My filial piety will never change

Zhao Yuchen pondered and said, "Just say you all agree to their request, lower their guard, and try to keep them. I'll go see Master, and the timing of the action will be based on the agreed signal."

...

Zhao Yuchen hurried to the door of Gongsun Ningyu's boudoir and pushed it open.

Gongsun Ningyu was still in the same miserable state as before he left, sitting cross-legged on the bed.

It looked like it would take a long time. Zhao Yuchen didn't want to delay any longer and said, "Master, the situation can't wait any longer. Please forgive my rudeness!"

After saying that, he went up and kissed her on the mouth.

Gongsun Ningyu was immersed in the transformation of the medicinal power. Since the amount of supplements required for the Return to Void Realm was too much, it was almost a pipe dream to want to fully replenish it in just a few hours.

But she had to enter the Huanxu realm today, so she was also very anxious.

Although she could feign agreement with the Drunken Green Gang's demands and trick Guo Gu and the others into returning, the next time they came, it wouldn't just be these few people; they would completely take over Yin Yang Valley, and they wouldn't give the three sisters any more time to develop. Even if she were at the First Level of Returning Void by then, it would be difficult for her to openly confront the Drunken Green Gang.

Just when she was anxious, Zhao Yuchen's tongue had already entered her jade mouth. At the same time, the yin and yang energies entered her dantian from her lower abdomen, intertwining with her qi, helping her to refine the medicinal power.

Chapter 45: A Final Battle

This wasn't conditioning, but simply assisting in refining. Zhao Yuchen needed to input a large amount of spiritual power at once to activate the medicinal power.

She suddenly felt her spiritual power flowing faster under the stimulation, and she couldn't help but hug Zhao Yuchen's head and suck it to her heart's content.

"Hmm~Chen'er..." She let out a soft cry, as if she was about to reach a certain state.

Zhao Yuchen had originally not wanted to use this method, as it would easily expose his true level and cause mental fatigue. After all, he had been tossing and turning all night last night. Even if his realm had improved, he couldn't do this.

So he could only mobilize Gongsun Ningyu to cover up the aura of his realm.

Taking advantage of Gongsun Ningyu's confusion, he output his spiritual power to its peak, directly stimulating all the remaining medicinal power.

In just a moment, he immediately hid his breath again.

"what!"

Gongsun Ningyu had no time to think about where Zhao Yuchen got such powerful spiritual power. Under the impact of the full power of the medicine, her body shook and the majestic spiritual power swirled around her.

Zhao Yuchen was shaken away and fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, Gongsun Ningyu's eyes were shining, like a banished immortal.

"Chen'er, your master has achieved a breakthrough."

The filial piety value did not increase, most likely it was counted as overall help. Zhao Yuchen had long been accustomed to it.

Looking at her disheveled and lustful body, Zhao Yuchen could only say one sentence: "Then Master, go and wash yourself!"

……

Elsewhere, Sheng Ying and Gu Lingling returned to the valley courtyard. The former said to Guo Gu, "The three of us sisters have already discussed and decided to cooperate with the Zui Qing Gang, but we still need to continue to discuss the details of the cooperation with you."

Guo Gu's face was calm, as if he had already expected this result. He could tell at a glance that Sheng Ying was at the eighth level of the Divine Transformation Realm, while Gu Lingling was at the seventh level. Perhaps there was some deviation from the previous rumors that both were at the seventh level, but it was not far off.

As for Gongsun Ningyu, who had yet to show her face, she was probably in the same boat. Yin Yang Valley's current level couldn't support them reaching the Return to Void Realm, let alone in such a short time. Even with the help of Zhang Ji's descendants, it wouldn't be enough.

So their only choice was to surrender.

After the handover is completed, the successor of Zhang Ji will also become a member of the Zuiqing Gang. He can then be used to enhance the strength of the Zuiqing Gang and accumulate capital for subsequent disputes.

As for these three Valley Masters, their strength might be acceptable in the lower to mid-level outer regions, but it would be a bit of a stretch to place them in Yuquan Market and Xiaoyao City. If they are willing to actively curry favor and cooperate, they will be rewarded. If they refuse, it will be easy to eliminate one or two of them.

If it were a month ago, the Zuiqing Gang would not have bothered to pay attention to such a small peripheral force. Now it is only because of the situation that they are looking for a tall person among the short people.

The fat man was also very proud when he heard this. He waved his fat hand and said, "Why bother to discuss it in such detail? Just follow our arrangements."

Gu Lingling said coldly, "Who is in charge of this trip, Deacon Guo, or you?"

"What tone are you using when talking to me?" Anger appeared on the fat man's face.

"Shut up." Guo Gu glared at the fat man again, then said, "He just has a bad temper, but he's actually not a bad person. I heard that a member of the outer sect named Ma Dangshui once offended Yin Yang Valley. Maybe this has caused you to misunderstand our sect. In fact, as long as you cooperate with us, we are one family."

Hearing that he didn't mention Wen Ye, Sheng Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said leisurely, "That's great. We still want to discuss the monthly resources to be handed over and what kind of market business we can obtain. Of course, the more detailed the better."

It was still early, so Guo Gu answered all the above questions one by one. Sheng Ying asked questions from time to time, and he was so detailed that he seemed to want to calculate the cost of even a low-grade spirit stone very clearly.

This made Fatty and Sister Se a little impatient, but Guo Gu did not signal them to continue to exert pressure, so they did not dare to speak out.

Just when they were discussing which two valley masters would go to the Zuiqing Gang, a light talisman spread out from the air, and the golden light overshadowed the sunlight.

Sheng Ying knew that Gongsun Ningyu had come out of seclusion, and immediately said, "I'm sorry, Deacon Guo, it seems something has happened internally. Junior Sister, you and Hall Master Su should go over and take a look."

Upon hearing this, the two girls immediately left the courtyard.

Not long after they left, a golden light burst out from outside.

Sheng Ying said solemnly, "It seems they can't handle it. I have to go check it out. Please wait a moment longer. I'll be right back."

After saying that, Sheng Ying also left in a hurry. Guo Gu and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

The fat man said angrily, "If there's something wrong, why not just send a disciple to notify us? Why bother using talismans and signals? It's like taking off your pants to fart, it's superfluous!"

Reminded of this, Guo Guru jumped up as if struck by lightning: "Oh no! This might be a trick! Let's go!"

He rushed out of the yard first. As soon as his left foot stepped out of the threshold, the formation covering the entire yard rose up, trapping them inside.

Outside, there were a group of elite spirits in Yin Yang Valley, led by Sheng Ying. They worked together to control the formation. Even if Guo Gu was at the first level of Return to Void, it would be impossible for him to break through in a few moves.

When Fatty and Sister Se saw this scene, their faces were filled with shock and anger.

"How dare you go against the Drunken Green Gang!?" The fat man shouted angrily, but he was helpless against this formation.

Guo Gu remained calm and said, "Second Valley Master, your formation can indeed trap me for a while, but you don't have the ability to kill me. Once I break through this formation, Yin Yang Valley will be in utter disaster. If you can remove the formation, our previous cooperation agreement will remain valid."

Gu Lingling sneered, "You shameless old man, and you still dare to talk about cooperation? You clearly want to invade Yin Yang Valley and make us the Drunken Green Gang's running dogs! Instead of that, we might as well fight to the death!"

The fat man had long been annoyed with Gu Lingling and shouted, "You little bitch, if we fight alone, I can kill you with one hand!"

Guo Gu said, "Those who have courage are certainly commendable, but being reckless without understanding the situation is foolish. You should think carefully about this."

In reality, Guo Gu hesitated to force his way through the formation because he had a vague feeling that this might be more than just a mindless act of recklessness. Sheng Ying was clearly a smart person, so why would she do something so suicidal? Perhaps they had other options.

"Don't be offended, Deacon Guo. My two junior sisters are indeed unable to kill you. But I have fortunately broken through to the Return to Void Realm today, so I might be able to learn a few moves from you."

Along with the voice came the graceful figure of Gongsun Ningyu. She looked brand new, with her hair tied up in a bun, wrapped in a tight martial arts uniform, and her hands shining with red light, giving off a powerful and extraordinary aura.

Guo Gu's expression finally changed slightly. The most worried and impossible thing happened. Gongsun Ningyu had actually entered the Return to Void Realm!

Without waiting for Guo Gu to speak, at Gongsun Ningyu's signal, the formation started to work again, sending out powerful spiritual energy shocks.

Such an attack naturally could not kill Guo Gu, but it could consume his physical strength and even deprive him of time to replenish his energy.

Fatty and Sister Se were in a difficult situation. Their realm was even lower, and under the formation controlled by many gods-transforming cultivators, they were like ants on a hot pan, suffering immensely.

In a short period of time, both of them had exhausted more than half of their physical strength.

However, the number of Jindan monks outside was also consumed very quickly.

At this time, the three sisters rushed into the formation together, and Gu Lingling summoned the icy sword energy and pointed it directly at the fat man.

Shengying will deal with Sister Se.

Gongsun Ningyu restrained Guo Gu.

The physical strength of the three enemies was greatly consumed, especially Fatty and Sister Se. Under the harassment of the formation and the full-state attacks of Gu Lingling and Shengying, they were defeated and killed in just a dozen breaths.

The two women immediately withdrew from the formation and became the main force in controlling the formation, helping Gongsun Ningyu deal with Guo Gu.

Guo Gu is also amazing. Under such a huge headwind, facing opponents of the same level and being harassed by formations, he can still take out various magic weapons and means to fight back one after another.

Of course, he was already in prison and was just making his final struggle.

It wasn't until he was completely defeated by Gongsun Ningyu's merciless flaming fist in the chest that he launched a final threat and pleaded for mercy: "If you kill me, the Zui Qing Gang will not let you go! The Ling Mu Sect will also intervene! If you can stop now, I can still pretend nothing happened."

Gongsun Ningyu was not shaken at all, because she knew that if she didn't kill this man, Yin Yang Valley would never be able to truly rise!

'puff! '

Another Jade Mysterious Fire Fist hit Guo's bones. With his back to the wall, he was bleeding in the sky and died on the spot!

Zhao Yuchen, who had been watching the battle from a distance, took a deep breath and sighed, "Once we take this step, there's no turning back for Yin Yang Valley. We'll either die in the waves, or we'll overturn the rivers and seas and reach Penglai..."

Chapter 46 Show Your True Skills

After Guo Gu and the other two were dealt with, it was as if nothing had happened in Yin Yang Valley. People continued to work as usual, and practice as usual.

Only Gongsun Ningyu hurriedly left the sect with the items that could prove Guo Gu's identity.

The purpose of her trip was to the Guimu Mountain in Xiaoyao City to seek cooperation with them.

After this, the Zuiqing Gang will definitely know that Guo Gu died at their hands, but if Guimu Mountain shows up to cover it up, and given the unknown strength of Yinyang Valley, they will definitely hesitate or be afraid to act rashly.

As for whether the Lingmu Sect would come to their aid, it was most likely not. The Lingmu Sect was being held hostage by two major factions. If they sent a Void Returning Realm cultivator to assist the Drunken Green Gang, their already weak position would be exacerbated, and they might even be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Therefore, now all that is needed is for Gongsun Ningyu to impress Guimu Mountain, and Yinyang Valley will be safe for the time being.

However, this trip to Yin Yang Valley was also very costly. Gongsun Ningyu had almost exhausted all the resource reserves, and the formation to encircle Guo Gu further depleted the family's assets.

Although Guo Gu, as the inner sect steward of the Drunken Green Gang, left behind far more resources than Wen Ye, he didn't carry most of his assets with him, but instead kept them in Lingshi Manor. Only some decent magical instruments and elixirs were used to replenish the Yin Yang Valley.

By the time the ten guests had been treated today, it was already afternoon. The total profit was over 9 low-grade spirit stones, which was a small consolation.

[Filial Piety +9; Favorability of each Master +3. Total Filial Piety 101]

[Favorability: Gongsun Ningyu 119; Shengying 70; Gu Lingling 35]

With his Filial Piety Points reaching around 100, Zhao Yuchen planned to exchange them for resources to further enhance his strength. He now had a Time Wonderful House where he could cultivate for two years. He couldn't just go in alone, could he? He had to bring something with him, whether it was elixirs, elixirs, or techniques.

But this will have to be discussed before going to bed at night. Now they are waiting for information from Gongsun Ningyu.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, Gongsun Ningyu finally came back.

The three sisters and Zhao Yuchen gathered in the inner hall.

Gongsun Ningyu spoke first: "Ghostly Grave Mountain has agreed to cooperate. We'll spread the word tomorrow at the latest, announcing our alliance with them."

The remaining three people all smiled happily.

But Gongsun Ningyu looked at Zhao Yuchen and said, "Ghost Tomb Mountain has also made a request. They hope that Chen'er will attend the Spiritual Medicine Exchange Conference on the third day of April."

Zhao Yuchen recalled the information he had seen on the bulletin board at Yuquan Market that day: the Lord of Guimu Mountain was looking for a master for his daughter, Gui Yuzhen.

He remembered that the requirement was that participants had to reach the ninth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. He hadn't expected that Guimu Mountain would make an exception for him.

Judging from what Gongsun Ningyu said just now, she has most likely agreed.

It is not possible to refuse, after all, the help of Guimu Mountain is very crucial.

Zhao Yuchen said, "Okay, then which master will take me there? Does he have any other requests?"

Gongsun Ningyu shook her head. "Not only that, they also gave me this bag of resources. It contains about 300,000 low-grade spirit stones and a lot of spiritual medicine. What they mean is that we should try our best to contain the Zui Qing Gang and prevent them from fully supporting the Ling Mu Sect."

The Zui Qing Gang was the Ling Mu Sect's top lackey. With the now deceased Guo Gu, they had three Return to Void Realm cultivators in command. That was how they dominated the entire Yuquan Market.

Even if Guo Gu died, their fighting power should not be underestimated.

As for Yin Yang Valley, they already had a mortal feud with the Zui Qing Gang, and even if there was no request from Guimu Mountain, they would have no way to avoid it.

The four masters and apprentices had a brief exchange and then dispersed.

Due to the complete conflict with the Zuiqing Gang, the members of Yinyang Valley will suspend their business at Yuquan Market.

Anyway, new resources have been injected into our hands, so we can delay it a bit and it won't be a problem to hold on until the health building is completed.

……

Let’s be clear about one thing at a time. Even if the situation is tense, we cannot neglect teaching Zhao Yuchen.

Tonight it is Gu Lingling's turn to teach again.

She still chose her favorite cold pond.

It can be seen that she is in a very good mood. Not only has the crisis of the sect been temporarily alleviated, but the knot in her heart about Zhao Yuchen has also been untied. She walks as hopping as a rabbit, "Little Yuchen, hurry up!"

Looking at her slender and charming figure, which looked like a night spirit, Zhao Yuchen smiled and followed her.

When I arrived at Hantan, I found the place to be as quiet and beautiful as ever.

Zhao Yuchen stood by the pond, his back to the bright moon, and said with a smile, "Third Master, are you not taking off your clothes today?"

Gu Lingling blushed immediately and said embarrassedly, "That day I just wanted to make you feel cold."

Zhao Yuchen laughed and said, "But Third Master is having a lot of fun. We can still play some games tonight, especially the game of big fish catching small fish."
