On top of an unnamed mountain Peak, the moonlight poured down like snowmelt flowing over the summit.

"What a huge haul!"

The joy in Yan Chu's eyes could not be concealed.

This trip to Red Sleeve Beckon tonight—the headquarters was full of experts. Although many assassins were still out on missions, he had wiped out the entire upper echelon.

Now, only the Red Ancestor remained, a commander with no troops.

If he wanted to deal with him, he would have to do it himself. When that time came, Yan Chu would give him a big surprise!

"Upgrade Hun Tian Four Absolutes to Perfection!"

Whoosh!!

Countless cultivation experiences surged into Yan Chu's mind like a tide.

With his current cultivation of having opened the Spiritual Divine Treasury, absorbing this experience was easy.

Soon, he had fully mastered the Four Absolutes.

He had a feeling that any single move could destroy an entire large city.

If the four powers were combined, a radius of nearly a hundred miles would be turned into a barren wasteland.

This already far exceeded the strength of a Celestial who had opened a single Divine Treasury.

Even those who had opened two Divine Treasuries probably could not compare to him.

This was just using a single Spiritual Divine Treasury. Once he opened the Physical Body Divine Treasury and the Qi Sea Divine Treasury, to what extent would the power of this martial art reach in his hands?

Yan Chu was looking forward to it.

"Add all remaining experience to the Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art!"

Boom! Crack!

It felt as if a barrier had been broken; Yan Chu's Primordial Spirit drifted to an infinitely high place. All the scenes of the past appeared before his eyes. Whether in his previous life or this one, he seemed to be able to freely control his own Reincarnation.

Now, even if his Physical Body disintegrated, he could use his Primordial Spirit to find a suitable body to reincarnate into and start over from scratch.

Swish!

The next moment, his consciousness returned.

Opening his eyes, they seemed to contain the vicissitudes of ten thousand lifetimes, people coming and going, filled with indifference and ruthlessness, like a god high above.

But soon, his gaze changed. The divinity faded, humanity reclaimed the high ground, and he turned back into that Yan Chu who was determined to carry forward the Cao Wei spirit.

【 Cultivation Technique: Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art (Mastering Reincarnation 1869391 / 3000000) 】

"This Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art is a bit sinister!"

Yan Chu couldn't help but sigh.

By continuously reincarnating himself, clarifying his mind, and reflecting on his true self, he could increase his Mental Energy and eventually reach Shattering Vajra.

If one were slightly careless during this process, one might fall into an endless cycle of Reincarnation and be unable to extricate oneself, or one's humanity might be replaced by the divinity within the Reincarnation, becoming no longer oneself.

But well...

Yan Chu's cultivation Realm was upgraded directly by the System, so naturally, he had no such worries.

"Hehe, who among you can compare to me?"

A rich smile appeared on the corner of Yan Chu's mouth.

Even if Phagpa himself came to practice this technique, he wouldn't be able to reach his level!

This is the System! This is the protagonist!

I am the protagonist!!!

At Red Leaf Villa, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, Yan Chu returned to the villa.

The highest pavilion in the villa had upturned eaves and carved beams and painted pillars.

At the window of the pavilion, a tall and slender woman stood gracefully, wearing a moon-white ru skirt. Her posture was as upright as a pine, and her face was incomparably beautiful.

"You've finally returned!"

Seeing Yan Chu return, Luo Jin let out a sigh of relief.

Yan Chu was truly just as the rumors said, not able to stay still for a moment.

On the very first day he arrived in the capital, he had done another major thing. Everywhere he went seemed to be accompanied by blood, wind, and romantic affairs.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, what are you doing here?"

Yan Chu turned a blind eye to Luo Jin's expression and asked with a normal expression.

Luo Jin: "Nothing much. The Empress Dowager asked me to advise you to behave yourself for the next few days. The waters in Central Province are very deep."

Yan Chu brushed it off with a smile.

However, he didn't have anything else to do, so he would just wait peacefully for the departure.

As for the Han Family and the Fourth Prince's residence, Yan Chu was not in a rush to make a move for the time being.

If he solved them now, the entire Great Jin Imperial Court would likely not let it go, and even if Empress Dowager Empress Dowager Yuwen Feng protected him, she wouldn't be able to stop it.

Today's harvest was already big enough; the entire Red Sleeve Beckon had allowed his strength to take a big step forward.

"The Empress Dowager has prepared a gift for you. Go to your room and see for yourself!"

Seeing that Yan Chu looked indifferent, Luo Jin said this in a flat tone, then flew away from the pavilion, disappearing into the night sky like a Fairy under the moon.

"A gift?"

Yan Chu raised an eyebrow, swept his Divine Sense across his room, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Inside Yan Chu's room at Red Leaf Villa.

A woman wearing a bright red palace dress sat by the bed. Her face was extremely beautiful, her appearance gorgeous, and her temperament was elegant, tinged with a sense of being high above others.

But at this moment, her slender fingers were twisted together, and her beautiful eyes revealed clear signs of unease.

Creak...

Just then, the door was opened from the outside, and a tall and handsome young man appeared in the room.

The woman by the bed stood up with a start, looking at Yan Chu nervously.

"Who are you?"

Yan Chu frowned as he looked at this woman. Was this the gift the Empress Dowager had prepared for him?

What did she take him for?

"Are you the Blade Demon Yan Chu?"

The woman looked at Yan Chu's young and handsome face, still finding it hard to believe. The legendary Blade Demon was indeed so young.

That naturally radiating vigorous vitality, the arrogance revealed in his eyes, and the undisguised desire in his gaze when looking at her—none of this could be fake.

"That's right! I am Yan Chu. Who are you?"

The woman was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "My name is Peng Qi!"

"Peng Qi? The wife of the First Uprising Gang leader?"

"Great Hero Yan has heard of me?" Peng Qi was somewhat surprised.

Yan Chu chuckled, "The First Uprising Gang leader, Huangfu Song, died at my hands. At the time, your First Uprising Gang's Grand Elder, Wan Liyuan, was also present, so naturally, I know your name."

"But how did you end up here?"

Asking when he already knew! Peng Qi cursed inwardly, but still explained: "I received orders from the Empress Dowager to come to Red Leaf Villa to meet Great Hero Yan."

Understood! This order was probably mandatory.

As one of the four great gangs in the world, the First Uprising Gang's upper echelon had no power to resist the Empress Dowager. She might have used some means to make Peng Qi come to this room.

Otherwise, how could a high-and-mighty gang leader's wife appear here?

The Empress Dowager likely knew what Wan Liyuan had said that day in Heavenly Sword Gorge and thought he was actually interested in this gang leader's wife.

Regarding this, Yan Chu could only say one thing: She was a good judge of character!

Yan Chu looked forward. Peng Qi's charming eyes seemed to contain water, and she happened to lock eyes with Yan Chu, a hint of shame, anger, and unwillingness appearing in her eyes.

So Yan Chu asked: "If Gang Leader Huangfu had a spirit in the underworld and knew you were here, would he die with his eyes open?"

"You—"

Already ashamed and indignant, Peng Qi became even more so upon hearing Yan Chu's words.

Her cheeks, which were already white with a rosy tint, looked like ripe red apples, and even her crystal-clear earlobes turned bright red.

After a moment, Peng Qi calmed her emotions and snorted: "Our relationship broke down long ago!"

Yan Chu chuckled and slowly walked toward Peng Qi. The faint fragrance from the beautiful woman wafted into his nose, and his lust began to rise.

"Then, Madam, you should already know that Gang Leader Huangfu has long since become your good sister, right?"

"What good sister?" Peng Qi didn't understand Yan Chu's words at first. After her thoughts turned, she realized what he meant, and her face, just having lost its blush, was once again covered in a rosy glow.

"Ah! You—"

Before Peng Qi could think much more, Yan Chu pulled with his hand, tearing off the gold-embroidered shawl from her shoulder, revealing half of a rounded, delicate fragrant shoulder.

"I wonder, Madam, would you be willing to share a bed with me tonight?"

Yan Chu was not some Liuxia Hui who could sit with a woman on his lap without being moved.

In any case, the whole world knew what kind of person he was; otherwise, the Empress Dowager wouldn't have arranged such a charming and alluring gang leader's wife to be in his room.

To pretend to refuse at a time like this—would that still be him?

The hot breath from the young man's nose and mouth sprayed onto Peng Qi's neck, causing her already extremely nervous heart to beat even more wildly.

"Wait a moment!" Peng Qi pressed down on Yan Chu's large hand, which was wandering over her delicate body, and asked: "Are... are you really a Celestial who has opened the Divine Treasury?"

Yan Chu's mouth curled up: "You'll know for yourself if you try it in a moment!"

As he spoke, amidst Peng Qi's shy exclamation, Yan Chu wrapped his arms around the beautiful woman's rounded legs, lifted her up, and walked straight toward the bed.

"Yan... Yan Chu, I... I haven't had this in a long time, take it slow!"

Yan Chu curled his lips and thought: "With me, there is never any such thing as taking it slow; it must be full throttle. You are a beautiful woman who has been married for many years and a Supreme Grandmaster; if I don't go all out, wouldn't I be wasting the Empress Dowager's good intentions?"

He said aloud: "Alright! Rest assured, Madam!"

"But I want to hear you call me Gang Leader!"

"Gang... Gang Leader!"

Two days and two nights passed without a word.

Originally, according to Yan Chu's intention, it was to be four days and four nights without a word, and when the time came, he would leave directly with the wedding procession.

But on the third morning, the steward of Red Leaf Villa disturbed his mood from the outside.

The bed was still shaking incessantly.

Fortunately, this was the Yuwen Family's villa, and even the material of the bed was precious wood from hundreds of years ago, which was hard in texture; otherwise, if it were any other bed, it would have been shaken to pieces long ago.

"Yan... Yan Chu, someone is calling you outside!" Seeing that Yan Chu was turning a deaf ear, Peng Qi hurriedly reminded him, her voice hoarse, her plain hands pushing against Yan Chu's chest.

This bastard!

He said he would be gentler, but he didn't cherish her at all, making her directly experience things she had never experienced in the past few decades.

Now, her whole body was sore and numb, without a shred of strength, yet he still didn't have any intention of slowing down.

Yan Chu was annoyed by the disturbance and shouted at the steward outside: "What matter can't be discussed another day?"

This person really had no eye for the situation. Didn't he hear Peng Qi's cries over the past two days? Didn't he know what they were doing?

"Great Hero Yan, the person waiting outside to visit is the Fourth Prince. He said he brought a gift for you, and you will definitely like it!"

Yan Chu said impatiently: "Go tell him I have no interest in seeing him right now. Tell him to get lost!"

Hearing this, the steward outside the villa was in a bit of a dilemma.

He naturally didn't want to disturb Yan Chu's good time, but the person waiting outside was the Fourth Prince himself, and he, a mere steward of the villa, didn't dare to offend the other party.

Since Yan Chu said so, the steward could only sigh and leave first.

"Wait!" Just then, Yan Chu called out to him, his voice coming from inside the room. "Did he say what the gift he wants to give is?"

"This..." The steward said in a dilemma: "I don't know, he only said you would definitely be interested!"

Inside the room, Yan Chu pondered for a moment, then got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and got out of bed, letting Peng Qi let out a long sigh of relief.

If it continued, she was really afraid she wouldn't be able to hold on.

Although she was a Supreme Grandmaster, and her physique and cultivation were at the Peak of Mortals, Yan Chu was a Celestial, and that intensity was superhuman.

Having not had it for decades, and suddenly being subjected to this intensity, she simply couldn't hold on for a moment. In a short time, she had thrown away her armor and laid down her weapons, only able to helplessly endure the wind and rain.

Yan Chu's large hand stroked Peng Qi's milk-smooth, white skin and smiled: "Madam, then you rest here for a while, I'll be right back!"

Peng Qi really wanted to say don't come back.

But she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth to speak, and didn't even want to move her fingers again. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she actually fell into a deep sleep directly.

Yan Chu smiled slightly, put on his outer garment, and walked out full of spring breeze.

"Great Hero Yan!" The steward outside the room bowed slightly.

He sighed in his heart: "The rumors in Jianghu say that the Blade Demon Yan Chu has profound cultivation, powerful strength, and astonishing battle records. I didn't expect his skills in that aspect to be no less inferior."

The crying in the room hadn't stopped for these past two days.

Although the steward didn't know who the woman in the room was, he could tell from the sounds that her cultivation must be profound.

But a woman with such profound cultivation couldn't hold on in front of Great Hero Yan.

Admirable!

"Let's go!" Yan Chu glanced at the old steward and walked toward the villa's main hall first.

He was now staying in Red Leaf Villa, which the Empress Dowager had arranged personally. Very few people in the capital should know, and the servants and stewards in this villa were all Yuwen Family people.

And that the Fourth Prince Li Che could find out he was staying here and come to find him in person was very likely with the Empress Dowager's tacit approval.

This was the reason Yan Chu changed his mind and agreed to see him.

He wanted to see what gift the Fourth Prince could give him!

Arriving at the main hall, there were three people in the hall observing the entire building.

Two of them were the Fourth Prince Li Che and the Thunder Sect Master Duan Yunkou.

The other person was a woman wearing a black veil hat, her head slightly lowered so her face could not be seen, her shoulders were thin, and her figure was as soft as if she had no bones.

Li Che looked up at the Auspicious Beasts and rare birds above the main hall. The entire hall was exceptionally luxurious; all the decorations he saw were rare treasures that were hard to find in the world, and even the carvings on the pillars were the work of great masters, capturing both the spirit and form.
