The ruckus on the street did not cause much disturbance, and the passers-by soon dispersed and continued to look for places to have fun in the city.

Gong Yimo led Ye Anping to the Heavenly Sorrow Pavilion. Seeing him vigilantly scanning the passers-by on both sides of the street, he comforted him. "Master Liang, there is no need to be so vigilant. In the current situation between immortals and demonic cultivators, it is not a big deal if two or three immortals sneak in."

"Arresting and interrogating spies is the responsibility of the Blood Prison Elder. Elder Gong gave me this position and I can't let down his trust in me, right?"

Gong Yimo smiled, then asked curiously, "By the way, how did you know the identities of those three people? I didn't notice it at all."

Ye Anping immediately thought of an excuse and answered, "I was thinking before that after their Second Lady was captured, the Sword Sect must send someone to rescue her, so I paraded her on the streets today. When the three men saw the Second Lady just now, their eyes looked strange, so I tried to test them, and the result was really... hehe..."

Gong Yimo raised his eyebrows and nodded, thinking that Ye Anping's move was pretty smart, and he couldn't help but praise him. "Master Liang, your plan was quite clever."

"Master Gong, you are too kind. It's just a little cleverness. To be honest, it's thanks to the three immortal cultivators who were too impatient. As soon as I drew my sword, they turned against me. After I search their souls, I'll refine the three people into blood pills and send them to you. "

"Then, I would like to thank you in advance."

"After all, you gave me a place to stay, so I should return the favor..."

…

The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder along the main street for about fifteen minutes. Before the sun completely set, they arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

After showing his badge, the road was smooth. Gong Yimo introduced the various demonic spiritual plants in the mansion's flower garden to Ye Anping with great interest. After a while, they were already standing in front of the gate of the fifteen-story building with a plaque saying "Heavenly Sorrow Pavilion".

Ye Anping looked up at the roof of the pavilion and pretended to be amazed. "It didn't look like much when I first entered the city, but as I got closer, I found that this jade building is really spectacular."

"Really? I think it's quite normal. It's probably because I lived here for a long time and got used to it."

Gong Yimo also looked up at the top of the pavilion.

Seeing that he was not looking at him, Ye Anping took this opportunity to unscrew the stopper of a glass bottle hidden in his sleeve, dipped his fingers in it, and mixed it with his own spiritual energy, letting it spread around his body.

At the same time, he hid the mysterious jade that Si Xuanji gave him to hide his aura in his collar, making as many preparations as possible.

Just as he had finished doing these things, a charming fragrance suddenly assaulted his nostrils.

After Ye Anping smelled this, he realized that Gong Tianchan should be here. He pretended to be confused and twitched his nose, asking, "What is this sudden fragrance?"

Gong Yimo was puzzled. "What fragrance?"

Tap tap---

A sound of light footsteps came from behind. Ye Anping was about to turn his head when a black-haired girl hugged his arm directly, narrowed her amber eyes, and tilted her head to look at his profile, expressing love with her gaze.

That was Pei Lianxue's face.

The moment he saw her, Ye Anping's pupils shrunk slightly, but he stabilized his mind in an instant.

"Senior Gong?"

Gong Tianchan showed a teasing smile on Pei Lianxue's face, which made Ye Anping inexplicably angry. However, he managed to hold back.

He acted like a lustful person, pretending to be unable to control himself, and glanced at Gong Tianchan's cleavage, which was pretty generous, before quickly retracting his gaze. "Senior Gong, please stop teasing me..."

Gong Tianchan noticed his lustful gaze and was very satisfied. She hugged his arm a little tighter, smiling. "Mr. Liang is shy... If I hadn't seen you tossing around that girl from the Sword Sect, I would have thought you were a virgin."

"..."

Gong Yimo glanced at her and helped Ye Anping. "Sister, stop teasing Master Liang. He has no resistance to your charm."

"Hehe… Mr. Liang, my father has been waiting for you for a long time. Go up."

"Okay..."

Ye Anping withdrew his gaze and said nothing more. With Gong Tianchan clinging to his right arm, he entered the pavilion guided by Gong Yimo and slowly climbed up to the top floor on a floating stone staircase.

Standing on the floating stairs, Ye Anping secretly glanced at Gong Tianchan, who was rubbing his arm with her chest, as if trying to arouse his lust, and a murderous intention was born in his heart again.

Gong Tianchan had assumed the appearance of the most important person in his life, and she even acted in such an unrestrained manner.

Although he knew it was fake, and Gong Tianchan herself didn't know what image he was seeing now...

But this move was like slandering his dear sister, and it really touched his bottom line.

Ye Anping felt that he hadn't been so angry with anyone for a long time, but he knew now it was not the right time, so he had to suppress it temporarily.

Seeing Ye Anping constantly peeking at her, Gong Tianchan thought he was about to lose his control, so she asked in a seductive tone, "By the way, who do I look like in your eyes, Master Liang?"

Ye Anping glanced at her again with a smile. "Mei Yunlu, the leader of the Hedonistic Sect who once shared a night of pleasure with me."

"What... No wonder you were shocked when you saw me just now."

Gong Tianchan's eyes widened in disbelief, and even Gong Yimo couldn't help but look back at him. "Did you and Elder Mei... have a night of pleasure?"

"I once got Elder Mei's favors by chance and spent a night with her, but that was many years ago."

"You really are full of surprises, Master Liang."

Gong Yimo was stunned, but thinking about his previous methods and sword techniques, as well as what he did to the Second Lady of the Yun family, calling out the name "Mei Yunlu" didn't sound too much.

He had long felt that this "Liang Daliu" was not like an ordinary rogue cultivator, but rather a wealthy young man who escaped from a big family to make his own way in the world.

Gong Tianchan was naturally even more delighted. As long as she used her charm on this "Liang Daliu" a few more times, this man would be inseparable from her and become her slave, a very powerful slave.

"No wonder my father likes Master Liang so much."

"Hehe..."

While boasting convincingly, the floating stone staircase carrying the three people stopped.

In front of them was a huge palace, much larger than it looked from the outside. The floor was paved with polished marble, and there were decorative vases carved from human bones and skins everywhere.

Gong Yue sat on a blood-jade chair, and the desk in front of him was filled with documents sent from all over the Eastern Region. When he saw Ye Anping coming, he narrowed his eyes and sized him up, then smiled and spread his hands to offer him a seat. "Come on, sit down. Tianchan, serve a cup of tea to Brother Liang."

"Thank you, Elder Gong."

Ye Anping bowed and politely sat down on a guest chair on the side, and Gong Tianchan also retracted her charm and hurried to the side to pour him a cup of steaming blood-red tea.

Gong Yue smiled at him. "Yimo has been praising you a lot these days, so I wanted to meet you. This cup of tea is a greeting gift for you."

Although Ye Anping did not look up at him, he could still feel his sharp gaze. He glanced at the tea poured by Gong Tianchan and saw a dormant toxic parasite in the teacup.

—Soul-eating parasite.

In other words, as long as he drank this cup of tea, his life would be in Gong Yue's hands. As long as he wanted, he could directly activate the toxic parasite to devour his Nascent Soul core and body from the inside out. After that, he could refine the parasite into a tonic pill and eat it himself.

Gong Yue was indeed an old fox.

However, he and his sister used to eat toxic parasites and ingest strong poisons during their practice since young, just to prepare for situations like this that could appear in the future.

In addition, Gong Yue did not use the technique of concealing the parasite but put it in front of him openly.

In other words, after drinking this cup of tea, he would have to change his surname to Gong.

Ye Anping picked up the teacup and pretended to hesitate. After all, not hesitating would look somewhat premeditated. He took a deep breath and looked at Gong Yue's eyes carefully.

Seeing him slightly frowning, he picked up the teacup and drank it all, then cupped his hands and showed the empty teacup to Gong Yue, indicating that he had drunk it.

"Thank you, Elder Gong, for your kindness."

"Good!" Gong Yue nodded with satisfaction and stroked his beard lightly. "Liang boy, it's not that I don't trust you, but you have only been in Heavenly Sorrow City for a few days. With the current situation between immortals and demonic cultivators, I have to be on guard."

"I understand."

"Wait until you stay in Heavenly Sorrow City for a few years, and I will remove this soul-eating parasite from you."

"Okay."

Ye Anping nodded and cupped his hands with a slight smile on his lips.

At this moment, he had obtained everything he needed for this game. Now, he just had to wait for Yun Tianchong to come with the Sword Sect and then he could start the battle.

Gong Yue stroked his beard. "Liang boy, I want to ask your opinion."

"Elder Gong, please speak."

"The Sword Sect is less than three thousand miles away from Heavenly Sorrow City. Yun Tianchong is coming with all the Elders and disciples of the sect. How do you think we should respond?"

Ye Anping lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled. "I think the matter of the Second Lady angered Yun Tianchong. The Sword Sect coming here is nothing more than a moth flying into a flame. There's nothing to be afraid of. We just have to be careful of a diversion of the Immortal Family…"

"What kind of diversion?"

"The Southern Region immortals might use the Sword Sect as bait to lure the Spiritual Charm Sect, Hedonistic Sect, and Seven Demon Sect in the vicinity of the city to let them encircle and suppress it, while the other Southern Region immortal sects take this opportunity to launch surprise attacks from all sides. By then, the three sects will have a hard time defending themselves."

Gong Yue nodded with satisfaction. He tapped Gong Yimo, who sat beside him, and said, "Yimo, learn something. This kid, Liang, can see the intention of the immortals at a glance, but you just asked me to take the people out of the city to fight the enemy."

Gong Yimo shrugged, spread his hands helplessly, and smiled. "But I think it's good for you to go out and suppress the immortals, Dad."

"Why is it good?"

Gong Yimo was stunned for a moment. "Uh..."

Ye Anping took over and said, "What Master Gong said is indeed not wrong."

Gong Yue looked back at Ye Anping, raising his eyebrows. "Tell me."

"If my guess is correct, Elder Gong, you want to stay in Heavenly Sorrow City and wait for the demonic cultivators of the Seven Demon Sect and the Hedonistic Sect to come and encircle and suppress the Sword Sect together, right?"

"Yes..."

"But if that happens, we will have to share the spoils with those demonic sects. The Moon Shadow Sword Sect is nothing to be afraid of, and now we have their Second Lady as a hostage. If you destroy the Sword Sect before the other demonic sects arrive, then everything the Sword Sect has will naturally belong to the Heavenly Sorrow City and the Gong family alone. "

Gong Yimo thought it made sense, and he quickly agreed. "Yes, yes, I think so too."

Gong Yue looked at his adopted son's behavior and shook his head helplessly. He stroked his beard and asked, "Liang boy, what else do you want to say?"

Ye Anping pretended to think about it, then continued, "I heard that the Heavenly Sorrow City formation can be used for attack and defense, and it is a high-level formation, on par with the Eastern Region's top demonic formations."

"Hehe, yes... I've spent a thousand years on this formation, and no one in the Eastern Region can match it. It even blocked Nangong City and tens of thousands of Imperial Sect cultivators for several months..."

"Then, why don't you go out of the city to fight and lure the Sword Sect into the Heavenly Sorrow Valley, then activate the formation to cooperate with your attack on Yun Tianchong? As long as Yun Tianchong dies, the remaining Sword Sect disciples will become a mob."

Gong Yue listened to this and narrowed his eyes. "Then, who will handle the main formation knot if I leave the city?"

Ye Anping looked at Gong Tianchan. "How about giving it to Miss Gong? ...Although it is not enough to bring out the full potential of the formation, it should be an overkill for Yun Tianchong."

"Hehe..."

Gong Yue stroked his beard and smiled. He thought Ye Anping wanted him to hand over the main formation knot to him after he just entered the Gong family. Hearing that he offered it to Gong Tianchan, he realized how "lecherous" he was.

This Liang kid wanted to please his daughter, right?

Gong Tianchan was overjoyed upon hearing this, and she immediately asked, "Father, let me do it, will you?"

"..."

Gong Yue moved his gaze back to Gong Yimo and sighed. "Let's do this. Yimo, at that time, you will form a large formation with the Elders in the city to help me destroy the immortals."

"Okay!"

"Then, Liang boy..."

"Yes, Elder."

"Don't get involved in this matter. I have a gift for you. I heard from Yimo that you like women, so let Tianchan accompany you these days."

Ye Anping expected this to happen. Gong Yue would never let someone like him who had just come to Heavenly Sorrow City not long ago contact the large formation, but he had already got what he wanted, so he didn't say anything more. He pretended to be flattered and said, "...Thank you."

Gong Tianchan was a little upset that she hadn't been given an important position, but she wasn't in a hurry. Ye Anping had helped her just now, which proved that she had captured the person her father liked.

So, she smiled and bowed. "Okay, Father, I'll listen to you."

Then, she turned around and took Ye Anping's arm, pulling him out.

Ye Anping naturally pretended to be happy, let her hold his arm, and walked out.

The Sword Sect was only three thousand miles away from Heavenly Sorrow City, and it would be at the gates of the city in about three to five days. Gong Yue also said that he would let Gong Tianchan accompany him more in the next few days, so he would not summon her again.

In other words, it was time to replace her.

Just like before, although the human skin mask couldn't deceive the biological parents, it could still deceive ordinary Elders.

Ye Anping glanced at Gong Tianchan who was holding his arm, and seeing that she had taken his sister's appearance with her charm technique again, he frowned slightly and quickly looked away.

"Master Liang, are you going to my cave dwelling now?"

"I'll gladly accompany you... hehe..."

… …

The floating steps took the two downstairs. After they left, Gong Yue spoke again. "Yimo, get closer to that Liang kid, you can learn a lot. That kid is very smart..."

"I know." Gong Yimo shrugged with a smile. "On the way here, Master Liang caught three immortal cultivators who sneaked into the city and sent them to the Blood Prison Mansion to prepare to refine them into blood pills."

"Oh?"

"And when we were chatting just now, I heard him say that he had a night of pleasure with Great Elder Mei of the Hedonistic Sect... also, the Second Lady of the Sword Sect was completely submissive to him."

"So..." Gong Yue raised his eyebrows in surprise but soon understood. "No wonder... That strong demonic aura is not something that ordinary people can cultivate. Maybe it's a demonic blood body, but... Since he had already taken the Soul-eating parasite, there is no need to worry about anything. Come here, Dad will tell you about the Heavenly Sorrow City formation..."

"Yes~"
