A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

of course.

Despite saying that, Wang Teng immediately refilled Lin Xiu's teacup when he saw it was empty.

Lin Xiu took the tea that Wang Teng served and smiled as he blew on it a few times.

"What are you saying, Fairy Yao Xi? Of course Wang Teng isn't dead. Do I look like the kind of person who would kill their own child?"

"Teng'er, you did a good job. This time you can extend your time outside of school a little longer."

“I know you’re eager to go home. How about this, you go back to the Wang family first to let them know you’re safe, and then come back to continue your cultivation.”

Lin Xiu knew that Wang Teng's attentive service to him was mainly out of a desire for revenge, not out of genuine submission.

But it doesn't matter. He's not King Fuchai of Wu. If Wang Teng were to endure hardship and bide his time, he probably would have remained in that position for the rest of his life.

"Yes! Wang Teng...thanks, Master Lin!"

Wang Teng was beaming with joy. He first bowed to Lin Xiu, then refilled Lin Xiu's teacup before turning to leave.

As for Yao Xi?

What Yao Xi?

Wang Teng asked, "Are there any other people here besides Lin Xiu?"

In Wang Teng's eyes, a female cultivator at the Fourth Extreme Realm was no different from roadside weeds.

.......

Watching Wang Teng's departing figure, Yao Xi went to her still empty cup and felt that Wang Teng was really ill-mannered.

However, she also knew that the issue that should concern her was not Wang Teng's upbringing, but rather...

"Brother Lin, what was the Northern Emperor's form of address for you just now...?"

"Ah~ you mean this~"

"After I defeated Wang Teng, he became extremely dramatic and insisted that I become his master. I had no choice but to agree," Lin Xiu sighed.

What Lin Xiu said was true; he simply omitted some details of the process.

Wang Teng was genuinely begging him to be his master; after all, if he wasn't called master, then he'd have to be called godfather!

Yao Xi: "........."

Yao Xi felt that Lin Xiu must have omitted something.

Could Lin Xiu's "dying or dying" mean he beat Wang Teng to the point of death until he agreed?

.......

"So? What did your master say to you?"

Lin Xiu's words instantly brought Yao Xi back to her senses. Wang Teng's matter had nothing to do with her. The most important thing now was how to get rid of the ruthless lineage that was parasitizing the Yao Guang Holy Land!

She has already learned the truth from her master.

It turns out that her sacred land of Yaoguang is really about to be hollowed out by insects!

The Devouring Heaven Demon Art is still too attractive. In the Yao Guang Holy Land, many high-level cultivators who have no hope of breaking through have tried to cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art in the hope of breaking through through it.

With the Imperial Canon readily available, who would want to study only the Bible?

“Master said... If this generation’s Yao Guang Holy Son becomes the Holy Lord, our Yao Guang lineage will be at risk of complete annihilation.”

Yao Xi did not finish her sentence.

Her master also said that he hoped she could break through her cultivation level as soon as possible, and after reaching the level of a great being or half a step into a great being, she could leave the holy land and find an opportunity to establish her own Yao Guang.

Chapter 244 I crave your body

Should we establish a separate Yao Guang?

Yao Xi was completely dumbfounded when she heard her master's decision.

Is the situation really that critical? If she stays in the Holy Land, can't she help the Yao Guang lineage regain power?

The truth is... it really can't.

Her master told her that unless the Holy Son of Yaoguang was defeated or died, if he were to inherit the position of Holy Lord of Yaoguang, the original lineage of Yaoguang would have no chance of survival!

Defeated or killed?

Her master's words enlightened her, so after asking for some more details, Yao Xi returned to Miaoyu Nunnery as soon as possible.

The Holy Son of Yaoguang is protected by a powerful figure from the Ruthless lineage. In times of crisis, she can even use the Ruthless lineage's secret techniques to borrow an imperial weapon, making her an invincible enemy.

However, this may not be the case for others, especially for Lin Xiu!

The Dao Lord's suppression of the Ji family's powerful figures and the theft of the Void Mirror are still fresh in our minds.

As long as she can persuade Lin Xiu to ask the Dao Master, she can definitely turn the tide and save the collapsing empire!

In fact, if Lin Xiu were willing to take action, there would be no need to even ask the Dao Lord for help!

In the present moment, Lin Xiu has already overwhelmed the Holy Son of Yao Guang, forcing him to lower his seniority and participate in Lin Xiu's Immortal Venerable Competition as a junior.

In another ten or twenty years, Lin Xiu will definitely become a peak powerhouse, or even break through the Dao and become a king.

At that time, dealing with a Yao Guang Holy Son will be a piece of cake.

As for whether Lin Xiu is willing to take action?

Yao Xi had already reached a conclusion about this matter: Lin Xiu would definitely not stand idly by.

Why would Lin Xiu take the initiative to tell her all this if he wasn't going to make a move?

Lin Xiu told her all this to incite her panic and force her to pay a price to get his help in a crisis, right?

As for what the price might be... Yao Xi had already guessed.

Lin Xiu was incredibly wealthy, while she was all alone.

Lin Xiu could easily pull out an imperial weapon, and she could be suppressed by it with ease.

What else could it be but "that kind of thing"?

snort!

As expected, the rumors from the outside world were true, and the gossip she saw last night was also true.

Immortal Venerable Lin Xiu... is nothing but a womanizing scumbag!

.......

Lin Xiu was unaware that Yao Xi had already labeled him a complete scumbag.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if I knew.

This time, he genuinely craved Yao Xi's body in a physical sense.

Seeing that Yao Xi had already obtained the necessary information from her master, Lin Xiu nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, your master is right. Yao Guang does have some skill in cultivating the Ruthless Man Technique."

"But unfortunately, it's just a little bit."

"Brother Lin means..."

Yao Xi was puzzled as to why Lin Xiu seemed to know so much about the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

Even if they all cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, they shouldn't know this much, right? Could it be... that Lin Xiu secretly investigated the Holy Son of Yao Guang?

"What I mean is that the Holy Son of Yaoguang is too rule-abiding. He only knows how to rigidly cultivate the Emperor's Scripture of the Ruthless Man, which has completely blocked his own path."

"By the time he realized what was happening, it was already too late."

Lin Xiu had seen the perfected Devouring Heaven Demon Art and understood its principles. In his view, everyone's Great Dao Code was different, and the Chaos Body cultivated through the Devouring Heaven Demon Art should also have a different Great Dao Code.

The Devouring Heaven Demon Art created by the ruthless woman can only allow her or someone who shares the same Great Dao code to cultivate a Chaos Body.

Others are trapped by the fixed sequence of chaotic Dao codes of the ruthless person, unable to transcend them.

Yao Xi: "......."

Yao Xi was speechless. Did Lin Xiu really not practice the Devouring Heaven Demon Art?

What happened to the promise that you were only borrowing the profound meaning of the scriptures? Why do you act as if you know more about the Devouring Heaven Demon Art than the Holy Son of Yao Guang who actually cultivated it?

.......

Although she had made up her mind to do whatever it took, even at the cost of her own life, Yao Xi did not want to be seen as a weak and vulnerable person in Lin Xiu's eyes.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Yao Xi licked her red lips, ran her delicate hand across her face, and chuckled softly:

"Brother Lin, do you trust Yao Xi so much? Aren't you afraid that after telling me so much, I'll turn around and spread the word that you possess the Devouring Heaven Demon Art?"

“Those wolves and tigers don’t care whether Brother Lin has devoured the essence of others. All they need to know is that Brother Lin has the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.”

"With such an excuse, they can label Brother Lin as a heretic and attack him en masse, sparing no expense to obtain the Emperor Scripture from him."

Yao Xi knew all too well the character of the various holy lands.

Ultimately, it's nothing more than coveting the Imperial Scripture. The talk of acting on behalf of Heaven is just an excuse to seize personal gain.

"Oh? Will you spread this around?" Lin Xiu asked with a smile.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you spread it or not."

"If a bunch of forces really come to demand it, I will choose to give not only the higher-ups, but also everyone at the bottom of their ranks."

"What do you think... will happen then?"

Yao Xi: "........."

Yao Xi's smile froze instantly.

Damn! What kind of outrageous things did she hear from Lin Xiu?

It's one thing to distribute the Devouring Heaven Demon Art to upper-level cultivators, but they might restrain themselves and only allow a portion of the geniuses to practice it. In fact, isn't that exactly what the Jiang family and the Yao Guang Holy Land did?

But... if these are also distributed to lower-level cultivators, they will definitely devour each other! The very foundation of a power will be destroyed!

Even if a Gu King is raised, he will be all alone, and the high-ranking members of his original faction will most likely be wiped out.

Ruthless! Yao Xi thought Lin Xiu was really too ruthless.
