The Villain's Counterattack

"Humans are not plants or trees and are heartless. In addition to affection and friendship, there is also the temptation of fame, wealth and desire, which almost made me sink into it." Yang Xuyan narrated his psychological journey one by one, and Shi Qingxuan suddenly realized it at this time.

"Since Brother Bufan has broken through his mental barriers and jumped out of the cage, what are your plans for the future? Will you ignore worldly affairs and take Yue'er and me to live freely and spend the rest of your life?" Shi Qingxuan looked at Yang Xuyan carefully, feeling a little worried.

She doesn't want her lover to be irresponsible, but she also wants to be the most important person in his mind.

Yang Xuyan laughed heartily and said, "My way is the way of compassion. Regardless of whether this world is real or fake, I will uphold my own beliefs and not be deceived, while at the same time not forgetting my original heart."

What is your original intention?

Save Reimu and Lingyue, but since this world has found Reimu and Lingyue, it should treat them better, otherwise it would be putting the cart before the horse. Of course, it cannot be just about love, improving strength and expanding the benefits of the Book of Dreams is the fundamental thing. Only in this way can we truly save Reimu and Lingyue, rather than lingering in the dream world and briefly relying on the identities of others to get close to each other.

"Since we've already done it, let's not have any regrets. It's just that some of the previous methods need to be modified." Yang Xuyan suddenly shook his head slightly and said, "As the saying goes, every mistake has its merits. Fortunately, everything is fine and there's no deviation. There's no need for excessive corrections and adjustments."

Shi Qingxuan suddenly pushed Yang Xuyan away and said seriously, "I almost forgot about the important matter. Brother Bufan, I was just about to ask you, don't you want to end the chaos as soon as possible? Otherwise, with the current strength of Liaodong, the masters around Brother Bufan, and the strength of Luoyang and Lingnan, pacifying the world would be a piece of cake, and there would be no need for all those little tricks."

Yang Xuyan said seriously, "If I tell you that I really don't want the world to be pacified so quickly, will Meng'er be disappointed in me?"

Shi Qingxuan shook her head firmly and said, "No, but I want to know the reason."

Yang Xuyan took Shi Qingxuan's delicate hand, looked out the door, and said in a deep voice, "This world is very strange. Only in troubled times can true masters be forged. In prosperous times, true heroes cannot be produced. Perhaps it is true that heroes emerge in troubled times. If there were no chaos in the world, the world might only have three great masters: Martial Master Bi Xuan, Sword Master Fu Cailin, and Wanderer Ning Daoqi. Well, perhaps we should also count Master Liaochen hidden in Cihang Jingzhai."

"And when the world was in chaos, first the Evil King Shi Zhixuan emerged, then the Medicine King Miaoying Zhenren, who had accumulated a lot of experience, was defeated and then rebuilt. Then, Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan followed the Evil King and became the Grand Master of the Seventeenth Level of the Heavenly Demonic Art. Then, Emperor Wu Yang Guang left the court and entered the martial arts world."

"When the Heshi Bi came into being, not only did the potential of Kou, Xu and Ba rise to the level of Grandmasters, but it also created the world's number one craftsman, Lu Miaozi, and the great Confucian Wang Tong, two other Grandmasters. Although it was a bit tricky, a Grandmaster is still a Grandmaster."

"Breaking through Cihang Jingzhai and my mother-in-law Bi Xiuxin's breakthrough to Grandmaster was an experiment, and the results proved it was indeed feasible. That's why my youngest brother Chang'an took the initiative to spread the Dharma. The purpose of this move is very simple, to actively create conflict and turmoil. The more turbulent it is, the easier it is to break it down and then rebuild it, concentrating the luck to create a Grandmaster."

Shi Qingxuan said softly, "Brother Bufan should already be a Supreme Grandmaster, right? Why are you so obsessed with creating a Grandmaster? With your current strength, you are more than enough to suppress all who disobey you."

Yang Xuyan nodded gently, then shook his head and said, "Meng'er, what do you think of your father-in-law's Immortal Seal?"

"My father is a man of immense talent. The Immortal Seal is a top-level martial art that reaches the level of a Grandmaster. Even with my current strength and level, I cannot create such a unique martial art even if I give it my all." Shi Qingxuan had no confidence in creating any achievement.

"Wealth, or value, is created by humans. When we absorb this wealth and value, it will become nourishment for the Book of Dreams. I cultivate Grandmasters so they can create more advanced martial arts to become nourishment for the Book of Dreams, and also nourishment for our progress." Yang Xuyan said solemnly, "Meng'er should have noticed too. The worlds we experience are each more advanced than the last. If we can't accumulate more in this world, we may fall behind in the next one."

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten!" Yang Xuyan has a deep understanding of this.

"It's just that the world is in turmoil, and the common people are suffering. Brother Bufan..." Shi Qingxuan felt sorry for him.

Yang Xuyan shook his head slightly and said, "That's true in ordinary terms, but with us, things are different. The world is torn apart, but almost 90% of the villages in the Central Plains are under the control of the dragnet. With us here, there will be no major chaos. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed without mercy!"

"The ones who are really suffering are those ruthless landlords and the Buddhist temples that harbor filth. Are Meng'er and Mr. Li Fan really just legends?" Yang Xuyan laughed loudly, causing Shi Qingxuan to roll her eyes.

"When will my husband end this chaotic world and bring peace to the world?" Shi Qingxuan gathered her emotions and composed herself. Yang Xuyan's eyes suddenly shone with a fierce glint. "It will definitely be after Yue'er (Kuan'an), Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling have achieved Grandmaster status."

"Why?"

"Luck, destiny, and, War God Atlas!" Yang Xuyan pointed to the sky and said, "The War God Temple and Jingyan Palace are elusive. Only the Sons of Luck can find them. And in this world, the Sons of Luck are Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Only when the Sons of Luck grow up can the full potential of Luck be realized."

"Heroes are made by the times. If the times don't allow it, there's no point in becoming a hero. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling aren't suited to steady practice and dedicated cultivation. Only life-and-death struggles can unleash their potential. If times are peaceful and prosperous, it's unlikely they'll achieve Grandmaster status in thirty to fifty years."

"But we don't have that much time to wait for them to grow slowly." Yang Xuyan said softly, "There are three women with great luck. You are one of them. The other two, Kankan and Shi Feixuan, check and balance each other, forming the yin and yang of each other. I choose to suppress and sacrifice Shi Feixuan to help Kankan succeed. By then, you and Kou Xu will all be promoted to Grandmasters. Add to that the Evil King and Queen, Emperor Yang Guang, Duke of Chu Yang Xuangan, Medicine King Miaoying Zhenren, Heavenly Sword Song Que, Craftsman Lu Miaozi, Great Confucian Wang Tong, Nun Liaofan of Cihang Jingzhai, Lady Mother-in-law, Wanderer Ning Daoqi, Martial Master Bi Xuan, and Sword Master Fu Cailin. With more than ten Grandmasters searching with all their might, the probability of Jingyan Palace appearing will greatly increase."

Shi Qingxuan said softly, "I'm afraid your husband's plan isn't that simple. With the many masters imprisoned in the Liaodong Valley, the many generals under his command, and the talented players lurking in the major forces, there are probably more than 10 future Grandmasters."

"Hahahaha, the one who understands me is Meng'er." Yang Xuyan took a deep breath and said, "Meng'er, I have come to my senses, but you and Yue'er seem to be too immersed in the drama, which is not a good thing. Your nature should not be so calm, and Yue'er's nature should not be so cunning."

"This might not be a bad thing. As long as we understand our true intentions and know what we are doing, it can be a form of training. We don't want to be left behind by Brother Bufan."

Yang Xuyan held her in his arms and said softly, "In my heart, you will always be the best and the strongest."

As they were both possessors of ninth-level talent in their previous lives, he really didn't dare to say that he could defeat Ling Meng Ling Yue.
