"That person's eyes... I will never forget them in my life... There was no anger, no killing intent, not even the slightest hint of 'human' emotion... It was like a sword standing high above, only knowing how to execute the laws of the Heavenly Dao... It was like... the legendary... the unspeakable..."
"Clang—!"
Just at the moment when Deacon Wang was about to spit out the last few words—
An extremely short, clear sword cry, which did not sound in the physical space at all, exploded without warning deep within the seas of consciousness of Gu Yang and Zhao Yuelian!
That was a "sharpness" that had reached the absolute extreme.
Even the violently spewing earth vein poison fire around them bizarrely stagnated for half a breath at the instant this sword cry sounded.
Deacon Wang's hoarse voice, like a broken bellows, came to an abrupt halt.
He remained in his posture of kneeling on the ground, looking up in terror. His body didn't explode, no blood spurted out, and not even the slightest ripple appeared in the surrounding space.
However, Gu Yang's dark eyes shrank to the size of pinpricks at this moment.
Right in the center of Deacon Wang's wrinkled brow, a red line as thin as a hair emerged extremely slowly.
"Thud."
The luster in the depths of his eyes was instantly completely extinguished, like a dying candle blown out by a fierce wind.
His withered body fell straight forward, smashing heavily onto the scalding rock wall without the slightest struggle.
That extremely hidden, yet absolutely overbearing intangible sword intent had directly crossed an unknown number of tens of thousands of miles of space.
Like a sharp blade that could cleave heaven and earth, it split Deacon Wang's divine soul in two right down the middle!
Instant obliteration!
A pungent smell of rusty iron and blood flashed through the scorching air and vanished.
Zhao Yuelian, standing half a step behind Gu Yang, trembled violently.
The blood color completely drained from her cold, stunningly beautiful pale face.
"Is this... Soul-Slaying Sword Intent?!"
This Fairy Lingshuang, at the great perfection of the late Core Formation stage, only felt her hands and feet turn icy cold at this moment, a chill shooting straight from her tailbone to the top of her skull.
She stared fixedly at the corpse on the ground whose divine soul had completely dissipated.
Leaving a mark silently in someone else's territory, and once the core secret was touched upon, directly crossing tens of thousands of miles to obliterate the divine soul!
This terrifying method was something even Nascent Soul old monsters might not be able to achieve.
In the entire Eastern Region of the Cangyun Continent, only those lunatics who had severed all emotions and desires, treating all living beings as straw dogs, could accomplish this!
Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions.
The Supreme Sword Sect!
Gu Yang used the intelligence expansion function without hesitation.
[Do you wish to spend 10 Destiny Points to expand the intelligence on the sword intent?]
"Yes!"
[Remaining Destiny Points: 210]
[Green Intelligence: The one who obliterated Deacon Wang's divine soul just now was the secret "Supreme Emotionless Sword Intent" of the Supreme Sword Sect. This sword intent had lain dormant in his sea of consciousness as early as half a month ago. Note: The reason the hidden piece could bypass the mountain-protecting grand array was because the array's life gate was actively opened for a full half-hour that night by a certain "Cloud Water Almighty" holding the sect master's token.]
The pale blue light screen quietly dissipated.
The cold glint in the depths of Gu Yang's eyes became extremely intense at this instant.
All the clues completely closed the loop in this dark, scorching abandoned mine tunnel.
A terrifyingly bloody web was thus pieced together.
"So that's how it is."
A bone-chilling curve hooked the corners of his lips.
That old dog Zhao Wuji thought he was the chess player, wanting to borrow a knife to kill someone and scheme against Shen Qingyue. But he didn't know that the mad dogs of the Supreme Sword Sect had long had their eyes on that Nine Yin Body, plotting to capture her alive.
And the most ridiculous part—
The grand array the Falling Cloud Sect relied on to protect the mountain was opened from the inside by its own sect master.
Cloud Water Almighty. Holding the sect master's token, cultivating the Cloud Water Incantation as the main technique. In the entire Falling Cloud Sect, there was only one person.
Liu Yunzi.
"What an immortal-like, righteous sect master."
Gu Yang sneered in his heart.
To eradicate Zhao Wuji, this biggest political threat, this person not only actively invited wolves into the house but also watched helplessly as enemy sect sword cultivators tampered with the poison, using their own genius disciple as a sacrificial victim.
Afterward, he would put on a face of great righteousness, calmly clean up the mess, and legitimately swallow all the benefits.
This greedy behavior was a hundred times uglier than that of demonic cultivators.
"Young Master..."
Zhao Yuelian's voice carried a trace of trembling that was suppressed to the limit.
She subconsciously moved half a step forward, like a chick seeking shelter in a rainstorm, instinctively wanting to get closer to that broad, tall back.
However, Gu Yang still stood in place with his hands behind his back.
His deep dark eyes quietly looked at the thin bloodline on the ground.
No panic, no fury.
Even the rhythm of his breathing hadn't faltered in the slightest.
"The Supreme Sword Sect."
His thin lips slowly, very slowly curled into a cold sneer.
"So, the ones who want to drain my master's Nine Yin origin... are this group of living dead whose brains have been ruined by practicing the sword."
The sole of his boot casually kicked Deacon Wang's corpse.
That demeanor made it seem as if the cross-realm sword strike that was enough to awe the entire Eastern Region just now was nothing more than a wisp of breeze brushing past his ear.
Zhao Yuelian stared at that unfathomable side profile.
Her heart, beating violently out of fear, suddenly skipped a beat without warning.
Just how big of a game of chess was the Young Master playing?
Whether it was the Falling Cloud Sect or the Supreme Sword Sect... in his eyes, they were probably nothing more than chess pieces that could be discarded at any time.
"Thud."
Her knees went soft, and she knelt humbly yet resolutely on the scalding scorched rock.
Her dharma robe slid half an inch off her rounded shoulders, revealing the fine, crystal-clear fragrant sweat on her pale, cold skin.
"This servant... congratulates the Young Master on seeing through the maze."
She tilted up that cold, stunningly beautiful face, her autumn-water bright eyes rippling with breathtaking moisture.
"Whether the road ahead is a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, or the Supreme Sword Pool—"
"This servant's broken body is willing to trample all thorns for the Young Master."
Gu Yang lowered his eyes.
The Supreme Sword Sect's setup was deeper than he had anticipated.
But this was exactly what he wanted.
The greater the opportunity, the denser the web of karma. And the daily intelligence in his hands was least afraid of unraveling mysteries layer by layer.
He didn't go to retrieve the jade box left behind by Deacon Wang; instead, he shifted his gaze not far away—to the female envoy of the River Fiend Sect whose ankle he had crushed, slumped against the rock wall like mud.
"Stuff the Flame Marrow on the ground into that woman's clothes."
His voice was cold and hard as iron, carrying an unquestionable cruel calculation.
"Cripple her cultivation, sever the tendons in her hands and feet, and leave her with one breath."
Zhao Yuelian was slightly taken aback, and then a terrifying bloodthirsty light burst from her fox-like eyes.
"The Young Master's meaning is... to frame her? Deacon Wang stole what he was guarding and was silenced by the female envoy of the River Fiend Sect. That sword intent of the Supreme Sword Sect was formless and immaterial, leaving no spiritual energy fluctuations—the Law Enforcement Hall of the Falling Cloud Sect will only follow the vine to the River Fiend Sect."
"Let the Falling Cloud Sect and that group of demonic cultivators bite each other first like dogs." Gu Yang lifted his foot, the corner of his clothes flapping loudly in the back-rolling earth fire, "Stir this pool of water even muddier."
He strode out with his long legs, walking out of the cave without looking back.
"Clean it up. I'll wait for you in the cave dwelling."
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
