Chapter 518

Kang Min only needed to give a hint,

and Xu Zhanglao took the initiative to curry favor by persuading the Four Great Elders.

He didn't make them directly betray Xiao Feng,

but only told them to be careful.

If Xiao Feng had any intention of betraying the Han people of the Central Plains,

they must draw a clear line with him,

otherwise the Beggar Sect's centuries of reputation would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

The facts proved that the effect was quite good.

On the day of the North Shaolin assembly,

not a single person from the North Beggar Sect spoke up for Xiao Feng.

As for Xu Zhanglao, who wanted to claim credit from Kang Min after returning,

the difference in their levels was too great;

Kang Min dismissed Xu Zhanglao in just a few words.

Kang Min was now single-mindedly wanting to obtain Gu Hanyuan,

so how could she have the heart to deal with others?

As soon as she heard Gu Hanyuan say he wanted to reward her,

she seductively stuck out her fragrant tongue and licked the corner of her mouth,

asking coquettishly:

"How does Young Master Gu intend to reward me?"

Kang Min even changed how she referred to herself,

clearly extremely excited at this moment.

Gu Hanyuan, however, said with a straight face:

"You are not yet qualified to extract the principal, Madam; we shall talk after you have completely controlled the North Beggar Sect. But the interest must still be paid to you. Otherwise, wouldn't people laugh at me, Gu, for being untrustworthy?"

Kang Min was confused at first,

then her eyes showed shock.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva,

looking at Gu Hanyuan's face, which was so handsome it didn't seem mortal,

and felt the contrast was extreme.

Kang Min said charmingly with glowing eyes:

"Young Master Gu, I am somewhat flattered by this interest."

Gu Hanyuan asked indifferently:

"Then, Madam, do you want to accept it?"

Stimulated by Gu Hanyuan's cold temperament,

Kang Min could not restrain her excitement and said:

"Then let me serve you well, Young Master."

Saying this, she leaned forward.

However, a cold light flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes,

and he roughly grabbed Kang Min's hair.

Amidst her cries of pain, he mocked:

"Did you misunderstand something, Madam? It is I, Gu, who is using you. Do you understand?"

Gu Hanyuan's unprecedented brutality—

the impact caused by Wu Xingyun's departure was greater than imagined.

Originally, for the better growth of the cauldron,

Gu Hanyuan had input a great deal of spiritual energy when treating Wu Xingyun.

Those spiritual energies had all turned into seeds rooted in Wu Xingyun's body.

Those spiritual energies, which in reality had not escaped Gu Hanyuan's control, while stimulating Wu Xingyun's pure Yin energy,

also brought resonance to Gu Hanyuan,

causing his pure Yang energy to grow wildly as well.

The wildly growing pure Yang energy could only be suppressed when he was by Wu Xingyun's side.

That was why Gu Hanyuan had used Wu Xingyun as a body pillow

to get sufficient rest and alleviate the pressure.

And with Wu Xingyun's departure,

Gu Hanyuan's pure Yang energy was constantly growing.

This situation was naturally a good thing for the moment of harvesting the cauldron in the future,

but for Gu Hanyuan now, it caused many troubles,

such as being unable to sleep at night

and urgently needing women to consume the pure Yang energy.

His recent enthusiasm for this, besides harvesting villain points,

was also for this reason.

Kang Min's status in Gu Hanyuan's heart was not high,

and she was not the only one who could control the North Beggar Sect.

Moreover, she seemed extremely keen on this way of being treated.

Therefore, Gu Hanyuan gave all his brutality to her.

Kang Min looked at Gu Hanyuan's departing back with a faint breath.

If Gu Hanyuan hadn't fed her some healing medicine before leaving,

she would have gone to keep Ma Dayuan company.

Kang Min felt as if her body and mind had been transformed,

both terrified and delighted,

and she was even more obsessed than before.

Looking at the "Three-Corpse Brain-God Pill" left on the table by Gu Hanyuan,

she decided to accelerate the progress of controlling the North Beggar Sect,

looking forward to the moment she could receive Gu Hanyuan's principal reward.

When Gu Hanyuan left, the sky had already turned dark,

but for Gu Hanyuan, who had "Sword Flight," this was not a problem.

Gu Hanyuan, having obtained great relaxation, "flew by sword" to Mount Huashan.

The Huashan Sect had already returned to Mount Huashan in full force.

After Gu Hanyuan arrived at the Huashan Sect,

he put on the Shura mask and changed into the attire of Wutian,

and found Lin Pingzhi, who was hiding in a secluded spot,

hacking and stabbing randomly out of resentment.

Lin Pingzhi knelt on the ground and wept bitterly in regret:

"Father! Mother! Ping'er is so regretful! Now that the 'Evil-Warding Sword Manual' has been snatched away, I don't know when I will be able to avenge you!"

Behind Lin Pingzhi,

Gu Hanyuan's cold voice came:

"Lin Pingzhi, do you want the 'Evil-Warding Sword Manual'?"

Lin Pingzhi was startled.

Seeing Gu Hanyuan in Wutian attire, he was first terrified,

then suddenly remembered what Wutian had said at North Shaolin,

and knelt on the ground to plead:

"Lord Wutian! I want revenge! Please give me the power to take revenge! I am willing to sell my life for you!"
