Chapter 481: Chapter 141: Returning as Divinity Transformation—Who Can Stop Me?

Late night.

A slender figure flitted across Xiyue Peak, heading towards Divinity Transformation Peak.

As the figure disappeared, Wei Shouyuan slowly stepped out from the darkness, a cold smile appearing on his face:

"Ye Xiyue, do you really think I would trust you so easily?"

After speaking, he transformed into a black light, following Ye Xiyue from afar. He saw Ye Xiyue wearing a black dress convenient for night travel, flying on her sword towards Divinity Transformation Peak, seemingly eager, like someone going for a midnight tryst with a lover.

Wei Shouyuan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, secretly cursing how someone so seemingly aloof and proud could turn into a slut around young and handsome male cultivators!

Ye Xiyue stopped above a small courtyard where the steward disciples of Divinity Transformation Peak resided, quietly descending.

The alluring figure in the tight black dress walked quickly to the door of the house, gently knocking twice.

Soon, the door opened.

Wei Shouyuan could not help but snort coldly in his heart.

As expected, who else could be living here but He Zhiqiu?

Upon seeing Ye Xiyue, He Zhiqiu appeared somewhat surprised, cupping his hands and saying, "Senior Sister, what brings you here so late?"

Ye Xiyue snorted coldly, though there was a touch of grievance in her voice: "What, you can think of your Tang so late, but I can’t come to see you?"

He Zhiqiu showed a troubled expression: "Senior Sister, you promised me you wouldn’t bring this up within the sect."

Ye Xiyue stared at him intently: "I’ll ask you one more time, do you agree or not?"

He Zhiqiu looked her up and down, hesitating at her graceful and seductive figure, while Ye Xiyue walked straight into his house, prompting He Zhiqiu to hurriedly say:

"Senior Sister, why are you... Senior Sister!"

He Zhiqiu spoke while closing the door.

An elder of Zhenyang Sect, a fairy of the current world, shamelessly entangling a mere steward disciple, truly an insult to the sect!

Wei Shouyuan sneered, yet found a bit more credibility in Ye Xiyue’s words.

Having cultivated for many years and ascended to the position of an elder in Zhenyang Sect, Wei Shouyuan was naturally not so easily duped.

Earlier, though he seemed to chat amicably with Ye Xiyue, he didn’t fully believe her claims about him.

That’s why he secretly hid at Xiyue Peak and followed Ye Xiyue to Divinity Transformation Peak to see her still entwined with He Zhiqiu late at night.

...

Simultaneously, in the woods on the other side of the courtyard, Shi Shuhong hid behind a big tree, also spying towards the small courtyard.

Like Wei Shouyuan, he didn’t fully trust He Zhiqiu’s words either, choosing to come secretly at night to investigate.

Unexpectedly, he witnessed Ye Xiyue barging into He Zhiqiu’s room.

Shi Shuhong immediately frowned. If what He Zhiqiu said was true, that Ye Xiyue was just cherishing talent and wanted to take his outside mistress as a disciple, why would she come looking for him at night, with such a wistful demeanor?

Indeed, He Zhiqiu didn’t tell me the truth!

Shi Shuhong took out a piece of talisman paper from his bosom and flicked it. The talisman paper floated above the house, sticking to the roof.

This was a Transparent Listening Talisman, used specifically for intelligence gathering.

Very soon, Shi Shuhong heard the commotion inside the room.

"Senior Sister, I want to focus on cultivation, please stop pestering me."

"Presumptuous! When have I, Ye Xiyue, ever pestered you? Countless men in the world want to form a Dao couple with me, yet you truly don’t know what’s good for you?"

"Senior Sister, I only have respect for you, no desire. Please respect yourself."

"He Zhiqiu, don’t think that just because you saved me in Zhenlian City, I wouldn’t dare to act against you. Today, you have no choice!"

"Elder Ye, if you continue like this, I’ll call for help!"

"Go ahead, call someone. Then I’ll expose how you started something with no commitment, had a wife but still took a concubine, and forsook your wife for an outside woman. Let everyone see what kind of person the hero who drove away the Red Flame Fox really is!"

Shi Shuhong listened, dumbstruck, clenching his fists until they cracked.

Well, well, He Zhiqiu, dare to lie to me!

Turns out Ye Xiyue didn’t want your outside woman, she wanted you!

What a tawdry tale of a fairy of the current generation and an outside woman fighting tooth and nail!

No wonder He Zhiqiu didn’t dare tell me the truth, for he himself is a betrayer who abandoned his wife for an outside woman, secretly entangled with a sect elder.

This lad, looking honest, yet more devious than I ever imagined!

Suppressing his jealousy, Shi Shuhong thought that He Zhiqiu likely wanted to abandon his outside woman due to Ye Xiyue’s favor.

Afraid of exposure, he intended to use Shi Shuhong’s hand to get rid of his outside woman.

Heh, truly heartless! Even more ruthless than I am!

But even though he was used by He Zhiqiu, as long as this Tang truly possesses an Innate Top-grade Spirit Root, nothing else matters.

Conversely, had He Zhiqiu been wholly truthful with him from the start, he’d have been suspicious instead.

Thus, this situation was in Shi Shuhong’s expectations.

It even reinforced his belief that Tang indeed had an Innate Top-grade Spirit Root.

Having gathered enough information, Shi Shuhong didn’t linger, retracting the Transparent Listening Talisman, quietly leaving Divinity Transformation Peak.

...

On the distant side of the courtyard, Wei Shouyuan also heard what he wanted, sneering internally.

Ye Xiyue still wasn’t truthful. Her interest in He Zhiqiu wasn’t just special, she was clearly deeply involved, sneaking in at night to embrace him, truly a bitch!

Yet, because of this, Wei Shouyuan fully believed Ye Xiyue’s story, reclaiming the Transparent Listening Talisman stuck under the window, leaving satisfied.

Returning to Heaven-Reaching Peak, Wei Shouyuan’s face was still brimming with delight.

Now, he just needed an excuse to descend the mountain, to head for Cyan Lotus Mountain in the South Demon region, to seek the woman living by the lotus pond in the back mountain. He would then achieve a breakthrough from Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation Realm!

Back then, he couldn’t even withstand one encounter before the witch Xia Qinglian, thus planting a Heart Demon.

Now, he would advance in the Divinity Transformation realm on the very Cyan Lotus Mountain where Xia Qinglian grew up.

It’s truly the wheel of Heavenly Dao!

This was the best revenge against Xia Qinglian!

Hahaha!

Wei Shouyuan laughed heartily, then furrowed his brows slightly.

Right now, Zhenyang Sect was in a turbulent phase, as an elder, he couldn’t easily leave Zhenyang Mountain.

This excuse, though, wasn’t easy to come by.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Shouyuan’s eyes lit up.

Immortal Ascension Ceremony!

Today, Tantai Mingyue mentioned receiving a message about the Immortal Ascension, all major sects being required to send representatives to West Imperial City to discuss the ceremony.

This was the opportunity to descend the mountain!

Tomorrow, I’ll approach Tantai Mingyue, offering to go to West Imperial City on her behalf. This woman wouldn’t want to be mocked, so she’d surely agree.

This way, I could take the opportunity to visit Cyan Lotus Mountain!

By the time I return to Zhenyang Mountain, I’ll have the prestige of the Divinity Transformation Realm, with all kneeling before me!

Simultaneously.

Divinity Transformation Peak, Peak Master Hall.

Shi Shuhong was also laughing heartily.

"The Immortal Ascension Ceremony is indeed a perfect excuse for descending the mountain!"

"When I return to Zhenyang Mountain, I’ll already be a Great Cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Realm, who else can stop me from taking the position of Sect Leader!"
