In fact, Yu Manhua’s talent was exceptionally high.
After escaping the Demon God’s clutches and becoming Dong Fangjie’s sword attendant, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
She soon broke through to the early stage of the True God Realm, not far behind Dong Fangjie.
The two of them also lived together for a while.
Yu Manhua was intimately familiar with the method and properties of the barrier formations Dong Fangjie laid down.
Because of that, she was fully capable of entering the Blessed Grotto-Heaven without alerting him.
The wooden house had poor soundproofing.
Standing outside, Yu Manhua seemed utterly still compared to the blazing heat inside.
Her eyes were full of helplessness and pity.
The door was right there within arm’s reach, yet she didn’t have the courage to push it open.
Because once she opened it, there would be no turning back.
She remembered the times she had spent with Dong Fangjie.
He had said he would love only her forever.
It was a lie, but Yu Manhua was willing to be deceived for a lifetime.
She was willing to be deceived.
So long as she didn’t expose it—so long as she pretended nothing had happened—everything would go on as before.
Yu Manhua slowly backed away. Forcing down the ache in her chest, she moved her gaze off the wooden house and turned to leave.
Just then—
A woman’s voice came from inside.
“Senior brother, I heard you took in a sword attendant. That sword attendant was once defiled by the Demon God and now she’s fallen for you. Is that true?”
Dong Fangjie said with a mocking lilt, “Of course it’s true, but junior sister, don’t worry. How could I possibly like her? A woman tainted ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) by the Demon God makes my skin crawl. The only reason I keep her by my side is to have another meat shield.
Don’t get the wrong idea.”
The woman laughed. “Oh, senior brother, so you’ve been using her feelings for you. You really are a scumbag.”
“So what if I am? You truly have no idea—at this point, even if I told her to die, she wouldn’t so much as frown. She’s the perfect toy.”
Dong Fangjie’s tone was thick with smugness.
Yu Manhua stopped in her tracks. After a heartbeat of silence, she whirled, kicked the door, and burst in.
That very night, she killed Dong Fangjie and that woman, ground their bones to dust, scattered the ashes, erased their souls, and left them no chance at reincarnation.
From that day on, Yu Manhua cast off the identity of sword attendant, stopped believing in men, and began living for herself again.
Over more than three million years, she climbed to the mid stage of the God Monarch Realm.
Her looks and figure changed drastically.
She now appeared like a slovenly, overweight auntie.
It was the side effect of abusing heavenly materials and earthly treasures to advance more quickly.
But Yu Manhua didn’t care about appearances.
All she wanted now was to keep getting stronger.
The reason she went to Balance City to find her cousin Yu Buxia was, in truth, the Balance Scale.
Recently, Yu Manhua stole someone else’s cake.
Five million divine stones and ten Ancient Thunder God Annihilation Talismans.
She had thought her work flawless, but to her surprise, she was still discovered.
Now the owner knew Yu Manhua was responsible and was hunting her across the God Realm.
Yu Manhua was no match for that person, so she set her sights on the Balance Scale.
She hoped that with the help of this divine artifact, she could permanently silence the owner.
Her plan was excellent, but carrying it out was complicated.
For example, how to make the Balance Scale her life-bound item.
She needed Yu Buxia’s help for that. It was the ultimate reason she had spared her cousin’s life.
After listening to Tao Hua’s account—
Ye Yu instantly understood. No wonder Yu Manhua had wiped out all of Balance City. It was for that artifact.
But who was the owner in this matter?
Ye Yu voiced the question in his heart.
Tao Hua giggled. “Are you buying intel now?”
Ye Yu paused for a moment, then reached for pen and paper again.
After the last dream, he truly lacked for neither methods nor divine arts. If he wanted, he could casually write out hundreds of volumes.
And they were all fine works from Jiyue Pavilion and Tongtian Pavilion.
They were more than enough to buy any intel.
However, the more Ye Yu behaved like this, the more generous Tao Hua became.
In her eyes, Ye Yu was a long-term, stable, big-fish client.
Naturally she would take the slow-and-steady approach.
So Tao Hua said generously, “All right, no need to fuss. I’ll throw this intel in for free. The owner’s name is Yao Xunan.
Those things were her betrothal gifts.”
Hearing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but knit his brows.
Yao Xunan?
Even someone like Yu Manhua had to avoid her edge?
That couldn’t be right. He had never heard of such a person in the God Realm.
Half an hour later, Ye Yu left the House of the Demon God and headed east.
The next day, he successfully arrived at Dongjie Valley.
The place seemed wreathed in cloud and mist, calm as still water, but in truth two formation barriers had long since been set down.
The techniques used were not particularly sophisticated.
Five early-stage True God Realm experts began carefully breaking the formation barriers.
All of them had pitch-black eyes with no whites.
One of them was even the Chief Attendant of Balance City.
That’s right—every one of these people was a Dao Protector Ye Yu had converted through the Path of Demon Conversion.
There was no one better to send into danger in his stead.
Well, to be fair, it wasn’t exactly dangerous.
Under Ye Yu’s guidance, they took only one stick of incense to break the formations and successfully enter.
Dongjie Valley covered a vast area, and to avoid alarming the snake, they didn’t dare sweep with divine sense. They could only feel their way forward with care.
Ye Yu stood quietly a thousand meters outside the valley.
Through the Dao Protectors’ perspectives, he watched in silence.
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly.
While searching separately, they quickly found the unconscious Yu Buxia.
At the moment, the Goddess of Balance, aside from depleted divine power, seemed to have no other issues.
The Chief Attendant stepped forward, wrapped Yu Buxia in divine power, and cautiously began to lead the group back.
Just then, a sudden change struck.
Two Dao Protectors abruptly dropped out of contact.
Realizing they’d been exposed, the Chief Attendant stopped keeping a low profile and bolted at full speed with Yu Buxia.
The other two Dao Protectors stayed behind of their own accord to buy time for the retreat.
But in the very next second, the bodies of those two Dao Protectors shattered completely.
Up to this point they hadn’t even laid eyes on Yu Manhua, and four were already dead.
Naturally the last to fall would be the Chief Attendant.
About ten steps from the exit, contact with her was cut off entirely.
Thus, the people Ye Yu sent were wiped out to the last. He, however, showed no hint of sorrow.
As if none of it surprised him.
“An excellent divine art. Quite an eye-opener.”
A slightly hoarse woman’s voice suddenly rang out.
