Tian Boguang hadn't finished speaking when a white rainbow suddenly burst from the room. By the time Yilin reacted, Wang Jingyuan was already holding his sword, and she had no idea when he had drawn it.

As for Tian Boguang, who was sitting on a chair, blood was flowing from his arms and legs. It looked like Wang Jingyuan had just severed all his tendons and sinews.

He wiped the sword's edge with his hand, finding no trace of blood. Confirming that his current mastery of Bixie Swordplay had improved significantly since he first started learning it, Wang Jingyuan sheathed his sword and sat opposite Tian Boguang. "So, men should be clear-headed and not be dominated by desire. See? Now that you've detached from desire, your wisdom has regained the high ground, hasn't it?"

Facing death, Tian Boguang appeared very calm. "Wine, lust, wealth, and anger – how many people can truly overcome them? I am finally at peace now, without fear or dread, but I also know this is only temporary. As long as I can escape this ordeal and recover, I will soon be back to my old self."

A hint of purple flashed across Wang Jingyuan's face as he reached out and pressed Tian Boguang's dantian. When Wang Jingyuan used to read martial arts novels, he never quite understood how Internal Energy cultivated from the same martial arts could be like adrenaline when injected into someone else during a rescue, but like cyanide when injected into an enemy during a contest of Internal Energy.

Now that Wang Jingyuan cultivated Internal Energy himself, he finally understood. This Internal Energy is like water; if it flows slowly, it is the source of life that nourishes all beings.

But if you increase the pressure and add some sand, it can become an unstoppable weapon.

Just like now.

Wang Jingyuan's Internal Energy was shallow, but after the ordeal, Tian Boguang had no strength left, let alone Internal Energy. Without any resistance, Wang Jingyuan shattered his dantian with his Internal Energy.

Blood seeped from the corner of Tian Boguang's mouth. He looked weakly at Wang Jingyuan. "You severed my tendons and sinews and crippled my martial arts. If you're not going to spare me, then you intend to torture me.

Make me understand something. Do we have any enmity?"

Wang Jingyuan shook his head. "No enmity, but I will still kill you."

Tian Boguang was about to say something else when the door to the private room was pushed open. Linghu Chong walked in, his hair still damp, apparently having successfully suppressed his desires with a cold shower.

Seeing Tian Boguang, whose body was half-covered in blood, he hurried over. "Brother Tian, what happened to you?"

Tian Boguang smiled at him. "I'm just about to die."

Linghu Chong examined Tian Boguang's injuries and then looked at Wang Jingyuan. "Junior Disciple Brother, Brother Tian is not without honor. Besides, he spared me once before. Now that you've crippled his martial arts, can you spare him?"

Wang Jingyuan looked at Linghu Chong and pondered for a moment. Linghu Chong was, after all, the protagonist, destined to become a prominent figure in the Jianghu. He would undoubtedly benefit from him in the future.

Gaining some favor with him now would be all to the good, so he nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll give Senior Disciple Brother face."

Saying that, Wang Jingyuan placed his hand on Tian Boguang's body, and a purple hue reappeared on his face. Linghu Chong was startled. He had seen Yue Buqun use the Zixia Divine Skill.

Among the Nine Skills of Mount Hua, Zixia was first. The Zixia Divine Skill was the treasure of the Mount Hua Sect, only to be learned by the Sect Leader. Now that Junior Disciple Brother Wang had been taught the Zixia Divine Skill by Master, did it mean that Master had chosen Junior Disciple Brother Wang as the next Sect Leader?

Linghu Chong had no aspirations for the position of Sect Leader, so he didn't feel jealous. He was just surprised that his Junior Disciple Brother, who had only recently joined the sect, was being so hastily designated as the next Sect Leader.

Before he could ponder for long, he was startled by the sound of Tian Boguang's body hitting the floor.

[Zixia Divine Skill Proficiency +20]

Linghu Chong stared at Tian Boguang, lying lifeless on the ground, stunned. Yilin was also stunned. Even though Tian Boguang had intended to violate her, she, a saintly figure, had never wished for Tian Boguang's death.

Linghu Chong looked at Wang Jingyuan in disbelief. When he first heard Wang Jingyuan agree to spare Tian Boguang, even seeing Wang Jingyuan use Zixia true qi, he thought Wang Jingyuan intended to heal Tian Boguang with it.

Furthermore, he was shocked to learn that Wang Jingyuan had already cultivated the Zixia Divine Skill, so he hadn't realized Wang Jingyuan was preparing to kill Tian Boguang with his Internal Energy. By the time he reacted, Tian Boguang was already dead.

Linghu Chong questioned, "Junior Disciple Brother, didn't you promise to spare Brother Tian?!"

Wang Jingyuan nodded. "That's right. I did spare him. I expended my Internal Energy to directly shatter his heart meridian, and he died peacefully without suffering any pain. Senior Disciple Brother, remember you owe me a favor."

Linghu Chong was confused. "Your idea of sparing him was to kill him directly?!"

Wang Jingyuan said matter-of-factly, "Of course. Do you know that Tian Boguang is a high-value target? I originally planned to keep him alive first, and then..."

At this point, Wang Jingyuan glanced at Yilin. "You, cover your ears and go to the inner room. You're known for your discretion, little nun, and you have a good memory. My business plan cannot be overheard by you."

Yilin was a simpleton and did as Wang Jingyuan said. After she entered the inner room, Wang Jingyuan continued, "Then, I'd rent a shop in this Hengyang City. After that, I'd hire some burly male prostitutes. Anyone willing to pay could come in and watch how Tian Boguang is sexually assaulted.

We could even offer different priced packages: single person, multiple people, alternating, or simultaneous. If they paid enough, even beasts wouldn't be out of the question.

Although he's exhausted after today's ordeal, he can still make me a lot of money before he dies. And if he can't perform, his execution rights can be auctioned off, and the disposal rights of his corpse can also be auctioned.

Who told him that many of the girls he harmed were famous daughters of wealthy merchants?"

Hearing Wang Jingyuan enumerate his plan, Linghu Chong staggered back two steps, staring blankly at Wang Jingyuan. He had never imagined that there could be such a wicked person in the world.

"Junior Disciple Brother... you... you... you are a disciple of Mount Hua."

Wang Jingyuan nodded. "Yes, I know. Our Mount Hua Sect's current flagship product is still Master's title of 'Gentleman Sword.'

So, this plan can only be launched under a different guise; it absolutely cannot cause any intangible damage to Master's title. Therefore, this matter must be handled under the name of the Fuwei Escort Agency."

Wang Jingyuan gestured downwards. Faintly, the sounds of Lin Pingzhi's enthusiastic hawking could be heard from below. "The medicine Tian Boguang took was from the Fuwei Escort Agency. The bank notes paid to Qunyu Garden are also special notes issued by the bank to the Fuwei Escort Agency. Even this private room was booked in advance by Little Lin.

Today's capture of Tian Boguang was a complete operation by the Fuwei Escort Agency. We were merely passersby acting out of a sense of justice. Therefore, how the Fuwei Escort Agency deals with Tian Boguang is entirely their prerogative."

Linghu Chong's eyes widened in horror, and he pointed at Wang Jingyuan, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time.

Wang Jingyuan understood. "I get it, you think I'm trying to frame the Fuwei Escort Agency, don't you? How could you think of me that way?! Little Lin is now our Junior Disciple Brother, and the Fuwei Escort Agency is our important strategic partner.

The reason I'm having the Fuwei Escort Agency take the lead is simply because they've never established any 'gentlemanly' persona or corporate culture. They're just a straightforward escort agency.

Even if people hear about it or see it, they'll only say that Young Master Lin is full of wisdom, Manager Lin hates evil like an enemy, and the Fuwei Escort Agency has eliminated a scourge for the people. It will only enhance their reputation, with no other negative impact. It's a win-win situation."

After speaking, Wang Jingyuan winked at Linghu Chong. "I'm giving up on such a promising business plan out of respect for you, Senior Disciple Brother. How will you thank me, Senior Disciple Brother?"
