Purple Intelligence: Devouring Heaven Demon Art!

"Go and summon the true disciple Shen Miaoyin. Tell her I have something important to discuss with her."

"Yes." Although Gu Qingxue was puzzled, she immediately accepted the order and left.

Soon after, a fragrant breeze wafted over.

Wearing a light purple dress, Shen Miaoyin walked gracefully into the cave.

She had a graceful figure and a charming face, with a pair of captivating eyes that seemed to be able to bewitch and steal one's soul.

"Disciple Shen Miaoyin greets Ancestor." She bowed gracefully, her voice charming and alluring. "Hearing that Ancestor's injuries have improved, Miaoyin is overjoyed."

Her bright eyes held just the right amount of concern, as well as a hint of barely perceptible doubt and probing.

There were only the two of them in the secret room at that moment.

Shen Miaoyin's every smile and gesture carried an innate allure, enough to make any Golden Core cultivator lose their composure.

However, Lu Yuan simply looked at her calmly, his eyes as still as a deep well.

"Disciples of the Hehuan Sect also know how to care for others?" he asked casually.

These words struck Shen Miaoyin like a thunderbolt.

The smile on her face froze instantly, and for the first time, genuine panic and fear showed in her alluring peach blossom eyes. "Ancestor... what... what are you saying? This disciple doesn't understand."

"Don't you understand?" A cold smile curled at the corner of Lu Yuan's lips.

boom.

An irresistible, vast, and boundless divine power swept out instantly, like an invisible mountain, pressing down heavily on Shen Miaoyin's soul.

The divine consciousness of a Nascent Soul cultivator at the late stage of Great Perfection is terrifying.

Shen Miaoyin felt as if her soul had become a small boat, about to capsize in a raging storm.

All her pretense and secrets crumbled before this absolute power.

All the memories in her mind unfolded slowly before Lu Yuan like a scroll.

A moment later, Lu Yuan withdrew his divine sense.

He not only saw through all the secrets in Shen Miaoyin's heart, but also took the opportunity to extract a forbidden secret technique called "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique" from the depths of her consciousness, which was protected by the secret techniques of the Hehuan Sect.

This method allows one to unleash power far exceeding their own cultivation level in a short period of time by burning their essence, blood, and lifespan.

Although it has significant side effects, it is also a good trump card for survival.

Lu Yuan flicked his finger, and a divine imprint was directly planted into Shen Miaoyin's sea of ​​consciousness.

From then on, her life and death were entirely in Lu Yuan's hands.

"Ah..." Shen Miaoyin cried out in pain, her face turning deathly pale instantly.

She could feel that deep within her soul, an irresistible mark had been added.

"Now, can we speak?" Lu Yuan's voice rang out again.

Shen Miaoyin had no more hope. She collapsed to the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Ancestor, spare my life! This disciple... this disciple is indeed a member of the Hehuan Sect. The sect leader... the sect leader suffered severe damage to his origin due to using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique several times in his early years."

She heard that your sect's Yi Wood Evergreen Technique had the miraculous effect of replenishing one's essence and extending lifespan, which is why... that's why she sent her disciple to try and steal it.

Lu Yuan nodded; this was consistent with the information he had obtained through interrogation.

He also knew something about the Hehuan Sect.

This sect is located in Fengyuan Kingdom, which borders Zhao Kingdom. It is one of the six major sects of the demonic path and is far more powerful than the four Nascent Soul sects of Zhao Kingdom.

Most importantly, the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect is a true Nascent Soul cultivator.

That is why she dared not come in person.

There is an unwritten agreement between the Ten Immortal Sects and the Six Demonic Sects: powerful beings above the Nascent Soul stage are not allowed to easily cross each other's territories except in a war to destroy their sect.

"You are indeed loyal." Lu Yuan's tone revealed neither joy nor anger.

He looked at Shen Miaoyin, who was lying on the ground, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful, but he was thinking about something else.

In the original timeline, this woman might have crossed paths with Xiao Fan.

As a demonic enchantress and Xiao Fan a chosen one, according to the usual tropes, they would most likely stage a hero rescuing a damsel in distress or a love-hate relationship.

Perhaps, she will become one of Xiao Fan's opportunities.

With this in mind, Lu Yuan decided to keep this chess piece with him for the time being.

"From this day forward, you will stay by my side and serve as my maid," Lu Yuan announced calmly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Miaoyin's delicate body trembled, a hint of humiliation flashing in her eyes, but ultimately it turned into resigned obedience. "Yes, Master."

Just then, midnight arrived.

[Ding, daily intelligence update.]

[White Intelligence: Second Elder Zhao Wuji harbors resentment because his son Zhao Jinhuan's foundation was destroyed during a competition with Gu Qingxue in his early years, but the Qingyun Ancestor protected Gu Qingxue and did not punish him.]

He has secretly pledged allegiance to Beast King Valley, promising to open doors of convenience for them in crucial moments.

[White Intelligence: Third Elder Liu Mengxi's Daoist partner is the Peak Master of Taichu Peak, but she was rescued by Li Daoyi, the Golden Core Peak Master of Tianjian Mountain, in her early years, and has long harbored secret feelings for him. Under Li Daoyi's influence, she has agreed to join Tianjian Mountain, promising to offer the sect's pill formula as a pledge of allegiance.]

[Purple Intelligence: Xiao Fan, the chosen one of destiny, will be hunted down by a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator today for losing money in the capital of Zhao.]

During his escape, he will fall into a demonic abyss and unexpectedly obtain a fragment of a cultivation technique far surpassing the Heavenly Rank—the Devouring Heaven Demon Technique. This technique can enhance one's physique and cultivation by devouring the essence of any special physique. [Click to view coordinates]

Lu Yuan's gaze grew increasingly cold as he looked at the three intelligence reports.

Zhao Wuji and Liu Mengxi, the higher-ups of this sect have actually degenerated to this extent.

If it weren't for the system he possessed, the Qingyun Sect would probably have been completely devoured without him even realizing it.

However, what interested him most was the last piece of purple information.

The Devouring Heaven Demon Art can devour the essence of all special physiques.

A playful smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips.

This Xiao Fan really went to great lengths to prepare gifts for himself.

Having just acquired the Pure Yang Dao Body, he immediately gifted him a demonic technique that could devour one's own physique.

"Such heaven-defying demonic power is such a waste to have on you," Lu Yuan murmured.

Lu Yuan did not waste too much time on Shen Miaoyin.

With a swift movement, he vanished from the cave.

A moment later, he appeared above a demon cave a hundred miles away.

The spiritual energy here is scarce, and it is shrouded in a cold and malevolent aura year-round.

Lu Yuan's divine sense swept across the area and quickly located an inconspicuous cave hidden by rocks, based on the coordinates provided by the system.

The entrance to the cave is narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

A strong aura of blood and resentment immediately filled the air.

He slowly ventured deeper, and the cave suddenly opened up into a vast underground space.
