Chapter 6

Zhiyan's soul was in that direction, and she stared blankly at Mo Qing until he lowered his head

The breath was suddenly taken away from me, and I watched the person in front of me while suffocating. He was still dressed in a black robe, but his face was like cold frost, and his gaze was like a knife, cutting to the bone: "It’s you again." His voice was icy, "You have trespassed into forbidden grounds; do not expect me to spare you a second time."

Zhi Yan's soul was beside her, gasping and exclaiming in fright: "See, see! You still wanted me to please the fierce demon, claiming he was interested in me, when he was more likely to want to kill me! Fortunately, I didn't go!"

I hurriedly covered my neck, coughing and gasping, while in my buzzing ears, I heard his sarcastic and cold laughter laced with murderous intent: "Forced? The demonic cultivators outside?"

I know, Lu Zhaoyao...

Thus, those who had previously treated her with kindness began to speak to her coldly, and those who had once taken great care of her started to tease and even humiliate her. She wished to quietly rely on her own abilities to achieve success, but that was simply impossible

Zhiyan straightened her back and sat up properly. I also focused my mind, dispelling distractions, and with a single-minded determination, I plunged into Zhiyan's body.

After listening to Zhiyan's sobbing complaints, I have a general understanding of the ordeal she faced being bullied by others

Then what else could he have as a reason not to kill you

"Not too foolish yet." I looked up at the sky and saw that it was already midnight, so I called out to Zhi Yan, "It's about time, let's give it a try."

However, before I had the chance to feel joy for the body I had just acquired, I suddenly sensed a presence flash behind me. My brows furrowed, and just as I was about to evade, I felt a hand gripping my neck, lifting me up.

As expected, Mo Qing fell silent upon hearing this. After a long while, he finally turned his head slightly and fixed his gaze on my uninscribed stele

Hearing this, I was very angry: "I am also the sect leader! I once stood high above others! Just because I am dead, do you think I am easy to bully?"

She glanced at me again and said, "Yes."

Therefore, I mentioned a matter known only to him and me, which most effectively dispelled his doubts

His gaze was icy and his face was filled with a stern demeanor: "How did you come to know this?"

I stood up, clenched my fist, felt the strength in my palm, and suddenly my heart was filled with clarity. Finally! Turning this way and that, this body truly belongs to me!

I am so frustrated. If it weren't for the uselessness of this body belonging to Zhi Yan, I wouldn't have been reduced to this state by Mo Qing!

I will simply set up a scheme directly

I have a bit of a desire to roll up my sleeves

Mo Qing will feel sadness? He is now in a position of great power, and if he were to feel sadness, he would only sigh and say, "The world is vast, the peaks are cold with snow, and no one understands the loneliness of being the first."

I grasped his arm, desperately forcing a slight gap open, and said in a hoarse voice: "Last time it was under duress, this time I... am also under duress..."

I gritted my teeth, feeling that this one before me, just like the previous doorkeeper with the flat nose, was equally thoughtless. However, considering that she was going to provide me with her body, I decided to overlook her disrespectful words: "Your concern for Li Chenlan is entirely unnecessary. Didn't I mention before that Li Chenlan said, 'Those who trespass into forbidden areas shall be killed,' but why hasn't he killed you?"

Mo Qing was in front, making it difficult for me to speak with Zhi Yan, so I could only give her a big roll of the eyes

I waited for him to express his stance for a long time, but he only uttered three words: "Impossible." He lowered his head, as if murmuring to himself, "If she were still here, she would have come to find me first."

He spared me, and in my heart, I secretly concluded that indeed, this Mo Qing is interested in Zhi Yan's face! He is reluctant to kill her!

After Mo Qing murmured this sentence, she silently turned and left

Oh, you are provoking me

Upon hearing these words, Mo Qing suddenly fell silent for a moment

... ...

Indeed! It is indeed better to engage in such matters of occupying someone else's space at night

Just like now

"Who? Is it the notorious female demon, Lu Zhaoyao?" I glanced at Mo Qing's expression and pondered, "She, well, her complexion is pale, she has no feet, and her demeanor is fierce..." As I spoke, I noticed Mo Qing narrowing his eyes in suspicion, and I realized he was scrutinizing me. Therefore, I immediately immersed myself in my emotions and said, "Actually, she is not much different from a living person; she just hates you. She claims you took her position and caused her death, and she wants to come back to seek revenge on you."

In an instant, a warmth spread from my fingertips, and a heaviness enveloped my feet, the familiar sensation of weight in my body surged through my senses. I blinked and looked towards the tombstone, only to see Zhi Yan's spirit standing dazedly in front of the monument, having just been knocked out by me.

He did not mention how to arrange for me, so I stood in place, watching his back, while Zhiyan leaned closer to me and said in confusion: "This fierce demon... just now, his expression was so sad." She continued, "Not at all like a demon, more like a lonely child who has been abandoned..."

But when this body was being bullied, it was the weak Zhi Yan, who was even weaker than a chicken, that was in control! I could not explain, and to prevent Mo Qing from suspecting, I had to think quickly and pointed to my own grave path: "It was her, I was forced by her."

Moreover, this Mo Qing is quite amusing; why does he always come to trouble me after I have switched bodies with Zhi Yan? It truly feels like fate is destined to bring about my demise

I heard a sneer, thinking to myself that the young girl is still too naive

I was momentarily awed by your ability to devise plans. Then, I continued to stare at Mo Qing and said with a serious expression: "Yes, she asked me to burn paper for her, otherwise she would cause trouble and kill me"

I looked up at him again, only to see his gaze filled with scrutiny, staring at me lying on the ground: "Do you know whose grave this is?"

I have realized that I cannot rely on myself; that is why I have come to find you

He murmured, "Why hasn't he come yet?"

In my dreams, I ponder and weave, "She comes to me every night in my dreams, forcing me to burn paper for her"

I pondered for a moment that letting Mo Qing know my soul still exists might not be a good idea. However, what does it matter? Regarding matters of the supernatural, if I am not dead, I have no idea whether a person truly becomes a ghost after death. Such elusive matters, which are intangible to the living, would yield no conclusive findings for him.

Ah, the clown has indeed grasped my heart in this regard. My only regret in this world is that I could not take you with me in the end. If I were to be resurrected, I would certainly be the first to seek you out and then take you away.

In less than a month, a female cultivator who adhered to the righteous path of "harmony is precious" became the target of everyone's grievances due to her rare resistance. The male demon cultivators on Xiyue Peak began to take advantage of her, and today, their infringement crossed her bottom line. Finally unable to endure any longer, she rose in anger to resist, at which point, there was no one left to help her.

However, at this moment, I could not say that. I could only say: "I do not know why she only comes to find me, perhaps... it is because I bumped my head in front of her grave last time, and I have been entangled by her... She is truly frightening in my dreams, and I am also left with no choice... Master, I have indeed trespassed into forbidden grounds, and I cannot be blamed for that."

In a state of panic, Zhi Yan escaped on her sword, pursued relentlessly by the demonic cultivators, until she ran into this forbidden area, where finally no one dared to follow her.

He gazed at me in silence for a long time

to cut down the grass and eliminate the roots

The last time Mo Qing met me, he received two of my sword strikes. If we consider the strength of those two sword strikes, indeed, all the low-level demon cultivators of the Xiyue Peak are not my match

Rise up

Those who were in the Sword Tomb back then should have all been killed by the sword energy unleashed when the Wanjun Sword was drawn. Even if people have their speculations, they cannot confidently assert that I was killed by Mo Qing.

The prestigious sect truly raises some self-indulgent scoundrels

I let out a sneer: "Mo Qing is now the Lord of the Ten Thousand Slaughters Gate, a position he snatched from my hands. He has only just managed to secure his position, and if he were to find out that I have returned from the dead, what do you think he would do to me?"

Zhiyan pondered: "At that time, it was you inside my body, um, perhaps he was looking at me back then and reminiscing about the you from before"

Zhiyan's whole body trembled: "What!"

Let Mo Qing know that my soul is still present, but he has no way of finding me. In order to protect his own position, Mo Qing will certainly expend effort to search for the ghost. While he is engaged in this task, I can use Zhi Yan's body to conceal myself by his side, using the excuse of searching for "Lu Zhaoyao" who enters my dreams daily, pretending to assist him in finding "Lu Zhaoyao," while simultaneously disturbing his thoughts and getting closer to him. This will allow me to enter his life and gain his trust, turning the situation where he is in the light and I am in the dark. When he lowers his guard, I will strike him with a fatal blow!

Indeed, this can be considered a method

Mo Qing glanced at me and said: "How is she in your dreams?"

I said seriously: "Because he is attracted to your body!"

The female cultivators stood by to watch the commotion, while the male cultivators remarked that she was a little promiscuous, intensifying their attempts to take advantage of her

Mo Qing remained silent for a long while, his black eyes resembling a whirlpool, concealing all emotions, leaving me unable to fathom his thoughts

However, I quickly adjusted my emotions; now is not the time to confront Mo Qing head-on. I held my breath, reminding myself to endure humiliation and bear the burden, to seek a roundabout way to save the country, and to avoid acting impulsively

I actually know in my heart that pretending to be pitiful in front of the myriad of people is of no use... Mo Qing can be considered someone I brought along; if I were to feign pity now, it would only be effective because...

She wiped her tears and glanced at me: "Moreover, if I were to seek Li Chenlan... Li Chenlan is the sect leader, so high and mighty. Those who have stayed at Xiyue Peak for decades have never seen Li Chenlan even once. Why would I... be able to please him and make him help me"

As expected, within a few days, the demon cultivators on Xiyue Peak discovered that this "apprentice of the sect master" who had been brought in was not as formidable as they had imagined, and the relationship with the sect master was not as good as they had envisioned

"Did she enter your dreams?" Mo Qing interrupted my words, squinting his eyes, filled with scrutiny and doubt

I looked at him pitifully, as just a moment ago, Zhi Yan had been crying, leaving her eyes slightly sore. I tried hard to keep my eyes open without blinking, but before long, my fragile eyes were once again filled with tears.

Mo Qing let out a cold laugh and threw me harshly to the ground

She choked back tears as she recounted the bitter experiences of this month, and it was already close to midnight

I squatted in front of her and looked at her: "Little girl, you can rely on yourself. Many times in this world, you really can only depend on yourself, but the premise of relying on yourself is that you are strong enough. And when you are not strong enough..." I looked at her in confusion, "Can't you think a little, consider what I have told you, and try to please Li Chenlan?"

She looked at me with tears in her eyes, stunned, and asked: "Why?"

When I left before, I told her to embrace Mo Qing's thigh on her own, but this girl is a reserved one with a very high sense of self-esteem, and she did not intend to do that. She planned to rely on her own abilities to cultivate magic well within the Wanlu Sect, and once she had achieved her goals, she would seek revenge on the old man Liu Wei of the Jianxin Sect.

So beautiful and perfect
