Sees the Light of Day

The couple’s acting was not just good; it was a display of perfect chemistry.

No one could tell they were acting; their conversation was exactly like that of people who had just met.

As for the plausibility of this chance encounter, the two had already calculated it the night before.

Yan Yun would lure out the Lin family, and then Jiang Yao would step in to stop them.

The reasoning was perfectly sound.

Most people in the Yunhua Sect knew about how the Lin family had criticized Jiang Yao back then, and how they had suppressed the Yan and Jiang families.

This was surely Lin Mo, seeking revenge against Jiang Yao, secretly instructing his family to cause trouble.

Setting aside the matter of Yan Yun cultivating the poison art, it was still the Lin family that had caused Jiang Yao’s husband to flee.

Such enmity was certainly enough to make Jiang Yao resent everyone in the Lin family.

And indeed, Jiang Yao had been constantly finding trouble with the Lin family members recently.

Many in the Yunhua Sect had seen this, so her appearance was perfectly reasonable.

And now, she had a sufficient reason to meet with Yan Yun again in the future.

If not for the need to hide Yan Yun’s identity, the two of them wouldn’t have wanted to make things so complicated.

“Junior Sister Ziyun, your Purple Abyss Pavilion’s techniques are truly unsuitable for sparring. One could almost say they are fatal in a single blow, making you invincible in the same realm!” Jiang Yao began to converse with Yan Yun, feigning admiration.

Yan Yun was equally cooperative.

“Ai! The main issue is our lack of combat experience. We disciples of the Purple Abyss Pavilion currently possess the poison art but have no idea how to fight. I think it’s necessary to apply to the sect and have them dispatch an elder or senior brother or sister skilled in combat to come and teach us.”

As Yan Yun said this, she secretly winked at Jiang Yao, who instantly understood her meaning.

“Mm, that’s true. Although this poison art is powerful, in a life-and-death battle, without combat experience and an understanding of how to fight, one probably couldn’t unleash its full power.”

With Jiang Yao and Yan Yun exchanging words, it certainly appeared to outsiders that their relationship was growing closer.

On the other side, a furious Lin Zi had people carry Lin Yu and fly toward Lin Mo’s residence.

In truth, their troublemaking this time was also a reminder for Lin Mo to return as soon as possible.

Lin Mo had instructed them to see just how formidable this poison art was.

“That meddlesome Jiang Yao. I think it’s about time we let her know the power of our Lin family,” Lin Zi said, her face filled with humiliation.

Lin Mo and Lin Zi met.

Upon meeting, Lin Mo immediately checked Lin Yu’s physical condition.

He released his spiritual power, trying to force the poison out of Lin Yu’s body, but even for him, a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator, it was extremely difficult.

The poison seemed to have fused with Lin Yu’s flesh and blood, making it impossible to expel in a short time.

However, he could feel that the poison was constantly decaying, which meant it would completely disappear in at most a day.

“What a potent poison. This poison art is indeed exceptionally powerful. This Ziyun was merciful; she didn’t use a lethal poison to attack Lin Yu. Otherwise, he would surely be dead,” Lin Mo said with a grave expression.

“It is indeed strange. That Ziyun is merely at the Spirit Gathering Realm, yet she can condense poison into a needle to attack Lin Yu. This is not something an ordinary Spirit Gathering cultivator can do,” Lin Zi also commented.

For conventional cultivators, one must reach the Cavern Heaven Realm to release spiritual power.

“This is enough to prove the power of the poison art. It seems we still need to have the family send some people with strong willpower to the Yunhua Sect. Let this Ziyun help them master the poison art. As for that method that causes failure and death, I believe if we are willing to research it, we might not be unable to develop it ourselves.”

Lin Mo was very disappointed with the Lin family members in the Yunhua Sect.

Their willpower was generally poor, making it impossible for them to master the poison art.

“Mm. By the way, Brother Lin Mo, when I went to teach that Ziyun a lesson today, I was seen by that wretched girl, Jiang Yao. Brother Lin Mo, I don’t think we need to be polite with this Jiang Yao anymore,” Lin Zi said coldly.

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback.

“Such a coincidence?”

“Yes. She said she was passing by the Dao Discussion Pavilion and that she didn’t like the look of our Lin family,” Lin Zi said, very annoyed.

Lin Mo sneered.

“Our relationship with her is already beyond repair. It’s perfectly normal for her to cause trouble. Let’s ignore her for now and inform the family.”

Lin Zi nodded.

Jiang Yao and Yan Yun chatted for a while in the Dao Discussion Pavilion.

After openly exchanging their communication methods, they parted ways.

Jiang Yao also left a parting word, the gist of which was that if the Lin family came looking for trouble again, Yan Yun should contact her.

Thus, if Yan Yun were to call for Jiang Yao in the future, it would be perfectly reasonable.

After leaving the Dao Discussion Pavilion, Yan Yun and the others came to the Heaven-Piercing Pagoda.

It was a towering pagoda, the tallest structure in the Yunhua Sect.

The Heaven-Piercing Pagoda was established by the Yunhua Sect specifically to train disciples in practical combat.

Inside, it contained demonic beasts, puppets, formations, and various other combat opponents that a cultivator might encounter in real battle.

The place was completely controlled by restrictions and formations.

Disciples of the Yunhua Sect could enter once a month.

And to motivate the disciples, the Yunhua Sect would also rank the disciples who challenged the Heaven-Piercing Pagoda each month.

The so-called ranking was based on how many levels a disciple could clear in a particular challenge.

For demonic beasts, for example, the first level might be one beast, the second level two, and so on.

The top ten in each category received spirit stone rewards, so the disciples of the Yunhua Sect would come to challenge it once every month.

After learning about it, Yan Yun and her group left.

They currently had no combat experience and were not suited to challenge the Heaven-Piercing Pagoda.

After touring the various parts of the Yunhua Sect, they returned to the Purple Abyss Pavilion.

Upon their return, Yan Yun immediately applied to Fairy Yunshuang, requesting her to dispatch someone with rich combat experience to the Purple Abyss Pavilion to train its disciples.

Her request was reasonable, so Fairy Yunshuang naturally would not refuse.

But when it came to the choice of candidate, Fairy Yunshuang had her own selfish considerations.

Whether it was completely within Yan Yun and Jiang Yao’s expectations or not, Fairy Yunshuang actually summoned Jiang Yao first.

Inside the main hall of the Yunhua Sect.

“Master, for what matter have you summoned this disciple?” Jiang Yao bowed respectfully to Fairy Yunshuang.
Fairy Yunshuang smiled faintly.
“There is a task that I need you to complete.”

She then explained the task’s requirements to Jiang Yao in detail.

After listening, Jiang Yao appeared calm, but she was already overjoyed inside.

She had anticipated that if Yan Yun applied to the sect to send someone with rich combat experience to the Purple Abyss Pavilion, there was a high probability that she would be sent.

As the Sect Master of the Yunhua Sect, Fairy Yunshuang naturally wanted to keep the Purple Abyss Pavilion firmly in her own hands.

She couldn’t possibly let the other factions handle this matter, as they all had their own selfish motives.

And among her own people, the ones she trusted the most were undoubtedly Jiang Yao and Su Muyu.

Especially Jiang Yao, whom she was grooming as her future successor.

Su Muyu had just joined the sect and was not very suitable for this task.

As for Jiang Yao, she hadn’t had much to do since her breakthrough, so it was most appropriate to send her.

This way, Jiang Yao could go to the Purple Abyss Pavilion openly every day.

The very next day, early in the morning, Jiang Yao arrived at the Purple Abyss Pavilion.

The disciples of the Purple Abyss Pavilion, led by Yan Yun, were already waiting for Jiang Yao’s arrival at the training ground.

“We welcome Senior Sister Jiang to the Purple Abyss Pavilion to impart combat techniques.”

Jiang Yao looked at Yan Yun and the others and coughed a few times.

“Ahem, by order of the Sect Master, from now on, I will be teaching all you junior brothers and sisters combat techniques. I hope you will all cooperate well.”

Yan Yun was already blooming with joy inside.

Her own wife was personally coming to teach them combat; she would certainly enjoy it very much.

The so-called combat techniques were about how to face an enemy, how to dodge, how to attack, and how to defend.

Jiang Yao gave Yan Yun extra special attention, teaching her hand-to-hand and personally demonstrating.

And Yan Yun, that lecher, secretly took advantage of the situation quite a bit.

This act of secretly flirting in front of others gave the two of them an indescribable excitement.

But Yan Yun learned very seriously, and Jiang Yao’s demands on her were very high, higher than on anyone else.

By the way, Jiang Yao didn’t come every day.

After a few days, she found an excuse, saying she had other matters to attend to, and applied to Fairy Yunshuang to have Su Muyu take her place in training the people of the Purple Abyss Pavilion.

When her mother came, Yan Yun instantly became serious.

She worked exceptionally hard during her training.

There was no helping it.

If she slacked off even a little, Su Muyu would find a reason to discipline her.

In this way, they could see each other openly every few days.

The family had returned to a period of warmth and harmony.
