The Empress remarried, and I retaliated by wiping out the court.

"Ode to the Intercourse of Yin and Yang":

Before heaven and earth were separated, they were a unified whole; after yin and yang were separated, all things came into being.

Humans are endowed with the spirit of heaven and earth, and their destiny is established by the primordial energy; men possess pure yang, and women possess ultimate yin. Yang is born from yin, and yin is transformed by yang. This is the principle of the interaction between heaven and earth, and also the mechanism of the flow of the Great Dao.

Essence is the foundation of the body; Qi is the mother of the spirit.

People cultivate Qi by absorbing the essence of the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers to nourish their dantian; superior practitioners retreat into seclusion, practicing breathing exercises and guiding the Qi to refine their true essence. However, the universe is vast, and human lifespan is limited, so it is ultimately difficult to seize the power of creation.

Therefore, there are extraordinary people who reverse the art of sexual intercourse, deducing the mechanism of dragon and tiger, using the human body as a cauldron, the body as a furnace, yin and yang as fuel, and intercourse as the method of alchemy, in order to seize the original yin of others and replenish their own true yang, stealing the primordial qi before the separation of heaven and earth. This is called the "Ode to the Intercourse of Yin and Yang".

Simply put, the "Yin Yang Jiao Le Fu" is a demonic art.

Historically, none of the more than seventy people who practiced this skill died a natural death.

Some people indulge in sensual pleasures all day long, their moral character collapses, and they eventually die from depletion of their vital essence.

Some, in their quest for stronger partners for dual cultivation, resorted to trickery and plunder, ultimately leading to their annihilation by a combined force of various sects.

Some men, while having sex with women, were ambushed by them and died on their bellies.

Ye Wudao turned to the next page, where he saw several lines of small characters written in cinnabar:

"Once there was a demon lord named Liu Qianjue, who slept with three thousand women and considered himself invincible. Later, he was betrayed by these beauties, killed by all of them, and his body was torn apart by ten thousand swords... Let posterity take heed!"

Turn another page.

"There was a madman named Han Wangchuan who forcibly cultivated this method, seeking pleasure day and night, without distinguishing between relatives and strangers. After three years, his mind became disordered, and he saw that his mother was also being used as a furnace, and thus he was abandoned by the world."

Ye Wudao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Holy crap, this technique is so bizarre?"

Xie Bingyu glanced at him: "I suggest you stop practicing it. Although this evil technique can improve your aptitude and speed up your cultivation, it will erode your mind, and you will surely suffer the consequences one day!"

Ye Wudao silently put away the "Yin Yang Intercourse Ode," and said with a smile, "As a fine young man of the new century, I must adhere to the bottom line and absolutely cannot make mistakes!"

Xie Bingyu looked at him and said, "Your ability to resist temptation is quite impressive."

Ye Wudao firmly stated, "I cannot bear to see this evil skill spread and wreak havoc on the world!"

Xie Bingyu asked, "So, do you want to bury this cultivation technique or burn it?"

"No, I've decided to practice first!"

"..."

…………

The King's Palace of Zhenwang.

"Father! You must avenge me!"

Since learning that he had lost his manhood, Xiao Beichen has been depressed and has lost his appetite.

"Chen'er, don't worry. This time, I've sent two Grandmaster-level experts. Ye Wudao will be doomed once again!"

Xiao Linyuan comforted his son, his face filled with heartache.

Xiao Beichen's eyes lit up: "Father, are you really confident?"

"It's absolutely true! After today, the palace will have a new master!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beichen's eyes immediately lit up with wild joy.

"Hahahaha! Ye Wudao! You dare to steal my woman? Don't you even know what you're worth?"

His face was contorted with rage and venom.

"A useless emperor, a puppet who was put on the throne by others, dares to lay a finger on Yanran?"

"Once you're dead, I will personally watch your corpse being displayed at the Meridian Gate!"

Sima Chang, an advisor standing nearby, reminded him, "My lord, with Ye Wudao dead, the palace will surely descend into chaos. We need to plan ahead and stabilize the situation!"

"No problem!" Xiao Linyuan said confidently, "The Imperial Guards are under my control; no one can cause any trouble!"

Suddenly.

A middle-aged man with gray hair barged into the hall.

Xiao Linyuan's pupils contracted: "Bloodhand Ghost Butcher, you're injured? Did you complete the mission?"

Bloodhand Demon Slayer's face was grim: "Damn it, you actually provided false information! My Misty Rain Pavilion will remember this!"

"What's going on?" Everyone looked bewildered.

With two grandmasters taking action, dealing with Ye Wudao, an ordinary person, would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

Bloodhand Demon Slayer roared, "Mo Jingyu has sided with Ye Wudao! And besides Cao Ji, there's another Grandmaster secretly protecting Ye Wudao!"

"impossible!"

Xiao Linyuan was even more shocked: "That bastard Mo Jingyu promised to give me some face! Besides Cao Ji, what other grandmasters could there be in the entire imperial city? Are you just trying to fool me?"

Bloodhand Demon Slayer's expression was icy: "Believe it or not! That Ye Wudao is cunning and scheming. Xie Wuming is probably dead. This operation has failed. My Misty Rain Pavilion will not continue this mission. Farewell!"

Everyone stared in shock as they watched Blood Hand Demon Slayer's departing figure.

The second master of the number one manor in the world.

Grandmaster.

He's dead?

Xiao Beichen's face was filled with disbelief.

Xiao Linyuan closed his eyes, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

"How is that possible? Where did Ye Wudao find this Grandmaster-level expert?"

"How on earth did he convince that bastard Mo Jingyu? Were they already having an affair?"

Xiao Linyuan grew increasingly alarmed as he thought about it, his eyes filled with growing murderous intent.

"It's only been a few days, and he's already cut off my left and right arms. Even assassination attempts couldn't stop him. He even recruited Mo Jingyu."

"If this continues, the Prince's Palace is in grave danger!"

Xiao Linyuan realized that Ye Wudao was gaining momentum!

Ye Wudao's every step was unexpected.

It started as just a tiny spark.

But now...

The fire, fueled by the wind, and the wind intensified the fire's power, already showing signs of spreading like wildfire.

If this trend continues unchecked, the Great Yan court... may truly be in for a major upheaval.

a long time.

Xiao Linyuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Inform Yan Shichang that in seven days, launch a coup..."

…………

Li Juzheng's home, study.

The news of Ye Wudao's assassination attempt swept through the entire Jade Capital City like a gust of wind!

Li Yuchun rushed back from outside:

"Grandpa! Ye Wudao was assassinated, but survived! It was the Regent who did it!"

Li Juzheng's face was solemn, and he remained silent.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? Ye Wudao wasn't killed, isn't that a good thing?" Li Yuchun asked, puzzled.

Li Juzheng shook his head: "When the late emperor died tragically, the country was in turmoil. It was the veteran minister Changsun Yuanpei who intervened and prevented internal strife in the Great Yan, which led to the current situation."

But Ye Wudao has gone too far. Xiao Linyuan is desperate and might resort to a coup if the assassination attempt fails this time.

Li Yuchun's expression changed drastically: "How...how dare he do this?"

"There's nothing you wouldn't dare to do. Don't forget how the late emperor died."

A long silence fell over the study.

"Never mind..."

Li Juzheng said calmly, "Go to Hedong Prefecture tonight and be sure to persuade Changsun Yuanpei to come out of retirement again!"

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Watching his grandson's departing figure, Li Juzheng let out a long sigh of relief.

"Hopefully... we'll make it in time this time."
