Yinshan Record

Chapter 354 The Questioning Reveals Clues and Spinning Points
At first, Miao Niangzi only felt as if she were lying comfortably in hot water, with a warm current flowing from the depths of her senses. Her mind was momentarily dazed, and she felt as if she could let go of everything in this pleasure.

However, this pleasure ended just as she was repeatedly feeling the impact of the tide, and waves of pain from the depths of her body and mind seemed to have seeped into her blood like snake venom.

Falling from heaven to the abyss is but a hair's breadth.

She arched her back in pain, and the snake-like patterns on her back seemed to come alive.

Su Che reached out and gently stroked Miao Niangzi's neck downwards.

"what……"

Miao Niangzi groaned, turning her head to look at Su Che's cold palm, struggling uncontrollably. The pain that spread from her bone marrow was a terror she had never experienced before in her life.

"It must hurt a lot, but as long as you behave, everything will be alright."

A warm current rose from the depths of her heart, and Miao Niangzi returned to the comforting embrace of the ocean.

Her entire being, all her senses, were immersed in the experience, feeling the waves of beauty washing over her.

Su Che was wary of the guide.

The Moon Serpent Shadow Seal uses magical power to influence the mind and body of the recipient. With a single thought, it can undergo endless changes. The Black Emperor lineage uses this to control and command ghosts and spirits.

If Young Master Su is willing, Lady Miao can be subjected to tortures such as being fried in oil or cut into a thousand pieces at any time.

However, Su Che had only tried it once and no longer wanted to continue.

Pain is indeed a powerful force, but even the strongest pain must retreat in the face of pleasure.

Rather than letting Miao Niangzi fear the pain I can bring, it's better to let her crave the bliss I can bestow.

Su Che carefully adjusted his technique, connecting his mind with Miao Niangzi through the image of the Moon Serpent, constantly stimulating her ghostly body and giving her the joy of being reborn as a human.

Not bad.

The beautiful woman before me is a ghost.

Not only her, but apart from that unlucky scholar named Xuan Gui, Su Che didn't see any other living people in this Flower Moon Pavilion.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King must have his reasons for insisting on staying here.

Su Che slowly stopped, took a towel from the table beside him, dipped it in the hot water from the copper basin, and gently wiped his hands.

The Flower Moon Pavilion before us was not created by illusion, but was actually built brick by brick. However, it was run and managed by ghosts.

If it were any illegal business of selling essence, people would take advantage of any stall set up by the roadside; why bother creating this mess here?

Su Che felt that there must be something going on here.

"Ah, Master Liu..."

Miao Niangzi's face was flushed. She slumped on the table like a rag doll, her eyes gazing longingly at Su Che.

"I……"

Her red lips parted and closed, conveying meaning even without being explicitly stated.

Su Che put the handkerchief aside, pulled out a round stool, and reached out to touch her dark, cloud-like temples.

"I'm not a good person."

"Mmm." Miao Niangzi bit her lower lip, feeling dizzy, but the feeling just now was so good that she wished she could stay in it forever.

"My wife is no good either."

Su Che flicked her face lightly with his finger.

"Speak up, say whatever you know."

"I wonder what Master Liu wants to know?"

Miao Niangzi looked up at Su Che's profile, her heart filled with anticipation. Su Che looked down at her, silently activating the Moon Serpent Shadow Seal.

Miao Niangzi immediately let out a soft cry, and that stimulating feeling returned. She writhed incessantly as if she were a snake burrowing in the ground.

No, that's not enough. I need more, I need even more.

"Who is your contact?"

Su Che didn't keep her waiting any longer and increased the power of the curse seal.

"Ah, this servant... I am acting on the orders of Commander Sikong, who is..."

"So you all escaped from the realm of Yin and Yang?"

Looking at Miao Niangzi's dazed eyes, Su Che thought to himself that this would not do. If this continued, he was afraid that he would burn her soul. Besides, in Miao Niangzi's current state, she could ask questions, but her replies were so mumbled and incoherent that they were not clear to anyone.

"In the realm of Yin and Yang, this servant obeys the orders of the Ghost Commander Sikong..."

As expected, she was from the Yin-Yang realm. Su Che glanced at Miao Niangzi; this female ghost was quite beautiful.

"Why aren't you following Sikong Tu on his business in the south? What are you doing here?"

Su Che stretched his hand down, and Miao Niangzi could no longer contain herself, immediately pouring out everything on her mind.

"The Ghost Commander told us to set up a post here, one side for support and the other for surveillance. Many things from the Great River Alliance need to pass through here to go south."

The Great River Alliance—are they involved in this?

Su Che gently tapped Miao Niangzi's smooth labia.

Indeed, the Great River Alliance is a rising force that has only emerged in the last ten years or so, and it is said in the martial arts world that the Great River Alliance is backed by the Jade Yang Mountain.

It now appears that the rise of the Great River Alliance does indeed have a background, but it is probably not Yuyang Mountain, but Bailu Cave.

White Deer Cave, Great River Alliance, Sikong Tu—these elements form a clear thread.

I wonder if there's any trace of the White Deer Cave behind the shattered Yin-Yang Realm.

He claimed he would eliminate all heroes in the world and prevent people from wandering, but now it seems he still had his own agenda.

They are truly a group of masters of deception and fraud.

Thinking of this, Su Che continued to ask.

"What are you all doing here, providing support?"

In this situation, Lady Miao is speaking her mind.

"The plague in the south was released by the Ghost Commander using a secret method to create chaos. The Great River Alliance will collect spirit talismans to supply the south so that the Ghost Commander can win over the people, and also..."

"What else?"

"When Xuanshan was breached, many demons were killed, but some demon kings still escaped. The Great River Alliance managed to gather some of them, and they want to invite those demon kings to go south to help them."

Miao Niangzi's few words made Su Che think a few more things.

There were countless demons, big and small, lurking in Xuan Mountain back then. It was only thanks to Feng Xingbu and Wu Yundu, top-notch elites of the Great Liang, that most of them were defeated. But even so, the evil was not completely eradicated.

Li Yizhen's two thousand men were good at bullying ordinary people, but against Sikong Tu and his ghost soldiers, they were easy prey.

The Great River Alliance still wants to gather these demons. What exactly are Sikong Tu and the White Deer Cave up to?
Do they really want to change the dynasty?
Upon realizing this, the many seemingly unrelated clues immediately came together.

The shattering of the Yin-Yang boundary and the disaster that befell Cizhou are undeniable, but it also confirms the Liang Dynasty's immoral and abusive crimes against its people.

Back then, when they colluded with forces in Jiankang City to deal with me, on the surface it was to eliminate the Six Harmonies Azure Dragon and protect the Great Liang Dynasty, but from another perspective, wasn't this also a scheme to sow discord between the Su family of Duling and the Great Liang court?

You should know that his great-uncle was a genuine fourth-rank martial arts master, a figure as imposing as a pillar supporting the sea and a pillar of white jade.
