Simultaneous Transmigration: The Re-merging of 99 Selves

Chapter 179 Contacting the Underworld Queen

After hearing Bai Qing'er's offer to sacrifice herself, Zhao Yu completely dismissed her words.

With her looks, there is probably no man in the world who could remain completely unmoved by her, but Zhao Yu knew Bai Qing'er's background very well.

Unlike Wanwan, who cultivates the Heavenly Demon Technique, Bai Qing'er, as her junior sister, cultivates the Maiden Technique.

Before mastering the Heavenly Demon Technique, one cannot lose one's virginity. However, the Maiden Technique emphasizes having desires but no emotions. As long as one does not have intercourse with the man one loves, this technique will not affect the progress of martial arts. In fact, one can even increase one's power through intercourse.

Therefore, Bai Qing'er was sent out by Zhu Yuyan to carry out the mission early on.

In the original story, she infiltrated the city as the concubine of Qian Duguan, the lord of Xiangyang. Now, for some reason, she has become Zhao Yu's personal maid.

It is clear that the Yin Kui Sect is betting everything in its quest to rise to power amidst the chaos of the world.

But Zhao Yu, who was well aware of this, was of course not fooled.

"No need." Zhao Yu pushed Bai Qing'er away, his tone cold. "I haven't lived enough of the Yin Kui Sect's women yet, I dare not get involved. Otherwise, who knows if I might die in their arms one day."

Bai Qing'er's face flushed red and then turned pale, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

After all, she was a novice. Although she had practiced her skills in seducing men to an extraordinary degree, she hadn't put them into practice much.

As soon as she tried to use it, Zhao Yu firmly rejected it, and Bai Qing'er lost face.

At this moment, Zhao Yu slowly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of amusement: "Actually, resolving this matter is quite simple."

"You said that if I were to spread the word that Pei Ju is Shi Zhixuan's secret, it was you, Bai Qing'er, who told me."

Tell me, did the Evil King believe my wild guesses as an unknown nobody, or did he believe the Yin Kui Sect's disciple, a fellow member of the Demonic Sect, who revealed his identity?

Bai Qing'er's face turned deathly pale instantly.

As a fellow member of the Demonic Sect, she knew Shi Zhixuan's methods better than anyone else.

The assassination techniques of Butian Pavilion are impossible to guard against. If Shi Zhixuan really holds a grudge against her, even with Zhu Yuyan protecting her, she will surely die.

The internal struggles within the Demonic Sect are inherently brutal. If Shi Zhixuan wanted to kill a disciple of the Yin Kui Sect, Zhu Yuyan might not necessarily fight to the death with the Evil King for her sake.

Moreover, it would be a simple matter for Shi Zhixuan to kill her; no one could stop him even if they wanted to.

Fear gripped her instantly, and Bai Qing'er's voice trembled: "You...you can't do this!"

"Why can't I?" Zhao Yu said calmly. "You caused me trouble first, so you should pay the price."

Bai Qing'er's expression shifted rapidly, and after a long silence, she gritted her teeth and asked, "What do you want?"

"It's very simple."

Zhao Yu made his request: "Send a message to Zhu Yuyan, asking her to come to Gaoyou. Tell her that I, the Grand Steward, wish to meet with Empress Yin to discuss matters of great importance. The Sui Dynasty is about to perish; doesn't Empress Yin want to consider the future of the Yin Kui faction?"

Bai Qing'er suddenly looked up: "You want to ask my master for help?"

"Is that not possible?" Zhao Yu countered. "Shi Zhixuan is our common enemy. With my help, we'll have a better chance of dealing with him. As for matters of state, since the Yin Kui Sect sent you to infiltrate my territory, I think Empress Zhu wouldn't refuse to see me."

After learning Bai Qing'er's identity, Zhao Yu was moved.

Of course, this attraction wasn't based on the expectation that Zhu Yuyan would help him deal with Shi Zhixuan; that was simply unrealistic.

The feud between the Empress and the Evil King has lasted for decades, and neither can do anything about the other. Even with Zhao Yu's intervention, he still can't believe that Zhu Yuyan, who once had feelings for Shi Zhixuan, is the same person.

People from the Demonic Sect are always unpredictable, and Zhao Yu couldn't guarantee that Shi Zhixuan wouldn't join forces with Zhu Yuyan to deal with him.

What he truly desired was the immense demonic power behind the Yin Kui Sect.

Conquering the world is never just about having a strong army.

Both Buddhism and Taoism had long been loyal to the Tang Dynasty and sided with Li Shimin; he couldn't win them over.

Needless to say, Zhao Yu had absolutely no assets to attract the attention of the other major clans.

Only the Demonic Sect, which is incompatible with powerful clans and righteous sects, is a force he can win over.

As the most powerful branch among the six demonic sects, the Yin Kui Sect could provide tremendous assistance if it could be put to use, whether in intelligence gathering, assassination, or infiltration.

If Zhao Yu wants to contend for the world, this assistance is indispensable.

Bai Qing'er frowned and said, "Master's whereabouts are elusive, and she's rarely in one place. By the time the news reaches her and she decides whether to come, it will take at least three or four months. In these months, there will be assassination attempts by Shi Zhixuan—"

"You don't need to worry about that," Zhao Yu interrupted her. "I have my own way of dealing with Shi Zhixuan. You just need to write the letter."

Bai Qing'er looked at his confident expression, and although she had doubts, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

With Shi Zhixuan's threat looming over her head, she had no choice.

Bai Qing'er could only nod, walk to the desk, pick up a brush, grind ink, and begin writing a secret letter to Zhu Yuyan.

Zhao Yu stood by the window, gazing at the deepening twilight outside, his eyes flickering.

Three or four months.

enough.

He needed to deal with Shi Zhixuan before Zhu Yuyan arrived.

When the Queen of Yin arrives, what you will see is a powerful ally who has firmly established himself and controls Huainan, not a stray dog ​​being hunted down by the Evil King.

Only when you are strong enough can you have leverage in negotiations.

Shi Zhi Xuan —

This matter should be thoroughly resolved.

On the other side, Bai Qing'er picked up her pen and wrote down the situation in Huainan, Zhao Yu's request, and Shi Zhixuan's unusual behavior in just a few words.

After writing, she blew on the ink to dry it, turned around, and handed it to Zhao Yu: "Steward, please take a look. Is there anything inappropriate?"

Zhao Yu took it and glanced at it. The wording was appropriate and the tact was excellent. He was indeed a master of intelligence.

"It's alright. Do you want me to send someone to deliver it for you?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qing'er covered her mouth and giggled, a hint of smugness in her eyes: "The steward underestimates our Yin Kui Sect. This is such a small matter, why bother the steward's manpower?"

She walked to the window, put her fingertips to her lips, and whistled.

A moment later, the sound of flapping wings came from outside the window, and a pure white pigeon flew in and landed steadily on her fingertips.

Bai Qing'er's fingers flew, firmly tying the secret letter to the pigeon's leg. She then gently rubbed the pigeon's head and whispered softly:

T

"Go on, sweetie."

The carrier pigeon cooed twice, flapped its wings, flew through the window, and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

Zhao Yu stood to the side with his arms crossed, and sneered, "So that's how the news about Shi Zhixuan got out, isn't it?"

Bai Qing'er's smile froze for a moment, then she put on a charming smile again, slowly walked up to Zhao Yu, gently ran her fingertips across his chest, and looked up at him with her eyes wide open.

Her eyes were clear and captivating, with a swirling quality that seemed to draw one's soul in.

"Please don't be angry, Master Steward." Her voice was so soft it could melt water. "I know I was wrong. If you're still angry, Master Steward, I'll let you do whatever you want with me, okay?"

As she spoke, her allure subtly spread; an ordinary man would lose his composure after just one glance at Bai Qing'er.

Bai Qing'er secretly rejoiced, thinking, "No matter how upright a hero you are, you'll still fall into my hands."
