I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 866 Assassin Team

Mi Bayue appeared on the battlefield and single-handedly defeated a hundred high-level Yang Meridians, resolving part of the crisis brought by Jin Kun. The advantage she brought to the Yin Meridians was not only in balancing combat power, but also in boosting morale!
Whether it's a war between mortal nations on the mortal continent or a clash between two factions in the spiritual continent, morale is one of the keys to victory.

Countless spiritual masters on the battlefield were shocked by the news they received, especially the geniuses who were from the same era as Mi Bayue, most of whom had a complex and indescribable feeling.

Take the Book of Justice, who was on the battlefield, for example. He couldn't help but turn cold, his usual crazy smile vanished without a trace, and he muttered something silently.

The defeated Yangling Master before him thought he was being mocked and said in humiliation, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

The Book of Justice glanced at him sideways and suddenly sheathed his sword.

Yang Lingshi never expected that this madman would let him go. For a moment, he couldn't believe it and thought that the Book of Justice had some kind of conspiracy.

The Book of Justice, however, asks: "Where is Tu Yaning?"

Yang Lingshi did not answer immediately.

The Book of Justice said impatiently, "Fighting with you is pointless. Tell me his whereabouts, and I will spare your life."

The spirit master's face was grim. "I am from a different sect than Tu Yaning. Even if I knew, I would not use this to save my life!"

The Book of Justice chuckled, as if to say: I didn't expect you to have some backbone.

Yang Lingshi thought he was about to die, but a thunderous storm struck before his eyes, and the figure of Gongyi Shu was already a hundred meters away.

The man had already gone far away, but one could vaguely hear him muttering to himself, "Damn it! Someone got promoted so quickly by himself!"

The spirit master was stunned for a moment. His first feeling was not relief at escaping death, but an instant realization of who the Book of Justice was referring to.

"Unprecedented and unparalleled..."

Mi, if it remains silent in August, will surely amaze everyone when it does.

This reminds countless people of the time when she swept aside countless geniuses at the Lingxi Grand Gathering, earning the Lingxi comment 'unprecedented and unparalleled'.

Before Mi Bayue was promoted to a high-level spiritual master, everyone was watching her progress and couldn't fully accept this assessment, especially since her Yang Meridian hadn't been fully revealed at the time.

At this moment, everyone fell silent, and a thought even crossed their minds: as long as nothing unexpected happens in the future, it's only a matter of time before Mi Bayue ascends the throne.

In less than ten years, she went from a spiritual being to a nine-star celestial being... Could it be that she will already be on the throne before the centennial Dao Proving Conference is even held?
What should have been a laughable dream, when spoken by Mi Bayue, evoked not amusement but rather a deep sense of dread and exhaustion—how can one describe this feeling? Perhaps the students of Du'e Academy who were in the same year as Mi Bayue back then could best empathize with it.

Good guy.

Their young dean has already reached the Heavenly Venerable level.

Because they're no longer on the same level, they're not upset anymore.

Disciples of the Du'e Academy, such as Guo Wenting, Rong Yuelin, and Tang Yingfeng, upon learning of Mi Bayue's great victory over the Yangmai Heavenly Venerables, could only shout "The Academy is mighty!" and refused to consider the fact that she was younger than them and had once been their junior sister.

When someone has become so outstanding that you can't even catch up, you can't even feel envy or jealousy. You change your perspective and can actually watch the showdown between those high-achievers—doesn't that hurt? That's how we used to be, and now it's your turn!

"Although Mi Bayue is already a Celestial Venerable, we were once her fellow disciples and classmates, so we can't fall too far behind her. Kill!"

"Hahahaha, when it comes to genius and talent, isn't our Yin Meridian the superior one!"

"They always say our Yin veins are filthy and incompatible with the world, so how come our Bookworm Marquis has advanced so quickly without being corrupted by spiritual poison at all?"

The morale of the Yin-type spiritual masters on the ground soared, and they not only fought against the Yang-type spiritual masters in terms of spiritual magic, but also engaged in verbal battles.

The facts were right in front of them, and the Yang Meridian Spirit Masters couldn't refute them no matter what they said, leaving them furious.

Some Yin spirit masters have already called Mi Bayue the Bookworm Marquis. This title should have been awarded to those who won the battle at the Centennial Dao Proving Conference, but now that it's being called out, no one objects.

If Mi Bayue can't be ennobled for her feat of fighting against a hundred men single-handedly, then no one in the entire Spirit Master world can be ennobled.

It's not that I can't beat the ground-based Yang Spirit Masters; what's infuriating is that I can't out-argue them.

However, this situation soon changed. A large number of low- to mid-level Yang Spirit Masters sent to the battlefield by the Golden Kun Throne shifted the advantage to the Yang Meridians.

That's the majority of the fighting force of the Hopeless Plains.

The Golden Kun Throne was sent in with the intention of eradicating the Yin Veins and disrupting the battlefield; it was essentially an all-out effort.

Mi Bayue turned the tide of battle on the high-level Celestial Venerable battlefield, but the ground battlefield was not her stage, unless she broke the rules of the battlefield...

"Now that Mi Bayue has appeared on the high-level battlefield, she will no longer interfere in the ground battlefield."

"On a battlefield in the sky," Yan Zichun said.

Shu Pingsheng, who was on the same battlefield as her, said, "She has a backup plan."

Yan Zichun asked, "What secrets of heaven have you glimpsed?"

Shu Pingsheng said, "No."

He hadn't glimpsed the secrets of the battlefield, and that's why he was so certain...

Shu Pingsheng looked calmly at Yan Zichun, "Don't you think so too? She doesn't do things she's not sure about."

Yan Zichun smiled and said, "I have no connection with Mi Bayue, so you know her better than I do. Now that you've said that, I feel relieved."

Shu Pingsheng remained noncommittal, then suddenly paused.

Yan Zichun's expression also seemed unusual.

The two exchanged a glance, knowing what information the other had received, or perhaps what changes on the ground battlefield they had sensed through their spiritual awareness.

Strange phenomena arising from the rules of 【Eternal Dreamland】 appeared in clusters across the battlefield, while new Spirit Masters emerged one after another.

On a certain ground battlefield, a group of strangely beautiful male and female sorcerers quickly assembled and formed teams.

When they appeared in the sight of other battlefield spirit masters and joined the battle between the Yin and Yang factions, they left a deep impression on both factions with their mysterious and terrifying fighting style.

With its back adorned with eerie wings, it is fast and agile, engaging in close-quarters combat. Its hands are sharp blades formed from eerie energy, connected to its five fingers.

It can kill without leaving a trace and also absorb the enemy's spiritual energy to replenish its own consumption.

The spirit mediums who witnessed this scene were stunned.

With the arrival of these cunning sorcerers, who resembled malevolent assassins, they found themselves at a loss for where to begin.

Some people recognized the identities of these people who had joined the Tricksters by their clothing and appearance.

"They seem to be disciples of Cuixia Valley."

In fact, it wasn't just the person who spoke who recognized them; everyone else did too. The disciples of Cuixia Valley were so easily recognizable by their attire, and their appearances were also affected by the [Nightmare] contract.

"How could the disciples of Cuixia Valley be so powerful?"

Yes.

Strong.

They believed that they would be no match for the disciples of Cuixia Valley in a fight.

Although Cuixia Valley's status in Lingzhou rose steadily after becoming a vassal state of Yongmeng Township, and disciples from various other forces dared not bully or underestimate them, all of this was based on their respect for Yongmeng Township, not on Cuixia Valley itself.

Most people in Lingzhou secretly jokingly refer to Cuixia Valley as the back garden of Yongmeng Township, and the beautiful disciples of Cuixia Valley are like butterflies in the back garden, serving Yongmeng Township and used for aesthetic pleasure, with no real strength of their own, except for Meng Tingchun.

Otherwise, given the resources of Eternal Dreamland, they could easily provide the disciples of Emerald Cloud Valley with other secret techniques to enhance their strength. There's no need for them to continue contracting with [Nightmare], a mediocre and low-to-mid-level monster.

At this moment, all prejudices and biased assumptions about Cuixia Valley have been shattered.
