13 What...?
"Hmn~! Where's my Senior Brother~?" Wan Meixaing said excitedly!
She wanted to meet her Senior Brother!
The only reason she actually came to this simulation of a secret realm was to be with him!
After reminiscing about her childhood, her willingness to spend time with Yan Shun only increased.
Especially when she noticed how handsome he actually was...!
His smile could make her melt!
"Hehehe~~" She giggled to herself.
—BOOM!
Suddenly, a huge impact sound came from her right, so immediately, she went to check it!
And unexpectedly, she found...
Gao Yue fighting against a group of disciples...!
"What!?" She exclaimed in shock.
Gao Yue was actually losing, so she gazed at the group of disciples and noticed a familiar figure...
Xie Tian!
The eldest disciple of the Alchemy Peak!
More specifically, Gao Yue's fiancee!
Yes, fiancee!
Gao Yue is actually the 7th Princess of the Human Dynasty!
Due to her talents, she was actually brought to the sect to be cultivated by Luo Xueying, their Master.
Since she had a special divine body, Luo Xueying immediately accepted her as a disciple!
I mean...who wouldn't!?
"I need to help her!" Wan Meixiang exclaimed, sprinting towards their direction.
Once she reached it, she immediately used her Sword Intent, however, it was blocked!
"Junior Sister Wan!" Gao Yue exclaimed.
"Senior Sister...we should run! We can't beat them!" Wan Meixaing immediately said.
They easily defended against other Sword Intent!
"We can beat them! We just need to destroy the Intent Suppression Array! My Sword Inteint is useless against them if we don't destroy it!"
'Oh! So, that was the reason my Sword Intent was blocked so easily!?' Wan Meixaing immediately put her brain thinking...
'What can help us win here!?'
She started thinking about it!
She closed her eyes, focusing in her thoughts..
And that's when a memory appeared in her head...
—
"Hmn...Did you understand Little Mei?" Yan Shun said softly.
The cute Little Mei shook her head, she still didn't comprehend what her Senior Brother explained...
"Hmn..." She pouted, a sad look appearing on her face.
Noticing this, Yan Shun patted her head softly and started explaining, this time, he used a basic array as a demonstration.
"You see this array? The Eye of the Array is most of the time focused on where it gathers more Qi."
"So, if you use your Qi Sense and feel where the Qi is more concentrated, you can easily destroy any array!" He smiled.
"It's a pity your Senior Brother can't use the Qi Sense, if I could, I'd demonstrate..."
"But, keep it in your mind...! It's mostly in the part where the Qi is mostly concentrated!"
He tapped her head twice.
And then, almost coughed a mouthful of blood...
He directly used his Mental Power so he could actually make the basic array work!
He was only at the Body Tempering realm after all...
Little Mei looked at Yan Shun... on her face, a smile blossomed!
She rubbed her head against Yan Shun's hand!
"I'll keep that in mind, Senior Brother!"
"I hope so..."
—
At this moment, Wan Meixaing's eyes opened!
They were full of stars!
She immediately used one of the most basic techniques, the Qi Sense and noticed that the place where the Qi was more concentrated...
Was in Xie Tian's sword!
She immediately sent her thoughts to Gao Yue!
Gao Yue looked at her...and then nodded her head!
—Swoosh!
Both of them sprinted towards the group of disciples!
"Beat them!" Xie Tian said coldly.
However, what they didn't expect Gao Yue suddenly concentrated her Qi in her hands and slapped Wan Meixiang's back!
She was sent towards Xie Tian!
Her lips curved into a soft smile, as she, using her sword destroyed Xie Tian's sword!
Then, Gao Yue immediately used her Sword Intent, and knocked all the disciples including Xie Tian!
She didn't want to kill anyone!
"Good work!" She smiled towards her Junior Sister.
"But, how did you know?" She asked, clearly intrigued.
Wan Meixiang smiled like a maiden in love at that moment...
"It's all thanks to Senior Brother Yan!" Her cheeks reddened...
'Senior Brother...?'

"I knew it..." Yan Shun uttered.
Now, he was in a complicated situation.
The Dao Fruit that he had stolen away, was now in Ye Chen's hand!
Somehow, it just went flying towards his hands!
Also, he probably couldn't run away, or even try to fight back.
The last thing he can actually do is bluff!
"You know...? Can you tell your Master to actually appear?" Yan Shun said, his lips curving into a smile.
Ye Chen's eyes widened as he felt sweat form on his forehead.
"What do you mean?" He replied, his voice didn't even flinch a bit.
'Let's just take a shot! At least I died trying...'
"Yan Ji, right?" Yan Shun smiled.
However, in his mind, his brain was processing his entire life.
He analyzed every single encounter with Ye Chen.
He focused himself on the way he talked, the way he moved his body, the way he controlled his Qi!
Then, he started focusing on when Ye Chen received his Master's powers.
He was trying to find some kind of loophole that could make him injured, or even kill him.
He just wanted to live!
Upon hearing Yan Shun's words, Ye Chen's body trembled, and sure enough, instead of saying anything.
A beautiful red-haired woman appeared from the green ring.
She looked at Yan Shun curiously.
How could he know her real name?
"Ah! Senior, finally appeared!"
"...How did you know...?" She asked, her eyes shining with intrigue.
'Time to make my bluff...'
"I don't know if the Senior knows about the... Yan Family in the Upper World...?" He spoke calmly.
Once Yan Ji heard his words, she frowned slightly.
It was her own family.
But, it was destroyed more than five thousand years ago!
"It was your family, right?" He continued.
Yan Ji nodded her head at his words.
'Haaa...Calm down. You got this!'
"And what about the..." He stopped, trying to bring some tension.
"Luo Family?"
'It's the only family I could really say! Yao Meili once told me that Master probably came from the Upper World...!'
'Her surname should be a great family in the Upper World!'
Once Yan Ji heard Yan Shun's words, she trembled...
"W-what about the Luo Family?" Her tone turned soft and even a bit shaky.
"Oh? So, you do know...?" He smirked, it was working out so far.
"Actually, I'm the Luo Family's son-in-law."
"Huh!?" Both Ye Chen and Yan Ji were confused.
"Luo Xueying... My Master? Isn't the name familiar...?" He asked, his voice had a teasing tone.
Thinking about it, Yan Ji...felt a shiver running down her spine...
"D-don't tell me..." She swallowed hard...
"Yup! The princess of the Luo Family!"
At this moment, Yan Ji was trembling!
Like she had encountered her worst nightmare!
She knew about the Luo Family!
It was the strongest in the Upper World.
It had thousands of cultivators that could kill her at her peak with just a snap of their fingers!
The last thing that she wanted was to provoke them!
But, obviously, she didn't know that Yan Shun was purely bluffing.
'No wonder that woman felt so familiar! She was actually the Princess of the Luo Family!'
As she looked at Yan Shun's smirk, she frowned, 'He doesn't hold a grudge against me, does he? Hopefully not...!'
"Mr. Yan! I'm so sorry for my disciple's rudeness!" Her tone turned politely, she even bowed down her head!
"Please spare us!" She pleaded!
Yan Shun had an emotionless face as he saw this...
'It worked!? I'm a fucking genius! Now...'
'I'm going to have a lot of fun~'
"The Dao Fruit." He uttered.
Immediately, Yan Ji's gaze turned to Ye Chen.
"Give him the Dao Fruit!" She urged him!
However, Ye Chen, the pride being that he was, refused!
"No! I discovered this with my own luck! It's my destiny to have this fruit!" He said righteously.
Yan Ji could see a golden aura emanate from his as he said those words, but now...that she was close to Yan Shun.
It didn't affect her!
Instead, Yan Ji slapped Ye Chen in the face.
—SMACK!
"Give him the fruit! And also, apologize to him!" She commanded him with an extremely cold voice.
It wasn't the time for him to be so proud of his 'given luck'!
"B-but!" Ye Chen tried to protest, but once again, he was reprimanded by Yan Ji.
He clutches his fist tightly.
"I, Ye Chen, will never bow my head to anyone!" He said righteously, and then ate the Dao Fruit!
'Fuck! I didn't expect Ye Chen to be so fucking crazy!'
Yan Shun immediately stepped back.
Ye Chen's body started changing, just before his own eyes!
He could hear the bone-cracks, and a dragon roar coming from his body!
It felt like it was a dragon itself being reborn!
Yan Ji looked at this with horror!
Ye Chen actually provoked the Luo Family's son-in-law!?
Now, even if he rebuilt her own body, she would die anyway!
She looked at Yan Shun and just saw a calm look on his face as if he was expecting this to happen...
'Anytime now...' He said inwardly...
[Yan Ji's Affection has increased tremendously!]
[Yan Ji's Affection has reached Best Friends (Deep Respect)!]
'Claim the rewards...!'
[Ding~~! Claiming the rewards from the target 'Yan Ji'!]
[Noticing the host's difficult situation...the System will put the reward together as one!]
'Uh...?'
[Congratulations!
You have received...
The Nine Yang Extreme Body!]
"What...?"
Suddenly, Yan Shun's body started to shine a dark colour!
Normally, it would be a golden colour, since 'Yang' is related to the sun or pure fire!
So, why was it a dark colour!?
[...]
[Demonic Nature detected...]
[Nine Yang Extreme Body ➝ ???]
'The fuck!?'
Suddenly, Yan Shun's body was engulfed by some kind of shadow!
{Hah! I didn't expect this~~!}
Yan Shun's inner demon was back!
{You actually had such a fitting physique for the Demon Path~~Now, you can only bring yourself down and cultivate it!}
{You basically...have Demon Qi already~~Don't worry, I'll teach you~~ Everything from the beginning~~}
The demon whispered sweetly into Yan Shun's ear...
But, this time, he really couldn't refute...
He really had...
Demon Qi.
