Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 8 A plan within a plan

Yun Yi stared outside, realizing the plot was taking a different turn from his previous life. He vaguely remembered the old tailor and Zhu Qiyi attacking Song Xinci together. But this time, they came up with such a diabolical plan, actually injuring Song Xinci.

It seems that I only did some insignificant things, but I still changed the plot.

He thought carefully about what went wrong and thought that it was probably because his wife's way of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling had changed.

Because he helped with his mouth, the drunken, whoremongering and gambling man was beheaded with a sword, cleanly and neatly, which provided material for the old tailor.

You have to know that in their previous life they were all torn into pieces by the sword energy and there was no chance of them being sewn together at all.

The problem was that the sword that beheaded the four men had exposed his wife's situation. That's why the old tailor and Zhu Qiyi came up with such a vicious plan, using one person's death in exchange for the opportunity to injure Song Xinci.

Song Xinci felt a sweet sensation in her throat, and she suppressed the urge to spit out blood. She was outnumbered, and she hadn't expected Zhu Qiyi to seek revenge in this way.

It's funny, your brother coveted my body and used despicable means on me. But how can it be my fault that I killed him in the end?
The old tailor, knowing Song Xinci's cunning, decided to take advantage of her illness to kill her. He secretly cast a spell under his cloak, accompanied by bursts of ringing bells, and the next moment, the ground within a hundred feet began to shake.

The White Bone Bell, a notorious treasure of the Demon Sect's Ghost Gate, can control bones and is an expert in both offense and defense.

Song Xinci was the first to sense the murderous intent coming from under her feet. She jumped into the air and barely avoided the countless bone claws that suddenly emerged from the ground.

It was a giant hand made up of countless white bones, looking quite creepy. Yun Yi saw it and complained in his heart, thinking that only the Demon Sect could create such an ugly thing.

Anyone who is on the righteous path has an immortal temperament, so they would not bother to use such means.

The huge bony hand chased Song Xinci relentlessly, and after several maneuvers, the girl in hemp clothes suddenly turned around and crashed into the palm of the giant hand, performing a move like a suckling swallow throwing itself into the arms.

The old tailor laughed and said, "You're courting death!"

He controlled his bony hand and clenched it into a fist, wanting to crush Song Xinci to death with force.

However, strangely, the next second he became wary and rolled on the ground for no apparent reason. Then Song Xinci's figure appeared like a mirage, and he thrust his sword right where the old tailor had been.

After failing to hit the target with one strike, Song Xinci frowned slightly, sighing that it was indeed difficult to kill those in the Return to Void Realm.

The key point was that she found that her cultivation had not yet returned to its peak state and remained in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Thinking of this, she glared at Yun Yi. It was all because of this stinky man's words that caused her Supreme Forgetfulness to go wrong.

Yun Yi observed Song Xinci's actions and quickly came to a conclusion. Unlike in her previous life, his wife had only suffered minor injuries and her cultivation hadn't recovered. Perhaps she wasn't hiding her incompetence, but was truly helpless against the old tailor.

She cannot use some of her trump cards because there will be an even more thrilling battle later, which is a real life-and-death game.

"Oh no! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have bothered with my eloquence." Yun Yi also guessed that the root of the problem lay with himself, so he secretly looked at the people in the dilapidated temple, especially the smelly beggar.

If he remembered correctly, it was time for everyone in the temple to take action.

Outside the temple, the old tailor and Song Xinci started fighting, and the sound of the fighting was very intense.

The black dragon in the temple swallowed a few pills and said, "Song Xinci is getting braver and braver. Why don't you go and help?!"

The stinky beggar also put on his patchwork clothes and took out a dark blue dagger, ready to launch a sneak attack.

Xuan Jiao asked Zhuque, "What are you waiting for, little bird?"

Suzaku's eyes flickered as he said with a sweet smile, "Of course I'm waiting... until you're poisoned."

Beggar and Xuan Jiao: "What?!"

Both of them were horrified to find that their spiritual power was suddenly blocked by some force, and they had become mortals with no magic power.

Then, Suzaku made a graceful move, and the golden bell and red silk suddenly lengthened, enveloping the ruined temple on all sides. Amidst the red murderous intent, Suzaku's figure loomed and slapped the stinking beggar's heart, shattering his heart.

Xuan Jiao was quite familiar with Zhuque's tactics, and after barely drawing his sword and holding on for a few moves, he finally managed to carve out a path to the outside world. Unfortunately, just as he was about to escape from Hong Ling's embrace, he was hit by a palm in the back.

He escaped from the ruined temple, but fell to his knees after taking only two steps. He spat out two mouthfuls of blood and died.

The two people in the Spirit Transformation Realm were killed by Zhuque in the blink of an eye.

This is also thanks to the "Melting Spirit Ambergris" offered to the statue.

Zhuque patted his chest and said distressedly, "It really cost a lot of money."

Yun Yi had no cultivation and was not affected at all. He glanced at the space where the incense stick was originally inserted and found that it had burned out.

This was a conspiracy between Song Xinci and Zhuque. The so-called siege was just an appearance. It would be unknown who was the hunter and who was the prey until the end.

When the old tailor saw that all his helpers were dead and one of them had become a traitor, he became anxious and was accidentally hit by a sword.

That is to say, this old guy has been cautious all his life and did not enter the dilapidated temple just now. Otherwise, even if he was in the Return to Void Realm, he would have been severely injured after being poisoned by the Rong Lingxiang.

Zhuque knew she couldn't help outside. The Return to Void Realm was too terrifying and could easily crush her to death. So she stayed in the ruined temple and asked Yun Yi, "Did you realize there was something wrong with that incense stick a long time ago?"

Yun Yi said, "Her palm and sword attacks could make everyone mistakenly believe that she really wanted to kill me. It seemed like she was killing me, but in fact she was saving me. And you just helped me dodge those moves at the right time. It's hard not to speculate about your relationship." Zhuque said, "I am the young lady's servant, and actually Xuanjiao is also. Unfortunately..."

Yun Yi knew why she left her words unsaid. Unfortunately, one of Song Xinci's two servants was a real betrayer, and the other was fake.

Although the Demon Sect's hearts are unpredictable, there are also some who are genuine.

Yun Yi asked, "Who on earth did Song Xinci set up such a big scheme for?"

Zhuque said seriously, "The Devil Sect's Paradise Gate."

"Sounds awesome."

"One of the five major sects of the Demon Sect, the Heavenly King of Bliss has coveted the young lady for many years and wants to practice dual cultivation with her. Since the young lady is unwilling, he often takes action in secret."

"You had this thought many years ago. Song Xinci was still a child at that time, right?"

"Yes."

"Tsk, what a scumbag."

Zhuque said earnestly, "I don't know what your relationship with the young lady is, but you should help her. If she dies, we will all die."

Yun Yi said helplessly: "But I really don't have any cultivation, how can I help her?"

"I don't know, but I think you can help her."

"Women's intuition?"

"Yes, my intuition is always right."

Yun Yi asked, "What is the level of the Heavenly King of Bliss? How different is it from Song Xinci's heyday?"

Zhuque replied, "He is in the late stage of the Return to Void Realm and has been unable to achieve the Dao for decades. The young lady is different. She has only been in the Return to Void Realm for three years and has already touched the threshold of the Dao. If she succeeds in refining her mind this time, she will be able to advance to the Dao very quickly. That's why the Blissful Heavenly King can't wait."

“But Song Xinci is having a hard time beating the old tailor now.”

"It seems something went wrong with your training, young lady. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked a mere scholar like you to figure out a solution."

"Actually, I have no choice. I just think that you and I should trust Song Xinci."

Suzaku asked, "Do you trust my lady so much?"

Yun Yi said: "I believe she has a backup plan."

The two of them fell silent. After Suzaku's identity was exposed, she stopped teasing Yun Yi. She was clearly worried about whether she and her group could kill the Blissful Heavenly King. If she failed, the consequences would be disastrous.

It would be a relief to die, but being captured alive would be worse than death.

Although Yun Yi had great confidence in Song Xinci, he still thought that he should help a little to increase his chances of winning. After all, Song Xinci's injury was inextricably linked to him.

So he picked up a dagger from the ground, the same one that the stinky beggar had just offered.

Then he aimed at the right side of the stinky beggar's chest, avoiding the protection of the patchwork robe and stabbed it directly!
"What are you doing?" Zhuque asked in surprise, but then she saw the stinky beggar actually opened his eyes, and his death looked quite unwilling.

She said, "The stinky beggar is not dead?!"

Yun Yi let go of the dagger and said, "Remember to finish off the enemy after you kill them. Besides, you have been practicing for so many years, haven't you heard of people who are born with their hearts on the right side?"

Zhuque's voice was a little trembling. She couldn't imagine what a terrifying hidden chess piece he would become if the stinky beggar faked his death and hid it from everyone, and then the King of Bliss arrived.

She approached Yun Yi and carefully examined the stinky beggar, finding him completely dead. He must have used some method to conceal his breath and enter a state of suspended animation, but this effectively blocked his five senses, allowing Yun Yi to kill him without anyone noticing.

"It's really thanks to you this time." Zhuque exclaimed, and then she saw Yun Yi reaching into the patchwork clothes and actually took out a brush from it.

She had an inexplicable feeling that this man was a fellow criminal - his methods of murder and robbery were too sophisticated.

Yun Yi looked at the brush in his hand and said, "I'll help you once, so you should also help me and stop gossiping about me to Song Xinci."

Suzaku thought about it and nodded, "Okay."

At this critical moment, it is better to have less trouble than more.

Like a curious baby, she asked again, "What's the use of the pen in your hand?"

Yun Yi replied casually: "You should ask the stinky beggar."

Zhuque rolled his eyes and said, "The person is dead, why ask?"
