CHAPTER 191: CHAPTER 150: IF MY SENIOR SISTER BELIEVES ME_2

The other party’s brazen demeanor left her somewhat uncertain.

She was eager to know the specific situation, but Si Nanyan and Feng Ruoli had both entered closed-door cultivation.

It would be some time before they emerged.

"Fine... I’m curious to see what you’re really planning."

Ning Shan sensed the condition within her Sea of Qi.

The crack was growing larger. If this continued, she might soon struggle to contain it.

Since this "Wang Shouzhen" said he could help her, she decided to give it a try.

She refused to believe that anyone would dare to make a move against her in the Wonderous Palace.

Meanwhile, Wen Zhixing hastened towards the location of Si Nanyan’s closed-door cultivation.

However, before he could get close, he was stopped.

"Brother Wang, the Palace Master is in closed-door cultivation, please return."

A few guards bowed respectfully to Wen Zhixing.

They already knew Wen Zhixing.

Shortly after, another person stepped forward, handing over a Sect Master’s token, saying, "The Palace Master has ordered that Brother Wang may move about freely, without needing to report."

"Thank you."

Wen Zhixing took the token and promptly turned to leave.

Closed-door cultivation is good.

With Feng Ruoli and Si Nanyan in closed-door cultivation, he was essentially free to do as he pleased.

But Wen Zhixing was not in a hurry to find Liu Qingdai.

Instead, he headed straight for the Refining Artifact Hall.

He was eager to use this newly acquired Puppet Skill.

But before that, he needed to enhance his own artifact refining skills.

「At the same time.」

Inside the secret chamber on Soul Devouring Peak, Si Nanyan was not undergoing closed-door healing.

In front of her, there was a light screen, in which a figure appeared.

The two of them spoke with smiles, enjoying each other’s company.

"Yun Qing, getting in touch with you is truly not easy."

Si Nanyan’s voice was very soft, as if filled with emotion and helplessness, her eyes brimming with profound feelings.

After so many years, they had finally reconnected.

"How can you say such things, Palace Master Si? It’s been years, and Yun Qing has missed you dearly," replied Mu Yunqing with a gentle smile. His voice, smooth as flowing water, exuded intense amiability.

"Is that so? Then why haven’t you come back to see me all these years?"

Si Nanyan shook her head slightly, a hint of reproach in her deep eyes. "If I had known you were so fond of cultivating the Devil Inheritance, I should have contacted you earlier."

This demoness...

Mu Yunqing’s smile slowly faded.

Si Nanyan’s words were full of threatening implications.

Before this, he had received a message from Si Nanyan.

Learning that Zhang Tiancheng had been captured by Si Nanyan and his own Devil Inheritance cultivation had been exposed, he had no choice but to proactively reach out to Si Nanyan.

He really hadn’t expected that this trip for experience would cause so many problems.

Liu Qingdai and Bai Luqiu were captured, Wang Shiyang died, and "Wang Shouzhen" even defected to join the Wonderous Palace.

There was too much happening, and he felt somewhat caught off guard.

"Palace Master Si, let’s cut to the chase," Mu Yunqing said, dropping the pleasantries. "With such a grand move this time, not only did you scheme to capture Liu Qingdai and Bai Luqiu, but you also killed Elder Wang Shiyang of the Righteous Sun Sect. Yun Qing deeply admires your skill."

After speaking, he even offered a formal salute.

Mu Yunqing believed that all these events were orchestrated by Si Nanyan.

Initially, he had somewhat looked down upon Si Nanyan, but this time she had truly earned his respect.

Hmm? Si Nanyan was taken aback when she heard this. Planned to kill Wang Shiyang? She hadn’t done anything of the sort.

Immediately, she realized that Mu Yunqing must have attributed the death of Wang Shiyang to her.

With this in mind, she decided to go with the flow and take credit, remarking indifferently, "It was merely a trivial trick."

"You flatter me, Palace Master Si." Mu Yunqing’s gaze grew more profound.

After his return to the sect, although he had not seen Liu Qingxuan, he had learned some information from others.

Si Nanyan had stealthily entered the Righteous Sun Sect and had released the four great demon generals from the Devil Sealing Cave.

She had even taken control of Elder Wu, who was guarding the Devil Sealing Cave.

Coupled with the subsequent events, he had to reassess his opinion of Si Nanyan.

This demoness has some tricks up her sleeve.

What Mu Yunqing did not know was that it was all mostly a coincidence.

Si Nanyan’s original intention was to capture Wen Zhixing and bring him back.

She had no schemes, just a simple desire to capture someone and stir up trouble along the way.

"Palace Master Si, I wish to put our past grievances behind us. What do you think?"

Thinking about this, Mu Yunqing spoke again.

"What’s in it for me?"

Si Nanyan’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, but she did not agree directly.

"Palace Master Si merely wants to destroy the Righteous Sun Sect. Though Yun Qing is of little talent, he can lend you a helping hand."

Mu Yunqing said light-heartedly.

In his words, the Righteous Sun Sect seemed like an unrelated sect.

"Oh... then how can I trust you?"

Si Nanyan was suddenly interested; this was exactly what she wanted.

She had originally thought about threatening Mu Yunqing into agreeing.

Unexpectedly, she had barely spoken when Mu Yunqing took the initiative.

This person... is indeed a beast! However, this was exactly to her liking.

"Palace Master Si, do you know... My Master is currently in a closed-door death retreat, and even I can’t contact him."

Mu Yunqing spoke with profound meaning.

A closed-door death retreat? Could it be...

"Master is perhaps about to break through."

Mu Yunqing spoke somberly, "Master is currently unaware of these matters. When he comes out, he will surely settle scores with you."

What? Liu Qingxuan is about to break through!

Si Nanyan was shocked and truly became restless.

She was already no match for Liu Qingxuan, and if he were to break through, what was she to do?

Her only reliance was her slumbering Ancestor Master.

If Liu Qingxuan were to come for her before the Ancestor Master awakened...

"Palace Master Si, rest assured. Master’s retreat will take some time; he won’t emerge that quickly."

Seeing Si Nanyan grow anxious, Mu Yunqing immediately offered reassurance.

What should have been a conversation where Si Nanyan held sway over Mu Yunqing slowly came under Mu Yunqing’s control.

"Is this news for certain?"

Si Nanyan’s expression darkened.

She had previously deceived the Righteous Sun Sect with a fake breakthrough.

What if... Liu Qingxuan pulled the same trick.

"Of course it’s true. You’ve now captured Liu Qingdai and Bai Luqiu. If it were false, Master couldn’t remain so composed."

Mu Yunqing shook his head.

Si Nanyan nodded slightly upon hearing this. That’s right.

"Fine, I believe you. May I know if Yunqing has any strategies?"

Si Nanyan took a deep breath.

"Easy. First, you cripple Bai Luqiu," Mu Yunqing said with a faint smile.

Cripple Bai Luqiu?

Si Nanyan was stunned.

"That’s right. Once you’ve crippled Bai Luqiu, you release a statement about going after Liu Qingdai, and I will convey this message to Liu Qingxuan."

Mu Yunqing stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a sense of complete control.

Isn’t this going to completely infuriate Liu Qingxuan!

Si Nanyan knitted her brows tightly; this was pressing Liu Qingxuan too hard.

What if Liu Qingxuan came at all costs, disregarding everything?

A person pushed to the edge could do anything.

"The more furious, the better, Palace Master Si. I’ve heard that your Fortune Divine Devil Skill has reached an otherworldly level..." Mu Yunqing began again with a smile.

The Fortune Divine Devil Skill... Si Nanyan’s heart gave a jolt, and she said, "You mean... you want me to disguise myself as Liu Qingdai?"

"Palace Master Si is indeed quick to catch on," Mu Yunqing nodded.

"If Liu Qingxuan doesn’t come out, then we’ll force him out. Faced with his half-crippled daughter, he surely won’t stand idly by... Add to that my assistance from both inside and out, Palace Master Si, you won’t miss such a prime opportunity to act, will you?"

You... are ruthless.

Si Nanyan looked at Mu Yunqing’s gentle smile and suddenly felt a chill rise in her heart.

The thoughts and actions of this man were even more devilish than the devil himself.

To betray the Righteous Sun Sect, which had been kind to him, so easily.

"What if I fail..." Si Nanyan was still unsure.

This was too dangerous.

"Isn’t Liu Qingdai still in Palace Master Si’s hands? With your trump card intact, Liu Qingxuan wouldn’t dare do much to you," Mu Yunqing said again.

Si Nanyan took a deep breath, her gaze uncertain.

"Palace Master Si, this is my sincerity, what do you think?"

Mu Yunqing spoke earnestly, his eyes calmly meeting Si Nanyan’s.
