Reborn through possession, she sneaks into a woman's boudoir at night to collect medical fees!

Here, withered bones piled up like mountains, and Yin Qi soared into the sky; it must have been an Ancient Battlefield.

Deep within the corpses, an ancient corpse, nourished by Yin Qi for countless years, slowly sat up.

The ancient corpse was covered in a bluish-black stratum corneum, hard as iron. Its ten fingers were sharp as knives, its fangs jutted out, and within its empty eye sockets, two clumps of faint green Soul Fire flickered, filled with ignorance and confusion.

“This is... a Corpse Ghoul!”

Xiong Kaishan was first startled, then overcome with boundless ecstasy!

He could clearly sense that this Corpse Ghoul had just gained sentience, like a blank slate, making it a perfect vessel for Possession!

The Corpse Ghoul is a rare variant born from the accumulation of Heaven and Earth Resentment and Malevolent Yin Qi. Its Physical Body is far stronger than Yao Beasts of the same rank, surpassing even his original bear body!

Most importantly, the Corpse Ghoul has immense growth potential. With enough Opportunity, it even has hope of stepping into the legendary Deity Transformation Realm!

“Hahahaha! Heaven does not forsake me! Heaven does not forsake Xiong Kaishan!”

He let out a maniacal cackle, hesitated no longer, and transformed into a streak of bloody light, drilling straight into the forehead of the still-confused Corpse Ghoul!

The Corpse Ghoul's massive body suddenly stiffened, the Soul Fire in its eye sockets flickered violently, and it let out a painful, inhuman roar.

A moment later, the roaring stopped.

The Corpse Ghoul slowly straightened its body.

In its empty eye sockets, the faint green Soul Fire gradually condensed. The ignorance faded, replaced by a human-like malice and ferocity.

“Lin Yuan... Ye Youmeng... wait for me.”

“I'll be back soon to extract your Divine Souls and burn them day and night with Soul Fire, leaving you unable to live or die!”

“Jie jie jie jie...” The chilling laughter echoed in the silent Mass Grave, indescribably eerie. The next day, Black Stone City became bustling like never before.

Under the personal arrangement of Old Ancestor Xuan Yin, a large number of Five Poisons Sect Cultivators passed through the City Protecting Grand Array in an orderly fashion and entered the city.

These Cultivators all had strange auras, carrying various venomous insects and fierce beasts, adding a savage, 'keep away' aura to the already gloomy atmosphere of Black Stone City.

But whether they were Disciples of the Yin Corpse Sect or members of the Five Poisons Sect, their faces were all alight with poorly concealed excitement and anticipation.

The Alliance between the two Sects was now a done deal!

Tingfeng Courtyard, Lin Yuan's bedroom.

Morning light filtered through the window lattice, casting dappled shadows.

Gu Zheng's fingertips were gentle as she smoothed the last crease from his lapel. She still carried the faint fragrance of last night's joy, but now she had shed her seductive manner, her phoenix eyes holding a hint of seriousness.

“You really destroyed that old bastard Xiong Kaishan's dharma body?”

“Mhm.” Lin Yuan nodded, flipped his wrist, and a simple, profound black shield appeared in his palm, which he handed over. “This is for you.”

Spiritual Qi flowed across the shield, emitting a heavy and solid aura. It was clearly a defensive Magic Treasure of extremely high grade.

Gu Zheng's eyes instantly lit up. The quality of this shield was excellent, far surpassing her old item.

Lin Yuan's Cultivation was still at Foundation Establishment, so a Magic Treasure of this caliber could not fully exert its power in his hands. For a long time to come, he would need Gu Zheng and Su Meiniang to contribute and help him accumulate attribute points. It wasn't his style to make the ox plow the field without giving it grass to eat.

Gu Zheng didn't stand on ceremony. She reached out and took it, and as her fingertips touched the cool surface of the shield, she felt the immense power contained within.

She quickly pecked Lin Yuan on the cheek.

“Then I won't be polite.”

A faint smile curled her lips, carrying a sense of exclusive Possession.

“If I were to refuse, this treasure might end up in the hands of some other vixen.”

Gu Zheng's tone shifted, becoming serious.

“If you encounter an opponent like Xiong Kaishan again, remember to call me. Don't try to handle it alone.”

Lin Yuan felt a warmth in his heart and nodded, saying, “Go invite Elder Wei over. Today, it's his turn in the Yin Corpse Sect.”

Gu Zheng nodded and turned to leave.

An hour later.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi above Black Stone City surged violently again, and a huge Spiritual Qi vortex formed above Tingfeng Courtyard, announcing the birth of yet another new Nascent Soul.

In another quiet room, Ye Youmeng, who was meditating to stabilize her Cultivation, suddenly opened her eyes.

Deep within those seductive eyes that could topple nations, there was struggle and confusion.

This familiar celestial phenomenon involuntarily reminded her of the scene when she made her Breakthrough: the figure who pulled her back from the brink of Qi Deviation, that domineering yet gentle treatment... Lin Yuan's face slowly began to overlap with the long-deceased figure in white robes, sealed deep within her memory, while the latter's outline gradually blurred.

“Sigh...”

She let out an almost inaudible sigh, unconsciously clenching the hem of her skirt.

“Everything is for the Five Poisons Sect. Once the Sect has a few more Nascent Soul Cultivators, my Five Poisons Sect will be able to...”

Ye Youmeng repeated this to herself inwardly, as if only this could convince her to accept the strange feelings that were quietly taking root.

After Lin Yuan finished protecting Elder Wei, he stretched, his joints popping with crisp sounds. His gaze shifted toward Ye Youmeng's room.

A satisfied, scheming smile curved his lips.

He stepped forward.

Dong. Dong dong.

He knocked on the door rhythmically.

Silence reigned in the room for a moment before Ye Youmeng's cool voice, laced with caution, responded.

“What is it?”

“Bringing you something good.” Lin Yuan's voice was gentle, carrying a magnetism that was hard to refuse.

“Zhiya—”

The door opened a crack, revealing Ye Youmeng standing gracefully behind it in a gorgeous Ten Thousand Poisons Rainbow Dress. Her captivating eyes scrutinized him warily, as if she were guarding against a weasel with ill intentions.

Lin Yuan ignored her gaze, slipped past her, and walked straight in, closing the door behind him.

This overly familiar action caused Ye Youmeng's brow to furrow slightly.

Lin Yuan didn't waste words and directly handed over a copied Jade Slip.

Ye Youmeng instinctively took it, and her Divine Sense subconsciously probed inside.

The next instant, her breathing hitched, her full chest rose and fell rapidly, and her beautiful eyes burst forth with incredible brilliance.

“This is... the Hundred Beasts Mountain's 'True Art of Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Control'!”

She had knowledge of the core Legacies of the various Sects in the Eastern Region, but she never dreamed that such a Sect-Suppressing Treasure would appear before her in this manner!

Although the Five Poisons Sect specialized in controlling venomous insects, most of their methods were treacherous and sinister, lacking a proper structure, and were far less systematic and powerful in Cultivation and control than those of the Hundred Beasts Mountain.

If the core concepts of this True Art could be integrated into the Five Poisons Sect's Legacy, taking its essence to compensate for their own shortcomings, the overall strength of the Five Poisons Sect could be elevated by at least one level!

This was an irresistible temptation for her and for the entire Five Poisons Sect.

She looked up at Lin Yuan's face, which appeared even more handsome in the dim light. In an instant, her heart, which had just calmed down, began pounding wildly again, beyond her control.

“This should be greatly beneficial to your Five Poisons Sect.” Lin Yuan's tone was calm, as if he had only handed over a trivial trinket.

“You...” Ye Youmeng tightly gripped the Jade Slip in her hand, her knuckles turning white, and asked with a dry voice, “What do you want?”

Lin Yuan smiled, a meaningful expression.

“I said before that my unique Secret Technique is highly effective for healing injuries and detoxification, but the consultation fee is steep.”

Ye Youmeng looked at him, suddenly recalling something, and teased, “The last time... the Little Bird Heals People?”

“Fine, fine, fine...” Lin Yuan was amused by her words. Instead of retreating, he advanced, stretching out his long arm to wrap around her soft, slender waist, pulling her warm and voluptuous body into his embrace, and whispering in her ear.

“It seems Senior Ye misunderstands my medical skills. Since that's the case, tonight I'll let you see what a truly 'Great Brother' looks like!”

The warm breath brushed her earlobe. Ye Youmeng felt her body go soft, and her mind instantly went blank.

“I'm not... I don't like him... I'm only doing this for the Five Poisons Sect...”

Only this last, feeble thought remained in her heart before she was completely swallowed by his dominating presence.
