"Avoidance has never been my style," Wei Chen said, his expression serious, no longer interested in admiring Weirou's graceful figure. He pondered for a moment before adding, "You cannot marry Song Qingshan; I have my own plans."
Weirou bit her lip in silence, and after a long pause, she asked, "Wei Chen, since you haven't received any news, why did you come to find me so early?"
"Uh..." Wei Chen scratched his head awkwardly. "I need to borrow a set of your clothes."
"My clothes?" Weirou stared at Wei Chen with a strange expression, wondering if he had some peculiar preference. Her face flushed as she debated whether to lend them to him.
Wei Chen left the Flower Soul Lineage Base and hadn't walked far when a fragrant breeze swept past him. Ji Mei emerged from a thicket, her figure swaying gracefully.
"Junior Brother Wei, you really work hard at your cultivation. Didn't you practice all night? Are you going to cultivate again now? Don't overdo it."
Ji Mei smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling with an inexplicable light.
Wei Chen's heart stirred; did this woman know something?
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. I know my limits," he replied, cupping his fists in greeting and attempting to leave. However, Ji Mei stepped in front of him with a meaningful look and said, "Junior Brother, Senior Sister has done you a great favor."
Leaning closer to Wei Chen's ear, Ji Mei whispered softly, "As long as you handle the situation with Zhao Yu well, Zhao Chen will never have the chance to report you to the Cloud Spirit Sect."
Wei Chen was taken aback for a moment before a deep killing intent flashed in his eyes as he stared at Ji Mei coldly. "Senior Sister, what do you mean? Forgive me for being dull; I don't understand."
"Zhao Chen is already dead, alongside Zhao Kuo's corpse. You can go take a look," Ji Mei said with a smile as she stepped back. "Junior Brother Wei, you owe me a favor. When the opportunity arises, I will ask for it back."
With that, Ji Mei walked away. Wei Chen watched her retreating figure, his brow furrowing and then relaxing in turns.
Wei Chen sprinted towards Zhao Kuo's corpse and indeed found Zhao Chen dead there as well.
Zhao Chen's death was extremely tragic; his entire body appeared as if it had been soaked in water for days, swollen and pale, with his eyes deeply sunken, as if he had witnessed something horrifying just before dying.
"Ji Mei saw everything. It's not a big deal for a beautiful woman to witness such things. However, I owe her a significant favor now, and she has leverage over me."
"It’s best to destroy the body and leave no trace. For now, let's hold back and observe."
At the Cloud Spirit Sect Master Peak, there were many cliffs. Wei Chen dealt with Zhao Kuo's body and returned to where Zhao Yu was. The woman cowered beneath a large tree, wrapped in torn pieces of clothing that Wei Chen had ripped apart, looking pitiful.
"Change into this outfit."
Wei Chen handed his clothes to Zhao Yu. She coldly accepted them, and once Wei Chen walked away, she changed into the delicate white dress from Weirou, which fit her quite well.
"Zhao Chen and Zhao Kuo are both dead. No one knows about this matter; you can rest assured."
When Zhao Yu emerged, Wei Chen's eyes lit up. Weirou might have thought that Wei Chen had a particular preference for such things and deliberately chose a revealing sheer dress for him. The outfit exposed much of her figure, making her look incredibly alluring.
Wei Chen recalled how Zhao Yu had looked without any clothes on and unconsciously swallowed hard.
Zhao Yu glared at Wei Chen with disgust and coldly huffed, "Don't think that by doing this I will forgive you. I can't kill you now, but once my strength is sufficient, I will definitely take your head!"
Seeing Zhao Yu's murderous intent still strong, Wei Chen helplessly shrugged and said, "Feel free to come at me anytime; I'm always ready."
Zhao Yu turned and fled; she didn't want to spend another second with Wei Chen. But with both Zhao Kuo and Zhao Chen dead, she felt a deep shock inside—Wei Chen's strength had grown so formidable?
Wei Chen sat in place, trying for a long time but unable to enter a state of cultivation. The matter with Zhao Yu was secondary; the most critical issue was the marriage between Song Qingshan and Weirou.
"The wedding is in three days; there's really not much time left."
After hesitating for a while, Wei Chen got up and returned to the Flower Soul Lineage Base to find the elder Yun Yun.
"Elder Yun smiled and said, 'Wei Chen, you brought honor to our Flower Soul Lineage yesterday. Zhao Song poisoned you, and Elder Zhao WujI from the Beast Soul Line feels guilty about it. He just sent over some pills for you.'
Seeing Wei Chen, Elder Yun's face lit up with joy. Having spent a significant amount to rescue Wei Chen from Song He, it seemed that the investment was well worth it.
On the table lay a brocade box about a foot square, exuding a fragrant aroma. Elder Yun continued, 'The items in this brocade box are all sent by Zhao WujI, and they are all yours. The outer sect disciples' competition is about to begin; I hope you can perform brilliantly.'
'Thank you, Elder,' Wei Chen quickly hugged the brocade box to his chest, showing no modesty as he grinned mischievously.
'By the way, what did you want to see me about?'
'Nothing much. With this brocade box, there's really nothing else,' Wei Chen said with a smile before running off. Yun Yun guessed he had come to ask for pills.
Learning from Zhao Yu's lesson, Wei Chen distanced himself from the Flower Soul Lineage this time and found a secluded cave that was nearly impossible to locate. He opened the brocade box.
Inside the box were numerous pills, including three hundred Soul Power Pills and fifty Soul Nourishing Pills, along with even more precious third-grade pills.
'What a fortune! Zhao WujI is quite a good person to give me so many pills. If he knew I slept with his granddaughter and killed two of his grandsons, he would probably faint from anger!'
Wei Chen pondered for a moment before covering the cave entrance with some branches and sitting down to begin his cultivation. He swallowed the Soul Power Pills in large quantities; the pure Soul Power circulated through his meridians before entering his Spirit Essence. The Spirit of Thunder was nourished, and within his Spirit Essence's sea of energy, the Thunder Dragon roiled restlessly, driving the Soul Power toward the Cloud Gate acupoint.
On the purple Thunder Dragon, a Demon Lotus Petal adhered to it like black armor adorning the dragon. With enough Soul Power, the Thunder Dragon was unstoppable; in just three hours, the Cloud Gate acupoint was blasted open.
A piercing pain surged through him as Wei Chen broke into a sweat from the agony, gritting his teeth in determination. This was an essential trial for advancing in cultivation that no one could avoid or wished to evade. As the Soul Power flowed continuously into the acupoint, an incredibly pleasant sensation spread throughout Wei Chen's body. The vigorous Soul Power quickly healed any damage left in the acupoint, making the Cloud Gate feel full and warm.
'Eighth level of Spirit Realm! To infiltrate Beast Soul Line and kill Song Qingshan, I need to reach at least the Refined Realm to have some assurance.'
Wei Chen thought as he grabbed another Soul Power Pill and continued swallowing them. The Spirit of Thunder guided the Soul Power toward the last acupoint of Spirit Realm—the Central Palace Point!
At the same time, news of Zhao Chen and Zhao Kuo's disappearance began to spread within Beast Soul Line."
Zhao Yu knelt in the main hall, surrounded by the elders of the Beast Soul Line, with only Chu Fenglin as an exception. As the top disciple of the Beast Soul Line and a direct apprentice of Zhao WujI, Chu Fenglin had the right to participate in discussions.
"Zhao Yu, someone saw you out with Zhao Chen and Zhao Kuo last night. They have yet to return. Do you know where they went?"
Zhao WujI's expression was calm, but his eyes held a chilling intensity. Just that morning, he had lost a significant amount of elixirs to the Flower Soul Lineage, and now both Zhao Chen and Zhao Kuo were missing. Despite searching through the Cloud Spirit Sect, they could not be found. It was likely that something terrible had happened to them, and how could he not be furious?
Zhao Chen was the second-ranked disciple within the Beast Soul Line, holding a high status and deeply favored by Zhao WujI. Zhao Kuo was also an outstanding Inner Sect Disciple, far superior to someone like Zhao Song. The disappearance of both individuals was undoubtedly related to Zhao Yu!
Even though Zhao WujI had always favored the obedient Zhao Yu, at this moment, he had no patience left.
Zhao Yu's complexion changed repeatedly; she knew she couldn't escape responsibility for this matter. However, regarding her own reputation, she wanted to take revenge for Wei Chen's misdeeds herself.
Zhao Yu lifted her head and looked at the only female elder of the Beast Soul Line. Ignoring Zhao WujI's inquiry, she respectfully bowed to Elder Qing and trembled as she said, "Elder Qing, I have something to discuss with you privately."
Elder Qing signaled to Zhao WujI with her eyes. He narrowed his eyes but did not refuse Zhao Yu's request.
Zhao Yu and Elder Qing entered a private room. Under Elder Qing's puzzled gaze, Zhao Yu opened her clothing and suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Zhao Chen and Zhao Kuo disregarded our brotherhood and clan ties and forcibly defiled me. Please see through this matter, Elder."
Seeing the numerous wounds on Zhao Yu's body, Elder Qing rushed forward to help her up and put her clothes back on. Anger surged within her as she exclaimed, "Those two scoundrels dared to commit such shameless acts! When you first arrived, I suspected you were no longer a maiden; I never imagined it was those two who did this."
"Where are they now? Such a grave crime deserves death!"
"I have already killed them and disposed of their bodies in the Cliff."
Elder Qing was known for her gentle temperament within the Beast Soul Line, but after hearing what Zhao Yu had endured, her anger as a woman flared up even more. With red-rimmed eyes, she held onto Zhao Yu and spoke softly, "Yuer, I will seek justice for you. I know how to handle things with Elder Zhao; I won't let more people find out."
Elder Qing brought Zhao Yu back to the main hall. She leaned close to Zhao WujI's ear and whispered something. Instantly, his expression darkened significantly as he ordered the other elders and Chu Fenglin out. After scrutinizing Zhao Yu for a moment, he shook his head helplessly and said softly, "Yuer, let's let this matter pass. Family shame should not be aired publicly. Since Zhao Chen and Zhao Kuo are dead now, focus on your cultivation and forget about this incident. If you don't want to stay in the Cloud Spirit Sect, you can return to your clan and try to forget it sooner."
"Grandfather, I don't want to go back." Zhao Yu shook her head; a glint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes as she thought to herself: "Wei Chen has yet to pay the price; how can I go back!"
Only Zhao Yu knew that she had not betrayed Wei Chen. The reason for her inner turmoil remained a mystery.
Did she want to take revenge herself? Perhaps, just perhaps...
In the evening, Wei Chen broke through Central Palace Point, his powerful Soul Power surged in, connecting the nine major nodes of the Spirit Realm. The flow of Soul Power became unobstructed, and the accumulation of Soul Power within him increased several times compared to before.
"Concentrate the Essence Martial Soul as quickly as possible and kill Song Qingshan; that is the root of solving that matter."
Wei Chen thought to himself as he continued his cultivation. After several hours of effort, he stabilized his realm and reached the Great Perfection stage of the Spirit Realm before rising to return to the Flower Soul Lineage Base.
As soon as he arrived back, Elder Yunyun summoned him to the Council Hall.
Several elders from the Flower Soul Lineage were present, but one person made Wei Chen's heart skip a beat, cold sweat trickling down his back.
"Has it ultimately been exposed?"
Wei Chen's expression changed slightly as his Soul Power circulated within him. The Silent Extinction Finger was poised and ready; with even a slight misstep, he would have to flee for his life!
That person was none other than Zhao Wuji, the preaching elder of the Beast Soul Line!
