Chapter 140: A Woman Not to Be Provoked.

Ning Zhongze, far away in Huashan, blushed again after reading Ye Xiu's diary entry. A wave of shyness welled up within her, even a hint of joy. Of course, she didn't notice this joy, or perhaps she deliberately ignored it.

Ning Zhongze blushed, her entire appearance suddenly becoming as charming as a flower. "This Xiu'er, he's full of nonsense."

Beyond this, Ning Zhongze was even more delighted to learn that Ye Xiu had become associated with Zhang Sanfeng of the Wudang Sect.

From now on, the Huashan Sect had become an ally of the Wudang Sect?

This news was absolutely fantastic for Ning Zhongze!

Previously, Ning Zhongze had only focused on promoting the Huashan Sect. Besides going out with Yue Buqun to kill bandits and robbers, earning a small reputation for the Huashan Sect, she also devoted herself to cultivating disciples. In her

early years, Ning Zhongze's focus, and even her concern, was solely on these two areas.

Later, however, Ning Zhongze learned that the Huashan Sect was in dire straits, with even the Songshan Sect eyeing them covetously. That's when the pressure began to mount.

Ultimately, however, he still had Yue Buqun to support him, so while Ning Zhongze felt immense pressure, he managed to hold on.

It wasn't until later, when the Songshan Sect sent the Whiteboard Evil Star to attack the Huashan Sect, that Ning Zhongze truly felt the pressure and the breath of despair.

Although Ye Xiu's potential was immense, and Ning Zhongze's strength was improving thanks to Ye Xiu's diary, the pressure still didn't ease much. Even though Yue Buqun had castrated himself to cultivate his sword skills and become a Grandmaster, Ye Xiu's diary mentioned in his diary that his gender had changed after practicing the Sword Manual of Exorcism.

So, the pressure on Ning Zhongze was truly immense.

Now, Ning Zhongze had read in the diary that Ye Xiu and Zhang Sanfeng were actually connected, and had even become allies. This moment, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a wave of relief.

Even her inner Qi began to flow more smoothly, even stirring, almost ready to push her through the bottleneck of the next realm. In other words, Ning Zhongze felt like she was on the verge of breaking through to the Grandmaster realm. If she were given a few more days to adjust, she might even be able to break through from the ninth level of the Xiantian realm to the Grandmaster realm.

Noticing this change, Ning Zhongze was even happier. Her hands instinctively clasped the diary in her arms, her eyes vacant for a moment, but before she knew it, a smile had crept onto her face.

…

Yue Lingshan, on the other hand, simply rolled her eyes when she saw Ye Xiu hinting at his feelings for her mother again in the diary.

After all, this wasn't the first time Ye Xiu had written something so carelessly in his diary; she was used to it. After all, Ye Xiu was just writing; he hadn't actually done anything to her mother.

Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai frowned at Ye Xiu's description of them as difficult. After all, it didn't seem like a good thing to say.

They were planning a nighttime attack on Ye Xiu to vent their frustration.

But as they left, they ran into each other again at Ye Xiu's door. Their faces darkened, and they resumed their exchange. In the blink of an eye, they were outside the city, where they engaged in a ferocious exchange.

The clash between two Grandmasters, even outside the city, attracted considerable attention. Some even wondered if it was the reappearance of Rama's remains, otherwise why would such masters engage in such a fierce battle?

...

Jiang Yuyan, flipping through her diary, saw her name mentioned in today's entry, and her expression changed.

"So, in fact, I wasn't mistaken? That person is really the one who wrote the diary?" Jiang Yuyan looked stunned, then sighed.

She had clearly found the person, even started chatting him up, but somehow, because of her own cleverness, she had missed the opportunity.

Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but shake her head. She decided to go find Ye Xiu again tomorrow and definitely not be as impulsive as she was today.

However, Jiang Yuyan still couldn't understand why she couldn't bring up the diary with Ye Xiu, even though it was clearly written by him. Although Jiang Yuyan couldn't understand, she knew that Ye Xiu, as a person, couldn't know anything about the diary.

Besides the information about herself, Jiang Yuyan couldn't help but observe the names of the women mentioned in the diary.

Jiang Yuyan wrote them down one by one, even planning to write them down in more detail. She wanted to use Ye Xiu's descriptions of these women to determine his level of affection or dislike for them.

After all, for Jiang Yuyan, many of them might be potential enemies.

Next door, watching Zeng Jing, her husband now asleep, she couldn't help but pull out the diary once more.

Of course, Zeng Jing hadn't known at this point that the diary would be updated daily. She simply couldn't help but read through its contents a few more times, to see if there was anything else mentioned about her, or perhaps to see if her peaceful life would be disrupted.

But when Zeng Jing saw the new entry, she was shocked, her pupils constricting violently. If it weren't for the calmness cultivated by years as a killer, she would have probably jumped out of her skin.

Zeng Jing instinctively turned back to look at Jiang Asheng lying in bed. Seeing him still, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression became complicated. If Jiang Asheng was just Jiang Asheng, without any other identity, how wonderful it would be? She could continue to live an ordinary life with him. But—

Zeng Jing couldn't help but look at the diary again, wanting to see what this new entry was, and whether it had anything to do with her.

It was obvious that Ye Xiu's diary didn't mention anything about her or Jiang Asheng.

Instead, it was Jiang Yuyan, the name that came up again in Ye Xiu's diary.

"Jiang Yuyan—could the Jiang Yuyan mentioned earlier in the diary be the Jiang Yuyan next door?" Zeng Jing couldn't help but frown. She felt that perhaps Jiang Yuyan herself represented trouble. After all, judging by the diary, Jiang Yuyan was no pushover.

"Perhaps, I've mistaken her for someone else," Zeng Jing couldn't help but recall the information she'd received about Jiang Yuyan. Jiang Yuyan seemed truly a delicate and timid woman.

However, many of the details mentioned in the diary made her wary.

"Forget it, let's wait and see. If it really is a problem, I can just move if necessary." Zeng Jing shook her head. She was now a complete opposite of her former self, and her murderous intent had been significantly diminished.

However, this time, she was taking Jiang Yuyan next door seriously.

...

"Huh? Whose belongings were these?" In a certain mountain village, a strikingly beautiful woman curiously examined the black diary in her hands.

This woman was incredibly beautiful, dressed in an apricot-yellow shirt, a white silk waistband, her eyes as radiant as autumn water, and her eyebrows reaching her temples. It could be said that even in the entire martial arts world, she was undoubtedly considered a peerless beauty .

This woman was the leader of this mountain stronghold

and the outlaws of southern Shaanxi—Lian Nishang. Although Lian Nishang was incredibly beautiful, she was unassuming and unassuming, not even a hint of feminine delicacy. Instead, she enjoyed hearty drinks and meats with her fellow stronghold members.

So, when she found this black diary,

she thought it was written by one of the stronghold members. When Lian Nishang opened it and discovered it was a diary, she couldn't help but think about finding the owner tomorrow and teasing him. After all, who would write a diary? Especially since this was a stronghold of outlaws.

However, when Lian Nishang, with a touch of amusement, flipped through the diary, she discovered it might not have been written by a brother from the village.

The diary's perspective suggested a disciple of the Huashan Sect.

Lian Nishang, however, completely doubted that a disciple of a prestigious sect like the Huashan Sect could exist within her village.

"Perhaps the brothers happened to rob a Huashan disciple during their robbery," Lian Nishang thought, and her heart felt even less burdened.

Since the diary's owner wasn't one of her brothers, she had even less to worry about.

Furthermore, much of the information contained in the diary amused Lian Nishang.

For example, the "Exorcism Sword Manual" and the "Sunflower Manual" required castration to practice.

Lian Nishang even considered taking the "Exorcism Sword Manual" back, copying hundreds, thousands, or even more copies of the martial arts manual, and then releasing them into the jianghu. She wanted to see if the vast number of people in the martial arts world would be tempted by it.

Thinking about it this way, Lian Nishang felt that this was truly quite amusing.

"Unfortunately, the old house in Xiangyang Lane, Fujian—it's been a long time since the Fuwei Escort Agency was wiped out. The Exorcism Sword Manual might not even remain in the Lin family's old house in Xiangyang Township. What a shame." Lian Nishang shook her head, a look of regret on her face. She truly was

one of those people who thought nothing of a big deal. Of course, Lian Nishang was just thinking about it now, at least for the time being, as a joke, a joke.

But as the diary grew longer and longer, the contents became increasingly interesting, and Lian Nishang couldn't help but become fascinated.

After all, although Ye Xiu's writing was not particularly good, many of the things recorded in it were extremely interesting. Lian Nishang completely treated it as amusement, or as if it were a long novel.

"Huh? The Liancheng Jue treasure? Left behind by Emperor Yuan of Liang?" Lian Nishang had treated most of the diary's contents as amusement, but when she saw the mention of the treasure, her eyes lit up.

After all, as a bandit stronghold, Lian Nishang placed a high value on money. Not to mention, this time, there was a huge treasure.

Lian Nishang even had the urge to close the diary right then and there and go to Jingzhou City to look for the treasure.

But it was just an impulse after all, so Lian Nishang quickly suppressed it.

"Pfft, hahahaha! The person who wrote the diary was actually raped by a woman. Hahaha, so funny, so funny."

"But, Dongfang Bubai, hehe, this stronghold leader really admires it. Since you meet a man you like, it's normal to take the initiative. Although Dongfang Bubai directly used force, which was a bit too proactive, it's not bad, very good, and quite interesting."

Lian Nishang especially appreciated the diary entry about her raping Ye Xiu.

Lian Nishang was known for her proactive nature. If she saw something she liked, she would get it straight away. Even if she met a man she liked, she would definitely seduce him and pursue him proactively. While she wouldn't resort to force like Dongfang Bubai, she was definitely a very determined woman. Once she'd fallen in love, she would absolutely go all out in pursuit.

"Perhaps I could learn from Dongfang Bubai's tactics," Lian Nishang thought with a smile.

Although Lian Nishang was known as the Jade Rakshasa and appeared fierce and ferocious, she was still a woman, and she had her own desires: to find a man she admired, even loved, and to embark on a beautiful love story.

However, having been raised by wolves, Lian Nishang possessed a certain wolfish nature, so she had no idea about relationships.

Rather than trying to figure out how to have a relationship, she preferred direct tactics, force, and simply skipping the process.

Later, when the diary entry mentioned Yao Yue's alleged use of force, Lian Nishang was stunned.

In the past, Dongfang Bubai had simply taken a liking to Ye Xiu and fallen in love with him, so he resorted to force. But what about Yaoyue? Why did he resort to force, too?

Or was the man writing the diary truly that exceptional? So exceptional that even two peerless beauties, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, fell in love with him, and so he resorted to force?

At that moment, a vague thought formed in Lian Nishang's mind. She was completely filled with curiosity: just how exceptional was the diary's author? Why could such stunning beauties like Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue take such initiative?

Although Lian Nishang was the leader of the Southern Shaanxi Outlaws and spent most of her time there, that didn't mean she didn't know about Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, two exceptional women who were almost as good as herself. The fact

that such exceptional women, and indeed both of them, could attract such affection from her, intensified Lian Nishang's curiosity about Ye Xiu, the diary's owner, and she felt an urge to find the diary's author.

"Huh? He mentioned me at the end? And he called me a difficult woman?" Lian Nishang raised her eyebrows, thinking to herself that once she found the diary writer, she would teach him a lesson.

...

Jiangnan—Qixingtang!

Murong Qiudi was quietly reading a diary.

Murong Qiudi appeared delicate and fragile, elegant and graceful, a lady of noble birth, as beautiful as a spring breeze

. But secretly, she was the cold and clever Madam Murong, the master of the underworld organization "Tianzun," a ruthless female tyrant. Murong Qiudi, at this moment, was quiet and composed, like a painting. This appearance deceived almost everyone, who thought she was just a beautiful woman with a good family background, who had been tragically betrayed by Xie Xiaofeng

. Unlike Lian Nishang's excitement when reading the diary, Murong Qiudi appeared calm as she read the entries in the diary.

But inwardly, she was filled with anger, extremely anger.

It wasn't the contents of the diary, but the diary itself.

Someone had secretly delivered the diary to her, and most importantly, from beginning to end, she hadn't been able to find any clues.

This was simply a provocation to her, the Heavenly Lord.

Murong Qiudi now wanted to kill the person, and kill everyone related to this diary.

"Huashan Sect--"

Murong Qiudi has already begun to list the Huashan Sect as a sect that needs to be exterminated.

After all, the diary clearly states that the person who wrote the diary is a disciple of the Huashan Sect. This alone is unforgivable.

But apart from this, Murong Qiudi has not gained anything else, which forces her to continue reading. Murong Qiudi really wants to know if the person who gave her the diary has left any other information or clues in the diary.

As for the Sword Manual of Exorcism and other martial arts skills, Murong Qiudi does not care about these things.

Because as the eldest daughter of the Murong family and the leader of the Tianzun organization, the martial arts she possesses are simply countless, and there are even many powerful and advanced martial arts. Whether it is the Sword Manual of Exorcism or the Dugu Nine Swords, she does not think that her collection is inferior to them.

Seeing the diary's owner still dreaming of a harem and even harboring feelings for his mistress, Murong Qiudi only shone with disdain, and no further thoughts.

As the mistress of Tianzun, she had seen countless men filled with thieves and prostitutes, countless men of vile character and low moral character. She

even believed that no man in this world could be considered a good person, especially Xie Xiaofeng, who was the scum of men.

Still, some of the information in the diary stirred Murong Qiudi's interest. Well, it wouldn't be called temptation.

It was like the treasure in Liancheng Jue. Murong Qiudi didn't care about money or treasure, after all, the Tianzun organization itself was not short of it.

But she felt that treasure belonged to Tianzun.

So, Murong Qiudi decided to send someone to Jingzhou City to investigate any information regarding the Liancheng Jue treasure and bring it back.

Then there was the Divine Illumination Sutra, a magical art that could heal injuries, but she didn't have many of them, so she was somewhat interested in it and wanted to obtain it.

As for Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue for forcing the diary writer—Murong Qiudi simply disdained such claims. She even thought they were shameful. Had they never seen a man before? They resorted to such tactics, and yet they were fighting over the same man. Murong Qiudi

particularly despised such women—or rather, she also despised herself, who had been completely captivated by Xie Xiaofeng.

"Nanjing City, Rama's remains? Rama's internal energy?" Murong Qiudi paused when she saw these entries at the back of the diary. The contents were quite new.

This meant that the diary's owner had been writing in it not long ago, and now it had been brought to her. In other words, perhaps the diary's owner was not far from where she was now?

Then, the diary even revealed the burial location of Rama's remains, surprising Murong Qiudi even more.

"Perhaps this diary writer could be useful. After all, he seems quite well-informed." Murong Qiudi thought she could recruit him into the Tianzun Organization, using him as a spy for gathering intelligence.

Even now, no news had reached Nanjing about the whereabouts of Rama's remains.

"The Huashan Sect and the Wudang Sect have become allies?" This news made Murong Qiudi frown. She had previously considered destroying the Huashan Sect, but a sect like the Huashan Sect, considered a third-rate sect with only a few prominent figures, would have been easily annihilated without much impact.

But if the Huashan Sect became an ally of the Wudang Sect, she would have to reconsider her plans to annihilate it.

Especially since the one the Huashan Sect was aligning with was Zhang Sanfeng's ancestral branch of the Wudang Sect.

Zhang Sanfeng -

even though Murong Qiudi secretly established the Tianzun organization and held the lives of countless masters in her hands, she still did not dare to do anything excessive in front of Zhang Sanfeng.

Because she knew that if she really angered Zhang Sanfeng, the Tianzun organization might not be - no, it should be said that it would definitely be in trouble.

Although Zhang Sanfeng's third disciple was ambushed and became a disabled person ten years ago, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to have not taken any action. But she knew that over the years, the Wudang Sect had never stopped secretly investigating the matter of Yu Daying, and even for this reason, the Wudang Sect had destroyed many forces that had close ties with the Mongols.

However, the Mongols did not dare to act rashly. Apart from the matter of Yu Daying, the Mongols did not seem to dare to provoke the Wudang Sect.

This was because Zhang Sanfeng was in charge of the Wudang Sect.

When Murong Qiudi continued to see the owner of the diary calling her a woman who is not easy to mess with, Murong Qiudi finally couldn't help but frown again: "Could it be that the person who wrote the diary knows my hidden identity?"

A trace of caution flashed in Murong Qiudi's eyes.

After all, if it was just Murong Qiudi, others would at most just call her a poor woman who was abandoned by Xie Xiaofeng, but not easy to mess with, which means she can only be called the owner of the Tianzun organization.

Murong Qiudi squinted her eyes and looked at the diary. She was really getting more and more curious about the person who wrote the diary. She really wanted to know, what else did the person who wrote the diary know?
