The Destiny Villain Starting from Battle Through the Heavens

It's not fair to blame the maids for being stupid; it's mainly because Azi's position in Lingjiu Palace is too special.

Azi was skilled at flattery, and since Tianshan Tonglao always thought she was Wuyazi's closed-door disciple, she naturally doted on her.

Even the four maids, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, believed that the position of the next Palace Master of Lingjiu Palace belonged to A Zi.

Therefore, no one believed that Tianshan Tonglao was killed by Azi, and they preferred to believe that she died together with Li Qiushui.

Seeing this, Nalan Sheng, who was hiding in the shadows, had a hint of mockery in his eyes, and then quietly left Tianshan.

……

The night was as still as water, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

In an unnamed valley hundreds of miles away from Shaoshi Mountain, a bonfire was burning, and seven figures were sitting around it.

Besides the five women led by Wang Yuyan, there were also two shadowy ninjas dressed in ninja outfits.

Two shadowy ninjas were seen preparing dinner for Wang Yuyan and the others, each holding a roasted chicken and a roasted rabbit respectively.

"We should arrive at Shaoshi Mountain tomorrow, but why hasn't Brother Sheng come to meet us yet?"

While gently stroking the Lightning Sable's head, Zhong Ling couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan and the others exchanged glances and couldn't help but sigh.

As the saying goes: the only way to a woman's heart is through... well, you know!

Although Wang Yuyan and the others hadn't spent much time with Nalan Sheng, they had already been completely won over by him.

In addition, Wang Yuyan and the others were at the age where they had tasted the sweetness of life and wished they could practice the multiplication technique with Nalan Sheng every day. So they felt uncomfortable after only a few days apart.

"Coo coo—"

Just as the women were sighing and lamenting, a strange bird call suddenly came from high in the sky, somewhat similar to the call of an owl.

Wang Yuyan and the others subconsciously looked up and saw a huge, strange bird figure appear in the moonlight.

It was a strange bird with a wingspan of over ten feet, covered in brown feathers, wearing a mask on its face, and with a human-shaped beak.

Before the surprise on Wang Yuyan and the others could fade, the strange bird swooped down and landed on an open space not far from them.

When the strange bird landed, Wang Yuyan and the others were pleasantly surprised to find that Nalan Sheng, dressed in a black robe, was sitting cross-legged on the back of the strange bird.

"untie!"

Nalan Sheng let out a low shout, and the [Nue] he had summoned with ten shadow spells instantly turned into a shadow and disappeared.

When Wang Yuyan and the others saw this, they also showed expressions of sudden realization.

Because Nalan Sheng once told Wang Yuyan and the others that the shadow ninja was a Dao soldier he summoned with magic, the strange bird from earlier was obviously also some kind of Dao soldier.

"Brother Saint!"

Upon seeing Nalan Sheng return, Zhong Ling couldn't help but cheer and rushed towards him with open arms.

Nalan Sheng smiled and put his arm around Zhong Ling's slender waist, comforting her for a while. Then he used the Wood Release: Four Pillars Technique to summon a two-story wooden house.

Looking at the exquisitely designed two-story wooden house, Wang Yuyan and the others couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

After all, the wooden house that Nalan Sheng summoned was much more comfortable to live in than a tent.

"Ladies, it's getting late, let's get some rest!"

After accompanying Wang Yuyan and the others to eat roast chicken and roast rabbit, Nalan Sheng led them into the wooden house to eat roast sausages.

Perhaps because absence makes the heart grow fonder, Wang Yuyan and the others were particularly proactive and cooperated with Nalan Sheng to unlock several difficult poses.

Several hours passed before the women, having eaten and drunk their fill, embraced each other and fell asleep with satisfied smiles.

Seeing this, Nalan Sheng, still full of energy, shook his head helplessly, then quietly left the wooden house and summoned [Nue] again.

"Let's go to Shaolin Temple!"

At Nalan Sheng's command, the [Ye] flapped its wings and soared into the sky, carrying him towards Shaoshi Mountain.

Soon, the [Nue] carried Nalan Sheng to the vicinity of Shaolin Temple, and under the cover of night, he silently sneaked into Shaolin Temple.

Although there were many monks patrolling the Shaolin Temple, they were not capable of discovering Nalan Sheng's whereabouts.

Nalan Sheng wandered around the Shaolin Temple for a short while before stopping in front of a courtyard.

Under the moonlight, the characters on the plaque of the courtyard were clearly visible, boldly proclaiming the three large characters "Bodhi Courtyard".

The Bodhi Temple was deserted at this time. The entire main hall was empty, with only three Buddha statues placed side by side.

Nalan Sheng glanced at the three Buddha statues, then focused his gaze on the screen in front of them.

On the screen was a huge bronze mirror, polished to a gleaming shine, which clearly reflected Nalan Sheng's image.

The bronze mirror is also engraved with four lines of Buddhist verse: "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should you contemplate them."

After staring at the four lines of scripture for a while, Nalan Sheng walked slowly to the bronze mirror and revealed the four characters "一梦如是" (A Dream Like This).

"Click click click..."

With the sound of a mechanism turning, the bronze mirror in front of Nalan Sheng slowly rose, revealing a small hole about the size of a bowl.

Nalan Sheng reached into the small hole and groped around for a short while before taking out a package containing the Shaolin Temple's ultimate martial art—the Yi Jin Jing!

To be honest, the Yi Jin Jing didn't have much use for Nalan Sheng; it was more of a useless skill.

Because Nalan Sheng cultivates battle qi, he cannot directly cultivate internal energy techniques such as the Yi Jin Jing or the Bei Ming Divine Art.

Unless the system shop refreshes and happens to have the corresponding skill card available, converting the Yi Jin Jing into a cultivation technique from the Dou Qi Continent, Nalan Sheng will not be able to cultivate the Dou Qi version of the Yi Jin Jing.

However, since Nalan Shengdu has already arrived at Shaolin Temple and knows the location of the Yi Jin Jing, it would be unreasonable for him not to take it along.

After taking the Yi Jin Jing into his receptacle, Nalan Sheng reset the words on the bronze mirror and left the Bodhi Temple without anyone noticing.

At the same time, Abbot Xuanci, who was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. Then, somewhat uneasy, he picked up the wooden fish and began to chant the Rebirth Mantra.

"Hehehe..."

Abbot Xuanci had just recited the Rebirth Mantra twice when a burst of mocking laughter came from outside the door.

Under Abbot Xuanci's somewhat wary gaze, Nalan Sheng, dressed in a black robe, pushed open the door and walked in with a cold smile.

Amitabha Buddha~

Abbot Xuanci clasped his hands together and said, "May I ask how this benefactor is addressed? And what brings you here so late at night?"
