28: Supernatural Power: Automatically Maxed Out! The Scheme of Tang Zhen and His Grandson!

She didn't know how to describe herself.

The majesty of a Holy Revered Master and the dignity of a Revered Master had shattered into pieces during that absurdity just now.

Yet... deep within her body and Soul, there was a sense of lethargy after being completely satisfied and... a faint, lingering attachment.

She sat blankly on the couch for a long time until the heat on her face gradually receded, only then forcing her somewhat weak body to stand up.

With a wave of her hand, she summoned clear water to meticulously clean the marks on her body. She changed into a brand-new, tightly wrapped moon-white palace dress, recombed her long hair, and donned the jade hairpin that symbolized her status as the Holy Revered Master.

The person in the mirror still possessed peerless beauty and an ethereal, cold temperament, as if the absurdity and loss of composure on the couch had never happened.

Only she knew that the hint of lingering passion deep in her eyes and the indelible tremors in her physical memory reminded her of what had occurred.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her churning emotions. Her face regained the calmness and majesty befitting the Canglan Holy Master, though beneath that calm lay an indescribable complexity.

She walked to the window and looked toward Lu Yu's guest courtyard, her gaze distant.

She had truly fallen for Lu Yu... fallen for the young man who was her Disciple's fiancé... At the thought of her Disciple, who was as cold as frost, Leng Qingshuang sighed helplessly.

"Qingxue... I'm sorry... This is also Revered Master's first time being a woman. From now on... Revered Master cannot be without Lu Yu..."

"You and I... shall each rely on our own abilities..."

And that brat... I'll settle this score with you later!

We'll see if I, a Mahayana Stage Cultivator, can press you down until you cry and beg for mercy!

Just then, a jade pendant at her waist used for emergency contact suddenly grew slightly warm.

Her Divine Sense delved in; it was a message from the Xuanbing Guard with only a few words:

"Abnormal movements in the Black Mist Swamp, demonic Cultivators appearing frequently. Tang Zhen's confidants have returned with secretive movements. Additionally, there were unusual spiritual energy fluctuations in the Sect's storage 'Area C' last night, suggesting unregistered withdrawals."

Leng Qingshuang's eyes suddenly became as sharp as ice.

Is the fish finally unable to resist biting the hook?

They've even started reaching into the Sect's storehouse... It seems they are still short on Materials.

She pondered for a moment before sending a message back: "Continue monitoring, do not alert them. Investigate the storehouse matter secretly and record a list of all abnormally withdrawn items."

"In addition, double the manpower to protect the guest courtyard where the Saintess and Lu Yu are. If there is any movement, you may act first and report later without needing to ask for instructions."

"Understood!"

Cutting the connection, Leng Qingshuang gazed at the deep night outside the window, her fingers lightly tapping the windowsill.

The wind precedes the mountain storm; what follows is the beginning of the true confrontation.

However, her current priority was to Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Mahayana Stage as soon as possible!

At that time, a newly ascended Mahayana Late Stage would be at their Peak!

An aging Mahayana Late Stage Grand Elder like Tang Zhen would no longer be a match for her!

In the early morning, as the sun gradually rose over the distant lake, Lu Yu had safely returned to the guest courtyard, as if he had only been out for a night walk.

Lin Wanqiu was still in meditation, completely unaware.

He began to check the other System reward he had received.

Special Divine Ability: Auto-Max Level?

This name was chosen quite casually.

[Special Divine Ability: Auto-Max Level: The protagonist can automatically comprehend all Cultivation Techniques or divine abilities rewarded by the System to the highest level!]

"Whoa!"

Lu Yu was instantly shocked. What a stroke of luck!

He was just worrying about the difficulty of cultivating the Immortal Grade Cultivation Technique, the Blazing Sun True Fire Art. Was this a pillow being delivered just as he was getting sleepy?

The next moment, he circulated the Blazing Sun True Fire Art within his body, and a continuous stream of insights into the Blazing Sun True Fire Art emerged from the depths of his mind!

His level of comprehension of the Blazing Sun True Fire Art also rose rapidly, reaching the level of Perfection in an instant!

It saved him who knows how many years of comprehending this Immortal Grade technique!

The next moment was the same for the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Scripture, which he comprehended to the level of Perfection.

Because his comprehension of the techniques had improved, and these were Immortal Grade techniques at that, his own strength increased significantly once again!

Furthermore, his control over the Blazing Sun True Fire, the Nine Yang Haori Body, and the Phoenix True Flame became even more powerful!

With the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Scripture reaching the ninth revolution, his cultivation speed greatly accelerated, and the Foundation he gained from cultivation became indestructible.

Now he could also guide Lin Wanqiu in cultivating this technique, so he wouldn't be clueless when she came to ask him questions.

System-produced items are truly of the highest quality!

Meanwhile, in another luxurious courtyard within the Canglan Sacred Sect.

Tang Wu sat leaning against a couch, his face pale and his right arm gone, his eyes burning with deep-seated resentment.

Tang Zhen sat opposite him, his face so gloomy it seemed it could drip water.

"Grandpa, are we just going to let it go? My arm... my dignity!"

Tang Wu growled, aggravating his injury and making him grimace in pain.

"Shut up!"

Tang Zhen barked, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"Let it go? How could we let it go!"

"That kid and that bitch Leng Qingshuang will both pay the price!"

He lowered his voice.

"Word came from your Revered Master... the remnant soul of the demon lord. The final profound yin true water and several key auxiliary Materials must be prepared within half a month!"

"They have already made arrangements in the Black Mist Swamp. As soon as the items arrive, they can activate the Nine Serenities Demon-Summoning Array to bring down more of the Demon Lord's power! At that time, Lu Yu will be the first one we deal with, extracting his Soul and refining his spirit!"

"Leng Qingshuang... Hmph, her Profound Yin Origin will be the best sacrifice for the Demon Lord!"

Hearing this, Tang Wu's eyes shone with an excited and cruel light.

"Half a month... Good. Grandpa, what do you need me to do?"

"For the next few days, recover from your injuries quietly. Don't cause any more trouble, to lull them into a false sense of security."

Tang Zhen said coldly.

"As for the storehouse, I've already had Sleeper Agents tamper with things and take out a few inconspicuous but key items. Only the last two are missing: the 'ten-thousand-year cold marrow' and the 'earth core fire lotus.' These two things... hehe,"

A sinister smile appeared on his face.

"They're in that girl Luo Qingxue's private storehouse, and... there's also a backup in Leng Qingshuang's Tingtao Pavilion treasury. Tell me, what would happen if these things vanished from under their noses, or... were found in the hands of someone close to them?"

Tang Wu was stunned at first, then realization dawned on him, and a resentful, expectant smile appeared on his face.

"Grandpa is brilliant! Not only can we gather the Materials, but we can also throw dirt on them! Especially that Lu Yu... if the stolen goods are found with him..."

"Exactly!"

Tang Zhen sneered.

"So, over the next few days, think carefully about how to throw this dirt accurately and ruthlessly! Half a month from now will be the day they all die!"

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, their eyes filled with the malice of a successful conspiracy and impatient madness.

The night grew even deeper.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface of the Canglan Sacred Sect, killing intent had quietly spread like a spiderweb, waiting for the prey to approach.
