Mo Yunxuan noticed that Qiu Ziqin's entire demeanor had changed.

From her original dignified, grand, and elegant presence, she had become gloomy and sinister.

If Mo Yunxuan hadn't been standing in front of her and sensing no soul fluctuations, He would have thought Qiu Ziqin had been possessed!

However, to be safe, Mo Yunxuan opened his System panel.

[Name: Qiu Ziqin] [Faction: Dagan Dynasty Wei State Duke Mansion] [Cultivation: Early Void Refinement Realm] [Cultivation Method: Xuan Yin Scripture...] [Loyalty: 100]

Looking at the information on Qiu Ziqin's panel, Not only had her faction changed to Wei State Duke Mansion, but her loyalty was also maxed out.

This greatly surprised Mo Yunxuan.

One had to know that the information on this panel could directly reflect a person's truest inner thoughts.

In other words, without her realizing it, Qiu Ziqin had instantly become his loyal subordinate.

This was somewhat unexpected for him.

He had originally just wanted to toy with her and then casually kill her.

Now that she had become a loyal subordinate, he found it hard to go through with it!

Under Mo Yunxuan's undisguised fiery gaze, Qiu Ziqin's body inexplicably felt a burning heat she had never experienced before.

Her legs seemed to lose strength, and she sat down on her calves.

But her Square Inch Land felt itchy, making her want to shift left and right.

Mo Yunxuan noticed Qiu Ziqin's fidgeting and remembered Ye Chen's presence.

He looked at the somewhat dazed Qiu Ziqin and reminded her, "It's your turn now, Qiu Nu."

This address, "Qiu Nu," made Qiu Ziqin tremble all over, As comfortable as drinking ice water on a sweltering summer day.

Perhaps she was ill...

However, as a slave, she should obediently follow her Master's decisions.

Meeting Mo Yunxuan's gaze, Qiu Ziqin reached down and picked up the long saber from the ground.

She slowly stood up and walked towards Ye Chen behind her.

Ye Chen looked at the expressionless Qiu Ziqin and seemed to understand her decision.

But he still forced a stiff and ugly smile, pleading, "Master, I am your favorite disciple! You wouldn't bear to kill me, right?"

"Master, please, just let me go this once! Disciple knows he was wrong, truly knows he was wrong!"

"Master, I just want to live! What's wrong with that? If anyone's wrong, it's you for not being willing to put aside your pride and ask the Duke of Wei..."

"Damn it, Qiu Ziqin, if you dare to kill me, I won't rest even as a ghost!"

"Just you wait! My cousin is a core disciple of Yaochi Holy Land, she will definitely avenge me!"

Qiu Ziqin walked towards Ye Chen step by step.

Watching Ye Chen's expression change from pleading to hysterical, A sense of pleasure suddenly surged in her heart. Ye Chen's despair acted like a catalyst, Making her feel much more comfortable, both physically and mentally.

This made Qiu Ziqin excited, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"This is the first time I've found appreciating someone's despair so interesting."

"What a pity, I still need to take your head to report to Master. I can't keep Master waiting for too long."

Qiu Ziqin walked up to Ye Chen, thinking of Mo Yunxuan behind her, and mumbled regretfully.

Little did she know, None of the cultivators around were below the Early Void Refinement Realm.

No matter how quiet her voice was, they could all hear it clearly.

Hong Yu and Qing Li looked at her in astonishment, as if they were meeting her for the first time.

Mo Yunxuan showed a look of understanding.

However, he was quite interested in Ye Chen's cousin.

In the virtual script, Due to popular demand from readers, we are now introducing the VIP Member ad-free feature.

Click to view.

Ye Chen's cousin's name was Xiao Yumei. As Ye Chen's childhood friend from a distant branch of the family, her heart was naturally devoted to Ye Chen.

Moreover, she was stunningly beautiful and possessed an elegant, ethereal demeanor.

The most crucial point was her exceptional talent. By the time Ye Chen became a great general in the later stages, Xiao Yumei had already become the Saintess of the Yaochi Holy Land, with her cultivation reaching the Mid Void Refinement Realm.

Mid Void Refinement Realm before the age of 30. If nothing unexpected happened, she had a complete chance of breaking through to the Mahayana Realm.

Even in the virtual script, Ye Chen, with his numerous fortuitous encounters and the support of various major powers, had only barely reached her level. This was enough to show how strong her cultivation was.

"If I were to plant a Slave Seal on Xiao Yumei, it should be quite interesting, shouldn't it?"

Mo Yunxuan looked at Ye Chen with a meaningful gaze.

However, Qiu Ziqin could not see their expressions.

At this moment, she only felt that Ye Chen was too noisy, and it would be bad if he disturbed her Master.

"Since that's the case, then please die quickly!"

Qiu Ziqin no longer hesitated, instantly unleashing her Early Void Refinement Realm cultivation.

She brandished the long saber in her hand, transforming into a flash of blade light.

But upon closer inspection, it seemed as if she hadn't moved at all.

Ye Chen, seeing that he was unharmed, wanted to continue his curses.

But as he opened his mouth, blood surged from it.

His vision began to slide downwards until it fell to the ground, and his consciousness plunged into darkness.

Qiu Ziqin looked with satisfaction at the corpse of Ye Chen, separated at the neck.

However, when she saw Ye Chen's head, she immediately became troubled.

Her body could only belong to her Master; no one else was allowed to touch it.

Even the corpse was the same!

Just as she was struggling, she suddenly saw the long sabers in the hands of the surrounding officers.

So, she thrust the long saber in her hand downwards, piercing Ye Chen's head.

Then, she quickly raised the saber to prevent it from slipping. Once it was stable.

She walked with a cat-like gait and quickly approached Mo Yunxuan, bowing respectfully.

"Master, Qiu Nu has completed your task."

Mo Yunxuan watched Qiu Ziqin holding Ye Chen's head aloft like a torch, his mouth twitching.

But seeing her blinking eyes, like a little girl asking for a reward, he couldn't bring himself to utter words of reprimand.

He forced himself to say: "Well done."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziqin became as happy as a child who had eaten honey.

The long saber in her hand wagged back and forth like a dog's tail.

Mo Yunxuan subtly took a step back and said with feigned aloofness, "Go and burn Ye Chen's corpse."

Hearing Mo Yunxuan's command, Qiu Ziqin's left hand instantly ignited with a flame.

She casually threw it behind her, landing precisely on Ye Chen's corpse and igniting a conflagration.

Then, she flicked her right hand, and the head on the saber fell into the fiery pile.

Throughout the entire process, her eyes never left Mo Yunxuan, as if she would die if she couldn't see him for a second.

Mo Yunxuan remained silent.

While observing the situation in the conflagration, he took Qing Li's small hand and began to play with it.

Qing Li hadn't expected him to hold her hand in front of Hong Yu.

She immediately became shy and dared not look at anyone, playing with her chin.

Hong Yu, standing beside them, immediately widened his eyes, unable to believe that this was Qing Li!

Although the situation on the scene had twists and turns that shocked her, it was clear the matter was over, and her presence or absence wouldn't change anything.

Taihua Academy's remaining personnel were all wiped out, and Vice Dean Qiu Ziqin voluntarily became a slave.

There were no signs of possession, yet he seemed like a different person.

The Wei State Duke Mansion had achieved a great victory, with not a single person injured.

The hidden strength they revealed was enough to make the entire Dagan Dynasty nervous for three to five years.

But all of this would ultimately be left for the Empress to worry about; she was just an employee.
