Chapter 501 Revealing Identity
Having spent so many years together, Yun Yici believed she had a thorough understanding of the imperial edict.
The Emperor has always acted openly and honestly. He should just say what he wants to say to her face. Why beat around the bush and lead her into a dream?
Furthermore, the Sunlight Core itself was obtained by imperial decree.
Since he offered it to us personally, given his noble character, how could he possibly tamper with it afterwards?
Yun Yici's mind raced, but on the surface she feigned anger and pretended not to recognize the other party's identity: "Imperial decree, why did you lead me here?"
"Is there anything that can't be said face to face?"
The imperial edict descended from the clouds, and the figure laughed, "Sect Leader Yun is unparalleled in wisdom. I had no choice but to borrow this body. Do you really not recognize your companion?"
Jiu Meng asked in bewilderment, "Sect Leader Yun, it seems like he's not even pretending anymore, what should we do?"
Yun Yici looked at the approaching "Imperial Edict" and his lips twitched: "If that's the case, let's not beat around the bush."
"Is there something you're hiding that you're ashamed of?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you've already used the light core as a medium to curse and kill many cultivators in your dreams."
"Even those cultivators who died tragically after obtaining the light core were killed by you?"
No wonder the Light Core always manages to "by chance" return to the auction house; it turns out the auction house had already tampered with the Light Core!
Thinking about it this way, Yun Yici really thought of someone.
There should be no snow.
In his previous life, Xie Qianjue had mentioned that he had collaborated extensively with Ying Xuewu's underground auction house.
It's possible that the auction house that's been auctioning off light cores is the same one that Ying Xuewu owns.
But without evidence, she couldn't just rush out to confront Ying Xuewu based on Xie Qianjue's words in her dream.
The fact that the other party has been manipulating things behind the scenes for thousands of years and harming many high-level cultivators shows that he is fearless and has nothing to fear.
Furthermore, her sudden attack on Ying Xuewu could arouse the vigilance of other sect leaders, thereby affecting their subsequent cooperative relationship.
Yun Yici calmed himself down, thinking that he couldn't swallow this loss head-on and needed to continue to deal with him.
She remembered that Chu Xuan had once said that they had attended Ying Xuewu's succession ceremony as sect leader.
The existence of the light core dates back thousands of years, meaning that Ying Xuewu is only the ruler of this generation.
The auction house's influence may not belong to Ying Xuewu, but rather to the entire Tianyu Palace; the other major sects are unaware of this.
"Imperial Decree" curled his lips into a slight smile: "Sect Leader Yun is indeed clueless about romance."
"Did I invite you here to discuss these things?"
“Those mediocre people who were afraid of death before, even after obtaining treasures, did not know the principle of making the most of them, and instead treated them as mere decorations and kept them on high shelves.”
"Fortunately, Sect Leader Yun had the discerning eye to recognize its value, which allowed this treasure to fulfill its mission."
"However, what exactly is it looking for? Could Sect Leader Yun please enlighten me?"
Yun Yici said coldly, "So you deliberately put this light core up for auction? To select high-level cultivators to help you explore the secrets of the light core?"
"You killed all the lazy workers and then had to choose new people?"
"Now what do you plan to do to me?"
It seems that Ying Xuewu did not know that the light core was attracted by Jiu Meng, and thought that the light core was some kind of treasure that guided the demon realm.
As Yun Yici pondered, the "Imperial Edict" belt in front of him suddenly fell off, and his crimson robe opened to reveal his snow-white undergarment.
"No, you can talk, but why are you suddenly taking off your clothes?"
Yun Yici was caught off guard by the other party's sudden action.
The emperor's naturally alluring and captivating face had unknowingly led him to become excessively intimate with her.
That damned Ying Xuewu, relying on the Emperor's decree to commit heinous acts.
Yun Yici remained expressionless. Even if it were the real Emperor's decree, she wouldn't be swayed by the other party's good looks, let alone the imposter in front of her.
Just as the "Imperial Edict" was about to be placed on her, Yun Yici slightly bent her left index and middle fingers and dug them into the other person's eyes.
The fake "imperial edict" looked surprised, but his movements were swift.
At the critical moment, he suddenly tilted his head, narrowly avoiding Yun Yici's two fingers.
Unexpectedly, this move was just a feint by Yun Yici.
Seeing that the imposter had dodged, she swiftly attacked his cheek with her other hand.
The sharpest point of the hairpin hidden between Yun Yici's fingers instantly slashed the other person's snow-white face.
A sharp pain shot through him, and a bloody gash appeared on "Imperial Edict's" face.
Blood seeped out instantly, flowing down his cheeks and staining his white undergarment red.
Even so, the injury did not diminish his handsomeness; on the contrary, it added a touch of vividness and beauty to the emperor's unparalleled appearance.
The fake "imperial edict" hurriedly retreated, and said with a bitter smile, "Sect Leader Yun, how ruthless you are! Are you so merciless even to your own people?"
Yun Yici's eyes were icy: "Who do you consider yourself one of my own?"
“Since you bear the face of my companion, you should be prepared for me to destroy it.”
Seeing that the pretense had been broken, the "imperial edict" ceased to be a pretense.
"Why bother, Sect Leader Yun? I invited you here with no ill intentions, but simply to offer you a fortuitous opportunity."
"Are you currently in the Integration Stage?"
"I have a way to help you reach a higher level."
Yun Yici's eyes flickered slightly as she probed, "The way you mean to help me improve my cultivation is by taking off my clothes?"
The "Imperial Decree" nodded and said, "Cultivating with me in my dreams can also help you gradually improve your cultivation level, and it will not damage your primordial yin."
"Of course, if you are willing, we can also practice dual cultivation. On your first attempt, we can help you advance to the Mahayana stage."
"I know that Sect Leader Yun has plenty of time, but it would be a good thing if he could improve as soon as possible."
Jiu Meng, who had overheard this "good thing," turned green with anger: "This is absolutely unacceptable! Sect Leader Yun, I'll send you out."
"You have no spiritual power right now, so be careful this lecherous fellow doesn't treat you rudely!"
These days, Jiu Meng has come to understand that Di Zhao's possessiveness toward Yun Yi Ci goes beyond normal platonic affection.
If this matter is exposed one day and the Emperor finds out, Yun Yici will be fine, but if she stands idly by, the light core will probably be shattered into dust.
The fake "imperial edict," unaware that a third person was present, was still awaiting Yun Yici's reply: "What is Sect Leader Yun's opinion?"
Without thinking, Yun Yici said, "It doesn't matter. If you want to cultivate together, I can grant your wish."
Before the joy on the Emperor's face had faded, he heard the sharp-tongued man in front of him say mercilessly, "You can choose any of these: demonic pigs or monsters."
"I keep my word, Sect Leader Ying."
With blood splattered on his face, the "Imperial Edict" finally stopped laughing: "So you saw through my identity all along."
Yun Yici looked annoyed: "So, you led me into my dream last night just to talk about dual cultivation?"
"Do the other sect leaders know about your collusion with the auction house?"
"Over the years, you must have killed some high-level cultivators from various sects."
"Tell me, if these sect leaders knew this was your doing, how would they deal with you?"
The "Imperial Edict" remained silent, but the illusion surrounding him gradually faded, revealing Ying Xuewu's elegant and handsome face.
"It was my fault; I was too rude to Sect Leader Yun."
"I admire Sect Leader Yun, but I am unable to get close to him due to the imperial decree. Please forgive me this time."
"I am not colluding with the auction house, but because the former owner of the light core was the former head of my sect."
"I have seen such a treasure in the hands of the sect leader before, and that's how I learned about its contents."
"That day, I guessed that it was Sect Leader Yun and your group that obtained the light core, so I made an excuse to travel with you and invited you to come along. In fact, I wanted to take the opportunity to remind you of the mystery behind it."
"However, Sect Leader Yun has been avoiding me, so I haven't had a chance to remind him."
"It's true that I admire you, and it's also true that cultivating with me can improve my cultivation level."
