Yang Qingxi merely glanced at the strange title before quietly ignoring it. Another notification immediately followed.
[Ding! Requirements Met...]
[System Update Initialising...]
[...System Upgrade in Progress...]
[Update Completed!]
[Ding! New Function Unlocked!]
Yang Qingxi’s eyes immediately lit up.
Compared to the odd title, the system upgrade interested her far more. She quickly asked inside her mind,
’System, hurry up. Tell me what this new function is.’
The answer came almost instantly.
[Ding! Daily Intelligence Function!]
[Effect: Provides the host with three pieces of intelligence every day. If utilised properly, they may produce miraculous results.]
Yang Qingxi blinked.
’Daily Intelligence...?’
’Three pieces of information every day?’
Soon, the corners of her lips slowly curved upward into a satisfied smile.
’That... actually sounds incredibly useful.’
’Well then... tell me today’s intelligence.’
As soon as Yang Qingxi gave the command, three new notifications appeared before her eyes.
[Today’s Intelligence:]
[Daily Intelligence (1): Kirin Hall has three Destiny Protagonists.]
Yang Qingxi’s eyes sharpened as she read the first piece of intelligence. It was actually related to the new protagonists, and there were three of them at once. She had no idea what kind of place the Kirin Hall was, but having three Destiny Protagonists gathered together was enough for her to become cautious.
’Kirin Hall... Is it some kind of cult?’
Regardless of what it was, facing three protagonists together was obviously much more troublesome than dealing with just one.
However, what she wanted to know more about at the moment was information regarding Wu Taeyong. If possible, she hoped to learn more about his abilities or weaknesses before the upcoming battle. Thinking of that, she looked at the second piece of intelligence.
[Daily Intelligence (2): Wu Chaochang had hit the mark. Ye Chen will 100% get pregnant.]
"..."
Yang Qingxi stared speechlessly at the notification.
To say this information was useful, their plans regarding Ye Chen might indeed need some adjustments later. To say it was useless, she had to admit she was rather interested in the gossip itself.
She silently moved on to the last piece of intelligence.
’Let’s hope this one can be useful in the upcoming battle.’
Perhaps her wish had finally been heard by Lady Luck. The third notification slowly appeared before her eyes.
[Daily Intelligence (3): Wu Taeyong’s ultimate secret technique can sacrifice the lives of his blood descendants to gain a short-term boost in power.]
Yang Qingxi frowned slightly.
’Sacrificing the lives of his descendants to gain strength... What a disgusting technique.’
Almost immediately, she thought of something. Her eyes widened slightly as she turned toward Wu Yuna, who was helping Su Mo screen the prisoners one by one.
"Grandaunt."
Wu Yuna turned to look at her.
"Are you really... blood-related to Wu Taeyong?"
Hearing her sudden question, Su Mo looked at Yang Qingxi in confusion.
"What’s wrong, Qingxi? Didn’t Grandaunt already tell us that earlier?"
"I want to confirm it again."
Yang Qingxi kept her eyes on Wu Yuna.
"Are you certain you are his blood descendant?"
Wu Yuna nodded.
"Yes. I am."
Seeing Yang Qingxi’s expression become tense, Su Mo also became serious. "What’s wrong, Qingxi? Did something happen?"
Yang Qingxi looked at him before replying in a grave tone. "Wu Taeyong has a secret technique. Using it, he can sacrifice the lives of his blood descendants to gain a powerful boost in strength."
The moment he heard those words, Su Mo immediately understood what she meant.
"You mean..."
"Exactly," Yang Qingxi nodded. "Grandaunt’s life is under his control."
Su Mo fell silent.
He didn’t ask where Yang Qingxi had obtained this information or whether it was reliable. If she wasn’t certain, she wouldn’t have spoken with such confidence. As for the source, it was most likely related to her system.
After thinking for a moment, he activated his insight ability while pondering aloud. "What now? Is there any way to break this technique?"
Before either of them could think of an answer, Wu Yuna quietly spoke. "It’s alright. You two don’t need to think too much about me."
She looked at Su Mo and Yang Qingxi with the same calm expression.
"I tried to kill both of you and even put Qingxi in a life-threatening situation. It’s already good enough that neither of you chose to kill me."
Her voice remained steady as she continued.
"It’s fine even if I die."
"Maybe it’s my atonement. Or the punishment for my crimes."
Su Mo and Yang Qingxi both became silent.
After a while, Su Mo let out a helpless sigh and rubbed his forehead.
"Alright, don’t keep talking about dying."
He looked at Wu Yuna and continued, "It’s true that I really wanted to kill you. But your punishment should be decided by Qingxi, not by becoming nutrients for that old monster’s power."
He paused briefly before adding, "So you can die, but not like this. Maybe if I kill Wu Taeyong quickly enough before he activates that technique, you won’t need to worry about it."
Wu Yuna showed no emotional change at Su Mo’s declaration. True to her own words, she had already accepted it even if she were to die.
Only somewhere in her heart, the images of her daughter, Shen Xing, and her husband, Shen Kai, quietly appeared for a brief moment, gently shaking the resolve she had maintained just now.
---
Although Su Mo didn’t say anything after that, the speed of his movements had noticeably increased.
The information Yang Qingxi had just revealed placed an invisible pressure on both of them. The sooner they finished their preparations, the better their chances would be once they faced Wu Taeyong.
One prisoner after another underwent the reincarnation process.
Those who succeeded quietly became Demonic Servants.
Those who failed were immediately put down by Su Mo without hesitation. The silver sword silently absorbed their blood and energy before feeding it back into his body, steadily pushing his cultivation higher.
By now, his cultivation has already reached Golden Core (Level 2), and soon, it will increase again.
