
you’ve got? You’re taking so long just to handle a simple mid stage
martial king?”
Yunyao almost somersaulted right into the ground. She really wanted to
cry. My master, did you think that I was the same Divine Beast White
Tiger as before? Ever since I was beaten up by that bastard, I haven’t
been able to recover. Right now, I’m just a mid stage martial king.
No matter what, she couldn’t let her master look down on her.
Otherwise, if her master didn’t want her anymore, she might get burned
to ashes by that Zixie…
Thinking of that, Yunyao charged towards Elder Liu again…
……
At this moment, within the imperial palace, when Imperial Concubine

Ling heard the message from the Ling family, her body went limp and
she collapsed on the floor, “Gu Ruoyun, is it really impossible for me to
kill you? No, I can’t believe it! No matter what, you have to die!”
She closed her eyes and turned to the Ling family servant kneeling
before her: “Go back.”
“Yes, Imperial Concubine.”
Very quickly, the Ling family servant was sent out by the palace maids
and Imperial Concubine Ling was left alone in her sleeping chamber.
After a long time, she opened her eyes and said: “Great Azure Dragon, I
let you hide here to recover from your wounds back then, and you
promised that you would do one thing for me. Right now, I want you to
help me kill Gu Ruoyun, please?”
She hadn’t been willing to use this trump card at first, but now she was
forced to bring it out. This was all Gu Ruoyun’s fault; she definitely
www.asianovel.com
128
wouldn’t forgive her!
www.asianovel.com
129
Chapter 191

Chapter 191: The Azure Dragon, Tianqiong (1)
Elder Liu stepped backwards in retreat, drawing out a long shadow on

the ground. He breathed heavily as he looked at the white tiger walking
towards him with a heavy gaze.
Although Yunyao’s strength wasn’t like before, she was still one of the
Divine Beasts who had guarded the four directions in the past. When it
came to battle experience, she had enough of it to drown Elder Liu.
Thus, Elder Liu had fallen to the losing side…
“Hehe,” He started smiling with derision and disdain, “Gu Ruoyun, you
can’t even begin to imagine how many martial kings we have in our
Dark Yin Palace! Even if I can’t kill you today, you’ll suffer the pursuit of
those martial kings from now on! Do you really think that you could
escape this disaster?”
Actually, Elder Liu was purposely saying this to scare Gu Ruoyun so that
he could kill her the moment the white tiger stopped paying attention
and let down her defenses! Unfortunately, Gu Ruoyun’s gaze was still as
serene as a lake. She looked at Elder Liu with an indifferent gaze, as if
his words didn’t even matter.
Just as Elder Liu was about to think of some other method, the woman’s
apathetic voice slowly resounded in the quiet courtyard.
“Yunyao, it’s getting late, we should be going back.”
www.asianovel.com
130
The meaning in her words was that, it was time for this old fellow to die!
When Elder Liu heard that, he thought Gu Ruoyun had been scared off
by his threat and wanted to escape. He was about to harrumph and
mock her again, but at that moment, the white tiger stretched out her
neck and charged over when Elder Liu’s defenses were down…
Bang!
Yunyao raised her tiger claws and smacked the old fellow away. Her
enormous body sat heavily on Elder Liu’s body, almost making him spit
out blood.
His face was ashen as he shouted angrily: “You’re cheating! You didn’t
say anything before attacking! That’s unfair!”
If he hadn’t let down his defenses, how could this white tiger have
gotten that attack in?
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun rolled her eyes. “Didn’t I tell Yunyao that it was
getting late? It’s time to go home.”
Abruptly, Elder Liu spat out a mouthful of blood. His muddy eyes no
longer held his earlier haughtiness, but were now filled with rage. He
stared at Gu Ruoyun with hatred.
He was going to be angered to death by this damned girl!
If anyone heard that, they would have thought that she was calling back
her spiritual beast. Who would have expected that spiritual beast would
act without a word! Was she even giving him a fair chance to fight back?
“Unfair?” Yunyao sneered and raised her arm, “When you took away
someone by Master’s side, did you ever think about fairness? When you
faced someone whose power was below yours, and attacked someone
who wasn’t prepared, did you ever think about fairness? In this world,
it’s the law of the jungle! The winners are the kings! As long as you can
clinch victory, all’s fair in war!”
Elder Liu was so angry that his body was trembling. It was like an
www.asianovel.com
131
enormous mountain was pressing on him, making it so that he couldn’t

breathe or even move a muscle…
“Gu Ruoyun, you’re really not afraid of my Dark Yin Palace?” He gritted
his teeth and spat out word by word.
Gu Ruoyun cast a glance at him before saying indifferently: “Yunyao, let

go of him!”
“Yes, Master.”
Yunyao lifted up her foreleg, a sneer still on her lips. What was so
impressive about that Dark Yin Palace? The two people by Master’s side
wouldn’t even bat an eye if a hundred martial kings came at them.
Did this fellow really think that his Dark Yin Palace could save him?
Thinking of that, Yunyao’s sharp claws slashed towards Elder Liu’s neck,
but at this moment, an enormous power descended from midair,
accompanied by the howl of a dragon, shaking up the entire sky.
Yunyao’s claws stopped a meter away from Elder Liu’s neck as she
looked up towards the dark clouds suddenly encompassing the sky. In
that instant, a mix of emotions flashed across her face: joy, surprise,
excitement and nostalgia…
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 192

“Who here is called Gu Ruoyun?”
Within the layers of clouds, a deep, hoarse voice rang out, carrying a
powerful force that no one could defend against.
Amongst those present, no one knew what had happened, but all of
them held fear in their eyes. Even Elder Liu had stiffened in shock. His
eyes scanned the layers of dark clouds in the sky warily.
“May I ask what sire is here for?” Elder Liu asked with a darkened gaze.
“I’m here to kill Gu Ruoyun. As for those who have no business here,
scram!”
That voice was filled with killing intent, striking like a thunderbolt out of
the blue into the hearts of everyone present. Following that, a dragon’s
roar resounded, making the entire sky shake.
Since the start, the events in the courtyard had already drawn the gaze
of others. Countless onlookers had gathered outside the Ling family
home at some point, and they all looked towards the person hiding in
the clouds with shock.
No, perhaps it wasn’t even a person…
“Gu Ruoyun is done for this time. She actually provoked someone as
www.asianovel.com
133
strong as that.”
“This expert seems really strong, no one’s going to be able to save her
now.”
The crowd wasn’t just listening to the threats of the speaker, but the
howl from those clouds had clearly come from a huge dragon. Dragons
naturally stood at the top of all living beings and had the power to
unleash armageddon on the world. Even if Gu Ruoyun had many experts
at her side, they definitely wouldn’t be a match for this huge dragon.
Elder Liu had thought that his life had come to an end. After hearing the
Azure Dragon’s words, joy sprang up in his heart. He turned to the
clouds in the sky and said: “Sire, that woman standing not too far away
from me is Gu Ruoyun. She’s the one you have to kill; please, kill her
right now.”
“Thank you.”
The Azure Dragon’s deep voice carried through the clouds. Following
that, as everyone was watching the sky, a blue light shot down from the
heavens and charged towards Gu Ruoyun…
“Tianqiong, if you dare to hurt her, I’ll never forgive you!”
Yunyao had been immersed in the pleasant surprise of reuniting with an

old friend and hadn’t been paying attention to what was happening in
the surroundings. However, upon recovering her senses, she saw that
the Azure Dragon had shot an attack at Gu Ruoyun and immediately
turned anxious. If anything happened to Master, those two men would
never let the Azure Dragon live!
That stupid guy!
She had been standing here for so long, but he still hadn’t seen her!
“Yun… Yunyao… is that you?”
After a long while, a voice trembling with endless disbelief rang out from
the clouds…
www.asianovel.com
134
“Damn it! It’s too late!”
Seeing that blue light falling towards Gu Ruoyun, Yunyao was extremely
worried. She abruptly roared and turned into a bright light, pouncing
towards Gu Ruoyun.
However, that blue light was faster than Yunyao; just when she was
about to reach Gu Ruoyun, it was clear that it was too late…
In that moment, despair leaked into her eyes.
The Azure Dragon was too powerful. Under that might, the martial
general ranked Gu Ruoyun was completely defenseless, she couldn’t
even move… Thus, Elder Liu smiled in relief.
His mission had finally been completed.
However, in the second between life and death, arms wrapped tightly
around Gu Ruoyun and pulled her into an embrace.
Dressed in a red robe, the silver-haired man’s perfect face was

expressionless. His blood-red lips were tilted at a murderous angle, and
his crimson pupils seemed to reflect the many lives he had taken. His
whole person exuded a bewitching aura.
www.asianovel.com
135
Chapter 193

This was the second time she had seen Qianbei Ye like this.
The first time was when she had been coerced by Ling Yi. The second
time was right now, as if this man would appear whenever she was in
danger. Gu Ruoyun couldn’t help but suspect whether he was always
following her around!
However, for some reason, her heart would unconsciously feel safe
around him.
As if there was nothing that couldn’t be resolved if he was around…
Bang!
The blue light struck Qianbei Ye fiercely, then disappeared without a

trace, shocking Elder Liu to the point that he couldn’t speak. He simply
stared foolishly like an idiot.
How had such a strong attack ended up like a tiny needle before this
man? It seemed like it hadn’t even tickled, he had blocked it just like
that…
Furthermore, this man didn’t have any spiritual qi in his body, he

couldn’t feel any qi fluctuations coming from him! Someone who could
make him feel this way was either a good-for-nothing or so strong that
he could conceal his power within his body…
www.asianovel.com
136
Going by what had just occurred, it was clearly the latter!
This man was a martial emperor at the very least!
Yunyao relaxed, but she quickly got tense again. She turned to the
clouds and said: “Tianqiong, what are you still hiding in there for? Come
out right now!”
She hoped that Master wouldn’t hold the Azure Dragon’s mistake
against him for her sake…
“Yunyao, is that really you?”
Joyful surprise was clear in his voice as he spoke. Following that,

everyone watched as an enormous azure dragon burst out from behind
the clouds. It was only when he appeared that they knew what the
words ‘a domineering ruler above all’ were meant to describe!
Very quickly, the Azure Dragon’s body transformed while in the sky, and
a tall body appeared shortly after in midair.
The dark clouds dissipated, revealing the clear blue sky.
A man dressed in azure clothing appeared before them, looking

elegantly handsome with features pleasing to the eye, although he
wasn’t as stunning as Qianbei Ye or Zixie. He was like bamboo, standing
straight and proud above the world.
However, upon seeing the azure-dressed man’s eyes, Yunyao froze in

shock: “Tianqiong… Your… Your eyes…”
The man startled for a moment before covering his dim, colourless
pupils with a bitter smile. “My eyes were blinded back then, and I’ve
been hiding here to recover all these years. Actually, with my eyes gone,
I know that my strength will never reach its peak again, no matter how
much I cultivate…”
Tianqiong was different from the other Divine Beasts. His eyes were his
source of power. If his eyes were blinded, then he would never be able
to reach his peak again. Back then, the person who had captured him
www.asianovel.com
137
had used cruel measures to force him to become his mount. He had
refused to obey even till death, so in extreme rage, that person had
blinded him.
Although it seemed like he had great power just now, he actually didn’t
have much strength. However, even that amount was more than enough
to deal with one Gu Ruoyun.
Unfortunately, that move had used up all the power he had recovered
over the years, and he was now a good-for-nothing! The Four Divine
Beasts had never liked to owe favours to humans, so he had listened to
Imperial Concubine’s request and used up all his energy…
Yunyao walked forward a few steps and transformed into an elegant

woman in front of the stunned eyes of the crowd. She raised her hands
and caressed the face she had been pining for night and day. She didn’t
seem to realise that tears were raining down her cheeks.
“Tianqiong, rest assured. I’ll cure your eyes, I definitely will!”
From his position at the peak, he had fallen to such a state; how could
Yunyao’s heart not ache for him?

Chapter 194

Gu Ruoyun had been watching the two of them expressionlessly since

the start of the astonishing turn of events. Many thoughts turned around
in her head. No matter how she looked at it, the relationship between
these two didn’t seem as simple as comrades… they seemed more like a
couple.
If she could take in the Azure Dragon, then she would be able to trample
roughshod over the four countries from now on!
As for his blinded eyes, perhaps Zixie had some way to help him recover
them…
While the two beasts were in the midst of their joyful and tearful
reunion, a sudden burst of killing intent coming from behind Yunyao
made her body stiffen.
“Yunyao, watch out!” Tianqiong hurriedly pulled Yunyao behind him, his
face full of caution. No matter what, he couldn’t let anyone hurt her
again.
“Tianqiong,” Yunyao shook her head and said, “I’m fine, but you might
be in trouble! When we went our separate ways back then, I was also
heavily injured. Luckily, I met Master, and now I have the possibility of
fully recovering from my injuries.”
www.asianovel.com
139
“Master?” Tianqiong stared blankly for a moment, “Yunyao, you’re the

one who had the most pride amongst the four of us, why would you
willing serve a human? Did they use some method to force you? Tell me,
I won’t let anyone hurt you!”
“Tianqiong, you’re mistaken. Master treats me very well. She’s helping

me recover from my injuries, and she won’t force me to do anything I’m
not willing to do. Furthermore, you just tried to kill my master…”
While speaking, Yunyao carefully glanced at the silver-haired man next

to Gu Ruoyun. Her heart trembled.
She could feel the killing intent exuding off of that guy. If Tianqiong tried
to do anything else, he would probably be turned into ashes on the spot
by the hand of that man…
“Xiao Yun’er, shall we eat dragon meat tonight?”
Qianbei Ye’s eyes landed on Tianqiong, and he added on in a ruthless

tone, “If you eat this dragon, your strength will grow by leaps and
bounds.”
Everyone knew that dragon meat was a top-grade supplement!

However, not many people on this mainland dared to hunt dragons!
Although there were extremely few dragons around, every one of them
had the power to decimate the earth!
“Master!”
Thump!
Yunyao instantly knelt in front of Gu Ruoyun, without a trace of her

original elegance and pride.
“Tianqiong doesn’t recognise Master, so someone must have bewitched

him into killing Master. Could Master let him off on behalf of how I saved
Master just now? I will be endlessly grateful, and will vow loyalty and
devotion to Master for the rest of my life.”
Honestly speaking, Gu Ruoyun hadn’t intended on slaughtering this
www.asianovel.com
140
dragon at all. A powerful, living dragon was of more use to her than
some nourishing dragon meat. Furthermore, this was the legendary
Azure Dragon Tianqiong they were talking about!
However, she wasn’t going to let him off that easily.
If Qianbei Ye hadn’t reached her in time, she would have been lying
dead on the ground!
“Yunyao, you’re my contract beast, so helping me is one of your

responsibilities. However, you tried to use this point to talk terms with
me.”
The young woman’s tone was as calm as the wind, but it made Yunyao’s
heart twist fiercely. She bit her lower lip gently and didn’t speak; only
her eyes begged Gu Ruoyun for mercy.
“Yunyao, what are you doing?” Tianqiong was astonished, “You don’t
have to beg this human for my sake! Humans are too cunning. If they
want to kill me, then let them! I, Tianqiong, will never bend my knee!”
“You shut up!”
In her anxiety, Yunyao roared angrily at him, frightening Tianqiong so

much that he hurriedly closed his mouth. His handsome face was full of
aggrievement.
His heart had simply ached for Yunyao upon hearing her beg this woman
for mercy for him, yet she had acted so fiercely towards him. He would
rather die than bend and scrape for favour like Yunyao was doing. How
could someone as proud as her act so humbly towards a human…
Furthermore, it was all for his sake!
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 195

“Master, if… if I make the Azure Dragon sign a contract with you, would
you be willing to forgive him? The Azure Dragon has been blinded, so he
doesn’t have any power right now, but I believe he’ll recover someday.
As the leader of the Four Divine Beasts, he’ll definitely be a strong
helper for you. Oh, no, I mean, besides Master Zixie and Master Qianbei,
of course.”
Upon feeling Qianbei Ye’s bloodthirsty gaze and Zixie’s overwhelming

pressure transmitted via the contract, Yunyao hurried to amend her
words. How could she have possibly forgotten about those two great
gods…
Gu Ruoyun remained cool and collected on the outside, but she was
secretly delighted by this development. This was exactly what she had
been aiming for. Of course, making the Azure Dragon her contractual
spirit beast sounded much better as a suggestion when it came from
Yunyao instead of her.
As expected, the Azure Dragon seemed to be too scared to raise his

objections. His expression was extremely conflicted, and his
unwillingness was written all over his face.
“Alright!”
While Yunyao’s heart was hanging by a thread, Gu Ruoyun finally spoke
www.asianovel.com
142
up: “On your behalf, I’ll give him another chance.”
As if she had only agreed to this because of Yunyao, her expression

looked even more unwilling than the Azure Dragon’s.
The corners of Shopkeeper Zhao’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. After
a few years of service at Gu Ruoyun’s side, he had already grasped the
essence of her personality. This fellow had clearly taken a shine to the
Azure Dragon from the very start, but no one could have possibly
guessed it if they were looking at her now. Gu Ruoyun was currently
showing such a resigned expression; it was like she was taking a loss by
keeping the Azure Dragon, but out of the goodness of her heart… if it
was for Yunyao, then…
Tianqiong felt extremely put out. He was a formidable and renowned

Divine Beast, the Azure Dragon! However, right now, this little human
was clearly disdaining him right in front of his face! Was there any
Divine Beast who had ever suffered such tragic indignity before?
“Xiao Yun’er, aren’t I enough?” Qianbei Ye said, aggrieved, “I can do

anything you want me to! And I can protect you far better than anyone
else can. Why do you need to take in this dragon? I think it’s better if
you eat him and raise your own strength instead.”
He couldn’t tolerate letting someone who had tried to kill Gu Ruoyun

stay by her side after the fact. If he hadn’t been secretly following her,
then this young woman would have left him forever. Thinking of that
possibility, Qianbei Ye felt a throb of pain as anxiety gripped his heart.
How could Gu Ruoyun not know what Qianbei Ye was thinking? Warmth
suffused within her chest as she patted Qianbei Ye’s shoulder. “Xiao Ye,
Yunyao is my contract beast. I can’t ignore her feelings. Furthermore,
this wasn’t the Azure Dragon’s fault. I’m only interested in the person
behind this.”
She smiled gently and turned to look at the dazed Elder Liu. “Before
that, we have some unfinished business.”
www.asianovel.com
143
Elder Liu’s senses abruptly came back to life, and he quivered as he

watched that smiling woman. Unbidden, a wave of fear swelled within
his heart, but he quashed it viciously. Gritting his teeth, he bit out: “Gu
Ruoyun, if you kill me, then you have to be prepared for an endless
wave of experts coming to kill you! From what I can see, this Azure
Dragon is all bark and no bite! Even his bark is powerless right now! At
first, I thought that the silver-haired man beside you was very strong,
but now that I’ve seen the Azure Dragon’s true strength, I obviously
made a mistake in reading his strength. He’s not a martial emperor at
all; he’s at the same level as me at the most. As for why I can’t sense his
power, perhaps he carries some sort of treasure on him that can mask it.
So, how long do you think you can fend off martial king after martial
king?”
Yunyao was enraged. All of this had happened because of this old man!
If it hadn’t been for him and the mastermind behind him, Tianqiong
wouldn’t have almost killed Master by mistake.
www.asianovel.com
144
Chapter 196
If it hadn’t been for Master’s pity for her, Qianbei Ye would have
definitely killed Tianqiong!
They were the main culprits!
“Old fellow, I don’t care if you’re an elder of Dark Yin Palace, and I don’t
care who the mastermind behind you is. Today, you must die! If you
manage to leave here with your life, then even the gods will be
angered!”
Boom!
Strong killing intent surged towards Elder Liu. The woman became a blur
of yellow, graceful and elegant as her face filled with her desire for
murder. Just as she was about to reach Elder Liu, his sharp eyes caught
a figure in pink rushing in from outside the courtyard. Full of great
surprise and joy, he shouted, “My Lord, save me!”
His Lord was here! They were done for! Hahaha!
Elder Liu’s face was a frightening sight. The lines of his face were all
etched with malevolence, contorting into a demon hungry for slaughter.
In his eyes, the people before him were practically dead men walking…
The man Elder Liu had shouted for remained sitting on his softwood
chair. His almond-shaped eyes were two narrow slits; his smile was
perpetual and light. And even though they had practically sprinted all
www.asianovel.com
145
the way here, the girls carrying his sedan showed no signs of exertion:
their faces were calm and expressionless.
Upon seeing the young woman sheltered in Qianbei Ye’s arms, the
man’s eyes flickered. Then his gaze landed on Elder Liu’s delighted face.
“My Lord, please save me!” Elder Liu shouted again at the man. This
incomparably beautiful man was his last hope. As long as his Lord was
here, no one was going to be able to kill him.
Although Elder Liu was a trained assassin, he was still afraid of death!
Furthermore, he held a high position of authority and hadn’t enjoyed the
fruits of his labour yet. How could he be willing to perish in the hands of
a little girl?
However, very quickly, Zuo Shangchen retracted his gaze and looked
instead towards Gu Ruoyun, eyes filling with grief.
“Xiao Yun’er, this matter has nothing to do with me! I’ve already sent
Qingyi to investigate the culprits who accepted this mission; I just hadn’t
thought he would act so quickly. This fellow is one of the men under my
Dark Yin Palace, so I’ll definitely fulfill my promise to you and give you
an answer for your grievances.”
Gu Ruoyun sneered and remained silent. If Dark Yin Palace had simply
tried to assassinate her, perhaps she wouldn’t be this angry right now.
However, Dark Yin Palace had seriously injured her right-hand woman!
This was something she wasn’t able to tolerate.
“Zuo Shangchen, I told you earlier that Dark Yin Palace was trying to kill
me, and I gave you time to find the culprits! I also told you that they had
better not touch the people by my side, or else I would make them pay
an appropriate price, even if it takes the rest of my life!”
The determination in the young woman’s voice resounded with Zuo

Shangchen, causing his heart to tremble a little. Without his conscious
bidding, his almond-shaped eyes were affixed on that delicate face of
hers. Although her strength hadn’t reached a point where she could be
www.asianovel.com
146
called an expert, her heart was already tough and tenacious, matching
the bearing of Gu Tian and his wife back then…
Elder Liu stiffened in shock as he watched the interaction between the

two. His astonishment began to give way to a chilly feeling that was
steadily engulfing his heart, making him so cold that he shivered.
His Lord was acquainted with Gu Ruoyun? Furthermore, they didn’t

seem like normal acquaintances from the way they were talking…
He had actually accepted a mission to assassinate his Lord’s friend! With

his Lord’s temper, he probably wasn’t going to escape calamity this
time.
Elder Liu’s old face was as pale as ash when his thoughts finally
connected. His lips started to tremble as the utmost level of despair
began to creep onto his face.
When Zuo Shangchen glanced at Elder Liu, his expression turned

absolutely serious: “Elder Liu, our Dark Yin Palace has a rule that must
be followed before accepting any mission: we have to investigate the
target’s background thoroughly. This time, you’ve touched someone you
shouldn’t have. I can’t protect you anymore. Since you were the one to
turn your blade against the wrong person, give your lifeblood to absolve
your sins.”
www.asianovel.com
147
Chapter 197

Elder Liu’s body trembled as his eyes slid shut. After a long moment, he
opened them and began to speak with a dull gaze: “I understand, My
Lord. The lifetime of service I have given, the great pains I have taken to
advance the Dark Yin Palace… I have served the Dark Yin Palace’s
interests from beginning to end. Regardless of my past contributions, my
Lord has ordered me to absolve my sins with my own lifeblood.”
“My Lord has already given me due dignity for one of my station. I have
been loyal, and still I must leave the world like this… but because of my
loyalty, I will obey.”
After saying so, Elder Liu drew his sword and placed it against his own
neck. He shut his eyes once again, but just as the blade was about to
fall, a young woman’s clear voice abruptly rang out.
“Yunyao, stop him!”
Whoosh!
A white flash whizzed by and the sword in his hands fell to the ground
with a clatter. Just as he raised his head in astonishment, he saw an
indifferent face appear before him.
“I don’t know the concept of repaying a grudge with kindness and

forgiveness, or even taking an eye for an eye. I only know that those
www.asianovel.com
148
who incur my grudge must suffer my pain ten times over! Didn’t you
cripple Moyu? You even made her suffer such pain! If I let you die this
easily, how will I be able to face Moyu? How will I be able to face Bai
Chuan, whom you took away to threaten me?”
Gu Ruoyun sneered and coldly ordered, “Yunyao, capture him and hand
him over to Moyu. She’ll be the one to take care of him. No matter what
punishment she chooses, whether it’s death by a thousand cuts or using
horses to pull his limbs apart, it will be just what he deserves!”
After she finished speaking, she turned an indifferent gaze onto Zuo
Shangchen. “Zuo Shangchen, I’ve always treated you as a friend. Even
when I found out that the Dark Yin Palace was out to kill me, I trusted
you because you’re my brother’s friend. However… that person from
Dark Yin Palace hurt the people close to me. I wouldn’t be able to face
myself if I let him die so easily. If Dark Yin Palace wants to take their
anger out on anyone, then let it be me! Don’t harm the innocent
anymore! Furthermore, you should know that I would never act against
someone who hasn’t provoked me first. This old man is guilty and
deserves to be punished!”
“Xiao Yun’er, do you mean you don’t trust me anymore?” Zuo

Shangchen was full of grief as he said, “Your side has always been my
side. The only reason I wanted him to settle his own death was because I
didn’t want to cause too much trouble for you, but since you don’t want
to let him die that easily, I’ll hand him over to you to deal with as you
like.”
Looking at Zuo Shangchen’s beautiful face, Gu Ruoyun’s expression

softened a little. Zuo Shangchen’s gesture had already proven that he
would stand by her side no matter what happened.
“Thank you,” Gu Ruoyun said, “I know this has nothing to do with you,
so I don’t blame you. However, if there’s a next time, Zuo Shangchen, I’ll
break all ties with you! Furthermore… I won’t let the Dark Yin Palace off
the hook!”
www.asianovel.com
149
Now that the matter of the Dark Yin Palace had been settled, it was time
for her to work on more important business…
“Xiao Ye, help me bring this old man back to Hundred Herb Hall.” A
smile was peeking through Gu Ruoyun’s eyes as she spoke to Qianbei
Ye. She continued with an order to her spirit beasts: “Yunyao, Tianqiong,
let’s go. There are still some matters we have to resolve.”
The accomplices had been settled. Their next target was the
mastermind.
She hadn’t expected that Imperial Concubine Ling had been so patient
to wait three whole years without any movements. So she actually
colluded with the Dark Yin Palace in secret…
However, Imperial Concubine Ling could never have expected that Zuo
Shangchen was the Lord of Dark Yin Palace!
“No one is allowed to speak of anything that happened here.”
After Gu Ruoyun left, Zuo Shangchen withdrew his gaze and swept his
eyes over each stunned member of the Ling family. Following that, he
opened his fan with a wave and sneered: “If my identity gets exposed,
this prince will eliminate the entire Ling family!”
Ling Yihui shuddered and hurriedly promised: “Fourth Prince, please

don’t worry. We don’t know anything at all.”
Even in his wildest dreams, he couldn’t have possibly imagined that the
fourth prince of Vermillion Bird Country would turn out to be the Lord of
Dark Yin Palace! No wonder the Dark Yin Palace had helped Gu Ruoyun
back then; it was because of him!

Chapter 198: Evil Gets Its Just Deserts (1)
“Your Majesty, there’s trouble!”
Within the imperial study, Emperor Leng Wujing was in the middle of a
discussion with one of his ministers when an eunuch rushed in without
announcing his presence. He looked like a terrifying monster had chased
him the entire way to the study. Upon seeing Leng Wujing’s displeased
expression, the eunuch hurriedly said, “Your Highness, that Gu Ruoyun
from the Gu family has invaded the palace!”
“What?”
Rage bled across Leng Wujing’s imperial countenance. With an ashen

face, he said: “Three years ago, We didn’t hold her accountable for her
crimes no matter how brazen she acted, even though she killed the
family members of Imperial Concubine Ling! However, now Gu Ruoyun is
using the support of Hundred Herb Hall to run roughshod over this Azure
Dragon Country. She no longer respects Us! Well, We shall see how
Hundred Herb Hall is going to protect her this time!”
To be honest, although he didn’t trust the Ling family, they were at the
very least Imperial Concubine Ling’s family, as well as important figures
in court. Gu Ruoyun had killed them as she liked and had not left any
room for mercy. In the end, because of Elder Yu from Hundred Herb Hall,
he hadn’t pushed the issue with her.
However, this time, even if Hundred Herb Hall tried to step out, they
www.asianovel.com
151
wouldn’t be able to protect her! How would they continue to stand firm
in this world if they did something so heinous as shelter a woman who
went against the emperor?
He didn’t believe that Hundred Herb Hall would willingly become the
scorn of everyone in the world for the sake of a single woman!
After thinking for a bit, he continued speaking: “Servants! Summon

General Luo and General Gu here! We must punish that woman for her
crimes today!”
No matter what, Leng Wujing was the emperor of a country. If he didn’t

take any action after someone had just trampled all over him, how could
he retain his dignity in the future? This Gu Ruoyun didn’t know what was
good for her; she dared to act so impudently in Azure Dragon Country!
……
Onlookers in the imperial city watched as Gu Ruoyun led a group of

people and charged towards the imperial palace, brimming with killing
intent. They burst out into fervent discussion. Following that, they saw
General Luo and General Gu leading their troops as they sprinted
towards the imperial palace. It was obvious, then, that carnage would
soon reign in the imperial city.
Within the imperial gardens, Gu Ruoyun watched the imperial

bodyguards surround her, her gaze cold as ice. A sneer appeared on her
face before, devoid of all emotion, she shouted: “Scram!”
Boom!
A strong burst of qi energy directly struck the chests of the imperial

bodyguards. In an instant, the entire group was thrown into the air,
blood trickling from their mouths. However, even more imperial
bodyguards ran in from all directions, surrounding Gu Ruoyun again.
Suddenly, a mighty, domineering shout came from behind the

bodyguards, vibrating with unconcealed anger: “Gu Ruoyun, you’ve got
some nerve! I tolerated your actions because you were in the employ of
www.asianovel.com
152
Hundred Herb Hall, but now you’ve crossed the line, committing treason
against your emperor! Even if Elder Yu comes, he won’t be able to
protect you!”
The cold aura coming off Gu Ruoyun’s body continued to grow even

more pronounced. However, her expression remained as indifferent as it
was upon her arrival. Her clear pupils surveyed the figure walking out
from behind the bodyguards. He was dressed in imperial yellow, looking
quite the sight. Anyone else would’ve trembled in fear at the emperor’s
personal appearance, but not Gu Ruoyun.
“I have no business with you. Hand over Imperial Concubine Ling, or else
I won’t mind flooding the imperial palace with blood!”
Leng Wujing was completely enraged now. An endless amount of anger

gushed out from his heart like a raging waterfall. As he gnashed his
teeth together, Leng Wujing said, “Gu Ruoyun, you killed Ling Yi and
Ling Yu, and you crippled the sole scion of the Ling family. That’s already
enough to be considered a serious crime. However, now you actually
have the nerve to come into the imperial palace and make demands of
Us! Hundred Herb Hall won’t be able to defend you this time. You’ve
gone too far! Did you think that Elder Yu would still defend you after
you’ve acted so impudently?”
Leng Wujing was the ruler of a nation, yet he had lowered himself to
making such threats. One of the reasons was that he was completely
infuriated by Gu Ruoyun. Another reason was that none of the
organisations within the four countries were allowed to interfere with the
imperial family! This was a rule that everyone understood. Misfortune
would surely fall upon Hundred Herb Hall if the Three Great Authorities
found out!

While facing General Luo, Gu Ruoyun’s expression slowly relaxed. Just as

she was about to speak, her sharp eyes caught an elegant figure striding
into the area.
That person was just as poised and dainty as before and exquisite
makeup covered up her originally pale face. Upon seeing Gu Ruoyun,
she paused for a moment. A vicious glint flashed across her eyes.
This woman was still alive!
She had already brought out the Azure Dragon, but she was still alive! It
wasn’t fair! It was preposterous that an evil woman like her wasn’t dead
yet!
“This concubine greets Your Majesty.”
Imperial Concubine Ling walked to Leng Wujing’s side, brimming with

good humour as she sincerely made her greetings. “This concubine
heard that someone wants to assassinate Your Majesty, so I specially
came over to see who would be so daring!”
After saying so, her fierce gaze swept towards Gu Ruoyun. Her naturally
elegant face immediately turned frigid as maliciousness darted across
her beautiful pupils.
“Imperial Concubine Ling?”
www.asianovel.com
157
With a whoosh, an icy cold look was directed at Imperial Concubine Ling.
Gu Ruoyun sneered: “You came just in time! You paid off the Dark Yin
Palace to assassinate me, but they hurt the people by my side instead
and even kidnapped a child to threaten me. As the mastermind, how
should we settle this grudge between us?”
Imperial Concubine Ling’s expression abruptly changed. She glared

ferociously at Gu Ruoyun before turning to face Leng Wujing, speaking in
an aggrieved tone, “Your Majesty, this concubine has been unjustly
accused! All these years, this concubine has been helping Your Majesty
manage the imperial harem, how could I have had the time to plan such
a scheme? It’s clear that Gu Ruoyun hasn’t had enough, even after
killing my father and nephew! She’s trying to kill the entire Ling family!
Such a vicious woman should be hacked into pieces and die without a
whole corpse! Otherwise, she’ll probably think that no one in Azure
Dragon Country is able to restrain her and she won’t accord the proper
respect due to Your Majesty at all!”
These words targeted the sore spots in Leng Wujing’s heart.
He smiled coldly and said: “General Gu, General Luo, what are you
waiting for? Capture this woman immediately!”
“Understood!”
Old Man Gu’s sinister gaze swung towards Gu Ruoyun, a sneer hanging
on his lips: “Gu Ruoyun, it’s not that I want to kill you, but you’ve gone
too far. Don’t blame Grandfather for not taking mercy on account of our
blood ties.”
After he finished speaking, he ordered the soldiers to surround Gu

Ruoyun.
General Luo hesitated, but he didn’t follow the orders.
This made Leng Wujing burst out in rage: “General Luo, how daring of
you! How dare you disobey Our orders! Have you grown tired of holding
your post as general?!”

Thump!
General Luo knelt to the ground on one knee, his military seal held
tightly in one hand. With his head lowered, he spoke: “Your Majesty, Gu
Ruoyun is your servant’s niece. Even without that relationship, your
servant believes in what she said. It was Imperial Concubine Ling’s fault
in this matter, but Your Majesty is protecting Imperial Concubine Ling.
Truthfully, it’s hard for your servant to obey your orders. Gu Ruoyun is in
the wrong for intruding into the imperial palace, but that was a mistake
made later on. If Your Majesty wants to hold someone accountable, Your
Majesty should first deal with Imperial Concubine Ling! The same laws
apply to both princes and paupers, let alone a concubine of the imperial
harem! If Your Majesty refuses to give a proper explanation, then your
servant would rather hand over this military seal and retire to his
hometown!”
His actions proved that he would stand on Gu Ruoyun’s side, no matter

what happened.
“Very well!” Leng Wujing’s smile looked like a grimace in his extreme
anger. “General Luo, since you’ve made your choice, We will grant your
wish. Old General Gu, take his military seal. From now on, you’re the
only general of Azure Dragon Country.”

“We’ve never met.”

Seeing the man about to reach Gu Ruoyun, Wei Yiyi’s expression

That person’s expression was full of fear as he stared in amazement at

“Shifu, how should we take care of this fellow?”

“Don’t ask me! I won’t speak. Kill me if you want!”

He mumbled to himself with a pale face. Suddenly his gaze swung
