Postwar Aftermath (Continued)
However, things are different in a world where all power belongs to oneself. A Void Returning Great Grandmaster is equivalent to a human walking nuclear bomb. If one day he suddenly goes mad and wants to take revenge on society, he will be more powerful than any terrorist organization. If he encounters a third-rate country like the Nation of Beauty, he may even be able to accomplish the feat of destroying a country by himself. In such a world, a mysterious organization formed by a few strong people would be extremely threatening.
Yu Shuying continued, "Generally speaking, righteous organizations grow from weak to strong, building themselves up little by little. But Evil Dao organizations always appear suddenly, and they have considerable strength as soon as they appear. Why? Because if Evil Dao organization had a weak phase, it would have been nipped in the bud long ago. From this, it is not difficult to deduce that the people in Evil Dao organizations are all people who betrayed the righteous organizations."
Actually, the Remote Heaven Society isn't a traditional, based, evil organization. Rather, it's similar to the Heaven's Will Palace. Its members are experts in their respective fields, like an incredibly wealthy merchant who openly possesses vast financial and material resources. These resources Remote Heaven Society, yet he can use them to serve it. This explains the Remote Heaven Society's intelligence networks and advanced technology.
Murong Qing frowned and said, "If what you're saying is true, what's the point of them doing this? Since they've already achieved fame and success on the righteous path, why would they join an evil organization and tarnish their reputation?"
Yu Shuying said, "It's very simple. There are some things that cannot be solved by righteous means. For example, what if some inhumane scientific research uses living people as experimental subjects, and the required quantity is very large? As righteous people, they cannot do these things, but it is very natural for an evil organization to do such things. They can separate their righteous self from their Evil Dao self, so that they do not interfere with each other, but they can still enjoy the benefits brought by both identities."
This is also why Yu Shuying created the gang, so that she could have the power of both the legitimate and criminal worlds at the same time. Of course, she did not deliberately hide her identity, after all, she was not a big shot to begin with, so she did not have too many concerns.
Murong Qing was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Although I cannot agree with this approach, it is undeniable that some people would do such a thing. However, given that the Remote Heaven Society now wanted throughout the continent, I believe that even the highest levels of the government would not dare to protect it, should such a person truly exist."
Si Ming, "Let's leave these matters to our masters. Political maneuvering isn't for us. Right now, we should continue cultivating and quickly improve our strength. I plan to visit Martial Uncle Xiao during the winter break. My Jade-Clad Dharma Body can't withstand my maximum power and needs further strengthening."
If one can cultivate the "Supreme Plain Decay True Scripture" to the point of having Mercury Alloy Body, it would be enough to withstand the superposition of three special abilities. In that case, if one were to face the Moth Emperor again... it would probably still be impossible to save her.
Putting aside the opponent's extraordinary speed, in a battle between equals, unless both sides are determined to fight to the death, or have set up an ambush, cut off their escape route with helpers, or surround them with formations, otherwise, if one side decides to escape, the other side really can't stop them. Defeating or seriously injuring them is not difficult, but killing them is very difficult.
Having an extra trump card at least gives you more confidence and allows you to be more at ease in battle. Although the Moth Emperor is fast, its strength is only average. With its Mercury Alloy Body, it can be fearless of the opponent's attacks and can forcefully activate its ultimate move without fear of being interrupted.
In addition, we also need to ask Yuezheng Yao for the complete set of "Nine Shao Pitch-Setting Art".
The reason why Si Ming was subdued by Yuezheng Qiong in one move was not only because Yuezheng Qiong personally guided him in cultivating the No-Emptiness Sound Flow and knew him inside and out, but also because the other party possessed the complete "Nine Shao Pitch-Setting Art", which naturally allowed him to easily manipulate his incomplete version.
If Si Ming doesn't want to repeat the situation of the last battle when facing Yuezheng Qiong again, he either needs to abolish the No-Emptiness Sound Flow within his body or possess the complete "Nine Shao Pitch-Setting Art" to stand on the same level as his opponent. As a brave and diligent martial artist, he should naturally choose the latter.
Since the sisters broke up, Yuezheng Yao has been living a life of leisure. She has stopped attending school and stays at home all day. Although she is not living a life of debauchery, she is living like a walking corpse. If we can help her escort Yuezheng Qiong back, it should not be difficult to obtain the complete set of Cultivation Method. Moreover, after such an incident, the Yuezheng Lineage will probably not be able to get through this hurdle without paying a price.
In addition, his body has recovered, and the condition of his severed meridians has been alleviated due to the process of breaking through and rebuilding. Si Ming is now able to cultivate orthodox Internal Cultivation methods, which should be carefully selected.
The "Supreme Plain Decay True Scripture", "Nine Shao Pitch-Setting Art", and Internal Cultivation are the three directions that Si Ming has set for himself in his cultivation plan to improve his martial arts system and make up for his shortcomings.
Murong Qing also had her own thoughts on this. "I was planning to go to my master for special training. I originally had a training plan for this semester, but my master said that I had been too stressed recently and that pushing myself too hard would only damage my body. So he told me to rest for a while and now it's time to get back to my old training rhythm."
After they finished speaking, they turned their gaze to Yu Shuying.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a cultivation fanatic, I don't follow the same path as you two," Yu Shuying quickly waved her hand, then pretended to be serious, "The nature of a gentleman is not different, but he is good at making use of external things. He makes up for his own shortcomings with external things. I got some news from my master that, probably because the Divine Pillar was cut down, the power of the Eternal Barrier was weakened, and some rune technologies that could only be used as decorations in the past have regained their effects. Therefore, there is a solution for miniaturizing the Profound Armor. I believe that before long, we will be able to carry a piece of Profound Armor with us and put it into actual combat anytime, anywhere."
That's good news!
Si Ming's eyes lit up. With the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor's assistance, he could keep up with the Moth Emperor's speed and avoid being passively attacked all the time. Moreover, he remembered the doctor's introduction that the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor came with its own formation. With his current level eleven Internal Cultivation, he could already use it, although it couldn't be maintained for long. It was hopeless in regular battles, but using it for a fatal blow at a critical moment would be like using good steel on the blade.
"Is this so-called miniaturization going to mean turning it into a crystal, so you can shout 'Transform!' when you want to put on the Profound Armor?"
The image itself is quite appealing. It might not be very useful in actual combat, but it's undeniably cool and stylish.
I have style, and I'm proud of it!
Just as Yu Shuying was about to pour cold water on the idea, the door to the activity room was suddenly pushed open, and a figure rushed in anxiously. It was none other than Yuezheng Yao, who should have been in a relaxed state.
"You're here after all! That's great! I have some news to tell you."
At this moment, Yuezheng Yao was not only without makeup, but her clothes were also not properly arranged. You could see the outline of her underwear through the veil, and two straps were even showing on her shoulders. She was even more sloppy than a tomboy.
But Yuezheng Yao, who usually cared most about her appearance, ignored this and quickly said, "I searched my sister's room and found a code she left behind. I deciphered it using the melody of her favorite song and got a message: the Remote Heaven Society's next target, the second Four Heavenly Divine Pillars, is in the France capital."

Heidi, Girl of the Alps in a Parallel World
After the birthday banquet, everyone was completely drunk. Si Ming suggested using Internal Cultivation to counteract the alcohol, but no one seemed to listen. For example, Nie Wanzhi was already passed out on the ground, fast asleep. There was nothing else to do but spend the night at Yuezheng Lineage's mansion.
As Si Ming entered the room, he was about to use his internal energy to expel the smell of alcohol when the door was pushed open. Hongdou, wearing a thin nightgown, burst in. The nightgown, which was originally enough to cover her thighs, had encountered some great obstacle along the way and now only reached her waist, revealing a pair of pink lace panties with cute little bunny patterns on them.
Is the big rabbit on top and the little rabbit on the bottom? Si Ming pondered.
"Go take a shower."
"Uh, I think I was hallucinating just now, I didn't hear clearly, could you say it again?"
"Let's take a bath together!" Hongdou pulled Si Ming towards the room, saying excitedly, "The housekeeper said there's a large bathtub here, perfect for a soak."
"I feel like your logic isn't quite right. What does it have to do with what you're doing now?" Si Ming looked her over. "Your face is still flushed; you seem to be drunk and not sober yet. Go to bed and rest for a bit."
Hongdou pouted and protested, "No, that's not true! I'm perfectly clear-headed right now, my mind works even faster than before. Besides, I drew for three days and three nights straight without taking a shower, so isn't it normal to want to take a shower now?"
"Uh, that's not what I meant. I meant, why did you drag me along?"
"Xiao Ming also smells strongly of alcohol, doesn't he? He should take a bath at this time; it's good for his health. Otherwise, people will call him a slovenly king."
"I don't want to be told that by someone who hasn't showered in three days, and even if that's the case, do we really need to shower together?"
"We can shower together, that saves time... Ah," Hongdou seemed to remember something and said apologetically, "Could it be that Xiao Ming is ashamed because his penis is too small, which is why he doesn't want to shower together? Actually, it's okay. I read in a book that the important thing is technique. Length is actually a very secondary factor, because most women's sensitive spots are located further out, and if a man's penis is too long, it will actually make him feel uncomfortable."
"What kind of book are you reading! And it has absolutely nothing to do with this. On the contrary, I'm quite confident in this area, after all, I'm on the path of body refinement, and I've grown in 'all aspects.' If I were to put on women's clothes, I'd be a super cute girl... Hey, what did you make me say?!"
Any man, when questioned about his abilities in this area, would instinctively refute it. After a series of rants, Si Ming finally came to his senses, realized what he had said, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "Why do you have to shower with me? Don't you think it's weird to shower with a guy?"
Hongdou said confidently, "I don't want to shower with boys, I want to shower with Xiao Ming."
Si Ming was speechless. Now that things had come to this point, if he refused again, it would really prove that he had a deficiency in that area. He wasn't some useless harem guy in a Japanese manga who, due to some tacit rule, could only sheathe his weapons no matter how great the temptation. If it was a matter of mutual consent, he would charge forward alone.
The Yuezheng Lineage's mansion was indeed fully equipped. It was more like a bathhouse than a bathroom. There was a 20-square-meter changing room at the entrance of the bathroom, with all kinds of changing toiletries on both sides: shower caps, towels, shower gel, rose petals... even swimsuits were available, which shows how big the bathroom was.
"Wearing a swimsuit to shower at home? What kind of mentality is that? I can't understand the thinking of rich people."
Si Ming stared at the rather daring black swimsuit for a while, then turned his head and saw a sea of white that almost blinded him.
