I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

At night, the winter moon is clear and high, like a bright pearl set against the dark sky.

Xuantian Sect, Falling Star Cliff.

It is a sacred place for male and female disciples to meet in secret.

However, because the Xuan Tian Grand Ceremony was held in the dead of winter, almost no one came.

At this very moment, on a blue stone, a woman in palace attire is dancing.

She wore a light blue gauze dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the breeze, as if blending into the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, her fair skin radiated a soft glow, as delicate and smooth as mutton fat jade.

Her figure was incredibly graceful, her waist as supple as a willow, and her jade-like feet trod on the smooth bluestone. Her small, delicate feet, fair insteps, and slender toes were flawless.

Li Xiaoluo, the senior disciple of the Xuantian Sect's inner domain.

Not far away, a handsome and elegant young man sat in front of the guzheng, gently stroking the strings with his hands.

The crisp, melodious sound of the guzheng intertwines with the melodious sound of the guqin, creating a sound like heavenly music.

Li Yingyi, the senior disciple of the Xuantian Sect's inner domain.

"Senior Brother Li, what brings you to this elegant mood today?" Li Xiaoluo's face was as red as a peach blossom. She put on her outer robe, bent her instep, and carefully slipped her jade-like feet into her shoes.

She had always admired her senior brother Li.

Unfortunately, the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is indifferent. Senior Brother Li is devoted to the Dao and is naturally tranquil.

Today, Senior Brother Li invited her to Falling Star Cliff, where they sang and danced, their affection overflowing.

“Tomorrow is the Xuantian Grand Ceremony. Some things cannot remain unresolved forever,” Li Yingyi said.

Li Xiaoluo blushed shyly, thinking that her senior brother was referring to their relationship.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight," she said demurely.

"Yes."

Li Yingyi put away his guqin and said, "Junior sister, I have suddenly had an epiphany and would like to study it further."

Li Xiaoluo was taken aback. Why did it have to be at this time?

However, she still obeyed and left.

After all, the level of cultivation is the most crucial factor.

Unbeknownst to her, Li Yingyi's ethereal and lively demeanor instantly turned cold and sinister.

"Have you seen enough?" he said coldly.

An elderly man, of medium build and wearing an earth-yellow robe, came out.

A malicious smile would occasionally curl up at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother, you've got some skills. This woman is completely under your thumb."

Li Yingyi said coldly, "I've done what I promised you. Now it's your turn."

"Don't worry, I, Wu, still have some credibility. Let's do the math," the middle-aged man chuckled.

Wu Daoqing, a hermit, was proficient in divination and other secret arts.

It turns out that Li Yingyi was determined to find the heir of the Jiang family.

Unfortunately, things didn't go smoothly. The list was repeatedly reviewed, and it seemed that everyone could be on it, yet it also seemed that no one could be.

In his distress, he learned that the Xuantian Sect had invited Wu Daoqing, a diviner from the Northern Region.

Unexpectedly, Wu Daoqing didn't want anything; he wanted to see a sensual dance.

It cannot be performed by an ordinary dancer; it must be performed by a female disciple of the Xuantian Sect.

So, the scene just now happened.

"Brother, why do you want to be the heir of the Jiang family? Who is he to you?" Wu Daoqing asked with a smile.

"Why ask so many questions?" Li Yingyi naturally wouldn't reveal his secrets.

"The more we know, the better we can deduce," Wu Daoqing said.

"Stop talking nonsense." Li Yingyi didn't believe this at all.

Wu Daoqing smiled without saying a word. He did want to find something to hold against this Xuantian Sect disciple, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cautious.

“Give me the list,” he asked.

Li Yingyi handed over the list of inner disciples that he had compiled to the other party.

Wu Daoqing began his deductions. Without using any tools, he made hand gestures, and immediately mysterious runes appeared on his fingertips.

Li Yingyi's pupils dilated; only by finding the heir of the Jiang family could he seize the initiative.

“You need to find someone who isn’t here,” Wu Daoqing said.

"Are you kidding me?!" Li Yingyi looked at him coldly.

“Boy, I am a Supreme Realm expert, show some respect. If I were to fabricate something like this, I would have no place in the Northern Region.” On this point, Wu Daoqing brooked no argument.

Li Yingyi frowned deeply, which meant that all his previous efforts had been in vain.

"Are you sure the young master of the Jiang family is at the Xuantian Sect?" Wu Daoqing asked.

"determine."

"I can use the Great Deduction Technique, a supernatural secret method that can be applied throughout the entire Xuan Tian Sect, to find the person. The only price, though..."

In the end, Wu Daoqing revealed an extremely lewd smile.

“Impossible!” Li Yingyi understood what he meant.

"It's possible. I've seen too many women sell their bodies for the men they love, and even support their own men."

"I saw that female disciple was interested in you. Let me tell you, if you play the victim and say you can't go on living, she'll definitely be interested," Wu Daoqing said.

Li Yingyi left without saying a word.

Wu Daoqing chuckled and moved closer to the bluestone where Li Xiaoluo had danced earlier, inhaling the fragrance in the air with a look of intoxication on his face.

He knew countless people and knew that Li Yingyi would come looking for him soon.

"Let this old man see where the young master of the Jiang family is."

Immediately afterwards, Wu Daoqing used the Great Deduction Technique to find out the whereabouts of the Jiang family's heir.

He wasn't trying to do good deeds; he wanted to find out exactly what the conflict was between Li Yingyi and the heir of the Jiang family.

They could also profit from both sides by reselling Li Yingyi to the heir of the Jiang family.

Furthermore, the Ancient Venerable would be very pleased that the Jiang family's heir is in the Xuantian Sect, as he could use this opportunity to hold the Jiang family hostage.

"What a fruitful day!"

He activated the Great Deduction Technique, his eyes transformed into a ball of light, and golden, mysterious runes appeared all around his body.

He now knows the real name of the Jiang family's heir, his exact age, and his approximate location.

The Great Deduction Technique was successfully activated, and in his field of vision, he looked down upon the entire Xuantian Mountain Range.

Immediately afterwards, the field of vision zoomed in, revealing the inner domain of the Xuantian Sect.

Zoom in further and you'll arrive at Shuiyue Cave, a certain mountain peak.

With just one more glance, one can see the heir of the Jiang family.

Even though the young master of the Jiang family possessed a magical artifact that could prevent others from peeping, he still had a general idea of ​​what was going on, which was enough to deal with Li Yingyi.

Wu Daoqing smiled smugly. He had made a name for himself in the Northern Region thanks to his unique skill.

The next second, his smile froze, and the white light in his eyes began to crack.

As the field of vision widens further, what is revealed is not the heir of the Jiang family.

Instead, it's... a vast universe!

With a "poof," Wu Daoqing's body began to swell, and in less than half a second, it exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

In the Northern Regions, the diviner Wu Daoqing is no more.

……

Inner Domain, Xiaoyao Peak.

Snapped!

While asleep, Shen Ming only heard a buzzing sound in his ears. Thinking it was a mosquito, he reached out and swatted it, but missed.

"How could there be mosquitoes in a cave?"

Shen Ming shook his head, thinking it was just his imagination. After all, tomorrow was the Xuan Tian Grand Ceremony, and it was inevitable that he would be a little nervous.

He checked the time, decided not to continue sleeping, and left the cave to stroll around Xiaoyao Peak.

Today's battle with Senior Brother Lei was very rewarding; the "Taiqing Skywalk" technique boosted his combat power to a new level...

Just then, Shen Ming heard a scream coming from the direction of the Spirit Pool!

"There's a thief!"

Shen Ming rushed over aggressively.
