143: Harmony with the Way

Above the ruins of the Myriad Demon Cave, the smoke of battle had yet to dissipate; the Huan Demon Sect, once a name that struck terror throughout the Eastern Profound Domain, had now become a living Hell.

The aura of the Black Mountain Old Ancestor, capable of suppressing everything within ten thousand li, had completely vanished, replaced by the scorching, abyss-like, and unfathomable Divine Might of Lin Chen at the Peak of Dao Integration.

The demonic cultivators who had luckily survived were planning to flee in the chaos, but were abruptly forced back by a sudden, biting sword gleam.

Liu Ruyan, dressed in white, still bore traces of blood, but thanks to the nourishment of Lin Chen's divine blood, her cultivation at the Late Stage of Dao Integration had largely recovered.

Holding her longsword, she looked like a goddess of the snow mountains punishing all living beings; her cold gaze swept over the trembling demonic women before finally landing on Lin Chen's back, a trace of imperceptible awe and complexity hidden deep within her eyes.

"The chief culprit has been executed. As for the die-hards, kill without mercy." Lin Chen stood with his hands behind his back; though his voice was calm, it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

"From today on, the Hehuan Sect is renamed the Palace of Ultimate Bliss. Su Mei shall be the Palace Master, under my, Lin Chen's, command. Who approves, and who opposes?"

Facing that gaze, which was like that of a god, the remaining demonic cultivators knelt on the ground one after another, their foreheads pressed against the cold stone slabs; how could they dare say a single word of opposition?

The night deepened.

Inside the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, the most luxurious and secretive bedchamber of the Saintess within the Hehuan Sect, red candles flickered.

The furnishings here were extremely extravagant, and after Lin Chen had unleashed his Divine Might, the cloying scent in the air seemed to have become much milder.

Lin Chen sat on the spacious white jade couch, feeling the surging, new power within his body.

At the Peak of Dao Integration, the sensation of being able to stir the Laws of Heaven and Earth with every gesture made his already overbearing will become even more unshakable.

"Creak—" The door was pushed open gently.

Su Mei had changed into a nearly transparent, light purple cicada-wing gauze dress, her fair, jade-like skin faintly visible beneath the sheer fabric, tempting one to commit a crime.

She was no longer the arrogant Saintess of the Demonic Sect; at this moment, her eyes were filled with shyness and timidity, and with every step she took, her plump and resilient buttocks caused her nine snow-white fox tails to tremble slightly.

She slowly walked up to Lin Chen, knelt on both knees, and lowered her proud and beautiful head, positioning it directly in front of Lin Chen's knees.

"Master... The Old Ancestor is dead, and my great revenge has been avenged. This life of Mei'er, from my Spiritual Root to my Divine Soul, is already your private property."

Su Mei's voice was bone-meltingly sweet, carrying the relief of having survived a catastrophe.

She extended her slender, fair fingers and gently untied the purple ribbon around her neck.

The thin, cicada-wing-like gauze slid off her rounded shoulders and pooled at her ankles.

In that instant, the perfect Physique of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was presented to Lin Chen without reservation.

Unlike human women, the tip of each of Su Mei's tails had a faint rosy glow; that was the ultimate sensory switch of the Celestial Fox clan.

Her full, perky breasts trembled slightly in the air, the tips flushed red like the finest cherries, inviting one to taste.

"You said... you would teach me 'true Dual Cultivation'." Su Mei raised her head, her eyes hazy, her small, clove-like tongue gently licking her red lips, while her nine tails wrapped around Lin Chen's body as if they had a life of their own. "Now... can the lesson begin?"

Lin Chen laughed loudly, his large hand giving a fierce tug, pulling the soft, boneless, and shockingly hot body directly beneath him.

The Physique of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was truly the most top-tier enjoyment in all the heavens and myriad worlds.

The touch of each tail seemed to connect to a different sense: the first brought extreme numbing pleasure, the second was like a tide of warmth, and the third was a tremor as if the Divine Soul were being electrocuted...

On this wild and decadent night, Lin Chen not only obtained unprecedented sensory satisfaction, but also, under the dual influence of the System and the Celestial Fox's primordial yin, awakened a top-tier mental control skill—the Celestial Fox Illusory Realm.

It was not until the next morning.

When the morning light spilled onto Su Mei's pretty face, which appeared even more enchanting from extreme satisfaction, with even her hair strands exuding a sense of laziness, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Lin Chen! You get out here!"

Nangong Yue's voice, full of the aura of an older sister but also carrying a clear scent of gunpowder, exploded outside the pavilion.

As the controller of the Nangong Chamber of Commerce, she had arrived with a large caravan and death squads the moment she received the intelligence to receive the "spoils of war."

But as soon as she entered the door, she smelled the lingering ambiguous atmosphere in the air.

Lin Chen pushed the door open and stepped out, looking refreshed.

Following on his left was the meek-as-a-cat, utterly charming Su Mei, and on his right was the righteous-looking Liu Ruyan, who, however, dared not meet Lin Chen's gaze.

Nangong Yue looked at this combination, her long, slender jade legs trembling with anger.

She pointed at Lin Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with grievance and rage: "You, Lin Chen! I went to great lengths to help you clean up and transport assets, and you—I told you to wipe out the sect, and you're here 'stocking up' on goods?!"

"A fox spirit, a former Fairy—are you trying to hold a harem beauty pageant?"

Lin Chen gave a wicked smile, stepped in front of this tsundere Young Miss, and, disregarding everyone's gaze, pulled Nangong Yue's full waist into his embrace, planting a firm kiss on those red lips that could drive countless people mad.

"What's the rush? I'll take you home now."

Lin Chen looked toward the distant horizon, which was the direction of the Azure Thunder Sword Sect.

Now, his cultivation had reached the Peak of Dao Integration, he held the Nangong conglomerate and the Palace of Ultimate Bliss intelligence network in his hands, and he even had Liu Ruyan as an inside agent in the Righteous Path.

The sky of this Eastern Profound Domain was about to change completely.
