My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Su Yue looked at the eggs, then turned to look at Qi Yu, somewhat speechless.

It wasn't that he had lost weight, but rather that Qi Yu had become stronger. When Qi Yu lifted him up, he used less strength, so he felt like he had lost weight.

However, Su Yue didn't say anything and picked up the egg to eat.

Qi Yu kept peeling eggs and serving rice to Su Yue, but Qi Yu himself ate very little.

"Husband, aren't you going to eat?" Su Yue asked in surprise.

Qi Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but I haven't had much of an appetite lately."

Su Yue's eyes flickered slightly. Her husband was quite particular about food, but now he was saying he had no appetite.

Involuntarily, she remembered the pill that Lin Ruoxi had given Qi Yu!

My husband has no appetite now, is it because of that medicine?

But I've shown my husband a medical checkup, and there's nothing wrong with my body!

What exactly does that pill do? What is its purpose?

Before she knew it, the food in front of Su Yue had been completely eaten.

……

In the capital city, at the Lin residence, Lin Ruoxi was also having breakfast, sipping her white fungus soup with a spoon, her every move exuding the elegance of a well-bred lady.

After Qi Yu returned, she never went to Jiangzhou City again, and naturally never went to Yunyu Academy.

She went to Yunyu Academy mainly because of her grandfather's wishes, and also because she had a slight interest in Qi Yu, so she went to take a look.

But now that Qi Yu is gradually under our control, it's better not to go to that place.

Once Qi Yu is completely under her control, that will be the time for her to kill Su Yue.

Her grandfather wanted to kill Qi Yu and Su Yue, but she felt it would be a pity to kill Qi Yu.

The first step in their grand plan was to seize control of the Dayun Dynasty and Taoism.

The leader has now reached the level of a half-step sub-sage, making him arguably the strongest person in the world.

Controlling Taoism is virtually impossible.

But then a glimmer of hope appeared. Because the leader was so powerful, he needed to break through to the level of a Quasi-Saint, and that was the breakthrough.

It's not easy to break through to the level of a Quasi-Saint; otherwise, it wouldn't have been almost three hundred years since a Quasi-Saint appeared.

The leader is in grave danger of dying during this retreat!

With the death of the sect leader, Taoism came under the control of Qi Yu, and since she controlled Qi Yu, it was essentially the same as her controlling Taoism.

Based on the Taoist faith base on the mainland, and combined with the power accumulated by Xuanzong in the endless seas.

With the convergence of the northern and southern schools of Taoism, and the unification of Tao and Xuan, the resulting power, coupled with the robust logistical support of the Great Yun Dynasty, makes it not impossible for them to sweep across the continent.

Su Yue is a threat because she could indeed become a sub-saint, so she must die.

By controlling Qi Yu, we have seized Su Yue's weakness. No matter how strong Su Yue is, she will die!

Everything was proceeding smoothly. She loved playing chess, but in chess, you can't just focus on one point.

She likes to set traps in advance and then lure her opponents into them step by step.

That's just her playing style, which is why she has almost no rivals!

The only match she ever lost was to Qi Yu.

Qi Yu is a very skilled player. He is similar to me, except that his playing style is to remain unchanged in the face of any change and he has no aggressiveness.

To put it bluntly, he's too laid-back; he still harbors goodwill towards the world, which puts him in a passive position.

His laid-back attitude means that he will only retaliate after he has been hurt.

Otherwise, with Qi Yu's talent, he would indeed be a qualified player, it's just a pity he was a good person.

Good people always have a harder life!

If Qi Yu isn't a good person, dealing with him could be quite tricky.

For example, Qi Yu made excellent arrangements in the matter of counterattacking the Great Ding Dynasty.

He used his own strength, status, and beliefs as leverage to gain the support of the rulers of the other six kingdoms.

Others may not know what Qi Yu discussed with those rulers, but she did, because one of the six rulers was one of her people.

Qi Yu did not remain in their country, but he did leave behind a nominal position.

Qi Yu received the seals of prime minister from the rulers of the six states, and the six states would also establish Taoism as their state religion and set up Taoist temples in their capitals.

While persuading them, Qi Yu also increased the influence of Taoism, achieving two goals at once.

The Great Ding Dynasty will be destroyed; that is an inevitable fact.

Although she had a way to save the Great Ding Dynasty, she didn't want to do it.

Destroying the Great Ding Dynasty would mean one less dynasty blocking our path when we sweep across the continent. Why not do it?

Moreover, it can deplete the national strength of surrounding countries!

Most importantly, Qi Yu harbored deep resentment towards the Great Ding Dynasty, so I decided to go with the flow and avoid provoking Qi Yu.

After all, Qi Yu's reputation is very high now, which is really terrifying.

Pushing Qi Yu too far before he is completely under our control will not be good for anyone.

Moreover, she had high hopes for Qi Yu, who might actually become the first sage since the ancient sages.

She cultivates the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique. According to ancient records, the Dao Ancestor was the one who severed the Three Corpses, thus becoming a saint.

After becoming a Grandmaster, she cultivated the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique and completed her first attempt, thus breaking through from the Condensation of Essence to the Integration of Dao.

If this continues, the second time he severs his corpse, he will break through from the Dao Integration Realm to the Quasi-Saint Realm; the third time he successfully severs his corpse, he will break through from the Quasi-Saint Realm to the Saint Realm.

However, the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique was too bizarre, and she herself was not entirely confident that she could successfully complete the three-stage process.

The eerie feeling I had when I dismembered the corpse last time still sends chills down my spine.

There's a reason why the "Severing the Three Corpses" technique is listed as a forbidden art!

Chapter 188 A Terrifying Thought

Qi Yu didn't stay at home; instead, he went back to Tongyun City with Su Chengying to avoid trouble.

In the past few days, visitors have been coming to see him in droves, bringing all sorts of rare treasures, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings.

I'm going back to my parents' house for a couple of days to relax and also to see little Qi Ran.

To Qi Yu's surprise, he saw Qi Ran as soon as he arrived at the Su residence.

Moreover, Qi Ran was actually practicing his sword in the backyard!

Qi Yu was somewhat surprised by this, but he still walked over and came to Qi Ran's side.

Qi Ran saw Qi Yu and recognized him. He bowed to Qi Yu in greeting and then continued practicing his sword.

"Qi Ran, what are you doing here?" Qi Yu asked.

Qi Ran's face remained expressionless, her eyes focused as she swung the wooden sword in her hand.

"Replying to Uncle, I'm coming to school!"

Qi Yu was even more puzzled and asked, "Why don't you go to the private school? What are you doing here?"

"Learn martial arts!" Qi Ran said calmly.

Learn martial arts?

Qi Yu raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "After you finish your private school, will you still come here to learn martial arts?"

Qi Ran nodded without saying anything.

When it came to learning martial arts, Qi Yu began to observe Qi Ran.

Compared to more than half a year ago, Qi Ran is much stronger and taller, and even his body has begun to have true energy flowing through him.

He should be close to becoming a ninth-rank martial artist!

"How long have you been studying here?" Qi Yu asked.

"Half a month!" Qi Ran said.

Qi Yu nodded. Qi Ran's ability to reach this level in just half a month was truly remarkable.

"Do you wield your sword like this every day?" Qi Yu asked.

Qi Ran shook his head and said, "No, before Master went into seclusion, he took me to a place called Qingxuan Valley, where I cultivated for a few days."

Qi Yu tilted his head slightly and asked, "Master? You've taken a master? Who is it?"

After all, they share the same blood, and Qi Yu doesn't want Qi Ran to be led astray.

"It's me? Is there a problem?"

Qi Ran did not answer; instead, a clear, familiar male voice responded.

Qi Yu turned around, looked at Su Yun at the entrance of the courtyard, and raised an eyebrow.

I can't sense any true energy in Su Yun. He's either crippled or he's already a grandmaster, and he's concealed his true energy.

But how could Su Yun be crippled? To cripple him, the other party probably wouldn't have enough lives even if they had ten.

Leaving aside Su Chengying, many people simply can't get past Su Yue.

The Su family is truly terrifying; they now have three Grandmasters!

These genes are truly powerful!

Su Yun is only twenty-five years old this year. Breaking through to the Grandmaster level at this age is considered a top-notch genius.

At the very least, achieving Dao in the future won't be a problem!

"Congratulations on breaking through to Grandmaster, brother!" Qi Yu said with a smile.

Su Yun felt no sense of accomplishment listening to Qi Yu's words; instead, she felt that Qi Yu was humiliating her.
