"Uncle, some things are too troublesome to explain."
"But I truly need to do this right now, so if you have a way, please help Yun'er with this." Chu Yun replied.
Asura Venerable pondered briefly. He understood that everyone had their own secrets, so he chose not to press further.
"If death is the price, then there is indeed one method."
"I can grant her a wisp of my power and forcibly raise her cultivation realm in an instant."
"But in the next moment, her soul will be directly burst apart by that power."
Chu Yun's face lit up at once. "Excellent, that will be enough."
"Uncle, then how far can her cultivation be raised?"
Asura Venerable answered calmly, "Her foundation is too weak, while my power is far too tyrannical. Reaching the Nascent Soul Realm Peak in an instant would already be the limit."
Chu Yun nodded. "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Uncle."
Asura Venerable nodded slightly. His expression turned solemn as he slowly extended a finger, and a stream of Asura True Qi fiercely poured into Ye Wanrou's body.
"Ah!!!"
As the immense energy poured into her from above, Ye Wanrou's soul felt agony as though it were being torn apart. Then, Asura Venerable's power forcibly fused within her body.
In but an instant, Ye Wanrou's realm leaped from the Early Qi Gathering Realm straight to the Nascent Soul Realm Peak!
Yet at that very moment, boundless terrifying blazing light erupted from within her body, piercing through her flesh as endless radiance burst forth.
Boom!!
Ye Wanrou's soul and body were burst apart on the spot by that power, turning to ashes.
Ding! Congratulations, Master. Asura Venerable has killed Ye Wanrou. You have obtained 2,000 Editing Points. System: Master, isn't this a bit too much of a cheat? Ye Wanrou originally had Qi Gathering Realm cultivation. You forcibly raised her to the Nascent Soul Realm before killing her, thereby obtaining Nascent Soul Realm-level Editing Points. This is somewhat divorced from the original intent of raising pigs.
Chu Yun retorted inwardly, "How is this cheating? The pig-raising you mentioned never said I could only raise hatred points. Can't I raise cultivation too?"
"At most, I exploited a bug. Besides, my original purpose in raising pigs was to obtain more Editing Points. That doesn't conflict with forcibly raising a pig's cultivation, so it doesn't violate anything at all!"
System: ...
His mind fell silent. The System had clearly been left speechless by his argument.
"Check how many Editing Points I currently have."
Current total Editing Points: 12,000.
So far, Ye Wanrou still had the highest unit price in Editing Points.
With her hatred value maxed out, even a Nascent Soul Realm Peak cultivator could yield two thousand Editing Points.
Adding those from the entire Ye Family and what he had obtained earlier, he had directly broken ten thousand.
"Besides editing backgrounds, these Editing Points can also be used to exchange for items in the System Shop."
Chu Yun thought about it and decided to deal with that later.
Now that everything had been settled, he first needed to return to the Great Xia Imperial City with his uncle and the others.
"Elder Yang, thank you for leading the way this time."
"I'll have to trouble you to clean up the mess left by the Ye Family."
Chu Yun looked toward Yang Muqian and spoke indifferently.
Yang Muqian immediately smiled warmly. "Rest assured, Your Highness. Leave everything that remains to this old man."
Chu Yun nodded, then looked at Luo Feng and Asura Venerable. "Uncle, let's go. It's time to return."
"Alright."
With a sweep of his hand, Asura Venerable tore open a spatial rift in the Sky Vault and returned to the Great Xia Imperial City with Chu Yun and the Great Xia Shadow Guards.
After Chu Yun and the others departed, Yang Muqian looked down at the Ye residence below, now a complete wreckage. His gaze gradually turned cold. "Where is the Jubei City Lord?!"
"Here, here, here!!"
"I am Xu Jing, City Lord of Jubei City. Greetings, Elder Yang!"
A plain-looking middle-aged man dressed in yellow hurried over, his face somewhat nervous.
As Jubei City Lord, his cultivation had even surpassed Ye Kaishan's, reaching the Shattering Realm.
Yet he still did not dare act presumptuously before Yang Muqian.
Yang Muqian looked at him and immediately ordered, "Sort out everything in the Ye Family treasury. As for the Nine Splendor Sect's things, send someone there as well."
"Once everything has been sorted, deliver it all to Wangxian Commercial Pavilion in the Great Xia Imperial City. Do you understand?"
Xu Jing nodded repeatedly. "Yes. Rest assured, Elder Yang, I will see to it."
Yang Muqian said with satisfaction, "Alright, let's go."
"Farewell, Elder Yang!!" Xu Jing immediately lowered his head and bowed in farewell.
Yang Muqian took the few Wangxian Dao Sect members from earlier and swiftly flew out of Jubei City, heading for the nearest Spatial Teleportation Array leading back to Wangxian Dao Sect.
"Master, why are those things being sent to the commercial pavilion in the Great Xia Imperial City?"
Along the way, Yang Muqian's young disciple could not help asking curiously.
"Those things belong to the Ninth Prince."
"Not only that, I have already sent word back. By the time we return to the sect, I believe the Sect Master will have prepared a generous gift. It will be sent together with those things to the Ninth Prince, to show Wangxian Dao Sect's sincerity."
Yang Muqian had practically decided that Wangxian Dao Sect absolutely had to build a good relationship with Chu Yun.
After disappearing for so many years, his return to the Imperial City was bound to stir up hidden currents!
If Wangxian Dao Sect could lend him some aid at this time, their relationship would surely become even more solid.
"Master, but there's something I don't understand."
"Even with the other Imperial Princes, including the Crown Prince, the sect has never gone all out to curry favor with them. Why has the sect reacted so strongly the moment this Ninth Prince appeared?" his disciple asked again.
"Xiao Ling, you must understand that if the Ninth Prince had not vanished back then, the position of Crown Prince could never have gone to the First Imperial Prince."
"The Ninth Prince's maternal clan is the Shi Family, the foremost family of the Great Xia Dynasty. That alone is enough to contend against the sect standing behind the Empress."
"Moreover, Consort Shi is especially favored by His Majesty the Emperor. Love me, love my dog—this can be seen from the fact that the Great Xia Shadow Guards personally mobilized this time. It is proof enough of His Majesty's extraordinary regard for the Ninth Prince!"
"On top of that, we formed a connection with the Ninth Prince through this matter and witnessed how he handled things earlier. Despite his young age, he possesses the ruthlessness and decisiveness of one in power. Even before a Venerable, he was neither servile nor overbearing, utterly fearless."
"Therefore, befriending him brings the sect nothing but benefits. Perhaps... one day, when he sits in that position, the sect's standing may rise to an entirely new level!"
By the end, Yang Muqian's tone had noticeably grown steadier.
The others beside him were no fools either.
With matters spelled out so plainly, they naturally understood the connections involved.
It could be said that Wangxian Dao Sect's choice to side with Ninth Prince Chu Yun was an enormous gamble!
They were betting that he would favor Wangxian Dao Sect in the future, betting on his influence, betting on his future achievements.
And most importantly, betting that one day, he would become the Great Xia Emperor!!
