My filial piety will never change

Very good!

What Zhao Yuchen lacks now is practical combat experience. After some training here, he will definitely become a combat veteran when he goes out.

Without further ado, he planned to absorb the resources first and then conduct high-intensity combat training.

……

Time passed, and an hour in the outside world passed quickly. Zhao Yuchen was also driven out of the Time Wonderful House.

At this time, he had grown three centimeters taller, his face was a little less childish, his clothes were tattered, and his hair was long and messy like a beggar's.

It seems that the time in the Time House is also real, and his body will grow and develop with the passage of time.

Strictly speaking, he is already fourteen years old now!

He took the largest set of clothes currently in the closet and went into the bathroom to wash up.

After tidying himself up, he looked in the mirror and found himself as handsome and delicate as a little adult. His eyes were shining and he seemed to be able to speak gently and was extremely attractive.

But as soon as he focused his eyes, his aura suddenly changed, like a seasoned and powerful warrior.

The reason for this change is that his cultivation has now reached the fifth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm! He has mastered all his spiritual skills and combined them with his various buffs to easily defeat cultivators at the sixth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Even facing cultivators at the seventh level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, who have made a small leap forward, he is not at all inferior.

He suppressed his aura to the fifth level of Qi Refining at this moment, so that he could explain his changes to his three masters. Even if they would doubt him, at least they could come up with a reason.

……

The next day.

When the three girls saw Zhao Yuchen who had suddenly grown up, their beautiful eyes widened.

Zhao Yuchen made up some nonsense and attributed the reason to the improvement of his realm. He also asked his three masters to treat him in turn, and his spiritual veins were greatly strengthened, and then his development also increased rapidly.

If Zhao Yuchen's tone, expression and everything he knew were not exactly the same as before, they would definitely think he was a fake.

Gu Lingling was the saddest because this meant that Zhao Yuchen would be as tall as her, and she was devastated.

Zhao Yuchen discovered that Gu Lingling's cultivation had entered the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and was even faintly approaching the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He couldn't help but sigh that the effect of last night's conditioning was really good.

If he had enough resources, he could send both her and Shengying to the Return to Void Realm in a very short time. With three Return to Void Realm cultivators in charge, no one would dare to provoke them.

Seeing the three women still curiously observing his 'new body', Zhao Yuchen immediately changed the subject, "Any news from the Zui Qing Gang today?"

It was Shengying who answered him, "According to reports from our disciples, the Zuiqing Gang is taking the disappearance of Guo Gu and his companions very seriously. Yesterday, someone confirmed that Guo Gu was last seen in our Yinyang Valley. Therefore, we are the first suspects. I believe the Zuiqing Gang will send people to investigate soon. However, they will not dare to launch a large-scale attack, because Guimu Mountain announced their partnership with us early this morning. The Zuiqing Gang's current move is nothing more than a tactic to harm the Lingmu Sect, their superior."

Gongsun Ningyu added, "All in all, things are pretty much as we expected. However, since we promised Guimu Mountain to contain the Drunken Green Gang, we'll still be implementing some harassment plans for a while to keep the Drunken Green Gang anxious, both internally and externally, and distracted from fully supporting the Lingmu Sect."

Zhao Yuchen smiled playfully, "Ha! I do have some plans to mess with people!"

The three women asked in unison: "Tell me quickly!"

Chapter 49 Compensation

The Drunken Green Gang's livelihood consisted of casinos, brothels, restaurants, and a share of store taxes. Now, they also had to pay a forcible cooperation fee.

Zhao Yuchen's plan was this: Gongsun Ningyu would secretly conduct roving strikes against the casinos, restaurants, and brothels surrounding the gang. Since the other party's only two Void Returning Realm cultivators couldn't possibly be stationed outside, she would be safe. Shengying, using the name of Strange Tomb Mountain, would lobby the lower- and middle-level forces forced to cooperate with the Drunken Green Gang. Even if they couldn't immediately change their minds, they could at least disrupt them.

Coupled with the half-true and half-false news that Guo Gu was killed by Yin Yang Valley, it will definitely have a good effect.

After further optimizing the plan, the four masters and apprentices dispersed to do their own things.

Half an hour later, the Zuiqing Gang indeed sent someone, but it was a member who was only at the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The purpose of his visit was to inquire about Guo Gu.

Hall Master Su Fei received them and told them that Guo Gu and his companions had indeed come to Yin Yang Valley the previous day and had proposed a partnership. The three valley masters said they needed a few days to consider the matter, so they left on their own. Where they went after that was unknown to the people of Yin Yang Valley.

As for the rumor yesterday that Yin Yang Valley had killed Guo Gu, it was definitely nonsense. As everyone knows, the three valley masters were all at the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Even if they all self-destructed, they wouldn't be able to harm Guo Gu in the slightest.

As the saying goes, there is no evidence after death, so the members of the Zui Qing Gang can only go back and report.

When Zuiqing Gang leader Zuilong and Great Elder Yan Feng heard the news from their subordinates, their faces were filled with solemnity.

The two discussed privately.

Yan Feng looked to be in his seventies, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, and a gloomy temperament. He said with a frail demeanor, "Yin Yang Valley definitely doesn't have the strength to kill Old Guo, but that doesn't clear them of suspicion either."

Zuilong was thin, with a pointed face and monkey cheeks. His eyes were cloudy, and his voice was a little hoarse, giving him the appearance of being hollowed out. He said, "Early this morning, Guimu Mountain announced their cooperation. How could it be such a coincidence? This means that Old Guo's death is inextricably linked to Guimu Mountain! Yinyang Valley was merely a point of attraction to draw fire."

They had no way of believing that Yin Yang Valley had gotten rid of Guo Gu alone, and they were certain that people from Guimu Mountain were involved behind the scenes.

"Strange Tomb Mountain wants to use Yin Yang Valley to contain us." Yan Feng saw the problem at a glance and said, "They guess that the two of us won't dare to attack rashly, and they want us to suffer this loss."

Zui Long clenched his fists, a look of astonishment on his face. "What the hell is this Yin Yang Valley? If it weren't for the appearance of some descendant of Zhang Ji, who subdued Fang Cun's group of minions, I'd never even heard of it! There are absolutely no miracles in this world, let alone the huge increase in strength of the three Valley Masters in such a short time. Perhaps it's still the work of Guimu Mountain, who created this Yin Yang Valley."

Yan Feng said calmly, "The boss's guess is not without reason, but the successor of Zhang Ji has become very famous in recent days, and he must have some real talent."

Zuilong said, "Then tell me, what should we do now?"

Yan Feng said, "Yin Yang Valley itself poses no threat to us. It's only because of the support of Guimu Mountain that we're hesitant to act rashly. So, we can do the opposite and take advantage of the darkness of night to wipe out Yin Yang Valley. This will vent our anger and resolve our future worries."

Zuilong hesitated: "If Lingmu Sect sends an order..."

"It will only take one night, or even an hour or so. There will be no delay."

"If this is a trap, and there are experts from Guimu Mountain secretly guarding Yinyang Valley, waiting for us to fall into their trap, wouldn't that be a bad thing?"

When he heard him say this, Yan Feng knew that the future of the Zui Qing Gang was bleak.

Zui Long once had an encounter with the previous leader of Ling Mu Sect, and with his help, he founded the Zui Qing Gang in Yuquan Market, where he has since become a local tyrant.

After gaining some status and resources, Zuilong did not further recruit talents or expand his territory, but began to enjoy himself, indulging in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Over the past hundred years, it was a miracle that he did not regress, let alone improve his cultivation.

It would have been fine if the world had always been peaceful, but the rift between the three major factions had been foreshadowed long ago, and he had made no preparations. It was only a few days ago that Ling Muzong sent the order, and then he hurriedly and tyrannically forced the conscription of troops.

Now that he has encountered difficulties, he is hesitant and behaves like a tortoise, which really gives Yan Feng a headache.

In the end, Yan Feng could only sigh: "Then let's wait and see what happens. First, report to Lingmu Sect and see if they can spare some manpower to help. Then, gather the other local forces in Yuquan Market and order them to help with all their strength."

If the gangs under Yuzimen and Guimushan had not evacuated Yuquan Market, no one would dare to cause trouble here.

But now, apart from the Zuiqing Gang, which still has two cultivators in the Return to Void Realm in charge, the rest of the local forces have at most one cultivator in the First Level of Return to Void Realm in charge.

In this case, even if the Zuiqing Gang forcibly summoned them, they would only do it perfunctorily, and even hope that the Zuiqing Gang would fall from power so that they could get more benefits.

"it is good!"

...

However, that afternoon, the Zuiqing Gang's casinos, brothels and restaurants outside the Yuquan Market were attacked by unknown persons.

According to information provided by on-site personnel, this person is at least a cultivator at the Return to Void Realm.

Since it is mainly for harassment, they leave after they are done and you can't even find the person's shadow.

At dusk, new news reached Zuilong. Some of the smaller factions that had previously joined the Zuiqing Gang were withdrawing from the alliance. It was said they were taking advantage of the Strange Tomb Mountain, temporarily maintaining their sect's operations. So, he decided to observe the winds.

The several local forces that were previously ordered to help also pretended to be helpless.

Zuilong couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried. There were more elite forces under Lingmu Sect than just Zuiqing Gang, so why did they only target him?

So far, I haven't heard of other colleagues having this experience.

Zuilong is now caught in the middle and has never felt so helpless. He wants to fight back but doesn't know how to start. There may be a trap in Yinyang Valley, and Lingmu Sect is being restrained by two major forces in Xiaoyao City. He dare not rashly send a cultivator in the Return to Void Realm.

As a result of this, rumors spread throughout the Yuquan Market, people were in panic, many shops were temporarily closed, and even Xiaoyaofang became much quieter.

The only thing he could do now was to strengthen the control of Yuquan Market, close down the peripheral businesses, and have him and Yan Feng take turns to be on duty in the core area.

...

It was night.

The four masters and apprentices cheered in the inner hall, all of them were very satisfied with today's actions.

Zhao Yuchen said, "The Zui Qing Gang is definitely suspicious right now, but we'd better not provoke them again to prevent them from becoming desperate."

Gongsun Ningyu nodded in agreement. With the current strength of Yin Yang Valley, they were not yet able to engage in a head-on battle with the Zuiqing Gang.

Sheng Ying smiled playfully and said, "Today, I have secretly won over many middle and lower-level sects. When the three major forces in Xiaoyao City officially clash and the Zuiqing Gang is forced to join the battle, we can take advantage of the opportunity and take over Yuquan Market."

Gu Lingling excitedly exclaimed, "Then we've finally made a comeback!"

Zhao Yuchen said calmly, "If we want to take over Yuquan Market, relying solely on our Great Master's Void-Returning Strength isn't enough. Second and Third Masters must also quickly catch up. Great Master, tomorrow, please go to Guimu Mountain again and ask them to donate more resources. If they refuse, tell them that after the health building is completed and officially opened, their disciples will receive no fees for their first treatment, but subsequent treatments will be halved and they will receive priority."

It is hard to say who will gain more by exchanging future benefits for present benefits, but for Yin Yang Valley, this is the best way.

After the meeting, Gongsun Ningyu handed Zhao Yuchen a piece of jade. "Chen'er, this is the fourth spiritual skill of Yin Yang Valley, the 'Nine Profound Killing Domain'. The three of us unanimously decided to give it to you. Since none of us have practiced it before and we can't teach you, you can learn it by yourself."

"Thank you, three masters." Zhao Yuchen took it and put it in his pocket, then said, "Originally, it was Second Master's turn to teach tonight, but I have already learned the Mysterious Silk Slashing Technique, so I will directly help Second Master with the treatment! I hope to enter the Returning Void Realm as soon as possible."

The other two girls naturally had no objection.

The contributions made recently have also increased the filial piety value by 9 points and the favorability by 3 points per person.

【Total Filial Piety Value: 14】

[Favorability: Gongsun Ningyu 122; Shengying 73; Gu Lingling 48]

...

Shengying still chose the secret room where he was beaten that day.

As soon as the two stepped into the secret room, the door was closed by Shengying. She turned her seductive waist and hugged Zhao Yuchen in her arms. Her red lips touched his face and she said with a sweet breeze, "Little boy, we finally have some time alone. Yesterday's reward was interrupted, and I'm going to make it up to you in full today!"

"Hmm~"

Before Zhao Yuchen could speak, Shengying had already kissed him on the mouth, sucking his marrow from his bones...

This bitch~her butt is itchy again!

Chapter 50 I'm going to give you a chance

Shengying's kiss seemed to carry a magical power, with a sweet smell mixed with a dizzying scent.

Zhao Yuchen's whole body suddenly felt numb, and the magic weapon stood up like a pillar of heaven.

After a battle of lips and tongues, the saliva was stretched into a thread, connecting the lower lips of both parties.

Shengying's jade hand gently stroked his chest, "Little boy~ You look more like a man now."

Zhao Yuchen was so aroused that he grabbed Sheng Ying's wrist and said, "Second Master, is it time for some conditioning?"

Sheng Ying could feel his excited heartbeat, and said with eyes as bright as autumn water, "Isn't this just foreplay for conditioning? Only when you enter a state of fusion of body and mind can you achieve better results. Ah, you seem to be asking for something from me."

As she spoke, her hands teased very gently through the fabric.

Although the two had flirted with each other many times, this was the first time. Zhao Yuchen was a little surprised by Sheng Ying's boldness and initiative.

I tried hard to suppress the waves of pleasure and wanted to say something.

But Sheng Ying spoke first: "I heard from my senior sister and junior sister that you already know the purpose of our adoption. That's why you said those words to us last time and were so resistant."

He was not surprised by Gongsun Ningyu and Gu Lingling's confession. He would have to tell Sheng Ying about this matter sooner or later.

But from observations throughout the day, the three sisters did not seem to have any conflicts because of this, and they were seriously discussing the future of Yin Yang Valley.

Could it be that Shengying has been convinced by the two of them?

Zhao Yuchen released her wrist and let her tease him. He took a deep breath and asked, "What does the Second Master think?"

Sheng Ying bit his ear and said harshly, "I'm very disappointed with what my senior sister and junior sister did! After all, power is only truly secure when it's in your own hands. But..."

Her tone turned gentle and charming again, "After going through so much, my heart is not so determined anymore. You are really unique, little brat. I plan to give you a chance."

Zhao Yuchen smiled his first smile since entering the secret room and kissed her cheek. "As I said, we are one. Only by working together wholeheartedly can we have a bright future."

Sheng Ying said quietly, "Then can you promise me one thing?"

Zhao Yuchen said: "Second Master, just speak frankly."

Shengying said: "We must open the God's Tomb."

Zhao Yuchen was slightly stunned. Opening the divine tomb has been the mission of Yin Yang Valley for generations, and the next person in charge will swear an oath to inherit this mission.

Last time, Gongsun Ningyu did not ask Zhao Yuchen to swear an oath, but she did not expect Shengying to make such a request.

"Second Master, is this because you made a spiritual vow yourself that you want to pass this mission on to me?"

"No, I don't need you to swear an oath. I just need you to agree verbally."

Zhao Yuchen said seriously: "I promise you, I will do my best."
