Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Shen Yao found Danxia Cheng quite interesting; there were no few demons encountered on the road.

Where did they all come from?

【Hmph, with a Wuxia Guan standing there, does it lack these common little demons?】

The system had its eyes on Wuxia Guan, located in the center of the city, ever since arriving in Danxia Cheng. Unlike other temples or Daoist monasteries, Wuxia Guan's choice of location revealed that it had no intention of focusing solely on cultivation. After all, the city center was where wealth gathered and was the liveliest; placing Wuxia Guan there would be like putting a CBD office building in the city center in modern times.

【It's impossible that all these demons are raised by Wuxia Guan,】 Shen Yao leaned against the window, raising an eyebrow at a bird demon that had just flown past, 【Go keep an eye on it.】

That bird demon looked strange, as if it had been forcibly enhanced by some secret art.

Could it be that there were some evil cults and deviant paths within Danxia Cheng? Just like that demon slayer encountered in Qingping City? Hmm, who knew how that osmanthus tree was doing now? Had it refined a new demon core again?

Tap—

The opened window was closed again, and Shen Yao called out to the servant waiting at the doorway.

Washing up and cleaning, tidying herself.

Under the servant's service, she changed into a new outfit, her hair combed and placed behind her head, the dangling green jade hairpin clinking softly as it hung down.

「Where is the Prince? 」

Lin Xingzhi had returned to his usual elusive daily life; he was rarely seen normally, and one might only encounter him a few times at bedtime.

「Replying to Princess Consort, the Prince went out this morning with Changsheng Daozhang to the Government Office. 」

Hearing this, Shen Yao made an 'oh' sound; Lin Xingzhi had actually brought Changsheng Daozhang with him this time, it seemed the situation at the Government Office was not good.

Not just not good, it could be said to be extremely critical.

Could one imagine an official with a rank exploding directly in front of him, this current dynasty's Prince?

Just a bang, exploding into pieces, without a bit of buffer or hesitation, the impact could be called satisfyingly sour.

Lin Xingzhi:...

After being stunned for a moment, Lin Xingzhi felt fortunate; luckily he had been more careful today, bringing along Changsheng Daozhang, whose Dao arts were profound.

Otherwise, those ignorant demons of Wuxia Guan wouldn't know how arrogant they would become!

「Prince」

Changsheng Daozhang had already formed hand seals and cast a spell; the blood and fragments exploding everywhere quickly gathered together.

Boom!

A corpse covered in cracks appeared on the ground, bloody traces seeping out from inside the body's skin, paired with those eyes that died without rest, hiss!

「Changsheng Daozhang, what evil art is this? 」

Lin Xingzhi shrank behind Changsheng Daozhang, showing panic and fear on his face, but in reality his heart was not so complex at all; otherwise he could not have achieved the previous glorious record.

「Merely a simple Heart-Splitting Art; the caster's methods were sinister and evil, done deliberately. 」

The purpose was naturally to give them a show of power, both to intimidate and to test.

Silently reciting a few phrases commonly used by Daoists, Changsheng Daozhang walked over to the corpse; he merely glanced around casually and discovered a black jade tablet at the corpse's waist.

Pulling off the jade tablet and pinching it in his hand, Changsheng Daozhang activated the art once more.

One halo of light after another sank into the black jade tablet; as the halos disappeared, the tablet's color turned from black to red, brighter than the purest ruby.

「Prince, it is this tablet causing trouble within them, 」 the caster used a medium to act upon people.

「Changsheng Daozhang, please enlighten me, 」 Lin Xingzhi dared not touch this jade tablet; its red color was too shocking.

「Prince, do not fear; the raw material of this tablet is Chicken Blood Stone, and it has been infused with the spirit of mountain spirits and wild monsters.

The refined tablet can only be used once; now it has lost its effect, merely a piece of junk. 」

After speaking, Changsheng Daozhang saw that Lin Xingzhi did not take it, so he simply stuffed it back into his own sleeve.

Take it back and deal with it, polish it, and it could still serve as a good-looking pendant.

If a few runes were inscribed into it, it would be a very useful magic artifact.

Since taking in a young closed-door disciple, Changsheng Daozhang had become somewhat stingy; after all, he still had a young disciple to support, and could no longer be as extravagant as before.

He waved his hand to have someone carry the corpse on the ground out, and Lin Xingzhi and Changsheng Daozhang entered the door.

Originally, today they had planned to check the accounts, but unfortunately the official in charge of the account books had completely kicked the bucket, and the two faced a room full of account books, only able to scratch their heads.

This

「Summon the official in charge; as long as they have some understanding, invite them all over. 」

After speaking, Lin Xingzhi placed both hands behind his back, 「Changsheng Daozhang, is this room still safe? 」

Changsheng Daozhang made an 'en' sound and nodded, 「Prince, rest assured, no one has tampered with anything. 」

Even this room was too clean, completely different from the trouble Changsheng Daozhang had expected.

Hiss

Could there be some trump card hidden in the account books?

Changsheng Daozhang couldn't help but engage in conspiracy theories; actually, the Wuxia Guan disciple responsible for this show of power had always been arrogant and disdainful of using such sinister methods.

「Junior Brother, if you do this, can you really intimidate that Prince and the Daoist by his side? 」 Surely not wasting effort in vain, they did indeed follow their master's orders.

「Senior Brother, what do ordinary mortals fear most? A living person dying right before their eyes, 」 like flowers scattered by rain from the sky, even someone with a firm heart couldn't take it.

This Junior Brother looked gloomy, and when he grinned, he looked even more like a pervert.

Senior Brother:...

Cursing bad luck in his heart! Senior Brother frowned and left, unwilling to deal with this lunatic who was quite famous even within Wuxia Guan.

Master really is something — the disciples he took in are all such oddballs; no wonder Five Clouds Observatory can only put down roots in Danxia Cheng yet cannot expand well into the surrounding towns, there is a reason for all of this.

At dusk, Lin Xingzhi returned to the relay station with a heavy heart.

Shen Yao had already finished the late dinner, and was keeping the three children who had been cooped up for a long time company as they played noisily in the back courtyard.

"Husband"

"Father King, Father King"

"Father King"

Not far away, the cries of one adult and three children successfully roused the weary-looking Lin Xingzhi.

He could not help but break into a smile, walked over, and gathered the children and his wife into his arms.

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled the turbid breath; repeating this several times, the expression on his face returned to normal.

Unlike the three children who still could not read people's faces, Shen Yao could clearly sense Lin Xingzhi's low spirits — did you run into trouble today?

That night, back in the room resting, Lin Xingzhi finally could not hold back and poured out the anger weighing on his heart to his own wife: Five Clouds Observatory bullies people too much!

"... If it weren't for Changsheng Daozhang taking action, this group of officials would have no way to survive."

Shen Yao leaned against Lin Xingzhi's chest, listening quietly to him speak, "They don't know where that jade tablet came from, and even at the moment of impending death they still had no perception.

They actually don't know Five Clouds Observatory has such ability, controlling the entire Danxia Cheng without gods or ghosts being aware," from the government office officials down to the common people.

Making the Li Country imperial family's presence seem extremely weak; if not for him inspecting on imperial decree, who knows how long it would have been dragged out before exposure?

"This is not Husband's fault; the problems left by the Former Emperor need time to resolve," even around the capital a Luogui City can appear, let alone Danxia Cheng thousands of miles away — everything is understandable.

"Now I only hope Five Clouds Observatory still has some basic human bottom line," otherwise the common people of Danxia Cheng will absolutely be the ones who suffer the heaviest casualties.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao couldn't bear to shatter Lin Xingzhi's wish; given Five Clouds Observatory's conduct over so many years, ugh, expecting them to have a conscience is less realistic than hoping heaven will send down justice and directly burn Five Clouds Observatory clean with a single fire.

"Host, we can do this!"

The system couldn't help jumping out, the whole system looking like it was about to put on a display.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao turned her head to glance at Lin Xingzhi, who was already sound asleep yet still had his brows tightly furrowed, and without changing expression got up from the bed and stepped onto the floor.

"Give me a reason to do this; Five Clouds Observatory is no easy opponent."

She is a Great Demon, true, but that doesn't mean she can solve every trouble.

Before Shen Yao transmigrated in, this body was merely a rabbit demon who had recently taken human form, a grass-eating rabbit — how much capability could you expect from it?

Right now it is still the result Shen Yao achieved through painstaking cultivation after transmigrating in.

System:...

The system, countered by the question, directly froze; it shut its mouth and pondered for a long while, finally managing to stammer out that there are imprisoned Xia demons in Five Clouds Observatory.

"Xia demons are actually in Five Clouds Observatory," also very normal — that stretch of colored clouds outside Danxia Cheng appears year after year, month after month; it's impossible for Xia demons not to appear.

Result: she had been in Danxia Cheng for several days, and no matter how she searched she discovered no trace of Xia demons.

Now hearing the system say this, hmm, so it turns out it was Five Clouds Observatory's doing.

"Xia demons are just an excuse; but besides that?" Can't rely on just this, there must be other benefits.

System:...

The system, hearing this, continued to ponder — not because it developed a saintly mother's heart wanting to be a snail girl helping Lin Xingzhi solve trouble; it purely covets the reward from the calamity source of Five Clouds Observatory, not only can the host gain benefits, it can also obtain benefits from this world.

"Five Clouds Observatory has cultivation manuals suitable for the Demon Race, and special secret arts that can cultivate the Demon Race in large numbers, and other Great Demons locked up inside; saving them can obtain things beneficial to the host."

The system racked its brains with all kinds of persuasion, yet its own host remained unmoved.

Just as the system's heart gradually went cold thinking this matter would not succeed, the host suddenly agreed.

Ah?

This sudden?

Sudden what?

Shen Yao felt the system still has a long way to go; currently it is still too easy to fool — speaking from a utilitarian angle, it is not conducive to mission development.

Say go and go

Not giving the system a chance to react, Shen Yao directly vanished from the room; when she appeared again, she was already at the gate of Five Clouds Observatory in the city center.

"Is it here?"

"Yes"

"Wait, Host you're going in just like that?"

The system was so surprised it nearly broke its voice; no, don't you need to prepare a bit? Charging straight in like this, no, not too good.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao glanced at the system making a fuss over nothing, thinking: what does this kind of thing need preparation for? Those with ability can charge straight up and succeed; those without ability, no matter how they prepare, still can't match Five Clouds Observatory's accumulation of many years.

Coincidentally, Shen Yao currently belongs to the have-ability stage; Five Clouds Observatory? Barely, reluctantly, can also be called an opponent.

System:...

The system just stared dumbfounded as the host flew into Five Clouds Observatory, and amid a cold snort from the old Guan Guan Zhu, without dodging or hiding went straight into a head-on clash with the other party.

Ah?

Ah what ah?

Shen Yao let out a tender rebuke, sent a spell technique down, and directly blew up more than half of the main hall inside Five Clouds Observatory.

The disciple who had just wanted to sweet-talk the beauty instantly shut his mouth; mm, she's an Overlord Flower that can't be provoked.

"Fellow Cultivator, may I ask what business brings you to Five Clouds Observatory in the middle of the night?"

The old Guan Guan Zhu's outward attitude softened considerably; after all, Shen Yao really can fight.

"I came to Five Clouds Observatory — Old Guan Guan Zhu, don't you know why? Or is it a bit too late?"

Shen Yao smiled faintly, not yet continuing to speak, when the old Guan Guan Zhu's disciple at one side unexpectedly thought of that Wangye they had been targeting these several days.

Hmm

Could it be that she is an expert under Wangye? But apart from the Daoren who has been showing his face all along, they had not discovered that the team was still hiding such a capable and beautiful Beauty.

Subconsciously wanting to size up the Shen Yao before him with his usual gaze, the result was hearing an "ah" sound, Shen Yao put down the Golden Dharma Hairpin in her hand, "If you keep looking so lecherously, you'd better be careful your little life won't be preserved."

Her temper has also become much better, otherwise this kind of debauchee whose surrounding Resentment Qi has already condensed solid would have long since met his end.

However it is also sooner or later, today Shen Yao came over, precisely not wanting to leave future trouble. Not letting this group of Wuxia Guan demon people have the opportunity to see tomorrow's sun again.

"Master, Master, kill her, kill her..."

The disciple who lost a pair of eyes knelt on the ground rolling and constantly wailing, pity his words no one was willing to listen, Shen Yao still steadily stood at the original place, the old Guan Guan Zhu merely frowned, finally again steadily closed his eyes without revealing anything.

"Heh!"

Lightly laughing once, Shen Yao mockingly looked at the stupid goods on the ground who had no clear cognition of themselves, thinking in her heart this old Guan Guan Zhu is truly ruthless, the one lying down is a bloodline close relative after all.

"Old man, you have so many Cai Xia Dan on your body, all to be eaten until Dan Poison invades the bone marrow, yet still reluctant to give your these bloodline juniors two pills?

Here, the one lying on the ground wailing with more breath out than in, if not treated soon, how to serve as Blood Bag?"

Just a few sentences of truth, Shen Yao successfully frightened the old Guan Guan Zhu's other several disciples into trembling all over with mindset unbalanced.

Mm

How to say? Often it falls on others' bodies and one doesn't feel how, but falls on one's own body yet feels collapse unbearable.

Shen Yao's words although looking at them without basis, but they know the old Guan Guan Zhu is ruthless, is certainly able to do this kind of thing.

As for bloodline relatives, they knew long ago, after all with the old Guan Guan Zhu acting so selfishly, unrelated people can only become Cannon Fodder and fertilizer, while those with relations, if capability not enough also only end up so, in this aspect the old Guan Guan Zhu is very impartial.

"Hmph! Relying on verbal cleverness!"

The old Guan Guan Zhu elusively arrived before Shen Yao, fingers suddenly lengthening reaching forward to grab.

Surroundings air splitting sounds rose, carrying a gust of windstorm intent on blowing a person away, directly pouncing toward Shen Yao's chest.

Dodging this claw that was already no longer human form, Shen Yao "oh"ed once in sudden realization, "No wonder there are so many Bie Xie Yao in Wuxia Guan, so the largest one is actually you, old Guan Guan Zhu."

Using one's own demon blood as raw material, no wonder able to cultivate large amounts of Bie Xie Yao.

The old Guan Guan Zhu's a pair of eyes have already changed appearance, including the wrinkles on the face, after stretching open what is revealed are one after another bulging Blood Tumors.

This kind of severe Dan Poison manifestation, no wonder needing to raise so many blood relative disciples, only the blood exchange technique has always been treating symptoms not root, suffering backlash is merely sooner or later.

Right now, is precisely Retribution~
