[Ding! The Child of Destiny Qin Yuan's Xiantian Spirit Corpse, Yaoyao, has been taken, resulting in heavy losses and a huge impact on his destiny line. Plundered +4,000,000 destiny value!]
[Ding! The Child of Destiny Qin Yuan has suffered a devastating blow, and his Dao Heart has been damaged. Plundered +1,000,000 destiny value!]
[Ding! The Child of Destiny Qin Yuan's destiny value is below 30%. His luck has fallen into a trough, and the probability of a successful kill has greatly increased!]
…
'This haul… it's like Emperor Qin himself stumbled upon a high-voltage power line. An absolute win.'
The suppressed smile Shen Anyu had been holding back finally broke free, curving into a grin of pure, unadulterated triumph.
This trip to the Shaman God Cult's territory in Nanjiang had been more fruitful than he could have imagined. Not only had he plundered the exceedingly precious Xiantian Spirit Corpse, Yaoyao, but he had also acquired the Child of Destiny Qin Yuan's storage ring, filled with countless spiritual elixirs and miraculous medicines. To top it all off, he had plundered a staggering seven million destiny value in one fell swoop.
It was a massive victory.
Shen Anyu's gaze drifted to the bronze coffin suspended in the air. His eyes lingered on the figure within—the Xiantian Spirit Corpse, Yaoyao. She was a weapon of infinite potential, a truly great prize. If he could help her successfully handle her Lightning Tribulation and reach the Golden Core realm, her power would be difficult to fathom.
Even now, releasing her for a brief period while her tribulation was still brewing would serve as a major trump card. She was exceptionally useful.
And now, all of it belonged to him. Qin Yuan could forget about ever seeing her again.
As for Qin Yuan's soul, currently hiding deep underground, Shen Anyu was, of course, perfectly aware of its location. However, he had no intention of dealing with it just yet. Qin Yuan still had over two million destiny value clinging to him, and Shen Anyu was never one to be wasteful.
If Qin Yuan posed a significant, immediate threat, he would naturally be eliminated to prevent any unforeseen complications. But thanks to the God-level Duplication Card, Shen Anyu now possessed Qin Yuan's memories and was privy to all his secrets. The boy no longer had any formidable trump cards left. With his storage ring and Yaoyao in Shen Anyu's hands, and his physical body destroyed, his strength had been drastically reduced.
Shen Anyu could even anticipate Qin Yuan's subsequent plans and desperate thoughts. With the Xiantian Spirit Corpse in his possession, it was only a matter of time before Qin Yuan came knocking on his door.
'I have over twenty million destiny value now,'Shen Anyu mused, a flicker of amusement in his eyes as the corners of his mouth lifted.'I can deal with Ren Zhacheng ahead of schedule and devour that Goddess Future Diary System…'
Originally, he had calculated that he would only accumulate twenty million destiny value after dealing with the Super Soldier King, Xiao Fan. But thanks to Qin Yuan's generous contribution, he had reached his goal early.
He would return to Hangzhou, devour the Goddess Future Diary System, and eliminate Ren Zhacheng for good.
"Honored Master, our losses this time are severe. The Shaman God Cult headquarters… it's gone."
At that moment, a high-ranking expert from the cult approached Wu Shenyun, his expression grim as he cupped his fists in a formal report.
The Shaman God Cult's headquarters had once been a magnificent complex, stretching for several miles—the old lair that the Blood Gu Sect had managed for a hundred years. Now, after the series of devastating battles, it had been reduced to complete and utter ruin. The ground itself had sunk several meters after Yaoyao's appearance, and the landscape was scarred with deep, bottomless cracks and ravines that were shocking to behold.
"If it's gone, it's gone. As long as our people are still here, we can rebuild," Wu Shenyun said calmly. Her delicate brows furrowed for a moment before smoothing out again.
She didn't care about such material losses. As long as the casualties among her followers weren't significant, everything else was secondary. Having annihilated the Blood Gu Sect and established herself as the new overlord of Nanjiang, Wu Shenyun was not short on funds. With a wave of her jade-like hand, manpower and resources would be readily available.
"Right Protector, you will lead the efforts to rebuild the headquarters."
"Left Protector, take a team to dispose of these corpses and discreetly investigate their identities."
"All compensation for our fallen cult members will be of the highest standard."
"…"
Seeing their Honored Master so calm and composed, issuing clear and orderly instructions for the aftermath and compensation, the experts of the Shaman God Cult felt their own anxieties settle. They cupped their fists in salute and withdrew to carry out her commands.
A few of them cast curious glances at Shen Anyu, who stood beside their master, but none dared to ask any questions.
Shen Anyu watched with great interest as Wu Shenyun systematically handled the various matters of cleanup and compensation, taking care not to disturb her. One by one, the fierce experts of the Shaman God Cult—whether they were Grandmasters or Great Grandmasters—were utterly respectful, not daring to show the slightest hint of disrespect in her presence. They revered her as if she were a queen, not even daring to meet her gaze.
Only Shen Anyu watched with an easy smile, his gaze burning and direct.
Being so openly scrutinized by him, a faint blush crept onto Wu Shenyun's exquisite, jade-like face. She didn't turn to look at him, however, continuing to issue her final orders. Only after she had finished and watched the last of her subordinates withdraw did she finally turn to face Shen Anyu, her expression once again cool and distant.
"Yun Nu, you did well this time. Do you require a reward?" Shen Anyu asked, raising an eyebrow. She seemed a little unhappy.
"Hmph. It is my duty. I need no reward," Wu Shenyun snorted lightly.
Then, her phoenix eyes stared directly at Shen Anyu as she asked coldly, "Shen Anyu, are you that desperate for beautiful women?"
"?" Shen Anyu tilted his head, then smiled and gave a slight nod. "I don't mind having more."
"…" Wu Shenyun rubbed her forehead, glaring at him in exasperation. "It was too dangerous just now! That girl was terrifying, and that lightning was even more so. Yet you actually rushed into the sky to save her. If you had been struck, you would have died!"
She continued, her voice sharp, "And later, suppressing that bronze coffin… it was very impressive, I'm sure, but did you even consider how dangerous it was?"
At this point, Wu Shenyun saw the unshakable smile on Shen Anyu's handsome face. Her expression immediately frosted over again.
"Shen Anyu, this Honored Master is not worried about your life or death," she said icily. "But we are bound by some strange master-servant contract. If you die, this Honored Master will die with you. Shen Anyu, can you be a bit more responsible? If you're so determined to die, can you please dissolve the contract first?"
"Ah…"
The next moment, Wu Shenyun cried out in surprise, completely caught off guard.
Shen Anyu's body suddenly went limp, and he swayed as if he were about to collapse.
Panic flared in Wu Shenyun's eyes. She instinctively lunged forward, catching him and holding him in her arms. "What's wrong? What's wrong with you? Speak, Shen Anyu, quickly, speak!"
"Just… a bit exhausted," Shen Anyu said weakly, his head conveniently finding a comfortable spot in her embrace. "My meridians are shaken. It's not a big deal…"
This noble and powerful Honored Master of the Shaman God Cult possessed a figure that was a complete contradiction to her cold exterior. Her bosom was generous, at least a D-cup, and felt surprisingly soft.
Only two words echoed in Shen Anyu's mind: 'Very comfortable.'
"Hmph. I told you not to show off," Wu Shenyun grumbled. Her face was slightly red, and the sternness in her phoenix eyes had been replaced by a flustered annoyance. Still, she didn't push away Shen Anyu for his shameless action. Her slender, jade-like fingers pressed against his wrist to check his pulse, and after a moment, she breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
With his God-level Steel Body, Shen Anyu was naturally not seriously injured. However, forcibly sealing the Xiantian Spirit Corpse Yaoyao back into the bronze coffin had almost completely drained his strength. The backlash had indeed shaken some of his internal meridians, making his qi flow sluggish.
This was only because the Celestial Corpse Refining Divine Method had interfered, causing Yaoyao to exert less than a tenth of her full potential. The true power of a being a hundred times stronger than the False Core Formation stage could only be described as terrifying. If not for the restrictions placed upon her and her fear of the Lightning Tribulation, she would be utterly invincible.
Of course, Shen Anyu wasn't actually this weak. A quick use of the Super Divine Skill Sharing to borrow power from Susan, and he would be back on his feet in an instant.
But if he could lie down, First Young Master Shen would never choose to stand.
