With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Mo Wuchen has been escorted back by the sect's experts. He never expected that he would be ambushed by the demons just because he wanted to go down the mountain for a stroll, and it was still within the territory of the Tianji Sect.

If he were to travel any further, he would definitely be accompanied by a skilled bodyguard. Given his abilities and status, the sect would have provided him with formidable protection.

How could the demons be so rampant?
Is something big about to happen over there?

Not only Mo Wuchen, but all the cultivators who knew about this matter also guessed in the same way.

Not long after, Chu Qingxuan and the sect's experts gathered together to discuss Mo Wuchen's ambush by the demons. Mo Wuchen, as the person involved, was naturally among them, and he needed to recount the events of that time.

"I couldn't see his face clearly, just a dark shadow. But he didn't expect my defensive magic treasure to be so powerful. He attacked right away, but the force was reflected back five times. This demon must have been seriously injured. Unfortunately, he had too many tricks up his sleeve. My cultivation wasn't high enough to catch up. By the time the others arrived, the demon had already disappeared," Mo Wuchen said, still quite calm.

"Sect Master, we've already checked. There are indeed remnants of demonic energy at the scene, confirming it's demonic. Moreover, according to Peak Master Mo, we can't think of anyone else who would use this method to launch a sneak attack."

The demons have disappeared. Chu Qingxuan had no choice but to have the sect strengthen its vigilance and arrange for a demon-slaying team to search the sect's territory.

"Elder Mo, you should probably take someone with you when you travel in the future. The demons are appearing in the cultivation world more and more frequently these days. I wonder if they have any plans over there. It's better to be on guard," Chu Qingxuan said.

Mo Wuchen nodded in complete agreement.

Because of this incident, he was unable to go to the market.

He suffered some losses from today's sneak attack; his defensive magic items were damaged and need repair.

Back at Refining Fire Peak, he checked his defensive magic items and looked regretful. As expected, the replacement materials were still insufficient. If he had added Cloud Star Stones, even if he couldn't capture the demons today, at least the defensive magic items wouldn't have suffered such great damage.

That demon's cultivation level was not low.

If it were any other Nascent Soul cultivator, even if they didn't die, they would probably be seriously injured. Fortunately, it was him who was ambushed.

Demons are known for their cruel and ruthless methods. When they encounter cultivators, they kill and devour them if they can. To expect them to merely ambush people without harming them is simply wishful thinking.

When Lin Ya came out of her residence, she was stunned to hear everyone talking about Mo Wuchen being ambushed. After inquiring, she found out what had happened.

Unlike the panic and worry of others, she instantly thought of another side of Wen Nanfeng—Yin Yu.

This guy said before that he would teach Mo Wuchen a lesson. Could it be that the other party did this?
This guy is very capable, but ambushing Mo Wuchen is no small matter either. Disguising himself as a demon makes it less likely to arouse suspicion, which is understandable.

Thinking of this, Lin Ya couldn't sit still any longer and hurried to Jianfeng to find Wen Nanfeng.

As soon as she reached the sword's edge, she remembered what Yin Yu had once said: if you want to see someone, just call them by their name.

She looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, turned into a secluded spot and whispered Yin Yu's name.

"Senior Brother Yin Yu, are you there?"

After calling out once, she paused, and just as she was about to call out again, Yin Yu's voice rang in her mind.

"I'm at my residence. Is Junior Sister Lin missing me?"

Lin Ya rushed to Wen Nanfeng's residence. Hearing Yin Yu's voice, she felt something was wrong; he seemed very weak.

Upon seeing the person, Wen Nanfeng's face showed no signs of distress; it was quite rosy.

Meeting those eyes, she was certain that Yin Yu was now in control of her body.

"Senior Brother Yin Yu, Mo Wuchen was ambushed. Could it have been you? Didn't I tell you not to take such risks? It's not a big deal, but if you do this and get caught, you're finished!" Lin Ya said anxiously. "It's not worth paying such a high price just to vent my anger. I heard the attacker was injured. Are you alright?"

She examined Yin Yu's body and couldn't see any damage whatsoever. A thought suddenly struck her: how could Yin Yu be completely unharmed?
But his voice sounded really weak. What happened?

This guy has a lot of secrets, and he's even more impressive than she imagined.

It's quite good to have someone like this at her beck and call; she must hold on tight to him.

Yin Yu grabbed Lin Ya's hand and smiled, "I originally wanted to teach Mo Wuchen a lesson, but I didn't expect this guy to be so cunning. He was actually wearing a powerful defensive magic item that reflected damage five times. I was caught off guard and fell for it."

“I already told you it’s not necessary. If something happens to you like this, the sect will definitely not let you off the hook,” Lin Ya said.

Yin Yu said, "He upset you, and I'm not too happy either. It's a pity I couldn't teach him a lesson."

"Senior Brother Yin Yu, it's good that you're alright. Don't do such foolish things again. And won't you get caught?" Lin Ya asked worriedly.

Yin Yu shook his head: "I impersonated a demon, so they won't suspect me. Besides, I didn't go there with this body, so they won't be able to find any clues."

Lin Ya was shocked. So, Yin Yu could leave this body and act independently?
"It's stuffy to stay inside the body all the time, but I have a way to temporarily remove it without any problems. Don't worry, it'll be fine after a while."

Lin Ya was finally relieved.

Just as Lin Ya was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed, and a familiar pain swept through her body. If she hadn't held back quickly, she probably would have spat blood onto Yin Yu's face.

"Junior Sister Lin, what's wrong with you??" Seeing that Lin Ya was not right, Yin Yu was puzzled and quickly helped her up. Then he saw her open her mouth to say something, but her mouth was full of blood.

Immediately afterward, Lin Ya's breathing became unstable, and her cultivation level began to decline.

She heard the sound of her golden core shattering once again, and in her anxiety, she almost cursed Yun Zhen for what he was doing. Her cultivation was solely dependent on Yun Zhen; there was absolutely no other reason than something else happening there.

[System, what happened to Yunzhen?] Lin Ya was furious inside.

[Host, it's possible that her failed attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, coupled with her forced attempt, caused her cultivation level to drop. Currently, it's down to the early Golden Core stage.] The system paused strangely for a moment before speaking, [Perhaps due to her three previous defeats at the host's hands, she has developed inner demons.]

What? It's fallen so much again?

Lin Ya didn't know what to say for a moment. Who could she blame?

She was somewhat annoyed. If she had known that Yunzhen only had this much tolerance, she wouldn't have been so arrogant.

Even if she regretted it, she could only watch helplessly as her cultivation level continued to drop to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

……

"Mission accomplished!" Azhen opened her eyes, checked her cultivation level, and was very satisfied.

997 onlookers: ...

Failure to break through to the Nascent Soul stage caused my cultivation level to drop back to the early Golden Core stage. Is this the end of the mission?

The host has accomplished his mission, but why is it a little different from what he understood?

Thinking this to himself, and seeing that Azhen was about to get up and leave, 997 still reminded him: [Host, make your face a little paler, otherwise it won't look realistic.]

Azhen: [Of course I won't forget that.]

Go check on Lin Ya; I wonder how much her cultivation level has dropped. (End of Chapter)
