112: The methods used by the future Heavenly Emperor Yin Kui Saintess to betray her grandfather

"Could it be Colorful Scale?"

"Did that Thief Cao kill Colorful Scale?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's heart could no longer calm down. "What should I do? That Thief Cao is immensely powerful; even a Saint Realm expert from the Yinkui Demonic Sect couldn't last a single exchange against him... and now he's mixed up with people from the Qingyun Immortal Sect..."

"No, for this matter, I must ask the Yinkui Sect to intervene."

*Knock, knock, knock.*

Just then, a knocking sound rang out.

"Brother Yan, are you there?"

Outside the door, the crisp voice of the Yinkui Holy Maiden sounded.

"Yes~" Xiao Yan quickly got up and opened the door.

He saw the Yinkui Holy Maiden, dressed in a cool pink outfit, walking in, bringing a faint fragrance with her. Following closely behind the Yinkui Holy Maiden was the Crimson Flame, wearing a flashy, fiery red robe.

"Saintess, Senior, you have come late at night. May I ask what advice you have?"

"Xiao Yan, the son of the Xiao Family Patriarch in Hedong Titan City, sharing the same Bloodline as the Xiao royal family. The Mother-Child Yin and Yang Gu that my Master planted on that Crown Prince, you were the one who removed it, right?" The Yinkui Holy Maiden walked straight into the room and sat down on a chair without being asked.

"Ah, this..." Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically.

This had completely backfired.

How did this enchantress know?

It's over!

The Yinkui Holy Maiden smiled disdainfully: "However, I am very curious. How did you manage to remove the Mother-Child Yin and Yang Gu that my Master personally planted? With your level of Cultivation, it doesn't seem possible."

"It, it was my Master!" In his desperation, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and decided to bluff:

"With my Master making a move, a mere Mother-Child Yin and Yang Gu can be shattered with a flick of his finger!"

A hint of understanding flashed in the beautiful eyes of the Yinkui Holy Maiden.

*As expected,* she thought.

"It seems I underestimated Brother Xiao. You also have a powerful background and backing." The Yinkui Holy Maiden smiled alluringly, stood up, and used her slender white finger to lightly tap Xiao Yan's chest. "Are you related to the Qingyun Immortal Sect?"

"Saintess, you misunderstand." Xiao Yan forced himself to remain calm. "My Master has no relation to Qingyun Mountain. Not only that, but they even harbor enmity."

"Oh, is that so?"

The Yinkui Holy Maiden smiled mockingly, stepping closer and closer, forcing Xiao Yan to retreat repeatedly.

"I heard that your grandfather is the chief disciple of qingyun, one of the Seven Beauties of Qingyun..."

"Your Highness Saintess knows even this..." Xiao Yan looked troubled.

This enchantress looked seductive and delicate, but she was not an easy character to deal with.

The Yinkui Holy Maiden opened her red lips: "I will give you a chance to prove your allegiance."

"Right now, the Seven Beauties of Qingyun are in Shengjing City. I want you to lure your grandfather out."

"Lure my grandfather out?" Xiao Yan's face turned pale.

The Yinkui Holy Maiden sneered: "That's right. Individually, the Cultivation of the Seven Beauties of Qingyun is nothing special, but if they join forces to form the Seven Stars Enchanted Sword Array, they can suppress an ordinary Divine Emperor Realm expert. So... you understand!"

"You, you all..."

Xiao Yan hesitated. That was his grandfather! Although Xiao Yan had only met him twice and couldn't claim much closeness, Bloodline was thicker than water.

"You can choose not to agree, but..." The Yinkui Holy Maiden said, glancing at the Scarlet Flame Demon Emperor.

*Hmph.*

The Scarlet Flame Demon Emperor let out a cold snort, struck like lightning, and slammed a flaming palm heavily onto Xiao Yan's chest.

A ball of faint blue flame immediately poured into Xiao Yan's chest and abdomen.

*Ugh~ Ah!*

Xiao Yan clutched his stomach, screaming and falling to the ground, his body turning completely crimson.

Crimson Flame sneered: "Little Brat, this is a wisp of my Origin True Fire. Even a Divine Emperor Realm expert shouldn't dream of dissolving it. If you don't comply, I will detonate this flame right now and leave you without a complete corpse!"

"Now, it is time for you to choose!"

"I, I agree!" Xiao Yan said, gritting his teeth.

"Hmph, I thought you were some kind of tough bone. Trash." Crimson Flame waved his hand disdainfully, and the pain on Xiao Yan's body immediately vanished.

"Hehe~" The Yinkui Holy Maiden giggled, personally helping Xiao Yan to his feet.

"Brother Yan, don't be angry. Once this matter is settled, the Seven Beauties of Qingyun are eliminated, and the Innate Spirit Fire is recovered, I will certainly give you a great reward." She said, casting a seductive glance.

Xiao Yan instantly looked dumbfounded.

One hour later.

Xiao Changtian received the message and rushed to the meeting location.

"Xiao Yan? Why aren't you staying properly in Titan City? What are you doing running off to Great Liang... Ah, Crimson Flame..."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a flashy man in red robes sitting there with a smile.

Xiao Changtian was greatly alarmed and immediately retreated without hesitation.

Unfortunately, the moment he moved, a slender foot struck from behind, kicking heavily onto his spine.

*Whoosh~*

Crimson Flame's figure flashed.

He transformed into a faint blue streak of fire and directly entered Xiao Changtian's body.

Immediately, Xiao Changtian's body and face rapidly twisted.

"Ugh~ Ah, you, Prodigy..."

"Is this possession, or something else?" The Yinkui Holy Maiden's beautiful eyes widened.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry..." Xiao Yan closed his eyes, full of unbearable regret, and clenched his fists tightly.

"Crimson Flame, do you really think a mere wisp of True Fire can control my life and death? I Cultivate the Flame Art... Just wait, I will melt you sooner or later~"

A moment later, Xiao Changtian's screams stopped.

Xiao Changtian, dead!

"Ancient Bloodline, Innate Fire Spirit? Haha, this Physical Body is barely adequate. Oh, right, there's also the Seven Stars Treasure Sword..." Crimson Flame patted his own cheek, feeling slightly unaccustomed. "It's a little ugly, but I'll use it for now~"

The Yinkui Holy Maiden smiled sweetly: "Congratulations, Senior, for successfully infiltrating the Qingyun Immortal Sect!"

"Infiltrate the Qingyun Immortal Sect?" Crimson Flame chuckled.

"You're overthinking it. My method can, at most, fool a few Qingyun juniors, but it can't fool... Wait, this is the True Fire of the Sun..."

Crimson Flame felt an abnormality in the body and was immediately astonished.

Someone was actually using the same method as him—controlling a person's life and death using their Origin Fire.

"So it was you... Cao Meng, it was you who stole my Origin fire spirit pearl!"

The familiar aura immediately allowed the Demon Emperor to recognize the owner of the True Fire of the Sun.

"Good, very good~"

The Demon Emperor's body erupted with demonic flames, and in moments, he refined and dissolved the wisp of Origin True Fire left behind by Cao Meng.

After all, he was a spirit formed from Southern Bright Lihuo, possessing the foundation of the Undying Emperor Realm. Refining this small amount of Origin Fire was completely effortless.

"Senior, should we head straight for the Imperial Palace now, or go to the Qingyun Villa?" The Yinkui Holy Maiden asked with a charming smile.

"Go to the Qingyun Villa, you all go!"

The Demon Emperor gritted his teeth: "This group of Little Brat from the Righteous Path are too deceitful. This time, I will wipe them all out!"

... After a full day and night, Cao Meng finally left the Spirit Gourd Space, satisfied, accompanied by the little snake Colorful Scale and the Chi Ling Demon Empress, who had undergone a complete transformation and whose aura had greatly increased.

After a day of Cultivating, aided by the Chi Ling Demon Empress and the fire spirit pearl, Cao Meng's Cultivation finally stepped into the Saint Realm.

Moreover, both his Physical Body and spiritual power entered the Saint Realm simultaneously.

Furthermore, under the guidance of the Chi Ling Demon Empress's blending Concept, Cao Meng's comprehension of the Dao of the Sword and the Origin of Fire also saw significant improvement.

Especially the Dao of the Sword, which finally achieved a Breakthrough past its limitations, reaching the Perfection stage of the Nineteenth Realm of the Sword Dao...
