Chapter 110: The Four Evils Exit

. Speaking of the Beiming Divine Art, we must mention Zhong Ling.

After obtaining it, Zhong Ling delved into it and chose to abandon her internal energy to cultivate it. Then, with great luck, she successfully absorbed Yun Zhonghe's internal energy, instantly transforming from a mere post-natal novice into a master of the innate realm.

Zhong Ling did not hide the knowledge of the Beiming Divine Art from her mother, Gan Baobao. So, after much deliberation, Gan Baobao chose to follow Zhong Ling's lead and cultivate the Beiming Divine Art.

Of course, although Gan Baobao was only at the ninth level of the post-natal realm, she didn't waste it and allowed her daughter, Zhong Ling, to absorb her internal energy.

As for Zhong Ling's father—er, her adopted father, Zhong Wanchou—Gan Baobao forbad Zhong Ling to tell him about the Beiming Divine Art.

After all, Gan Baobao knew that if Zhong Wanchou truly mastered the Beiming Divine Art, his first target would be the scoundrel Duan Zhengchun.

Zhong Ling was known to be an obedient child. Furthermore, thanks to the diary, she learned that her biological father was actually Duan Zhengchun. Even though Zhong Wanchou treated her well, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful, and ultimately chose to listen to Gan Baobao.

Ultimately, only Zhong Ling and Gan Baobao learned the Beiming Divine Art.

Gan Baobao, however, was far more ruthless than Zhong Ling.

Ever since learning the Beiming Divine Art, she'd been constantly plotting against the Four Evils. More precisely, against the remaining three villains, excluding Yun Zhonghe.

Gan Baobao observed that the three villains didn't seem particularly concerned about the disappearance of the fourth, Yun Zhonghe. This

was likely due to Yun Zhonghe's frequent outings to gather flowers, leaving no one to know when he'd return.

Gan Baobao knew, however, that while the three villains wouldn't immediately suspect Yun Zhonghe was in trouble, they would definitely become suspicious over time.

So, once Gan Baobao was certain the three villains hadn't become alarmed by Yun Zhonghe's disappearance and had gradually become accustomed to the Wanjie Valley's food, becoming less wary of its offerings, he

took action, drugging their food .

He used the most potent drug, which Gan Baobao had retrieved from Yun Zhonghe's corpse.

Suddenly,

Yue Lao San, the Crocodile God of the South China Sea, dove headfirst into the plate in front of him.

"Huh? Yue Lao San, what are you doing?" Ye Er Niang frowned at Yue Lao San's behavior, a hint of disgust evident. After all, Yue Lao San's attack had splattered the soup everywhere, even onto Ye Er Niang.

"Not good—" a hoarse voice rang out from Duan Yanqing's lower abdomen, but it only uttered those two words, as he was no longer able to channel his inner energy and ventriloquism.

"Boss, you—"

With a thud, Ye Er Niang collapsed onto the table.

Watching the third and second brothers collapse one after another, even his own mind was clouded. Duan Yanqing was filled with anger, but Yun Zhonghe's drug was too strong. Even Duan Yanqing, a master of the ninth level of the Xiantian realm and teetering on the brink of Grandmaster status, was powerless to resist it, and could only collapse limply on the table.

At this moment, Gan Baobao walked in. Seeing the three drugged villains, Gan Baobao's face was full of joy, his eyes full of excitement.

"Zhong Ling, Ye Er Niang is yours. Duan Yanqing and Yue Lao San will be left to me." Gan Baobao immediately divided the three villains.

"Okay, mother." Zhong Ling had no objection to this division.

After all, it was Gan Baobao who had drugged the three villains. Moreover, she had already absorbed Yun Zhonghe's true energy, so it was more than enough to absorb Ye Er Niang's true energy.

Gan Baobao reached out and grabbed Duan Yanqing's shoulders with excitement.

Just as Gan Baobao grabbed Duan Yanqing's shoulder, Duan Yanqing, seemingly unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes and attempted to use the One Finger of Sun, aiming at Gan Baobao.

However, just as Duan Yanqing was about to strike, he suddenly felt his Qi draining out uncontrollably, preventing him from using the One Finger of Sun. Finally, he succumbed to the effects of the drug and passed out.

It turned out that Duan Yanqing had been feigning unconsciousness, trying to stay awake to gather strength for another attack.

However, Duan Yanqing hadn't anticipated Gan Baobao's mastery of the Northern Ocean Divine Art, which drained his Qi and disrupted its flow, rendering the One Finger of Sun impossible.

While Duan Yanqing wasn't able to harm Gan Baobao, he had dealt him a severe blow. A flicker of relief flashed in his eyes, and he unleashed the full force of the Northern Ocean Divine Art, rapidly draining Duan Yanqing's Qi.

Zhong Ling, standing nearby, was also startled,

especially after learning of the limitations of the Northern Ocean Divine Art.

Zhong Ling's ability to absorb Yun Zhonghe's Qi the first time without incident was due to good luck.

According to the nature of the Beiming Divine Art, it's best to absorb the cultivation level of others gradually, starting from lower to higher. If the target's cultivation level is high, forcing the Qi directly into their body could cause a backflow, ultimately rupturing their meridians.

Yun Zhonghe simply didn't understand the Beiming Divine Art's dynamics. When the Beiming Divine Art attempted to absorb his internal energy, he tried every possible means to control his own Qi, preventing Zhong Ling from draining it.

Consequently, Zhong Ling's absorption rate was slowed. If the Beiming Divine Art's normal Qi absorption rate is 10%, under Yun Zhonghe's control, Zhong Ling's absorption rate was reduced to 5. This, in turn, allowed Zhong Ling to absorb Yun Zhonghe's internal energy smoothly and safely.

If Yun Zhonghe hadn't exerted such great effort to control his Qi to resist the Beiming Divine Art, Zhong Ling might have been killed at the normal rate of 10. If Yun Zhonghe hadn't controlled Zhong Ling's Qi while she was absorbing it, instead pouring it all into her, she might have burst.

Gan Baobao, to ensure she could absorb Duan Yanqing and the others' Qi more easily, drugged them, rendering them unable to resist. Even so, Gan Baobao still felt considerable strain, even feeling as if she were about to burst. After

finally absorbing all of Duan Yanqing's Qi, Gan Baobao immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, her meridians stretched and torn by the Qi. Fortunately, the damage wasn't too serious, but Gan Baobao couldn't use her Qi anymore, requiring a month or so of recuperation.

A flicker of regret flashed in Gan Baobao's eyes. She should have first sought out less powerful individuals and absorbed their inner strength, building up her cultivation before absorbing the Qi of a master like Duan Yanqing.

Unfortunately, Gan Baobao's mind was preoccupied with the Four Evils, and she hadn't considered this aspect.

Well, another reason was that Zhong Ling had sucked Yun Zhonghe out the first time, which was why Gan Baobao was so careless.

"Mom, are you okay?" Seeing Gan Baobao vomiting blood, Zhong Ling asked hurriedly with concern.

"No, it's okay. I just didn't expect Duan Yanqing to be so powerful. I can't handle Yue Lao San's Qi, so I'll leave Ye Er Niang and Yue Lao San to you," Gan Baobao said to Zhong Ling with some resignation.

"Okay. Leave these two to me."

Zhong Ling, at her Xiantian realm, began absorbing the Qi of Ye Er Niang and Yue Lao San.

Yue Lao San and Ye Er Niang were both quite powerful, both at the eighth level of Xiantian. With Zhong Ling's Xiantian cultivation, she was able to suppress their Qi. Soon, Zhong Ling absorbed their Qi and refined it. After successfully absorbing it, the Qi within her body became incredibly rich, reaching the ninth level of Xiantian, just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Grandmaster realm.

After absorbing the Qi of the three evil men, Gan Baobao immediately killed them and buried them alongside Yun Zhonghe.

Gan Baobao didn't spread the news that they had killed the four evil men.

Mainly because Wanjie Valley didn't need such fame at the moment. Furthermore, the North Sea Divine Art absorbs the inner energy of others and makes it one's own. If word of this were to spread, she, Zhong Ling, and even the entire Myriad Tribulation Valley would be doomed.

After all, whoever possessed the North Sea Divine Art would become a public enemy of the martial arts world

if it were known. It would be like Ren Woxing, the leader of the Demonic Cult, or Zhu Wusi, who kept his inner energy absorption secret. Even the Xiaoyao Sect, whose martial arts, the North Sea Divine Art, was kept secret from outsiders.

In short, Gan Baobao had a clear mind and knew to keep the North Sea Divine Art secret.

Of course, there was also the fact that Gan Baobao was a traditional woman, her world focused primarily on romance and love, and she didn't care about the Jianghu or reputation.

In fact, Gan Baobao practiced the North Sea Divine Art because she hoped her martial arts skills would improve, allowing her to seek out Duan Zhengchun in Dali and avoid many obstacles.

But ultimately, the Four Evils' fall in Myriad Tribulation Valley was a good thing! After all, the reason they earned the title of the Four Evils was that they weren't inherently good people.

Yun Zhonghe was a flower thief, having ruined countless girls' innocence at his hands.

Yue Lao San was a moody man, murdering when he was upset, celebrating when he was happy, and snapping heads at will.

Ye Erniang was even more sinful, killing a baby every day. She'd been doing this almost non-stop for over twenty years, ever since her son was abducted. It's easy to imagine she'd killed nearly ten thousand babies. Even in the world of immortal cultivation, killing ten thousand babies would be enough to make one a major villain.

Duan Yanqing, on the other hand, despite being the leader of the Four Evils, wasn't as evil as the other three.

Duan Yanqing's murders were actually revenge for those who had pursued him in the past. His deep hatred meant he'd kill everyone he targeted, earning him the nickname "Full of Evil." Essentially, Duan Yanqing was just seeking revenge, and he barely managed to avoid killing innocent people. Well, barely.

But no matter what the circumstances or the reasons, the Four Evils will be gone from here.

...

"I want to find my cousin--" Wang Yuyan said weakly to Mu Wanqing.

"No man is a good thing. Your cousin is even less so." Mu Wanqing said bluntly.

"I don't allow you to say that about my cousin."

"Hehe, from what you said, it's clear that your cousin only came to you to practice martial arts. He doesn't have any real feelings for you."

"No, it's not like that."

"Pa--" Mu Wanqing slapped Wang Yuyan in the face: "Don't be silly, wake up."

"You, you--" Wang Yuyan covered her face, looking at Mu Wanqing with tears in her eyes.

"If you weren't my sister, I wouldn't bother with you." Mu Wanqing snorted coldly. 

"Azhu, where are you going?" 

"I'm going to Mantuo Villa to see my cousin." 

"Azhu, why would you want to see my cousin? Aren't you afraid of my aunt?"

" Well, as long as we're careful and don't get caught, everything will be fine!" 

... 

The next day, Ye Xiu and Huang Rong woke up early, had breakfast and dinner, and after a quick inquiry about the situation in Jingzhou City, they began to leave. 

The security in Jingzhou City was indeed much stricter than before. 

However, the people Jingzhou City was looking for were Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua. 

So, despite being a man and a woman, Huang Rong and Ye Xiu looked completely different, and with a little money, they were able to leave Jingzhou City without any problems. 

Shortly after Ye Xiu and Huang Rong left Jingzhou City, Dongfang Bubai, dressed in red, arrived. 

With Dongfang Bubai's strength, even if she hadn't deliberately concealed her identity, she was almost invisible until she arrived at the prefectural government office in Jingzhou City. 

"Who are you?" Ling Tui Si suddenly noticed Dongfang Bubai and was slightly startled. He hadn't noticed Dongfang Bubai's appearance, which meant he was a master, a serious threat to him. 

"Are you Ling Tui Si?" 

"Yes, it's me. This young lady—" 

"Since you're Ling Tui Si, you can die now." Dongfang Bubai flicked his wrist, and an embroidery needle had already pierced Ling Tui Si's forehead. 

A streak of crimson appeared between Ling Tui Si's eyebrows. 

"Ah! The prefect is dead." 

"There's an assassin, there's an assassin!" 

"She killed the prefect!" 

"Quick, catch her!" 

In full view of the crowd, Dongfang Bubai killed Ling Tui Si with a flick of his finger, and Ling Tui Si's men naturally couldn't help but shout. 

Of course, few dared to attack. They just shouted slogans loudly, but most of them turned and fled. 

Dongfang Bubai didn't care about these clowns at all. She even had the leisure to explore the back garden. She saw the golden waves that Ye Xiu had mentioned in his diary. 

Of course, Dongfang Bubai didn't care much about poison or anything like that, but since Ye Xiu had mentioned it, Dongfang Bubai wanted to get his hands on it. 

Even if he just wanted to take it back as a bonsai, Dongfang 

Bubai wanted to take it back. So, Dongfang Bubai came to Jingzhou City, killed Ling Tui Si, took away a few pots of Jinbo Xun flowers, and then Dongfang Bubai left Jingzhou City... 

The whole process was so fast. 

Ye Xiu and Huang Rong heard the news of Ling Tui Si's murder not long after they left Jingzhou City. 

"Ling Tui Si was killed?" Ye Xiu was stunned. 

"Yeah, Brother Xiu thought it was a pity to let Ling Tui Si go yesterday, but he was killed today. It's really beyond our expectations." Huang Rong exclaimed with a bit of criticism.

"Um, Rong'er, what's with your tone? It seems strange?" Ye Xiu couldn't help but glance at Huang Rong.

"Hehe, I'm just too surprised," Huang Rong laughed, her voice regaining its usual lively charm, as melodious as a lark.

"It's indeed quite surprising. I just don't know who killed Ling Tui Si." A figure flashed through Ye Xiu's mind.

The news that had just arrived stated that the person who killed Ling Tui Si was a woman, a woman in a long red dress. She was incredibly beautiful, even so beautiful that she gave off an air of dominance. Even her voice tinged with dominance.

Upon seeing Ling Tui Si, she killed him with just two simple words and then calmly departed, even taking a few pots of flowers with her.

Just as Ye Xiu pondered this news, the figure in his mind becoming clearer and clearer, a woman in red appeared before him.

"Huh?" Ye Xiu stared at the woman as she passed by.

Dressed in a long red gown, beautiful, and possessed of a certain dominance—wasn't this the woman rumored to have killed Ling Tui Si?

Of course, the most important thing was that Ye Xiu knew this woman very well, for she was Dongfang Bubai.

As if hearing Ye Xiu's exclamation, Dongfang Bubai, who had just passed by Ye Xiu, turned around and glanced at him. As if realizing there was someone familiar here, he flipped in mid-air, and the next moment, Dongfang Bubai was standing before Ye Xiu.

"Miss Dongfang. Long time no see," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Dongfang Bubai glanced at Ye Xiu with a seemingly cold expression, then glanced at Huang Rong, who was standing next to Ye Xiu.

Huang Rong, noticing Dongfang Bubai's gaze, stuck out her tongue with a smile, her face showing no fear.

"This is Miss Huang Rong," Ye Xiu said, quickly introducing Huang Rong, then adding, "This is Miss Dongfang."

"No need, Brother Xiu, to introduce me. I've met Sister Dongfang before," Huang Rong said with a smile, somewhat frankly confessing her relationship with Dongfang Bubai.
