Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 10: The King of Bliss
The world of cultivation is now divided into two major factions: the righteous and the demonic, but neither is a monolithic entity. This war between good and evil centers around two secular dynasties, each with a deeper mortal foundation, poised to plunder more cultivation resources.

The Demon Sect is divided into five major sects. Song Xinci's Buried Sword Valley is the most "Buddhist" of the five, rarely participating in jianghu feuds. The Bliss Sect is the exact opposite, with its disciples being the most competitive and particularly fond of dual cultivation, a notorious reputation.

In Yun Yi's memory, after the King of Bliss was killed by Song Xinci, his wife's adoptive grandfather took the opportunity to occupy the Bliss Gate, and from then on the strength of the Sword Burial Valley reached a new level.

Yun Yi had no recollection of that fierce battle. He only remembered that after the battle in the ruined temple, he was knocked unconscious by Song Xinci's palm, and when he woke up, he was lying in a coffin in a mass grave.

Song Xinci must have resorted to this desperate measure because he was unable to distract himself to protect him.

But this time was different. Song Xinci was injured and her cultivation level in the Return to Void Realm had not yet recovered. Suzaku was even driven away by her, leaving only Yun Yi as her helper.

The sure-win situation turned into a 50-50 situation, which really made Yun Yi a little annoyed.

But what he didn't know was that, precisely because of this life-and-death alliance, Song Xinci's eyes finally changed when she looked at him. From an ant, she became a human with some wisdom.

……

The rain gradually stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight returned to the world. The mess inside and outside the temple was covered with a golden edge, which made it look not bloody but rather sacred.

The King of Bliss was very fond of this beautiful scene.

He was a tall middle-aged man with smooth and white skin, heavy makeup on his face, a colorful gauze on his body, and a pipa on his back. At first glance, it seemed as if the figure in the mural had come alive.

Judging from his magical weapon, he was a ruthless character who was extremely skilled at deceiving people. His realm was also in the late Return to Void Realm. In terms of combat power alone, I'm afraid the three old tailors would not be his match.

This is the realm of spiritual practice. The further you advance, the higher the level, the higher the step, and the higher the gap, which is insurmountable.

Of course, this does not include a few geniuses who can kill people across their combat power levels.

The King of Bliss descended from the sky, with the setting sun behind him shining like Buddha's light. His arrival in the nameless town really made this dilapidated temple shine.

In the dilapidated temple, he laughed as soon as he saw Song Xinci, and asked curiously, "Did something go wrong with your training? How did you become so useless?"

Song Xinci had already taken off Chou Ya's costume. This was Yun Yi's strong request. He said that if the two of them died here, he would rather be buried with the beauty.

She raised her head slightly and looked at the Bliss Heavenly King, without any fear, and said in a cold voice: "That's right, I really don't have any cultivation left."

The King of Bliss shook his head. It seemed that all the people who were eating, drinking, gambling, whoring and having sex outside the temple, Zhu Qiyi, the old tailor, Xuan Jiao, and the stinky beggars in the temple were dead, except for Zhuque who was good at escape.

He said, "It seems that you have already reached a stable state. Even I cannot tell your depth."

Song Xinci suddenly revealed a charming smile, "So, are you still planning to fight me to the death?"

The King of Bliss stared at Song Xinci in a daze. He really loved her beauty and wanted to make her into a specimen and put her in his "Red Beauty Pavilion" where he collected beauties from all over the world, so that he could observe her day and night.

He looked enthusiastic: "If you want, it doesn't have to be like this."

"But you know my answer. I've never been willing to do that."

"You really don't want to think about it again? Follow me, I won't let you down."

Song Xinci covered her lips and chuckled, her tone full of sarcasm: "I know very well what will happen to Qiu Qinglian."

The Blissful Heavenly King said, "How about I help you kill Song Guanglin and avenge your mother?"

"Song Guanglin, as the leader of the Qinglian Sect, has already reached the Hedao realm. Are you sure you can kill him?"

"If I had you, I could achieve enlightenment within half a year!"

"It's a pity that the price of your fusion with the Dao is my death."

The Blissful Heavenly King said in disappointment, "After all I've said, you're still so stubborn."

Song Xinci smiled and said, "You think you can use me as a tonic for yourself? That's a nice thought."

There was a distance of about three steps between the two men. The King of Bliss stood at the door of the dilapidated temple. If he didn't move forward, there would be no talk because they were too close.

But now it seems that a life-and-death battle is inevitable. The Blissful Heavenly King was a little depressed. Firstly, he didn't know what realm Song Xinci was in, and secondly, if he took action, it would inevitably hurt her beautiful body.

What frightened him the most was that Song Xinci had remained calm until now. He had neither shown off his magic weapon, the Xisheng Sword, nor shown any sense of urgency as if he were facing a powerful enemy.

In the eyes of the King of Bliss, Song Xinci is now a completely ordinary person, but she is not afraid of him at all.

This sense of contrast made the already suspicious King of Bliss even more conflicted.

He didn't know what to do for a moment.

Song Xinci urged, "Why don't you do it yet? Are you suddenly showing some compassion for women?"

The King of Bliss said angrily, "I have always been kind to women."

"Heh." It was just a light word, but it almost caused internal injuries to the person.

"If you don't make a move, I'll leave. To be honest, my realm is not stable right now, and I'm too lazy to fight you."

"Song Xinci, do you think I'm a three-year-old?" "Three-year-olds aren't as indecisive as you."

As he spoke, Song Xinci actually walked straight towards the entrance of the dilapidated temple. The King of Bliss who was blocking the way there didn't understand what Song Xinci meant, so he had to step back a few steps.

The momentum has weakened a bit.

Song Xinci said impatiently, "You don't want to fight, and you don't want to give way. What do you want?"

King Ji Le thought that since he couldn't see through Song Xinci's cultivation level, it meant that she had at least returned to the late stage of Return to Void Realm, or might even have gone one step further and reached the He Dao Realm.

In the state of harmony with the Supreme Being who forgets all emotions, he has no chance of winning.

Fortunately, her realm is indeed unstable now, and I can take this opportunity to kill her. Otherwise, when her Hedao realm is stable, everyone in Ji Le Men will be killed.

Song Xinci kept staring into the eyes of the King of Bliss and could see that he was thinking something.

What a pity, you miscalculated one thing. Song Xinci's realm is indeed unstable, but he is still far from the Hedao realm.

After careful consideration, the King of Bliss made a rebounding lute gesture, and it seemed that he had made up his mind.

He said, "Since you are so stubborn, I have no choice but to take action."

Song Xinci suddenly sneered.

The Blissful Heavenly King suddenly became alert when he noticed the body of the smelly beggar in the dilapidated temple moved slightly. He immediately guessed that Song Xinci was up to something and that the smelly beggar was harboring murderous intentions.

So he played the pipa, and the sound wave unexpectedly did not attack Song Xinci first, but rushed towards the corpse in the corner. At the same time, he walked back a few steps and came to the outside of the ruined temple.

The scene before him was just as he had expected: the beggar's corpse suddenly exploded, raining blood all over the sky. Song Xinci stood amidst it, completely unaffected, having already cast a protective magic weapon beforehand.

Everyone in the world knows that the King of Bliss loves beauty the most and has the most severe obsession with cleanliness.

But one thing greatly puzzled the Heavenly King of Bliss. Detonating the stinking beggar's corpse would do him no harm, so what was the point? If Song Xinci had set up a formation within the ruined temple, it should have led him in, not out.

Unless... unless there is murderous intent outside the ruined temple!
Just as he figured this out, he found that the corpses or broken limbs around him exploded one after another, like that of the stinky beggar, with blood foam flying everywhere.

The King of Bliss immediately plucked the pipa, and waves of sound surrounded him, without a trace of filth.

Then he heard the sound of a flute.

Xisheng Sword!
But why is the person holding this sword a Xuan Jiao? !

The corpse of the black dragon has been outside the temple, lying behind the King of Bliss. As he retreats step by step, he gets closer and closer to the corpse.

The King of Bliss is good at playing the pipa, which suggests that he is good at long-range attacks, but not necessarily a master of close combat.

This was the result of Yun Yi and Song Xinci's discussion, so they decided to set up a trap and let the King of Bliss approach the murderous intent on his own, the closer the better. This way, they could kill him with one strike, leaving him no chance to react.

Yun Yi pretends to be Song Xinci and uses words to make King Ji Le suspicious. Song Xinci pretends to be Xuan Jiao and lies on the ground to wait for the opportunity.

Moreover, Song Xinci is very confident in her flawless method. No one below the Hedao realm will be able to see through her disguise!
A lot of planning led to this sword, a fatal sword secretly delivered by Song Xinci!
The King of Bliss was no ordinary person either, and he immediately used several magic weapons to protect himself.

Unfortunately, the Xisheng Sword was as powerful as a dragon. It easily avoided all defenses and pierced through the pipa as easily as cutting tofu. As the strings broke one by one, the expression on Jile Tianwang's face became more painful with each sound.

However, as a peerless master in the late stage of Return to Void Realm, King Ji Le Tian Wang would not submit to being killed. He immediately destroyed his magic weapon and pushed the pipa towards the tip of the sword.

The silver dragon transformed from the Xisheng Sword had a slight deviation because of this. The tip of the sword should have pierced the throat, but in the end it only pierced the shoulder.

Even so, Blissful Heavenly King was convinced that the ruined temple still held hidden secrets, and that he absolutely could not tangle with Song Xinci there. He was so willing to cut off one of his arms to block the remaining energy from the Xisheng Sword, then he pushed off the ground with both feet, soared into the sky, and fled without even looking back.

After watching the majestic King of Paradise flee like a drowned dog, "Song Xinci" from the ruined temple slowly walked out and said to "Xuan Jiao": "It's time for us to leave. This person is very suspicious and will definitely come back after he figures it out."

"Xuan Jiao" removed her flawless technique, revealing Song Xinci's true appearance. She then transformed Yun Yi back to his original form and said expressionlessly, "Why do you impersonate me... so vividly?"

Yun Yi thought, how can I answer this? I saw you too much in my previous life, and I have already memorized your behavior patterns, conversation and personality.

I can't forget it even if I want to.

As he took off his linen clothes and returned them to Song Xinci, he smiled and said, "Maybe the King of Bliss doesn't understand you that well."

Song Xinci looked strange: "But you seem to be very familiar with me."

"It's just a coincidence."

Song Xinci took the clothes and went to find a secluded place to change. Then she returned Yun Yi's white scholar's shirt. After a lot of trouble, the two of them finally returned to their original appearance.

After a few exchanges, Yun Yi was filled with the fragrance of women. His tone was a little gentler: "Where are we going to escape to next?"

Song Xinci had never been close to a man before. Now surrounded by Yun Yi's scent, she suppressed her shame and said, "I'm not running away. I'm setting up another trap. The next time I see him, I'll kill him completely!"

To deal with people like the King of Bliss, we must eradicate them completely!
