After Favorability Is Maxed

294 The Great Dao Is Like the Blue Sky, and One Can Reach the Golden Core by Climbing

Netherworld glared at him and gritted her teeth. “You’re asking the obvious!”

Although she said that, she had already curled up on her own and wrapped her arms around Liu Yuan’s neck. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice with a face full of humiliation, “Carry, carry This Lord up! What are you still standing there for?!”

This kind of reluctant expression and shyly reaching out for a hug was really nauseating. Even Ning Xiangrong, who was in the most passionate state with Liu Yuan, had never flirted like this before. The Mansion Master probably did not realize how cute she was now.

She probably felt that she had the authority to command others…

Liu Yuan should have continued to speak ill of Netherworld, put on a straight face, and continued to ask her to abide by her duty as a charmed slave. Then, he should have rejected her and let her go on her own.

If he indulged the Mansion Master before it ended, it would help her grow more arrogant and waste a lot of his previous efforts.

However, he had just received the Mansion Master’s virginity not too long ago, and it was the time when he was the one who had taken advantage of others. Seeing that the Mansion Master had not only completed her task outstandingly today, but had also displayed such a lovely side, he would comply with her request.

Moreover, Liu Yuan’s personality was not that tough, especially when it came to his own woman.

Although Netherworld was not his target, Mei Sheng was. His tolerance for Netherworld mostly came from Mei Sheng. Liu Yuan would not do anything too overboard to her.

Today’s situation was perfect.

However, he was still a little unwilling…

“I can carry you, but it will take a while,” Liu Yuan said.

Netherworld was speechless.

Half an hour later…

He returned to the Wuyin Cliff.

Liu Yuan settled Netherworld down. Seeing that she was still very irascible and had the strength to scold him, he knew that she was indeed worthy of her reputation as a powerhouse at the Crossing Calamity stage. Her recovery ability was unparalleled.

This time, he had interfered in the affairs of Bi Luo Mansion, but he had exposed the elders who were not satisfied with Netherworld.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Netherworld directly made a list of people to clean them up. The few people she had killed were the typical examples. Then, she replaced the people she had originally thought highly of. She was swift and decisive, with a fierce and ambitious style.

In the current world of Shangyang, these elders were used to taking advantage of their seniority. They had forgotten that this world was respected by power, and there were many young people who wanted to rise in power.

Although they might have their own factions and supporters, no one would dare to say anything if Netherworld killed them because he was at the Crossing Calamity stage. On the contrary, most of them were in danger and only wanted to protect themselves. Even if a small group of them harbored hatred, they did not have the strength to take revenge.

However, the Mansion Master had clearly thought of ordering the Elders to deal with Liu Yuan during the meeting, but she held back in the end. As a result, she became angry with herself and her attitude toward Liu Yuan became very bad.

But from this, it could be seen that the Mansion Master had already begun to fall.

Eh? How did Liu Yuan know?

He could clearly see the progress bar with a single glance. The favorability level had been jumping up and down repeatedly, but in the end, it had actually moved in the right direction!

It could be seen that the Mansion Master was indeed a masochist, unable to hide from Liu Yuan’s Stockholm attack.

“What made you so happy?” Ling Hua’s voice came from the side, and then a cold and beautiful face tilted and looked at him from behind with a curious expression.

Whew…

Liu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, coughed twice, and restrained his expression. He said seriously, “The Bi Luo Mansion has been settled. They will help us to settle the rest. Whether it is to provoke the three palaces, control their internal collapse, or break their cooperation and reveal the truth of this matter, we only need to wait. When the Jade Mirage Sect is in a terrible fix, it will be your time to show up.”

“Okay, I know,” Ling Hua smiled gently and said.

She helped Liu Yuan adjust his clothes and said, “Are you going to the Nirvana Secret Realm next?”

Liu Yuan nodded. “In a few days, I will go to the real Nirvana Secret Realm. But Zhiying and Netherworld need to cover for me. I will go to another fake Phoenix nest to cover the movement of the real Secret Realm.”

Ling Hua agreed and took the initiative to hug him. She said softly, “I’ll wait here for you to come back.”

…

On the Jade Mirage Mountain, covered in clouds and mist.

The storm of the demonic sect’s sneak attack had finally passed, but without the threat of the demonic sect as a delay, the Jade Mirage Sect had no reason to face the joint impeachment of the seven great sects.

However, Vast Sea Palace Lord was indeed the infamous Zhi Chunqiu. Although he had lost his position as Palace Master, his successor was still under his command. Under his secret instructions, he continued to wrangle with the other three palaces, causing Danqing Palace, who wanted to reverse the verdict, to have a hard time.

Fortunately. the current situation was no longer as weak as before. However. the Jade Mirage Sect could not kill the man as easily as the Bi Luo Mansion. For someone with. high status and reputation like Zhi Chunqiu, unless there was conclusive evidence, the previous situation was already the limit… He could not be tainted any further.

However, Sheng’e was not worried about Zhi Chunqiu. He was mainly worried about his disciple, Ling Yu, and the child of the Black Tortoise lineage that his disciple had brought.

“That child was entrusted by Ling Yu’s friend to join the Jade Mirage Sect. Before that, he met my sect’s previous Sect Master and taught him the cultivation method of the Jade Mirage Sect. He has a deep fate with the Jade Mirage…”

Sheng’e was still trying to persuade Guihuan Elder to give up on the idea of digging the Black Tortoise lineage away from the Jade Mirage Sect through emotional and reasonable methods.

Unfortunately, the old man whose eyes were covered in white mist acted as if he did not hear anything. He walked forward with his Double Serpent Staff as a walking stick and finally stopped in front of a courtyard.

“The child lives here?” the elder raised his head and asked.

Sheng’e did not speak, but Ling Yu behind him appeared and said angrily, “I can’t let you leave with him!”

“Why?”

“T-this is an agreement. I promised someone else.”

“I’m here to ask for his opinion,” said Guihuan Elder. “If he doesn’t agree to follow me, I won’t force him.”

Sheng’e thought to himself, ‘I don’t believe you. When I see him, I’ll definitely promise him all the benefits. I’ll trick him away first. This kind of old monster who has lived for who knows how many years have such thick skin.’

However, the situation was more important than the person, so he could only lead the way in front and bring the Guihuan Elder into the yard.

This was a courtyard prepared for inner sect disciples, which fully showed how important Gu Chang was to Sheng’e.

Whether it was his temperament or his talent in cultivation, Gu Chang was worthy of being the big boss of the future. He did not make any progress in a day. Now, he was already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and was ready to break through to the Core Formation stage.

The moment Guihuan Elder saw the ‘girl’ who was practicing her sword technique seriously, he laughed. “Hehe, the young people these days are really ”

Hearing the strange laugh, Sheng’e was a little confused. However, he still went up to Gu Chang and stopped her. He explained the situation and let her choose whether to stay or leave.

The Guihuan Elder had moved out of the Sea Slashing Tower. As expected, there were a bunch of heavenly treasures and peerless cultivation techniques. They were extremely tempting.

But Gu Chang was puzzled. ‘Sea Slashing Tower? Isn’t that the place my Master often uses to fool his wives?’

However, even though he was suspicious, he could not go back on his promise to Senior Ding Luan. Faced with this temptation, which was comparable to ten thousand taels of gold for a cultivator, he shook his head decisively. “I’m sorry, Senior. I still hope to stay in the Jade Mirage Sect.”

Sheng’e heaved a sigh of relief and felt relieved. At the same time, he was worried that the Guihuan Elder would be angry. However, the situation was unexpected. The old man did not get angry. Instead, he laughed and said, “It seems that you are indeed fated with the Jade Mirage. You have such heart… you are not afraid of being buried. I have a sword here. I will give it to you as an encouragement.”

He took out a sharp green sword and gave it to Gu Chang. “This sword is called ‘Blue Sky’. The great Dao is like the blue sky, and one can reach the Golden Core if they climb their way there.”

Gu Chang received it with both hands.

Sheng’e felt a little strange. The Guihuan Elder had been so stubborn before, why did he suddenly change his mind and let go?

Guihuan Elder retracted his hand and said, “Sect Master Sheng’e, I’ll probably have to leave for a few days.”

Sheng’e’s heart tightened. Was the old man angry?

It was as if the elder had seen through his thoughts. He continued, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back in three days at most.”

“Where are you heading to, Messenger?” Sheng’e asked hesitantly.

“Chiyu Villa,” Guihuan Elder replied.
