Chapter 228 Reigning Supreme.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully substituting Li for Tao and capturing Duan Zhengchun, and winning over Qin Hongmian. Reward: Peak Martial Arts Sword Intent - Reign Over the World."
Cough cough, Yang Ke didn't expect the reward to be so extravagant, but all he could say was, it's really good.
On the second day, Qin Hongmian had the idea of running away.
Since Yang Ke couldn't stay with Duan Zhengchun every day, and Ruan Xingzhu hadn't arrived yet, Qin Hongmian naturally had to suffer.
Qin Hongmian used to dislike Ruan Xingzhu because Ruan Xingzhu was the one Duan Zhengchun favored the most among them.
Because she lived by Xiaojing Lake, Duan Zhengchun would always go to see her first whenever he left Dali, which naturally made others jealous.
But this time, when Qin Hongmian saw Ruan Xingzhu arrive, she felt an overwhelming excitement, like seeing a family member, because...
"Congratulations, host, on successfully winning over Ruan Xingzhu. You will be rewarded with +3 to all attributes. If you unlock special achievements, you will receive a second reward."
The system only offers a generous reward for the first time in the "substituting one thing for another" scenario; the second time, the system doesn't give any substantial reward. However, the system's subsequent statement is quite meaningful.
As for how to unlock special achievements, Yang Ke knew exactly what it was all about as soon as he heard it.
Ruan Xingzhu was also surprised, but Yang Ke's excuse was indeed useful. Moreover, Ruan Xingzhu was the most cunning among these people. She thought that with Dao Baifeng leaving, everyone else would be on the same starting line as her.
If she could give birth to a son for Duan Zhengchun first, then she would become the empress.
Under these circumstances, Yang Ke stayed at Duan Zhengchun's residence for a full five days before leaving.
As for Duan Zhengchun, Yang Ke implanted the memories of this period into him, then made him weak and powerless before successfully retiring.
Anyway, Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu have already received their rewards, so they can come over later.
"Yu Yan, let's go."
"Wanqing, I'll be leaving Xiaoyao Valley for a while. Please make proper arrangements here, as this will be our permanent residence from now on."
"If you are missing anything, just take this token to the Dali Royal Palace and have someone send it to you."
Yang Ke told Wang Yuyan about going to Leigu Mountain, and then explained it to Mu Wanqing.
After agreeing on the terms, Yang Ke took Wang Yuyan and the other woman and set off together.
Although Wang Yuyan hadn't forgotten Murong Fu, after what happened with Azhu and Abi, and with her understanding of Murong Fu, she roughly guessed that Murong Fu had also intended to give her to Yang Ke back then.
Although Wang Yuyan has a crush on Murong Fu, Yang Ke has a better temperament.
Besides having many women around him, Murong Fu's personality—always focused on his career—naturally wouldn't be liked by Wang Yuyan over time, which is why Wang Yuyan is currently struggling with this dilemma.
Wang Yuyan was lost in thought inside the carriage, while Yang Ke was contemplating.
The newly acquired sword intent, "Reign Supreme," is quite powerful. However, Yang Ke doesn't have much knowledge of sword techniques, so he had to select a few from his memory to try.
The advantage of this "Dominating the World" sword intent is that it enhances Yang Ke's aura and is suitable for a bold and expansive style. Therefore, he temporarily uses the Flaming Blade technique as his core sword martial art.
The Flaming Blade was Kumārajīva's specialty. He used it many times because it was such a powerful and lethal technique that it was virtually indestructible.
In the drama, when they were at Shaolin Temple, Kumārajīva ambushed Duan Yu with a flaming saber. If Duan Yu hadn't had profound internal strength, he would probably have been finished. As long as you have a good saber, and you can use the saber intent after using the flaming saber, then Yang Ke's attack power would be terrifying.
It is known that the Sweeper Monk's invisible shield is the Buddhist Golden Bell Shield, which is extremely resistant.
Having spent years immersed in the Sutra Repository, this martial arts sweeper monk had developed a natural protective aura surrounding himself, making even Qiao Feng's full-force attack, the "Kanglong Youhui" (Dragon's Regret), at the Grandmaster level, ineffective against him.
The road to Leigu Mountain wasn't too far, as it was all in Dali. However, the ancient mountain was indeed troublesome, especially since Wang Yuyan was delicate and frail.
"Junior brother, you're back."
Su Xinghe was also very happy to see Yang Ke return.
With Yang Ke by his side, Wu Yazi naturally didn't need to set up any special chess puzzles, but could instead wait patiently for Yang Ke to return from his training.
Wu Yazi had Su Xinghe gather information about Yang Ke's activities in the martial arts world recently. Upon learning that Yang Ke's strength had reached the level of the number one among the younger generation, Wu Yazi was greatly pleased.
"Senior brother, how is Master?"
Yang Ke asked about Su Xinghe.
Both of them were Wu Yazi's closest confidants, so they naturally knew about Wu Yazi's situation.
"It's not good. Master keeps asking me, 'Junior Brother, when are you coming back?'"
Su Xinghe shook his head, indicating that Wu Yazi's condition was very bad.
"Okay, then, senior brother, I'll go check on Master first."
Yang Ke nodded, indicating that he wanted to go in and see Wu Yazi.
There are several reasons why Wu Yazi hid in the cave. In the past, he was worried about Ding Chunqiu. In addition, as the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, it would be bad if Ding Chunqiu were crippled.
The next part is that he was about to die, so he decided to stay in the cave to save face, which was better than having his last moments witnessed by others.
"Master, I'm back."
Yang Ke greeted Wu Yazi, whose inner energy was extremely weak.
"Well, it's good that you're back. You can stay here for a while before you leave this time."
Wu Yazi didn't mention that he was about to pass away, but instead gestured for Yang Ke to stay and keep him company for a while.
"Yes, Master. I brought someone with me this time. I'm sure you'd like to meet her. She is..."
Yang Ke told Wu Yazi about Wang Yuyan.
“Good disciple, you’re so thoughtful. Let her in, I want to talk to her for a bit.”
Wu Yazi patted Yang Ke's hand and thanked him.
Seeing his granddaughter before his death cheered Wu Yazi up considerably.
Yang Ke nodded and called Wang Yuyan, who was waiting outside.
She already knew Wu Yazi's true identity from Yang Ke. She wasn't actually unable to accept having an extra maternal grandfather; she was just curious about what kind of person Wu Yazi was.
Yang Ke didn't know what Wu Yazi and Wang Yuyan talked about, but when she came out, there were obvious tear stains in the corners of her eyes, so she must have known about Wu Yazi's impending death.
"Don't be sad. Your master is already very lucky to be able to see you at the end."
Yang Ke's statement is correct.
If it weren't for this variable, Wu Yazi would have only been able to pass on his internal energy to Xu Zhu, who would have been extremely dissatisfied with it.
He took the inheritance of the Xiaoyao Sect back to Shaolin to become a monk, which almost made Wuyazi die with regrets.
"Yes, I just feel sorry for my grandfather. That Ding Chunqiu is too awful."
After learning about Wu Yazi's disability from him, Wang Yuyan immediately felt indignant and sympathetic.
Fortunately, she knew that Yang Ke was very skilled in martial arts, so she wasn't too upset.
A few days later, Wu Yazi's life came to an end, and he called Yang Ke and Wang Yuyan into the cave.
The reason Wang Yuyan was also invited in was because Yang Ke told Wu Yazi that he should use his internal energy on Wang Yuyan.
Anyway, Wang Yuyan has high martial arts knowledge, but no internal strength, so learning the Beiming Divine Skill is just right.
