51: Master Xiaoyaozi will arrive in February!

"Your Highness, the disappearance of the Li family and the other three great aristocratic families overnight has now completely spread throughout the Imperial City."

"In addition, the news of forces like Hundred Snake Island and Thousand Leaf Pavilion being wiped out has also reached the Imperial City from other prefectures."

"It's likely that those in the Empress Faction have already received the news as well."

Luo Feng replied with a serious expression.

Chu Yun's expression remained calm upon hearing this; everything was within his expectations.

"Alright."

"Next, first tell everyone in the manor to stay inside as much as possible, and wait for news from Xiner."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Luo Feng then withdrew.

For Chu Yun, there was nothing more he needed to do now.

He only needed to wait for the Eastern Palace to make its move.

Moreover, tomorrow was the ten-day agreement between Xiao Yan and Wang Hancuo.

At that time, Chu Yun naturally wouldn't be polite.

He absolutely intended to capture all those people in one fell swoop!

[Ding! Background editing cooldown complete.]

The seven-day background editing cooldown period was over. Chu Yun, seeing no one around, returned to his room, closed the door, and checked his editing points.

"Check editing points."

[Editing Points: 58000.]

The more than fifty thousand editing points were the total Chu Yun gained from wiping out those three aristocratic families last night, combined with the forces Venerable Wan Lei exterminated.

"More than fifty thousand... this is going to be incredibly satisfying!"

He immediately checked the background identities.

[Celestial Fate Empress Meng Ruxue's Unresolved Regret from a Past Life: 8000 Editing Points.]

[Carefree Master's Only Disciple: 10000 Editing Points.]

[Rakshasa Gate Sect Leader: 18000 Editing Points.]

[Mitian Saint King's Brother: 20000 Editing Points.]

He could now edit all these backgrounds.

The annoying thing was that he could only choose one this time.

The rest would have to wait until seven days later.

After much thought, Chu Yun finally settled on the most cost-effective background.

Carefree Master's Only Disciple!

Carefree Master, according to the System's introduction, was a Supreme!

And not just an ordinary Supreme, but an invincible Supreme!!

If he had this Revered Master backing him, what more scheming would he need?

A simple, "Revered Master, help me," and a single Sword Qi from him would be enough to take on the entire Empress Faction!

"System, I choose to edit this: Carefree Master's Disciple."

[Friendly reminder: Revered Master, Carefree Master is currently in an ancient Secret Realm within the Yuan Realm, extremely far from the Great Xia Dynasty. Even if Revered Master edits this identity, it would take at least two months for him to reach the Great Xia Dynasty.]

"What?!"

"Two months!!"

"Then I'll change it!"

"Mitian Saint King's Brother!"

[Revered Master, Mitian Saint King is in the Pure Land, even further away. It would take at least half a year for him to arrive.]

Chu Yun's forehead was covered in black lines: "Are you messing with me?"

"They're all so far from the Great Xia Dynasty. Are you telling me to edit the Misty Rain Tower background?"

[Revered Master, Carefree Master's Only Disciple, this background is actually the most cost-effective.]

[After Revered Master finishes editing, in two months, everything in the Great Xia Dynasty will be at your command.]

[As for this two-month time difference, Revered Master can exchange for some blind boxes; perhaps there might be some unexpected gains.]

[Moreover, the seven-day editing cooldown period will pass quickly.]

After the System's detailed explanation, Chu Yun felt there was indeed some truth to it.

If he chose Carefree Master now, at worst he would just wait two months.

Once he arrived, with a Supreme backing him, what Imperial Family elders or Empress's National Preceptors would dare to stand against him? They would all have to kneel and sing his praises!

"Alright, edit it then." Chu Yun finally decided to edit the background of Carefree Master's Only Disciple.

[Background is being edited, please wait...]

[Karma change complete, identity reset successful!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Revered Master, background editing successful!!]

Immediately, a new memory appeared in Chu Yun's mind.

In Qingzhou, in his youth, he met a cloud-robed Sword Cultivator who traveled everywhere. Seeing that they were fated, the Sword Cultivator took him as his Disciple.

However, the Sword Cultivator wanted Chu Yun to temper himself in the outside world and grow independently, so he only left him a Sword Soul Jade, while he himself resumed his travels.

He told Chu Yun that when he encountered an insurmountable difficulty, he could use the Sword Soul Jade to contact him, and he would come upon seeing the message.

"This cheap Revered Master is quite cool; he even managed to get a great Sword Immortal."

"Truly extraordinary."

Chu Yun already had Carefree Master's appearance and the way he drew his sword in his mind.

Similarly, due to the reset of Karma, Carefree Master's memory would also include the memory of taking Chu Yun as a Disciple!

Chu Yun slowly took out a piece of unpolished jade from his body, shaped like a long sword.

This was precisely the Sword Soul Jade.

"Revered Master, your Disciple is now the Ninth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. Due to the struggle for imperial power, life and death are at stake. Therefore, your Disciple humbly requests Revered Master's assistance."

Chu Yun transmitted this message into the Sword Soul Jade... In a mysterious ancient Secret Realm, amidst a desolate, bloody, and dusty environment, lay the fossilized corpses of more than ten Heavenly Phase Realm Yao Kings, each a thousand zhang tall like a giant mountain, their blood dried within.

Their injuries were all caused by Sword Qi, and they were remarkably neat, each with only a single sword cut.

So many Yao Kings, comparable to Human Race Celestial Venerable Realm experts, were instantly slain by one sword!

And in the deepest part of the wasteland, within a valley.

A cloud-robed Sword Cultivator, holding a sword, unleashed a Sword Qi that cleaved a massive gap in the sky for ten thousand li, like a celestial rift.

A great Yao Supreme, hiding in the void space, had its head completely severed by his single sword. The beast's skull, the size of a mansion, fell out of the void space.

Its body remained buried within.

This great Yao Supreme, in life, had been a Yao Beast of the Supreme Realm.

Yet, it too had its life ended by this cloud-robed Sword Cultivator with a single sword.

The cloud-robed Sword Cultivator's gaze remained unchanged. Just as he was about to continue walking, a Sword Soul Jade at his waist suddenly glowed.

"Hmm?"

He picked it up and heard Chu Yun's voice and the content of his message.

"This boy... it has indeed been more than ten years since I last saw him."

"So be it."

"Chu Yun, wait for your Revered Master."

Carefree Master transmitted a message into the Sword Soul Jade, and then, he turned and began to leave towards the exit of the Secret Realm... Upon receiving Carefree Master's response, Chu Yun immediately felt a surge of confidence.

"Just two more months, and the doomsday for the Empress and those people will arrive!"

Chu Yun was overjoyed, then remembered his remaining editing points.

He had spent ten thousand, leaving forty-eight thousand.

He could use them to buy some cultivation cards or open some blind boxes.
